Never give up on anything whether it is love or your life; have a little faith in yourself and your love...
Kabir's POV
Finally, everything was done! I packed everything that was needed or I may need in Canada. Yes, I am finally going to Canada. For how much time I don't have any idea but I just hope whatever I want to accomplish there I do get that back! I am happy, excited but nervous too. Nobody knows that I am going there except Vedh and Kiara. Naina knows nothing about this as I have strictly instructed Kiara not to tell her about this. I just hope my plan works!
It's been three days since everybody come to know about me and Naina's tentative separation. Tentative because I cannot let her end things like this, whatever we had is not that fragile, we can get past this I am sure, we will survive this together. It has been three days and my mom is still not talking to me, I tried to explain it to her but the moment I try to say something she raises her hand in the air and says, "I don't need your apology, Kabir, Naina needs it. Don't waste your words on me."
It's hurting a lot but I know she loves me and maybe she just needs some time for everything.
Also from the last two days, I am going to the office almost for the whole day. There is so much work there that when I went to the office I actually was surprised to know how wrong my decision of staying at home was. I have understood one thing we have to keep our professional and personal lives separate. I am exhausted like hell. But I am happy that slowly everything is falling in its place...
I also talked to Kiara and that was a horrible idea. Seriously I thought she would at least listen to me once or will try to understand me but nope she was even more difficult to talk to. I actually remember that day, it was when I talked to Vedh, that evening she called me, in fact, I was a little surprise as I wasn't expecting her to call me so soon...
"Is there anything else you wanna say?" Kia said angrily the moment I picked her phone. She didn't say Hi or Hello she directly came to the point!
"Hello to you too Kiara," I said sarcastically.
"I am not here to talk or say hello to you Kabir Just tell me what do you wanna talk about and let's get over with it as you already did what you wanted to do very efficaciously..." She said all in one breath. Seriously for the first time, this made my blood boil. I mean everybody is chiding me for something which I didn't even initiate.
"Look Kia I respect you since you are my wife's best friend but that doesn't mean you have that authority of saying anything to me" I snapped at her. Trust me I was feeling relieved and much better.
"Really Kabir. You think I should be honored but guess what I am not... haa..." She said sarcastically..
"How is Naina Kia?" I asked her calmly. I just wanted to know how she is and I know Kia is the only person who knows about her whereabouts.
"Like you care... but if it feels good to you then listen to me Kabir you really played your part well. She is a mess... her soul is now beyond repair all thanks to you." She said to me. At that moment I felt helpless. Only God knows how much I love Naina but I have to fix everything that is for sure and Kia is the only person who can help me.
"Kia just tell me do you think I love Naina? And tell me honestly" I asked her as if I wanted her to help me I need to make her realise that whatever happened wasn't my mistake not at least entirely. It just happened and sadly I cannot take it back...
"At one moment I thought you love Naina Kabir but eversince she came here she is a total mess.. she still loves you a lot but she is afraid of again getting betrayed. I don't know what I should do to make her laugh. You know the only time she smiled genuinely was when I told her I am getting married. Whenver I see her now I realise she has changed a lot but not in a good way which is really terrifying Kabir. I am seriously worried for her." She said in a surprisingly calm tone.
But I was perplexed as she told me about Naina. It's not only me who was going through all this she was feeling just as f****d up as I was feeling.
"Kia I still love her. Whatever happened I cannot change it. But I love Naina and I want everything to be the way it was previously. And I need your help" I said imploringly and meaning every word that I said.
"If my help makes Naina happy then I an in kabir but don't you dare even think of hurting her otherwise I will seriously come to India and kick your ass. Tell me what is the plan?" She said making me smile. Thank goodness she was convinced.
I was pulled out of my reverie when I heard a knock. And I was shocked to see my mother was standing there with a box which contains laddoo for Naina. But I never thought she will come and personally give this to me...
"Come in Maa you don't have to knock. Just come in." I said to her.
"Kabir these are some laddoos (sweets) for Naina. Give it to her. And Kabir..." she trailed off.
"Maa say it don't hold it back," I said keeping my hands on her shoulders.
"I talked to Naina today," she said with tears in her eyes. And listening to this I was beyond shocked. She was not answering to any of my calls but she anwered my mom's call woww.
"And," I asked curiously. I wanted to know what they talked about. I wanted to know every single word that they exchanged. I know it sounds grotesque but I cannot help it.
"Kabir she is heartbroken. She still loves you soo much but she is confused. She is incomplete without you as you are without her. You both are suffering for no reason! Not even for a second, she doubted you, Kabir. She is upset because you never told her about Avantika this is it Kabir. Go and get my daughter in law back. I want both of you together. So just go" Maa said with a genuine smile. My heart swell with pride thinking about Naina. I am just too blessed to have her in my life as my wife. Knowing all this gives me hope. She still loves me that means she is just upset that is it. Maybe if I will go there everything will become normal again...
"Thank you Maa," I said to my mother and hugged her. I was feeling too thankful to her right now.
"No Kabir don't thank me. Infact I am sorry" she said keeping her hands on both my cheeks.
"I misunderstood your love for Naina Kabir. You are my own son then also I wasn't able to trust you. I am really sorry Kabir. When I was talking to Naina she made me realise that her love for you is unconditional. Infact when you love someone with all your heart then it should be unconditional. She made me realise that she is not upset over what happened in your office and that was not your fault." Maa said with tears in her eyes.
"Don't worry Maa I am going to fix everything. I am going to get her back and she has to forgive me." I said thinking how this whole day was turning out to be the most memorable day of my life.
"Kabir before you go to the airport just meet your father he is waiting for you in his study," Maa said to me which made me a little worried as from the past two days if he is not avoiding me then he is also not even talking to me. I don't know what he wants to talk about I just hope he also forgive me..
"Okay," I said to her and then kept the box that she gave me in my luggage. After exactly one day that is twenty four hours, I will be there with Naina.....
But before that, I have to go and meet my father.
"Dad," I said knocking twicely.
"Come in Kabir," he said authoritatively. As a child, I always got scared when he used to be authoritative. Before I could say to him anything he continued, gesturing me to take a seat exactly opposite to me. Okay, this is not what I was expecting!
"Kabir I just want to say you one thing and listen to me carefully. You know relationships are way too ethereal and are like flowers if you will not care and if they will not receive the desired amount of water or sunlight they will stop growing and end up losing all the brightness in them. To keep our relations strong we have to give them time and nurture them. It's not easy Kabir but we all are doing our share of work. It's not like your mom and I never had any kind of issues! We also had our share of ups and downs but one thing that we still have in our relationship is we still want to be together and we both never gave up on our relationship. Sometimes It was really tough but we managed somehow. Kabir never give up on her and don't let her give up on you. I am going to drop you off to the airport. Let's Go" my dad said and patted my back and I was left stunned. But that piece of advice that he gave me was true and relationships are indeed too delicate.
"Naina I will never let you give up on me and I myself never give up on our relationship" I made a mental note and then left with my father for the airport......
