साँस में तू भरे दो जहाँ से परे...
के तुझसे मिलूँ मैं, मेरे साथिया
जिया, मैं ना जिया

It was past midnight, the house silent except for the faint hum of the air conditioner. Tara sat at the edge of the bed, her hair loosely tied back, her hands fidgeting with the hem of her kurta. The soft fabric twisted under her nervous fingers, her gaze fixed on the floor as if searching for answers in its stillness.

Dhruv emerged from the bathroom, his damp hair tousled, small droplets of water catching the faint light as they clung to the edges of his forehead. His T-shirt clung slightly to his frame, damp from the steam of the shower, and he paused in the doorway, watching her for a moment. She seemed smaller somehow, her usually sharp presence subdued, lost in thought.

"You should be asleep by now," he said softly, his voice breaking the stillness as he ran a towel over his hair.

Tara's head jerked up at the sound of his voice, her wide eyes betraying her startle before she quickly looked away again, embarrassed at being caught awake. "I wasn't feeling sleepy," she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper, betraying the turmoil she was trying to hide.

Dhruv's brow furrowed slightly as he walked toward her, his movements deliberate and calm. He dropped the towel over a nearby chair and perched at the edge of the bed, maintaining a careful distance yet close enough to show he cared. "Kyu? Kuch hua hai kya aapko, Tara ji? Mujhe batao," he asked, his tone low and inviting, encouraging her to speak.

Tara shook her head quickly, but the slight tremble in her fingers as they twisted her kurta didn't escape his notice. She forced a weak smile, but it didn't reach her eyes.
