Kartik's mind went into flashback.
"Then how you got separated from your Mumma?" Kartik asked.
"My biological father kidnapped me the day I took birth." Naira revealed.
"You didn't tell me your Mumma's name at least tell me your Papa's name." Kartik asked.
"RITU RAJ KHANNA." Naira revealed.
"You ever met him?" Kartik asked.
"I don't want to talk abt it Kartik."
Naira was looking straight.
"As you say." Kartik didn't want to give her stress.
FLASHBACK ENDS
"He kidnapped your daughter from hospital Choti Maa." Kartik looked at Akshara.
"He used to beat you." Kartik was in tears.
Akshara was numb as how Kartik knows all this.
"Your daughter is alive Choti Maa. She is my Naira only." Kartik smiled in tears.
Akshara fell on the floor breaking down.
"Mumma what's Kartik talking abt?" Shivani and Naksh held Akshara.
"I'll tell you both." Naitik spoke.
"Before marrying me...Maa and Bauji got Akshara married to Ritu Raj...." Naitik told them Ritu Raj's bad deeds.
They were shocked to know it.
"Naira is our elder sister." Naksh looked at his parents.
"Par how she got saved? We got to know Ritu Raj died in the blast." Akshara stood up.
................................................................
Naira came back to hotel around 10:00 pm. Her eyes fell on a little kid of around 3 years sitting in hall and making drawings.
The baby was feeling cold. Naira smiled at his workaholic behaviour. She went and wrapped her own shawl around the kid.
He looked up at Naira.
"Aapne apni shawl kyu Di?" He asked.
"Because you were feeling cold." Naira sat beside him.
"Aapko kaise pata?" He asked cutely.
"Elders know everything." Naira ruffled his hairs.
"Aap bht cute ho." He pulled Naira's cheeks.
"What's your name?" Naira asked.
"SHIV." He smiled.
"You are cute like your name." Naira caressed his hairs.
"Painting?" Naira asked.
"Drawing aunty." Shiv smiled.
"Yeh dekho frog." Shiv showed his drawing notebook.
"Frog Kyu?" Naira asked.
"Mere Maamu na frog hai. Meri Dadi unhe froggy bulati hai." Shiv giggled.
"Kartik." Hearing this only Kartik's name came in her mind.
"Aap Mere Maamu ko jaante ho?" Shiv asked.
"Hmm. I met him many times." Naira smiled fake.
Her heart started beating fast. She felt goosebumps on her body. She knew he was here.
Within a second,she felt a tap on her shoulder. She knew it was Kartik only.
"I'll leave Shiv. You also go to your room. It's very cold." Naira kissed on Shiv's forehead.
"Aunty will you meet me tomorrow?" Shiv asked.
"I'm leaving tomorrow." Naira caressed his cheek.
A lone tear escaped from Kartik's eyes hearing this.
