"Kounsi shaadi bhai" asked Manish and Sirat ran from there. Kartik sighed in disappointment at his family's reaction. "Manish bahut bol diya" scolded his mum. "Sirat ruko" said Kartik. "Yay Ab Sirat meri mumma hai meri aur Akshu ki" said Kairav expressing his happiness.

Manish just rolled his eyes. "Yeh ladka pagal hogaya use copy ke piche woh Naira nahi hai" he yelled.

"Bas, bas bache hai yaha Manish bol ke sochna chaiye" said dadi.

Maaji Kairav ko sab kuch pata hai yeh sab unke samne hi hua tha" said Surekha.

"Kairav tumhe kya hogaya beta thodi din pehle Sirat aur tumhara woh bike buddy ke gun gare the beta" said Manish

"Haan dadu but My papa is the best for Sirat mumma always" he said with a smile then went over to Akshu who was in the play pen "Akshu tum bhi excited hona" he said. "Maa sach mein Sirat aur Kartik log kya bolengi" he commented.

"Sirat bas" he said seeing her in tears and walked over to her. "Sirat" he cupped her face. "Kyu ro rahi ho?" She removed his hands. "Na Kartik je thekh na hua hum ese shaadi ki" she got up and stood. "Thare papa to mareko je ghar se jane ko bole to mein..

"Sirat" he turned her to himself and held her waist. "Sab kuch acha ho jayega tum fikar mat karo" he said. "Sirat mumma?" Asked Kairav interrupting their moment. "Kairav" she said with a smile.

He came and hugged her."Aap dadu ki baat mat suno please mein and Akshu bahut khush hai" he said to her. Sirat smiled. "Kairav bilkul sahi bolra hai" he said holding his shoulders. "Toh Sirat mumma ap yeh room mein rahenge papa ke saath?" He asked her.

"Na na" She reverted. "Na na?" Asked Kartik "oi madam ab tum iss ghar ki?..

" laadu je tharese ke hogaya?" Maudi ask holding her stick, stood at the room doorway.
"Kariav bacha aap Akshu ko dekh ke avo hum abhi aate" said Kartik. "Ok papa" he said then left.

"Maudi mein.. she started "Maji mein aapki laado ko bahut khush rakhunga" said Kartik. Maudi looked at Kartik. "Je toh mareko pata hai chora par bhaag ke bhya je accha na laage ab sab Sirat ko dosh denge"

"Nai maaji ese mein hone nai dunga" said Kartik. "Maudi mein Kartik ke saath bahut khush hu" she said. "Laado Ranveer ko bata diya ke?" Sirat nodded "haan mane bata diya je mareko chahe hai par main na, woh bas mara bachpan ka dost hai aur Kartik" she turned to him. "Mara pyar" Kartik smiled at her whilst holding her hand. Maudi found herself smiling see the both of them.

"Mare toh je chora pehle se pasand ave hai" she smiled and Sirat and Kartik side hugged her. "Ab maaji hum chale aur celebrate karte hai, Sirat?"

"Hmm?" She asked

"Maaji ka favourite khane ke saath" said Kartik

"Burger" they said in unison and the three of them laughed. Maudi tapped Sirat and Kartik's cheek as they leaned in and squeezed her. "Tum dono khush raho" she said, giving her blessings.

Surekha witnessed all this from the doorway she shook her head then walked off. "Mein burger mangvata hu sab ke liye" said Kartik. "Na na mara match araha hai to mein je sab na kha saku" said Sirat.

Kartik nodded "haan tum nai kha sakti" he said. "Haan koi baat nai ab sab khavo" she reverted. "Papa dadi aapko aur Sirat mumma ko hall mein bulare hai" said Kairav. "Accha bacha hum are re hai" said Kartik. "Woh sab gusse hai meri laado se?" Asked a worried maudi.

"Nai dadi ko Sirat pasand hai pehle to humari hi shaadi hone wali thi" said Kartik. "Haan je sach hai '' commented Sirat, they both left with maudi in tow.

"Agaye unki bodyguards ko saath mein le kar" commented Surekha seeing seeing Sirat having Kartik on one side of her and maudi on the other. "Haan dadi" said Kartik but why has she called everyone to the hall. "Kittu ki patni ab Sirat hai aaj se woh yahi rahegi" said dadi. Manish sighed in anger "Aap bahut badi galti kar rahi ho maa"

"Manish bas yeh faisla hai aaj se woh Kittu ki kamre mein rahegi" said dadi. Maudi didn't know what to say seeing this.

"Aap ka matlab Naira ki kamre mein kyu maaji" said Surekha. Dadi just ignored her comment. "Surekha bas" said Suvarna."Kyu use bolne do sach hi to bolrahi hai woh Naira ka he kamra hai '' said Manish.

"Bas papa please aag kuch mat boliye" said Kartik then walked off in a huff. "Manish ab bas karo" said dadi she saw maudi she nodded. "Sirat Kittu ki patni hai aur hum sab khush hai" Maudi looked on with relief. Kairav went to Sirat "Don't worry Sirat mumma sab kuch theekh hojayega. She hugged Kairav "Akshu aap ke saath khelna chahte hai" he said. "Haan mari gudiya kaha hai" she said then went with him. "Alle, alle Akshu" she said bending down and carried her out of the play pen.

"Naira' said Kartik holding her photo. "I miss you tum kyu chali gai" he kissed her photo 'suno tumhari jaga koi nai le sakta" he said "haan Sirat hai meri life mein par woh.. bilkul alag hai tumse bahut alag thodi pagal hai, par bahut sweet bhi hai, humare bacche ko bahut pyaar karegi use maa ban ke aur Naira.. he continued to talk to her photo.

"Bas,bas Akshu chalo mein sula deti hu" she said then patted her back they reached her room and she was fast asleep. "Aree aap to nindiya rani ki godi mein hove" Sirat giggled then placed her in the cot.

Kartik wiped a tear then left his room. "Maudi aap khathe jare?" Asked Sirat seeing her bags. "Chhori ab je tara sa sasuraal hai aur mane mara ghar yaad ave" she said "par maudi" Sirat held her hand. "Maaji thode der rukh jao yeh burger to khaliji ye" said Kartik holding a bag.

"Chalo aur haan Sirat ka bilkul chinta maat karo mein unka pura khayal rakhunga" he said looking at her. "Haan chhora tu mari laado ki saath hai to mare koi chinta na hai" she said. Kartik smiled at them "Hum yaha khate hai chalo" he said sitting down but Sirat was still standing. "Sirat tumhare liya bhi hai behto" he said.

"Mein je sab na..

"Yeh special burger out fat free" he said her face lit up. "Sach?" She asked then sat next to him "do mareko" she said he chuckled and made her take a bite.

"Rukh" he said seeing the sauce on her lip he gently wiped it off with a tissue all witnessed by maudi who couldn't stop smiling she could see the care for each other in their eyelock. "Hmm ab theekh" he said Sirat smiled then they all continued to eat, on Kairat's request maudi decided to go tomorrow and stay one night.

It was night time Sirat just tucked Kairav in then left the room she then went to check on Akshu she smiled at her sleeping face. "Kitni kimat tum logi mere bete ki zindagi se jane ki?" Sirat turned Manish stood there with a cheque book. "Ke?" She asked "hmm Kartik bhatak gaya hai tum Naira ki copy ho woh tume pyar nai karta" Sirat took a deep breath.

"Mare koi paisa na chahe mara pyar par koi paisa kharred na sakta"

"1c, 10c kitna logi?"

Sirat's eyes widened at the amount he said. Kartik paced in his room he sat on the bed "oh no" he said then got up. Sirat walked and her mind thought all sorts of things 'Naira ka kamra hai par Kartik ne to mane bola tha ke mareko waha hi sona hai' she walked and came into the room.

"Kartik" she said backhugging him he turned holding her hands "Sirat" he said

"Haan kathe khogaye?" She asked as his expression was a bit puzzled. "Sirat aaj raat tum na maudi ke saath sojao woh kal jare haina to" he said. "Maudi ke saath?"  she asked?" and he nodded. "Haan to mein jare hu aathe good night" she said clearly upset.

"Ruko Sirat" he went and held her hands "Sirf aaj raat, kal raat tum yaha sovgi" he said and she nodded. He cupped her face and kissed her temple. 'Yeh Naira ji ka kamra hai' her mind reflected. "Ab tum kaha khogaye?" He asked after releasing her hands.

"Na na kuch na mein maudi ke paas jare" she said then left his room. Kartik sighed "yeh bed ko abhi tutna tha" he sighed looking at the frame. Sirat walked to maudi's room. 'Kal raat mein Kartik ke kamre mein rahungi par use kal bhi je boldiya ke tum kahi aur rahu je Naira ji ka kamra hai, na na humara bhya hua je mareko pyar karte hai' she reached maudi's room and went to sleep.

The next day everyone said bye to maudi and Kartik went to drop her off but first he dropped Sirat off to her practice. At home dadi was deciding to do something special for them. "Koi zaroorat nai hai" said Manish dadi huffed "tumhe kisne pucha tume nai ana to maat avo par yeh Kittu aur Sirat ke liye hai" said dadi.

Sirat just finished her practice. "Acchi thi practice?" He asked her as she sat in the car. "Hmm" she said. "Ok..sab kuch theekh hai?" He asked her. "Hai khatu maharaj" she said then got out of the car followed by Kartik. "Kaha jare ho" he said "Mara gloves mein undar bhul gaye" she said then left she inside and saw them in the locker that was in the changing room. "Mara gloves" she hugged them then left the changing room.

Sirat came out and her eyes popped out "Kartik!" She screamed seeing him on the floor in a pool of blood. "Kartik" she ran to him. "Ke hua thareko?" She cried "koi mari madat karo!!" She rubbed his chest and his eyelids fluttered. Two men came and called the ambulance.

Kartik was admitted and the some of the Goenkas reached shortly. "Kya kiya tune kya halat kar diya mere bete ki!" he shouted at Sirat. "Je theekh hai dr ne ke kaha?" She asked standing up just then the doctor came by. "Hello Kartik ki family koun hai?" Manish took over and took the doctor with him so Sirat can't be part of the conversation.

"Mareko ko koi kuch bata na raha mein unki patni hu" she said wiping a tear. She was feeling so alone the people who came to the hospital was Akilesh, Surekha and Manish.

S-sirat" he called whilst lying in the hospital bed "Kartik koi Sirat ka bula raha hai koun hai isse please jaldi blue yaha ?" Asked the dr, Manish shook his head and Surekha said she will call her.

"Chachi Kartik kese hai?" She asked waiting hoping for good news about her husband "Woh baar baar Naira ko pukar rahe hai" lied Surkeha to a shocked Sirat. "Naira ji ko?" She asked. "Haan Sirat" Surekha sat next to her and started poisoning her mind.
