Sanyukta was lying on their bed still shaking a bit..
Randhir was half lying beside her and was caressing her forehead lovingly to soothe her..
"Randhir.." she mumbled slowly..
"hmm.." hummed in response..
"please tum kahi mat jana aaj.." she snuggled close to him..
"don't worry.. I'll not go anywhere.." he held her lightly in his arms..
"pakka nah??" she encircled her one arm around his waist..
"haan babba.. Pakka.." he pulled the quilt over their frame properly..
"I'm sleeping.. Jana nehi kahi.." she said and closed her eyes..
After sometime Sanyukta fisted Randhir's vest tightly in sleep as she felt him moving..
"umm.. Bola tha nah mat jana kahi.." she murmured in sleep and moved closer to him..
"are babba.. I'm not going anywhere..
I was just trying to lay down.." he patted her forehead to put her in sleep again..
"hmm.." she hummed and got relaxed..
Sometime later he too lied down after assuring that she was in a deep slumber as his back was aching badly due to the uncomfortable sitting position..

Now Sanyukta had her head resting on Randhir's chest and hand on his stomach..
And Randhir's one hand was on her back holding her protectively and another one was loving her forehead and hair..
His gaze was fixed on her face..
He found out how innocent she looked while sleeping..
The arrogant, rude and especially the alcoholic self of her were nowhere to be seen..
The girl who was sleeping in his arms right then was so pure and innocent as a baby..
A baby who was scared by the recent happening..
A baby who wanted someone's care and warmth..
A baby who wanted someone's embrace to hid herself from the world..
While admiring her he felt something ticklish on the sides of his eyes..
He didn't get bothered about it and brushed it off with the back of his palm which was caressing her forehead a moment ago..
And that was when his skin sensed something wet..
Realization hit him..!!
His eyes were flowing without his consent..

"Sanyukta..
You know.. I.. I was so scared seeing you like that..
When I saw you gasping for breath, I felt like someone was choking me..
Your condition was killing me.." his hold around her got tighter and he started weeping silently..
Even Sanyukta got comfortable in his strong hold..
After a few minutes he wept his tears and promised himself determinedly " ab bas.. Bohot ho gaya..
I can't let you suffer anymore..
I'll do everything and anything for you so that you can quit this useless habit of your.." his lightly touched her forehead with his lips..
And a sense of bliss and satisfaction spread in his whole body..

Hours rolled on.. Now it was lunch time..
Sanyukta slowly opened her eyes and found she was sleeping while hugging him..
For a second she thought to go away from him.. But the very moment it felt so good to be with him..
She was observing him this closely for the first time..
She saw his eyes were closed, both lips were pressed against each other loosely and a few front hairs were touching his forehead lightly..
His two days old stubble was adding more charm in his already handsome face..
But still he was looking unpleasant..
Seemed like he was stressed or something was bothering his really badly..
Yeah.. It's true that before that day she never had a keen observation of him, but she saw him a hell lot of time..
After all they shared same apartment..
And she could say by looking at his face that something was definitely wrong with him..
She sighed heavily.. She was concerned for him..
No matter how hard she tried not to get attached with someone emotionally, here she ended up being worried for him..

She was thinking what could be the reason behind his stress and that was when Randhir's hand caught her attention..
She traveled her gaze to his palm and found it was resting on her hair..
Well not resting completely, his palm was still caressing her hair even when Randhir was sleeping..
But it's motion was way too slow..
Sanyukta was amused by Randhir's gesture..
"yeh khud kissi baat ko leke itna paresan hain.. Infact sote huye bhi kitna tensed dikh raha hain.. Fir bhi meri care karna nehi bhula..
Nind me bhi he is caressing my hair to make me feel better..
Itne acche kyun ho tum Randhir??" she said slowly and her eyes welled up..
Next she removed the moisture from the corner of her eyes and brought her hand till his forehead..

Her soft fingers started making their way through his jet black hair..
A minute later Sanyukta noticed that Randhir was looking a bit relax then before..
Soon Randhir opened her eyes.. Blinking twice he looked at Sanyukta hurriedly to ensure that she was fine..
And he found her already awake.. looking at him smilingly..
He could sense that she was almost out of the morning incident..
He moved his gaze till her eyes and their eyes met..
