"The chef's special pasta here is the best", Abhi tells me so we end up ordering that. 

"What are your thoughts on making our relationship public. Like I want everyone to know that you are mine and I'm yours", hen says looking straight at me. 

"Abhi, I don't care if anyone knows or doesn't, that does not define our relationship", I tell him truthfully. 

"You are right but sometimes I feel like we are hiding something for no reason."

"I trust you in whatever you want to do"

"Lets just go with the flow", he says putting his arm around me and I lean into him. 

 We spend the rest of the evening talking and laughing and before we realized it was time for Abhi to leave. We reached home and Abhi went up to take his bag. He comes down and kisses Reyansh who is busy watching some cartoon on the TV. 

"Bye, don't miss me too much", Abhi says kissing my forehead and then walks out of the door. I turn around to go inside when I hear Abhi calling me. He walks back towards me and I look at him quizzically. 

He snakes his arm around my waist and kisses me. "Take care of yourself ,for me", he says and I just nod. 

"Call me when you reach there"

"I will. I love you", he says kissing me again. 

"I love you, now aren't you getting late?", he nods and gets in the car. I watch the car till it leaves the gate and then go back inside. 

I lift Reyansh up and take him to his room. "Looks like its just you and me for a few days", I tell him and he just yawns sleepily, snuggling into me. He falls asleep soon and I to decide to call it a  day. I lie down on the bed and close my eyes trying to sleep but I can't. In these few months I have become so used to Abhi that I can't even sleep without him now. I miss his warmth and musky scent. 

I know its really stupid but I go to our closet and pick out a plane white t-shirt of Abhi's and put it on. His scent immediately envelops me and its like he's almost here. Almost. I fall asleep soon after when all the days events finally catch up and I'm too tired to stay up anymore.

********

I get up early next morning decide to cook because I have nothing better to do. My first appointment is only at 11 and its just 6am now so I have plenty of time. I get started on breakfast and half way through it, I hear Reyansh cry. I go upstairs to him room and find him kneeling on the cot holding the handle bars ,crying. Aw, my baby. I lift him up and rock him in my arms cooing over him. He stops crying eventually. 

Since the weather is pleasant today, I take Reyansh to the garden outside. He is completely captivated by the flowers and plants. I put him down for sometime and he's busy looking at the flowers. 

My phone starts ringing and I look at the screen to see Abhi's name. I pick it up immediately.

"Hello", he says.

"Hi", I breathe out.

"I miss you so much already, you are definitely coming with me next time", he says.

"Yeah I- hold on for a second", "Reyansh no, come here", I run behind him when I see him crawling towards a patch of mud. I pick him up and put him on my lap. I hear Abhi chuckling through the phone. "Why are you laughing?"

"Nothing. Is Reyansh troubling you?"

"No, he's just to energetic this morning", I say and I mean it. Reyansh has not been able to sit still from the moment he has gotten up.

" I wish I was there, with you and Reyansh", Abhi says suddenly.

"Really? I bet you have a photo of me tucked in a drawer that you stare at when I'm not around", I joke.

"Ho-how do you know that", he stutters sounding embarrassed. 

"Wait, I was kidding. Do you actually do that?", I ask genuinely shocked.

"What, no. Not at all. And even if I did its not like that's weird or anything", he says quickly.

"Sure", I hum in reply.

"I have to go now but I'll call you later?"

"Hmm, I wish you were here to", I say just before he disconnects the phone.

Sarla aunty comes and takes Reyansh to get him changed. I to get ready and go to the hospital. 

*********

It was a busy day today and before I even know it its 7pm and I am at home. I tried calling Abhi once a while ago but his phone was switched off which is weird but I dismissed those thoughts. I went up to our room and took a shower. 

I step out of the closet wearing my night suit and see someone, a man to be precise enter the room. Did someone break in? On instinct I grab a the nearest thing next to me which is a hair brush. I slowly make my way towards that person. The moment I come close enough, he turns to face me, I scream and throw the hairbrush at him. 

"God, Meera. Did you seriously plan to attack me with a hair brush?", Abhi says. Wait a minute Abhi? I open my eyes which I dint realize were closed all this time. Am I dreaming or is her really here?

"You are not dreaming?", Abhi replies chuckling. How does he know what I'm thinking? Did I say that out loud?

"Yes, you did say that a loud", he says again and I just blink.

"Are you seriously here?"

"Yes", he says chuckling. "Although I did expect a better we-", I fling my arms around him before he can finish his sentence. He catches me and twirls me around before putting me down.

"What made you come home so early?", I ask, our faces centimeters apart. He pulls me closer and says,

"I had to fulfil someone's wish". It takes a moment for me to realize what he's talking about, and for the record, I wish you were here to. I said that to him this morning. I press my lips against his. 

"You're absolutely crazy", I say against his lips.

"Only for you", he says in between kisses. 

"No, but seriously you should have at least have completed your work"

"Don't worry about that, I have people who can handle it. Actually I'm glad you said that , that was breaking point. You have no idea how badly I wanted to tell the pilot to turn around"

"You cant give me every silly thing I ask for", this man is seriously going to spoil me.

"I can and I will. You deserve to be spoiled and I am going to do just that. Its better you accept it because you deserve the world". He says all this with so much sincerity that I don't even know how to react. 

"You must be tired and jet lagged or sleepy. You should rest"

"I have never been more awake", he says staring intently into my eyes. His lips collide with mine and somehow we end up on the bed with him on top of me me. I can feel his boner poking me in the stomach. I need him badly, I want him. I hastily help him remove his jacket and tie and begin to unbutton his shirt. 

"Meera, what are you doing", he groans.

"I want you", I tell him and his eyes widen. 

"Are you sure?", he asks and I nod. "Use your words love"

"Yes", I breathe out and that's all the encouragement he needs.
