***Abhimanyu's P. O. V***
I watched as Naina snored softly on the lounger, making me chuckle. She looked so cute and adorable - I could look at her all day long!
Putting my phone aside, I turned to look at her as she turned on her spot but continued to snore softly, deep in sleep.
She looked so calm and relaxed, I couldn't help but smile!
After we'd talked about her not wanting to become a mother last week, we'd gone out for dinner, though she'd gone back to her old quiet and somber self.
Though she hadn't been avoiding me or anything in this last week, she'd seemed tensed. I've asked her a lot if there's something wrong, and what's bothering her, but she just put it off saying that old wounds had been scourged which is just making her sad but she'd get over it soon too.
She had been spending a lot of time at her office, leaving early in the morning and coming back late at night. We'd had 2 more dates in the past 1 week, but again, Naina had seemed very put-off.
And right now as I looked at her sleeping peacefully, I couldn't help notice the shadows under her eyes and the crease on her forehead like as though her dream was rather disturbing.
Everyday of this past week, as Naina and I had cuddled to sleep, I always would fall asleep much more before her - did the pregnancy talk bother her so much and reopen closed wounds of her breakup?!
But today I'd insisted that she sleep on my lap, so that I could massage her hair and help her relax. Though she'd not agreed at first, but she'd given into my insistence, and had fallen asleep within minutes!
I couldn't help but moan at the sweet fragrance of her hair, of how her smooth hair slipped through my fingers, and how angelic she looked as she slept on my lap.
Looking at her sleeping form, I looked back at the past week - it had been exhausting for both of us with our busy professional lives, with Naina having to deal with the memories of her breakup in addition to everything else.
She even seemed lost and dazed, the blank expression on her face whenever I asked her if everything was okay. I knew it was stupid of me to bring the topic of pregnancy - I just hope she is able to forget it all soon and go back to the way she was before!! The closed book that she is, Naina doesn't even share her woes or her thoughts!!
Just then, my phone pinged - it was a message from Nikhil.
Trying not to wake Naina up, I picked up my phone from the night-stand beside me to read the message.
'Meet me at Broadway in half an hour' was all that the message read.
I stared at the message, and then at the time - it was around midnight. Why had Nikhil called me to meet him at such a late hour?!
I looked down at Naina who was fast asleep, and made my decision in an instant. As quietly as possible and without waking her up, I slowly removed her head off my lap before placing a pillow underneath her head. Though she moved a little, but she drifted off to the deep-sleep state quickly and continued snoring softly. I couldn't help myself from bending down and kissing her forehead before I got dressed.
Leaving a note on the bedside table for Naina, I left, to meet Nikhil.
Half an hour later, I was entering the pub where Nikhil had asked me to meet up, and looked around. Though it was well over midnight, the pub was full of people - drinking, eating and dancing!
Why did Nikhil want to meet up here out of all the places?
I dialed his number, to ask him where he was, but even before the call had connected, I found him sitting at a corner - alone.
"Sup??" I sat next to him, looking around - why was he here?!
"Wanna drink?" Nikhil offered a glass of wine as he poured one for himself.
"Um why are we here? Why did you call me here at this hour? If I'm here to be your wingman I swear Nick I'm gonna kick your.." I trailed off angrily, but stopped as I watched the gloomy expression on his face.
"Have a drink" He insisted, placing the glass of wine in front of me.
Hesitantly I took it, taking a sip from it and watching Nikhil, waiting for him to break the silence.
"I had come here to meet Kunal... " he trailed off, taking a sip from his glass.
"AND?!" I urged, wondering what bad news awaited in store for me.
"RGI is in a tight spot... they have to sell part of their shares if they want to float... even with that, he's not sure how long they can stay up... the market is also not in a good place... " he sighed, looking very grim.
"What?! When did this happen? I had spoken to Kunal just yesterday and he never said anything?" I asked, trying to think back if Naina had said anything to me regarding all this.
"Yeah the situation apparently got worse today... I was even talking to RGI's financial adviser a couple of days ago and he hadn't mentioned anything of the sort... Kunal seems very shocked.... dada ji has apparently locked himself in his study!! I suggested Kunal to talk to you for financial aid but he flatly rejected!!" Nikhil sighed.
"Rejected?" I blinked.
"Hmm.. I am actually wondering how they reached this state!! I asked Kunal's financial adviser Mr. Singh for their financial records... but Kunal said he doesn't need my help either!" Nikhil pursed his lips.
Having done his Master's in finance and having trained under one of the finest financial adviser of our times, Nikhil was one of the top in his field - that's precisely why he is the financial adviser to my company as well!! And seeing how he's Kunal's cousin, Kunal shouldn't really have a problem with Nikhil helping him out!!
"It seems so.... sudden... I wanna say it's all too fishy actually!! And the way Kunal was talking.. you should have heard him Abhi!! It felt like he was blaming dada ji for all this!! Dada ji is a very ambitious man... he built the company from almost scratch.... around twenty years ago they had suffered a lot of losses.... kissi andar wale ka kaam tha... jisne bohot badaa gapla kiya tha... they had to move the office into a garage! And then dada ji worked hard and he bought back everything, built RGI to what it is today.... Of course, over the years Gayathri and Dharam did their part too... they also helped a lot... but dadaji is a very self-dependent man... he isn't someone to ask for help... at least if I could have a look at their records... Kunal had told me that Mr. Singh is much better and efficient than their previous consultant, but still... having another opinion won't hurt, would it?" Nikhil sighed.
We both sat in silence for a while as we both got lost in our thoughts - why didn't Kunal tell me anything? And how come even Naina didn't tell me anything?!
"Even Naina didn't tell me anything..." I pursed my lips.
"I don't think she knows... and... um... there's one more thing... about her..." Nikhil sighed heavily.
"What?" there wasn't anything he could say that could make me feel worse!
"Naina's firm too is in a tight spot it seems.... Kunal had just let it slip out by mistake and tried to cover it up hastily.... but Mr. Singh is also the financial consultant for Naina's firm... maybe it was too much work for him... to handle both RGI and Naina's firm..." Nikhil sighed, shaking his head.
"What?! Naina's firm?" I blinked - Naina hasn't told me anything!!
"Hmm yes... I will anyway meet up with Mr. Singh once... his office is near my office I'll just drop in on him tomorrow in any case... I had to meet up with him regarding Mr. Kapoor's financial records.... I'll take a look into Naina's firm's records too... " Nikhil raised his eyebrow, to which I nodded, smiling gratefully for his help.
"I still find it difficult to believe this thing about RGI... I agree that these are slightly troubled times... but raato rat itna ghaata ho sakta hai kya?! Unless their financial record keeping hasn't been proper from the beginning, this shouldn't happen, should it?!" I asked Nikhil after another long silence.
"That's exactly what I was thinking about... Problem is, I know dada ji and Kunal want all this to be hushed up - about their financial crisis... so I can't ask outside opinion also.... this is all fucked up Abhi!!" Nikhil shook his head.
"I'll try worming it out of Naina?" I asked Nikhil.
"Hmm.. but try being subtle... Kunal told me to keep it all a secret... he was forbidden by dada ji to tell anyone I think... but then he'd already told me about it so he just made me swear confidence..." Nikhil trailed off.
"Okay... but what are the chances that Naina will accept my help even if her firm is in a huge financial crisis?" I asked Nikhil, smiling wryly.
"Less than zero... she apparently didn't let her family also support her!! She had put up an advertisement online for financial support for her company before starting off, and most of her investment was from common people... people bought shares for 10 Rupees... but then a couple of years ago, as her firm gained reputation and grew, she got other support... as far as I know, she owns 45% shares to her firm, and Shruthi owns around 10%... the remaining 45% shares is owned by some small investors.." Nikhil sighed.
"You might know this about Naina but she's as independent and self sufficient as her grandfather... she won't accept your help... but that doesn't mean you shouldn't offer help... but don't force her also.. be tactical.." Nikhil added thoughtfully.
I nodded, finally finishing my glass of wine - maybe this financial crisis was the reason why she seemed to be so much under stress and looked so worried??
Poor girl... I cringed as I realized that the wounds of her past too had been scratched open - with the pregnancy issue and everything - and now to deal with the issue in her firm... I need to talk to her.
********
Humming to myself, I sauted the onions and peanuts, keeping one eye on the pot of boiling tea - I was preparing Naina's breakfast - a good breakfast date to set the mood.
After the discussion last night with Nikhil, I'd come home to find Naina still deep in sleep. And today morning I'd woken up before her so that I could prepare her breakfast. I had to talk to her today. Nikhil would talk to Mr. Singh today and hopefully by the end of the day we should be able to come up with some solution!
"Good morning" Naina's voice made me jump.
I turned around to find her looking at me in surprise before she walked over to wrap her arms around me and rest her head on my chest.
"You okay?" I kissed the top of her head, wrapping one arm around her waist, the other sauteing the onions on the stove.
"Hmm.." she trailed off, nuzzling into my chest. My heart fluttered and I couldn't help bending down to place my lips on her's for a tender kiss.
"Kis khushi mein breakfast bana rahe ho? What's the secret to Mr. Singhana's happiness this morning?!" she peered around me interestedly, smacking her lips as she took a waft of the boiling tea.
"Bas aise hi..." I shrugged, adding the other boiled vegetables to the onions.
"Need some help?" she asked, taking the tea off the stove and straining it into two cups.
"Nah.." I shrugged, now adding the oats to the sauted vegetables and simmering the stove.
As we both sipped on the tea and Naina sighed, I looked into her face - she seemed to try to act natural, though her eyes didn't reflect the smile on her lips. Her smile too felt rather forced.
"All okay? You look stressed" I said after a moment of silence, trying to act as natural as possible.
"Hmm.." she shrugged, looking at the cup of tea in her hand.
"You can tell me if there's anything... I can help with.." I shrugged, turning my attention to the pan on the stove.
"Yeah.." I heard her trail off.
I cleared my throat, wondering how best to probe further into the topic, but Naina broke the silence.
"You'd gone to meet Nikhil last night?" she asked, making me turn to gaze at her in shock.
"How.." I trailed off, beads of sweat instantly condensing on my forehead.
"You'd left a note beside the bed..." she trailed off, looking suspicious.
"Oh han... I.. .um yes.." I trailed off, switching off the stove.
"What happened? All okay?" she asked.
"Yeah... he just wanted to have a drink" I shrugged.
"Um... did you know that RGI has had some financial trouble?!" I asked finally.
"Really? I didn't know..." she trailed off, moving aside to wash her now empty tea cup.
"Hmm yes... something happened all of a sudden.... I'll talk to Kunal and ask if he wants some help... " I trailed off, trying to gauge Naina's expression.
"I don't think bhai or dada ji would accept your help" she smiled a dry smile.
"I care about you... I care about your family.. so what's wrong if I offer some help?" I asked.
"If they need your help I'm sure they'll ask... and the situation won't be so bad I think.." she trailed off, pursing her lips.
"Isn't it better if I helped them out instead of some unknown person buying shares to their company?! Instead of asking strangers for help on the internet, isn't it better if you ask your family to help?! Isn't this what family is all about?!" I asked hotly.
"You know about my firm" Naina said after a short pause, her face going blank.
I deliberated on my answer for a second before sighing and nodding in a yes.
"Look Naina I am not interfering and neither am I gonna become superior to you if you take my help... I'm your husband for God's sake!! Let me help you out!! I heard that you might even have to lay people off or even close your firm completely if things get out of hand!?" I said desperately.
"Look Abhi if I wanted your help I'd have asked you for it!! The situation is fine now... nothing I haven't seen or I can't handle!! You do know how it is in business right?! There are tough times but we all get through it eventually... I am going to talk to Mr. Singh again today.. and my investors aren't worried so please Abhi understand.." she said heatedly.
"Investors?! Naina I'm your husband!! Whatever is mine belongs to you as well!! Instead of having these outsiders as investors, isn't it better to let me help you out?! I can buy the remaining 45 % of the shares and invest in your firm!! It'll be good for.." I trailed off as she put her hand up indicating that I'd to stop.
"I didn't accept my own family's help when I began Abhi... It was Shruthi's idea initially that I start my own firm... and that's the only reason why she owns a percentage of the company shares.. because she was my first adviser, my confidant, and my help!! She was there to guide me, to help me out!! I didn't even let bhai invest in my firm because I wanted to be independent Abhi!! If I didn't let my own family invest, why would I let you?" she hissed, glaring at me.
Her words struck straight at my heart.
"Your own family... what am I Naina?" I managed to ask.
"Look Abhi please let's just not get into all this!! As you know by now, I am under a bit of stress so please let's just not discuss any more!" she sighed, clutching at her head.
"I just want to help Naina why don't you understand?" I asked, looking at her.
"For fucks' sake Abhi!! If I want help, I'll ask!! If I wanted to talk to you about my firm, I'd have asked, why don't you understand?!" she yelled, glaring at me.
"And why don't you understand that just because I want to help doesn't mean I think any less of you!? Accepting my help won't make you a smaller person or anything!! I'm your husband for God's sake Naina!! Nobody is gonna think any the lesser of you if you'd accept my help!!" I yelled, blood pulsing through my veins in anger.
"You're not my husband Abhi!! You're just some guy I was forced to marry!! Stop interfering in my life!!" she yelled, before storming off.
I just stood there, blinking, trying to calm my racing heart and my ragged breath - what did she just say?!
*********
"Don't let in any calls and don't disturb me until I call you!" I hissed at Riya as I walked into my office and slammed the door shut behind me.
My head was throbbing and I still felt angry - very angry. But my aching heart felt heavier than anything as I finally sat down at my desk, clutching at my head.
After yelling at me, Naina had changed and stormed out of the house with her office bag. She'd neither answered my calls, nor replied to messages.
And even though I knew I shouldn't, I went up to her office to talk to her - her secretary had told me that she hadn't turned up to office at all!! I called Naina to at least know where she was, but yet again, she didn't pick up my calls! So with a soaring temper and my heart aching, I'd turned to my office, to snap at Riya.
Nikhil had texted me a couple of hours ago saying he was on his way to meet Mr. Singh - well it didn't matter any more, did it? I was a nobody to Naina apparently!
I rubbed my forehead, fighting tears. How could she say all that to me? Till few days ago she'd even admitted that she was falling for me, and now I am the guy whom she married because she had no choice?
Arg!!!
Feeling more irritable than ever, I turned to my laptop, but even work couldn't distract me!!
"Hey bud... You busy?" Nikhil's voice made me snap my gaze towards the door.
Though dressed in an olive green suit and white shirt, Nikhil didn't wear his usual smirk or smile as he looked seriously at me.
I shook my head, indicating him to enter. With a grim expression on his face, Nikhil walked in, clutching his laptop in one hand.
"Early today morning RGI had sold off 45% of their shares" Nikhil sighed, sitting in front of my desk and propping his laptop open.
"What the fuck?" I looked at him in disbelief.
"Mr. Singh was not available when I had gone to his office... I'd had to flirt with his secretary to get this information... " He trailed off grimly.
"Did Kunal tell you anything??" I asked.
"Nope... This isn't the worst news... Now with 45% of their shares being some strangers, this leaves dadaji with 15% shares, Kunal with 10% shares, and Gayathri and Dharam each with 10% shares. Kunal's dad also has 10% shares...." Nikhil sighed.
"What the fuck is wrong with them?? They're okay with Gayathri's husband Dharam helping them out... They're okay with some strangers holding 45% shares to their company but they can't even tell me what's going on?" I hissed.
"The worst part is that Naina had to sign off all her shares... She had around 10% I think but she had to sell them off!" Nikhil shook his head in disbelief.
"And what's up with her firm?" I asked nervously.
"Not too sure... Mr. Singh might know.. his assistant didn't know much... But she said that it's just at a critical point, nothing too serious... Maybe if a strong hold investor invested in her firm it'd help..." Nikhil trailed off, shooting a knowing look at me.
"She rejected my help... We fought..." I trailed off not going into the details of how Naina had said that I was a nobody!
"You should talk to Kunal" Nikhil said abruptly.
"And tell him what?" I asked.
"Ask him what happened.... Look Abhi.. you're at a very steady place right now... RGI has 45% of it's stakeholders as some XYZ people... If those people too back off, it's gonna hit RGI very badly... They might end up on the streets!! RGI was at the top once upon a time but now with your company here... They won't be able to recover Abhi... Try to persuade Kunal" Nikhil sighed.
"I'll talk to him and dada ji later... If not a lot maybe I could help them out a little... I heard that they have to shut down their fabrication unit because they went out of business over night!!" Nikhil sighed heavily.
"What the fuck? How does it happen over night Nikhil?" I asked in shock.
"Not sure... Might be some competitors who are doing some inside trading of sorts... I don't know Abhi I'm very shaken... You first talk to the Raichands... And even Naina... " He trailed off.
I pursed my lips, chancing a glance towards my phone - no calls, no messages.
Was I really just a nobody to Naina?!
"All okay between you two?" Nikhil asked abruptly, as though sensing my turmoil.
In a desperate need to lighten my heart, I narrated the whole incident to Nikhil.
"She likes you Abhi.. whatever she had said... I am sure she just said it in the spur of the moment...she has had a lot to deal with right?!" Nikhil said supportively.
"But still... aisa kaun bolta hai bhai?!" I sighed.
"Look Abhi... she had said she wouldn't ever fall for you, but hadn't she herself even confessed that she had started falling for you?? She's just under pressure mate that's all" Nikhil said bracingly.
I nodded, not knowing what to do.
"Call her... talk to her" he said, as though sensing my dilemma.
And I did just that - but yet again, neither did Naina answer my call, nor did she call back, nor did she reply to my texts.
********
It was half past 1 in the afternoon, and still there was no news from Naina. I'd called her another 20 times till now, shouted at Riya a little more, shouted at a few more of my employees a little more, and still the tension within me hadn't cooled down.
Shruthi had been at the doctor's when I'd called her, and she hadn't called me back. Though I'd called Naina's dada ji and Kunal too, but neither of them called back - I hadn't expected anything else from them, seeing how they had their own ordeal to deal with!!
Unable to take it anymore, I left office, deciding to go and check at the Raichand mansion.
The drive to the mansion felt like an exceptionally long one, thought it was only 10kms from my office, and there was hardly any traffic!
My insides were squirming in anticipation and nerves - I so hope Naina is there at the Raichand mansion!! I couldn't even begin to think what to do or what I would be able to do if Naina wasn't there at the mansion!!
My heart started drumming in my ears and my breathing turned shallow as I turned the car towards the drive-way to the mansion - any moment now, Naina is either there... or she's not.
I started feeling numb and my heart started drumming much more louder than ever as I finally stopped the car and looked towards the entrance to the mansion.
A sense of foreboding filled me and my breathing quickened. I stopped to take quick short bursts of air before getting out of the car and rushing into the mansion.
There were a few people sitting in the living area, all talking in hushed tones, yet their voices echoing in the large living area. But nothing fell to my ears which was filled only with the sound of my loudly hammering heart.
My eyes fell on dada ji and I took a few seconds before being capable enough to string a sentence together.
"Naina... Naina... kahan hai woh?! Where is she?" I stuttered, looking at dada ji, who looked shocked to find me there.
A few people where grouped near the dining area but my attention was stuck on a stunned-looking dada ji as I walked towards him.
"Naina is here" came her voice, making me stop dead on my tracks. I turned around, towards the source of the voice, to find her standing at the dining area, still dressed in the clothes she had worn to work that morning, looking as confused as the rest of the family.
"Oh thank God!!" I cried in relief, rushing towards her and engulfing her into a tight bone crushing hug.
I couldn't help pepper her whole face with kisses - she was here in flesh and bone in front of me!! She was safe!!
"Thank God you're safe!!" I beamed, letting go off of her just enough to be able to look at her face.
Her face was glowing, redder than the deepest shade of red with every passing second.
"Of course she'll be safe... what would happen to her?!" dadaji's stern voice drew my attention.
"I thought she...." I trailed off, turning to look at Naina, who was still in my arms.
"She's been here since morning" Kunal added as he too made his way towards us.
"Oh?! She hadn't been picking up her calls... and neither were you all..." I trailed off.
"We um.. were a little.... busy..." Kunal trailed off, shooting a furtive glance towards dadaji.
"I heard" I pursed my lips. I watched Kunal and dada ji chance a knowing glance at one another, before Kunal turned to smile at me.
"What did you hear?" he smiled, the smile didn't reach his eyes.
"About RGI.... " I pursed my lips.
Kunal's smile faltered, and dadaji's eyes flared.
"Can't I.." I began but dada ji cut me in.
"We are very proud people Abhimanyu... hum ne hummari company khud k mehenat se khada kiya hai... ups and downs are parts of life... we'll recover it all in no time" dada ji said sternly, before passing me a small smile.
"But I am a part of your family now, aren't I?" I asked, smiling slightly and turning to gaze at Naina who looked rather guilty.
"You are a part of our family beta... but you are not me... I don't take help from anyone" dada ji said sternly.
"B.." I began, but dadi ji cut me in now.
"Lunch is ready..." she said loudly, drawing everyone's attention.
Lunch seemed almost normal as everyone talked and laughed and made me feel like a part of the family, telling little anecdotes from Naina's childhood, leaving her flushed by the end of lunch!!
Whilst everyone else went off for a little relaxing nap post lunch, I walked around the estate with Kunal, wanting to persuade him to accept my health.
"Look Abhi.. thanks a lot for your help... really!! It means a lot... but it's okay now... the situation is manageable" he said even before I could breach the topic!
"We haven't asked or accepted for Dharam jiju's help so we can't and won't accept your help either... but really... if the situation gets worse, we will think of you" he smiled.
I didn't like the idea, but really, what other choice did I have?!
I sighed and nodded and for a while the two of us walked in silence.
"Um Shruthi and I... We had gone to the foctor" Kunal said all of a sudden, breaking the silence.
"What?" I gaped at him.
"Yeah... We will get the results in a week I think but we hadn't really said anything at home... imagine the catastrophe that would be created!" Kunal chuckled.
I smiled, but my smile died away as my eyes fell on Naina as she stood right in front of me.
"I will go back" Kunal mumbled, nodding at Naina and then at me.
Even before I could say anything, Naina tugged at my hand, leading the way deeper into the garden.
"Bhai and I used to spend our summers in this garden... picking ripe mangoes... Shruthi too would be there.... and then there was this huge loss that RGI suffered... dada ji had to sell up everything... but we had our home... dada ji and papa worked in our garage... dadi ji and ma would pickle these mangoes and make jams and make papads and sell them to help dada ji and papa financially... " she smiled as she sat down on one of the swings in the mango garden, indicating me to sit as well.
"They could have had easily sold off the mansion and managed easily.... but khandani ghar... dadaji's grandfather had himself laid the stones to this mansion... part of this property was owned by dadaji's grandfather's father... We Raichands are very proud people Abhi.." she smiled, looking at me.
"I can see that" I pursed my lips.
"But we Raichands can also apologize when we realize we have made a mistake" she said, making me raise my bow.
"I'm sorry Abhi.." she sounded apologetic.
I nodded, pursing my lips - what else could I do or say?
I walked deeper into the garden, sniffing in the fragrance of the different flowers, and the soft fragrance of the mango leaves. The flowers were just budding, and in a few months, the garden would surely be full of the heavy fragrance of these delicious mangoes!
The sounds of footsteps made me turn around to find Naina standing a few steps behind me, still looking apologetic.
I forced a smile and looked away.
But she wrapped her arms around me, making me turn towards her. Before I knew it, she'd tugged at my neck, and standing on tip-toes, placed her lips plush on mine!
I gasped and moaned as her lips assaulted mine, whilst her hand started tugging at the zip to my trouser.
"Mm... someone might.." I tried to mumble in between the kiss, but her kiss only got fiercer.
She tugged at my lips, bit and suck on my lips, before thrusting her tongue into my mouth.
I could barely grasp what she was doing to my lips, when her hands found my already erect member, making her grin triumphantly against my lips.
"Nain..." I began, but it turned to a moan as her well adept warm soft hand started stroking me.
She stopped kissing me abruptly, making me groan, but I hissed and moaned as she knelt in front of me, only to look up at me seductively through her beautiful doe shaped eyes.
A smile curled her lips as she batted her eyelashes seductively at me, before tugging at my boxers too. Smacking her lips appreciatively, she winked at me, before running her tongue through my entire length.
I groaned as hissed as she began her assault on me, till I finally moaned out my pleasure, with her mouth stuffed with me.
Exhausted and panting for breath at the climax that shook my ground, I saw as Naina neatly pulled up my boxers and zipped back my trousers in place, before tugging me to the ground.
Laying my head over her lap, I looked up at her as she smiled at me, caressing my hair fondly.
And at that moment, I realized that not only did I love the woman with all my heart, but I would hand her the knife and let her stab me in the heart a hundred times over and over again if it meant that she'd keep smiling like this!!
To be continued...
A/n - as promised, the next chapter is here! Hope you all liked it.
Leave your comments and thoughts - I promise to reply to each and every one of them.
Hmm Naina and her harsh tongue... Of Naina and her magical tongue?! I know that most of you term her as selfish - I personally agree to this. But then there's another question - do we force ourselves to love someone just because they love us?
When you look at it from Abhi's P.o.v, yes he's trying his best and everything... He deserves better, agreed.
But what about Naina's P.o.v? Should she love Abhi just because he loved her and everyone else says he's the right guy for her? Let's call this food for thought.
At least, in my opinion, neither is wrong. But what is wrong is the way she takes him for granted. Unfortunately, this is what most of us tend to do in life - when we get used to that love and pampering from someone (family/friends/bf/gf) we tend to take it for granted - at least sometimes! But it's not because we don't love them back - it's just because we know that for sure they'll be there standing to hold us when we fall.
With this, I take your leave for now.
Please people - be safe. Take care and protect yourselves and your family.
The next update will be on Tuesday (31st March)
Love,
Megha ❤️
