Munna was getting restless as Sameer was taking much time to get ready. Munna had ordered him to dress up in a casual outfit as they were going to meet a client at a restaurant. Sameer annoyed at him as to why he scheduled the meeting before the start of his wedding ceremony. As he had said to him one week earlier no meeting would schedule in this entire week.

"Sameer aur kitni der lagegi... Yahan hi dekh 7 se upar ho chuke hai... wo kya soch rahe honge ki kitne careless hai hum." Munna reprimanded him for being late.

"Tujhe kya zarurat thi aise meeting rakhane ki maine pahle hi mana kiya tha... wo bhi dinner... aur haan tu ye bata jab ye ek business dinner hai to casual dress kyo." Sameer grumbled.

Sameer dressed up a light pink shirt with blue denim trouser and he looked dashing. But the smile was not on his face as he had not able to meet Naina all week. Her bua dadi had strictly ordered them not meet before marriage.

He told Vishakha before leaving that he was going with Munna for an urgent meeting.

Sameer and Munna reached the restaurant at 8 pm. After parking the car they entered the restaurant and Munna headed open garden area, Sameer reluctantly followed him.

As soon as they reached the garden area, Munna made excuses and asked him to sit inside the garden. He also said that he would come back within a few minutes after inquiring about the client.

Sameer gave him exasperated look and moved ahead towards a vacant table. Suddenly his feet stopped, he looked at a person with amazement. He inspected the person as he was standing a few meter away. The person was his Naina who was sitting alone at a round table. When he was sure the person was Naina, he reached out to her in just a second. Now he was standing in front of his Naina. And he thought why Naina was in the restaurant at the dinner time and the most strange fact was that she was alone. He decided to ask her.

"Nainaaa." Sameer called her with unbelievable voice.

Naina gaped at him and blinking her eyes to make sure she was not dreaming. She lost in his deep black eyes as well as his look. She too thought the same way as Sameer. She mumbled. "Sameer iss time yahan kar rahe hai wo bhi akele... wo bhi itne handsome look me, agar office meeting hoti to aise casual dress thode na pahanate phir kiske saath aaye honge... puchhu kya... nahi... kahi gussa ho gaye to ki mai inki jasusi kar rahi hun."

And she looked at him who still staring her while standing. She offered him take a seat and he sat down opposite of her and asked with offensive look. "Naina tum yahan... iss time... akele."

She immediately alert by his question and reliped. "Mai akele nahi hun... Preeti aur jijaji ke saath aayi hun...Preeti ne dinner par aane ki jid ki thi."

Sameer relieved to know the fact. "Ohh... par wo dono dikh nahi rahe... Kahan hai."

"Abhi aa rahe hai kah kar gaye the... lekin... aap... yahan kaise." She hesitated before questioning him.

"Wo ek meeting hai Munna bhi hai saath me, bas aa raha hai." And he muttered under his breath. "Aur tumhare saath dinner karne ka chance bhi gaya aaj iss Munna ke chakkar me... kash wo meeting cancel ho jaye." Sameer silently prayed to God.

Other side Pandit along with Preeti met Munna on the reception. All laughed as their plan had successful.

"Sameer to Naina ko dekh kar hairan ho gaya hoga... kya surprise diya hai dono ko, unhe to yakin nahi ho raha hoga... soch rahe honge ye coincidence hai. Par ye to hamara plan tha unhe ek baar shaadi se pahle milane ka." Munna said with excitedly.

"Mujhe to un dono ka reaction dekhane ka bada mann ho raha hai chalo na andar chalate hai." Pandit was eager to see them.

"Are Pandit thoda Sameer ko pareshan to hone de mai use meeting ke bahane laya hun... haan ek kaam karte hai unhe chhup kar dekhate hai." Munna said with thinking something.

Preeti and Pandit agreed and the trio hid behind a pillar for watching them. They saw they were both silent. Munna hit his head on the pillar saying this. "Socha tha pyaar bhari baatein karenge par in dono ne to maun vart dharan kar rakha hai... lagta hai kuch jyada hi sadma lag gaya."

Seeing them quiet Preeti wanted to go to them but Pandit stopped her to wait for some time.

Both Sameer and Naina sat quietly remembering their last dinner date. Sameer wanted to tell her a lot of things but there was something that restricted him. Naina also wanted to hear him because he was sitting without saying anything but seeing his movement she felt his restlessness. Before she could ask anything, heard his voice.

"Naina... Deepika aur mummy se mili tum..." Sameer asked only it and be quiet again.

"Haan... Aapko bas yahi puchhana tha." And Sameer felt he lost of his words but why.

"Wo...Naina mujhe kuch dino se bahut restless feel hota hai hamari wedding ko lekar... pata nahi kyo aur phir tumne bhi milne se mana kar diya... to.." And tension formed on his handsome face.

"Mai kya karti Sameer bua dadi ne strictly kaha tha ki shaadi hone tak aapse na milu... mai kaise unki baat tal deti isliye aap ko mana kiya tha." She said with guilt and looking at his sullen face. "Kis baat ko lekar darte hai Sameer ab to chacha ji ko bhi sab bata diya hai aur unki bhi haan hai to phir ye dar kaisa."

"Pata nahi Naina... Samajh nahi aata kyo ye baichaini ho rahi hai... Isliye tumse milna chahata tha. Par tum tension mat lo mai thik hun...kal se to vaise bhi sare ritual start ho rahe hai... to shayad mind se ye dar nikal jayega." And Sameer changed the topic for avoiding further discussion on this matter. "Kitni der ho gayi hai ye Pandit aur Preeti abhi tak aaye kyo nahi, koi aise kisi ko akela chhod kar jata hai kya... agar mai nahi aata to tum aise akeli kitne time tak baithe rahti."

Just then Pandit and Preeti arrived and both of them made their faces as if surprised to see Sameer and asked Pandit. "Sameer tune kya surprise diya hai yaar.. par tu yahan kaise...kahi tum dono ki pahle se baat to nahi ho gai thi." And looked at Naina with confused face. "Naina tumne bulaya hai Sameer ko." Pandit said with surprise and teasing him further. "Aur tu kiske akele hone ki baat kar raha tha."

Naina tried to clear Pandit misconception.
"Nahi jija ji maine nahi bulaya... mujhe to pata.." but Sameer cut her between.

"Pandit teri bakwaas ho gayi to sun... mai yahan Munna ke saath meeting ke liye aaya hun... lekin tum dono kya kar rahe ho... aise khayal rakhate hai kisi ka... aadhe ghante se gayab ho yaar tum dono Naina ko yahan akela chhod kar...Ye hoti hai zimmedari." Sameer fumed of their careless. He was over protective to her and did not want anyone harmed her.

"Tu itni si baat par bhadak kyo rah hai... hum to bas... wo ek relative mil gaya tha use baat kar rahe the to thodi der ho gayi." Pandit wanted to give excuses for get late.

Preeti saw Sameer's anger and approached Naina for asking reason. She whispered on her ears. "Sameer itne gusse me kyo hai... Kahi tum dono ki ladai to nahi hui."

"Nahi... wo kisi baat se disturb hai." Naina replied.

Preeti sensed the situation went wrong direction and apologized. "Sorry jija ji... hame Naina ko akele chhod kar nahi jana chahiye tha."

Pandit looked at Preeti and she blinked her eyes for stop argument. Pandit also apologized.

"It's okay...tum sab enjoy karo mai chalata hun." And Sameer got up from the chair.

Everyone shocked by his strange behaviour. Pandit and Preeti looked each other as how would to stop him.

As Sameer had moved a few steps ahead, he heard Munna's voice. "Meeting yahan hai to tu jaa kaha raha hai...Sameer."

Sameer turned back shockingly and asked with confused face. "Par client hai kaha, yahan to koi bhi nahi hai."

"Client to yahan hai." Munna spoke pointed at Naina and a mischievous smile playing on his face.

Naina and Sameer both shocked and looked at Munna with daze. Sameer asked with annoyingly. "Kya matlab hai tera... aur Naina ki taraf kya ishara kar raha hai."

Munna kept a hand on his shoulder and said. "Mere topper dimag aashiq yahan koi meeting nahi hai... ye to mera aur Pandit ka plan tha tujhe Naina se milwane ka."

As Sameer dawned his meaning. "Mai tujhe chodunga nahi Munna... koi aisa mazak karta hai." And Munna ran way to escape from Sameer and Pandit followed them.

After some distance Munna stopped and Sameer hugged him. "Thank you yaar... par sale ek baar bata to deta...kam se kam mai pareshan to nahi rahta aur tujhe itni galiyan nahi deta."

"Dekha Pandit ye sila mila hai ise surprise dene ka... ek to galiyan suno aur upar se mahashay ka gussa bhi saho... chal Pandit hamara plan cancel kar dete hai...tu Naina aur Preeti ko lekar wapas ghar jaa aur mai bhi jaa raha hun." Munna showed a fake anger and dragged away Pandit from him.

Preeti and Naina saw them sitting on the chair and waited their return back. Naina asked about all plan to Preeti and she narrated her to everything which Pandit told her earlier.

"Achha to isliye tu mujhe achhe se ready hone ki jid kar rahi thi aur ye dress pahnane ko diya... pahle kyo nahi bataya." Naina hitted her arm with complaining.

"Madam surprise bata ke nahi diya jata.." Preeti winked and asked with smirking "vaise kaisa laga surprise... kash Swati bhi yahan hoti to college ke purane dino ki yaadein taza ho jati... nahi." Naina nodded her head in yes and looked at Sameer with loving gaze.

When Sameer saw them going away, he apologized. "Sorry yaar... tum dono to jante ho na mere gusse ko... phir bhi... agar tum jana chahate ho to.. jao tum dono, aakhir mera apna hai hi koun yahan." Sameer said making a innocent face. As he knew they were planned for only his happiness and he know their anger was fake.

Munna and Pandit turned back and hugged him. "Tujhe na achhe se pata hai kaise hame blackmail karna hai." Munna complained after parted away.

Sameer answered with moistened eyes. "Tum dono sirf kahne ke liye best friends nahi ho tum dono to mere jaan ho.. mere har kathin samay me mera saath diya hai... khaskar Munna tune to mere liye mere pariwar se bhi badkar kiya hai... har samay tujhe mere saath khada hua pata hun."

"Chal ab jyada emotional mat kar aur ye dinner meri pyari sali ji ke saath enjoy kar." Pandit said for changing the situation.

"Vaise tum logon ka plan kya hai." Sameer asked with interestingly.

"Ye na mera plan tha." Pandit said in a joyous voice.

"Ha... haan tera plan tha ab bata kya hai." Munna supported him with smile.

Pandit explained. "Wo maine aur Munna ne socha tha teri shaadi ki khushi me hum teeno dost mast party karenge..."

Sameer interrupted him. "Salon tum dono ne kahi peene pilane wali party to plan nahi ki hai... wo bhi Naina aur Preeti ke saath.... Pandit tera to pata nahi par lagta hai tum dono mera ghar basne se pahle hi ujaad doge... kamino agar aisi hi party karni thi to Naina aur Preeti ko kyo bulaya. Vaise Ahemdabad me to ye bann hai phir kaha se jugad kiya."

"Teri vajah se bulaya." Munna irritated.

"Meri vajah se." Sameer perplexed.

"Haan teri vajah se." Pandit said while glaring him. "Aur nahi to kya pichhale kuch dino se roj sham ko tera latka hua chehara dekhate the ... phir Munna aur maine akele party karne ka plan cancel kar naya plan banaya...jis se ki tujhe kaise Naina se mila sake aur ye dinner ke baare me socha... lekin agar pata hota tu drink ke baare me sun kar Naina ko bhi bhul jayega to hum plan cancel hi nahi karte." He said with exhilaration and was about to spread his arms to hug him but stopped hearing his sharp voice.

"Chup kar Pandit...Naina mere liye sab kuch hai... aur khabardar jo kisi ne bhi drink ki baat Naina ke samne ki... ab chalo dono hamara intezaar kar rahi hain." Sameer warned them before going to the girls.

"Dekh raha hai ponga kaise drink ka naam sun ke kuch der pahle Naina ko bhul gaya tha aur ab achanak se aashiqui jag uthi aur kaise apni Naina se milne ke liye tadap raha hai... chal jaldi nahi to ye hame yahi zinda gaad dega." Munna teased Sameer and received a deathly glare from him.

"Mai koi drinker nahi hun tumhari tarah...haan kabhi kabhi ek peg le leta hun par abhi to kai solon se nahi liya hai..." Sameer scowled.

They trio reached the girls. Sameer seated next to Naina and their opposite side Preeti and Pandit and Munna sat down between Sameer and Pandit.

"To ho gaya aap logo ka bharat milap... thodi jaldi nahi aa gaye aap log." Preeti chided them.

"Preeti wo Sameer na Munna se bahut gussa tha use kitna manana pada... tum khud Munna se puch lo, hai na Munna." Pandit looked at Munna with pleading face.

"Haan Preeti...Ye na ek baar gussa ho jaye to manana mushkil hai... mai to ye soch raha hun ki Naina ise kaise jhelegi." And Munna received deathly glare from Sameer again for making Naina scare.

Munna immediately changed the topic. "Preeti ye sab chhodo aur jaldi se khana order karo, mujhe to bahut bhookh lagi hai... iske baad law garden bhi jana hai... vahan icecream ka plan hai... hai na mast plan." And leaned to Sameer and muttered. "Jahan tu Naina ke saath akele icecream khana pyaar bhari baatein karte huye."

Sameer blushed to think spending some romantic time with Naina and Preeti's loud voice bring him back to the present.

"Jinke liye dinner rakha hai aaj vahi dono order karenge." Preeti declared and Naina cheeks turned red. Seeing it Preeti teased her. "Ohh madam sharmana chhod aur order kar... lagta hai tu to mere husband ko bhukha hi maar degi..."

All brust out of the laugh except Pandit who glaring at Preeti, seeing him Preeti laughter stopped. Then Pandit laughed saying this. "Ye hota hai sachcha pyaar." And he wrapped his arms around her shoulder and this time Preeti cheeks turned red. Naina gave her teasing look.

"Aaj ka pura order Naina karegi wo bhi apni pasand se... chalo jaldi se karo." Sameer said lovingly and called a waiter for give order.

Naina denied as how she could order for everyone, she did not know what they all wanted to eat. But everyone urged her that she finally ordered food of everyone's choice as she had known everyone's choice except Munna.

She apologised to Munna for this. "Maine sabhi ki favourite dishes order kari hai sivay Munna aapke kyonki mujhe aap ka favourite dish nahi pata hai... sorry."

"Sorry kyo Naina...Sameer ne pahle hi kaha hai khana tum apni pasand ka order karo... aur aaj isi bahane mujhe meri bhabhi ki pasand ka khana khane ko milega." Munna eased her nervousness as she nervous for not order to his choice. Sameer felt much happiness heard bhabhi words for his Naina.

After ordering, Sameer engrossed talking with Pandit and Munna, and Naina with Preeti. After a while Naina felt a soft touch on her hands and she looked at her hands and found he hold her hand tightly. Her breath hitched and raised her face to see him but surprised, his focus on the Munna even his thumbs caressing her palm gently. She stared at him forgetting everyone. She lost in his face as she fascinated and observing every single change on his face when he talked.

Her trance was broken when the waiter placed their food on the table and Sameer called out her Name. She instantly saw their hands and Sameer followed her gaze and smirked.

He lowered his head to her ear and whispered. "Sirf teen din Naina... phir tum jitna chaho utna mujhe dekh sakti ho."

She slightly pushed him and served food for herself while hiding her blush as everyone took out the food for own. They all started the food with Pandit's joke and everyone was busy relishing the food. He found a best opportunity and feed a morsel to Naina from his plate. Then Munna's was catch a glimpse of them and gestured Pandit to see it. When Sameer raised his face, he embarrassed as his friends stared him. He felt more embarrassed to hear Munna comment.

"Sameer tu laga rah apne kam par...humne kuch nahi dekha aur agar tujhe privacy chahiye to hum aankhen band kar lete hai... hai na Pandit." Munna teased them for friendly way.

Pandit closed his eyes from his palm and peeped them through between fingers. Preeti scolded him to behave normal and teasing them. After it Naina did not courage to lift her face and Sameer also felt shy.

After some moments again situation normal and this time everyone ate silently. Then Naina ate a chilli by mistakenly which started burning her mouth and tears flowed down on her cheek. Sameer immediately made her drink a glass of water but nothing worked. Then he looked around to call a waiter and found a waiter carrying a glass of juice for a customer. He called him to him and he grabbed a juice glass and gave it to Naina for drink, without listening his protest. "Sir ye dusre customer ki special juice hai... Please sir."

"Juice hi hai koi special drink nahi... jao dusri le jana." Sameer said carelessly to focusing Naina and waiter looked him irritatedingly and left there.

Naina drank one sip and said. "Sameer ye kadwi hai. Mujhe nahi peena."

But Sameer insisted. "Piyo gi nahi to mirchi ki jalan kaise thik hogi... pura finish karo." He ordered strictly.

Naina was making a face and left half glass juice. Sameer glared her childish behaviour and all again busy to their food for finishing. Once their dinner finished, Sameer called out a waiter for bill. He insisted pay the bill as Munna and Pandit wanted to pay... for their according they made a plan so it's rights to them. After much argument Sameer give up and Munna and Pandit both paid the bill. Munna suggested them to go to law garden for icecream. Preeti was happy to know their planning and she looked at Naina.

She immediately shook her shoulder taking her name and Sameer turned his face to see her. As Naina head lowered on the table. Sameer lifted her head and they all shocked to see red her eyes.

Naina said looking at Preeti. "Preeti mera sar ghoom raha hai." Then she saw Sameer. "Aur aisa lag raha hai jaise mai hawa me ud rahi hun."

Before anyone comprehended her situation, she got up pushing her chair and she was twirling to spread her both hands. Everyone stunned to see her strange behaviour. After back sensed Preeti reach to her for stopping but she started making twirl her too.

"Are abhi to achhi thi ise kya ho gaya... Aisi bachho jaisi harkat kyo kar rahi hai." Pandit said with open mouth.

"Kahi ise nasha to nahi chad gaya." Munna said casually.

Sameer looked at them with rage. "Kahi tum dono ne drink to nahi magayi thi apne liye aur Naina ne wo galti se pee liya hoga."

Pandit and Munna both offended by his talk. "Sameer hum itne bhi gire huye nahi hai... ki Naina aur Preeti ke samne piye. Haan hamne plan banaya tha par tab jab hum sirf teeno hote... Samajha."

Sameer panicked then why was she behaving like a intoxicated person. And suddenly something clicked his mind, he smelled the juice and scrunched his nose then drank the juice a sip and his every confusion cleared but horrified to see Naina.

"Iss... juice me.. to bear hai." Hearing Sameer information Mundit got tensed and scolded him. "Khud hi pilayi hai aur hame abhi dhant raha tha... bechari to pahle hi kadwi hai kah rahi thi lekin nahi... use pura glass khatam karwana tha tujhe."

"Mujhe thode na sapna aaya tha ki isme sharab mili hogi..." And he looked around for searching the waiter. "Mai us waiter ko chodunga nahi uski himmat kaise hui Naina ko drink wali juice dene ki." He infuriated.

Seeing his anger Munna stopped him and pacify. "Kya hoga iss se Naina normal ho jayegi nahi na.. balki sab ke samne uska mazak ban jayega... aur us waiter ne mana bhi kiya tha par tune uski kahan suni... ab hame ye sochana hai ki aage kya kare... dekh sabki nazarein Naina par hi hai."

"Haan yaar tu sahi kah raha hai ye matter to mai baad me handle kar lunga, abhi mere liye Naina important hai...use to bahut chad gayi hai... ek kaam karte hai hum sidhe ghar hi chalate hai." Sameer planned to go back home to see Naina state because it was safe for her.

But Preeti shivered thinking how her family members would react after seeing her in this condition. She objected while glancing back to Naina who was jumping like a kid. "Nahi... hum Naina ko iss condition me ghar nahi le jaa sakte, sab ko pata chala to khair nahi aur taiji to tufan macha dengi."

Pandit offered something. "Hum na sab ke sone ke baad ghar jaye to kisi ko pata bhi nahi chalega." Preeti liked his idea and agreed with him.

Then Sameer said everyone first they would go to out of restaurant after that thinking what would they. Sameer went to Naina for supporting her.

Before he could lead her towards the gate, Naina clapped and jumping like a mad. Everyone attention went to them. Sameer tried to out of her there.

"Sameer dekhiye na yahan snow fall ho raha hai. Mujhe iss snow fall me khelna hai." Naina said while catching something.

"Naina chalo yahan koi snow fall nahi ho raha... chalo yahan se." Sameer ordered her strictly as all eyes over her.

Naina flinched of his sharp tone and headed to gate with him as he had wrapped his arms around her, heard her mumbling. "Jab dekho tab dhant dete hai aur gussa karte hai, ye nahi ki pyaar se baat kare... juice kitni kadwi thi phir bhi pilaya... huh." Sameer chuckled to see her puffed cheeks and her sweetest look.

Once they reached parking Sameer made her sit in his car. He discussed now what they would do. Munna suggested they would go to law garden and spent some time there. When their family would go sleep then go back to home.

Sameer liked his idea and said Munna to go with Pandit and Preeti. But Preeti insisted to go with Naina. Pandit whispered on her ears. "Samjha karo Preeti kuch to privacy do aur Sameer koi gair nahi hai dono ki shaadi hone wali hai... vah Naina ka achhe se dhayan rakhega." Preeti agreed reluctantly and sat with Pandit at passenger seat. Munna sat down back seat.

Naina was offending for taking so much time to start the car. She tapped window for gaining Sameer attention. As he was leaning on her side window. He saw Naina displeasing face, immediately sat down driving seat and started the car, then Naina shouted like a kid.

Naina looked outside from window with sparkling eyes and Sameer glanced her thrilled face with his wide smile while driving. Suddenly she screamed. "Sameer car rokiye."

He applied the break at sudden that they both leaned forward and their head touched hit the front. He worriedly asked her if she injured somewhere but she smiled and opened the gate of the car. Before he could understand she ran out of the car. He panicked to see her as he stopped the car side of the road and she ran towards the road.

He immediately out of car and ran behind her for stopping. "Naina ruk jao... aise road par nahi bhagate, tumhe chot lag jaayegi... kisi gadi se takra jaogi... Please ruk jao."

"Kitna maza aa raha hai aise lag raha hai jaise mai ud rahi hun... aap bhi meri tarah bahen phaila kar bhagiye Sameer phir aap bhi udne lagenge." Naina was running empty road of zig zag manner. One or two vehicle had crossed them. Sameer was stopping her for running like this on the road it's was dangerous.

But she did not listening him and continued running, Sameer tried to stopping her several time. She was fuming just because he did not allowed her to run on the road and she ran away, freeing his hand. Sameer looked at her with helplessness. And suddenly a car started coming towords her fastly. Seeing it Sameer terrified and pulled her side of the road with jerk. He took her in his embrace.

His heart was hammering due to fear and to think of result. After a while he parted her from him and lost in her messy look. Her long silky hair covered her face. He gently pushed aside her long hair from her pretty face and couldn't stop himself for kissing her forehead to see her innocence.

She opened her eyes feeling warmth on her face as her eyes were close. She looked at him with love and said innocently. "Sameer aur udna hai kitna maza aa raha tha... aap ne kyo rok diya." She puffed her face.

He frustrated by her behaviour and shouted at her. "Chup bilkul chup... ab tum kuch nahi bologi... aur mai jaisa kahunga vaise hi karogi samajhi." And he grabbed her hand, took her to the car and put her in the passenger seat. Then he too sat in the car.

Then he ordered her in an authoretitve voice. "Ab chupchap car me hi baithana... yahan se bilkul bahar mat jana... jab tak mai na kahun." She nodded her head like a obedient child.

When he started the car, heard her muttering and tried to understand her unclear words. He understood a few words that made him more irritate. "Kya badbada rahi ho Naina... saaf saaf kaho na."

Her eyes threw a dagger at him, which frightened him, and then he listened to her. "Aap na bahut bure hai... bilkul taiji ki tarah, kuch bhi karne nahi dete hamesh tokte rahte hai aur dhantte bhi hai. Koi mujhse pyaar nahi karta... aap bhi nahi, sirf Preeti hi karti hai..." He was shocked to know what was going on in her mind and what she thought about him.

"Jab mai choti thi taiji mujhse bahut sara kaam karwati thi mere haath dukhne lagte the, tab Preeti mere hatho ki tel se massage karti thi... papa choti si galti ho jane par thappad mar dete the, tab bhi Preeti hi mere gaal me cream lagati thi thappad ka nishan chhupane ke liye... aur aaj jab khul kar udne ka mann kar raha hai to aap bhi papa aur taiji ki tarah dhant rahe hai... mujhe aap se baat hi nahi karni." Hearing her painful memories, he melted and was stunned that she had not yet forgotten her childhood memory. He wondered if it still scared her.

And he looked at her pout face and promised himself. "Naina mai wada karta hun hamari marriage ke baad tum wo sab kar sakti ho jo tumhara dil kare. Tumhe koi nahi rokega yahan tak ki mai bhi nahi rokunga... Tumhare bachapan ki sari kadwi yadoon ko tumhare dil se nikal kar uski jagah achhi yadein bhar dunga... ye mera apne aap se wada hai meri Naina ke liye."

Then he turned her face to him. He raised her both hands to his lips without let out his gaze from her deep eyes and gave it several kisses inner and outer both palm of her. "Ye meri Naina ki hatho ke dard ka marham hai... jo use pahle mai nahi laga paya tha." And caressed her cheeks softly from his fingers as he wanted to kiss her both cheek but restricted his desire because she was not her senses and he felt thar it was not appropriate.

And he cupped her face and said with much affection. "Listen Naina you are my life...So how could I scold you... aur ye baat phir kabhi mat kahna ki mai tumse pyaar nahi karta... tumhare bina ye Sameer kuch nahi hai."

Naina wrapped her arm around his neck and murmured. "You are so sweet."

When they both reached the law garden, Preeti barge out of question to him for coming late. He explained Naina's road adventures, how to tackle her and how he saved her from the accident. Everyone regretted both of them as they had thought Sameer and Naina would spend some time and make beautiful memory before wedding but it was ruined.

"Chale ab andar baith kar intezaar karte hai 11 bajne ka, abhi pure ek ghanta se upar ka time hai... vaise Preeti tumne ghar pe call kar diya tha na ki we tum longo ka intezaar na kare." Sameer asked concernly.

"Haa maine kar diya tha...lekin Naina kaha hai." Preeti asked looking around.

"Yahi car me baithi hai." Everyone reached on the car but their face horrified as Naina was not in the car.

Sameer panicked and said in a fearful voice. "Ab phir se kaha chali gayi...hume jaldi dhundhna hoga iss se pahle ki phir se road ki taraf na chali jaye."

He glanced all around and relieved to see her. Naina was about to catch a firefly and running behind it in the garden. "Pata nahi ise kitna udna hai, restaurant se lekar yahan tak bas ud hi rahi hai. Munna Pandit kis ghadi me tum logon ne plan banaya tha." He said while slapping his own head. "Tum sab chalo icecream order karo mai Naina ko leke aata hun."

But Preeti stopped him saying. "Jijaji aap in dono ke saath jaiye mai Naina ko sambhal lungi aur use le kar aati hun."

"Are you sure tum handle kar logi." Sameer wanted to be confirm. As he knew it would be very difficult for her to handle Naina, yet he allowed. Since she was her sister and had the right to take care of her.

"Haan jijaji kya mai apni bahan ko sambhal nahi sakungi aap befikar rahiye." And Preeti hurridly went to Naina.

Preeti held Naina hands and made sit her on the bench. But Naina got up instantly and getting angry. "Preeti dekh na ye firefly mai pakad nahi paa rahi hun ye dur bhag jati jab bhi paas jati hun please tu pakad dena mere liye please... mai iski chamak apne hatho me dekhana chahati hun."

Preeti tried to take her where Sameer, Munna and Pandit sitting, but she was adamant for catching firefly. And even without wanting, Preeti tried to catch it but misery she failed everytime. She pissed off of her continuous insisting. She grabbed her hands and dragging to her where everyone seated.

Sameer tensely waited both and got up seeing them. He disappointed to see her crying face. He went to Naina and asked. "Tum ro kyo rahi ho."

"Wo mujhe firefly chahiye aur Preeti use pakdane ki jagah mujhe yahan le aayi... kitna dhanta bhi... bilkul taiji ki tarah." She complained like a child.

Preeti looked at Naina with dejected and said to Sameer. "Jija ji aap hi ise sambhaliye mujhse to sambhal hi nahi rahi... kitna jid karti hai use jo chahiye matlab chahiye ye to bilkul ek alag hi Naina hai...mujhe to bhaga bhaga ke thaka diya ab mujhme iske piche bhagne ki energy nahi bachi... " She sat down on the bench tired.

Sameer gave his friends a faded smile and made sat on the bench to Naina. He offered a icecream box to her but her mind strucked at the firefly. "Please Sameer mujhe wo chahiye... aap mere liye pakdiye na."

He tried to understand her that it was not a good to catch a small creature for own happiness, that it had own life. Naina answered she just wants to feel it on her palm and wanted to see how it light up.

Seeing her adamantly behaviour, he offered her something interesting. "Mai tumhe firefly se bhi achhi cheez dikhaunga..."

Naina agreed without arguing and Sameer holding a icecream box strolled towards his car. They both sat in the car.

Pandit and Munna felt guilty to see their retreating figures and they both were cursing himself. Pandit said with guilt. "Na mai aisa koi plan banata na aaj Naina aise halat me hoti... kahan hum dono ko khushiyon dene chale the aur kya ho gaya."

Munna said in a heavy voice. "Sameer ke liye din yadagar banana chahate the lekin kya bana diya, uske chehare ki muskan hi chali gayi hai phir bhi hum dukhi na ho isliye muskura raha hai... use ye din hamesha ek kharab din ke rup me yaad rahega... hum inhe paas lane ke chakkar me inke beech duriyan na laa de."

"Aap dono ne ye sab janbujhkar thode na kiya hai... ye to galti se ho gaya hai isme aap dono ki koi galti nahi... aap ne achhe neeyat se sab plan kiya tha aur jija ji samjhdaar hain unke beech duriyan nahi aayegi... mujhe to aap dono par proud hai ki aap apne dost ke baare me itna sochate hai, aaj ke time me koi itna nahi karta... jitna aap ne kiya hai Munna." Preeti said so that their guilt would be removed from their heart.

Sameer firstly dimmed the light then started the redio. As soon as the song played they both got lost in each other's eyes. His eyes went to the ice cream when the song ended. He realized it would melt if they did not eat it.

He fed her ice cream with lovingly. She too fed him. After finished ice cream Naina ask his surprise and Sameer fetched out a tiny blub in the side drawer. It had a button to turn it on and off on one side. He showed it to her by turning it on and off. She was overjoyed to see this and clapped loudly. It was burning with glittering yellow and red lights alternately. Then she took it in her hands and started playing with it. Sameer kept looking at her innocent smile with loving gaze and recalled, when he visited a mall in Delhi last time he was fascinated to see it.

As Naina was delighted by his surprise, hugged him tightly. Then she cupped his face and kissed firstly on his forehead. He closed his eyes to feel her soft petal. Then she downed and kissed both his eyelid and his both cheeks one by one. A contented smile playing on his lips to feel her soft touch on his face. He opened his eyes when did not feel her warmth. He found her eyes fixed on his lips and she was decreasing their distance as just a few inch away their lips. He was lost in her deep eyes and forgot the situation just for a second. She about to kiss his lips but sudden he placed his palm on her lips and her lips touched his palm. He had deliberately done this as he knew she was doing all thing out of intoxication. And when she comes back to her senses, she will be regret for herself doing this. He didn't even want it, she misunderstood him that he took advantage of her state.

An hour later, they all reached the Nirmal Jyoti Society. At first Preeti went inside the house to check if everyone was asleep or not. When she was sure he gestured to Pandit to bring Naina upstairs. Pandit was amazed, Naina was sleeping clutching Sameer's arm. Pandit grabbed Naina's hand softly and tried to drag her out of the car, but her hold on Sameer's arm was strong. So Sameer reluctantly loosened her grip on his arm and shook her for waking up. Pandit helped her to come out of the car, as her eyes were half open. After coming out of the car, she looked at Sameer who stood beside her. She made a cute face and hugged him before leaving with Pandit.

Pandit slowly headed the stairs holding her body. As they both climbed the stairs Pandit stumbled slightly. Sameer immediately approached them and helped Pandit reach the first floor by wrapping his arms around her back. When she reached the door safely, he was about to leave but she held his hand and leaned on his chest while closing of her eyes.

Preeti came to the door and instructed Pandit take her to the room quickly, but she too was surprised, Naina had hugged Sameer tightly and he had wrapped his arms around her for protecting. Seeing no effort leaving him by her, Sameer slowly took her to her room so that no one could get up. He laid her on the bed, patted her head and began to remove his hand from her grip but same time he heard her muttering. "Please mujhe chhod kar mat jaiye..., mujhe aapke saath rahna hai Sameer."

And Sameer innerself was out of control hearing her continuous request and he muttered under his breath. "mere liye bhi tumse dur rahna mushkil hai Naina... lekin tum aise karogi to mai apne aapko nahi rok paunga... Please mere liye tumse dur rahna aur mushkil mat banao... bas kuch din phir hum saath honge."

He kissed her forehead delicately before leaving her room. Soon she drifted into sleep. After saying goodbye to Pandit and Preeti, he left for home with Munna.

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

When Sameer reached home after dropping Munna his house. He was surprised to see the person who waited for him in the drawing room. It was his mami ji Prabha Maheshwari. He touched her feet and received a blessing from her.

But the same time he heard objecting words for coming late in the night. "Sameer beta aise itni der raat tak kaun si meeting chalati hai... kabhi to maine tere mamaji aur Devang ko itni raat meeting karte nahi dekha... Ya ho sakta hai ki tum dilli walo ki alag meeting chalati hogi der raat tak." Prabha taunted him. She was sitting with Vishakha.

Sameer was making a face for avoiding further taunt looking his mother and Vishakha gave him a helpless look. Then he changed the topic and asked her with sweetest voice. "Mami ji aap akeli aayi hai... mama ji nahi aaye aur aap ki tabiyat kaisi hai ab."

"Tere mama ji so rahe hai, unhone kitna intezaar kiya tera par tujhe uss Munna ke saath masti karne se fursat mile tab na...Sameer tu baat ko taal mat...kaha tha itni raat tak." Prabha was adamant to know where was he and why they held meeting in late night.

"Mamaji wo sach me ek important meeting thi... aaj sham ko urgent me rakhani padi." Sameer gave her a excuses.

"Chup kar bahane banana... sab pata hai mujhe." Prabha shut his mouth.

She was much interfere anyone life specially Sameer life so he always tried to escape her. She had wanted him to get married, when his Nanaji health deteriorated, she always had made to understand him that the house now needed a daughter-in-law who could take care of him, his Nanaji as well as the house.

But Sameer had not interested of her such offers. After seeing he had no willing to marry she always taunted him hoping that one day he would agree to marry. Whereas she cared him genuinely, she wanted his life to be beautiful and full of happiness but her way was strict to show her feeling towards him.

"Vishakha didi ne bataya ladki hamari taraf unche khandan ki nahi hai par sanskari hai... chalo achha hai...aakhir me tumne apne mummy papa ki pasand ki ladki ko to haa kaha, varna mai to dar rahi thi kisi dini tum aise ladki ko hamare samne le aao jo hamare dharm ki na ho aur jid pakad lo ki mujhe isi se shaadi karni hai... jiddi to tum bachapan se hi ho... Ye ladki kam se kam marwadi to hai... use hamare riti riwaj to pata hi honge." Prabha said looking at him. Sameer was irritate of her narrow minded nature and frightened, if she didn't like Naina.

As she much believed in custom and worship. She was not in favour of love marriage. So Vishakha told her that Sameer's friends had suggested Naina name and they liked Naina seeing her simple nature and cultured behavior.

"Sameer jao upar apne kamare me... kal haldi hai to jaldi so jana." Vishakha ordered him, for avoiding hear further comment of his wedding and Naina.

After changing his night suit he lay down on the bed and called Pandit for knowing Naina condition before sleeping. When he knew Naina sleeping peacefully he too drifted into asleep while watching a dream.
