Four months
Ragini had just put Ranbir and Nishi to bed she was tired it had been a long day she went into the kitchen to clean up and get the twins milk ready. She was washing up when he mind wandered back to when nachiket would try to help her clean but would just end up distracting her with those slow sensual kisses and his passion filled eyes that would just burn a hole in her when ever he looked at her she was jolted out of her thoughts by aagham crying. She picked up the milk bottles and went into the bedroom.
Bedroom.
She picked aagham up and kissed and him and sat down on the bed rocking him she picked up the milk to feed him and then slowly rocked him to sleep then it was aaravs turn to have his milk. When she finished she looked at the time it was 10pm he had not rung today at all usually he would ring early in the morning and speak to the kids and then ring back later in the evening to speak to Ragini but today nothing. She sat down on the bed she had told him to go but that did not make being away from him any easier how she missed him all she wanted was to be in his arms no matter how tired she was or how worried him holding her and placing soft kisses on her neck and cheeks would make everything disappear she sighed she was just about to get up when the phone rang she picked it up. "Hi sweethart" "Nachiket" "Ragini you ok how are the kids" "i am fine and the kids are fine" "i am sorry i have not rung today i was stuck in a surgery and just got out now" "its ok nachiket" "the kids?" "They are asleep" "ragini i will ring u tomorrow morning first thing i have to go kiss the kids for me and i love you" "i love you too" he hung up "and i miss you" she said staring at the phone.
