' Noooo papaaaaa noooooo don't leave me please ' Mishka shouted and opened her eyes .Her eyes are puffy .
Aarav got up from the cough with jerk and came near . Mishka was breathing unevenly . Her forehead is covered with sweats . She again had the same nightmare . Aarav rubbed her back ' What happened Mishka ?'
Mishka immediately hugged him . She was hugging him like her life depends on him. Aarav also hugged her back .
' Mishka calm down .' he caressed her hair .
' Aarav Papa is fine na ? He is fine .' Mishka's voice was cracking .
' Yes yes he is fine . Uncle is fine .' Aarav said rubbing her back .
He didn't broke the hug until she calmed down . He was caressing her hair .
Aarav said ' Listen Mishka it just a bad dream . I promised you na that Uncle will be fine soon . You don't believe me ? '
Mishka ' No Aarav I believe you . And he will be fine ' . She sounded like a baby .
This made a small smile on Aarav's face .
Aarav ' Keep faith on me . Now sleep you have college also .'
She drank the water . He tucked her in the bed . Then he caressed her hairs . When he felt that she was slept he was about to move .
Mishka ' Don't go please .' She stopped him by catching his hand .
Aarav became shocked ' Mishka I am here . I am sleeping on the cough only . '
Mishka said slowly ' Ummm can you please sleep beside me ? I am .... '
Aarav nodded his head in yes . He went to the cough took his pillow and settled beside her .
For the first time they are sleeping together after 6 months of their marriage .
Aarav came near her . He again started caressing her hair .
After sometimes she dozed off . Aarav kissed her forehead and said ' Everything will be fine my little wife .' He also slept .
