Third-person POV:
Unknown place.
In the middle of a forest, stood a house that resembled a typical farmhouse. If someone sees that house from the outside, they will think it's normal and that there is nothing dangerous in it.
But the reality is different because inside that small, normal-looking farmhouse, there were very dangerous people staying. They were not inside the farm but inside the ground.
Suddenly, a car came there along with so many black cars. One of the bodyguards came and opened the door of that car, and a lady stepped outside the car.
She went inside the farmhouse and then looked around. Then she went in front of the bookshelf and twisted a book from the shelf; with this, the bookshelf moved aside, and there was a door behind it.
"Verify yourself," the automatic robot of the door said, and with that, a box-like thing came outside from beside the door.
That computer device first scanned her eyes. Then scanned her whole body to find anything dangerous. Then that woman put her hand on the scanner.
All this process took almost ten minutes.
"The verification is complete," the automatic robot said, and with this, the door opened.
When that last one came inside and was about to shout, she saw a man who was busy fucking a girl on the bed.
She rolled her eyes and went to the bar counter and made a drink for herself. That women don't have any emotions like hurt or anything. Rather than stopping him, she sat there and started using her phone like it's a normal thing for her.
The whole room was filled with that girl's screams of pleading, but as if the monsters were not ready to show any mercy on her. Her condition was like she was just a step away from dying.
Her lips were dry, and there were marks of fingers on her cheeks. With her closed eyes, she was looking at him. The monster.
"Ughh... Why are you so tight... *" Lose it, slap, slap, lose yourself,* you bitch*,"* that man said while slapping that half-dead girl with his full strength.
"Fuck it." The man cursed when he saw her faint body on the bed. He took his phone and called someone.
"Send someone to take this girl." Saying this, he cut the call.
The person on the other side sighs and looks at the female employee.
"It's her 10th time fainting like this. I'm feeling so bad for her; she was just a flower-selling girl. But the monster caught her eye, and now she is in hell. May God protect her." That woman said and went outside.
The door of the room opened, and that woman came inside. She bowed at him and that woman who was still busy on her phone.
"Take her and make sure that she doesn't faint again; otherwise next I will have you," he said while lighting his cigarette.
That woman's face lost color, and she immediately bowed at him. Then, with some difficulty, she took the girl with her.
"Why are you not doing anything?" A lady asked as soon as the door of the room closed.
"What do you think about what I'm doing?" he said and stood in front of her.
"For now I can see you are busy fucking a 17 year old girl brutally" She smirk and said.
That man also smirked and took a puff of the cigarette.
He bent and took that woman's hair in his fist roughly.
"Are you forgetting your place??... That you dare to question me, Raymond Williams? Hmm." Saying this, he probably threw her on the chair.
Yes, he was none other than Jack's father, Raymond Williams, and that woman was his mother.
His mother's eyes, which were sharp and fearless before, were now covered in fear. His grip was so tight, it was hurting her.
But she didn't dare to say anything.
Suddenly he left her hair, making her almost fall on the floor.
She looked at him, who was looking at his gun with a smirk.
"What are you going to do?" She asked him.
"You will see yourself." He just said this and went outside of the room.
"I just hope you are not going to leave him alive now because now he is not that jack who used to bear every pain you used to give him. Now he is going to answer back, which will not be a good thing for us," she said and started drinking the wine.
On the other hand
Naina was sitting behind Jack. While looking around, that's when she saw an elderly couple. The old man was driving, and the lady was sitting behind him. All the time they were talking, or, as we say, she was talking and he was listening.
Looking at them, a smile came to her face. She then looks at herself and then at Jack. That's when that Activa came in front of her, and that old lady looked at her.
Naina looked at her when she made a sign at her.
First, she pointed at Naina, then at Jack, and then she did this 👌👌.
A smile came on Naina's face when she realised that the grandma was complimenting her and Jack. That they both are looking so good together.
Naina looks at Jack, then at herself. She realises then that both of them are looking like a married couple. She was wearing a saree, and he was wearing a kurta. He was driving a bike, and she was sitting behind him.
Anyone will think that they are a couple.
Then she looked at that lady again and bent her head down lightly, like she was thanking her for the compliment. Then Naina did the same action to that old couple.
Understanding what Naina was saying, Grandma blushed and hid her face in her husband's back.
Naina smiled at looking at this. This means even in this age she didn't lose that small teenager who blushed at every single thing.
"Why are you smiling?" She was looking at that couple who was going to the other side road. When she heard Jack's voice.
"Nothing, I just received a compliment." As she said this, she felt Jack stop the bike suddenly.
"What happened?? She asked him.
But Jack turned his head to her and said.
"Who dared to compliment you? Tell me." Saying this, he started looking around to find a guy who dared to compliment his amore.
Seeing this, Naina just shook her head.
"It was a lady." She said this to calm him, but what he said next made her feel like smashing his head.
"I understand that you are beautiful, and it doesn't surprise me that a woman complimented you," he said with the same jealousy.
Naina took a deep breath and turned his head to herself.
"She was complimenting us," she said and left his head.
"What did she compliment, and why didn't I hear it? Don't lie, Amore, to save her now. Tell me where she is standing." He started looking around.
"She said that we both look good together," Naina said.
"Who are we?? She and you? " He asked her.
"Hey Mahadev, kya karo me is gadhe ka?" Saying this, she slapped her forehead.
"By we, she means you and me, not she and me. Also, why will I smile when a lady says this to me?" she said in irritation.
Jack looks at her for some seconds, then as if he understands what she is saying. Suddenly a smile came on his face.
"Ohh, I thought...never mind. Even she or anyone didn't have to say it. I know we both look so good—not good, but a match made in heaven." He said and started the bike.
She looks at him... But then a thought came into her mind.
In the future, if they have kids, then they will look beautiful and handsome, too. As she is beautiful and he is handsome, there is no doubt that their kids will look gorgeous.
But this thought came to her mind. A sad smile came on her lips. She doesn't know if he is lying or not. But she was just hoping that he was lying.
She was in thoughts when they reached that building. She gets down from the bike and looks around.
The whole area was so beautiful and peaceful.
"You stay here; I will come after parking this." Saying this, Jack went to park the bike.
She was looking around when she saw her parents were already walking in the garden hand in hand.
They had a smile on their face, which Naina had wanted to see for a long time.
"Let's go." She heard Jack saying this. She nodded at him and then called her parents.
"Maa, Papa, chalo jaldi, muhrat nikal jaayega," she said while pointing at the time.
(Mom, Dad, let's go quickly, the time will pass.)
Her parents smiled and came there.
Naina first shows them how the security system works there and also the benefit they are getting here. Then she introduced them to the staff of the building.
"So maa ye hai jaha hamara ghar hai." Saying this, she points at the building, which has 30+ floors.
(So, Mom, this is where our home is)
"Baapre, itni badhi building... Mujhe to dekh ke hi chakkar aa rahe hain," her mother said and held her head.
(Oh my god, such a huge building... I'm getting dizzy just looking at it.)
"Chale??" Naina asked them, and they nodded.
(let's go)
"Maa, Papa, ye dekho." Saying this, she points at the chart of the owner of the floor.
(Mom, Dad, look at this)
On the 706, there was a name written.
**Mr. Suresh Joshi & Mrs. Kavita Joshi**
When her parents saw this. Their eyes immediately became glossy with tears.
They look at their daughter.
Her father came to her and patted her head in pride. Then side hug her.
Her mother was frozen in her place, looking at her name with her husband. In her whole life no one cares to thank her for the success. Everyone forgets that both of them had equal struggle, hard work, tears, and sleepless nights for what they are today. It's not like she felt sad or something. Rather than that, she was feeling proud of her husband.
Everyone used to congratulate him but not her. Today seeing her name with her husband made her feel like that silent wish of hers was completed. Because of her daughter, the one who came into their life like a shine.
She went to her daughter and held her face in her palm. Then she kissed her forehead.
That's when they heard a voice of clicking. They looked that side and saw Jack standing there with his phone.
"It's a rare moment," Jack said, making them laugh.
Then all of them moved to the lift. Naina explains to them how this lift works.
"Tantaran," Naina says, showing them the house from outside. Her parents look at the template.
T
(I tried to make the nameplate from Canva, hehe...just imagine however you want.)
Her mother was looking at the nameplate when her eyes widened.
"Aaho, ye nameplate dhyaan se dekhiye," she said to her husband. Hearing her, when her father looks at the nameplate, his eyes also widen.
(Look at this nameplate carefully.)
"Ye...ye tho hamari," her father whispers.
(This...This is our)
"Janamdin ki date hai," her mother completed.
(Birthday date)
"Haan, kyuki har baar aap dono apna birthday bhul jaate ho, isliye mene ye name ka flat liya hai." 7tharik ko papa ka birthday in the June month and 6tharik ko maa ka birthday in the July month," Naina said and clapped.
(Yes, because every time you both forget your birthdays, that's why I have taken a flat with this name. The 7th day is Papa's birthday in June, and the 6th day is Maa's birthday in July." Naina said and clapped.)
Her parents again look at her.
"Chalu, abhi pooja bhi karni hai ghar ki." Saying this, she passed her mother the thali, and her mother drew the Ganesh on the door. Then she did the pooja of the house from outside the house.
(Come on, I still have to do puja at home.)
Then her mother and she printed their handprints on the wall.
Then Naina opened the door.
When her parents came inside, they had an expression of surprise.
(I selected these house pictures keeping in mind that Naina is not rich yet; she is still middle class but upper middle class. That's why I couldn't select so many shiny aesthetic pictures. I want you all to see her house as yours. When middle-class people buy a house, the best thing that matters for them is the house; the other things don't matter to them. Bas ek apna ghar ho, itna hi kaafi hota hai; baaki tho hum dheere dheere bana lenge. It took me two days to choose these pictures, so please don't ignore them.
a
"Maa, ye dekho, tum kehti thi na ki kab hum ek saath bethke khana khaayege. Ab chinta mat karo, ab hum roz saath me bethkar khana khaayege." Saying this, Naina shows them the dining table. Which was neither big but not even small.
(Mom, look, you used to say when we would sit together and eat. Now don't worry; now we will sit together and eat every day.
r
Her mother touched the table, like she was trying to feel if she was dreaming or if it was reality.
Her father was standing on the balcony while looking around. That's when he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Kavita, wo dekho, yaha se tho hamara pehle wala ghar dikhta hai." Saying this, he points at the place.
(Kavita, look there, our previous house is visible from here.)
Kavita Ji hugged him from the side and looked at where he was pointing.
"Maa, Papa, chaliye, sabse pehle hum aapko aapka kamra dikhate hai."
("Mom, Dad, come, first let us show you your room.")
They were looking around when they heard the voice of their daughter. They nod and follow behind her.
g
"Maa, dekho, ye mene specially aapke liye banaya hai taaki aap aaram se yaha bethkar silai ya kuch bhi chota mota kaam kar saku. Yaha se dhup bohot achi aati hai."" Saying this, she showed her.
("Maa, look, I have made this specially for you so that you can sit here comfortably and do sewing or any other small or big work. The sunshine is very good from here.
"Aur papa, ab aap maa se baate karte karte mast akhbar bhi padh sakte ho." Saying this, she took him to the balcony.
(And Dad, now you can read the newspaper while chatting with Mom.)
"Aur haa, aap dono kabhi kabhi yaha pe date ya sham ki chai pi sakte ho," he whispered in her father's ear and received a slap from her mother, who was standing behind her.
(And yes, you both can sometimes go on a date or have evening tea here.)
"Chup kar, kuch bhi bolti hai. Ab kya hamari umar hai ye sab karne ki?" her mother said while blushing.
Keep quiet; don't say anything. Are we old enough to do all this now?
"Arey, Umar ka kya hai? Agar dil jawan ho, tho ye kya hai? "Me tumhare liye parwat bhi chad jaau," her father said and winked at her mother. Making her mother's red face redder.
(Hey, what does age matter? If the heart is young, then what is this? I can even climb a mountain for you.
"Aap bhi na." She just said this and went inside. Naina followed her behind and went to the kitchen.
She showed her whole kitchen, then they went to Naina's room.
e
"Waa apne kamre me jyada saaman nhi rakhai hu abhi tak... and itna acha sab hai tho aisa hi rahega na saaf safai rakhugi na ki wo bhi hum kare??" her mother said while looking at the room.
Hearing her words, Naina rolled her eyes but didn't say anything.
(You haven't kept much stuff in my room yet... and if everything is so good, then it will remain like this, right? I will keep it clean, or will I do that too?)
'Hey, Parmeshwara, iska darwaza kaha hai? ' Her mother almost shouted, looking at the door of the bathroom.
(O God, where is its door)
"Maa, ye style hai aur ye door hai na?" Naina showed her the main door.
"Arey, par aise bina darwaza acha lagta hai kya?" Her mother said,
(Hey, but does it look good without a door like this?)
"Abhi mere bathroom me aakar kon dekh rha hai, maa?" Naina tried to explain, but her mother was looking at her like she was some kind of alien.
(Who will come and look into my bathroom, Mom?)
On the other hand, Jack and her father were looking at the guest room, which is probably his. 
t
He was looking around the whole house, which is smaller than his room. He was feeling a peace and pride in his chest. All this is done by his Amore; she finally completed her dreams, and he was happy that he was part of her dreams. For him, this whole house is bigger than anything in the world. He looked outside when he heard her father speaking.
"When my daughter was born, everyone was showing pity on me, saying the first child should be a son and blah blah. If I am honest here, when I first heard that, I also felt like having a son. My mother was never supportive of her; she even refused to hold my daughter. I was feeling anger, shame, and whatnot, but ...but the moment I held my daughter in my hands, it felt like I got my world. First time in my life I cried; I cried and apologised to my daughter for how, because of others, I was about to call her a mistake.
"The next morning, no one came to welcome her, and no one was ready to do her puja. They were trying to show me how unlucky I am, but I didn't care about them. I went to everyone's house and distributed sweets to everyone proudly. I left my house and cut out all relations with them. The journey was not easy. I was not educated enough; it was my wife who was always there for me. Slowly, slowly, from the streets we came to the rented house. I was happy with my small family; I never regretted that decision." He said while looking at the view.
"Do you know why I keep her name, Naina?" He asked, on which Jack shook his head in no.
"Naina means showing the world with their own eyes. For me, when she came, I started to see the world in a different way; I got to know the real faces of my own people. The one who used to claim that they would stand with me stood against me. After her I saw what life I'm living. If I had not taken that step that day, then maybe we would not have reached here. Today she proved that she is Naina of my life. "I don't know what good things I did to get her as my daughter," he said, and a tear rolled down from his eye.
That's when he felt arms around him from behind.
"Papa ye mat kahiye, ye kahiye ki mene aise kya karm kiye jo aap mujhe papa ke roop me mile," Naina said from behind.
Suddenly she started singing.
(Play this song to feel the song.)

:
"*Ye Tera Ghar, Ye Mera Ghar, Kisi Ko Dekhna Ho Gar, To Pehle Aake Maang Le, Meri Nazar, Teri Nazar*."
She held her father's hand and her mother's hand and then took them into the living room.
"*Ye Tera Ghar, Ye Mera Ghar. Kisi Ko Dekhna Ho Gar, To Pehle Aake Maang Le Meri Nazar, Teri Naza*r."
Her mother held Jack and also pulled him with them.
"*Ye Tera Ghar Ye Mera Ghar"*
*"Ye Ghar Bahut Haseen Hai"*
*"Ye Ghar Bahut Haseen Hai"*
*"Ye Ghar Bahut Haseen Hai."*
Naina left their hands, then opened their hands wide while twirling.
All of them went to their small mandir, and her mother lit the diya of the mandir. They did a small puja of the house. Her mother was showing Aarti to all of them, and then went to the balcony and again looked at their old house.
That's when Suresh Ji sings from behind.
"Na Baadlon Ke Chhaon Mein Na Chandni Ke Gaaon Mein, Na Phool Jaise Raaste Bane Hain Iske Vaaste"
Kavita Ji turned and looked at Suresh Ji, then sang with a smile.
"Magar Ye Ghar Ajeeb Hai, Zameen Ke Kareeb Hai.
Suresh Ji hugged her from the side, and then they sang together again.
"*Ye Eent-Pattharon Ka Ghar Hamaari Hasraton Ka Ghar"*
*"Ye Tera Ghar Ye Mera Ghar"*
*"Ye Ghar Bahut Haseen Hai"*
*"Ye Ghar Bahut Haseen Hai"*
*"Ye Ghar Bahut Haseen Hai."*
Both of them started to remember that moment when they didn't even have money to buy food. How they used to sleep on empty food. How they used to sleep on the cold floors in winter. The problems they used to face in the rainy season.
Remembering all those tears came into their eyes.
"*Jo Chaandni Nahin To Kya Ye Roshni Hai Pyaar Ki"*
*"Dilon Ke Phool Khil Gaye"*
*"To Fikr Kya Bahaar Ki"*
Her mother sang and then went to Naina to take out the evil eye from her head.
Suresh Ji came then and hugged his wife and daughter, then sang.
"Hamaare Ghar Na Aayegi Kabhi Khushi Udhaar Ki Hamaari Raahaton Ka Ghar"
"*Hamaari Chaahaton Ka Ghar Ye Tera"*
*"Ye Tera Ghar Ye Mera Ghar"*
*"Ye Ghar Bahut Haseen Hai"*
*"Ye Ghar Bahut Haseen Hai"*
*"Ye Ghar Bahut Haseen Hai."*
*All of them sing this.*
Suresh ji and Kavita ji went to their room and saw Naina's childhood pictures. They didn't have a single picture of them together in their whole life, but they didn't forget to collect memories of their daughter.
Suresh ji sings.
"Yahan Mahak Wafaaon Ki Mohabbaton Ka Rang Hai"
Then he turned Kavita Ji toward himself and continued.
"Ye Ghar Tumhara Khwaab Hai, Ye Ghar Meri Umang Hai."
While singing this, he hugged her tightly when she sang.
"Na Aarzoo Pe Qaid Hai Na Hausle Pe Jung Hai"
Then both of them open their hands and sing with tears in their eyes.
*"Hamaare Hauslon Ka Ghar Hamaari Himmaton Ka Ghar"*
Then they hold both of their hands and look at each other and sing while pointing at each other.
*"Ye Tera Ghar, Ye Mera Ghar, Kisi Ko Dekhna Ho Gar, To Pehle Aake Maang Le, Meri Nazar, Teri Nazar."*
*"Ye Tera Ghar, Ye Mera Ghar"*
*"Ye Ghar Bahut Haseen Hai"*
*"Ye Ghar Bahut Haseen Hai"*
*"Ye Ghar Bahut Haseen Hai."*

Her success feels so special, so personal. The dream of every daughter... Yeah, mine too.
So tell me, was I able to show all the emotions properly?
Do you feel proud of her?
Did you feel emotional while reading this?
Did you read something like this before, where the journey of the female lead is completed like this?? Let me know.
Did you cry while reading this chapter? Please tell me.
Also, did you like her house? It took me 2 days to select these pictures. As I wanted you all to imagine her house as yours. With the touch of middle class but still classy.
