“Then let’s go there. First, you need to bathe. If you don’t mind, maybe… I can bathe you?” Priyank asked, feeling uncertain about how to broach the subject.
Priya’s eyes widened as she heard him ask for her permission, something he had never done before when bathing her.
Now that she had agreed to go to the beach and have lunch, she hoped it would lift her spirits, as she felt like she was wasting away in this bed.
But she was taken aback by his sudden politeness. She hadn’t expected this from him.
He was acting like a good boy, but she knew he was not innocent. He was a devil.
And yet, here he was, hesitating to ask if he could bathe her. It felt awkward.
But she couldn’t bathe herself, her body wasn’t cooperating at all.
She wanted to do it herself, but looking at her current condition, she knew she couldn’t manage it.
So she simply nodded and said, “Okay, bathe me.”
Priyank smiled as he lifted her in his arms and carried her to the bathroom.
Ten minutes later, he had bathed her and dressed her in the same clothes she had been wearing when he brought her here.
“Priya, let’s go,” he said, leading her out of the room and then out of the penthouse, placing her gently in the car and starting the engine.
Priya looked outside, feeling a sense of relaxation wash over her as the breeze tousled her hair. It felt good.
At least now she could breathe. It made her feel alive, like she was finally okay.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Being cooped up in that penthouse had only left her with more questions.
Now she was grateful that he had taken her out and was willing to feed her. It meant something to her.
She had never expected him to agree.
As they drove to the beach, Priya couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief wash over her. The change of scenery and the fresh air helped clear her mind, if only temporarily.
As they arrived, Priyank helped her out of the car and onto the sandy shore. The sound of the waves crashing against the shore was soothing, and the warmth of the sun on her skin felt comforting.
They found a quiet spot to sit, and Priyank ordered lunch, and within a few minutes they got served.
Priya smiled gratefully as she took in the sight of the delicious spread before her.
For a while, they simply sat in silence, enjoying each other’s company and the peaceful surroundings.
Priya felt a sense of calm settle over her.
As they ate, Priyank occasionally stole glances at her, his expression a mix of concern and something else she couldn’t quite place. It made her wonder what was going on in his mind, but she decided not to push him for answers.
Instead, she focused on the moment, savouring each bite of food and each passing moment of enjoyment.
“How are you liking it here? Are you enjoying yourself?” Priyank asked, a smile gracing his lips as he finished his food.
“Yes, I do,” Priya happily replied.
Priyank couldn’t help but feel a sense of contentment as he looked at her. Her beautiful red hair scattered across her face, catching the sunlight and gleaming like precious gems.
Seeing her shine like this warmed his heart. She was like a beacon of light in his dark world, a light he never knew he needed until now.
He didn’t know if he could keep her by his side, but he wanted to hold onto her for as long as he could.
All he wanted was this innocent Priya, nothing else. Her smile washed away all his worries and doubts, leaving only a sense of peace and happiness.
As they sat there, basking in the warmth of the sun and the beauty of the beach, Priya couldn’t help but feel grateful for this moment of peace and happiness.
She glanced at Priyank, noticing the way the sunlight danced on his face, casting a soft glow around him.
“Why are you looking at me like this, Angel?” Priyank asked, feeling her eyes on him but unable to discern what had caught her attention.
He found himself enjoying the feeling of her gaze on him, even more than the view itself. But her curiosity piqued his interest, prompting him to ask.
“I’m just admiring how the sunlight is glowing on your face,” Priya replied with a smile.
She didn’t quite understand why she felt compelled to make such a comment. After all, she didn’t like him; he had been nothing but a devil in her life. But at this moment, as they sat together, he didn’t seem so bad-at least not in her eyes.
She couldn’t explain what had changed during the two days she was in a coma, but it seemed like Priyank had changed, if only slightly.
“Is that so?”
Priyank’s heart skipped a beat at Priya’s words. He hadn’t expected her to notice or appreciate something as simple as the sunlight on his face.
For a moment, he felt a warmth spread through him, a feeling he hadn’t experienced in a long time.
He looked at Priya, studying her features, and realised that she looked different too.
At least now she wasn’t looking at him with hatred, or so Priyank hoped. But maybe it was just wishful thinking on his part.
Priyank couldn’t help but feel a surge of relief at the change in her demeanour. He desperately wanted to believe that she was beginning to see him in a different light.
“I’m glad to see you happy, Angel. I didn’t realise you liked beaches so much,” Priyank remarked.
The information he had gathered about Priya’s personal preferences.
There had been no mention of her fondness for beaches in the file he had received, so this revelation came as a pleasant surprise to him.
“I do. You haven’t known me for very long, so how could you possibly know what I like or dislike?” Priya replied, her tone tinged with confusion.
She couldn’t understand why Priyank felt the need to comment on her preferences. After all, they weren’t that close.
And why did he have to speak as if he knew everything about her?
She didn’t think he had to, but it seemed like he had this complex of trying to act like he knew everything, which was beyond her understanding.
