Eyes Never Lies

"𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬."

Aakshat Mira

In every silent whisper, he loves her.

a love that waited
a love that wondered
a love that never let go.

"Let you say no. Say no to this marriage."

Then I turned again, trying to pull away
But his grip stayed firm.

"And if I don't?" he asked, voice low, teasing. "What will you do? Hmm? What can you even do?"
He was baiting me.

"Maar denge aapko." I muttered.

Silence.

Then, softly, darkly.
"Toh maar dijiye. Yahi. Abhi."

God
I hated this man
I hated how he could still make my pulse race.

"I feel nothing for you, Aakshat ji."
My voice trembled, but I forced the lie to sound real.

"You feel nothing?" he repeated
"Really?"
Then softly,
"Rani sahiba.."

My stomach dropped
That name.
He used to call me that
In a voice only I knew.
In a time that only I remembered.

And now he gave it to her?
To Malini?

I closed my eyes

He had no idea I was standing right in front of him.
Alive
Burning with jealousy
And completely broken.
To him
Mira was dead.
And maybe she really was.

Raghav and Saumya

In the quiet between heartbeats, he finds her.

A love born in fire
A love tested by the world
A love that refuses to let go.
