Here's the next part...

The month of November was finally here....The slight drop in the temperature...had turned the nights and early mornings a bit chilly......People have taken out their warm winter wear.....Even in a place like Mumbai, which is not very cold, still experienced slight cold.......It was early morning, around 5 am.......the sun has not been up totally...everyone were sleeping peacefully in their house wrapped in blankets.....But tow souls were up the whole night.....one shedding loads of tears and the other burning in anger.....it was none other than Naina and Sameer.....

Naina was in Vishakha's room....with Vishakha sleeping next to her.......she still can't get over his words......how can he tell he to leave him alone and go away from his life......how can he say, that he doesn't even want to talk with her? Just because of one small mistake, that too she didn't do it....he became so mad at her......She came out to the open terrace thinking all this.....

Naina: (in mind) Sameer kya itna hi bharosa tha aapko apni Naina p? Inta hi pyaar tha? Ek baar meri baat b nii suni apne? Kyu Sameer..kyu? Humara itna khaas din hota kl..lekin aapne? Aapne apne  gusse mei sb barbaad kr dia...jaanti hu aapko gussa Jldi aata h..lekin you really think ki mai aisa kr skti hu? Kyu Sameer kyu kia aapne aisa? Kya in do saalon Mei mai aapko apne pyaar p aur khud p bilkul b bharosa nii dila paayi mai?

Thinking this, Naina again  started to cry terribly......Even the cold could't cool down her burning heart....Yes its been almost two years since Samaina were married.....but today's incident had broken her heart badly.....

On the other hand, Sameer was sitting in the study room, trying to fix the chaos Naina had created.....He was so mad at her...how can she be so irresponsible....doesn't she know how much hard work he had done in past so many years to bring SJM Fashions to this position...and her one stupidity had brought him here....He still remembered how successful his Paris Fashion had been...exactly one year ago from this month....After that, so many brands and international fashion companies had invested money in his company...making him no. 1 in India......he had burnt the midnight oil.....and after everything...How can she be so careless?

Sameer: Naina...how could you? Bhale hi hum sirf do saal se saath h...lekin tumhe to sb pata h naa? Aur in do salon mei tumne meri mehnat b dekhi h..ki kaise maine din raat ek kr dia..aur ab jb sb kuchh achha chal raa h..tum itni badi glti kaise kr skti ho? Shyd glti meri hi h.....mujhe tumhe tini zada responsibilities deni hi nii chahiye thi......yaa shyd I overestimated you.......

Ever since they got married.....a lot of things have changed, in this previous one year....not just for Samaina but for everyone...their company has become a huge brand.......the team work, the love between them...everything had increased.....but one incident had left everyone stunned and broken...especially Samaina....

It had been a really long night for everyone......the entire fiasco that started yesterday has still no chance of getting back to normal.....Pandit was till in his room, trying to find out the real culprit who was behind all this......and he was also really pissed at Sameer's behavior.....Not just Pandit, but everyone.....Sameer had really crossed all the limits with Naina this time....They all understand that its a huge thing..whatever happened shouldn't have happened, but this was not the way to express his anger.........

Naina's eyes opened, when she felt the sun rays falling on her face.....She lazily opened her eyes and looked around...she had slept in an odd position on the ground itself...she got up and felt a pang of pain in her lower abdomen.....She shrugged it and went inside...to find Vishakha almost up.....She quietly went and lied down next to her and closed her eyes......Just then Vishakha got up and looked at tear stricken face of Naina...she caressed her hair and placing a soft kiss on her forehead...spoke slowly as not not disturb her sleep.....

Vishakha: I'm sorry beta...shayad meri hi gltiyon ka natija h Sameer ka ye behavior.....I wish sb jldi theek ho jaaye.....Mai tum dono ko aise nii dekh skti.....

Tears again started to come out of Naina's eyes...but she still didn't open her eyes....And sighing Vishakha got up and moved towards the washroom......and once done with her bath and daily chores...she went down to find tensed faces of her husband and her parents........The faces that greeted each other with smiles everyday, were sad today and also tensed.....the news channel still flashing the previous day's headlines....

Stocks of SJM Fashions on sale....

Has Sameer Maheshwari gone bankrupt? 

Naina Maheshwari puts maximum part of her shares in the company on sale.....

Are they about to split up?

Just then Munna was seen coming down holding 4-month pregnant Swati's hand......

Nani: Munna....Swati ko kyu utha dia beta? Use araam kene deta naa.... 

Vivek: Kaise koi araam krega mummy....humaare sahaabzaade ne kisi ko chain se rehne kayak chhoda hi kahan h?

Vivek was also very angry on Sameer.....he knew that somewhere or the other they were responsible for all his anger issues...but Naina? That girl had been stuck by his side all the while....even when Sameer actually faced some loss a couple of months ago....she had used all her contacts and help from previous companies and also a few in fashion industry to get him back on track...and what had Sameer done to her? Just for one mistake he had humiliated her in front of the entire office and board members....and didn't even give her a chance to put forward her point even once....He wasn't even ready to listen to her.....and that was what disappointed everyone....

Vishakha: Aap shaant ho jaiye naa....

Vivek: Haan tumhaare bachche apni man maani krte rahein...aur mai kuchh bolu b naa......waah....

Munna: Mausa jii b galat nii h Mausi.....aur agar Swati kamre mei rehti to b pareshaan hi rehti.....aur soya to kl koi b nii h hum mei se.....  

Swati: Naina kaisi h?

Vishakha: Raat bhar bahar baith k royi h....aur subah mere uthne se pehle aake bagal Mei so gyi...use laga mujhe pata nii chalega.....khair maine b nii uthaya....kam se kam kuchh to araam mile....

They all turned when they heard the door of the study open...and found Sameer stepping from there.....He looked pathetic..still in his previous day's office formals....shirt out of place...hair all messed up..eyes red.....seems like he too didn't sleep a wink.....He was about to move towards the elevator....he stopped hearing Nanu's voice...

Nanu: Ruko Sameer...

Though he stopped, still he didn't bother to speak up......And Vivek was burning in anger now....this was limit of misbehavior.......But he didn't wanted to speak up in between....

Nanu: Kl jo b tumne kia..vo bahut galat tha..Maine tujhe ye to kabhi nii sikhaya tha...Mujhe lgta tha ki mera Sameer shararti ho skta h..chanchal ho skta h...lekin maine ye kabhi nii socha tha ki mera Sameer kisi ka dil b dukha skta h.....I'm really disappointed in you......

Saying this Nanu removed his glasses and wiped the corner of his eyes....Vivek got up abruptly and stormed out of the living room.....just then Rohan and Preeti came....They too gave him a look of disappointment.......and went towards the others.......

This was the limit of his tolerance.....Everyone was siding with her....here he was on the verge of loosing everything he had worked so hard for...and all they cared about is Naina.....He angrily went towards his room.....

Well...the bitter truth of the world....people can never see clearly or understand the situation...and should definitely avoid to act upon in the state of anger......Wise people have said..that "Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret." We always say things, when we are angry.....that there are great chances we might regret it later.....The wounds caused by weapons can be cured, but the wounds caused by words can never be healed...and leaves the marks for always and forever.......

He went in to his room angrily......and found Naina just coming out of the restroom..Seeing him she rushed towards him...since the time he had come back home yesterday, he didn't even meet or speak with her......She had tried many times...and after several failed attempts and to not disturb everyone anymore...she went to sleep with Vishakha.....

Naina: (crying) Sam...Sameer..ple...please...ee.e....ek..baar...meri baat sun lijiye naa......mai...maine kuchh....

Poor Naina..tried to convince her angry husband.....but whatever anger subsided in the entire night..came back seeing look of disappointment on his family's face...his Nanu's words still echoing in his ears....I'm so disappointed in you Sameer......All his anger again took a toll on him...and he jerked away her hands on his shoulders...and pushed her......And Naina fell on the floor.....

Sameer: (angrily) Mujhe kuchh nii sunna...are agar tum apni glti maan leti naa...to b mujhe koi problem nii thi...lekin tum.....tum bas sbko yahi batane ki koshish krri ho kl se...ki mai galat hu....sb meri meri glti h...Haan fine mai hi galat hu...Mai hi sbke disappointment ki wjah hu....

Naina: Nnnn...nii..Sameer....please ek baar.....mujhe...

Sameer: Bas Naina bahot ho gaya......apni glti to tum maan hi nii skti naa.......Mujhe...mujhe naa tumhaari koi baat sunni h...aur naa hi tumhaari shakal dekhni h...just go away....

Naina: (shocked) Sameer?

Sameer: Didn't you hear me? I don't wanna see your face...just go away.....

Saying this Sameer stormed to the restroom and when he came back after a shower and getting ready for the day...Naina was not there......He ignored it and went downstairs and without giving even a glance to anyone..he left for office....He needs to fix all this...and today itself.....

Naina was in the temple crying like anything...she hand't eaten anything since yesterday.....she was out in the open in a cold night...and now his words pricked her heart.....She still remembered when he said...

Sameer: (huskily) Mai to tumhe aise hi dekhunga...aaj...kl..parson...aur hamesha..please mujhe rokna mt......

She was remembering what all had happened yesterday......

Flashback....

Naina was sitting in her cabin in the HR dept...she was waiting anxiously for some important papers and just then she heard a knock on the door...

Naina: Come in..

A peon entered holding a white envelope...

Peon: Madam..ye aapke liye aaya h...

Naina: Haan dijiye...thank you...

Once he left, closing the door behind him..she opened the envelope with a lot of urgency and taking out the white paper from it...she read it.....Her lips broke into a blissful smile.....and tears started to pour out of her eyes......

Naina: Ye...mujhe abhi Sameer ko jaake batana hoga.....

She was about to get up and go...just then suddenly there was a call on her intercom...

Sameer: (angrily) In my cabin..right now.....

Naina: Hel...Hello...Sameer?

But the call was disconnected by then....And she kept looking at the receiver all confused.....

Naina: Inhe kya hua? Itne gusse mei kyu hain? Kahin inhe? Nii..nii...jaake dekhti hu....

Naina rushed towards the elevator and almost ran towards to his cabin....but still being careful....

Naina: (happily) Sameer...aapko kuchh batana h...aap sunenge naa to Khushi se dance krne lagenge.....

She forwarded the envelope she was holding towards him...but he snatched it and threw it away.....Naina was shocked at this behavior of his...

Naina: Sameer...ye..aapne....

But he didn't let her speak and holding her hand, almost dragged her to the conference room...there she found Romundit and Swapreeamrita already there along with other board members and all had tensed faces......and Sameer looked very angry.....

Naina: Kya hua? Everything ok?

Sameer came towards her taking long steps and almost threw a paper on her face...She was shocked would be understatement.....still looking at the seriousness of the matter..she took the paper in her hands and it was kind of notary paper.....which stated..

I...Naina Sameer Maheshwari wants to put up 25% of my shares in the stock market for sale. I am doing this out of my own will and do not have any kind of pressure on me. 

And below it had her signature......She didn't even know when she had signed these papers.....She looked at all the curious faces...but Sameer's gaze, which was always love filled for her....was filled with anger...and more than that, it held accusations....and doubts for her....She can bear anything..but cannot bear him doubting her...

Naina: Sam..Sameer...I don't know..how did this even happen?

Rohan: Bhabhi...is company k shares drastically drop ho re hain......Pandit somehow saved them from getting sold.....but aapne ye kyu? 

Naina: Nii Rohan..mai kyu aisa krungi?

Sameer: (angrily) Then where did these signatures come from?

Naina: Mujhe nii pata...I don't even remember signing any such papers...please Sameer trust me......

Sameer: Just shut up Naina..ye tumhaare hi signatures hain.......

The TV screen behind them..kept running news of Sameer getting bankrupt..or Naina selling the shares as they are about to part ways....or as he is not able to fulfill her demands as a husband...And some also ran debate shows...discussing on various aspects for Naina selling her shares......

And all this was boiling Sameer's anger more and more.......When he first heard of the news..he couldn't believe that Naina could do something like that...he thought may be by mistake she would've signed those papers...but this news...media and all the share holders' calls was making him more and more angry.....and now Naina didn't have any explanation.....And what irritated him the most was the file had other papers as well...with a heading...Marketing strategies for Q3.....She had been a graduate from a really good school back in the USA, and this is what she came up with...this limelight stunt....... He stormed out of the meeting room..while everyone kept calling him......He went down and didn't realize Naina following him...almost running behind him......

She was able to get to him, when he reached the reception area on the ground floor.......She held his hand, before he could step out of the office building.....and he jerked her hand away with a force.....And by this time..many of the employees have gathered there......Naina looked around and felt really embarrassed...not just for her sake, but his image mattered more to her.....She tried to speak softly to him....

Naina: Sameer..please aapke cabin Mei chalte hain...

Sameer: Kyu? Mujhe naa kahin jana h..naa hi kisi se koi baat krri h...

Naina: Sameer please...I can explain....

Sameer: (shouting angrily) Kya explain karogi haan? How can you be so dumb? Ye konsi marketing strategies h haan? Just leave me alone.....I don't wanna talk to you......

And he went out..without even sparing a look at her......And Naina stood there in the middle of the room....with all the curious gazes on her..She heard people mumbling a lot of things about them...and also the girls sniggering who had been cursing over Sameer for so many years......

Heart broken...and also determined to talk to him at home...she went back to their cabin and gathering her stuffs and left for home......along with the others......  

Naina ran inside the house as and when she reached there......She found Nani and Vishakha sitting there with tensed faces.....

Naina: Nani...Sam..Sameer?

Nani: Beta vo bahut gusse mei aaya...aur aate hi study Mei chala gaya...

Vishakha: Naina...beta ye sb? Hua kya h?

Naina had tears in her eyes....and she sat down on the floor..crying terribly....

Naina: Maine kuchh nii kia..I swear..Sameer ko please boliye naa meri baat sun le...Please Nani...Mummy.....

They all felt really bad for her.....Nani made her sit on the sofa and offered her a glass of water...which she denied.....She went towards the study room...and kept knocking and crying.....but Sameer...seems like he had turned deaf ears towards her......and after getting exhausted, she slipped down on the floor outside the door...but didn't stop crying even for a second......

Her heart pained seeing his anger...his doubt......his accusation filled eyes.....It shattered her heart into pieces....and killed her every second..He was not even ready to listen to her....How can he believe that she can do something like this to him.....After a long time, when he still didn't open the door..Rohan came to take Naina away from there.....

Even he couldn't believe that his bhabhi could do something like this......And be it anything,  his brother's behavior was not justifiable...and seeing Naina punishing herself so much...his heart went out to this poor soul....

Rohan: Bhabhi..please uth jao..chalo bahar...

Naina: Rohan..tum...tum...bolo naa Sameer ko......ek baar meri baat sun le..please....

She folded her hands in front of Rohan..and he immediately pulled back her hands...

Rohan: Bhabhi..ye aap kya krri ho..please...dekho..aap chalo bhai shaant hoga tb baat krenge...Let's wait for him....

He gently held her and brought her to the living room where everyone were sitting....Pandit was trying to find the real traitor...whereas Munna was trying to fix the share and stock markets from crashing down......Finally the stock markets closed, without much of loss to them...but still Sameer's anger was nowhere coming to an end.....

He didn't step out of the study....and neither answered any of their calls or messages...and entering the study using his master key...would only mean to increase his anger.....hence they let him by himself.......At night, nobody had dinner..except for Swati...who too ate after a lot of persuasion from everyone.....As it won't be good for her or the baby.......

Naina had almost slept on the sofa itself coz of crying so much.....Later, Nani didn't let Naina sleep alone in the room..she was afraid that Sameer might come back at night..and would again initiate a fight with Naina.......and both ended up wide awake whole night...in two different corners of the mansion......

Flashback ends....

Sameer had reached office and was still trying to find out, that who got these papers in the first place.....He was somewhere feeling bad..and also angry on himself for torturing Naina like this...but all that was covered under the mist of his anger and also ego....Ego is a really dangerous enemy...as it's part of us..and takes away our entire ability to think or talk straight....And that was what happened with Sameer.......

He was on the call, when Romundit barged inside his cabin.....they stood in front of him with angry faces...but didn't disturb his call.....Once he kept his phone away..they all burst out on him...

Rohan: Bhai ye aapne bilkul sahi nii kia..

Munna: Haan Sameer..tujhse ye ummeed nii thi..... 

Pandit: Ek baar uski baat to sun leta yrr.....

Munna: Aisa naa ho ki jb tujhe sach pata chale...to tu usse nazarein b naa mila paaye....  

Sameer: Ho gaya tum logon ka? Yahan uski pairavi krne ki bajaaye ye pata kro ki ye sbse nikalna kaise h..aur mujhe smjhaane ki jagah use smjhao...ki ab glati kr di h...to at least maafi hi maag le.....

Munna: Ye tu to nii bol raa...

Pandit: Haan...humaare bhai mei itna ego to nii h....

Rohan: Haan bhai..this is not you...

Sameer: (angrily) Haan mai hi galat hu...Mai hi bura hu naa......baaki saari duniya sachchi aur achhi h.....

Pandit: Sameer..mai bol raa hu... jitna tu soch raa h naa..ye sach usse b bahot bada h.....tu bahot pachhtayega.....

Sameer: Mtlb kya h tera?

Before Pandit could answer....Rohan's phone rang.....He took the call and became really worried.....

Rohan: Hello...

.

.

.

.

Rohan? Kya? Bhabhi? Lekin kaise?

.

.

.

.

.

Rohan: Hum abhi aate hain.... 

Munna: Kya hua?

Rohan: Preeti ka call tha...bhabhi....

Sameer: (getting worried) Kya hua Naina ko?

Rohan: Preeti bahot ro rii h..humein turant ghar jana hoga....

Romundit rushed out of the office...without answering Sameer....He kept on calling them...but they didn't listen to him and went away...He too ran behind them..and called the driver to keep the car ready......

As and when he reached home....he rushed towards his room..after asking a helper of everyone's whereabouts.....There he found Nanu..Nani..Vishakha..Vivek and everyone standing outside with worried expressions.....He rushed towards Nanu..and asked holding his shoulders...

Sameer: Nanu...kya hua h Naina ko? Kahan h vo?

But Nanu just gave him an angry look...and didn't say anything...Leaving Nanu he went towards Nani....

Sameer: Nani...aap to kuch bolo naa.....

Getting no answer from her either......Sameer went to his parents..who too were looking at his in utter disappointment and anger....And by now he was totally restless and also crying.....

Sameer: Mummy...papa...aap to bata do.....

But getting no answer from anyone..he was getting more and more restless.....

Sameer: (shouting) Koi kuchh batayega yaa nii?

Ramdhari came forward keeping his head low.....and spoke in a really low voice...

Ramdhari: Vo...Sameer bhaiya...hum Nani Jii k kehne p bhabhi ko naashte k liye bulaane gye the..unhone kl k naashte k baad se kuchh nii khaya tha....vo mandir Mei thi...humne bulaya to boli ki nii khana....humne bahot kaha to jaise hi vo uth k khadi hui...ek dum shayd unko chakkar aa gaya...aur ek dum se girne ki wjah se unka pair mud gaya aur vo gir gyi..aur sir p deewar ka kona lg gaya.......

Sameer stood there numb.....he had promised Naina, that he would never let her cry...he would never give her pain....He had broken her trust again.....he gave her so much pain......even after knowing of all that she'd been through..instead of protecting her..he had caused her more pain...all the words that he spoke to her since yesterday came back to him......Now he can feel...what all he had said in a fit of rage...and how deeply it would've affected her....

His reverie was broken by the click sound of the door.....and he saw the wife of their family Dr stepping out....Sameer rushed towards her...

Sameer: Dr..Nnnn...Naina? How is she? Vo theek h naa? Kya hua h use?

Dr: Dekho she  is fine....zada kuchh ghabraane ki baat nii h....pair Mei halka sprain h....aur sir p halka cut aaya h aur shayad use fever b h thoda...but she'll be fine....lekin Sameer how can you be so careless? Aisi haalat mei use tumne itni der bhookha kaise rehne dia? As far as I know abhi to koi vrat yaa tyohaar nii h.....to fir?

Sameer: I'm sorry Dr...mujh...mujhe dhyaan rakhna chahiye tha....

Dr: Obviously...I mean mujhe lgta tha ki tum bahot hi responsible aur samajhdaar ho...lekin aaj Naina ki condition dekh k I feel that I was highly mistaken....aur aap sb b.....Aapne kaise itni laparwahi ki? Aapko andaza b h...ki itni der bhookhe rehna kitna bura h aisi condition Mei....Hone waali maa k saath saath aane waale bachche k liye b dangerous ho skta h....especially initial stage p.....And she is already anaemic......

Sameer: I'm really sorry Dr....

He didn't realize what the Dr was saying as he was drowning in his own guilt...but her last sentence caught his attention...even others looked equally shocked.......

Sameer: Kya.....Kya kaha apne?

Dr: Yes...Naina is one and a half month pregnant.....

Everyone: Kya?

Dr: Haan...aap sb ko nii bataya usne? Kl hi maine uski positive reports bheje the...office mei...use mile nii kya?

Everyone: Nii..

Dr: Kamaal h...abhi do din pehle hi vo mere cinic mei aayi thi..uski tabiyat theek nii thi.....mujhe symptoms dekh k doubt hua...isliye maine test kia..aur result positive tha...Usne mana kia tha batane k liye..kaha tha ki vo sbko khud batayegi.....

Everyone were shocked...but also happy...and one look at Sameer's face....and all his previous day's behavior came back to them...but they didn't say anything in front of an outsider....

Dr: Khair....ab dhyaan rakhna...and congratulations Sameer....you are going to be a father....

Saying this the Dr left along with Ramdhari....and everyone went inside to see Naina...whereas Sameer kept standing there like a statue.......

He was thinking of everything he had done and said to her....all his words would have killed Naina from within....And all this while She was pregnant.....

Hey everyone...so yeah I've taken a leap.....Initially when I had started the story...I thought of  it as a long story...with whole journey of Samaina...and now, I've almost shown everything and have two more stories...so I'm planning on ending it soon...hence this leap....So after this, one more chapter and then an epilogue....thanks for all the love...this was my first ever story...and will always be special to me......And the next chapter and epilogue might take time to come out...as I'm planning on making it longer.....till then stay safe and tc....
