ONE WEEK LATER:

The bypass surgery was successful and mom is recovering quite well. Dad is taking extra care of mom and seeing them like this, together happily in love, makes me miss Agastya more and more. I haven't seen him for a week now and this has been the longest time I have been without him. Vidyut visited us to see my mother and told me that Agastya is busy with the office work. He also told me that the international awards for news and documentary are going to be live the next week and that we have not only got invited but also we will be receiving one. Agastya is extremely caught up and hence he couldn't come to see me even after promising me for the same.

Though I know and I understand his reasons, yet I can't help but be sad about his absence. I know I told him that I don't expect anything in return of my love for him, but I am just a human. I do like his presence around me, I like what he does for me and now I am sad. He didn't even care to drop a message and ask if I was doing fine or not. Like he could have done anything to contact me but he didn't. It's not that I have some ego issues and I didn't try calling him. But Agastya being Agastya didn't even pick my calls. I don't know how to process all this. His sudden indifference makes me go mad.

But that's also equally true that I have seen how much he has changed in these past days. Agastya has literally went out of his ways for me, even if it meant to star in the cover page of Highlights Reloaded and giving an interview about his vision for Gossip Bee to thank me for the birthday gift. He did modelling after some two years, just for me but then again I don't know why, I just feel that he is still not being himself, as if he's lying and pretending to be happy when actually he is not. There's something amiss. He seems lost, contemplating things in his head, overthinking and analyzing. Sometimes he even breaks my heart by saying things which are absurd and hurtful but I still choose to focus on the good developments we have made. Agastya is open to conversations even if he is being hurtful. At least I know him better than anyone else. Oh! Robby is an exception.

"Agastya!" I called him as I entered inside. I found him in the lawn, leaning on the slider, sipping on his black coffee, all alone, yet looking breath takingly gorgeous in a simple bottle green coloured turtle neck shirt and fine grey pants. He was on a call, talking to someone and didn't get to know about my presence until our four legged friend ran into his legs, nuzzling softly, offering all the love it could. Robby is a Maltipoo pup, and is extremely cute, friendly and white. When I first saw it, I knew I have fallen in love again. Agastya quickly disconnected the call and took the poodle in his left arm. Robby licked his face and I was so happy to see that Robby already loves Agastya.

"Robby loves you."

"How are you Robby? Is she treating you fine?" Agastya softly nudged his face on his nose and for the first time ever, I saw him being so carefree and loving without any hesitation or restrains.

"He is just one year old." I smiled and caressed the back of Robby. I was looking intently at him, when I felt Agastya's stare on me, tender and grateful. I looked up only to find him boring his agate eyes into mine. Agastya's lips were stretched in a thin small smile, and I realized that I was falling for this man again. Everything about Agastya is hell gorgeous. His skin is so soft, there are now no signs of cuts or bruises because he doesn't go to fight those filthy battles anymore. His neck muscles are to die for, he towers over my frame, something which used to intimidate me before, now all it does is creating a whole zoo in my stomach. I go weak in knees whenever he leans in a little to my height. His hair are the softest strands I have run my hands into, his dimples that make a rare appearance, because of his gloomy nature, are my favorite thing about him. With Robby I could see them after such a long time. Agastya looked cute.
