Kaira - Two Years Later

Chapter 2

It has been a few weeks since Kartik has started teaching in my college. Well, these few weeks have been one of the most eventful in the past couple years. Uncovering and recovering Kartik's drinking habits, Bhai & Bhabhi's anniversary. I even thought I saw a little love reflecting in Kartik's eyes. He talked to a doctor about my injury, which shows that he cares about me. Right? I keep trying to stop thinking about him, but I can't bring myself to do so. Just like he did 3 years ago, he's making me fall more in love with him day by day. Today I made excuses just to see him. How scrumptiously hot he looked in that green shirt. Kartik has gotten a little calmer. He is slowly becoming my old Kartik again. However, that doesn't mean that our old relationship will be back. Yes, I pray to God to heal our relationship, but the circumstances and our families are making it seem close to impossible. His mother hates me. Just my luck.

Kartik needs to learn how to trust me. When did he ever chose me in front of a misunderstanding? Granted, I now know that I should have told Kartik about Shubham's addiction. He is my soul, and what can you hide from your own soul?

Many times I think, "you know what? just screw it" and have the overpowering urge to run into his arms. I know better. I need to be strong. I am a Sherni.

But I am not just a lioness, I am Kartik's lioness. The one that fought with him on the banks of the holy river Ganga back in 2016. The one that went to Rishikesh to get him back in 2018. The one who can boss him around, and the one who can indefinitely share his sorrows with him. I often think, "Why must my mind always go back to thoughts of you Kartik?" My heart laughs and answers, "congratulations, Naira Goenka. You're in love. And you have been for 4 years now."

I try to control the shaking of my arm. My stomach knots and I instantly feel nauseous. This is the feeling I get every couple of days now: withdrawal. I drank every day for two years and the unforeseen halt of it caused these terrible symptoms in me. I could feel my stomach churning. I had to grab the bed and lay down. Oh, how much I wish my sherni was here to take me into her arms. I would put my head in her lap and instantly get the best sleep that I've ever gotten.

It hits me how she is no longer the same Naira Goenka she was before. We might be ignoring our problems as of now, but it doesn't mean they aren't there. Naira always thinks that she can handle everything by herself, but I am her other half. How many times did I tell her to share every small thing with me?

There is a point every day where I want to pick up the bottle and chug it completely. Then I remember my promise to Naira, and I know for a fact that my Sherni will eat me alive if I break her promise!

We have already broken so many promises in our relationship, and I don't want to break any more. The truth is, any more distance between Naira & I will be the end of me.

Authors Notes -

Two souls that love each other beyond saying. They both miss each other and want everything to be the same again. Yet over and over they are letting their minds win over their hearts.

But as Naira said during Kaira Milan 3, 'gusse aur pyaar mai hamesha pyaar ki jeet hoti hai'.

Will her words be proven correct? Will they be the setting stone for Kaira Milan 7?

The actual plot will start from the next chapter😊
