She had never shown her caring side towards him and if she was now, that only meant one thing— She was starting to realise her feelings towards him and gosh, was I happy!
                          
“I am sorry that I did not inform you beforehand and I promise I will restock it today, just don’t be mad.” Slowly, but steadily, a grin broke down on my face and I stood up, hugging the daylights out of her.
                          
“Aww, I am so happy for you guys.” I gushed happily, as she pushed me away with a very little force, not wanting to hurt me in any way or form.
                          
“I sent him toilet papers and not marriage papers, Rosa.” She deadpanned, but a slight, very slight blush on her cheeks conveyed that what I said was true.
                          
“That day will be soon, don’t you worry.” I beamed.
                          
“What’s to worry about right now is toilet papers, it’s going to be very hectic at this time of the day.” 
                          
“Or we can just call a plumber and get a waterpipe installed, you know how they do it in Asia. That would be a hella lot of savings.” She stared, and stared, and stared, before blinking and then staring again.
                          
Okay? 
                          
“You are right, it’s more hygienic that way.” She agreed while nodding her head and walked away, probably to call a plumber and I pressed the play button and continued watching the movie.
                          
It had only been half an hour when I heard the bell going off, making me sigh and pause the movie, again. I did not hear the usual yell of Grace letting me know that she was opening the door which probably meant one thing— She was taking a shower, meaning, I had to go and open the door.
                          
“Coming!” I yelled and walked down the stairs, as quickly as I could, but that was still slow as I was not doing much walking nowadays.
                          
As I opened the door, a huge grin appeared on my face. Even though they were wearing a mask, it was easy to recognise them even with their dark eyes and just when I was about to tightly hug the person that was on the other side of the door, I was stopped by them as they took a few steps back, making me frown at their weird behaviour.
                          
“Let me hug you!” I groaned, but he shook his head before showing me his index finger indicating me to wait for a moment.
                          
I watched him skeptically as he removed the white raincot kind of an outfit which I didn’t even realise he was wearing because I was too happy to see him and threw it in the dustbin before doing the same with his hand gloves. Then, he quickly entered the house and shut the door behind him as if someone was chasing him, or something like Corona, removed his mask revealing his beautiful face and then hugged me tightly.
                          
Something for which I had waited too long.
                          
Oh God, I really missed him.
                          
“I missed you so much.” I mumbled against his neck as he pulled me even more closer and kissed my hair.
                          
“I missed you more.” Jesus, it had been two weeks.
                          
“It feels so surreal that you are here.” Slowly, we pulled away, but still remained close. His hands were resting against my waist and my hands were placed on his chest. My heart was beating so quickly right now and I couldn’t imagine myself staying away from him again.
                          
It was tough as it was and I didn’t think I could do it again.
                          
“You look healthy, Sunshine.” He said and kissed the top of my head, letting his lips linger there for few seconds before taking them off.
                          
“God, I really missed you.” I whispered and hugged him again, returning back to his warm embrace. He rubbed one of his hand up and down my back and with the other, he pressed my head even more towards his chest, making me let out a sob at the moment because I didn’t know how long would this last.
                          
“It’s okay, I am here now.” He whispered into my ear and we stayed like that for about a minute or two before pulling away.
                          
“But you will be gone soon.” I said, trying not to cry, but it was tough, God, it was tough.
                          
“I won’t.” I meet his eyes as he rubbed the tears away from my cheeks and kissed my forehead again. 
                          
“What do you mean?” I asked, as he grinned widely.
                          
“We will go through this pandemic together.” He beamed and pointed his finger towards the suitcase that he had brought along with him, which completely went unnoticed by my eyes.
                          
“I don’t think I can stay away from you anymore.” He mumbled and kissed my cheeks very close to my lips, making my stomach go crazy with all the feelings.
                          
“You are the best boyfriend ever.” 
                          
“I would be the best husband too.”
