Author POV:

When Adrika wakes up in the morning, she sees that Abeer is lying on the couch and he is sleeping carefree. A little smile appeared on her face after seeing this. But then she remembers all about yesterday, although she still did not understand why those people took her because she got unconscious in one slap. Then she gets up from her bed and goes to the bathroom, only then she sees that her sleeves are torn and she gets scared at the sight. Then she remembers the face of that nasty man. She don't know, her tears come on their own. Then she takes a bath but instead of bathing she rubs her body. She wants to remove all the dirty touches from her body. Deep sobs escaped from her lips.

Abeer, who had shared a living space with Adrika but never truly connected with her. Abeer was sleeping then he listened some sound sobs and running water and then he looked towards the bed and found that the Adrika woke up then moved towards the washroom. When he was standing outside the washroom door he listened to Adrika's heartrending cries.

Then he called Adrika, "open the door Adrika" but she didn't open.
Then he tried once more but she wasn't replying then he turned the knob and he found Adrika curled up on the floor, her tear-stained face.

Overwhelmed with a sudden realization that he held the power to heal her wounded spirit, Abeer knelt beside her, his touch filled with tenderness.

He asked her," get up Adrika!!"
She didn't even move a single inch.
Then he stood up and grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her and held her wrist and pulled her towards himself then he said,"you should change now otherwise you'll catch cold".

She turned her face to the other side and tried to free herself from his grip.
He loses his hold and gets back to the room.
She changed her clothes. She was looking into the mirror, her entire face was red from crying. She tried to console herself and then she came into the room and saw Abeer, he was talking to someone on call actually he was shouting.

When Abeer saw Adrika came out of the washroom he wanted to talk with her. Adrika was applying hand cream then he came towards her and asked her,
"Can we talk".
She said, "yeah sure !!"
He took a deep breath, unsure of how Adrika would react. "Adrika, there's something important I need to tell you," he began, his voice shaky.

Adrika looked at him, her eyes filled with curiosity. "What is it, Sir?"

Then Abeer looked towards her and said,
"We are not in the office."

Then Adrika realised what she said he already warned her so many times that she should not call him sir.

He hesitated for a moment, searching for the right words. "I...I don't think I can love you as you deserve," he finally confessed, his voice barely above a whisper.

Adrika's face turned pale, and tears filled her eyes. "What do you mean, Abeer?

He said, "Adrika Mai tumse pyaar ka jhootha wada nhi kar sakta lekin hamesha tumko bachane ki koshish zaroor karunga. Tumhe mere hote hue koi bhi tumhara kuch bhi nahi payega." he completed.

Then Adrika started crying but what she could expect then she stood and Abeer held her wrist to stop her then he said,
"I don't mean that I don't care for you or that I want to leave. It's just that...I can only fulfill my duty as a husband".

Adrika pulled her hands away, a mix of emotions clouding her face. "So, what are you saying? That we should continue living this way, with you only fulfilling your duty?"

Abeer felt a pang of guilt at the pain he was causing her. "I don't know, Adrika. I wish I had all the answers, but I don't. All I know is that I can't force myself to feel something that isn't there."
