Koi Laut ke Aaya hai [Completed]

6. A guide to not giving up

Inaayat's POV

"What was that... "

"Karan is just my childhood friend, He's more like a brother" I said in a matter of fact tone

"I mean with the Shehzade! " He said as I smiled awkwardly

"Everyone thinks you're the prince of my dreams" I said

"Maybe I am.. You never know" He said as I stood there awkwardly

"So Islamabad it is? " I ask him

"Yeah" He said a bit worried

"But why Islamabad I mean.. "

"Nothing big, Also it's not for business" He said "One of my Uncles isn't well so... "

I nodded

"I don't know if you will Inaayat But I will really miss you" He said handing me over a bouquet of red roses.

Once upon a time, My favorite But now they mean nothing to me

"Thank you Kabir, Take care of yourself" I said as he held my hand and pulled me close to him.

He took my hand and gave it a soft peck.

"I love you Inaayat" He said as I smiled at him.

I can't say that Kabir, I'm afraid I don't feel the same, This marriage is nothing but a business deal for me, I can never love anyone the way I loved Nivaan. I've lost the capacity to feel things anymore or even express them

"Bye Inaayat" He said getting into his car and soon he left

I stood looking at the roses.

"Innu... " I heard a Chirpish voice

"Amy? " I said surprised.

"I'm so so so happy and I have two news to give you" She said her tone indicating she was so happy that she could go on a shopping spree and spend all the money she has

"Number one - I've been selected by RAW" She said as I looked at her in shock.

"Yeah I didn't know until Rishab called me to his office and told me that I'll be going with the three of you to Istanbul for my first mission ever" She said squealing

"But why didn't you tell me before? " She asked

"Because that's the rules right? " I asked

She face palmed

"Right. And number two Karan asked me out " She said

"And what are you going to say? " I asked

"Of course a yes, I've been waiting since 4 years for this" She said "But before that let me do some drama, Don't come in for 5 minutes please" She said

I nodded.

She walked in while I looked at the roses

There was a note hidden between the roses so well that it wasn't even seen until you observed closely

I put the roses on the wall nearby

I opened it and it had a faint scent of Just Different perfume

Dil Ke Baat Har Kisse Ko Bataya Na Kijye;

Mutthi Mein Namak Lekar Gumte Hai Log;
