After the sangeet and mehendi, today was the wedding. Both the families reached the venue.

"Everything is done mumma don't worry! And bhai is also ready. Maansi told that Keerti bhabi is ready too." Naira tried to calm Akshara down, as her tension increased.

"Maami you come with me, others have managed everything, bhai is calling you." Gayu said taking her inside.

Naira turned to go but his voice stopped her in her tracks, and she turned to look at him.

"How are you now?" He asked slowly.

"Mujhe kya hona hai? Main toh theek hi hu." Naira replied looking back at him.

"Mujhe puchna hi nahi chahiye tha." Kartik said narrowing his eyes at her.

"Areey! Tume ho kya jaata hai? Ek din acche hote ho, aur dusre din khadoos jaise behave karte ho!" Naira said.

"Main? Khadoos? Maine ek simple sa question pucha tha, tume kal chot lagi thi na, woh puch raha tha, lekin tum..."

"Ohh woh, haan theek hai ab."She spoke.

"Tum meri fikr karne ka naatak karte ho, ya sachhi fikr karte ho?" Naira asked folding her arms, and smiled playfully at him.

"Fikr karne ka naatak nahi karta, lekin haan, kabhi kabhi, fikr nahi karta, yeh naatak zaroor karta hu." He smiled back and walked away.

And once again, Naira was caught up with his words. Everytime he would say something like this, which would kee running in her mind, for the longest. She herself struggled with her mind, about her feelings for him.

Soon the wedding rituals started and once thst all was done, everyone congratulated the new couple. Naira and Kartik were assembling everything, until dadi called.

"Kittu, zara aana yahaan." Dadi said.

"Accha ruko, main aata hu, dadi is calling." Kartik said and walked to go, but Naira held his hand, to stop, and he turned back.

"Tume thodi bula rahi woh, kittu ko bula rahi hai, tum meri help karo na yahaan." Naira said, and Kartik looked at her confusingly.

"Naira, main hi kittu hu..." He raised his eyebrows. The next moment, Naira broke into laughter.

"Tum...tum kittu ho?" She asked between her laughs.

"Arrey nickname hai, pyaar se bulati hai dadi aise." Kartik looked at her.

"Bohot funny...mera matlab cute hai." She said controlling her laughter still.

"Tumhara bhi toh hoga na...."

"Nahi, mujhe sab Naira hi bulate hai!"

"Sir..." A person walked in with a parcel.

"Yes?" Kartik and Naira turned towards him.

"Your name sir? I have this parcel..."

"Ka.." Naira cut him off.

"Kittu!" She said controlling herself from laughing, and Kartik glared at her.

"Sir can you give this to Kartik sir?" He said and handed over the parcel and left.

"Tume mujhe irritate karna bohot accha lagta hai na!" Kartik turned towards Naira.

"Nahi, irritate karke tumhare expressions dekh ke mazaa aata hai!" She chuckled

Unknowingly looking at her, Kartik smiled too.

"Kitttuuuu!" She called him, smiling. "Kahan khoye hue ho!" Naira asked placing her hand on his shoulder gaining his attention.

"Khayaalo mein...." Kartik whispered unknowingly.

"Tumhari girlfriend ki?" Naira laughed

"Meri koi girlfriend nahi hai!"

"Tch tch, lekin tum itne bhi kuch bure nahi lagte, lekin haan, ab tum jaise paagal ko koi mere jaise hi sambhaale!" Naira chuckled. "Though I am not your girlfriend."

"Chaahe toh ban sakti ho." Kartik said and instantly covered his mouth, realizing what he had said.

"Kartik, chup bhi nahi reh sakte! Last time jab apni baat batayi thi, hosh mein na hoke hi sahi, uske consequences dekh liye thhe, ab aise nahi hone dena hai." Kartik thought to himself.

"Tum na mujhe kabhi kabhi bade hi ajeeb lagte ho. Kuch samjh hi nahi aate tumhari yeh baatein." Naira said facepalming herself.

"Jo bhi hai, this side of mine is only reserved to you." He smiled.

"Aisa kya? Kya special hai?"

"Tum!"

"Haan?" Naira frowned at him.

"I mean, humari dosti! Dosti se badhke kya special ho sakta hai." Kartik covered up.

"Kittu!" Naira pouted while Kartik glared at her.

"Don't call me that!"

"Okay, toh Kartik, tum na mere saath rehke thode se smart hogaye ho!" Naira said smiling.

"Aur tum mere saath rehke thodi paagal, lekin yeh jay ko yeh veeru ki pagalpanti acchi lagti hai." He smiled back at her.

"Jay veeru?" Naira narrowed her eyes at him.

"Haan, dosti, jay veeru jaisi!" Kartik said, and Naira nodded, passing a smile at him.

"Tumne realize kiya, tumne abhi khud ko hi paagal kaha!"

"Haan yeh bhi tumhari pagalpanti ka asar hai!" Kartik replied

"Main koi pagal nahi hu!"

"Haan haan tum toh leader ho unki!" Kartik chuckled.

"Pata hai, mere jagah koi aur hota na, toh bardaasht hi nahi karta tumhe!" Naira said folding her arms.

"Tumhari jagah koi aur chahiye bhi nahi na mujhe!" Kartik said, once again making Naira lost in the thoughts of his words.
