BENGAL NIGHTS
"Obhi?"
Ah, the way she says my name-it isn't just a call, it's a claim. A whispered spell that weaves through my bones, sinking into the marrow, tethering me to her in ways neither of us fully understand.
Obhi.
So soft. So effortless. And yet, it wrecks me.
When she says it, the world tilts, narrows, quiets-until all that remains is her. Her voice, a melody spun from moonlight and mischief. A touch I haven't felt, yet crave like a dying man craves breath. Every syllable a caress, every utterance a hand around my throat, tightening, suffocating, reviving-all at once.
Only she calls me this. Only she can.
And I think she knows.
She must.
Because when she says my name, she says it like she owns it. Like she owns me.
And perhaps, she does.
Does she realize what she does to me? The havoc she wreaks with a mere breath? The chaos she stirs in a man who has mastered the art of being unshaken?
Or does she say it so sweetly just to watch me unravel?
Because, oh, how easily I do.
When she calls me Obhi, the weight of my name-my title, my past, my sins-crumbles into dust. The weight of a thousand lives, a thousand choices, a thousand deaths-none of it matters. Not in this moment. Not when she speaks.
No battles. No betrayals. No ghosts whispering in the corridors of my mind.
Just her. Just Neela.
And for a fleeting second, I become something terrifyingly human. No crown. No bloodshed. No steel woven into my bones.
Just a man.
Just hers.
And if she says it again, I will answer.
A thousand times, I will answer.
Because my name belongs to her lips now.
Forever.
"Yes, Neela?"
