Married to him

Chapter 26 - A step Ahead

Chapter 26

He silently slipped beside her and closed his eyes when he felt a pair of hands, tighten around his tummy.

His eyes widened to see Priya very close to him, hugging him as if he was her Favourite teddy.

He tried getting out of the grip but she was snuggling even more closer. He turned to try moving out, but ended up having Priya's head in his chest.

She snuggled closer to him wrapping her hands more into his broad chest, taking all of him in her small arms.

"Priya ..." He called to find out if she was awake. There was no response but as be angled her head to see her face, he could find a serene and a Satisfactory smile on her face.

There were also stains of tears. He slowly wiped it off with his thumb pads.

Then, he slightly pecked her forehead and allowed her to sleep, mentally reminding himself to wake up first as he didn't know how she would react when she found them like this the next morning.

As he closed his eyes, "I am scared of sleeping alone...." Her voice enthralled into his senses and then his thoughts lingered upon her childhood trauma and imagining how much she has constrained herself by sleeping alone in Kapoor mansion.

He remembered how she would say she would sleep by Shipra ji because she used to get nightmares and how she had denied many trips because of that and even if she had gone to trips, she had never left Neha to sleep in a seperate room.

"Have I been selfish?" He thought as he caressed her hairs. "How did I even forget she's scared of being alone and I left her just like that?"

He thought on how he left her uninformed on where he was when she was literally restless worrying about him.

"It was my fault and she had to go through all the shits. She suffered because of me. Meine galthi ki and she took the punishment for me" he thought as he saw her sleeping so cutely with a happy face

"Sorry Priya" he said as he put his arms around her, encircling her into him.

"I really love you" he whispered and pecked again softly.

"I would never let anything harm you darling" he said brushing her hairs slightly with his nose, inhaling her scent.

After few minutes, he slowly drifted to sleep.

The next morning, Ram woke up first and silently slipped off from Priya, giving her a kiss on her cheeks and wishing her a good morning, of course which she never heard.

He felt very happy all of a sudden. He felt Something like a newly married groom, he was one of course but today he felt like his married life was a bliss.

Waking up to her beside him, and giving her a morning kiss, were some of the things he had wished for. "Kaash she also responds" he thought nodding his head in negation, and blushing.

And suddenly when he thought of kiss, his mind snapped at him "Does she like being kissed without brushing?" And the next minute he was found blushing and scolding his mind for the strange thoughts it sent to him. He moved towards the restroom to freshen up.

After few minutes, as he came freshened up, he saw priya still asleep.

"Priya.... Uto!" He called out to her while she opened her eyes lazily to see him stand ready with his T shirt and pant.

Her eyes gaped seeing him so handsome with a light lemon yellow t-shirt and a dark black casual pant.

Seeing her gape at him, he smiled slightly, getting his fingers near her face , he clicked it, snapping her out of her gaze.
