chapter 42

YOU ARE THE RHYTHM OF MY HEART!Chapter 42 :Nandu made her feel treasured, adored, and irreplaceable—his one and only, the woman he would love beyond time, beyond reason, beyond the very limits of existence.And in his arms, beneath the endless sky, Aadhya felt it too—this love, this devotion, this unbreakable bond that would stand strong against the tides of time.The moon, a silent spectator of countless love stories, gazed down upon Nandu and Aadhya with its soft, silvery glow.It had seen many lovers before, whispering sweet promises under its watchful eyes, but tonight, something felt different. There was a purity, an unspoken depth in their love that made even the celestial body hesitate.As Nandu and Aadhya surrendered themselves to the embrace of love, the moon found itself caught between admiration and shyness. It watched as their souls intertwined, their devotion shining brighter than the very stars that dotted the sky. For a moment, the moon blushed—if such a thing were possible—feeling like an intruder in their sacred moment.Unable to bear the intimacy unfolding beneath its gaze, the moon shyly sought refuge behind the drifting clouds, veiling itself in a soft curtain of mist. It did not wish to intrude upon the sanctity of their union, for such love deserved its own realm, untouched and undisturbed.The night, too, seemed to understand, as the gentle breeze stilled, the rustling leaves hushed, and even the stars dimmed their sparkle in silent reverence.For a while, the world belonged only to Nandu and Aadhya, wrapped in each other’s warmth, while the moon peeked out now and then, only to retreat once more—allowing love to bloom under the secrecy of the night.The next morning, Nandu woke up to the gentle chirping of birds, feeling refreshed and lighthearted despite the lingering exhaustion in his body. His eyes drifted toward the sky, which was still partially dark, with the moon and stars twinkling one last time before retreating to make way for the rising sun.His gaze sparkled with admiration at the breathtaking sight. The serene beauty of the morning filled his heart with peace and harmony.As he turned, his eyes fell on the figure lying beside him. Her head rested on his chest, one hand wrapped around his waist, and her leg draped over his, as if she sought to keep him close even in her dreams. A small, contented smile adorned her lips, as though she had found something that filled her heart with pure delight.Nandu gazed at her soft, delicate face, memories of the night flooding his mind. He had devoured her—again and again—unable to get enough of her.Though he had started gently, savoring every moment, his hunger grew insatiable. Two rounds weren’t enough. He had taken her repeatedly, losing himself in her entirely, as if she were the only one who could quench the fire within him, the only one who could make him feel whole.Caressing her cheek tenderly, Nandu kissed Aadhya's forehead with admiration. Slowly and gently, he placed her on the pillow, adjusting her properly on the mattress.He then removed the blanket from himself, making sure it didn’t slip away from Aadhya, and carefully covered her before getting off the mattress. Collecting his clothes, he put them on and stepped away.Nandu descended the staircase, scanning the surroundings in the dim light. His eyes fell on the room beside the staircase, and he approached it. The door was bolted but not locked. He gently slid it open and stepped inside.It was a single large room, and Nandu was astonished to find everything neatly arranged—as if someone had anticipated their stay. The bed against the wall was well-made with clean, colorful blankets. A water jug sat on the coffee table beside the bed, and a fresh set of clothes had been placed at the edge, ready for them to wear after a bath.Mesmerized by the thoughtful arrangement, Nandu noticed another door in the corner. He approached and opened it, discovering it was a washroom. Stepping inside, he relieved himself before checking the counter for essentials. He found new toothbrushes, soap, toothpaste, and shampoo, all neatly arranged.Understanding that everything had been prepared for them to freshen up in the morning, Nandu returned upstairs to check on Aadhya.-  *KRISH*
