Shreya leaned over hugging him around his neck. Charan quietly held her in his embrace. Both of them did not talk… there was no need for words anyways.
The peace that they found in each other was evident from the tranquility in the air.
Shreya was still sitting on his laps lazily leaning over his chest. She kept playing with his shirt collars and buttons. She kept flickering and circling them with her fingers while Charan rubbed over her head gently. Slowly, Shreya's eyes got droopy with sleep.
Charan pecked on top of her head and asked breaking the silence, "You want to go to sleep?"
Shreya blinked and shook her head stubbornly. But she did not stop there… she even blinked her eyes several times while rubbing them with the back of her knuckles trying to stay awake.
Charan frowned at her confused.
"Sweetheart, it is getting late anyways. Why don't you go to sleep…? It is fine… you are still taking tablets!" Charan tried to convince her.
