The next morning Naira wakes up as the sun rays fall on her face. Her mind wanders around and finally she realises where she is. The long journey and the shocking happenings of the previous night have taken toll on her thus making her tired as hell. As she gets to her feet she hears footsteps and looks up to see Ms. Johnson walking in with a tray

Ms.Johnson: Good morning mam, sir asked me to wake you up, glad that you are up by yourself
Naira: Good morning Ms.Johnson, whats the time now?
Ms.Johnson: Its 9 am mam
Naira: Oh gosh, Kartik said that we have a meeting, Im late
Naira rushes to the restroom to freshen up. After minutes when she is out she is startled to see Kartik there
Naira: Im sorry..I....
Kartik: You need not be sorry, I know how worse jet lags can be. Take your time and get ready.
Naira: But the lawyers...
Kartik: Lawyers will wait till Mrs.Goenka gets ready
Saying so Kartik walks out.
Naira's POV: Mrs.Goenka....that feels good when heard in his voice...now Naira get ready...you already overslept.
She gets busy with getting ready and the scene freezes

Sameer: Good morning Kartik and Naira
Naira: Sameer tum...
Sameer: Its such a big day for my friend, why wont I be here...but I see no excitement in both of you..Kartik you have been waiting for three years for this...
Sameer notices Naira's surprise and Kartik's silence
Sameer: Bro..dont tell me that you haven't told Naira about this
Just before Kartik could reply the lawyer's assistant walks to them
Assistant: Sir you can come in now
Kartik walks in followed by Naira and Sameer
Naira in a whisper to Sameer: Whats it?
Sameer: Kartik didn't tell you?
Naira nods in affirmation
Sameer: Then he will tell now...I can't let this out ...he deserves the happiness of telling you
Naira in mind: Oh fo...Sameer yaar tum bhi...from yesterday everything is so strange....argghhh this Kartik Goenka is so confusing first he marries me in all haste and then ghosts me for three years...when I am back he shifts into a separate villa with me...yells at house helps for letting me work, tortures a man and enjoys it, now this lawyer office secret..cant he do anything in a transparent way
Meanwhile Kartik is going through the papers and turns to Naira
Kartik: Naira the time has come for which I was waiting since our marriage, my dream is coming true now, sign these papers and take charge as the CEO of Singhania Diamonds and make me live my dream
Naira is dumbstruck to hear the words CEO of Singhania Diamonds. Tears start to run down her cheeks without her knowledge.

Just then Sameer's mobile rings and it is Naina, he picks up the video call
Naina: Sameer...has Naira signed the papers yet?
Sameer: Not yet
Naina: Thank God Im on time..give the mobile to her
Sameer brings the mobile to Naira, Naina notices her tears
Naina: Oh fo my baby is crying..what happened Naira?
Naira: Woh...woh...mein....CEO ......this is not a dream right?
Naina: Why do you feel that it is a dream?
Naira: Actually...Papa...till he was alive....he always said that Im a big disappointment to him and I can never succeed him in his business....Im such a disgrace as Im a girl and girls cam never carry on the family legacy or the family business..I never thought that one day Ill be the CEO...as I also started in believing what Papa said and Im not eligible in taking over the family business
Kartik clenches his fists with anger as Naira is mentioning her Papa Naitik Singhania. Sameer notices this
Sameer: Naira you are all capable of becoming the CEO, Masters from London is a big..you know I also tried for that university and got rejected
Naina: And Im taking over papa's business without any qualifications..when I can do it..you managing the business is like a cake walk
Kartik: Naira come on sign these papers...its not a dream...its as real as our marriage and you deserve this more than any other living person on this earth.
Naina and Sameer's soothing words fly into the air as Kartik's words fall in Naira's ears.
Naira in mind: Did Kartik just say..as real as our marriage...did he just call me deserving....he values me so much....now he seems like that Kartik with whom I fell in love .....
Naina: Oh Naira ji...come on sign the papers...you can stay stunned after becoming the CEO officially
Naira gets to reality and walks to the table. Kartik places the papers on the table and takes the pen from his pocket and hands it over to her
Kartik: This is a special and lucky pen for me ...here go on
Naira gets the pen and she recognises it in a instant
Naira in mind: I gifted him this Parker when he was going for his tenth boards...he still has it and calls it lucky does that mean..he too had feelings for me since then? Then why?
Kartik: Naira....
She jerks to reality and gets the pen from him and signs the papers. Naina and Sameer clap and rejoice.
Naira looks up at Kartik and sees his eyes shining with happiness for her and at that instant she falls in love once again..yes she saw the devil in him the previous night, she still has questions to be answered by him but inspite of all that her heart has fell for him once again and when the heart has decided to fall in love what can the questions and opinions of the brain do other than getting shadowed away?
Kartik on the other hand hugs Sameer
Sameer (as a whisper):Finally your three year penance has come to an end
Kartik in mind: Not fully dude...I have hidden certain things even from you and Naina...I cant tell that to you guys until the time arrives
Naina: Arrey yaar...when is Naira taking charge?
Kartik: On Monday...today is Saturday and from afternoon it is weekend....as the weeks commences she will take charge
Sameer: When are you bringing your marriage to the public?
Kartik: Very soon. Let her take charge first..I don't want that news to be shadowed due to the news of our marriage
Naira: Kartik if you dont mind can I meet Muma and Papa and get their blessings before joining the company as CEO?
Kartik gets upset on hearing this
Naina: Not in Goenka house but at least somewhere else she can right?
Kartik in mind: I cant tell the truth and break her heart..Manish Goenka should know this news only on Monday morning and that too through the news papers..not before that.....but now Naira wants to get their blessings ...yes...
Kartik: Actually..Muma and Papa are going to Kuldevi temple..they would have started by now
Others in chorus: Kuldevi temple?
Kartik: Yes..Dadi had made plans that once Naira lands safely after finishing her masters she will go to Kuldevi temple but as Dadaji is ill..Dadi cant leave him right..thats why Muma and Papa are going . You don't worry Naira..after taking charge we can go and meet them. Their blessings are always with you
Naira: Okay
Kartik: Sameer if you dont mind can you drop Naira to the villa, I have an important appointment
Sameer: Thats not an issue ..come Naira
Naira and Sameer leaves and Naina too disconnects the call. Kartik rushes out and calls someone
and
Kartik: Dadi...(he tells about the happenings in lawyer's office and about the conversation regarding Manish and Swarna)
Dadi: You did a good job....Ill make sure that Naira doesn't know that its a lie
Kartik: Thank you Dadi and convey this Dadaji too
Dadi: I will beta..even we want to meet Naira..
Kartik just nods and : Dadi Ill call you later
The call disconnects and the chapter ends
