*flashback continues*

In the middle of my darkness, I found light;
In the middle of my pain, I found your sight;
In the middle of agony, you became my knight.

My head was paining since I had skipped my medicines last night. I tried forcing myself to sleep but I couldn't do it anymore and my eyes finally flew open. The wall clock said 3:30am.

I lazily saw to my other side just to find the most angelic face right next to me.

Manik's hand tugged my waist as he held me so tightly that I might run away, his face snuggling into my hair and mine near his neck. What a beautiful dream this is!

I pulled away from him to see his beautiful face in the moonlight that came in from the open balcony. His face was frownless, peaceful.

I didn't even realise as I took my phone from the side and clicked a picture of him.

Reality doomed upon me. This was my Home. And what was Manik even doing here?

How did he get inside? Shit! I thought I was dreaming last night when I felt his arms around me but no, here he is, sleeping like a baby sucking his thumb.

I immediately pulled away and moved away from the bed.

He was with Soha a few hours back. And now he is with me, sleeping here. He had lied to me, and here I was lying in his arms, wearing his clothes.

I went to my wardrobe and removed a fresh pair of clothes, getting rid of his tee shirt. I wore my plain blue fitted jeans with my black tank crop top that ended just a bit before my waist.

I am going to definitely need a lot of answers when he gets up. I sighed as I took his tee shirt that I was wearing and let it be on the side table.

I amn't going to let this go so easily the next morning.

But till then, I decided to make myself some coffee.

My kitchen was downstairs so I switched on but the light down as I left from there, letting the Baby Malhotra sleep.

Baby reminded me of Aryamman. I spoke so rudely to him last night when all he was doing was trying to help me. I felt so guilty.

I immediately took my phone and I called him up. A few rings passed by and he didn't pick up. Just when I was about to cut it, he answered.

"Hello.....", I heard a sleepy voice.

"Aryamman-...." before I could say ahead, he cut me off.

"Nandini, are you okay? Are you fine? Do you need anything? I told you staying alone isn't a good idea but tum meri sunti kahan ho, sahi naam rakha tha meine- baby. Cause vaise hi stubborn ho tum-......", he shouted till I stopped him.

"ARYAMMAN!" I shouted and he was silenced at once. "I called you to say sorry for being rude last night...", I said sorry.

"Phir tumhe mujhe ek aur baar sorry bolna padega...", he said and I pouted putting the milk for my coffee.

"Stop pouting baby and ask me why!" He said sarcastically and I rolled my eyes at the imaginary him talking to me.

"Why?", I said biting my tongue.
