Thanks once again for the double treat... loved reading it... 😊
The varied emotions displayed here…im amazed. You didn't mention it openly yet the readers can feel the changing emotions in every single line of their communication.
She is heartbroken and infuriated. Shuts herself because she feels humiliated…
He comes in search of her… a bit guilty… a bit irritated…a bit worried… overshadowed by pride and anger.
Finds her in the stable… feels a bit relieved.
Finds her not looking at his face… feels irritated and furious
Turns her and look at her disheveled form…the blank look in her eyes… feels shocked and guilty
She still in her angry mode…
One simple gesture from him… she is surprised… melts down a bit but still furious.
He orders her to eat bread…she refuses
She obeys… when she sense a hint of plead in his words.
I really enjoyed reading this subtle play of emotions…
Next comes the confrontation part…
It didn't feel like a heated confrontation between a guilty master and an infuriated servant. It looked more like an argument between two friends trying to end the tiff between them with a simple sorry. She didnt even want an apology... just wants to know whether he really regrets for his earlier action.
She can sense his regret from his gestures but expects the confirmation in words. His pride doesn't allow him for a open confession but at the same time he never denies his intention behind his gestures.
She sighs in defeat and makes one last blow… her harsh words makes him all vulnerable and he opens up his cold heart and pent up emotions a bit.
As per her nature she forgets all her bitterness towards that ruthless person and cries silently for the hardship he faced in his life...
The curiosity in her eyes and the determined look didn't go unnoticed by him… he easily reads her mind... he knows what she is upto... but he can't make himself more vulnerable in front of her…he can very well cope up with her animosity but not sympathy... he opts for damage control… he order her to move out of the castle.
Lets see how far Lord Arnav succeds in his decision… because destiny may have other plans.
"Heartless though I am," murmured Lord Arnav looking away, "My heart is sore."
Hope her healing heart helps in soothing the soreness of his heart... very soon.
