"Umra bhar ki tu talash hai , Zindagi tu he toh khaas hai,
Tu hai toh khwabo jaise din, Tu hai toh raat afsanaaa.
Ke har lamha karu haske, Mere rab ka mai sukharana.
Tu humdum humdum hai janaa, Mere dil ka mere dil."
The song played softly in the background, its tender melody weaving through the air, and for a fleeting moment, it felt as though it was made just for us, for him.
Yet, the bittersweet truth lingered,we were nothing more than close friends.
I longed to make it something more, something deeper, something real.
But the thought brought a wave of uncertainty crashing over me.
The fear of being hurt again, of being left stranded in the middle of chaos, held me back. Could I risk my heart once more for something that might never be?
Ivey was fully focused on the road, his hands steady on the wheel, while I sat beside him, gazing out at the world blurred by the gentle rain but my eyes couldn't help stealing glances at him every so often.
We hadn't eaten since morning, having rushed to leave the camp due to the warning of heavy rainfall and worsening weather.
My stomach growled in protest, but somehow, watching him made me feel oddly content almost as if it was enough to sustain me.
How can someone look so effortlessly beautiful while driving? The way his jaw tensed slightly in concentration, the faint curl of his lips, the way his fingers gripped the wheel, it was mesmerizing.
I had an overwhelming urge to reach over and pepper soft kisses across his cheeks, to entwine my fingers with his and silently promise never to let go.
I didn't just want him as a friend or even a best friend. No, my feelings for him ran deeper now.
Ever since that terrifying night he got lost in the forest, I've felt this ache,this sharp, undeniable fear of losing him.
That night, my heart raced like never before, and I was gasping for air, consumed by thoughts of what if.
And now, as the rain fell lightly around us, my heart spoke a truth I couldn't deny, I didn't just want him in my life. I wanted him to be mine.
After Danny, he's the only man I've ever felt this close to, not even Swayam or my own father could come this close to my heart and soul .
"Ritu?" he asked, glancing at me briefly before focusing back on the road.
"Yes, Mr. Beauty," I replied with a mischievous grin.
He frowned, his expression a mix of confusion and curiosity. "Excuse me?"
