Teri Meri Kahani

Part 6

The mood at Y/n and Kartik's homes was a mix of relief and trepidation. Y/d had finally given his blessing, but both Y/n and Kartik knew that this was just the beginning of their journey. They were determined to build a future together, but obstacles loomed on the horizon.

In the weeks following the revelation about Rohan, Kartik's career took a turn for the worse. Despite his efforts to clear his family's name, the damage done by the rumors was far-reaching. Clients were hesitant to work with him, and his once-thriving business began to suffer. The stress began to take its toll on Kartik, and he found himself struggling to keep his spirits up.

One evening, Y/n and Kartik sat in his small apartment, surrounded by stacks of unpaid bills and overdue project files. Y/n could see the exhaustion etched into Kartik's face.

"Kartik, you need to take a break," Y/n said gently, reaching out to touch his hand. "You've been working non-stop."

Kartik shook his head, his frustration evident. "I can't afford to take a break, Y/n. If I don't push through, we'll lose everything. I promised your father I'd take care of you, and I intend to keep that promise."

Y/n's heart ached for Kartik. She understood his dedication, but she also saw how the pressure was weighing him down. "We'll get through this together. Let me help you with the workload."

Kartik's eyes softened as he looked at Y/n. "I appreciate it, Y/n. But I can't ask you to sacrifice your own well-being for me."

Y/n smiled, determination shining in her eyes. "I'm in this with you, Kartik. We'll face the challenges together."

As they worked side by side, their bond grew stronger. However, their situation did not go unnoticed. The fallout from the rumors about Kartik's family began to spread, affecting their social circles and causing a rift between them and some of their friends.

One afternoon, Y/n received a call from Priya. "Y/n, I need to talk to you. It's about the situation with Kartik."

Y/n's heart skipped a beat. "What is it, Priya?"

"Rohan is not done causing trouble. He's been spreading more rumors and trying to discredit Kartik's reputation further. I've heard that he's trying to get back at Kartik for interfering with his plans," Priya revealed.

Y/n's eyes widened. "What can we do?"

Priya hesitated. "I'm not sure, but you need to be careful. Rohan is dangerous, and his actions are starting to escalate."

Worried about the potential threats, Y/n decided to share the news with Kartik. When she told him about Rohan's continued attempts to undermine them, Kartik's face hardened with resolve.

"We can't let him win," Kartik said, his voice filled with determination. "I need to find a way to stop him once and for all."

As Kartik and Y/n plotted their next steps, they received an unexpected visit from K/m. Her face was drawn, and she looked more exhausted than ever.

"Kartik, Y/n, I need to talk to you," K/m said, her voice trembling. "There's been another incident."

Kartik and Y/n listened intently as K/m explained that someone had broken into their home, searching through their personal belongings and leaving behind a threatening note. The note warned Kartik to back off or face dire consequences.

Kartik's fists clenched in anger. "This is getting out of hand. Rohan is behind this."

Y/n looked at Kartik with concern. "We need to go to the authorities. This is more than just a personal issue now."

With a sense of urgency, Kartik and Y/n reported the threats to the police. The investigation was slow-moving, but they knew they had to take action to protect themselves and their future.

Despite the escalating threats, Kartik continued to fight for his business, determined to restore his reputation. Y/n worked tirelessly by his side, helping him navigate the challenges and providing unwavering support.

One evening, as they were preparing dinner together, Y/n received a call from her mother. "Y/n, your father is ill. He's been admitted to the hospital."

Y/n's heart sank. "What happened?"

Y/m's voice was filled with worry. "He's had a heart attack. The doctors say he needs immediate surgery. Please come home."

Y/n turned to Kartik, her eyes filled with fear. "I need to go to my parents' house. Papa needs me."

Kartik took her hands in his. "Go, Y/n. I'll manage things here. Your family needs you."

With a heavy heart, Y/n left for her parents' house, her mind racing with concern for her father. As she arrived at the hospital, she found her mother pacing anxiously in the waiting area.

"Mum, how is Papa?" Y/n asked, her voice trembling.

Y/m's eyes were red from crying. "The surgery is underway. The doctors say it's touch and go."

Y/n sat by her mother's side, waiting for news. Hours seemed like days, and the tension in the waiting room was palpable. Finally, the surgeon emerged, looking exhausted.

"How is he?" Y/n asked urgently.

The surgeon gave a tired smile. "The surgery was successful. Your father will need time to recover, but he's stable now."

Y/n and her mother breathed a sigh of relief, but the ordeal took its toll on Y/n. She knew that while her father's recovery was a step forward, the threats from Rohan and the struggles with Kartik's business were far from over.

As Y/n returned to Kartik's side, she found him waiting anxiously. "How is your father?"

Y/n's eyes were filled with a mix of relief and exhaustion. "He's stable, but it will be a long recovery."

Kartik pulled Y/n into a comforting embrace. "We'll get through this. Together."

With their love as their guiding light, Y/n and Kartik faced each new challenge with renewed determination.
