"Nai Kartik yeh sab" she removed his hands off her. He turned her by the shoulder towards him.

"Sirat kya hogaya tujhe tu sab kuch bhul gaye?" He asked. Sirat kept quiet.

"Jaanti ho jab mein hospital se discharge hua tab mujhe tumhara chehra dehkhna tha par tum toh"

"Kartik please ab age kuch mat boliye" she said.

"Please aap ghar jao" she said to him again.

"Iss liye to aya hu tumhe ghar le jane keliye"

"Sirat" he pulled her close. "Hua kya tha tune mujhe abhi tak nahi bataya"

Sirat's fb

"Sach surekha auntie Kartik Naira ji ko iss had se pyar karte the ke unhone apni zindagi baar baar dau pe lagadi"

"Haan isliye tum Kartik ke pyar mein mat pado woh Naira ko abhi bhul nai paya tum apni zindagi mein focus karo sach beta tum khush rahogi" Sirat wiped her tears.

"Par Kartik woh behosh hai mein bas usse ek baar baat karlu to..

"Kya Sirat abhi to tumne phesla banaya aur ab" Sirat nodded then left from there.

Fb ends

"Sirat?"

"Hmm? Nai aap Naira ji ke hai mein beech mein agaye" she said.

"Sirat, Naira ab nai rahi mein..

"Mein woh nahi ban sakti aab ke liye Kartik!" She said, pushing him away.

"Kya maine kab kaha ke tume Naira ki jaga lene ki? Uski jaga koi nai le sakta" he said and Sirat nodded.

"Mujhe pata hai Kartik tum aur Naira ji ek duje ke liye bane the '' she said.

"Sirat bas ab bahut ho gaya ab Naira ki baat mat karo woh yaha hai mere dil mein aur hamesha rahegi" he said.

"Haan toh aap yaha kyu aye ghar chale jaye kyunki mein Naira nai hu" he nodded.

"Tum Sirat ho mujhe achi tarah se pata hai" he said. "Par Sirat jab tum mujhe mile mein tumse pyar karne laga tumhe yeh baat to pehle se pata hai" he said with soft eyes.

"Nai Kartik yeh nai hosakta" she moved away from him.

"Okay fine bas bahut ho gaya haad hoge!" He said in an angry tone.

Sirat turned around she had never seen him like this.

"Sab mujhe chod ke kyu chale jaate? pehle maa, phir Naira aur ab tum" he walked back  "Main bahut akela ho gaya" he cried sagging down against her bed.

Sirat saw him hug his knees looking so vulnerable, a side she had never seen. She felt bad and went next to him.

She placed her hand upon his shoulder.
"Tum akele nai ho tumhare paas Kairav, Akshu, dadi pura parivaar  hai"
"Hmm par tum nai ho Sirat. Meri biwi nai hai" he looked at her face but she looked down "Humne shaadi kyu ki?" He asked her she sighed and looked at him.

"Kyunki hum ek dusre se pyar-

He started coughing badly. "Kartik tum theekh hona ha?" But he kept coughing. "Mein paani le ke aati hu" Sirat quickly left the room and got him a glass of water then returned to the room.

"Lo aram se peo" he started drinking the glass from her hand and she rubbed his back. "Aap theekh hai?" He nodded.

"Thank you gala sukh gaya tha" he reverted.

"Ab theekh ho?" She asked him and he nodded. "Toh ab tum mujhe pyar nai karti?" Sirat sighed.

"Bolo Sirat mujhe aankhe kyu chura rahi ho, Naira ne bhi kaha mujhe ke mein move on karo"

"Kartik please mujhe kuch umeed mat rakho"

"Toh mein Ranveer ko call karu?"

"Ranveer ko kyu?"

"Woh banda tumhe jaan se pyar karta hai"

"Kartik aap chup ho jao Ranveer ko kyu isme be waja la rahe ho jab aapko pata hai mein use esa wala love nahi karti" Kartik nodded.

"Yeh bhi theekh hai" he said. Sirat kept looking down.

Sirat tum mujhe pyar karti ho?" He asked her.

"Kartik..ab kya farak par ta hai"

"Mujhe par ta hai Sirat" Sirat kept mum which gave him his answer he  dropped one knee on the floor whilst the other remained rooted.

He cupped her face. "Jaanu" he looked into her eyes and Sirat stared into them. "Bolo" he whispered, then did what his heart wished. Sirat's heart rate shot up when he kissed the side of her neck.

Sirat didn't stop him so he cupped the other side and kissed her neck. "Kartik" she said in a low tone, falling weak. "Sirat" he said looking at her lips.

Sirat found herself doing the same, he placed her hands around his neck and she didn't remove them this time. He stood up holding her in bridal style and they had a beautiful eyelock between them.

Seeing how close they were getting she felt a wave of consciousness. "Kartik mein.. he saw the doubt in her eyes and let her down from his arms.

"S-sorry Sirat" he said then turned away.

"Kartik mera jawab haan hai" she said to which he turned. "Mein tum se hi pyar karti hu aur humesha karungi" she admitted.

"Sirat" he said and went to take her in a hug. "Na na Kartik haan i love you par mujhe waqt chaiye" she told him. He nodded

"Theekh hai toh mein chala jata hu jab tumhara call ayega mein wapas lot aunga" he reverted.

"Haan theekh hai aap kya abhi jare ho mera matlab itni raat hogaye hai to ab"

"Haan tum fikar mat karo ponch ke mein tumhe call karunga" he said.

She nodded "apna khayal rakhna" she said to him.

"Hmm tum bhi" he said feeling disheartened from leaving her.

"Bye" she said but he turned away and opened the door.

"Kartik" she called so he turned and found her behind him. Her expression a bit nervous "bhul na mat mujhe call karna ghar ponch ke" he nodded and she kept her arms around his shoulders and took him in a hug.

"Aur bache ko mera pyar dena" Kartik wrapped his arms around her and rested his chin on her shoulder.

Like this

They hugged each other lovingly. He turned his head and  Inhaled her fragrance.

He then cupped her face and kissed her temple. They said bye and he left from there. After his car left the area Sirat went back to her room and sobbed in her pillow.

"Mein pagal hu kya mein Kartik ko apni jaan se pyar karti hu aur usse meine bhej diya ghar. She sniffed then sat up "Kya hogaya hai tumhe Sirat Marycom Goenka" she said sitting up. "Haan mein Goenka hu Sirat Kartik Goenka mujhe usko ese bhej na nai tha" she said then punched the pillow and cried a little more into it then eventually fell asleep.

Once Kartik reached home he didn't tell anyone where he went he just said it was business related."Kairav bacha yaha aajo" Kartik sat him next to him.

"Aapko Sirat ki yaad ati hai?" He asked his son. "Nai papa woh achi nai hai aapko hospital mein milne bhi nai aye" he said.

"Bacha woh-

"Aur mujhe aur Akshu ke chod ke chali gayi" he said feeling sad.

"Beta woh wapas ay-

"No papa i don't like her aur mujhe uski koi baat nahi karni 1st mera mumma chali gaye god ke paas phir Sirat mumma ghar chod ke woh meri aur Akshu ki care nai karti papa" Kartik sighed.

"Beta suno usme tumhari Sirat mumma-

But before Kartik could complete his sentence Kairav left the room refusing to listen. "Sirat mujhe maaf kardo mein.. then he stood up "oh no maine text nai bheja woh bechari parishan hogi'' he quickly sent her a text then went to bed.

The next morning the elderly lady and her husband were asking her where Kartik went.

"Raj nai nazar aara ha" said the man.

"Haan beta kaha hai" said the lady she had grown quite fond of him.

"Aunty woh wapas unke ghar chale gaye" Sirat replied, mixing the food in her plate.

"Chale gaye" said the aunty in a sad tone. She tried to get Sirat to talk but she would not. Now Sirat felt guilty about everything. "Uska naam Raj nahi hai aur mera naam Simran nahi hai woh hai Kartik aur mein mera asli naam hai Sirat. Maine aap dono se jhooth bola unki maafi chahti hu"

The couple nodded exchanging a look.

"Sirat boxer wali?" Asked uncle and she nodded

"Koi baat nai beta tumahari kuch mujboori hogi"

"Haan aunty Kartik mere pati hai par usme bhi mera kuch personal mamla hai mein nahi chahti thi ke koi mera naam jane mein nayi shuruwaat chahti thi par esa ho nai paya Kartik ne mujhe dhoodh liya" she said.

"Kartik accha nai hai usne tumhe parishan to nai kiya" asked uncle. "Haan beta shakal se to bahut accha lagta hai"

"Lagta nai hai hai he bahut acche aur mujhe bahut pyar karte hai" she said, clearing up their misconception of him. The couple sighed in relief then Sirat told them why she left.

Kartik got a chance to look at his phone but there was no return text from Sirat. "Come on Sirat aur kitna time chaiye tumhe" he said, feeling disappointed by her lack of communication.

Just then Akshu was stirring on his bed he went over and patted her head lovingly putting her back to sleep.

A few days past and Sirat had not called him. That did upset him greatly so he started to go office everyday and bury himself with work.

"Manish Kittu jabse wapas aya hai bahut khoya khoya nazar araha hai" said dadi.

"Nai esa kuch nai hai maa kaam mein bahut stress hai naya project ko lekar. Said Manish and ended the discussion.

Sirat was busy with a big order the flourist received.

"Bahut accha kiya beta" aunty hugged her.

"Surprise!" They heard and uncle and aunty's face lit up.

"Beta tum agaye" said the aunty and hugged her son.

"Yes mom mein agaya par ek second yeh hai let me guess Simran am i right?" He said looking at her from across the room.
