Days passed, and Theodore found himself increasingly captivated by Saraswati. He began to keep tabs on her, drawn to her simplicity and grace, often thinking of her to find solace amid the chaos of his demanding life. One particularly grueling day, burdened by back-to-back meetings and mounting frustration, he found himself yearning for her calming presence.

Unable to resist, Theodore drove to Saraswati's dorm, his mind a whirlwind of stress and longing. He wore a mask to conceal his identity, his heart pounding as he approached the gate security. "Please, call Saraswati. Tell her someone is here to see her," he requested, his voice low and urgent.

The security guard eyed him suspiciously but complied, dialing Saraswati's number. Moments later, she emerged from the building, her expression a mix of confusion and fear as she spotted the masked figure waiting for her.

"Theodore?" she whispered, unsure and apprehensive.

Without a word, Theodore stepped forward and enveloped her in a tight embrace, the tension in his body melting away the moment he felt her in his arms. Startled, Saraswati gasped but instinctively wrapped her arms around him, sensing his need for comfort.

"I don't care," he replied, his gaze intense. "Being with you is all that matters right now."

She sighed softly, her heart swelling with a mix of emotions. "Theo, you need to be careful. But I'm glad you're here."

He gently cupped her face, his eyes locking with hers. "Saras, you have no idea how much you mean to me. Just seeing you, holding you, makes everything better."

She smiled, her fear dissipating as she saw the sincerity in his eyes. "I'm here for you as a well wisher, Theo. Always."

They stood there for a moment longer, wrapped in each other's arms, finding solace in their connection. The world outside ceased to exist, and in that embrace, they found a sanctuary from the chaos of their lives.

Saraswati stepped out of her dorm, her heart pounding with a mix of curiosity and apprehension. She wore a simple yet elegant Indian kurti, a soft sky-blue fabric adorned with delicate white embroidery along the neckline and sleeves. The kurti flowed down to her knees, paired with crisp white leggings that hugged her slender legs. Her dupatta, a matching blue with a subtle silver border, draped casually over her shoulders. 

As she approached the gate, her eyes widened in astonishment when she recognized Theodore, despite the mask partially obscuring his face. The sight of the trillionaire standing there, waiting for her, was surreal. Her expression mirrored her shock – eyes wide, mouth slightly agape, her breath catching in her throat. She couldn't comprehend why someone of his stature would come to see her, especially in such a clandestine manner.

"Theodore?" she whispered, her voice trembling with uncertainty and confusion.

Before she could process further, Theodore stepped forward and enveloped her in a tight embrace. Her body stiffened momentarily, the suddenness of his action taking her by surprise. But as his arms wrapped around her, she felt the desperation and need in his embrace, and her heart softened.

"Theodore, what are you doing here?" she asked softly, her voice trembling slightly.

He held her closer, breathing in her soothing scent, feeling the chaos of his day slowly dissipate. "I needed to see you," he confessed, his voice muffled against her hair. 

Saraswati pulled back slightly, looking up at him with concern in her eyes. "You shouldn't be here like this. What if someone recognizes you?"

"Why... why are you here?" she stammered, her mind racing. "You're a trillionaire... and you're here, at my dorm?"

His voice, muffled against her hair, was filled with raw emotion. "I needed to see you, Saraswati. Work has been overwhelming, and you're the only one who can calm me."

Her initial shock began to give way to a whirlwind of emotions – disbelief, concern, and an unexpected tenderness. She pulled back slightly to look at him, her eyes searching his for answers. "But Theo, you have everything. Why come to me? Where is Ms. Aria?"

He cupped her face gently, his eyes pleading and sincere. "Because you are my everything right now. Your simplicity, your kindness, your presence... it means more to me than all my wealth. About Aria, she was and is nothing to me." 

Saraswati's heart fluttered at his words, a mixture of awe and confusion swirling within her. She never imagined someone like Theodore, with all his power and riches, would find solace in her. Her agitated expression softened as she saw the vulnerability in his eyes, realizing that beneath his powerful exterior was a man seeking genuine connection and peace.

Now she could sense the behaviour of Aria towards her, her accusations

Did she think that I am the reason behind her and Theo’d rift or …separation?

No way!

We have nothing in between just …just..

What?

What is between you and him?

DO you think everyone fool?

A multi billionaire talking to you freely and meeting frequently?

People take months to get his appointment and here he is in front of you, just because he was tired of his work…

"Theodore, this is... it's unbelievable," she whispered, her voice tinged with wonder.

“You should see the time and around….How can I help you? You should ask Ms. Aria or any family member

He smiled softly, brushing a strand of hair away from her face. "Believe it, Saras. I need you. More than you'll ever know."

She was shaken and gulped hard as it was first time she noticed a tinge of feeling of darkness which was ready to consume her

In that moment, the barriers between their worlds seemed to dissolve. Saraswati's feelings shifted from shock to a deep, empathetic understanding. She felt a profound connection to him, recognizing the humanity that transcended their different lives. The trillionaire and the simple girl stood together, finding a rare and precious bond in each other's presence.

“I want to confess…..Saras.”

I love You?
