Destined

Chapter 12

Kartik was sitting beside Naira...in deep thoughts. Dev and Sona had left.

After an hour...Naira slowly opened her eyes and saw Kartik sitting beside her...his head on the headrest and sleeping...she remembered their conversation and tried to get up from the bed ..but kartik woke up in the meantime.

K: Naira how are you feeling now?

N:( still angry)..i am okay...i need to leave

K: Are you mad ..kahi nahi jaa rahi tum

N: Aur ye decide karne wale tum kaun hote ho?

K: Hawww....Naira tumhari yaadaasht chali gayi kya?

Naira rolled her eyes hearing him

K: Okay fine...dekho abhi bhut raat hori hai...tumhe jana hai na...kal chali jana...abhi please yahan rest karlo

N: Fine

K: Maine tumhare liye kuch khane ko lata hu

N: Mujhe bhook nahi hai

K: Maine sapna to nahi dekh raha na....naira ko bhook nahi hai ..naira the sherni ko?

N: Kartik i know what you are trying to do...its not helping....tumne jo kiya hai aaj...main use nahi bhool sakti

K: I know and i am really sorry....and he went to get her dinner...

After dinner Kartik was sitting in the balcony thinking...what could have happened that has lead to her condition...

K: Kya karu...jaake poochu?...nahi...aur vaise bhi poochunga to kaunsa bataegi....

Just then Naira was going to kitchen to get herself water...saw him in balcony... talking to himself....she chuckled a little...and after taking water...came back in her room... thinking what he must be talking about

N: Shut up Naira....vo kuch bhi kare...mujhe kya ..khudse baat kare ya deewar se....i dont care....vaise bhi kal tu chali jaegi yaha se....but jaungi kahan?...olive se poochti hu...agar uske apartment mein space hai..she dialled her number but she didn't pick...so she thought to call tomorrow morning and decided to sleep but sleep was far from her eyes...she was very anxious regarding whats gonna happen tomorrow...what she would do...how she would do

She thought to go to the balcony and have some fresh air.... even though she knew kartik would be there...she went....

Seeing naira standing at the door of the balcony....

K: Naira tum yaha?...tum theek to ho na?... uneasy to ni feel hora?...

N: Kartik i am okay...just wanted some fresh air...

K: oh okay....(thinking about asking her the reason of her panic attacks)

There was an awkward silence between them....both stealing glances at each other....one had pain in them and one had guilt....

Kartik after gathering a lot of courage asked

K: Naira

N: Hmm

K: Can i ask you something

N: Raising her eyebrow...what now?

K: Since when are you having panic attacks and why?

N:(shocked)...None of your business

K: Naira please

N: What please ...why do you even think i will tell you after yesterday

Kartik pleading through his eyes...but naira didn't melt

K: I am really sorry for yesterday....i know my sorry wont change anything but....still i want to tell you that i regret every word i said not only to you but also Ruhaan and i have apologised to him...he to even have forgiven me
