"Why are you avoiding me again?" He pressed her to his chest.
Rhea felt his heart beat on her hand. Tears welled up in her eyes.
"It's my fault you are like this!" A tear rolled down her cheek.
"You shouldn't have done anything!" She placed her palms on her face, trying to rub away the tears.
Why am I even crying? I don't want to cry. I simply want to talk with him.
"It's not like I'm going to live after 25!" Her sobs increased as her hiccups echoed in the room.
Then she started wailing softly. "So why risk your life for me?" Falling in his embrace.
Zeenare's voice was low, but it swallowed her cry. "Because you once did what no one would do for me."
He patted her hair. "You are not a burden to me. I am."
"I put you in this predicament you are in because of my selfish reasons."
"If you had never met me, you would have had a good husband and birthed a child. But I disrupted it."
