Chapter 19

Day 2

At 10am

Both wake up, Kartik hepls Naira freshen up & then he goes for a shower. Naira was lying on the bed using her phone when Kartik comes out of the bathroom. Naira looks at Kartik and utters

N to K: Kartik tumhe 2-3 baar kisika call aaya tha. Koi set pe se call kar raha he tumhe. Dekh lo

Kartik grabs his phone, looks at the missed calls, messages someone and puts aside his phone. He then comes & sits beside Naira putting his arm around her.

K to N: Toh aaj madam ka kya karne ka mood he?
N: Matlab? Tum set par nai jaa rahe kya?
K: Nai, mene mana kar diya. Tumhe aise chod ke kaise jaa sakta hu me!
N: Kartik me theek hu, tum kab tak aise kaam skip karte rahoge! Tum jao, ghar par Tai bhi hogi na pure din aur agar kuch bhi hoga toh me pakka tumhe phone karungi..
K: Nai Naira, me kahin bhi nai jaa raha, yaha par hi hu tumhare sath.
N in a slightly irritated tone: Kartik tum jaa rahe ho! Mene kaha na bas.
K: Nai! Aur tum irritate kyu ho rahi ho. Mujhe rehna he gharpe, mera ghar he!
N *irritated* : Kartikkkk

Naira hits Kartik with a pillow.

K: Acha sorry sorry. Irritate mat ho! Tumhe waise bhi rest karna he! Doctor ne kaha he bilkul bhi stress nai lene ko!
N: Tum stress de rahe ho mujhe! Niklo yaha se. Mere room se jao bahar tum...
K: Ye mera bhi room he. Anyways me bahar hi jaa raha tha tumhare liye breakfast lane! Tum wait karo aur tab tak vo side table pe se juice pee lo aur apne aap ko thoda shant karo.
N: Tum jao!
K *pointing towards the glass*: Haa par vo juice.

Naira picks up the glass from the side table and fake smiles at Kartik. Kartik goes out of the room to get breakfast.

Naira *to herself*: Agar aise hi Kartik ghar par raha toh vo mujhe pagal karke hi chodega! Pura din peeche laga rahega.
*Naira imitates Kartik*
N: Naira juice pee lo, Naira fruits, Naira medicines...blah blah blah...

Naira thinks: Naira kuch bhi karke Kartik ko convince karna padega set pe jaane ke liye! Aise vo roz roz kaam nai miss kar sakta!

Just then, Kartik enters with breakfast tray in his hands.

K: Naira tum bina complaint kiye ye breakfast khane wali ho..Aur me kuch sun ne nai wala..
N: Ha theek he par ek shart par..
K: Kaisi shart?
N: Tum apne set par jaoge aur apna kaam karoge..aise meri wajah se tumhe apna kaam miss karna padega toh mujhe bilkul acha nai lagega.
K: Par Naira me koi tumhare wajah se kaam nai miss kar raha, mujhe acha lagta he tumhare sath rehna, tumhare sath time spend karna, tumhari care karna....
N: Vo mujhe pata he, par baki ki care tum raat ko aake kar lena..abhi hum sath me ye breakfast karenge aur fir tum ready hoke set par jaaoge..
K: Par Nai...
N interupts: Bas chup...aur kuch nai sun na mujhe... yehi final he...tum abhi call karke boldo ki tum aaoge..late hi sahi par aajse no leave. Aur haa waise bhi me nai chahti ki vo tumhari set ki maharani tumhe koi bhi taunt kare..usko toh bas aur ek chance mil jayega...
K interupts*facepalm*: Haa theek he theek he, me chala jaunga par tum mujhe ek promise karo...ki tum pura rest karogi, aur kuch bhi hoga ya kuch bhi chahiye tumhe ya zyada pain hua toh tum directly mujhe call karogi..
N: Ye ek promise he?...itna bada list bana diya...
K: Haa aur ek baat tum Tai ko zyada pareshan mat karna..sab time pe kha lena, khana, juice, medicine...
N: Haa vo sab kar lungi pehle hum breakfast karle..
K: Haa theek he

Kartik comes and sits next to Naira on the bed & they have their breakfast.
