Late Night

Kartik and Naira are seen sleeping on the bed peacefully, on the two opposite sides of the bed their back facing each other and a pillow wall separating them. The AC was running at below 20 Celsius, the room had become unbearably cool for Naira and she was shivering with cold in half sleep, snuggling the blanket close to her chest. Her legs were almost numb with cold under the blanket because she wasn't habituated with sleeping in the AC at such a low temperature and she hugged herself in sleep to find some warmth.

She tossed to Kartik's side in sleep due to discomfort but was stopped by the pillow wall. Just then, Kartik turned towards her in sleep and engulfed his arms around her body pulling her close to himself and hugging her tightly thus providing her the required warmth. Naira too placed her head on his chest feeling comfortable at last and snuggled more into him thus finally getting some peaceful and much needed sleep.

In the morning, both of them were sleeping in exact same position in each other's embrace that Naira's sleep broke first at her usual waking up time. She opened her drowsy eyes slowly to find herself sleeping on something hard yet comfortable. She raised her head and saw Kartik sleeping peacefully with his arms wrapped around her. She realised she had fallen asleep on her husband's embrace last night....but how? she thought. She looked at the broken pillow wall that separated them and then it struck to her that she might have tossed to his side in sleep and thus they ended up being like this. She turned to Kartik and saw him sleeping in deep and peaceful slumber, how protectively he had held her in his arms! She smiled a little at him and adored his sleeping face for sometime, running her fingers gently through his hair and looking at his face with so much love as she remembered the old times, the old him taking no notice of the time and literally forgetting the whole world.....she was so much lost in him, he was the first and last guy who could do this magic on her, he was the first and last guy she ever loved!

Just then Kartik's alarm beeped startling Naira and thus bringing her out of her trance. Naira noticed Kartik's sleep getting disturbed and he was about to wake up that Naira moved away from him instantly to avoid further misunderstandings. She got down the bed and picking her saree from the closet, she rushed inside the bathroom. There Kartik felt a light load lifting from his body and the sound of bare footsteps around his bedroom woke him up from his deep slumber and he sat on the bed, stretching his arms and yawning....he had a good and comfortable sleep finally after almost a week. Completely clueless about what had happened, he turned towards Naira's side of the bed but she wasn't there. He heard the sound of shower coming from the bathroom....so sighing, he got down the bed and wearing his track suit, he went to out to jog and exercise.

Naira had just finished the aarti and giving prasad to the elders that Shubham returned from the gym and walked up to her.

Shubham(taking the laddoo from her): Good morning Bhabhi...

Naira(smiling): Good morning devar ji....kya baat hai? Itni subah subah gym se hoke aa rhe ho?!

Shubham(taking a bite of the laddoo): Gym is a part of life Bhabhi....aaj kal bodybuilding se hi ladkiyan pat ti hain....ab dekho meri body bhi acchi khasi hai aur dil ka bhi shareef hu...aapko toh araam se devrani mil jayegi, don't worry!

Naira:(chuckling)accha ji?! Accha Pehle ye batao....mene notice kiya hai ki tum raat raat bhar jagke kisi se baat karte ho...kon hai woh?(smirks at him)
