Ek mutthi Aasman- lucky number three

part 14

As the sun went down, raghav went to sleep. Kalpi who couldn't sleep turn around and calls raghav "sir, are you asleep" , when he didn't respond she thought he must have went to sleep. "What do you want kalpi" he says with a tiered voice. Kalpi gasp before sitting up "you're awake"

"of course, who would sleep through your snore", she blush when he said this " I do not snore"

"oh really, and who do I suppose was making that noise?" he asks now sitting up

"it was my cat", raghav raised an eyebrow " your cat?"

"yes, he has sleeping problems"

"so is that why the light is on, instead of off" he asks

"yes, he's afraid of the dark" , raghav sigh " ok this is ridiculous, we both know cats cant snore, kalpi"

"But bh-"she stop what she was going to say when raghav gave her that don't you dare say it look. "anyway, your disturbing my sleep so turn the lights of", kalpi protest but he didn't listen. It went like this for a while until she gave in. while they were asleep, kalpi was having another nightmare, she woke up and walk towards the bed, accidently stepping on her cat. Her cat hiss before moving to another place. She apologize before getting on the bed to sleep. While they were sleeping kalpi rolls herself towards raghav trying to get more warmth. Raghav out of reflex puts his hands around her waist thinking its his wife.

When the sun rise, raghav open his eyes. it was still heavy because of his nightmares. He look at where his arm was and was surprise to see his wife "priya?" he says, he watch as she looks up at him with confusion before smiling. Out of habit, he grab her chin and gives her a peck on the lip, this shocks her. Making her turn red before accidently punching him in the face. When she did this raghav snap out of it, he looks at kalpi and saw her moving away from him. "Kalpi, I'm sor-" he never finished when kalpi interrupted him " its fine Mr. singhania, you were just caught up in the moment" she says, turning to leave. Raghav tries to explain but she quickly leave not giving him a chance.
