Chapter 18 : Missing Him.

Naina's POV

I opened my eyes from the surreal moment I just had.

I kissed him!

No stupid! He kissed you!

Whether I kissed him or he
kissed me, that doesn't matter.

What matters is that we kissed!

Stop behaving as if you're not a virgin anymore!

Being kissed is totally new for me and I was still coming to the terms with this entire new feeling, when Karan decided to give me another emotional blow.

"I love you, Naina", he confessed.

I stared him back with a dumbfound expression.

Karan shifted his weight and stood up. He offered me his hand and it is only then when I realised that I haven't told him about me being engaged to be married.

Once, I was on my feet, he said, " I'm really sorry for this blunt delivery but, I've been trying to say this since long time and.... all I wanted to say is, I've been in love with you the day I saw you. I love you with all your fallibilities and infallibilities ", he took a deep breath and took my hands in his and went down on his knees and , " Naina Kapoor, will you marry me for I can't live without you? "

A warm feeling enveloped me but a part of me saddened, as I would be telling him about my engagement.

"Karan, I need to tell you something", I said breathless.

"That can wait, Naina! But first answer my question and ", he said shifting on his other knee, "my knee hurts, dear. Please, don't make me suffer", he added chuckling.

I knew he wouldn't get back onto his feet until, I answer his question. With my hands in his , I sat on the chair. He tensed up and his body went rigid.

"What is it, Naina? You are scaring me! ", he said.

Karan, I'm engaged!", I said.

My words hit him hard and his handsome face was now expressionless.

"You're engaged", he stood up leaving my hands.

"Karan! listen to me...", I said trying to draw his attention.

"It's my mistake! I shouldn't have assumed things! ", Karan said looking away.

"Karan, please hear me out once! ", I said turning him around to face me.

"I think you should be leaving. It late already and I don't want your dad to be worried ", he said dismissing my all attempts to talk to him.

"Karan...."

"Kabir will drop you home and I'll have my chauffeur bring your car to your home by tommorow morning ", with that said, Karan left ; leaving me gawking at his back.

Now, what was I suppose to do?

Move your lazy ass so that Kabir can drop you, idiot!

When I went back inside, Karan was no where to be found.

Instead, I bumped into Tanya, " do you know where Karan is, Tanya? "

"I guess he left. Did you guys have a fight or something....", she said placing a concerned hand onto mine.

"No, no.....absolutely not", your brother in law just proposed to me I thought.

"Are you sure? ", concern still lingering on Tanya's face.
