"Don't tell me you quite smoking beacause of her." His friend asked while looking at him.

"Trust me! you can handle only one addiction at a time" he said while looking at his arranged wife giggling face who was seating in another table, busy talking to her friend

Dhruv's fingers traced lightly over her arms and started moving up sending a shiver through her his touch was gentle yet purposeful. When his finger reached the back of her neck she couldn't stop herself from shivering again and she tightly clutched the bedsheet while looking down not able to look in his eyes.

Dhruv noticed every subtle movement, every reaction of her. His eyes were fixed on her watching the way she was responding to his touch. Just as he was about to say something few droplets pf water from his damp hair fell onto her lips.

Manvi froze her lips parting slightly in surprise. Dhruv's eye's flicked down catching the sight of those tiny droplets glistening on her lips. His gaze lingered there intense and uncontrollable. The atmosphere between them growing thick with unspoken tension and the only thing anyone could hear is their loud breathing sounds.

Dhruv couldn't help himself. His hand moved almost on its own, his fingers gently brushing against her face as his thumb traced over her lips and slowly wiping away the tiny droplets of water. The touch was soft almost tender yet it carried an intensity that made Manvi's heart race.

Her lips shivered under his thumb the sensation sending a jolt through her. She tried to steady her breathing but the closeness between them made it impossible. Dhruv's gaze never moved locked onto hers with a look so deep it seemed to pierce right through her.

His thumb lingered for a moment longer before he slowly pulled his hand back his eyes still fixed on her, his expression unreadable. The tension in the air was almost suffocating, leaving both of them unsure of what could happen next.

Dhruv didn't know what came into his mind and before he could even realized it, his thumb which was still wet from the droplets of water brushed over his own lips. The action was intimating almost subconscious yet it carried a weight that neither of them could ignore.

Manvi's eye's widened as she watched him, her breath catching in her throat. The intimacy of the moment was overwhelming leaving her froze in place. Dhruv's gaze remained locked on hers. He seemed momentarily lost in the act, his mind swirling with emotions he couldn't quite understand. There was something about her presence the way her lips trembled under his touch the way she was taking deep breaths making him to lost it.

Suddenly, Dhruv realized what he had just done. His eyes widened in shock and he quickly shut them tight frustration washing over him like a wave.

He cursed himself under his breath feeling the weight of his actions. "What the hell am I doing?" he thought anger bubbling inside him. He couldn't believe he had lost control like that. All it took was a simple moment and everything he had been holding back seemed to slip away.

His hands clenched into fists at his sides trying to suppress the whirlwind of emotions threatening to overwhelm him. The taste of the moment lingered on his lips and it only made him feel more frustrated with himself.

He opened his eyes slowly still feeling the heat of the moment. His gaze flicked to Manvi.who was staring at him with her wide doe eyes in confusion and surprise written all over her face.

"Stop stopp!!! Looking at me like that!!! You are very injurious to my health!!" Dhruv said to himself after looking at the way she was looking at him. Taking a deep breath he tried to steady himself but the tension in the room was still thick making it hard to think clearly.
