HUMNAVA MERE ☑

Chapter 57

I want to wake up in the middle of the night to pull you closer and know that you are mine forever.

The dancing rays of the soft glowing sun brightened the azure sky. The lanky tall buildings of the cities shone under the morning sun.
Sidharth woke up to the tingling cold water droplets falling on his cheek. He opened his eyes to the beautiful sight of his wife.

He tossed to the other side, hiding the smile that crept to his face and instead, made a hiss of being distributed.
"Uth ja na, kyu drame kr rha hai, m late ho jaungi" Sana pleaded him while shaking his shoulders.
Sidharth shifted and turned and wrapped his arms strongly against her torso.
"Good morning," he said with a yawn.

"Good morning" she smiled, "uth aur nahaa, mumma ke saath tujhe routine checkup k lite jaana hai, yaad hai na?"

Sidharth at once sat upright, checking the clock for time. He rolled out of bed in a haste.
"Tujhe bhi drop kru?" he asked.

"Nhi, m Nisha ke saath jaa rhi hu. Usse State central library jaana hai aur mera shoot location paas m hi hao to vo drop kr degi" Sana said hastily getting ready.
"Maine upma bnaya hai, kha lena. M late ho gyi hu, bye" and with that, she left, still struggling to strap her sandals while walking out of the door.

Sidharth looked at her going and shook his head. A wide smile embracing him, 'thank you' he mouthed to no one particular. Just to thanking the universe for such a beautiful life. This was not just a one-day occurrence. Life had taken a beautiful turn after marriage. Being woken up by his wife or waking her up made the mornings beautiful. Taking care of each other and the house and family were therapeutic. And added the times of quality which they spend together, life was a sky full of stats.

Even the little fights, misunderstandings, and arguments seemed to be making him fall deeper and deeper into love.

He shook his head. There will be plenty of time later to gush over it, first, he should get ready for the day.

With that, he began with his day. The day processed slowly as the sun shifted. It was like every normal day, more peaceful than many perhaps. He drove his mother to the hospital after breakfast for one of the routine check-ups.
While sitting in the car himself, waiting for mommy he made a few necessary phone calls.

Confirming his plan with the manager he sat peacefully till his mother returned. He started the engine of the car while asking her about the reports and check-up, making sure everything was fine.

Driving back, he could not stop thinking and being excited about telling her about the trip they were about to make. The only question now was; how was he going to spare the time till he had to go pick her up?

Shehnaaz had had a busy day and was entirely exhausted by the time she finally could go and change into a comfortable t-shirt and trousers. She had multiple things to do that day.

The day had begun itself in a hustle. She reached the studio just in time for the voiceover to be recorded. That was fun but extremely exhausting. Especially the suffocation in the recording room was considerable. Thus making the place more humid, and that was the last thing one would have wanted on a day with 30°C temperature.

After lunch, Shehnaaz traveled to the studio to the west of the city for a photo shoot. Even this place had more free air, the changing of clothes and sitting almost an hour for makeup had worn her out. So when the photographer told her that they were done, she wanted nothing more than to be able to let out a sigh, rush to change, wash off her makeup and let herself and her skin breathe.

By the time she had changed and was about to message Sidharth, there was a message from him waiting for her already.
'Waiting outside..'
The simple text brought a wide smile to her tired face. She quickly picked up her tote bag and left the dressing room.
