✨ Story Continues…
⏳ Time Skip – After School
The final bell rang.
Students packed their bags and rushed home.
🏡 At Kartik's Side
Kartik entered the house with his siblings.
Suddenly—
Ishita said excitedly,
"Sam! Look… Di is here with the babies!"
Meher jumped happily.
"Yayyy!"
Everyone rushed forward.
Their cousin sister, Aradhana Malhotra, had come home.
With her two little daughters—
Aradhya and Ashavi.
Ashavi ran toward Kartik.
"Mamu, aap school se aa gaye?"
Kartik smiled and bent down.
"Yes, baby…"
He picked both girls in his arms.
They giggled and hugged him tightly.
For a moment—
The house was filled with laughter.
Then his mom called out,
"Okay everyone! Go and change first!"
Kartik nodded.
"Yes, Mom."
He went to his room.
Changed.
And lay down on his bed.
🏡 At Naira's Side
Naira reached home.
"Go freshen up first, then come for lunch," her mom said.
"Okay, Mom."
After freshening up—
They all sat together and had lunch.
But even while eating—
Naira was lost in her thoughts.
🌙 Night
🖤 At Kartik's Side
Kartik lay on his bed.
Staring at the ceiling.
Thinking.
About Naira.
Her smile.
Her tears.
Her resting on his arm.
A small smile appeared on his lips.
Suddenly—
The door opened.
Tiny footsteps rushed in.
Aradhya and Ashavi climbed onto the bed.
"Mamuuu…"
"What are you thinking?" Ashavi asked curiously.
Kartik blinked.
He didn't even realize he was smiling.
"Nothing, babies…"
They looked at each other.
Then giggled.
Just then—
His phone rang.
📱 Naru 💖 calling…
Both girls saw the name.
Their eyes widened.
"Mamu… who is she?" Ashavi asked.
Kartik smiled slightly.
"My friend…"
Both girls giggled.
"Ohooo… friend…" 😏
Kartik shook his head, hiding his smile.
Then—
He picked up the video call.
📱 Call Connected…
Naira appeared on the screen.
Hair slightly messy.
Face soft.
A little tired—
But still beautiful.
"Hii…" she said softly.
Kartik smiled.
"Hii, Naru…"
Before they could talk—
Two small faces popped into the screen.
"MAMUUU 😏😏"
Naira got surprised.
Then smiled.
"Who are they?"
Kartik sighed.
"My nieces… Aradhya and Ashavi."
Both girls waved excitedly.
"Hiiiii!!"
Naira smiled warmly.
"Hii, babies…"
Ashavi asked directly,
"Aap hi ho Naru?" 😏
Kartik choked.
"Ashavi—!"
Naira tried not to laugh.
"Yes… I am Naru…"
Aradhya giggled.
"Mamu aapke baare mein soch rahe the…"
Kartik panicked.
"Aradhya!"
Naira raised an eyebrow.
"Oh really?"
Kartik looked embarrassed.
"Nothing like that… they are just kids…"
Naira smiled teasingly.
"Hmmm… okay…"
But the babies weren't done.
"Mamu aapko dekh ke smile kar rahe the…" Ashavi added.
Now Kartik had no escape.
He covered his face slightly.
"Guys… go to Mom!"
They laughed loudly.
"Nahiii!"
Naira couldn't hold it anymore.
She laughed.
A soft, genuine laugh.
Kartik looked at her.
And for a moment—
Everything else faded.
Then softly—
"You look better now…"
Naira blinked.
"Hm?"
"You weren't feeling well in class…"
Her expression softened.
"Oh… I'm okay now."
Pause.
"Thanks… for today."
Kartik smiled.
"Anytime…"
A small silence followed.
Not awkward.
Just… comfortable.
Then Naira said softly,
"Kit…"
"Hm?"
"You really take care of me a lot…"
Kartik smiled slightly.
"Maybe… I want to."
Naira looked down.
A small blush appeared.
Before the moment could deepen—
Ashavi jumped back into the frame.
"Ohooo 😏😏"
Both broke into laughter.
Kartik sighed.
"These kids…"
Naira smiled.
"Okay… I should sleep now."
Kartik nodded.
"Yeah… take rest, Arooh."
Naira looked at him.
This time—
She didn't react.
She just smiled.
"Good night, Kit…"
"Good night…"
Call ended.
Kartik kept looking at the screen.
Still smiling.
Behind him—
The girls whispered,
"Mamu ko pyaar ho gaya…" 😏💖
Kartik threw a pillow at them.
"Go sleep!"
But his smile didn't fade.
🌙 At Naira's Side
She held her phone close.
And whispered softly—
"Kit…"
A small smile formed.
🔥 Ending Line
Sometimes love doesn't need a confession…
It quietly shows itself in care, smiles… and late-night calls.
