At Her Side

Tara Sen becomes President under a sky full of expectations and cameras that never look away. The world learns her voice, her smile, her strength. What it never sees is how quiet her life becomes once the doors close.

Major Rishav Sarwal is always there. Close enough to hear her exhale. Trained to protect without attachment, he learns her rhythms, her silences, the things she never says out loud. Somewhere between duty and proximity, something shifts.

It does not announce itself. It waits. In pauses. In glances that linger. In moments that feel too intimate to be accidental and too dangerous to be real.

Neither of them knows when understanding turns into something else. Only that once it does, there is no turning back. And some lines, once crossed in the heart, cannot be uncrossed.
