An Unwanted Vow

Episode 17

Hey loves❤️!!
I hope you're all doing well! I know my story doesn't have a huge reach yet, but I've noticed a big gap between the read count and the vote count. It only takes a moment to tap the vote button, and it would mean so much to me.

I've also seen that there aren't many comments. I would really love to hear your thoughts .

Sometimes I feel like stopping this story. If this continues, I might have to end it.

RECAP

Arushi eyes widened in shock,and she frozen her place and she saw tattoo on Vivanth back neck .

(Episode-17)

Unknowingly, tears began to flow from Arushi's eyes as she saw the tattoo on Vivanth's back.

Vivanth didn't notice Arushi standing behind him and was about to move towards the bathroom. Suddenly, he felt a pair of hands sliding around his torso, hugging him tightly. He felt Arushi's body pressed against his back, sending a warm shiver through him. His eyes widened in surprise, and a gentle smile appeared on his face as he felt Arushi's lips on his back.

Gently, he touched her hands and slowly removed her grip from his torso, turning to face her while still holding her hands. Arushi felt confused and sad by his actions. Vivanth looked straight into her big, puffy, teary eyes, and unlike before, his eyes were now filled with deep love for her.

He softly placed Arushi's hands around his waist. Moving his hands to her face, he tenderly cupped her cheeks and wiped her tears with his thumb. He leaned in, kissed her forehead, and whispered, "I'm so sorry, rabbit. Please forgive me."

Arushi didn't respond with words. Instead, she placed her head on his chest and hugged him tightly, as if afraid he might be taken away from her. Vivanth responded by wrapping his arms around her, holding her close and letting the warmth of their embrace melt away the hurt and sadness.

Feeling his heartbeat, Arushi felt a sense of calm and safety. Vivanth stroked her hair gently and kissed the top of her head. He whispered softly, "I'll never let you feel insecure again, promise." She looked up at him with tear-filled eyes, and finally managed a small, trembling smile.

"Thank you," Arushi whispered softly, making Vivanth confused.

"Why?" Vivanth asked.She didn't respond, just hugged him tighter,with a small smile on her face.

Arushi, a 22-year-old software engineer at Accenture, had been working tirelessly for the past six months. Today was a significant day for her; she had an important presentation that would determine her hike and promotion. Arriving early at the office, she felt a mix of excitement and nerves, her heart racing with anticipation. After countless hours of preparation and sleepless nights, she finally delivered her presentation. Her ideas were met with approval, and she felt an overwhelming sense of joy and relief. She was on cloud nine, thrilled with her success, feeling like all her hard work had finally paid off.

Returning to her desk, she tied her hair into a bun and checked her phone, only to see ten missed calls from her grandmother. A wave of worry washed over her, her stomach knotting as she quickly dialed back.

"Hello, Nani? What happened? Why did you call so many times? Is everything alright?" she asked, her voice tinged with panic and fear.

"Hello, miss," a male voice responded on the other end.
