ShivIka Short Story - Solace

Banner Credit : -Anilaa-
Prelude
I collapsed on the floor, my mind filled with thoughts of today's happenings. The nuptial chain felt heavy around my neck. I felt the vermilion burn on my forehead.
I hugged my knees tight as tears came coursing down my cheeks. I didn't want to cry. I wasn't this weak. But the tears were uncontrollable.
I wiped my tears away and composed myself as I heard the door unlock. Shivaay stood in front of me equally exhausted as I was.
Our eyes met.
I could clearly see pain and regret but also traces of sympathy in his blue-green eyes. Sympathy. He felt sorry for me. I didn't need anyone feeling sorry for me.
He looked away and went towards the bed. He grabbed a pillow and a blanket, "I'll sleep on the couch outside. You can stay here." His voice low and weary.
I opened my mouth to object but he had already left.
I changed from my heavy bridal lehanga to some light clothes Priyanka had lent my for the night.
I went out near the pool area to get some fresh air when my eyes landed on Shivaay. He had fallen asleep. As I went closer I could see his face tense and worn out. I was about to caress his face when I stopped myself. I stepped back and went back to the room.
I laid down on the couch and in no time I fell asleep.
