It was janamashtmi. Naira was angry. She had danced with akshara and kartik hadn't complimented her. She was lighting the diya when kartik came near her.

Kartik :- naraz ho.

Naira huffed.

Kartik :- arey main toh mazak kar raha tha. Tumhare alava mughe kabhi kisi aur ka dance acha laga hai kabhi.

Naira :- rehne do bas apni ye jhutti tareefein.

Kartik :- kya ab ek pati apni patni ko tease bhi nahi kar sakta.

Kartik looked around and saw no one present. So he quickly gave a peck on naira lips. Naira looked at him in shock.

Naira :- kartik. Koi dekh leta.

Kartik :- ab mein kya karoo. Tum itni jyada cute lag rahi ho ki mein rok nahi paya. Aur upar se ye lehnga. Haaye. Lagta hai aaj toh katal karke hi manogi.

Naira blushed. Kartik saw this and kissed her cheek.

Naira :- kartik. Kya kar rahe ho?

Kartik :- ab mein kya karoo. Mughse control hi nahi ho raha.

Naira :- ek kaam karo. Tum yahan baitho. Mein jaa rahi hoon. Mughe kaam hai.

Naira started going but kartik held her hand and kissed her hand.

Naira :- kartik.

She freed her hand and ran away.

Kartik :- haaye meri radha. Ab iss krishan ko aur kitna tadpaogi. Kab meri bahon mein aaogi.

Naira was going to the kitchen when Kaveri dadi asked her for special samagri which naira had forgotten at home.

She hurriedly came outside with Kartik's bike keys. She had to bring the samagri before pooja. She was about to start the bike  when she felt someone sit on the back seat.

She turned around to see kartik.

Naira :- kya kar rahe ho?

Kartik :- pehle ye batao tum kya kar rahi ho?

Naira :- mein ghar jaa rahi hoon. Badi dadi ne ek samagri di thi jo meim bhool gayi. Jaldi se leke aana hai.

Kartik :- toh phir mein bhi chaloonga.

Naira :- kartik dekho mazak ka time nahi hai. Mughe jaldi jaakar aana hai.

Kartik :- haa toh ab kyun baaton mein time waste kar rahi ho. Chalo na ab.

Naira sighed. She knew there was no point in arguing with kartik right now.

Naira started the bike. Kartik brought his hands to her bare waist and slowly encircled her. Naira's breath hitched. .

Naira :- kartik ye kya kar rahe ho?

Kartik slowly and huskily whispered in her ear :- tumhe idea bhi hai jab tum traditional pehnti ho toh mugh par kya asar hota hai.

Saying that he slowly and sensually bit her ear lobe. Naira sucked in sharp breath. She somehow controlled herself and drove the bike.

They reached Singhania sadan and naira punched kartik as soon as they got off the bike.

Kartik :- owww. Ye kisliye?

Naira :- tumhe pata hai kisliye.

Kartik :- mughe nahi pata ek baari ache se samjhao.

Kartik was smirking. Naira saw this and moved to hit him again but kartik held her hand turned her around and pulled her into his chest. His chest was pressing against her back. His other hand was encircling naira's bare waist and pulled her more into him. Shivers went down naira's spine.

Kartik :- kuch galat to nahi kaha na maine. Jab se tumhe iss lehnge mein dekha hai tabse mann toh yahi kar raha tha ki kab tumhe apni baahon mein loon. Haaye. Itni jyada khoobsurat lag rahi hai meri biwi.

Kartik kissed her cheek from behind. Naira blushed.

Naira :- kartik.... Hatto.

Kartik smiled. He loved to make his wife blush. Naira loved those romantic gestures done by kartik.

They brought the samagri back to the Maheshwari house and currently pooja was being done. Kartik was doing the pooja and naira was swinging lord Krishna. Akshara and naksh saw this and smiled. They both knew how happy kartik and naira were with each other. Husband and wife looked at each other and smiled. This was there first janamashtmi.

Akshara prayed happiness for kartik and naira. She wished for her children to live a long happy life.

Kartik and naira had done the pooja. Kartik was staring at his naira. Naira noticed this and asked kartik.

Naira :- kya hua ?

Kartik :- kabhi kabhi lagta hai ki mein itna lucky kaise ho sakta hoon ki tum meri life mein aayi ho.

Naira smiled. She was about to reply when they heard akshara scream. Everyone ran and was shocked to find out badi nani fallen from the stairs.

Naira was crying badly. Doctor had informed them of badi nani's condition. Kartik came and hugged naira tightly. Naira was sobbing in his chest.

Kartik :- naira. Shaant ho jao. Tum bhi kamal karti ho. Jab aasoon bahane ka time hota hai tab tum strong ban jati ho aur ab jab strong banne ka time hai tab tum ro rahi ho. Chalo smile karo.

Kartik wiped her tears. And naira smiled a bit.

Nannu had confessed. After running away and coming back he had finally confessed. The family members forgave him. Everyone had gone back home.

It was late at night. Kartik was sitting on the swing when naira came and sat beside him. She leaned into him, kept her head on his shoulder. Kartik encircled her with his arms.

Naira :- tum thik ho na.

Kartik :- haa. Koi chot nahi aayi hai.

Naira :- agli baar aisa kiya na toh dekhna.

Kartik :- kyu tension ho gayi thi meri.

Naira :- tension. Jaan nikaal di thi tumne meri.

Kartik :- naira mein bilkul thik hoon.

Kartik brought her hands to his lips and kissed them.

Kartik :- I love you.

Naira :- I love you too.

Kartik :- tum thik ho na.

Naira :- haa kartik. Tumhe shayad idea bhi nahi hai ki tumhare pass rehne se mughe kitna support milta hai. Pata hai sab aise show kar rahe hai ki vo bahut strong hai par mughe pata hai ki badi nani ki kya importance hai ghar mein.

Kartik :- I know naira. But don't worry. Ye waqt bhi gujar jaega.

Naira just nodded in his chest. Kartik kissed her forehead. His wife needed his support and he was there to provide it to her.

Nannu had gone for rehab. Kartik got the news that Naitik was coming back. He was really excited. Finally he and naira would reveal the truth then go back to Goenka villa. Plus he had gotten the news that by diwali chachu's project will finish along with Papa. And dadi will also come. The entire family will be present for diwali. He couldn't wait to tell this to naira.

But kartik had other problem right now. Naitik had called him and told him about the money transfer which he had not approved of. Naitik had given him his office password and told him to find out the necessary information.

He was in the office when suddenly naira came. He quickly ducked and sat under the table. Naira sat on her father's chair and sensed someone under. She was shocked to see kartik.

Naira :- tum yahan.

Kartik :- haa.

Naira :- tum yahan kyun chupe ho.

Kartik :- vo.. tumhe darane ke liye.

Naira :- mendak ke bache. Mughe daraoge.

Kartik :- acha baba sorry. Aage se aisa nahi karoonga.

Naira :- tum andar kaise aaye. Ye office toh password protected hai.

Kartik didn't want to lie to naira so decided to tell her half truth.

Kartik :- haa. Vo sir ko kuch important documents ki photos chahiye thi isliye unhone hi mughe password diya.

Naira :- vaise mein bahut khush hoon.

Kartik :- I know aur tumhare liye ek aur khush khabri hai.

Naira :- kya?

Kartik :- diwali par sabka kaam khatam ho jaega aur sab aa rahe hai. Chachu-chachi, mom dad, keerti, luv kush, Shubham, dadi, mansi.

Naira :- sachiiiiii.

Kartik nodded. Naira was so excited. She hugged him. Kartik smiled. Her child like enthusiasm always warmed his heart.

She pulled back.

Naira :- iss saal ki diwali bahut achi hogi.

Kartik :- haa.

Naira :- acha suno I need your help.

Kartik :- kya hua?

Naira told him that she wanted to surprise Naitik by making a presentation for the dance academy. So kartik started making the presentation. Naira was standing beside him. She leaned on him for support.

Gayu had just opened the gate when she saw kartik and naira. After getting to know that they loved each other she was slowly getting over her crush. She was thankful that her crush only remained a crush. She left them alone. She was still not complete over it.

Naksh came after sometime and told them about bringing lord Ganesha statue home. Naira went with naksh while kartik decided to stay in the office to complete the presentation.

After the office closed only kartik remained there and he quickly faxed all the important documents to Naitik.

Naira and family were dancing when they were bringing ganpati home. She was missing kartik a lot. Thankfully he came after sometime bringing the presentation with him.

Kartik :- ek kaam karna jab sir aur mam milenge na tab un par koyle ka powder daal dena taaki nazar na lage unhe. Bahut suna unki love story ke baare mein.

Naira :- pata hai pehle mein bhi in sab mein nahi manti thi. Ye love stories and all par mumma papa ko dekh ke toh mughe bhi in par vishwas ho jaata hai.

Kartik :- aur hamari?

Naira looked at kartik.

Naira :- hamari love story toh mere liye sabse jyada special hai. Ek ladki jo jeena bhool gayi thi uski zindagi mein ek mendak ne aakar sirf khushiyan bhar di. Ek aisi ladki ka haath thama jiski koi pehchaan nahi thi. Uss ladki ko uski pehchaan, uska astitva sab kuch lauta diya tumne. Hamari kahani toh mere dil ke sabse kareeb hai.

Kartik smiled and hugged her. Naira wrapped her hands around him. Someone cleared there throat and they immediately separated. To there relief it was akshara.

Akshara :- ye kya chal raha hai meri beti aur mere damaad ke beech mein.

Naira :- kuch nahi. Vo toh bas aise hi.

Akshara smiled.

Akshara :- maa ko pagal samjha hai. Agar romance karna hi tha toh room mein chale jaate. Sabke saamne. Kaafi bold ho gayi hai meri beti.

Naira and kartik turned red. She hid behind Kartik.

Kartik :- mam aap ye kya bol rahi hai.

Akshara bursted out laughing.

Akshara :- chehre toh dekho tum dono ke.

They both relaxed.

Akshara :- aur haa kartik. Maam nahi maa bolo mughe.

Kartik :- par maam kaise.

Akshara :- kaise matlab? Bete ho tu mere. Pehle apni achai se mere bete bane aur ab toh Rishtey mein bhi ho. Toh ab se sirf maa bolna.

Kartik :- ji maam, mera matalab maa.

Naira smiled and both of them hugged akshara.

After sometime kartik went back. He was worried, he had a feeling something bad was going to happen very soon.
