Kavya's POV

I woke up to find myself wrapped in Kabir's arms. It took me a second to realize where I was. I turned around and looked at Kabir and my heart broke for him. How much has he suffered in such a young age. He pulled me so close that there was not even an inch of gap between. He snuggled into my neck. So, this is how my colleagues feel with their husbands. This feeling feels so foreign and new to me.

Shit! What am I thinking? I pushed his hands and got up and got down from the bed.

'You got up?' Kabir also woke up and sat on the bed. I turned around to look at him. He wore his shirt.

'Yes. Sorry, you also woke up because of me,' I said and he just looked at me and shrugged.

'Now, we have to wait for him to come so we have to give him the keys and then we can leave. Finally, the rain has stopped,' he said as he opened the window of the room.

'Yes. Finally,' I sighed and sat on the bed.

'Sorry, you have to suffer so much because of me,' he said as he sat beside me.

'It's okay. Now, I just want him to come so that we can leave from here,' he said and that time, we heard a knock and Kabir hurriedly went and opened the shutter and the shopkeeper came inside. I got out of the room to see that Kabir is giving him the keys and after that, without saying anything we left the shop as we both were angry at him for blackmailing us last night.

'Finally,' he looked at the sky and took a deep breathe. 

'Are you okay now?' I asked him.

'Yes. I am okay now.'

I took his hand in mine. 'Yesterday was a tough day for you. I am glad that you are okay,' I said and he gave me a small smile and we started walking towards his house.

After some time, I realized that he has not left my hand and in that second, I realized that I don't want him to leave my hand. I am happy that he has hold my hand. We were walking silently without saying a word. As soon as we reached the house, we saw his princes standing at the gate. As soon as she saw us, she came running towards us and hugged Kabir which resulting him to leave my hand.

'Where were you? We were so worried about you,' she asked as Kabir started caressing her back.

'Princess, I am fine now,' he said and broke their hug.

'All night we didn't sleep as we were worried about you. Raj cried the whole night,' she told him and tears started rolling down her cheeks.

'Don't ever scare us like that again,' she shouted at him and was still crying.

'Shh... princess, don't cry. I don't like to see tears in your eyes. You know that, right?' he said while wiping her tears.

I was feeling like I was coming between their personal moment so I went inside the house.

'Both of you are back?' Anand uncle and Raj said at the same time.

'Yes,' I said and went and sat beside Raj on the sofa.

'What happened last night?' Uncle asked and I started to tell him while I saw Kabir and his princess coming inside.

'Sir, I am so glad to see both of you safe,' Uncle cut me off and went towards Kabir.

'Bhai,' Raj shouted as soon as he saw Kabir. Kabir went and hugged him.

'I was so scared. I have already lost mom and dad. I can't loose you bhai,' he said and Kabir broke their hug and kissed his forehead.

'I am not going anywhere. I am fine,' Kabir said and sat beside Raj.

'Then what happened, madam?' Raj asked me and I begin again and uncle once again came to listen to me.

'We didn't sleep the whole night as we were worried for you guys. Next time, at least take one mobile with you. Anyways, all well that ends well. Go and get freshen up. I will prepare breakfast for you,' uncle said.

'I want to kill that shopkeeper,' Tanisha said.

'I also wanted to do the same yesterday and today also but stopped myself. He took advantage of our situation,' Kabir said.

'Anyways, leave all that. Go and freshen up. Tanisha, you all go and get freshen up,' uncle said.

'I was going but then I saw Kabir coming and forgot about it. Next time if you don't take your phone, I will kill you,' she said and Kabir started laughing.

'Okay, princess,' he said and then asked her to go and get ready.

I went in my room and was going in the washroom when I heard a knock on the door. I opened it to saw Kabir standing in front of me.

'Thank you for telling them that you have a problem with rain due to some past trauma,' he said.

'I know that you don't want to share it with anyone so I lied and said that I have some trauma and I am afraid of thunder and rain.'

'I am really grateful for that, Kavya. Thank you for everything,' he said making me smile and then he left and I went in the washroom.

*****

After breakfast, Kabir went somewhere without telling anybody and it has been an hour since he left.

'Kabir,' I heard Tanisha's voice as she came inside.

'He has gone somewhere,' I said.

'Where?' she asked and sat beside me.

'I don't know,' I said and went back to watch the movie.

'How did you meet handsome?' she asked and that word 'handsome' annoys me so much.

'We met when he came to pick up Raj,' I replied.

'You are his school teacher?' she asked.

'Yes.'

'By the way, do you have any problem with me?' she asked and I looked at her.

'No. Why?'

'I just felt it,' she replied.

'It's nothing like that. It just takes time for me to get close with someone.'

'You both are so similar. He is also like that. Now, I understood why you are friends with each other. When we met, I was the only one who used to talk and he used to just listen but with time, he started opening up and now we are like best friends,' she said with a big smile on her face.

'What are you guys talking about?' we heard a voice and looked to see Kabir standing in the doorway.

'Where were you?' she asked as he came and sat beside us.

'Close your eyes,' he said.

'You have bought a present for me?'  she asked excitedly making him laugh.

'First, close your eyes,' he said, again and she closed her eyes.

He took her hand in him and put a box on her palm.

'What is this?' she asked excitedly and he asked her to open the box.

There was a beautiful chain with a butterfly pendant.

'Wow! Thank you so much, handsome. I loved it,' he said and hugged him.

'Can you please tie it?' she broke the hug and took her hair forward.

'It's beautiful, right?' she asked me.

'Yes. It is beautiful. I will go to my room,' I said and started leaving.

'Kavya, don't leave. I have something for you too,' he said as he took the chain and went behind the sofa.

'I am surprised that you still remember that I love butterflies,' she said as he tied the chain around her neck.

'I remember everything about the people I care,' he said as she got up and stood in front of him.

'How is it looking?' she asked him.

'Beautiful, princess.'

'Thank you so much, handsome. I loved it so much. Now, I am excited to see what you bought for kavya,' she said as he came and sat beside me and looked at me.

'Close your eyes,' he said and I excitedly closed my eyes. After so many years, I am getting a gift by someone.

I closed my eyes and he took my hand and he kept something on my palm.

I opened my eyes to see my mangalsutra in my hand.

'You bought it back from him?' I asked.

'Yes. I gave him cash and bought back your mangalsutra. Are you not happy?' he asked and I realized that I had no expression on my face.

'No, I am happy. I am just surprised,' I said and looked at the mangalsutra.

Frankly, I don't know why I am disappointed to see my mangalsutra. Why am I not feeling happy? I should feel happy, but I am not feeling happy. I am feeling sad but I don't know why.

'You never took it off as you always felt that you are close to him while wearing this so I felt very bad that you have to give it to that bastard because of me so I went to the nearby ATM, took out cash, gave it to him and bought back your mangalsutra,' he said and I tried to smile but I was feeling like crying.

Shit! What had happened to me?

'What happened, Kavya? You seem sad?' he asked.

'I am happy,' I said and tried to smile but tears started rolling down my cheeks. I wore my mangalsutra and ran towards my room. I went inside and laid on my bed and started crying.

Why am I crying? I should be happy that he thought so much about me and bought back my mangalsutra.

What has happened to me? What am I feeling?

I heard a knock on the door and got up. I wiped my tears and went to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, I was surprised to see Tanisha standing in front of me.

'Are you okay?' she asked.

'Yes. Come in,' I said and she came inside and sat on the bed.

'Are you okay?' she asked again as she patted the bed gesturing me to sit beside her.

'Yes,' I said and she wiped the tears which again started rolling down my cheeks even though I tried to stop it.

'Why are you crying?' she asked.

'I don't know,' I said and suddenly she pulled me towards her and hugged me tightly. I held her tightly and cried my heart out.

She broke our hug and again wiped my tears.

'What happened?' she asked softly and again wiped my tears.

'I don't know. I am feeling sad and hurt even though I should feel happy as he gave me my managalsutra but, I don't know why I am not feeling happy,' I said.

'Maybe because, you expected him to give him something else.'

'No. I don't expect anything from him but---

'When you saw him, giving me chain and then when he told you to close your eyes, you expected something else, right?' she asked while cutting me off.

'Yes. But, I don't want anything from him. I don't know what happened. I should be happy but I am feeling like crying. I am feeling like there's a pain in my heart. I have never felt something like this.' I poured my heart out to her.

I don't know why I am telling her all this but I want to know what my problem is. I just want somebody to help me.

'Do you love handsome?' she asked and I looked at her.

'What?' I asked.

'I love Sohum. I don't love Kabir,' I told her. She is saying nonsense.

'Firstly, you loved Sohum but he is not alive,' she said and I looked at her.

'Just now, handsome told me about it. He just told me that you lost your husband and living alone for the past three years. Anyways, secondly, if you love Kabir, it doesn't mean you don't love Sohum. You can love Sohum and still you can fall in love with Kabir.'

'I don't love him. He is just my good friend,' I told her.

'So you don't feel jealous when he bought his favourite cake for me? You don't feel hurt when he sits and watch news with me? You don't feel anything when he tied the chain around my neck?' she asked numerous questions at a time and I started thinking about everything.

'Friends also get jealous,' I countered her.

'So, you admit that you were jealous of us?' she had a smirk on her face.

'I am just joking. You don't have to say anything. Let's leave that, tell me how do you feel when you are with handsome?' she asked.

I remembered the times I have spend with him. With him I feel safe, free and happy.

And, I also feel angry, hurt and sad.

For the first time, I am feeling so many emotions.

'The way you behaved today, I also did the same. He was my best friend. I always thought him as my good friend but then he had a girlfriend and instead of being happy for him, I was so sad. It felt like my heart is breaking into pieces whenever I saw them together but now I am fine. I made myself understood that he is not for me and now I am perfectly fine. Now, I always see them together in office, have lunch with them and somedays, I even go to dinner with them but now it doesn't hurt me,' she said and held my hand in hers.

'Kavya, I don't want you to go through what I had gone through. That one month was the worst time of my life. Do you love Kabir, not as a friend but the way, a woman loves a man? Think about it. You will get your answer soon if you open your heart. Don't get stuck in the past. Think about your future,' she told me.

'And if you can't come into a conclusion, just close your eyes and imagine your future. If you see him in it instead of being alone, then he is the one for you. I denied my feelings as he was just my best friend and I had never thought of him more than a friend, but one day, I applied this trick and then I saw a future with him, but, sadly, he is not in my future,' she added.

'Now, I will leave but before that, let's exchange numbers. I know, you will not call me, but I will call you and ask you about it because if you accept your feelings for him, we have to do a lot of things to make my handsome agree that he loves you as he does not believe in love and marriage,' she said making me laugh.

'Are you fine?' I asked her as I felt sad for her after hearing her story.

'I am fine now,' she replied and I nodded my head.

'Anyways, I will tell you your answer now only. Kabir is just my good friend and for him also, I am his good friend but, you can call me. I am so happy to earn a friend today. Sorry, if I seemed rude to you,' I said.

'I understood that you were jealous so don't worry,' she said.

'I was not----

'Don't say anything. Wash your face and come down. Handsome is dying to meet you. You both are so similar. He also loves you but he is also saying that you both are good friends,' she said cutting me off.

'Because we are just good friends. I don't love him like a woman loves a man, and he doesn't love me like a man loves a woman,' I said.

'We will see,' she said and I didn't argue further as I know there is nothing like that. Today, maybe I just felt jealous as a friend, he is more close to her than I am or maybe I felt like crying, even though I should not as Kabir thought about me and bought back the mangalsutra.

She called me and I came out of my thoughts and she asked me to give her my number. We exchanged numbers and then she left and I went and stood in front of the mirror and looked at myself.

Why I acted like that today? I looked at my mangalsutra. I had never removed it till yesterday and Kabir thought about it and bought it back for me.

What Tanisha said is true?

No, it can't be true. I am thinking stupidly. I don't know why I cried and, maybe, it's okay, somedays,  we don't know why we cry.

What she said can't be true. We are just very good friends.

I heard a knock on the door and went to open it.

'Are you okay?' Kabir asked as soon as I opened the door.

'When you started crying, I wanted to follow you, but princess stopped me and said that she will talk with you and while coming downstairs, she was talking with somebody on the phone, she just gave me a thumbs up and left,' he huffed angrily making me smile.

'Are you okay? Why were you crying? Did I do something to upset you?' he asked me.

'No. I just---

'Then, I thought that, maybe, after seeing the mangalsutra, you remembered Sohum and started crying because through my eyes other than that, there is no other reason,' he said before I could answer him.

I cried for him. I don't know the reason, but I know that I cried for him and here he is thinking that I am crying for Sohum.

'I am fine now,' I said.

'Look, your eyes got so swollen,' he said and caressed under my eyes.

'You will not tell me why you cried, right?' he asked.

I only don't know the reason and I dont want to think about what Tanisha was saying.

I shook my head.

'Anyways, leave all that, thank you so much for bringing back my mangalsutra. Did he give it easily to you?' I asked the question I should have asked him long time back instead of crying for the reason I don't even know.

'Yes. After seeing the money, he gave it in a second.'

'I will pay you the money back monthly,' I told him.

'If you give me the money back, I will never talk to you,' he said and I looked at his face to see that if he was joking but he seemed serious.

I will break down if he will stop talking to me. Now, I can't imagine my life without talking to him.

'Are you serious? Then I will not give you the money,' I said and he started laughing.

'Now I know how to stop you from returning my money back to me,' he said.

'I will not talk to you. Leave,' I ordered and sat on the bed.

He sat beside me and caressed my head. 'You are my good girl, right? Don't be angry with me, please?' he said and my eyes widened and his eyes also widened.

Maybe, he realized what he said.

'I mean, I wanted to say, you are my good friend,' he corrected himself.

'It's okay,' I said and his mobile started ringing.

'Okay, I just said it casually, don't think too much about it. I will leave as I have to take this call,' he said and left the room.

I am not angry at him. I am angry at myself for liking it when he said 'his good girl.'

Tanisha can't be true. He is just my good friend. Today, I am thinking stupid things. I should give myself a rest and maybe, tomorrow, my thoughts will be back to normal again.

What Tanisha said can't be true. Me and Kabir are just good friends.
