Mrs: Ahluwalia: How are you doing Raj? We were so worried about you?

Raj: Ma, how can anything happen to me when I have your blessings. I'll make sure I spend a couple of days when I come and drop off Naina next week

Mrs. Ahluwalia: We are so excited to have you Naina beta; we'll pamper you silly till your delivery and then we'll switch to pampering your baby

Naina: Maa, About that. I have decided not to come. I want to stay here in Srinagar. The hospital here is great. I want to have the baby here.

Raj; Naina what are you saying? We agreed that you'd go to Maa and Baba when you are in your 7th month

Naina: No we didn't. Actually, you and Maa decided that without checking if I wanted the same thing. 

Raj: Naina, I want you to relax and get the best care.

Naina: For the nth time Raj, I am not ill. 

Raj: I know; but I want you to enjoy your maternity break.

Naina: And I can't do that here, because? We have a lot of staff to help us; I promised to stop working from tomorrow. Our house and garden are beautiful. The Cantt hospital is excellent. And I don't need to disrupt my routine. 

Mrs. Ahluwalia: Raj, I think Naina is right; And you'll take good care of her right. 

Raj: Of course Ma! Ok fine I give up! 

Naina gave him a quick peck on the cheek!

Naina: Stop sulking!!

Mrs. Ahluwalia: Chalo beta, take care of yourselves

Raj & Naina: Bye ma!! Bye babab

after cutting the call

Mr. Ahluwalia: How did you give in so easily?

Mrs. ahluwalia: Did you see how happy Naina was? Their marriage is real and thriving, and this process of welcoming a baby together will bring them closer

Mr. Ahluwalia: You are right; Naina and Raj both deserve it.

Raj was looking around for Naina in the house; he stepped out and was mesmerized. She was sitting and gardening and looked so happy and at peace. 

Naina: Quit staring at me and come here and help!

Raj: What inspired the gardening advocate Naina?

Naina: The fact that you locked up my study and have banned all my work

Raj: We agreed that you'll take time off

Naina: Yes! But what should I do? I'll get bored. So gardening it is. Oh and I was thinking of doing 10k every day 

Raj: Naina, isn't it time to ramp down? 

Naina: You are such a worrier

Raj: And you are such a stubborn, competitive imp

Naina: Are you scared I am too fast for you?

Raj: Naina you are incorrigible you know 

Naina took the hose pipe near her and turned it on Raj

Raj: Naina stop it! Don't play with water, you'll get wet. 

Raj tried grabbing the hose pipe but Naina skipped ahead; she was smiling when suddenly she tripped against the pipe and was headed for a nasty fall. Raj leaped into action and caught her, breaking her fall.

Raj; Are you okay? Did you get hurt? Did the baby...

Naina: How can I not be okay when you are around; you took the brunt of the fall. Like always. 

Naina leaned into Raj and kissed him on his lips lightly, Raj hesitated but as he saw the expectant look in Naina's eyes, he responded and deepened the kiss. Naina hugged Raj tightly, and looked into his eyes. They were breathless by the time they separated. 

Naina; Thank you for bringing so much joy into my life. After bhaiyas death, Abhi's betrayal, my.. my.. suicide attempt I never thought I'd find joy in my life. But in just over 3 months. you and your calming presence has made me laugh, and smile. You are really special, and you mean the world to me

Raj: That's the most lovely thing someone has said to me; Naina.. I want to tell you something about Naveen

Naina: I have something to say as well. Raj I have been studying bhaiyas case. and I want to focus on it more

Raj: What?! Naina you promised you'll stay away from it.. I'll prove Naveen's innocence.. but this is not the time for you to get involved in something so risky.

Naina: Raj he was my brother

An orderly interrupted them

Orderly: Sir, Ma'am. The new captain has come to meet you

Raj: Send him here

Raj helped naina get up

Raj: Naina we'll continue this conversation. You won't take any unnecessary risks.

Naina: Let's talk later. Let's go and greet our new neighbour.

As they walked into the living room, they got the shock of their lives. It was Abhimanyu Rai Chauhan

Raj: Chauhan! What brings you herE?

Naina: What are you doing here?

Abhimanyu: Naina I was posted here; I arrived yesterday.

Naina: No I mean in this house! I told you to never show me your face again.

Abhi: Naina I had to come see you. How are you doing? Are you taking proper care of yourself. 

Naina: yes I am fine. I take great care of myself and I have the best husband in the world.

Abhi: Of course, Raj I am so grateful for all that you do

Raj: How are you Abhi..

Naina: No we won't exchange fake pleasantries... And you don't need to be grateful to Raj. I am Raj's wife; and you have no place in our lives

Abhi: Naina, I know you hate me, and I deserve it. But how can I not be concerned. You are pregnant with my baby.

Raj: Enough Abhi. This is Naina's child and my child; and we'd both prefer if you stay away from us. Please leave now. 

Abhi walked away

Raj: Naina calm down. Have some water

Naina: Why is he here? Did I jinx our happiness by talking about it?

Raj: Don't be silly; you and I define our happiness and nobody comes between that. NOBODY
