Naira's POV:

K: Hello Ms Naira Singhania, nice to meet you, myself Mr Kartik Goenka.

He put his hand forward and shakes hands with me, with the same smile that I loved, and maybe still love.

It's been 4 years, since I heard his voice, since I saw him, felt his touch, all of a sudden his presence made me feel happier than I was normally. What happened 4 years ago was all wrong, it was my fault, and he had to suffer. I made the love of my life, my life suffer, it was my mistake, my misunderstanding and it all ruined his life. Every moment spent with him was heaven, it made me feel like I was the most special human, but since the day he left, I had never felt so special and loved ever again, it felt as if a part of me had left with him.

FLASHBACK OF FOUR YEARS AGO:

I couldn't believe what I had seen, I never knew that the guy who made hundred promises to me could break all of them in one go, that he could betray me like this. I was not going to let him hurt me, I needed an explanation. I ran to his flat, to see him sitting on the sofa, half sleepy and tired.

N: Kartik mujhe kuch sawalon ke jawab chahiye
K: Kya hua Naira, sab thik toh hain na
N: Sab thik nahi hain Kartik, aur yehi toh problem hain, tum yeh batao, tum aise sleepy aur tired kyun lag rahe ho, jaise ki drink karke aye ho
K: Naira kal main reunion mein gaya tha na, toh waha pe pata nahi drinks shayad exchange ho gaye the, aur mujhe kuch yaad bhi nahi hain.
N: Acha aur uss Natasha ke saath kya hua yeh yaad hain
K: Natasha, abb voh kaha se beech mein aa gayi
N: Yaha se

I showed him the CCTV footage of the hotel room, were the reunion was held. It showed Natasha and Kartik in a compromising situation.

K: Naira yeh, mujhe sachme nahi pata ki yeh sab, lekin yeh tumhe mila kaha se, tum mujhpe nazar lageye baithi thi
N: Nazar nahi fikar, tum phone nahi utha rahe the toh uss hotel mein aa ke tumhari inquiry ki, aur bahut request karne ke baad mujhe CCTV check karne diya, taaki mujhe pata chale ki tum kaha ho aur thik ho ya nahi, lekin jab footage dekha, tab pata chala ki tum toh kuch zyada hi thik ho
K: Naira, tum kya bol rahi ho, mujhe sachme nahi pata ki Natasha aur main kaise...
N: Kaise toh tumhe hi pata hoga na, mujhe kabhi nahi laga tha ki tum kabhi mujhe dhoka de sakte ho, hum dono ki akele hain, humari koi bhi family nahi hain, aur jabse hum mile mujhe laga hum ek doosre ka pyaar nahi balki family banenge, but mujhe kya pata tha ki tumhe rishte jodna nahi balki todna aata hain
K: Naira please calm down, hum yeh sab solve kar denge, main pata lagata hoon ki actually kya hua, tha yeh CCTV footage mein jo bhi hain na, sab jhooth hain
N: Kuch jhooth nahi hain Kartik, siway unn waadon ke jo tumne mujhe diye tha, kya kaha tha, ki Naira tum meri dhadkan ho, meri saans ho, mera hona na hona tumse hain.
K: Sab saach tha jaan
N: Jaan maat bolna please, aur agar yeh sab saach tha toh yeh sach Natasha ke saath voh sab karte waqt kyun nahi yaad aya.
K: Naira baas, bahut hua, kabse sun raha hoon, dhoka diya, jhooth bola, yeh kiya voh kiya, main tumse pyaar karta hoon, aur maine tumse kahi haar baat saach hain, aur rahi Natasha ki baat toh jo tumne dekha sab galat hain, usme se kuch bhi saach nahi hain.
N: Main kaise maan lu ki maine jo apni aankhon se dekha voh saach nahi hain, balki tum jo bol rahe ho voh bhi nashe ki halat mein jo yaad tha voh saach hain, kaise Kartik.
K: Meri aankhon mein dekho Naira, kya dikhta hain, saach ya jhooth
N: Tumhari aankhon mein mujhe tumhara dhoka dikhta hain Kartik, you know what, it's over, main aise insaan se pyaar nahi kar sakti jo pehle mera bharosa jeete aur phir usse tod de, aur voh bhi aise, itne ghatiya tarike se.
K: Naira meri baat toh suno

I didn't listen, I walked out of there ignoring every word he was shouting, he hurt me, he was the only family I had, and he broke it, he broke my family.

FLASHBACK ENDS

I had never acted the way I acted then, I was not the typical suspicious lover, I never had that much ego or anger, but it all came into my and I broke everything by my own hands. Since that day I never looked back, because my ego and anger came in the way of my love, he was right, he didn't hurt me, he didn't betray me, he didn't break our family, but instead my anger broke our family.

FLASHBACK OF 3 YEARS AGO:

I was learning to move on from him, but he wasn't leaving me thoughts or my heart, because I knew deep inside that even after what he did, my love for him was still alive and might be alive for the rest of my life. One fine day I was preparing my breakfast when my friend Richa called me.

R: Naira sun, tujhe pata hain na voh CCTV footage Kartik ki, voh nakli hain, Natasha ne usme Kartik ko morph kiya tha, kisi aur ladke ki shakal pe Kartik ka chehra chipkaya tha.
N: What, tujhe kaise pata?
R: Kyunki Natasha ne khud kubool kiya hain, Kartik toh chala gaya yeh sheher chod ke, sab kuch chod ke, lekin uske kuch friends ne plan karke Natasha se saach ugalwaya, aur tab sabko pata chala ki Kartik was not guilty instead yeh sab Natasha ka plan tha.
N: Natasha yeh sab kyun plan karegi
R: Kyunki voh humesha se Kartik ki deewani thi, she liked him since the first year of college, aur since then only Kartik usse ignore karta tha. Jabse usse pata chala ki Kartik aur tum saath mein ho, usne decide kiya ki badla lene ke liye, voh tum dono ka rishta tod degi, and unfortunately she succeeded.
N: Mujhe yakeen nahi ho raha ki maine apni zindagi, khud apne hi haathon se barbad kardi, voh Kartik jo mujhse pagalo ki tarah pyaar karta hain, voh Kartik jisse main pagalon ki tarah pyaar karti hoon, ussi pyaar ko maine apne pagalpan main tod diya. Abb main kya karu, mujhe kuch samajh mein hi nahi aa raha.
R: Naira main khush hoon ki tumhe saach pata chala, tum guilty feel kar rahi ho, but tumhe nahi lagta ki abb bahut der ho gayi hain, I know you both from since the first time you met, tabse main janti hoon ki tum dono kaise ho, tum dono ka pyaar kaisa hain, maine kabhi nahi socha tha ki aisi baat ki wajah se tumhara rishta tootega. I though kabhi aisi situation ayegi bhi toh, tum dono ek doosre pe trust karoge, aur Naira they way you acted, never in my life I though ki main tumhara koi aisa, ego aur anger se bhaara side dekhungi. Mujhe laga tha ki tum sochogi, haar point of view se, but tumne toh, voh kahavat jaisa kar diya, the 'apne hi per pe kulhadi mar di' wala.
N: I know Richa, maine aise act kiya jaise ki main koi aur hi hoon, but mujhe toh sabse zyada chinta iss baat ki hain ki maine Kartik ko itna hurt kiya, voh mujhe abb kabhi maaf nahi karega. Aur kare bhi kyun, main uspe shak kiya, usse blame kiya, uska dil toda, sab barbaad kar diya, kaise aur kyun kare mujhe maaf.
R: Naira calm down, Kartik bahut pyaar karta hain tumse, abhi der nahi hui hain, agar chaho toh hum sab milke usse dhoondte hain aur sab thik ho jayega.
N: Nahi hoga kuch bhi thik, maine sab barbaad kar diya hain, abb kuch bhi thik nahi hoga, kuch bhi nahi, main abb uski life mein waapis jaake aur problems nahi create karna chahti, shayad humari kismat mein saath hona likha hi nahi hain, shayad main uske liye bani hi nahi hoon, uski life mein koi aur hi hoga.
R: What nonsense Naira, tum don--
N: I don't want to talk about this Richa, rehne do, abb hum dono ka kuch nahi ho sakta, voh life mein aage badh jayega, usse apna saacha pyaar mil jayega, ha main kabhi uske ilawa aur kisi ke pyaar nahi kar paungi, but uske liye meri smile sabse zyada important thi ek time pe, toh main bhi life mein khush rahungi, sirf uske liye, uske liye life mein aage badhungi, but pyaar mein nahi.

FLASHBACK ENDS

I decided to move on in my life, but not in my love life, and continue to keep smiling, because Kartik loved my smile, and he wanted me to stay happy, whether he was there or not. I stayed happy, I focused on my career, and forever loved Kartik, even knowing that he may have even forgotten on me.

I then realised reality, that I was standing in front of the same Kartik.

K: Hello, kaha koh gayi aap
N: No nothing, I.. myself Naira Singhania
K: Nice to meet you Ms Singhania

He was acting professional, well he probably had moved on, and my presence didn't affect him the way he affected me.

K: Well, apologies if I kept you waiting, but traffic you know
N: No problem at all
K: Aap kuch discussion kar rahi thi waiter ke saath, any issues?
N: Nahi kuch nahi, let's start the meeting
K: No Ms Singhania, please tell me, aap mere sheher mein ayi hain, aur mere sheher mein aapko problem, can't let that happen.
N: Umm, voh yaha ki coffee ka taste...
K: Let me see, waiter aapka kitchen kaha hain
W: Sir, sorry, main phirse le aata hoon
K: Nahi, Ms Singhani humari special guest hain, main khud unke liye special coffee banana chahta hoon
W: Ohk sir...

Kartik went inside to make coffee for me. He remembers... at one time, the only coffee I would drink was of his, and after 4 years I was going to taste the same love-filled coffee of his. Since the day he left, I did drink coffee, but no coffee reminded me of him, no coffee made me feel the way his one made me feel.

K: Here's your special coffee Ms Singhania.

I was happy with him being there, I was blessed to have him in my life again, but what hurt me was him calling me Ms Singhania, I wanted to hear my name from his mouth, because it made not only me, but my name also feel special.

N: Thank you, but iski koi zaroorat nahi thi Ka-- Mr Goenka.
K: Please everyone leave, hum dono meeting continue kar lenge

He made every one including his PA & my PA leave the place, I just hoped he wasn't going to blame me, and get angry at me for what I did to him. Yes I deserve it but I can't handle hatred from him.

K: So Ms Singhania, kya keh rahi thi aap, zaroorat nahi hain, zaroorat hain, zaroorat issiliye hain kyunki aapko humare ilawa aur kisiki coffee pasand kaha ati hain
N: Ji?
K: Ji.
N: Kar--
K: Ms Singhania, if you're happy with the taste, can we proceed with the meeting.
N: Y.. Yes...I... yeah, so umm, we're...
K: Aap itne nervous kyun hain, it's just a normal meeting
N: Yes... can I just have a minute, I'll be right back from the washroom
K: Sure, I'll wait

I didn't how to act, specially after seeing him act as if we were nothing for each other, he was acting as if there had never been anything between us, it was expected, why would he still love me, I killed his love 4 years ago when I doubted him. I went to the washroom and cried my heart out, I wanted to hug him, tell him that I love him and I'm sorry for what I did, what I said, and I wanted him back, I wanted us back. But it wasn't possible, he had moved on, and god knows, he might even have someone in his life, maybe that's why he's acting so normal, but the coffee, he still remembers I only love his coffee and he even made it for me. Why is he so confusing?!

I washed my face, made myself presentable, and decided to act the same way he was acting, if he had moved on then I can't create anymore problems in his life. I'll keep it professional, get the work done and then never come in his life again. I walked back to the table and sat down.

N: Apologies Mr Goenka, I was a little tensed, but we can proceed with the meeting.
K: All good Ms Singhania, so I believe my PA had already discussed everything with your team, and there were no changes to be made in the contract, right?
N: Yes, in fact I have had a look again, and all is well, we can get it signed and get on with the work.
K: Sure, abb jitni jaldi hum contract sign karke kaam shuru kare, utna hi jaldi Mehra's ko apne clothes & jewellery mil jayenge.
N: Ji zaroor, I have signed it, aap bhi kar lijiye.

Kartik signed the contract papers and handed them to me.

K: Well, Ms Singhania--

He got a call, and the name 'Baby' started flashing on it, he excused me and picked up the call.

K: Hello... arre maine kaha tha na main pick up kar lunga... kya baby... acha tum ghar pe wait karna hum dono aaj tumhare favourite restaurant jayenge dinner ke liye ok... ha baba ice cream bhi... love you too baby.... bye.

Baby, I guessed it right, he had moved on, not only in his life but also in his love life. It really tore me apart, every word that he said to her, it hurt me, there was no doubt in the fact that I still loved him, I had never stopped loving him, yes I was angry, but the love was still there. I can't blame him, he had to move on, and maybe it was the best for everyone.

K: Sorry for that.
N: No issues, if I may ask, who was it?
K: My sister, well I have no biological relations with her, but maine usse ek baar bachaya tha, aur tab se voh mujhe rakhi bandhti hain, toh she is my sister.
N: Oh, sister.
K: Yeah, and if I may ask, why did you ask this?
N: No actually, umm... you said baby, so I thought... girlfriend... or wife...
K: Well, you thought wrong, I'm a one-woman man Ms Singhania, maine ek hi baar pyaar kiya hain, aur kabhi kisi se pyaar nahi kar paunga main and rahi baat baby ki, so she's quite younger than me, so I call her baby with love, like a nickname.

Now I started doubting myself, if I had ever loved him the way he loved and loves me. I keep repeating the fact that I love him, I feel him, but I don't, I doubted him again, I doubted that he moved on, I doubted that he doesn't love me anymore. I just don't deserve him.

K: Now back to business, kaal meeting rakhte hain designers ke team ke saath.
N: Umm yes sure, meri PA aapko inform kar degi baaki details ke baare mein.

He stood up and took his hand out, and I shaked hands with him.

K: Well, nice meeting you Ms Singhania.
N: You too Mr Goenka
K: Bye
N: Bye

It was proved that he still loves him, and I do too, but will our love meet... and if we do... will our love succeed this time. I didn't know what will happen in the future, but I knew that whatever happens, I love him and I will never stop loving him.
