chapter 62

YOU ARE THE RHYTHM OF MY HEART!GChapter 62 :Time felt meaningless as she stood there, drowning in her emotions. After what seemed like an eternity, loud knocks echoed against the door, as if someone was trying to break it down.Sniffling, she turned off the tap and took a deep breath before unlocking the door.As it swung open, she found herself face-to-face with not only Akhil but also Nandu. His eyes were filled with guilt and remorse as they met hers, silently pleading for a chance to explain.Watching Aadhya’s disoriented figure, a wave of anguish washed over Nandu. He instinctively took a step toward her, wanting nothing more than to pull her into his embrace—to pacify her, to assure her that he was only hers.But before he could reach her, Aadhya swiftly stepped back, raising her hand to stop him in his tracks.“No! Don’t come near me. Don’t touch me after getting stained by that woman”, she screamed, her fury evident in her voice, each word dripping with hurt and betrayal. “Go and wash yourself first!”Understanding her inner turmoil, Nandu didn’t wish to provoke her further. Without another word, he turned on his heels, intending to oblige her demand. But just as he reached the door, he halted, looking back over his shoulder.“Aadu... I didn’t see it coming. I was only trying to rescue her. If I had even imagined what she was planning, I swear, I would have let her hit the floor rather than hold her in my hands”. His voice was laced with sincerity and regret.“I swear”.With that, he walked out, leaving behind a silence heavy with unresolved emotions.He knew Aadhya trusted him. But the anguish in her eyes—that was what hurt him the most. Her belief in him shouldn’t make her feel insecure. She should have confronted Laila on the spot instead of suffering alone.Akhil, who had been watching, gently wrapped his arms around Aadhya, guiding her toward the couch. He helped her sit down before taking a seat beside her. Taking her hand in his, he lifted her chin with his other hand, making her meet his gaze.“Aadu!”, he said softly, his voice filled with concern and empathy. “You know that whatever happened out there was an accident. It shouldn’t disturb you like this. Nothing..., nothing—should come between you and Nandu brother that could shatter your faith in each other. Do you understand me?”.-  *KRISH*
