Hello Everyone.
Shot 4
The Roller coaster ride !!
Karthik’s POV.
Three months later.
As said by Everyone, the first two to three months were the prosperous period as newly wed couple. After that, fights started to begin from hanging the wet towel on its place to good night kiss.
My team had to complete a project and I had been busy since a month. At the last minute, the system where the data was stored got corrupted. So we had to rush the things since we had only one week for the dead line.
I was fully frustrated. At the same time, her parents came to stay with us for a week. Though I managed to act normal for the first three days, it wasn’t possible for me to act all the time whenever they were around.
Sometimes, I threw a tantrum at Naira and they noticed it. I didn’t want her parents to think that Naira took a wrong step by choosing me. So I stayed at my friend’s house for the next three days making some excuses and planned to return home on the day they would be leaving.
Unfortunately I couldn’t make it to home but I made sure to see them before they would board the train and I did as well. When I returned home from the railway station, it was around quarter past 1. I opened the door with a spare key. I saw her, half lying on the sofa with closed eyes.
I sat on the sofa beside her, placing my laptop bag on the table. “Why are you late ?!! didn’t you know my parents were leaving tonight ?!!” she asked and her anger was visible in her voice.
“I had some work and I…” I started saying but before I could tell her about visiting her parents at the station she cut me off by saying, “Work work work !!! for the past one and half month you are saying this and forgetting about me”.
I was too tired to argue with her so I just said, “We will talk about this later Naira.” and got up. I grabbed the laptop bag and was about to go towards our bedroom but she stopped me by pulling my hand in a harsh way.
“No !! we need to talk now.” she said.
“I am listening” I said with folded hands, leaning on the sofa again.
“It’s just 8 months since we are married. I know work is important for you and you have a project to complete. But what about me ?!! Do you remember when we last ate dinner together ?!! or at least talked to each other freely ?!! Okay !! leave about me. Why did you stay out when my parents came to stay with us ?!! what will they think about us ?!! did you forget how we got married ?!! This behavior of yours hurts me Karthik. I am feeling like you are ignoring me. You are bored with me. I am not like Gayatri, right ?!! I don’t have a perfect body. I don’t like those clingy things.” She said, her eyes filled with tears.
“What do you mean ?!! Why are you saying things like this ?!!” I didn’t like a bit when she compared herself with Gayatri.
“I heard you talking with your friend about her. You were comparing me with her.” she said while tears slipped out of her eyes.
Yeah !! I had compared Naira with Gayatri,infront of my team mate, Swayam because he planned to propose her. When I had asked him what he liked the most in Gayatri, he had spoken only about her outer beauty. So I compared her with my Naira to explain him that inner beauty is more important.
“You took me wrong.” I said but was cut off by her again .
“You don’t have to explain. I never cared about my appearance and what people talk about me. But now, I feel so low, so low that my husband doesn’t have interest in me.”, she said with a choking voice.
I couldn’t see her like that. My temper rose. She was insulting my love for her by saying these non-sense things.
“I thought I chose an understanding, caring, practical woman but I was wrong. You failed me.” I said and left to our room and straight away went to washroom then turned on the shower to calm my nerves.
When I came out draping a towel around me, I saw her packing her luggage. I was hurt by her gesture but didn’t utter a word. I took my night suit and vanished inside the washroom again. While dressing up, I heard the sound of door slamming. When I came out of washroom, the bedroom door was wide open and she wasn’t there.
My eyes filled with tears. I sat on the bed with a thud burying my face into my hands. Just then, some one hit me with a soft thing. I looked up and there she was holding a pillow. The luggage was lying at the door step.
She started to hit me while saying, “Why didn’t you say don’t go ?!! Why didn’t you hug me to stop me ?!! What did you think ?!! If I leave, you will enjoy your life. I didn’t love you and marry you to leave you. You have to bear me for the rest of your life. I won’t leave you. It’s my house and you are my husband”.
Somehow, I got hold of her hands and snatched the pillow then threw it away. I pulled her closer, “Why should I stop you ?!! you were the one who decided to leave me without thinking how much I would get hurt by that. You were the one who said non-sense things. you were the one who insulted my love.” I said.
I looked at her for a second. “I love you. I love you the way you are. I need you. don’t leave me again”. I said and hugged her.
“I am sorry.” She said while sobbing.
“I am sorry as well. I shouldn’t have ignored you during my work. I am sorry for making you feel insecure.” I said and caressed her back.
After consoling each other, I explained her about my talk with Swayam, meeting her parents at the railway station and the project issues. She looked at me with guilt filled eyes.
“What made you think that I like Gayatri ?!! Why did you get inferiority complex ?!! Why did you grow insecure of our love ?!! You were never like that” I said.
“I don’t want to lose your love or share you with someone else. I feel very protective of you.” she said, kissing me.
Precap : Kaira !!
