Hi All,

Thank you for all the comments!! Please continue to support my story

After ten days...

Manish was discharged from the hospital and returned home with Karthik, to Karthik's place. Karthik opened the car door for his father and said " Come Papa, this is our house, your house. No one can separate you and your family."

Naira had cooked all his favorite dishes. Manish's voice was choked with emotion as he had. " Its been a long time since I had food like this'" he told, while Karthik patted his shoulder and smiled.

"This is your world now Papa. You don't have to worry about anything from now on.. " Keerthi told him

"But I ruined my daughter's life, I gave you to a rogue and look what he did to your life? i can never forgive myself for that."

"Papa please don't worry about that, I am happy the way I am" Keerthi told him with a hug..

Naksh was watching this with a deep expression on his face which was noticed by Karthik and Naira

..............................................................................................................................................................

Naira was sleeping holding Karthik s hand tightly.. somehow the entire shooting incident had freaked her out...

"Karthik" she called out to him urgently and he woke up with a jerk totally alarmed..

"What happened?? Are you okay?? Any problem?? Is it paining? He shouted very concerned.

" I am feeling hungry.. I am not able to sleep because of that" she told him

"My princess is like her papa... she loves to eat.. you sit here.. I'll cut some fruits and bring some milk for you" he told her..

" No.. I want pakoras.. onion pakoras... please I feel like having them now.."

"Now ?? Are you mad?? It's 1 am... pakoras now?" Karthik scolded her

"Karthik please... I will not be able to have anything else now.. I want only pakoras..." Naira sulked..

" Fine you get your wish.. not for you but for my princess.. You sit here .. I'll make pakoras and come" Karthik told amused..

"I am also coming" Naira told.. Karthik knew it was hopeless arguing with her.. she won anyway 

Karthik made Naira sit on the kitchen slab as he prepared the dough for pakoras and cut onions and green chillies..

Naira watched him lovingly. Her eyes started watering as Karthik was cutting onions..

"See this is why I told you to stay in the room itself" Karthik told as he mixed the onions and dough.. I hate to see tears in my sherni's eyes.

" Come here" Naira called out to him. And he came in front of her she hugged him and kissed his cheek " I love you mendak" she told..

" I love you too my Sherni.." he told as he kissed her on the forehead while she leaned forward and showed her cheek also on which he gave a peck..

"Now don't disturb Masterchef Goenka" he winked and proceeded with making pakoras..

"Your wish is my command madam" he told as he proudly presented a plate of pakoras on seeing which Nairas eyes lit up like a kid given its favourite chocolate..

Karthik took a piece and fed her.. Naira reciprocated the same and fed him.." hmmm yummm " she drooled as she relished the pakoras...

" Princess says thank you papa" she mimicked like a kid as Karthik looked at her adoring her...

Keerthi was watching this from the stairs with a shy smile thinking how romantic a couple could get.. however a sudden grief filled her heart and she ran inside her room and shut the door..

"Why am I feeling so lonely?? She thought.. I was happy the way I am then why this confusion ?? And why do I think of Naksh often?? Why do I feel so happy when I see him??"

At the same time.. Naksh was pacing on his room.." Keerthi is the sister of your brother in law.. that's it.. why do you think so much about her?? Cut the feelings.. you can't risk yourself falling in this trap again or here Nairas life Is also at stake.." he thought..

Keerthi and Naksh had become really good friends.. Naksh helped a lot while Manish was at the hospital and both of them had started questioning their feelings within themselves..

After two weeks

Things had started returning to normal. It was the day of the court hearing for Naman and Kamya. The verdict was supposed to be given that day.

Manish was extremely restless and nervous. Karthik and Naira were also worried, but did not show their expressions outside.

The verdict was given- fifteen years of rigorous imprisonment for both of them. Naman and Kamya were waiting outside the court.

Manish came outside the court with Karthik, gave Kamya a look of loathing, while Karthik did not even look at her face.

Naira came out of the court with Akshara by her side. Akshara went to Naman and said " I don't even know what to say to you. Your brother did not even want to see your face. Still take this as a chance and come back as a changed person if you can. From now, Karishma will be the daughter of our house" and left the place.

It was now Naira's turn. Looking at both of them with blazing anger in her eyes she screamed

" What kind of people are both of you. How can you even value money more than people? Did the money you have save you today?

"You" she said looking at Naman" You are supposed to be like my father. You tried to kill your own brother once, and now you wanted to kill me, along with a small soul within me, How can you even be classified into human? I had so much respect at you. I though you will come reformed when you were arrested 4 years back. But no, you have not changed one bit. You disgust me.

"And you" she said looking at Kamya- " You call yourself a woman? You made childhood a hell for Karthik and Keerthi di, you cheated the man who gave up even his children for the love he had for you. Money, Money, can't you think more than this ? Did Karthik or I ever ask you for a share of wealth? All I wanted is to let Karthik have his father's love. The anger I have at you, I don't know what to say. You deserve this, you deserve more than this."

Naira turned away from both of them and walked towards her family, however she looked back at Naman and Kamya and went back to them.

With folded hands, she told both of them " You both are elder in age to me and I spoke to you without respect. I am sorry. Please forgive me, I was just angry since you attempted to kill. Our family is still incomplete without both if you. If you want to come back as a changed person, our homes and hearts will always be open for you" she told, touched both their feet and went to Karthik and Manish, who watched her with pride on their faces.

Manish looked at Kamya and Naman being taken away. He knew it would take time to come out of this mental turmoil that he was going through... he felt cheated by the person he loved, he felt guilty for ruining his children's childhood and he regretted the life he had lived.. he was disgusted with himself..

He knew he had a long mental and emotional battle to be fought.. but he knew he could do it.. he felt more strong than he had ever felt before as he leaned on to his son for support.
