She called him to ask if he is okay or not..

Naira : Kartik tum thik ho na??

Kartik : Hm..

Naira : Tum itna ajeeb kyun behave kar rahe ho Kartik.. kya hua mujhe please batao..

Kartik : Kuch nahi Naira sab thik hai.. I am really sorry ki main wahan se aise chala aaya.. actually..

She didn't allow him to complete..

Naira : It's ok Kartik.. abhi kaam ho gaya na bass tum yahan aajao please..

He don't like lying to Naira so he tried to speak the truth that it wasn't really the work..

Kartik : Nahi tum suno to

She again stopped him in the middle..

Naira : Koi nahi nahi chalega.. kuch mat bolo aur yahan aa jao please.. main tumhe bahut miss kar rahi hu.. tumne realize bhi kia kitna vakt ho gaya ek saath time spend karke..

Kartik (sarcastically) : Tum!! Mujhe miss kar rahi ho??

Naira : Tana maar rahe ho!!

Kartik and Naira both became silent for a few seconds.. not knowing what to say..

Naira (Sadly) : Thik hai.. mat aao.. it's ok

Kartik : Main aa raha hu..

She smiled..

Naira : Jaldi aana..

He reached her home within 15 minutes..

He opened the door since it wasn't locked, it was just closed casually..

Naira heard that and she almost ran towards him and hugged him tightly.. he reciprocated the hug..

Naira (on the verge of crying) : Tumhe pata hai maine tumhe kitna miss kiya.. tum mujhe aise ignore kyun kar rahe ho.. aur itne gusse mein kyun ho??

Kartik : Chodo tum nahi samjhogi..

Naira looked up at him..

Naira : Kyun main koi bacchi hu jo nahi samjhungi..

Kartik : Wohi to tajjub ki baat hai ki tum bacchi nahi ho aur samajhti bhi nahi ho.. chodo.. tum baitho.. aaj main coffee banata hu phir baat karte hai..

Naira : Tum kyun.. ??

Kartik (lovingly) : Aise hi.. tum yahan baitho.. I will just go make the coffee real quick and come back to you.. ok??

Naira agreed and sat down at the couch..

After few minutes her phone rang showing an unknown number..

She received it.. a lady was there on the phone..

Naira : Hello..

Lady : Beta.. Naira.. aap Naira hi ho na..??

Naira : Ji.. par aap kaun?? Maine aapko pehchana nahi..

Lady : Tumhare aas paas Kartik hai..??

She felt a little shock as to who is asking for Kartik and how did she know that Kartik and she is together now..

Naira : Umm.. excuse me.. aap bol kaun rahe hai??

Lady : Beta you can trust me.. tum please mujhe yeh batao ki Kartik aas paas to nahi hai na..

Naira : Nahi filhal to thoda dur hai.. kaun hai aap aur mujhe kaise janti hai...

Lady : Main Kartik ki Maa bol rahi hu Naira, Swarna Goenka..

Naira : Aunty, aap .. oh my God!! Aapne mujhe phone kiya hai.. maine kitna suna hai aapke aur uncle ke baare Kartik se aapko pata hai..

Swarna : Par maine jitne suna hai usse Kam.. woh humesha tumhare baare mein baat karta hai ki tum kitni acchi ho, pyaari ho..

She blushed at the comment..

Swarna : Accha suno, Kartik ko bolna mat ki maine tumhe phone kiya hai.. actually baat yeh hai ki umm.. kaise batau tumhara time hoga ki nahi.. tum waise bhi bahut busy rahti ho.. kitni famous ho chuki ho..

Naira : Aunty please aap aise mat kahiye, aap mujhe sharminda kar rahe hai.. aap logo ke liye main humesha free Hun.. aap kahiye na Kya karna hai.. Kartik ke liye koi surprise hai Kya Jo Kartik ko bolne ke liye mana kar rahi hai..

Swarna : Haan, kind of!!

Naira : Yeh to bahut accha idea hai Aunty.. aap chinta mat kijiye Kal ke liye I will somehow take a off from my shoot... Kartik ne humesha mere liye bahut kuch Kiya hai.. aur aap log mujhe support karte hai yeh mujhe pata hai.. to I will be coming tomorrow morning then..

Swarna : Thik hai aur lunch karke jaana.. okay beta??

Naira : Okay aunty thank you so much..

They hung up.. she was just sitting there smiling thinking of the sweet and pure conversation she just had...

Kartik came with the coffee mugs and saw her smiling alone..

Kartik : Akele akele Kya muskura rahi ho??

Naira : Kuch nahi.. bass aise hi..

Kartik came and sat beside her.. gave her the coffee.. she switched on the TV..

They finished their coffee.. Naira came closer to Kartik and put her head on his shoulder..

Kartik : Naira kya kar rahi ho??

Naira : Kya kar rahi hu??

Kartik : Dekho Naira tum abhi celebrity ho.. tumlogo ke industry mein aise kisi ke bhi saath cozy hona chalta hoga.. but it's really uncomfortable for me..

Naira : Kartik!! Kya bol rahe ho!! Tum 'koi bhi' nahi ho.. tum mere best friend ho.. mera hak hai tumpe.. (she looked up) aur tumhe uncomfortable lagta hai mere saath..

Kartik : Tum itna paas ayogi to... Mujhe to.. (he sighed) I know you know what I am trying to say..

Naira : It's okay.. I understand.. but mujhe tumhare khande pe sar rakhna hai bass.. because I love it..

Kartik smiled and nodded his head.. she kept her head on his shoulder again and he flung his one arm around her..

Naira : There is something really special for you coming up..

Kartik : Kya??

Naira : Kuch nahi mera show aa raha hai.. woh dekho..

She changed the topic and he also didn't paid much attention to it..

Kartik : Main roz dekhta hu.. you don't have to tell me to watch..

Naira : Do you like it??

Kartik : Have I not told you before.. ??

Naira : Haan you told that you loveeeeee it but mujhe baar baar sunna accha lagta hai..

Kartik : To thik hai main baar baar bolta rahunga...

They both laughed and cherished the moment..
