That night | Aditya x Nandini

      Aditya Karikalan just laid on his bed, staring at the ceiling. It wasn't new to him, the wall staring, as he has been finding himself doing it a lot of times after the war with Veer Pandey.

      Fighting in wars wasn't new to him. The blood, the pleading eyes, the clashing, the wounds, the deaths... Nothing. Fighting was like a second nature to him. But this war... This war had hit him differently. He was sleepless for many nights, the guilt consuming him. He felt like an idiot, a monster for whatever he did that night.

      He sat up and looked out of the window. He saw the moon and his mind quickly went to Nandini. Her moon like face, rose like lips, her ivory black hair falling over her shoulders or sometimes pulled up in a beautiful bun, her brown eyes...everything. Just then he remembered that night .

      | It was a rainy day. The war with the Pandeys was at it's peek. The king was nowhere to be seen. They were searching every corner of the forest surrounding the battlefield.

      At last after a long search he found a small hut in the middle of the forest.

      He ran to the hut and with powerful kick, he opened the door. The door opened and swinged back to it's place because of the force, he placed his hands on the door and swinged it open.

      The world slowed down as he was met with Nandini's brown eyes. This had been the first time they had seen each other after his parents had seperated them several years ago.

      He was lost in the memory. When he became aware of his surroundings. She was surrounded with different ayurvedic oinments and remedies. His eyes then darted to his left and saw the wounded man she was holding hands with. It was Raja Veer Pandey. Anger boiled in him. He was furious with only one question in his mind. 'How can she be in love with this old man after all that happened between us? '

      As soon as Nandini saw Karikalan she flung herself from the bedside and got to her knees in front of him. She joined both of her palms and begged him "please, spare him" "I beg you" With plead and fear in her eyes.

      Yet when he heard the word 'Nandini' utter from Veer Pandeyan's mouth, his blood boiled, he wasn't able to contain his anger, his jealousy, and he rushed toward the bed in which the wounded king laid and with a swift slash he ended the man. Nandini had screamed out loud but was drowsed in blood.

      As he remembered her scream a chill went down his spine, it was too painful

      In all the time him and Nandini had stayed together she had never once wished anything from him. And the one time she had asked something from him, he wasn't able to give it to her.
