Aarav went first. He moved with ease, shoulders straight, steps measured, like someone who had never stumbled. Behind him, Ambika followed cautiously, her every step hesitant. The saree clung and tangled, its unfamiliar folds whispering rebellion with each movement. Her heart thudded louder than the sound of her sandals against the wood. And then her foot betrayed her. Her breath caught. She swayed, balance slipping away like sand through her fingers. Panic surged, and without thought, her voice broke the air. "Aarav!" He turned instantly, eyes widening at the sight of her faltering form. She reached for him just as gravity pulled her down. Her hands gripped his shoulders, desperate, trembling-her only lifeline. But momentum was cruel. Her weight toppled into him, and in a breathless, impossible second- her lips brushed his. Time fractured. Aarav froze, every muscle taut, his chest locked in suspended breath. His eyes widened, a storm of shock and disbelief. It was no deliberate kiss, no gentle lean-it was clumsy, unplanned, born of fear and fate colliding. Yet the fire of it burned through him, raw and unrelenting. Ambika's entire being flared with heat. Her heart raced so violently she thought it might shatter. Shame, shock, and something unnamed tangled inside her. Before he could speak, before the world could breathe again, she tore herself away. Her saree tangled at her feet as she ran, stumbling, almost falling again, her hands clutching at nothing. She did not look back. She couldn't. Her face burned too fiercely, her soul quivered too violently. Aarav remained where he was, struck motionless. The world spun around him, but his body refused

Kalyani × Aayansh #5 in songs out of 38k -29/11/2025 I pinned him against the wall, my breath catching at the nearness. His shoulders tensed under my hands, his face turned away as if looking at me would burn him. "Suniye..." My whisper barely broke the silence. He didn't move. I tugged his collar, trying to pull him down, but his height mocked me." He Shivji... inko itna lamba kyun banaya aapne?" A shaky laugh almost escaped, but the ache in my chest smothered it. "Wait here." My voice was low, steady only on the surface. I darted to the dressing table, grabbed the small stool, and dropped it in front of him with a soft thud. Climbing up, I steadied myself by resting my palms on his rigid shoulders. Now, we were finally eye to eye. "Now we can talk," I murmured. "Tell me... what were you saying? I'm all ears." Still, he refused to look at me. His silence cut deeper than anger. Something inside me cracked. I touched his chin gently, lifting it with my fingers until his eyes met mine. "Don't do this," I said, voice trembling despite myself. "You know I can't bear your ignorance, aayansh." His gaze locked with mine, and the world shrank into the space between us. His eyes burned-anger, pain, something unspoken flickering behind the fire. "I won't accept this marriage," he said, voice rough. "You can't force me to accept it... to accept you. Not after everything you did." My breath caught. I stepped closer, leaving barely an inch of space, enough to feel his warmth seep into me. His lashes fluttered as if the closeness unnerved him. He dropped his eyes, his words breaking apart in a stutter. "I-It's not r-right. I... don't deserve you. You don't even know me completely." And then I saw it- His ears. Scarlet red. A soft, involuntary smile touched my lips. His body screamed resistance, but his heart... oh, his heart was betraying him. ______________________________ Yours Kalyani - by @mahitraa4
