Where Naira, she took her own time in realizing her love for Kartik, her mother died at very early stage and is very dearly to her Father and brother but the connection she had developed with Kartik was not explanatory and be understood only can be felt. Soon, she reciprocate her feelings for him and with support of their families they got married to love of their lives.

Their love story is not a straight path, rather full of roller coaster, but soon after realization of their love it had became a beautiful journey from friends to best friends to lovers to life partners. Successful career and a dream wedding everything they had in their relationship, a Perfect Marriage, a perfect relationship but was it really perfect ..??

They say when you get too much of everything that's also wrong and when you don't get what you deserve that's also wrong, well something like this was happening their life as well.

To expand their business more Kartik and Naira shifted from Udaipur to Pune.

Well coming to present, today was there second marriage anniversary and instead of celebrating they were fighting and most importantly now these days they don't know any reason to fight, they just fight. Also their wasn't like adorable bickering but actually a SERIOUS ONE..

Kartik: What is it Naira?

Naira: *placing her hands on her ears* why do u always shout?

Kartik: Shout?,*her this reaction was quiet shocking for him too** I don't believe this!, You are talking to me as if talking to ur servant and in return questioning me on shouting? For god sake Naira we are husband and Wife, atleast kept your tone thinking about the relation we share..!!!

Naira: Oh!..so this is your problem!, You want to be treated like a HUSBAND..wow..what do u want Kartik? Should I roam around you saying suniye ji...please have food, pani piya ap ne and blah and blah blah... never expected this from Kartik..typical male chauvinist.

Kartik: .Stop it Naira, You know I really didn't meant in that way, but your taking...

She interrupted him in between and said,"This is good, you say whatever you want and in the end you justify yourself saying "i didn't meant that" typical said under her breath.

Kartik came close to her and placed his hands on her shoulders

Kartik: Cant u talk politely,is it necessary to be rude all the time?

Naira: You don't leave me in a condition to talk politely Kartik.

She moved away jerking his hands, she went and sat on the stool in front of the dressing table, Kartik making another attempt, turned and looked at her, she was looking ravishing no wonder in anger, in love her beauty never take a step down.

Applying moisturizer on her beautiful hands and arms, wearing a black silk night gown fully covering her legs till her ankle., hair all messed up in a clip and gently rubbing her left hand on her right arm in ascending order , her delicate fingers pressing against her soft milky skin.

Kartik calming himself down said softly,"Aren't were supposed to celebrate today..?"

Naira shifted her concentration from her arms and looked at Kartik through the mirror and continues with like no emotions in her voice,"We celebrated na Kartik,*again looking at her arms*, by fighting, recently we celebrate all our special occasions like this, because fighting is the only way we communicate."

Kartik came close to the stool she was sitting, he sat down on his knees, placed his hands on her hands, took the lotion bottle from her hands a placed it on the table again, Naira was avoiding eye contact with him, he tilted his head and softly said," What has happened Naira...???" more to her he is asking this question to them, what had happened between them, they weren't like this, everyone in their family, office used to mark them as a perfect couple, perfect couple don't fight on their anniversary but then are they really perfect couple..? Or there is still imperfection in their relation that has now converted to something else instead of their unconditional love..

Naira: I wish we could answer that Kartik, but the fact is that we ourselves don't know what happened? She separated her hands from him not wanting to continue the conversation anymore.

Stating a simple 'Good Night' she got from stool where Kartik was still sitting on the carpet on his knees registering her words. She is right we ourselves don't know what had happened between them, why they have drifted so far from each other. 

There was a time when they can't live without each other, their day starts with 'I Love You' and ends with saying 'I Love you' to each other. She arranged the bed properly, opened the blanket and lied to her side of bed. In no time she was asleep, accepting like a defeat he too got up and laid down beside her. Both were facing back to each other. In their early marriage sleep came only when they cuddled with each other, but here they are at the extreme corners of the bed and drifted into deep slumber like they don't know other's existence on the bed.

As the room darkened, sher opened her eyes, her hands reached towards the delicate diamond chain in her neck, she touched it, Kartik had gifted it to her on their wedding night...two years back, this was the most beautiful night of their lives..

***********************************FlashBack******************************************

"I like no no I love your simplicity Naira, you look best in your this simple avtar. It reflects you's innocence on which I have fallen my face. Your beauty does not need any additional enhancements.." Saying Kartik hugged her from back standing infront of mirror.

It was there wedding night, Naira was all decked up in heavy jewelry and being an ideal husband he helped her removing all her jewelry, making his newly wedded wife comfortable.

Naira exclaimed on his remark," Kartik.. Please.. What is this enhancements.. I would have expected some better words from my Mendak but I guess I would be having Kartik Goenka tonight..."

She was trying to imitate Kartik's deep voice, but actually she was trying her shyness, she is sherni shyness doesn't suit her but his intense gaze was already making her knees weak.

"My Sherni does not need any other ornament or any materialistic thing to enhance her beauty, her innocent look is enough for her mendak to fall in well again..!! I love you Naira, my sherni mine and only mine.."

With intensity he said words, the whole room was filled with emotions of his love. He made her speechless. Slowly without breaking the eye contact he took her jewelry off, her necklace, her earrings, bangles, waist band and finally her maang tikaa and with each removal of a jewelry piece he was placing a soft kiss on it, giving a different sensation to her body.

He turned her towards her mirror and made her wear a simple yet elegant diamond chain and said hugging her from back, " This look perfect for my sherni, not those heavy jewelries..."

She lowered her eyes and Kartik places a soft yet a sensuous kiss on her neck which made her shiver. He tightened his grip on her waist and turned her around jerkingly making her shiver of this sudden turn. He cares her cheek with his knuckles and said in utmost love filled and soft voice," I Love you Naira, I love you.. I love you so much.. I love you a lot.. I can't love someone else above you.. I love you.. Just love you...".
