Love Therapy [COMPLETED]

Chapter 6

A/N : Long chapter warning ahead!!! I had about three chapters planned out before I decided to combine all the important scenes into one long chapter... It seemed better because it will move the story along rather than having fillers. I also wanted to write an ENTIRE session out since the last one ended on an awkward note (all thanks to Kabir)... This chapter is written with the help of whatever knowledge of Psychology 101 I took in my first semester of college and self motivation books. Thus, it might not look or sound right so, apologies in advance XD

In a blink of an eye, it has been a week since the first therapy sessions. Honestly, after the last session with Kabir, Raina was uncertain if she would have any more interactions with him. However, the daily updates came in and Raina was glad to hear from Ayesha that despite being a bit grumpy at times, Kabir was doing better than last week and has not touched a single drop of alcohol. As she approached Kabir's mansion, she noticed someone was waiting outside the door for her. She smiled, it was Sunny.

"Good afternoon, Doctor Raina," he greeted.

"Good afternoon," she responded. "How are you?"

"Fantastic," he replied. "Thanks to you."

Raina gave him a confused look. "Me?" Raina asked. "Why?"

"Because you make Kabir happy," he answered. "And when the King is happy, there is peace in the kingdom."

Raina couldn't help but laugh at that. Where does he come out with such lines?

"Ayesha and I really appreciate what you do for Kabir," he continued. "Even Kabir does, but he doesn't realize it yet."

"That's very kind," she replied. "But I'm just doing my job though."

"I know," Sunny told her. "We, meaning Ayesha and I, just wanted you to know. And we want to apologize again for last week. His ex was a sensitive story, we should have warned you in advance."

"You don't have to apologize," Raina replied. "It's somewhat part of my job description to make him uncomfortable with himself to helps him to get better. If we can't find the root of the problems, how can we solve it?"

"That's very true," he replied. "Toh chaliye? (So shall we go?) Time for some Dr. Raina jaadoo (magic)."

Raina lets out another laugh as he leads her in. Talking to Sunny was like talking to an old friend, Ayesha was lucky to have him.

"Kabir is waiting at the living room," Sunny informed her. "And as usual, Ayesha and I will be minding our own business. Have fun."

Raina thanked him and headed to the living room. She saw Kabir on the armchair, watching his old music videos. Raina stood at a distance and watched.

Raina couldn't help but wonder who is the real Kabir Varma. The person on the screen or the one sitting in front of her, in flesh.

"It's impolite to stare," he said suddenly, jerking Raina out of her thoughts.
