Naina's P.O.V.
My eyes fluttered open and adi wasnt beside me. I got up and my blurry eyes found his shadow in the balcony.
His forehead was strained and he was half yelling at whoever was on the phone. His jaw clenched multiple times and he slapped his forehead and yelled again. He put his phone down and looked me and smiled immediately.
He came inside and I got up and walked to him and he exhaled tiredly.
"what's wrong?" I asked holding his bicep. He ran his hand over his hair, frustated.
"I have to leave the country for three days" he said. I stilled.
"what? Why?" I asked, taken aback.
"There's a meeting and a deal that I have to sign. The investor didnt agree to the alternative of having someone else do it on behalf of me. Or do it online. So I have to be there and grace him with my presence." he said frustated.
He has to go. I'll be alone. The thought alone made me sad and prick something inside of me.
"I'm sorry baby, I'll be back the day I sign the deal" he said pulling me close and hugging me.
I've never been this far away from him. Who's arms am I going to run into when he's not there. I can't.
I nodded while a tear left my eye.
"I don't wanna leave either, with dad and everything. But i'm sorry I have no choice." he muttered on the top of my head while tears continued to flow from my eyes. I couldn't help it. My day dosen't start without him and ends in his arms.
Is coldness going to do all that for me now?
"baby don't cry please. I won't go if you dont want me to." he said wiping my tears. I shook my head.
"no its okay. I'm fine" I said wiping my continous tears.
"no you're not. I'm not gonna go if my wife dosen't want me to." he said lifting me in his arms and carrying me.
"no its okay adi. That is important too. I'll be fine" I said with tears staining my cheeks.
"no work is more important that my family, you get that?" he looked at me sternly. "and no you're not fine"
I wiped my tears and pulled him in for a longing kiss. A parting one. The one that leaves his taste on my lips to last me enough till he's back.
"when do you have to leave?" I whispered sadly.
"when you ask me too" he whispered back.
"and if I don't?" I whispered again. He cupped my cheeks tightly.
"then i'll never leave." he whispered again. I chuckled.
"adi please, when do you have to leave?" I asked on the verge of breaking down. He looked at me and laid me down and climed on top of me.
"tomorrow morning. I'll tell abhi and leave" he said.
"then love me before you leave then" I whispered and pulled him in for a kiss.
He stilled and then began reciprocating it. Clothes were discarded and now it was just the two of us who wanted to overthrow time and keep it under our control.
He kissed my chest, my valley and tilted his head to take my left nipple in his mouth making me swirm in the begining cause furher I was just gonna twist.
He sucked wildly, nipping, kneading, licking all around my breast, taking in the entire ball of flesh. I took all of him in, all of what I wasn't gonna get in the next 3 days.
He played with both my nipples, wetting them and moved down planting kisses on my tummy before diving into my belly button, I sucked in my belly and he went deeper making me moan.
"oh god!!!" the pleasure was intoxicating. The dose of his love was tripeled.
He reached my v line and I spread wider for him.
"good girl" he muttered making me blush.
He blew on my bow and I exhaled a breath of desperation. His thumbs spread my thick folds apart and then very slowly his tongue wrapped around my bump and pushed in me.
"ooh fuck!" I gasped loudly arching my back. His tongue applied pressure on my clit and I stretched so much.
His tongue was playing its part good enough that he added tow fingers at once, breaking me.
"ohhh adi please!!!" I cried out feeling stimulated at all my points. God he's a fast learner.
He pumped in and out of me slowly teasing me while I all I could do was cry out in pleasure.
He came up leaving me frustated and kissed me slowly and all my frustation died replaced by softness and love.
"Wait! Wear a condom" I said looking at him all ready between me.
"No! No condoms this time. I wanna feel you and not some rubber on my dick" he said leaning down and I just blinked at him.
He stopped and looked at me. "If you want to" he asked.
I looked at him for a minute before nodding.
"Yeah they're never good anyways" I said smiling.
We kissed passionatley while he entered me slowly and our love making soon took to heaven.
"I love you" he said kissing me in between.
"I love you too" I said.
~~~~~~~~~~
A soft kiss on my forehead made me stir and then a few caresses sent me back to sleep with a soft murmur
"I love you. I'll be back soon" A voice whispered and I slept again.
~~~~~~~~~~~
My mind was tired and empty.
I looked around me and realization hit me.
Adi was gone. Tears pooled in my eyes. I didn't even get to say bye to him. I'll just survive these 3 days somehow.
Yes, survive. Cause with him I start living and without him I survive. I don't want to be dependent on him but this is the first time Ive been so far away from him. I held the sheets tighter to my chest and my eyes fell on a note beside the bed. I picked it up.
l'll be back soon love.
Eat and sleep on time baby and I'll call when I land.
I love you, to the moon and back.
~adi
More tears came out and I clutched the note to my chest. I kept re reading the note again and again and the only thing my brain processed was 'I'll be back soon love'.
I got up and wiped my tears and did my morning routine half dead. I looked at myself in the mirror and there was no difference between the dead and me.
I walked down masking my sadness, greeting everyone. Mom looked at me and took me to a corner while the table was bustling like a restaurant.
"His state was no different from yours sweetie. He'll be back soon. Its okay, he'll be back soon" mom said hugging me and I pushed my tears back thinking adi won't like them.
"I've been there and trust me, the first time is always hard. Its like a piece of you is snatched. And when you see them, the storm calms down and then it all gets better and better." mom explained with softness.
I nodded and she hugged me once more and took me back where I ate breakfast pushing my thought about adi as much as I could. But I had no control over that and soon he occupied my entire day.
~~~~~~~~~~~
"And then he just ghosted me! Can you believe it? Two weeks and he's already getting rid of me! Am I that bad?"
Priyansha ratted frustratingly.
I wasn't paying attention to what she was saying at all. ,y mind kept drifting back to this morning when I woke up all cold and alone.
Two fingers snapped infront of me making me blink.
"You even listening to me?" She said raising her eyebrows.
I wasn't. My mind was too focused on him. I couldn't think of anything else. All I could think about was wanting him back. And right now time was passing as slow as a turtle. I don't know how before I breakdown.
Two fingers snapped infront of my face again.
"okay! what's wrong with you? What's going on?" priyansha said focusing on me completely. Shit!
I don't wanna tell her. I don't wanna remember it. Well I haven't forgottten it in the first place.
"Nothing. I'm fine. Just not feeling good today" I said smiling fakely. The real one is only gonna be there when the source is there. This day feels so empty. I just wanna go home.
"oh you wanna go home?" she asked concerned. I nodded.
Yes, home! where his presence calms me down.
I went up and called the driver. He was standing outside and I climbed in and went to go.
I reached and got out and went inside. There was still warmth in the house. Just not the warmth I wanted.
Mom was sipping her tea and stopped seeing. She looked at me and then the time.
"naina?! you back so early?" she asked and I couldn't hold it anymore.
Tears pooled in my eyes and down my cheeks, rushing like a starved river held back for so long.
"mom!" I sobbed. She got up and rushed to me. I hugged her falling down on the sofa.
"naina beta whats wrong? Are you hurt?" she asked my calmly. With warmth and comfort radiating off of her. I could cry better.
I shook my head voilently. "adi mom! I- i want him back please. I've tried but I can't stop thinking about him. It hurts. I don't want to be alone again. I've been alone all my life mom. Not anymore please. He said he wouldn't leave me. But I made him. I didn't wanna be a clingy wife but I'm sorry I can't help it. Not without him." I sobbed louder, me cheeks and neck all wet.
She didn't say anything. Just rocked me back and forth. She understands everything me and adi go through. Is it same for every couple? Can they tell what's going on with others?
"I know! I know it does. I've been there. So many times and even now if vanraj leaves for work, it feels like it felt all those years ago when he first did. You get used to it and at the same time you don't. I don't cry anymore. That's the only difference between now and then. I'm still sad and broken but I don't show it. You'll know soon. Every wife faces this. Like a part of you went numb for a while until the nerves come back. But until then, you live with that numbness"
"in our case, distance makes the heart grow fonder." she smiled sadly as if reminiscing her days.
She looked at me. "why don't you go to your room, take his shirt and hug it and sleep. That will help. I promise." she said caressing my hair.
I looked at her and nodded.
I got up and went to our room and took out his shirt and smelled it. Home. God I need him back. I lay on the bed, hugging his shirt with teary eyes and tried to fall asleep, with my heartbeat going slow every second and my head hurting. His shirt made me sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The phone rang loudly jolting me awake.
My eyes opened and I sat upright immediately and grabbed my phone. Without looking I swiped it and held it to my ear.
"hello?" I said groggily.
"naina" that deep soothing voice said.
I broke out into a huge smile as my heart sped up and hope flickered in my chest.
"adi" I said with a breaking voice. Oh god! My mind suddenly calmed down and warmth filled my chest and I took a deep relieving breath.
"were you sleeping sweetie?" he asked so sweetly like he was here right now.
"yes I was I came back from college cause I couldn't-" I paused. Should I tell him? I don't wanna worry him.
"what happened? you couldn't what? Is everthing okay?" he asked. Desperation slipping in his voice. Is he going through what i am? My brain processed his voice and its nerves were suddenly fitted back into place.
"nothing uh I just-" I felt so happy.
"classes ended soon so i came back early" I said. I heard him give a sigh of releif.
"what were you doing?" I asked. I had a lot to say to him. The room felt so cold and weird.
"I was just sleeping. I wanted to call you but I thought you might be in college" he said and I could feel the tiredness in his voice.
"hmm" I said and paused. There was peaceful silence. Just listening to each other breathe. That was reassuring enough. Peaceful enough to let the world around us slide away for a while.
"I wanna tell you something else" he said after a while.
"hmm"
"I signed the deal today itself. So I don't have to stay here any longer and I'm coming back tomorrow" he said and huge smile graced my lips. My whole body was jumping with joy and my heart was at peace.
"you have no idea how peaceful and releived I was giving you this news. I was going crazy naina" he said, his voice getting edgy.
"I have an idea already adi. I wasn't doing well here at all." I wanted to tell him all about this morning and whatever followed.
"lets video call, let me see you" he said and requested. I immdiately swiped yes and there he was.
"were you crying" his voice grew possessive. I touched my cheek and looked down. He was the reason but I couldn't tell him that. I just looked at him.
And as if reading my mind "I'm sorry. I'm sorry naina I should'nt have left you. Not for a deal that I could get anytime. I'm sorry please" he said guilt coming over his tired as hell face.
"no. no. no. you dont get to apologize for my actions at all okay? I was the one who sent you adi. And work is important too. I'm here, I'm not going anywhere. Just getting used to you being away." I whispered the last part.
I clutched his shirt close to my chest and he smiled. "did you sleep well?" he asked, his condition no different from mine.
I looked at the shirt and raised it up for him to see "yes I did. You were here with me" I said and he laughed. God!! Home!
My stomach gurgeled and I looked at him.
"I'm hungry. I'll be right back with some food" I said happily.
He nodded and got up as well.
"I'm making this shitty coffee and drinking it thinking you made it" he said as his face cringed making me laugh.
This was good! so good!
We talked for a while having food and then went to sleep without cutting the call.

Unknown's P.O.V
"He's arriving tomorrow, you know what to do." A person said smiling evilly.
The person in front of him nodded with hesitation.
"Good. And this time make it official." The person said again as a sinister look came upon its face.
The person infront of him nodded and gulped.
~~~~~~~~~~
Naina's P.O.V
I looked at myself one last time and smiled. My face back alive and bright ever since knowing that he's coming back.
I'm going to the airport to get him. He'll be arriving in an hour.
I smiled and went down. Today was the best day.
Or so I thought!
"Mam!" A guard came running with his face red.
I turned around and looked at him, my face getting fearful.
"Aditya sir had an accident! He's in the hospital"
Black spots formed in my eyes and my legs gave up. And the last thing I heard was the yelling of my family.
