Ishita wakes up seeing Raman sleeping peacefully next to her.
She sits up in a shock wondering how he slept beside her.
She notices the peaceful look on his face as a small smile appears on her lips.
If this situation had occurred during the initial days of their marriage, she would've probably killed him or atleast tortured him with her lectures for sleeping next to her.
But at the present moment, she knew she should have been angry at him but she couldn't understand why she wasn't actually angry but more awkwardly shy seeing him beside her.
He stirred in his sleep and kept his hand over hers. She tried to free herself from his hold only to find his grip tighten over her hand.
She let out a sigh and smiled shaking her head.
Ye ravan kumar neend me bhi peecha nahi chodta! She muttered to herself while blushing seeing his hand holding hers.
She saw the sunny rays falling over his face through the window making his fair skin glow even more.
He was tossing in his sleep due to the light rays as she immediately bent over him to block the sun rays falling over him.
He opened his eyes gently to only see himself guarded by his angelic wife from the sun rays while his hand was still holding onto hers.
She quickly moved away from him seeing that he was awake, trying hard to hide her blush.
But he was quick to notice her blush as well as her sweet gesture.
He let go of his hold on her hand as they both sat up, trying not to face each other feeling awkward.
After a few minutes of silence, he was the first one to speak up. He cleared his throat and tried to appear casual as he said "woh...couch pe... I mean mera back pain... isliye..." he was too lost in her to form a logical sentence as she looked on at him and then looked away trying to hide her smile.
He saw her smile a little and relaxed a bit that she didn't overreact or mistook his intention.
He smiled at her and said "thank you".
Surprised at that, ishita asked for what?.
He looked down for a moment, scratching his forhead in nervousness as he always does, then he looked at her with a smile saying
"firstly, for not misunderstanding me for sleeping next to you. Secondly, for being my protector as always. Be it protecting my social status or business or be it protecting me from the sun rays."
Ishita stared into his eyes deeply as a blush appeared on her face. She looked away at anywhere in the room but him.
He caught her blushing and knew that it's his effect on her. He too smiled shyly looking away wondering how can a woman like her not be loved by anyone.
Ishita looked at him wondering how soft and loving person he is from inside. How can anyone hurt his soft heart.
Raman noticed her eyes on him as he snapped at her saying "ab tumhari subah hogayi ho to uthke kuch kaam vaam bhi karogi ya aise hi mannequin ki tarah haste hue yahin baithi rahogi?"
Ishita pouted cutely at him getting up and mumbling to herself but loud enough to be heard by Raman "aiyoo murugan! aapke sade hue oneliners se hi meri subah shuru honi thi! "
He replied "haan! Jaise tumhari sadi hui shakal dekhke meri subah shuru hui hai! Ab god se complain karna hogaya to apna haath do aur mujhe uthao."
Ishita helpled him get up when he almost tripped over the blanket, hugging ishita in the process to regain his balance while ishita too held onto him tightly to prevent his fall.
As they regained their balance, they stepped away only to find ishita's long chain stuck in his shirt button which made them come closer into an almost hug once again.
They seemed to be lost in each others eyes untill they heard toshiji's voice from living room calling out for ishita to prepare breakfast.
Raman freed the chain stuck in his shirt button as ishita lowered her eyes shyly. They could feel each other's breath as much as they could hear their hearts beating in synchronization.
She quickly moved towards the living room while telling Raman "aap fresh hoke aajao main breakfast ready karti hoon. Aur carpenter ko bhi buladungi wo aapke waapis aane tak theek kardega bed. Don't worry aapko aaj raat ache se neend ayegi."
As he saw her leave the room, he smiled to himself saying "abhi jo hua, uske baad to mujhe neend ayegi hi nahi! Tumhare paas hone se kyun meri saansein tez hoti hai? Kya hai ye naya naya sa ehsaas?"
He looks at himself in the mirror and says "jo bhi hai, acha hai...pyaara hai!" Saying so, he walked off the room.
