Summary: What if naira is sick barf this is what i assume the story is going for so i wrote a little piece
Tell me you don't love me.' His voice was hard, the dark seething anger in his eyes scared her. Look me straight in the face and tell me you don't love me.'
Kartik ...' She turned away, but he moved swiftly, swinging her round with a sharpness that indicated he wasn't quite so in control of his feelings as he would have her believe.
Tell me.' His eyes were depthless. And I'll get out of your life once and for all. That's a promise.'
His handsome face was so close she could barely think straight. It brought home to her how fragile and transient life was. Kartik was twenty-eight years old, a strong, virile man in the prime of life looking forward to having a family with a young healthy wife. And it couldn't be. Not with her. She bit her lip hard. This way she was giving him a second chance. He had nothing if she stayed with him.
Naira?' He hadn't moved a muscle and even the air around them was heavy with expectation.
Kartik, I don't ...' Her voice faltered at the steel in his eyes but she swallowed tightly as she clenched her hands into tight fists, her knuckles white. Her whole body was trembling but maybe he hadn't noticed? She dropped her eyes from his as she ground out the words. I don't love you.'
Not good enough,' he said steadily. I said you have to look me in the face.'
He had no idea what he was doing to her, she thought desperately. Why had this had to happen to them? It wasn't fair, none of this was fair! She couldn't bear it, she couldn't ... She raised her eyes and stared blindly into the blur of his face. I don't love you.'
The silence was very complete and then, through the pounding in her ears, she heard him breathe out slowly.
Is that the best you can do?'
It wasn't the response she had expected, and as her vision cleared she saw his face was carefully blank, his eyes hooded and empty. As she stood in front of him, swaying slightly, she felt for a moment he was looking into her soul. I don't understand?'
You and me both.' There was a twist to his mouth that made her want to reach out a hand and smooth the firm lips into a smile.
I told you.' She lowered her head to stare at a tiny white-petalled daisy lying crushed at her feet. You said you would leave if I told you, and I did.'
You didn't convince me.' She brought her head up sharply to stare into the handsome cold face.
That wasn't the bargain,' she said hotly, whether you believed me or not. You said you would go'
So, I lied.' His voice was cool and assured and quite unrepentant.
This isn't fair, Kartik'
Life is not fair Naira' He said to her, with a humourless smile. Naira looked at the ground a little away from him, he had no idea how right he was. Her chest hurt so badly she could barely stand there in front of him. But she would. If he hated her it would make things easier for him. She would ensure he got a new beginning before her end.
Then end...
