In A Heartbeat

11.

I woke up at 5:30, three hours from work, and saw Ruu all snuggled up with me.

Damn she is making it hard for me. Both physically and literally.

She looked so cute, lips in a pout, cheeks puffed up and snoring lightly. I lightly kissed her cheeks.

She moved a bit, placed her head on my shoulder and slowly opened her eyes.

"Good morning " she said in a sleepy voice.

"Morning " I said, my voice gruff.

I tried to get up to freshen up and make breakfast but her held me tightly.

" Nooo. Don't go. You are so warm. You'll take all the warmth away from me leaving me like a frozen Popsicle. And still there is 1 hour for the alarm to go off. So sleep. "

"I didn't know that someone was so desperate to cuddle with me. "

"Not for you, but for your warmth. "

"Yeah, yeah. Same thing. "

"Now come back here. "

I once again got into the blanket and cuddled with her.
Everything with her felt serene and peaceful, even here laying with her and doing nothing.

I woke up once again at 6:45 and felt her sleeping all over me sandwiching me between her and the bed.
I carefully placed her on the mattress and got up without waking her up and went to the kitchen to get the breakfast ready.

Till the time the breakfast was ready, I got back to the room to wake her up.

" Arya wake up. See it's 7:30. You'll be late if you don't wake up. Come on get up. "

" Hmmm..... Wait what. It's 7:30 already. Oh god. Shitt. "

She threw the duvet to the other side while saying and hurried to the bathroom.
Without taking her clothes.......

So like a good husband I am I decided to take out her clothes and laid it on the bed and went outside closing the door of the bathroom.

Man I was so late. I was in such a hurry that I forgot to take my clothes along with me.
Damn.....

So after the shower I opened the door, peeked out to see whether he was there but I didn't find him there. A little, very little part of me was disappointed to see that he wasn't there.

When I got in the room, I saw the outfit placed on the bed along with my inner wears.  *blushes*

I quickly wore the clothes and just as I was going outside , I saw the clock and saw that it was only 7 am...
Gayā māṭē yē. ( He is so gone.)

As I entered the living room, I saw him arranging the breakfast on the table. He turned around and gave me a smile and in turn, I glared at him. He smiled again sheepishly.

"Why did you wake me up so early. I still have an hour to pass. What will I do now huh. " I told him.

"Uhh.. I thought that you'll be late if you kept sleeping like a lemur. So I had no choice but to speak less truth. " he explained it like it is the most usual thing in the world

"Less truth. " I raised an eyebrow.

"Well..  Uh yes, less truth but not a complete lie. " he passed me a huge smile, making me laugh.

"Tuṁ ēkadama gandu chē."
(you are so stupid)

"Are you abusing me in Gujarati? " he asked dumbfounded.

"No.. Stupid. "

" And now you are calling me stupid. You know you should not talk to your husband like that. "

"No, it means stupid. " I said again laughing.

While I was laughing, his face looks sullen. Looks like someone is a little sensitive.

I went towards him and took his face in my palms
"Why did you become sad. I was just kidding alright. No need to get upset. It's normal between a couple and it's healthy for our relationship. " And then I kissed both his cheeks.

This made him smile. Cheeky little man. Well not little

"Well if you make up like this to me, I need to get more upset. "

"Not funny, okay. Now let's eat the breakfast otherwise it'll be cold. Come. "

We ate the breakfast. He even packed luch for me.

Today it was my turn to drive. As we approached the car, I quickly went towards the passenger door and said
"Arya Gupta as your service sir. "
To make it more dramatic, I even stompled my foot which made him laugh.

A laugh which is to die for. And which makes my entire day.
A laugh which makes his eyes crinkled and his dimples stand out.
A laugh which I love and will still love even when he'll have no teeth.

We both entered the car, buckled up and made our way towards our destination...

It's been so long since I updated. I had a super busy week so there was no time to write.. Sorryy.....
