CHAPTER 2 : THE LETTER !
he starts reading the letter
the letter
dear naira , when u read this letter , it will be very heartbreaking for you but its the bitter truth and you will have to accept it . after knowing the truth you may be upset ad angry at us and that anger of yours will be justified. akshara and i have hidden a truth from you , we have lied to you saying that you are our daughter but the truth is you are not a singhania , you are an orphan. we brought you from an orphanage as our real daughter died the day when she was born. we are really sorry .
~naitik
tears wells up in his eyes and he sits down with a
thuddd…..
he can’t imagine if it is true or not !
kartik (crying) : this can’t happen .. nahi yeh nahi ho sakta . krishna ji yeh sach nahi ho sakta . agar yeh sach hua toh…toh meri naira toot jayegi.. nahi yeh nai ho sakta . i have to find out but how ?
while from behind
naira(confused) :kartik…..kya nahi ho sakta ?
kartik quickly wipes his tears and put on a fake smile for naira and turns behind and asks her
kartik: naira tum yahaan , abhi tak gayi nahi . kya hua sab theek hain na ?
naira: haan kartik sab theek hain voh mera phone room main reh gaya tha toh usse lene aayi, voh sab chodo par tum batao , sab theek hain na ? tum yahaan aise?
kartik: aree kuch nahi , voh mera phone aa gaya tha aur bahar luv kush bahut shor macha rahe the toh bas main store room main aa gaya
naira : kartik mujhe galat mat samajhna par tumne phone pe kaha yeh nahi ho sakta ? sab theek hain na ?
kartik: voh jis deal main mai kaam kar raha tha , voh deal shayad hamein nahi milli par no problem tum tension mat lo it was a small one .
naira(still not assured) : ohh… tum tension mat lo , kuch na kuch ho he jaayega
naira’s pov
kuch toh hain jo kartik chupa raha hain. uske chehre par tension he nahi balki dukh bhi dikh raha hain . mujhe pata lagana hoga . iss waqt kartik ko chodkar singhania sadan nahi jaa sakti . kartik was looking really upset and tensed .
naira’s pov ends
kartik pov
sorry naira tumse jhooth bolne ke liye par mujhe pehle khud sach janana hoga then only i can tell naira ,main tumhein koyi jhooti tasalli nahi dena chahta .krishna ji naira bohot strong hain , usne bahut kuch jhela hain . plss yeh baat jhooth he ho
kartik pov ends
kaira room
kartik: naira main office jaa rahan hoon voh deal finalise karke aata hoon
naira : hmm ok.. all the best !
kartik (in mind) : sorry naira . phir se jhooth bola but if i stay here then i wont be able to face you
kartik’s cabin
he is holding the letter and thinking to call naitik but is afraid if it comes out to be true . he somewhere knows that it can be true because naitik doesn’t lie . whenever he is trying to call naitik he immediately hungs up as he is scared of naira . he is scared what will naira go through all of this . if it is a lie then why did his papa naitik wrote this . his thoughts got interrupted when he saw naitik calling him
kartik : papa
he picks up the call
kartik: radhe krishna papa . app kaise hain . appki tabiyat toh theek hain na ?
naitik : radhe krishna beta , main theek hoon par tumhare itne saare missed calls kiye ? kuch hua hain kya ? sab kuch theek hain na udaipur main ?
kartik(stammering): pa..pa….woh..mujhe ….apse…ku..ch…poochna…hain
naitik: haan beta poocho na ..itna ghabra kyun rahe ho?
kartik : papa kya koi cheez hain jo apne mujhse ya naira se chupai ho ?
naitik (little concerned and is thinking about the letter) : nahi beta main kyun chupaonga tumse ya naira se
kartik: papa kya naira appki beti hain ? kya voh singhania hain?
naitik : toh tumhe pata chat gaya voh letter maine likha tha ! kartik im sorry but yeh sab sach hain
and that was enough for kartik to get panicked and he immediately hung up the phone and was crying bitterly holding the letter and was cursing god
kartik: kyun bhagwan ji kyun ? what will i tell naira ? how will she handle it ?she has already went through so much then why ? why would you do that to my naira who has always supported me , always understood me and my family , always sacrificed her happiness for her family . then why ? every time why does everyone lie to her including me and why is she not selfish . why she always forgives everyone ? kya bigaada hain uska apka ? when i lied to her that krish is her baby and told her that kirti’s baby has died , she forgave me . jis din krish ka sach saamne aaya us din chup chap kirti ki god main de diya . akele sehti rahi wo ek baar fir ! but why again ! she wont be able to handle that her own family lied to her , that she has never seen her real mom’s face !! why is god so unfair to her ?
PRECAP: WILL NAIRA GET TO KNOW THE TRUTH ?
