Naira came out of that place and sat in the car she came in and picked her phone and on seeing Karthik’s missed call, she sighed.
N: lallu, isko kya pata ke…kya bolun main bhi?
She smirked while smiling and called him back. He received it immediately.
N: hello baby, lunch ke liye kuchh bhejoon tumhe?
K: lunch, dinner hota rahega, tum kahan ho is waqt? Jhoot mat bolna, tumhari boss ka phone aya tha k ek ghanta hogaya phir bhi tum wahan nahi gai ho.
N: oye hallo, tumhare liye surprise plan kar rahi hoon, galat mat samjho mujhe
K: achha? Kyun? Konsa event aanay wala hai?
N: oh please Mr.stalker, tum mere pati ho k detective ho k itnay sawal kar rahay ho?
K: pati hoon tumhara, haq hai mera tum par, tumhari fikar horahi thi isliye poochh raha tha, tumko kya hogaya hai? Pehle subha itni si baat par gussa, phir tumhara office ki chhuti karna without reason, phir ab attitude dikha rahi ho? What’s the reason?
N: sarr na charho mere Mr.Dhanjani (she sighed and tried to cool herself while he got shocked) sorry baba, ainda nahi hoga, main agar saamne hoti toh sit-ups bhi kar leti, kaan pakar leti, ghutnay tekk deti apnay tumharay liye, saamne nahi hoon na, sari problem hi yeh hai, main ajaun tumhare saamne? Hmm?
K: theek hai.
Call disconnected. She smiled.
N: shukar maan gaya.
She drove away while he traced her location and saved it.
K: phir ek jhoot, ye jaga to bohat sunsaan hai, yeh yahan kya karegi? I will go to that place tomorrow before coming here. Kuchh toh hai wahan pe.
Just then the door of his studio opened and Naira walked inside. She held her ears and kneeled down near his feet.
N: sorry baby (she held his feet and he was just too stunned to react), I can also do sit-ups for you.
She stood up and does it saying sorry whenever she sat down during it but he stopped her and nodded in negative cupping her cheek and they shared a hug, she smiled and he noticed his tiffin in her hand as they parted away.
N: main tumhare saath time spend karna chahti thi isliye main office nahi gai, tumhe toh pata hai main tumse kitna pyaar karti hoon, chalo ab mere jaanay se pehle surprise toh dekhlo.
She opened the tiffin box and the aroma that spread in the air made his mouth watery. It contained dosa and idli.

K: wow Naira, biwi ho toh tum jaisi, yeh tumhe bananay ata hai? Arey wah
She smiled at his comment. He tasted both of them one by one.
K: umm yummy, tum chef banchuki ho, ek dum maa k jaisa taste hai, itna achha toh restaurant walay bhi nahi banatay. Ab issi baat pe kissi milegi.
He kissed her cheek and they ate together and she went bidding him bye. Later, Naitik came to him.
K: namaste dad
Nait: baray khush lag rahay ho? Kya chal raha hai?
He asked teasingly and Karthik told him how Naira made his favorite dishes for him and learnt within one day and how the taste was just like his mother.
Nait: wah
K: mujhe kuchh or bhi batana tha
Naitik asked and he told about the recent happenings after he promised not to tell Naira, he also told her how he caught her lie that she’s planning a surprise for him but actually she was somewhere else at that time.
Nait: Naira ko kya hogaya? Pehle to tumse aise baat nahi karti thi.
Then he told about Anushka’s threat and how she gave him a blooded chit with Naira’s name and all the happenings after she came home that night.
Nait: mujhe lagta hai she’s not our Naira.
K: lekin aisa kyun lagta hai aapko? Uski shakal toh same hai.
Nait: tum bohat bholay ho, kya tumko nahi pata Anushka jaise log kya kartay hai? Humshakal se asli larki ko replace kar detay hain, tum uspe nazar rakho, kuchh toh ek aisi nishaani hogi jo sirf tumko pata ho?
Karthik recalled the scene of his birthday.
Flashback:(from chp 16)
Naira: I want to change my clothes but my body is paining.
He made her sit on bed as he was carrying her in his arms as she slept on the way back home and sat behind her.
K: where is it paining?
N: on my back.
K: I will make it fine.
He moved her hair in front and she smiled. He saw his name’s tattoo on her back. Firstly she just had one letter tattoo but now she got full name. It was visible only half so he untied the dori of her blouse and she closed her eyes to feel his touch. He kissed the tattoo and realized the pain was a drama to show him tattoo.
K: you’re good at giving surprises.
N: thank u
K: but you tolerated so much pain for me?
N: everything is fair in love.
She smiled and he kissed her cheek making her blush hard.
Flashback end.
K: han vo tattoo jo usne meri birthday pe mere liye banwaya tha.
Nait: bas, aqalmand k liye ishara hi kaafi hai. Tumko pata hai ke tumhe kya karna hai, whenever you do romance, distract her and do it.
Karthik smiled at him.
Nait: or us jaga pe main jaunga, kya pata mera sandeh vishwas mein badal jaye, waise to mushkil hai mere liye us par shak karna, uski jasoosi karna, lekin uski safety k liye main dunia bhi chhor dunga.
Karthik looked on and thought that if everyone has such father then no one will ever face problems. Later at night, Karthik and Naira were in their room, he tried getting romantic with her and slowly laid her. She stared at him as he neared her. He kissed her forehead and cheek.
N: kiss kardo na lips par.
He was stunned by her words, this was what Anushka used to say to him but he took it as a coincidence and smashed his lips with hers. They parted away and she turned her back towards him shying away and he took this an opportunity to check for tattoo.
