My First Crush Happened To Be My Hubby!

Chapter 34: 34. Sleep Walking

Rishi's PoV

What the hell is taking her so long? It's already 11pm and she is not in our room yet?! I decided to go out and look for her. There was no light downstairs. No one is here? Everyone went to bed? Where is she? I turned to Ravi's room to see if she was there. But his room is dark too, meaning he went to bed. Shakshi? But she went to bed when I came upstairs.

Where did she go? I got down to see if she was in the kitchen. She really cooks so well. She makes yummy chicken and she is an expert in making mutton biryani. Now she is trying to cook vegetarian food. Empty kitchen? But then I heard a song from another room downstairs.

"Athisayaney! Piranthu pala varudam arindhavai maranthathu! Enathu ninaivil Indru

unadhu Mugam thavira ethuvum Illaye! Anbe!

Mazhalayin vaasam pothumey

Thalayinil vaanam mothumey

Oru ganamey unai pirinthal

uyir malar kaainthu pogumey!

Vaaney, vaaney vaaney!

Nan un megam thaney!

Ennarugiley, kannarugiley

Nee vendumey!

Mannadiyilum unnarugiley

Naan vendumey!Sollamudiyatha Kaathalum!

Sollil adangaatha nesamum!

Enna mudiyatha Aasaiyum

Unnadithil thondruthey!"

(Oh dear, everything I have learned so far in this life has vanished, It is just your face that has been carved in my heart. An infant with you, the joy then knows no bound, no sky is the limit. If I leave you even for a split second, my life flower will get dried up! I want to keep you in my eyes and should enjoy the joy of being buried with you! There are no words that will tell my love for you. The life I have dreamt with you, there are no numbers that will count my wishes for us together.)

Why in the world am I listening to the lyrics? And why in the world does it sound like she tells me all that? And why in the world am I falling for her all over again!? She is in this room? But why?

I got all angry again. She sure is avoiding me. How dare she sleep in here? I don't want to show her that I'm desperate for her. So, I went to my room again. If she doesn't wanna be with me, I can be too.

It's 1am and I'm still struggling with sleep. I can't sleep. She sure is a WITCH! She might have cast a spell on me. She must be checking if it works or not by getting away from me. God damn it! She is driving me crazy. I am used to sleeping next to her and waking up looking at her face. Her scent is filled in the room and I badly want to hold her in my arms to get that damn sleep.

I woke up when I heard a loud banging. What time is it? God it's already 7.30am? It's Monday and I'm still sleeping? All because of that witch. She didn’t let me sleep all night.

Who the hell is banging on the door?

When I went out, I saw a sleepy Ravi and Shakshi coming out of their rooms. Danya was the one banging. But why? What happened to her!? She usually won't wake up this early. Why is she looking scared? She is all tense. I just stood on the door frame of our room to see what happened.

"Anni! It’s just 7.30. Why are you waking up everyone like this? I'm so tired after all the walks we did yesterday!" Ravi whined while scrubbing his eyes.

"pch! Ravi, she looks terrified. What happened, Danya? Are you ok?" Shakshi asked.

"Guys, I need to go to a doctor. I'm so scared." I could see that she is genuinely scared.

"Hey, it's just 3 weeks after your wedding and you already wanna see the doctor? Wow girl! Congratulations! Don’t be scared. It's all part and parcel of what you did." © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Shakshi is ridiculous! We did nothing like she anticipated. Why the hell did she want to see a doctor? Is she hurt?

"God Shakshi. No, you are getting it all wrong. Ravi, Do you have a family doctor? Can we get an appointment today? Now?"

"Whoa whoa! Anni, What happened? Are you hurt? You got that sprain when you fell down from the tree, right? Did that hurt?"

"Gosh guys, I was faking it. I'm not physically hurt. I...um.... I woke up next to your brother, Ravi!"

Why the hell is she telling this to them? What's wrong with waking up next to me?

"Anni! You guys share a room. Obviously, you will wake up next to him." Ravi said, irritated.

"God, Why don’t you listen? I slept in a room downstairs. I'm 100% sure. I must be sleepwalking. I am so scared, Ravi. What if I go somewhere else tonight? I never had this before. I have read that this

happens if one is under so much stress. I should consult a doctor soon, Ravi." she went on and on about her getting into depression and all such nonsense.

GOD IS SHE REALLY DOING THIS? IT'S FUN TO WATCH HER.

"Listen Danya. Please don’t panic. You might have forgotten that you came to your room." Shakshi tried to reason with her.

"Shakshi, please. I remember locking the room I slept in. I...I am really afraid now, Shakshi. What will happen if I leave our house while sleepwalking? Going out at midnight unconsciously is very dangerous, Shakshi. If I wake up somewhere else I don’t know how to get back to our home."

She is crying? OMG!

"Anni, please don’t cry. We will call up our doctor. Just counselling should be fine,anni.”

That's it.

"Ravi! Is this a big disease? I am so scared..."

I closed her mouth with my hands and pulled her away from them and pushed her in our room.

"God! What the hell are you doing?" I yelled at her. I just can't believe that she really makes up silly things. She is a baby.

"I um... I am sorry! I promise I didn’t know that I have this sleep walking problem." she said meekly. All I wanted to do was to claim her luscious lips and stop her stupid talks.

"You have no such problem, idiot! Stop crying now."

"I slept downstairs but..."

"Shhhh! I brought you here. you didn’t come by sleep walking. For God's sake stop crying now." I tried to get it into her thick head.

Her eyes were all big and she stopped crying. She is just staring at me and all I wanted to do is crush her in a hug.

"You did what?" she asked me, surprised. I love that little bubble of happiness she gets every time I show concern for her. But I also hate to pop that bubble because she is not trustworthy. At least not yet.

"I carried you here last night after you slept."

"Huh!...But... but I locked the door."

"I have all room's keys with me."

I'm not going to let her know that I missed her. She doesn't deserve it.

"I brought you here because I don’t want dad to know that we are sleeping apart. Besides, don't make a scene when we have guests at home."

I said with my hard facade. I love her with all my heart. I hate her because she puts wealth and status before me. I don’t mind her past love anymore because I had a past too. But I cannot tolerate that she chose me over her lover because of my status.

Why the hell my heart fell head over heels for her? She doesn't deserve my love. I can’t keep my distance from her and also I can’t go near her. She is literally torturing me.

And above all, I have to wait for another 2months to get rid of Smirthi.

My mind orders me to go for a detective to know about Danya. But my heart conflicts with my mind. I don’t wanna do that to her. What if she gets to know that I went behind her back to know about her

past? I don’t wanna get down in her eyes.I really want her with me for the whole life. But she has so much to clear.

How did she know me?

From when did she actually know me?

Why did she marry me?

Who did she love?

Why did she choose me over him?

Did she do all she did because of her dad's compulsion?

Until then I can't show her my feelings for her. But I can't handle her ignorance either. She is a living hell.
