AN UNEXPECTED COFFEE DATE

CHAPTER 4

NAINA

It was a beautiful morning. I got up early as it was finally THE SATURDAY. I couldn't sleep last night. I was feeling excited & also a little nervous. "SAMEER", he is the main reason for my excitement, my nervousness, my sleepless nights... I haven't felt such things for anyone in my life till now. He has brought the best of feelings out of me which I've never experienced before.

My parents were surprised to see me wake up early that morning. "Naina beta, aaj toh college nahi hai. Toh tum jaldi kaise uth gayi?", my papa asked me curiously. My mother remained quiet & was waiting for my reply. "Ummm... Papa woh na aaj main friends ke saath bahar jaanewali hun ghoomne. Isliye jaldi uth gayi. Toh papa kya main jaa sakti hun?", I asked quietly, feeling guilty for lying to him. "Achaa hai. Jao Naina, hafte mein ek din toh apne friends ke saath ghum hi lena chahiye. Kyun Rama. Kuch yaad hai tumhe.. Hamare woh college ke din. Hum bhi toh aise hi ghumne jaaya karte the.", papa spoke lovingly looking at my mother.

"Aap bhi na, Rakeshji, Naina ko kuch jyada hi freedom nahi de rahe. Yeh nahi ke aaj chutti hai toh mummy ki help karde thoda saaf safai mein. Bas ghumna hai isse apne friends ke saath.", my mother said chiding us both. "Kya mummy aap bhi. Kal Sunday hai, kal bhi toh chutti hi hai. Kal help kar dungi pakka.", I pleaded her. She smiled & spoke, "Maska acha maarna sikh gayi hai tu. Bilkul apne papa pe gayi hai. Thik hai. Chal jaldi se nashta kar le aur fir taiyar ho jaa. I hugged her & sat to have breakfast with them. I ran towards my room to get ready for the day.

I stood in front of my cupboard & was trying to decide what to wear. I was damn confused & thought aloud, "Kya pehnu aaj... Kuch aisa jise dekhkar Sameer ke hosh hi udd jaaye. Par kya? Last dono time jab bhi mile tab maine jeans aur top hi pehna tha. Aaj kuch alag pehenti hu." I started to hunt for a suitable dress in my cupboard. And finally I found what I wanted. I knew Sameer will not be able to resist me today. And I will make sure of that.

I got ready in an hour and I was about to leave when I got a text from Sameer. "Naina, main nikal raha hun ghar se abhi. Thodi der mein pohoch jaunga Law garden. Tumhara wahin gate pe intezaar karunga. Late mat hona. Cyuuu soon." I smiled unknowingly & typed him a reply, "Good morning Sameer. Main bhi bas thodi der mein nikal jaungi. Aadhe ghante mein pohoch jaungi." I got his reply instantly, "Sambhal kar aana. I'm waiting."

SAMEER

It was finally Saturday today. The much awaited day. I got up early as always. When I returned from my run, I saw Nanu sitting in the garden reading newspaper. I went towards him & said, "Good morning Nanu. Aapne chai nashta kiya, ya abhi tak mere aane ki raah dekh rahe the hamesha ki tarah."

He smiled affectionately & replied, "Aa baith mere paas. Dekh is ghar mein sirf hum dono hi rehte hai aur ramdhari bhi. Akele khana khaane ka mann nahi hota. Aur tere hote hue main akele kyun khaun bhala. Tu hi mera eklauta baccha hai. Aur tu hi toh mujhe mummy bulata hai na. Toh kabhi dekha hai mummy ko apne bete ke bina khaate hue. Ab chal jaldi fresh hokar aaja. Mujhe pata hai tujhe bhuk lagi hogi. Raat ko bhi thik se nahi khaaya tha tune."

I hugged Nanu tightly. "Acha chal chod mujhe ab. Saans toh lene de. Teri girlfriend ko kass ke gale laga lena. Abhi mujhe baksh de tu.", Nanu teased me. I blushed unknowingly. "Barkhurdar, aaj kal main dekh raha hun, aapke mijaz kuch badle badle se lag rahe hai, aap phone pe bhi kuch jyada hi time bitate hai. Kahin sach mein koi girlfriend ka chakkar toh nahi hai na?", Nanu teased me more.

"Kya Nanu aap bhi. Subah subah hi shuru ho gaye. Aisa kuch hoga toh sabse pehle aapko hi bataunga. Pakka...", I told him sincerely. I was feeling guilty to hide about Naina. But now was not the time to reveal anything. He smiled & caressed my hair, "Thik hai Sameer. Apna yeh pakkawala promise yaad rakhna. Ab chal jaa jaldi fresh hokar aaja. Ab toh mujhe bhi bhuk lag rahi hai." I went towards my room & got ready in half an hour. I joined Nanu at the breakfast table. We finished our meal & I went back to my room to get ready to meet my Naina.

When I was leaving the house, I informed Nanu that I was going to be out the whole day with my friends. "Beta apna dhyan rakhna aur apne dost ka bhi. Khana kha lena thik se. Waise tumne koi gift li ya nahi apne dost ke liye.", Nanu spoke behind me. I just turned towards him with a blank face & spoke, "Hey bhagwan, main bhul kaise gaya koi gift lena. Thank you Nanu, aapne sahi time pe yaad dila diya. Abhi time bhi hai mere paas. Kuch na kuch mil hi jaayega abhi." I heard Nanu chuckle. And I left hurriedly towards the market first.

When I reached the market, I didn't know what gift should I buy for her. I had never done this before. So all this was new for me. Only one person came to my mind, who would help me out with this situation. I took out my phone & dialled a number, "Arey Sameer. Itni subah subah kaise phone kiya, sab thik hai na ghar par. Nanu thik hai na." I interrupted his rant, "Pandit tu meri baat sunn pehle. Nanu thik hai. Sab thik hai. Mujhe na teri thodi help chahiye." "Haan bol na. Kya help chahiye tujhe.", he asked me curiously.

"Accha sunn ab.", I told him everything about Naina without revealing her name. He was listening to me keenly. He didn't interrupt me till I finished. He was quiet for some time. I thought I lost the connection. But after few moments I heard him say, "Kitne dinon se chal raha hai yeh sab? Ek hafta shayad. Aur tu mujhe ab bataa raha hai. Kuch din nahi hue mujhe Mumbai aaye, aur tum baatein chupane lage. Khud ko mera saccha dost, sagaa bhai bolta hai. Aur kitna kuch chupaya tune mujhse. Mujhe na tujhse koi baat hi nahi karni. Bye." And with this, he disconnected the call.

I called him few more times but he didn't pick up my calls. I finally gave up, and sat on my bike thinking, "Ab yeh toh phone hi nahi utha raha. Ab main kya karun. Kya gift lun Naina ke liye. Yeh Pandit bhi na. Dekh lunga usse jab milega tab. Yeh nahi ki bhai ki thodi help hi karde. Faltu ka naraaz hokar baith gaya."

My phone rang & I picked up the call at the first ring itself & spoke, "Kyun Bhai... Itna jaldi gussa shant bhi ho gaya tera. Accha ab shanti se sunn. Maine toh Nanu ko bhi kuch nahi bataya hai ab tak. Dekh Pandit, abhi abhi toh hum baat karne lage hai. Aaj pehli baar milne wale hai baahar. Pehle main toh confirm kar lun ki woh kya feel karti hai mere baare mein. Fir main tujhe aur Nanu ko sab bataa deta. Ab sorry na.... Please maaf kar de mujhe. Aur please please please meri help karde aaj. Teri help ki mujhe bohot zarurat hai. Tujhe toh pata hai na maine kabhi yeh sab kisi bhi ladki ke liye nahi kiya hai. Please bhai help karde."

He started laughing at the other end. I was sure he was enjoying himself at my expense now. He said teasingly, "Ab aaya na unth pahaad ke niche. Hamesha mujhe tang kiya karta tha na ladkiyon ke baare mein. Ab meri hi help ki zarurat padi na tujhe. Waise yeh toh bataa Bhabhi ka naam kya hai."

I blushed hearing Bhabhi from him. I spoke a little shyly, "Bhabhi banne mein time hai abhi usse. Uski haan ho jaaye fir naam kya address bhi bataa dunga. Ab please mujhe bataa main kya gift le jaun uske liye. Aaj ka din usse acche se yaad rehna chahiye. Yeh din main hamare liye special banana chahta hun."

"Dekh Sameer. Main toh Bhabhi ko jaanta bhi nahi. Toh main kya ideas dun tujhe. Waise maine toh chocolates aur gulaab hi gift kiya hai ab tak. Uske aage kabhi koi baat hi nahi badhi.", spoke Pandit, laughing a little. I knew Pandit had gone on few casual dates here & there, but nothing was serious. "Thik hai Pandit. Main kuch aur sochta hun.", I told him.

"Sameer... Jo bhi karna dil se karna. Woh Bhabhi ko zaroor pasand aayega. Waise bhai, main bohot khush hun yeh jaan ke ki tere dil ki ghanti finally baj hi gayi. Chal ab jaa. Thoda dimaag chala. Aur mast enjoy kar... Bhabhi ke saath. Aur sunn, agar romance se thoda time mil jaaye toh mujhe baad me phone kar dena.", spoke Pandit teasing me.

"Haan haan... Thik hai.", I said with fake irritation. We disconnected the call with our usual take cares. I thought, "Waise Pandit ne jo bola woh thik hi hai. Mujhe bhi ab tak Naina ke likes aur dislikes pata nahi hai. Aaj pata laga hi lunga. Naina main tumhare baare mein sab jaanna chahtu hu. Aur aaj se dheere dheere hi sahi, main sab jaan hi lunga. Tumhara dil tumse chura na liya toh mera naam bhi Sameer Maheshwari nahi. Aa raha hun main Naina, bacha sako toh bacha lena apne dil ko."

NAINA

I got in the auto rickshaw near my house. I was getting more & more nervous as the rickshaw headed towards Law Garden. There was a Shiv Mandir just near the Law Garden. So I thought of going there & calm my nerves. Maybe Lord Shiv will help me calm myself before meeting Sameer.

As I reached the last stair towards the temple, I saw a familiar figure inside the temple. My mouth automatically broke into a smile. There HE was standing in front of the Shiv Idol. Hands folded in front of the deity. I couldn't contain my excitement & headed towards him.

There was a little crowd of school students who had come for a picnic maybe. So I had to struggle a little to move forward. As I was walking towards Sameer, someone pushed me in a hurry. I stumbled forwards loosing my balance. I just hoped that I didn't fall down there that too in front of Sameer. I felt some one holding me to maintain my balance. I had closed my eyes till then in fear.

I felt someone's arms going around my waist to keep me from falling. I opened my eyes slowly & found myself in HIS arms. Ohhhh God... Is HE holding me in his arms? I couldn't blink my eyes. I was just standing there in his arms, staring in his deep brown eyes. They were getting darker by the minute. I don't know how much time we both stood there holding each other.

"Arey Bhaiya.. Ab didi ko chod bhi do... Woh nahi girengi ab", a young girl spoke bringing us both back out of our trance. We immediately left each other & blushed at the girl's comment. "Sorry didi, mera dhyan nahi tha aur us wajah se apko dhakka lag gaya. Acha hua bhaiya ne aapko pakad liya warna toh aap gir hi jaati.", the girl spoke giggling with her friends.

I smiled at the girl & said, "Its ok." The girl left with her friends when she heard someone calling them. When I turned I saw Sameer standing next to me. "Hii... Tum yahan kya kar rahe ho. Tum mujhe Law Garden mein milne wale the na?", I spoke looking in his eyes.

"Hii Naina... Main wohi karne aaya hun jo tum karne aayi ho yahan.", he winked looking at me. "Thik hai. Chalo pray kar lete hain.", I spoke shyly. He smiled & gestured me to lead his way towards the deity. I stood next to him & was looking at him sideways. Hands folded, eyes closed & a small smile tugging on his lips. He was looking so handsome & adorable that I just wished I could hug him tightly & feel him again. He had worn white full sleeved t-shirt which had "BEING HUMAN" written over it which he had paired with dark grey jeans. His long silky hair had fallen over his forehead as always. I had a desperate urge to move my fingers in his hair. His hair looked way to seductive to me.

I closed my eyes again & prayed, "Shivji.. Yeh kya ho raha hai mujhe. Maine aisa sab kabhi feel nahi kiya hai. Jab bhi Sameer aas paas hota hai, mera dil itni tezi se dhadakta hai ki pucho mat. Abhi bhi mujhe meri dil ki dhadkan sunai de rahi hai. I hope kahin Sameer na sun le. Aaj main pehli baar aise kisi ladke ke saath baahar aayi hun, ghar pe jhooth bolke. Mujhe maaf kar dena Shiv ji. Bas hamesha aapka aashirwaad hum par banaye rakhna."

"Arey Naina beti... Bohot dino baad aayi ho.", spoke Panditji looking at me. I replied with a smile, "Ji.. Panditji.. Namaste.. Kaise hain aap? Darasal college aur padhai ke wajah se aane ka time hi nahi milta. Aaj chutti hai toh socha, yahan aa jaun apne Shivji ke darshan karne."

"Arey Sameer beta.. Tum bhi aaye ho. Jaiprakashji kahan hai? Is hafte dekha nahi maine aap logon ko. Unki tabiyat toh thik hai na?", Panditji spoke to Sameer with a wide smile. I heard Sameer saying, "Nanu ekdum thik hai Panditji. Bas factory ke kaam mein thoda busy rehte hai aajkal. Toh thak jaate hai. Par hum kal aa jayenge. Tabhi mil lijiyega Nanu se."

Panditji offered us prasad & blessed us both. We left from there smiling. I never thought that Sameer was someone who would like to come to temple every week with his Nanu. He was full of surprises for me. I wanted to know everything about him. His life, his family, his friends, his hobbies, his likes, his dislikes, his everything.

SAMEER

I couldn't believe that she was in my arms, that too, in the Shiv temple. I thanked God & that girl who had pushed Naina. Because of them, she was in my arms. I held her too close to me by her waist so that she wouldn't fall down. She looked so beautiful & serene. She had worn a white anarkali dress that had small mirror work at her neckline with a pink bandhani dupatta. The dress revealed her curves perfectly. There was no trace of make up at all. Just the kajal & a pink lipgloss I guess. She had worn silver jhumkis, few silver bangles & a silver chain to go with her dress. A bindi had completed her look. She looked elegant & perfect. "Meri Naina. Mere Dil Ki Raani." These words echoed in my mind when she was in my arms.

She opened her eyes & looked at me. I felt as if someone has taken away all the air out from my lungs. My heart skipping its beats. Her doe shaped brown eyes were a sight to watch. So beautiful.. So innocent.

I wish I could just pull her & hug her tightly at that moment. Our moment broke when a girl said to me, ""Arey Bhaiya.. Ab didi ko chod bhi do... Woh nahi girengi ab." We both blushed at that.

While praying, I saw her taking glances of me. She was definitely checking me out. I took a better look at her when she started her prayers. She looked so peaceful. I wished if I could hear her prayers. I would love to fulfil all her wishes. I hope she gives me a chance someday to do that. After talking to Panditji, we both left from the temple.

As we exited the temple, I asked Naina, "Ummmm... Naina... Law Garden jaane se pehle kya hum kahin aur jaa sakte hai. Tumhe kuch dikhana hai. Kisi se milana hai." She nodded & agreed with me. I took her towards my bike & gestured her to sit on my bike. She looked surprised but didn't hesitate. I started the bike & she sat behind me.

I wished she would hold me by my shoulder. But I knew I was expecting too much from her. I started the bike & moved towards the destination.

After few minutes, I felt her hand on my shoulder. We both shuddered at that touch. I did a happy dance in my mind. I wasn't driving fast as I always used to. I slowed down the bike & watched her through the rear view mirror. Her cheeks had matched the colour of her lips. She was blushing profusely. And I fell more in love with her...

So what do you think, where is Sameer taking Naina?

Should I continue the story.
