Arranged By Fate

(27)

Kabir......

After spending more than 2 hours with the service men finally we got a broken wire , AC started working efficiently and thus I came back once they left .

While I was descending stairs I saw Rashi and Navneet inside pooja room

And the worst part was Navneet was holding Rashi by her wrist .

Unknowingly I had started taken long breaths , jaw was clenched , palm in a fist I couldn't look at it more so went to my room furiously .

'Why are you fooling yourself Kabir , Rashi likes him '
My brain spoke .

' But she is YOUR wife now , she is married to YOU , she should move on with you '
My heart shouted .

' She doesn't even like you , how will she ever fall in love with you and if she doesn't love you , then what's the point in keeping her tagged along with you '
My brain asked .

' But you are not a bad guy or something , YOU are suitable for her not him '
'Moreover HE was the one who ran away , that too for some other girl '
My heart reasoned .

My head started aching , I laid on bed , closing my eyes with the fight between heart and brain .

Rashi......

While I was moving out of Pooja room (mandir) , Navneet held me by my wrist , I lost all my confidence and my nervous side came over me .

'How the hell can he do that '?
' I'm a married woman now '
' What if Kabir sees this '?

I gulped and again anger rose my body ,
" leave my hand , NOW "
I said greeting my teeth , looking directly in his eyes .

For the first time I saw some fear on his face and he left my hand immediately .

" And don't you EVER ,
try to come across my path "
I shouted at him in a low voice , as I don't want Kabir to listen this & went to my room .

I switched on the lights & found Kabir , laying with closed eyes .
'He never sleep at this time of hour '
'  He is a workoholic '
' Is he okay ' ?

I went near him , placed my palm on his forehead to check his temperature , he opened his eyes sensing my touch .

" Are you okay "?
I asked .

" Hmm"
He hummed sitting along .

" What happened "?
I asked worryingly seeing his tensed face .

"Nothing "
Said he lowly .

" Please tell me Kabir "

" I said it's nothing Rashi "

" I can see you are tensed Kabir "

"Rashi Rashi....Kabir....."
"Rashi's Father , he ...."
