Chapter 6

It had almost been two weeks since Samaira and Naksh have started dating. 

Naksh smiled and touched his chest where her freshly tattooed name was.

Yes, he had put her name on his heart. 

A week back Naksh went to meet Samaira and she smiled widely as she got up to give him a hug. He had just come from the tattoo parlour. She smiled and kept her hands over his chest and he hissed a little at the contact.

She got scared and looked at him.

"Kya hua?"

(What happened?)

"Kuch nhi."

(Nothing.)

"You hissed Naksh. Kya baat hai. Kahi lagi hai kya."

(What is it. Are you hurt.)

He shook his head and showed her the cause of him hissing and she looked at him wide eyed. 

"Naksh ye?"

(Naksh this?)

He smiled and said.

"Apne dil par aapka naam likh kar aapke hawale kar diya hai. Dhyaan rakhiyega iska."

(I have surrendered my heart to you. Take care of it.)

He said nuzzling his nose with hers and she hugged him to hide the happy tears that formed in her eyes.

Naksh was sitting in his room and thinking about all the moments he spent with Samaira when Mahir came in.

"Kya hua kiske khayalon mai khoye hai janab?"

(What happened where are you lost?)

Naksh smiled and Mahir was taken aback that he did not reprimand him this time.

Naksh showed him the tattoo and Mahir kept his hand over his mouth giving a loud gasp.

"Fuck! Really!? Oh my God!"

He couldn't believe the 'I will never lose' Naksh Khurana had lost his heart to someone.

"Congratulations bro! Kab introduce krwa raha hai officially?"

(When are you introducing officially?)

Naksh's smile fell as he remembered it.

"Not before i tell her the truth."

"Bhai are you sure? You could lose her forever."

"Jooth bolke mujhe koi aur rishta nhi banana Mahir. I will tell her the truth and baaki decision uska hoga."

(I don't want to make any relationship based on lies. It will be her decision.(

"I wish everything goes fine bhai."

"Me too Mahir. Me too."

He mumbled.

**************************************

The next day he called Samaira to meet him at his home. His parents were out of town due to some wedding so he found the perfect opportunity to tell her the truth.

He heard the doorbell ring and she entered with a smile.

"Wow! I didn't know you are so rich. No offense though."

She joked and he smiled lightly.

"None taken."

She hugged him and kissed his lips softly. She was about to pull back when he pulled her closer and kissed her like he was kissing her for the last time.

They pulled back and joined their foreheads. 

"I love you."

Samaira whispered after some time and Naksh held her tightly and his throat clogged due to guilt.

"Kuch baat karni hai."

(I wanted to talk about something.)

She hummed and he made her sit on the sofa and sat in front of her on his knees. His eyes clouded with guilt.

She cupped his face and asked.

"Kya hua? You look scared."

(What happened?)

He gulped and said.

"Maine tumse jooth bola tha."

(I lied to you.)

He started and she frowned.

"Kis baare mai?"

(About what?)

"That i work in an MNC."

She frowned again and he continued.

"I am the CEO of Developers Thrill. Mahir Khurana mera chhota bhai hai."

(Mahir Khurana is my younger brother.)

Samaira took a whole 15 seconds to process the information before she spoke.

"What!?"

He nodded and pointed behind her. She turned around and noticed the huge frame behind her for the first time. It was their family picture.

She gasped as she realised that he was the person she had been idolising all the while.

"Oh my God! Aap- aap mere idol hai? Mai apne idol ko date kar rhi thi? Shit!"

(You-you ar emy idol? I have been dating my idol?)

She giggled and he smiled sadly. She noticed the sadness in his eyes and her smile fell.

"Kya hua?"

(What happened?)

"I lied to you Samaira."

She smiled and cupped his face.

"Its ok. I understand you did not want to disclose your identity."

He shook his head and clutched her hands.

"You remember the first time we met?"

"Haan. Orphanage mai."

(Yes. In the orphanage.)

He nodded and said.

"Wo koi coincidence nhi tha. It was all planned."

(It was not coincidence.)

Samaira frowned and asked.

"Kya?"

(What?)

"Haan. It was all planned. Mera tumse uss orphanage mai milna, phir tumhare office mai and then getting to know how you work."

(Yes. Me meeting you in the orphanage, then coming to your office)

She looked at him to know whether he was joking but it didn't seem like he was.

"Par kyu?"

(But why?)

She whispered and Naksh lowered his eyes with guilt and hatred for himself.

"Apni ego ke aage pagal ho gaya tha mai. When Mahir told me about you i got very angry. Bhoot sawar tha mere sarr par ki tumhe kabhi height par nhi pahuchne dunga. Wanted to know your secrets and then leave you destroyed."

(I had gone mad in front of my ego. I was mad about not letting you win.)

Samaira looked at him with an unreadable expression. She was trying to process what he was saying.

"Tumse mil kar, dosti kar ke, saare secrets nikalwana chahta tha. Ye realise hi nhi kia ki kitna hurt karunga tumhe in sab mai."

(Meeting you, being your friend, i wanted to know your secrets. I never realised how much i would hurt you in all this.)

She pulled her hands out of his grip and he looked at her.

"It was all a lie."

She whispered brokenly.

He shook his head and was about to say something but she spoke.

"Pichla jitna bhi time humne saath spend kia. It was all a lie. Sab jooth tha. Aapka game tha. A plan. A fucking plan."

(All the time we spent together. All a lie. Your game.)

He shook his head trying to control his tears.

"Wo smiles, wo sweet behaviour, those moments, the hugs, the kisses, the stupid love confessions, all of it was a lie."

"Nhi Samaira meri baat suno-"

(No Samaira listen to me-)

"Kya sunu? Sunne ko reh kya gaya Naksh?"

(What should i listen? What is left to be heard Naksh?)

She said as her eyes teared up. He opened his mouth to say something but she cut him off again.

"This was the reason you never said 'I love you' right? It was always me. Mai pagalo ki tarah ye sochti  rahi ki you love me but it was all a fucking game for you."

(I continued to think that you love me.)

She shouted and pushed him away as he tried to come near her.

"Don't! Don't touch me!"

"Please Samaira! Ek baat meri baat sunlo. I agree it was all fake in the beginning. But wo confession kabhi fake nhi thi. The moments we spent were not fake, the hugs were not fake, the kisses were not fake. My love for you is not fake."

(Just listen to me once. That confession was never fake.)

He was whispering by the end of it. Samaira wanted to believe him but did not want to risk breaking her heart again.

"Kaise? Kaise yakeen karu mai? Kaise yakeen karu ki apa sach keh rhe hai. Kaise yakeen karu ki iss baar ye joot nhi hai? Planned nhi hai?"

(How? How should i trust you? How should i believe you are saying the truth. How should i believe its not a lie? Its not planned?)

Naksh didn't have any reply. He just held her hands and whispered with tears flowing down his eyes.

"Please! I am sorry! I promise mai jooth nhi bol rha. Please just give me one more chance. Please!"

(I promise i am not lying.)

He said but she pulled her hands back as she wiped her tears.

"Its over Naksh. I can't do this all over again."

"Samaira nhi. Please! Please don't go!"

(Samaira no.)

He pleaded and went after her as she rushed out of his house. She sat in her car and drove off leaving him standing on his porch.
