Lu Qiang’s duplex..
Jiang Yuyan came out of a bathroom after getting freshen up. Lu Qiang was waiting for her while sitting in a couch. She looked at him and walked in his direction. He stood up and asked her, "Are you feeling fresh now?"
She looked at him and nodded.
He walked towards her and said while observing her face carefully, "If you are not tired then I want to show you the best place in this duplex."
Jiang Yuyan shook her head and said "No! I am not tired."
Lu Qiang again offered her his hand which she accepted and both walked towards the staircase which was directing towards the terrace. Both walked upstairs. When they reached there, Jiang Yuyan saw a whole terrace was surrounded with huge glass walls and even it had a roof made up of a glass. There were beautiful decorative plants around with two comfortable and stylish convertible chairs in the center of the room which were placed side by side close to each other
Lu Qiang took her inside. Jiang Yuyan was looking around in the room and was amazed with its beauty. She looked up to the ceiling and her eyes were widely open, seeing the view above her head. While standing inside that glass room, she could see the beautiful, vast and dark sky with millions of bright stars in it.
Lu Qiang left her alone to see everything to her heart content and he moved towards the two convertible chairs in the center of the room. Lu Qiang converted both chairs in half sleeping position and looked back to her.
Every single moment, when he was able to make her smile, was like a trophy to him. Her smile, her laugh and giggle were the things he missed a lot and he wanted to make every single moment to makeup for all those missing moments.
Lu Qiang looked at her amazed and smiling face and he too had a pleasant smile on his face. All his efforts to make her happy were finally paying off.
Jiang Yuyan was still looking at the ceiling. Lu Qiang called her and asked her to sit on one of the chair.
She stepped forward and sat in the chair. Lu QIang too sat and leaned back with his legs stretched forward on that convertible chair. He was in a half sleeping position. Jiang Yuyan looked at him as she was just sitting on a corner of her chair, instead of lying down.
Lu Qiang was looking at the sky. He knew she was looking at him. He smiled and said without looking at her, "Be comfortable."
On hearing these words, she too laid down in the chair. While lying down, she could see the sky above clearly and comfortably without hurting her neck to look up continuously. It was pleasant to see the beautiful sky above while lying down.
Lu QIang look at her by moving his head to his right side. She was looking at the sky with pleasant expressions on her face.
Jiang Yuyan sensed his gaze on her and she too looked at him and smiled. There were no words needed to explain her happiness. The pleasant expressions on her face were enough to convey what she was feeling at that moment.
Both were smiling while looking at each other. Lu Qiang held her hand and interlock their fingers. He just wanted to stay there by holding her hand and seeing at the peaceful and beautiful starry sky. Jiang Yuyan too happily held his hand.
Both just kept silent and were looking at the sky. Lu Qiang loosened his grip in her hand and moved her hand towards his face and kissed the back side of her palm gently.
Jiang Yuyan looked at him and smiled. On seeing her looking at him, he again kissed her hand while looking in her eyes and this time it lasted for few more moments than before. She was just looking at him with her face blushing lightly.
He noticed that her eyes were sleepy. He stopped kissing and asked, "You look sleepy. Let’s go back to the room. There you can take a good rest."
Jiang Yuyan shook her head and said, "I want to stay here for a while."
Lu Qiang agreed and she continued looking at the sky.
After few moments Lu Qiang realised that she was quiet and he looked at her.
She was sleeping soundly with her eyes closed and was breathing steadily.
Lu Qiang again smiled to look at her, sleeping soundly like a baby without any worry in this world.
He got up from his chair while still holding her hand. He folded her hand, placed it on her her stomach and made sure she was in a deep sleep. He bent forward and lifted her in his arms. Then he walked out of the glass room and moved downstairs towards the bedroom.
He entered the bedroom while carrying her in his strong arms and put her down on the bed carefully as he didn’t want to wake her up. He placed her both hands straight on either side of her body and immediately straightened up her dress which moved slightly up from her knees, when he was laying her down on the bed. He took out sandals from her feet and put them near the bed in one corner. Then he covered her in a quilt upto her stomach.
He then sat on the corner of the bed near her half upper body and put one pillow below her head properly. He held her head up in his hands and loosened the bun of her hairs on the back side of her head. He opened her hairs completely and moved them to the one side of her neck and shoulders so that she can sleep comfortably.
He kissed on her forehead and stood up from the bed. He removed his jacket and hanged it on the hanger. Then he went to the wardrobe, took out the set of white cotton shirt and pajama and went to bathroom to freshen up.
He came out of the bathroom after sometime and straight moved towards the bed. He picked up one pillow from it and stepped towards the couch. He put the pillow on the couch, switched off the lights except for the night lamp. Then, he moved back to the couch and slept on it. The couch was parallel to the bed.
Though It was quite dark, Lu Qiang was able to see Jiang Yuyan’s face clearly in the dim light of night lamp. Also the couch was not much far and as it was parallel to the bed, which made him feel like sleeping beside her.
He was just staring at her beautiful face with pleasant smile on his face. He too fell asleep after a while.
In the late midnight, Lu Qiang heard a voice which made him wake up from his sleep but he didn’t opened his eyes as he was not completely awake. In his half sleepy condition, he felt that someone was crying and sobbing in a low voice. Just in a moment he realised that, it was Jiang Yuyan’s voice. He immediately opened his eyes in a shock and looked in the direction of the bed..
