Kartik’s POV. _____________ I was in 10th grade. It was a good pleasant weather that day. I had no idea that day could ever change my life. I saw ‘her’. Whom I decided to call ‘MY SOULMATE’. Naira. My Naira. She was in ‘B’ section whereas I was in ‘A’. That day, is an unforgettable day. I saw her, chatting with her friends. Smitten at an instant, I fell for her. I didn’t even know her name. I learned her name was ‘Naira’ from my friend, Surya. Her long lustrous hair, sparkling eyes, rosy lips,…moreover, when I saw her helping…

Hello! Naira’s POV ——————– I wish I was beautiful as my sister. I know I am 12, but she looks majestic. I feel like I am completely opposite. She has such a toned and fair body, unlike me. Oh, today we are celebrating Mahesh uncle’s and Priya Aunt’s Anniversary on our Cafe. I’d better go and help Momma. “Naira, where have you been? I have been working all alone. Is Nina ready?” she asks. “Sorry Momma. Yes, Nina di is ready. Momma, what shall I wear?” I ask. “Nina will be charming tonight. Ask her to enhance her beauty. You…

Naira’s POV _____________ “Oh God ! I am losing concentration in my studies! It’s the final year and you have to focus Naira. Focus Naira Focus.” I have been writing practical for quite long. So I decided to rest. “Tired huh? You have more to complete” says my best friend Kirti. I don’t care what she said. So I close my eyes for a while. “Naira, hi, my name is Kartik” I hear. I wake up, to see a handsome figure, standing in front of me. “May I borrow your practicals?” he asks. “Of course when I had finished it.”…

*Kartik*: La la la la….. Choo choo…. Look, I am a Mendhak…. Look Arti, I am a Mendhak…. Takes one of the Naira’s photos and…. *Kartik*: And Aira, look. Let’s draw two horns on Momma. Then some moustache…. *Naira*: (Clears Throat) *Kartik*: Look Naira, they both are happy seeing you that way. Come on, I will draw on your face. *Naira*: No Kartik noooooo And runs around the room. He finally gets hold of her. *Kartik*: For how many days will you keep running from me? *Naira*:What are you up to? The babies….. *Kartik*: What babies?? They’ll be happy seeing…

*Kartik*: This is ridiculous!!! *Naira*: What happened? *Kartik*: I really can’t differentiate who’s Arti and who’s Aira. I had Aira until I came to room, then after all the party, when I came back, I saw both beside each other and got confused. *Naira*: Wait…. This is Aira and this is Arti. *Kartik*: Well how do you know that? *Naira*: That’s why I am a mother. *Kartik*: I agree. So the name…. How did you get reminded of ‘Arti’? *Naira*: There’s nothing I don’t know about you I suppose. If I can’t even remember what you said, then how come…

*Kartik*: No No…. Papa is here nah…. Please don’t cry…. And continues patting the small baby. *Kartik*: Oh God… Idk how to stop her…. Please don’t cry…. Look! I am your Papa and you’re my princess! And holds up the baby. The baby even starts to cry a lot louder. He gets scared. He is just confused. Just then the other baby wakes up and starts to cry. *Kartik*: Oh no! He tries to pacify them over again and again. *Kartik*: Baby girls, please stop crying. Your papa is tired. But they continue to cry. Looks at Naira. She’s peacefully…

2 days later… Naira is discharged along with her babies. *Dr.Samar*: Do come for regular check-ups. And now you three are perfectly alright. *Naira*: Thank you Doctor. *Kartik*: Thank you so much… And shakes his hand. They come out of the cabin. *Rajshri*: Kartik beta, we’ll now leave and reach the house and meanwhile you both come in an another car which is outside with a driver. You needn’t to drive. *Naira*: Ok Nani, you don’t worry. Where is Mumma? *Vishambarnath*: Akshara already left to prepare for your welcome. And smiles. They leave. Kartik has one baby in his arm…

The places are shown flooding. Although the forest seems to be safe. *Naitik*: Manish ji, I just can’t think where Kartik and Naira will be at this time. It’s already 1:46 a.m. *Manish*: Don’t worry, I assure you that Kartik will obviously take care of Naira. Naitik nods and keeps worrying. *Naira*: NO KARTIKKKKKKKK Cries, shouts hard grabbing up Kartik’s T-Shirt. *Kartik*: Hey hey, I just can’t….. please Naira….. (cries) just concentrate once…. I know I am not the right person and….. I am obviously a bad husband to not to take you to the hospital…. Naira please…. And cries.…

*Naira*: Kartikkkkkkkkk. I… I just can’t…. And shouts, screams in pain so loud that the sound echoes in that area. Kartik is helpless. Crying along with her. Just unable to. *Kartik*: “God, you would’ve killed me instead of this” (cries) No no Naira. Listen please. Na.. ira.. Please.. I… I Oh my Goodness…. Naira… please calm down… And cries keeping her head on his lap. *Naira*: I just can’t….. Oh Kartik… Please I…. feel like…. I am… dying… Please. Help me. And screams over again and again. Kartik goes totally insane not knowing what to do. He just cries loudly.…
