Kartik : I am ready to marry but...

Swarna : but?

Kartik : Unless and until I get to know whether she likes me or not... Nobody will tell them anything...

Kirti : what? Par aisa thodi hota hai? Jab hum apna answer denge tabhi toh vo log answer denge na? These are the steps of arrange marriage...

Kartik : vo mai decide karunga... Lekin jabtak Naira ki haa nahi aajati tabtak koi nahi batayega... Don't take her granted... Is that clear?

Everyone nodded. Kartik left.

Kushal and Naksh were sitting on the dining table having a conversation.

Kushal : finally haa kardi usne...

Naksh : haa

Kushal : par... Ye mahila mandal ko Kartik se naa ki ummeed thi...

Naksh : what? Didn't the ladies like the girl?

Kushal : pasand nahi aayi aisa nahi hai... But there is something going on in their minds... Upar se sab aise Kartik ko dekh rhe the jaise ab vo naa kardega... But he said yes... And that too confidently...

Naksh : then that's a serious matter... I mean... Unse baat karni chahiye... Ek insaan ki vajah se ghar tutna nahi chahiye...

Kushal : ha... Abhi toh Kartik keliye haa boldenge... But what if they bond up well with that girl after marriage?

The next day,

Kartik came downstairs and straight went to kitchen where Swarna was cooking and Manish was also there talking to Swarna.

Kartik : maa...

Swarna : hmm... Bolo...

Kartik : vo... Number chahiye tha...

Swarna : what? Number? Kiska?

Kartik : a... Vo... Naira ka...

Swarna : accha... Iske liye aaya hai?

Kartik : maa pls... Ab chiddhana mat...

Swarna : (chuckles) accha... Mere room mein dressing table par uski details hai... Usme number bhi hai uska...

Kartik : (hugs her) thanks ma... Love you...

Kartik runs to Swarna's room.

Manish : pagal hogya hai...

Swarna : history is repeating Manish ji...

Manish : what do you mean?

Swarna : didn't you wait for my answer at the time of our marriage?

Manish : hmm...

Swarna : Par ek baat manni padegi ha... They look perfect together... Just like made for each other...

Manish : ha... Pehle made for each other... Fir mad for each other... He is already gone mad for her...

Swarna : haa... Aur aap mere liye... Mere jawab keliye ruke the... Vahi bohot special laga mujhe...

Manish : dhanyavad mohotarmaa... Vaise... Abhi abhi kya kaha tha tumne... History is repeating... Kare kya firse history repeat?

Manish asked looking mischievously at Swarna.

Swarna : (gasps) chup kariye... Pagal hai kya?

Manish : arey...
🎶 tu abhi tak hai haseen aur mai jawaan...
Tujhpe kurbaan meri jaan meri jaan 🎶

On the other side,

" call karu?  Ya naa karu? Karu? Ya naa karu? "
Kartik was confused as hell.

He had taken Naira's number in the morning and then left for office.
And now he was confused that whether he should call? Or no?

" ughhhh... " he became frustrated and got up from his chair.

He was about to go in the washroom but he felt someone holding his hand from back.
He turned.

" I am waiting for you to call " Naira said.

Kartik rubbed his eyes and looked... she had disappeared.
He looked at his phone... smiled... and straightaway called her.

At Aruna's house,

The phone was ringing. Aruna picked up the call.

Aruna : ha Akshara bol...

Akshara : jiji... Vo Kartik Goenka hai na...

Aruna : haa... Uska kya?

Akshara : vo... Uska phone aaya tha... I mean he had called on Naira's number... But you know that Naitik has taken Naira's phone... So I picked up the call and gave him your landline number... So if he calls... Tell Naira to talk with him... Ok?

Aruna : thike...

She cut the call. She was about to leave that the landline rang again. Aruna picked up the call.

Aruna : hello?

Kartik : ji mai Kartik Goenka bol rha hu... Vo Akshara aunty ne ye number diya tha...

Aruna : oh ha... She told me... Ek min ha... Mai Naira ko bulati hu...

Aruna called Naira and told her to speak with Kartik.

Naira : hmm... Bolo...

Kartik : a... hi... Maine bas... Itna batane keliye phone kiya tha ki... If you like me too... Then we can go ahead... Agar aapko sochna hai sochiye... Take your time... Koi pressure nahi hai... Don't take tension... O... Ok?

Naira : (shocked) h... Ha... Mai badme... I mean so... Sochke bataungi... Ch... Chalega?

Kartik : ha... Not a problem...

Naira : mai rakhti hu... Bye

Kartik : bye

She cut the call.

Aruna : kya kaha?

Naira : he said that if I like him too then we can go ahead...

Aruna : (happy) wow... That means he likes you... Means it's a yes! Wait... Mai Akshara ko batake aati hu...

Aruna left in excitement.

" nooooooo " she wanted to scream an cry but she controlled.

Here, Kartik was like wiping his sweat😅.

" ye ladkiyon se baat karna itna mushkil hota hai kya? Muh se words nikal hi nahi rhe the... Uski bhi yahi halat hogi... Usne kaha badme bataegi... Hey bhagwan haa karde vo pls 🙏🏻 "
