"Thank you so much." Narika said, still holding onto him, in fear that he's going to leave her. Well, she's fully aware that he can do that, and wouldn't mind leaving her now just to punish her for running away.
That's why she confessed earlier that her running away wasn't because of him, no! It was all her. It was because she was afraid of what she was but now staring into Adrik's green eyes, that held nothing but love and admiration towards her. It made her wonder why he isn't looking at her this way all these while.
She has a lot to ask him, firstly was how exactly he's human. Wasn't he a ghost, so how can she feel his muscles and all that under his clothes?
She hoped he didn't find her creepy for checking him out. But she couldn't look away. Adrik was devilishly handsome. He was the kind of man mother's would warn their children to stay away from, but yet here she was, he was the person that couldn't stay away from her.
