"did you check the papers again!" Sameer asked.

"Yes Dad, don't worry! I have brought all the required papers. And checked them too." Kartik replied concentrating on the road.

"And when is naira coming? Also Varun and Ayesha?" Sameer asked him.

Kartik took a slight turn and then continued driving the car. He took a glance of his overly-worried father.

"They are on their way dad. Don't worry. I am here to handle all this. You enjoy this day."

"Hmm.." Sameer hummed and then got busy in his thoughts.

Kartik's situation was no different. He was driving but he couldn't wait more to see her.

In the morning, he found himself sleeping on the couch and her sleeping sitting on the floor. He felt guilty and carried her in bridal style trying not to wake her up. But she did.

After freshening up,she went to her apartment telling him that she would come with Ayesha and Varun directly to the court. As she didn't have spare clothes. But not before giving him a hug and a kiss on forehead ensuring him that it would be fine. He would be fine.

His heart warmed remembering that. His lips curved up from the corners. He is so lucky to have her in his life.

Just then a horn from side made him come back to the Earth. And he shook his head concentrating on driving. She is really making him crazy!

Kartik saw ahead. The view of white colour polished building with Civil court written on board greeted him. He sighed. Remembering all the memories which were of his family. Which included him,his father and his mother.

He closed his eyes and couldn't help but smile when he saw his mom calling his name. With love. And then saw his father clicking their pictures. He had a happy family.

He couldn't help but doubt that maybe he would lose his mother from now on. That the memories of his mother would be suppressed with the new ones. Sure,he has agreed to this. But it's difficult to accept it immediately. And he knew it would take time. This would take time. And of losing his mother. He knew that wasn't possible. Because as Naira said his mother is with him everywhere, everytime in his memories,right?

"Beta, let's go!" The heavy voice of his father made him open his eyes. Sameer patted his shoulder ensuring him.

He nodded. "Yes dad, let's go!" He said picking up the piles of paper. And stormed out of the car.

Mom,hope I am not doing wrong. You know na that we won't forget you. We can't. You are in us mom. And about this. It's important for dad. His happiness. You do understand this, right?

A lump formed in his throat but he soon composed himself. Just then he felt a pat on his shoulder. He turned to look at his father looking at him with moist eyes. Sameer took him in a hug.

They shared the emotional hug and soon went in.

"When will she come?" Kartik murmured to himself impatiently.

Just then he spotted Ayesha and Varun. And he smiled. Searching for her.

"Hey bro!" Varun said giving him a quick hug.

"Hi kartik!" Ayesha chirped happily.

Kartik greeted them but he was still searching for her.

"Where is Naira?" Kartik asked frowning.

"She is coming. She got a call. So, is attending that." Ayesha answered.

"Oh ok" Kartik replied and moved to go out.

"You are His son right?" The official asked Kartik.

"Yes I am." Kartik replied.

"Come here then" he commanded and Kartik unwillingly went. But not before ordering Varun to check up on her.

**__________**

On the other side, Naira was getting intuitions that something's wrong. It was bothering her. It wasn't a good day for her. She was doing blunders one after another.

After one hell of ride. They reached the court. Just then her phone rang. It was an unknown number. So she didn't pay heed to it.

But it was ringing continuously. So she picked up the call begrudgingly and asked Varun and Ayesha to go ahead.

"Hello" naira answered the call.

"Hello,Di!" Naira was bewildered listening that.

"Who's on that side?" She asked confused.

"Di,Ayush!" Naira was surprised as he called her after years. Her brother,Ayush called her. Is everything fine? Her thoughts went haywire. And she got worried.

"Ayush, I..is everything ok?" She asked worried while her heart beat increased. And she closed her eyes trying herself not to think something negative.

"Di, dada ji.. dada ji is no more!" Ayush's voice reached her and she couldn't believe her ears.

"What!?" She asked in a hope that maybe she has misheard.

"Yes..di.. dada ji is.. no more..di.. "his voice cracked in the end.

"And..and ma's Crying a lot. Everyone's in tears di... I can't see..them..like this..di..we need you di. I need you. Pls come here." He sobbed like a baby on call and here Naira felt that someone has pierced her heart.

Her tears rolled down her cheeks while she felt grief settling in her.

"Di!"

"I .. I am coming..Ayush.. I am coming..." She said and hanged up.

She wiped her tears and ran to get rickshaw but she couldn't get. Her hands were trembling as she remembered the moments she spent with her grandfather. She tried to compose herself and tried to get rickshaw.

"Rickshaw!"she yelled but again in vain.

"Naira!" She turned to see Varun.

Varun ran upto her. "Naira what happened?? Why are you crying?" He was shocked to see her in this situation. Naira felt relieved seeing him as he could help her.

"Varun..pls can you pls take me. To my house. Pls" she pleaded.

"I will naira..but what happened to u..are you alright?..any problem?" He asked worried.

"I will tell you in the way. But pls help me." She pleaded. And he agreed taking out the car.

And soon she was on her way to her home!
