Bitter Reality

Something Unusual

Kabir's POV

When you wake up in the morning only to be greeted by the sleeping beauty beside you it makes you feel ecstatic!

When I woke up it was 7 in the morning, I sighed looking at Naina. She was still sleeping soundly on her side of the bed and our little pillow wall is still there. Her hair was all over face, it was a sudden urge within my heart that made me reduce the gap between us. I quietly removed all the fallen strands off her face and saw her beautiful face. My mind reeled of what happened yesterday; I smiled thinking about what I thought and what I ended up doing!

Last night whatever I did was not planned! In fact, I was thinking about making a move but when I saw Naina at the dinner, her face was pale; she was utterly scared and uncomfortable so much that she was just playing with her food. She hardly ate anything that too just to avoid attention. Also when I came to our bedroom she was all jittery. Looking at all the decorations and the way Naina was sitting on the centre of the bed made me weak in my knees, s****l tension was clear and it was suffocating her, I could tell that by just looking at her face. Her face was flushed and she was sweating. At that Moment I knew I had to stop thinking about my stupid thoughts and have to do something to make Naina a little comfortable. That is the reason why I said all those stupid things but what surprised me the most was that she said is okay with me sharing the bed. When I said about taking the couch I didn't wanted to but I am glad that Naina is now getting comfortable with me around her.

"Stop eye raping me Kabir" Naina snapped at me opening her one eye bouncing me back to reality. The way she said it seriously she looked adorable.

"Well you look so cute that it is difficult for me to take my eyes off at you" I said a little surprised with my own confession.

She blushed and said, "You don’t look bad either". This made me smirk and she turned to other side to hide her flushed face due to embarrassment.

"So you do think I am handsome?" I asked her tilting my head towards her and still grinning like an i***t. What a way to start a morning!

"Ooh when did I say that? Don't flatter yourself mister. Plus there is only one person who can look amazing even with sleepy eyes that is Ranbir!" She said checking the time, completely ignoring me.

"Who is Ranbir?" I asked her turning her to face me. And seeing me like this she laughed holding her stomach as if I should know who he is.

"You don't know him? Look at your face Kabir you look so angry and you are all ready to beat the s**t out of him" she said still laughing so hard that her eyes started to water.

"Ranbir kapoor, Kabir who else Ranbir can be?" She said finally taking her time. Relief flooded over me listening to those words.

"Fine I am not a huge fan of this Ranbir. I have seen some of his movies, he is good but e can do a lot better if just stops messing around with girls." I said

“Don’t judge him! I hate it when people judge, you don’t know his life or his struggles so please don’t assume anything!” Naina retorted back defending him.

I said nothing at her remark and made my way towards the washroom to do my morning business without even giving her any answer and without even waiting for her to say anything.

After showering I was getting ready for office. Checking my schedule for today on my Ipad, I had only one meeting and some other work which require my immediate attention this means I can come home early; also we both have to go to Naina's house for dinner!!

-------------

"Maa I am going to the office. Will come back around 4 pm." I said making my way towards the foyer only to be stopped by Naina.

"How can you leave without even having anything?" She asked me a little annoyed.

"Because I can Naina and also I am in a hurry. I will have something on my way!" I said but Naina took my hand and dragged me towards the dining table.

"Nope, not going to happen. Sit and have a glass of juice and a piece of bread" She said instructing me and crossing her arms against her chest.

At this moment I cannot deny and just the thought of Naina doing this all for me made my heart swell with happiness. I surrendered to her orders and began eating without saying anything.

I was just munching my breakfast when my mother came towards the dining table only to taunt me.

"Thanks Naina for doing this. Now officially you are the only one who can handle his tantrums. Otherwise it is his usual routine of not having anything." She said casually and patting Naina's cheek.

"Okay now you have someone to whom you can complaint about me" I said to my mom suddenly feeling a little possessive. I was annoyed at my mother how can she take Naina's side?

"Ohh, my baby is getting jealous?"She said shooting a glare at me giggling.

I just huffed in annoyance and left both of them to go the office. Honestly I was not interested in going. I just wanted to see Naina all the time. Even today she looked beautiful in a purple color sari. What amazed me the most was when I noticed she was wearing the pendant that I gave her! It just made my day even more amazing than it already was.

--------------------

It is just so tiring to be at office after not working for seven days but I must say what is pushing me is the thought of seeing Naina today. I was missing her terribly and around 2 pm I even thought of calling her but knowing her I knew would be busy. It was around 4:30 that my meeting got over and I was glad that my meeting went well with the help of Arav Bhai. Now it was time for me to leave!

Around 5, I reached my home and my eyes were searching for only one person. But unfortunately she was nowhere to be seen!

"She is getting ready" my mom said smiling at me.

"Ooh" that was the only word I could get out of my mouth.

"I am happy that you are happy with Naina, Kabir" my mom said feeling proud of her.

"Thank you maa, Naina is the best thing that happen to me and that is just because of you!” I said feeling extremely grateful towards her.

"Go and change your clothes Naina must be ready by now!" My mom said and left me alone in the living room.

Then I make my way towards our room and knock. I heard her voice and this is the voice which I have been craving to listen.

"You ready?” I asked her eyeing her from top to bottom. She has no idea how much the combination of black and purple suits her.

"Yeah I am going downstairs so that you can change. I am waiting for you!” She said a little too formally but I didn't say anything and just nodded.
