As soon as Aditya picked her up in his arms, Aisha's heart raced. He held a soft expression and she could feel his heart racing close to hers. Its sound resonated loud and clear. Amidst the silence of nature, accompanied by the sound of crackers mixed with beautiful songs of nightingales. Their heartbeats echoed loudly, synchronizing perfectly with the other sounds around them.
Except for the little sinny light of the moon, there was no other sign of light outside. She looked towards the old wooden gate and gulped as she saw golden light coming from their cracks. As if calling her into the brightness it had to offer and abandoning the darkness outside.
