"Naira He called out her name. She turned and saw him on his knees, looking incredibly pale. His chest heaving.
"Kartik what's wrong? She asked him to rush to his side.
"I can't breathe He said...
"Wait I will get help... She said trying to move away, his arm snaked around her waist.
"Don't leave me, please He said holding her against him.
"Kartik this all gives me de ja vu of your boogeyman
"I borrowed her panic attacks because the drinking was just bad for my livers, fake panic attacks are healthier He told her.
"Ahh clever Naira replied, slowly pulling away from him.
"I thought the drinking would work, and make you want to come back to fix me...but it didn't so I am trying this He said proudly.
"And if this doesn't work? She asked him with a raised brow.
"I will pay some goons to bury me in snow again and kidnap the singhanias this time He said with a lazy smile.
"What you paid goons to kidnap you? And the ashram kids? double clever idea so my family will all like you again when you save them
"Yeah, I wanted to teach you a lesson I knew my near death would only teach you. We save them, we have to show equality...Social message social message. BTW I sent people to rob you as well, so you would realize how much you need me in your life He admitted.
"What else have you done? Naira asked him.
"Told Keerti to message you so Kunal would see the message but rather than him not wanting you coz you were married he just seemed to want to dance more with you, I asked keerti to dress us up in sholay outfits, so that mr pinto would hint we do something together...I mean how can we have a function without us doing something together?
"You are insane
"You have no idea, I also asked those seniors to make you propose to me, why would they just randomly have roses, then I ensured that spew-warna sees only pics of your building, so I could stay near you. Ensure everyone saw me sleeping over, and everyone in collage thought we were a couple, by following you around and starring at you...so nobody else would look at you...tried to make you jealous with aashi by showing you her mehendi, hugging her 30 times a day...stomached her bad jokes all to get your attention, hand delivered every shagun to your house, just to arrive early put oil on the floor dish soap so you trip on me
"Now it all makes sense
