"Roop. Stop spreading laziness and get off the bed." Amrit scolded, brushing his hair as he looked at her in disappointment.

It had been a week since they came back and Roop had been acting very lazy. It was almost 12 and she went back to sleep after taking a shower earlier, refusing to get out of bed now.

"Aap jaayein na." She replied, trying to shoo him away.
(You just leave.)

"Get up. You need to eat and I have to leave, I've gotten very late." He clapped lightly.

"I want to go back to Auli." She replied, spreading her arms on the bed, "I don't want to move." She sighed tiredly.

"I'll count till three." He warned, moving closer to the bed, "if you didn't get up, I'll carry you downstairs."

"Okay." She agreed, finding nothing bad in his warning, she wouldn't have to walk atleast. Then without counting, he picked her off the bed.

"Stupid girl." He murmured as she wrapped her hands around his neck, kissing his cheek.

"Nah, you just wanted to hold me close, I know." She shrugged, "I read your mind." She added.

"Yeah?"

"Umhmm, you were thinking about joining me in the bed." She nodded, "Weren't you?"

"Yeah, you know what else I was thinking? To join you in bed and kiss you until you are out of breath, until-"

She stopped him by placing the palm of her hand on his mouth, "Subah subah bhagwan ka naam lete hain aur aap?" She shook her head dramatically, "Chalein neeche utaarein mujhe, warna abhi phir dadu se kaan khichwane hai maine aapke." She warned.
(We should take the name of God in the morning and look at you?)((now put me down, otherwise, I'll make Dadu pull your ears again.)

"Jyada nakhre nahi ho rahe aapke?" He asked, not putting her down as she asked him to.
(Aren't you having too many tantrums?)

"Nakhre? Mere? Who woke me up from my peaceful sleep? And who was the one who kept talking my ear off for the last fifteen minutes and oh! Who kidnapped me from my bed? Not me, for sure!" She replied dramatically.
(Tantrums? Me?)

"Okay, I'll drop you back to your bed and leave, good?" He asked.

"Ab yahan tak le aayein hain to wapas jaa kar kya karna?" She shook her head, "Aapko double mehnat karni padegi, abhi 2 minute me to paseena choot raha hai aapka, neeche chalein." She added.
(We have come this far, then what is the use of going back?)(You will have to work double and you are already sweating in just 2 minutes, let's go downstairs)

He shook his head, "Open the door." She did like he said, "and stop trying to tickle me, we both will end up in a very bad fall."

She didn't try to tickle him after that, taking his words seriously.

Finding no one in the hall except for a maid sweeping the floor, he made her sit on a chair before plating her breakfast, "Now finish everything, I'm going to leave." He told her.

"Sunein?"
(Listen)

"Sunayein."
(Yes?)

"Jaldi wapas aana."
(Come back earlier)

"You want to go somewhere?" He asked.

"Nahi toh." She shook her head.
(No.)

"Then?"

"Aise hi, mann kia." She shrugged.
(just like that, I just wanted to say it.)
