CHAPTER- 35❣️

Naina's P.O.V

My brain and body have been acting in my best interest these days. Because of the awsome sleep I've been getting.

Reason? You already know it.

Adi and his arms. They're all in one. They tease me, love me, comfort me, help me sleep, are a blanket, are like a heater and so much more. I've been loving them around me even more since yesterday.

Yesterday! We kissed! My cheeks warmed up as I recalled his lips tightly shut on mine. Like he was waiting to do that. The desperation was something I could make out when he kept pulling me in.

I turned to face him and his arms tightened around me. I smiled and kept my hand on them. They were warm. I looked at him sleeping like a baby. So innocent and carefree.

What's he like at work? I'm pretty sure not what he is at home. But definitely the person that people would want to look up to and be successful.

I'm proud of him. Of my husband. Of my adi.

"If you're done staring, it's time for my morning kiss" his groggy voice came while his eyes still closed.

I blushed. The word kiss has been getting the most out of me since yesterday.

"What morning kiss?" I said tracing his arms with my fingers. I felt them soften and loosen before they tightened around me again.

I too have an effect on him. Hehe.

He opened his eyes and looked at me sleepy. He works way too much. For me. For his family and never complains. I will do something for him too.

"A new habit. Whenever I get up you give me a morning kiss and I give you one too" he said rubbing his eyes and yawning.

I giggled.

He looked at me like 'what'

I shook my head and smiled at him.

"As much as your smile makes my day I still need my kiss cause it gets me going for the day" he said balancing himself on top of me now.

He pressed his body on mine and I closed my eyes. I love it.

"So give me. Or should I give you first?" He said. "I'll give it to you first. Wait but then I'll get mine too obviously" he said speaking to himself.

I broke out in a small laugh seeing him using his morning brain over for a kiss. He stopped and looked at me and smiled.

My laugh broke when he leaned in and gently placed his lips on mine. I closed my eyes letting his leafs do the work. Mine were petals, like he said. And his are leaves.

He didn't move his lips but they were in a perfect hold with mine and I gave in. I put my hands on his nape and pulled him closer to which he began moving his lips with mine now.

I was not a pro at it but it looked like he was. He was kissing me with the perfect rhythm and motion. Tilting his neck side to side while I just kept trying to move mine along with him but he was too fast.

Has he kissed before? My mind diverted from our kiss and I stopped moving mine and adi seemed to notice that and he stopped too.

He looked at me as worry laced his eyes. "What's wrong my love?"

And there goes my attention and thoughts right out from that endearment. It's the way he says it. A lot of people use endearments but it's the way you express it to the person. It's your tone that tells your intention and feelings for that person.

I realised adi was still waiting for a reply so I just shook my head and pulled him back in for another kiss.

And that's how my morning started. Full of kisses.

~~~~~~~~~

"Stay calm and give me a call if anything happens. And I Mean it naina" adi said for the umpteenth time while driving me to college.

I groaned. "Yes I got it."

"Say that you will" he said as the car came to a halt infront of the college.

"Yes adi I will call you if anyone happens" I said unbuckling my seat belt.

"Or if you suspect anything is about to happen" he said stopping me as I was about to open the door.

I groaned and turned to him to give him a stern look.

"You wait for things to get worse naina and I don't like that about you" he said and I gave him a look. But I knew he was right. I do wait for things to get worse before doing anything.

I looked down and sighed. "I know I'm sorry. I won't do it again" I said looking at him. He gave me a unsatisfied look.

"I promise" I said keeping my hand on his. He sighed and nodded.

"It's just that I love you and your flaws but when those flaws put you in danger that's when I don't like it" he said.

I nodded and gave him a reassuring smile.

"Call me if anything happens or you suspect will happen" he said leaning forward and putting his forehead with mine. I nodded.

"Or we can have lunch together?" He suggested looking up.

"No. I'm having lunch with my friends. I need some socializing too" I said. He made a face but agreed nonetheless.

The word friend made my mind diverted towards priyansha. This is heights. Where is she? What Is going on? Is she okay? She just disappeared out of the blue man!.

Adi leaned in slowly and I got the idea and closed my eyes and let his warm lips calm and comfort me before going. He softly licked my lips and backed up slowly kissing my cheek in the process.

I turned all red. He laughed and I giggled and went away.

Priyanshas thought didn't escape my mind instead I ran to the first class to check if she was there. She wasn't!. I waited  she still didn't come.

I ran and checked the bathroom but she wasn't there either. I was really concerned now. I opened my phone and tried calling her but her number was switched off!. Where is she?

Did something happen to her.? I kept thinking until I saw her friends enter the classroom. Yes her friends. I've only met them once and I only hang out with her.

I went over to them.

"Hey" I said as one of them looked up and gave me a smile.

"Hey naina!" Wow they remember my name.

"Hey I was just wondering have you all seen priyansha? Cause I didn't. This entire week" I said. My voice showing worry and concern.

"Oh yeah man we didn't either. We thought she might've told you or would be with you but I guess not" a boy said coming up front.

"I don't know where she is, even her number  is switched off and she's not replying to any messages" I said sitting down.

"I know we've tried calling her too but as you said number switched off." She said and shrugged.

I looked down and we all were quiet for a moment until one of them said

"Maybe she ran away" a girl said and we all looked at her. Some with a what look and some with a look that said maybe.

"Maybe" I said and then they looked at me. I raised my eyebrows and replied "no I'm serious. What if she did? Did anyone of you go to her house? Was she there?"

"Yeah we did actually! But the house was locked from the outside and even their Gardner was not there, he usually is even when the family is not home" the same girl said.

Locked? House? OK something is clearly not right now. The house is locked? Where are her parents?

I nodded and thanked them for the information and took the class.

I took all the classes thinking about the possibilities of what happened to priyansha and where she is. And I didn't know when time passed by when I found myself munching on my lunch.

Suddenly my phone rang breaking me out of my trance. I checked and it was adi. Automatically a smile came on my lips as I picked it up.

"Hello" I said taking a bite of my parantha.

"Hi" he said in a romantic voice. "What are you doing?" He asked.

"Eating lunch. You?"

"About to have lunch. Let's have it together." He said and I could hear shuffling voice.

"What? But I'm in college adi!" I said. What is doing ? Together?

"No no my love. Well I could come and pick you up but what I meant was let's come on a video call and see each other" he said and the next minute I got a request to switch to video call.

I smiled and accepted his request and there he was. Opened his lunch and took the first bite. His coat on his chair and his sleeves rolled up to his elbows.

"The parantha is so good baby I swear you should open a restaurant" he said moaning. I giggled.

"Wait adi let me go out, network issues coming in" I said and got up to go out. Yeah the network really sucked. Even 5g wasn't working. Wow!

The signal came in much better and we talked a bit more until the break got over and I had to go back to class.

I took my classes but priyanshas thought had disappeared after adis call but i still wasnt paying attention in the class. The last class wasn't there cause Mr Om Prakash again was absent.

Is he ever present? I've literally only seen him once ever since I came to college. What does this man do? Or even better how is he getting his salary? He isn't even allowed so many leaves.

Huh but why do I care? I'm getting free early good for me though. As I walked out I halted.

Oh shit! I forgot the assignment I had to take, shit!

I ran back to the teacher and took the assignment.

"Deadline is Friday naina" she said without looking up from her glasses. I nodded and went out. On the way I went to a bench and opened the bag to keep the assignment.

As soon as I put my hand inside I felt something soft then hard. What!

I opened by bag wider and pulled out something. My hands froze.

A rose!?

Who put a rose in my bag? But the rose wasn't the only thing. There was yet another note.

I pulled it out.

"My lips are gonna feel the same way as his arms. Be ready for a long and warm night soon"

I threw note away In disgust. The fear stepped in me again. Whoever is playing this game is seriously sick. Do I have a stalker?

Nobody can compare anything to him. No person is anything like my adi. No one can please me and make me happy like he does. This person dosent even have the right to even say his name. Terrible. No one can love me like him. He's my special someone. My body will never accept anyone but him now. No one ever.

If this person ever decided to compare itself to my adi, he'll be way down and adi will be way up. This note itself was  written to scare me. It did I admit but whoever this person is I'm starting to get immune to it. I just hope one day this all ends.

The same hesitation erupted in me for calling adi. I put all of it in my bag and got up with a stern look on my face. Adi tells me I'm strong and brave. He thinks so. I was scared but I didn't show it.

I saw the driver outside. Wait they were waiting all this time?

The guard saw me and he opened the door for me. I smiled and thanked him and went in.

"Are Madan uncle aap ko kaise pata aaj mai jaldi aa jaungi?" I said keeping my bag on the seat. The guard sat on the front seat.

"Mujhe nahi pata tha beta, tumhara college timetable mujhe Aditya beta ne de diya tha, toh mai jaldi aa gya chutti hone se pehle" he said smiling through the rear view mirror.

I smiled. Adi told him to not call him sir or hukum. He sees Madan uncle as his father. Although Madan uncle is the same age as adis father he denied him to do so.

'Madan uncle, you are my fathers age. You calling me sir or hukum dosent look good. So you call me as you would call your son' these were adis words.

He began driving. "Uncle today I want to go somewhere. Please take me there I'll tell you the directions" I said and he looked at me and frowned but nodded.

I guided him the directions and finally the car came to a halt and I stepped out.

'Sharma Niwas' read the nameplate.

I sighed.
