Chapter 4 - Sleep Completely Disappeared

He is not worthy of you. He is not deserving of your tears. Jeev just came out after brushing his teeth. Hearing Nisha shouting, he goes towards the kitchen. He was standing there, listening to everything Nisha was saying. Nisha further says, "Look Vaani, he..."

 he doesn't love you.

 He doesn't love you at all. He left you years ago. Why don't you forget him and move on? You're still young, you'll find many boys. Just move on from him.

 Vani, still sitting there with her face buried in her hands, says,

 "No, I can't forget this person. And how can I forget what he did to me?"

 Nisha hugs her and Vaani says,

 "Jeev is growing up now. Sooner or later, he will definitely ask about his father-who he is, where he is. I can't escape every question, nor can I tell him the truth. Even today at the mall, he was comparing himself to his father. I get scared."

 People's words don't affect him, but even though he doesn't say it, he also feels the absence of his father. I

always handle everything by telling him that his father has gone abroad because of work, and as soon as his work is done, he will definitely come to meet us.

 Nisha, I'm scared. When he finds out that his dad doesn't love his mom, that he left her years ago, my child will be shattered. Jeev always draws pictures of his father and asks, "Does Papa look like my drawing? Will he like my drawing? Why doesn't he come to meet me?" I can't answer any of his questions.

 Apart from Jeev, I have no one. Years ago, I broke off all my relationships. If something happens to him, I won't be able to live. Nisha, I will die.

 Jeev is my only reason to live, Nisha. I can't lose him. What should I do? What should I do? I don't understand anything.

 Nisha comforts her, gives her some water, and after calming her down, says,

 "You can't give up like this. You have to be strong for Jeev. You can't become weak like this. You are the one who has to take care of him. Look…"

 Vani, Jeev loves you very much. He can never be upset with his mother. Be strong for your child, Vani. Now don't cry. You know, I actually like that grumpy person who is always ordering people around.

 Hearing this, Vani smiles. Truly, she could never find a friend who loves her like a sister, like Nisha does-someone who always stands by her in every difficulty.

 Nisha is the daughter of Vani's professor, Rema Ji. When Vani came to Shimla, she met her professor unexpectedly. The professor helped her a lot. She got Vani a job as a cardiologist in her friend's hospital and made her a partner.

 They got her an apartment to live in, and they considered Jeev as their own grandson. That's why Jeev used to call Nema Ji "Nani" (grandmother) and Nisha "Masi" (aunt). Nisha says to her, "Now go, Jeev must be fresh by now, put him to sleep. Otherwise, he won't sleep without you."

 Jeev, after hearing this, leaves from there. He goes to Vani's room, lies down on the bed, and closes his eyes. After a little while, he falls asleep. Vani was a bit surprised to see Jeev sleeping on the bed-he never slept without her, but today he fell asleep on his own. Then, she sits beside Jeev, covers him with a blanket, and gently strokes his hair. Vani smiles at this gesture. Jeev always...

 Jeev always had the habit of sleeping while hugging Vani. Vani kisses him on the forehead and softly whispers in his ear, "Good night, baby," then holds him close to her chest and falls asleep.

 On the other side,

 On the other side, sleep completely disappeared from Jai's eyes.He sat alone in his room, holding a glass of wine, just waiting for tomorrow. At that moment, there was no emotion on his face-he was completely expressionless. From his room, he could see the moon outside. Looking at the moon, it was as if he was threatening it, "Set quickly, or else I'll shoot you too and throw you into the ravine.

 He stayed awake like that the whole night. Otherwise, someone had already taken her away from him years ago. Without sleeping pills, he could never even sleep. Even when he did sleep, it was only for a few hours at most. He always remembered the night he spent with that girl and the slap she gave him.

 In the morning, unaware of Jay's intentions,vani was sleeping peacefully. The sound of the morning alarm woke her up. She got up, kissed Jeev on the forehead, and went to the washroom. After freshening up, she started preparing breakfast for herself and Jeev.
