Naina looked at the rose in her hand which was drenched.

Aadarsh noticed it and felt remorseful,

"It was raining heavily. I couldn't save the rose more than this. Also, due to rain, it took an hour to reach here."

His every word was laced with sincerity and with each word Naina noticed the state he was in,

Red eyes,

Due to lack of sleep.

Dark circles,

Cause of overworking.

Shivering, drenched body,

Because of getting wet in rain.

"Go change," she murmured looking away from him.
