Thank you for your lovely response. I am really sorry for the late update. I was actually trying to add in a Kaira scene. Finally was able to do a very insy winsy part at the end.
--------------
The doctor had come, did Naira's check up and announced everything to be perfectly alright, then only Karthik was fully relaxed. All the family members asked Naira to take some rest as it was a very hectic day.
Karthik left his and Naira's room after he saw his wife fall asleep, he was passing by Akshara Naitik's room, when he heard Gayu and Akshara's conversation.
"Mami kya hua aap andar hi andar muskura rahi hai", asked Gayu
"Aaj mein bahut khush hun, aaj dus saalon ke baad meri beti ne mujhe hug kiya. Haan shayad anjane mein hi sahi, lekin jab woh mujhe galle laga kar karthik ki shikiyat kar rahi thi, mujhe 10 saal phele wale din yaad agaye jab woh mujhe ya naitik ko hug karti aur Naksh ki complaint karti.", said Akshara
"Naira, mujh se ghussa thi issi liye aaj maa ke qareeb gayi. Kya meri aur Naira ki duriyan, Naira aur uss ki family ke beech ki nazdikiyon ki wajhe ban sakti hai.", wondered Karthik as he walked ahead.
-----------------
"Karthik", a voice called, Karthik came out of his thoughts as he felt someone shaking him, he looked to see Annanya standing there.
"What happened, where were you lost, I was calling out to you from so long", she asked.
"Kuch nahi di", lied Karthik
"When I came you were saying something like, tum ne Naira ko purri tarhe se wapis nahi diya, uss ka kya matlab tha Karthik.", asked Ananya and Karthik told her all about Naira's misunderstandings.
"Mujhe bua aur phupaji ke liye bahut burra lag raha hai, woh Naira se bahut zyada pyaar karte hai, woh Naira ke iss behaviour se bahut hurt ho rahe honge.", said Ananya sadly.
"Sirf woh dono nahi, Naira bhi andar se khush nahi hai, main janta hun usse, woh bahar yeh dikhane ki koshish karti hai ke woh nafrat karti hai magar aisa nahi hai. ek baar papa ko ek pin thoda sa chuba, uss ne concern nahi dikhiya lekin main ne uss ki ankhon mein dard dekha tha.", spoke Karthik
"Humein aisa kuch toh karna hoga jiss se Naira melt ho, uski misunderstandings khatam ho jaye", Ananya told Karthik
"Phir se kahan kho gaye, tum kiss barien mein soch rahe ho, sacch sacch batao. Yeh mat kehna kuch nahi hai, I know there is something", she asked looking at her BIL's lost expressions.
"Naira mere close hai aur mere yahan rehte woh sab ke close nahi jayegi, if I need to lessen her distance with everyone else in the family. I will need to go away from her. But I can't just leave, the only reason Naira is staying here is because I said I want to be with her through out the pregnancy. Agar mein koyi bahana bana kar chala bhi jaon, then she is going to insist on coming with me. The only way I can assure that we both stay apart is agar mein usse jhagda karun, sirf physically nahi, mentally bhi khud ko usse dur kard dun, phir hi woh ma.......", Karthik was cut off by Ananya.
"Phir kuch nahi, this is a terrible idea Karthik. Mujhe yahan aye 2 ghante bhi nahi huye but I can feel how strong yours and Naira's bond is. Tell me a thing do you think if you fake a fight, Naira won't realize you are acting. You both have been together for 10 years now, that is a lot of time, meri aur ranveer ki shaadi ko bhi das saal hogaye hai and I know him very well, woh kab ghusse hai, pareshan hai, unka mood kaisa hai, mujhe pata hota hai, without him telling anything and am sure Naira ke liye bhi same hoga. Now if Naira ko lagga ke just to bring her close to the family tum uss se dur ja rahe ho, woh family se nafrat karne lagge gi", tells Ananya KArthik thinks about it, he remembers him making excuses of work so that Naira spends time with family and how Naira got mad at him.
