Chapter- 39

Kabir's POV

'Here,' she said as she handed me the envelope. 'I have not used the money,' she added further and that irritated me. I was so happy and suddenly my mood became sour. She left after we finished our cake and came back with this envelope to ruin my mood but I couldn't say anything.

I took he envelope and kept it aside. She took the plate and was leaving the room.

'Kavya,' I called her and she turned around and raised her eyebrows. I wanted to spend some more time with her. I didn't wanted her to go.

'Umm... ummm,' I didn't know what to say to make her stay.

'Um... you didn't tell me what you did today,' I asked and she came and sat beside me. 

Thank god.

'Oh. I forgot to tell you about it.'

Then she started telling me what she did today and I was just looking at how happy she was.

'When I sat in the park, I remembered Sohum which made me upset for some time but overall it was a good day,' she said and him name on her lips saddened me. Even though I know that I should not be upset as he will always remain a big part of her life but it upsets me.

'I am glad that you enjoyed today.' I forced a smile so that she will not know that I got upset.

'Thank you for everything, Kabir. Even though I am living alone for the past three years, but for the first time I enjoyed by myself and, you know why?' she asked.

'Why?' 

'Because I knew you were just a phone call away, Kabir. I know if something happens, I will call you and you will run to me and I was right,' she said and now I had a genuine smile on my face but before I could say something uncle called us for dinner.

'Wait,' I shouted as she was leaving and she turned around and looked at me.

But, I dont know what to say. I dont want to let her go. I want to spend some more time with her as I don't know if I will get the chance to spend time with her when we go back.

'Uhh... do you want to go for a walk after dinner?' I asked.

'Okay. Let's go for a walk.'

'Then I will ask Anand to stay with Raj for some time,' I told her.

'But he will get late for us,' she said and I smiled.

'It's okay. He will not mind,' I said.

'Okay. As you say,' she said with a shrug and left.

After she left, I plucked a lily from a bouquet and kept it in my wallet.

This will always be special to me.

*****

'The weather is nice, right?' she asked as we were walking.

'Yes. It's been so many years that I have come out after dinner.'

'Yes. I have also not gone out after dinner since so many years. I used to go with mom before marriage.

'And after marriage?' I asked.

'After marriage, I never went out for a walk as Sohum used to get tired after a long day of work,' she answered but I didn't know what to say.

We started walking slowly. I looked at her and a smile etched on my lips. She had closed her eyes and was enjoying the wind.

'By the way, when did you last went for walk?' she asked.

'When I came here few years back, I used to go for a walk with princess.'
