Naira is back in Kartik's life with their son, Kairav. Kartik is delighted to get his love of life back with a blessing in the form of Kairav. The Goenkas and the Singhanias are shocked to discover that Naira is alive. Vedika is devasted to hear the...
"Who are you? Why are you passing your germs to my Mumma?" A cute voice asked and I look up to see a small boy with round specks and fluffy cheeks. He is wearing a spiderman t-shirt with shorts and boots. His hair was messy like mine and a lovely smile was plastered on his face.
The boy came towards us and put her in back. "You cannot touch my Mumma. Only me and my papa can do this, if not I beat you." The boy spoke those words confidently and glared at me. I could not control and burst out in laughter with Naira. He is definitely my son, so possessive.
"Mumma, why are you laughing at me?" Kairav's face was red with emotion, eyes moist with tears that waited to be shed. Seeing this Naira took Kairav in her arms and gave him a hug. "Baby, he is your papa. How can you think I will deliberately make my baby sad?" Naira spoke with a pout and Kairav was listening attentively. Suddenly, I saw a mischievous look in Naira's eyes, " How about we both beat him?" and I knew that I was doomed.
I ran from the mother-son duo and they both chased me with a smile on our faces. Kairav was tired so, I slowed my pace and let him catch me. "Mumma, I caught papa. Yay!" He was grinning from ear to ear and jumping, and what he did next elated me. This was the moment I have been waiting for, to meet my boy. My son hugged me and I try not to squeeze the ever-loving crap of out of him. I glanced at Naira and saw that she was crying, I mouth her thank you for giving me a son, for making me a father, for giving me a bundle of joy yet I only gave her misery, pain. This has to change, I intend to keep my family happy and nothing more.
I opened my arms and she ran to us. I embrace my family and I make a promise, my family will be happy. "Always and forever, " I hear Naira speak and I chuckle at my sherni. My harry potter queen. "I love you, papa, " Kairav pecked my cheek and "I love you, Mumma, " he pecked Naira's cheek.
"I love you too, my tadpole."
"I love you too, my tadpole." Naira and I utter at the same time and peck his cheek.
"Wow! When we say the same thing Mumma tells me that ie is a heart to heart connection. So, you and papa have a heart to heart connection." Naira stared into my eyes and we nod at Kairav. Indeed, we have a heart to heart connection.
Naira
"I made a mistake. You were angry with me. What had our child done to you? Why did you give him such a big punishment? Were you exacting my revenge on him? What kind of mother are you!" I knew that these questions are beginning and I have to answer more so, I listened to him and tried to keep cool. How could he question my ability to be a mother? That pissed me off.
"Kartik, don't make the mistake of asking a question to a mother that you had asked your wife. A wife tolerated it but a mother won't be able to tolerate it," I replied. Tears were welling up in my eyes but I did not back and put my views as well. We both had a poker face but his eyes said so much.
"When you make a mistake, you should learn to tolerate it. Why did you leave? If you were angry, you could have slapped me, beat me, whatever you want but why leave the house." Oh Kartik, if this was the case we would have been together. I am sorry, mendak, I can't tell you the real reason yet.
"You made me leave the house, you doubted my love for you," I yell and gain enough courage to face him.
"I asked a simple question, Naira." He retorted. "What is the difference between the two? Do tell me. How could you when you don't even know the difference?" Kartik held my hands and made me sit on the couch.
"Why did you not tell me about our baby, our Kairav? Why? We both are his parents, then why I was left out? Answer me." His eyes were red, he stood and took a few steps back. I felt guilty but I knew it had to be done for Kairav's sake. We need to clear our issues, then I will tell you what happened to me 5 years ago.
"How could I have told you, Kartik? You could have asked the same question again. YOU COULD HAVE ASKED WHO IS KAIRAV'S FATHER? WHAT COULD I DO THEN? WHO IS THE FATHER OF THIS CHILD?" I broke in the end, all my emotions came back and I confronted him. I need this for my own peace.
"Stop, Naira. Shut up! Y-" I cut him.
"Why Kartik? Why shall I not speak? When I am telling the truth, it is hurting but what about me? I have to endure this pain every day yet I have to be strong for our Kairav. This question kills me from inside yet I put a happy mask to see my little one smile. My heart burned due to your questions. Do you even remember what you asked me? You might have forgotten, after all, it has been 5 years." I wiped my tears and stood firm.
"I did not forget a single thing, you wanted revenge so you made me suffer 5 years for a single question. The pain I endured in 5 years, I will never forget. And I would have not known that I have a son, that my wife is alive, and the credit goes to you," Kartik's words were piercing my heart and the dam broke. I tried to control my emotions but in vain.
"Kartik I was in a coma for the first 4 months and I came back bu-" I was cut off in between as Kairav entered the room. He was wearing his night suit and ran towards me. He held Karik and my hand, "This is my family, Mumma. Common, we should sleep together." I reluctantly agreed with Kairav and we went to his room. I saw in Kartik's eyes that the conversation was not over and I know that soon I have to cross this bridge.

Kairav's room
Soon Kairav slept while holding our hands. I could see the turmoil going in Kartik's eyes.
"Naira, you were in a coma." I knew these words are a thunderclap to Kairav but what will happen when he knows what happened to me and Kairav. Kartik wiped my tears with his thumb and I realized that I was crying. "I am sorry, Kartik and I promise that I will tell you the truth soon. I should have come back but Aja-" I was cut off by Kartik when he took me in his arms. The room was filled with my sobs and Kairav's snores. My baby can sleep at any place, even if an earthquake occurs, I will find him sleeping only.
"Shh, calm down. I know we both are at mistake. I trust you, Naira and today I am sure that there is more to the situation to what I thought. You did not leave me for asking a single question, I want the reason, Naira. Only when you are ready to speak," Kartik patted my hair, "we are a family, I love you, Jaan."
"How?"
"I know you very well, my sherni. You know I hate your tears, these eyes should shine with happiness, and see they are filled with pain. No, this won't do." Kartik started tickling me and there was no end to my giggles and laughter. We slept together with Kairav between us.
I know this is the calm before the storm and I intend to enjoy it to the fullest.
