Where Love Leads

|17| Leaving again

Nareen pleaded earnestly, his eyes resembling puppy-dog eyes, urging Ravya to stay and try to recollect her memories in Indore. They were sitting together in the living room when Nareen made his heartfelt request, "Please stay, maybe you'll remember something here."

Having just returned from the Singer's place, they had updated everyone on recent events. Ravya was set to leave the next day, accompanied by Aarav, who sat beside her in the living room.

Seeing tears welling up in Nareen's eyes, Kajal attempted to convince him that Ravya needed to return to Mumbai because her memory functioned better there, emphasizing that Aarav would take good care of her. "Nareen, Sis Aaru has to leave because her memory can only work in Mumbai. Don't you trust Aarav to take care of her?"

Although Nareen appeared dissatisfied, he nodded slightly, puffing his lips in resignation.

The children, who had been sitting on the carpet, stood up and rushed to Ravya, enveloping her in a tight group hug. Their embraces were warm and filled with affection, conveying their fondness for her in that heartfelt moment.

Nareen brought Aarav and Ravya together, gently clasping their hands, and earnestly appealed to Aarav to take good care of Ravya, who held immense importance in their lives. He emphasized their deep affection for her, urging, "Please take care of my mama because she means a lot to all of us, and we love her so much. Don't ever hurt her."

Ravya couldn't help but smile despite her tears as she glanced at Aarav. Her smile was soft and gentle, a mix of emotions expressed through the shimmer in her eyes and the curve of her lips. It carried a sense of gratitude, warmth, and appreciation for the bond they all shared.

Aarav gazed at Nareen with determination, pledging to do everything within his capabilities to ensure Ravya's happiness and shield her from any distress or sorrow. His firm promise extended to the other saddened children, assuring them of his commitment.

"I will do my best to make sure she's always happy and never feels any worry or sadness," Aarav affirmed, his words brimming with sincerity and resolve.

Nareen enveloped both Aarav and Ravya in a tight hug, expressing his affection and admiration for them, "You both are so special to me. I love you."

Pramitra noticed Ravya staring at Aarav and observed a mix of emotions on Ravya's face. Despite tears in her eyes, Pramitra smiled warmly, recognizing the depth of emotions between the two. Ravya's gaze held a blend of gratitude, fondness, and a hint of something more profound, which didn't escape Pramitra's notice.
