I sensed her gaze, as she thought of something and blushing while standing up and pushing me away slightly, I saw her slowly making her steps towards the bed laying,

An chuckle leaves my lips, knowing what she was thinking about and turning off the lights, I also made my steps towards my side of bed and laid,
Pulling her closer, while wrapping my hands around her waist, I kept my head on crook of her neck,

The same warmth, The same touches, The same closeness felt differently soothing today, Snuggling my face deeper, I took an glance of her face
Eyes held tiredness while cheeks were crimson red, Breaking the eye contact, when my eyes gaze fell into hers, she looked away
Chuckling slightly at her, I pulled myself up to place an peck of her cheek,
Making her look at me, by placing my palm over her other cheek, I pulled her closer, Putting her head on my chest

"Subh ratri" I mumbled, closing my eyes, I felt her hairs tickling on my neck, when she nodded her head, and soon, the tiredness of whole day took over both of us and we drifted to sleep

Author POV
Night, 1 am
Abhiraj's eyes fluttered softly, when he heard small whimpers, Taking an deep breath, while patting his hand over nandini's figure in his sleep,
He again tried to sleep, but the small whimpers continuously ringed in his ears, as his eyebrows knitted and opening his eyes slowly, He rested himself on his elbow and looked at nandini

Wrapped in the blanket whole, while her forehead peeking out little, an smile forms on abhiraj's lips looking at her
Coming closer, he patted her head before placing an kiss on her forehead
But
The instance his lips came in contact with her forehead skin, He felt the burning hot sensations

Opening his eyes more, He looked at her being awake now,
"Nandu?" He called out, voice as soft as feather, while pulling the blanket little lower
Holding onto the blanket tightly, Nandini let out an small whimper again

Being wide awake, he sat on the bed, Pulling the blanket off slightly forcibly as nandini was holding on it tightly, He touched her forehead with the back of his hand
Pulling his hand back when he felt the burning hot feeling of her skin, His eyes widened a little

"Inhe toh kaafi tej bhukhar hai" He mumbled to himself, before touching her cheeks again,

Snaking his hand under her head, He tapped on her cheeks slowly, "Nandu?" He again called out her name

Earning an small painful whimper from her as an reply, he made her lay straight on her back, Pulling the blanket over her

Quickly getting off the bed, he walked towards the cupboard and taking out an cotton dupatta of nandini, He teared her dupatta in half and folded it

Walking inside the bathroom, He filled the mug with the water and walked back towards her

Sitting beside her, Abhiraj dipped the cotton dupatta in the water and  wringing out the cloth, He folded it before placing it on her head silently

Being as silent as he could, he looked at her face, The tiredness of her face was still visible, Admiring her face with concern, He waited for few moments before flipping the cloth

Abhiraj's eyes wide opened, when he saw nandini opening her eyes in between, Taking an deep breath, while turning her head towards him, She let out an small whimper

"Abhiraj ji" she called out, Her voice barely audible for him,
Quickly sitting up straight, Abhiraj hummed in response to let her know he was here,
"Abhiraj ji, sir dukh Raha hai" Her tired voice let's out , as she again closes her eyes and tilts her head towards the other side
Her chest doing ups and downs, with her each deep breath

Looking at her with concern in his eyes, He snaked his hand under her head, Pulling her head over his laps softly, Abhiraj put the cloth aside

Looking at her face, when her shaky breath fanned on his palm, Abhiraj's gaze fills with softness
Ruffling her hairs, while brushing his fingers in her hair knots softly, Abhiraj placed his palm over her head, before pressing there
