Naira's POV-
Kartik was the best thing that ever happened to me in my life. My birthday and things between us eventually started changing, that discomfort and awkwardness we felt with each other initially slowly started eloping in the comfort of the beautiful relation of our friendship. Thanks to the situations that they never turned awkward for us. Our families would make sure not to interfere in us and slowly Everyday turned out to be better than the previous one. The newly formed friendship between us bloomed. We laughed together, we shared things, we discussed about our day, we discussed about our likes dislikes and ofcourse like friends we went for movie nights and then dinners and those walks along the beach when we would feel like just spending some friends time. For the world we were named as husband and wife but actually he had become my best friend. I was me around him, a free soul who would show him tantrums, get angry at him, care about him, laugh with her and tell him all I felt. And it even felt more nice when he just reciprocated the similar actions. We were best friends or maybe more than that?
Well, we had never really thought of each other that way until those days... When it actually came to our acknowledgement that maybe... maybe we were more than just being friends... that maybe the strings of our heart had tangled in a way to lead us to an even more beautiful path.
It happened so..... "Kittu Naira jiji ki poti Smaira ki Shaadi ki tarikh pkki hogyi hai... Destination wedding hai prr hm sb log to kaam k vjhse saare functions attend nhi krr payenge... To tum dono pehle chle jao... Hm log baad mein aajayenge.. aur fr tum dono jaoge to vhaan bhi shaadi k kaamo mein help hojayegi.." Dadi asked us to attend a wedding. The moment she told us I got excited. Well, I was always fond of destination weddings and Smaira, she had come here for a few days and I got to know her well plus masi dadi is so sweet, so I was just as excited.
"Kartik, wow.... Destination wedding, I always dreamt of one. Comeon let's go for shopping, I mean we need the relevant outfits for all the occasions and jewellery as well. Shit there's soo much to do and I don't even have anything to just look at my face, it looks dull... Huh...Achi bhi to dikhna hai....Kartik tum vhaan kyun khde ho.... Shopping janaa hai jaake gaadi to start Krro hmare pass sirf aaj Ka din hai kal to Delhi janaa hai... Aur fr...." I almost jumped over him as soon as dadi left our room and like all other times he stood quite looking at me with a confused face. "Kartik... Tum sun rhe ho main kya keh rhi hun" "Sun to rha Hun actually, prr smjh Kuch Nhi aarha, thoda apni rajdhani express pe break lgaogi plzz..." "Kartik.." I hit him for teasing me. "Aree Baba... Maar kyun rhi ho.." He said holding my hand. "Kyunki tum meri baat nhi sun rhe...Kartik kal janaa hai and abhi kitni tyaari krni hai" "Aree Haan to usmein kya hai... Krr lenge tyaari.. shopping pe chlenge abhi aur fr lunch bhi bahr hi krr lenge and then aake packing krr lenge...tum ek kaam krro ready hojao.. tb tk main tickets book krr leta hun flight ki..." "Tumhe ready nhi Hona..." "Arre Mera kya hai main to do minute mein ready ho jaata Hun.." "haha... Rehne do tum to.... Adha adha ghnta sheshe k saamne khde reh k apne ye chaar Baal hi swaarte rehte ho.. main to do minute ready hojata Hun.." I mimicked him. "Kya Bola Tumne... Chaar Baal.. itne saare Baal Hain mere.. aur adha ghnta to koi nhi lgata main.. tum ho Jo chaar chaar ghnte mirror k aagi khdi rehti ho.... Smjhi.." He pressed my nose with his finger. I made an annoyed face. "Acha ji.. rehne hi do tum to.. aaj dekh Lete Hain kaun Kitne time mein ready hota hai.. jao futo mere aage se.. Mujhe ready Hona hai Jldi se" I pushed him to a side and went to get ready. "Sherni hai puri" I heard him whisper in an almost inaudible tone only to smile and roll my head. "Mendak" I shouted and walked from there.

Kartik's POV-
"Kartik dekho abhi tum jaldi se ready hojao bhut kaam hai.." She came out of the dressing room wearing a simple top with a pair of jeans, open hair that looked beautiful as ever. I don't know what lead me to thinking about a month back when we first became friends on her birthday. Since that day, our bond just grew stronger, we were best friends, Always had each others' back. I could be soo free around her, from the lamest joke to the most serious talk, I always had her as a companion. The thought of a life without her stopped crossing my mind. She had slowly become my everything, she is my everything, because we shared the purest of all relationships~ friendship. That morning when dadi came to tell about going to the wedding she almost jumped on me in excitement. "Kartik Kartik Kartik..." She began her banter giving me no time to register her actions and therefore I stood before her with a confused face at the same time suppressing my laughter on her actions. Taking her to shopping was even more exciting. It was usually me who selected dresses for her and to my great astonishment she would take them and love them without crying about them. I mean in all other situations she would never listen to me but when I chose a dress for her she would look at it in a way as if she had seen the world's most beautiful dress. And same was my situation actually. I would stand there confused what to buy and what not to buy and then she would come from back holding something for me which I would love like anything. I would actually wonder that a guy like me who knew nothing about girly clothes would buy something for her which she always liked at the first instance. With a lot of nok jhok as soon as we finished shopping our stomachs growled. After such tiring work we were obviously hungry and I laughed at the way she dragged me in holding my hand as soon as she saw dominos. "Arre smbhal k sherni, girr jaogi" I laughed as we took a seat at a corner side by side and ordered our favourite pizza.
"Ye dekho...hmesha ki trh frse pizza sauce lga liya face pe.. ruko let me clean it" I said to her and tilted my head forward to clean her face. My finger caressed the corner of her lip and suddenly when my eyes met hers it stopped there itself. We were this close, her hot breaths faming on my face as those innocent eyes pulled me towards them. I don't know I suddenly started adoring her. "Hogya kya.." She asked after a minute raising her eyebrows. "Haan... Kya.." I stated coming out of the trance. "Kya hua khaan kho gye" She asked. "Kuch Nhi hogya Haan.. tumahra face clean." She nodded her head and continued eating her pizza. I slapped my head smiling at her.

Naira's POV-
The next morning as I opened my eyes I realized we had to go to Delhi that day and as i realized this, I moved my head to the other side to see him still sleeping. "Kartik utho.." I started literally jumping over him. "Kartik utho.." I pushed him holding his t-shirt leaning to his back. "Uth jao hmari flight hai hme janaa hai...wake up Kartik.." "kya hai sone do na naira.." he stated in a half sleepy tone. "Kya hai sone do na naira... Aajao tum bhi sojao" He said pulling me towards him and accidentally my lips brushed his neck. My breath hitched. I mean it was an entirely different sensation I felt on lips as they touched his neck. My face still in the crook of his neck as my fingers caressed my lips. I titled my head up to look at him, he was still sleeping. I just untangled myself from him making sure not to disturb his sleep and got off the bed running to get ready. I didn't want to think about this.

Kartik's POV-
I was sleeping when I heard her voice trying to wake me up. I was soo damn lazy and sleepy to wake up that I pulled her in hug making her lips accidently brush my neck. A sudden shiver ran down me, my sleep went away immediately but I refrained myself from opening my eyes assuming she might have felt awkward. It was actually an intimate moment between the two of us. I mean we used to hug, we used to sit together, share the same bed but everything was as friends. That thin line we had made between us which we never crossed and now this accidental moment inculcated some exquisite feelings in me or maybe both of us.
Neither of us spoke about it to each other. For the first time we actually avoided an exchange of look. I thought she might be feeling awkward, I wasn't. I mean I liked it. I caressed the spot as I look into the mirror as a part of reflex action by my hands. But why did it affect soo much!! I mean it just a mere accidental touch of lips!!!

They say the best relationships start off as friendships first. Well it's true!! But what if the situation arises when it's soo hard to pretend to be just friends with that someone special , when everytime you look at that person, all you see is everything you want to have.
The falling in love phase had just begun for Kaira.
