Naina: Raj, how is she? 

Raj walked over with their wee-little daughter in his hand, eyes brimming with happiness

Raj: See for yourself, hold her! 

Naina: She's amazing isn't she. She has my eyes and my stubborn nose... and she has you...

Naina suddenly stopped realizing that this baby had no biological connection with Raj

Raj: She'll love her mother as much as I love her

Naina: I am so happy Raj! But I am also so physically and mentally exhausted. My body hurts from this surgery. I can't move..

How will I take care of her

Raj: Why do you have to worry about that when I am here? I have taken 3 months leave from the army

Naina: You shouldn't have done that Raj. You love your work and I know the army wants to be progressive but paternity leaves are frowned down upon

Raj: I love you more! More than anything else in the world. Well maybe this munchkin is a tough competition, but you have a headstart

--------------

Raj had never been this happy in his life! He loved being a father more than anything else in the world. And Naina was so grateful for this as he took on a lot of the parenting responsibilities as she recovered from her surgery and battled some bouts of postpartum depression.

But she made good progress; and soon was back to her mischievous, fun-loving self

Raj: It's so good to see you love wholeheartedly. We love that Riyu-piyu don't we?

Naina; Thank you for doing so much. looking after Riya, me, and always having this loving, reassuring smile on your face

Naina: Raj why does Abhi want to come today? He's already met Riya several times on your insistence

Naina: Raj why does Abhi want to come today? He's already met Riya several times on your insistence

Raj: Naina we need to be compassionate towards him; Riya is his biological...

Naina: NO; STOP SAYING THAT! SHE IS ONLY YOUR DAUGHTER.

Just then Abhi entered

Abhi: And I don't want to stake any unfair claims. I just want to give her what belongs to her

Naina: What is this?

Raj opened the file and read the contents

Raj: She doesn't need this! Naina and I can look after her.

Abhi:: This is her's Raj. A 50% stake in all my property and assets.

Naina: We don't need this!

Abhi: I have given up my rights as a father; at least let me have this; how long will you punish me

Naina: You ruined my life; I could have killed this child before she was born, all because of you. You reap what you sow

Abhi (looking at Raj): Really; is it that simple?

Rajveer Naina: Kya Pyaar Kaafi hai?Where stories live. Discover now
