Bittersweet

-13-

The Bright yellow street light streamed into the restaurant through the windows giving a dim candlelight ambiance. Sathya was resting on the chair near the entrance. The time is almost going to be 11.30pm in the night, she couldn't bear this sleep anymore so eventually dozed by sitting upright, but she was not actually sleeping she is dreaming, night dreaming about her husband.

Yesterday after their love confession they mostly stayed up in the house enjoying every bit of second being in love under the thundering sky. Having a one-sided love is different compared to mutual love she won't get too much excited when Raghu is near to her before but thinking he is too in love with her is kind of fascinating to feel. She couldn't stop it flowing out from her eyes, heart and in her actions.

She doesn't like to come back to their routine, the two days stay in his house was the most beautiful moments in her life.

Morning she got ready for work half-heartedly since Raghu said he can't take leave and he is having an important meeting in the office which he can't avoid.

Due to this travel Sathya haven't slept properly last night so she is napping and at the same time dreaming about her husband, even in her dreams he is not smiling much but he never failed to attract her.

Sathya smiled reminding the moment he said that he is love with her. It is something unbelievable that time. For all these days she was thinking that he is not that kind of person who will openly confess his love. Out of nowhere, when he said those words it was like she is speechless. She finds much difficult to meet his face. For the first time, she realized what it feels to be in love.

That time her phone started ringing, Sathya opened her eyes she didn't check her mobile instead looked out there Raghu was waiting on his bike with the phone in his hand.

She walked carrying her handbag and water bottle. Despite she is tired to walk even a step, she sauntered enthusiastically after seeing him perhaps is this called the strength of love.

She saw his face, "Are you tired?" she asked him like she is not.

"Yes. I just want to sleep, tightly hugging you. Get on quickly," he said in a worn out tone.

She looked at him in an apologetic way because he has to drive for twenty minutes to reach their house. It's not a big thing for him but she is sad.

Once they reached home, Raghu headed straight to the bedroom. Removing his shirt he just stumbled on the bed closing his eyes. Sathya came in closing the door and sat beside him.

"Do you want anything to drink, have you ate dinner?" she asked fondling his hair. Experiencing love is delightful but one will feel the real bliss showing it to the person who belongs to that love, it is something heavenly and satisfying.

"Hmm, I don't want anything" Raghu nodded and gripped her hand near to his chest.

Sathya kept her gaze fixed on him and he was closing his eyes, "There is something in your face," she told.

"In my face?" he opened his eyes and looked her.

"Where?" he asked and she blushed.

"Here," she came closer suddenly gave a nice bite on his cheeks.

"Ouch,"

"You tempting me to do something, sorry," she grinned.

He raised his one eyebrow, "do you want to know what you tempt me to do?" he asked.

The next moment he threw himself on her and Sathya giggled. "Can I tell you something?" he looked at her eyes which was telling him how much she is in love.
