ज़रूरी नहीं हर चाहत का मतलब इश्क ही हो कभी कभी अनजान रिश्तों के लिए भी दिल बेचैन हो जाता है ...
~Aviraaj S. Rathore ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Author's POV
Reluctantly, they separated from each other, their bodies still intertwined. Aviraaj's arms remained wrapped around her waist, not wanting to let go. He wished he could carry her on his shoulder all the way to his plane, but he respected her boundaries. In acknowledgment, she gently patted his back before releasing herself from his comforting embrace. Looking into his eyes, she blinked, assuring him that everything would be okay. A strange, unfamiliar feeling surged through her body, but she chose to ignore it. As she began to make her way towards her plane, he stopped her once again. This time, she was prepared to give him a piece of her mind, but he surprised both her and himself by planting a tender kiss on her forehead as if it were the most natural thing in the world. He softly whispered, "Take care," and her heart melted at his gesture. In response, she whispered back, "You too," and continued on her path.
As she walked away, her mind was filled with a whirlwind of emotions. Confusion, longing, and a sense of loss all mingled together, creating a storm within her. She couldn't deny the connection she felt with Aviraaj, the way his touch sent shivers down her spine and his presence made her feel safe and cherished. She tried to push aside these conflicting emotions, reminding herself of the reasons why they couldn't be together. The broken and scarred person she was didn't deserve a person like him in her life, nor did he deserve to get any less. It was a bittersweet realization, knowing that their connection was strong, but the circumstances were not in their favor.
Karan struggled to hide his laughter by coughing, prompting the urge in her to give him a good smack on the head. Feeling Aviraaj's gaze on her, she hurried to board the plane, feeling a bit flustered. Before leaving, she playfully smacked Karan on the back of his head, causing him to pout like a child. Despite this, they both shared a chuckle, with Aviraaj not missing the exchange.
Yet, as she boarded her plane and settled into her seat, she couldn't help but replay the tender moment they had shared. The way he had held her, the warmth of his kiss on her forehead, and the sincerity in his voice when he whispered those two simple words. It was a moment that would forever be etched in her memory.

I felt powerless as she made her way to the plane, my mind racing with irrational thoughts of causing a scene to prevent her from leaving. Despite trying to push those thoughts aside, they seemed more appealing when I caught sight of that young man from the club. Even though he showed no inappropriate interest in her, I couldn't bear the idea of any man being near her, except for me. I may sound possessive, but she brings out this primal instinct in me. When she playfully smacked his head and he sulked, only I knew the effort it took to resist the urge to follow her onto that plane.
