Kaira ff: She Loved A Monster (chp#46: Distance)

Naira fainted as Karthik didn’t wake up after trying a lot. Naitik and Akshara got shocked seeing her faint and her clothes drenched in blood. He went near her and made her sit by holding her with his arm around her shoulders and sprinkled water on her eyes.



Nait: kya hua beta? Utho, Karthik ko kuchh nahi hoga beta, hum kuchh nahi honay dengay usay, humara bhi to rishta hai na us se, bharosa kar hum pe.

She moved a little in his arm and opened her eyes. He caressed her hair and kissed her temple still holding her in his arm. She blinked her eyes several times and turned to Karthik and got out of Naitik’s arm going near Karthik. She held his face and started crying on his chest.

Nait: beta chup hoja meri laaddo, meri gurriya, please beta shaant hoja, hum log tujhe aise dard mein nahi dekh saktay. Main doctor ko bulata hoon.

He sat down next to her and tried consoling her but it was of no use. He signed Akshara to take care of her while he talks to doctor and she nodded and sat with her as he went.

Ak: Beta Karthik ek dum theek hojayega, papa doctor ko bula rahay hain, vo Karthik ko bilkul theek kardega, pani pee lo, tumhara galla sookh gaya hoga ro ro kr.

She made her drink water and kept it on the bedside table. She sent her to change her top as it was fully wet and sticky. As the doctor came, she checked his wrist and said that he was bleeding because he hurt his wrist unknowingly and so the wound started bleeding again and she injected his arm and changed the bandage saying that he will be conscious soon. Naira came out of washroom and Akshara asked the doctor to check if her babies are OK. The doctor placed the stethoscope on her chest to hear her heartbeat as she laid which was normal. She then placed it on her stomach and the babies heartbeat were also normal. She went as Akshara paid her. She went to Naira as the doctor went and sat with her.

Ak: ab to doctor ne keh dia na k Karthik hosh me ajayega? Ab to sukoon me ajao or sojao beta.

N: Maa lekin mujhe us se baat karni hai, or jan’na hai k iske aisa karnay k peechay waja kya hai.

Ak: beta please, u r pregnant, itna stress mat lo or sojao please. Main light band karti hoon.

She switched off the light and made her lay covering her with duvet and kissed her forehead and sat with her making sure she’s sleeping and not wondering about Karthik. She went after sometime. Naira opened her eyes and turned on her elbow looking at him and caressed his face.

N: tumne kiun aisa kiya Karthik? Tumne promise kiya tha, mujhse baat kar saktay thay na, kiun nh ki? Jaldi uth jao, please Karthik.

She tried sleeping but sleep was far away from her eyes. She felt movement on the other side of the bed and just as she was about to lay back, he woke up and saw her crying and cupped her face.

K: I m so…

N: no, its OK, how does it matter to me? U do what u want to do.



She laid down wiping her tears.

K: yar Naira, I m sorry, I really am, main humesha tumhari sunta hoon, tum bhi to suno.

N: kya sunoon main? Tum yeh pehle bhi kar chukay ho or main ne us waqt tumse kuch nh kaha lekin ye dubara karnay ki kya zarurat parr gai? Us waqt humari itni bonding nh thi lekin main tumhare saath thi or ab bhi saath hoon or ab ziada bonding bhi hai, phir kiun baat nh ki? Jo dil me aya wahi kiya, mere baaray mein nahi socha.

K: I was too disturbed, tumhe nahi pata k kya hua.

N: mujhse baat kar k tum vo matter solve kar saktay thay, tumhe pata hai main kitni tension me agayi thi? Tumharay khoon se mera poora shirt bheega hua tha or main behosh hogai, aisi haalat mein ronay se humare bacho par asar par sakta tha, tum ye kaand karnay k baad bhi kiyun aye? Tumko ana hi nahi chahiye tha.



He cupped her cheeks.

K: nahi ata? Ye to tumhari khwahish thi k main tumharay pas ajaun, I know u r angry, but please hear me out.

N: Karthik I need some time, please.

Saying this, she slept. He stared at her face in the dim light, he could she her eyebrows creased and a frown on her lips. He turned on his elbow and entwined her hand with hers.



K: mujhe pata hai tum jag rahi ho or mujhe sun bhi rahi ho, mujhe pata hai k koi mujhe samjhay k na samjhay lekin tum zaroor samjho gi Naira, jab Maa nahi thi to tum thi, tumhay pata tha k main Maa k bager kaise raha hoon or aaj jab Maa ne kaha k meri raggo’n me ganda khoon behta hai, it hurt me a lot, I lost my control.

He said but she didn’t move.

He continued: jab koi or ye sab kahay to itna bura nahi lagta lekin jab koi apna aisa kahay to dil toot jata hai, tum sun rahi ho na?

She opened her eyes and he could see her eyes pooling up with tears.

N: agar aaj tumhe kuchh hojata, main marr jati tum mujhe chhor jatay to.

K: nahi, main dunia chhor doonga lekin tumko kabhi nahi chhorunga.

N: pehle bhi to yehi kaha tha, or tumhe jan lena chahye k tumhari Maa ne aisa kiun kaha.

K: I don’t know about that, but I know one thing that I love u and can’t live without u, tum mere liye sab se pehle important ho,koi or important hai to vo tumharay baad hai, na tumse pehle, na tumhare barabar.



N: I know, but this is wrong, maafi chahye to galti bhi sudhaarni paregi, sorry kafi nahi hai.

She turned to the other side and slept. He too laid back and looked at his wrist and tears came in his eyes as he remembered Swarna’s and Naira’s words.

K: (in his heart) papa ko zaroor pata chala hoga k hum kahan hain, unho ne maa se kuch to kaha hoga or kuchh to hai Jo mujhe nahi pata, main jan k rahoonga.

He too slept. Swarna was sleeping in her room the next morning when the doorbell rang. She sat up rubbing her eyes and wondered who it might be. She went out of her room and answered the door but found no one there. She was about to close the door but her gaze went on the folded piece of paper on the floor, she picked it up and as she read it, she got shocked.

Naira woke up the next morning and saw that she was not in her room but in Karthik’s room, she saw he wasn’t there. He came in the room with his guitar and sat on his knees.
