Kartik called Naira around 5 in the evening to send the blue file from the study.
Naira: Okay...
Kartik(looking for the topics to talk): Okay!! Bas, aur kuch nahi?
Naira: Tumhe aur bhi kuch chahiye?
Kartik: Haan...Tum!!
Naira(Being lost): Theek hai Bye.

And she cuts the call without giving him any chance to reciprocate further. She was so engrossed in her troubles that she didn't realise, her husband is getting romantic with her and she being duffer spoiled his mood.

After some duration of hours, Naira was in her room watching TV, but she was so lost that she didn't realise when Kartik came and switched off the TV. He called her for 3-4 times but he didn't get a single response from her.

Now he was pretty sure that there is something which is bothering her from inside since from the last night. Going near her, he patted on her shoulder making her realise his presence.

He was home early as he was getting some feeling that Naira is not happy. She doesn't seems alright like the way she used to. So he thought to go home early and give her a surprise in order to chill her mood and perhaps get the chance to ask about the actual reasons of being upset.

Naira(Seeing him): Tum kab aaye? Maine file toh bhejwa di thi?
Kartik(Holding her arms): Relax. File mujhe mil chuki hai.
Naira(while getting up): Main tumhare liye coffee le kar aati hun.
Kartik(making her sit by holding her hand): Mujhe coffee nahi chahiye. Naira....
But she cuts him off in between.

Naira: Toh kuch aur bana dun?
Kartik: Mujhe kuch bhi nahi chahiye...You just come and sit. I need to talk to you.
Naira(looking at him): Hmm...
Kartik: Kya hua hai? Tum upset kyun sound kar rahi ho?
Naira: Nahi...main toh theek hun.
Kartik: Agar theek ho toh mujhe aisa kyun nahi lag raha hai?

She remained silent and was buzy in playing with her ring finger, ignoring his eyes. When suddenly he pulled her from her seat and made her sit on his lap.

Kartik: Naira what is bothering you since last night? I want to know? I won't let you go untill and unless you tell me.

And this was more than enough to speak out all her anger, sadness, distressful and everything which was pinching like a needle to her from inside.

Thus, a drop of tear slipped from her eyes unknown to her but was noticed by Kartik. Gently he lifted her chin up and wipped her tears from his thumb and said Naira please...Batao...

Taking a Moment....

"Don't you trust me?" He further asked.

Naira: No..No..Kartik it's not like that. I trust you, immensely.

And saying this she narrated him the whole thing with her shivering lips as she don't want to face that angry side of him.

After listening to her thoroughly, he got a bit angry and he said "I will talk to maa." And started getting up.

But she didn't let him up saying "I told you the whole matter because I trust you but I don't want you to take stand for me. It will be better if I make maa understand. So that she won't feel hurt."

Kartik(Being calm): Okay, But on one condition?
Naira: Kya?
Kartik: If you won't go to office tomorrow then definitely I am talking to her.
Naira: Okay done. I won't bunk office from tomorrow onwards.

In the Living area:
While Kartik and Naira were coming downstairs...
Swarna: Arre Kartik, tum kab aaye? Naira tumne bataya nahi, Kartik aa gaya hai?
Kartik: Maa main bas abhi-abhi aaya hun...Isse bhi nahi pata tha.
Swarna: Acha...Tum kya loge? Tea ya coffee?
Kartik: Coffee.
Naira: maa main bana deti hun. Aap kya lengi?
Swarna: Mere liye bhi coffee bana do.

Everyone settled down in the hall area while having Tea and evening snacks. Since everyone was home early then the usual timing.
While Naira was busy preparing food for Dinner.

At night, In KAIRA Room:
Kartik was working on his laptop when Naira entered the room,
Kartik: Naira...main tumhe batana bhul gaya actually. Mujhe award milne wala hai!! Tum chalogi na mere saath?
Naira(getting excited): Award!! Wow!! Ofcourse chalungi. Kab hai?
Kartik: Next week, Friday.
Naira: Thik hai. Award kyun?
Kartik: Kyun? Tumhe apne pati ki kaabiliyat par bharosa nahi hai.
Naira: Nahi...Maine aisa kab kaha? Main toh bas genuine puch rahi thi.
Kartik(In a teasing tone): Genuine puch rahi thi ya phir shaq kar rahi thi?
Naira: Arre batao na please. Mujhe bahut curiosity ho rahi hai jaanne k liye.
Kartik: Mujhe "Best Emerging Entrepreneur" ka award mil raha hai.
Naira: "Best Entrepreneur" Wow!! That's great. Tumhe kab pata chala?
Kartik: Mujhe aaj hi morning mein call aaya. Papa ko jab maine bataya, He was on cloud nine. Aur unhone mujhse ek gift dene ka promise kiya hai...ab ye mat puchna kya hai kyunki woh abhi surprise hai.

"Waise Tum mujhe kya gift dogi?" He intentionally asked being Naughty.

Naira: Main!! Tumhe kya gift chahiye bolo?
Kartik: Jo mujhe chahiye, woh tum dogi?
Naira: Haan kyun nahi. Tum bolo toh?
Kartik: Soch lo? You can't back off afterwards.
Naira: Why will I back off? Aisa kuch maangna Jo main de sakun.
Kartik: Haan..ofcourse..woh sirf mujhe tumse hi chahiye aur sirf tum hi mujhe de Sakti ho.
Naira(Now she understood his mischief mind): No..No..Tum Jo soch rhe ho...that's not possible.

While saying this, a sudden blush crept on her lips and tends to leave but he was very fast and instantly he got her hold.

Kartik: Tumhe kaise pata ki main kya soch raha hun?
Naira: Mujhe ache se pata hai ki Tumhare iss khurapati dimag mein kya chal raha hai.
Kartik: Agar itna hi pata hai toh de do mujhe Jo chahiye. Itna wait kyun karwa rahi ho?
Naira(Blushing hard): Nahi...mujhe neend aa rahi hai, Good night.
Kartik(holding her arms more tighter from the back): Aise kaise neend aa rahi hai. Agar tumhe nahi pata toh main bata deta hun...

Coming near her ear, he whispered "Mujhe ek Kiss chahiye."

Naira widened her eyes and out of shyness she was not capable to look at him.

Kartik turned her to himself and said in a husky voice "I am waiting."

Naira was so blushing hard that she was unable to face him. Initially she promised him for the gift but she didn't thought that this promise will trap her into it.

Slowly and gradually, with a bit move and shivering lips as well, standing on her tip-toes, she kissed his cheeks and ran away.

Kartik: This is cheating. I was talking about the real one.
Naira: But you didn't mention anything like that.
Kartik: SMART...mere saath chalaki 😏 Fine...You will pay for this very soon.
