Chapter 337

She changed into her night gown and tied the robe around it and stepped out of the bathroom. She was completely surprised to see Pryag comfortably settled on the bed with the pillows raised and with his hands behind his head and watching TV. He smiled and said, "Hi. I thought I will stop by and surprise you. I got you something." He extended his hand and pointed the small gift that was about the size of the palm that was on the table next to the night stand. "I hope you like it." She was surprised to see him there and she paused for a minute and picked up the gift and opened it. It was a beautiful pearl earring. Her eyes widned and she smiled and said, "Oh! These are beautiful. Thank you." She continued to stare at them and examine them with wide and happy eyes. He extended his hand and said, "Come on sit next to me. It really makes me happy to see you happy." She crawled over from the other side of the bed and sat next to him resting on her head on his arms. She gave a kiss on his cheek and said, "Thank you. I love it. But why?" He smiled and said, "I wanted to give it to you after we got married, but I couldn't wait so there you go..." and smiled. He continued, "I feel so happy being with you. It is something I can't really explain. That's how I feel. I guess you probably know that too" and kissed her on her forehead. She didn't say anything and just smiled. They continued to watch the Cosby show that was running and were laughing along with it.

It was a Cosby show marathon and it continued for about a couple of hours and she was starting to feel sleepy. She turned towards him and said while yawning, "I think we should go to bed. It is getting late." He nodded and kissed her again on her forehead and turned the TV off and gently slid down the bed. She looked up and said, "You can't sleep here." He was not planning to stay there but her words got him a bit defensive. He asked, "Why not? You don't trust me?" She replied, "That is not the point but...." He interrupted her by asking, "But what? Either you don't trust me or you don't trust yourself." She starred at him. Her eyes were not sleepy anymore. They were more concerned and puzzled. He said, "I had no intention of staying here in the first place. I was going to go to the guest room anyway." She asked, "Then why are we even having this conversation?" He said, "But the tone in your voice and the way you asked ..." She said, "What do you mean?" He said, "You know what. It doesn't matter. We are both tired and this is unnecessary. Good Night". He pushed the comforter away and tried to leave. She said, "I don't want to leave anything unresolved. Tell me what is on your mind." He smiled and said, "It's nothing. Nothing at all. Seen you in the morning." He left and she starred at him leave the room. She couldn't sleep. She ran their conversation in her mind. She wondered about what he said. She said to herself, "What does he mean the way I said it. He is crazy. I am not going to think about it. This is not worth it." She turned around and buried herself in her bed.
