Crash & Care

Chapter 17

K: Perfect!

Kartik switches on the T.V., connects the Karaoke set, gets the mike on the bed and gives it to Naira.

K: Pehle tum
N: Okay

Naira sings the first song in a very melodious voice. Kartik is just staring at Naira with all smiles, wondering how beautifully she sings. After the song is completed, Kartik gives her an applause 👏🏻.
Now it's Kartik's turn, she passes on the mike to him. Kartik starts singing.

Naira thinks to herself: Ye kya kiya Naira tumne! Khud apne hi pair pe kulhadi mar di! Ab kab khatam hoga ye song! Bas ab aur nai sun sakti me...

The song ends, Naira fake smiles.

K: Acha gaaya na mene?
N *fake smiling* : Bilkul nai! Acha hua tum actor ho..
K: Kyu? Mera actor hona isse kaise connected he...
N: Connected he na! Vo T.V. pe tumhe khali lip sync karna hota he na...song toh background me bajta he..agar asli me sablog ne tumhe gaate hue sun liya na toh saara audience bhaag jayega tumhara...

Naira has a hearty laugh. Kartik is disappointed at Naira's remark. He smirks sadly😏.

K: Tum bohot buri ho
N: Mujhe pata he! Thank You! Bas ab bohot ho gaya Karoake! Bohot sun liya mene tumhe!
K: Toh ab?
N: Kuch khelte he?
K: Koi board game?
N: Nai! Hum do jan me konsa board game khelenge! Do logo me maza nai aayega!
K: Toh tum hi kuch suggest karo?
N: Truth & Dare?
K *eyes widen*: Kya? Truth & Dare khelna he tumhe? Aisi tuti phuti halat me? Kya dare karogi tum!
N: Vo mujhe dekhna he! Me kar lungi! Tum jao kitchen se bottle leke aao

Kartik gets a bottle from the kitchen.

K: Ready?
N: Always!

Kartik spins the bottle. The bottle faces Naira.

K: Toh Truth or Dare?

Kartik thinks to himself: Dare bolna chahiye isse..please please..

N: Dare

Kartik gives an evil smile.

N: Aise kyu has rahe ho? Tumne already soch rakha he kua koi dare?
K: Haa! Tum ruko

Kartik gets up from the bed, gets Naira's medicine box and a glass of water, removes her medicines on his palm and forwards it towards Naira.

K: Tumhe ye saari medicines khani he! Bina drama kiye..
N *pouts*: Ye toh cheating he! Me nai khane wali
K: Naira! Dare he! Chalo khao..drama nai..

Naira pops a the medicines with a frown.

N: Tum bohot bure ho!
K: Ha pata he mujhe.. Thank you *gives an evil smile*
N: Chalo continue karte he

Kartik again spins the bottle. It again lands on Naira.

K: Waah wapas tumhari turn. Truth or Dare?
*Kartik again gives a mysterious & evil smile*

Naira thinks to herself: Ab ye wapas aise has raha he! Pakka isne kuch aur bhi socha he..Risk nai lete he Naira

N: Truth! Pucho jo puchna he...
K: Hmmm! Sochne do *Kartik thinks for a few seconds*

His fingers are tapping his chin gesturing that he is thinking of something devilish. While Naira thinks to herself: Pata nai kya puchega ye ab!

K: Acha Naira mujhe sach sach batana kya tumhe sachi vo doctor mujhse zyada handsome lagta he?
N: Sach batau?
K: Haa

Kartik's eyesbrows raise. He was very eager to know her answer & Naira sensed that.

N: Toh suno! Tum duniya ke sabse handsome insaan ho!
K *smirks😐*: Naira jhooth mat bolo! Sachi batao
N: Arre sachi!
K: Toh fir aise handsome handsome kyu bolti rehti ho usse...
N: Vo isliye kyuki mujhe mera jeko pati bohot pasand he.. Tum itne cute lagte ho na jabhi bhi mujhe leke possessive ho jaate ho *Naira pulls Kartik's cheek with her left hand* Aur waise bhi vo doctor dikhne me jaisa bhi ho, usse mujhe koi farak nai padta. Mujhe pata he mera Kartik best he, dikhne me bhi aur dil se bhi. Koi mujhe tumhare jitna pyaar thodi na kar sakta he! Itni care karte ho tum meri, itna dhyaan rakhte ho mera, aisa koi aur kar hi nai sakta. Tum uss doctor toh kya is duniya me baki sabse bohot bohot bohot ache ho! Best ho! Tumhe kisise bhi insecure hone ki zaroorat bilkul nai he...ye Naira sirf aur sirf tumhari sar dard he aur tumhari hi rahegi..Sirf iss janam me nahi next jitne bhi janam he sab me...

Naira leans forward and kisses Kartik.

N: I love you Kartik!

Kartik was so satisfied that he blushes at Naira's answer. Kartik was overwhelmed that it showed on his face. He just couldn't stop smiling.
Naira looks at Kartik blushing and does the customary "Hayee". Kartik comes forward, holds Naira in his arm and gives a kiss on her forehead.

K: I love you too Naira!

Naira smiles.

N: Chalo ab game continue karte he!
K: Haa

Kartik spins the bottle. This time it lands on Kartik.

N: Finally! So Mr. Goenka, Truth or Dare?
K: Dare
N: Acha *Naira gives an evil smile while thinking of some mischievous dare*
