"Oh, this saree ?" Naisha tries to laugh lightly, smoothing the silk.
"It was my mother's. I thought it would be perfect for tonight."
Something flickers across Rajvardhan's face, a flash of anguish and longing.
He sways on his feet, reaching out a trembling hand as if to touch her.
Naisha immediately steps back not wishing to be touched by him.
"Your mother's saree " he whispers harshly,
"I haven't seen this in...in twenty years." He whispers in such a low voice that Naisha can’t hear.
clasping a hand over his mouth as if to stifle a cry.
"I thought...I thought " he stammers looking at her with nostalgia
Naisha's eyes widen in alarm or maybe utter confusion because
She doesn't understand.
Why was her mother's saree affecting him so intensely?
"Uncle, are you alright? You look like you've seen a ghost."
Rajvardhan shakes himself, blinking rapidly.
"No, no, I'm fine " he mumbles , backing away.
"I'm sorry. Just a bit of heartburn."
He turns on his heel and hurries off, leaving Naisha bewildered .
His voice trails off, and she can see a storm of emotions flickering across his face—nostalgia, regret, and a hint of fear.
" You look exactly like her " these were the last words he whispers and leaves from there
" What's exactly wrong with him ?"
She shakes her head, dismissing the odd encounter.
Surely the man is just having a bit too much to drink.
The mystery of his reaction makes her stare at his way
He tumbles on his feet and has to grip the doorframe for support.
Naisha still feels very confused and a bit concerned.
She has never seen calm, collected Uncle RV behave like this before.
Her entire evening has been already spoilt on top of that, this wierd behavior of Rajvardhan makes her more irritated.
" The entire family is crazy " Naisha mumbles and moves to her room.
As she walks inside, RV sags against the door, squeezing his eyes shut.
A tidal wave of grief and anguish swamps him as he relives that horrible day all over again.
