22. Reception.

Veer’s pov

The thought of Anu thrashing in my arms when she had a nightmare couldn’t leave my mind. It was stuck to my mind like a plague. She slept holding me, her grip so tight as if she was afraid I would fade away. I told her to sleep but I couldn’t sleep myself. The way she spoke and thrashed was heartbreaking. As the time passed her breathing was back to even and her grip got a bit loose, I knew she was asleep. He tears filled eyes and the way she tried to hide her pain away from me was clearly visible. I couldn’t help but wonder about Rudra’s words. What he said was true, but I didn’t pay much attention to it then, but now that I saw her night terror, I couldn’t help but wonder about her past.

She had a loving family that couldn’t stay away from her but still lived away from them because of her grandmother. Or was there more to it? Was there another face of Ananya that I didn’t know.
