Unnamed Thoughts

7. 'Realisation'

Sonakshi woke up the next morning and looked at the back wall of Dev's room and smiled when she felt his arm lightly around her. She turned around and looked at him, he looked so serene she didn't want to wake him up. Moreover she didn't mind him staying at home and sleeping all day instead of seeing that Viola Love kiss him again and again. And honestly she didn't want to get out from the warm circle of his arms. She'd got here beside him and somewhere she was confident it wouldn't take long for her to enter his heart either.

She found it fun to look at him as he slept. Eventually he felt her stare and fluttered his eyes open. Quickly she looked down and closed her eyes just in time to allow him to think she was sleeping.

He looked at her the hair that had freshly fallen over her cheeks and then something told him she was awake. Maybe the smile that she was trying to hide by biting her inner lower lip.

"Good morning Sonakshi." He said lifting her face.

Her lips set free into a smile with her eyes still closed. "Good morning." Her eyes opened and met his. "How did you know I was awake?"

"I don't know." He shrugged, he could have kissed her good morning and he knew she wouldn't mind but he pushed the thought away, the kisses could wait for a few more days. He took his arm away and got out of bed. "We have a meeting with Viola at nine today and she will kill us if we're late, so hurry."

She made a face behind his back and rolled to her stomach and pressed her face on the pillow he'd slept on the night before and smiled at the smell of him. She thought herself to be insane to be so madly in love with her husband like a lover who was desperate to stay with her boyfriend all day, everyday. The fact that they were married and saw each other all day, every day, didn't bother her from falling in love with him deeper everyday.

Engaged to Jatin, she'd convinced herself she would forget Dev, and a part of her told her she had. When she married him she knew she was still in love with him, but the love was limited then. Now as she was spending more and more time with him, she fell deeper and deeper. And the love strengthened every time they supported each other with something. While she was kissing him yesterday for a second she felt that she had made a mistake by doing so. But when he'd pulled her closer and used pressure on her lips back, she knew instantly she hadn't. His support in front of Viola, for whatever reason it was, was overwhelming.

When Dev came back from the shower he saw Sonakshi still in bed, her face still pressed in the pillow. He lifted a brow at her laziness, very unlike Sonakshi. But at least she didn't feel obligated to be making his bed and preparing his breakfast everyday because she had to. She had been doing the chores because she thought that's what a job of a wife was. Now, he thought, she was realizing that they weren't all.

"Sonakshi." She turned her face and looked at him standing in his international blue robe. He walked across to his closet and took out the first thing he saw to wear. "Are you planning to stay home and sleep all day?"

"Sounds fun." She mumbled back into the pillow. "It's only six, I'm sure I could linger in bed and still get to the office on time. And, you can conduct he meeting alone." Originally she just didn't feel like going today, laziness seemed to be the mood of the day. "I feel like I need a day to sit at home all day and do nothing. Not even go and take a shower, just stay in bed."

He laughed. "You can, just not today. You'll have Saturday and Sunday for that and I'll accompany you." He sat down beside her, "now get up."

"No." She shook her head.

"Did you used to bother your parents on school mornings?"

She turned to her back now, "I did and I miss that. Mom would pick me up and put me under a cold shower.
