This is such a lovely piece!

The different layers to Rudra's fears so brilliantly captured!

Their first meeting will always remain close to my heart. It proves that despite his khoobsorat aurat ramblings he is an inherently decent human being and protector to his core.

I love the imagery you've created with the baarat at the border. How amidst all that chaos he is frozen when his eyes fall upon her, how it slowly dawns on him that the feelings of protectiveness she had manage stir in him hadn't been just a once off fluke incident. How he is warring with himself to do the apparent right thing but in the end his instincts win.

His rising fear that he is being drawn into an abyss and that there wouldn't be anything to hold onto.

His desperate need driven by fierce instincts to be that knight in shining armor and further more his need for Paro to recognize the fact, that with him she was safe. Couldn't she just see that? His attraction mingled with fear that the poison would burn her, so beautifully captured!

His hurt when she rebuffs him, because for him, she has already come to mean so much more.

His fear that just when she is beginning to soften toward him and maybe even trust him, Laila would destroy all of it, take it all away and he would be ruined in her eyes forever. His self loathing is just so heart breaking!

His realization that he is teetering on the edge of the abyss now.

The last part completely tugged on my heart strings! How he has become accustomed to her presence, how he constantly looks for her, is grounded by her mere presence and how he is not yet ready to examine too closely that strange sense of contentment and peace that comes over him when he is around her.

His biggest fear yet, that she too would find him lacking and leave him.

His desperate attempts to chain her to him because he simply cannot, will not, allow her to leave. Not yet. He would shatter if he did.

Finally he has tripped of the precipice and as he tumbles into the abyss, he reaches for her only to find she isn't there.

@ All bolds: Loved the gradual progression from him thinking that she is the cause of his ruin to ultimately reaching for her because she is his salvation.

@Maya: Really LOVE your insightful comments. They are always such a pleasure to read! I have no more words to describe this OS and I wish i could just quote you verbatim

PS: Yes the surgeon was young and quite handsome😆
