They all are having fun at the haldi ceremony. Naina! Come with me, Naina's mom says taking her aside. Kya baat hai maa! Naina asks. What are you doing? Her mom scolded her. What do you mean, Naina asked. For God shake! Can't you be a little reserved. Who is going to marry you if you behave like All zalli! Her mom scolds her. Maa! Don't start it again please, Naina said closing eyes. Then behave properly, Her mom says and she sighs.

Mrs. Awasthi! Here you are, The lady said approaching them. Hello Mrs. Thapar, Purnima said smiling. Is she your daughter? mrs. Thapar asks looking at Naina. Yeah! My youngest, Naina, Purnima said. Namste aunty ji! Naina Greets her politely. What a lovely girl! Oh let me introduce you to my son, Mrs. Thapar said and Naina looked at her mom.

How about we let them talk alone mrs. Awasthi! Mrs. Thapar asks. Sure! You guys talk! Purnima said eyeing at Naina. Naina looked at her mother surprisingly as she walked away.

Later at night, What the hell have you said naina! Purnima angrily asked after taking Naina at the terrace unaware Ekansh quietly enjoying his drink behind the water tank. I have told you so many times maa! Don't arrange any blind date for me, Naina said. You are already past 20 Naina. Shadi ki umar ho gyi hai tumhari Kab tab main sab ko jawab dungi, Purnima said. Jawab hi kyun Dena hai maa! Aur kya chahti hai aap, logo ka muh band karwane ke liye kisi se bhi shadi karlu? Naina asks.

Women have to compromise on things Naina! You can't always get it all. Aur Agar tu aise hi nakhre krti rhi toh Milne se raha tuje accha ladka! Purnima said. Ha toh nahi karni muje shadi, Naina said. Kya nahi karni shadi! Tuje pata bhi hai log kesi kesi bat krte hai tere bare me, Purnima said. Toh bat ye hai! Saf saf bono na aap logo ko mera character certificate Dena chahte ho shadi karvake. Waise bhi log kya khenge Usi ki parwah hai aapko. Me kya chahti hun, me khush hu ya nahi, jiyu ya maru usse kya fark pdta aapko! Naina said and got a hard slap in return.

Ekansh's eyes widened on hearing it while Naina looked at Purnima with welling eyes being disheartened. I'm sorry! I didn't mean to, Purnima said getting close to her realising her actions but Naina stepped back. Just leave! Naina said and Tears rolled down her eyes. Naina! I'm really sorry beta, Purnima said. Just leave if you don't want everyone to know about it! Naina yelled and Purnima walked away down heartedly.

😭

Naina cries her heart out unaware of Ekansh's presence. Ekansh also stayed quite the whole time as he didn't want her to embarrass knowing his presence. Naina's sobs gottan light and after a while it's all silence. Ekansh found naina fell asleep while crying. He saw slap marks and dried Tears's trace on her cheeks. He covered her with his jacket and sat beside her maintaining some distance. He realised how much she is struggling with herself, with her family and still stood strong. He holds both admiration and pity for her in his eyes.

Naina woke up after a while and saw Ekansh beside her. Mr. Rathore! Naina surprisingly said and looked around. She took relief breath seeing herself on the terrace. Ms. Awasthi has a very bad habit of sleeping anywhere without any worry, Ekansh said. It's not like that! Naina said looking down. I'm sorry! Ekansh said and Naina looked at him. I misunderstood you that day! Ekansh said. It's alright! Let by gone by gone, Naina said. Ekansh gazes at her.

Normally people explain themselves when someone misunderstood them, Why did you remain silent? Ekansh asked. You are not my friend or family that I needed to give explanation. my friends knows well what kind of person I am and others always have something to talk, so I don't give fuck about it, Naina said and. Ekansh chuckled on hearing her. Naina surprisingly looks at him seeing a smile on his face.

There are rare women like you in our business world who stand on her grounds firmly. Some either sway away by the pressure of family or talks of the business world. So hold your attitude well and stick to your grounds no matter what. It's the only way to survive in this world, Ekansh said and smile curved on Naina's lips. Thank you for your advice Mr. Rathore! Naina said. My friends call me Ekansh, Ekansh said forwarding hand for a shake, and my friends called me Naina, Naina said and both shake hands while smiling.

let me drop you at your room, Ekansh said as they reached their wing. Don't worry! I won't make the same mistake twice, Good night! Naina said smiling. Good night, Ekansh said smiling and went inside his room.

Where the hell have you been! Aur phone kaha hai tera,Vikram asks ekansh as he steps inside his room. What happened! I was on the terrace. aur tu mere kamre me kya kar rha hai! Ekansh asked him. Let's have a drink, Vikram said. Ask Agasthya, I want to sleep, Ekansh said yawning. Yaar he is with aarya, Vikram said. Toh tu bhi ja na Teri wali ke pass, tere pas bhi toh Biwi hai, Ekansh said. Tara ne muje kamre se bahar nikal diya,Vikram said pouting. Ab kya kiya tune, Ekansh asked raising eyebrow and Vikram told him how he annoyed Tara and she kicked him out. You deserve it, Ekansh said While laughing. Vikram surprisingly looks at him as he sees him smiling whole heartedly after ages. Vikram didn't ask him or say anything as he knows he will get serious again.

Both talked for a while and Vikram went to his room knowing his wife will be calmed now. He smiled widely as Tara opened the door for him. Both sleep hugging each other knowing they can't live without each other.
