"You are the best Mumma in this world." Naira hugged Akshara.

"And you are the best daughter in this world." Akshara hugged her more tightly.

"Oh ho....again mother daughter melodrama..." Naksh and Shivani shouted.

They took Naira downstairs. Kartik was looking at Naira with his mouth wide open.

Naira was looking beautiful far far than his thoughts.

"Close your mouth Jiju." Keerti closed Kartik's mouth.

"Oye how I became your Jiju?" Kartik asked.

"Naira Di is my elder sister na. I'm in Naira Di's team now Bhai....Sorry Sorry Jiju." Keerti teased Kartik.

Kartik and Naira were standing on the stage. They exchanged the rings. Everyone clapped for them.

"Mumma Papa made plan of kite flying." Naksh informed.

"Let's do competition then." Shivani shouted.

"Done." Kartik agreed.

"MENDEK you can't win from me in kite flying." Naira challenged.

"Let's see SHERNI." Kartik accepted the challenge.

"They will never ever change." Everyone moved their heads in disbelief.

Everyone went outside to fly kites. Naira was winning as she cut Naksh's kite first,then Manish's,then Abhinav's and then Naitik's.

Now only Kartik and Naira were left.

"Bhua Bhua." Kids cheered for Naira.

Naira was going to win. She didn't know why but she turned her face. She was shocked to see the sight in front of her.

Naitik was holding his chest. He was abt to fall from the terrace. Naira left the kite.

"PAPA!!!!!!" Naira shouted.

Naira ran to Naitik. Before he could fall Naira held him and pulled him up.

"Papa!!!!" Naira shook Naitik.

Naitik was breathing heavily. He fainted then and there only. Everyone came running to Naitik.

"Papa." Naksh rubbed Naitik's palms.

Naira pressed Naitik's chest as only she saw Naitik holding his chest.

"Kartik bottle of antiseptic and first aid box. Go fast." Naira shouted.

Kartik ran and brought the stuff. Naira opened Naitik's shirt from middle. She spread the antiseptic.

"Di Doctor is coming....." Naksh tried to stop Naira.

"Shut up." Naira shouted.

Naira took out the small surgical blade and pinched in Naitik's chest. She took cap of antiseptic bottle and kept on the place where she pinched with blade. Naira twisted the cap.

Within 10 seconds Naitik got his breath back.
