Kaira - Two Years Later

Chapter 8

Naira soon came out of the washroom, and asked Kartik where they were going first. He told her that they were going to the Ganga Mandir nearby.

When they got there, someone hugged Naira from behind.

N - Kiran!

K - Hi Naira! 3 Saal ho gaye.. message bhi nahi karti ho.

N - Sorry.. Mujhe laga k tum gussa ho abhi..

K - I was upset for a few days.. but then i was completely fine. Who stays upset for years when it wasn't even your fault.

N - (louder) you don't know kiran, some people do.

K - Well that sucks for them. Who could be upset enough to lose friendship with a girl like you? You're perfect.

N - Haha, thanks Kiran. Waise, looking good, muscles and all.

K - Yeah, i've been working out. Well Naira and Kartik, ill catch up later. My masi is waiting. I saw you so i just wanted to say hi. Naira, i'll call you in a few days.

N - Cool Kiran. Maybe we could catch up some day.

K - Definitely. Bye!

Kartik was looking at Naira with anger, jealousy, guilt, and love. He knew Kiran's words were right, and that he made a big mistake by letting her go.

N - Kya hua?

K- That Kiran! How was he hugging you like that. God knows what he was saying.

N - So?

K - So matlab kya? You're my wife, only I can hug you.

N - Im so glad that you considered me your wife. When it comes to jealousy, I only belong to you. But when your mother is slapping me and kicking me out of your house, i am suddenly a stranger? Kya pati dharam nibhaya hai tune Kartik.

Realizes her surroundings and her promise that they'd live like the old Kartik and Naira, she calmed down and continued walking. Kartik had tears in his eyes.

K - Jo Naira hamesha apni feelings chupati hai family ke woh aaj mujhko apni dil ki baat batadi?I cant even imagine how terrible you must be feeling Naira. The kartik that always dreamed about your love, the Kartik who'd kill anyone that brought tears to your eyes, today he is the reason behind those tears. I'm sorry Naira, i'm really sorry.

The rest of the day Kartik and Naira passed by happily. They both acted like the old Kartik and Naira, but their minds couldn't help but go back to the dark past two years. After exploring Rishikesh and reliving their old memories, Kartik took Naira to the hotel.

K - Naira woh...

N - Kya Kartik?

K - Goenkas and Singhanias are coming to talk about my remarriage in a few minutes.

N - Re-Marriage?

K - Yes Naira. Now we will be divorced after i sign the papers. Please stay and meet your family.

N - Oh..okay Kartik. I'll be right back, i'm going to the washroom.

Naira went in the washroom and started crying.

N - Bhagwan, why always me? I have to see my Kartik re marry in front of my eyes? How? And Kartik wants to get remarried? Well, why wouldn't he? I gave him a divorce. How will I live? After today, i'm more in love with Kartik. He became the old Kartik and showed me so much love & care. Now I have to see him give this love to someone else?

Outside the bathroom, Kartik could hear Naira's sniffles. His heart broke again seeing her cry.

K - I'm sorry Naira, but this was needed.
