Sun rays peeped from the window illuminating the whole room. Tossing and turning to other side Arohi's hand reached to seek warmness from her husband but her hand was met with only cold sheets. She moved her hand on empty space in hope to find him at farther end. When her every attempt went futile, she opened her eyes to confirm his absence.
Reaching for watch she looked at time. 8:00 am.
She sat up looking around for him but he was nowhere to be seen. Slipping into her rose gold woollen cardigan she stepped out of blanket. Giving a light knock on washroom door, she called out his name.
"Arjun"
But no response. Her hand moved towards the knob and she found the door was opened. Slightly opening the door she looked inside and much to her dismay the washroom was empty.
Before she could carry on with her search operation her eyes landed on the note stuck at mirror.
"Good Morning Jaan!
Early meeting with client. You were sleeping so didn't disturbed you.
Love
Arjun"
A dejected sigh released from her mouth as she read the note. Again he left without meeting her. Even after living under same roof she feels like it had been ages she last saw him. From last few months his schedule has been like this only. He would leave early for office and come late at night. By the time he returns she has already dozed off waiting for him. It had been so long they had any proper conversation. The only conservations she remember was either on WhatsApp or call which didn't lasted more than 2 minutes.
She looked at his coat which he wore yesterday laying carelessly on couch. Picking it she brought it in front of her eyes and softly caressed it as if it was not his coat but Arjun himself. She hugged it close to heart as its every fiber oozed out Arjun's aroma. The coat gave her all feels as she was engulfed by Arjun's cologne.
She missed him. She missed him damn so much! She missed his strong arms around her, his loving gazes, his kisses...she missed everything about him.
She knows and understands his work. He has worked very hard to reach where he is today. She has seen his struggles and hardships and she feels immense proud on seeing him at top. He has started from nothing and now he rules the business world. He has been workaholic and ambitious from start but ever since he became Businessman of Year, the condition has worsened. Theirs had been Love marriage and she has no doubt that her Arjun still loves her the same, in fact his love has only increased in these 2 years of marriage. The only thing that worries her that she might get lost behind the pile of his work files. She feels this constant aura of sadness and hopelessness around her.
Maybe she was worrying unnecessarily but this constant ache in her heart to be around him doesn't let her sit peacefully. Clutching the coat tightly she looked at their wedding photograph that was hanging on wall.
"I miss you, Arjun"

The constant ringing of his phone made him look away from his laptop. A frown found its place on his face as he saw the caller, Arohi's doctor- Dr.Das
"Hello"
"Arjun, can u come to meet me at hospital today? I need to discuss something important. It's about Arohi" came a stern voice from other side.
Arjun's frown deepened "Sure doc. Anything serious?"
"Yes."
