♡Inayah's pov♡

The sun casts a warm, golden glow on the rippling surface of the lake.

Tall, swaying grasses line the banks, their green hues mirrored in the calm. A gentle breeze carries the sweet scent of lilies that dot in the water.

Rays of sunlight dance upon the wings of the birds sitting between treetops gracefully.
As I look in the lake, I see few fishes occasionally breaking through the surface causing delicate concentric ripples to radiate before they disappear back into the depth below.

The water itself glows with a deep, sapphire hue, reflecting the clear blue sky above with a distorted image of my face.

An Image of a figure forms next to me, As I turn to look who it is, I see Arhaan standing in front of me.

He was breathing a bit heavily like he just ran to be here.

I raise my eyebrows as I glance at him. Questioning him for his reason to be here with my gaze.

"Inayah?" he had a look of determination, like he was mentally preparing himself to say something to me.

"yess?" he walks next to me, as I turn back to look at the lilies in the lake again.

The sky is slowly transforming into shades of orange, pink and purples, casting a dream like haze above.

We are standing in silence, trying to absorb the comfort the nature is providing.

" I love lilies." I say randomly trying to clear the tension which kind of always stays between us for some reason.

A gasp of surprise leaves me as I see Arhaan going in the lake.

"what are you doing?"

He slowly makes his way in the centre of the lake which is covered with abundance of vibrant lilies.

His movements are slow and deliberate. His arms glidding through the water, causing the lilies to sway back and forth.

What is he doing?

As I bend down to touch the water, its freezing cold.

After few minutes he swims back to where I was standing.

Getting out of the water, I see how his clothes are now fully wet, the white shirt he was wearing before now clungs tightly on his chest. Water dripping from his hair.
But an unexpected sourness erupts in my heart. As I see him holding a bunch of lilies in his hand.

Lilies are often associated with love and devotion towards someone, did he do all that to bring those lilies.

I know I shouldn't feel this, but this feeling of bitternes still appears in my chest as I imagine him giving them to his 'lover'.

His eyes flickers to me as he lifts his hand to give me the lilies.

What?

"why are you giving it to me?" my eyes furrow as I ask him.
