It was raksha bandhan. Naira was very excited. It was going to be her first raksha bandhan after so many years away. She also had a little surprise for kartik. Akshara had gone out of town for some work.

The Maheshwari's were at singhaniya's. Ananaya had also come to tie rakhi on this occasion. Kartik was also present. Kartik was missing keerti and mansi a lot but he knew they couldn't be here so he was feeling a bit sad.

Everyone danced as sisters tied rakhi to there brothers. It was after everyone had tied rakhi, and were moving to eat when naira spoke.

Naira :- ek min. Sab suniye.

Kaveri :- kya hua beta ?

Naira :- actually mein thank you kehna chahti hoon.

Naksh :- kisse?

Naira :- uss insaan ko jo hamare liye ek bahut hi khaas insaan hai. Usne hamesha hum sabki madad ki. Usne kabhi nahi jataya ki vo hum par koi ehsaan kar raha hai. Ek dost, ek bete, ek bhai, apna har ek farz nibhaya hai usne. Jisne mughe mera parivaar lauta diya. Vo parivaar jo maine apni bewakoofi ki vajah se kho diya tha. Usne mughe meri maa vaapas dila di. Usko mai kitna bhi thank you bol doon hamesha kam hi rahega. Lekin phir bhi main ek baari phir se keh rahi hoon. Thank you kartik. Thank you for everything.

Kartik had tears in his eyes by the end of naira's speech. Everyone clapped for naira.

Rajshri :- ye baat to bitiya rani ne bilkul thik kahi hai. Hamare parivaar ke saath tum aise ghul mil chuke ho jaise hamare apne bete ho tum.

Devyani :- haa Rajshri behen. Isne toh iss parivaar ki saari khushiyan vaapas de di.
Thank you beta.

Kartik :- arey ye sab kisliye. Dekhiye ek taraf toh aap beta bol rahi hai phir aap thank you bhi keh rahi hai. Aise nahi chalega. Maine wahi kiya jo ek bete ko karna chahiye tha.

Everyone smiled.

Naira :- phir bhi ek surprise hai mere pass tumhare liye.

Kartik :- kya?

Naira :- ek min.

Saying this naira went outside and after two minutes came back with two people. Kartik was shocked to see them and the other family members confused.

He got over his shock and ran towards them and hugged them.

Kartik :- keerti, mansi tum dono yaha?

Keerti :- haa naira ka idea tha ye.

Mansi whispered :- bhabhi aapko suprise dena chahti thi.

Kartik released them and turned towards naira.

Kartik :- thank you so much naira.

All the family members came near them.

Devyani :- naira beta. Ye log?

Naira :- choti dadi. Ye dono kartik ki behne hai. Ye keerti di aur ye hai mansi.

Keerti and mansi :- namaste.

All the members :- radhe krishan.

Kaveri :- aao beta. Baitho na. Acha kiya tum log bhi aa gaye.

Mansi :- aunty. Actually ye toh naira bha– di ka idea tha.

Not many people noticed her slip of tongue but two people noticed. One was naksh and the other was gayu.

Keerti :- acha chalo ab rakhi baandh le. Aaj Shaam vaapas bhi jaana hai hume.

Kartik :- kya? Par itni jaldi.

Keerti :- mansi ka school hai aur abhi tak mera project complet nahi hua hai.

Kartik sighed. He offered his hand as both of his sisters tied rakhi to him.

Keerti :- chaliye. Ab hume chalna chahiye.

Kaveri :- arey aise kaise beta. Khana toh khaakar jao.

Devyani :- haa beta. Itne dino baad tum log mile ho. Itni jaldi chale jaoge.

Naira :- haa di. Please thodi der rukiye na.

Keerti :- ok. Par sirf tumhare kehne pe.

It was after lunch naira, keerti, kartik and mansi were sitting together talking and laughing.

All the ladies were sitting together.

Rajshri :- kuch bhi kaho. Kartik ke naam se hi bitiya rani ke chehre par ek muskurahat si hi aa jati hai.

Devyani :- aur nahi toh kya. Rishikesh se jab yahan aayi thi tab kartik ne hi toh sambhala usse.

Kaveri :- haa. Dono ko dosti bahut hi gehri hai.

In the evening mansi and keerti went back while kartik and naira were discussing to take ananya di to a resort as ranbir jiju won't be there.

Nest day after ananya cut the cake. Everyone went to the resort. Gayu's friend Vivaan also joined them. They reached the resort without any problem. As the manager knew kartik getting the rooms wasn't any problem. Kartik had taken only one room for him and naira. Although he just told everyone that he had taken a separate room.

After everyone had gone to freshen up kartik quietly went to his and naira's room. Naira was in the washroom and she came out to find kartik lying on the bed. She smiled and lied on top of him. Kartik wrapped his arms around her.

Kartik suddenly turned her to the side and now was on top of naira.

Naira :- kartik kya kar rahe ho?

Kartik :- kya kar raha hoon. Shaadi ko itna time ho gaya abhi tak nahi samghi kya.

Naira :- kartik

Kartik :- naira.

Naira :- abhi iska time nahi hai. Thodi der mein milna hai sabko.

Kartik :- haa toh thodi der hai na abhi.

Kartik leaned down to kiss her but naira turned her head to the side. Kartik knew naira was purposely teasing him. So he decided to take revenge and attacked her neck furiously. Naira moaned in Kartik's ear. Hearing her sweet moan only fueled kartik. He attacked her neck with more intensity as she dug her nails in his back. Kartik kissed her. He kissed her furiously and naira too replied in equal intensity. He sucked on her lips and entered her mouth.

They both made out for at least fifteen minutes before they separated. They both were panting. Naira was red on her face. She turned her head to the side. Kartik leaned down again but suddenly there was a knock on the door. It was ananya who called her.

Ananya :- naira. Kitna time lagega ready hone mein.

Naira :- aayi di. Bas 10 min.

Ananya went.

Naira :- kartik utho. Jaldi taiyyar hona hai.

Kartik pouted.

Naira :- ye moo fulana band karo. Jaldi taiyyar ho abhi.

Kartik sighed and got up. They both changed and came out. Luckily no one saw them together.

It was night time. The evening had been stressful for naira. Thankfully kartik had been there when she got the flashback.

It was time for Ananya's party. They had cut the cake and now were dancing in the masquerade party. Kartik and naira were lost in each other. They were just staring at each other neither of them saying a word. They didn't know what song was being played or who was dancing with whom for in that moment it was only them.

Suddenly a waiter slipped and a drink fell on naira's dress. This jerked both of them on reality.

Naira went to her room and kartik quietly went behind her. Kartik was waiting outside the room when naira called him inside to help open the tap. Kartik helped her open the tap but broke it causing both of them to get wet.

Kartik's and naira's head were spinning. They didn't know it was due to the tic tac they had eaten earlier which actually was a drug.

Kartik slowly pulled naira to himself and brought her face close. He kissed her forehead, her eyes, nose, cheeks and kissed her on the lips. After her lips he leaned down and sucked on her neck. He bit on her pulse point. Her most sensitive area on her neck. Naira moaned loudly at that. Kartik picked her up and laid her on the bed.

It was morning time and kartik opened his eyes. His head was paining. He was about to get up when he noticed a familiar weight on his chest. His wife was sleeping. He smiled at her cute snores. Kartik got up from the bed and found the room to be in a mess. There clothes were lying around the bed. He noticed himself and found nail marks on his chest, arms and shoulders. They both were naked implying the obvious.

Kartik went to the bathroom, bathed and came out. He changed and after getting ready, he came near her and gently woke her.

Kartik :- good morning patnidevi.

Naira :- good morning.

Kartik kissed her forehead.

Naira :- kartik mera sar bahut dukh raha hai.

Kartik :- I know baby. Jao jaldi se ready hokar aa jao. Thodi der mein check out karna hai.

Naira nodded. Kartik went out and naira went to change.

After sometime they all were going back to there home. Naksh was driving, ananya sitting with him in the front. Kartik and naira were sitting side by side in the backseat. Naira was sleeping with her head on Kartik's shoulder.

Vivaan and gayu looked at them. Vivaan wished the same thing for him and gayu. While gayu was jealous and curious. She realised that naira and kartik weren't just lovers. It was more than that. The way they acted around each other. There happiness with each other. And Kartik's sister tongue slip. It was something more. And naira knew Kartik's family very deeply. There had to be something.

They reached the Maheshwari home. Naksh called kartik and naira to Kartik's room.

Naira :- bahi kya hua?

Naksh :- guys tum log apna PDA thoda control mein rakho. It's like tum chahte ho ki sabko pata chale tum dono ke baare mein.

Naira :- sorry bhai. Vo bas.

Naksh :- guys relax. I know but tone it down a little.

Kartik :- jaisa aap kahe, sale sahab.

Naira and naksh smiled at the word 'sale sahab'.

Naksh :- acha chalo ab niche chalte hai nani sabko breakfast ke liye bula rahi hai.

All three of them went downstairs.
