She held his hand demanding an explanation. "Ok your angry I understand, but let's talk you leaving this way, leaving me, I swear this time I won't be able to handle it, I will die without you, really I will kill myself.

"Naira" he cupped her face. "Stop, don't speak like that or ever say that again, I'm not leaving you jaan" she looked up. Her eyes moist she was relieved to hear that, suddenly she felt she needed to be closer to him, it was silent in the room, she put her lips on his, grippng his face, she kissed him passionately, he was taken back by her actions, she started to unbutton his shirt.

" jaan" he broke the kiss..

"Mmm" she said resuming the kiss. She started kissing his neck, which was driving him wild, she then  pulled his hand and placed it around her butt. Kartik too was getting lost in her kiss, then he felt her taking her actions further.

"Naira wait" he said breathlessly holding her hand as she was undoing his jean zipper.

"What I want to do it with you, right now" she said resuming her actions.

" Naira jaan, not now baby" Naira took a step back.

" fine then if you don't want to" she was confused.

" why don't you want to, your gone off me, or there is someone else" she said

"Are you crazy of course there isn't why would you say such a stupid thing!" 

" then why not Kartik, what am I suppose to think?"

" now hang on a minute, i wanted to in the hotel room remember you stopped it, i couldve said this same thing but i didn't " She was silent and he felt bad.

"Sweetheart" he cupped her face. "There has only even been one girl in my life, the love of my life, the mother of my child, meri sherni" she looked up at him. His eyes so captivating.

"Look into my eyes, do you really think there has been anyone else?" Naira shook her head.

"I'm sorry" she sobbed hugging him. "How could I ever doubt my Kartik" he smiled holding her close. "Mein bahut buri hu"

"Eh" he broke the hug. He wiped her tears. " enough! He held her shoulders, she kept her gaze down."you are the best in the whole world meri sherni" he placed his index finger under her chin making her look up.

"Meri Naira buri ho hi nai sakti" she smiled he knew exactly what to say to make her feel better.

 in a soft gently tone. He said " I love you"

"I love you too" they hugged each other tightly. 

"But I still have to go today" he said squeezing his eyes shut because he knew she won't like it.  Her mind registered..

"What mendak, why i thought we sorted out the issue" she turned her back to him in annoyance.

" Jaan"..  he said softly he came behind her, and held her.

" there was no issue, I have to leave for work, I wanted to tell you this a few days ago, but then you were enjoying our time together I thought I will tell you later" she listened to him but didn't respond.

" sweetheart it's just 2 days" he pressed his cheek to hers.

"Just 2 days?" She turned to him.

" hmm, its work so I can't say no na" she nodded, she knew how important work was than anyone.

"ok but not tonight please"

"ok listen, so you want to .." hearing him she got shy.

" hmm?" She played dumb, taking a step back.

"That you are ready for us to." he said in a hoarsely tone, teasing her he knew she didn't mean it. He pulled her towards him.

"You want to" he said slipping his hand under her shirt, caressing her waist, the sensation of his actions were making her breath uneven.

" tonight" he said in her ear.

" huh, tonight?" He felt the slight panic in her tone.

 "Um.. you know it's been two years Kartik and.."

"I know you only said it to stop me leaving right?"  He said in a 'your caught kind of tone.' She covered her face with her palms. " hmm" she replied he removed her hands and held them.

" it's ok to wait" he said in an understanding tone.

" you sure, I mean I'm just nervous I read after having a baby it's not the same I don't want to dissapoint y..  he placed a finger to her lip.

"Shhh" he removed his finger and cupped her face.

"you could never dissapoint me baby, my love is deeper than just physical Naira I love you beyond all of that jaan"  their eyes locked lovingly. "I'm so lucky I have you" she said with tears on the verge. He shook his head. "Uh um, I'm the lucky one".

"Your so sweet baby" she pulled his cheeks playfully, he chuckled, pulling her close, she snuggled into his arms. She leaned her head on his chest. He patted her head sweetly.

"Naira?"

" hmm?" He made her face him, whilst holding her waist.

 "it will be special when it does happen" he smiled. Making her blush.

 "of course it will" she said confidently looping his neck. They exchange a smile, their noses touching. He pulled her closer, she squealed at his action

"uff shreni you look so hot in this blazer and shirt" he sucked the air through his teeth, he was planning to give her a long kiss, they both heard the door creak. Kittu's little hand touched the door and he popped his head in. "Dadda" he said with a smile. Their son's high pitch cute voice broke their moment. They made a distance,

"Hey mera baccha"  he said soft and gently. Kittu ran to him giggling he lifted him up in his arms, and started tickling him, Kittu giggled loudly Naira smiled, it was always a beautiful sight to see them bonding, she came beside Kartik, Kittu stretched out, Naira cushioned his head with her palms. "Mumma I'm hungry" Naira kissed his little face.

"yes baby chalo mumma will feed you" she said

"Yes dadda is also hungry mumma too, chalo let's all eat" he said handing Kittu to Naira.  Naira smiled cuddling him. "Naira and choti Naira, seriously your smiles are the same" Kittu leaned his head forward on her shoulder,she smiled at Kartik whilst rubbing his little back as he clinged on to her more.  "I'm so glad usne tumhari pyari si smile mili"

"Haan otherwise he looks like you" she said looking into his eyes. He smiled, and kissed her temple, she close her eyes feeling his love. "Pasta" they both heard and burst out in laughter.

" Yes my cutie let's go" she said and the three of them made their way downstairs. Once in the kitchen, she took the pasta dish out of the oven. " Baby I'm just going to get changed you start feeding Kittu I'll be back in 5 minutes". Kartik nodded. Shortly she came back downstairs. They all ate dinner, and spoke about random things.

"Baby I still have to leave tonight after dinner I'm going to make a move"

" so soon" she pouted, ruffling his hair

"Hmm" he pouted, sticking his bottom lip out.

"Awww, mera cutie" she commented. They heard a clink sound

"Kittu" (tut) Naira said getting up. Kartik held her hand. "jaan you relax you've had a hectic day"

" I've finished,  I'll see to him" she smiled he is so sweet and understanding.  He leaned across and  kissed her cheek then got up and attended to Kittu. "you dropped this shaitan kahi ka", but he just giggled. Kartik smiled as he made him finish his food then carried him out of his chair to wash his hands, whilst Naira wiped his high chair down.

"Jaan I should make a move now" he said closing the tap. Naira nodded "ok" she said in a flat tone.  He went upstairs and brought his suitcase down. Kittu saw Kartik and stood there. Naira came and picked him  up.

" you going to say bye to him?" He nodded.

" Kittu dadda wants to talk with you" she smiled. "Chalo dadda wait kar re hai" she handed him to Kartik. " dadda" he smiled going to Kartik. "Kissie"  he said cutely and Kartik felt his cheek moist from his little red lips, Kartik kissed his rosy cheek.

" dadda loves you, Kittu be good for mumma I will be back to you very soon" he kissed his cheeks and temple, then took him in a hug. "mera baccha meri jaan i love you" his eyes moist, he loves his son so much. Naira felt emotional too.

 "Kittu mumma ke pas avo" but Kittu had clinged to Kartik's shoulder.

"Kittu"- she took him from the back. "Beta zid maat karo" Kittu screamed, he wouldn't part from his dadda, Naira took him crying, "dadda?" He called. Naira tried to calm him down, and it was breaking Kartik's heart seeing his son crying and now coughing.

" it's ok Naira give him" she did as he said.

"Kittu na bacha dadda yaha hai, bas bas no more tears" he comforted his little boy, hugging him.  Cradling him in his arms walking with him.

"I didn't know how attached he had gotten" she nodded. "See I knew I had a feeling he won't understand" he sat down with Kittu on his lap.

"I will leave a bit later when he goes to sleep"

"Yeah that would be better" she sat next to him, holding Kittu's hand in hers and they exchanged a smile. Then they both gave Kittu a bath and he fell asleep in his daddy's arms. "He is asleep" he whispered to her. He carried him up, and then placed him in his crib.

" he needs a bed now, this crib is getting small" she whispered

" yeah we will sort it once I'm back" he smiled holding her hand and they both left the nursery, they took the stairs as he had to leave for his flight. He walked to the door.

"I miss you already" she said.he turned to her and cupped her chin.

" I will be back before you know it jaan" he said in a soft tone reassuring her.  She nodded.  He could see her vulnerable expression,  he kissed her forehead, both her cheeks and then, he looked at her, and bought his lips to hers, she felt his rough lips upon her soft ones, their heads twisted in different ways as they kissed like there was no tomorrow, oxygen became an issue, They reluctantly broke the kiss. He caressed her jaw.

"I'll be back very soon" she nodded. Leaning against his face, their foreheads touching.

"I love you" she said in an emotional tone.

" love you more" he replied then pecked her lips again.

" Right I better go now" he released her. He picked up his suitcase, he turned to her.

" take care of yourself and Kittu"

"Call me when you reach" he nodded " I will try but sometimes network can be an issue, so if I  don't call don't panic ok?" She nodded.

"Come back fast" he nodded

"I will, come here" he took her in his arms and gave a sweet secure hug. She snuggled into him.

Naira and Piya are cousin's and Piya works abroad most of the time but otherwise she is with Naira they are like sisters and she helps with Kittu when she is in town.

"sorry mami but I'm not getting involved Naira trusts me, we have a sister code I'm not breaking it." She hung up the call.
