Ithu
I'm pacing in the room when Aadhi opens the door and walks in.
"Aadhi.." I say with a soft sigh and go near him. "I'm sorry for what Navil said earlier. He should have minded his own business.."
"I don't find anything wrong in what he said, Ithu.." He says, his voice gruff. His hand comes up to touch my face but he stops midway with hesitation. "He's only being a good elder brother who can't see his sister getting hurt.."
When he doesn't touch me, I step forward and guide his hand towards my face, cupping it over my cheek. "You will not hurt me again, right?"
"I would wish to die before I do so, Ithu.." He admits with eyes brimming with nothing but honesty in them.
The intense need to lean into him, to press my cheek into his, and to bury my fingers in his hair is eating me
