Lovely post as always! Loved your description of the last scene 😳 Rudra disturbed at the closeness ... for him, a man of the world, it should be nothing much, a simple innocent closeness ... why the heck does it bother him so much? But it does.
Love the last scene more and more, the more I watch it!
It was thus that Rudra caught Paro, as he thought, rummaging in the cupboard amongst his possessions. His suspicion-filled "what are you doing?" was met only with a guilty look. He advanced on the girl, who retreated dragging the door wide open. Temper riled, he barked at her to "move away", and she came nearer, pulling the door with her, gesturing incoherently at something he couldn't be bothered to decode. Fed-up, he grabbed the top of the door and slammed it to.
Except that it was Paro who slammed into him, the unexpected contact stealing their breath. They stayed frozen, hearts beating in sync, for just a few moments. And then she stepped away to raise wide eyes to his. He might've been shocked immobile, but his narrowed, intent eyes chased every change of her expression - shock turning into reproach becoming something else that made her draw in quick breaths between trembling lips. The same something that dried his mouth and made it difficult to swallow.
Her eyes were darkening with distress when he caught sight of the nail pinning her sleeve to the door, even as she pointed it out to him. He moved decisively to release her, them. But his push was too harsh. The delicate material ripped, laying bare her upper arm to his gaze. There was shock in her eyes as she scooped up the ragged edges in her fist. Strangely disturbed, Rudra opened his mouth, but the words wouldn't come. Then it was too late. The moment had passed..
