Here's the next part.....

Sharad was standing there.....seeing his little bubble of happiness explode watching Naina with Sameer...his hand holding hers in a firm a secure grip.....

Sharad: (in mind) Naina.....Naina married h...aur usne mujhe kabhi bataya b nii......vo aisa kaise kr skti h mere saath....usne mere pyaar ko thukraya, just kyunki mai us Maheshwari ki tarah ameer nii hu......lekin mai inki khushi ko zada der tikne nii dunga...Naina sirf meri h....sirf meri.....aur agar uske liye mujhe is Maheshwari ki jaan b leni pade...to mai vo b krunga.....

Sharad looked at the retreating car with hatred filled eyes.....He took out his phone and dialled a number...as soon as the person on the other end answered.....

Sharad: Mai tumhaari madad krunga...lekin meri ek shart h....Mujhe Naina chahiye....Aur Sameer Maheshwari ko zinda mt chhodna.....bolo wada? Naina ko kroge mere hawale?

Man: Haan wada.....

Saying this, the man on the other end, disconnects the call.

Man: Tujhse kaam krwana h...lekin sorry...tujhe Naina nii mil skti...Kyunki badla to mujhe usse b lena h.....Mai Sameer Maheshwari ki aankhon k saamne uski biwi ki izzat usse chheen lunga...aur Maheshwari kuchh b nii kr payega......Un dono ne mera poora parivaar khatam kr dia......ab mai unki zindagi barbaad kr dunga.....Unke aakhri har lamhe ko itna dard se bhar dunga ki vo apni maut ki bheekh maangenge mujhse...lekin mai vo b nii dunga....Just Wait and Watch......

Saying this, the man started laughing like a maniac....

On the other hand, oblivious to everything, Samaina were busy with the preparations....The entire family was really happy and excited.....Sameer has been over-feeding Naina for past one week...saying that she would need energy to fast and also he took a promise from her that she would eat everything that he would give her....after a lot of argument they settled on, that Naina would not eat multiple times, but would eat whatever he will say when she eats just twice a day......Sameer didn't let even a single chance, to get some private moments with her.....and she easily complied with his each and every demand....

Next day, they all went to office, but came back home very early and they all spent a great family time.....but something was bothering Naina.....she was getting a nagging feeling about something going wrong, but everything seemed and looked fine....she couldn't put her finger on something specific.....Still thinking of it as something to contemplate and hence she did not mention anything to Sameer.....She slept peacefully in the cocoon of his arms leaving everything in the hands of the god, she so much believes in......

Next morning, she woke up early and after getting done with her morning chores and taking a hair bath, she got ready in a red saree....her hair open and still wet.....she just pulled them together with a clutch and applied sindoor in the middle parting of her hair....She was about to keep the box back, when the loud sound of something falling from outside startled her and the box containing the vermillion fell on the floor......Naina stood rooted on her spot.....Her eyes filled up with tears.....she couldn't stop them from flowing down.......

Just then, Sameer came out after getting done with his bath, dressed in a white kurta pajama, he saw Naina standing at one place, looking down and she didn't even bother to turn towards him...which was really unlike Naina...he moved towards her and found her looking down at the floor with stunned expressions.....and her eyes were filled with tears.......he immediately ran towards her and held her from shoulders......before he could ask anything, his eyes landed on the vermillion that now lay scattered on the floor...and he knew the reason for his wife's tears....she believed too much in all these things...she wasn't superstitious like many other people....but still when it came to him....she couldn't take any risk...he still remembered how she fasted for straight 36 hours, that too without water...even after a lot of pestering from him, she was still adamant and ended up fasting, stating that it's for his long life and success......

He shook her lightly....and she came out of her frozen state and looked at Sameer, who was standing just behind her with worried expressions....she moved closer...and touched his face, to check if he's fine or not.....Sameer held her hands...and spoke in a really soft voice....

Sameer: Jaan...kuchh nii hua...it's ok....sindoor k girne se kuchh nii hoga....

Naina: Lekin Sameer...

Sameer: Shhh.....Naina...mai tumhaare saath hi hu naa...aur aaj to hum kahin jaa b nii re....mai staff ko bolke ye clean krwata hu.....ab chalo sb wait krre hain.....

Before she could say anymore...he dragged her downstairs where everyone were waiting for them....Nanu and Nani embraced them and then all started with the pooja....Naina had been worried throughout, but plastered a fake smile for everyone's sake...and also Sameer tried his best to keep cheering her up...but that too didn't work out much.....And everyone could notice it...When Naina was busy in the kitchen, he told them about it and they too felt bad for her and equally worried...but before anyone could speak with her, Pandit jii came and started with the pooja......

After around almost two hours...when they were done with pooja...Naina sang the aarti in her sweet, honeyed voice, and all were lost in the aarti....

Ambe Tu Hai Jagadambe Kali,Jai Durge Khappara Wali,

Tere Hi Guna Gaven Bharati,O Maiya Hama Saba Utare Teri Aarti।

O Maiya Hama Saba Utare Teri Aarti॥

Tere Bhakta Jano Para MataBhira Padi Hai Bhari।

Danava Dala Para Tuta Pado MaaKarake Sinha Sawari॥

Sau-Sau Sihon Se Balashali,Hai Ashta Bhujaon Wali,

Dushton Ko Tu Hi Lalakarati।

O Maiya Hama Saba Utare Teri Aarti॥

Maa-Bete Ka Hai Isa Jaga MeinBada Hi Nirmala Nata।

Puta-Kaputa Sune HaiPara Na Mata Suni Kumata॥

Saba Pe Karuna Darshane Wali,Amrita Barasane Wali,

Dukhiyon Ke Dukhade Nivarati।

O Maiya Hama Saba Utare Teri Aarti॥

Nahin Mangate Dhana Aur Daulata,Na Chandi Na Sona।

Hama To Mangen Tere Charanon MeinChhota Sa Kona॥

Sabaki Bigadi Banane Wali,Laja Bachane Wali,

Satiyon Ke Sata Ko Sanwarati।

O Maiya Hama Saba Utare Teri Aarti॥

Charana Sharana Mein Khade Tumhari,Le Puja Ki Thali।

Varada Hasta Sara Para Rakha Do MaaSankata Harane Wali॥

Maa Bhara Do Bhakti Rasa Pyali,Ashta Bhujaon Wali,

Bhakton Ke Karaja Tu Hi Sarati।

O Maiya Hama Saba Utare Teri Aarti॥

Once done with the aarti....All closed their eyes and started praying to the goddess.......

Naina: (in mind) Mata rani...pata nii kyu aaj achanak ek ajeeb saa darr lg raa h....Pichhle itne dino se ek ajeeb sa darr lg raa tha...aur aaj kuchh zada hi bechaini ho rii h....Aisa lg raa h jaise kuchh bahot bura hone wala h....please mata rani mere parivaar aur mere Sameer ka dhyaan rakhiyega.....please unhe kuchh mt hone dijiyega....aapne hamesha mera saath dia h...aur meri help ki h har musibat mei...bs is baar b meri help kijiyega...aur mujhe itni shakti dijiyega ki agar kuchh glt ho b jaaye...to b mai sb kuchh theek kr pau....please......

Sameer: (in mind) Maine kabhi aap mei vishwaas nii kia...naa aapse kabhi kuchh maanga....lekin aapne mujhe Naina k roop mei aapne sb kuchh de dia.......Lekin pata nii mujhe ek ajeeb sa darr lg raa h........maine Naina ko to smjha dia, lekin khud ko kaise smjhau......please aap meri kismat ki saza meri Naina yaa meri family ko mt dijiyega.......Vo aap k upar bahot vishwaas krti h....uska ye bharosa mt tootne dijiyega...vo bardasht nii kr payegi.....please....

Once done, they all completed the rest of the pooja and settled down in the living room....they all were sitting and talking, trying to cheer up Naina....just then Sameer received a call from his PA....He moved a little away from everyone...

Sameer: Hello...

PA: Sir...there's a big problem...

Sameer: Kya hua?

PA: Sir.....Actually...

Sameer: (losing his patience) Tell me quick.....

PA: Sir...kisi ne humaare office k logs ko tamper kia h....aapko urgently office aana hoga....

Sameer: What? But kisne?

PA: I don't know sir....kya aap please aa skte hain...urgent nii hota to aapko kabhi disturb nii rkta.....

Sameer: I know....ok, don't tell anyone else...I'll be there....

PA: Okk sir......

Disconnecting the call....Sameer moved towards everyone....

Sameer: Umm...Nanu.....actually I'll have to go to office...kuchh urgent kaam aa gaya h......

Nanu: Lekin Sameer....Aise...

Sameer: Nanu....bahot urgent h...nii to mai kabhi nii jata....aur mere alawa koi nii jaa skta isiliye...but I'll try and be back before lunch.....

Vivek: Okk beta.....but come soon, Naina ka vrat h....

Sameer: Haan papa.....

Saying this, he ran towards the elevator and moved to his room to get ready...Naina too excused herself and no one stopped her either.......She came inside, and found Sameer already dressed in his office shirt, minus his daily suit coat and tie look....She came and hugged him.....her eyes were again filled with tears......

Naina: Sameer....please jldi aa jaiyega.....pata nii kyu bahot darr lag raa h...ek ajeeb sr bechaini ho rii h Sameer........jaise...jaise....jaise kuchh bahot bura hone wala h.......kya koi aur nii jaa skta kya?

Sameer: Jaan....agar koi aur jaa skta to mai tumhe chhod k nii jata...u know naa......

Naina: Hmm....

Sameer: Aur daro mt...kuchh nii hoga.......Achha suno agar mai lunch tk nii aa paya...to kuchh kha lena.....

Naina: Nii...aapke saath hi khaungi......

Sameer: Naina.....

Naina: Nii Sameer...please.....

Sameer: Theek h......Jldi aaunga......

Sameer left immediately after kissing her forehead and promising her to comeback soon.....Naina too went down with him, and then after bidding him a goodbye...she tried her best to keep herself occupied....but couldn't help put the nagging feeling in her mind on the backseat.....Naina tried calling him, but neither he answered his call nor replied to his message.....she kept on checking her phone, for his message...but didn't get any......she didn't eat or drink anything during lunch and kept waiting for him...her eyes fixed on the main door.....

It was almost time for dinner, but there was no sign of Sameer......earlier no one found anything wrong and thought Naina was worrying unnecessarily...........But now all were hell worried...Sameer didn't even take his guards along nor the driver.....They gave all of them a holiday after pooja, to celebrate the festival with their families.....Vivek decided to call Sameer's PA without wasting anymore time.....His PA answered the phone after a few rings....

PA:Hello.....

Vivek: Mai Vievk bol raa hu....

PA: Yes sir......

Vivek: Sameer ab bhi office mei h kya?

PA: Kya? Sameer Sir?

Vivek: Haan tumne call kia tha.....where is he?

PA: Yes sir...I called him.......aur unhone kaha b tha ki vo aa re hain......lekin thode hi der baad unka text aaya ki ghar p kuchh emergency aa gyi h.....aur vo nii aa skte.....And he also mentioned ki maine unhe call naa kru....aur ghar p kisi ko b nii......

Vievk: (yelling) What? Ye kya bol re ho tum? Sameer to ghar se kab ka nikla hua h.....

All came running towards Vivek, when they heard him shouting......And understood the matter in no time....Naina lost her patience, and fell down on the floor crying haplessly......the girls came and hugged her.....Nani sat down on the sofa with a thud and Vishakha too started crying.....And Naina couldn't help but think about the morning incident...

paas aaye..
dooriyaan phir bhi kam naa huin
ek adhoori si hamaari kahaani rahi
aasmaan ko zameen, ye zaroori nahi
jaa mile.. jaa mile..
ishq sachcha wahi
jisko milti nahi manzilein.. manzilein..

Naina has been dreading this moment the most....since the time, Sameer left for office without guards or the driver....but for everyone's sake, she didn't say anything.....but now her courage failed.....and she cannot hold on to herself any longer......

rang thay, noor tha
jab kareeb tu tha
ek jannat sa tha, ye jahaan
waqt ki ret pe kuch mere naam sa
likh ke chhoD gaya tu kahaan

hamari adhoori kahani..
hamari adhoori kahani....
