(P.s. Akshu isn't born yet)

So this story starts from Naira when she gets agitated that Gayatri thinks and accuses that her son Vansh was hurt because of Kairav.

(P.S. Here Kairav is not sacred of his Mumma Naira that she would get him arrested like the show or he doesn't hate her, but he confides in his mother. They share a gentle bond, Kairav is very attached to his mother and tells her everything and how bad he felt when his Gayu Masi confronted him or taunts him about Vansh's accident.)

The fact that Gayatri and Naira being cousins, but still standing against eachother due to ego and miscommunication displeased Kartik very much, but he tries to stay calm and decides to let the sisters sort out their turmoil.

But their misunderstanding keeps increasing day after day. What infuriates him the most was Suhasini and Manish keeping mum on the topic while Swarna took Naira's side and his own Akhil chachu, Surekha chachi took Gayatri's side.

One evening when Samarth was out of the country on a business trip, Kartik just returned from office, he was welcomed with an unpleasant noise of people arguing from the main hall.

On spotting Kartik at the gate, a sobbing Kairav came running to him. Kartik on seeing his son, keeps his bag and coat on the nearby bench. As Kairav came and hugged his legs, He knelt down infront of his son and wrapped his arms around the little boy in order to calm him down. Gently breaking the hug, cupping Kairav's small face and wiping his tears, picking him up.. Kartik asks him what happened and why was he crying. Kairav keeps clinging to him like a koala, without uttering a word. Kartik kept hugging his son and stroking his hair lovingly while Kairav sobbed, after sometime finally he calmed down and narrated happened that afternoon.

Kairav hicupped while controlling his sobs and told Kartik.. "Woh.. woh.. Gayu Masi stopped me from going into Vansh bhaiyya's room, she even told me not to talk to him or play with Vatsal..
And.. And.. (Taking a pause)
Mumma saw me sad at lunch time and asked me why I was sad and I told her about Gayu Masi.
Papa.. I.. I didn't want Mumma and Masi to argue. They had an argument and Choti dadi too, started talking Masi's side.. Papa!"
Amd he burst into tears once again, hugging Kartik tightly.

"Now this is getting really awkward! How can they hurt the kids amidst their ego! I have to talk to Naira about this.." Kartik thought in himself while stroking Kairav's back and cooing words of affirmation to the little one that everything will be fine soon.

Kartik was working late that night, as he came out of the study, he went to Kairav's room to check upon him as he felt some unease settle in his heart after seeing his son cry that evening.
As he opened the door to Kairav's room, horror stuck Kartik as he hastily marched towards his son's bed.

Kairav looked terrible, as he slept sideways curled into a ball, hugging his knees with one hand, clenching the blanket in his little fists. His eyes were shut tightly and he was blabbering something and crying hysterically. A concerned Kartik immediately sat next to his son, trying to grab Kairav's wrist. As soon as Kairav felt someone's touch, he whisper yelled in his sleep..
"No Masi.. please don't do this! I will not go near Vansh bhaiyya. Please please!"
