FF:Meant To Be? Updated Ch 2&3

"If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, its yours forever. If it doesn’t, then it was never meant to be."
-

Naira , beloved wife of Karthik Goenka, assumed to be dead , returned back home 5 years later with their son, only to see him moving on in life with someone else.

So, should she let go of her love and waive her rights as his legal wife , helping him to move on

or stay back to fight for them?

To see if they were meant to be?

-

Vedika Sharma fell in love with Karthik Goenka, knowing well that his heart always belonged to his dead wife and was pressurised into marrying her, yet she went forward with this loveless Marriage arrangement, in hope of taking place of his dead wife in his heart as she did on papers as Mrs Goenka.

But faith played a cruel joke.

His 'dead' wife returned with a small kid and all her hopes shattered.

Karthik even seemed to forget her existence altogether.

So, should just let go of this loveless relationship and give her love his ultimate happiness?

Or stay back and give their relationship another chance?

To see if they were meant to be?

The Phone Call

Karthik 's Pov

*Karthik 's dialogue in B&U*
*Naira's Dialogue in I&U*

"Karthik" I heard my Naira's voice as I picked up the call.

The voice I missed hearing since last 5 years.

My jaan is alive?

I knew it.

She won't leave me alone.

But where was she?

Upset with me for that stupid disgusting allegation I made that night?

"Naira? You're alive? Why didn't you come back?" I whispered afraid that person on other hand will cut the call or vanish. It was too good to be true.

"Karthik! Karthik I came back but..."

It was my Naira. Yes,It was her.

But,She was hurt. I could feel her crying.

Who hurt her?

"But what naira?"

What stopped my Naira from coming back to me?

"Leave it Karthik, we'll talk later, Rn Please come fast. I need you here. Please."

"Naira, Naira where are you? Tell me I'll be there in a second"

Though I had countless questions,, I put them to rest for time being.

Right now nothing else mattered other than her & her safety.

I could get answers to my questions later.

"I'm in XY hospital. Please come fast . Please Karthik"

She was almost on verge of an emotional breakdown. I could feel it.

"Hospital? Are you ok Naira?"

I panicked just visualizing her getting hurt again.

"I'm ok. But Please come fast Karthik. We don't have time. Pls."

We? What does that mean? We don't have time for what? Anyway I didn't bombard her with my questions as I could feel her desperation, She didn't want to answer my questions over phone. Whatever it was, it was quite serious and urgent.

"Ok. Please wait for me. Don't disappear. Please. I will be there in 2 mins. Just wait for me ok? Keep the call on"

I spoke hurriedly. Dashing through crowd of guests that had come for my wedding. I didn't cut the call in fear of losing her again.

Ignoring those guests, family members and shocked Vedika, I threw my sherwani jacket and turban somewhere and rushed towards the car .

I have to reach XY hospital immediately.

Noone can stop me right now.

Naira is &, was always my top priority. Everything else could wait.

▪️Vedika 's Pov▪️

Karthik dashed through the swarm of guests, amidst our marriage function throwing his sherwani jacket and turban carelessly on the way.

He didn't even stop at dadi's command and left before we could even commence with rituals.

We were sitting in Mandap , rituals almost coming to an end yet my groom not only picked up a call but also left the ritual in between without a care.

I feel so lost & humiliated right now.

Though I always knew Karthik was pressurised into this marriage. And was not one bit happy to replace Naira as Mrs Karthik Goenka.

I was happy believing that time would change everything, once I enter his life as Mrs Karthik Goenka in place of Naira, I will gain her share of love too.

He was aloof but not indifferent and disrespectful like this.

He didn't even showcase an ounce of excitement and energy he has shown in these few minutes , for any of our marriage rituals.

The only time I ever saw him smiling was when he spend a lone time with Naira's pictures reminiscing their good old days, murmuring something about frogs and lionesses.

But why such sudden enthusiasm now?

Did something happen?

It could not be Work related problem, given that level of excitement and happiness.

But what else was it? Important than his own marriage.

I could feel my right eye twitching.

Was something bad going to happen?

Why our married life started on such bad note?

Is this some kind of premonition?

|2 Falling In Love

Naira

I know he's getting married, moving on in his life, and at this time calling him here would be so wrong.

But I can't help it . Not when my Child is in life and death situation.

If as mother I have to be selfish I will be.

My son is in OT , and he needs his father. And for my Kairav, I will face him.

I will face my past from which I have been running away since past 5 years.

Though I always knew keeping Kairav and Karthik away is very big blunder, I always hesitated contacting him, because of his hurtful words.

But How much ever one tries to escape from their past , circumstances compel them to face it.

I don't know how he'll react when he knows about our baby's existence

Maybe he'll hate me for keeping him in dark all these years, but I'm ready to take all his insults and hate because right now it's not about us but our child.

****************************

Karthik

I ran and hugged her tightly as soon as I saw her in waiting room. She looked as beautiful as before if not better.

K: Naira , I knew you would come back to me , I knew my Naira would come back to me...

I kept repeating myself , relieved to have her again in my arms. I had probably gone insane with happiness .

"Karthik" she distances herself from me, she looked at my sherwani and I could see she was hurt. Crap!

K: Naira this...

I struggled to form coherent words... How would I explain this to her.

"I have something important to tell you."

That was it. Curt to the point. No miss you , love you nothing. Didn't even let me complete .

I don't know why was she behaving so coldly today.

Neither was she showing any signs of happiness at our reunion nor was she answering my questions.

K: "What's wrong?"

N: " Karthik, I want you to patiently listen to what I'm saying ,I know you'll have alot to say but let just get over it.
That day when you Questioned me..."

K: Naira....

I cut her in there, I didn't even wish to remember that night

N: "I was 3 weeks pregnant."

K: "What?"

I stumbled hearing revelation, it was too much handle altogether , first naira was back and alive after being MIA for last 5 years and now she's telling me she was pregnant. Wth!!!

N: "Yes, I was pregnant, I came to tell you but... Let it be... Now the reason I have contacted you after so much time is because my child needs you. He's suffering from heart disease Nd is supposed to go through a major surgery today.

I want you to help me, We are not getting blood donors neither is it available in blood bank , you're now my only hope. Please! Your blood group matches with his. Pls donate your blood. Please! We don't much time . Please!"

She finished shedding tears. Folding her hands in request.

I was literally at loss of words. She broke such an important news just like that.

Should I be happy, sad or angry rn ?

I have a child?

Everything felt so surreal rn.

"Kairav 's parents? Did you find the donor. He's ready for operation, we can't delay it further" A nurse approached us

Kairav, so he is a boy.

"Yes. He's kairav's father. He'll donate the blood." I heard naira answering .

Father? I am a father? I'm still unable to grasp the fact.

I was still in trance when Nurse obtained my blood and left to summon doctors.

Naira helped to operation theatre's waiting room afterwards, and then I saw a lil boy from the mirror.

That was kairav, my son

Son , who I didn't even knew existed couple of minutes ago

Seeing him lying so lifelessly there, with numerous needles attached to his petite form,it hurt, it hurt so badly

All confusion and anger towards Naira, Relatives back home, the bride I left unattended, Everything was forgotten the moment I saw him

Right now I was just relishing this beautiful feeling, feeling of falling in love.

I fell in love with my son the moment I laid my eyes on him

There's no way I'll leave him even for a second after this.

Kairav, what a beautiful name.

3| Why?

Groom's sudden disappearance had caused havoc in Goenka Villa,

Vedika was dumbstruck, sitting there feeling miserable under the sneers and pity of others,

Everyone was at a loss, noone knew where Karthik was,

He wasn't even picking up his phone,

Guests left soon ,

After hours of search , Manish found out Karthik's whereabouts,

and Goenkas set out to get Karthik back , with Singhanias following them to get justice for their daughter.

Only to witness Karthik shouting at someone in the otherwise empty waiting room,

The person he was shouting at was Naira?

_________

Karthik : Why Naira? Why did you hide our kid from me? I had right to know about his Existence. I'm his father. Who are you to snatch my right as a father? I lost 5 precious years of my life because of YOU. How dare you ? What kind of mother you are. Chee!"

He sneered, Violently shaking her shoulders in anger

Naira : How dare you Karthik! You questioned my loyalty as a wife and now you're questioning my worth as a mother too? How dare you !

She jerked his arms away angrily.

Karthik: Yo-.....

Naira : You want to why? fine I'll tell you..

She said cutting him in between.

Looking at him , Naira began recounting her past few years..

Naira: I know I committed a mistake by keeping father and Son away from each other, but it's not like I enjoyed doing it.

Right now nobody matters to me Except Kairav. He's sole reason for my existence. Do you think I feel happy whenever I see him yearning for father's love?

Do I feel happy lying to him about his father's whereabouts? No.

Do I feel that my child should grow up in an incomplete family ? No.

I know fathers are equally important as mothers for a child to have happy childhood And despite trying so hard to fulfill responsibilities of both all these years, I couldn't or could never replace you.

You know whenever I use to see fathers accompanying their children to medical checkups, taking them on outings, teaching them sports, taking part in school activities.. I realized how much my child is missing out.

And for him I even thought of coming back to you when he turned one....

Karthik- Then Why didn't you come?

Karthik had cooled down after listening to plight of his wife and son , eyes glistening with tears when he realised how much they had missed out these 5 years due to his stupid action that night.

Naira: because I was afraid.

I was afraid that a husband who could question his wife's loyalty and commitment even after so many years of love and companionship, even separations,

I was afraid that a man who could question his woman whom he married twice and claimed to love unconditionally, would probably not even flinch a bit , before questioning his son's identity too.

And that fear stopped me.

Every single time I missed you , or felt like reuniting Kairav with you.

That question stopped me.

Those awful words still haunt me Karthik.

Why? Why did you ask that question?

I knew Dadi was against the idea of working with Mihir. She had her own assumptions and apprehensions.

But I ignored her.

Because I thought , even if anyone stand against me , you would support me.

But...what did you do?

You broke that faith.

Your mistrust , broke my faith in our relationship.

I came into Goenka House because of you, despite the polar opposite orthodox beliefs of your family. I wholeheartedly accepted it for you,

So many times I forgave you guys, and let bygones be bygones.

You didn't trust me with Shubham's case and kicked me out , while I forgived Goenkas for my mother's death. Yet I reconciled with you with hope of better future.

That time you promised me that you'd trust me, but what did you do?

And she collapsed on floor crying , it was years of pent up frustration and anger. At last she said it.... It made her feel So good...

Karthik: Naira......

He was ashamed and tongue tied to speak anything , both of them oblivious to the fact that they had spectators, who were listening to there conversation with aghast expressions.

***

At Goenka House.

Why? Why ? Why? Vedika Shouted crazily destroying all flower decoration made on the bed. Their marital bed.

But apparently her husband vanished , leaving his bride alone on their wedding day.

Why?

Because his ex-wife called him.

She was back , after all these years, she returned exactly on her big day.

And this time she had a kid too.

All her hopes of getting Karthik's love were brutally shattered.

why? She questioned god. Why did you give me hope only to snatch it away cruelly.

Will Karthik reunite with Naira?

Then what'll happen to me?

(If you're wondering then let me tell you pallavi told her because others were to busy to bother abt her)

Beautiful updates...

Loved how naira gave back to kartik...

Oh how i wish this had happened than that wedding!! Great work dear😍

Naira giving back to kartik is the best it makes me sad to remember how much Naira adjusted in that house and how much she trusted kartik.. doesnt matter for what reason bit karthiks question was unacceptable.. it cant be justified😪
