Tara wanted to free her wrists from his hands, but for some reason, she found herself losing strength under his gaze, especially when he was asking her to stay.
However, she thought now was the time to tell him what she wanted to do since the moment she heard he got hurt because of her.
She said as she lowered her head, "I am sorry, Azu...I really am...I never thought you would get hurt...like this...I should have protected you…" Tara began to sob, but she tried her best to stifle it since she didn't want to appear weak before him.
"Will you forgive me?" She asked with her head still lowered as she held his hand softly and with a pained tone added, "I c-can stay away...if you don't want to see me anymore…"
Azu felt his eyes becoming warm, seeing that she was feeling so guilty and sad about what happened to him, and decided to tell her what he really felt.
