After the dinner, saksham settled ruhanika on bed. And walked in with her medicine which doctor prescribed just for one time.

Ruhanika shifted uncomfortably on her bed, as she frowned. And saksham thought to ask her,

"What happened ruhi" he said and as her nickname spinned through his mouth something fluttered in ruhanika's chest, and yes it was damn butterflies.

Ignoring the feeling she answered while being unsure,

"Um ah- nothing" and saksham gave her a i don't care type of look and said

"Is your dress uncomfortable ruhi" and ruhanika nodded while looking down at her lap and saksham sighed and went to the closet and took out a beige hoodie, which belongs to him.

"Take this and change, and also rest for a while and I will call your brothers to come they must worried" he said and as the words settled in ruhanika's head, something snapped. She dont want to go home atleast for this night

The unsettling feeling was making it hard for ruhanika to go back, and she finally blurted out.

"No" and saksham head snapped at her, with a frown taking over.

"I mean tell them I am here but say I don't wanna come tonight. I will come tomorrow" she said and walked out leaving saksham confused.

Even though he wanted to ask questions to her, but he thought not to overwhelm her and make her uncomfortable.

He called the oberoi brothers and told them, what ruhanika told. And he could sense the sadness taking over them through phone call.

Ruhanika stepped out of the room, eyes held sleep and tiredness. The beige hoodie hunged low on her frame and indication that it wasn't her. Saksham eyes stuck at her, and something happened in his stomach.

He stared at her and small almost invisible smile tug in his lips for a moment all the responsibility and chaos went non existent, and he found peace.

He knew she is his peace. And he wants her, but wouldn't force her if she loves someone else. He knows what pure love is, he knows love can't be forced.

Finally ruhanika made her way to the bed and curled herself up in the blanket.

As if trying to shield herself from the whole weight of what happened, saksham stood his eyes lingering on her with only

Love

"Good night ruhi, take care of yourself" he said in the most softest and gentle voice and ruhanika head snapped as she gave the most soft and cute smile. And saksham heart left a beat. As he closed the door and only thing in his mind was

Her smile

As saksham left, silence spread along the room. And ruhanika sighed lying down on bed. As her mind swirled around whatever chaos happened in these two days. But the thing that was getting in her mind was saksham.

She knew maybe she had a crush , but now she thinks that she has something more than crush.

Love?
No she can't name for now, but whatever it is it's good.

'I don't know but I am feeling more than crush for him'

She thought, and closed her eyes.

Soon darkness consumed her as slept with a faint smile because of saksham. But back of her mind she knew she had to face her brothers Tommorow and ritwik too.
