Part 6
It was 7 pm and Kunal decided to go to speak to NK. He knocked in the door and NK opened it with a surprised look on his face.
Kunal: Can I come in Dad?
NK: Sure , come in.
They took a seat on the bed.
NK: What brings you here?
Kunal: Meghna.
NK: I see.
Kunal: Dad , Meghna made me realise how important you are to me , she doesn't have her Dad but she never let it make her feel or become weak. You taught me a lot and I'm grateful for it.
NK: Kunal , I'm sorry for the things I did, I just never knew you wanted to marry Meghna for who she was, you mentioned the business idea and that stuck in my head.
Kunal: I love Meghna, always have and always will.
NK: I'm glad and happy for both of you.
Kunal: I'm sorry for misbehaving.
NK: No son , you had every right to.
They got up and hugged. Dadaji was at the door along with Meghna.
Dadaji: I'm of proud of you Meghna betaa!
Meghna hugged her Dadu and smiled widely at her father and husband hugging.
Kunal came out and saw Dadaji and Meghna. NK called Meghna and she went inside.
Meghna: Ji Papa?
NK: Thank you for bringing my son back to me and sorry for all the wrong things I've done , I'm lucky to have you as a daughter-in-law.
Meghna smiled and took NK's blessing.
Meghna: Papa , never say thank you or sorry for anything ever again.
NK smiled and hugged Meghna.
Kunal and Dadaji watched and soon joined the hug. They all went downstairs and started chatting and laughing. Naina and Meghna were in the kitchen preparing dinner.
Naina: Di , you're this houses lucky charm!
Meghna giggled: How?
Naina: First you got the impossible Karan get back to his normal self and then patched things up between Uncle and Jeeju.
Meghna: That's my duty Naina, Maa taught us to have self respect as well as respect other, this house isn't another house but my second family who are my responsibility and I vow to make sure no harm comes anyone in anyway.
Naina: I'm so happy for you Di!
Meghna: Thank you Chiku!
Kunal walked: Naina , could I talk to Meghna for a second?
Naina: She's all yours.
Naina winked at the couple and left.
Kunal walked to Meghna: Thank you Meghna.
Meghna: Kunal...
Kunal: No , I say it time and time again but I have to because you're the best thing that happened to me , I'm blessed to have you in my life.
Meghnal smiled.
Kunal: You've made me realise so many things, before I met you I was so stupid.
Meghna: Was stupid?
Kunal grinned: Haha!
Meghna held Kunals hands: I'm your wife , your better half and I'll do whatever I can to make your life better.
They hugged.
*CoughCough*
The couple broke apart and saw Dadaji standing.
Kunal: Oh it's only Dadu!
Kunal side hugged Meghna.
Meghnna: Kunal...
Kunal looked at Meghna and smirked.
Dadaji: What do you mean only Dadu'? No shame?
Kunal: Dadu , you're a cool Dadu , also what's the shame in hugging your wife?
Dadaji: True , but how's dinner getting along?
Meghna: Dadu it's okay but your grandson got rid of my helper.
Kunal: Well , I can be your helper.
Meghna: Please, I'll probably turn my head away from the stove and you'll end up burning something.
Kunal: Mrs Meghna Solanki Kunal Singh Chauhan , I'm quite the chef.
Meghna: I'll believe it when I see it.
Dadaji: Wah! Today's food will be made by our very own power couple!
Dadaji left the kitchen and let Kunal and Meghna continue with preparing dinner. Dinner was served at 8pm and the food was delicious , everyone loved it. After dinner Dadaji headed to his room where Meghna gave him his tea and he turned in for an early night. Everyone else wanted to watch a film, Naina chose an oldy but a goody ; Mujhse Dosti Karoge.
Naina: It's been forever since I watched this!
Sandhya: Same, a film with meaning and amazing songs.
Karan: Well , you guys enjoy.
Nirmala: Karan?
Meghna: Papa , why don't you tell Karan stay?
Karan looked at his Dad.
NK: Karan, sit with us nah? It'll be fun.
Karan gave a little smile and everyone was happy that he decided to sit an watch the film, Kunal and NK bought snacks. Kunal, Meghna and Naina sat on the floor while the rest sat on the sofa. It was 1 am and the film finished everyone headed to their rooms.
Naina was in the guestroom getting ready for bed , Meghna walks in.
Naina: Di? Why are you here?
Meghna: Won't be afraid?
Naina: Offo Di! Jeeju couldn't sleep without you and dad I feel bad for that! So good back to your room.
Meghna crossed her arms: You didn't answer my question.
Naina: I won't be scared Di.
Meghna: Chiku, are you sure?
Naina: I am, now go.
Meghna let Naina get into bed then tuned the light off and headed to her room.
Kunal: Missing me already?
Meghna: Very funny, Chiku didn't want me to stay with her cause she didn't want you to sleep alone.
Kunal smiled: Naina's a sweet girl.
Meghna got in bed and sat up. Kunal put his head on Meghnas lap and Meghna stroked his hair.
Kunal: What's wrong?
Meghna was too deep into her thoughts.
Kunal clicked his fingers.
Meghna: Sorry?
Kunal: What's wrong? You seem distracted.
Meghna: I'm just thinking about Karan.
Kunal: What about him?
Meghna: How he never speaks to Papa. Just listens or ignores him.
Kunal: They've always been like that.
Meghna: Why?
Kunal got up and faced away from Meghna.
Meghna: Kunal , what are you hiding?
Kunal looked straight into Meghnas eyes: It's not what hiding, it's what everyone else is hiding away from me.
Meghna: What do you mean?
Kunal held both of Meghnas hands: I don't know why and how Karan became who he is.
Meghna: Wasn't he always like that? The OCD?
Kunal shook his head No': I remember when him and I would play in the mud all day and how we'd run around in the sun then go into the swimming pool , then one day he left to go to and Ashram.
Meghna: Ashram?
Kunal: I don't know what for but he was gone for a while and came back differently.
Meghna: Don't worry Kunal, we'll find out soon.
They both went to sleep in a hugging position.
Naina woke up at 3 am and looked at the bedside table for a glass of water. She saw an empty jug so she got up and went to the kitchen and filled up the jug. As she was leaving she bumped into Karan. Naina as slipping and instead letting her fall this time Karan held onto her back and lifted her up straight and he took the jug so it didn't fall.
Karan: Are you okay?
Naina: Yeah , thank you.
Karan gave her the jug and then headed to the fridge.
Naina: Hungry?
Karan. Peckish.
Naina placed the jug on the kitchen top.
Naina: After all those snacks?
Karan: Yes, I have a high metabolism.
Naina: Oh , we all learn something everyday.
Karan took out a cheesecake and places it on the kitchen top.
Karan: Wanna share?
Naina smiled: Sure.
Karan grabbed two forks and passed one to Naina and they dug in.
Naina: This is delicious.
Karan: Bhabi made it.
Naina: I knew it tasted similar!
Karan: Keep it down , everyone else is sleeping.
Naina whispered: Sorry.
After talking for a few minutes. Karan put the cheesecake away and was heading out just when Naina stopped him.
Naina: Karan.
Karan turned around and saw Nainas hand out.
Naina: Mujhse Dosti Karoge?
Karan wrapped his hand around with his T-shirt sleeve and shook Nainas hand.
Karan: You should watch less films.
Naina smiled and Karan grinned. They went upstairs together and headed to their respective bedrooms.
