"Bas bas mera baccha" Kartik was cradling the baby in his arms it had been 10 minutes since they checked into a hotel for the night. "Haan mumma so kal milte hai, I love you too" she said then ended the call she came back into the room. "Ise kya hua" she asked whilst shutting the door "I think she is hungry" he kissed the top of her head "hmm after the rescue team found us and checked us in this hotel I don't think I have fed our princess" she said whilst taking her from him."Mumma always says mother's milk is the best" he said turning to her.

"Can I?" She asked whilst looking at him and then her lap. "Of course mumma ho tum uski" he said she rubbed her little tummy.
"But bottle se toh.. he caressed the baby's head she looked to her left "sweetie are you lactating?" She nodded "hmm but I have been ignoring it because I didn't want to bond completely because I..

"Thought you were not going to a mumma for long right?" She nodded "aww cavegirl now it's all ok you can breastfeed her with ease and not worry about anything" Kartik came closer and pecked her lip. "Thank you cave boy I want to try this and see but I feel nervous" he sat down more comfortably on the bed.
"Baby dekho your mumma wants to give you her milk"

He kissed the baby's cheek. "Ok let's try this" she said, he loosened her night gown and helped her.. "come on baby good girl" he said Naira looked down at the little tot.

"Look she is a natural skillful bacha after all beti kis ki hai" he said which she smiled too. "Hmm bilkul papa par gaye hai" she said which surprised him. "Really waise what did your mumma say?" Naira was too engrossed in the baby. "I can't believe how amazing this feels to be able to provide for you bacha I can't believe we are parents Kartik"

Kartik beamed hearing her words "yes babe parents at 20 yrs old to such a cutie" he kissed the baby again. "Accha listen we can't keep calling her baby" he nodded "yes she needs a name we will think of one nice name" she nodded "hmm Kartik she came to us with hope and blessing esa kuch naam I feel" he saw her latch off "I think she is full mein sula deta hu" she kissed the baby and gave her to Kartik.

"Chalo chalo baby tomorrow is a big day you will meet your nana nani and dada dadi" he said then kissed her cheek and laid her in the baby sit. Naira got into the bed "mumma knows about us but not about her" she said Kartik got into bed "Mumma will love you and her I am sure" he said taking her into his arms. "Main acchi bahu banungi" she snuggled more into him. "I have no doubt ab ek goodnight kiss dedo"

She giggled "I knew this was coming" she cupped his face and kissed his lips they kissed for a few good minutes.

"Ok cutiepie" she said breaking the kiss. "You know we have the green light to go ahead and much more now" he raised a brow. "Haan I know but with the baby in the same room I feel a bit shy" she said burying her face in his chest. He chuckled "ok and I too feel shy with her in the room let's sleep tomorrow is a big day" she nodded and they fell asleep in each others arms.

"Kartik come inside" he nodded he noticed Naira had been crying after meeting her family. "Sweetie you ok na?" He said coming out with the car seat which the baby was sleeping in. "Yeh ladka aur yeh bacha?" Said Naira's mum to her husband.. "that is her boyfriend but the baby I don't know but we have Naira back mumma I still can't believe it" Naina wiped her tear.

"Haan beta" said her mumma they looked ahead and saw Naira take out the baby and both women looked at each other. "Kya hua baby mumma yahi hai" she said hugging her baby. "Mumma?" Said her mum and sister.

"Hmm yeh meri beti hai" she looked to Kartik "hum dono ki aap ki poti hai mumma papa" there was a wave of silence in the air. "Yeh doll meri niece hai" Naira smiled a little "hain Naina di" her dad was silent "Yeh ladka.. said her father. "Kartik hai uska naam and before you say anything he is my husband" she said whilst holding his hand.

"I need to have a strong drink" said her father "I need to sit down come everyone let's talk inside" said her mumma.  They all went into the house "Before I say anything more welcome to the family son" Naira's lips broke into a smile "thank you sir" he said with a smile. "Naira ki beti I can't believe this" said her mumma. "Use mujhe pehle godi mein lena hai" said Naina, Kartik and Naira smiled at each other.

" hello cutie.." she said but the baby started crying "oh no sorry Naira she wants you" said Naina "bas,bas kya hua yeh Naina masi hai.." Kartik took her from Naira " bas bas mera bacha" he hugged her close to his chest. "Yeh ladka kitna mature hai dekho bachi ko kese sambhal raha hai" said Naira's mumma to her husband. "Haan teeno bahut pyare lagre hai" he agreed "right how did you meet kya kya hua I want to know everything choti and Kartik please feel at home" said Naina "Yes beta tum dono ki Jodi bahut pyari lag rahi hai" said her mumma. Kartik smiled then they sat down and spoke and had tea he bonded very well with her family.

"Sweetie" he came and back hugged her, she turned to him "my family excepted you with open arms" he held her waist. "Mine will too" he touched his forehead to hers "trust me once she is awake we will leave from here" she nodded and they hugged. Shortly they said bye to her family and left to meet his. Kartik went to the door and his mumma just grabbed him and sobbed "I thought you were never going to come back" he hugged his mumma and cried too. "Luv kush?" She nodded "woh dono tumhare papa ke saath aree hai abhi phone aya.. he nodded wiping his tears.

"Mumma tume kuch batana hai in these 2 years Maine shaadi karli aur.. she was shocked a little. "Tumne shaadi karli kise?" She asked him.."aur ek good news hai tum dadi bhi bangaye ho.." Naira cradled their daughter in her arms the car door opened. "Come sweetie and mumma knows everything" he said whilst helping her out. "Tumne bata diya?" Now she felt nervous..

"Don't worry she is happy and excited to meet you" he kissed her cheek. "Hmm meri princess  sogaye" He kissed the top of her head.

"Tum dono wahi ruk jao" Naira looked at him "accha meri bahu ka acche se swagat karna hume" Naira smiled when she hugged her. "Mere Kartik ki beti" she said taking a peak. "Haan aunty" she said. "Nai beta aaj se tum mujhe  mumma bulavogi accha mein thale leke aati hu" Naira smiled "your mumma is an absolute angel" he nodded "I know and I knew she will love you too" she kissed his cheek then his mumma did a proper ghar pravesh with aarti and the Kalash making her feel very welcome.

A few days later

"Yes Ritz I will try to bring her..ok see you in a few hours I thought she was going to faint" Naira cut the call. "A college reunion Arjun just told me" he said coming into their room they are now living with Kartik's family and they are very happy. "Ritz really wants us to bring Kaurwaki with us.." Kartik went to the bed where she was kicking her little feet.

"Kauru you ready to meet mumma and papa's friends hmm princess Kaurwaki?" He kissed her little face. They both got ready and got her ready too and then left to go to the college reunion they parked up and went inside.. "oh my God there hear!" Screamed Ritz "Naira omg" she hugged her then looked at Kartik "this is crazy but amazing may I see her?" Naira shook her head "yes but don't be so loud woh darr jayegi" she said feeling protective of her little baby. "Wow Naira your in proper mumma mode I still can't believe you and Kartik have a baby"

Arjun spotted Kartik "dude you gave us such a fright" he said then hugged Kartik "your a dad i can't believe it and Naira hi" he shook her hand. "Kese ho Arjun?" She asked  "im great but you guys must be hungry come there is food and all" he said Kartik held Kauru close and Naira held his hand as they walked ahead, everyone was happy to see them.

"You and Kartik got married?" Naira nodded "yah Kirti" she said whilst sipping her drink. "And she is a mumma" said Ritz making Kirti shocked. "Shut up like seriously" Naira didn't care what anyone thought she pointed to Kartik who had Kauru sleeping on his shoulder he lovingly had his hand on her back. 'Uff he looked so gorgeous' she was admiring him.

"That's just crazy like we saw you guys on a boat and now your married and you have a baby together" said  another friend. "I know right" added Kirti. "Its not that crazy believe me" said Naira she knew what was actually crazy the oracles and that house,the shells and those wishes  if they knew that then they would think this is very normal. "So Sunny is ancient history?"

"Ritz when I think about it now there was nothing there to even think about he is just my friend" Ritz pointed "he just arrived" Kartik saw him as he greeted Arjun. " Kartik how are you I heard you guys are back we were all very worried" he didn't notice the baby in his arms. "How is Naira?" He asked

"She is fine" she said walking over to Kairtik "Kauru theekh hai?" She asked checking on her baby. "I think she needs changing" said Kartik. "Sorry Naira she is your baby?" Sunny asked. "Our baby" said Kartik. "Sunny yah long story in a nutshell Kartik and I got married and then we had her" Sunny saw Ritz "Kartik and Naira got married" Ritz walked over "yes they found their way to each other" said Ritz.

"Congrats man she is a great girl" he said patting Kartik's arm. "Hmm I know my girl is" he said their baby started crying. " alle kya hua Kauru ko..aajao mumma ke paas" Kartik gave her. "Yeh she needs a change excuse us" she said cradling her "Kartik diaper bag?" Kartik nodded "it's over there I'll just come"

"So this is little Naira looks like you too" he said "she looks like him more" said Naira.. "chill out I was just kidding" Naira sighed. "How did you end up like this you barely knew each other so how are your married?" Naira shook her head. "Obviously we got to know each other alot more in every way and well he is my twin flame I can't explain it but when you know you know " she smiled whilst caressing Kauru head.

"Sweetie all ok?" He asked seeing Naira talking to Sunny. "Hmm chale..baby kya hua dekho papa agaye" she said showing her to Kartik. "Sunny excuse us" she said and went with Kartik. Ritz came and stood next to him. "Naira has changed she is totally wife and mother material" huffed Ritz but they don't know what tests Kaira had to pass in order to survive and also get to keep their daughter.

"Chalo sab ko goodbye bol te hai" said Katik and Naira nodded "it was nice to see you all but Kauru is sleepy and soon it's her feeding time" she said. Kartik said his byes "Ritz what's wrong?" She asked "Naira your going to be busy with your own family ke you won't have time for me"

"Ritz relax esa kuch nai hoga here hold her..Kauru Dekho this is Ritz your masi" Ritz held the little one. "Sunny look take my photo" she said "actually let's take a selfie of us all.. "wait one sec baby come" but Kartik told her to carry on, Shortly they left and came home "Kauru sogai how was the party?" Kartik nodded "acchi thi mumma it's late we will take her upstairs" he said taking the babysit.

Kartik placed her in the crib then got changed. "Kartik what's up you were quiet and didn't come to click a photo something bothering you?" She asked him whilst changing her clothes. "I don't know Naira should it?" He asked. "Sunny..?" Kartik cleared his throat "are you jealous?" She giggled whilst asking then walked towards the washroom.

"Oi pagal" she backhugged him "what pagli" he said turning to her "we just talked bas I don't care about anything else except for my hot" she looped his neck. "Husband who is all my eyes searched for the entire night" he smiled a little. "Sacchi?" She pulled him by the collars "yes cutie" she said then placed her lips on his. "You and her that's all that matters mein bahut khush hu that I found you and that we came this far we fell in love" he pulled her closer. "Yes twin flame yeh to hona hi tha"he pressed his lips on hers and carried her up bridal style.

"Yes my twin flame I love you so much I didn't think it was possible ke anyone would love me but then you came" he sat down on the bed with her. "Khabardar why wouldn't anyone not love you that is the question.. you didn't find anyone because I was meant to come into your life sweetie" he pecked her lips and kept the kiss soft and loving.

"Tonight everyone was saying they are studying courses enjoying college life and all I could think was unlucky them because I have everything a career, the love of my life" he tugged her chin when saying that. "Same I felt no jealousy because we have it all" she hugged him then they  looked into each others eyes and had a sweet night together full of love and dreams of their future.
