Next morning the Goenka family was having breakfast together. Dadi seemed a little worried. Manish noticed this.

Manish-Maa aap kabse sirf nashte ko dekh rahi hain par kha kuch nahi rahi. Aapki tabiyat toh theek hai na?

Dadi- Manish hum theek hai par bas man bechain hai subah se pata nahi kyun. Soch rahe hai mandir hokar aate hai toh todi shanti mil jayegi. Kittu ki hone wali santan ke liye prarthana bhi karenge.

Gayu got a little upset hearing this but kept quiet.

Swarna- Maaji mai bhi aapke saath chalti hun mandir. Surekha tum Gayu ke saath raho usse kisi bhi cheeez ki jaroorat ho toh madat kar dena.

Surekha-Ji didi

Gayu- Aaj bacchon ki school bus nahi aanewali. Samarth aap Vansh-Kairav ko school drop kar denge?

Samarth-Gayu mujhe important meeting attend karni hai. Bacchon ko driver ke saath bhej do na

Kartik- Koi baat nahi Samarth Chachu  bacchon ko aaj mai school drop kar deta hun waise bhi mujhe aur Naira ko hospital bhi jana hai Naira ka routine checkup karane. Toh aap aram se meeting attend kar lijiye.

Dadi-Kittu aaj jana jaroori hai checkup ke liye. Kal chale jana. 

Kartik-Nahi Dadi checkup karana jaroori hai aur aap kyun fikar kar rahi hai mai hun na Naira ka aur humare chotu ka poora khyal rakhunga mai.

Dadi-Theek hai par sabhalkar jana. Swarna pooja ki thali le li?

Swarna-Ji maaji

Dadi and Swarna left. Meanwhile Kartik and Naira went to drop kids to school. Kartik was driving the car extremely slow. 

Naira- Kartik isse fast toh hum chalkar pohoch jaate

Kartik- Accha ji tum itna fast chal paati ho?

Naira-Chup raho tum

Vansh- Bro aap agar itna slow chalaoge toh humari school miss ho jayegi.

Kairav-Papa wo dekho cycle wale uncle humse fast chale gaye

Kartik- Bas Bas sab uda lo majak par yeh sab mai chotu baby ki safety ke liye kar raha hun. Dadi ne kahan tha ki jhatke bilkul nahi lagne chahiye.

Naira- Kartik bas bahut hua yaa toh tum gaadi ki speed badhao yaa toh car roko.

Kartik-Kyun?

Naira- Kyunki mai cab book karke bacchon ko school drop karke akele hospital chali jaungi 

Kartik- Bilkul bhi nahi aisa kuch nahi karogi tum Mai badha ta hun na speed

Naira-(murmuring to self) Waah Naira waah kya acting ki hai aab aya na uunth pahad ke neeche. 

Kartik- Kya kya kahan?

Naira-Kuch nahi kuch bhi toh nahi

Soon they reached Vansh-Kairav’s school.

Kartik- Bye bacchon sambhalkar jana aur aate samay driver uncle lene aayenge thik hai

Vansh-Okay bro

Kairav-Okay Papa. Bye Mumma. Bye chotu baby

Naira-Bye bacchon

Kartik and Naira were on the way to the hospital. Meanwhile, the police stopped their car. Kartik lowered the car window.

Police- Sir aage ek tanker ka accident hua hai toh rasta block kar dia hai. Aap dusre road se jayiye

Kartik- Thik hai.

Kartik took the U-turn and went from another road which was surrounded by forest

Kartik- Be wajah itna lamba rasta lena pad raha hai

Naira-Aur koi option bhi toh nahi hai na

Naira was busy looking at something in her mobile when she felt a peck on her cheeks. She looked towards Kartik who was already looking at her

Naira-Kartik kya kar rahe ho

Kartik- Apni biwi se pyar

Naira- Accha ji kisi ne dekh lia toh

Kartik- Arey humai kya jamane se dar hum aashiq hai bas pyar kia hai koi gunah nahi

Naira- Accha janab

Naira saw a car approaching at a full speed towards them.

Naira- Kartikkkk samne dekho

Kartik saw the car approaching. He turned the steering wheel towards the other side. They managed to escape from getting hit by the car however their car collided with a tree. Both Kartik and Naira fainted. After sometime Kartik regained consciousness first. 

Kartik- Aah mera sar. Ouchh. 

He remembered how their car collided. Suddenly he got alert and looked at Naira. She was still unconscious. 

Kartik-Naira aankhen kholo. Naira baat karo mujhse.

He removed his seatbelt and took the water bottle from the backseat and sprinkled water on Naira’s face. Slowly she started gaining consciousness.

Kartik-(cupping her face) Naira tum theek ho?

Naira removed her seatbelt. She saw Kartik’s forehead was bleeding a little. She got worried.

Naira-(cupping his face) Mai theek hun. Tum theek ho na?

Kartik- Mai bilkul theek hun. Tumhe kahin chot nahi aayi na?

His eyes fell on her baby bump. He immediately placed his hand on her belly. Even Naira looked at him with a worried expression.

Kartik- Naira baby humara baby theek hai na? 

Naira was trying to feel the baby. She was scared.

Kartik- Naira chup mat raho bolo kuch baby theek hai? Kahin use koi chot…..

Naira-  Kartik chup bilkul chup

Kartik- Par Naira…

Naira- Kahan na chup. Baby aap theek ho? Haa mera baby papa ko bolo aap bilkul theek ho

Katik- Baby please batao aap theek ho na. Aapke mumma-papa ke acche bacche hona please batao aap theek hona?

Suddenly they felt the baby kick. Naira winced in pain but at that moment more than the pain the joy of feeling their baby was more important.

Naira-(while crying)Kartik tum tumne feel kia baby baby ne kick kia.

Kartik- (kissed her belly) Haa Naira. Thank you baby. Naira tum chinta mat karo hum turant hospital chalte hai. Sab thik hai. Humara baby bhi theek hai.

Naira-Haa Kartik sab theek hai.

Kartik hugged Naira, keeping her closer to his heart as if protecting her and the baby.
