Author's POV:

Arjun woke up with a determination to achieve new dimensions to their lives...

As per his routine, he was finishing all his chores but his heart and eyes lingered on the bedroom door that hadn't been opened since morning

Sona had never been this late before... what's the matter with her...
Is everything okay??

Questions attacked his mind and without any delay, his legs strode to the room without his knowledge...

Making up his mind he opened the door and for a moment he was stunned yet soothed

She was asleep at that time.

She was curled up in the quilt with a pale and gaunt face.

Sona... are you asleep?? He whispered a few words, but she didn't respond.

He was afraid to wake her, so he calmed down and sat down beside the bed.

His hand reached her head and began ruffling her hair as his heart softly whispered "I always feel that I sometimes seem to lose my memory and deliberately forget the things that make me very unhappy"

Sona's eyes opened up...looked at him and again closed as her head curled up on his thighs saying nothing...

He was startled at her innocence but soon his eyes filled with worry as his hand sensed her temperature at her forehead 

"You are burning Sona" his voice reflected concern

"I feel so weak" she murmured under her breath

Somehow he made her lean against the headboard and holding her chin he softly said "You need to take the medicine...gather yourself and freshen up a little"

Supporting her upper body he made her reach the washroom and went back to the kitchen to make a light breakfast for her

Post breakfast he gave her medicine and let her rest for a while

After an hour:

"Aho" Her face was slightly red and her eyes were watery searching  for  her husband who was still sitting on the bed...his face was filled with worry 

"Yes, Sona...I'm here...How do you feel now?? Is it better??" he touched her forehead checking the temperature and was relaxed knowing it was better than the previous

"I am fine now...Dont worry" she said in a low voice and was suddenly pulled into his embrace

Two hearts that had turned cold felt warm again in that embrace

They lingered in each other's embrace for a brief period of time till their hearts were full

Breaking the hug he said "You scared me"

Her small face burst into a small smile emitting a white jade-like luster as she only felt a kind of unspeakable joy in her heart

He clasped her hand and said in one breath "Look Sona I don't care about others...I care only about you...you are an important part of my family...I don't want you to get hurt or get affected by me...if you need any support...any help just say it to me...I'll do whatever I can"

He paused for a tiny moment and said further "May be...." his voice trembled slightly but then gathering his guts he spit it out

"May be you have a little admiration for me...May be you really have a little bit of a good feeling for me because I have helped you...Or I am good to you... That's it...

I don't think you have any special feelings for me at all...

If you think so then I have made some mistakes between you and me, I apologize to you and promise you that such things will not happen again, so you can rest assured to go back and stop talking about these disturbing topics"

Her face instantly fell while he went on

"Although you always say how good I am whether it is out of my original intention or not, I have done a lot of bad things, sometimes quite bad...

Compared with me, you are an angel, so you don't have to think about it, and don't worry about these things...just focus on yourself...stop thinking about a bad person like me"

She raised her hand over her lips
"You are not bad at all, you are the best, really the best, I do not allow you to say yourself like this"

However, the girl had deep sympathy and guilt towards him...he acknowledged

Sure enough, Sona is also concerned about Arjun, that kind of empty eyes she was afraid of... It's more burning than her own tears.

Taking back her hands he somewhat raised his pitch

"Let be me very clear Sona...The relationship between us...as husband and wife is basically neither warm nor cold, nor distant nor near...

We are good as friends...

So I won't have any unnecessary dreams or unnecessary things...

And I want you to promise the same"

Although she had been prepared, but then everything was finally settled, she was still very disappointed. There was no joy in her heart, only a touch of sadness.

But the girl has no choice and retreat

"I know I am hurting you...but Sona" his words fell incomplete in the air when she interrupted

"It doesn't matter if I'm hurt or not"

She looks in his eye, faintly some heartache.

"The important thing is, I am not weak...can withstand this small blow."

Not weak? A little blow?

His mind drowned in a small confusion but little did he know that she was much determined

"There's nothing I can't be reconciled to... What belongs to me will always belong to me, and I will never ask for anything that doesn't belong to me."

At this time, Arjun felt a little unbearable... perhaps because he felt Sona's determination and seriousness when she said so...

***********

In the evening Sona requested Arjun to take her out as she was too bored to stay at home and he too agreed without any argument

First, they went for a movie and later arrived at a small restaurant for dinner

The weather was cold and the restaurant was warm as spring...

Arjun's face improved a lot, but there was still a faint melancholy color between his eyebrows..

He was reluctant to laugh. He was not interested in going out for fun, and did not move the food on the plate.

Sona put her hand on the back of his  hand and said gently, "I hope you are happy"

He mumbled, "I don't want you to do so many things for me..."

She smiled "Up to now, I have done too little for you, you have not let me worry, I hope you can be more committed to me, let me do more for you."

And moreover, you deserve all the good things, so don't say such words again...

Let's face it together and solve it together"

Under the candlelight, two people's hands tightly together

Both are willing to fulfill the beautiful and simple relationship of friendship wholeheartedly with  pure affection

The kind of affection they had longed for but never got.

Emotions taking a new turn??

Was down with a few health issues sorry for the delay in the update
