His brows frowned when Kunal saw Naina laughing with a man around her age
"Who is the man?" He muttered under his breath
He hesitated to step out of the car as he never come to her work place since their marriage he opened the door and took steps towards naina and the man, the bouquet of Lily still in the passenger seat.
Naina was unaware of his presence but the man noticed and nudged her elbow naina's laugh died in her throat as she saw kunal.
The lighted eyes earlier replaced by hollow kunal noticed the change and stopped on his tracks
So, he is your husband?" The man asked with a smile
And Naina noticed with forced smile. "Yes...he..is..my husband."
"Hello," the man extended his han. "I am Prem."
Kunal." Kunal shok prem's hand
I am naina's college friend, Prem said looking at her then kunal. " I am sorry for not coming on your wedding, I was out of the country." Prem apologized sincerely.
"Oh..god your saying sorry since you came here enough now." Naina rolled her eyes.
Prem chuckled softly and pushed naina's shoulder playfully
You're staying far away from your wife kunal." Prem teased when he noticed how far Kunal is standing from her.
Kunal and naina look at each other briefly before looking away her nose turning into Rosy pink
Kunal stood there looking at naina and prem's playfulness.
"Let's go home." Naina looked at Prem. " I'll make your favourite cold coffee."
"Huh... I'll come next time for coffee." Prem said
"I didn't ask you prem." Naina pulled Prem towards the car. " I am telling you." Prem laughed out and let naina pull him.
"I will come home in prem's car as he doesn't know about the house address." Naina said over her shoulder to kunal
Kunal nodded in response and looked at the way Prem waited for naina if she's coming or not the way he was opening car door for her the very simple things he never did for her.
As naina got in the car Prem started the car leaving kunal standing there alone. Naina didn't look back not until his figure got smaller in the car's side mirror.
Kunal got in his car and drove behind prem's car, after an half in hours
both car stopped in front of the house prem stepped out of the car and walked around to open naina's car door.
"You don't have to." Naina close the car door behind her. " I can do it myself."
"I just opened the door, it's not a big deal." Prem shrugged off
Naina Sighed softly and gestured to prem towards the main door
Kunal followed behind them his eyes fixed on naina and prem, the bouquet of Lily was still on the passenger seat untouched
As Naina and prem settled in the living room couch,maid brought water for them.
"So how's your married life going." Prem asked taking a sip of water.
It's good." Naina replied faintly
As they both talked for a while and kunal came after getting fresh and sat down there replying a questions answer whenever prem asked him. then naina went in kitchen to make coffee for Prem.
"So kunal," prem turned to him
Are you taking a good care of my friend or not?" Prem asked teasingly yet there was edge of seriousness.
Kunal blinked at his question care? How can he take care of her when he is behaving distant towards her since their marriage.
Before kunal could say anything naina came with two cup of coffee
She gave to prem who took it with smile, she turned to kunal and put the cup of coffee infront of him.
God...i missed your cold coffee." Prem's voice appreciated it.
Naina smiled. " I am glad you still like."
Obviously I like it." Prem said taking another sip of coffee, he turned to kunal. " You definitely loved your wife's coffee right?"
Kunal stared at Prem's sudden question naina looked down at her lap.
Ye.. Yes." He lied taking sip of his own coffee, he never drink coffee made by naina's hands it's not like she never made by him but he ignored.
"My coffee..." Kunal lean to asked her. " I didn't make it, your coffee was made by the maid." Naina whispered back. He nodded in response
A while later prem left naina was standing by the window of guest room lost in her thoughts when a knock broke her thoughts chain.
Come in." She didn't turn around her eyes out of the window.
The door creaked open kunal stepped in closing the door, he was holding the bought lily behind him.
"You don't have to stay in guest room." His voice came baarly whispered.
"I want to stay here." She sniffed her eyes were watery without even turning around, kunal hesitated briefly before pulling the bouquet of Lily front of him to give her the second the flowers smell get into her nose.
her throat felt tight she blinked and turned around. Her breath hitched when she saw Lily bought in his hand she stumbled back shaking her head.
Kunal eyes frowned at her sudden change in behaviour.
He took steps forward, naina started sneezing frequently.
St... stop the...there." she breathed between sneezing
He stopped dead in his spot the lily still in his hand. " What happened?"
Throw those flowers." She stumbled back her breath uneven
Kunal looked down at the flowers and then naina's condition he threw the bouquet of flowers out of the widow when realisation finally hit him.
"Shit....shit.. shit" he cursed under his breath and reached towards her but she took steps back.
I am very sorry." He apologized. " I really didn't know about this."
He pulled out his phone and dialed his family doctor's number. Naina leaned against the near wala her chest heavy struggling for air as her nose blocked.
Kunal told doctor come when he picked up the call before stepping close to reach her but she shook her head. " Do... don't touch me." Her voice broke slightly. Her body slid down on the Wall sat down on the floor.
Panic flashed in his eyes as he noticed her teary eyes, uneven breath, the voice break.
He yelled to call maid in seconds the maid rushed over her breath caught in her throat when she looked at naina's condition, behind maid urgent footsteps approached the doctor stepped in the room and pushed Kunal aside to treat naina.
Kunal stumbled back from the doctor push's but his eyes fixed on Nain's trembling body and shaky breath, his fist tightened.
