She had many thoughts.
She had many what ifs.
She had many insecurities.
But when Rishabh is with her, she forgets them all.
She forgets everything and everyone, even her family when she is with him.
He makes her forget everything but at the end of the day reality crashes down to her.
She gets reminded of who is she and what is she.
The bitter truth that she doesn't deserve him.
A lone tear escapes from her left eye.
Before she could wipe it off, a hand brushes her cheek. She looked up and saw Rishabh looking at her sadly.
" I hate when you cry." He whispered.
" I am not crying." She said and got up from the chair.
She walked to the kitchen and came back holding his coffee.
" Here." She said giving him the cup.
He took it sighing.
" We are leaving." She said to Rishabh when Aman came out yawing.
Something inside him ached when she said that and looked at her pained. She was startled at the emotion she saw in his eyes and pain reflected on his face made her frown.
" What happened?" She asked concerned.
" Nothing. Let Aman be here only as he will be alone at home when you go to the office." Rishabh said and Aman squealed in joy at those words.
" Are you sure? Because you are sick.....I don't want to trouble you." She asked hesitantly.
" Nothing about you two is trouble to me." He said glaring at her who nodded her head.
" Amu baby.....take shower and be a good boy. Don't trouble your buddy too much because he is still sick, let him rest. Okay?" She asked him.
" Okay mumma, I will be a good boy." Aman said smiling at her who kissed his cheek and took her bag to leave.
Aman ran inside the washroom happily while Rishabh was staring at Aadhya who was walking towards the door.
" Aadhya." He called and she turned.
He didn't said anything but just hugged her which surprised her. He was holding onto her tightly as if his life depended on her and she hugged him back.
Both stayed like that for sometime.
" Are you alright?" She asked as he was not letting her go.
" Do you want me to stay with you?" She asked him when he didn't respond to her.
He pulled away and looked at her intently.
" What happened?" She asked worried looking at his behaviour.
" Nothing.....I am fine. You go and get ready for the office." He said gulping and looked away.
" Are you sure?" She asked him frowing.
" Yes. I just need some rest.....I guess." He says and she nods her head unsurely.
She steps out of the door and looks back when she feels he was still standing there staring at her.
" Call me if you need anything." She says and walks into the elevator.
She goes to her house and gets ready for the office. Harish drops her off to the office and goes to Rishabh's house taking food for them on his way.
