Recap: Keshav leave for Delhi and Myra miss him a lot.

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

Three days later:

Myra stepped out of the room dressed up to leave for academy. She missed Keshav despite of him calling her every hour and their long night chats. She missed his care personally, his warmth from hugs and cuddles, his kisses and she felt like missing a part of herself without him. She ate because he wanted her to eat, she worked because he wanted her to be engaged, she slept because he talked and sang until she fell asleep. 

Archana and Naina pulled her to have breakfast and Myra joined them with a smile that did not reach her eyes. Half way through breakfast they heard door bell and Madan attended to it.

Madan: Myra, someone is here to meet you. 

Myra washed her hand and reached the threshold of the door and saw a person holding a basket in his hand. He passed the basket and an envelope to Myra and left from there. Myra opened the cover of the basket and saw Shishimaru curled into a ball. She carried him into her arm and rubbed his fur as he snuggled into her chest.

Naina: Shishimaru is here ? Who got him ?

Myra passed Shishimaru to Naina and opened the envelope which had the initial K on it and a postal stamp from Delhi.

" Hello Butterfly, I know you are sad and aloof since you miss me. Trust me little one, I miss you a lot. Just two more days and I will come back to you. Keep up with the smile for me love. Shishimaru missed you too so take care of him and give your time to him until I m back to take all your time for myself. Stand before the mirror and look at your reflection, you will see me next to you. I m with you, watching you all the time butterfly. I love you. Just 2 more days.

Your Ketchup " 

Myra smiled but her lips quivered and tears trailed down her cheeks. She kissed the letter and placed it back in the envelop and rushed to her room. She stood before the mirror and looked at reflection. She smiled on seeing Keshav's portrait on the wall mirroring next to her on the mirror.

She called him and Keshav answered it in th first ring.

Keshav: Is my wife happy this morning ?

Myra: I m elated, my husband does everything to make me smile and I just can't wait for the 2 days to be over. I love you Keshav. 

Keshav: I love you my butterfly. I have got to attend a meeting so I will call you when I m done with that. Keep up with your routine work. 

Myra hummed and cut the call. She reached the hall and saw Naina and Madan playing and feeding Shishimaru. She sat next to Shishimaru and he jumped to her lap. Myra started feeding him slowly.

Naina: Finally your smile reached your eyes. Now play with him and I will go the academy today. 

Madan: Myra, I will call Rajan. We shall take Shishimaru to the nearby park for a walk. 

Myra hummed and the trio reached the park. Myra was playing with Shishimaru and she didn't miss the guard watching over her from distant. She felt Keshav's love in everything he did for her.

Krish and Naina arrived at the hospital for his next appointment. This time both Naina and Krish were called by the doctor and they greeted him as they got seated.

Doctor: Hello Mrs. Krish, how are you both doing ?

Naina: We are doing good doctor. Thank you.

Doctor: Is your husband giving a hard time to you ? I can get him admitted and send him back once he is ready to live with you.

Naina: No doctor, he is doing absolutely fine. Infact in these 7 days he hasn't called him fool even once. We cooked three meals together for the family. He took me on dinner once. He spoke with his parents more than earlier. Only thing he refused is the chocolate I asked for.

Doctor chuckled and Krish looked at Naina who was smiling sheepishly.

Doctor: Have you ever bought chocolate for your wife before your marriage ?

Krish: Yes, that was long back when I was still friends with Myra. Naina used to accompany me and Myra occassionally. I bought chocolates and ice cream at that time.

Doctor: Very good. 

There was knock on the door and the doctor called the person. His assistant entered holding a box in his hand.

Assistant: Doctor, today is my birthday. I bought your favourite chocolates.

The assistant gave chocolate to doctor and he passed chocolate to Naina and Krish. Naina immediately took one and wished him. Krish hesitated but picked one and wished him. Once the assistant left the room, the couple watched the doctor moaning to the taste of the chocolate and waited until he got finished with it.

Doctor: I think we should wind up today. Krish is progressing well and I will hear from you both in the next visit.

Krish looked at Naina since the doctor hadn't spoke a word with Krish.

Naina: Doctor, you haven't talked to Krish today.  I can wait outside if that is what you wanted.

Doctor: He has progressed really well than expected Mrs.Krish. He has earned so many positive points from you and isn't that a progress ? He in on right path so lets meet next week.

The couple smiled and thanked the doctor to leave the room but were stopped by him.

Doctor: Krish, sometimes we don't have to be friend, lover or wife to be gifted with or to give chocolates. If a simple gesture from us can bring a smile on someone's face then nothing wrong in doing that.

Krish nodded his head and they walked out. Naina interlaced her fingers with his and they got in the car.

At hospital, Roshni sat on the bed looking at the wall. Ajay who came on rounds saw the food was untouched. He hit his baton on the gate to get her attention but when there was no response he opened the gate and entered inside the cell. 

He saw her staring at the ring in her finger. He called her a few times but Roshni didn't respond. He shook her gently and Roshni pretended to be startled and looked at Ajay.

Roshni: What happened ? Is Krish here to meet me ? Are my parents here ?

Ajay: Your food is untouched, have it now and you need to take your medicines.

Roshni: There is no one to meet me. Krish would have got married by now. Please can you not force to have food atleast. Let me bask in the thoughts of my Krish, he has given me a lot of memories for this life time. Look at this ring, isn't the most beautiful one ? He proposed me with this ring. He went on his knees and held this ring infront of me with a smile that is still etched in my heart.

Ajay: You should stop thinking about someone who gave you pain. Focus on your life and may be one day you will get out of this place and anguish to find a life for yourself.

Roshni: I still trust my love, he will realize our love and come for me. He will sure fight his family for me. We will unite one day and find our forever together. We had chosen names for our children in the future but I m not telling you that. Its a secret only between me and Krish.

Ajay: What if doesn't turn up ?

Roshni: I will live with his memories until I breathe my last but I just wish to meet him and my parents once to know they are doing well without me.

Ajay picked the plate from the floor and placed it next to her on the bed and poured water in the glass from the jug.

Ajay: Nurse will be here anytime so finish the food.

Ajay locked the gate and looked at her a few seconds before he walked away. Roshni picked the plate and started gulping the food.

Roshni Mv: Fuckers, couldn't even provide some good food. All these are just for few days then I will be out like a free bird. Kish was far better than this idiot Ajay, very hard to crack this fuckard.

Back at Madan's home, the family was having dinner and Myra finished the food quickly and rushed to shishimaru. She carried him to the balcony of her room and sat on the floor with him on her lap.

Myra: Shishimaru, why does Ketchup work so late night ? Its already 9 and he is yet to return home. I m sure he doesn't take care of him these days.

Shishimaru looked at Myra and sniffed her face and tried to lick but Myra moved her face back and held Shishimaru's face in her palm.

Myra: Don't you dare to kiss me. Only my Ketchup can kiss me. If he get to know then he will send you back home and we will be alone once again so you better behave.

She smiled and looked at her mobile with a pout.

Myra: Call me Ketchup, Its been 3 hours to your meeting. What do you guys discuss this long ?

Her mobile started ringing and she answered it immediately.

Myra: I m very angry with you Keshavaaa.

Keshav chuckled at the way she called him and Myra huffed making him smile further.

Keshav: What did I do that made my butterfly angry with me ?

Myra: What is the time now ? Why do you work late night ?

Keshav: It was a meeting with the director and all additional addirector and Inspectors so it takes time. We had lot to discuss and analyse.

Myra: Where are you ?

Keshav: In the elevator to reach the parking. I will reach home in 20 minutes, refresh in 10 minutes to have dinner. Servant must have cooked food and stored it in the hot pack so I will eat immediately. Did you have dinner ?

Myra: Yes. Ketchup, Shishimaru tried to kiss me.

Keshav: What ? How dare he ? Where is he now ?

Myra: Resting on my lap and I m caressing his fur. I think he feels like heaven.

Keshav: Too bad, he is stealing you away from me little one. Put him down this instant or I m taking him back to home and I will never let him near you.

Myra: Possessive husband.

Keshav: Very possessive for you. Only I can do everything to you. Driver is ready to take me home so I will call you back after having dinner. Put Shishimaru to his mattress and go to bed and wait for me.

Myra: As if you will be in bed to cuddle. 

Myra cut the call and Keshav got in the car and looked at their picture in the wall papaer which was taken in Swizz. He reached home and quickly did his chores and laid on the bed and called Myra on a video call.

Myra placed the mobile to balance on the headboard and laid on her stomach, covering her with a sheet as she answered the call.

Myra: I love you Keshav, I miss you ..I miss you.. I miss you

She gave him flying kiss and Keshav returned her kiss and winked at her.

Keshav: I love you and miss you a lot Myra. Why do I feel you lost weight ?

Myra: You are not here to take care of me. I miss your cooking, I haven't bought any snacks for me, I haven't had any snacks after you left. I just eat the food from home and I miss you a lot that I m losing my weight in your thoughts.

Keshav: Please don't lose too much weight little one, I love holding on to your chubby abdomen, I love the little fold on your waist when you walk, I love caressing your chubbiness.

Myra: Then you should complete your work quickly and come to me. I want to hug you Keshav, I want to cuddle with you, Feed me with your hands please, I miss you Ketchup.

Myra duck her head to hide her tears and quickly wiping them away she looked at him with a smile, little did she know he wiped his own tears the moment she ducked her head.

Keshav: I will be there on the bed with you on saturday love. I will do everything you asked for and things you haven't asked for. Now tell me what are you wearing ?

Myra: I m not telling you or showing you that is why I have a sheet wrapped around me.

Keshav: May be you aren't wearing anything. Am I right butterfly ?

Myra: Pervert. I m wearing your shirt.

Keshav: Only shirt ? Good little one. Any sneak peak before Saturday night ?

Myra: Nooooooo.

Keshav chuckled and they continued talking until she fell asleep. Keshav watched her sleeping and cut the call when he decided to call for the night.
