"Papa susu " Kittu said patting his face Kartik opened his eyes.

'What time is it' he looked at his watch

"4am?" He blinked sleepily.

"Ek minute baby" he patted him to sleep, falling asleep himself.. after an hour or so Kartik's sleep broke,  he felt Kittu's weight on him, his little feet were resting on his belly. He smiled when he held his little foot in his hand, so soft like a baby, he went to carry him and hold him close, that's when he felt his clothes were wet.

'Oh no he has wet himself' he thought, he placed him back, and checked..the bed was wet.

" he is wearing normal pants? oh shit Naira did say at night time put on the pull up pants, i forgot"

He caressed his forehead,.. and his lids fluttered

"bechara, he must be feeling irritation, sleeping in wet clothes"

"Baby apne susu karli pant mein" his words made Kittu cry.

"Kittu, rote nai, it's ok  baccha, ajao papa ke, paas, papa ki goudi  mein"  Kittu sat up and  came to him, Kartik  stood up carrying him, his little hands held him around the neck and his crying got louder.

" bas bas mera bachha" Kartik rocked him.

" kya karu, Naira ko uthau, yes good idea she will know what to do..no wait she must be sleeping, woh bechari thak gaye hogi, actually I'm his papa I will take care of him myself, haina baby chalo"

 He  took him to the washroom. Kartik placed him down he removed the t-shirt and the pants and quickly gave him a bath. Then carried him into the room again, Kittu was already dry the temperature is picking up, he placed him on the ground and got the diaper. He placed him on the bed and made him wear the pull up diaper.

"Nice and clean now" he kissed his cheek.

He carried Kittu up and stripped the bed where it was wet removed that sheet. Then placed Kittu back on the bed.

" Baby papa will be back" he kissed his forehead, he took the sheets and ran them under water, he added soap and left them in a bucket, he washed his clothes too.   Kartik felt hot seems the weather was changing. He removed his top and went back in the bed, he patted Kittu to sleep.

The next day, Naira came into the room, she had already showered, and was wearing a blue sari,  she saw Kittu was just in pullups she knew what might've happened, she went and saw the bed sheets and his clothes in the bathroom.

"I knew it Kartik forgot to change him, Kittu wet the bed" she carried a sleepy Kittu up to give him a bath, she let Kartik sleep.

"First I'll give him a bath and then wake up him"  she came to Kartik's side.

"apne papa ko sataya" she rubbed his little back.

'Seems my mendak was up midway of his sleep to changed this little guy,it's ok I'll let him sleep'

She kissed Kartik's cheek and left, she gently closed the door. Naira walked out on the landing with Kittu clunged to her chest like a baby monkey.

" is he awake" nani said with a smile.

"Not quite but this is the time he wakes up I need to give him a bath" said Naira.

"No problem I will help you" Naira nodded and they gave him a bath together, she didn't mention him wetting himself, she didn't want anyone to think Kartik can't look after him..

"Come on baby put your leg in" she said as she was  trying to get him to wear pull ups"

" nai" he giggled.

"Beta he is probably feeling hot in them, i will order disposable cotton ones" Naira looked at nani and nodded.

"Yah your right he won't wear_

"Kittu, Kittu yaha avo" Naira chased him out of the room. He was running being in a playful mood, his cute laugh echoed on the landing.

"Kittu ruko baby" she said not use to running in a sari.

"Aree nangu maharaj" she heard Kartik say as she saw Kittu run into his arms. Her eyes met his. He carried Kittu up.

"Aap mumma ko kyu sata rahe ho" he said walking back with him to Naira.

"Use ese hi ghumna hai" she said pulling his cheek playfully, Kittu just smiled and they both kissed his cheek, neither one of them could be angry with that cute face for long.

"come I'll help you with him" he said softly she nodded with a smile, they went into nani's room.

Kartik placed Kittu down and sat him on his lap.

"Naira beta, here these just came" she handed her the diaper bag.

"Yeh kya hai" Kartik asked. Naira sat down too.

"cotton diaper hai beta ise tum dono ka balgopal ko garmi nai lagagi zyada" said nani.

"8 hours absorption" Naira read out.

"That's good so wedding events mein he will be ok" said Kartik and both Nani and Naira nodded.

"You both try, see if he likes it mein abhi aye" nani smiled leaving them to it.

"Baby lie him down, it will be easier" Kartik did just that and Naira put the diaper on him.

"Perfect" said Kartik taking Kittu on his lap, Naira slipped a vest over his head.

"It's really hot today I think we will leave the shorts off" Kartik agreed with her.

"Phir se sari uff" he said and she blushed.

"Do you like it" she said pushing her hair behind her ear.

"I absolutely love it, Did you sleep ok jaan?" He asked her.

"Hmm I did" she said "and you.. I know Kittu wet the bed" Kartik didn't know what to say.

"It's ok these things happen" she said

"Hmm not my proudest moment as his daddy" he kissed the back of Kittu's head.

 you think I've never made a mistake as a mother, you live and learn babe" she held his hand

"You know I'm so proud of you, the way you are with him, and yesterday the way you handled him all on your own and took the responsibility of looking after him" she said  looking at her Kartik in admiration.

"Thank you jaan that means alot" she blinked and he held her hand and she intertwined their fingers, she leaned forward,  he angled his face to kiss her.

" I'm hungry" they both looked down.

"Of course Kittu ka breakfast, and Kartik you haven't eaten either baby chalo" She said he nodded and stood up carrying Kittu.

Kirti came and insisted to feed him, Kartik let her take him, they went to have breakfast, nani came and wanted to show something to Naira so she stayed.

"Aww Kittu kitna cute hai" 

"Yeah Kittu nai, Kartik hai jab Kittu ka umar tha" Naira smiled seeing his baby photo.

"Omg same to same" she said admiring the photo and took a click on her phone.  Kirti called her, Kittu is asking for his mumma, Naira went and helped her in feeding him. Kartik was really enjoying his nani's kanda poha, Naira finished feeding Kittu, and saw him happily eating, nani was pampering him, Naira was happy to see Kartik like this carefree.

"Baccho you have to go select your outfits for your functions, I'll look after Kittu you both go and also enjoy" she smiled carrying Kittu.

"Nani are you sure? Kittu is becoming a bit of a handful" said Kartik.

" haan nani we don't want him to trouble you" said Naira

"Mere pyare bacche we will be fine" she pressed Kittu cheek to hers.

Kaira smiled at her.

"Kartik, Naira we will leave in a little bit" said Kirti, they nodded.

"ok di" they smiled, Kittu was playing he even waved his mumma and papa bye, this made them feel relaxed he was really getting use to nani which put their minds at ease.

" you guys think what you both want to see each other wear" said Kirti as she turned into a road.

Kirti parked up. Kartik came out and he raced to open the door for Naira,he took her hand with a smile.

Kirti watched with a smile.
 
They reached the shop, it was big and exclusive, Kartik holding her hand walked in with her. Kirti went to talk to the manager as per nani's request.

'Kaunsa outfit will look good on my Kartik..'she said looking at him.

'He is so handsome anything would look good on him'

"Welcome to Mangalam we understand you know Geetanjali quite well, Kartik thought good nani didn't disclose he is her grandson.

"Yes that's right" he said, they were offered drinks and refreshments whilst they had a chat about what they wanted.

"ok so guys let's have you both measured up by my assistants this is Nisha you go with Naira and Gautam you take this young man's measurement. They got that done and then went on to to select each other's outfits for their 1st pre wedding ceremony, which is the mehendi and sangeet night.

"ok guys dekho kya pasand aye two outfits you can select for each other and one outfit keep it as a surprise" said Kirti.

"I trust your choice" she said sweetly to him.

"and I trust yours jaan" they got lost in each others eyes.

"ok love birds yeh sab baad mein" Kirti took Naira's free hand.

"So let's start with the mehendi one" said Kirti.

"Di, her mehendi outfit I want to give her a surprise and also haldi bhi" Naira blushed.

"Haan di same here" she said.

"ok so guys off you go, if you need my help I'll be here only" they both nodded, an assistant joined them both. Kartik looked at many outfits, then he saw one that stood out, and also the second outfit he chose without much help.

"ok yeh sab ko pack kardejiye" the man nodded

"I trust you will love my choices jaan" he said to himself

"these are perfect haina di" she said to Kirti.

"I'm sure bhai will love them Naira" Naira smiled

"Now I'm feeling excited" she said to herself.

"Oh ek cheez to Bhul gaya di ki help chaiye for this" he called Kirti.

"Yes bhai, show me your selection and we will see what jewellery goes with it" he nodded to his sister, this was something he wasn't sure in selecting properly. With her help he made a few selections.

"Ma'am kuch help chaiye" Naira was lost in the wedding outfits, they were sari types and suits, and the colours pink and red with white.

"Can you show me that one" the girl nodded and took down the hanger.

"It's beautiful I will wear red but will try this pink one too" she smiled taking several outfits to the fitting room.

"i wish i could ask Kartik his opinion I've tried 5 outfits already " she said looking down.

" ask jaan" she turned and saw Kartik

" tum yaha fitting room mein kya kare ho, koi ajayega" she said taking a step back.

" this is the best one jaan I can't wait to see you in this on the day" he cupped her face. She smiled, he brought his lips close to hers, she closed her eyes, where did he go.. she smiled in the mirror and realised she was day dreaming.

"Mein bhi na, but mujhe bhi yeh pasand aya" she heard a knock on the door.

"sorry Naira, bhai was taking forever to choose his outfit" Kirti got lost for words.

"Omg Naira you look out of this world bhai ki halat pata nai kya hogi when he sees you" Naira got shy.

" I like this one too, accha you can come help me select the jewellery" said Naira.

"great, once your ready let me know I'll just be outside" she left her to get changed.

"di, Naira arahi hai?" He asked as he had a surprise for her.

"Haan bhai, I'll help her select the jewellery then she is all yours" he nodded he went off and sat for a bit he also rang to see how Kittu is with nani, he was playing he was glad to hear that.

"Bhaiya yeh sab pack kardijiye" she said helping Naira with the outfit and jewellery boxes.

"Naira um bhai ka phone aya he is waiting for you outside"  said Kirti.

"ok di I will go see" she said. She went outside and saw Kartik.

"Kartik kuch kaam tha mujhe se" he got up and held her hand.

"Hmm come with me jaan" she nodded and they walked hand in hand, and came to a counter area. It was just them two he requested privacy for this moment.

"jaan aap select karo aap mera naam ka kaunsa mangalsutra pehna cha hogi" he said Naira felt her eyes well up she was overwhelmed with emotions.

"Yeh sab Kartik" he smiled, he held her hands taking her to a seat.

"Tum yaha betho" he sat her down and placed the mirror in front of her.

'Kartik is so romantic I'm so lucky, and we are choosing my mangalsutra together,then I remembered'

"Kirti di woh"

"She is waiting outside, even she knows this moment is special for the to be husband and wife" he kissed her cheek, and she smiled seeing them in the mirror. He briefly squeezed her waist, feeling his hand on her bare waist gave her a delicious shiver.

"Ek second jaan" he went, Naira was smiling to herself she was feeling a different feeling of  excitement to be his again.

"Yeh kaisa hai" he adorned her neck with a long chain" he tied it. She touched the pendant and smiled. He leaned his chin on her shoulder.

"It's pretty" she said

"There are others too" he said.

"I'll bring it, first I'll keep this one on the side" he went to open it..

"Its not opening, ek second jaan" he moved her hair to the front and attempted to unclapse it with his teeth, his one hand rested on her waist,  Naira couldn't concentrate all she could feel was the heat of his breath on her nape and his hand on her waist.
