Aatika sat with Aasma in the dimly lit room, the heavy rain pelting against the windows, and the occasional clap of thunder sending shivers down their spines. Aasma's tears mingled with the sound of the storm outside, and Aatika held her close, trying to soothe her fears.

But amidst the storm, Aatika's thoughts drifted to Arhaan. He should have been home by now. Where could he be? Her worry grew with each passing minute, exacerbated by the news from his assistant about his dead phone battery and the blocked roads due to flooding.

Aatika glanced out the window, the rain coming down in torrents, obscuring her view of the outside world. She tried to distract Aasma, cooking noodles and putting on the TV, but her mind remained preoccupied with Arhaan's absence.

When her mother called with news of the worsening weather, Aatika's anxiety spiked. She tried to reassure her mother, but inside, panic gnawed at her. Where was Arhaan? Why hadn't he made it home yet?

As the night wore on and Aasma fell asleep in her lap, Aatika carried her to bed, her heart heavy with worry. And then, the lights went out, plunging the house into darkness. Aatika's breath caught in her throat, her fear of the dark creeping in.

She crept downstairs, her heart pounding in her chest, every shadow seeming to hold a sinister presence. And then, she stumbled upon a figure, tall and imposing, holding something dangerous in his hand. Her mind raced with images from the thriller movies she often watched, her imagination running wild with fear.

But as the figure stepped into the dim light, Aatika's breath caught in her throat. Before she could react, she slipped on the wet floor, falling into his arms. His touch sent shivers down her spine, his closeness intoxicating. She could feel the heat radiating from his body, his breath mingling with hers in the darkness.

His touch was electrifying, sending sparks dancing along her skin. She could feel the heat of his body, a beacon of warmth in the cold embrace of the storm.

"Arhaan," she whispered, her voice barely a breath against the roar of the storm. "You're here."

He said nothing, but his eyes spoke volumes, a mixture of longing and desire that sent her pulse racing. In that moment, they were the only two people in the world, lost in a sea of darkness and longing.

And then, he spoke, his voice a low rumble that sent shivers down her spine. "I couldn't stay away," he confessed, his words a declaration of surrender to the storm raging within them both.

Aatika's heart pounded in her chest as she looked up at him, her eyes searching his for answers she didn't know how to voice. But in the depths of his gaze, she found only the reflection of her own desires, mirrored back at her with an intensity that stole her breath away.

And then, in a moment that seemed to suspend time itself, Arhaan's lips crashed against hers, sending shockwaves of desire coursing through her veins. His kiss was hungry, desperate, as if he'd been waiting for this moment as eagerly as she had.

Aatika's mind reeled with conflicting emotions. She knew she should push him away, remind him of his responsibilities as a father and a divorced man. But in that moment, all she could think about was the fire that blazed between them, consuming them both in its passionate embrace.

Arhaan's hands roamed over her body, igniting sparks of pleasure wherever they touched. She melted into his touch, her inhibitions crumbling in the face of overwhelming desire. It was as if they were the only two people in the world, lost in their own private universe of passion and longing.

Aatika's heart pounded in her chest as she felt the weight of Arhaan's body against hers, his lips demanding and insistent against hers. She pushed against his chest, a feeble attempt to create some distance between them, but his grip tightened, refusing to let her go.
