KGF

Chapter - 40

Weeks passed Rocky and Aaria’s tense relationship continues, both of them keeping their distance and avoiding each other.

With each passing day, Rocky and Aaria grow more distant. They try to stay away from each other as much as possible, avoiding any sort of interaction or communication.

Their once close friendship has been replaced by an air of animosity and strained conversations.

Mishti and Rohan can feel the tension between them and try to encourage them to talk it out, but their pleas fall on deaf ears.

Aaira got out from Washroom Changing into Comfortable clothes as when her hand Hit on the cupboard and An Album Falled down.

Aaria bends down to pick up the album, her fingers brushing against the cover...It was Rocky and Reena’s Wedding Album.

She opens it and started looking Through the Pictures of Reena and Rocky on Their Wedding Day Reena Was looking so beautiful.

Aaria feel a pang of nostalgia as she looked at the photos... She do miss old days especially Reena.

No matter What But she never hated or felt jealous from Reena... because Since The first meet she was an amazing girl...her first Girl best friend.. it's true That Reena and her unborn child didn't deserve the ending
they got.

Suddenly, the door opens and Rocky entered the Room with food plate.

Rocky stopped in the doorway, seeing Aaria holding the wedding album. Emotions flashed across his face, but he quickly masked it with a poker face.

He walked over to Aaria and stood beside her keeping the plate on side table before looking at the album in her lap. as Aaira looked up

“What???” 

Rocky's gaze was fixed on the album, his expression unreadable. After a moment, he spoke, his voice hoarse.

“Why were you looking at that??”

Aaria hesitated for a moment before responding, her voice soft.

“I was just cleaning, and it fell. I...um... It’s my friend Reena’s Wedding Album I can
see it whenever I want.”

Rocky nodded, his eyes still on the photos.
“Yeah, it is.”

He was silent for a moment, his thoughts swirling with memories..as he flip the page and there was haldi picture in one of them Him and Aaira playing with haldi

Aaria’s eyes widened as she looked at the picture. It was a photo from haldi ceremony, both of them smiling and laughing as they played with the yellow turmeric paste Reena and everyone stood their playing haldi as well.

A small, bittersweet smile tugged at Rocky's lips as he looked at the photo. He traced the figures of Reena and Aaira with his finger, his touch gentle.

“I still don’t know What was my mistake...that one by one I Lose each of them in the way Of Saving them...”

Aaria looked up at him, hearing the sadness in his voice. She could see the exhaustion and weariness etched on his face.

“You haven't lost me...”

She said quietly, her heart heavy.
Rocky’s head snapped up, his eyes meeting hers.

“Haven't I? It feels like it.” His expression was guarded, but she could see the flicker of pain and vulnerability in his eyes.

Aaria swallowed, her heart skipping a beat. She longed to reach out and comfort him, to tell him that she was still here, that she would always be there for him.

But the distance between them felt unbridgeable as looked back.

Rocky's gaze flicked back to the photo, his mind lost in memories of the past. He spoke softly, his voice tinged with nostalgia.

“Sometimes...I wish I could go back to those simpler times. When everything was so uncomplicated And everyone was still together.”

Aaria silently agreed, feeling a pang of Nostalgia herself. She missed those days too.

“Those times...they were good, weren't they?”

Rocky's eyes remained fixed on the photo, his voice a mere whisper.

“Yes. They were good.”

His throat tightened as he struggled to hold back the flood of emotions that threatened to overwhelm him

The silence in the room was thick with unspoken words and unresolved emotions. They stood there for a moment, lost in their own thoughts.

Finally, Rocky cleared his throat and spoke again, his voice rougher than before.

“you didn't ate dinner so Mishthi me to give you dinner..”

Aaira looked At The table and there was Chicken,dal and chawal.

"Mishthi Made this??"

" I don't know...I should go."

Aaria nodded, her heart clenching. She wanted to say more, to reach out and bring back the closeness they once had. But she couldn't find the words.   

She watched as Rocky closed the album and placed it back on the shelf. He turned to leave, but before he reached the door, he stopped. He looked over his shoulder, his eyes locking with hers for a brief moment.

“Goodnight...” 

Aaria’s heart skipped a beat as she looked  at him, a mix of emotions swirling in her chest. She wanted to say something, anything, but the words died on her lips as she stayed silent and he left. 

The door slammed shut, causing Aaria to come out of her thoughts. She was left alone in the room, the silence deafening.

As Slowly took the food plate before mixing dal chawal with chicken as she slowly ate it...It was tasty and delicious Gotta say this Misthi is learner.

After eating the dinner she Washed her hand before She sunk down onto the bed.

For a moment, she laid there her eyes opened wide lost thought. The distance between them felt like an abyss, deep and unbridgeable. Her mind replayed their silent exchange and the brief moment when their eyes had met, filled with unspoken words and emotions.
