Sheena, did you get the list of all who are going to Paris meeting?"

"yes sir mostly all confirmed  but Naira hasn't I'm waiting for her confimation"

"she's not coming! He snapped "who's next?" on the list, Sharman he is going, Nikita yes.." Kartik went through the list.

Naira went over to her dad's house for atleast half hour they were discussing the future, of how many kids now that she married.

"when Naira you will give us some good news?" said her dadi.

"right now I'm concerned making a career for myself" she replied.

"oh beta that's not the answer we were hoping for ,

"Why don't you ask Arohi she is eldest kyu di?"

"Arohi ko pooch ke thak gaye beta usne kaha pehle Naira so come on set the example beti" her dad said sweetly everyone was in a mood for joking except her.

"Di papa is right, when you will make me a masi" for godsake I came here on the wrong day surely.

"I'm just going to get some fresh air on the terrace.

"oh she's becoming all shy" said dadi.

"sure beta" he replied. Arohi saw her attitude.. she followed her to the terrace.

"di just imagine you and salil with a kid, you both would have the funniest time, playing mum and dad"

"enough Arohi di I'm not ready for kids yet who knows maybe I don't want to have them ever!

Naira what's got into you?"

"I don't know but ... I'm saying I will live my life the way please, I want to live, take some risks, be spontaneous, rebel enjoy life. have a thrill,

"What thrill?"

"you won't get it.. anyway I won't be around for a 2-3 days.. I'm going to Paris it's a business meeting thing.

"what?"

"yeah.. Naira got up. 'I'm not boring 'I want some excitement and I know exactly who can give me that' she smiled.

"ok I've got to go make a phone call it's urgent..

"di wait, are things ok with Salil."

"yeah... couldn't be better" she fake smiled but it was enough to convince her sister.

but di Paris why?" Arohi really was not getting where her sister point of view was coming from. Naira turned around. "Nothing its just a business trip that I think I should attend bas..."

"oh ok but it's Paris is it necessary you will leave jiju on his own and go?"

"uff di he won't be on his own he has his mum and its only matter of 3 days.. he will be fine"

"who will be fine?" said a voice. Naira knew that familiar voice all too well. She turned around with a smile "Masi-ma" she ran over to her like a kid and hugged her. "Aree my Laali you missed me this much" she said patting her head. was her pet name and what her masi always called her ever since she was a little girl because Naira had very blushing cheeks as a baby and she was her masi's little darling too hence the name was perfect.. Naira was very close to her masi, being the eldest daughter she couldn't discuss her real feelings and thoughts with those younger to her. Her relationship with her father close but there were certain things she could not talk to him about. Her masi was more of a mum to her, and even since Naira was little she looked up to her, and she considered her as her confidant she could really discuss anything with her and her masi would not judge her on any level. "Yes I missed you , how was your holiday? did you take some snaps and how is John masa and ... "calm down beta are you going to ask all questions to me now" she laughed. "Jenna Masi I know Naira is your favourite but I'm here too". Naira laughed "Come here bacchu masi ma loves all of us group hug" she smiled the three girls hugged "of course I love you girls equally" she had both girls against each shoulder patting their heads affectionately. but one is missing where is Kavya?"

" She is gone collage she should be back in a few hours" said Naira

"accha" she smiled.. "beta how is Arjun and Laali how is Salil?" Arohi went on about Arjun, but their masi saw Naira's expression and noticed something wasn't quite right, when she spoke of him. "he is fine busy with work... "Let's all go downstairs and...".

"beta I want to speak with Laali for a minute you go and we will catch you up?" Arohi nodded and left them to it.

"Laali?" she said looking at her. "hmmm?" "Everything ok.. with you know Salil?"

"masimaa.. of course it couldn't be better, now show me your photos I really want to see them.." she said pulling her hand like a demanding child. "Just a second beta, look at me.." she held her hands and looked her in the eye. "ok...."

"are you happy in your life..?" for a second Naira looked down, then quickly up. "um..."
"masi.. when did you come" Kavya ran to her. "Kavya beta" said masi hugged her as she came in-between the two of them. Kavya was a little hyper, she went on about something, Naira left them to it and went downstairs. Shortly all were downstairs, discussing masi's photos on her phone showing snaps of Bali holiday. All were looking except for Naira's dad, he and she didn't see eye to eye much, he never did like her attitude of being a divorcee and remarrying a white man. Luckily Naira and her sister's didn't have a problem in fact they were quite fond of John. "Masi are their no photos of you and John masa?" said a cheeky Kavya. "Kavya chup, look at the sight seeing photos!"

"She spoke rudely but its made me want her even more!" Kitni hot hai he thought, smiling to himself but how dare she speak to me like that no girl dare speaks to KG that way what is her issue. He began to ring a number.

“hey Salu what's up man busy hai Kya chal let's catch up.? Kartik reached ocean bar and spotted Salil, he got there early. He gave him a hug, then ordered drinks. He ordered himself a scotch Kartik had expensive taste.
"How are you, work and all.."
"Good, you tell. They had a general conversation.. He asked Salil about Naira but he was only getting general answers. Kartik rolled his eyes. "Seriously she is the best heart of gold hai bahut achhe hai meri Naira." Kartik fake laughed what a snooze fest this conversation was..
This is boring "ek minute wait", waiter give us a round of tequila shots.
"Nai kartik it's early"
(Tut) come in yaar don't be boring" here cheers he made Salil have it, salil made excuse of going to the wash room.
Kartik dheere bhai.. kartik pretended to have all of them but really he didn't, he wanted to get Salil a little drunk.
"Kya yaar, chal ab teri bari" He made him take one shot. Salil smiled
"Your right I need to chill"
"Yeh hui na baat" said Kartik. Salil was about to drink 2nd glass but Kartik stopped him.
"Itni bhi Kya jaldi mere bhai, ek baat poochu? Salil nodded
" I want something of yours will you give it?"
"What?" He slurred.
"Your wife I want her give Naira to me"

Meanwhile Naira was feeling snappy.

"Naira di what's your problem?"  Said Kavya

"Nothing.. anyway everyone I have to go, and...

"Naira your leaving for Paris when day after tomorrow right?" Arohi why did you mention in front of everyone! She thought now all eyes were on her. "Paris what?" said her masi. "it's a holiday you and Salil beta are going on?" questioned her dad.

"no papa it's no holiday and I've not made up my mind its optional for me whether to go or not and if I do then he isn't coming its' a business trip"

"oh ok.. well he should be accompanying you even though it's your trip na?"

"Papa it's if I decide to go I'll be fine all my colleagues are going.. and my boss will be there so..."

"Kartik will be there?" said Arohi and that name caught her masi's ear.

"of course its his company then obviously na.. anyway if I go then I guess I will see you all in a few days." Her father got up from his seat. "ok beta take care, keep ringing so we know you are ok and safely there. She hugged all her family members, Masimaa was itching to say something, she came to her. "Laali before you go let's catch up, ok John isn't home right now come to mine, have some lunch and we can talk" Naira really needed to talk to someone about how she was feeling and what she should do about it. "ok. Masimaa that sounds great" she smiled. "Good my driver is waiting in the car, you go I will be there in a few seconds" Naira nodded and left..the car drive was about her masi's trip, mainly Naira asking questions about the sight seeing.

"You want Naira you have her working for you already..  Kartik chuckled
"of course that's what I meant" 'he isn't giving any clue this is a waste of time he thought.
" I need to leave chal.." kartik got up from his stool.
"Mujhe chaiye Naira if she allows me come close but she doesn't she hasn't ever"
Kartik's eyes widened 'I knew it!'
"What seriously you've never been intimate with her, I mean kiss to kiya hoga right?" Salil took a shot.
"bahut kam peck diya hai woh bhi thode months pehle aur  even some nights she sleeps away from me, sometimes I think it's an excuse that she doesn't want to be close." 'Well well miss attitude thought Kartik. 
"To woh virgin hai?"  He blatantly asked.
" pata nai but mein hu" he confessed to Kartik.
"Tu bata kese how do I bring her closer?" Kartik wanted to laugh out loud. 'What lies she has said but not anymore tumhari chori pakde gai Sherni'
"Yeh sab tumhare bas ki baat nai hai, abhi tum ghar jao"
"Kya?" He looked up. Kartik nodded. Salil got up not being able to keep balance.
"I love her alot" He said. "Naira kaha hai?" Kartik handled him and he sent him home with his driver.  'Ab to mujhe Naira chaiye at any cost and whatever KG wants he gets it in the end, but I will not beg her I've never begged any girl!
