I'll Heal You

Chapter 19

At evening Kartik came to her flat.. he got surprised seeing all the decorations over there in the living room..

Dim light.. scented candles around.. AC on a low temperature.. a table for two kept in the middle.. soft drinks laid out.. walls decorated with stickers written 'love' on it in different language and different way..

Kartik : Itna decorations?? Kya hai Kya aaj?? Kisika birthday hai Kya??

Naira felt a little strange knowing he is not understanding what's happening..

Naira : Mazak Kar rahe ho..?? Tumhe samajh nahi aaya?? Birthday?? Yeh birthday ka decorations laga tumhe??

Then Kartik looked around carefully.. and noticed the stickers on the wall.. then something striked him and he looked around again.. okay now he knows.. the Ambience.. it was not for any birthday celebration.. his heart broke.. he bluntly looked at Naira.. gave her a mocking smile.. a smile indicating he is mocking himself or rather his luck..

Kartik : Toh??

Naira got excited..

Naira : Toh.. toh tumhe samajh mein aaya na??

Kartik : Hmm.. itna bhi duffer nahi hu main.. aa gya samjh mein.. so tell me.. kab aa raha hai woh??

Naira : Kya?? Woh kaun??

Kartik : Arrey the special one.. jiske liye tumne yeh sab Kiya hai.. kab aa raha hai woh??..

Naira was now really confused.. what is Kartik talking about?? No actually who is he talking about.. she kept staring at him for few moments whereas he tried to look here and there but not at her..

Okay.. so now she understood what's happening.. Kartik is thinking all of this is for someone else.. but who... Never mind!! She thought of disclosing it later..

Naira : Hm.. agar kisi ko aana hoga woh aa jayega.. pahle tum aao yahan pe baitho..

Naira dragged him to the table and made him sit and sat down herself facing him..

It was getting really irritating for Kartik.. he was visibly upset by now..

Kartik : Mujhe yahan pe kyun bitha dia tumne.. yahan pe to..

Naira : Shhh.. uff mendhak thodi der chup nahi rah sakte ho.. humesha tum barr barr karte ho.. aaj mujhe tumse kuch kahna hai.. it's very important..

Kartik was angry and upset with whatever happening but seeing Naira so excited he tried to let his thoughts go away for sometime and listen to her..  of course he already guessed she is going to confess that she loves someone .. May be Ishhan.. of course.. he is.. and all this is for him.. he wondered where is the luckiest person in the world who Naira have fallen for..

Kartik smiled and tried to look normal..

Kartik : Bolo.. main sun raha hu..

Naira : Umm.. okay to.. aisa hai ki.. nahi.. okay.. I mean.. uff!! Oh God.. accha..

Kartik : Naira kya bol rahi ho.. kuch samajh nahi aa raha hai.. why are you fumbling so much.. ??

Naira took a deep breath and started..

Naira : Okay.. so I wanted to say ki I .. I love someone.. yes Kartik I am in love.. main pyaar karti hu kisise.. aur woh meri life mein pata nahi kaise aaya.. kaise saari chizein aage badhi.. par bass it kept on proceeding.. tumhe pata hai woh main jisse pyaar karti hu na usne mujhe uss vakt sambhala jis vakt mere paas koi nahi tha.. (her voice started cracking) woh.. woh.. Kartik woh bahut accha hai.. main humesha sochti hu koi itna accha Kaisa ho sakta hai.. woh selflessly meri help karta hai humesha.. jabhi bhi mujhe zarurat ho.. 

Naira and Kartik both were having tears in their eyes.. Kartik was smiling like a fool thinking about the lucky guy..

Naira : Tumhe pata hai ussne.. ussne mere saare ghao bharein hai Kartik.. aaj main jo bhi hu sab usi ki vajah se hu.. woh mujhe sab kaam mei  support karta hai..

By this time he was sure it was Ishaan cuz Ishaan to her is a sweet heart who always helps her with her scripts and all.. but he kept listening for her sake..

Naira : Par maine uska bahut dil dukhaya hain.. he heals me and I hurt him.. always.. aisa kab tak chalega.. tumhe pata hai Kartik sabsi acchi baat Kya hai.. he loves me too.. ussne mujhe kaha bhi tha.. par maine.. maine bewakoofo ki tarah usse mana Kar dia.. par main Kya kartik tumhe to pata hai na main kitna darti hu.. kuch bhi naya shuru Karne se pehle mujhe itna darr lagta hai.. (taking a deep breath) but.. but now.. not any more... I am prepared for everything ahead.. with him .. both of us together can face anything and everything..

Kartik having tears in his eyes threatening to come out any time..

Kartik : Good!! Accha hai Naira.. nayi shuruaat to karna hi chahiye.. at least iss baar tum nahi dari.. woh jo bhi hai I am sure woh tumhe bahut khush rakhega and of course tum bhi.. itna pyaar jo karti ho..

He felt as if his world is crashing down with his own words..

Naira : Bass tumne bol diya na ki hum dono ek dusre ko khush rakhenge matlab we will..

He nodded with a faint smile..

Kartik : To.. saari baatein mujhse hi kah daali.. jisse kahna tha woh shakz kahan hain Naira..?? Usse nahi kahna..

Naira (with teary eyes) : Yahin hai.. kah dia usse..

Kartik : Yahan pe to sirf hum dono hai Naira.. koi aur to mujhe dikh nahi raha.. aur tum kah rahi ho ki...

She cut him in the middle..

Naira : Oh God!! Tumhe kuch samajh nahi aata Kya.. mendhak!!! Main tumhe kaise samjhau..

Kartik : Kya samjhana hai magar??

Naira : Ki woh kaun hai..

Kartik : Haan to batao kaun hai.. issmein samjhana Kya.. just tell..

He was blabbering when she pulled him up and made him stand.. the next moment she was on her knees.. holding his hand with both her palm..

Naira (with happy tears in her eyes) :  Kartik ... Woh Kartik hai.. Kartik Goenka.. yes!! Woh tum ho.. tum ho Kartik.. mere Kartik.. mere mendhak.. abhi tak maine jo bhi kaha sab tumhare liye kaha tha.. I know tum soch rahe the ki koi aur hai issiliye samajh nahi paaye.. recall Karo ki Maine Kya Kya kaha.. and you will relate to everything.. so .. so the person is here in front of me..  jiska intezar tum tabse Kar rahe the.. woh tabhi se tha.. I love you Kartik I love you..
