The cool breeze of the early morning ruffled Tara's hair as she stepped out of the room. She took a deep breath, feeling a mix of emotions swirl within her—excitement, anxiety, and a tinge of nervousness. It had been 20 days since she last walked into the office, and now she'll go back to her normal routine life.

The past 20 days had been nothing short of tumultuous for Tara. She had needed the break, no doubt. The silence between her and Reyansh had grown unbearable, each passing day a weight on her chest. The first 15 days were the hardest. She had spent countless nights tossing and turning, wondering where things had gone wrong, why they had drifted apart so suddenly. The pain of not hearing his voice, of not sharing their daily moments, had gnawed at her. Each day had felt like an eternity, the void Reyansh left behind too vast to fill.

But then, five days ago, everything changed.

Reyansh used to climb up to her room and used to sleep next to her and go back before she woke up.

A single text from Reyansh had shattered the silence. It was simple, almost casual: "Hey, how have you been?" Yet it carried the weight of all those days they hadn't spoken, the unspoken apologies, the longing they both felt. Tara had stared at the message for what felt like hours before finally replying.

From that moment, the walls they had built around themselves began to crumble. They talked about everything and nothing at the same time—how they missed each other, the little things that reminded them of one another, and how stupid they had been to let their egos get in the way. It felt like a fresh start, a chance to rebuild what they had almost lost.

But it wasn't just about talking. The last five days had been intense in a way that neither of them could have anticipated. Reyansh would come to Tara's house late at night, or she would slip away to his place. They couldn't keep their hands off each other. Every touch, every kiss was charged with the emotions of the past 15 days. They made up for lost time in the most intimate ways possible, finding solace in each other's arms.

Reyansh, the powerful, authoritative CEO in the office, became someone entirely different from her. Tara had always known there was more to him than the polished, composed exterior he showed the world, but these last few days had revealed a side of him that was raw, passionate, and deeply vulnerable. They didn't just talk; they made love, over and over, as if trying to erase the pain of their separation with every embrace.

As she walked into the office building, Tara felt a sense of anticipation. She had missed this—the bustling environment, the clicking of keyboards, the hum of conversations. But more than that, she had missed her friends, Ayush and Shriya. They had been her pillars of support during those difficult days, even though they had their own lives to manage. And now, knowing that Ayush and Shriya were together, everything felt even more connected, more meaningful.
