Here's the next part....

He kept looking at her and she kept looking down fidgeting with her fingers.....they talked for some time and then went to take bath and get ready for lunch.....

Naina had lunch with her cousins, and her best friend Inayat and Aman also joined her that evening....she was really happy...it felt like she was surrounded with all the happiness of the whole world. She didn't expect her Chachi to be here, but still she had a bit of hope. This is how human heart works, it doesn't give up to hope for something it badly wants to happen and after loosing it again and again it would tie its hope all over again......it's not in your hands, to somehow make it understand, to not keep hopes. Whereas Sameer, who gave up on each and every hope long ago, did find his happiness and he wanted to share it with Naina for the rest of their lives.....

The entire day was spent with fun and frolic......whereas for Naina, she had to follow a lot of rituals and poojas which are an important part of every Brahmin wedding.......by the night she was really tired, sitting for long hours for all the rituals and poojas......at night she decided to call Sameer as she knew he must be waiting for her.....And she was correct.....as and when she called, he picked up the phone in one ring.....

Samaina: Hello....

Sameer: Kahan thi....tb se wait krra hu ki ab call krogi, ab krogi...agar tum 5 min aur nii krti naa, to mai hi call krne wala tha.....

Naina: Sorry Sameer.....itni saari pooja wagerah hoti hain....time hi nii de raa koi....aur shaam ko Inayat aur Aman b aa gye......aur fir unhone gher rakha tha....

Sameer: Naina...sorry mt bolo naa....mai bs wait krra tha...aur tumhe bahot miss b...isiliye aise react kia maine...

She smiled seeing his behaviour....which is hyper in one second and becomes like a kid in the another....that was the thing, she liked the most about him....she herself has been a big child at heart....but with time, she started keeping that child to herself and showing the world that she does not care about anything.......but she did care, every small thing affected her deeply......her thought process was broken by his worried voice....

Sameer: Naina....Naina..... (worriedly) Naina kya hua? Theek to ho naa tum ?

Naina: Haan theek hu....don't worry...

Sameer: To aise chup kyu ho gyi thi?

Naina: Kuchh nii bas kuchh soch rii thi....

Sameer: Aisa kya soch rii thi madam? Ki apne itne handsome pati ko hi bhool gyi?

Naina: Yahi ki aap kitne cute.....

She stopped suddenly.....and bit her tongue...and he smiled mischievously...

Sameer: Mai kitna cute kya?

Naina: Kuchh nii....aapne khana khaya?

Sameer: Abhi jaunga.....mummy log kuchh krre hain....tum batao?

Naina: Nii..abhi free hui to socha pehle aapko call kr lu fir khaungi....

Sameer: Haan lekin time p kha lena....aur no compromise in that....I know jb tum zada thak jaati ho to nii khaati achhe se.....

Naina: Haan to ye rule aap p b apply hota h..mera soch k aap b achhe se nii khaate naa.....

He smiled at her concern for him....even though Nanu and Nani were there for him....and also Mundit.....but still he could never forget about the painful years in hostel, where he had no one to care for him.....and just until few years ago, even his own mother never cared for him.....when disturbing his thoughts Naina said.....

Naina: Sameer puraani baaton ko yaad krke khud ko hurt mt kijiye naa.....ab sb saath hain...aur 3 din baad hum apni new life start krne waale hain naa....to bs achhi aur happy memories k saath krenge.....aur aage b bs happy memories hi banayenge.....Ek saath....apni family k saath.....

Sameer was about to ask, that how she came to know as to what he was thinking......but again, it wasn't the answer needed at that moment....they both got to know each other's thoughts.....even when they are far....

Naina: Ab smile b kr dijiye naa.....Please.....

She said this making a cute pout and he smiled seeing her face....which he always found cute, more than anything......

Naina: Ab achhe lg re hain....jaiye khana kha lijiye....mai b jaati hu sb wait krre honge.....

Sameer: Haan okk.....raat ko dinner k baad time mile to call krna nii to text me....

Naina: Ok...I'll call you.....

They both bid bye to each other......and went for dinner. The dinner was a jovial time for both Naina and Sameer. Inayat and Aman teased Naina a lot and the relaxing part was, that Salman did not come with Inayat as she already knew, Naina does not like him much. Hence Inayat did not want to ruin Naina's important day for her by bringing her husband here. Aman was thoroughly enjoying the huge spread of food. She was a hard core non vegetarian....but she's always loved the food cooked by Naina....and now here she's getting a huge variety of food, though vegetarian, but still the variety mattered....and Aman being a foodie enjoyed everything.....

Even Naina's rakhi brother, who was also an Aman, had also reached there and also her best friend Ankit. All had a great time. Even Sameer was enjoying a lot with his best friends and family. Everyone was really happy seeing him being genuinely happy for the first time, and all this happened when Naina entered his life. And all were praying to always keep his happiness, like this.

Naina and Sameer spoke at night for some time, before heading to bed as they had mehendi ceremony next day.....and then on 8th, they did not have any function so that Sameer and his family can travel without any tension......and they also planned a pre wedding photo shoot in the evening at some places in Gwalior. Gwalior had some beautiful places to visit and the youngsters decided to go around and visit the places and take some good couple pictures of Samaina, and this idea was wholeheartedly accepted by the elders.

Next morning all woke up, and Naina decided to talk with Sameer before going for the mehendi ceremony. She called him, and he was also waiting for her call only.

Samaina: Hello....

Naina: Kya krre the?

Sameer: Bas abhi breakfast krke aaya and just got ready for the mehendi function....Aur tum?

Naina: Mai b...ab jaa hi rii thi mehendi ki rasam k liye....aap kl aa jayenge naa?

Sameer: Haan....kyu bahot miss krri ho mujhe?

Naina: Ab...mai to bas vo....aise hi....

Sameer: Haan baba pata h mujhe....kahogi nii lekin miss krri ho....waise mai b tumhe bahot miss krra hu....

Naina always blushed at his open declaration of his love for her.....

Sameer: Waise tumhe yaad h....kaise pehli baar Preeti ki mehendi p tumhaare haath mei mera naam likh gaya tha....

Naina: Haan...kya coincidence tha naa.....

Sameer: Haan maine usi k Ek din pehle hi shaadi k liye Nanu ko haan bola tha.....aur fir us din tumhaare haath p apna naam dekh k laga....shyd yahi humaari destiny h....

Naina: Haan Sameer....mujhe to kuchh smjh hi nii aaya tha....mujhe laga pata nii aap kya sochenge....aur fir baad mei pata chala ki aapne usse pehle hi shaadi k liye haan keh dia tha....

Sameer: Shayad ye hi humaari kismat mei likha tha aur mai bahot khush hu...pehli baar Meri kismat ne mujhe kuchh dia h....kuchh achha....

Naina: Aur ye aapse kabhi dur nii jayega....I promise....

They both smiled at each other....and after talking for some  time, they both went for the ceremony all smiling and being happy.

Naina's house.....

In Naina's house, the entire garden area was decorated on green theme. Various mehendi artists were called, and two of them specially for Naina. Various photo studio like counters were setup with props and stuffs for everyone to click pictures. A special sofa was put in the middle for Naina, and various fans were put up, so that no one feels hot. The waiters brought continuous servings of cold drinks and juices for all the present guests. Various ladies from the neighbourhood have come, and sat there with dholaks and sang folk songs.....her friends and cousins were dancing....

Naina wore a green coloured suit with golden work, and wore long earrings. She had lightly curled her hair and left them open, on one side of the shoulder. Naina was made to sit on the sofa, and one artist started applying mehendi on her right hand and another on her left leg. They both made beautiful designs of bridal mehendi on her hand and leg simultaneously and once done they switched to left hand and right leg .......and Naina sat there and adored her design with a beautiful smile...just then Maahi came to her...

Maahi: Wow jiji....kitni sundar mehendi h....

Naina: Tune kyu nii lgwaayi?

Maahi: Bs jaa rii hu...badi mummy ne bulaya tha...

Naina: Achha....mummy aur Maasi ne lgwayi?

Maahi: Nii...abhi Dadi jii aur Nani Jii lgwa re hain...fir mummy, badi mummy aur dono mami jii jayenge....aur aapko kuchh chahiye to Sonu ko bolna.....

Naina: Haan okk...tu jaa...

Maahi went from there nodding her head at her sister....just then mehendi waali asked Naina....

Artist: Aapke pati ka naam?

Naina: Sameer....

Naina said his name with a beautiful smile....and the artist also smiled and nodding her head, wrote his name....carefully hiding it in between the design....

Artist: Ab dekhiyega....aapke pati apna naam dhoondhte hi reh jayenge....

The artist laughed a bit saying this, and Naina remembered the conversation when Sameer wanted to know the reason of hiding the name.....and she blushed remembering that mehendi artist's explanation to his question.....

All the ladies got the mehendi done on their hands....and they were taken care of, by their husbands or partners....whereas Naina was specially taken care of, by her brother and father....her father always treated her like a princess....indeed she was one....every girl is a princess to her father....a doll, even when she's a grown up and about to get married.....Rakesh was becoming emotional time and again....but was even happy for his little daughter, who was his princess and will now be a queen to Sameer.......

All were happy and also danced and enjoyed.....

Sameer's house.....

Sameer's house was fully decorated...all with the green theme.....he wore a blue kutta with pure gujrati pattern kadhai work on shoulders and neck.....he was brought down by Romundit and made to sit on the low sofa like stool. Mehendi artists were called, and they were about to start making the designs on his hands.....when Vishakha called from behind.....

Vishakha: Apne bete ko mai khud mehendi lagaungi....

Sameer: Mummy aap kyu?

Vishakha: Chup kr nii to pitungi....

She said showing her palm and Sameer smiled as he had never witnessed this pyaarwaali daant in his childhood.....Vishakha also smiled at him and all were happy and became emotional as well seeing this mother-son love.....she started applying mehendi on his hand when he suddenly said...

Sameer: Mummy Naina ka naam likho naa...

Vishakha gave him a teasing look......and he blushed lowering his head.....when to make the atmosphere a bit normal she said....

Vishakha: Are sb shaant kyu ho? Naacho bhai....mere bete ki mehendi h aaj.....

Nani: Haan haan....chlo bhai kuchh naach gana kro...

As all the girls were sitting down to get the mehendi done....boys started to dance...Romundit danced with Devang and also everyone took Kirtan, in arms one by one and he also enjoyed....the boys also dragged Nanu, Vivek and also Kamlesh to dance with them.....Sameer laughed seeing all their crazy dance steps......

After the mehendi ceremony, both Naina and Sameer...went to have lunch and also talked over the call as due to the mehendi on their palms, they couldn't talk over the text, but Maahi made sure to send Naina's picture to Sameer and Rohan sent Sameer's picture to Naina...

Sameer was totally lost seeing her picture....he already couldn't wait to see her....and now, it became more difficult....the wait now seemed longer than before.....

Naina was in no different state....she indeed missed Sameer, and when he mentioned the same in the morning, that was the reason she blushed so much....and in the picture, Sameer was adoring the mehendi on his palms...it was really special for him....first reason, that Vishakha had put it for him and second it contained Naina's name.....

Sameer did not know, when Rohan took his picture and sent it to Naina from his phone.....he even mentioned about today's incident....Naina was really happy for him....

That night, they both couldn't sleep....both waited eagerly for the next day......as they'll be meeting after almost 9 days....they've stayed away from each other for longer time period than this.....but still this wait seemed longer than any other time....because just before parting ways this time, he had confessed his love for her...and this is the last time, they had to be away from each other.....as now, they'll be together...forever and ever......

I know this chapter is boring....really sorry...will try to give a better update in next chapter....
