She is sleeping on the couch..... A cute frown and lot of tiredness on her face....
She drives 3 hours after hectic day schedule..... Just to be with him.... As they are posted just three hours apart from each other.....
He sometimes drives past midnight to spend those four to five hours in her proximity.... As the know they won't be lucky enough to get next posting so close to each other......
But all their tiredness and fatigue gets washed up the moment they look at each other.... Their faces light up....
Their relationship is difficult and the distance is inevitable..... But they do as much as they can to be with each other......
He unlocked the door with his key to find this cute sloth curled up on the couch....
He tip toed towards the bedroom..... Careful not to wake her up.....
And after cooking dinner for both of them.... Lovingly patted her cheeks to wake her up....
"aap kab aae...." she smilingly asked half in her sleep....
"jab tum gehri neend me thi.... Kaha to tha tumse aaj wahi reh jana.... Headquarters me bohot kaam he.... Time se nahi aa paunga...." he said kissing her knuckles....
"kya zaroorat thi drive karne ki....""aap ne apni aawaz suni hoti jab aap mujhse na aane ke liye keh rahe the.... Tab pata chalta..... Bilkul man nahi tha aapka aaj ke din akele rehne ka...."
"haan.... Par tum bhi to thak gai hongi na...."
"teen ghante ka raasta.... Aap se milne ki anticipation me kab kat jata he.... Pata hi nai chalta...."
He looked at her passionately.....
"bohot pareshan karta hun na tumhe..... Shadi ke baat bhi.... Humari life me stability nai he....tumse kitna kuch promise kia tha aur naveen se while marrying you.... Par.... I feel am not a good husband ..... .."
"stable life ki zaroorat mujhe kabhi nai thi.... Jis ki zaroorat he..... Wo to aapne bina mange de diya....."
His eyes brimmed and they realized that this conversation is getting far too sentimental.....
"wese.... Aur bhi kuch he mere pas tumhe dene ke liye...."
He opened a box full of choclates.... And she almost jumped out of her seat......
"aah aah... Pehle fresh ho kar dinner kar lo.... Fir desert..."
She whined....."aap lecture mat kiya karo choclates samne rakh kar.... Mere andar ka sara self control chala jata he inhe dekh kar...."
Saying that she stuffed creamy goodies in her mouth.... Filling more of them in her fists..... And ran towards bedroom....
He smiled at this kiddo..... She gets happy with simple things.... Her face glows even with small presents like chocolates or... Her favourite novel or a dinner cooked by him... Or a surprise long drive.... She doesn't need anything more than his company.... To be happy.....He is pleased to have a girl like her in his life .... He sometimes gets over bearing..... And too demanding...... Not wanting to let go off her..... As she is that special to him.....
Its really difficult to find someone so commited and devoted..without demanding anything much... He can never tell her how much she matters and how much he loves her.....He wonders if he could ever thank naveen enough .... For bestowing this bundle of joy in his life...
"kahan kho gaye aap..... Mere pet me pura zoo daud raha he....chaliye na chal ke dinner karte he..... Kal subah wapas base pe drive karna hoga...."
"abhi aaya jaan....."
He freshens up as she serves dinner...."aap ko pata he....aaj hi huda ka phone aaya tha.... Uski aur sameera ki engagement he next month...."
They kept talking about random stuff..... And he picked her in his arms.... After.......to take her to bed....
She giggles....as he gives her a head massage....
As he occasionally tickles her....." aap ke hath.... They are magical.... Aap army officer ke sath massuese bhi the kya.....pehle....."
"nai to..." he suddenly realized what she said and started rubbing oil on her face..... Tickling her... And she fell on bed... Her clothes messed up....
"massuese ki bacchi.... Abhi bata ta hun.... Tumhe apne sare skills..."
They break in fits of laughter and neither know when they undress the other.... And start making love...A few hours later .... They are lying on the bed..... Fast asleep.... With content smile on their faces.... Its just two hours for them..... To wake up.... And head back to their duties.....
