Naira was sitting in the school deep in her thoughts. She was in a dilemma. She was confused as to what to do and what not to. Though she has a friendship with Sukanya, but soon she started feeling uncomfortable in that friendship. Was it comfortable to have a boyfriend just at the age of 15? Was it right? Yeah Sukanya was a year older to her, but was it right ethically? Shall she talk to Akshara about this? no, her mind shouted. What about Naitik? no way Naira he's your father you can't openly discuss these things with him. Naira came out of her thoughts when she saw a primary school girl holding her mother's hand "Mumma.... Mumma ko best friend kyu kehte hain?" The girl asked "kyunki hamare bache humse kuch bhi share kar sakte hain, hum daante hain, maarte hain, lekin uss se zyada pyaar karte hain, parwah karte hain" The moment that mother said that reality hit Naira had. No one loves her more than her mother does.

Naira was walking back home on foot as she didn't feel like going with a driver. On the way she heard some men saying "itne rape cases, pata nahi woh bechariyan kis dard se guzarti hongi" That made Naira realise why Akshara was over protective for her "akhbaar ka koi panna khol lo rape ki khabar ya dahej ki khabar" The men said. Naira started walking yet again. Though she sent the driver, she knew Akshara would panic now. So she chose to increase her speed and thankfully she reached home soon.

"Naira tune gaadi vapis kyu bheji?" Bhabhi Maa was worried "Badi Dadi woh mera paidal aane ka mood tha" Naira shrugged "Naira paani peele" Akshara gave her the glass. It's been 7-8 days since Akshara never said a word to Naira, she didn't scold Naira, she didn't stop her from doing anything. It was because of the fight Naira and Akshara had regarding Akshara being strict for no matter and always nagging Naira who chose to break the ice today "aapne kya khaya? khaana ya Papa ka sar?" Naksh choked the water he just had and giggled. Akshara was just looking at her daughter in shock "agar nahi khaya toh khaalo aur mujhe bhi dedo, aapse kuch baat karni hai baad mein" Naira said in a serious tone.

"Naira koi serious baat hai?" Akshara was restless and just kept asking while having food also "aap chain se khaana nahi khaa sakte? bolte rehte ho bolte rehte ho" Naira sighed "Badi Dadi.....aaj yeh Maa Beti lad kyu nahi rahe?" Naksh asked in a low voice "woh chahe ladein na ladein Lalla, tu kuch na kuch zarur karega" Bhabhi Maa gave him a look "Badi Dadi kitni shaanti hai dekho, kahin yeh toofan se pehle aane wali shaanti toh nahi?" Mishti giggled "tum dono na chup ho jao abb" Devyani pulled Naksh and Mishti's ears "vaise aaj suraj kahan se nikla tha?" Naksh asked "Bhai aaj suraj nahi nikla, baadal hain" Mishti shrugged her shoulders "tabhi Naira shaant hai, nahi toh yeh toh suraj ki tarah garam hi rehti hai, gussa toh iski naak pe rehta hai, aaj isko Surya Dev ke aur Surya Dev ko iske darshan nahi hue, tabhi yeh Mumma ke saath itni shaant hai" Naksh gave his stupid philosophy which earned him a smack from Bhabhi Maa.

"Naira kya hua?" Akshara and Naira were on the terrace "Mumma....." Naira didn't know how to start "bata kya baat hai? kisi ne kuch kaha tujhse?" Akshara asked. Naira laid on the sofa with her head in Akshara's lap "Naira" Akshara stroked her hair "I'm sorry Mumma..... I'm sorry, for misunderstanding you, I'm sorry for hurting you" Tears rolled down Naira's cheeks "I'm sorry too, main bhi bhool gyi thi ki main khud iss phase se nikli hoon" Akshara kissed Naira's forehead "tujhe pata hai aaj maine Maa se baat ki iss baare mein, Maa ne mujhe bht daanta, aur unhone mujhe meri harakatein batayi, Naira from 12-17 years....yeh umar ya toh aapko banati hai ya mitaati hai, ladkiyan yahan safe nahi hain beta, varna main tujhe na rokun, yahan kya? ladkiyan kahin bhi safe nahi hain, that's what scares me and your Papa" Akshara chose to be open and frank with her daughter who sat on the sofa "mujhe aapko kuch batana hai" "haan bacha bol na" Akshara sensed something "Mumma woh....." Naira hesitated "I promise I won't judge you, abb bol" Akshara softened up.

"Mumma Sukanya ka ek boyfriend and she even had sex with him many times, she told me this yesterday and she suggested me to have a boyfriend too" Naira said it in one go and looked at Akshara in fear. But to Naira's surprise, Akshara smiled at her "Naira I'm happy that you shared this with me, bacha iss age mein na hamare hormones humse bht kuch kehte hain, physical ke saath sexual hormones bhi increase hote hain, that's why we women get menstruation, and about the boyfriend thing, Naira main chahti hoon tu apni life mein successful ho, financially independent ho, woh kare jo main nahi kar paayi, haan tab agar teri life mein koi ladka aata hai toh mujhe koi problem nahi hai, rather I'll convince your Papa, par abhi just focus on your studies, yeh jo rishtedaar bakwas karte hain na inke mooh band karva, aur haan bacha Sukanya se door reh, main nahi jaanti ki uski family uspe dhyan deti hai ya nahi, aur mujhe janna bhi nahi hai, mujhe sirf teri parwah hai, Duggu se bhi zyada mujhe teri fikar hai, jab tu paida hui thi aur maine tujhe apne haathon mein liya tha, maine soch liya tha ki tujhe successful banaungi, teri kabhi koi khwaish marne nahi dungi, Naira tujhe jo chahiye main aur tere Papa tujhe leke denge, bas tera focus hatna nahi chahiye, tere paida hone pe bht logon ne mooh banaye the, main chahti hoon ki abb unhe jawaab tu de, apni mehnat se, apne hardwork se" Akshara made Naira understand and conversed with her about each and every aspect of the life "Mumma i promise you, I'll do my best, and i promise main kisi ko kuch bolne ka mauka nahi dungi" Naira happily hugged her mother who kissed her cheek "chal abb neeche warna your siblings will come here to spy on us" Akshara smiled and got up "Mumma" Naira held Akshara's hand "kuch aur kehna hai?" Akshara asked "maine aaj tak aapse yeh nahi kaha....aaj keh rahi hoon..... I LOVE YOU" Naira kissed Akshara's nose, bit it and ran downstairs "ruk tujhe main batati hoon" Akshara ran behind Naira "oh teri Tom & Jerry" Mishti and Gayu high fived "Bua Bua" Naira stood behind Rashmi who started laughing.
