Loud sound of his phone make them apart, she let him go to talk. he answered the call annoyingly and moves towards balcony.

Dev- Sameer upar sab thik hai na. Bhabhi... Bahbhi thik hai?

Sameer- ab... Haan... Haan sab thik... Tu... Tu kaha hai?

Dev- abe bhang kha rakhi hai kya tune...! Mai niche car me hu teri...! Bhul gaya kya?

Sameer-tu... Niche... *Slowly and face palming himself- shit yar... *To Dev- sorry yarr... Tu ruk mai aata hu.

He cut the call and steps inside, there naina is standing front of mirror composing her nupital chain and hairs. She asked him looking through mirror.

Naina- kya hua? Kaun tha?

Sameer- Dev...! Niche hai car me. Usi ka call tha.

Naina- sameer aapne unhe car me baitha rakha hai. Jaeye leke aayeye...

Sameer run downstairs, and arrived in just few minutes with Dev. He greeted everyone, having sancks with tea and coffee they talked for sometimes, sameer and Dev left from there. Sameer have to drop dev to his place. Reaching at his home sejal is already waiting for them on door step.

Sejal- aagye tum log... Naina kaisi hai...? Thik hai na...! Uske gharwalo ne zyada kuch nahi kaha na use..?

Dev- devi ji... Ander to aane dijiye. Ya yahi pe enquiry commission baithaengi.

Settling on sofa, sameer narrates whole incident.

Sejal- thank god jo tum time pe phuch gye. Par meri ek bat nahi samajh aayi naina ne itna kuch sunne k bad bhi swati ka nam q nahi liya.

Sameer- naina ke papa aur tauji ki swati k papa se achhi jan pahchan hai. Ab agar unhe wo bat pata chalti to swati k liye musibat ban jati. Waise Sejal reports kya aayi. I mean...

Sejal- actually i don't know. Mai naina ko lekar pareshan ho rahi thi isiliye turant ghar aa gyi.

Sameer- it's okay... Mai chalta hu...

Next day.....

Sameer is standing front mirror and thinking about every possible way to meet naina in each and every rituals.

Sameer- soch sameer soch.... Kuch to karna hoga nahi to do din naina ko bina dekhe kaise rehunga mai.

Coming downstairs, he found nanu, who is sitting on dinning table waiting for breakfast reading newspaper.

Sameer- good morning nanu....!

Nanu- good morning janab...! To aaj last day in office. Fir chhutti....

He says sitting beside him on chair.

Sameer- umm... Nanu... Mere pass ek idea hai agar aap sath do to....

Nanu leaned towards him and asked with evil smile on his face.

Nanu- naina se milne me....!

Sameer happily nodded in agreement.

Nanu- chal be... Teri shadi k chakkar me apna divorce nahi karana mujhe. High command ka order hai ki shadi se pehle tum log nahi mil sakte sivaye sangeet k function k.

Sameer looks at him with sulking face and sad pout.

Sameer- kya nanu... Ek aap hi to the jinse thodi help ki umeed thi par aap bhi...

Leaning towards nanu he also said with same evil smile on his face.

Sameer- mai to milunga hi... Wo bhi roz... Mujhe koi nahi rok sakta...

He winks at nanu. He replied in same tone.

Nanu- koi na rok raha tujhe.... Waise ek bat batau shadi se pehle aise chhup chhup kar milne me jo maja hai wo shadi k bad khullam khulla pyar karne me bhi nahi hai.

Sameer looks at nanu shockingly, before he could say anything nani comes from kitchen with casserole full of gobhi paratha.

Nani- kya baten ho rahi hai nana nati me...?

Sameer- nani nanu keh rahe the ki wo aapko meri shadi k bad Ladakh ghumane le jaenge.

Sitting front of sameer nani served breakfast to them. Nanu look's at sameer with wide open eyes, while Sameer give him teasing smile.

Nani- sach jai hum Ladakh jaenge... Waise achha hi hai Tirath k liye abhi bhut time hai tab tak kahi aur hi ghum lete hai.

Now it's time for him to be shocked. But he continued eating.

Nani- waise bhi poonam aur Devang teri shadi k bad gandhinagar jaa rahe hai rohan bhi apne friend ki shadi me jaa rahaa hai ek hafte k liye aur hum Ladakh... hum sab ko bahar bhej k ghar ko hi honeymoon suite me badalne ka tera Idea achha hai.

He choked his food, nanu forward him gkass of water, while rubbing his back.

Nanu- tune koi destination to choose kiya nhi hoga. Isliye ye khurafati Idea aagya. Hai na...

Sameer- mera ho gya mai chalta hu....

He get up leave from there. Old Maheshawari couple burst into laughter.

Nani- are nashta to pura khatam kar k jaa...!

But he is already gone. As always samaina meet in office. He don't miss any single chance to romance with her and she is make him do work reluctantly. In lunch hour, Bela rings naina to inform you that she and sameer have to come home within one hour as nani and nanu will come with someone. Finishing up their lunch samaina ready to leave for home.

At Agarwal's..

When samaina enter inside, nanu and nani are already there after greeting everyone they discuss about further thing for wedding.

Nanu- anand mai soch raha hu sangeet ka function humare yaha ho ya fir sameer k farmhouse pe.

Nani- haan... Engagement me kitni achhi arrangement thi waha.

Anand- thik hai fir jaisa aap log ko thik lage. Par naina ki vidai mai apne ghar se karna chahta hu.

Nanu- isme koi sochne wali bat nahi hai ananad. Betiyan apne pita k ghar se hi vida hoti hai.

Hearing about vidai naina's face fell. ( Bhale hi pass me jana ho par apne maa bap chhod k jane ka dukh to hota hi hai)
She excuses herself and walk inside her room. Her actions didn't gone unnoticed by sameer. Anand and sameer exchange glance, he asking permission to go behind her and in reply anand blinked to do so. Without wasting a second he moved towards her room. Stepping inside he found her looking at her family photograph which is hanging on wall. He said nothing take her in side hug kissed her hairs.

Sameer- jaan...! You ok na...?

Naina- sameer... Mai...

Sameer- tum apni family se kabhi dur nahi hogi jaan... Haan bas tumhara ghar badal jayega. Par ye ghar ye family tab tumhari utni hi rahegi jitni ab hai. Tum jab chaho yaha aa sakti ho. Jitne din chaho yaha reh sakti ho. Mai tumhe abhi nahi rokunga. Waise bhi tumhe tumhare maa papa se milne se rokne ka haq mujhe nahi hai. Isliye no rona... Ok...

He wipes her tears, and Pecked on her forehead cupping her face. She holds his hand which is on er cheeks.

Naina- i love u sameer....

Sameer- i Love you more...

Naina- mujhe aapko ek bat batani hai...

Sameer- tumhe mujhse kuch kehene k liye itna sochne ki zarurat nahi hai pata hai na... Bolo...

Naina-hmmm... Mai... Matlab mere maa papa mere... Biological parents nahi hai...

Sameer try to show that he know about that from ger first time but he already knows about that from her diary.

Naina- tauji se chhote aur papa se bade unke ek aur bhai the jinki mere paida hone se kuch mahine pehele hi death ho gyi thi. Fir mere paida hone k bad meri maa ki. Par unhone jane se pehele papa aur maa ko meri legal custody dedi thi. Mujhe kabhi kisi ne ye bat nahi batai. Mai... Mai sochti thi ki taiji humesha mujhe manhoos kyu bolti hai. Mujhse nafrat kyu karti hai. Bhut sochti thi. Fir ek din mujhe sach pata hi chal gya. Aapko pata hai mai khub royi thi khud ko bathroom me band kar k. Gussa bhi aaya ki mujhe kabhi bataya kyu nahi mere asali maa papa ke bare me fir socha jitana pyar mere chacha chachi ne mujhe maa papa ban k diya utna to shayad hi mere parents de pate. Aur tab ka din hai aur ab ka na mujhe kisi ne is bare me bataya aur na maine kabhi unke samne zahir kiya ki mujhe ye sab pata hai.

Sameer- tumhe pata hai naina tum kitni lucky ho jo tumhe apne maa papa khone k bad bhi unke jitana pyar karne wale guardian mile. Par mai... Mai to tumhe bata.....

He stopped in mid, as he didn't tell her about his parent's demise.

Naina- sameer... Aage boliye... Please...

Their foreheads touched with eachother. Tears rolled down from their eyes.

Sameer- mere 10th birthday pe unka accident hua tha. Papa ki on the spot aur maa ki hospital me. Meri hi zid ki vajah se. Agar us din maine white shoes ki zid nhi ki hoti to shayad aaj maa papa humare pass hote. Tum puchhti thi na ki mai apna b'day q nahi celebrate karta. Yehi reason tha.

They are sharing their pain. First time she sees him crying like this, she hugged him and rubbed his back to make him calm yet tears are rolled down from her eyes too.

The pain of losing parents or one of them is unbearable for any child. It doesn't matter how older he/she.
