Leap of 2 days

They all came to Cape Town.

Naira was sitting and working in hall. Shiv was making drawings.

"Bhua Bhua. Aapko Hills ki drawing aati hai." He asked cutely.

"Nahi." Naira trembled.

"Yeh dekho I made it." Shiv showed his drawing.

Naira saw the drawing carefully. A chill ran down her spine. She held the drawing and tore it into pieces. She was trembling. She was scared of even hearing name of Hills. She was feeling suffocated.

Naira just ran out of the house. She sat on the ground and wore her earphones. She wanted peace.

Shiv was crying inside. Keerti came to him.

"Shiv kya hua?" Keerti asked.

"Mumma Bhua ne meri Hills wali drawing faarh di." Shiv cried.

"Abhi tak woh darr hai uske andar Naitik." Akshara held Naitik's hand.

"Bacha Bhua is scared of Hills. She gets disturbed." Keerti made him understand.

"I'll say sorry to Bhua." Shiv ran outside.

He saw Kartik and Naira sitting on the ground.

"Naira getting scared from Hills isn't accepted. That day you told that girl the much she will get scared more than that those men will scare her." Kartik held her hand.

"I know." Naira agreed.

"So if you will keep getting scared from Hills....their thoughts will scare you more than enough. Facing the problem is the solution...these are your words only." Kartik took her in his hug.

"From when you became mature?" Naira chuckled.

"Why you always make fun of me?" Kartik made a cute face.

"I don't know but seeing you and hearing your talks I feel like making fun of you. Can't help it out." Naira shrugged her shoulders.

"I'll tell you wait." Kartik pulled Naira.

Naira pushed him and started running in the lawn. Kartik ran behind her.

"Mumma Papa!!! Dadu Dadi...Nani...." Shiv shouted.

They all came out and saw latest version of Tom and Jerry. They all bursted into laughter seeing them.

Kartik threw mud on Naira's head. Naira threw him in muddy portion as a revenge.

"Stop stop." Akshara and Swarna came in between.

"Kartik go to your room. What mess have you created?" Swarna scolded him.

"Mumma Naira started." Kartik defended himself.

"Don't act innocent and smart in front of me." Swarna pulled his ear.

"Mumma this is wrong." Kartik shouted in pain.

Naira tried to open her eyes but wasn't able to as mud went in her eyes.

"Naira wait." Akshara cleaned her eyes.

"I'll go and take bath." Naira moved back.

Akshara sensed that Naira was still a little hesitant to accept Akshara.

She shared the same thing with Swarna.

"Akshara it will take time. 28 years aren't less period of time. Show her your love but give her space too. Mother and daughters always have the most beautiful relation. At least daughters are better than these idiot sons." Swarna signalled at Naksh and Kartik who were busy in eating kachoris.

"Mumma why you always call boys stupid?" Kartik asked.

"Because boys are immature. You and Naksh are example of that." Naira came downstairs.
