"Unke paas hone se mere dil ko sukoon hai,
Unki aakhon mein mera hi wajood hai,
Meri mehek mein bhi unka ehsaas hai,
Kuch aisa hi humare ishq ka junoon hai."

Later that night, Rudraksh had changed into a loose vest, a habit he had formed knowing that Ruhanika often loved slipping into his vest to sleep. But tonight was different. She was lying on her side, away from him, her back turned, and it was beginning to irritate him. For the past five minutes, she had been fidgeting with the hem of her night suit, her restlessness obvious. Unable to take it any longer, Rudraksh sighed in frustration. He shifted closer to her and, without a word, wrapped his strong arms around her waist, turned her and pulling her snugly against his chest. The warmth of his embrace seemed to dissolve the distance between them, and he let out a contented breath, finally finding comfort in having her close.
