The warm glow of the bedside lamp bathed the room in a golden hue as Myra sat cross-legged on the bed, a book resting on her lap. The faint sound of the city beyond their window provided a soothing background hum. Her eyes flicked up from the pages every now and then, waiting for the familiar creak of the front door that signaled Ruhaan's return.

Finally, the sound came, followed by the soft rustle of footsteps. A small smile tugged at her lips as Ruhaan entered the room. His broad shoulders slumped with exhaustion, eyes searching until they landed on her. Without a word, he removed his coat, tossed it over a chair, and followed it with his vest and tie. Unbuttoning the top two buttons of his shirt, he walked over to her, the tension in his body easing with each step.

Ruhaan knelt by the side of the bed and laid his head on Myra's lap, closing his eyes as her gentle fingers found their way into his hair. She caressed him tenderly, the scent of his cologne mingling with the warmth between them.

"Aap har raat meri bahon mein sote hain kyun?" she asked softly, her voice barely louder than a whisper. The question hung in the air, delicate and full of unspoken emotions.

He breathed deeply, savoring the moment before replying, his eyes still closed. "Mujhe yaha sukoon milta, jo shayad kahi aur nahi mil sakta," he said, his voice deep and laced with weariness.

Myra's heart swelled as she continued to stroke his hair, the book forgotten beside her. In that quiet space, surrounded by the stillness of the night, they found their own little world-a place where words were scarce but love spoke volumes.
