Everyone is busy with getting ready to go back. Naira enters the room where Dadi and Swarna are packing their stuff
Naira: Dadi
Dadi: Naira beta
Naira: Aapne bulaya mujhe?
Dadi: Haan beta woh we had to talk about something
Naira: Tell me dadi
Dadi: Thank you for accepting Kartik back. We wanted to disclose something to you after you forgive him yourself
Swarna: You remember what I told about the happenings on the day you fell
Naira: Yes maa
Swarna: Uss din tumhare saath saath humne humari Kartik ko bhi kho diya hai beta. He was living but just for the sake of living he wasn't alive by all senses, so we wanted him to remarry , thinking that it will bring him happiness. But after you came back we understood that the longing and the sorrow can never be soothed by anyone other than you. We didn't tell all this till now as we didn't want you thinking that we are doing all this just to convince you
Naira: Maa par...
Swarna: Naira Kartik has a lot of things which he has piled up in his heart which he hasn't shared with anyone. You are the only person who can understand his heart better than anyone of us. He is under a great trauma beta , the accident took a toll on him, par woh khulke kuch nahi bolega
Naira: Please dont worry maa...Ill talk to Kartik. Aap tension mat lijiye
Swarna: Sorry beta I know that you have underwent a lot
Naira: Nahi maa meri fikr mat kijiye ...Kartik is there to take care of my health and Ill take care of his
Just then a commotion happens in the living room making Naira rush out.
Luv, Kush, Abir, Naksh, Rishabh , Yash ,Kartik, Akhil and Manish are arguing
Manish: Kartik I have asked for a driver, you need not drive
Kartik: Nahi papa Ill drive like how I did when we came here
Naksh: Kartik you guys have traveled all the way from Rishikesh so dont exhaust yourself. The driver is an experienced one.
Sirat who was there steps in and
Sirat: Kartik ji...aap drive mat kijiye
Kartik: Cant you guys let me do what I want to?
As Kartik raises his voice everyone gets silent. Sirat is upset at this reaction
Naira walks to him and : We cant let you do whatever you want to. Tum bus drive nahi karoge..driver hai uskeliye
Kartik's anger is unable to roar in front of his sherni.
Kartik: Par Naira
Naira: Par war kuch nahi
Kartik: I drove when we came here then why not now?
Naira: I didn't stop you then as I thought that it was our first trip in the bus after an accident so you are overprotective like how you were during Akshu's time but this continuing in every trip is not a good thing Kartik.
Kartik: But Naira...
Naira: What happened to us was an accident, the driver cant be blamed for it. And accidents can happen with anyone
Kartik: Exactly..if I drive Ill not let that happen, I should have done it during our last trip it was my fault
Naira: Exactly Kartik..this is the problem...not everything is your mistake. The driver is driving and its final. Ab jao aur saare saaman pack karo...warna ghar jaake mujhe parishan karoge ki Naira mera belt kahan hai lagta hai mein usko Bikaner mein hi chod diya tha
She pushes him towards the room. Kartik walks away without a word. Sirat is upset on seeing this
Naira in mind: Maa is right...the accident has really taken a toll on him. He does so much for my health I must take care of him. Naira kuch karna hi padega
She turns to leave and dashes on Sirat
Naira: Sorry
Sirat: Naira ji maan na padega aapko. You silenced Kartik ji so easily .
Sensing the atmosphere getting heated up Luv and Kush decide to pitch in
Luv: Waise bhabhi we need your suggestions
Naira: For?
Luv: Kya bhabhi aap bhi as soon as we reach we have to plan for the birthday party of Akshu na
Kush: Haan when she was born we were in hostel and missed the celebration but ab nahi isiliye jaldi jaldi batayiye hume kya karna hai
They drag Naira with them . The scene freezes
Bus
Everyone including Abir is in the bus. Kartik and Naira manage to convince everyone to take Abir with them. The journey begins with excitement but Kartik is scared thinking about the accident that snatched Naira away from him. Naira senses his feelings and holds his hand tighter
Kartik: Naira iss baar yeh haat ko pakadke rakunga..kuch bhi ho chootne nahi doonga...pichli baar bhi
Naira: Kartik..what happened was an accident you cant keep blaming yourself for everything. When I fell its my hand that slipped yours...you were holding on till the last second which was under your control. Please stop blaming yourself for what happened.
Kartik: Par Naira I could have saved you from fall
Naira:That day you fought with death and pulled me out of it more than one time aur abhi bhi dekho its your love which brought me alive. Your love has always won even death in my case. Be it my brain surgery or me surviving the car accident or me surviving this fall...it would not have been possible without your love
Kartik: But the root cause for all that was me. You had your clot due to marital stress, that accident due to my question and now
Naira: If you blame yourself for my clot..even I was the cause...it was my ego which prevented me from seeing your hurt as you lost your brother....our separation was not only because of you Im equally responsible and that question...you asked it and I got angry but that doesn't justify overspeeding in the night and this time my fall was because of the landslide. My Kartik has nothing to be blamed for it
Kartik: Itna support kar rahe ho muje?
Naira: Of course mein nahi karungi toh aur kon karega?
Just then Akshu cries grabbing their attention
Kartik : Lagta hai Akshu is trying to tell something
Naksh: Akshu is saying that muma papa enough of your chatter change the topic towards my birthday
Kartik: Haan yaar Naksh you are right
Kairav: Papa we have to celebrate her birthday in a very grand way
Naira: Haan...I just cant believe that she turns a year old...time usually goes fast but in my case it went by like a heartbeat, but yeah as Kairav said we have to celebrate this birthday very well
Akhil: Thats right beta...our family isn't having a good time with birthdays
Kartik: I ruined Naira's birthday
Dadi: And you guys weren't here for your and Kairav's birthday
Swarna: Lets talk about the future instead of the past
Manish:Thats right Swarna so what's the plan?
Dadi: On her birthday we are arranging a havan in the temple
Kartik: And party at the night
Naira: Ill arrange for the decorations of the party
Luv: We will help bhabhi
Naksh: Ill take care of the catering part
Kartik: Invitations are my responsibility
Akhil: Ill help you Kartik
Manish: Sab teek hai par cake?
Kairav: Muma will bake the cake dadu
Vansh: Yeah maasi makes the best cake
Manish: But how many works will Naira manage?
Naitik: Ill help with the cake ..is that okay?
Kairav: Super okay Nanu
Kairav hugs Naitik
Gayu: Mamaji Ill help you with that
Samarth: If you get busy with that Ill handle Vatsal
Naira: Gayu di I missed Vatsal's birthday so lets make them two cakes and let Vatsal too cut it
Gayu: Naira Im sorry for misunderstanding you and getting angry with you..its that...please forgive me
Naira: Gayu di it is you who has to forgive me
Gayu gets emotional and so does Naira
Kartik: Arrey bas bas no more of tears in this house. Its time for happiness
As this conversation ends the bus stops for a meal break
Everyone hop off the bus. Kartik helps Naira thus irritating Sirat
Sirat in mind: Ill have to earn the love of Kartik ji...Naira can be his wife but I need his love....I cant let go of him..Ranveer and Maudi are dead now Kartik is the only person my heart loves...Ill have to prove that Im better than Naira in many ways...je log toh Naira naira karte rahte the par ab jab unko dekha toh yeh saaf hai ki woh is pyar ki kaabil nahi hai...jab chathi hai unko rulake baga deti hai aur chathi hai tho paas aajathi hai....I must prove that Im way better than her...woh sherni toh bilkul nahi hai par mein babbar sherni
With Sirat lost in her own imagination Kartik pulls Abir with him
Kartik: Abir the birthday party is the right place to tell the families about your love
Abir: But bhaiya
Kartik: Dont worry our support is always there for you
Yash , Ananya and Rose come there
Yash: Kartik told me that he and Naira know about you guys and will help in telling the families
Rose: Waise Kartik and Naira are experts in making jodis and making weddings workout
Yash: Be it our wedding or Anmol Mansi's the wedding could not have happened without them
Ananya: So whats the plan now Kartik?
Kartik: How do I know?
Other four in chorus: Matlab?
Kartik: Naira asked me to call you guys here and tell this, I told...plan toh uska hai
Naira comes there with brownies in her hand
Naira: I heard my name
Kartik: Finally you are here before these people kill me...Naira whats the plan ?
Naira: What plan?
Abir: Di..I mean Bhabhi
Naira: Acha woh...dont worry Abir the family will say yes to your marriage and thats my responsibility. Ab sab log brownies lijiye aur sabke saath jaake bet jayiye warna shaq karenge
With Yash, Rose, Ananya and Abir going back to others with their brownies Naira turns to go but Kartik holds her and pulls her behind the bus. He makes her stand against the bus and leans forward
Naira: Kartik...what are you doing?
Kartik: Romance
Naira: Koyi dekhlega
Kartik gets closer and touches his nose with hers this makes her face turns red
Kartik: Hayee...hayee how long has it been since I saw this
Naira: Saw what?
Kartik: Gaal dekh rahi ho apni..laal hogaya hai jaise tamatar
Naira: Stop your tar tar
Kartik: Nahi bilkul bhi nahi. After so long I have got a chance to romance with my wife and Ill be an idiot if I lose this chance
Naira tries to push him away but he puts his hand around her waist and holds her tight
Kartik: Dont go away from me....aise hi mere paas hi rehjao
Naira: Tumhe chodke mein kahan jaungi? Bechara mauth bhi haar gaya tumhare pyar ke saamne ab toh jeevan bar mujhe jelna padega
Kartik: Ek jeevan kaafi nahi hai mere liye...sach Naira how much ever time I spend with you it will not satisfy me. When you weren't here I realised the value of time...from now har pal ko khulke jeeyenge ...har pal ko itna value karenge ki future mein kabhi kabhi time ko uski value na dene ka guilt nahi hoga
Naira: Ab chalein..everyone will be waiting for us
Kartik: Nahi...lets be here..just us
Naira: What will others think?
Kartik: They wont think anything
Everyone in chorus: Yeah we wont think anything.
Naira turns red completely as she finds everyone there. She tries to get out of Kartik's hold but he doesn't budge
Sirat burns with jealousy on seeing them so close
Naksh: We will just feel happy that you guys are happy
Rishabh: Naksh I thought you were angry with Kartik
Naksh: When Naira herself has forgiven him and when he decided to walk away just for her sake my anger flew off
Manish: Par beta...ab ghar chalein...?
Kartik nods and everyone get on the bus to get back home.
