Two weeks have passed by, Naira is trying to spend as much time she can with Karthik, she visits the office, started going to Maheshwari House every alternate day, she wants that Karthik's mind is only filled with their happy memories, that even his unconscious mind should not have a single image of his past. That even those little memories that are deep down causing those nightmares, should also be erased. Her attempts were being successful. In these two weeks Karthik had only once had those nightmares.

Naira had come to office, she went directly to Karthik's cabin since Naitik was at some meeting and Naksh was in Krishna. Entering the cabin silently she noticed that his face was turned to the other side, she slowly tip toed and wrapped her hands on his eyes from the back.

"Agayi Sherni", he said with a smile. Naira removes her hand. He turns around to see her pouting.

"Tum ne kaise jaan liya mein hun", she asked in a cute way.

"Tab hi jaan gaya tha jab tum ne yeh darwaza khola, tab hi ehsas ho gaya tha tumhare anne ka.", he said romantically.

"Acha", she questioned trying to smile

"Aur nahi toh kya, tumhari sansein tumhare dil ki dhadkan, tumhara saiya, tumhare kadmon ki ahat, sab ki pehchan hai mujhe", he said lovingly. Naira broke into a smile and kissed his cheeks and forehead.

"Yeh kyun", Karthik questioned.

"Bass tum par bahut pyaar araha tha", Naira answered smiling.

"Waise madam ko bahut zyada pyaar aaraha hai mujh par aaj kal. Itna time spend kar rahi ho, achanak se kya hogya. Waise jo bhi ho I am loving it, I want to spend each and every single moment of my life with you", he spoke bringing their faces close together, so that their nose and foreheads were touching.

"Mera boyfriend bahut pyaara hai, issi liye mujhe uss par bahut pyaar aata hai", she smiled and kissed his nose and then pressed it as if it was a button, he made a face and she giggled.

-------------------------------------

As they walked out of the office Kaira noticed a lady scolding a child. Naira recognized that lady as, the wife of their manager. When Kaira talked to them the got to know from the lady that she and her son had come shopping near by but then her son left all of a sudden without saying a word to meet his father and when she saw the boy missing she got worried. Kaira asked the child not to wander away like that and left.

---------------------------------------

Karthik entered Maheshwari House to find Varsha scolding Kuhu for getting bad scores in a test and the teachers complaints.

-----------------------------------------

At night Karthik was remembering the office incident the lady and child, Varsha and Kuhu, though Varsha and that lady were right in their place still those things were very unsettling for him, he wasn't feeling good thinking about it. He could hear screaming and yelling in his head, things like you are useless, if you were not there my work would be easily done, he was not getting from where all these things are coming in his mind. He wasn't getting any sleep, he wanted to call Naira and talk to her let out whatever there is in his head but he saw that it was 2 am already so he decided against it not wanting to wake her.

----------------------------------------------

Next day Karthik came to Singhania mansion to handover a file, since Naitik needed it urgently but wasn't able to come to office.

"Karthik kya hua tumhari ankhein laal kyun hai", questioned Naitik, Naira who was talking to Akshara standing close to the dining area heard Naitik and went up to Naitik and Karthik and noticed his red eyes.

"Kuch nahi hua sir bas kal raat need nahi ayi", Karthik said casually.

"Beta aise purr raat nahi jaggte, apna khyal rakhna", Akshara explained sweetly and Karthik gave her a smile.

"Papa mujhe academy ke kaam se janna hai tho Karthik ke saath chali jao", asked Naira

"Haan princess, Karthik tum usse le kar jao", Naitik said

--------------------------------------------

"Karthik sab thek hai right", Naira asked during the bike ride.
"Haan aisa kyun phuch rahi ho", Karthik asked
"Phir kal raat neend kyun nahi ayi, kahi phir se nightmares, tum ne mujhe promise kiya ke tum mujhe bataoge", Naira said
"Nightmares anne ke liye sonna bhi zarrori hai lekin kal raat neend hi nahi aarahi thi", Karthik answered
"Toh wohi mein puch rahi thi", Naira said
"Woh kal jo kuch bhi hua", Karthik told Naira how yesterday's events kept roaming in his mind.
"Raat ko mujhe phone kyun nahi kiya", she asked
"Der ho chuki thi bohot tum so gayi hogi", Karthik replied
"Karthik gaadi roko", Naira ordered and he stopped, she got down
"Kya kaha uss din tum ne mujhe, bina baath ke pareshan nahi hoge agar kuch hai mujhe se share karoge, promise kiya tha. Aise nibhate ho apne promise. Agar mein tum se nahi puchti tho shayad tum an bhi nahi batate.", Naira said hurt
"Sorry ne mein bas itni raat ko bewajha tumhe uthana nahi chata.", he said sweetly
"Okay, but you will keep your promise", Naira said. 

------------------------------------------ 

Naira reached home and immediately went to her room, though she didn't show it to Karthik she was extremely disturbed.

"Sab kuch itne acche se chal raha tha, Karthik ko nightmares kaam anne lagge, woh uss sab ke barien mein kam sochne lagga, lekin kal uss ne jo kuch bhi dekha, phirse past ki batein kahi na kahi yaad ayi", she spoke to herself.

"Kya karegi tu Naira, jitna waqt to uss ke saath spend kar sakti hai karegi, lekin duniya se usse kaise bachayegi, uss ke ass pass cheezien hongi jo uske adet ko uss ke samne laata rahega. Kya karogi tum, usse ghar par bandh kar nahi rakh sakti tum, kaise bachogi usse, kiss kiss se bachogi",  her inner conscience asked.

"Mein karungi, jitna kar paun, protect karungi", she said to herself.

-----------------------------------------

Time flew by it was nearly three months. Naira was always around Karthik as much as she could be, if they saw anything which she felt could revive his old memories even the slightest bit, she would divert his attention.

----------------------------------------

"Karthik beta ajao andar", Akshara said seeing Karthik at the door

Akshara smiled seeing Karthik looking all around

"Agayi tumhari Naira", Akshara said pointing at the staircase.

"Nehi ma'am mujhe aap se hi baath karni thi", Karthik said and Akshara gave him a look

"Actually sab se", Karthik said

"Aisa kya hua beta", Akshara asked

"Woh friends ne ek reunion party rakhi hai, jisme humein apne partner ke buliya hai, reunion Delhi mein hai. Agar app sab permission de aur Naira janna jahe", Karthik asked nervously.

Akshara looked at Naira and she blinked her eyes. Akshara asked the other family members in signs.

"Tum le ja sakte ho Naira ko", said Akshara.

"Haan lekin meri princess ka khyal rakhna", Naitik said.

"Mein bahut khyal rakhunga", Karthik assured.

------------------------------------

It was the day of the reunion, though the reunion was in the evening, they had reached Delhi by noon as Naira wanted to visit the Ashram where Karthik was bought up and spend some time there. Karthik was very touched that she wanted to do that.

"Karthik bhaiya", a little girl yelled as Kaira walked in the orphanage doors. She ran and wrapped her arms around Karthik's knees. Karthik picked up the child and kissed her cheek.

"Bhaiya aap itne din baad aye apko pata hai sab ne apko bahut miss kiya.", said the girl

"Kanak, baqi sab kaha hai", asked Karthik

"Woh kahana kah rahe hai, mera finish hogaya tha", Kanak answered cutely

Kanak pushed Karthik's hand down indicating that she wanted to stand on the ground. She then went to Naira.

"Aap kaun hai", Kanak asked Naira.

"Yeh Naira Di hai", Karthik replied.

"Apki Di", Kanak asked and Karthik's eyes widened.

"Tumhari Di hai", he replied almost immediately..

"Di ya bhabhi", Kanak enquired.

"Apki honne wali bhabhi", answered Naira and Karthik smiled.

"Anjali, Sayali, Avanti Di, Kabir, Abhi, Shiva Bhai, sab ao Karthik bhaiya aye hai, humari honne walli bhabhi ke saath", Kanak screamed as loud as she could and almost immediately many kids came in and surrounded Kaira.

Kaira played and had a lot of fun with the kids.
