Yaha waha hai tu by Vrushy

Part 14

Karthik’s POV.
Dammit Keerti.How could she even say such a thing at that time ?!!
No doubt she was drunk. I just felt so pissed off. I mean we were supposed to keep the truth away from Naira for a while. At least the truth that we were getting engaged !!

Naksh was still trying to get her down, while everyone just cheered on. I looked around and saw Naira, tears forming in her eyes. She kept on looking at the floor. I tried to say something, to think of some lie, but then she looked up at me, and again I couldn’t speak. I couldn’t lie to those eyes who were so innocently asking for the truth.

Before I could digest everything, Naira stormed outside. Seriously, what’s happening in my life ?!! I just followed her outside and decided to confront her.

‘Maybe this could change things.’ I thought.

“Naira !! stop !!” I said and she stopped immediately.
Her eyes were full of tears, confusion was written all over her face and I felt really bad for her. I couldn’t imagine myself in her shoes.

“Naira I’m really sorry about what happened in there. Keerti has the habit of talking rubbish at times.” I said laughing dryly so as to make the mood a little lighter.

“Was that true ?!!” She asked, her eyes not leaving mine even for a moment. It was impossible to lie to her, but at the same time, I didn’t want to put any kind of pressure on her.

“Was that true ?!!” She asked again, louder this time and my silence said everything. It was true. It is true.

She looked away. What have I done ?!! I had no clue about what was going to come next. How was she going to react ?!! Will she remember everything ?!!

“I don’t know what’s happening to me. I don’t remember anything !! I don’t know what to do and I feel so helpless !!” She cried. I felt broken. My heart ached at the site of her crying.

“I know. I understand…” I said, but she just cut me off.

“No, you don’t !! Nobody does !! It’s not easy to wake up one day and just forget who you are, your friends, your life, everything !! Everyday, every f**king day since I’ve come home, I’ve tried to remember things. But nothing comes to me. Everything is just blank !! And now bhabi tells me that a guy I hardly know is my fiancé ?!! How do you understand that ?!! Nobody can, because nobody here is in my shoes right now !!” She yelled.

I sighed as she broke down. I so wanted to go and hug her and comfort her and tell her that things are going to be okay. But at that time, staying away seemed like a right choice.

“It’s not your fault,Naira. I know you’re going through a lot and its hard for you to remember things, but I just want you to know that nobody’s going to force you into anything. If my staying away from you, makes you feel better, I’ll do that. I won’t come near you. Take all time you want, but I’ll always be there for you.” I said.

That was the best thing I could say at that time to make her feel better. She nodded a little, and wiped her tears.

“I need to go home,please.” She said.

“I’ll drive you home, alright ?!! Now c’mon !!” I said. She hesitated a bit at first but then started walking.

As I was driving her home she looked outside at the empty streets of Udaipur.

“Can I ask you something ?!!” She asked.

“Anything you want.” I replied with a smile. I felt a little relieved as she was at least on talking terms with me.

“How long,I mean how long we were like…you and me ?!!.” She asked and I understood what she meant. I wasn’t just sure was it the right time to tell her about us.
