"Naina tujhe to pata hai na, ye mehandi wala department mujhse nhi sambhalne wala" Preeti said making a yuck face.

"Theek hai, tujhe to Taiji hi dekhengi" Naina said and left with Swati.

"Badi aai Taiji ki dhamki dene wali" Preeti murmured.

"Papa, apko koi help chahiye" Preeti asked when Anand nenter inside.

"Nhi beta, tum jao neeche dekho sab mehendi k liye aa rahe hain" he said.

"Papa, mujhe nhi jana" she said.

"Preeti, O Bai, kaha gayab ho jati hai ye ladki" Taiji called her and Swati Naina smirk looking towards her.

"Are babare, ye inko kaha se pata chal jata hai" she muremured and left while Anand smile.

"Swatiii, hamne to kisi ko kuch v nhi kaha abhi tak" Naina said quite loudly so that Preeti can hear.

"Ji, pata hai apne kuch nhi kaha, Jijaji aate to itni boli nhi aati" Preeti said and Naina glared her.

"Kyu? Sahi hi to bol rahi hai wo" Swati said.

"Swati tu v?" Naina feel sad.

"Haiii, mai to sach me chahti hu aaj Jijaji aa jaye" preeti said.

"Ha Sachhi" Swati too said.

"Ahm Ahm, aap dono asli duniya me aa jaiye, yaha koi v nhi aa raha hai" Naina said and they make a sad face "Ab chale Pooja didi ki mehandi ki rasm shuru karni hai"

"Ha" they both said.

"O Bai Naina, jara idhar suno" Taiji called Naina.

"Aai Taiji" she replied "Tum dono mehandi leke chalo mai aati hu" Naina said and rushed towards Taiji.

"Preeti, Swati beta" Tauji came as soon as Naina left.

"Ji Tauji" they look towards him.

"Naina kaha gai?" he asked.

"Wo use Taiji ne bulaya hai" Swati replied.

"Achha Achha, theek hai, tum dono ek kaam karo jara Pooja k paas thoda baithne ka intezaam kar do aur kuch aur kursiya wagairah lagwa do" he said.

"Kyu Tauji, koi aa raha hai kya?" Preeti asked.

"Ha beta wo Varun k ghar se kuch log mehandi ka shagun leke aa rahe hain, to tum log jara intezaam dekh lo aur Naina ko v bol do, aur ha agar kisi cheej ki jarurat ho to mujhe batana" He said and left while they were smiling like idiot.

"Yaar Swati, Bhagwaan ji itni jaldi v koi baat sunte hain kya" Preeti said being surprised.

"Ha wahi to, pata rahta to aur v kuch maang lete" Swati said.

"Are wo sab chhod, chal pahle waha pe intezaam karte hain aur ha ham Naina ko nhi batayenge" Preeti said and Swati nodded.

"Arey Preeti Swati tum log aur kursiya kyu la rahe ho?" Bela Chachi asked.

"Wo Mummy, kuch log aa rahe hain isliye Tauji ne bola" she replied.

"Bhagwaan jhoot na bulaye, kaun aa raha hai, kuch to batao?" she asked.

"Arey Mummy Jijaji" Preeti said being excited.

"Bhagwan jhoot na bulaye kya bol rahi ho tum?" she become shocked and Swati pinched her.

"Aahh! Are mummy matlab Jijaji k ghar se kuch log mehandi leke aa rahe hain Pooja didi k liye" Preeti said.

"Kitna achha hai na, Pooja ko jitna filmy chahiye tha uski shadi utni hi filmy ho rahi hai" Bela said looking towards Pooja.

"Ha Mummy aur mujhe pata hai ye idea kiska hai" Preeti said.

"Kiska?" she asked.

"Arey Chachiji apne dekha nhi tha Haldi v Sameer ne karai itni achhi aur ab mehandi me v usi ne kiya hoga kuch" Swati said.

"Ha wo to hai, bada hi achha ladka hai" she said.

"HMM" they both hummed together.

"Achha, tumlog jao waha pe sab sahi karo, mai thodi aur dari aur chadare lagwati hu" Bela chachi said.

Preeti and Swati were making arrangements when Naina came and look towards them in confusion.

"Ye kya kar rahe ho tum log, mehandi lagane ko bola tha na maine" Naina said.

"Hame Tauji ne ye karne ko bola hai, Mehandi ki rasm thodi der baad shuru hogi" Preeti said.

"Kyu?" she asked.

"Hame kya pata ja Tauji se puch" Swati said.

"Theek hai, kyaaaa? Pagal ho tum dono khud nhi bata sakte" Naina said.

"Arey hame v nhi pata, chal madad kar jaldi, kuch log aane wale hain suna nhi tune" Preeti said suppressing her smile.

"Ha theek hai" she helped them and in no time they made a perfect arrangement setting few chairs around the mat and a little bit up position for Pooja so that her mehandi would be applied properly without any problem.

Naina was keeping flowers in plate when she feel something different, automatically a smile form on her lips and she feels Sameer's precence.

Kyaa yahi pyaar hai
Haan, yahi pyaar hai
Ho, dil tere bin kahin lagataa nahin
Vakt guzarataa nahin
Kyaa yahi pyaar hai
Ha ha, haan, yahi pyaar hai....

"Lo aa gaye wo log" Preeti said and Bela Chachi, Chachaji, Tauji, Taiji, Arjun, Rakesh everyone were present there for their welcome.

Sameer was coming alongwith his friends and girls, Naina turn around and was shocked to see Sameer there, he smiled and remove his glass throwing it backside which was catched by Munna.

Ho lete hain kisikaa jo
Naam unako hazaaron salaam
Kabhi rukate nahin kahin jhukate
Nahin chaahe kuch bhi ho anjaam...
Pyaar ki gali se
Guzarate hain shaan se,
Jite hain shaan se
Marte hain shaan se....
Pyaar karne wale pyaar
Karate hain shaan se,
Jeete hain shaan se
Marte hain shaan se....

"Hayye, Jijaji to bilkul hero lag rahe hain" Preeti Swati said.

"Ye yaha kya kar raha hai?" Naina tried to go but holded by Preeti.

"Naina, wo ladke walo k sath aaye hain, to thoda dimaag shant rakh apna" she said and Naina remember yes he was from groom's side.....

Varun's sister came and stood there holding a big thal covered by a beautiful covering.

"Namaste Auntyji" she said.

Sameer took their blessing and they smile.

"Khush raho beta" Tauji blessed him.

"Bua Dadi" Sameer said touching her feet.

"Waah mere Sher, aakhir jugaad laga hi liya tume" she said.

"Lagata kaise nhi, apka plan tha hi hit" Sameer smiled murmuring in her ears and she smile.

"Baalo ki dukaan, ye kya taamjhaam hai" Rakesh asked.

"Wo Sir,," Sameer tried to say when Munna Pandit start.

"Arey Sir ji, dekhiye apke liye, nhi nhi apke liye kyu aap kaun sa mehandi lagaoge, ham to apni Bhabhi k liye kuch leke aaye hain" Munna said looking towards Naina while Preeti Swati smile and Sameer look towards Naina who was glaring them and he smiled sweetly.

"Kya bakwas kar rahe ho Rahu Ketu" Rakesh asked.

"Rakesh, ye log ladke walo ki taraf se mehandi leke aaye hain" Tauji said.

"Arey iski kya jarurat thi aakhir" he said getting angry.

"Uncleji, mera ek hi bhai hai to ham uski shadi me sab kuch achha aur best karna chahte hain" Varun's sister said.

"Ha beta, jarur, aao aaplog. Naina Preeti Swati le jao sabko" Tauji said.

"Ji Tauji" Naina said in a dead voice while Preeti Swati were happy.

"Aaiye Jijai ji" Preeti and Swati said murmuring last word and Sameer smile.

"Thanku Saaliji" and move towards them.

"Pooja didi, dekhiye ham apke liye kay leke aaye hain" Sameer said.

"Arey Sameer tum" Pooja become happy "Tumne to meri haldi bilkul filmy bana di ab kya mehandi me kuch karna hai" she asked.

"Yes, kyunki hame pata hai apko films bahut pasand hai" he said and she smile nodding her head.

Sameer look towards Varun's sister and she placed the big thal in center.

"Sameer ye kya hai?" she asked.

"Khud dekh lijiye" he replied.

"Sahi ja rahe ho bhai, sasural walo ko pahle se hi flat kar raha hai" Pandit said.

"Waise PANDIT, bada sundar lag raha hai aaj tu" Munna said and Swati look towards them and he start looking towards Sameer.

Bela chachi smiled and nodded looking towards Pooja.

"Arey Pooja, dekh khol k tere sasural walo ne kya bheja hai, tere hi liye hai" Phulla Bua said.

"Ji Bua Dadi" Pooja said and open the cover.

"Arey ye to kitna sundar hai" Pooja said and everyone smile looking towards it.

Elders smile and left let them extending the program and they have to prepare for Tilak also.

"Woww, Pooja didi ye to bahut sundar hai" for a moment Naina forget everything and said holding Pooja.

Sameer smile looking towards her genuine smile and he also smiled after a long time a real smile for sure.

"Pooja, teri sasural wale to sach me teri mehandi filmy kar diye" one lady said.

"Hmm" she replied.

Bela smile looking towards the thaal in which mehandi was kept in a bowl surrounded by flowers and many canes kept sidewise beautifully and flower, red design and few decoration was making it amazing.

"Beta ye to bahut sundar hai" BELA said.

"Ha Chachiji" Naina said.

"Auntyji, ye to Sameer ka idea tha" Varun's sister said.

"Sameer, beta shukriya" she said kissing his forehead and he smile while Naina's smile stopped.

"Chaliye Pooja didi, shuru karte hain" Sameer said.

"Ha aur nhi to kya, itni mehnat kiye hain, hame v dekhna hai" Munna said sitting on a chair.

"Lekin beta tum Pooja didi kyu bol rahe ho, tum to ladke walo ki taraf se ho na?" One lady asked.

"Wo auntyji, actually ham sab ek hi school me padhte hain infact ek hi class me to pahle Pooja didi hi nikla tha muh se isliye Bhabhi wali feeling shayad na aaye" Sameer said and they smiled.

"Bholuram, tum sach me bade achhe ho" Taiji said and Naina look towards her being shocked.

Sameer look at Naina's recation and chuckle "Thanku Taiji" he said.

"Ab to Taiji ne v ha kar di Naina, tu v kar de" Swati said.

"Bakwaas mat kar mere samne" she glared her.

"Chaliye Bhabhi mehandi lagate hain" Varun's sister said coming towards Pooja.

"Ha chalo" they sit to apply mehandi.

Bela asked to apply beautiful mehandi to Pooja and girls who came from boys side.

Naina was applying mehandi to someone and Sameer was staring her thinking about what to do now.

Kal dil dukhaya tha meine tumhara,
Is baat ka aaj tak mujhko hai gam,
yeh sochkar maaf kar dena mujhko,
meri yeh pehli mohabbat hai janam, mohabbat hai janam,

Yehi aada to ek sitam hai
Suno tumhe meri kasam hai
Keh do ki tum ho meri warna,

Jina nahi mujhe hai marna....

"Lijiye Jijaji, apke liye" Preeti came with coldrink.

"Kya baat hai Saaliji, aap to jyada hi kahtirdari kar rahi hain" Sameer said.

"Wo kya hai na, aap itne achhe achhe kaam kar rahe ho mera to bas nhi chal raha hai warna mai to shadi hi kara deti aap dono ki" she said and Sameer smile.

"Ek ye hai aur ek Pandit, koi matlab hi nhi hai" Munna said looking towards Swati who was busy in applying mehandi on others hand with Naina.

"Yar ye Naina to dekh hi nhi rahi hai" Sameer said.

"Waise Jijaji mujhe mehandi ki mehak se v darr lagta hai lekin mai kya soch rahi hu aaj Naina k hath me apka naam likh du" Preeti said.

"Jaise ki Bhabhi likhwa legi" Pandit said.

"Are wo sab mujhpe chhod do" Preeti said.

"Koi fayda nhi hai Preeti, wo kabhi aisa nhi karne degi" Sameer said.

"Agar aisa hai to mai v uski behan hu dekhti hu kaise nhi lagane deti" Preeti said and Sameer smile as he knew she won't allow her.

Sameer get up and move towards Naina who was applying mehandi ignoring Sameer.

"Arey Aunty apki mehandi to bahut achhi lagi hai" Sameer said looking towards a lady and sit beside them, side of Naina.

Naina shifted slightly and Sameer smile, he kept his coldrink there and turn looking towards the mehandi and Shefali smile as she just met him when Bela Chachi introduced him to everyone and he knew about Shefali from Preeti and Swati.

He was saying something to draw in her hand and Shefali smile, Naina feels thirsty and look here and there, she look towards Preeti and saw her moving away with coldrink. She foun coldrink beside her and thought Preeti might have kept there for him, she didn't saw when Sameer kept his bottle there as he was sipping it just a while ago.

Naina hold the bottle and drink as she was really thirsty at that moment.

Sameer turn to get his bottle but it wasn't there, he look here and there found Naina drinking from the same bottle, an automatic smile form on his lips and Naina saw him staring her, she raised her brows up while drinking and Sameer nodded in nothing and turn away smiling.

chhodenge na ham tera saath o saathi marte dam tak
marte dam tak nahi agle janam tak,
agle janam nahi saat janam tak,
saat janam nahi janam janam tak
chhodenge na ham ...

"Sameer dekho na meri mehandi kaisi lag rahi hai" Varun's sister show her mehandi to him.

"Bhaut achhi hai" he said looking towards Naina's expressions from side of his eyes as it was necessary for his next plan.

"Badi aai mehandi dikhane wali" Naina murmured.

"Kya hua beta tumne kuch bola kya?" lady asked to whom Naina was applying mehandi.

"Nhi to" she replied and Sameer smile.

"Naina la mai tujhe mehandi laga du" Preeti came.

"Tu aur mehandi?" Naina asked.

"Ab bol rahi hu to de, warna baat mat karna" Preeti said.

"Lekin abhi sabko lagani hai mehandi" Naina said.

"Ha to Shefali aur Swati laga dengi" Sameer said.

"Tumse pucha kisi ne" Naina greeted her teeth.

"Bhabhi lagwa lo na ab" Munna said.

"Are Munna, laga liya teri Bhabhi ne mehandi" Bela chachi said.

"Ji,ha wo to laga hi li hain" he said and Preeti glared them to keep silent.

"La Naina de na" Preeti said holding her hand.

Naina was looking towards her mehandi and Sameer look towards Preeti asking how she will write and Preeti blinked her eyes.

"Ye tum us se isharo isharo me kya baat kar rahi ho" Naina asked.

"Wo Jija Saali ka secret hai, tujhe kyu batau" Preeti said.

"Dekh tu jyada drame mat kiya kar" Naina said.

"Ohoo, kuch nhi bas aise hi" Preeti said.

"Wo to dikh hi raha hai mujhe" she said looking towards Varun's sister who was staring Sameer and he too pass a smile.

"Arey meri behna tujhe kyu jalan ho rahi hai" Preeti asked.

"Mujhe koi jalan walan nhi ho rahi hai, tu theek se laga" Naina said.

Sameer thought of an idea and said "Anuty itni boring shadi ki rasm thodi na hoti hai, kyu Pooja didi"

"Ha wahi to, koi dance hi nhi kar raha hai" Pooja said.

"ek minute" he look towards Munna Pandit and went to bring speaker with tape and play songs.

Everyone become happy and start dancing, Munna Pandit too joined them and everyone looks happy. Naina also look towards them with a smile not looking towards her mehandi for a single time. Preeti look towards him and signed "Kyaa baat hai" while Sameer smile asking her tow write.

After few minutes he hold the fan and turn towards Naina due to which her hairs fly and she look towards the source and saw Sameer smiling there.

She make a straight face and collect her hairs from other hand. Sameer smile and turn the fan towards others. Preeti wrote S in her mehandi and start applying in other hand. Sameer look towards her and she smiled showing she wrote.

He smile looking towards Naina who was busy watching the dance, he again turn fan towards her and this time she can't hold her hairs as it was full with mehandi. She galred him and he smile looking towards her, for a moment she forgot about everything and lost in Sameer's eyes.

"Nainaaaaa" Preeti called her.

"Ha, kya hua?" she asked being startle.

"Kuch nhi, jijaji me baad me kho lena abhi nhi" she said.

"Aisa kuch nhi hai" Naina said "Dekhu jara tune kya lagaya hai" she said turning her hand when Preeti signed Swati.

"Arey Naina, dekh na kitna achha gana hai, chal na dance karte hain" Swati said making her get up.

"Arey Swati ruk to, baat sun" Naina said but Swati bring her in middle.

"Chaliye Jijaji, apko v dance karna hai" Preeti brings Sameer too.

"Are beta, tum kyu khade ho aao" BELA chachi called him.

"Nhi Aunty mai theek hu" Sameer said.

"Aise kaise Sameer, chalo na" Varun's sister dragged him which again angers Naina.

Na chahu sona chandi na chahu hira moti
ye mere kis kaam ke,
Na mangu bangla baadi na mangu ghoda gadi
ye to hai bas naam ke...
deti hai dil de badle me dil ke
deti hai dil de badle me dil ke..
khel khel khel mere sahiba pyar me sauda nahi
khel khel khel mere sahiba pyar me sauda nahi...

They were dancing and Naina forgot about mehandi, Munna Pandit start their masti and everyone enjoyed a lot in function.

"Sach me beta tumne to char chand laga diye aaj ki rasm me" Phulla Bua said.

"Bua Dadi, wo to mujhe karna hi tha, dekhiye Naina kitni khush hai, mujhe uski wahi wali smile wapas chahiye, jisme koi rukawat na ho" Sameer said looking towards Naina.

"Maan jayegi wo, tu pareshan mat ho" she said.

"use to mai mana k rahunga" he said and she kissed his forehead.

After sometime, Sameer asked permission to leave as they will have to come for Tilak rasm in evening. Everyone present there were praising Sameer, Naina feels happy by his appraisals but she was still angry as she was not able to forget that moment when he was holding Priya and asking her to make notes for him then giving her letter also and here making everyone believe that he loves her why he was doing so, all these things were making her mind stressed thus she slept for a while forgetting everything.
