I didn't want to get out of bed while lying under the warm blanket, but I heard footsteps outside the door. It was Ravi. He hadn't been home all night last night and only returned in the morning. I heard him gently turn the knob of my door. I buried my head in the blanket and pretended to be asleep.
Ravi came in quietly and sat beside my bed. I opened my eyes and saw Ravi looking at me with affection. His face slowly moved closer to mine and he kissed my forehead. I immediately reached out and hugged his neck. His upper body was on top of mine.
"So you were awake long ago." Ravi's nose was on mine.
"You didn't come back all night, so I couldn't sleep well."
"I'm sorry. There are some things I have to handle recently, so I will be spending a lot less time with you."
