“Vaani?” Shivank’s voice was soft, but the worry in his tone was unmistakable as he noticed her tear-streaked face. Without thinking, he pulled her close, cupping her cheeks gently. But before he could say anything, Vaani crashed her lips against his, pulling him toward her with desperate force.

Shivank’s eyes widened in shock, and he instinctively pulled back. “Vaani, yeh—”

Her tear-filled eyes locked onto his, pleading. “Please, Shivank... bas mujhe kiss karo. Please.”

He hesitated for only a second before he cupped her face again and kissed her back, this time slower, more deliberate. His lips moved tenderly against hers, trying to convey the concern that words couldn’t.

When she winced slightly, he pulled back, his heart pounding with fear. “Vaani? Kya hua, Mamma?”

She couldn’t hold it together any longer. Vaani collapsed into his arms, clinging to him as though her life depended on it. Shivank held her tighter, rubbing her back in comforting circles, his own heart aching at the sight of her pain.

“Kya hua, Mamma? You’re scaring me. Kuch toh bol,” he whispered, trying to pull away so he could look at her, but she held on tighter, her sobs intensifying.

“Shivank, maine kuch nahi kiya... please, tumhe meri baat pe vishwas karna hoga. Please trust me,” she whispered, her voice breaking as she buried herself deeper into his chest.

“Vaani, main tumpe vishwas karta hoon. Tumhare bina toh main kuch nahi hoon,” he whispered back, brushing a soft kiss against her forehead. “Lekin tumhe shant hona hoga. Batao, kya hua?”

Vaani sniffed and placed her hand on Shivank's cheek, her eyes full of pain. “Prithvi... He... he kissed me…” Before she could say more, Shivank pressed the lift button, anger already building in his chest.

“Where?” he asked, his voice tight with fury.

“Wo... Shiva…” Vaani stammered, visibly shaking.
