Chapter 28

Unnaku Thaan❤️

Kashvi

I kept pacing in the living room, my eyes flicking toward the door every few seconds.

The moment I heard his car pull into the driveway,I didn’t think.

I ran.

The door opened.

Danish walked in, loosening his tie, running a hand through his hair.

Tired and clearly stressed.

Something felt off.

“What are you doing here?” he asked, his tone sharper than usual.

Before I could answer,

He was already walking past me, fast.

Distant.

“Weird,” I whispered under my breath, following him upstairs.

“I have a lot of work right now, Kashvi,” he said, not even looking at me as he moved toward the room. “Don’t disturb me.”

The words weren’t new but the tone was.

A few minutes later, he came out changed into black tee, lowers, sleeves slightly rolled.

Casual but his energy different.

I stopped at the door and watched him.

Then quietly turned and went downstairs to warm the milk.

He often skipped dinner, at least he could have that.

When I came back, he was already sitting, files scattered around him, flipping through them impatiently.

I placed the glass near him.

“Did I ask for this?” he snapped instantly. “And why the hell are you still awake?”

The words hit but I stayed quiet.

“And where the hell is my blue file?” he muttered, going through the stack aggressively.

I glanced down.

It was right there, in front of him.

That’s when it clicked.

Mom’s words.

“He’s not himself around his birthday.”

“Why are you just standing there?” he snapped again. “Kashvi-”

I inhaled slowly then walked toward him.

Before he could continue,I held his hands.

“What are you-just-”

I placed my finger on his lips.

“Shhh.”

The room fell silent.

His jaw clenched, his eyes locked onto mine, restrained but he didn’t push me away.

That was enough.

My fingers moved to his face, holding it gently, my thumb brushing against his skin.

“Take a deep breath.”

He looked like he was about to argue again but I didn’t look away.

He exhaled, not fully willing but enough.

“Close your eyes,” I said softly.

For a second,I thought he wouldn’t.

Then slowly, he did and for the first time since he walked in, he looked still.
