The Time Of Our Lives - Karman

Chapter 28

Aman's POV

I was woken up by banging on my door. Someone was yelling at me to wake up, I couldn't make out who it was. 

"Han main uth gaya hu! Jao ab!" I yelled to get that person to shut up. (Yes. I am up. Go now!) 

I groan. Another day without Kartik and I am totally looking forward to it! I rolled my eyes at that thought. 

It was just 8 am! Why are they torturing me like this? Obviously today was my last day with them, they would want to spend time with me. But what about my beauty sleep? Oh God! I am turning more like Kartik day by day. His dramatic thoughts are coming into me. 

I checked my phone, noticing Kartik has messaged. 

Baby❤️: Good morning, love. I know you would sleeping that's why I didn't call you. I know you had a tiring day yesterday. I have work so we can talk during lunch break later. If you are free obviously. I miss you loads. I love you, my monkey. Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow morning.🙈

P. S. - Text me the arrival time of your train, I will come to pick you up.😘

I smiled, reading the text 3 times, each time my heart exploring with love. I texted him back instantly. 

Me: Morning, baby. Yes, I was exhausted yesterday. I will try to call you. I miss you too! So fucking much! I love you, my baby. Can't wait to see your beautiful face. 😚

P. S. - My train's arrival time is 10 am. 😘

Tomorrow I would finally get to see my Kartik. I will kiss him so hard when we reach home. Then I will drag him to our room, rip his clothes off and lick those sexy abs of his and then I will slip my hand in his briefs and grab his pretty.... No! Bad Aman. I can't have thoughts like these right now. I don't want to have a boner. 

Finally, I got up from the bed, brushed my teeth and walked down to have breakfast. Everyone was already in their seats, waiting for me. 

When everyone was served and started to eat, papa said something which made me roll my eyes, "Beta, humne kl jis bare mai baat ki thi tu uske bare mai sochna." (Son, the thing we talked about yesterday, did you think about it?) 

"Papa, isme sochna kya hai. Mene keh diya na abhi mujhe shaadi nhi karni hai." (Papa, there nothing to think. I don't want to get married right now.) 

"Tumhe Kusum kesi lagi, beta?" Papa changed the topic. (Did you like Kusum, son?) 

"Thik thi. Kyu?" I asked, narrowing my eyebrows. (She was fine. Why?) 

"Teri aur uski jodi bahot acchi lagegi." papa said, making me choke on the food I was eating this time. (You both we make a great couple.) 

"Isliye apne mujhe uske sath akela chhod diya tha. Papa, mujhe nhi karni hai shaadi." I said, after drinking some water to reduse my coughing. (That's why you left me alone with her. Papa, I don't want to get married.) 

"Thik hai. Abhi mat kar par thode saalo mai karni padegi tujhe." (Okay. Don't get married but you will have to in a few years.) 

I didn't say anything then. I was frustrated. Why are they pressurizing me to get married? If I am going to get married, then I will only marry Kartik. But what if they never accept me and him? What if they hurt my Kartik when they find out? What if they tear us apart? 

The thought of living a life without Kartik brought tears to my eyes. Suddenly, an uneasy feeling appeared in the pit of my stomach. I wasn't hungry anymore.

"Mera khana ho gaya. Upar jake nahake aata hu." I said softly, standing up and walking to my room. (I am done. I am going up to bathe.) 

I locked the door and a few tears slipped from my eyes, thinking all the bad things that can happen. Thinking if Kartik and me actually had a future or not because I can't live without him and people around won't let me live with him. I love Kartik. But I love my family too. 

My head was pounding thinking all this. So I thought hot shower would help to release the stress. 

As soon as the hot water touched my skin, I could feel my mind and muscles relaxing. I stood under the shower for about 10 minutes before scrubbing myself with soap and then rinsing. 

I spent time with my family then. Nobody said anything about marriage again, which I really appreciated. 

When I saw that Kartik's lunch break was about to start in a few minutes, I rushed to my room telling them I have to make an important call. 

I called him. I wish I could video call him so I could see his face but I knew he was at work. He picked up on the third ring. I squeaked, "Hi, baby!" 

"Hey, love." his voice sounded tired. I instantly felt guilty for ruining his sleep yesterday. 

"How are you? Are you okay? You sound tired." 

"Yeah. I am fine. Just a bit sleepy. And our boss is being an ass." I could feel him rolling his eyes. 

"Aww. My poor baby." I cooed. 

"Shut up," he giggled. "I will finally get to see you tomorrow. And when I see you be ready for hardcore make out session." 

Bad thoughts again filled my head at that statement. I pushed them away and managed to say, "Y-Yeah, s-sure." 

He immediately noticed my stutter, knowing something was wrong, "Are you okay?" 

"Yeah, I-I am fine." 

He didn't push the topic any further. We talked about how much we missed each other. But still I felt a little different, unable to completely focus on Kartik. I love him loads but this marriage talk had messed my mind up. 

We talked for 20 minutes then he hang up to work. I missed him. I missed his touch. I missed his big brown eyes. I missed his cuddly self. I missed his sassy comebacks. I hope when I finally see him all these thoughts would go away. 

_____________________________________

I was hugging everybody goodbye. It was time for me to go. Back to my Kartik. 

"Baat karte rehna, bhul mat jana hume." Goggle said as he hugged me tightly. (Keep in touch. Don't forget us.) 

Papa insisted on coming to the station to drop me to which I didn't argue much. 

"Beta apna dyhan rakhna. Kisi bhi chize ki zaruzat ho toh bol dena." papa said as my train arrived. (Son, tack care of yourself. If you need anything then don't hesitate to ask us.) 

I hugged papa tightly telling him that I would miss him. 

I entered the train and settled down on my seat. 

After two hours in the journey, Kartik called me, instantly putting a smile on my face. We just talked for a bit because in trains there is always network problem. 

I instantly fell asleep as I had a tiring day filled with horrible thoughts. The last thought that lingered on my mind was that I will see my Kartik tomorrow.
