Naira opened her eyes and yawned. Her entire body was deliciously sore. She pulled herself up and the first thing she saw was kartik's face. He was sleeping peacefully and had a smile on his face. Naira smiled and kissed his cheek. She separated herself from him. She didn't want to get up but had to because today she had to prepare meals for everyone.

Naira went to the bathroom and took a shower. She noticed hickeys and bite marks on her body and blushed remembering the events of last night. She came and dressed in a saree. Kartik was still sleeping so she decided not to disturb him.

Naira went to the kitchen and started preparing the dishes. One and a half hour later everything was prepared. By this time everyone had come to the dining table. Naira had prepared everyone's favourites.
And all of them started eating and everyone praised naira. Keerti decided to tease naira.

Keerti :- vaise naira. I hope kal raat macharo ne jyada kaata nahi hoga.

Kartik choked on the water he was drinking. Naira turned red. Shubham and mansi were laughing.

Naira :- na... Nahi di.

Suhasini dadi :- kya keh rahi ho keerti. Iss Ghar mein machar se kabse hone lage.

Keerti :- nahi dadi. Mein toh bas aise hi keh rahi thi.

Suhasini dadi :- arey naira. Tum bhi baith jao. Saath mein hi kha lo.

Naira sat beside kartik. Kartik held her hand under the table. Naira looked towards him.

Naira whispered :- kartik hath chodo.

Kartik :- na. Pehle I love you kaho.

Naira :- kya tum bhi. Abhi sab hai.

Kartik :- I don't care.

Naira sighed and whispered :- I love you.

Suhasini dadi :- arey kya khusar phusar kar rahe ho tum dono.

Kartik :- kuch nahi dadi. Bas aise hi.

Manish :- vaise kartik abhi tumhari traning toh baaki hai na.

Kartik :- haa papa. Ek mahine ki baaki hai abhi. Main soch raha tha ki iss week ke end tak mein aur naira vaapas Rishikesh chale jaenge.

Keerti :- kya kartik. Shaadi ke baad log honeymoon pe jaate hai. Aur tum abhi bhi kaam pe.

Naira :- I know di. Hum soch rahe the ki ek baari poori training complete ho jae. Phir chale jaenge.

Suhasini dadi :- hum chahte toh nahi hai ki tum dono jao. Par ab kya karein mazboori hai. Kam se kam iss hafte tak ruk jao. Gangaur hai. Bahu ka ghar mein aane ke baad pehla tyohar hai. Tab tak ruk jao. Uske baad chale jaana.

Manish :- haa kartik. Maa thik keh rahi hai.

Akhilesh :- vaise mere pass ek good news hai aap sabko batane ke liye.

Manish :- kya baat hai Akhilesh?

Akhilesh :- bhai sahab. U.S ke mere dream project ko aprooval mil gaya hai.

Everyone cheered and congratulated him.

Suhasini dadi :- arey swarna. Mithai lao.

Shubham :- ek min. Agar good news bata hi rahe hai toh mein bhi bata deta hoon ki mughe bhi U.S. mein admission mil gaya hai college mein.

This brought a new wave of happiness.

Shubham :- ab double double mithai lao.

Everyone laughed and had fun at the breakfast table.

Naira was in her room and when kartik came from behind and wrapped his arms around her waist and buried his face in her neck.

Naira :- kartik. Kya kar rahe ho?

Kartik :- romance.

Naira just smiled. Kartik pulled her closer to  himself and started kissing her neck. Naira leaned back into him. Kartik takes her in front of a mirror.

Kartik :- haaye. Meri biwi kitni khoobsurat lag rahi hai. Abhi tak toh maine tumhe jee bharke dekha bhi nahi hai.

Naira blushed at his words.

Kartik :- haaye. Lagta hai katal e aam karna ka irada hai.

Naira blushed even more.

Kartik :- thank you naira.

Naira :- kis liye.

Kartik :- tumhare aate hi ghar mein khushiyan aa gayi. I love you mrs. Naira kartik Goenka.

Naira :- I love you too mr. Kartik Goenka.

More than a week had passed. The Goenka's had celebrated gangaur. Kartik and naira had gone back to Rishikesh. Shubam's  college and Akhilesh project was in the same city. Akhilesh also decided to take Surekha and luv kush with him while Mansi had gone back to her hostel.

In Rishikesh kartik and naira were living in the cottage. Naira also visited the ashram time to time. As naira got bored in the house she decided to become a guide again just for sometime.

The couple were very happy in there marriage. Currently naira was sitting on the family swing with Kartik's head lying on her lap. Kartik was just staring at naira.

Naira :- aise kya dekh raho ho. Jab dekho mendhak ki tarah ki ghoorte rahte ho.

Kartik :- arey mein toh apna sabse favourite kaam kar raha hoo. Tumhe dekhne ka. Aur iss kam ko toh mein zindagi bhar kar sakta hoo.

Naira rolled her eyes. Kartik got up and pulled naira in his chest and she wrapped her arms around him. Whenever they were together kartik always liked having physical contact with her. Be it simple holding hands or a deeper intimate contact. It didn't matter. Kartik loved naira in his arms and he would always do that whenever they were alone together.

The couple spent there time savouring every moment. They loved each other deeply. Kartik looked down on her neck to see the hickeys he had given her last night. He leaned down and kissed her hickeys. Naira shivered. Kartik kissed her hard on the lips and didn't separate until they desperately needed air. They both were panting. Kartik pulled naira in his chest again.

Time passed. The month was coming to an end. Kartik's traning was done so Manish wanted him to join the company but kartik had a different idea. So he decided to talk to Manish. He called Manish.

Kartik :- Papa. I know aap chahte ho ko main abhi se join kar loo. Par mughe thoda aur work experience chahiye. Mein kisi aur company mein jaakar ek normal employee ki tarah kaam karna chahta hoo.

Manish :- beta agar ek normal employee ki tarah hi kaam karna hai toh apni company join karne mein problem kya hai.

Kartik :- Papa. Yahan par sab jaante ho ki main aapka beta hoo. Isliye sab mughe favour karenge. Koi mughe utna workload bhi nahi dega. Please Papa. Thode time ki hi toh baat hai uske baad toh mein aa hi jaaonga.

Manish :-  thik hai beta. Vaise maa kal teerth pe jaa rahi hai 3-4 mahino ke. Aur mein bhi swarna aur keerti ko lekar Delhi jaa raha hoo. Ek bahut badi deal hui hai. Kab tak vaapas aaonga koi idea nahi hai. Tumhare aur naira ke liye ghar bilkul sunna ho jaega.

Kartik :- koi baat nahi Papa. Naira bhi apna dance academy ka kaam shuru kar sakti hai.

Manish :- haa. Poora saath dena uska iss kaam mein.

Kartik :- of course Papa.

Kartik found that a position was available in Singhania diamonds in udaipur so he decided to interview for that company.

Time skip:-

Kartik had just finished his interview with Naitik Singhania and he had gotten the job. He also wished that the lady he met should also get her wish. She was such a kind woman. He was so excited about the job. He couldn't wait to tell this to naira. He found naira sitting at the ghat but was shocked. She hugged her knees. Her face was on her knees and she was crying. Kartik ran to her.

Kartik :- naira.

Naira looked up and was relieved to see kartik. She immediately hugged him.

Kartik :- naira. Naira kya hua? Kisi ne kuch kaha kya batao Mughe. Naira shhhhh. Shaant ho jao. Rona band karo. Shaant ho jao.

Naira stopped crying. Kartik helped naira stand up and decided to take her to ashram insted of cottage. He thought that maybe spending time with the kids would help her mood.

Once they were in the ashram. Kartik took naira to her room and made her sit down.

Kartik :- batao naira. Kya hua hai.

Naira :- vo yahan aai hai??

Kartik :- kon ?

Naira :- meri maa kartik. Vo jisne mughe dokha diya hai.

Kartik was shocked.

Kartik :- tum mili unse.

Naira :- nahi nahi unhone mughe dekha nahi par maine unhe pehchan liya kartik. Vo mughe jail bhijwa dengi. Vo mughe tumse door le jaengi.

Naira started crying again. Kartik pulled naira in his chest.

Kartik :- rona band karo. Naira shaant ho jao. Koi tumhe jail nahi bhejega. Shaant ho jao. Shhhhh. Rona band karo.

Naira's crying subsided.

Kartik pulled back and kissed her forehead, cheeks and temple to calm her.

Kartik :- naira ek baat kahoo. Tumhein ek baari unke saath jaana chahiye.

Naira was shocked and angry.

Naira :- kartik tum ye kya keh rahe ho?

Kartik :- naira. Ek baar bas meri baat sun lo. Dekho ho sakta hai uss waqt koi galat fehmi ho gayi ho. Kabhi kabhi haalaat bahut jyada bigad jaaye hai. Ek baar unke saath jaakar dekho. Shayad sab thik ho jaye.

Naira :- tum aisa soch bhi kaise ho sakte ho. Mughe nai jaana unke saath. Nafrat karti hoo mein unse. Mughe unki koi parvaah nahi.

Kartik :- aur tumhare papa. Tumhara bhai. Aur baaki ka parivaar. Kya unse bhi naraz ho. Naira main janta hoon ki tum unse aaj bhi utna hi pyaar karti ho. Mere liye nahi, apne liye nahi, apni maa ke liye nahi kam se kam unke liye toh ek baari unke pass ho aao.

Naira again had tears in her eyes as she hugged kartik once again.

Naira :- It's not fair kartik. It's not fair.

Kartik :- I know baby. It's not. Isliye keh raha hoo ki ek baar unse mil lo. Vaise ek good news bhi de doon. Mughe job mil gaya hai udaipur mein. Main thode time mein vahan aa jaoonga tumhare saath.

Naira didn't want to but at least she was happy that kartik will be there.

Next day akshara realised that tina was actually naira. She cried as she met her daughter after so many years. She requested her to come back naira didn't want to but she agreed just for kartik.
