NaiRan OS : Apno ko thank you nhi bolte, Naina!

1:00 am.

Karan Chauhan, lying on his majestic bed, was still wide awake. Sleep seemed to evade him today since he saw her crying the day before, hugging her own shoulders. Something was bothering Naina, and that thought is making him restless. He could do anything to ease her tension and make her smile. Her smile was the most beautiful thing in the world. Yes, she was pretty but when she smiled she looked ethereal just like and angel descended from heaven.

Angel. Yes, that's what she was. Now thinking about it, he never in his wildest dream had imagined that a day would come when he would call batameez Naina an angel and would be restless if she's unhappy. His perfectly monotonous life was toppled upside down since the day Naina has stepped into it. He was used to being sidelined and ignored by everyone, everyone has just pitied or hated him in the end, but Naina, she was the only one who has tried to understand' him and his rudeness rather than just passing of as weird'. How many times did he try to push her away from his life? But she never left and continued putting up with his behavior and giving him back with her own style.

She fought with him, argued with him and at the end of the day cared for him too. She created havoc in his life; the dynamics had drastically changed due to her. She was turbulence, a beautiful turbulence.

God knows what he did in his previous life to get Naina in this one, but now that he has got her he should keep her preciously like she is meant to. With firm determination, Karan got up to his feet with double energy and spring in his step.

Naina Chauhan was gazing at the stars above, lost in her own thoughts, failing to appreciate their beauty. Last few days have caused tremendous stress on her mind. She was sure Maasi Maa is up to no good and is the reason behind Karan's disease but how was she going to prove it to people who considered her a blessing to this family? She could not remain silent knowing how double faced she is. Papa had continued with his insults, she had her papers in a few weeks and her mind could not take it anymore. There were too many things one after the other leading to her mental trauma and finally causing her breakdown.

She could go on and on thinking about her problems when suddenly her vision turned black! No, she was blindfolded from behind!

"Kaun hai? She asked in vain.

Moments later she felt a hand untying her blind fold and as it slipped down, her breath hitched! The previously dark garden had been beautifully illuminated by candles creating a serene atmosphere. It was beautiful. She turned around to find Karan standing with a proud grin plastered on his face and a tray in his hands.

"Karan yeh sab...

"Shh.. Naina, aayo mere saath He led her to the swimming pool and asked her to sit beside him with their legs dipped in water.

In a swift motion he uncovered the tray. "Taada! There was a glass of cold coffee and a chocolate brownie. It looked a little messy but seemed fine.

"Tumhara mood off tha na Naina, toh mne socha ki tumhari favourite cheeze banau. I am sorry shayd mai itna accha nhi karpaya kyuki mujhe banana nhi aata na yeh sab, mne recipie net se dekhi or har cheez sahi se daali bhi hai.. He rambled away trying to apologize for his inexperience. His ramblings were inaudible to Naina's ears as she was busy admiring how cute he looked while at it.

"..Or agr iska taste kch ajeeb lagge toh..

"Karan! She cut him short. "Mujhe khilayoge tbhi btayungi na kesa bana hai She said flashing a smile and for that moment Karan forgot to breathe. This, this is the breath taking smile he wants to see every time, everyday.

Happy at his little success of being able to make her smile, he spooned a piece of cake and offered her, closing in the distance between the spoon and her mouth, all the while gazing at her like she was the most beautiful thing in this world. He fed her the first bite, both of them seemingly lost in the depth of each other's eyes.

"Mmmh, lovely.

It was not the perfect piece of cake, but to her it was the best is in this world as it was made with so much love and care just for her. It was Karan's effort that mattered. His concern that touched her heart making her feel giddy and emotional at the same time. She took the spoon from him and fed him a piece too. This continued till the finished every bit. Karan offered her an earplug connected with his phone.

"Yeh mere best gaane hai He answered her questioning look and inserted one earplug in his ear while Naina did the same for herself. They sat there silently, stealing a look here and there, their feet dipped in water listening to Karan's recordings, sipping on their cold coffees. Her stress seemed to melt away and she was thankful to Karan for that. One thing that this beautiful night taught her was, that there may be numerous hurdles in her way but she will overcome them all with ease as long as Karan is with her.

"Thank you Karan She said with all sincerity looking into eyes.

"Apno ko thank you nhi bolte, Naina He smiled.
