Let's talk.
Through hearts♥️
_____________

It's been few days since she is avoiding him. He wanted to give her time. And he did. But now he was losing his patience. He was missing her terribly.

The distance between them was small but she was backing away making it long day by day. And that was bothering him a lot

In college also,she didn't sit with him like she used to. He couldn't help but steal her glances between the lectures and always found her deep in thoughts.

All this was taking a toll on him. Thinking maybe she would not avoid him in cafe but there also she did. She sent Aayna,her co-worker cum friend to always provide him service.

He Looked at her wistfully. Her heart was yearning for the same. For his presence. For his closeness. But some thoughts in her mind were messing everything.

They were near but still far away. He was now also sitting in cafe. Waiting for her. Waiting for her to look up at him. To talk to him. To open her heart out in front of him. He was questioning himself every now and then. Was he demanding a lot?

It was the time for her shift to end. But today Kartik has promised himself that he wouldn't let her go away anymore from him. he would bring her closer to him. Closer than they were earlier. For that he would do anything but he wouldn't let them part.

She steered out of the cafe and went to her apartment. Just when she went inside and was about to close the door. He showed up.

"Kartik!" She frowned.

"Oh! So finally you acknowledged me. I thought you forgot who I am?! Thank you Naira for remembering me." He said sarcastically. He couldn't help but feel hurt on her incessant ignorance towards him.

He understands that she needs time but she was avoiding him like he was a nobody and that hurts. A lot.

Her face adorned with guilty countenance and she asked. "Why are you here?"

"To talk" he replied in matter of fact.

"I don't Want to!"she tried to close the door. But Kartik held his hand in between the door as if challenging her. And she lost. Ofcourse. She can't see him injured. That too because of her.

And he took the opportunity and entered the apartment.

"Let's talk!" He emphasized.

"What's to talk?"she asked clearly showing she didn't want to talk about it.

"There is a lot to talk Naira!" He held her shoulders.

"Don't do this to me Naira. Don't do this to yourself. Pls. Let me know what's going on with you. Why are you so hurt by the words of someone who doesn't matter in our lives."

"Kartik pls go."

"No! Until I get my answers. I won't go."

"Pls go!" She shouted.

"I won't." He too shouted. It was taking a toll on them. His insistence and her denial.

"I promised you Naira! That I won't leave you. And you did too. Did you forget?" He added softly gazing in her eyes cupping her face.

"I didn't. But Kartik. Pls listen to me. And pls go away from me. I will hurt you. She Again repeated.

"You won't Naira!" He shouted now. This was frustrating him. She was repeating that same sentence.

"Tell me..Tell me .. what's happening to you. What's bugging you. We always shared everything. So why not now?!" He pleaded touching his forehead with hers. Pleading her.

She took a shaky breath. "I hurt my parents kartik. They gave me so much. And what did I do? I left them for my career. I am now reconsidering my decision Kartik. I left them for career. Them. Who did so many sacrifices for me. Who gave me their time and love. What did I do? I left them. I am selfish Kartik. I ..left them. I hurt them. " Her tears sliding down her cheeks. Kartik slowly wiped them with his thumb still cupping her face. Letting her to open her heart. In front of him.

And she did. She again opened her heart for him. For him to see her vulnerability. For him to see her that she is now also a child who needs assurance. Who needs her parents' support.

"I hurt everyone Kartik. The person who hurts her parents can hurt anybody. I don't.. I just don't want you to get hurt by me. I am a selfish person. It's.. it's better to stay away from me." She explained him. Averting her gaze away from him. She just couldn't see him in eye. Because his eyes were opposing everything she was saying. But she knew that she is right. He is just saying that to make her feel good. Right?

He made her look in his eyes.
"I disagree. Because the person you talked about and the person I can see. Are different. Very different. You didn't leave them just for your career. You left them to make a way for your siblings. For all the girls out there who weave dreams. Who want to fly. Who want to measure the sky with their wings. Who want to make all proud. You did for all of them. And selfish? " He scoffed.

"Seriously Naira. Selfish and you. The person who always cares about others.. how can she be selfish? Who always gives Varun different different ideas to make Ayesha happy. Who always takes care of Ayesha's small small wishes. Who never refuses to take more shifts of Aayna even if she has a lot in her plate to do. And how can that person be called selfish who did her best to,Who even faced my wrath to bridge the gap between my father and me. Selfish and you can't be used in one line Naira!" Tell me Naira..how can you say that my Naira is selfish?" He asked bumping his nose with her. She closed her eyes. Her tears rolling down her cheeks. Happy tears. To get a person who can make her feel better just by his presence,his words and his gestures are cherry on the top.

There they were. Standing there with each other in arms. Their eyes closed, foreheads touched and breaths mingling. Enjoying the warmth after so long.

They didn't know how but they became a need for each other. Without one,other can't function and when they are together. They can do anything and Everything!
