And saw Naina has picked up the black kitten....

"Naina Kya Kar rahi ho

He tried to warned her....

"Maine Dekha hai movies mein ....

He said

"Ye dumpling hai....

She was patting her softly..... defending her baby....

"Tumhe kaise pata iska naam dumpling hai"
He asked confused....

"Kyunki maine hi iska nam Rakha hai"
She said her full attention towards the cotton ball in her hands...

And he saw her with amused expression....

"Kal see main aur Leela kitna pareshan Ho rahe hai"
She said with concern
And he narrowed his eyebrows

"Leela..... Kaun"

He asked with curiosity

"Iski maa aur kaun......"

And he was grinning ......

"Achcha....aur kaun kaun hai iski family mein"
He asked looking really interested with a constant smile.

"Iski do behen Hain...Momo aur maggie....aur do Bhai Hain.... Dodo aur pogo...."
She filled him with information...

And he noded
"Aur ye dumpling hai"
He asked again

"Haa"
She kissed it and stood up to walk towards her bag ... Not looking that he is highly amused and smiling like an idiot....he followed her.

She sat on her knees and took out a small packet of milk powder...
A small disposable cup a water bottle and cotton swab....

He saw all the stuff coming out from her bag....
He came and sat next to her...

Having a proper look over all the things.

"Ye Tumhara bag hai ya doremon ki Jeb......
Kya hai ye sab"
He asked...

"Pata nahi kab see hai yaha...
Yaha Aya kaise....
Ise bhook Lagi hogi na"
She said to him...

And pour some water in the cup adding some milk powder...
And the milk was ready....

He was amazed with her dedication.

She hold dumpling from its back tickling its stomach with her finger..
To which it open it's mouth and she quickly soak the cotton swab in milk and squeeze it inside its mouth...

The dumpling started licking the milk.

And she was smiling with joy.... watching the kitten
Unaware that he is smiling completely lost in her smile....

"Ye Inka Sara restaurant tum Kya humesha apne bag mein leke chalti ho"
He asked enjoying the view thoroughly.

She noded .... Busy with her work...
To nourish the baby....

He observed that fear and tension is long gone from her face .
She is so relaxed and normal ....

He saw the kitten was now fast alseep on her lap and she was patting it's back.

With calmness on her face.

He was adoring her innocence.....
She is so divine.

She felt his continues gaze and saw him...
He got caught and he lowered his eyes down....

She saw him and for the first time he acknowledged something about him
He is handsome.

He again saw her as he has nothing else to do ....
And she smiled at him .... Giving him surprise....

He smiled back with uncertainty.

Naina - thank you
She said softly earnings a look from him

"Meri help karne ke liye"
She made specific....

He smiled .

"It's fine....."
He blinked....

"Aapko lag raha hoga main pagal Hun"
She tried to know what he thinks of her ....with a hint of embarrassment.

"Pagal kaun nahi hai...."
He replied instantly....

"Janti ho....
Sigmund Freud father of psychology he was also neurotic....
In fact thoda bohot pagalpan genius hone ki nishani hoti hai...."

He said which made her smile....

"Claustrophobia pagalpan nahi hai
It's just a condition....
Jiska tum Aram see samna Kar sakti ho...
Jaise aj Kiya..."

He said and she saw him with so many emotions....

"Main pehli bar apna attack control Kar payi".....
She confessed

Rajveer - claustrophobia manage karna bohot asaan hai....
It's all about imagination
Isee visualization Kehte Hain...

Bas ankhen band Karo aur apne AP ko open space mein imagine Karo..

Human mind is very stupid
Ye reality aur imagination mein farak nahi Kar pata...
Aur humari baton mein aa jata hai."

He explained....

"Aapko itna sab kaise pata"
She asked out of curiosity.....

He smiled...

"Well...
There was a time when I was claustrophobic too...."
He confessed

Gaining her interest...

"Kya"
She wanted to know more....for some reason

"I was 10 when my parents died in plane crash...."
She went soft and sympathetic ...

"Tab see mujhe constant unknown fear ho Gaya tha...

Fear of closed space ...fear of people
Fear of darkness...."

Naina - to phir thik kaise hua...

She tried to ask more solutions...

Rajveer - Meri Dadi....
She helped me a lot....
Ye trick bhi unhone sikhai thi mujhe.
To visualize

Dheere dheere I started fighting my situation....
Aur phir it stopped affecting me.

Naina was listening with full attention..

He saw her and went a bit uncomfortable

Rajveer - ajeeb hai...
He murmured

Naina - Kya ajeeb hai...
She asked...

Rajveer - Aisi Batein main Kabhi Shan aur ravish ke sath bhi nahi Karta hun...

She started thinking something...

Naina - humm aisa hota hai...
Kabhi Kabhi kuch Batein Aisi hoti hai ....
Jo AP kisi ko nahi Bata pate....

She said staring blank at the floor with some deep thoughts..

He tried to sink her words and felt something in those gaps between the words ..

The morning sunrays sneaked inside the ventilator....

Rajveer - Naina roshni ho gayi...
He got excited...

Naina - Kaha Hui roshni....
Ab bhi andhera hi hai....

He saw she is still lost in her own thoughts.....
And he kept staring at her....
