summary: kartik wants to rush home as fast as he can so as to give his sick girlfriend hugs and kisses.

sick! naira and comforting! kartik. (hehe)

*****

kartik sighed to himself, his fingers absent mindedly drumming on his thigh as he looked out of the car's window. it was late at night. the sky was dark and dull; no stars visible in the ever light-polluted new delhi.

though it was the weekend, he still had to go for a court hearing he couldn't delay. "when are we gonna reach bhaiya?" he asked the driver.

"there is too much traffic, kartik baba. i am afraid we might take atleast one hour to reach." the driver responded.

usually during the rides, naira always kept him company. earlier kartik used to go on his bike but naira being protective, obviously asked him to take girish bhaiya, their trusted driver with him.

kartik understood her fear as he used to drive his bikes at a high speed, which, in turn just increased her worry as she lost her parents in a very similar way. her father was drunk and due to that, she lost her dear mother as well. (he was just upset that he couldn't drive anymore)

not that he minded girish bhaiya, he was a great company. he always greeted him with a simple smile whenever they met. girish bhaiya was always in a good mood. he would never complaint even when kartik ran late. girish bhaiya would let him chose the radio and often reminded him to raise the partition that separated the front seats and the back seats incase he needed some time alone or to relax.

kartik was growing tired. he just wanted to go home and cuddle with his girlfriend, who was suffering from cold. he had strictly ordered her to stay in the bed.

as dramatic as this sounds but his ever so workaholic girlfriend whined when she got the orders. he smiled, already imagining a sick naira, surrounded by tissues, cough syrups, medicines and blankets with her little red nose and pale face.

just half an hour into the traffic, the car had been moving slowly, he got a call. smiling, he answered, "hi jaan."

"kaaartikkkk- i miss you!! where are you!?!" he heard the whining of his wife.

he let out a small chuckle, "jaan im heading back home. how is your cold? any better?"

he sighed and shook his head when he heard some sniffles, "better than before. i stayed in the bed whole day resting, eating fruits, drinking water, sleeping and having medicines; just like you said."

he could practically see her pouting, "my my, love? really? you listened to me for the first time. this date needs to be remembered." he gasped.

"whatever. when are you coming backkkk?? i need cuddles."

he sighed, "not anytime soon my love. the traffic seems to be endless and i'm not quite sure how much it will take us to get out of here."

"reach fast. i miss you." she said and cut the call.

an hour later, his phone went off and he instantly knew who it was.

kaaaartikkkkk

i know love, i'm sorry.
