Before she could overthink more, Vihaan calmly picked up the extra pillows from the sofa nearby and placed them in a straight line between the middle of the bed.
One after another. Creating a proper divider.
Then he looked at her.
"See?" he said simply.
"Now it's two separate beds."
Kanak looked at the pillow wall silently.
"You sleep on your side," Vihaan continued calmly.
"And I'll stay on mine."
Kanak simply stared at him. Then slowly… A small relieved smile appeared on her face again. And somehow, seeing that smile, Vihaan felt strangely at peace too.
Vihaan quietly smiled while looking at Kanak. Then slowly, he stepped a little closer towards her. Kanak's heartbeat instantly became nervous again.
Vihaan gently held the loose sleeves of the oversized shirt she was wearing and looked at them carefully.
"These aren't a little too big for you?" he said softly.
The sleeves were so long that her entire hands were almost hidden inside them.
Kanak looked down shyly.
