After dinner, Abhira entered the room and switched on the soft bedside lamp.

She removed her earrings and placed them on the table, her fingers moving slowly, as if lost in thought.

Armaan walked in, loosening his watch, his eyes settling on her.

"Aaj ka din kaisa tha?" he asked, his voice gentle.

Abhira smiled, a small, soft one.

"Acha tha." She looked at him briefly, then turned to the wardrobe, pretending to adjust a few things.

Armaan walked closer, standing behind her.

"Tum thaki huyi lag rahi ho," he said, placing a hand on her shoulder.

She stiffened for a second but then relaxed, nodding. "Haan, kaafi thak gayi hoon."

Armaan turned her gently to face him.

"Baitho, main tumhara sar daba deta hoon," he offered.

Abhira quickly shook her head, stepping back slightly.

"Nahi, zaroorat nahi hai. Bas thoda rest karna hai." She smiled again, trying to make it sound normal.

Armaan observed her for a moment. "Theek hai."

She walked to the bed and sat down, pulling the blanket over herself.

Armaan sat beside her, tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear.

"Tum mujhe dekh bhi nahi rahi ho," he said softly.

Abhira looked at him for a brief second before looking away. "Aisa kuch nahi hai."

Armaan leaned in slightly, his fingers brushing against hers.

"Abhira..." His voice held a quiet longing.

She quickly lay down and pulled the blanket up to her chin. "Armaan, mujhe neend aa rahi hai. Chalo so jaate hain."

Armaan sighed, looking at her for a moment. Then he turned off the lamp and lay down beside her.

"Ise kya ho gaya hai achanak se. Kahi maine use bina permission ke kiss kiya us vajah se naaraz toh nahi hai na mujhse?" He though in his mind.

Armaan lay on his side, staring at the ceiling. His mind was restless.

He turned to look at Abhira. Her back was facing him. He sighed and closed his eyes, trying to sleep.

But sleep didn't come easily. He kept thinking about her sudden distance.

Did he do something wrong?Was she upset with him?

After a long time, his eyes felt heavy. Slowly, he drifted into sleep.

The morning sun filled the room with soft light. Armaan woke up first. He turned to look at Abhira. She was still asleep, her face calm.

He smiled and gently tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear.

For a moment, he just watched her.

Then, he got up quietly and went to freshen up.

A little later, Abhira stirred. Her eyes slowly opened.

She looked around and saw Armaan standing near the mirror, fixing his watch.

She sat up, rubbing her eyes. "Good morning."
