THREE YEARS LATER

"Congratulations Mr. Khanna, it's a boy." A nurse came from OT room and said. Neil thanked the lady and asked, "Can I meet my wife?"

"You have to wait, Mr. Khanna. Let your wife shifts to her room. After that, you can meet her."

"Thank you, nurse." Neil said and was desperate to meet his wife.

One hour later.....
Neil entered the room and saw his wife on bed, holding his baby. His wife looked at him and smiled. He moved forward and sat at the edge of the bed.

Neil caressed his son's head and said, "He is so cute."

"Babies are always cute, dumbo." Kaira said and chuckled.

"Thank you so much, Kaira for this." He said and took the baby from her hands.

"Did you thought any name for our baby?" She asked and he nodded.

"Really? What name we are going to keep?" She asked excitely.

"Karan", Neil said and Kaira cried in happiness.

"Did you like the name?", he asked.

"Of course, how may I not?", Kaira said and keeps her head on Neil's shoulder.

"Thank you, Neil."

"For?"

"For everything."

Three years back, when Karan died, everyone was devastated and broken. The mansion was totally burnt. Kaira started staying in their old house with her parents. Even if the mansion was collapsed in fire, she would never think of staying in a place which made her life upside down. She lost her brother in the same mansion. Her brother's death had shattered her. Although Kaira showed that she was strong in front of her parents, only Neil knew that she was not.

After Karan's demise, Kaira took over the company as per as Karan's wish. It was difficult for her to handle the company in the beginning, but Neil supported her. After few months, Neil's grandpa died. Neil was alone and Kaira consoled him. They were trying to heal each other's pain. Both became good friends and started spending time with each other.

One fine day, Neil decided to tell Kaira, the reason behind Karan's hatred. He didn't wanted to hide anything from Kaira and ruin their friendship. He even asked for her forgiveness. After telling the truth, Neil thought that Kaira would break their friendship and leave him, but she didn't. She stayed with him and also forgived him.

Six months later, Karan proposed Kaira for marriage. Kaira instantly said 'yes'. Neil felt himself to be the luckiest person in the world. They both got married with the blessings of Kaira's parents. Neil brought a bungalow after the marriage as his old house reminded him of his grandpa. He wanted to start afresh.

Neil even requested Kaira's parents to stay with them. They didn't agree because of the old myth followed by Indians that parents shouldn't stay at their daughter's house. Kaira then somehow convinced that she is their daughter and like a son, she also has a right to do everything what she can, which also means letting them to stay at her house. And finally they agreed to stay like happy family, until the real happiness came. Kaira broke the news of her pregnancy. All were happy and eagerly waiting for their new member in the family.

The door opened and Kaira's parents entered.

"How is my daughter?" Kaira's mom ran and hugged Kaira. She then took baby from Neil's hands.

"Viren, did you see that he has the same eyes as my son." Smita said and Karan raised her eyebrows with smirk, while Kaira pouted.

When Karan passsed away, Neil took care of Kaira's parents as his own and Kaira's parents also treated him as their own son.

"But his nose is like my daughter." Viren said and this time, Kaira raised her brows.

Neil said, "You mean, his nose looks like monkey's?"

Kaira slapped his shoulder and asked, "What do you mean? Do my nose looks like monkey?"

"I didn't mean to say that, but if you have misunderstood this then I can't do anything." Neil said raising his hands in surrender. Smita and Viren laughed followed by Neil. Kaira holded her hands against her chest and seemed to be angry.

"Stop your drama, my son was only teasing you. Don't be angry and stop acting like a baby. You are a mother now.", Smita said in stern voice.

"And you Neil, stop teasing my daughter. Be like an adult, you are a father now." Viren said for which Neil nodded.

Neil holds both his ears with his hands and asks for forgiveness. Kaira smiles and says, "Okay, I forgive you, but don't repeat this again."

"Okay madam.", Neil said.

"By the way, what name are you going to keep for my grandson?", Smita asked.

Neil and Kaira looked at each other and said in unison.
"Karan Neil Khanna."

Smita and Viren looked shocked, but turned happy. Smita brings the baby closer to her face and says, "My Karan is back."

Smita and Viren leaves the hospital with joy. Kaira and Neil were sitting on bed and looking at their sleeping baby in the crib. Kaira laid her head on Neil's shoulder, while holding his hand.

"Neil....I am so happy today." Kaira said.

"Me too." Neil whispered.

"I love you." Kaira said and kissed his cheek.

"I love you more." Neil said and kissed her forehead.

At last, everything get resolved. The mystery was finally solved, although they lost Karan in their battle. Kaira and Neil found their love for each other. The baby was addition to their happiness. Smita and Viren found their son back. And the story ended as everyone lived happily after.
