Inaara stood frozen.
Her wide eyes remained locked on the man lying unconscious at her feet. Atharv.
The man who once held her like a precious dream now lay sprawled on the cold marble kitchen floor — arms wide, breath shallow, and completely still.
It felt like the world had stopped spinning.
Her breath hitched as she dropped to her knees beside him, her palms trembling as they cupped his cheeks.
“Atharv… Atharv, please…” she whispered, gently patting his face, panic slowly tightening its grip around her chest.
Her mind raced, trying to understand — how could a simple confession… a kiss… lead to this?
Just then, loud footsteps echoed in the hall.
“Inaara! See who’s here to eat your hand made foo—” Vihaan’s voice boomed in with his usual mischief but cut off mid-sentence.
His eyes widened the moment he stepped into the kitchen.
“What the—” he rushed over, crouching beside her.
“What happened to him? Why did he faint?”
Inaara opened her mouth but no words came out.
Her throat felt dry, her mind blank.
How could she tell him the truth?
“I… I don’t know,” she stammered, avoiding his eyes.
“Vihaan, please… call the doctor.”

Later that night, the master bedroom was draped in silence.
The golden glow of the bedside lamps cast soft light over the bed where Atharv lay — eyes closed, his expression eerily calm.
A faint beeping sound came from the portable monitor that tracked his vitals.
The doctor, middle-aged and composed, packed his stethoscope into his bag while casting a professional glance at Inaara and Vihaan.
“His blood pressure spiked, which led to the fainting. But… was he emotionally agitated? Any sudden stress or anger, Mrs. Rajvansh?”
Inaara’s lips parted but she faltered.
Her eyes flicked to Vihaan’s concerned face and then back to the doctor.
“No,” she whispered, shaking her head quickly.
“Nothing like that.”
The doctor nodded.
“Nothing to worry about, then. He should regain consciousness within the hour.”
