Naira stirred in her sleep as lights fall on her eyes. She snuggled up into something hard. His arms adjusted her and she smiled. But soon something burst into her mind. She pushed his hands hard and came out of his embrace.

"Don't touch me.. pleaseee!" she said rubbing her arms violently to remove his touch. He grabbed her shoulders but she reluctantly removed his hands.

"Don't dare to touch me! How could you.."

"Naira! It's me! Your Kartik! Nobody is touching you. Please calm down!" said Kartik getting out of the bed.

She quickly turned back and her eyes caught his concerned tensed eyes. Her vision blurs as her eyes start getting moist. She immediately hugged him and start crying.

"Ssh baby I am here.. relax!" he said caressing her hairs and hugging her back. After sometime, she stopped sobbing and tilt her head. He smiled to her and she hide herself again in his chest. He made themselves laid again.

Naira was still sleeping when she felt like someone caressing her forehead. She blinked her eyes and her Dadi's (Ndadi) face came into view. She sat down and they hugged each other.

"Dadi when you came?" asked Naira.

"Early morning. How are you?" replied NDadi.

Her kidnapping images raised in her mind and she tightly hugged her Dadi and quietly sobbed.

"No beta. Don't cry. You are in home and safe now. Don't stress yourself more." said NDadi wiping her tears and she smiled.

"Bhai didn't came?" asked Naira

"No beta. He was insisting to come but you know na he's still recovering so I refused him." said Ndadi while Naira nodded her head.

"Dadi, Chachi is calling you" said Kartik.

Naira turned back and their eyes locked. His eyes looked void and worried. He stepped in with a tray.

"I am going downstairs beta. You have your breakfast. Call me if you need something" their locked eyes broken by Dadi's voice.

Dadi walked outside and he put the tray in front of Naira. Her nose smelled butter and she felt like puking.

"How are you feeling now?" He said putting his hand on her left cheek.

More butter aroma filled her nose. She felt more like puking and it happened. She removed the covers and ran to washroom.

He hold her hairs when she puked everything. She raised her face and looked their reflection in mirror. He looked worried and tensed and she looked all pale and white.

"I am fine.." she said looking in mirror.

"But I don't think so!" he said while she washed her face and turned to him.

"I am all fine now. It's just that the aroma of butter didn't suit me" she said.

"Are you sure? Should we consult doctor?" he asked being worried for her.

"No. I am all fine now." she said assuring him but zero level of assurance were there in his eyes. She held his hand in between hers and directly looked into his eyes.

"I am fine. No need to worry." she said and he blinked his eyes as approval when she smiled. They walked out and again butter smell burned her nostrils.

"Have juice. I will bring something else." He made her sit on the bed and stepped back but she held his wrist.

"Please don't go." she timidly spoke. He sat beside her and offered her juice. She sipped and he watched her.

She fidgeted her hands with down head. He hold her hands and made her look at him. A lone tear fell from her eyes. He cupped her face and wiped the tear and hugged her. She started crying in his arms. He caressed her back.

"Shh.. nothing happened. Think it as like a bad dream." he said.

The thought of going far from him was killing her again and again and she tightly hugged him. Later few more minutes of sobbing and crying she stopped.

"I th.. thought he will.. he will take me away.. (after a long pause).. away from you.." she said sobbing and he tightly hold her in his arms.

"Nobody is taking you away from me." he said seriously and she tilted her head. He looked dead serious.

"I love you so much Kartik!"

"I love you too jaan!"

She closed her eyes to relax in his arms. After a while she heard him saying, "You know I also love having you in my arms but we are getting late.."

She broke the hug and looked at him questioningly. He smiled and tugged the strand behind her ear.

"An officer will come for your statement." he said. She became still and he caressed her cheek.

"Don't worry. We all will be there. Okay?" he said and she nodded with tight smile.
