Kaira - Two Years Later

Chapter 4

Kartik woke up on his couch, and when he got up everything blackened for a few seconds. He finally figured out what was going on, and his talk with Naira a few hours earlier. Instantly, he felt a pierce in his heart. He knew that he had hurt his Naira.

Kartik got up and saw an envelope that had been slid through the doorstep. He walked himself there and picked it up, finding some kind of a official paper inside. A letter fell out, and he instantly understood the handwriting. It was Naira.

Dear Kartik,
This is your freedom from this marriage. I know that you aren't happy with me, and neither is your family. But what's new in that? Every single lady in the Goenka house has had a problem with me, weather it be your dadi or your mother. I stood dadi's torcher because you were with me at that time. But now, even you don't support me, so what's the point in staying in this relationship? During Bhai & Bhabhis wedding I was the evil person for you, during your brothers death I was the reason, and now i'm the enemy of your mother. Well listen to his loud and clear Kartik: I am a human. I have feelings. No one seems to understand that. You said that you loved me more than anything, but you trusted your family each time. I forgave you every time. But not anymore. Now is the time where I am going to stand up for myself. I will not let anyone get the best of me, not even you. Please don't be mad at me. That's what you always are anyways - blinded by anger. Shubham begged me to not tell about his addiction, and I got that injury by falling off a bridge while waiting for you to come. I'll hope you understand. Two years ago you loved me more than anything. I'll always remember the showers of flower petals, gifts, cuddles, "i love you"s, constant cute fights. Thank you for making me feel like someone could love me more than their own life. I'll miss you so much mendak. If you still love me, and if you miss me find me in your heart and i'll be right there. If you don't find me there, well then think that our love wasn't pure enough. I will pray to God that you will get an amazing life ahead.
"Dil se dil ka ye mel sanam
Jo kal yeh ho jaaye kam
Haalat bigad bhi jaaye agar
Hum dono bichad bhi jaayein agar
Yaadon ke chaand shikare par
Main tumse milne aaunga..

Kuch aur tha main kuch aur hi tha
Tumne hi mujhko nikhara hai
Ab jo bhi mujhme pyara hai
Woh har rang tumhara hai

Jo kal tha, tera saath mile
Haathon se na yeh haath mile
Alvida mujhe tu keh jaaye
Yeh pyaar adhoora reh jaaye

Kuch aadhe adhoore lamhe liye
Dil ka yeh shehar sajaunga.."

Yeh song ko yaad rakh kar tum apne jeevan mai aage badna, my mendak.

-Naira, your sherni.

Kartik dropped the letter and fell onto the floor crying.

"I mistrusted Naira again. She fell off a bridge that day and I stood there cursing her. How did I let my mom slap my wife? Naira was always there for me, she gave me my family back. Yet I just told her to leave. Naira left her fathers home, her everything to start a life with me and what did I do? Break all my promises? What did I do, blame her? She is right. I have no right to be called her husband. No right at all. I don't deserve to live. But I have to. Naira, I will find you I promise, and i'll make everything right. I am so sorry. No one will ever come before you again, if it be Mrs. Goenka or my Dadi."

Authors Notes -

This chapter is just in my POV , i believe that Naira is a strong independent woman. She doesn't need to keep getting hurt by irrelevant people . To be honest, if i was Naira i wouldn't forgive Kartik. Why should i, to be mistrusted again? That's just my POV, yours will probably be different ❤️
