Introduction to their lives!

Author's pov!!

Kartik and Naira,Albeit husband and wife but they never behaved like one. It's been 6 months of their marriage but they have never properly talked to each other, never discussed anything. Good Morning and good night are the only words they speak to each other in whole day.

No,They don't hate each other, don't have any grudges. It's just that they are busy with their professional life so much that they never thought of these things.

Kartik being an engineer and Naira being a doctor are so passionate about their work, that they live with eachother under same roof but never tried to find out the likes and dislikes of each other.

Obviously,they had an arrange marriage but Naira was in the adjacent college that of Kartik's. So Kartik has seen her one time but Naira never saw him before Marriage.

They both were nerd,their behaviour itself tells that.

Let's see how love will find them,how they will be bound by the string of love or  are they already...Just left to realise?

To know that scroll down!!

Night

A boy dressed in an office suit and an office bag in his hands came out from a car and at the same time,a girl dressed in check shirt and skirt, Stethoscope around her neck came out from the another car. They turned their face to eachother's side and smiled slightly.

They both took step together in their house but accidentally their upper arms brushed. Both felt a tingling sensation but they just simply ignored it.

They freshened up and lied Down next to each other,Backfacing each other. They were in their own world thinking about their projects and the surgeries. Both were so busy with their thoughts that in 6months,they never realised that they are not the only one in bed ...that they share a bed with somebody.

Both drifted to sleep while thinking about their work.

They say that every morning brings something new .. let's see what this morning has in Store for them.

****🤵👩‍⚕️****

Morning

Naira woke up, started preparing coffee for herself.

"Good morning" she jumped at the voice,and turned to see the source of that voice. After composing herself,she greeted him too.

"One for me, please" Kartik requested

"Huh" Naira didn't get.

"Umm... Coffee"

"Oh..Yeah sure" she said and again busied herself with making coffee.

After making coffee,she poured them in cups and offered Kartik.

"Umm,Tum aaj office nhi jaa rhe?" She asked eying the wall clock.

"Wo, actually.. I have taken a break..6 mahine se continuously ek project pr lga hua tha... finally khatm ho gya h...mujhe break ki need lgi ..so I took it"

Naira looked at him shocked,"even I am taking a break"

"What?"

"Yeah,bahut busy thi m bhi 6 months se,bahut kuch nhi kr paa rahi thi.. So I took break for sometime."

They became mum after realising that they first time talked more than greetings.

"Great!" Kartik replied after sometime.

"Hmm"

They both took the phone and started using. They were sitting with each other  but they were far away from each other.

"Shit!" Kartik exclaimed.

"What happened?"

"Wo phone dead ho gya h..and I realised ki m charger to office m chodkr aa gya" He explained worried.

It was useless to say for Naira that use mine because she already knew that their phone chargers are different. Her charger can't charge Kartik's phone.

"Please ek baar apna phone dena" he requested.

She straight away gave him.

He rang his colleague and requested him to bring the charger to his home when he would be free from his work.(i.e. at night) as his friend lives nearby.

Kartik gave Naira's phone back to her.
And sat in front of T.V. and started flipping through channels.

It seems God doesn't want him to relax.. He thought.

Nothing interesting was coming on T.V... Kartik switched off the T.V. frustrated.

Naira was looking at him through corner of her eyes. She knew that he was frustrated.

"One more Coffee?" She asked.

"Nope" Kartik said. And then looked At her.

He noticed her wearing blue colour saree. Blue is his favourite colour. But Naira doesn't know. Kartik loves sarees on Naira. Ofcourse,Naira is unaware of that. He never appreciated  for her looks .or for anything.

Kartik realised that it's been 6 months .damn 6months to their marriage.

They don't know anything about each other. Nothing.

"Can You please accompany me?I am bored" he asked her genuinely.

Naira was speechless,she doesn't know what to say.

They were like a stranger to eachother.

"Ohk"she said after sometime.

They both started to know eachother. They talked about their professions. Both were hesitant in the beginning but soon they were comfortable.

"She is such a child at heart." He thought listening to her talks. Yes!! From a long time.. Naira is blabbering about something and he is just dreamily thinking about her."

"Kartik,were You listening?I am asking You a question from a long time..and you are just smiling."

Kartik came out of his trance.

"Haan bolo Naira"

"Umm..mai keh rhi thi ki"she hesitated.

"Bolo Naira,bina jhijhak k bolo"

"Hum pakdam pakdai khele?"she asked like a little child.

Kartik started laughing.

"Pakdam...pakdai...Are You serious Naira?"

"Mat khelo..pr aise haso mat.."she said feeling offended. stood up. Started moving.

Kartik held her wrist.

"I am sorry..chalo khelte h"

Naira was still angry.

"Please Naira,I am sorry.. please khelte h." He requested. He didn't like her being angry with him.

"Okay"Naira said.

"To pehle Tum pakdoge,ok?"

"Ok"Kartik said like an obedient child.

"1..2...3........10" he counted and ran behind her.

It was hard to catch her.

"Pakad liya"he said.

Kartik caught hold of her wrist,slid his hand around her bare waist..and lifted her off the ground ..both giggled..just after few seconds..Naira saw Kartik's hand on her bare waist..her breath quickened...he was never this close to her..she closed her eyes feeling his touch on her waist..he was backhugging her

Soon Kartik realised their positions and let go of her..

"Ab tumhari baari"Kartik said changing the topic. Naira nodded still in daze.

"1...2...3........10"she counted and ran behind him. It was hard for her as she was wearing saree but she still managed to run.

She failed many times. Kartik was gasping for breath. Naira took that chance and ran to him to catch him.

She collapsed with him and they both fell on the sofa which was behind Kartik.

Naira was on top..and Kartik was beneath her.

"It happened because of inertia of motion ..."he said sighing.

His eyes met hers and they were lost in eachother's eyes. Kartik's hand made its way towards her face. He stroked her cheeks with his thumb not breaking the eye-contact. Both wanted to reduce the distance between them..

Their heart was beating in sync.
"Tum iss saree m bahut sundar lg rhi ho.. he said.. tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear."

Naira's heart fluttered when he complemented her. She lost herself when he stroked her cheeks.

This feeling was new to both of them. Kartik inches more closer to her face,even she was not complaining. Both wanted to feel each other.

"You know mera dil tumhe dekhkar bahut tez dhak dhak krne lgta h" he said kissing her forehead.

Naira was in daze but still words slip out of her mouth"that's lub dub"

"Kya?" He said kissing her right cheek.

"The sound of. .heart is lub dub not dhak dhak"she managed to say.."

Kartik looked at her amused

"Lub dub?"she nodded.

"Lub" he said and took her upper lips in his mouth. Sucked it. Feel it and then left it.

"Dub"he whispered and did the same with her lower lips.

Naira's hand flew around his neck and she pulled him closer.

He crashed his lips with her... Both were feeling each other, tasting each other.. conveying the new and unknown emotions in that kiss.

Kartik stood up and picked her in bridal style took her to their room. He laid her on bed and then came on top of her. Naira closed her eyes anticipating his next move. But Kartik kissed her forehead.

"Can I request You something?"he asked. She blinked saying yes.

"Mujhse baat krogi..in 6 mahino ka jo time humne khoya h..we can't bring it back .but we won't waste this time." Naira smiled and kissed him on his forehead but soon realised and blushed hard.

He made her face him. They talked about every small small thing happened in their life. Their opinion.. Their dreams.

Kartik adored her. He still remembers that day when he first saw her. When he bunked a class and went out of the college. He saw her sitted with a girl of same age who was crying profusely. He saw Naira explaining the girl who just had a break up not to cry,to build her career,to make her parents proud. She did nothing special but stole Kartik's 💓 heart ..by her simplicity.by her intelligence.he was attracted to her at that time but just ignored the feeling but today he realised and fell for her more.

Naira's condition was no less. He was the same which she thought of her life partner. Although,they never talked to each other,be with each other..but still he supported her...he respected her profession..he never forced her to do any chores..his small small gestures touched her heart. She fell for him .. everytime when she saw him smiling at her.

Their eyes conveyed which was in their hearts for long. That they love each other♥️..

And finally they became Docneers(doctor+engineer) to lovers.❤️..
