I was enjoying, more like getting bored because of my post exam holidays. Spending my day cooking, watching tv, irritating ruhan or reading something in the library. All of my friends are out of town, some are visiting their parents, some to chill with their friends and I'm sitting on this couch like a potato with popcorn bowl in my hand and watching the re-runs of Vampire diaries. I did not realised when I fall asleep. When I woke up I was welcomed by arms around my stomach holding me tight to a hard chest and Ruhan's breaths on my neck. Putting a smile on my face, I always feel being protected whenever he holds me like this. After coming out of my trance I looked at my phone for time and get shocked to realise it is 10 at night. I woke ruhan up to find him wearing his office clothes still.
"what is this wifey? " he asked me, getting irritated because I woke him from his deep sleep.
" Get up Mr. It is 10 in the night. Go get freshen up and come down to eat" I told him sternly.
"Ok ma'am. Whatever the queen says" he said bowing down in front of me and I picked up a pillow from the couch and throw at him,but it missed. Ruhan laughed at me hard, making fun of my poor aim and teasing me that an agent's wife doesn't know how to aim and I picked another one and throw at him but that one also missed him and all this made him to laugh harder. I showed him my tongue like a little child. And he laughed more but I gave him my serious look and he went up to freshen up. After he returned we both ate our dinner and discussed about how our day went. With him teasing me in between,about my laziness.
"What else to do Mr " I told him about how I'm getting bored all alone.
" I know wifey. Right now our workplace is also pretty much stressful because of the new mission, otherwise i would have taken you somewhere. But don't worry I'm taking you out tomorrow so be ready by 8. " he replied lighting up my day. We both were sitting down watching Vampire diaries and again I was lost in my sexy, hot Damon. Just then I felt ruhan nudging Me.
"what the hell ruhan?Let me focus" I told him, getting irritated by him and he wiped my mouth saying I got little something on my face and I licked his hand. Only to found him saying "yucksssssss wifey" and I laughed at his expense. After that we both went to sleep. Next day same routine followed through, with me chilling like usual. When it was around 6 in the evening. I decided to call ruhan to ask him about what Kind of clothes should I wear. Only to found his cellphone already engaged. 'Must be his work' I thought and decided to wear something casual and after getting ready I sat down on couch watching something random, waiting for Ruhan. It was 8:30 and still no news of ruhan. 'Must be stuck in traffic' I thought and decided to wait some more, half an hour later I received a msg from ruhan stating he won't be able to come as he is busy in his work and he will be reaching late today. I felt disheartened and what hurt me more was that he replied via a text msg. He should have called and said sorry. 'but he is busy nowadays because of his mission. Maybe that's why he wasn't able to call' a voice whispered and I agreed with it and decided to cook something delicious for both of us and after that I sat down waiting for him to arrive but when it was 11:30 I decided to call him but he didn't picked up and I ate dinner alone and went up to sleep. I don't know when I dozed off while waiting for Ruhan. When I woke up in the morning I turned around to find Ruhan's side still empty I went down to find breakfast on table and a slip near it stating ruhan has went for work, as he didn't wanted to bother me he made breakfast for both of us. Even though I was little bothered by Ruhan's behaviour but I decided to let it go and decided to discuss it with him in tonight at dinner. I spend my whole day in the library writing something and reading books and this trick always helped me to calm down. I didn't realised how much time has past and when I dozed off. I got awakened by someone ringing our doorbell. I went to open our door to found worn out ruhan entering inside and went straight to library asking me to make some tea for him as his head was aching. I made tea and thought of it as a chance to talk to him also. I opened the library door quietly as Ruhan's head was already aching only to found him talking furiously with someone when he realised I entered inside he cut his call and shouted at me "how much have you heard. You should have knocked before entering"
"I am sorry but I thought your head is already aching so I didn't  knock " I said looking at him with hurt obvious in my voice
" I am sorry. It's just that things been pretty hectic lately. You please leave the tea on table. I'll be coming down in half an hour "he replied after calming himself down and after that I went down to prepare dinner for both of us. I was lost the whole time thinking about Ruhan's behaviour. We silently ate with ruhan being busy on his phone and me eating silently. Just then some call arrived and he left the food and went to talk outside. And I waited for him but even after half an hour when he doesn't came I went to call him and he motioned for me to sleep as this might take time and I went up to sleep. After some time ruhan came and lay down beside me.
"Is everything fine ruhan? " I asked him and he told me it's just a new mission.
" I understand that ruhan but since 2-3 days you are neglecting your health also. Just don't lose yourself while working" I told him and he replied that he will take care. I told him about my new semester beginning tomorrow and he said he will drop me to college and I thanked him and he replied that this is his responsibility and no need to say thanks. I slept peacefully after that. When I woke up I turned around to find Ruhan's side already empty. Must have went for jogging I thought and went down to greet him but was welcomed by silence and a slip on table stating that he has to rush because of work and he is sorry he won't be able to drop me and even though I felt hurt but I decided to let it go. I went up to get ready for this new semester. When I thought of new semester my friends faces come to my mind and that was enough to bring me out of my gloomy state and get filled with new excitement to meet my friends after so many days.
