"Whether it was massaging her legs, fetching warm water, or holding her close until she felt better—Darsh did everything he could, but it never felt like enough. And that helplessness ate him alive."

Darsh, panicked, cupped her face gently: Akshu... kya hua? Aap thik toh ho na? Kahin dard ho raha hai?

"Satakshi sniffled, struggling to get her words out between soft sobs."

Satakshi, voice trembling: Wo... mujhe...

Darsh's heart pounded in his chest. His grip on her tightened as fear surged through him: Haan baccha, kya hua? Bolo na?

Satakshi hiccupped, looking down as fresh tears spilled from her eyes: Mujhe... gol gappe khaane hain.

"For a moment, Darsh just stared at her, his mind processing her words. Then, as realization struck, his lips twitched, and a smile of sheer relief crossed his face. He let out a breath he hadn't realized he was holding and gently wiped her tears with his thumb."
