A few days have passed since kartik realised his love for naira. He has spent a lot of time with naira since then and his feelings are growing deeper and deeper for her.

Naira also could feel that there friendship was growing deeper but there were some feelings which she hasn't realised. She knew she was feeling something for kartik but she hasn't realised what.

It was evening time, kartik and naira were roaming Rishikesh on his bike. It was becoming there habit to go on rides in the evening. Kartik took naira to a cliff. He parked his bike at some distance from the cliff.

Naira :- yahan kyun le aaye.

Kartik :- arey ye view kitna sundar hai.

Naira smiled but as soon as she reached the edge her smile faded. The cliff reminded her of that incident which made her leave home. She started getting flashback of her friend , the train. Naira started shivering badly.

Kartik :- maine aisa view aaj se pehle-

Kartik stopped talking when naira's hand suddenly grabbed his t- shirt. He noticed her shivering. She would have fallen on the ground if kartik had not supported her.

Kartik :- Tina. tina kya hua.

Naira(tina) :- mughe yahan se le chalo kartik.

Kartik :- ha Tina. Le chalta hoo. Par kya hua.

Naira(tina) :- mughe yahan se le chalo.

Kartik noticed that naira was in no state of walking. He picked her up bridal style. Kartik slowly took naira where the bike was parked. He made naira sit on the bike.

Kartik :- tina. Tina batao kya hua.

Naira(tina) :- mughe le chalo kartik.

Kartik:- ha chalo chalte hai.

Kartik and naira were going back. Naira was hugging kartik tightly from behind. Her face was buried in his back. Meanwhile kartik was worried.

Kartik(thoughts):-
Ye kya ho gaya isse. Aisa kya hai jisne iski ye halat kar di. Itni jyada dar gai hai. Maine kabhi isko aise nahi dekha.

As they were going back they heard sirens behind them. It was of a police van which was behind them. The van turned to take a different road but it was too much of naira.
She started panicking.

Naira :- kartik. Kartik vo log mughe le jaenge. Maine kuch nahi kiya. Vo mughe jail mein dal denge.

Kartik :- tina. tina kuch nahi hoga tumhe. Koi kahi nahi le jaa raha. Bas meri taraf dhyaan do.

Kartik tried to calm her but couldn't do much as he was driving. He quickly reached the ashram and got off the bike. Naira was still panicking and to his suprise there were tears in her eyes.

Kartik :- tina. tina calm down . Batao mughe kya hua. Pehle cliff phir police. Kya hua tina. Tum mughe bata sakti ho.

Naira(tina):- Maine kuch nahi kiya kartik. Maine kuch bhi nahi kiya.

Naira started crying and her head fell on his chest and her arms around him for support. Kartik was shocked to see his sherni crying. He put his arms around her to console her. He picked naira up and made her sit on a nearby bench.

After some time her crying had subsided.

Kartik :- batao tina. Kya hua tumhe.

Naira(tina) :- kuch nhi. Vo bas.

Kartik :- tina hum dost hai na.

She nods

Kartik :- to kya tum mughe nahi bataogi. Hum bff's hai. Jai Veeru. Hamare bich koi secrete nahi hone chahiye. Please tina batao mughe.

Slowly between her crying naira told kartik everything about her past. Her friend falling from train. Her mother's doubt. Her running away. By the time she was finished , she was crying again.

Kartik cupped her face with both his hands.

Kartik :- tina tum aisa mat socho. Tume kuch nahi hoga kyun ki tumhari koi galti nahi thi. Mai tumhe kuch nahi hone doonga. Ab ye rona band karo. Tum rote hue bilkul achi nahi lagti. Chalo ab smile karo.

Naira smiles a little bit.

Naira :- vaise mera real name tina nahi naira hai.

Kartik :- wow. Kitna sundar naam hai, bilkul tumhari tarah.

Naira blushed on being complemented.

Kartik :- agar bura na lage to ab se main tumhe sirf naira bulaonga.

Naira just nods. Although she had left that name behind, but kartik saying that name stirred something inside her. Something Positive.

Kartik :- acha aao mere saath.

Naira :- kahan.

Kartik :- aao toh.

Kartik took naira to bhutta vendor. He knows how much she loves eating bhutta.

Kartik :- aao bhutta khaate hai.

Naira excitedly orders her bhutta with extra chilli.

Kartik smiled seeing her.

Kartik(thoughts):-
Ye hai meri naira. Hasti hui. Ek dum khush. Mughe aisa kyun lagta hai ki shayad uske maan mein koi galat femi hai. Par ek vaada hai mera naira tumhari zindagi mein aaj se khushiyan bhar doonga. Tumhari aakhon mein mughe sirf khushi ke aason dekhne hai gam ke nahi.

After they eat they went back to the ashram. But before they could enter there rooms naira stopped him by holding his hand. Kartik looked at her and was surprised when she hugged him. Kartik hugged her back.

Naira :- thank you kartik. Thank you for everything. Meri life main aane ke liye. Mughe aapna dost banane ke liye. Mere dukh baatne ke liye. Thank you kartik.

Kartik pulled his face back a bit and stared at her.

Kartik :- naira hum dost hai aur dosti mein no sorry, no thank you.

There faces were so close that there noses were almost touching. Naira realised there postion but was surprised when she realised that she didn't want to pull back. His arms around her felt so comfortable that she didn't want to let go.

Kartik also was mesmerized by her being so close. He was just staring at her beautiful eyes.

After sometime though naira reluctantly pulled back.

Naira :- good night kartik.

Kartik :- good night naira.

They both went to there rooms and after so many days slept blissfully.

After naira has opened about her past to kartik something has changed between them. They have become even more closer to each other. Naira' s feelings for kartik were also increasing day by day but she hasn't figured out what they were.

Currently it was night time. The road was deserted. Naira was walking back to the ashram. She had gotten late today as her clients wanted to visit a lot of places in a single day. She was walking when suddenly 2 goons came before her.

Goon 1:- jo bhi maal hai jaldi nikal.

Naira :- tumhari himmat kaise hui mughe dhamkane ki.

Goon 2:- ae chup chaap jo bhi maal hai hawale kar de.

Naira :- dekho kuch nahi hai mere pass. Tu chahe toh mera bag check kar lo.

Goon 1:- paise nahi hai toh kya hua. Ye haath mein kya hai. Ye chup chap dede humein.

Naira realised what they were asking.

Naira :- dekh tum chahe aur kuch le lo. Par ye main nahi doongi.

Goon 2 :- ye aise nahi manegi.

As he nears towards naira kicks him. The other goon holds naira hand and tries to take of the bracelet. Naira fights to release her hand.

Naira :- chod mughe. Dekhi tum meri jaan lelo. Par ye mein nahi doongi.

Goon :- dede chup chap.

Naira :- nahi doongi. Main nahi doongi ye mughe mere kartik ne diya hai.

As soon as naira said this time freezes for her as she realises what she had said. She had almost gone into a trance when she realised that her hand was still being pulled.
Naira punches him.

The other goon takes out a knife when suddenly they hear footsteps. The goons see 3-4 people running in there direction. They run from there as those people run behind them leaving naira alone again on the Streets.

Naira gently caresses the bracelet as she thinks what she said. And suddenly memories started rolling in her head. Of there first meeting, the first ride they shared together. She remembered all her times with kartik. It was then when suddenly something clicked inside her head as she realised her feelings for kartik.

Naira :- I love kartik. Isliye mere maan usse door hone par tadpta hai. Usse baat kare bina nahi raha jaata. Usse dekhe bina nahi raha jata.

After a long time naira had felt such emotions for someone and currently she was on cloud nine as she happily walked towards the ashram. After reaching the ashram the first person she saw was pungi. Naira excitedly hugged her. Even pungi was surprised as after a long time she was such happy.

Pungi :- kya hua.

Naira :- pyaar ho gaya mughe.

Pungi :- kartik se.

Naira :- haa. Ek min. tughe kaise pata.

Pungi :- please huh. Tum dono ki aakhon mein dikhta hai ek doosre ke liye. Balki tum dono ko dekh kar ye koi nahi keh sakta ki tum dono couple nahi ho.

Naira :- matlab vo bhi mughe.

Pungi :- haa baba haa. Usne kabhi bataya nahi par ek baat ko guarantee hai ki woh bhi tughse bahut pyar karta hai.

After learning this naira was on cloud 9. She hugged pungi again.

Naira :- main kartik se milke aati hoo.

Pungi :- vo abhi nahi aaya hai. Keh raha tha aaj aane mein der ho jaegi.

Naira :- ohh acha.

Pungi :- sad maat hoo. Abhi so jaa. Kal baat kar lena usse.

Unknown to both of them kartik had just come when he had seen naira hugging pungi. He has seen there entire conversation. Kartik was extremely happy.

Kartik(thoughts):-
Iska matlab meri sherni bhi mughse pyaar karti hai. Thank you krishna ji aapne meri baat sun li. Mughe meri zindagi ki sabse badi khushi dedi. Aapne mughe meri sherni dedi. Thank you so much. Bas ab aur intezar nahi. Bahut jald hi main tumhe apne dil ki baat keh doonga.

Excitedly kartik went into his room and started thinking of ways on how to propose to naira. Suddenly his phone ringed. It was his dad.

Manish :- hello beta. Kaise ho?? Training kaisi chal rahi hai??

Kartik :- vo sab baad mein Papa. Pehle ye batao ki aapne maa ko kaise propose kara tha.

Manish :- acha. Toh iska matlab Tina ko propose karne ka plan hai.

Kartik :- haa papa. Mughe abhi pata chala ki vo bhi mugh se pyaar karti hai. Ab toh mein usse propose kar hi doonga. Itni dino tak uski feelings ko leke sure nahi tha. Par ab aur wait nahi kar sakta.

Manish laughed :- acha thik hai. To meri kahani to ye hai ki......

After that the father duo talked for sometime and kartik did get various ideas on how to propose to naira.
