Euphoria

Part 14 Heaven

"Love me
Like the little
Drops of rain
Love each other.

Without rhyme,
Without reason,
And yet together
Fill the ocean."

❤️💫

Sara's POV

I'm marveling at the man present in front of me. Kartik is an amazing human. Everything seems so fine now, when in his arms. I'm feeling Secured. Loved. Smiley. I just love him.
Despite of existence of something I never told him, he understood it all. It doesn't matter to him. My past, my life history, my hiding, my secret keeping habit. He just let it all go. Because what matters to him is me, my present, my problems, my misery, and us. He made me sit on my bed and again kissed my forehead.

"Sara..!" He made me look at him as I was wondering about a lot of things and I was not facing him.

"See! Sabka past hota hai, tumhara bhi hai, mera bhi hai, discussion hum shayad krte..to tum mujhe zaroor batati I know.
But humne kabhi discussion hi nhi kia na..baba! I never asked you. To fir tum apne aap ko blame kese kr sakti ho." He sat in front of me, on the floor, while saying these words.

"Kartik.. stop!!!" I whispered in a low tone.

"Did I say something wrong?" He asked all tensed.

"Noo!! It's just..I don't have words. Main kya kahu tumse..!" I broke down in tears without completing my sentence. He's making me speechless.
He's making me go weak in my knees.

"Take your time. Aaj ka din vese bhi bhut hectic hai tumhare..." I stopped him from speaking further as I smashed my lips on his. It was Passionate, demanding yet soothing. I love how he reciprocates everytime to our kiss. He's everything I'll ever need.

During this drug scenario, I never thought I would be able to be at peace again. But having Kartik next to me, helps me heal. I never even realised how I slowly started developing feelings for him in the start of us. Right now, after kissing him, I am feeling liberated. He's providing me with that peace, I was so desperately searching for. Plus it's not that I have kissed him for first time today , but today what I felt during kissing him, him kissing me on my forehead, was much deeper.

It's this moment, this day I'm Realising how deep our relationship has run. Has he forgiven me? For my bad behaviour to him? If yes, then I can't be more thankful to god. I really don't want him to know why I have done to him. At least for now, when everything, every hurdle  seems easy with him, when I'm in his arms, I don't want to ruin it.

"Sara..!"

"Haa!?" I replied.

"Tumhe pata hai..aaj sach me tumne sab kuch akele handle kia..kisi ki help ke bina, without anyone's moral support, amidst the hatred, you did it." He placed his hand on my head lovingly and stared at me.

"You don't know but you were there, you all were there."

"Ab Tum maano ya na maano... Aaj ka din sirf tumne akele bitaya hai, or jhela hai..or jeet bhi jaogi. And you know one thing??" He looked at me making a funny face with eyebrows up.

"Hanji boliye.." I gave him my toothy smile and twitched my brows.

"I love you Sara bahut saara."

"Saras che." I replied in gujarati and he smiled.

With Kartik by my side, the evening seemed like fraction of a minute. We were busy with each other, cuddling, eating, crying, discussing how my interrogation went and other stuff. I told him how much I am feeling sorry to behave so rudely to him. And as expected, he said nothing in that regard, instead just uttered "Sara I know hume ye sort karna hai but I will talk to you about it surely. Its your time to heal now. Or haan jab bhi hum humare bare me bat karenge, to be ready, it's gonna be serious." my facial expressions tensed as he said that but he chuckled at me. 

"Arre baba..!! Thoda serious to hona padega na Sara. Break up hua tha humara." he dramatically quoted in the air and I nodded jokingly. 

"Vese are we back again?" he asked me and his question threw me in a series of thoughts. Should we? What about him? I don't know if NCB will be satisfied or if there will be an another questioning session? Bashing? Hate? But what about our love? That has just increased in the recent days of separation. I seriously didn't have answer. 

"This is my time to heal. Right?" I repeated his lines and he raised his eyebrows in a witty manner.

"Princess ke liye mehnat karni padegi matlab?"

"Mehnat nhi, mai to tumhari hi hu, dur ho yaa paas!" I smiled as he was saddened with my twisted answer. 

"hmm" and then he nuzzled his face in the crook of my neck. 

"You know Kartik, everything seems so easy now. Par..?" I stopped as I was about to give him hints about the truth for which I broke up with him.

"Par kya?"

"Kuch nahi." I smiled sadly and moved towards him, and embraced him in an ever tight hug. 

Around 9, amma called us both to have dinner and we went downstairs. After long time I will have a good dinner with my family, though today it has been toughest for me. All thanks to Kartik. He's my medicine to all the ailments.

I was expecting Orry to join us as he was with me, when I came back home. And I'm so forgetful, that I didn't get time to interact with him. He's a sweetheart.

"Amma Orhan kaha hain?" I asked her.

"Mai yaha hu yaha hu yahan.." he came singing the famous song.

"Come sit na..!" I said, Kartik was silent all the while.

"Nhi...mai bas tumhara wait kar rha tha..ke tum kamre se bahar niklo..pr tum to... Nikalne ka naam hi nhi le rahi thi. Ab mai chalta hu.." he eyed Kartik.

"Nhi.. actually..!" Before I could complete, he continued "oh yaha to Kartik bhi hai..dekha nhi maine tumhe.. khair.. enjoy your dinner with your BELOVED!" With sarcasm so evident in his words, He kissed my cheek and stormed out.

I looked towards Kartik to check if he's hurt or not but he just smiled and squeezed my hand to assure that he's okay.

"I love you Sara!" He whispered as we were hand in hand.

"I love you K." I smiled sadly.
