Hello Everyone

Next Day -
Morning -
Goenka Villa -
Kaira Room -

Kaira are seen sleeping peacefully. Naira engaged in kartik's arms and kartik hugging her tightly.

Suddenly , naira started to shiver in her sleep. Kartik woke up by her movement. He saw she was shivering and sweating badly in her sleep. He tried to calm her by hugging her. He heard murmuring something.

Naira ( murmuring in her sleep ) - Nahi..kartik...please..mujhe..bacha lo....mein maarna...nahi chahti.....please..kartik....no.....kartik.....

And with that she woke up with a jerk. Kartik got up and hugged her tightly, trying to calm her down.

Kartik - Shh..bss..bss...Naira...shaant...ho jao....kuch nahi hua hai.....bss...bss...shaant...shhh.....

Naira calmed down after listening to his soothing voice and words. She hugged him tightly fearing to loose him. While he just caressed her hair.

They got freshen up and went downstairs.

Downstairs -

Kaira came down and saw everyone praying in the temple. They too went there and joined them. Naira signalled kartik that she too want to join so kartik took a chair and made her sit on it. They joined their hands and prayed to the god. Soon, the prayer got completed and swarna gave everyone prasad. After eating his prasad , kartik picked up naira in his arms and took her to the hall. They both were looking at each other intensely.

Hall -

Everyone settled down on the couch with naira in kartik's arms.

Naira - Kartik ab toh hum bethe hai na toh pls mujhe neeche betha do. Pls.
Dadi (supporting her ) - Haan kittu betha do usse neeche.
Kartik ( trying to protest her ) - Par dadi....
Dadi ( cutting him off ) - Koyi par war nahi sun na hume... Jaisa humne kaha waisa hi karo tum.

Kartik nodded and made naira settle down on the couch. Kaira came and sat in naira's lap while kartik took akshu in his arms.

After a few minutes , Gayu came with vatsal in her arms and sat beside naira. Naira felt her presence but didn't reacted to it. But gayu held her hand, trying to gain her attention but naira jerked it off. She again held but naira again jerked it. She again held it and this naira got up with a jerk , due to which she lost her balance but kartik immediately held her.

Swarna held akshu and Kairav. Kartik picked up naira in his arms and made naira sit in his lap.

Kartik ( checking her ) - Naira kya hua kahi lagi toh nahi na ?? ( naira nodded her head in no ) Tum theek ho na ??

Naira nodded and snuggled into him.

Kartik ( scolding her ) - Tum kyu uthi ek dum se naira ?? Agar lag jaati toh ?? Kuch ho jaata toh ?? Tum kyu nahi sunti meri kabhi bhi jab dekho bas apni chalani hai. Ab batao kyu uthi tum aise.

But naira didn't said anything just snuggled into him more.

Kartik ( caressing her hair , softly ) - Naira bolo bacha.
Kairav - Papa mei batata hoon. Woh actually gayu maasi baar baar mumma ka haath pakad rahi thi aur mumma baar baar jerk kar rahi thi but jab woh nahi maani toh mumma ek dum se aise uth gayi. Haina mumma??

Naira nodded. Gayu came and sat beside naira and tried to hold her hand but naira took it away.

Gayu - Naira I am sorry. I am really sorry. I know meri galti maafi ke layak nahi hai but kya tum fir bhi mujhe maaf kar sakti ho. Please kuch toh bolo naira. Please.
Naira ( to kartik , in a low voice ) - Kartik please inse kaho mujhe inse koyi baat nahi karni yeh mere paas na aaye. Pls kartik.
Kartik - Gayu pls usse time do. Woh theek ho jayegi tum abhi usse dhoor raho pls.

Gayu got hurt listening to this but didn't said anything just went from there while the family understood that she is hurt and angry from Gayu because of her that behaviour.
