Innocence to Bravery - Page 67/181

Arya saw her and asked,” Why are you sitting there? Come here.”

Adhira hesitated a bit but then he insisted again so she got up and went near the bed. He then signaled her to sit so she sat on the edge of the bed as if she was about to fall any moment.

Arya found that she was not maintaining eye contact and being tensed. He then asked her,” Adhira, Are you okay?”

She didn’t speak nor saw him. She started to feel her heart pound fast and her body temperature increasing. She thought, ‘What can I do now? Is there anyway? How to tell him that I am not ready yet?’

Arya then stood up and went in front of her. He then spoke up,” I can understand that you need some time to adjust to this new environment. So, don’t worry and stress yourself. Take your own time. Also I am feeling sleepy now, so can we sleep?”

Adhira felt a huge relief hearing him. She then looked up at him and nodded her head as YES. Arya smiled at her and asked,” Which side you want to take? You can change your dress if you want to.”

Adhira was still in shock to speak and react so she simply moved in bed to the other side and turned her back to him. Arya smiled and turned off the lights and slept on the other side.
