Kaira were still in the medical room since Kartik was told to take rest by the nurse.. they were talking about some random stuffs.. umm.. no actually they were talking less and Naira scolding him more for getting into fight with someone..

After a while..

Naira : Accha sun tu ghar chal..

Kartik : Kiske ghar??

Naira (sarcastically) : Apne ghar jaa.. ok..?? Jaa apne ghar jahan pe koi nahi hoga..
Kya bakwas kar raha hai.. obviously mere ghar chalega naa tu..

Kartik : Accha thik hai daant kya rahi hai.. par aunty pareshaan ho jaayegi yaar.. aur (lowering his eyes)..

Naira : Aur..

Kartik : You know na.. uncle.. yeh sab pasand.. nahi.. karte hai..

Naira : Aisa kuch nahi hai ok.. abhi faltu baate bandh kar.. aur chal ghar pe..

She took him to her house carefully..

After reaching Singhania Sadan, she knocked at the door.. Akshara opened it..

---------------------------------------------------------

Akshara : Naira's mother.. a housemaker.. and also an occasional singer..

Naira is the only child.. so her parents are a bit possessive about her.. especially her father, Naitik Singhania..

Naitik Singhania : Naira's father.. an well known wealthy businessman..

--------------------------------------------------------

Akshara (being concerned) : Arrey, Kartik, yeh kya hua tumhe..

Kartik and Akshara were having a great bond.. she has always treated him like her own son..

Akshara pulled him by his arms inside the house making sure she won't hurt him..

Naira also went inside..

Naira : Haan mumma pucho isse kya kia hai issne..

Akshara (to Kartik) : Sit..

She made him sit on the couch at the living area.. Naira too sat beside him..

Akshara : Ruko.. main pahle haldi ka dudh leke aati hu.. phir class le rahi hu tumhari..

Kartik : Kya.. cl.. class.. par aunty..

Akshara already went towards the kitchen until he finishes what he was saying..

He looked at Naira hopefully with his cute puppy eyes..

Naira : Kya hai..

Kartik : Arrey.. (he whispered to her ears) yaar.. tu mujhe thik karne leke aayi hai ki marwaane.. tune suna aunty ne kya kaha..??

Naira : Haaaaaan.. suna na.. Tere saath aisa hi hona chahiye.. phir tu permanently thik ho jayega .. mumma ki daant ki dose padhegi na then you will understand..

Kartik : Par..

Naira (irritated) : Shhh.. tere yahan pe chot lagi hai na(pointing to the area at the corner of his lips) itna baat kyun Kar raha hai.. pain nhi ho raha..

Kartik : Ho raha hai..

Naira : To chup rah na..

By this time Akshara returned with a glass of turmeric milk and handed over to him..

Kartik made faces looking at the glass..

Kartik : Aunty.. yeh accha nahi hota hai.. mujhe nahi pina..

Akshara : Oh accha.. thik hai yeh rakh do.. main tumhare lie kadha banake laati hu ok..

Kartik : Arey nahi nahi yehi thik hai..

He gulped down the milk in one go because he was already so scared of this mother-daughter duo..

Akshara then asked about the matter.. Naira told her everything.. Kartik got a scolding again this time from Akshara.. but needless to say this all was coming out of the concern they were having for him..

Akshara told Naira to take Kartik to her room.. she took him there.. and he took rest..

The day went on.. and it was evening.. when Kartik came down from Naira's room..

Kartik : Aunty.. I m feeling better now.. to phir kya main ghar chalu..

Akshara (copying the same tone as of him) : Kya main tumhe thappad maaru..

He looked at Akshara shockingly and then at Naira.. she was also startled by this..

Naira : Maa yeh..

Akshara : Isse samjha do naira yeh yahin rahega aaj raat ko.. bade aaye ghar jaane vaale.. wahan pe koi hai nahi aur janaab ko jaana hai ghar.. thappad lagaungi agar dobara aisa kaha to.. you are staying here tonight..

Naira smiled to the fullest and adored the bond.. and started doing a little dance listening that he will be staying here tonight.. so she will get to spend more time with him..

Akshara (to Naira) : Tu Kya itna khush ho rahi hai..

Naira (realising the place) : Nahi main to bass aise hi.. (she smiled awkwardly)

At late evening, Naitik returned from his office and saw Kartik over there.. he came to know the whole scenario.. though he didn't like Kartik much because Naira most of the time keeps on talking about him and being a possessive father he didn't like the fact but he wasn't bad at heart at all.. so he happily accepted the fact of him staying here tonight..

After the four had their dinner, Naira took him to her room.. and went out wishing him good night..

She went to another room.. after few minutes her phone buzzed.. and there was a sms from Kartik.. "can you please come over here?"

She got tensed as to what might have happened.. did he got hurt again or what?? She literally rushed towards his room.. oops her room..

She barged in and saw Kartik laying there peacefully..

Naira : Kya hua tujhe Kartik.. tu thik to hai na..

Kartik : Hmm..

Kartik got up and sat leaning to the bed.. she also sat there getting relieved..

Naira : To phir mujhe aise kyun bulaya..

Kartik : I was missing you..

Naira : What!

Kartik : Tu waise bhi itni jaldi soti to hai nahi.. mere pass baith na..

Naira : Hmm.. bol..

Kartik : Mujhe sula degi please.. neend nahi aa rahi..

Naira : Mumma ko bulau.. woh tujhe sula dengi jaise pahle bhi ek baar sulaya tha..

She was going to call her but he stopped her by her wrist..

Kartik : No no I don't want to disturb her.. unhone aaj bahut kia mere liye.. upar se Uncle ko pata chala to..
U stay na.. ya phir nahi rahna tujhe mere saath..

Naira : Tch.. aisa kuch nahi hai yaaaar!!

She sat down on the bed..

Kartik: Tere god me sar rakhu?

She felt elated hearing this.. also she could sense something wrong with Kartik.. he was getting upset about something..

Naira : Hmm..

He placed his head on her lap..

She ran her fingers through his hairs.. to Kartik this was the most soothing thing he can ever feel..

Naira noticed a tear drop escaping Kartik's eyes.. and she knew she was right in guessing.. he was sad..

She rubbed the tear drop off with the tip of her finger..

Naira : Kya soch raha hai.. ??

He looked up at her..

Kartik : I love you..

She smiled..

Kartik : Tujhe pata hai na main tujhse kitna pyaar karta hu..

Naira : Pata hai.. jitna tum apni Dadi se karte the.. I mean karte ho..

Kartik (getting emotional again) : Unki bahut yaad aa rahi hai yaar..

Naira : Accha.. par woh to yahin hai tere paas.. hum sabke paas.. hum sabke saath.. unhe yaad kar aur so jaa..

He smiled and held Naira's hands like a baby.. his head on her lap.. he remembered the day he lost his Dadi but got Naira as his only best and real friend.. Naira too alongwith him started thinking about the past, about the day..
