Back to the story.

Kartik : Kya hua Sameer ? itne tension mein kyu ho?

Sameer : Bhai mujhe Jaipur jaana hoga kal meeting ke liye.

Kartik : Par waha toh 2 mahine baad ka fix tha na?

Sameer : Haan bhai par wo jo client hai unke ghar mein 2 mahine baad shadi hai toh wo log kal hi meeting karna chahte hai. Kyunki yeh project hum dono sambhal rahe the toh hum dono mein se ek ko kal meeting ke liye jaana hoga.

Kartik : Toh thik hai main chala jaata hu tum Mumbai chale jao.

Sameer : Aisa nahi ho sakta bhai kyuki aap Mumbai sirf as a trustee nahi balki as a guest lecturer bhi jaa rahe hai toh aap ka waha jana bahut jaruri hai. Main waha se meeting karke thode din mein waha aata hu.

Kartik : Thik hai jaise tu chahe. Par agar kuch bi ho mujhe turant call kar dena.

Sameer : Haan bhai.

They both hug each other. The Family smiled seeing their bond.

Manish : Ab chalo jaldi se Kartik nahi toh sach mein flight miss ho jayegi.

Kartik : Haan Papa.

He took blessings from everyone and left for the airport.

In Mumbai.

Naira was feeling the admission form brought by Naina. She was going to write 'Naira Goenka' in the form but flashes from the past stopped her doing so. And with a shivering hand she wrote 'Naira Singhania' there. A long tear escaped from her left eye while feeling the form.

Naira : Kyun aaj bhi wo sab yaad aa raha  hai mujhe? Kyu wo sab main bhul nahi jaati?

Voice : Kyunki buri yaadein tabhi humare andar se tab tak nahi jayegi jab tak hum unhe mitane ke liye usse bhi achi achi yaadein nahi bana lete.

She turned to look towards the source of voice and saw Nani standing at the door of her room. She stood up and ran to her and took her in a bone crushing hug. She cried heavily in her embrace. Nani cares about her hair and says,

Rajshri : shh...nahi bitiya rani aise nahi rote.

Naina comes there with Kaira in her arms.

Naina : Rone dijiye Nani pata nahi kab se yeh aasu chupaye rakhe the di ne. Royegi toh halka mehsus karegi aur aage badne mein kamyab ho jayegi.

Rajshri : Chal betiya andar chal.

She took her inside and made her sit on the bed. Naira quickly lay down and kept her head in her lap and buried her face in her belly while sobbing.

Rajshri : Ab bata betiya rani kyu itna ro rahi ha
i.

Naira : (hiccuping) Na..ni Kar...kartik ne...me..ra bha.....ros..a kyun na...hi...kiya? Uss... usne... mujh....e sach...sach ba...tan...e ka ....ek mo..ka bhi.. nah..iii diyaaa.

Rajshri : Beta iska jawab toh mere pass nahi hai par agar tu is tarah tut jayegi toh Sonu betiya ko kaise shambhalegi. Dekh uski taraf kaise dar gai hai tujhe is halat mein dekh ke.

She turned towards Kaira who was with Naina, who was her another support system in these 2 years. She has to be strong if not for herself than for her daughter and sister. She get up and wipe  her tears.

Naira : Aap sahi keh rahi hai Nani main aise rougi toh Naina aur sonu ka khayal kon rakhega.

Saying this she hugged both of them. After sometime three of them were sitting in the dining area having their dinner. Kaira was sleeping after having her cereal.

Naira : Nani aapne bataya nahi aap yaha kaise?

Rajshri : Wo main apni ek saheli se milne aai thi yaha toh socha apni dono betiyo ko bhi milti chalu aur ek aur baat main thode din yaha tum logo ke pass hi rehne wali hu.

Naina : Kya sachi Nani... I love you.

Rajshri : I love you too, meri bitiya.

After having their dinner they were sitting in the watching a movie.

Rajshri : Chalo bahut der ho gai hai so jate hai aur vaise bhi kal Naira betiya ko college bhi jaana hai.

Naira : Thik hai Nani aur aaj aap mere saath sougi.

Naina : Ji nahi Nani aaj mere saath soyegi.

Naira  : Nahi mere saath.

Naina : Nahi mere saath.

Naira : Nani aap Naina ko bolo ki aap mere saath so rahi ho.

Naina : Haan Nani aap di ko boldo ki aap unke saath nahi mere saath so rahe ho.

Rajshri chuckled at them.

Rajshri :(fake anger) Chup ho jao tum dono itni badi ho gai ho aur chote bacho ki tarah lad rahi ho.

N+N : sorry.

Rajshri : (smile) Aaj main tum dono ke saath sougi bas.

N+N : yayyy...

Three of them went to Naira's room where Kaira was sleeping in her cot. They slowly went inside without disturbing her sleep and lay in the bed. Nani in the middle while they are both on either side. Soon both of them draft to sleep while Nani was just adoring their smiles that only come when they sleep their genuine smiles.

Nani : Kitni pyari lag rahi hai meri betiya sote hue kaash yeh dono hamesha aise hi shanti se soti rahe, kyon ki jab uski aankein khuli hoti hai toh unka khali paan dekhke dil hazar baar tut jaata hai. Chahe ab Kartik aur Sameer inki zindagi mein wapas kyu na aa jaye aur yeh dono unhe maaf bhi karde par main unhe maaf nahi karungi. Kyuki un dono ke wajah se 2 saal pehle meri betiyo ki jo halat hui thi uske liye toh mujhe kya bhagwan ko bhi unhe maaf nahi karna chahiye.

In Udaipur.

In Singhania sadan.

Nakshara were sitting in their room and were looking at the childhood album of Naira. It was their daily routine from the past two years.

Naitik : (caressing Naira's pictures) Kitni pyari lag rahi na Naira.

Akshara : Bilkul koi pari jaisi. Aapko yaad hai jab hum log Capetown mein the toh kaise Gayu aur duggu ki shikayat karti thi.

Naitik : Aur aap un dono ko bahut dantati thi.

Akshara : Kabhi kabhi aisa lagta hai abhi bhagte hue aayegi aur un dono ki shikayat karegi.

Naitik : Main Kartik ko kabhi maaf nahi karunga aaj ussi ke wajah se humari princess hamare saath nahi hai.

Akshara : Par galti humari bhi hai agar uss din hum log usse rok paate toh aaj wo humare saath hoti.

That's it for today.
