Naina tried to open the door dartly, two times dropping keys in haste and pushed it only to find Raj sleeping on the couch in a embryo postion curled up, hugging his knees....

She slowly forwarded some steps, keeping the meds and soup she bought for him on the table....
She thought of waking him up and kneed down....lifted her hand to tap his shoulder...
But stopped seeing him trembling badly....

She quickly moved to close the door connecting balcony with the living area, which are sending cool breeze to make Rajveer's sleep a chilly one.... in the absence of Naina.....

Suddenly the wind chime which was gyrating in it's own rhythm caught her attention....
She took some book and shooked it in air, creating a wavy musical sound...

Seeing no signs of movement of Rajveer's body part, which happens normally in movies.....
She went close to him and sat on the floor, putting her body weight on knees....and again tried to tap his shoulder, asking him to take the meds....

Navu - " sochna bhi math...." he said in a warning tone...

Hearing it, Naina startled and was about to fell on the floor, she holded her hand to balance herself....

She looked here and there, thinking Navu's apparition in the flat....
and finally found him inside laptop...

Naina - " bhai..." she called him getting surprised to know he was keeping an eye on sleeping Raj.....

Navu - " dheere bol meri maa,
Woh Soo raha he...
Waise,
Kitne goli daale the tune???...." asked the last line controlling his laughter... Which Naina didn't paid attention to...

Naina - " huh!!!..." raised her eyebrows and immediately lowered her eyes as she was caught by her pyaara Bhai...that too troubling his own best friend.....

" Gudiya ab tu halaal banne ko tayyar ho jaavooo...." she thought....

Navu - " kuch poocha maine...." said maintaining a rough look....

Raj - " shayad 5 hoga...." said still eyes closed, stirring in sleep, facing back to them....

Naina - " aap jage huye the???..." asked looking at him with a shocked expressions...as if a ghost is sleeping beside her...

Hearing this, Raj opened his eyes and was about to look into her hazzel orbs,

Navu - " tu so jaa...
aur no eyes kholing...samjhaaa...." he said in a mild scolding tone, the turning towards Naina,

" Agar daalna hi tha, mujhse poochleti...
main sahi dose batata....
Itna tablets waste karne ki kyaa zaroorat thi???...." and leaned on his chair making a sad face...

Naina - " aap mujhe daantoge nii??
Maine aapke dost ke coffee mein..." stopped her words in mid seeing the chewing gum covered with few hairs sleeping carelessly on the floor....
due to her magical hands.....

Navu - " sirf yahi kiya tha tune...
Aur kuch nii..."

Naina - " woh Bhai..." eyes still lowered....

Navu - " main chup hu iska matlb yeh nii ki tum joh chaahe woh karo..
Are you insane???"
he said throwing a cup of coffee in a force breaking it into small small pieces which resulted in an echoe, hindering the voices of chimes....

Raj almost jumped from bed and rubbed his eyes to have a clear view.....of his personal Satan....

and Naina shuddered looking at his red shot eyes...where hurt, helplessness and resentment is plainly written.... It's the first time she saw her Bhai like this.... She unknowingly held Raj's hands for support....

Naina - " I'm sorry Bhai...
Woh Maine..." she started sobbing making a innocent face....

Raj - " kyaa yaar....
tu bhi poorani baathonko leke bait gaya...
Chod na Navu....
Chal, hum chess khelte he..." said in his usual lazy tone....

Naina - " aap beechmein math boliye..." she gave him a look with a blurred vision as tears were not allowing her to see him clearly...

Navu - " Nainaaaa.....
I didn't expected from you....
this shitty kind of behavior...." he roared showing her index finger...

Naina - " ditto.. " said pressing the word and imitating him, pointing her index finger, towards him,
" Aapne mujhse poocha,
Inse shadi karwane se phehle???...
Nii naa...."

Navu - " listen to me..." he said calming himself down, seeing Raj's eyes which were instructing him something...

Naina - " Nope..
I won't....
Why did you saved me???.
Mar jaane dete mujhe...." she said in standing in a border line of angry and crying territory....

Navu - " Gu...diyaa..." he got emotional remembering the moment, and choked in between....

Raj - " Navu....She is right yaar...
Tum use marne dena chahiye tha..." saying this he again signalled him something, which helped Naveen to compose himself again....

They both knew that, it's the right time she let out her pain....to stable herself... which wasn't allowing her to breath freely from last few days....

It's not easy to forget your first love...
Abhi was her first love, for whom she fell unknowingly....
First love.....
It's really a special word which gives a real meaning to your life, filling it's divergent colors.... making you go bonkers, snatching the thinking powers from you....

NaVeer, seeing her desperateness to remove her frustration, thought of handling the matter delicately...
As it wasn't easy to calm down the Phoolan Devi, a hurt tigress...

Naina - " aapne suna nii... " giving him a cold look,

"Aur aap Bhai kyaa aapko suchmein yeh lagta he ki main khush hu is so called shadi se???
Yese kaise aap ek anjaan aadmi see meri shadi karwa sakte ho???" then turning towards Raj,

" Aapne kyu Shaadi ki mujhse???
Isiliye kyunki apko guilty feel hua Abhi se mera rista todke????
Laga, ki bechari ki zindagi kharab hojaayegii...
Ise shadi karke, iski zindagi sawardu main...
Kyu kiyaa aapne aisa????
Why didn't....."

Navu - " do you still love him???..." there came a question which passed a hot air causing silence in Naina's mouth, brain and heart...

Navu - " do you still care for him,
jisne tujhe u beech mandap mein chodke jaane se phehle ek baar bhi nii socha???

Naina, jawab do....
Do you still...." stopped seeing her sitting like a stone on the couch, tears flowing without seeking permission from her....

Raj sat beside her, holding Naina's shoulder from left hand, side hugging her....
and she leaned on him....

Navu - " Naina,
Do you trust me???...
Iska jawab toh milega mujhe???...." he asked with a soft tone, and got his answer instantly from Naina's naina...

Navu - " toh main joh bhi kahunga, dhyan see sunna...
And please don't try to put pressure on your gutter brain...." he murmured last line, which Raj heard, and warned with his right hand, saying not again...

Navu - " us din shadi, Raj ke nii mere wajah se ruki thi...
Kuch aisa hua, jisase yeh shadi mujhe todni padhi...
Suna tune, Maine....
Tere bhaine todi he yeh shadi....jiske liye tune din raath sapne boonde the...

Kyu....yeh sawal ka jawab tujhe aage zindagi mein zaroor milegiii....

And please believe me,
Abhi Tere liye theekh nii tha Gudiyaa...
He was just...." again stopped seeing Raj's browny eyes, conveying something....

Naina - " kyaa Bhai???.." asked with teary face....

Navu - " Naina,
Aaj tak Maine tumse kuch nii manga...
Joh bhi tune kaha use bina uski wajah pooche ha se ha milayiii....

Kyaa ab tum mere liye, apne aap ko ek aur mauka de sakti ho???
Apne aap ko khush rakhne ka koshish kar sakti ho????
Mere liye???...." he literally pleaded her....and few tears dropped which instantly melted Naina's Heart, which was on strike from few days...

Naina - " please Bhai, don't cry na...
Aap jaisa bhi kahenge, main waisa hi karungii..." she too sobbed covering her face...

Navu - " Gudiyaa..." stopped as he couldn't continue seeing her tears....

Raj understanding the sensitivity of the situation,
" Naina, look at me...." he asked cupping her face and she didn't tried to wage war on him....for this act....

Raj - " main jaanta hu aur samajhta bhi hu ki kyaa kyaa saha he tumne in kuch dinomein...
Hum tumhe aaj isi wakth move on karne force nii karenge...." he wiped her tears softly.....

Navu - " Bus hum dono yeh chahte he ki tum use bhuladoo...
Apne Dil se aur dimag se use nikaldo...
Kyaa tum bina poore such jaane bager..."

Naina - " I trust you Bhai...
Bhagwan se bhi zyada.... kyunki aap hi mera sub kuch ho...
Aap jaisa kahenge, main use maanungi...."

Raj moving his fingers in her hairs,
" Bus itna chahte he ki tum khush raho, aur...."

Navu - " iska matlb yeh nii ki tum saalon lagado, aage badhne mein..." said cutting Rajveer's words in mid, mocking at both, wiping his own tears,

" Main army ka hissa hu, joh apne desh ke liye kisi bhi khatarnak mission mein jaan le bhi sakta hu aur de bhi...
So, I don't wanna take risk..." said moving his head in negative direction in a cool manner....

Raj - " Abe saale, beechmein yeh konsa dialogue ghusaa diya tune..." murmurred, which was clearly heard by Naina as she was sitting close to him...
And she smiled at him for the first time.... seeing his cute behavior....

Navu - " aur nii toh kyaa...
Tum dononko yaha bhoolok mein rone ko chodkar main waha swarg mein Apsaravonke saath ku chi Koo karta????...." Said as if Raj's words hurted his heart....

Naina - " bad joke Bhai....
Try something new..." she said searching for some more tissues....

Raj - " ditto..." and gave the whole tissue box to Naina... which she took this time...

Navu taking a deep breath,
" Dekh Naina....
Maine joh bhi us din phaisla liya mujhe uske koyi afsos nii he...
Main jaanta hu ki tu bahot khush rahegi, is kamine ke saath...." saying this he turned towards Raj who was sitting lowering his eyes, hearing Naveen's words....

He understood what is rotating I'm Rajveer's head....
"Lagta he, ise manane khud mujhe Delhi jaana padhega...." he thought....

Suddenly something strike his mind....

Navu - " Naina,
Aur ek baath dhyan se sunlo....
Isko, joh Tera saath baita he...
Use ek bhi kharoch aayi na toh mujhse bura koyi nii hoga....

Main itne din sab jaanke bhi shanth tha kyunki, aanjane mein hi sahi.tum iske chehre pe hasi laarahi thi...
Age se no shaitani....
Agar karni he toh mujhse puchloo, mere pass aur bhi...."

Naina - "main abhi aati hu..." saying this she went inside her room... not wanting to participate in this leisurely talks, where main focus was on her husband....

Raj - " yeh kyaa tha??
Tu kab sudrega re???
Itna serious mahol mein kon yesa baatein karta he???...." he said sleeping on his back, keeping laptop on his stomach....

Navu - " Main, the Great Naveen Singh Ahluwaliya...yese baatein karta hu...
Aur,
she needs time...
Isiliye woh ander gayi...
Meri behan he, achche tarah se jaanta hu main...
Tu tayyar rah toofan see aamna saamna hone ko..."

Raj - " ek baath sahi kahi tune...
Yeh bilkul Tere uper gayi he...
Frustration bhi Teri tarah nikalti he mujhe tang karke...
Aaj dekho, mere chaar Baal bhi katwadiye... chewing gum lagake..." he showed Naveen, his special hair cut ..

Navu - " dekhiye...
Yeh bahot hi anokha hair cut he...joh 'Chiyi Muyi Cut ' ke naam se prasiddha he...
Chyi isiliye kyunki ise chewing gum se phehle sajate he...
Muyi isiliye kyunki yeh bilkul chuhe ki daantonse bana hua lag rah he..." he said like giving advertisement in naptol.com and broke into fits....

Raj - " saale tujhe toh...."

Navu - " but seriously yaar,
Mere wajah se tumhe iski yeh kartoote sehne padhe....
Aur...."

Raj - " chutti he Meri...
Directly waha aake chaar laath maaru kyaa???
Main jaanta hu ki woh sub zaroori Tha...warna woh saas na le paati yeh soch sochke ki us...." paused remembering Jabrela, then,
" Kaise bhula diya jaaye...
Kuch dinonke liye hi sahi uske dhyaan mere taraf bhatak ke woh shanth toh huyii...
Khud ko dard dene ki badle mujhe...."

Navu - "Tere liye apply kardu main???...." asked interrupting Rajveer's words...

Raj - " kaha???..."

Navu - " Woh Shri Shri Shri Gyan yogi ke aashram...
Mujhe lagta he ki tu unka uttaradhikari banega...."

Raj - " kutte, tu toh....
Tu virgin marega Saale...."

Navu - " yeh gaali mere uper ab laagu na hoga....
Woh border toh kabka cross ho chuka he...

Aur usne soup laya hoga, garam karke, pile...
Fir tapak jaa..." said picking up some pieces of glass on the table...

Raj - " tu kaise pata Chala???..." asked seeing the bag Naina brought with her...

Navu - " mere dood mein 2 goliyaan miladi thi....jab Maine uske raakhi ke paise gayab kiya Tha..
Same treatment mila tha mujhe baadmein....

Ab zyada soch math...
Safe he soup...
Raath Tak woh aayegi baath karne...
Ghabra math...
And please take care re.....

Phirse Tera kadam....us Ghar...."

Raj - " Good night...." saying this he closed the laptop and moved towards kitchen picking up the soup....

" Main help kardu..." a sweet dulcet voice came from behind...
