Innocently Yours

The room was quiet, the fan above creaking slowly as Kartik sank onto the bed, his limbs aching from a long day at work. Just as his eyes were about to close, his phone buzzed on the side table.

He glanced at the screen.
"Naitik Sir ," he muttered and sat up quickly, swiping to answer.

"Hello, Kartik beta," says Naitik warmly.

"Hello sir, what happened? All well " asks Kartik, trying not to sound too tired.

"Actually, I called to ask you something important," says Naitik seriously.

"Sure, tell me Sir, whats important " asks Kartik.

"Can you teach Naira coding? Java, to be specific, Actually she is facing problems in programming" says Naitik.

Kartik blinked.
"Java? Me? How can I teach her Java , Her college teachers are better than me , hire a tutor for her " says Kartik.

"Kartik , I know that  you are good in computers and coding . And she really needs help. Will you teach her after her college hours? Its a request please " says Naitik

"I can... but I already get exhausted at work. It  will be so  difficult for me to manage, I get free from office after working from 9 to 5 and then I directly go home because I get tired " says Kartik truthfully.

"No problem, beta. She can come to your home. That way you dont have to go anywhere else " suggests Naitik 

"Okay...Then  send her to my home . I will teach her coding skills , I think then Starting from  today is fine," says Kartik.

"Great. Thank you so much Kartik , Now I will inform her too  and send her to your address," says Naitik

" Okay sir " says Kartik 

" Bye " says Naitik 

Kartik then cuts the call 

Kartik stared at the phone for a moment.

"I will be Teaching her coding? This is going to be... Boring ," he muttered.

Meanwhile, Naira's phone buzzed in her car as she drove home.

She tapped her Air Pods.

"I am driving home, Papa," says Naira, a bit distracted.

"Change your route. Go to the address I have messaged," says Naitik firmly.

"Why?" asks Naira

"You are going to Kartik's house. He is going to teach you Java coding." tells Naitik 

"Why will he teach at his house " says Naira, shocked.

"If you want his help in learning something then you should take the pains of going to his house " says Naitik 

Naira cuts the call

Naira opened the message and sighed.

"Great. Now I have to go to his useless home everyday " she mumbled while turning her car.

After some times she stops her car 

The apartment building was tiny, with cracked walls and no lift. 

Naira walked up the stairs with  her heels clicking loudly.

She rang the bell on the second floor.

Kartik opened it
