AUTHOR'S...P.O.V...

"Hmm," she frowned slightly as he began to move. "Look, Sweetheart, I cannot back out from my words, but you are also my beautiful priority. Lo chhupa liya tumhe aankho mein" he said, throwing the dupatta above them, covering them both. He then closed his eyes, as if to shield her from the world.

She looked at him with a soft gaze, feeling the warmth of his gesture, a small smile crept on her lips as her heart fluttering at the thought of being so cherished but at the same time it wrenched back badly as her mind again drifted back to that morning and her eyes glossed immediately for still hiding the truth from him

" Y-Ye paap hai Aashi , I- I have done a sin . This should never have happened "She cried , palming her face while her friend tried to console " No ! No ! Please , relax, Ishu . It is not . You never wanted to do this it is just a mistake "

She looked up at him with tears brimming in her eyes, a faint sob escaping her lips. But before the pain could fully surface, she quickly swallowed it down, refusing to let it overwhelm her. Firmly, she thought to herself, "No, it was just a mistake, Isha. You cannot ruin your present because of one mistake "

With a firm nod, she wiped away the lone tear that had fallen down her cheek. She took another step toward him, determined to move forward. But once again, her steps faltered, her courage wavering as the memory of that morning rushed back into her mind

"I-I want to go to the hospital, Aashi," she cried out, her voice shaky and trembling under the weight of her guilt. Tears streamed down her face as her body quivered, overwhelmed by the consequences of her actions.Her friend, Aashi, immediately rebuked her, her voice sharp with disbelief. "Are you out of your mind, Isha? Now, nothing will be confirmed. And it was just once-I don't think-"

"No! No! I want to go! . What if something really happens? I don't want to take risk" Isha shouted, her voice cracking as she stood there, dishevelled and on the verge of breaking down. Her hands trembled, and her tear-filled eyes pleaded for an escape, her emotions unravelling uncontrollably.

Aashi, trying to comfort her, gently held her shoulders and said, "It's okay, Isha. It just happened. There's nothing wrong in it-"

But Isha's panicked expression only deepened, the words offering no solace . "It is wrong for me, Aashu," Isha cried out sharply, her voice thick with pain. "Ho-How will I face Baba after this?" The weight of her guilt and fear crashed down, overwhelming her completely. She collapsed into her friend's embrace, sobbing uncontrollably, her heart breaking under the pressure of the consequences she dreaded.

Aashi tightened her arms around her, whispering comforting words, but Isha's tears wouldn't stop. The thought of disappointing her father was unbearable, and she felt utterly lost in the storm of her emotions

" I hate this place " She whispered , crying miserably

" Stop it Isha .You cannot stick to the past forever " She angrily whispered to herself , and harshly whipped away the tears and with a nod , she walked over him " This is my life now .I have a husband and I will overcome this fear for him , only for him " She firmly thought and smiled at him , walking more ahead
