Chapter 39

Dhriti's POV

I wake up alarmed as I hear some buzz around me. I immediately sit up on the bed as my eyes move around the room with my every sense hyper activated. My hand moves towards Vivaan to wake him up as I feel the weird noise close to me.

I pull my hand back as it caught something moving. I click on the bedside lamp and my body freezes as my eyes caught the sight of a shaking and sweating Vivaan. My eyes widen as the state of panic starts to envelop my body. My eyes catch his lips mumbling something

I lean towards his face with my ear first trying to listen what he was mumbling in his sleep. I hear some jumbled words and frown. I immediately retract back as his warm breath grazed my neck. I should not be feeling things right now rather than I should be helping him

"Vivaan" I called in a slow voice keeping my hand over his slightly shaky ones. He moved his pupil behind his shut lids as if he felt my presence. I licked my lips as my heart beat increased with each breath he takes

"Vivaan" I call out again and caress his hand in a gentle manner as he moves his head a bit before slowly opening his mouth. I don't even know if I should properly wake him up or just lull him into a proper deep sleep

"Dhriti" my ears caught the faintest of whisper that left his mouth and I shifted closer towards him pushing the pillow wall between us behind me. My legs pressed up against his body as his shaking body seemed to calm down a little bit

"Vivaan" I called him again and felt his hand move a bit as he held my palm in his properly in a firm grip. His hand squeezed mine and I moved my thumb over the outline of his palm in soft manner

"Dhriti, it's scary" he said again in a small voice. I felt my heart shatter at his broken voice, his voice sounded just like a lost child. I moved my other hand to his hair gently caressing it in slow pattern intangling them properly in his strands

"It will be fine. I am here" I said in a gentle voice pushing back the hoarseness in my throat trying to rise up. I gently caressing his hair and felt his hand squeeze mine in a tighter grip

"Dhriti" he mumbled again after a while as I kept caressing his hair and his shaking body seemed to relax a bit and his breath was moving in much more silent way now

"I am here" I said assuring him again. His hand held mine in a tight grip as he pulled me a bit towards him. I simply laid down beside him watching his facial expression.

What is scaring this hulk of a man? I kept thinking as my finger kept moving in his head. I heard him release a sigh as he moved a little and I stilled at my place as his hand moved up my arm.

My hand stopped in his hair as his hand slowly travelled up to my elbow and he pulled me closer almost sticking to his side. I heard a disapproving grunt left his mouth as he tried to move his head to reach my hand.

I shook my hand in his hair again massaging his hair in a slow manner. I don't know what's scaring you but I promise to sit with you until the point all of your fear run away. I said in my heart looking at him with a small smile.

I slowly leaned in and pressed a small kiss on his forehead as he sighed in content looking just like a young kid. I smiled and closed my eyes feeling his warmth enveloping my side as I dozed off after a while.
