Kaira - Two Years Later

Chapter 1

Today I met Kartik. My Mendak. For the first time in two years. Gosh, he hasn't changed at all. He is still that handsome idiot who I fell in love with 3 years ago. The only difference - a big one nonetheless- is that his smile has vanished. That spark in his eye is gone. He is the professor of my class, and his personality has changed completely. He isn't the same happy-go-lucky person he was 2 years ago, he was rude and cold. Not that I payed much attention to him, before I knew anything I spiraled into his arms. my home. Next thing I knew, I was crying a river and running out of the classroom. What must Kartik be thinking? The woman that used to be his Sherni is now an emotionally and mentally unstable person? Well, he is right. I am a wreck. But it is all his fault.

Even right now, at this second I am recollecting the memories of today. I cannot decide if today is the best or worst day in the last two years. Every single day I dreamt about Kartik arriving in Mumbai, and today when he finally did I chickened out.

He is all over the college group chat. Every single girl is texting about him, and how hot he looks. How dare they even look at something that is mine? Sorry - was mine. Thank god I came up with the excuse that my dad had called me home urgently, otherwise people would've thought there is something wrong with me. My brain doesn't even want to go back to that place, but ironically enough my heart wants to see Kartik every second of my life.

So here I am for the 720th night in a row crying myself to bed at 1 AM. Every time I shut my eyes, I see Kartik trying to wake me up to dance to 'Tip Tip Barsa Pani' for me. I see our pillow fights, and our cuddles going to sleep. I miss that more than anything. I miss his love. Most husbands expect intimacy after marriage, but a Kartik didn't even want that. He was satisfied with forehead kisses and long hugs. That's how pure our love was.

Then I remember how he accused me of killing his brother, ruining his sisters life, and being the cause of his mothers pain. So what if he loved me more than anything? What is the value of love that has no trust? Yes, the 'I hate you' I said to him was a complete lie. It was the worst thing I have ever said in my life. But I can't ignore the fact that he said that he hates me back, right? The truth is that Kartik is here right now, and I can't run away from him any longer. I have to face him.

I take the yellow prescription from my nightstand, and pop a pill into my mouth. It was the only way I could sleep without my teddy bear - my mendak - next to me. Soon, I drifted off into a sleep, half dried tears still present on my cheek.
