Dev was resting in his king-sized bed with his eyes closed. Her voice awakened the slumber of Dev. He smiled at her, "Why do you take so long to come?"
"Devil, I wanted to ask you something. Can I?" Akshara asked him, approaching him with stammering words.
"I know something is eating you. What is it? " Dev sat down to lean on his headrest.
Akshara tiptoed to stand by his bed as the icy floor in his dreams was too cold. "I wanted to know many things. I may ask tomorrow. You will be exhausted after a long day. I must let you take proper rest."
When Akshara turned to go toward her bed, Dev caught her hand and insisted on sitting on his bed. "Tell me, I am all ears."
Akshara thought for a while, took a deep breath, and sat on the edge of his bed,

That’s so rude to address me with a cruel word, Sara.”Akshara arched her eyebrows in wonder, “Thanks for the word, indeed you are a cruel demon that enjoys torturing me,” she folded her hands under her chest and looked away from him with a stern face.“I don’t know why I am getting amused rather annoyed by your words,” Dev told while analysing the changes happening within him. He wanted to know what Akshara have done to his cold heart that was frozen for centuries. So, he pulled her in his arms and asked, “What have you done to me?”“What I did, everything you did.

Ivan asked while leaning on the floor beside him, staring at the moon. "It’s surprising that you are still awake." Dev looked at the full moon and exhaled his distress. "She is suffering." Ivan started to ask who but bit his lower lip knowing the answer, "What happened to her?" "I saw her wounds," Dev said in a sad tone with furrowed brows. Ivan wondered at his reply, "What? Wounds? It’s surprising." "Surprised? Ivan, I am worried about her. You said she is like your sister. How can you be surprised at her wounds? " Dev lifted his head, turned to his side, and showed his anger.
