After the stunt he pulled before everyone he was determined to take his wife with him.
K "Now you are coming with me. I don't care about your opinion. Nahi kisi aur ki." He said looking at them.
N "Kartik!" She jerked off his hand and ran to her room crying.
K "Naira, I am sorry but.."
K "Naira.." He called her many times but she didn't stop. Did he do right thing?
"Kartik beta, yeh tumne kya kardiya?" His nani snapped at him.
K "Nani, aap hi bataye main aur kya karta. Main Naira ko samjha nahi sakta. uparse Naksh!" Naksh looked at him furiously.
Naksh "Mumma, dekha apne Kartik ne kya kiya. He didn't even think about her health. Agar usse kuch hogya toh."
Naitik "Kartik, Sach sach batao tumdono ki shaadi hogayi hai?"
"Aap sabko mujhpar toh barosa hai nah. Maine kudh karwaye hai unki shaadi." Then she explained them everything.
They all felt for Kartik except Naksh. Sahil's parents left after the insult. While Sahil could not stand there anymore.
Naksh "Yeh shaadi ka koi matlab nahi hai. Hum nahi mante iss shaadi ko. Yeh tumhari koi jhooti kahani hogi."
K "I don't care what you think about me or this marriage. Because I can't make you understand. Don't come between me and Naira." He glared at Naksh and went to meet Naira.
Naksh remained silent for a while as his family was supporting Kartik over him.
Luckily the door of her room was open. Locking the door slightly, he walked inside to find her in the balcony. She was standing there all quiet.
K "Naira?" Keeping his hand on her shoulder he called her slowly.
N "Kartik, leave me alone for sometime. Please?" She requested in a calm voice.
He smiled softly at her and took her in his embrace not giving a second thought. He knew she needed that hug. They needed each other the most at that moment.
K "We are going to US tomorrow. Take your time. I will wait for your answer." He left not before kissing her forehead lovingly.
Naira didn't say anything but kept staring at his retiring back. Her reflection in the mirror made her realise she was blushing. She touched her forehead where he kissed a while ago. Then went to sleep for sometime after the hectic day. She didn't want to think further.

As soon as Kartik entered his home, his family started to question him. Seeing their faces, he knew they got to know the matter.
Suwarna "Kartik, is this the truth?"
K "Maa, this is the only truth. Humari shaadi ho chuki hai. And I don't want to explain anything right now."
"Kittu, Yeh sab kya hai? Shaadi aise nahi hoti. Aur vaise bhi humne tumare liye rishta dhund liya hai." His Dadi said which angered him more.
Manish "Kartik, Maa sahi keh rahi hai. Hum tumhe batana chahte the. But Naira ko lekar tum sabkuch bhool gaye the."
K "Mr.Goenka, kisine apse nahi pucha. You have no right to interfere in my life.
Mujhe toh apse yehi expectations thi. But Dadi aap bhi!" He felt disgusted.
"Kittu, samajhne ki koshish karo. Naira ke liye tumne kitna saha. Usne tumhe kitna dukh diya. Woh tumare liye sahi nahi hai."
K "Enough please. I understand aaplog kya kehna chahte hai. Please stop interfering in my life." At last he said rudely and others went silent.
Suwarna "Kartik, tum abhi thoda aaram karo. sab theek hojayega. Wo log samajh jayenge." She assured him.
Mansi "Bhai, shant hojaiye."
K "Kaise shant hojao main! Kya bol rahe hai yeh log. Ek toh Naira ki halat aisi hai aur.."
"Kittu, ek baat samajh jao hum Naira ko yaha aane ki ijazat kabhi nahi denge."
K "Apko laga bhi kaise ki main usse yaha...let me inform you all main Kal US ja raha hoon Naira ko leke. Kal shamko meri flight hai."
They were shocked for a reason and stunned at their place.
Manish "How did you manage everything this soon? You didn't even ask me."
K "Though I'm not answerable. Still main apko batadoon I did arrangements weeks ago. yeh sudden plan nahi hai."
K "Mansi, Shubham tumdono mere sath aao. Mujhe kuch help chahiye."
Both nodded and followed their brother.
___
K "Mansi, sab details mil gaya nah? Pack everything."
Mansi "Everything is done, bhai. But you think this is right?"
K "Yes. This is the only way to get over this mess. Dusro ke liye bohot soch liya. Ab jo bhi karenge humare liye karenge."
Mansi and Shubham got upset because of his sudden plan.
Mansi "Aapne shaadi karli aur hume nahi bataya!"
K "Situation hi kuch aise the. koi aur samjhe nah samjhe tumdono toh samajhte hona mujhe?" They nodded with a smile.
Mansi "Aab wapas kab ayenge? Hum bohot miss karenge." She pouted sadly.
K "Don't worry guys! Bas kuchdino ke liye ja rahe hai. We will be back soon." He answered making them smile.
Mansi "Toh sidha sidha kahiye nah Honeymoon ke liye jaa rahe hai." She teased him.
K "Oh really!" He hit her lightly and hugged them both.
___
Naira didn't have her meal since the incident so her Nani brought her dinner to her room. She needed to take her medicine too.
She was half lying on the bed thinking about something obviously about him. Her nani sat beside her and she kept her head in her lap.
N "Kya sachmein Meri shaadi huyi thi?" She asked again.
"Tujhe kiya lagta hai?" She asked caressing her hairs.
N "I don't know. Maine kabhi kuch aisa feel nahi kiya. But jab woh keh raha toh laga ki sach hai. Maybe." She was too confused to come on a conclusion.
"Toh tum manti ho ki tumhari shaadi huyi hai."
N "Mujhe kuch nahi pata. Mujhe toh uske baremein bhi kuch nahi pata. But I am very sure Kartik mujhse bohot pyaar karta hai. Maybe.." She even didn't know about her own words.
"Kartik tujhse bohot pyaar karta hai. Tu uske sath humesha khush rehegi."
N "But I don't."
"Tu bhi usse utna hi pyaar karti hai. Bas thoda time do sab apne aap hi realize hojayega."
N "Nani, usne kaha ki kal vo mujhe lene ayega. Mujhe jana chahiye uske saath?" She asked slowly.
"Usne mujhe kaha hai."
N "Aur aap maan gaye?" She asked surprised.
"Haan. Kyuki mujhe uspe pura barosa hai. Lekin decision tujhe lena hai."
N "Mujhe thoda time chahiye. Main prepared nahi hoon." She sobbed thinking about it again. This was so complicated!
Her Nani just took her in her arms. And assured her.
"Jo bhi karna soch samajh ke karna. Mujhe pata hai Naira bohot samjhdar hai. usse pata hai kiya karna hai kiya nahi. Ab khana khao."
Naira nodded not being fully satisfied. After finishing her meal, she went to gain some sleep.
___
K "Nani, kaisi hai Naira? Usne kuch kaha? uski tabiyat toh theek hai nah?" He kept asking questions to his Nani on phone.
"Haan, Haan, bilkul theek hai. Abhi sulake aayi hoom usse."
K "Naira maan jayegi nah aane ki liye?" He asked hopefully.
"Pakaa manegi." Her answer gave him some hope.
K "Ab apne kaha hai toh jarur aayegi. Good night." He cut the call happily.
___
The next morning, he was in a rush to go to office but his mother was making him late.
Suwarna "Kartik, bas 2 minute. Main abhi aarahi hoon rukhjao."
K "Maa, mujhe jaldi jana hai. I have an argent meeting. Main office me kuch kha lunga. Bye."
Mansi "Jane dijiye unhe. Bhai ko sab jaldi khatam karna hai. unki holidays jo hai." He said teasing.
Kartik slapped on her head stealing a snack from her plate and left hurriedly without having breakfast.
Suwarna " Ye ladka bhi nah."
____
Naira was helping her mother in serving the plate. She was absent minded. Thinking about him only.
Naitik "Princess, sit with us. Tum bhi breakfast karlo." But she didn't hear it.
Akshara "Naira!" She shook her lightly and Naira looked at them.
Naitik "Princess, are you okay?"
N "Yes papa, I'm absolutely fine."
Naitik "Did you make your decision? Tumhe jana hai..." He asked hesitantly.
N "Papa, mujhe kuch kaam yaad agaya. I will be right back." She left ignoring his question.
They sighed and requested her Nani to get the matter. She went to Naira's room only to see a suitcase on the floor. Naira lowered her eyelashes. Maybe she was trying to hide her blush.
"Toh yeh baat hai."
N "Nani, aap sabko bata dena main..I mean.." She started playing with her fingers.
"Haan. Main samajh gayi." She went out of her room laughing.
N "Ohh Naira, kya horaha hai tujhe! Itna blush. This was so embarrassing. Kartik ke samne kya hoga tera. Pata nahi tu maan kaise gayi." She said to herself blushing more.
Meanwhile her Nani gave the happy news to all of them. Naksh was not there. He already left for office. Everyone decided to kept it secret from Naksh. She happily messaged Kartik about her approval. He was more than happy.
Their flight was at evening 6pm. So he decided to pick her up at 3 from her home.
He was done with the work. Managed everything already.
Dadi and Manish as usual tried to interrupt but Kartik didn't let them speak at all. He left bidding bye to his mother and siblings.
They wished him luck and happily let him go with her.
__
Kartik entered inside. They all stood up seeing him. He greeted them politely.
Naitik and Akshara took a promise from him to take care of their daughter. As they were really very emotional.
K "Main usse humesha khush rakunga. I promise. She is my life, very precious to me. He lovingly said.
And sorry. He apologized.
Ak "Meri beti ko humesha khush rakhna. Ekbaar Naira ki yaadash wapas ajaye phir hum tumdono ki shaadi bohot dumdham se karenge.
She said and he hugged her. They had a Mother-Son moment.
While she slowly came trying hard to control her blush. Kartik stared at her. But she didn't reciprocate it.
They bid final bye to them and left for airport.
___
Kaira reached airport near 5:30 pm. boarding started. They checked in and entered the plane.
Unfortunately their seats were different. Kartik was sitting with a guy and Naira was sitting with a girl.
He didn't get opportunity to talk to her at all. He so wanted to be with her but he couldn't.
He saw the guy beside him was desperate just like him. As if they were in the same situation.
Before he could ask him and the guy asked him.
Guy "If you don't mind can you please exchange your seat? You have to go there. My wife is sitting beside the girl. He pointed towards Naira.
You all can imagine Kartik's reaction
K "Yeah sure! Why not! He instantly replied.
He thanked God and went to change his seat. And there his Naira was closing her eyes.
K "Does she even care? He thought faceplaming.
He sat beside her but she was in her own world. Kartik couldn't take it anymore and took her earphones.
She still didn't react.
K "Oh God! Ye toh so rhi hai.ye ladki bhi nah. He laughed.
He took a shawl covering both of them. Taking her in a tight hug he enjoyed their company staring her whole night
