Hi Everyone! Sorry for disappearing. I had a great Eid! Hope you all had a great time too. I am back with a new chapter today. 

I wrote earlier that both kartik and Naira are cardiologists. I am changing Kartik to be a Orthopedic Surgeon and Naira to be a Cardiac Surgeon. Due the study time requirement in USA, I didn't want them to be surgeons. Now I have my reasons and can manage the time. Hope there wouldn't be any confusions.

Naira walked inside the Goenka Villa early in the evening. Nandita, the caretaker had informed her that Swarna wasn't well. After making sure that all her patients and duties are taken care of, Naira rushed back home. Before she can go upstairs, Nandita gave her updates about every member of the family. They already had their diner and were well settled for the night. Even Manish was back and has been taking care of Swarna. Naira felt relieved, but when asked about diner she just refused to have it. Straight she went to her Ma and Pa's room. She found Swarna asleep and Manish busy with some files. After greeting him goodnight, she headed to her room. Nope! His room, which was supposed to be their once!

Stepping inside, Naira took a thorough look at the room. Something that she does every time she stays over at the Goenkas. The room was filled with their memories. Their pictures, family pictures and some best moments of their lives. It was part of the surprise that he had been planning since the time both the families had started their wedding preparations. Sighing, she moved to get something from the closet for the night. There again she couldn't do anything, but stare at the view. She touched their clothes that were hanging inside the closet side by side. While her hands were touching those lifeless fabrics inside the closet, her thoughts took her to a world, where they were together and happy....

It was a beautiful night. Under the open sky two lovebirds were lying on the bonnet of their car while gazing at stars. Kartik's one hand was behind his head and another was stretched out for Naira to lay her head over it comfortably. After some time, Naira snuggled closer to Kartik and kept her head over his chest while her left hand clutched the thin fabric of his shirt tightly. Immediately his free hand went onto encircling her waist in an attempt to hold her closer to him. Once he realized that she wouldn't start the conversation, he asked her "Kya hua hai Jaan?". Naira just closed her eyes tighter and made her hold on his shirt firmer. She told him softly "I just want to stay like this". Kartik smiled at her cuteness and thought not to disturb her until she is ready to speak.

After good 15 minutes Naira opened her eyes and brought her head up to check on Kartik. His eyes were closed with a peaceful smile playing on his lips. She put her head back on his chest and thought not to ruin the moment with whatever thoughts that has been clouding her mind since last few days. It was just a bad dream and she has been overthinking it, finally she concluded. While playing with his shirt button, Naira spoke "Why don't you let me come into your room nowadays, whenever I visit Goenka Villa?". Kartik knew this is not what that has been bothering her, but decided not to push it. He just tightened the grip on her waist, to let her know that he was listening to her. She made a pout and voiced out her concern further "Jabse wedding preparation shuru hui hai tabse!". His answer was very simple "In a matter of month, the room will be all yours. I am no one to stop you". A smile crept upon her beautiful face listening to him, but she needed to know about his plans. She told him in a protesting tone "Not your or mine, but our room Mr. Goenka".

Without looking at him, she knew he is having this smirk on his face. When no reply came, she continued with her queries "What are you planning? Trying to hide things from your to be wife! Are we?". He thought to tease her "If you already know that I am planning something special and trying to keep it a secret from you, why are you hell bent on ruining the surprise Naira?". She complained like a kid "This is not fair. First you stop me from coming to our.." She paused for a moment realizing what she was saying and continued "I mean your room and then don't give me a valid reason also". Kartik sighed finding her impatient "You don't have to be embarrassed Jaan. What is mine; is yours. As much as the room belongs to me, it belongs to you. It is our room! Now the reason I don't let you come in because when you first step inside that room after our wedding, I want you to feel that nothing has changed. You are leaving behind everything for me. So I want to give you a small world of ours, where you feel at home".

Naira felt overwhelmed with his love, she choked on her words "But Kartik you don't have to. All I want from life is to be with you. Together with you, this life will be wonderful and I will be at home". Kartik's hand was now rubbing her arm to console her "I want to Naira. I want to do this for you. God has given me the best gift of my life and that is you. Together we will have a wonderful life, I know. But I also know it is not easy for you to leave your parents or the house, where you were born and have memories. It's not to make you feel better, but I am doing this for you out of love. I will be waiting for you in that small world of ours. Know this, only when you come in there, I will be complete". Naira had tears of happiness in her eyes. She couldn't thank God enough to give this man in her life. She just mouthed, "I love you" to which he reciprocated happily "I love you too" while kissing the top of her head.

Kartik knew she became very emotional after their talk. So to get back his Sherni, he stated with irritation "Ok fine! Bata dunga plans, if you insist so much!". And it worked, Naira instantly asked "Toh bataona?". He smiled knowing his attempt was successful. Before telling her he made sure not to reveal everything "But pura nehi. Just part of it. Done?". She sulked in return "It's not like I have an option. Now tell me". Kartik shifted his position a bit and again put his hand around her waist. He spoke with a victorious smile "That's like my girl. Now you remember, last few days I have been going out of hospital during lunch breaks?". She made a face "Yeah! And not having lunch with me of course". He just shook his head "Yes and that's why you made me eat twice the amount in dinner. Well I have been going to shopping". Within a moment Naira's head shot up to look at his face. Kartik rolled his eyes and gave her a look that said, "Dare you move and ruin my comfort". Knowing what his look meant really well, she went back to put her head on her favorite spot again.

Once he felt satisfied, he answered her unasked question "What you are thinking is right. I went to shop for you and finally I am done organizing our closet". In her mind, she thought her Kartik is so cute and the best husband to be. Still just to trouble him and have some fun, she asked in a miffed tone "Mujhe kyun nehi apne saath le gaye? Mere liye shopping ki toh mujhe le jana chahiye tha na? Otherwise hum shaadi ke baad kaar lete na! Aur phir there was no need for you to buy. What am I going to do with so many clothes? Achha kharid liya toh theek hai, aab hum wapas toh nehi kaar sakte. Now tell me, why didn't you take me along? You know I am so..." She was going on and on, when he ended up saying "shhosh! Kitna bolti ho. Kabhi saanse bhi liya karo! Now coming back to your questions. First of all, I bought those for my wife and even she doesn't have the right to stop me. It's my right. Meri biwi meri marzi". He said the last sentence with a very serious and possessive tone. Naira smiled with his simple yet bold answer.

He continued, "Secondly even if I had taken you, everything would have been of my choice. Since the time we have come into each other's lives, in fact when we were just friends and didn't confess, even then you would buy stuff of my choice" Before he could continue further, Naira stated with a huge smile "And you would buy of mine". Now it was his turn to smile. With a huge grin on his face, he spoke "Exactly! Aur mein kia bewoof hoon jo shaadi ke baad biwi se romance na karke, shopping mein le jao. After wedding, at least for a month no work and no shopping. Baas you and me locked in a room". Naira just turned red in embarrassment and hid her face more into his chest. Now he brought his other hand from under his head and held her in his embrace completely. He whispered in her ear "Sherni sharmati bhi hai!". She couldn't take it anymore and tried coming back to her Sherni mood "Shut up Mendak! Stop teasing me!". He couldn't stop cooing "aww my blushing Sherni. I love this side of yours". She warned him "Mendak!". When he didn't stop, she tried to get out of his grip. Kartik being Kartik; didn't budge and made his grip on her even tighter "Don't try to get away from me ever. You know better than this". His tone had a hint of warning.

Naira stated in disbelief "kitni kharab ho na tum?". He declared it to her proudly "Aab jo bhi hoon tumhara hoon". She couldn't help but smile "Wo toh hai, sirf my Mendak". With that he confirmed "Now don't think that I will leave you alone after our wedding. Neither you, nor this topic. Samjhi!". Sensing the attitude in his tone, she just shook her head but couldn't keep away the blush that crept up on her face. Since they were discussing about their lives after marriage, he thought to ask her now "So, should we get a new name plate for you?". For a moment, she became perplexed. Then it hit her and she played along "Hmmm, I think we should. What should be the name though?". Kartik's reply came instantly "Of course Dr. Naira Mendak Goenka". Naira laughed internally while speaking "Right! Then we should get one for you too". This time Kartik asked with confusion "For me?". She just nodded her head in positive. He inquired further "And what would that be?" Naira happily replied "Dr. Kartik Sherni Singhania". With that both of them burst into laughter.
