true love never dies ?

Heartbreak!

Kartik gulped one fourth his bottle of whiskey in one sip, making a warm sensation gush through his throat. In reality, it wasn't the alcohol that was intoxicating him, but the memories of his beloved Naira. He felt as he was losing grip of his world, the whiskey was taking control like it did every day for the past two treacherous years.

Kartik remembered how Naira had twisted her foot. No matter the ego, he hated to see her in pain. Kartik lifted her in his arms and took her to the hospital. The arms that had felt so friendly and inviting two years back were now unknown.

Even durning the time of the injection, Kartik's heart broke seeing Naira hurt and scared. Oh, how much he wanted to hold her in his loving arms at that time. Unfortunately like always, his ego overtook his heart. The good thing about the whole day was that Kartik got his ziddi sherni back. He might've told himself that she was being annoying, but the whiskey told him better.

For the first time in two years, I saw my sherni back. The one that would always blackmail me to get my secrets out. My love looks so cute when she's stubborn. Her cheeks puff and her nose flares up. The crease on her brow line. My sherni, you're so cute . Who gave you a right to be this perfect. I'm in love with you. You asked me why I started drinking? What other option can I go to. Being sober, anger engulfs me. Being drunk my feelings can come out. I can live in memories of you, the only place that i've ever been happy in these years.

Kartik took another large gulp of his whiskey. His vision was blurring out now, and his head was getting heavy. Of course, this was an every day feeling now. He eyed the half finished bottle and put it aside, next to all the other bottles of whiskey. He new exactly what was going to happen next, his favorite part of being drunk.

Naira opened the door and skipped into Kartik's lap. She pulled his nose.
"Tum kyon mere saath nahi ruke Kartik? Tujhe pata hai mere foot mai chot aayi hai. Kya tum mujhe pyar nahi karte" Naira pouted at him.

"pyar? pyaar to tujhe 2 saal pehle sai zyada karta hoon. Every single second now I see dreams of you, like right now. It breaks my heart to see you in pain. I won't ever stop loving you. When I proposed to you for the first time I promised that iss janam mai yeh junoon kam nahi hoga, and I promise that again today." He replied, his eyes getting teary.

"Rote nahi mere mendak! I'm here with you always - in your heart. Whenever you call me I will come within a nanosecond." she said wiping his tears.

He tried cupping her face, but just like that she disappeared into thin air like she did every single day.

Kartik laughed at his own luck. "Business tycoon Kartik Goenka, millionaire; billionaire. But these titles owe no importance to me if my Naira isn't with me. She loved me when I was nothing and loved me when I was everything. I remember own tom and jerry fights, we were more best friends and then a couple. I love you Naira! And i'll never ever stop. I will get you back, I promise."

He took one last gulp of his whiskey and stumbled into bed. With shaking hands he took out his phone and kissed a picture of Naira, his daily ritual. He went to sleep, but the alcohol transported Naira next to him, snuggling close.
