I know last chapter had no Kaira. This one is not exactly Kairalicious but it does have Kaira. Hope you all have a good read.

It was afternoon. Naira had woken up. Everyone was gathered at the dinning table where all Naira's favourite dishes that were prepared by Akshara and Naitik are arranged. Karthik bought Naira to the table.
"Naira bitya ao betho", said Rajshri pulling out a chair for Naira.
Naira looked at the table, all her favourites were there, with one look she knew which ones were made by her father and which ones her mother made, because they looked the same as they used to look 10 years back. The burgers had ketchup smileys, on the badam halwa 'Naira' was written using raisins. She remembered whenever Akshara used to make halwa, she always used to make some design or write a name with raisins. She looked at Karthik who gave her a pleading look so she sat down. Everybody became very.
Akshara kept a plate infront of her and everyone fills it with all the items lying on the table. All were standing behind Naira's chair eagerly waiting for her to start eating, but Naira pushed the plate aside, took a glass of water drank it and was about to get up, but Karthik kept a hand on her shoulder, keeping her down.
"Kya hua Naira, why aren't you eating anything. Yeh sab toh tumhari man pasand dishes hai", asked Varsha
"Itne saalon mein choices badal jati hai.", said Naira
"Tum jo kaho, hum woh bana lenge tumhare liye princess", Naitik spoke caressing her hair.
"Apka ya Apke praviaar ka, baniya hua kuch bhi mujhe acha nahi lagega", replied Naira harshly, pushing Naitik's hand away from her hair.
Karthik took his seat infront of Naira and bought the plate that everyone filled, closer to her, he took some noodles in the fork and placed it near her mouth. "Naira koyi bahna nahi chalega. Tum pregnant ho, you should eat well. Iss tarha meal skip nahi karna chaiye and yeh sab ghar ka khana hai, it is all good for your health. Chalo kaho", Karthik told her calmly but sternly. Naira at once ate the noodles that were on the fork, because she knew Karthik would not tolerate her missing lunch.
"main khiladun, ya baki sab tum kahlogi", Karthik asked more lovingly this time
"Tum khilado, baby ko apne papa ke haath se kahana hai", replied Naira cutely placing his hand on her stomach.
Everyone sat down around the table to have their lunch. Kaira fed each other.
---------------------
Yash, Rose, Mohit, Nandini, Anmol and Rukmani dadi entered
"Humari Naira kaha hai", asked Nandini and everyone's eyes drifted to Naira. Nandini walked towards her. "Tum bahut pyaari ho,", said Nandini touching her cheeks affection
"Di app sab toh phele anne wale the", stated Naitik
"Woh kya hai, yeh samajh mein nahi araha tha hum kya le aye, tumhari princess ke liye", replied Mohit
"Naira, this is for you", said Rose handing a wrapped box over to her. Naira looked at her not being able to recognize. Rose realized and introduced herself.
"I am Rose, Yash's wife and your bhabhi. Well tum bhi meri bhabhi ho as Karthik is my mun bola bhai.", Rose cleared her confusion
"Am still angry at you. I thought I was like your sister. How come you never told me anything about your wife and a coming little baby too. You know how mad I am at you.", Rose expressed her anger to Karthik
"Sorry", apologized Karthik holding his ears.
"Isse pehchana", asked Rukmani pushing Anmol forward, Naira gave a confused look
"Anmol, dekho mera bacha kitna handsome hogaya hai", said Rukmani as usual bragging about her favourite grandson
"Welcome back Naira", greeted Anmol in a formal polite way.
"Waise am sure tumne mujhe bhi nahi phechana hoga", said Gayu
"Aap Gayu di hai ne", said Naira
"Phechan liya tumne, kaise", asked Gayu
"Main ne sunna, sab apko Gayu bula rahe the", replied Naira
"Mujhe toh recognize kiya hoga, main badli kaha hun. 16 years ki hogi hoon, lekin ab bhi sirf 6 years ki lagti hun", said Mishti her eyes going a bit moist talking about her height. Naira went down on her knees.
"Hum dikhne mein kaise ho yeh zaruri nahi. Humara dil saaf ho yeh zaruri hai", Naira told Mishti sweetly
"Lekin sab school mein mazak udate hai", Mishti told her.
"Toh udane do unnhe, unki baton par dhyaan mat dena. Logon ka kaam hai kehna. Tum janti ho tum dil se achi ho, sirf yeh zaruri hai aur kuch nahi", Naira replied with love
"Aap bahut achi hai, Naira Di", said Mishti hugging her. Everyone happy seeing them bond. Naira notices
"What do you think you are doing Naira. You should not let any of them enter your heart.", Naira told herself and then left the hall.
"Time lagega, but she will come around", said Karthik and everyone smiled
"Magar kaise. I know she softened up to Mishti a bit, but her anger is against bhabhi and bhaiya mainly and abhi tak that hasn't lessened", reminded Naman and everyone's faces feel hearing that
"It is not even been a day, Naman sir, we need to give her some time.", replied Karthik
"I saw the way she looked at the table, she recognized that the food items were prepared by who, if the bad memories are fresh in her mind, the good memories are there too. She has misunderstandings but lot of love in her as well.", added Karthik.
