Accident

Kiara

I was running down the stairs when my grandmother noticed it and shook her head.

"She is going to get married in one week but she is still acting like a kid" I pouted when I heard those words. I don't want to change myself just because I am getting married. I want to live my life and I will surely live like that.

In fact this is not the first time when she is talking like this about me. My grandmother is a narrow minded woman and that irritates me most of the time because whenever she opens her mouth for me, it sounds more like a taunt and also sounds like she doesn't like me at all. Sometimes I want to give the reply of her taunts but my mother's words always make me stop from doing that and now see, she always taunts me about everything, every minor thing.

"Ma, she is still a kid and she is getting married in one week. Let her do whatever she wants to and when she will go there she will behave well over there and will become mature as well. So don't worry." My mother chirruped in and I could understand what she was trying to do. I wanted to say that you should leave her because she won't understand that as her old mind is getting weaker to gain new information. But that thought was conserved in my heart only.

My dear grandmother looked at me with the corner of her eyes and with a rude face she looked over my mom.

"I hope what you are saying is true, daughter." I really wish that Sid Bhai will be over here. He would have saved me right away. One thing that I am sure about is that she doesn't like me at all and wants me to send off soon. That is why she had set up my wedding earlier than my brother who is already 27 and here I am only 22.

I feel that this is unfair but who will be willing to listen to me on this when she is the lady boss of the house.

"Grandma, when will my brother get married?" I asked her in a mocking sweet voice and I think she got it.

"He still has time to get married." She replied in the same tone and I was angry at that and I think mom had seen it already. She is well aware that I have got my father tempers which is short temper.

"Kiara we are looking for a girl and soon he will also get married." I gulped down my anger and went outside. I know she is just covering her words with a sweet coat and She was successful in calming down my nerves which were burning inside me.

One week, I would no longer miss but mrs. Sometimes I am also confused because of the person with whom I am getting married. It is not like, I don't like him, I like him but the very next moment I feel like that this is just an arrangement which creates an uncomfortable feeling inside me.

Many days I had the thought of canceling. I have a feeling that I should cancel this marriage because I don't feel anything related to this relationship. In shorter words, there are no feelings. Right now, I want to go away and think about this carefully because after I get married then I can't change things at all. But I am only having one week and if I try to call it off, I would be blamed for losing the family's pride that also makes me step back on my thoughts.

"Kiara, are you going somewhere?" I looked at my mother after I got off from my thoughts and nodded.

"I'll come back before the sun sets."

"Alright, be careful on your way." She said and I came out from there.

I started to walk away towards my favorite cafe but before I could enter the cafe, I found a person who was looking way too confused and was sitting on the cafe's table which was placed outside. And I am guessing he is not also aware of his surroundings. Suddenly he stood up and started to go away from there. I also didn't think about him further and was about to enter when I heard a car honk and I looked back and found that a car was coming in his way and he wasn't even getting away from there. I quickly went towards him and took him away from there and saved him and the car moved away but I think he also cursed.

I wanted to shout at the person because that person was driving mindlessly. Can't he slow down? But the person who was in front of the car, isn't also innocent. He should have moved away from there. I looked over at the person, He was looking at me with confused eyes.

I sighed, I don't think that I can say anything to him.

"Are you okay?" I asked him and he nodded. "I am glad to know that." I smiled and he was still confused.

"Do I know you?" He asked me and I looked at him with confusion. We had never met then how we know each other? I wanted to ask him why he feels that he knows me.

"Veer, You are over here and I was looking for you everywhere." I looked over the person whose name is Veer that I got to know now and he looked confused and I think that he doesn't know her. I looked at the girl who was appearing, who somewhat looked like him, and anybody could tell that they both are siblings and I guess that she is older because of her facial features.

"Veer, we should go now."

"I don't want to go now." He protested like a little boy.

"I think I should leave now." I said and went away from there and I went inside the café and ordered my favorite drink. I drank my favorite coffee and then I went to the park and started to walk around and let myself feel the nature around me. I was tired after walking for a long time. I sat on the bench and checked my mobile and found the missed calls from my mother and brother but none of them from my father.

Doesn't he really want to know where I am? What have I done that he doesn't even want to meet me? For him only I have entered into this marriage thing and now he is the one who is ignoring me now. I feel that both my grandmother and father don't like me at all. They always make me feel that I am an outsider.

"Are you stressed about something?" I looked up and found Veer. What is he doing over here? I thought that he had gone home and I looked at the sky and found that it was already evening.

Was I thinking for so long?

"I am not."

"I wanted to say thank you to you."

"For what?"

"For saving my life." A smile appeared on my face.

"My name is Kiara Bhatia. What is yours?"

"My name is Veer Dubey, as they say." I was confused by his last three words. "So are you alone over here?"

"I am"

"I am sorry if this creeps you but I can't tell why but I am feeling that we have met before."

"But I can't remember meeting you at all." He didn't respond for few second

"Maybe then I have found someone who looks like you only. And that is quite unusual about it." He murmured the last part which was somewhat strange to hear.

"Could be possible. Would you like to go on a walk with me?"

"Though I have already walked around, this offer is appealing." I smiled and he also smiled. I looked at his beautiful face which was shining in the golden sun of the evening time. His brown hair was sparkling and his eyes were also shining and it was only making him look more handsome than he was.

Why can't my fiance be like that?

"Where are you lost?" He asked and I shook my head and he put his hand forward and I took it with a smile and then we started to walk.

"It is really nice to have a walk with someone rather than roaming around lonely." I looked at him. I can't really understand what he wants to say. I looked at our hands which were looking perfect while being entangled with each other . We don't know each other but I was really feeling that we do know each other but we met today. I want to know why I am feeling that I know him even though I had met him just today only. I feel comfortable around him.

"I wish this time would stop." I looked at him. I don't know what is going on inside his mind but I was feeling that he was referring to us. I don't know him but without doing anything I was smiling. I never felt this way when I was with Ranjeet. But with Veer everything is different. This might sound like I am a freak to feel something like this with the person whom I had just met but what can I do when I am feeling more comfortable with him than my fiance. He looked at me and smiled and I smiled back. But soon I felt some light on my face and I looked forward but wasn't able to see anything except the light which was way too bright. This bright light was making me blind and the next thing that I know is that I felt someone pulled me towards them.

"Everything will be fine" I heard his words and the next moment I heard a horn and realized that it was a car and then the other moment nothing else but got hit by it and then I closed my eyes with an unsure feeling which was if it was for forever or not.
