"Love doesn't need to be perfect. it just needs to be true "

Naira put the notebook back on the shelf where she had found it
Kartik entered inside
Sorry, I was late. What did u do? Kartik asked
I was admiring the view - Naira said pointing towards balcony
Naira yearned to pamper him with her love and affection. She wanted to crush him in a hug
Most importantly she must talk to him about her growing feelings for him
She promised herself that she would do it today
To calm her messed thoughts she leaned on the balcony and gazed at the beautiful view outside.
Kartik came and stood behind her.
She felt his breath on her neck
She sensed the warmth from him and became feverishly alive.
He back hugged her
She turned halfway to look in his eyes
His index finger pointed to the lake
"I would love to stand here with you every day appreciating this beautiful view. Do you know that Naira?
She wanted the same and leaned on his chest and both were enjoying the beautiful view and both are peacefully enjoying
Kartik removed the scRunchie from her ponytail

Let your hair free, Naira
Kartik murmured into her ears
He inhaled the fragrance of her hair and gently stroking them
He tightened his hold on her and protectively holding her
His fingers traced her cheeks and the sides of her arms
She shuddered in response
" are you feeling cold? Kartik demanded and pulled her inside the room
No Kartik, I want to stay here
And then with a little pause she continued
With you forever

They both lost in each others eyes
Both have feelings for each other
Kartik outlined her eyes and lips as if memorising the shape. She shot her eyes loving the heady sensation that filled her

Look at me Naira
He turned her around to face him
With eyes filled with longing , he gently lifted her face
His lips kissed her chin tentatively
His mouth then touched her temple and he warned
I have to kiss u Naira ... or I will go mad

Her arms were wrapped around him
I want you to Naira replied with passion
Are you serious?

Never more in my life- Naira reassured
Their lips met and they kissed passionately
They were in their own world.
And then they hugged each other tightly and finally confessed each other
I love you kartik/ Naira

And just then both parted their heads yet remain in each other arms and looked in each other eyes
Kartik cupped her face and asked
What did u said? Please say one more time

Yes kartik I love you.. I love u .. I love u
She said with happy tears
And Kartik also have some happy tears in his eyes
I love you too he replied and
Then again they hugged each other tightly

Naira then tapped his shoulder and reminded him that they have to decorate hall for his parents anniversary
He just want to be with her in his arms
But unwillingly he broke hug and they both hand in hand reach downstairs and started to decorate the area with their cute nok jhoks and some romantic moments
The music system was set up and everything was in place. They switched off the lights
Only the candle at the centre of the cake was lit

The doorbell rang
Kartik opened the door
The Goenka stepped inside

They shouted and popped the party popper

"Wow" exclaimed Swarna looking stunned

They switched on the lights
The applause went through the hall like exploding fireworks
Swarna fed a piece of cake to manish
Love glittered her eyes
Manish handed her his gift of love

They both were lost in their moment
And Kartik and Naira adoring them

Kartik nudged Naira and said we will also celebrate our love like them after 25 years - his eyes conveyed
The they all proceed towards dining table for dinner

Kartik and Naira sitting beside each other And kartik is caressing her hand under table and she is blushing and signalling him to leave her hand
But he was not at all listening and continuing his work

Swarna noticed their expressions and have some doubt
She asked Kartik do you want to share something with us
He looked towards Naira and then replied
Actually ma pa

Swarna and manish looked towards each other both are shocked but somewhere they have some idea when they saw Naira at their home in morning

Tears formed in Naira eyes
She was staring Kartik blankly
Kartik was totally shocked
But mom I live only Naira and I will not marry anyone other than my Naira

Naira started to leave from the table
She started cursing her fate that she is not meant to be happy in her life
But Kartik held his wrist
And stood in front of her

But Kartik your family do not want me in your life
I am not meant to be happy in my life.. God always do unfair with me .. Am I that bad - Naira said
She started crying heavily

But she started shivering and crying heavily and started remembering her past and just then she fainted in his arms

He was hugging her protectively in his arms
And just then doctor came
And doctor checked her and told them this is just becoz of stress.
And told them to take care of her and give her medicines
