Akshaj's heart pounded hard in his chest as Ahana wrapped her arms more firmly around his waist. The slight trembling of her body was all clear that how much she is controlling herself from breaking down in front of him . Her hands gripped the kurta on his front , fingers curling up tightly around the febric. Desperation, anxiety and longing all lurking in her actions and he is at no stage to deny and confront her emotions because deep down he is going through the same . His own heart was tearing apart at this separation. He never felt this much helplessness before in any kind of situation but leaving her is making his soul crumble. He didn't realise how much he has fallen for her untill this moment of upcoming distance.
