Yearning

Hello all, so another OS. This is one of my favorites, I wrote it for IF. Thought of sharing here. But those who are reading it for the first time, this is not something usual. So please keep an open mind.

                         ~~^^~~

"Happy Anniversary, sweet heart." he kissed me on my forehead, crushing me into a bear hug. I really had no idea, why it always felt so special. Might be, there was some connection between my forehead and heart. I chuckled.

"What's so funny?" 

"Mmm nothing!" I looked up to his face, finding him, smiling sheepishly. 

"What?? "

"Sometimes I feel like I am hugging an infant! " he laughed.

"Oyeee hello, I am taller than the average girls around okay! And secondly it's not my fault that you are this gigantic." I pouted.

He swiftly pecked on my lips "And it's so cute that you are this tiny. I love it, you know why?" he pulled me in his arms and put one of his hand on my head, securing it on his chest, "because, you can hear my heart beat like this! If you were taller, then..." he shook his head.

I smiled "You and your logic."

"Hmmm! But I love you." he asked squeezing me more into his body.

"I love you too."

"More than anybody?"

"Yes, more than anybody!" 

My Shravan had become like this only. On every little step, every little moment, he just needed to be assured that I loved him, I sighed.

"So what's the plan? " I asked, shoving all the thoughts aside.

"We will go for a dinner, then a long drive what say...just you and me." he smiled. 

"But Shravan, we need to ask our family too no. What if they already have planned something?!" 

"I don't care, we are going to celebrate, but only me and you!" his features got hard. 

"Shravan... Please... "

"You care more about them? Am I not important to you? " 

Sensing his restlessness "Of course you are Shravan, and they are too, because they are your family!"

He barked a laugh "My family... Yeah I know! My mother left me because of her own reasons, my father lied to me because of his own reasons. They didn't really think about me. Did they? "

"Shravan it's been two years...please, what ever be the reason, we are together right! Please... Stop thinking all this." 

"That's why, I don't need anybody apart from you. Simple. It was your wish that we should stay with our family, so I did!  It was your wish that I should forgive my parents, and I am trying, trying hard, I am talking to them normally right! I behave properly right! But don't expect anything more than this."  again giving a soft peck on my forehead, "Chalo, I should be going by now, I am already late. I'll collect you from PCT. Okay."

We went for dinner, much to family's dismay. I ought to remind them about what Dr Khanna the psychiatrist had said about Shravan. We couldn't afford another nervous breakdown. It had been a miracle that Shravan was still able to cope with the situation. But he wasn't fully recovered.

"So...let's go for a drive." he said, finishing the desert.

"Okay..."

"Sumo.. " he paused looking at me "Aren't you happy?"
