"You are feeling sleepy." She mumbled when I walked out of the washroom after a bath with hot water that made me so relax.
"I think so!" I said smiling at her while controlling my yawns and sat beside her on the bed where she is sitting down right now while staring at me.
She smiled taking hold of my hand and started slowly massaging my palm along with the fingers and I stared at her as she is concentrating seriously on my hands.
Why was I so stupid to not realize her feelings that day when she smiled so brightly at me and just connected with Vikranth?

*Prathap Pov*I opened my eyes hearing the alarm for the second time and found her sleeping face lying beside mine.I don't know how can she be this comfortable with me but yesterday night I thought I am watching some magazine cover or something instead of her just casually walking towards the bed from the washroom.Does she really wear these types generally or is it just to tease me? But if it is really for every day then every time I think about this will be nothing short of a heart attack as even though she is fully covered, I still remember her stance from the night.I shifted my eyes away from her face to the collarbone which is not at all covered because

I pointed out and now had to keep quiet as they started applying the lipstick after finishing the eyebrow makeup."This is not the place for us to have this discussion. First, finish this streaming, and let's go back to your place." She ordered and I can hear her stepping out of the Prathap's cabin which he gave us so that I can get a bit ready for the live we are going to do for the dishes hischefis going t

*Prathap Pov*Damn it! I thought staring at thecarthat is leaving thehousecompound while remembering her expression when she passed us. It was... was completely blank just like the one the person beside me is showing for sure.I have seen that look many times on Vikranth's wife's face but never tried to know the reason behind it. I turned to stare at her and found her staring back at me with the same look."I didn't mean it like that. Will she listen to me if I say that?"

*Anitha Pov*"Thank god! You are here on time.

I said turning away from the other patients."But you should have told me that you will be going early today..." I cut her off calling her name before taking a deepbreath."Didn't you say that you will make me your model for your clothes? For that, you should learn everything properly and not miss those classes again. I will be fine." I assured her before cutting the call and turned back to sit properly on the chair.
