AT THE PARTY VENUE

It had been more than 48 hours since the last interaction between Kaira. Kartik spent most of his time arranging for the launch for his new Gold Jewellery collection. Although he missed her yet he didn't let his work get affected by this. He waited for her message or call but she didn't. He hadn't heard about her from last two days since he left her there at the apartment. He still had a hope in the heart somewhere that she will not let him down and attend his party.

The party started an hour back and he was busy with some investors when the singhanias came. He excused himself and went to welcome them. Somewhere he hoped to see her but all his hopes came crashing down when he couldn't spot her. Nevertheless he plastered a smile on his face and welcomed them. He couldn't be angry when he himself gave her the choice. He greeted them and got busy with Naksh and Keerti while elders decide to join others.

Keerti: I hope desert mei kuch acha hoga.
Kartik: I thought you were here to congratulate me. Maine tere desert k liye party nhi organize ki.
Keerti: everyone have their own priorities.
Naksh(giving him a bouquet): Congrats Kartik.
Kartik: thank you and (they were interrupted by Shubham)
Shubham: hii jiju kahan rehte ho aaj kal.
Keerti: shubham tujhse na maine bohat time se ek baat puchni thi
Shubham: toh rok kaun raha hai. Puchiye puchiye
Keerti: tu apne jiju aur bhabhi k jyada hi close nhi hogya. Jaise voh tere saghe bhai bhen ho aur hum sautela
Shubham: aave hi. Maina aisa kab kiya.
Keerti: haina kartik
Shubham: onse kya puch rahe he himself is smitten by Bhabhi.
Kartik(clearing his throat): guys I will join you later. I have guests to attend.

Kartik wasn't interested talking about her when he was trying hard to act normal. He excused himself and went to welcome his guests. His siblings did notice his change of expressions and felt bad for him. They didn't know what exactly happened day before yesterday but guessed that it didn't happen in his favour. They didn't know whom they should support. But right now they did felt bad for him and were disappointed that she didn't attend the party. It was the outcome of his 2 and half months. Kartik was busy when his phone vibrated.

IN NAIRA'S SIDE

She had been busy helping advith with arrangements. His injuries were making it difficult for him to manage the things. She spent the last two days doing his part of work and didn't get the chance to talk to Kartik. She didn't have the courage to talk to him also. After gathering lots of courage she picked her phone and messaged him to come out. She was in her car along with the driver. She came out of her car and waited for his reply.

Her family didn't have much conversation with her in the last two days as she kept her herself busy in her world when she was at home. They also decided not to interrupt her as they knew it was of no use. Her stubbornness is one of the trait she got from her father. She kept looking at her phone for his reply standing near the back door. There was a media in the front and she wasn't ready for that mess. She was about to call him for the last time or else she will have to enter on her own. Her phone was snatched from her ear within the snap of fingers and she was caged between the wall and Kartik.

Naira: kartik
Kartik: who the hell told you to come here?
Naira(hurt): whatt. Tum nhi chahte the mai yahan aau
Kartik(running his hands through his hairs): I mean to say why didn't you use the front door yahan kyu khadi ho. It isn't safe Naira yahan security bhi nhi hai and you have the audacity to stand here and talking to someone on the bloody call. Are you insane or what.
Naira: I am sorry I didn't want to face the media and all. Lekin galti tumhari bhi hai
Kartik: how am I at fault. Maine kaha yahan aake khaane hone ko
Naira: tumne party arrange ki hai so you should look after the security.
Kartik: tumhare jaise sab log nhi hai. Voh sab front door de hi aa rahe hai.
Naira: of course mere jaisa koi hai bhi nhi.
Kartik: of course bhagwan bhi baar baar ek hi galti nhi karna chahte the.
Naira(scoffing): what just you said.
Kartik: exactly that you just heard.
Naira(stomping her foot): I am going back leave me
Kartik(pulling her back and caging her): do you think I will let you go now. Just like God I too won't repeat my mistakes.
Naira(closing her eyes sensing the closeness between them): I didn't forgive you yet.
Kartik(placing a kiss on her neck): can I know why I would be the only one who will apologise. You are at equal fault. (Continuing placing his at her shoulder as she was wearing an off shoulder dress)
Naira(moaning his Name): Kartikk
Kartik(wrapping his arms around her and hiding his face in the crook of her neck): I missed you.
Naira: everyone would be looking for you.
Kartik: I don't care. I have my priorities.
Naira: you are the host Kartik stop being a stubborn.
Kartik: first promise me you won't leave me now.
Naira(kissing his forehead): I won't.
