||Love That Brings You Back - ON HOLD||

Chapter 2: The Fateful Night~Under The Starry Sky

Hi Everyone! Sorry for disappearing. I had a great Eid! Hope you all had a great time too. I am back with a new chapter today. 

I wrote earlier that both kartik and Naira are cardiologists. I am changing Kartik to be a Orthopedic Surgeon and Naira to be a Cardiac Surgeon. Due the study time requirement in USA, I didn't want them to be surgeons. Now I have my reasons and can manage the time. Hope there wouldn't be any confusions.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naira walked inside the Goenka Villa early in the evening. Nandita, the caretaker had informed her that Swarna wasn't well. After making sure that all her patients and duties are taken care of, Naira rushed back home. Before she can go upstairs, Nandita gave her updates about every member of the family. They already had their diner and were well settled for the night. Even Manish was back and has been taking care of Swarna. Naira felt relieved, but when asked about diner she just refused to have it. Straight she went to her Ma and Pa's room. She found Swarna asleep and Manish busy with some files. After greeting him goodnight, she headed to her room. Nope! His room, which was supposed to be their once!

Stepping inside, Naira took a thorough look at the room. Something that she does every time she stays over at the Goenkas. The room was filled with their memories. Their pictures, family pictures and some best moments of their lives. It was part of the surprise that he had been planning since the time both the families had started their wedding preparations. Sighing, she moved to get something from the closet for the night. There again she couldn't do anything, but stare at the view. She touched their clothes that were hanging inside the closet side by side. While her hands were touching those lifeless fabrics inside the closet, her thoughts took her to a world, where they were together and happy....

It was a beautiful night. Under the open sky two lovebirds were lying on the bonnet of their car while gazing at stars. Kartik's one hand was behind his head and another was stretched out for Naira to lay her head over it comfortably. After some time, Naira snuggled closer to Kartik and kept her head over his chest while her left hand clutched the thin fabric of his shirt tightly. Immediately his free hand went onto encircling her waist in an attempt to hold her closer to him. Once he realized that she wouldn't start the conversation, he asked her "Kya hua hai Jaan?". Naira just closed her eyes tighter and made her hold on his shirt firmer. She told him softly "I just want to stay like this". Kartik smiled at her cuteness and thought not to disturb her until she is ready to speak.

After good 15 minutes Naira opened her eyes and brought her head up to check on Kartik. His eyes were closed with a peaceful smile playing on his lips. She put her head back on his chest and thought not to ruin the moment with whatever thoughts that has been clouding her mind since last few days. It was just a bad dream and she has been overthinking it, finally she concluded. While playing with his shirt button, Naira spoke "Why don't you let me come into your room nowadays, whenever I visit Goenka Villa?". Kartik knew this is not what that has been bothering her, but decided not to push it. He just tightened the grip on her waist, to let her know that he was listening to her. She made a pout and voiced out her concern further "Jabse wedding preparation shuru hui hai tabse!". His answer was very simple "In a matter of month, the room will be all yours. I am no one to stop you". A smile crept upon her beautiful face listening to him, but she needed to know about his plans. She told him in a protesting tone "Not your or mine, but our room Mr. Goenka".

Without looking at him, she knew he is having this smirk on his face. When no reply came, she continued with her queries "What are you planning? Trying to hide things from your to be wife! Are we?". He thought to tease her "If you already know that I am planning something special and trying to keep it a secret from you, why are you hell bent on ruining the surprise Naira?". She complained like a kid "This is not fair. First you stop me from coming to our.." She paused for a moment realizing what she was saying and continued "I mean your room and then don't give me a valid reason also". Kartik sighed finding her impatient "You don't have to be embarrassed Jaan. What is mine; is yours. As much as the room belongs to me, it belongs to you. It is our room! Now the reason I don't let you come in because when you first step inside that room after our wedding, I want you to feel that nothing has changed. You are leaving behind everything for me. So I want to give you a small world of ours, where you feel at home".
