TYTS - A Love Story With Twist

Another Party and discomfort

A few days later, Yuvraj and Tarini hosted another gathering at their home. As guests mingled and enjoyed drinks, Yuvraj approached Tarini with a glass of wine in hand. He smiled warmly and placed a hand on her lower back, leaning in to kiss her cheek.

"Darling, you look absolutely radiant tonight," he whispered, loud enough for their nearby friends to overhear.

Tarini felt a pang of discomfort as Yuvraj's touch lingered a moment longer than usual. She smiled awkwardly, trying to maintain composure amidst the attention. She gently moved away, taking a sip of her wine to mask her unease.

Their friends noticed the exchange, offering compliments on Tarini's appearance. Yuvraj beamed proudly, his arm slipping around her waist possessively as he spoke about how lucky he felt to have her by his side.

One of their friends, Maya, leaned in to Tarini, whispering, "You two are so sweet together. Yuvraj just adores you."

Tarini forced a smile, feeling the weight of Maya's words. "Thank you, Maya. It's... nice of him."

Another guest, Rohan, chuckled as he observed Yuvraj's public display of affection. "Looks like Yuvraj can't keep his hands off you, Tarini. You must be the envy of everyone here."

Tarini's discomfort grew as the evening progressed. She caught glimpses of curious glances from some guests, making her feel scrutinized and exposed. Yuvraj's affectionate gestures, once endearing, now felt suffocating in front of others.

During a lull in conversation, Tarini subtly edged away from Yuvraj, excusing herself to freshen her drink in the kitchen. She took a moment to collect herself, steadying her breaths as she leaned against the countertop. She knew she needed to address this issue once and for all.

When Yuvraj found her a few minutes later, he attempted to wrap his arms around her waist again. "Darling, are you okay? You seemed a bit distant just now."

Tarini gently stepped out of his reach, meeting his eyes with a mixture of resolve and vulnerability. "Yuvraj, can we talk for a moment?"

His brow furrowed slightly, sensing the seriousness in her tone. "Of course, Tarini. What's wrong?"

She took a deep breath, choosing her words carefully. "I appreciate your affection, but I feel uncomfortable when you're overly affectionate in front of others. It's important to me to have some space and privacy in our interactions."

Yuvraj's expression faltered, a hint of defensiveness creeping into his voice. "But Tarini, I just want everyone to see how much I love you."

"I know," Tarini replied softly, her voice steady. "And I love you too. But I need you to respect my boundaries, especially in social settings. Can we find a way to compromise on this?"

Yuvraj sighed, realizing the impact of his actions on Tarini. He nodded slowly, his gaze softening with understanding. "I'm sorry, Tarini. I didn't realize how uncomfortable I was making you feel. I'll do better."

Tarini smiled gratefully, relieved to have finally expressed her feelings. She leaned in to kiss Yuvraj's cheek, a silent reassurance of their love and commitment to understanding each other's needs.
