Author’s Pov

In the morning at the dining table, the younger ones were chattering among themselves.

But in the middle of all that noise…

Aishani was quiet.

Not sleepy. Not irritated.

Just… quiet.

She sat at the table, staring at her tea for a few seconds longer than necessary before taking a sip.

Isha noticed first.

“Why do you look like you’re solving life problems this early in the morning?”

Aishani blinked and smiled. “I’m thinking if tea actually wakes people up or if it’s just emotional support.”

Isha narrowed her eyes. “You’re weird today.”

From the other side of the table, Revansh didn’t say anything.

His eyes stayed on her for two seconds longer than usual. As if he was examining her like a doctor.

And he noticed.

She wasn’t swinging her legs. Wasn’t stealing food. Wasn’t commenting on his white shirt.

She finished breakfast silently.

“Come. We’re getting late,” Revansh said.

She nodded.

No dramatic reply. No nickname.

Just a nod.

And for some reason, that bothered him.

At College

The lift was under maintenance, so students were using the stairs.

Aishani climbed slowly, holding the railing.

Halfway through, her steps paused.

The corridor felt longer than usual.

The air felt… less.

She stopped.

Took a breath.

Then another.

Why does it feel so suffocating?

Students brushed past her.

She tried to move again.

Her vision blurred slightly.

And before she realized, her foot slipped.

But she didn’t fall.

A firm hand caught her arm.

“Careful.”

She looked up.

Revansh.

“I’m fine,” she said quickly, pulling her arm back.

“You don’t look fine.”

“I just climbed too fast.”

“You were walking like a snail.”

She gave a faint smile.

“I climbed Everest just now. Allow me. I was in energy-saving mode.”

“This is one floor.”

She glared at him. “Support me emotionally, not mathematically.”

He didn’t smile back.

He watched her face carefully.

“Come.”

“I can walk.”

“I didn’t ask.”

He walked beside her till the corridor ended.

Not touching.

But close enough in case she stumbled again.

She didn’t say anything.

Neither did he.

Library

After the lecture, Aishani went to the library to return a book.

The place was calm. Quiet. Almost sleepy.

She liked this silence.

She walked between the shelves, reading random titles without interest, just enjoying the peace.

At the other end of the aisle, someone stepped in.

White shirt.

White coat.

Focused expression.

Revansh.

He didn’t notice her at first.

He muttered, “Cardio reference section… where did they shift it…”

Aishani’s ears perked up.

Aishani turned and walked toward him.

“What are you doing standing here?” he asked.

“Nothing. Thinking which book to judge by its cover.”

He didn’t smile at her joke.

“Looking for something, Sir?”

“A book. Third edition. Blue cover.”

She nodded confidently. “I know where it is.”

He looked mildly surprised. “Show me.”

She walked ahead proudly and pointed. “There!”

She stood on her toes to pull it out.

The moment she tugged-

One book came out.

Then two. Then five.

THUD.

A small avalanche of books fell into her arms and onto the floor.

The sound echoed in the silent library.

Both of them froze.

She looked at the mess. Then at him.

He closed his eyes briefly.

“Can you do a single thing properly without creating a mess, Miss. Little Disaster?”

She defended herself immediately.

“I swear it’s the bookshelf’s fault!”

“Hm. Obviously. Aishani Mitra can never make mistakes on earth.” he replied dryly.

She nodded dramatically. “Good. Finally you understood.”

She added, “But I can never make mistakes on Mars too.”

He stared at her for a second, then bent down to pick up the books without another word.

She joined him, trying not to laugh.

This time, he took the required book himself.

Safely.

“Next time,” he said, “just point.”

She grinned. “But then how will we create memories?”

He didn’t reply.

But the corner of his mouth almost moved.

Cafeteria

Aishani bought a juice.

She didn’t drink it.

Just kept staring at it.

Revansh entered with two interns, discussing something.

Mid-sentence, his eyes found her.

Sitting alone. Quiet. Juice untouched.

He excused himself and walked to her table.

“Aishani.”

She almost jumped. “Why do you appear like horror movie characters?”

“I called you twice.”

“Oh.”

“Why are you sitting here alone?”

She looked up. “Because chairs exist?”

“Did you eat?”

“Yes.”

“What?”

She paused. “Food.”

He exhaled slowly. “Aishani.”

“Dr. Grumpy.”

But her voice lacked its usual spark.

He didn't argue.

Just pulled the juice closer to her.

“Finish it.”

“You’re not my father.”

“No. I’m worse. Finish it.”

She obeyed silently.

That silence bothered him again.

He went to the counter, bought a paneer wrap, and placed it in front of her.

“Eat this too. You didn’t eat breakfast properly.”

She froze.

How does he know that?

“You track my meals now?”

“I observe patterns.”

“That’s creepy.”

“That’s accurate.”

“Don’t talk. Eat.”

“Don’t order me.”

“Then finish it.”

“Don't stare at the food.”

“I am doing research.”

“What Research!?”

“How long food can survive without being eaten.”

Revansh exhaled. “Don't test my patience.”

She sighed. And she ate.

Then her eyes lit up “Cafeteria should have phuchkas here, you know.”

“Don't talk while you are eating.”

She gave him a look.

“Doctor more activated again.”

“I’ll look into it. Now eat.” He replied.

With that he left.

Revansh’s Pov

Stairs.

Cafeteria.

Corridor.

Three times in one day.

She laughs it off.

Jokes through it.

But her breathing doesn’t lie.

Her face doesn’t lie.

And today, for the first time

Her eyes didn’t lie.

Something is definitely wrong.

And she is trying very hard to make sure no one knows.

Especially me.

I leaned back on the sofa, staring at nothing.

She thinks I don’t notice.

But I do.

And I don’t like what I’m noticing.

I know that she is dealing with something by seeing her face. And I need to find it.

♡♡

Some secrets aren’t spoken.

They are hidden between breaths.

And sometimes,

The person who says the least…

Sees the most.

✿✿✿

He hasn’t asked anything yet.

She hasn’t told anything yet.

But the silence and little conversations between them?

It’s getting louder.

And every clusmy girl like Aishani needs her "Be Careful" like Dr.Revansh. 🤭❤️ #ReAshi🧿
