Everyone had come back home
"Kittu beta, yeh tumhara ghar hai", said Dadi
"Tumhe kuch yaad hai", asked Akhilesh, Karthik nodded negatively.
"Thodi koshish karo", said Suvarna. Karthik closed his eyes and tried to but he could see everything black. His head began to hurt again, Naira took notice.
"Karthik, relax, relax, there is no need to remember anything", she whispered softly into his ears.
"Do you want to see your room", Naira asked him, Karthik nodded positively like a kid.
"It is upstairs, Let's go", she spoke and pointed towards the direction, and held her hand out for him to catch, but he ran up the stairs like an excited kid.
"Careful you might slip", she spoke and then got lost in the past how Karthik used to repeat the same dialogue every day.
--------
"Wow is this my room", he asked with a smile.
"You like it", Naira questioned
"I like the blue", he answered
"You always did", she whispered to herself
"Tumhara kamra kaunsa hai", he asked while looking around the room.
"Mein, woh mera karma....", she didn't know what to answer him
"Tum please yaha rukko.", he pleaded
"You want me to stay here with you, but why", she asked
"Sab mujhe ajeeb tarhe se dekhte hai tum nahi dekhti", he answered, she knew what he meant by, ajeeb tarhe, since yesterday everyone had been looking at him with pity, not just him even they had been giving her those same expressions.
"Yeah, kitna soft hai, aur kitna bada bhi, tum se bhi zyada", Karthik spoke, bringing Naira out of her thoughts. She turned back to see him hugging a big huge teddy, the stuff toy took her back to the past.
------------
"Karthik, what is this", Naira asked shocked as her husband entered with an extra huge teddy bear.
"This is a little teddy bear, for my little princess", replied Karthik
"First thing it is my little mendak and this is more like a teddy bed, than a teddy bear, have you got it for the baby to play or sleep on. It is even two inches bigger then you", she said
"I didn't get my size. I wanted to get two, one of your size, one of mine, so that if we are out any time she can always feel our presence through them. I didn't get two because I knew you would say no, so I only got one, pretty please", spoke Karthik
"Of course I would have said no, you filled an entire room with toys, now it is only been four months, if I don't stop you know, we would have to build a new house to keep all the toys you are bringing", Naira told him
"Please, last one, wouldn't have you liked the teddy if you were a baby", Karthik asked, Naira couldn't deny the teddy was super cute, Karthik made her touch the fur which was really smooth and silky.
"Okay, last one, promise", she asked
"I will try to, promise", he answered
"That's good enough I guess", she said smiling.
Flashback ends
----------
"Mein tumhe kab se puch raha hun, tum mujhe jawab nahi deti ", he complained
"Sorry, no lo kya puch rahe the", asked Naira
"Kiska hai", he said looking at the stuff toy.
"Tumhara teddy hai", she answered
"Bahut soft his, bilkul tumhari tarhe", he said touching her bear's cheeks then her.
"Aur tum bilkul, mendak ki tarhe tar tar kar rahe ho, aur mein sherni", she spoke like usual hoping that he would react like always
"Mein ne kaha the meri mendak nahi hun, he said irritated
"Aur tum toh kahi se bhi Sherni nahi lagti, tum toh teddy ho, cute si, soft si, aaj se tum meri teddy, mein tumhe TEDDY bulaunga.", he announced

"Naira", Manish called out as he saw her, sitting in he front yard and took a seat beside her.
"Beta, I think you should go the Singhanias for some time", Manish started the conversation, Naira who had been staring at the sky till now turned to look at her father-in law.
"I know how much it is hurting you to see Karthik like this. He should have been supporting you, instead of the other way around. You don't need to be so strong. Go to the Singhanias for some days.", spoke Manish
"And Karthik, what about him. If I leave him for one second, between anyone of you he starts panicking and screaming for me. How can I leave him, and it is not just him who needs me, I also need him, his mere presence lessens my pain. Saach kahun dad, jab woh mera pass hota hai, toh mujhe apne khoye huye bache ki yaad nahi aati, because he has become my BABY, aisi halat mein bhi janne anjane mein woh mera dard kam karta hai", she said with a sad smile.
-----------
"Baby, please, eat zid, mat karo", said Naira trying to feed Karthik.
"Teddy not eat baby no eat", he said stubbornly
"Main kha chuki hoon", Naira lied
"Teddy juhti, teddy juhti", he repeated
"Tum kaise jante ho, ke mein jhut bol rahi hun", she asked
"Bas pata hai", he answered and Naira smiled, remembering how Karthik always caught all her lies, and said the same dialogue after she asked him how did he know. Her Karthik was still there in somewhere and she would get him back.
