YOU ARE THE RHYTHM OF MY HEART!Chapter 41 :Nandu’s heart swelled with contentment as he watched Aadhya, willing to offer herself not out of obligation, but with pure love. A wave of overwhelming happiness crashed over him, and without a second thought, he pulled her into a tight embrace.“Aadu...” he murmured, his voice thick with affection. “You don’t know what you’re doing to me. You make me feel as if I’m the only man in this universe…, the only one worthy of the love of this beautiful angel.” He exhaled, his grip tightening around her. “I feel proud... so incredibly blessed to have won the heart of someone as pure and kind as you. But...”.He hesitated, retreating from the embrace, his head lowering in shame.“I feel… unworthy”, he admitted, his voice laced with remorse. “I’m not pure or clean enough to take this angel into my arms. My past… it disgusts me. And when I think of you, it makes me feel even more ashamed”.Aadhya watched him, her heart aching at the sight of his self-doubt. Without hesitation, she reached forward, gently cupping his face, her fingers caressing his skin as she made him look at her.“Krish!”, she began, her voice unwavering. “I told you before—I don’t give a damn about your past. The moment you laid your eyes on me, you were reborn. This is your new life, and in this life, it’s only me. Only I have the right to claim you as mine”. She held his gaze, her eyes brimming with love and reassurance.“Forget the past, Krish! Please don’t feel guilty for a time when I wasn’t there. None of that matters to me”.Nandu’s lips parted, a lingering doubt still dancing in his eyes. “But...”, he whispered.Before he could say more, Aadhya leaned forward and, without warning, pressed her lips against his. It was a kiss—soft yet firm, brief yet enough to send shivers down his spine. She lingered for a moment before pulling back, her eyes locked onto his.“I don’t care about your past”, she murmured, her voice laced with conviction. “What I care about is now. I believe in your love, Krish! And I know, from the moment you fell for me, I’ve been the only woman in your heart and soul”.Her sincerity shattered the last of his hesitation. Unable to hold back any longer, Nandu cupped her face, his thumb tracing the curve of her cheek before capturing her lips in a slow, tender kiss. He poured his emotions into it, savoring the taste of her love and devotion. One of his hands slid to the nape of her neck, while the other wrapped around her waist, pulling her onto his lap. He held her close—so close that not even air could pass between them, as if he never wanted to let her go.At that moment, nothing else existed. Just them. Just love.After cherishing their kiss, Nandu gently laid Aadhya on the mattress, his touch featherlight as he hovered over her. The soft glow of the moon cast a silver hue over her delicate features, highlighting the flicker of hesitation in her eyes.Noticing her apprehension, he cupped her cheek, his thumb caressing her skin with infinite tenderness.“Aadhu!”, he whispered, his voice gentle and reassuring. “Don’t worry. I’ll be slow. I’ll be gentle. I’ll never hurt you. Trust me, okay?”.Aadhya gazed into his eyes, searching for any trace of doubt, but all she found was unwavering sincerity and boundless love. Slowly, she nodded, her trust in him absolute.That night, Nandu worshipped her, as if she were the most precious, the most sacred part of his existence. He touched her with reverence, cherished her with devotion, and held her as if she were his entire world.Like a honeybee drawn to the sweetest nectar, he savored every moment, ensuring she felt nothing but love, comfort, and pure bliss.He whispered her name like a sacred prayer, each syllable carrying the weight of his love. He traced every curve of her being as if committing her to memory, as if writing poetry with his fingertips upon her skin.-  *KRISH*
