Chapter 8

As Arjun slept on the couch, he felt a gentle weight on his lap. He opened his eyes to find Mira sleeping peacefully, her hand grasping his as if she'd never let go. Arjun's senses were overwhelmed by the sight of her, but he carefully lifted her into his arms, cradling her like a child, and laid her back in bed.

Mira's grip on his hand remained tight, even in sleep, as if she'd held on for life. Arjun couldn't help but blush and smile at the sight, his heart swelling with affection. Mira looked like an innocent child, her face serene and tranquil.

Arjun sat beside her on the bed, watching her sleep, mesmerized by the gentle rise and fall of her chest. Her breath seemed to give him life, and he felt his heart fill with love and gratitude. He couldn't have asked for more than this moment, with Mira by his side, trusting him completely.

As he gazed at her, Arjun felt his love for Mira deepen, his connection to her strengthening with every passing moment. He knew he'd do anything to protect and care for her, to be the safe haven where she could always find peace.

Arjun couldn't sleep the whole night, even if he tried to. He was falling for Mira deeper and deeper, and the thought of being without her felt like his life would come to a standstill. As he lay there, he felt his heart beating solely for her, his every breath drawn in sync with hers.

Despite his exhaustion, Arjun's mind raced with thoughts of Mira, his feelings for her growing stronger with each passing moment. He couldn't shake the sense that his life had become inextricably linked with hers, and the thought of losing her was unbearable.

As the night wore on, Arjun's eyelids grew heavy, but his heart remained wide awake, filled with the gentle glow of his love for Mira. He knew he was falling deeply in love with her, and the realization brought a sense of peace and contentment that he'd never known before.

As the morning sunlight streamed through the window, Mira slowly opened her eyes, her gaze fluttering around the room until it landed on Arjun's peaceful face. He was sitting beside her, his eyes closed, a soft smile on his lips.

Mira's heart skipped a beat as she remembered the previous night's events. She had fallen asleep on his lap, and he had carried her to bed, holding her close. The memory of his gentle touch and caring eyes made her feel warm inside.

She tried to sit up, but a gentle hand on her shoulder restrained her. "Good morning," Arjun whispered, his voice husky with sleep. "How are you feeling?"

Mira smiled, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'm fine...thank you for taking care of me."

Arjun's eyes crinkled at the corners as he smiled. "Anytime, Mira. You're safe with me."

As they locked eyes, Mira felt a spark of connection, a sense of belonging she couldn't ignore. She knew at that moment that her feelings for Arjun went far beyond.

Arjun's gaze held hers for a moment longer, then he smiled and stood up. "I'll get you some breakfast," he said, his voice gentle.

Mira nodded, feeling a little shy but also happy. She watched as Arjun walked out of the room, his broad shoulders and confident stride making her heart skip a beat.

As she waited for him to return, Mira couldn't help but think about the way Arjun had taken care of her the night before. The way he had held her, comforted her, and made her feel safe. It was a new side of him, one she hadn't seen before, and it drew her to him even more.

When Arjun returned with a tray of steaming hot coffee and toast, Mira's heart swelled with gratitude. "Thank you," she said, taking a sip of the coffee.
