She was a barbie doll and he was an angry young man. Yet love bloomed between them. She was a Disney princess and he was her Prince Charming and love came without a question. What happens when time, people and plots question their togetherness?
I am on my laptop reading and editing the details of the deal which Rohit leaked when the power went off. Everything suddenly went dark .
Why the hell isn't the inverter not on yet
I shut my laptop and I start walking out taking my mobile with the torch on. As I am about to reach the stairs I hear a sudden shriek from our bedroom
Naira....
I ran to the room and opened the door to find her sobbing inconsolably. I scoot over the bed and pull her into my arms to comfort her.

Thats when I realised that her entire body was shaking
"Naira...naira.....its nothing...relax...relax jaan" I assure her wishing that will help her get better
I rub my palms over her back to comfort her but her condition is worsening with every second. She gasps for breath and she is profusely sweating .
"Naira ..see here...see Im with you tell me what's happening", I tell her
She just looks at me with misery filled eyes . I now get what's happening. She is having a panic attack
Why is she having one in the middle of her sleep?
After minutes of trying and consoling her panic attack comes to an end.
"Naira what happened? How did you get a panic attack?" I ask her lifting her chin and making her look into my eyes
"I had a dream about papa and his punishments and on waking up I found the room locked and completely dark so I got this panic attack" she says
"Lets go to the doctor" I say as I try to get up
"Its usual thing Kartik..I keep getting them every now and then no need to go to a doctor" she says coolly but I feel as if the sky is collapsing on my head
"How long has she been suffering from panic attacks?" I think
"Naira why didn't you tell me about this?" I ask her with anger boiling up inside me
"It was after you went to boarding school, papa's dark room punishments became more frequent that I used to get panic attacks anywhere and everywhere. As I grew up I got used to it and the attacks became rarer that I even forgot that I had an issue of panic attack" she says gripping my hand
"From childhood you get those punishments then why did you develop panic attacks suddenly after I left?" I ask her
"The answer is obvious from your question" she mumbles as she clutches to my shirt and buries her face in my bosom
