Thank you for your lovely votes and comments on the previous chapter❤

Sonal's POV:

"Sona...are you ok??" I heard him again and I pressed my palm against my mouth to stifle the sob.

Words were stuck in my throat as if they decided not to reach my mouth. I couldn't control my tears and declined the call. I knew what's going to happen next so immediately I rushed to the washroom and splashed water on my face to make sure that tears stains on my cheeks disappeared. During this process, I heard a knock on the door as expected...I knew who it was

Wiping my face I came out of the washroom....before opening the door I took a deep breath to calm myself down and then opened the door and saw Aarav with his nervous face... messy hairs and tensed eyes. He was on a call...not to mention with whom he was talking.

"Bhabhi are you fine??" He asked in his anxious voice gently placing his palm over my cheek...for which I simply nodded a yes.

"Bhabhi is fine...you relax Bhai" I heard him talking on the phone and further he continued "Ha pakka she is fine...trust me...I am there with her...you relax please...Ill call you later" saying this he cut the call.

He looked at me and raised his brows asking what was wrong with me...I couldn't meet his gaze as already tears started emerging out of my eyes so I bowed my head down and nodded a no.

Aarav took a step forward and encircling his arms around me he embraced me into his brotherly hug caressing my hairs. In a reflex action, my head moved to his shoulder and sobbed.

"Sshh...bhabhi...everything will be alright...stop crying" he consoled me caressing my hairs.

I pulled out myself from his embrace and wiped my tears with the back of my hands. He held me by my shoulders and we walked towards the bed. He made me sit on the bed. Poured a glass of water from the jar on the table and extended the glass to me.

"Have some...you need it bhabhi"

I gulped the water while he kneeled on the floor.

"Feeling better??" Taking the glass from my hands he asked

I nodded wiping the water on my lips

"You scared us to death Bhabhi"

"I am sorry" I apologized in a weak voice

"You almost gave a mini heart attack to Bhai...you know how much he was scared"

I didn't respond to his words...rather I was not in the state to talk...he held my hands in his and explained

"Bhabhi...I know you are missing him and even Bhai also

" No he is not at all missing me...he is happy and busy with his work... he doesn't care about me...neither he called nor texted a message to me..and why would he do that Aaru...I am no one to him...my existence doesn't matter to him...he doesn't love me" all my frustration emerged in my words.

"Bhabhi...calm down...and listen to me.. it's not like I am speaking in his support n all....everything we see around us or whatever happens around us is not the complete truth...and regarding your doubt whether he is missing you or not...all I can say is you think on your own what he is doing at this time..its almost early morning 4...nobody works at this time....and he picked up your call within one single ring...and one last thing bhabhi...his love is"

"always hidden" I completed his words.

He smiled at me and stood up "You should sleep now"

I nodded and laid on the bed. Aarav covered me with the bedsheet and caressing my head he said "Bhai will be back to you very soon"

I smiled at him and he left. I tried to get back to sleep but my handsome hunk was successful in ruining my sleep.

What was he doing?? Why didn't he sleep?? He picked up my call within a single ring...was he missing me?? Then why didn't he call me?? The chain of questions ran in my mind.

"His love is always hidden" my heart answered me for all those questions.

Author's POV:

Arjun was getting mad over the sudden call from her. Though he got the information about Sona...he wanted to confirm.. He wanted to hear from her that she is fine. Sona was about to close her eyes but then she  heard  the phone ringing and it was Arjun.

Without any delay sona picked up the call

"Arjun"

"Sona"

Both of them spoke at a time.

"Are you OK??" Again same words came out of their mouths at the same time.

And then both of them couldn't control themselves and poured their heart out in the form of tears. Both of them were shedding silent tears. Sometimes we stay silent because no words can explain what's going in our heart...no words can express our pain.

No words were exchanged ...it was an exchange of love  and pain. Don't know when the call got disconnected and eyes got closed.

Two hearts
Long awaited phone call
Wet eyes
Neither of them spoke
They got their answers in each other's tears...in each other's silence❤

Sonal's POV:

I was on the way back home. It was a busy day with lots of patients at work. Initially, I had no mood of getting back home...But suddenly my heart began giving me the strong positive sense that something good is going to happen today.... I finished my work as early as possible and left for home.

When I reached home directly I rushed to our room. My heart was thumping so fast as if  it was excited about something. I held the doorknob...closed my eyes...took a deep breath and opened the door.

Slowly I opened my eyes hoping to see the view for which my heart and eyes craved. The moment my eyes caught the sight...it shined like a full moon and stars...my lips curved up to a 360° smile...my face sparkled with slight tears on my cheeks.

My handsome hunk was sleeping on the bed with a cute pout on his lips. But I had to confirm whether this is real or just a dream like yesterday. So I pinched myself to confirm and hissed getting the confirmation that the sleeping figure in front of me is real...

"Jao Sona...vo asli hi hai" my inner voice commented

Wiping my tears I walked to the bed and sat  next to him folding my legs backward.

I moved my fingers through his silky hairs...leaning to his beardo face I pressed my lips gently to his forehead and whispered.

"I missed you so much my Angry Bird"

Placing my head on my palm and resting the elbow on the bed I scoffed

"but Why do I always find you in a deep peaceful sleep whenever I confess my feelings Mr. Cutie??"

My sleeping baby has always been the most beautiful sight to my eyes to adore. His hairs making a random pattern on his forehead and his pink pouty lips. My fingers never left his soft hairs...I loved the feeling of my fingers caressing his hairs.

Everyone must have heard about the sleeping beauty...but mine was the sleeping Prince Charming.

"You know what...you are the male version of sleeping beauty...you look too adorable when you sleep...adorable more than a newborn baby...you are my baby...my sleeping Prince Charming" and placed a soft kiss on his cheek.

"I know you didn't miss me...and even if you miss me you won't confess it...I am damn angry on you Arjun...and you know the reason very well" I taunted the sleeping baby with a pout on my lips.

"Get ready to face my anger...From now onwards...no no...not now...from tomorrow onwards I won't talk to you ok...and also I won't come near you...I will maintain a safe distance from you...I will be going awa

Before I could finish my warning ...he turned sideways facing me and snaked his hand around my waist but his eyes were closed. He did it in his sleep. Such a heavy sleeper he is.

"Acha Ji...so you don't want me to go away from you  ha"

Lowering my body and stretching legs... I rested next to him  pulling his  hand more to my waist  and placed my hand over his...and cuddling myself into him I confessed

"Even I don't to be away from you...not even a single second"

Now our body and faces were a mere inches away...such that our hot breath on faces got mixed with each other's breath...the lubdub of our heartbeat together  making a fresh melody which felt like a lullaby to my ears.

"I missed your deep eyes...I missed your heartbeat...I missed your voice...I missed your smile...I missed your fragrance...I missed each and everything about you...I am the happiest when I am right next to you"

I lowered my body a bit such that my face was touching his chest. I placed a soft and sweet kiss on  the place where his heart thumps and said

"Don't ever leave my side"

With my free hand I hugged his upper torso and snuggled more into his chest. I felt like now I am back to my home...my little world...my world with Arjun...sorry sorry... my world called Arjun❤❤

Listening to my melodious piece of music that is his heartbeats I drifted off into a peaceful sleep...a peaceful sleep in my Arjun's arms...my piece of heaven❤

Usne pucha sukoon kise kehte hai
Maine jawab diya
Teri bahon me jo pyara sa ehsaas milta hai na use sukoon kehte hai❤️

************************************

Author's POV:

It was dinner time. Aarav wondered why the couple is not coming downstairs for dinner. What's wrong with them?? Are they fighting over Arjun's odd behavior?? Is Sona accusing him??

He was getting restless with the negative thoughts attacking his mind. So He decided to talk to them and know the issue. So he went to their room and knocked. There was no response. He called "Bhai"....still no response.

So straight away he opened the door and entered the room and a pleasant smile crinkled his lips glancing at the couple on the bed.

The love birds were in a deep slumber 
cuddling into each other arms. Sona was hugging Arjun's torso with her head on his chest whereas Arjun's hand was on Sona's waist with his beardo chin  tucked over her head.

Admiring the sweet couple he believed that love can change everything. Love has the power to break and also make emotions.

How Sona's love had changed him...her love for him had urged him to bend down against his adamant personality. A single phone call from her made him rush back to  her....his love...his world...the Queen who rules his heart.

He walked to the bed and tucked the cutie couple under the sheet. He closed his eyes and silently prayed to Bappa to keep them happy forever and keep them away from all the evil eyes. And also give him the strength to fight for everything that comes in the way of their happiness. Arjun and Sona were not less than his Maa Baba for him.

He glanced at the love birds lovingly...switched off the lights and closed the door and left the room.

Sorry for the boring chapter🙁
