“Soh rahi hai Sirat Marycom Kartik Goenka” 

“Kar..tik” she said, fluttering her lids. Seeing her awake his mind went into thoughts they were here outside his home but how was he going to explain about Sirat.

“Hum aapke ghar agaye?” She said sitting up and seeing Goenka villa.

“Haan, Sirat ab bahut ho gaya ab kuch nai chupana” 

“Haan par sab ko kese bolenge hum..” she held his hand feeling nervous all of a sudden.

“Sirat main hoon na mein sab kuch sambhalunga” 

“Haan Kartik” they hugged.

“Vansh chalo garden mein khelte hai” said Kairav.

“Kittu agaya” smiled dadi. He smiled and touched her feet. “Jeeta re” 

“Papa” smiled ,Kairav and jumped in his dad’s arms.

“Kaisa hai mera bacha” he hugged him.

“Kartik beta,” smiled Manish who came with Suvarna.

“Papa” he smiled, taking his and Suvarna’s blessings.

“Chalo Kittu kuch kha lo” said dadi.. Kartik refused because Sirat was outside in the car alone.

“Aap sab khalo mein..

“Kartik tu beht come we can catch up” said Manish.

“Papa aapko khana nai hai?” 

“Dekh beta..mein kaise bolu yeh pata nai..

“Kya hai papa kuch serious..aapki tabiyat toh theekh haina?”

“Haan beta, bas tume kuch baat karni thi..dekh abhi tum jawan ho and Kairav aur Akshu bhi..

“Papa” he stood up. “Aap mera rishta

“haan ek ladki hai bas mil lo bahut acchi hai usse bache bhi pasand hai

“Actually papa meri bhi choice hai” said Kartik.

“Kounsi choice?” 

“Surekha chachi” he smiled

“Shayad koi London mein mil gaye kyu bhaisaab” 

“Haan..mili thi koi London mein haan beta?” Asked Manish hoping this was true.

Kartik smiled “Haan mili thi actually mein use mere saath le kar aya hu” 

“Meri parlour ki sogand” they heard.

“Sheila behen aap yaha?” 

“Je chora ki baat sune mare woh je ladki ke baat kar re hove” 

“Please aap kuch mat boliye” said Kartik

“Kyu chora meri laado thare gaadi mein abhi mane dekh ke ayi je Sirat nai thi?” 

“Sirat?” everyone questioned

“Haan Sirat je koi London ki chori nai hai je,.maari lado hi hai” she laughed.

Sirat wondered what was taking so long she came out of the car. She walked up the steps.

“Je maari lado ache na hai je ghar ke liye” said Sheila, hearing her words hurt a lone tear escaped Sirat’s eye. 

“Aap aapki beti ke bare mein ese baat kese kar sakti hai” 

“Sun chora maari lado hai isliye je baat mein ke sakti hu..

“Kittu yeh yaha kya kar rahi hai? Sirat bhi aye hai kaha hai woh? Mein usse puchungi woh mere Kittu ko ese hospital mein chor ko kaise chali gayi” 

“Dadi woh sab chor do usski koi galti nai hai” 

“Nai Kartik dadi theekh bol rahi hai..” she said walking inside the hall.

“Maari laado” she went over and hugged her but Sirat stopped her.

“Aap ka natak yaha nai chalega” stated Sirat

“Je ke baat chori je ladka ke saath re ke tu uski bhasha bolne lagi ke shud hindi” she laughed.

“Aap bas jaaye yaha se please” she said with a hint of anger in her tone her hands folded.

“Papa, Sirat kyu aayi hai?” 

 Kairav sun bacha mein..” but he ran off 

“Mein dekhti hu” said Suvarna.

“Dekh laado meri baat sun tareko yaha kisi ki jarurat nai hai” 

“Pehli baar aap sahi bole” said Manish Sheela smiled. 

“Papa yeh aap kya bol re hai” he stood next to her.

“sach toh yeh hai ke Sirat meri patni hai” he held her hand “ aur ab aap sab ko yeh sach mana padega” said Kartik.

Sheela laughed “Chora je ladki” 

“Maafi chahta hu aap mujhe bade hai but meri patni ko sammaan se bulaye je ladki yeh sab nai uska naam Sirat hai” 

“Kartik please ab iss beauty parlour ese bol ke aap apne aab ko chota maat kare” 

“Bas bahut ho gaya Kartik yeh yaha nai rahegi iss that clear!” 

“No papa its not” 

“Dekho je chora kese baat kare hai apne baap se koi tameez-i” 

“Aap jaiye yeh hamara ghar ka apasi mamla hai” said dadi.

“To mein je chore ki kuch nai lagti?” 

“Nai lagti aap jaiye!” screamed Sirat but no one did so she left.

She wiped her tears as she walked down the steps.

“Yeh sab kya ho ra hai Kittu” said dadi.

“Dadi mein, Sirat ke paas jara hu” 

“Haan jao tumhara beta ko mein sambhalunga tum fikar maat karo” 

“Beta tum jao mein Kairav ke paas hu” said Suvarna.

“Thanks maa” 

“Suvarna tum” 

“Manish ji.. woh..Sheela ji please abhi bahut hua aap jaiye yaha se” 

“Ja rahi hu par aati rahungi je mari laado ka sasural hai” Manish rolled his eyes at her comment.

Kairat drove off.. throughout the drive Sirat was quiet. Soon they reached back to the flat.

"Ruko Sirat ro mat please" 

"Nai Kartik aap chodo. Mujhe yaha ana hi nai tha" 

“Ese kyu bol rahi ho"

“Kyunki aapke ghar wali mareko kabhi sweekaar nahi karenge” she sobbed.

"Sirat" he went to hold her but they fell on the bed with him on top.

"Tu mujhe pyar nai karti?" 

"Bahut karti hu" she said whilst holding his back.

"Toh phir, tum chinta mat karo mein tumhari family hu, mein tume bahut pyar dunga jaan" 

"Kartik, mujhe.. she hesitated in her words which was rare for her personailty.

"Haan bolo?" 

"Aap mujhe apna bana lo please mein tumhara pyar mehsoos karna chahti hu.." she opened his one shirt button.

He wiped her tears then leaned close and kissed her temple.  

“Sirat i love you” 

“I love you too” she said they both shared a sweet smile.

“Sirat..thoda wait karo jaan, dekh yeh room kuch sajhawat nai hai.. yeah tumhare liye special hona chaiye” 

“Sirf mere liye?” she asked in a cute tone.He tugged her chin.

“Hum dono ke liye” he said then pressed his temple to hers she massaged his nape.

He wanted to make her feel happy wholeheartedly. Right now the family was not accepting her and that was hurting him too.

“Ok Kartik ji” 

“Phir Se ji?” 

She bit her tongue “sorry Karteek” she stretched his name which he really adored they both laughed and then hugged.

“Chhe kab baj gaye” she said said seeing the clock.

“Pata he nai chala babu” they sat up on the bed.

“Kartik, Kairav mujhe nafrat karta hai” 

“Nai Sirat woh maan jayega” 

“Nai mana toh.. aap mujhe chod doge?” 

“Pagal ho tum..hmm?” He cupped her chin.

It hurt him seeing how insecure she was about herself that was all her mother’s fault Sirat never got the loving family she deserved.

“Nai Kartik mein aap aur aapke bache ke bich mein kabhi nai aungi mujhe..

“Shh bahot bolti ho tum.. mein tumse pyar karta hu Sirat please esa chodne ki baat yeh sab maat bol please” 

“Sorry..she held his wrist “ab nai bolungi” he took her in a hug.

“Kairav maan jayega.. he told her “pata hai Naira ke saath bhi esa hua tha” 

Then he narrated her the time he went to mumbai with Naira and they were living separately for a while.

“Bechari Naira ji, phir Akshu?” 

“Akshu ko meine dekha par Naira aur mein ..Akshu se kuch yaad aya” he said.

“Meine isse bahut miss kiya jab se wapas aye hu main usse dekha tak nai” she frowned.

“Haan jaanu, suno hame kuch khalete hai tume kya khana hai mein kuch order karta hu” 

“Mujhe chinese noodles woh khana hai” 

“Theekh hai mein order place kar deta hu” he said.

“Ab toh Akshu chalti hogi na” she smiled remembering her.

“Khadi re sakti hai..chalne mein time hai” he kissed her cheek.

“Mein khana le ke aata hu” he stood up.

“Mein bhi saath chalti hu” she held his hand.

He turned to her “Kyu mujhe abhi se miss karne lagi?” He said taking her in his arms.

“Kya aap bhi” she said with a giggle in a childlike tone.

“Mein bhi kya?” He asked, she encircled his neck.

“Aap ko late nai hora hai” she asked when he leaned close, pressing his nose to hers.

“nai jaanu..” he said softly then brushed his lips across hers. She sighed, parting her lips, their breaths mingled.

His hands caressed her exposed waist. “Kartik.. she said softly he caught her lower lip in his mouth and gently sucked it. She closed her eyes as she kissed his upper lip.

“Kittu ghar pe nai hai, Kairav kisi ko baat nai kare hai yeh sab kya ho raha hai Manish”

“Maa aap fikar mat karo Kartk jald ghar wapas aa jayenge woh bhi akele” 

“Aree woh dekho do i know my son or what?” 

Manished smiled seeing Kartik come through the door and that too alone.

“Kittu agaya” 

“Akal thekane agaye” Manish gloated. 

Kartik, ignoring his comment, walked past him. “Sorry dadi mera kuch re gaya yaha usse lene aya hu” 

“Kartik beta” smiled Suvarna he gave her subtle smile then walked off.

“Yeh wapas agaya bhaisaab?” 

“Haan Surekha” 

“Kairav toh ghar pe nai hai woh aur Vansh kisi school friend ke party mein gaye hai” said Surekha.

“Kartik..Akshu?” 

“Haan mein Akshu ko apne saath le ke jara ha hu” he said holding her close.

“Kya dimag kharab hogaya?” 

“Papa, Akshu meri beti hai mujhe kisi permission nai chaiye usse jaha le jana chata hu mein le ja sakta hu” 

“Haan par Kittu” 

“Dadi please aap mujhe maat bolo papa ko samjhaye woh iss mein galat hai” he said walking passed.

“Manish kuch karu esse Kittu ko..

“Maa, Kartik abhi nai sunega woh Sirat ne kaisa jaadu kar diya meri bete par ke woh” He sighed.

“Nai Manish ji iss baar  Sirat ki koi galti nai hai”

“Bas Suvarna aage maat bolo mujhe kuch nai suna” 

Meanwhile Sirat, kept replaying moments her and Kartik had just spent together she smiled and caressed her waist where he had kissed her.

She touched her neck where he had given her a love bite.  Her eyes clasped on the bed where he kissed her all over her exposed skin. They had rolled around locked in each other's arms. She heard a sound from behind. 

“Woh agaye?” She turned with a smile.

 “Thoda time lag gaya?” she grinned seeing him.

”Haan..Khana agaya aur..

“Akshu!” She squealed in glee. “Kartik Akshu?” 

“Dekho Akshu mumma” she smiled and went to Sirat.

“Kaise hai mari gudiya rani” she carried her from Kartik and hugged her.

Kartik grinned as she kissed her cheeks and hugged her repeatedly.

“Pata hai maine aapko bahut miss kiya” she said walking with her towards the bed.

“Aajao” she placed her on the bed then sat down with her. Akshu looked at Sirat

“Isse khaliya Kartik?” 

“Haan..aur Sirat Marycom hamara chinese agaya” he said, keeping it on the table.

“Haan mera bacha” she said playing with Akshu, Kartik smiled seeing the sight. 

Then he went and opened the takeaway package.

Akshu was having fun with Sirat.

“Muh kholo?” Said Kartik. 

“Aah.. she said and he fed her noodles. 

“Isse bhi chaiye..na baby yeh baby ke liye food nai hai abhi aap chote ho” she said.

“Dekho mere do babies?” Kartik smiled.

“Aap ke do babies? dusra kaun je?” 

“Ek yeh maharani” he kissed the top of Akshu's head.  “aur ek”..  je maharani” he said, kissing Sirat’s cheek.

“Kartik bachi ke samne ab yeh sab..” she got shy. He chuckled softly.

“Akshu chalo bacha..Sirat mumma ko khane do” he said taking her he kissed her cheek then placed her on the floor with her toys. He kept pillows around her so she wouldn’t wonder off.

They both ate dinner and the table at the same time kept an eye on Akshu.

"Jaanu"

"Jaanu..Haan..actually Kartik mujhe bhi kuch pyara sa name bulane chaiye aapko jaise aap bolre ho"

"Akshu kaise dekh rahi hume" he smiled.

“Sirat it's ok na ke Akshu ko yaha le aya aur..

“Ek puncheshwar du?” 

(Comical plays in bg)

“Kyu meine kya kya?” He asked in a panicked tone he didn’t want a puncheshwar. She shook her head.

“Dekh hum dono ko bhi time spend karna chaiye iss liye tume bura toh nai laga?” 

“Haan..sach bolo toh mujhe thoda bura laga Kartik” she told him.
