Aniruddh stood frozen, the sudden weight of her body against his, the unexpected, heartbreaking kiss, all of it a shock to his system. Her lips moved against his, whispering a single, broken word, "Maaf..." (Forgive...)
Her arms tightened around his neck, and his own hands, still stiff at his sides, slowly, hesitantly, came up. He didn't return her embrace immediately. Instead, his fingers found her shoulders, his grip a questioning, almost painful hold. He pulled back, just enough to look at her, his eyes, red from a sleepless night, fixed on her tear-streaked face.
