Chapter 33: Stop abusing single people!

|Innaya|

I stretched my limbs lazily before I opened my eyes. Last night I got the proper, much-needed sleep and all because of Eshan. I dragged myself into a sitting position as I looked for him. He was not in the room and neither in the washroom as I could see the door of bathroom latched from outside.

Where was he? I tried to not to let my mind wander on the reasons behind all the happenings.

Yesterday started on a bad point, spoiling my day and night, but who knew later the very same night would end up bringing us emotionally closer.

I would soon have to talk with the Doctor regarding these increasing episodes and nightmares. 'The intensity and frequency of them have increased and I do not have it in me to bear them any longer. I do not want to have my days or nights with other episodes.'

With those thoughts on my mind, I walked to the bathroom hurriedly, as soon as I noticed it was nine thirty. I was so late.

I walked down the stairs hoping that I was not too late. Eshan, Arjun and Amma were sitting in the living room while engrossed in some deep conversation.

I could not hear what they were talking as they stopped their discussion as Eshan stood up once our eyes met. It was weird, how he got aware of my presence beforehand as he was sitting with his back towards me. I shrugged all the thoughts as his lips curved into that beautiful smile.

"Good morning everyone," I greeted before I came to stand beside Eshan taking hold of his outstretched hand. His skin was warm, soft, and welcoming. Eshan bending little placed his lips on my forehead before whispering in my ears, "Good morning my dear wife."

I could feel his affection through such small gestures and my heart fluttered in my chest. These feelings were new and all because of him. I leaned to his side as he held me with his arm around my shoulders.

"Owch," I hissed as something hit my forehead before falling down. Paper ball? Seriously? I looked up to the owner of the childish prank.

"Good morning, sleepyhead," Arjun cheekily grinned my way before he stood up as well. I couldn't help but glare at his way as he rolled another paper in his hands.

"What? Ok, stop glaring," Arjun muttered before he threw that rolled ball in Eshan's direction, " And stop abusing single people."

I felt embarrassed at his comment though Arjun had smile on his face while he teased us. I turned to see Eshan's reaction, only to find him holding the ball in his hands and out of nowhere, he aimed it perfectly on Arjun's nose.

'Bingo!

Take that for teasing us.'

"Good morning Innaya," Amma broke the glaring match between Eshan and Arjun as she spoke to me. Amma's eyes held the questions and I could see she was holding herself back from asking and even if Arjun behaved childishly, I knew he did only to not appear obvious with his worry.

I unconsciously leaned more into Eshan at the prospect of answering them about last night. I did not even know what or how much they witnessed. I lowered my eyes not able to handle the growing anxiety. However, when Eshan squeezed my shoulder, I realized how close I was standing to him. How could I be stupid enough to behave this way in the presence of others? Instantly, I tried making some distance between us.

"Amma, let's go. I am starving." With one last glance in our direction, Arjun pulled Amma towards the kitchen as he rubbed his nose.

But that cheeky monkey, he ruffled my hair, messing them when I was not paying attention and almost ran away.

"You—"

He chuckled and Amma slapped his chest playfully. "Stop it, Arjun."

Eshan stretched his hand Infront of me and I found him holding another paper ball. Didn't he just throw the one? Where he did get one from? Shrugging the thoughts I took it from him and aimed for Arjun's head. It perfectly landed on back of his head, not missing the target.

Arjun stopped in his tracks and turned back, staring at fallen paper ball on the ground. In the meantime I found Eshan sneakily picking cushions from couch and as stealthily as he could, he hurled them at Arjun.

Arjun evaded every single attack of Eshan and effortlessly. I forgot to join as I watched too friends busy in their banter. Looking at them, I missed Siya. We would also engage in such kind of childishness. How I missed my friend!

"Enough two of you. Eshan clear this mess and Arjun, help me in kitchen." Amma ordered and dragged Arjun away, leaving Eshan, I and messy living room behind.
