Taj lake palace
Udaipur

Their eyes met.
Their heartbeats rose.
And the world froze.
The noises around silenced as the two looked at each other, unblinking.

Years and years later, they took each other in.

Armaan's breath hitched as he saw the woman that he had loved and lived for since the past five years, standing in front of him.

He took in every little crevice of her face and noticed how much she had changed over the years. Her features had matured, they were sharper than ever before.

Over the years, he had time and again wondered how she would look when they would meet again but every imagination of his failed in front of the reality.

Dressed in a garnet saree, she looked prettier than ever and yet his eyes remained stuck on those beautiful amber orbs.

The eyes that had once been unable to hide anything from him, were now cold and lifeless, just the way they had been the day she had left him standing alone in the middle of the road.

The indifference that he saw in them sent shivers down his spine.

Her face gave nothing away but her insides were trembling. Every inch of her soul squeezed in recognition but she didn't let it show.

Her heartbeat rose, the panic built as she looked at him. Her mask dropped for a second but she put it on before he could notice.

Her face went blank again and her eyes took the cold, indifferent look again. She stepped down the stairs slowly. She could feel his gaze scanning every inch of her body.

Her skin lit up in response, goosebumps rising at every part where he gazed.

But she didn't let it show.
She walked slowly and as she came right next to him, she heard him slowly whisper, " Abhira"

His voice which was barely audible, broke a little as he slowly uttered her name. His eyes watered a little as a tear filled smile lit up his face.

She stood there right next to him, he turned slightly to look at her but she just looked ahead.

She knew he expected her to stop and listen to him, to have a conversation with him but she wasn't ready for that just yet.

Her heart jumped as she heard him utter her name.
She released a shaky breath and closed her eyes, her heart fluttering a little.

Abhira Sharma, you are nothing to me...

The words that he had once uttered rang in her head and she found that she hadn't really moved on fully from what had happened.

Her momentary weakness turned into anger but she didn't let it come up. Indifference and coldness washed all over her.

She opened her eyes abruptly and walked off without even looking at him for a second longer, leaving him standing alone.

While she walked off, her arm slightly brushed Armaan's and his eyes closed off their own accord. His hand going to touch the place where their bodies met. Sparks ran all over his body.
