Naira woke up and tried calling Kartik but he didn't pick up she thought he would be sleeping and went to take bath.

After taking bath, she picked up her phone as it was ringing. An automatic smile appeared on her face as it was from Kartik.

Kartik: Hey! (He said in a sleepy voice)
Naira: Wake up, sleepy head.
Kartik: You're not here to wake me up, not my fault.
Naira: Shut up and fresh up. We'll talk later.
Kartik: No, let me talk.
Naira: First go and fresh up.
Kartik: I'm always fresh for you. (He said huskily)
Naira: Oh God you're too much.
Kartik: You okay?
Naira: Hmm.
Kartik: You don't sound so.
Naira: How can I be fine without you?
Kartik: My baby I know that but we can't do anything. I said you that I'll come to meet you. I'll see if I can make it up earlier.

No response from her side.

Kartik: Naira, you trust me, right?
Naira: Hmm.
Kartik: C'mon now that's not even.
Naira: I don't know what's even and what's odd. (She sounded frustrated)

He chuckled slightly.

Kartik: I love you, jaan.
Naira: You dare call me with such names one more time and I swear I won't leave you. (She shouted)
Kartik: That's what I want k tum mujhe kabhi chor k na jaao.
Naira: Kartik it's not a joke. I'm done doing all this. I'm tired I want peace. (She said in a broken voice)
Kartik: Naira, I know what you're feeling but trust me I'll make everything alright. And you're strong, right? And I know that you won't let anything else effect you. You're listening?
Naira: Hmm.
Kartik: Okay now don't stress yourself. I'll talk later.
Naira: Okay.
Kartik: What okay? Don't you think tum kuch bhool rahi ho?
Naira: Do I really have to say?
Kartik: Ofcourse not. But I want to say that I love you so much.
Naira: I already know.
Kartik: Yeah but to my satisfaction I wanted to say.
Naira: Now that you're satisfied we'll talk later.
Kartik: Okay bye take care.
Naira: Bye.

They both ended the call.

Kartit let out a sigh and went to take bath.

Kartik was sitting in living room silently staring the ceiling when Swarna patted his shoulder. He looked at her and smiled. She sat besides him. He put his head in her lap and she started caressing his hairs.

Swarna: Hmm...lagta hai mere bete ko kisi ki yaad aa rahi hai?

He chuckled a bit in response.

Swarna: Naira se baat hui? Theek hai wo?
Kartik: Yeah abhi thori der pehle hi hui hai.
Swarna: Miss kar rahy ho usse?
Kartik: It's not even a complete day I'm away from her and I'm feeling so empty. I'm trying to divert my mind but this strange feelings isn't leaving me. I don't know what to do.
Swarma: I think I know what to do.

He removed his head from her lap and faced her.

Kartik: What?
Swarna: Marry her.
Kartik: What? He said shockingly.
Swarna: Isme itna shock hone wali kya baat hai? Tum dono bade ho gaye ho mature ho yeh right time hai shaadi k liye.
