The next day Shreyas woke up in the morning after getting ready he walked out to see Nayan making coffee in the kitchen.
He went inside and stood beside her, thinking about how to start.
Nayan sensing his presence behind her, asked without turning back.
" Do you need something ?" Her voice was colder than usual, which didn't go unnoticed by him.
" I … Mein vo bol .. raha tha ki …." He scratches the back of his neck looking here and there to find the right word. ( I. I want to say . ...)
" Aap vo kya ." She asked, finally turning back and giving him the attention he wanted.
( You what ?)
" Nayan, I'm sorry for yesterday's behavior. It was just the heat of the moment " he finally said, voice laced with guilt and concern.
" Will you sorry can retrieve the hurt that I felt? " She said looking straight into his eyes, which clearly showed how hurt she was yesterday.
" I will make it up please just forgive me " The man who never let his guard down after that incident is again letting his guard down just for her.
He had never felt anything like this after her.
But here we are, Nayan is again making him feel those feelings which he forbade himself to feel.
Without any more discussion, she passed him the cup of coffee and went to her room to get ready for college.
She came after a few minutes, took her things and straight went out but he stopped at the door.
" I'll drop you " he insisted as she didn't object to anything and quietly sat on the passenger seat.
The ride to the college was silent, he tried to initiate the conversation but she didn't participate in it.
He stopped the car a few buildings earlier to her college as she asked him because she did not want anyone to catch them together.
He also understood her concern. Mehek was already present there as she hugged her after getting out of the car and walked forward.
Shreyas waved his hand as Nayan walked away, but she didn’t notice and continued on her way, lost in her thoughts. He sighed, lowering his hand, and watched her retreating figure for a moment before turning toward his car.
As he drove to the office, his mind remained preoccupied with her. He replayed their earlier conversation, wondering as she was just distant from yesterday's incident. Either way, he felt the urge to make it up to her, but he was at a loss for how to do so.
Sitting at his desk, Shreyas tried to focus on the reports in front of him, but the thoughts of Nayan refused to leave him alone. His pen hovered above the paper as his mind wandered until a knock on the door snapped him back to the present.
