24 parts Ongoing MatureAs I took a seat beside her, I realised that she was awfully quiet.
"Is everything fine", I asked her.
Naina licked her lips and looked at me. For a few seconds none of us said anything and then finally she said-
"Aakash, my family has a second-hand car. I have been earning for quite sometime now but my savings aren't enough for even a bike. We live in a small apartment, which you have seen already, throughout my life I have shared everything...my books, clothes, shoes, cosmetics, even my laptop with my elder sister."
I did not understand why Naina was saying all this with a sad expression. To me, everything that concerns her always feels happy and worth being proud of. She continued-
"What I am saying Aakash, is that I am nowhere worthy, capable, or even habituated of a life where my husband owns a house with an elevator or where he wishes to buy me a helicopter. We are so different, Aakash. This scares me a lot".
Not even for a moment have I ever felt that Naina would be insecure of my living standards. But, I understood where she was coming from.
"Naina", I replied, "All this extravagant decorations, this lavish home, my expensive lifestyle,none of this means anything to me. It is a facade I have to maintain for the world. YOU ARE MY HOME".
