Meera was sleeping soundly when her eyes opened in the middle of the night due to sheer pain in her stomach. She touched her stomach and looked beside her to find Aashrit sleeping hugging her tightly. Meera slowly removed his hand from her waist and stood up from the bed. Aashrit opened his eyes but slept back on seeing her going towards washroom.

She slowly walked towards the bathroom while holding her stomach and turned on the lights of the bathroom and sat on the toilet seat. As she looked down, she was happy to see blood. Being diagnosed with PCOS, her periods had always been irregular which gave her many body issues. While she was happy to see blood, on the other hand, she was sad remembering the pain she would have to go through for the first day of her periods which had already started by the way.

After changing her clothes, Meera came back and lay on the bed with her back straight. A small cry threatened to escape as she felt a hit inside her stomach. She tightly clutched her stomach and turned on one side while pulling her knees to her stomach. The pain was so uncomfortable for her. She was confused about which part of her stomach to press to stop this pain. She shut her eyes tight to distract herself from the pain.

She threw the blanket feeling hot but soon enough covered herself feeling cold. She tossed on the bed from one side to another to find a comfortable spot but found none only to leave her in frustration. She looked at Aashrit lying beside her sleeping soundly which made her angry thinking about him getting his beauty sleep while she was in pain. She wanted to wake him up but she didn't want to spoil his sleep too. As she turned to the other side, a small cry escaped her lips and she quickly covered her mouth looking at Aashrit beside her. And she closed her eyes in frustration as she found him waking up with just a small sound.

Aashrit looked at Meera who was at the other end of the bed with wide eyes and a hand on her mouth.

"Meera." He called her but she didn't reply.

Aashrit forwarded his hand towards her and a small cry left Meera's mouth. Aashrit's eyes opened fully on hearing the cry and he sat up instantly.

" I am sorry. Did I hurt you?" He said in concern.

Meera wanted to sit with him and tell him that everything was fine but her mood swings were taking over. She looked at him with pouted lips which made Aaashirt feel even more guilty.

Meera took a deep breath to control her mood swings "It's fine. You didn't hurt me."

"Why are you awake?" He asked her.

Meera didn't know what to say to him and suddenly found herself speechless while the cramps were not helping her much.

She clutched her stomach and heaved a breath, tired of his questions. She didn't want to talk right now. She felt bile rising in her stomach and she ran towards the bathroom while Aashrit ran behind her.

She held the toilet seat to empty her stomach but nothing came out except for the cramps. She holds her stomach with one hand and seat with the other. Her stomach hurt and this feeling of vomiting was frustrating her even more.

Aashrit rubbed her back only for his hand to get removed by Meera. Meera stood up and went to the washbasin to wash her hands and face. Aashrit followed her and once she dried her hand with a towel, Aashrit held her in bridal style and a shriek left her mouth. She looked up at Aashrit and just put her head on his chest tired to walk or even move.

Aashrit settled her on the bed "I'll call the doctor." Aashrit said

"No," Meera shouted and another cramp hit her making her sigh in frustration.

Aashrit looked back at her " You don't look well to me."

Meera looked at him, clearly not in a condition to argue with him or anyone. She slid back down on the bed saying "It's periods. I am fine."

And on hearing her Aashrit's hand stopped and he looked back at her lying on the bed with her eyes closed, one hand on her forehead and the other clutching her stomach.

Aashrit left the room leaving Meera baffled and shocked. She looked at his back as he left. For a second, she felt bad that he left her like this and threw a pillow but then closed her eyes to calm down the raging cramp first.

After some moments, she felt her hand being removed from her stomach and opened her eyes to find Aashrit there. A hot water bag was put over her stomach which didn't just warm her stomach but her heart also.

" Is it paining somewhere else too?" Aashrit asked calmly looking into her eyes while raising her shirt and sliding the water bag in direct contact with her skin.

"My back." She said " And my head too." She continued.

Aashrit then brought the other water bag and put it under her back.

He gave her a chocolate which she denied "As much as I love chocolate, I don't think I could swallow anything right now."

Aashirt nodded and put the chocolate on the table.

He sat on the bed and put Meera's head on his lap while lightly massaging it. And after a massage of some minutes, Meera spoke "It's fine now Aashrit ji."

Aashrit nodded and checked the bag if they were hot enough and again put them on the charging once he felt them getting cold.

"Charge only one. My back feels fine now." Meera said in a low voice.

After the water bag got hot enough, Aashrit again put it on her stomach and laid beside her hugging her from behind.

"Can you put your legs on mine? It's hurting." Meera said and Aashrit moved towards her putting his legs over hers.

And Meera laid her head on his chest behind.

"Is it still hurting, Meera?" Aashrit said in a low voice kissing her neck and Meera leaned over him.

"A little in stomach and legs."

"Tell me if you need something." He said.

Meera didn't know whether it was her mood swings or her increasing crush on her husband when she said " Just some emotional support."

Aashrit's hand lightly pressed the water bag on her stomach and his legs tightened hers making a sigh escape her mouth. His hand was itching to touch her naked stomach but he suddenly didn't dare to do so.

He pressed a chaste kiss under her ear on her jaw and Meera's heart stopped "Then tell me how can I emotionally support you." He said kissing again on her jaw while continuing "I am a bit amateur in emotions."

Meera's face blushed on hearing him and she knew she couldn't face him at all. Her tongue got tied and she didn't know what to say as his sleepy voice sounded sexy to her.

She listened to her heart and said the words out loud "Just keep on doing what you are doing right now." She said with her eyes closed scared of his reaction.

"As you demand baby." He said and pressed kisses on her neck and jaw from behind while his hands were working well on her stomach as the hot water bag was removed.

But the word baby caught Meera's attention.

Aashrit was also shocked by his words and his hand stopped caressing her stomach but on getting no response he decided to go with the flow and put his lips over her neck.

Meera's heart skipped a beat again giving her a hope of normal relationship. Suddenly, all the incidents of the books she read came running to her mind and she said her thoughts out loud.

" Would you change the next morning?" She asked.

Aashrit was confused upon hearing her and asked " What?"

"I mean would you again start to act unknown from tomorrow morning."

"And why do you think so ?" He asked confused about her question.

" Because that's what happens in books."

Aashrit smiled at her innocent question and put his lips on her neck without saying a word and spoke after some time " It's not a book and nothing will change tomorrow. Now go to sleep." He said with a kiss on the side of her forehead.

Meera suddenly felt relaxed with his words and soon enough Aashrit heard soft snores.
