Bitter Reality

Go With The Flow

Naina's POV

When you don't have any idea what you should do and don't have anyone to tell what is going on in your little head everything hurts. Time never stops for anyone but in my case, it is literally running!

Tomorrow I will get engaged. Hard to believe right but it is the reality. Everybody is busy preparing for tomorrow. Tomorrow everything will change in my life. Technically I should be happy and excited for the coming day but nope I am not feeling anything.

It's been seven days since I met Kabir's parents. That day my mom got discharged from the hospital and she is still recovering but is not too weak I guess. In the last seven days, I hardly talked to Kabir because I knew he is busy there and didn't want to disturb him.

We only talked once and even that was only for ten minutes hardly and to my surprise, he apologized to me for not calling me. But I was quick and said, " if you do not stop apologizing for something which is not even your fault then I am going to cut this call and mark my words Kabir I will never attend your call." I almost threatened him. And instead of saying something he started laughing! I have never heard anybody laugh this hard. But the sound of his laugh somehow made my heart melt.

Irritatedly I said, "I am damn serious Kabir". He stopped laughing immediately sensing I am indeed serious which made me smile and then I heard somebody calling his name I frowned and said, " it's okay go".

"Okay talk to you later. Take care". He said sadly.

That was the last time we talked. That following day I met his younger sister Sanaya. She is a carbon copy of her mother beautiful and down to earth. We both get along well. We shopped together, ate together, gossiped together and laughed until our stomach started to hurt and tears started streaming down from our eyes! It was the most beautiful day for me and also I came to know about Kabir more. I got to know that Kabir is very protective towards her and never let her go anywhere without his consent. It made me smile that he is so possessive when it comes to his sister. She is still in college and is doing fashion designing and also want to be a fashion designer one day. She is full of ambitions. What I love the most is her family always supported her no matter what which made me frown a bit because my parents never cared to know what I wanted in my life according to them all these courses were of no use.

That day I even get to meet Arav bhaiya. I met him once and that day only I liked him. Back then I never thought that I will be marrying his younger brother but today I know soon I will be doing that too. He side hugged me and dropped me home. Also instructed me that if Kabir ever did anything unacceptable then I should just call him directly and he will be there for me and I am just like Sanaya for him.

I laughed at that thought he Just sounded like my own brother. It still makes me nervous when I realize tomorrow I Am going to be engaged.....

In these last few days, I got to know that for four to five days after marriage I and Kabir will live at his parent's house due to some rituals and then we will be living in Kabir's own house. That is definitely going to be difficult for me. I mean I have to live with him all alone!

Right now nobody is at home, so I am lost in my own little world and waiting for only one person who threatened to kill me because I never got the chance to tell her about my mom's condition. I didn't do it intentionally there was soo much going on in my life that I totally forgot to tell her about all of this. I know I am not a good friend but still she should've given me one chance to explain myself but nope she didn't.

And after not talking to me for almost two days today she is coming to my house. According to her, she wants to put some sense in my head. My reverie was broken by the doorbell and I quickly make my way to open the door and there she stood still looking angry. So I decided to hug her tightly almost leaving no space for even breathing. Then she yelled at me," not this time, nothing is gonna work". And went straight to my room! closing the door I followed her and said, "I am so sorry Kia. Please forgive me. I need you right now please." I said in a childish tone which made her smile and she said, "fine but only this time not again. You dare not hide anything from me." I just nodded and sighed. Mission Accomplished!!!

After two hours of chit chatting, Kia asked me something which made my eyes widened.

"What are you going to do on your first night with Kabir?" She asked randomly not even thinking what she is asking me. Not that I was uncomfortable but still this is the question which I am afraid to ask myself!

"What do you mean Kiara?" I asked her as nonchalantly as it was possible for me.

"Stop with this Naina I know you don't want to talk about this topic but you have to tell me. You cannot escape from me! "She said pursing her lips together.

"I don't have any idea Kiara! Honestly, I am freaking out from inside. What if he wants to consummate this marriage on our first day night together? Even that thought scares the hell out of me Kia. I just cannot give myself to someone whom I don't even know! " I said feeling scared of what will happen?

Kia understood my fear and come close to me rubbing my back in a soothing manner to relax me.

"Look Naina I don't know why but I don't think Kabir is that kind of a guy. I mean don't get me wrong but I think he is a sensible man and cares about you. When you told me that he came to your house and kissed you on your forehead and didn't wake you up it is the sweetest gesture I have ever come to know. But if he wants to do it, then first try to talk to him and don't take any step out of hesitation just go with the flow. Never let him dominate you though" she winked at me and I hit her playfully and glaring at her.

"What are you even talking about Kia?" I said and felt the heat on my cheeks.

"You know what I mean. We both watched Fifty Shades together so don't try to act all innocent. Just don't forget to use protection!" She added and I squirmed.

"Shushh, will you?" I said and gave her a death glare.

"Now let's go and have something I am starving," I said and make my way to the kitchen, Kia just followed me...
