At Present:

As soon as he spotted the little troublemaker, his legs were rooted to the spot. The devil was enjoying the cool breeze with an ever so mesmerizing smile. She was sitting on the swing with closed eyes and listening to her favorite music. He thought "I must applaud her for her guts and look how innocent she is looking at this moment" Then he mentally slapped himself for praising his biggest enemy. Of course she wouldn't run away because she was a Sherni. Probably, Nope! Definitely she has been waiting here only for him to come and start up a fight against her. Getting out of his thoughts, Kartik walked up to her in quick strides. Within a blink of an eye, he pulled her towards him and twisted her left hand behind her back. Her earphones fell off her ears, but she didn't budge. A soft smile was playing on her lips as if she was expecting something like this. As soon as she opened her eyes, her mischievous brown orbs met with his blazing ones.

Her cool and composed demeanor made him lose the last ounce of patience that he was holding until now. He barked "why did you do this?" She answered with a very calm tone "Oh come on, as if you don't know. I just cleared the account." His facial expression changed instantly. He already knew what's coming next, but he asked further "Meaning?" Now the soft smile turned into an evil one "Because of you, I had to cut my hair. So you see payback time." He gave her a look that said you are impossible "Is that why you have burned my pants and embarrassed me in front of so many people? What if I ended up going outside? Only because of your stupid hair! What's the big difference anyways? A few inches of cut and they still look the same. You look the same PLAIN Sherni." This time she half yelled "Shut up. Just shut up! I had to cut 4 inches and it is all because of you. You know how much I love my hair? Only if you have told me earlier about the chewing gum, I wouldn't have to cut my hair. And however I look, I look way better than a Mendak like you." He just rolled his eyes after listening to her last sentence that said Yeah Right!

"Well I didn't do it purposely" he lied to her and shrugged his shoulder. She was extremely angry now and pushed him on his chest with her free hand. She poked on his chest with her index finger while speaking "You liar! Don't you have guts? I know you did it all to take revenge on me." This time he became angry too and spat back "Yes I did. So what of it? Even if the gum were to get stuck somewhere above on your hair, I wouldn't bother. Consider yourself lucky. Otherwise you would have been standing bald right at the moment." He smirked "You deserve what you got." And after a pause he added, "for messing up with Kartik Goenka". She smirked back with full tashan and gave it back to him "Then you also deserve the embarrassment that you have faced today. In fact you deserve much more for messing up with Naira Singhania."

While her eyes were full of venom, his eyes were shooting daggers at hers. Then she did something, which was least unexpected by him. She dug her long nails on his hand with which he was twisting her hand until now. He let out a painful scream and pushed her in attempt to free her hand from his clutch. He looked at his hand and what he saw made his eyes red in anger. She dug her all five nails on his hand. The hand turned red and in few places, he could also see the fresh blood that was oozing out now. He yelled "You wild cat, did you see what you did? Jungli Billi kahiki." She let out a sarcastic laugh and her voice had no remorse when she replied "This is for twisting my hand and hurting me until now." They glared at each other as both of their thoughts flew back to the time when it all had started - the revenge account between Mendak and Sherni.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In one scene, it can be seen that a little Naira is crying because after waking up from her sleep, she found half of her hairs were gone as in cut really short. And who did this? Of course, the great Kartik Goenka. In another scene, we can see a very young Kartik dancing like a maniac and taking off his clothes in front of all the Goenkas and Singhanias. So the end result is that he is standing almost naked in front of everyone for meddling with the great Naira Singhania. Well it was a very simple task; she just dropped some itching powder on his clothes while he was sleeping. So the magic had to happen.

Then we can see a little older Kartik destroying Naira's painting along with her painting supplies. So in return, Naira smudged all those destroyed colors on his face. After all Naira needed a canvas of her own and what else could have been better than Kartik Goenka's handsome face. Afterwards the poor guy had to work very hard to get rid off those various colors from his face.

Now a few years grown up Kartik made Naira fall off her bicycle, due to which she hurt her leg and was restricted from participating in her school's annual competition. Kartik, who attended the same school and was very excited to participate in the competition, later we see him running between the bathroom and bedroom for his life. Guess no need of explanation here.

These were some of the adventurous incidents of Kartik and Naira's lives since childhood. This revenge account never ceased to stop, but intensified as they both grew up with time.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kartik was the first one to snap out of his thoughts and advanced towards Naira in an attempt to punish her. As soon as Naira realized what is happening, she was on high alert and became ready with her personal weapon. The moment he approached her, she stomped his foot with the heel of her shoe that made him wince in pain. She told him with a warned tone "This is what you get for trying to touch me, you mannerless monster." Then seeing him in pain, she made fun of him by mimicking "Tar Tar Tar" and sticking her tongue at the end. Kartik saw red and he spoke with a dangerous tone "Now you have done it Sherni." He fast approached her forgetting his pain, but before he could lay his hands on her, she pushed him with all her might. He stumbled back a little, but soon enough composed himself. This time he pushed her, due to which she fell on the grass and landed on her butt. Forgetting the hurt that it has caused her, she got up immediately and ran to grab his collar, but he dodged her smartly. Now she was on the ground again. By an inch she didn't fell off on her face. Thanks to her hands, which she has used for support on time.

She got up with a new determination in her eyes and walked up to him. She stood in front of him and started him for a minute. He did the same. The next minute, she grabs his hairs and start pulling them with all her might. In his defense, he also pulls her by the hair. This is how their parents and family members found them. They let go of each other as they heard their fathers yelling from a distance, asking them to stop. They let go and were panting for breaths. Being tired, Naira turned to sit on the swing, but Kartik pushed her and she fell on the swing instead. She closed her eyes in frustration and stood up. Without giving him a chance to think, she gave him a hard push and he fell on his back this time.

Now Naira was on top of him, literally sitting on top. With her little fists, she kept on hitting him on his chest, face and every place that was possible. Without having any other choice, he kept on defending himself or making a futile attempt to stop her. Finally she grabbed his shirt's collar and was on the verge of ripping it off, when Naksh and Naitik came from behind and pulled her off of Kartik. He got up immediately and was ready to attack her again, but Manish was quick to act. He held him back just like they did to Naira. Both looked at each other with fire on their eyes. Their parents and other members shook their heads in disbelief looking at their conditions. Everything took place so quickly that no one could register what exactly had happened here minutes ago.

Once they were not in an attacking mood, Akshara spoke in a scolding tone "Is this how you behave, like 2 years old? You guys are no more kids that you are going to keep fighting like this. Kartik you just turned 17 and Naira you are about to soon! Where are your manners? When are you going to act like civilized grown ups?" Naitik spoke with disappointment "Princess I didn't expect this from you. Is this how you behave with your friend?" Naira hated when her father scolded her. She shoved off the tears that threatened to come out of her eyes anytime and objected, "This Mendak isn't my friend Papa. He is the one, who is at fault. He has started it." Kartik quickly defended him "No uncle. It's all, this Sherni's fault. She is the one, who has started it. She can never be my friend. In fact, we can never become friends". An annoyed Manish interrupted "Shut up you both. Look at you guys, complaining like school kids. And Kartik, you are the older one here. Be it few months from Naira, is this how you behave? Don't think we didn't notice how you pushed her". Kartik just bowed down his head in defeat because he knew he had let his father down.

Swarna sighed, "Here we were thinking to send you both abroad for your further studies. We thought if you go and study together..." Before Swarna could complete her sentence, Naira and Kartik yelled at the same time "No!" They glared at each other. Naira spoke first "Aunty, anywhere but with him". He also retorted "Wherever I go, I will go alone. She can go on her separate path". Manish and Naitik gave a dejected look to each other. Manish finally announced with a tone that said he isn't happy at all "Ok your wishes are granted. You both will go on your separate paths." Naitik added "We just hope that in these upcoming years, you learn something out of your lives. So in the future when your paths cross again, there is a beginning of something new and you start afresh". With Naitik's final words, everyone started walking towards Goenka Villa. Though not before listening to their final words "I hate you Jungli Billi and always will" to which the reply came instantly "The feeling is mutual monster. Forever it will be".

Precap: After 7 years, they meet!
