When I woke up I was in our room.
"Did I sleep that deeply?" My thoughts were interrupted by him.
"Yeah! Like a log" He said rummaging the closet.
"Did I speak loudly?"
"Yeah! Even now" He laughed turning towards me.
"Whatever! Are you leaving somewhere?" I asked.
"Not me but we, go get ready we are going to the temple, it's 4: 30 now I expect you to be before 5:30! okay?" He said it was more like an order.
Care to ask my opinion, no! straight away commanding only.
"Yes! sir" I said dramatically in a stiff tone.
He chuckled and went down!
Then we went to the temple in his Royal Enfield.
After praying we sat on the steps of the lotus lake in the temple.
I know this is the perfect time to confront him.
He kept on speaking, he is different from the yuvi I've seen months before.
"Yuvi!"
"Yes!"
"Did you have any nightmares?" The color drained out from his face as soon as he heard.
He didn't answer.
"I know you had" I stated, he turned to me.
"I don't want to talk about this here," He said without looking into my eyes.
"Okay! But it is not yet over, we are starting it once we reach home" I said, he just nodded, the ride back home was filled with an edgy silence.
Once we reached I directly went to the living and sat on the couch.
He after placing the key came and laid on the couch placing his head in my lap.
It was an awkward silence filled with fear, depression, and all negative emotions.
But I will clear it now.
"Yuvi, are you afraid?" He cut me off.
"Afraid of losing, I am afraid of losing you, I want you for my whole life, others will love me but will not live for me.
I don't know when but, you made me dependent on you, I can't live without you because I'm addicted to you, habituated with you, My life includes you, You are a part of my life now. I may have all relationships and many people in my life but, A wife, my wife is MY WIFE no one can replace or avatar the role of my wife. No one can!
All have their limits in my life, even my dad and mom but my wife doesn't have them because it is Our Life!"
When he finished his words, I let out a sob.
He sat up and hugged me.
"I want to protect you, protect you for myself, but I am afraid that I wouldn't be able to"
I made him lay again, I started stroking his hair.
"Yuvi! I know you love me so much, and I may not show but I'm dependent on as much as you are on me. But this life has more, Please don't get scared. yeah! I'm a Police officer but it is not like that my life is always at stake, there will be situations but I'm sure I will overcome that but! Now I'm scared.
Scared of your fright! Remember one thing, You are my confidence, my support, my hope, the reason for me to come back, you are my energy and anything that's gonna make me win.
But there something which makes me weak and gonna be a barrier in my path. That is your fear and weakness.
Even if I stand at the edge of my life, you should not get scared. Your fear is a slow poison to me.
Whenever you get scared remember this,
The more you are afraid the more I am in danger. A single drop of tear from your eyes is like poisoning me.
Everyone in the department does not die, so always have a positive thought, just hope for good the remaining is in God's hand.
I want you as my strength, not as my weakness."
When I finished he was smiling at me.
"What! I finished such an emotional sequence, see how you are smiling, idiot!!" I tried to ease the situation.
He sat up and pecked my forehead.
"I will always be your strength, I was a little scared but I will learn to be strong and it's just for you!" He said and hugged.
Then the situation got eased.
He was in the kitchen down cooking for me. Here I am packing our clothes.
Yeah! Uncle and aunt are returning the day after tomorrow...
Yuvi's phone started to ring.
The screen displayed Karthick's number,
Why is he calling yuvi.
Oh! My god, I forgot to switch on the phone.
I attended the call.
"Hello! Karthick"
"Is everything okay Pari"
"Sorry! Bro, I forgot to switch on" I said mentally scolding myself.
"You bloody buffalo! Don't you have anything called sense? Do you have something called the brain?" He barked at me on the phone.
"No, I don't have one! Why are you asking? you gonna get me a new brain" I was just playing with his cool.
"No, I'm not going to. I will go bankrupt if I do, even try to find a brain that fits in your bone box. So better ask your husband, he has more money than me" He mocked again.
"Okay! Don't beat around the bush, come to the matter"
"Shit! Because of you, I forgot for what I came for" He would've facepalmed himself.
This is how I make him mad.
"Pari! We are on a mission" he said.
