Flashback continued-

Kartik stopped his car in a place as the lady asked him to. She got down off the car along with him.

K "Aunty yeh hai apka ghar? It's quite beautiful." He complimented.

"Thank you beta, Lekin mera nahi meri beti ka sasural hai." She answered smiling.

K "Oh toh aap unse milne aayi hai. I think yaha koi function hai." He said seeing all decorations around the house.

"Haan, Ek choti si function hai."

K "Acha aab main chalta hoon. Please take care."

"Arey aise kaise? Andar toh aao. Tumne meri itni help ki."

K "Koi baat nahi Aunty. Aap apna dyaan rakhna. Sorry I can't come." He replied with a small smile.

"Dekho maine tumhari baat sunne ke mann gayi. Aab tumhe bhi manni padegi."

And he couldn't refuse her anymore. But it was really awkward to walk in a unknown place.

Kartik walked inside when he got amazed seeing someone there.

K "Naksh!"

Naksh "Kartik? What a surprise!" They both exclaimed in shock and hugged each-other happily.

K "Tum yaha?" He asked as Naksh's family gathered around them. Kartik greeted everyone politely before he asked that question.

Naksh "Yeh toh mujhe puchna chahiye tum mere ghar pe meri Nani ke saath kya kar rahe ho?" He asked.

K "What? Yeh tumhari Nani hai?" He asked looking at her and she nodded.

"Actually kya hua.." He described the whole scene and his family understood the situation.

"Acha tumlog batao tumdono kaise jante ho ek dusre ko?" Akshara, Naksh's mother asked.

Naksh "Nani, Main Manali trip pe gaya tha tab uske sath meri dosti hogayi. Waha se aane ke baad phir kabhi milna nahi hua. Aur dusri baat ye hai ki ye Keerti ka Bhai hai." He replied and everyone gaped in surprise.

Keerti and Naksh are in a relationship but only their family members knew this.

Naksh "Aap usse nahi jante kyuki yeh janab US se 2 din pehle hi aaya hai. Main bhi kaha mil paya tha. Baas jane se pehle ekbaar mila tha aur humari mulaqat hogayi phirse."

"Keerti ne bataya tha Tumare bare mein..
Chalo aaj dekh bhi liya." Naitik, Naksh's father said smiling.

K "Nice meeting you all. Actually main apni personal issues leke busy tha. Keerti ne kitni baar kaha milne ke liye but I could not. Aab toh roz milna hoga. Main chalta hoon Aunty."

"Tum mujhe Nani bula sakte ho..Main Naksh ki nani hoon. Toh tumhari bhi hui nah." Kartik just grinned at her sweet gesture.

K "Okay Nani, vaise aapko pata hai aap bohot sweet hai."

"And you miss sweety, kya naam hai apka?" He asked when he felt a pretty girl around age 6 was staring at him.

"Mishti."

K "Such a pretty name." He said pulling her cheeks.

"Aap bhi bohot cute ho."

K "Thank you pretty lady. Okay main chalta hoon."

Naksh "Come, let's go." Kartik nodded.

Strange is someone was not there. Not yet.
Day passed and Kartik used to visit Singhania sadan most of the time. Eventually he had a great bond with them, especially with Nani.
