The sun was now out of the clouds, spreading its bright light and heat everywhere. The peak of the Himalayas and tip of the grass blades were shining bright. The river water was now steady, birds were out searching and having lunch and so was the MAM group. Post exploring the Shimla Reserve, their bus had now halted at a dhabba where they were gonna have their lunch.

All of them had settled on their seats and were waiting for their food. Ishita and Swati moved to the restroom while Naina stands up as she gets a call . It was Kamya who wanted to ask for some detail of a client whom Naina was fresting but as she wasn't available the client called up Kamya. Naina gave Kamya all the details and came back just to see Ishita occupying the chair on which she was seated a while before besides Sameer. She felt sad but let it go and sat on another chair faraway from Sameer.

Dadu: Aaj toh maza hi aagaya. Pata nahi kitne saalo baad aise paani mein khele hai hum.

Dadi: Haa, aura b toh sab barf mein bhi khelenge. Kyon Advait?

Advait: Yesh!!!

Advait screams in happiness sitting on his Great grandmother up.

Rama: Main toh nahi khelungi zyada barf mein.

Vishakha : Kyon bhabhi?

Rakesh: Rama ko toh barf se bhi darr lagta hai. Usse jaldi sardi ho kati hai na isiliye.

Vivek: Yeh baat toh sach hai bhai! Hamare Sameer ko bhi thand jaldi lag jaati hai.

Dadu: Sameer iss baar sambhalna ha, warna saare trip ka maza chala jayega.

Sameer: Ji dadu.

The waiters then arranges everyone's plates. Served with ghee and kheer Sidu, a steamed bread stuffed with seeds was a famous dish of Shimla.

Along with this there was a spicy saag and thukpa. Everyone hovered over the food as all were hungry and were enjoying the local food of Shimla.

********************************* 

Nestled in the bossom of the Himalayas, Kufri is one of the most beautiful place in Shimla. The lofty valley of the small town were ethereally white, offering some of the most beautiful sights. Elevating the beauty of the place was the valley with a variety of local flora and fauna such as pines and deodants. Many tourists were having fun activities such as skiing and ice-skating children were playing with snow-balls, the atmosphere was very playfull and so were the MAM grp members.

Sanket-Jo log skiing karenge vo mere saath aajaye baki ke Swapnil ke saath rahiye.

All the youngsters including Advait followed Sanket. All were given skies, helmets, ski suit, boots and bindings and poles. Advait was the first one to get ready and excitedly pushed himself ahead and tumbled down on his head. Sanket rushes forward, helped him to stand and took him back to his mother again.

Swati-Kya zarurat thi itna jaldi-jaldi karne ki?? Gir gaya na.

Munna-Pehele ussko puccho to sahi ki kahi lagi to nhi, bas lecture dene suru kar deti ho har-baar.

Advait-Solly(sorry)

Swati-Accha thike, ab tum mere saath hi rehena.

Swati then held his hand and skied forward. Everyone enjoyed wholeheartedly. And then moved near the frozen lake. Now excluding Dadu-Dadi everyone was excited for ice-skating. There they were given the ice-skates, helmet and elbow and knee covers. Every-person held onto their partners hand and started skating, slipping and falling. As soon as Sameer stepped up he was pulled by Ishita and both started gliding swiftly. Naina was the last one to step in and was scared to move even a step ahead. She held onto the pole to avoid slipping but failed miserably; thus she stood at a place searching foe someone who would help her come out of it. Sameer was with Ishita but his eyes were looking out for Naina, when he saw her standing nervously in a corner. Sameer excused himself for a moment and strode towards Naina. Naina was restlessly looking here and there when heard His voice.

Sameer-Kuch problem hai??

She suddenly turned to him when her leg slipped but she saved herself by tightening her hold on the pole.

Sameer-Aaram se....Kya hua??

Naina(tensely)-Aap mujhe exit ke yaha tak help kardenge pls mujhe nhi karna yeh.

Sameer-Kyu??

Naina-Nhi mujhe bohot darr lag raha hai. Me gir jaaungi..

Sameer-Arre itna mat darro yeh normal skating jaisa hai.

Naina(slowly)-Mujhe skating nhi aati.

Sameer-Ahh......Me sikha du??

Sameer said forwarding his hand. Naina looks at him and pushes her hand into his. Sameer skates backwards while gently pulling Naina forward. He guides her on how to step ahead slowly, she picks it up, focusing on her feet. Sameer slowly pulls his hand from her grip without letting her know and watches her slide smoothly onto the surface. Seeing herself balancing and skating Naina becomes happy and looks up; does not find Sameer and realizes that she does not have any support. She loses her confidence thus loses her balance and slips, she shuts her eyes in fear when two arms wind around her waist saving her from getting her hit by the ground and pulled her with a jerk which led her hitting the person's chest. She opens her eyes and sees Sameer close to her leaving an inch distance between them. Sameer comes back into his senses and makes her stand properly.

Naina-I am sry, mera balance gaya.

Sameer-Tumhara balance nahi confidence gaya. Aapne upar bharosa rakho dekhna phir jhat se sikh jaogi

Naina nods her head. They both hold each others hand and starts skating. All this was seen by 2 pairs of eyes of Dadu and Dadi.

Dadu-Dono ek saath kitne khush lag rahe hai na..

Dadi-Ha, In dono ko kisi ki nazar na lage.

Dadu-Vivek ki nazar sach me acchi hai. Mujhe nhi lagta ki hum Naina jaisi bahu dhundh pate.

Dadi-Bhagwan se bas yahi prathana hai ki dono humesha aaise hi saath rahe.

Both of them look at their children all happy and contented.

**********************************************************

Each one had a lots of fun at Kufri and were exhaustingly sitting in the bus. Rakesh- Vivek and Rama-Vishakha were sitting together.

Mr. and Mrs. Mehrotra and Mundit were fast asleep while their wives were awake. Ishita and Swati were chatting with each other while Preeti was with Sameer. Both of them were having a great time together chatting, laughing and eating. Naina was adoring their bond and was reminiscing about the time Preeti wasn't impressed by Sameer.

FLASHBACK.

Naina stepped back in her room after talking to Sameer at night. Preeti was helping Naina pack her bag.

Preeti: Ho gayi baat usse?

Naina: Usse kya? Sameer hai unka naam.

Preeti: Ahaha, abhi 'unki' wakalat! Arre shaadi toh hone de.

Naina: Tujhe problem kya hai Dekh rahi hun main, tu kuch khaas pasand nahi karti unhe.

Preeti: Kuch khaas nahi pasand hi nahi karti main 'unhe'.

Naina: Arre !! Kya problem hai?

Preeti: Problem nahi hai kuch bas who actor hai na toh pata nahi bas zyada sure nahi hu.

Naina: Who aise nahi hai Preeti, dekhlena tu unke saath time spend karegi na toh tujhe who ache lagne lagenge.

Preeti: Mujhe impress karna itna bhi aasan nahi hai, bohot papad belne padenge tere 'unko'.

Naina: Zyada chida mat. Tu khud kahegi mujhe ki who kitne ache hai.

Preeti: Madam ji aap apne sapne se bahar aaiye aur meri help kijiye. Mujhe kapde aur bag thama ke khud itni der baate kar rahi thi. Ab jo main kahu who sab deti ja.

Naina: Ok boss.

Both of them them get busy in packing.

FLASHBACK ENDS.

Naina smiles remembering her sisters past words and her present actions. More than her Preeti was hanging out with Sameer most of the time. Naina pulls her quilt covering herself and look out of the window feeling the soothing breeze.

*******************************

The atmosphere was cold and refreshing. Trees were covered in snow, sun's heat was unreachable and thus people were into their warm woolens with natural red cheeks. After a tight sleep Sameer came out of the room dressed in a plain grey t-shirt –jeans and jacket.

As he stepped out, he saw Naina locking her door.

Sameer: Hi, Good Morning!

Naina: Good Morning!

Sameer: Tumne garam kapde nahi liye?

Naina: Who Preeti le gayi hai, main bas purse lene aayi thi. Aapne break fast nahi kiya?

Aap dikhe nahi.

Sameer: Actually maine pehle hi kiya tha, who....ek imp call aanewala tha isiliye.

Naina: Oh!!

They both reached the reception when some kiddos came to Sameer for autographs and photos. Naina stepped aside and her phone rang, she picked it at went into a corner. After a minute or so when she came back, she couldn't find him there. She looked here and there for him but he was no where. Dispiritedly she walked into the bus, he was sitting with Ishita. First she got angry on him as he went without telling her but then let go cause she knew how Ishita would force one to be with her. She quietly sat on the opposite seat , besides Swati.

*************************

Also known as the Mnali gompa, Godhan Thekchoking Gompa was constructed in 1960. It is structured in a pagoda style architecture with a classic tiered tower at the top. It dwells amidst the lush green rustic surrounding of manali. Fascinating ideologies of Buddhism are the main theme of the wall paintings in the monastery.

Each one was admiring the paintings and architecture of the monastery. 

They entered inside and Advait ran in the spacious hall. All stood in front of the buddha statue joining their hands; praying and wishing for their future.

They all then came out and rolled the Tibetan prayer wheels which were placed along the walls. There was a sitting area where all sat and took in the positive energy of the monastery. But Ishita was a soul who could not keep herself and her mobile silent even for a while. She started clicking photos, recording videos and roaming around with her phone.

The others looked at her antics and sighed. Sameer shook his head and then turned to Naina who had closed her eyes and murmuring something. He kept gazing at her till the time she stared back at him. She laughed slowly until he asked.

Sameer: Tum spirituality mein bohot vishwas rakhti ho na?

Naina: Zyada toh nahi par thoda. I guess hamari history mein sach mein koi aisa cheezein hai jo scientifically aur superstitiously bhi correct hai.

Sameer: Hmm, maine kabhi aisi cheezon ke baare mein socha nahi.

Naina: It's ok, main aapki bata dungi.

Sameer: Kab?

Naina: Ummm, jab aap Preeti ko chod mere saath zyada time spend karenge.

Sameer: Ohh! Matlab tum mere saath time spend karna chahti ho?

Naina: Aisa nahi hai, bas aap uske saath zyada time rehte hai.

Sameer: Hmm actually. Par Preeti sach mein bohot funny aur entertaining hai aur.. aur jabse mujhe pata chala hai ki woh pregnant  hai tabse main zyada careful ho gaya hu.

Naina: Kyu?

Sameer: Pata nahi, Bhabhi ke wakt bhi hua tha.

Naina: Acha hai, par aap sambhalke rehna warna wob aapki puri jeb Khalid kar degi khane mein. Aur waise bhi ab toh usse cravings hogi toh bhookad aur khayegi.

Sameer: I don't think woh sab abhi hoga. Preeti ka abhi 1st month bhi nahi hua na, toh I guess agle month se cravings start hongi.

Naina: Aapko kaise pata?

Sameer: Bhabhi ke pregnancy ke wakt saare books padhe the maine.

Naina: Acha hai ki aapko pata hai, mujhe toh kuch khaas pata nahi.

Sameer: Hmm, hamare wakt problem nahi hogi.

Sameer says looking at her, Naina blushes profusely and runs to Ishita to avoid Sameer's mischievous gaze. While Sameer chuckles at her reaction and shakes his head. Soon the tour guides call them out to get into the bus and leave towards Rohtang Pass.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the way to Rohtang Pass the bus stopped at a shop and everyone stepped down. It was chilling and thus made everyone shiver even though all were covered in their warms. The guides then handed over the thermal suits to everyone along with goggles to protect their eyes. All then wore the boots, gloves and again seated in the bus.

As the bus climbed on the Manali-keylong road and scenery left them breathless. One couldn't help but admire the chilling and dramatic beauty of this place. Clear blue skies, fluffy snow covered mountain peaks and sprawling landscapes.

The bus halted a little below the pass and all got down the bus. The guides showed the officer their permit and then walked forward. The rocky course made them difficult to walk, thus each held onto the others hand tightly. Everyone used a stick for support but the elders couldn't bear more. Dadu and Naina held Dadi's hands, while Sameer was with Rama-Vishakha. Swati and Munna held onto their little one whereas Pandit held his wife's hand tightly.  Suddenly Rama stopped and sat on a big rock.

Rama: main aur nahi chadh paungi.

Sameer: Aunty hi bas thoda hi hai hum jald se pohinch jayenge.

Sameer said pointing  at the snowy point a few meters ahead.

Rama: Mujhe thand lag rahi hai, mujhse nahi ho payega.

Sameer: Main hun na aapke saath, hum dheere-dheere jayenge.

Sameer says and helps Rama stand and climb up.

************************************

Well known for its unparalleled natural beauty Rohtang Pass is a populat visitas point. Located at a staggering height of 3978 metres above the sea level, the pass offers some of the most pristine views of the Himalayas. The pass offers beautiful sights of glaciers, peak, Lahaul Valley and Chandra river. Advait screamed in glee and walked forward printing his foot in the snow. All now scattered here and there playing with the snow.

Naina, Preeti and Pandit played making snow balls and throwing at each other.

Advait had made a small snowman while his parents clicked photos of him and them. All were busy playing with the snow when suddenly Naina heard Sameer groaning.

Ishita: I am so sorry, galti se lag gaya.

Naina came towards him; saw him covering his nose and asked the reason when Ishita told how she accidently hit him with a snowball.

Naina: Kya hua Sameer? Aap haath hataiye.

Sameer: Nahi kuch anhi hua hai.

Ishita: I am so sorry, maine jaan bujhke nahi pheka.

Naina: Tumhe dekhke phekna chahiye na Ishita, lag gayi unhe.

Sameer: Naina, its ok.

Naina: Aap mujhe dikhaiye toh!

Naina pulled his hand uncovering his hose and gasped. His nose had become red.

Naina: Baap re!! Sameer yeh kitna laal ho gaya hai.

Smeer Rehne do Naina, zyada dard nahi kar raha.

Ishita: Mujhe maaf karna Sameer.

Naina: Ishita, hamesha bachpana karke kya hoga? Lag gayi na unhe.

Sameer(loudly): Naina rehne do, galti se hua usse. (To Ishita) Its ok theek ho jayega.

Naina looks at him in disbelief and does not say anything. Soon after they were exhausted playing. They all were called by the guides. All were handed a packet of Dinak laddus as it would increase the body warmth which was needed the most. Each one then followed Swapnil who took them towards the yaks who were there to ride them back down, near their bus.

2 people could easily sit on one Yak thus all sat with their partners.

Ishita: Main kiske saath baithu?

She sees Sameer sitting alone on a yak and rushes to him.

Ishita: Sameer main tumhare saath baith jau please?

Sameer: Ahh.. ok.

Sameer agrees not before glacing at Naina who was purchasing a waterbottle for him. Naina came back and saw Sameer helping Ishita climb on the yak. Again she was taking her place. Sameer looked at Naina's face which fell seeing them both together but she composed herself quickly; handed over the bottle to Sameer passing a small smile and climbed a Yak with Advait in the front. They all then started their Yak rides.

************************

The snowy wet, desolate streets of the city rested in silence as the starry black sky wept it. The small, green trees on the roadside swayed as the breeze hit them. It seemed like the clouds had gotten a sudden fascination to the moon and unwrapped themselves around it. The moons faint glow passed through them, coloring them white from grey.

Elders were asleep as it was a tiring day for them but the young ones were still not in the bed. There was a knock on Sameer's door and he opened it expecting his Bhabhi and there she was.

Sameer: Aaiye na bhabhi.

Swati entered his room which was a mess with all his clothes and luggage scattered.

Swati: Kya haal banake rakha hai devarji?

Sameer: Bhabhi mujhe samaj nahi aa raha ki yeh saare gifts kaha fit karu. Isiliye sab nikala.

Swati: Aap apne kapde wapis rakh dijiye, mere paas ek extra bag hai usme saare gifts rakh dena.

Sameer: Thank god! Aapna mere liye hamesha solutions le aate hai.

Swati: Who kya hai na aap itne problems jo karte hai toh mujhe sawarna toh hoga na.

Sameer(slowly): Ek hi toh problem hui hai.

Swati: Acha? Aur Naina ki?

Sameer: Naina ka kya problem hai?

Swati: Aaj jo kuch hua usse aapke lagta hai ki koi problem nahi hai/

Sameer: Bhabhi main......main Ishita ko mana hi nahi kar paaya jab usne pucha...pata nahi kyu?

Swati: Mujhe pata hai ki aapko kisi ko bhi na karna nahi aata par phir bhi Naina aapki hone wali biwi hai toh aapki priority who honi chahiye.

Sameer: Hmmm.

Sameer nods his head. Swati chuckles and ruffles his hair sating.

Swati: Yeh time kabhi nahi aayega Sameer, isiliye abhi hi usse jaan lo, khud ki jaan lene do aur apna bond banao. Bura dikhne ke liye nahi par Ishita ya ksi aur kin a kaho, Naina ke liye. Zimmedariya padne se pehle ek saath thoda jee lo aur......apni jagah uske dil mein banoa. Ok

Sameer: Ji!

Sameer blushes and Swati walks towards the door and halts; turning back she says.

Swati: Naina abhi pool ke paas hai, jaake baat karo.

********************************

Naina was sitting on the edge of the pool with her legs dangling in the water. She was dressed in her night suit and a jacket above, her hair were flowing as the soothing wind hit her face. She was in her thoughts when she heard someone coming.

Sameer: Hi!

Naina: Hi!

She removed her earphones and replied. There was a silence between them.

Sameer: I am sorry.

Naina: Kyu?

Sameer: Naina, mujhe pata hai ki maine aaj jo kuch bhi kiya who galat tha aur isiliye tum gussa ho.

Naina(slowly): Main gussa nahi hu.

Sameer(sighes): Naina, who Ishita hamesha mere peeche padi rehti hai aur aaj bhi jab usne pucha toh main mana nahi kar paya. Par I promise aaj ke baad tumhari jagah koi aur nahi le payega, main lene nahi dunga.

Naina looks at him deeply.

Naina: Koi baat nahi. Bas yeh promise yaad rakhiyega.

Sameer: Hamesha.

Naina: Aap kal paragliding ke liye aa rahe hai na?

Sameer: Ahh.... Actually mujhe height se darr lagta hai toh.

Naina: Arre kuch nahi hoga, bohot maza aayega.

Sameer: Mmmm...thik hai ek baar try kar lunga.

Naina nods her head in happiness and they sit there for sometimes. Suddenly she hears some foot steps and turn.

Sameer: Kya hua?

Naina: Mujhe laga Ishita hai, kya pata aapka peecha karte aa jaye.

Sameer: Naina.

Sameer whines as Naina teases him and both of them burst laughing.

Sameer: Ek baat kahun.

Naina: Hmm.

Sameer: Tum bohot cute ho.

Naina: Kya ?

Sameer: Tum jab gussa karti ho na toh bohot cute dikhti ho. Tumhari gaal phool jaate hai aur yeh naak bhi laal ho jati hai.

Sameer pinches her cheek and flicks her nose complementing her as cute. But Naina gets nervous due to their closeness and bonds back saying.

Naina: Aap pagal hai.

She runs from there with a deep red color on her cheeks and Sameer rubs the back of his neck.

***********************************************************************************************

The paradise for nature lovers with lush white snow and picturesque background of mountain ranges while offering adrenaline junkies a plethora of different adventurous activities. Solang Valley also known as 'snow point' is an alluring snow clad utopia. Situated at an altitude of 8,500 feet above sea level, it offers a spectacular scenery of enchanting glaciers and snow crest mountain peaks. Paragliding is one of the most exciting adventure sport and all the youngsters of MAM grp were going to experience it.

Sanket-Aap sab yaha khade rahiye me tab tak me sab equipments ki arrangement karwat hu.

After 5 mins Sanket came along with helmets, harness and paragliders for everyone. He handed it over to them. And everyone start getting ready. Sameer was nervous and a bit scared as he has acrophobia. He rubs his hands and lets out a sigh. Naina got to know that he was nervous by glancing at his face. She went near him thinking she could help him out.

Naina-Sameer kya hua??

Sameer-Kuch nhi.....Vo actually..... mujhe acrophobia hai so darr lag raha hai..yaha itni height se karna hai na...

Naina- Arre Sameer aap darriye mat...Aap yeh karenge tab maza aayega sacchi......Accha thik hai aap na ek kaam kariye....Aapni aankhe band kariye.

Sameer-Kyu??

Naina-Arre kariye to sahi??

Sameer(closing his eyes)-Accha thik hai.

Naina-Aab ek gehri saas lijiye aur chodiye, phir se...breath-in, breath-out.....Ab aankhe kholiye....

Sameer does as Naina says to get calm and gain some confidence. He opens his eyes and sees Naina smiling at him.

Naina-Feeling better??

Sameer-Yes..Thanks Naina mujhe abhi pehele se behetar feel ho rha hai.

Naina-Arre isme kya thanks, me khush hu ke me aapke kuch kaam aayi...(teasingly)Aur waise mujhe kisine pehele kaha tha ki aapne upar bharosa rakho dekhna phir jhat se sikh jaogi..

Sameer(sarcastically)-Ohh....Accha

Naina-Haa

They both look at each other and burst out laughing.After their laughing session they get ready and were waiting with everyone for their chance. When suddenly Ishita came to Sameer.

Ishita-Sameer kya tum mere saath chaloge pls??Mujhe darr lag rahe hai.

Sameer-Ishita mujhe nhi lagta ki yaha do log ek saath allowed hai, kyuki ki sab 1 coach aur 1 tourist assehi jaa rahe hai....Vo dekho

They both glance to the side where the coach and a boy were going for their chance.

Ishita(sadly)-Accha okay.

Sameer-Aur tum darro mat vo coach honge na tumhare saath.

Ishita(forwarding her hand)-Pakka na.

Sameer kept his hand on hers smilingly saying

Sameer-Pakka.

Ishita(smiling back)-Accha thike.

Naina saw all this and was angry seeing their hands together but was relieved that Ishita was not doing it with Sameer. Soon they all were called for their chance. All enjoyed paragliding and got together at one place to move towards the elders discussing about paragliding.

Preeti-Wah!!kitna maza aayana paragliding karne me.

Swati-Haa sacchi bohot awesome tha.

Munna-Ha yaar yeh sabse accha experience tha.

Pandit-Hmm....Sab ke saath karne me aur bhi maza aaya.

Naina-Hana aur sab upar se kitna accha lag raha tha.

Sameer-Haa Wakai Amazing tha.

Ishita-Haa

*********************************

They all reach to the place where all elders were waiting for them.

Dadu-Baccho kaisa tha paragliding?? Maza aaya??

Youngsters-Bohot maza aaya.

Dadi-Chalo accha hua..Bacche sab khush lag rahe hai

Rakesh/Vivek-Haa

Naina goes towards dadi...

Naina-Dadi aapko pata hai waha....

And starts narrating the experience of paragliding, she was animatedly telling Dadi, Sameer was adorning her with a smile when Swati comes near Sameer and asks..

Swati-Pyaari hai na..

Sameer(absent mindedly)-Bohot.

Swati(a bit loudly)-Kya kaha??

Sameer-me...mene...mene kaha kuch bola??

Swati(teasingly)-Accha.

Sameer-Kya Bhabhi aap bhi??

Saying this he moves towards Munna and Pandit. They all had to wait for sometime for the cable cars to arrive back to the stop. All were busy chatting with each other when the guides told them that they had to wait in a line as the cable cars were going to arrive in 10 mins.

Swapnil-Humne 2 cable cars book ki hai kyuki ek me 8-9 log hi jaa sakte hai. Sab bade logo ke saath me rahunga aur baccho ke saath Sanket. Aap log waha upar jaake ghum sakte hai aur photos wagera nikalne ke baad hum waapis aayenge.Okay??

Everyone-Okay.

Swapnil-Abhi aur 10 min hai so agar kisi ko kuch khana hai to koi bhi 2 log jaake leke aaiye.

Saying this the guides went in front to have their own talks. Here Naina asks everyone if they need some snacks or no. As everyone agreed to have snacks Naina was going to a side by shop to bring some snacks. She asks Advait..

Naina-Baccha aapko kya chahiye??

Advait-Pop-torn(pop-corn)

Naina-Okay..

Swati-Arre Naina chalo me bhi tumhare saath chalti hu.

Saying this Swati handovers Advait to Munna and moves forward with Naina to the shop. They buy popcorn for everyone and as they turn to move back to their line. They saw some kids and girls going towards Sameer and asking him for selfies and autograph.

Naina(irritatedly)-Phir se log aagaye, yeh log bhi na privacy hi nhi dete hai.Baar-Baar aajate hai pareshan karne. Aur Sameer bhi unnhe entertain karte hai.

Swati-Tum aur Deverji sacchi bilkul opposite ho ek-dusre se.

Naina-Matlab??

Swati-Matlab ki Deverji ko lagta hai ki yeh unnke fans ka pyaar jatane ka tarika hai.

Naina-Kaise??

Swati-Aaise ki fans unse itna pyaar karte hai ki vo sab Deverji se milne dur-dur se aate hai aur vo unnko nirash nhi kar sakte.

Naina-Haa vo to hai...Waise Bhabhi I am sry shayad mene irritate hoke kuch zayada bol diya.

Swati-Arre koi baat nhi..Sab ka aapna point of view hota hai. Mujhe bhi pehele tumahari tarah hi lagta tha phir Deverji se yeh sab sunke mera point of view change hogaya..

Naina(whispers to herself)-Shayad mera bhi.

Naina staring at Sameer was lost wondering that how much Sameer thinks about his fans and their happiness not like the other actors. Suddenly Swati says..

Swati-Bohot alag hai Deverji.

Naina-Sab se alag.

Swati-To madam chale ya yahi khade rehke Deverji ko ghurte rehna hai??

Naina(blushingly)-Kya Bhabhi??Chaliye na..

They both go back to the group and just then Sanket called them all for their Ropeway. Naina and Swati distributed the popcorns to everyone and made their way towards the Cable cars. They all get settled down and started enjoying their Ropeway experience. Cable car's started to move upwards.All got awestruck by the beautiful scenery they saw from above. They clicked some photos of the scenery and themselves as well. They reached to the top. And hopped down the cable cars and started to roam.

Preeti-Beautiful...Kitna khubsurat hai yaha Pandit.

Pandit(looking at her)-Wakai bohot khubsurat hai.

Preeti-Patidev aapni flirting chodiye sab humara wait karre hai.

Pandit-Accha.

Till then Naina comes towards them and says ..

Naina-Jiju aap dono romance hotel jake karna abhi sabke saath photos nikalne hai. Chaliye jaldi..

Naina drags both of them to the grp. She was talking facing Preeti and walking backwards when suddenly she bumped into someone and was about to fall when Preedit shouted..

Preedit-Sambhalke..

Naina had squeased shut her eyes in fear but was saved. She felt someone holding her arms, she opens her eyes to see Sameer; who had saved her. He made her stand on her feet and asked...

Sameer-Tum thik hona??

Naina-Ha, Thank you..

Sameer-Welcome, Agli baar aage dekhke chalna warna girke chot lagjayegi.

Naina(looking down)-Hmm....Okay.

Preedit were happy seeing Sameer's care for Naina.

Preeti-Chale....photos nikalne.

Sameer-Haa sure.

They captured their moments and moved back to the cable cars to reach down. Once they all were down. All heard..

"ACHI,ACHI"

Everyone turn their heads in the direction of the sound to see Sameer sneezing loudly and rubbing his nose with a handkerchief making it red.

Vishakha walks towards Sameer to rub his back when he sneezed again, as she touches Sameer,s back to rub she felt it hot so she touches his forehead and neck saying..

Vishakha-Arre Sameer tujhe to temperature bhi hai...

**********************************************************

All enjoyed the Ropeway until they got to know that Sameer had fever. As the stepped out of the Ropeway centre, one of the tour guides suggested to take Sameer back to the hotel while others could go to the Museum.

Advait-Mumma main bhi hotel jau??Mujhe nini aa rahi hai.

Swati-Nahi hum baad me jayenge.

Naina immediately interrupts..

Naina-Bhabhi main le chalti hu Advait ko, usse bhi nind aa rahi hai aur inke saath bhi koi hona chahiye na.

Swati-Aaa....thik hai le jaa.

Swati agrees seeing Naina's tensed eyes for Sameer.

Ishita-Main bhi chalti hum era bhi sar thoda bhaari ho raha hai. Aur Naina ko company bhi miljayegi.

Naina-Haa, thik hai.

All the elders agree with them and the squad goes towards the hotel where Sanket had made arrangements for doctors check-up and meds.

******************************************

The doctors prescribed Sameer some instant relief meds and asked Naina to give him Lunch. Advait slept besides Naina while she kept feeding Sameer. Ishita was continuously with no one hearing her. Sameer was observing Naina, her brows were cringed forming lines on her forehead. She was in tension and it was clearly visible as she was breathing heavily.

Sameer: Bas Naina, ho gaya. Achooo!!!

Sameer covered his nose with a kerchief and sniffed.

Naina: Sameer thoda aur kaha lijiye, thoda hi baaki hai.

Sameer: Nahi aur nahi jayega Naina.

Naina: Sameer please.

Ishita: Naina usse force mat karo, wohkeh raha hai toh mat khilao na. Waise bhi itni fheeki khichdi koi nahi khayega.

Naina(exhales deeply): Ishita kya tum please paani le aaogi? Yaha ka khatam ho gaya hai.

Ishita: Main order karti hu.

Naina: Nhi, tum please khud le aao aur garam le aana.

Naina said sternly and not more arguing Ishita went out. Naina mumbled something and made a bite to feed Sameer.

Naina: Agar aap khayenge nahi toh kal hum Rock climbing kaise karenge? Aage ke aur bhi spots hai jo hame saath mein dekhne hai, uske liye aapko theek hona padega na.

Sameer nodded his head and ate a spoonful of khichdi. She made him eat his food and his medicines too.

Naina: Aap aaram kijiye main zara kcuh kaam nipta kar aati hun.

*************************************

Ishita turned to go to Sameer's room but saw Naina at the entrance.

Ishita: Arre main aa hi rahi thi, tum kyu aayi?

Naina: Ishita, mujhe tumse kuch baat karni hai.

Ishita Ha bolo.

Naina: Dekho mujhe pata hai ki tumhe Sameer pasand hai(pause) par main nahi chahti kit um unse close raho. Aisa nahi hai ki main keh rahi hut oh tum unse dosti tod do, bas dosti kea age koi sapna mat dekhna.

Ishita: Tum yeh sab kyu ......

Naina: Mujhe pata hai ki tumhe yeh lag raha hoga ki main tumse yeh sab kyu keh rahi hun. Dekho iski wajah tum please kisiko mat batana. Yeh bohot private baat hai.

Ishita: Kya baat?

Naina: Mera aur Sameer ka Roka hua hai, toh main chahti hun kit um yeh baat samjho aur Sameer se zara distance maintain karo.

Hearing Naina's words Ishita's face drained due to the shock.

Naina: Sameer abhi so rahe hai aur main Advait ko khana khilane jaa rahi hu, toh tum abhi apne kamre mein jaa sakti ho.

Saying this Naina goes inside making a plate for Advait.

Named after a famous Russian artist who spent decades in Himachal Pradesh after feeling the revolution, the Nicholas Roerich Art Gallery and Muesum celebrates his artistic tributes. Artifacts displayed here include rare photographs of the artist, landscape paintings, and portraits of the indigenous population. The museum, which was founded in 1962, is housed in the building that once served as his residence.

After roaming in the Muesum they all were returning to the hotel in the jeep when suddenly Rakesh said....

Rakesh-Vivek bohot accha hua ki humne yaha trip pe saath aane ka plan banaya.

Vivek-Sach Rakesh humme bhi saath maze karne ka mouka mila aur humare bacche bhi ek saath acchi tarah se ghul mil rahe hai.

Rama-Ha sach sab ek dusre ke saath khush bhi hotte aur sab saath waqt bhi guzarte hai.

Vishakha-Aur Naina aur Sameer ko bhi ek dusre ko acche se janne mila. Dono ek dusre ke saath khush to hotte hai upar se dono ek dusre ki abhi se hi care karte hai.

Rama-Ha, Dono bas aise hi khush rahe humesha...Kisi ki nazar na lage humare baccho ko.

Rakesh/Vivek-Haa

All felt contentment to see their children together happy and enjoying with each each other.

********************************

The elders were back in the hotel after visiting the Muesum. They first went to check upon Sameer, to his room. Dadu knocked on the door and heard Naina's yes; he pushed the door open and all entered in. Advait was sleeping on Naina's lap on the couch while Sameer was on the bed sipping hot water. Their parents were contented seeing their children together.

Dadu-Kaisa hai mera sher??

Sameer-Ab thik hu Dadu.

Vivek-Arre hona hi chahiye, Naina ne itne acche se khayal jo rakha hai.

Vishakha-Ha toh, yeh plates dekhke lag raha hai ki jo ladka pehle bimar hote hue kuch khata nhi tha usne aaj sara khana khaya. Yeh chamatkar toh Naina ka hi hoga kyu??

All burst laughing making Samaina blush..

Rama-Sameer beta, doctor ne kya kaha?

Sameer-Kuch nhi aunty, bas todhi hawa lagi toh bukhar hogaya hai. Raat tak ekdum thik hojayega.

Munna-Ha bhai hona toh chahiye warna kal ka maza kharab ho jayega.

Swati-Ho jayenge Deverji thik par uske liye hume unhe aaram karne dena chahiye.

Rakesh-Ha Bhai, Sameer tum aaram karo hum chalet hai.

Munna picked Advait and one-by-one everyone left. Naina also got up.

Naina-Main bhi chalti hu, aap aaram kijiye. Main aate-jaate rahungi aur garam paani bhi peete rehna.

Sameer-Hmm..

Naina then bid him a bye and closed the door.

**********************************************************  

The sun was near the horizon and splotches of yellow-orange-pink were scattered across the sky. Anew day had dawned bringing sets of adventures and funs along. The heartening sounds of the birds creating different melodies, the soothing gush of the morning breeze were all that was needed to call this a perfect start.

Sameer was all fit and fine today. All the juveniles were in their sporty wears getting ready for the 1st adventure of the day- rock climbing. The rope and harness were fastened to every persons waist. 2 people could easily climb one rope. Thankfully today Ishita did not interfere into Samaina which lead them to be together on the rope.

Naina was the first one to climb followed by Sameer. There were marking made to help the trekkers climb up.There was a waterfall flwing just next to them which made the rocks slippery. But they had to mount up cause there was a cave just behind the waterfall and was a must visit. Swati and Munna were the first ones to reach up.

They were given water bottles and a small packet of dryfruits . Samaina were close to the point and were climbing carefully on the glistening rocks when Naina's foot stuck between 2 rocks and wasn't moving at all.

Naina: Ahhhh!!! Oh shit.

Sameer: Naina, dheere warna aur dukhega.

Naina: Nahi, mera pair nahi hi raha.

Sameer: Try karo, dheere-dheere.

Naina: Sameer nahi.

Naina tried pulling her leg back but hissed in pain.

Sameer: Kya hua? Ruko main kuch karta hu.

Sameer tried removing her foot but wasn't able to. He then started pushing the smaller rock out but was too hard to do so.

He got an idea but wasn't sure Naina would agree.

Sameer: Naina, yeh patthar haath se nahi niklega. Mujhe pair se push karna hoga.

Naina: Chalega par please jaldi, its paining.

Sameer: Naina, tum bilkul hilna mat. Mujhe tumhare upar aana hoga taki main who patthar nikal dunga par agar tum permission do toh.

Naina thought for a moment of him being so near to her but agreed due to the pain. Sameer pulled himself up to Naina's height, keeping his foort on the same rock as Naina; he then kicked the smaller rock which freed Naina's foot.

Sameer: Aaram se!!

He held Naina's arm so that it would ease to pull her leg back. She successfully dragged her leg down but then realized her presence so near as his breath was fanning over her neck. Her jasmine and lily fragrance filled his nostrils which his palm felt her sof, smooth skin of her arm.

Naina: Thank you.

Naina's words brought him backand he moved his face a bit far.

Sameer: Ab aage aaram se dhyan deke chalo.

Naina nodded her head and started mounting up.

**************************

After conscientrously climbing the rock all finally, sat down for lunch inside the cave itself.

They were already given packed sandwiches, aloo parathe and some fruits. They all sat in although the lunch was over.

Swati-Preeti Pandit tum dono kaise mille??

Preeti-Hum dono...peheli baar college me mile the. Ek hi class me the dono.

Pandit-Jab peheli baar entry mari thi, tab hi phisal gaya tha mai.

Naina-Lekin Jiju ki kabhi himmat hi nhi hui Preeti ko propose karne ki.

Pandit(pointing to Naina)-Arre tumhe kya pata tha ki Preeti ki image college me kaisi thi.....ekdum gundi ki tarah.

Preeti slapped Pandit's shoulder and Munna says..

Munna-Phir propose kiya ki hi??

Preeti-Propose to nhi kiya lekin gana gaya tha.

Sameer-Konsa??

Naina-Jiju ek baar hojaye..

Pehli nazar mein
Kaise jaado kar diya
Tera ban baita hai
Mera jiya
Jaane kya hoga
Kya hoga kya pata
Is pal ko milke
Aa jee le zara

Pandit looks into Preeti's eyes with love and sings the song again.....for her.

Mein hoon yahan
Tu hai yahan
Meri bahon mein aa
Aa bhi ja
O jaan-e-jaan
Dono jahan
Meri bahon mein aa
Bhool Ja aa

He pulls and make her stand for a couple dance. Naina and Ishita starts recording.

Baby i love u, baby i love you, baby i love you, baby i love you so much
Baby i love u
Oh i love u
I love u
I love u so much
Baby i love u

Munna and Swati joins them when Swati hints Sameer and Naina to join them too. Naina nods her head in a 'no' when suddenly Sameer starts singing..

Har dua mein shamil tera pyaar hai
Bin tere lamha bhi dushwar hai
Dhadhkon ko tujhe se hi darkar hai
Tujhse hai rahtein
Tujhse hai chahtein

Tu jo mili ek din mujhe
Mein kahin ho gaya lapata

O jaan-e-jaan
Dono jahan
Meri bahon mein aa
Bhool Ja aa

Naina looks at him with affection filled eyes and then starts recording him too. Sameer then comes towards her; forwarding his hand he asks her for a dance.

Kar diya Deewana dard-e-Kash ne
Chain cheena isqh ke ehsaas ne
Bekhayali di hai tere pyaas ne
Chaya suroor hai
Kuch to zaroor hai

Yeh dooriyan
Jeene na de
Hal mera tujhe na pata

O jaan-e-jaan
Dono jahan
Meri bahon mein aa
Bhool Ja aa

Baby i love u, baby i love you, baby i love you

Munna also joins his friends for singing and they all enjoy their dance.

********************************************************** 

After having a fun filled cave lunch experience, all were now gonna ride a snow scooter. They sat in their jeep and travelled towards Gulaba.

A small village located7.8 km from Vashisht, Gulaba is known for its great snowy region and number of adventure activities. The village is tucked amidst picturesque snow capped mountains and verdant great meadows with the Beas river adding opulence and serenity to its beauty.

Each one was amazed by the flawless surrounding of Gulaba. All were again in their thermals clicking photos while the mobile lover Ishita was still in the bus as she vomited twice on the way due to a bad stomach. Therefore the six were now gonna have all the fun.

Sanket: Hum sabko ab snow scooters diye jayenge jispe 2 log ride kar sakte hai. Sab yaha se bhrigu lake ki taraf jayeng. Aaste mein boards hai kariye. Yeh saare aapke keys.

Sanket handed the keys to each gentleman. And all were on the bikes the next moment. Naina sat behind Sameer keeping a safe distance between. They started moving ahead; Naina held the back handle but couldn't for a longer time as her fingers were feezing due to their speed and lastly she held on to him tightly. Sameer smiled as he felt her hands on his shoulder and he rode more faster.

The sun fell asleep, shielded behind 3 sloping, blue mountains each smaller but tougher than the one before. The tree were strong, black soldiers standing in an unmoving row. The fire ball casted shadows of tangerine and red among the rocks. It was a sight one would die for. All the six watched the sunset and the darkness take over. They all held on each others hands promising to stay together forever.
