Vows Of Serenity

17.

I realised the feeling while meeting Lasya, I knew that I was eventually going to fall in love with her. Maybe I didn't love her right away and not even, but it's inevitable that I will someday, and I've felt the flower blooming slowly.

"Moksh?", her voice was heavy and she felt exhausted. I could feel her eyeballs rolling through her closed eyes and the ultimate urge to caress them burned in my bones but I controlled it. "Hn?", I answered, blinking my lashes.

"Can you please massage my head? it's like hurting terribly", she sounded tired and her forehead wrinkled with lines. I scooted closer to her, still maintaining enough space between us to not give her the slightest discomfort with our proximity. I gently combed my fingers through her hair and applied pressure, massaging her head.

A few seconds later I saw her facial features releasing and her breathing changed to soft rhythms.
Jadu toh hai mere haathon mein, aur vaise bhi dabane ko toh mai sab kuch daba dunga, yeh toh fir bhi ser hi hai!

[Translation: there's magic in my hands]

Half an hour later when she was in deep slumber, I slowly tried slipping off the bed, ensuring not to disturb her peaceful sleep since she was a light sleeper. She frowned at the withdrawal of my touch and I patted her head like a baby to calm her and adjusted the comforter on her body. Aw! Mera baccha!

[Translation: aww! My baby]

I stepped out of the bed and walked towards the washroom. Getting ready for the day, I stood in front of the mirror admiring myself.
Handsome toh mai bohot hu, hamare bacche agar sunder hue toh apni maa se jyada mujhpe jayenge!

[Translation: I am very handsome, if our children grow up to be beautiful then they will take after me more than their mother.]

When I stepped into the room, I saw Lasya awake sitting on the bed. She rubbed her eyes cutely and then searched for something. Her curious and sleepy hazel eyes finally settled on me standing near the closet door and they relaxed.

She gestured for me to come closer with her hand and with thinned eyebrows I followed her command like a puppy.

Isse ab kya ho gaya hai, aase toh kabhi mujhe khud se paas nhi bulayege, koi chudail toh nhi na chipat kyu hai? Kisine totka toh nhi kar diya ispar?

[Translation: What has happened to her now, she will never call me near herself, she is not bewitched, right, why is she clinging to me? Has anyone done some trick on her?]

Doubtfully I walked towards the bed and stood near the side table on the right side facing her. She looked up at me and blinked slightly, trying to get rid of the sleep.

"Do you have aspirin or something? My head, it's busting", her morning bed voice was huskier, turning me on in every fcking sense something I was going to crave listening to daily.

Honestly, she looked both immensely cute and dangerously fuckable at the same time with her dishevelled hair and sleepy eyes and I knew I wasn't going to have enough of it anymore.

"I do, get freshen up quickly and have your breakfast, then take the medicine", she nodded and attempted to get down from the bed. I helped her get down while holding her wrist and she didn't flinch or get nervous like always, rather she welcomed my help with a small thank you and disappeared in the washroom. Great improvement, I see.

Rummaging through the medicine drawer I finally found the headache medicine hiding under the heap of several other medicines. I read the expiry date and the content written behind the pill pack carefully. I didn't want my wife to get more sick.

After examining the details and keeping the medicine in my pocket I sat on the couch, going through my iPad and passed the time while waiting for her to get ready.
