Hello Everyone.
Chapter 37
It might take a day, it might take a year…..
But what’s meant to be yours will always find its way !!
Karthik’s POV.
I sighed and laid back on the couch. One problem hadnât solved but another had come up now. I was going to New York for three weeks. I had to. As much as I dreaded going there, it was my dadâs dream deal. I couldnât leave my dadâs dream. I loved him but I also loved Naira. It seemed really tough to leave her alone after the accident.
As I was thinking about how and when to tell Naira about it, my phones ringtone brought me back to life !!
‘Jaan’ calling.
I had to tell her that I was leaving which was really a difficult task. Really difficult.
âHi listen, I need to talk to you.â I said as soon as I picked up. But I couldnât hear her.All I heard was noises of car honking, people talking.
âNaira, are you there ?!!” I asked.
âKarthik !! Where are you ?!!â She asked and I could sense something was really wrong.
âIâm home. But wait, where are you ?!!” I asked.
âI dont know !! I came here to the… I donât know what place this is but Iâm lost !! I canât find a way back and I donât know what to do !!â She cried.
Shit. . .
I quickly got up and grabbed the car keys.
âNaira,just calm down.okay ?!! Donât worry, Iâm coming !! Just tell me, where are you ?!!” I spoke, as calmly as possible, while wearing my shoes.
âI donât know !!â She yelled.
âOkay, okay. Listen. Just tell me the landmark like a store nearby, or a cafĂ©, a mall or anything you see.â I said, rushing out.
She paused for a moment and I guessed she was looking around.
âYeah, yeah thereâs a park over her. Lakeside park !!â She said.
I let out a sigh of relief, as I realized that it was the same park where Naira and I used to meet before.Where I had taken her before she was supposed to go to london. Itâs sad, that she didnât remember it but all I could see now was her. She was probably freaking out there alone and I had to go and find her.
âOkay, I know that place. Donât worry, okay ?!! Iâll be there in fifteen minutes, maximum. Just stay there and wait for me !!â I said as I drove to the Lakeside park.
It was almost 10:30 pm.I looked at both the sides of road, for Naira.
I parked my car outside the park,which was closed, but Naira was nowhere to be seen.
âI told her to wait here.â I thought.
Just then I heard some noise !!
The sound which seemed like someone was sobbing. I followed it and there I was near a small, dark bench.I could easily see a girl, sitting on the ground, holding her knees to her chest and crying. It wasnât too difficult to guess who it was.
âNaira ?!!â I said slowly. I didn’t want to scare her or startle her !!
She snapped her head up as soon as she heard my voice. Her eyes were red and puffy because of crying. She quickly got up as I opened my arms a little, as if inviting her in. She ran and just held on to me tight.
âIâm sorry.I donât know how I got lost. Itâs just that I came out for a walk and forgot the way back home. I didnât know whom to call.Iâm sorry !!â She cried. She looked really scared.
âHey, itâs okay. It happens. Youâre okay now, Iâm here and youâre safe. Donât worry.Relax.â I said, rubbing her head, trying to calm her down. But she just held on and cried.
I let her do so. Because, sometimes when you cry, you let all your worries and pain and suffering flow away with the tears. You feel lighter. You feel good. Like a huge burden has been taken away from your shoulders. So this is nothing to be embarrassed about this is nothing to feel bad about. This is something to feel proud about â that youâre strong enough to cry your heart out, let the tears carry away your pain, and then move on with life.
Naira had calmed down after a while. She cried, I held her. I didnât say anything. I knew she only wanted to be comforted and I did that.
âIâm sorry. I mustâve freaked you out. Iâm sorry for the trouble.â She said, looking at me.
âI understand and thereâs nothing to be sorry about. You just got lost and asked for help. Thatâs it. Itâs okay.â I said putting an arm around her shoulder and leading her back to the car.
As we stood outside, I opened the door for her. She didnât go in, she stopped and looked at me. For a moment,Just for a moment, I thought my old Naira was back.
âI never thanked you, Karthik. Iâm just so grateful to have you.â She said.
A smile formed on my lips as she continued.
âI say it all the time that itâs hard for me to cope up with this situation, but I never thought how hard it is for you. I mean just knowing the fact that the person you love doesnât remember anything about you. I donât know how you deal with it.” She said. I didnât know what to say to her now.
Naira came a little closer, closing the gap between us. Resting her hand on my cheek she said,
âThose eyes of yours,theyâre so beautiful. But theyâre not happy. That smile of yours,it could light anybodyâs world. But itâs just a show off. A mask that youâre wearing and I donât want that. I may not remember anything about you,about us,but that look in your eyes,its like youâre always searching for those lost memories in my eyes.And when you donât find them,you hide it with a smile saying its okay. Why would you do that ?!!” she asked.
My heart just skipped a beat after hearing those words. She knew me so well !!
âBecause I love you. I always have. I can accept the fact that you donât remember me. But I can never accept the fact that your heart doesnât remember me. I know, it does, because there was a time you loved me. And I believe, there will be a time, when youâll love me again.â I said. I didnât even realize that a tear had slipped down my eye. She smiled and wiped it off with her sleeve.
âI really hope that time comes soon.â She said.
I kissed the top of her head and she hopped inside. So did I, as I drove her back home.
We stood outside her house as suddenly something struck me. The trip !! Dammit. I hadnât yet told her about the trip, and now, after what happened today, I felt even more miserable. More irresponsible and heartless to leave her alone again.
âNaira ?!!” I stopped her midway as she was walking in her house. I guess I knew what was going to happen next.
âI need to tell you something.â I started. She nodded as I took a deep breath. Here I go.
âIâm going to New York for three weeks.â I said hoping she wouldnât hear the last part. But as I saw her face, it was blank.
âWhen ?!!”She asked bluntly.
âTomorrow.â I said trying to make out whatever she was thinking. But it only came harder to me as her expression changed from blank, to sad, to angry. Yeah, she was angry !!
She turned her back without saying anything and started walking back.
âNaira,stop please.Iâm sorry, okay ?!! I shouldâve told you before…”I said but she cut me off.
âDid I say anything ?!!” She asked again in the same blunt tone. But she was clearly not okay.
âNo.” I said.
âNo. I didnât. Because youâve already made your decision.â She said. It had started, She was angry now and I couldnât see anything good ahead of this.
âItâs not like that !! Iâve to go because itâs my job !! Iâve to attend this meeting. I hate to leave you but I canât stay back.” I said.
She sighed.
âFine.You know for those last twenty minutes back in the car, I felt like I was getting hope. I was so sure that you were not leaving me alone,never. But guess what ?!! You just did !!â She said, while I just stood there, trying to explain myself. There was no use anyways, because somewhere she was right.
âJaan, donât say that. I havenât left you. I never will. Iâm just away for a few days.â I said.
âThree weeks is not a few days !! Just go Karthik.I guess I was wrong in trusting you. Just go !!â She said. My heart ached after hearing that. She was pushing me away !!
âI canât leave like this. I need to make sure youâd be okay.” I said.
She laughed lightly, like sarcastically and said,
âYou would be leaving me, and you really want me to be okay ?!! because I wonât be okay !! I just need you, okay ?!! Please, just stay.â She pleaded.
âIâm always there for you.â I said holding her hand. But she pushed me away.
âNo !! Not like this !! I want you here, with me. You promised youâd always be there and now youâre breaking that promise !!â She cried.
And before I could speak, she wiped her tears, brimming from the corner of her eye, and composed herself.
âYou said you love me right ?!! Then youâll have to choose itâs either me or this work.â She said.
Oh God, why ?!! Itâs impossible to chose. What do I say to her ?!! Itâs my dadâs last dream. What do I do to make her realize how much I love her ?!!
I kept quiet, while she just looked away, probably realizing what my silence meant. It meant, Iâm going to fulfil my dadâs last wish, and Iâm not leaving it. But why she couldnât understand that I love her, and I would never even think about leaving her.
âSee ?!! I knew that. So donât worry. Go. But donât you ever dare talk to me again. I thought we had something. I thought maybe we could just work things out but I dont think thatâs gonna happen.â She said.
No way. No. She canât just leave me !! What is wrong with her !! I love her for Godâs sake.She should see that too.
âPlease donât say that.Donât do this to me again. I canât live without you, Naira. I love you.â I said. She gave me a hard and cold look, which hurt me like a thousand knives stabbing my heart.
âItâs over.you ended this before it started. Goodbye Karthik.” She said and turned her back, walking away.
I stood there like a statue, frozen, yet numb and weak. I didnât know what to do, where to go.
I was just lost.
Precap :Miserable and angry Naira. Sad and heartbroken Karthik. Naksh cheering up his best friend. Naira meeting Rithvik. Rithvik messing up Naira’s Mind.
