HIS'S POV

I was standing in front of a building early in the morning, wearing a mask and cap, waiting for someone, and after a long wait, she arrived dressed in jeans and a hoodie. She was walking around wearing headphones and looking for someone. She struck a pose and looked to her right and left before beginning to cross the road. As I looked at her, I noticed how free she was from her chair. As she approached the orphanage, she smiled at the children and went to play with them; however, while playing with them, her shuttle became stuck on a tree branch.

She went and started to climb the tree, leaving me in amusement while I was just staring at her from a little distance. She threw the shuttle and was able to fall  from the tree branch, but I went and prevented her from falling; she fell into my arms with her eyes shut strongly. Not feeling anything, she opened her right eye to make sure she was safe. Opening both eyes, she looked deep into my eyes.

I put her down, she placed her hand

"Aaj to bach gye,aap" the children say, coming toward her and asking about her. She turns toward me while saying

"Thank you," but she was not able to find me. A frown appeared on her face. She looked here and there to find me, but all in vein. A girl around her age came forward and asked about her well-being and then started scolding her, but her eyes were searching for someone else, and then her eyes fell on the shining thing ground. She picked it up and looked at it, the simple shining gold chain with the initial A.

Aviraj Singh Rathore's POV

Finally, the wedding is over, and I am ready to return to work. While Choti Ma was telling Khushi about her muh dikhai, I received a call from my PA to attend an urgent meeting. I was about to go to the office when my father called to discuss something important. He wants us to give this marriage a chance, but I told him straightaway that I would not give her or this relationship a chance and went to work. Just because I don't want to risk her life, I need to keep my distance with her.

When I returned to my room after the meeting, I noticed Khushi sitting on the balcony, scrolling through her phone. I need to make it clear to her that she should not expect anything from me or our marriage. I sat on the bed and began to think. When she arrived, I approached her, grabbed her elbow, and told her what I wanted to say, but all I saw in her eyes was pain.

I expected her to cry, but she told me not to get involved in her affairs and to be loyal and respectful to her. Then she released herself from my grip and entered the restroom.

For some reason, I was angrier with myself than with her, but this is for her own good. The more she distances herself from me, the safer she will be. I let out a sigh and sat down. After a while, I noticed her emerge from the restroom, and she immediately went to the balcony and began doing something on her phone. I go sit beside her on the couch and begin gazing at the moon. I looked sideways at her and noticed her closed eyes. She exhaled and looked at me.
