Next morning Sameer was sleeping on his bed with smiling face. When Rohan come back after jogging, he shocked to see Sameer sleeping  late in the morning. Rohan looked at him and found a smile playing on his face, he never saw a such smile on his face. Rohan admired his smiling face which he saw for first time since Nanaji's passed away. He did not want to disturb his sleep but he thought that if he did not woke up him, he would be late to reach the college or office. So he finally called his name to woke up.

When Rohan called his name two or three times, his sleep got disturbed and he slowly opened his eyes with annoying faces as his dream was broke. He stared at Rohan.

Seeing his eyes opened, Rohan comment "Sameer aaj uthna nahi hai kya?... ya phir apne sapno ki pari me hi khoye rahna hai."

Hearing to Rohan, Sameer instantly got up from the bed with a jerk and looked him with confused face. "Matlab... kya?... kuch kaha maine." He said as feared that if he would be spilled about Naina in his dream.

"Tum aise shock kyo ho gaye?... kahi sach me kuch chupa to nahi rahe?." Rohan looked him with questioning eyes.

"Mai kya chupauga, tum bhi na kya sochate rahte ho...Vaise tumhe aisa kyo laga?." Sameer replied after being normal.

"Wo tumhare chehare pe smile dekh ke... par sachhi batao ye smile thi kiski liye?." Rohan asked.

"Ha... wo sapne me Aaditya ko dekha na aur uski baatein to tumhe pata hi hai... bas aa gayi hasi, ab mai fresh hone ja raha hu." He stood up immediately from the bed.

"Achha." Rohan smirked.

Sameer entered the washroom and sighed.

"Sameer tumhe kya lagta hai tum kahoge aur mai maan lunga... mujhe achchhe se pata hai ki tumhare chehare pe jo smile thi wo Aaditya ke liye nahi kisi khas ke liye thi... aur do teen dino se tum me jo change aaya hai, usse confirm hai ki tum kuch to chupa rahe ho, but mai wait karunga tumhare batane ka." Rohan mumbled to see close door of the washroom.

Naina was happy today as Preeti health was now fine. She also remembered yesterday incident when Sameer mentioned date. And a smile crept on her face. She stood in front of mirror and saw her blushing face. She was searching a perfect dress of her for special occasion but she was confused as she was unable to decide what she was wearing that Sameer liked. Today her first priority was Sameer's happiness for which she could do anything.

After a while her eyes fell in a dark pink kurta and her lips unknowingly curved in glad. After dressing she adored herself and her cheek tinted up pink as imagined Sameer reaction.

When she was satisfied of her look, she went to kitchen for helping Preeti, and she decided  that she would tell her about Sameer at night because she was busy in the morning. Preeti saw her and admired her look. Naina blushed and seeing her blushing Preeti started teasing. "Kise marne ka irada hai madam."

"Chup kar kuch bhi bolati hai, mai kisi ke liye taiyar nahi hui... bas man kiya to pahan liya... Achhi nahi lag rahi?" She asked for avoiding her tease.

"Chal ab sharmana band kar aur brackfast kar le, do din se tujhe bahut kam karna pada na meri vajah... tu yanha kya soch ke aayi thi aur tujhe pareshan kar diya...Sorry." She apologized with holding her both ear and Naina immediately removed her hand to her ears.

"Agar tune aur bakwas ki na to mai aaj breakfast kiye bina hi college chali jaaungi." She threatened her.

"Thik hai, nahi karungi." Preeti surrendered.

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

Naina sat impatiently in the auditorium and waited eagerly to Sameer as the training started over 15 minute. She became nervous of roaming such thought that if he would not come today or he would be fine. Priya talking with her but she did not pay attention to her and all her attention was the entrance on the hall. She mumbled " Sameer abhi tak aaye kyo nahi, kahi wo bhul to nahi gaye... aisa kaise ho sakta hai... to phir shayad office gaye ho."

Priya looked at her and asked "Naina kya bad bada rahi ho."

"Kuch bhi to nahi di." Naina got alert on her actions.

Just then Sameer entered the hall with Principal Sir. He once glanced at Naina and immediately averted his eyes when he recalled Naina's words yesterday. Sameer wanted to show his love to the whole world but he was restricted his emotion as their relationship did not approved by their society.

After five minutes Principal Sir addressed everyone " I hope that all of you have got to learn a lot from this training program, which you will use while teaching children in your school. Hamne apni taraf se ek achchha program ready karne ki koshish ki thi. Hame bahut khushi hui ki aap sab ne apne precious time ke six day iss training program ko diye. Isliye aaj an hour ke training program ke baad aap longo ke liye hamare college ke students ke dwara ek special program ready kiya gaya hai... aur iske baad ek lunch ka aayojan kiya gaya hai, taki aap sabhi ki aapas me jan pahchan ban sake... I hope you all enjoyed this training programs.

When the training program was over, the special program started and everyone was engrossed watching it. Sameer glances at Naina in the middle of the program as he was sitting on the stage.

Meanwhile when the program was running on the stage Naina was talking with Priya as she was about to go with Sameer at lunch time due to which she would not be able to meet Priya again.

"Priya di Aap ki bahut yaad aayegi... Aap ke saath ye six day kaise beet gaye, pata nahi chala." Naina shared her true feeling towards Priya as she felt a great affinity with her.

"Mai bhi tumhe bahut miss karungi...Naina, par ek promise karo ki tum apni shaadi me mujhe bulaogi..." Priya said.

"Off course di zarur..." Naina pleased to see her love.

Naina again looked at the stage and Sameer gestured her to his watch and she realized that the time was soon to go with him.

When program ended and lunch hour had started, Sameer stood his place and walked out of the hall while glancing at his Naina. Naina understood his meaning.

All of the people started to out of the auditorium for lunch. Naina said to Priya hesitantly. "Di.. mai aap ke saath lunch karna chahati thi par...Wo Preeti ne Delhi ghumne ka plan banaya hai... aapko last day aise chod ke ja rahi hu... Sorry." Naina was feel guilty as she was lying of her, who always considered her like a own sister.

"Naina koi baat nahi, tu guilty feel mat kar... aur achhe se enjoy kar...Ha dukh to hua ki   busy schedule ke karan tum mere saath Delhi nahi ghum payi, lekin next time jab bhi aana to inform karna aur Preeti se bhi milwana, tumhare muh se uski tarif sun ke milne ki bahut ichchha hai." Priya eased her bad feeling and Naina relieved.

Priya hugged her tightly and they both separated when they heard the bustling sound of the people in the hall.

Five minutes later when she clarified Priya, she went directly to the parking lot. Sameer agitated to see her and his face lit up to see her stunning in beautiful dress. He was mesmerized and adoring her. His eyes widened, his mouth opened and his eyes flickered as if it was not his dream.

Naina went towards his car where he was  frozen. Naina waved her hand in front of, he came senses and said in low husky voice that only she heard "kya lag rahi ho Nainaa".

"Achhi nahi lag rahi?" Naina retorted and felt bad for choosing the dress as she could not impress him.

"Maine kab kaha achhi nahi lag rahi ho... mai to kah raha tha ki... Aaj.." He stopped to tease her.

"Ki aaj kya Sameer?." She impatient to hear his answer.

"Ki tum."

"Ki mai...Kya??. She frustrated to see him take a long time.

"Ki aaj tumne ne mujhe marne ka plan banaya hai." Before he could say further Naina kept her palm on his mouth.

Sameer was stunned to see her sudden action which he had not expect even in his dream. And a suddenly a wave ran across his body with her mere touch of his lips.

"Mare aap ke dushman, aage aise marne ki baat muh se bhi mat nikaliye ga...Aap meri jaan hai Sameer, aap ke bina mai nahi jee paungi." She cracked and realized hit her, she immediately removed her palm from his mouth.

"Itan pyaar karti ho mujhse." She looked at him with uncertain look.

"Koi shaq hai, aapko." He found immense love in her eyes.

"Nahi... mai to bas tumhe aise hi chhed raha tha." And he instantly received a death glare from her.

He held his one ear and said "Sorry, aaj ke baad kabhi nahi kahunga, Naina...sach kahu to, tum aaj bahut beautiful lag rahi ho." And he raised her hand up to his lips and planted a kiss on her palm. He commanded to open the passenger seat door. "Baitho"

Naina face heated when she noticed he did not removing his gaze from her as they both had settled inside the car. Some pink hue was spreaded on her cheek.

"Chale." He asked looking into her ocean eyes.

Naina nodded in yes. She was adoring him as how today he looked so handsome in the green shirt and wondered that every colour suited him.

"Naina ab ghurna band karo varna mai road pe concentrate nahi kar paunga." Her face flushed to hear him.

He again said as she did not feel  embarrassment " batao kahan jana hai." As his whole attention was on the heavy traffic.

"Jahan aap ka dil kare." She replied to see him with affectionately.

"Naina.. mera mann to tumhe apne ghar le jane ka hai." He whispered as leaning towards her ear.

"Kuch bhi kahte hai." She pushed him. Sameer rotated his head and focused on the road again.

Naina again said looking him with blushing face "abhi time hai usme."

Sameer murmured while put his hand on his heart "Haaye.. kab khatam hoga ye intzaar."

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

After lunch at a restaurant Sameer took her to show the different place. At last they went to Jantar Mantar, after explored the large area, they settled down on a long chair in the garden. Naina and Sameer sat close each other, Naina rested her hand in his shoulder and Sameer circled his hand around her shoulder as protected her whole world. Sameer placed his chin top of her head. They were sitting remain in these position sometime. As they felt each other presence in their lives and comprehended that it was not a dream.

After some ten minutes Sameer took her name gently.

"Nainaaa."

She only hummed.

"Tum kab vapas ja rahi ho." He asked.

"Kal... Rat... 8:30 ki train hai." She handled herself in some way as thought to hit her that she would go away from him and she broke down from the inside.

"Naina." He paused.

After that he did not say anything. Naina raised her head and saw his worried face. She sat straight and holding his hand.

"Sameer"

Sameer looked at their holding hand and he said while stroking her hand. "Naina tumhare family wale maan jayenge na... mai to kisi bhi tarah apni family ko mana lunga, lekin tumhare papa aur baki gharwale manege na."

Naina's feared again arose inside her, when saw his confidence loosen. And she felt she should tell him about her marriage alliance which scaring her as she was feel guilty of hide him in that important matter. He had the right to know everything related to her.

She addressed his name in week tone.
"Sameer"

"Ha Naina." He replied.

"Sameer mere Delhi aane ke ek din pahle taiji ek rishta leke aayi thi." She informed him while glancing him.

But Sameer's facial expressions had the same. 

"Aur tumhare ghar walo ne ha kah diya, hai na." He said in a flat tone.

Naina retorted "nahi aisi baat nahi hai."

"To bhir kaisi baat hai Naina?... Jab sab tay tha to phir mera pyaar accept kyo kiya?, mera dil todne ke liye... mai jee raha tha na tumhare bina, aage bhi jee leta." He asked in a curt voice without looking her.

"Par mai nahi jee sakti Sameer aapke bina." She broken listening to his curt words.

Sameer tried to removing his hand from her grip but she tightened her holding of his hand. He looked in her eyes which was blank as no expression through reflect the dark brown orbs. Her smile was faded, her face gloomy as no shine of her pretty face. His heart clenched and fist tightened as he imagined that his Naina had married someone else. His eyes filled in rage, as if  he burn that person through his eyes. He withdraw his hand with force again and he successds in removing it as she loosen her grip to see his outraged.

Her soft voice reached his ear and he looked at her direction.

She said in a heavy voice "Sameer mai aap se shaadi karna chahati hu, aapke saath apni puri life jeena chahati hu, mujhe aap ke alawa koi nahi chahiye...Koi bhi nahi." As her face facing him, seeing his cold behaviour, a few tears dropped in her hand.

Sameer shut his eyes and a picture appeared in front of him. He saw his Nanaji blessed to Naina as she touched his feet. His heart reminded him that he took a promise to himself that he would fight everyone to bring his Naina into his life.

His heart reprimanded his mind "Sameer tum kaise apne promise se pichhe hat sakte ho, kya tumhara pyaar kamzor hai, jise koi bhi tod sakta hai. Tum apne pyaar ko pane ke liye fight nahi karoge...Uss din to kah rahe the sab se lad jaoge yanha tak ki bhagwan ji se bhi to phir aaj kya hua... Kya tum apni Naina ko iss situation me akela chhod doge, use protect nahi karoge...Usne to apna pyaar declare kar diya na ki vah tum se hi shaadi karna chahati hai, phir kyo bhag rahe ho apni Naina se, use bachao in sab se. Kya tum apni Naina ko kisi aur ki bahon me dekh paoge, batao."

"Nahi"

Sameer shouted with open his eyes.

"Kya nahi Sameer, please ek baar meri puri baat to sun lijiye uske baad lage ki mai galat hu to mai hamesha ke liye aapki zindagi se chali jaungi." She requested.

Sameer looked her tear sticken face and wiped her tears. He again hold her hand and said in politely "Naina mujhe puri baat batao."

Naina was narrating the whole matter. She told him that how taiji taunted her, how she used absurd word for her, how her chacha ji saved her from forced marriage. How her chachaji assured her that he would handled everything before she returned from Delhi. Sameer listened to her patiently.

"Sameer chachaji ne kaha hai wo sab sambhal lenge, rishta achchha hone par hi baat aage badayenge." She informed.

"Lekin rishta chachaji ko achha laga to, hum kya karenge Naina...Unhe to hamare baare me kuch nahi pata." He frightened as if chachaji liked the proposal.

"Agar aisa kuch hua to mai chachaji se baat karungi unhe hamare baare me batane ki koshish karungi." She answered with gathering courage to give him assurance but  she too scared from core of her heart.

"Chachaji maan jate hai to thik Naina, nahi to koi dusra rasta dekhenge." He reassured in gentle way as he sensed some fear on her face.

Naina hummed and again rested her head on his shoulder.

Sameer stroked her hair slowly "kitni ajeeb baat hai Naina... dekho na jab bhi maine tumhare paas jane ki koshish ki koi na koi hamare beech aa jata hai, kitna bad luck hai mera." He dejected.

"Sameer...Pahli baar to misunderstanding ho gayi thi Sunaina ki vajah se aur abhi, bas do baar hi hai Sameer, in sab me aap ka bad luck kahan se aaya." She consoled him.

"Farewell day ko mila ke chauthi baar hai..." He said and listening him, she shocked.

"Kya? ..Lekin kaise.... fairwell ke baad to hum aaj mil rahe hai." She was surprised to know that he had tried several times.

Sameer remembered the bad moment of farewell day.

Sameer and Munna rushed to receive a call from his house. After hearing the other side, he collapsed on the floor, the Munna immediately took the phone and was shocked to hear the information.

They both reached hospital to see his Nanaji who admitted in the hospital due to heart attack. After doctor advice Sameer decided to shift his Nanaji to Delhi.

He was busy arranging thing for shifting. He forgot to Naina as he was panicked to see his Nanaji condition. Two days later he went to his home for packing his and Nanaji clothes. He was packing  things when his eyes landed a book, he recalled Naina and decided something. He wrote a letter to Naina.

Dear Naina

Mai tumhara friend Sameer ye latter isliye likh raha hu ki tumhe apne dil ki baat bata saku. Naina mai nahi janta ki tumhare dil me mere liye kya feeling hai, par mai tumhe ab dost se badkar apne jeevan sathi ke rup me dekhana chahata hu...Naina mujhe nahi pata chala ki kab mai tumhe pasand karne laga, aur kab tum meri dil ki dhadkan ban gai, ...I love you Naina...

mai tumhe farewell pe propose karne wala tha par nanu ki tabiyat thik hani hone se chala gaya... Mujhe tumhare jawab ka intzaar rahega...agar tumhara jawab haa me ho to tum iss number pe call karna aur Kal mai tumhara mandir me wait karunga.

Your friend
Sameer

After writing the letter, he left for Naina House. He reached his house and found the bustling of his colony. He asked a man and he found out that her sister was engaged today, her eyes turned to her balcony where she was laughing with some girls. He called a little girl to reach the letter to Naina

"Tum uss ladki ko janti ho." Sameer asked while pointing to Naina.

"Ha Naina didi hai." She replied.

"Good...to ab tum ye wo Naina didi ko dena, mai tumhe chocolate dunga." He gave her a chocolate.

The girl agreed and ran towards Naina to hand over the letter. Naina grabbed the letter and she walked inside her room. Sameer saw all of these standing away.

After knowing the information she asked
"Kon sa letter Sameer mujhe to koi letter nahi mila tha." She confused.

"Par tumne to letter liya tha us ladki se maine khud dekha tha." He recalled.

Naina gave a pressure of her mind and she voiced "Ha... letter mila tha maine use sambhal kar rakha bhi tha lekin sagai ke baad wo letter mujhe kahi nahi mila."

"Kya?...Aur mujhe laga tumne letter padha aur tumhari na hai kyuki tumne na hi call kiya aur mandir aayi." He completed his side of his effort.

"Sorry Sameer sab meri galti thi mujhe turant padna chahiye tha." Naina apologized.

"Isme tumhari galti nahi mera luck kharab tha." He said in a low voice.

Sameer again continued "aur teesari baar jab Munna ki shaadi me aaya tha...Socha tum se mil leta hu, par jab tumhare ghar gaya to Preeti ki shaadi thi... aur phir tumhari taiji thi shayad unhe kahte suna."

He recalled that moment.

"Are Bina bahen bhadhai ho, ek beti ki shaadi ke saath dusre ka bhi rishta tay kar diya, suna hai ladka bahut achchha hai." One lady asked to Bina.

Samir heard all these things as that he was standing behind a pillar and was searching for someone who could ask about Naina.

"Ha Vimla bahen ladka bada guni hai khud ka ghar hai Vadodara me aur vahi ek company me CA hai, hamari Naina ke to bhag khul gaye... ladke ne khud Naina ko pasand kiya hai, jab Preeti ki sagai me aaya tha tab dekha tha...Damad ji ke mausi ka beta hai." Bina informed to her neighbor.

As soon as Sameer heard, his heart broke into pieces, but in any way he managed himself and left the place with teary eyes. His was disheartened as realised he had lost his Naina forever and she was going to be someone's wife soon.

"Naina uske baad maine kasam kha li ki kabhi mai Ahmedabad nahi aaunga, Ahmedabad se mujhe nafrat ho gayi thi, uss jagah ne mujhse meri Naina ko jhin liya tha." He became sad and a tear roll down on his cheek.

Naina wiped his tears and caress his back. Sameer immediately got up his place and kneeled down in front of her and holding her hands, he declared "Naina uss time mujhe tumhara pyaar pata nahi tha, isliye chala gaya tha, par ab mai pichhe nahi hatunga... phir chahe kitni bhi chunauti aaye, kisi se bhi ladna pade... tum ho na mere saath." He looked into her enchanted eyes.

"Mai hamesha aap ke saath hu, kabhi bhi aapse dur nahi jaungi." She gave him strength to fight for his love.

They remained in the same position and they felt the burden went off their hearts. As Sameer shared his effort for Naina and Naina felt relieved as she shared her fear of him.

"Naina mai tumhe yanha ki ek famous shopping place le ke chalata hu... chalo." He beamed.

"Nahi Sameer yahi rahte hai na...Mujhe kahi nahi jana." She frowned.

"Chalo to yahi paas me hi, aur sab ke liye bhi kuch le lena." He suggested.

Naina got up after Sameer and they both drove for Connaught Place. Naina saw that place with amazement. He saw small and large stalls on the road. He was surprised to see people bargaining. Sameer took him to some stall where there were decorative items. Naina took a windchime for her room as a sweet remembrance of Delhi. She pulled out her purse and wanted to give the price but Sameer stopped her and said "Naina tumhare liye meri taraf se gift samajh lo." Naina nodded in agreement and Sameer paid the rupees of windchime. After that they both explore some clothes and she brought a T - shirt for Pralay. They saw some jewelry and beauty items. Sameer select a jhumka for her but she refused to take it. Sameer made a face, but soon his face lit up in a million dollar smile when she took the jhumka in his hand.

They just wandered to check the different items, after some time she saw an icecream parlor and insisted on eating it. He was denied because they had eaten a plenty of ice cream after lunch. She was constantly requesting and he melted and agreed. They both enjoyed their most precious moment together.

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

"Sameer ghar chale bahut late ho gaya hai, Preeti tense ho jayegi." She worried as Preeti will be waiting for her.

"Naina tumse dur jane ka mann nahi kar raha hai, iske baad phir kab tumko dekh paunga." He turned sad.

They both sat inside the car and stared at each other with love filled eyes. They were holding each other's hands.

"Sameer ab hum kab mil payenge." After hearing Naina's words his heart wrenched and he did not want to let Naina go.

"To mat jao Naina." He pleaded but knew from the core of his heart, it was not possible.

"Sameer please aise mat bolo mai jaa nahi paungi." She felt that she became weak on hearing his request.

They were both looking at each other while capturing this beautiful moments. They both did not want their moment to end. They were lost in each other, but the loud sound of the car horn brought them out of their dream world.

"Chale." Naina said.

"Tumhe jee bhar ke dekh lene do iske baad jane kab milna ho." He said in a heavy voice.

"Ye mera mobile aur ghar ka number hai rakh lo, jab bhi mann kare baat kar lena...Ha aur tumhara bhi do, uski to sabse jyada zarurat padegi " He handed a visiting card to her.

"Kyo?" she puzzled.

"Kyo mujhse baat nahi karni kya? Mujhe to tumse baat kiye bina neend nahi aayegi." He smirked to see her cheek turned pink.

After 30 minutes, both arrived Preeti's society. As soon as she was coming out of the car, Samir held her hand. Naina looked at him with astonishment, Sameer requested "Please Naina five mintues aur baitho rahi aise hi, tumse nazare hata ne ko jee nahi karata, bas ye pal kabhi khatam na ho aur tum aise hi mere samne sari zindagi baithi raho." He said afectionately and a smile adored his face.

She felt his intense gaze on her face and she also smiled as saw his smiling face. "Mai bhi nahi chahati tum se dur hona, par jana padega... phir milne ke liye."

After a while thay both came out of the car, Naina walked few step ahead and halted her track, turning to see him. His heart clenched as her steps were moving away from him and smile dropping his face but soon his breath suddenly hitched  when he saw she was stopped and turned. A courage surged inside him and he immediately blew a kiss towards her. She blushed and waved her hand. She ran and once glanced at him when reached at the gate. He ruffled his hair until she disappeared from his sight. He sat down his car with gloomy face as he would not be able to see her after today and he left for his home.

All these exchanges of Sameer and Naina were seen by one person. Who noticed every single activity of them. Now their secret love was caught by someone.
