Naina was taking all the blame on herself for Sameer decision to stay Ahmedabad and felt guilty for separating a mother and son. Seeing her miserable condition, he finally opened his mouth as he could not bear it, that she blamed herself even though it was not her fault.

"Naina maine ye decision sirf tumhare ya sirf meri khushi ke liye nahi balki hum dono ke liye liya hai... hamare rishtey ke liye, hamare ek behatar future ke liye, hamare pyaar ko gahra karne ke liye ... aur sabse important hamare rishtey ko buri nazaron se bachane ke liye liya hai... tum iss sab ke liye apne aap ko blame mat karo... tum mujhe aur mummy ko alag nahi kar rahi... shayad meri kismat me hi mummy ka saath nahi likha hai." He said in a heavy voice.

"Matlab!!!" She looked at him with shock and felt a pain in his voice.

And Sameer told the reason that happened before their marriage which scared him terribly.

One night before coming to Ahmedabad for his wedding, he was going to the terrace. As he had passed through Dadi's room, his track stopped after hearing his name from her room. He peeped into the room and found, she was talking to someone.

"Ye Sameer yahan se jane ka naam hi nahi le raha hai... aur ab to shaadi ke baad bhi yahi rahne wala hai." Dadi was telling someone.

And she listened other side suggestion and replied again to the someone.

"Sulekha tu jo kah rahi hai wo mai sab samajh rahi hun... lekin mai mana nahi kar sakti, ab to Vivek bhi pahle ki tarah meri baat nahi sunta. Aur Rohan ka room, Sameer ko dene ka faisala bhi vivek hi hai... wo to mera room dena chahata tha, par maine mana kar diya... to ye mera pota Rohan wo taiyaar ho gaya... pata nahi iss Sameer ne sab pe kya jaadu kar diya hai."

Hearing the person name Sameer came to know she was talking with her sister.

"Tu dekhana ab mai kya karti hun... use jitna rahna hai na iss ghar me rah le aur mere Rohan ki jagah cheen le... mai bhi dekhati hun mere pote ki jagah lekar kaise khush rahta hai. Tujhe to pata hai bachpan me use iss ghar se dur karne ke liye kya kya nahi kiya tha... Ab mujhe mere Rohan ka hak dilane ke liye kuch to karna hi padega.

Wo kya soch raha hai ki yahan aaram se apni middle class patni ke saath rahega aur apni shaadi shuda zindagi ki khushiyan manayega. Aur mera Rohan uss chote se room me ghuthata rahega...Kabhi nahi. Maine agar uski zindagi se khushiyan nahi cheeni to mera naam bhi Kalyani nahi... aur Kalyani kabhi kisi bahar wale ko apne bachho ka haq cheenne nahi degi.

Aa jane do use apni patni ke saath... dekhate hai kitne dino tak unki shaadi tikati hai. Love marriage kar raha hai na...wo bhi ek middle class ladki se... Kaise adjust karegi wo ladki iss ghar me, hamari life style me aur hamare high class society me. Kabhi na kabhi uss se galti to hogi agar nahi hui to mai karwaungi aur phir Sameer kab tak uski galtiyan sudharata rahega aur use samajhata rahega .... ek din khud wo uss ladki ko chhodne par mazboor ho jaayega...Agar aisa nahi hua to mai hun dekhana unki shaadi ko jyada din tikane nahi dungi."

Sameer had frozen on his place knowing her plan, that she was ready to break up his marriage just a small thing. He heard her voice again.

"Achha tumhe lagta hai mai galat kar rahi hun... to wo Sameer kya kar raha hai, kya use samajh nahi hai ki wo iss ghar ka member nahi hai, kyo mere Rohan ki jagah lene par tula hai... uske Nana ji ka ghar hai aur unki puri jayadad uski hai... to phir kyo yahan rahta hai... Ahmedabad jakar rahe na apne nana ji ke ghar, phir mujhe uss se koi pareshani nahi hai chahe wo kaise bhi zindagi jiye... bas mere bachho ka haq na cheene."

And Sameer immediately left the place before she could see him.

"Naina ye sunne ke baad mai puri tarah se dar gaya tha ki koi kaise itni choti si baat ke liye kisi ki life barbad kar sakta hai aur kahi dadi ne sach me tumhe mujhse dur kar diya to.....phir maine terrace par jakar nanu se bahut shikaayat ki, wo kyo mujhe akela chhod kar chale gaye...maine socha ki kya mai sach me iss pariwar ka sadasay nahi hun, vahan meri koi zarurat nahi hai... mai unke liye ek bahar wala hun.

Mai to Delhi me sirf Mummy ki vajah se rahta tha Naina... mera koi irada nahi tha kisi ki jagah lene ka... mujhe kabhi somani ki property nahi chahiye thi na hi unke ghar rahne ki koi iraada tha, wo to nanu ke jaane ke baad situation hi aisi ho gayi ki mujhe vahan rahna pada...phir jab Mummy ka pyaar paya to unse dur jane ka dil nahi kiya. Aur phir Deepika aur Rohan se bhi bonding achhi ho gayi thi to unki khushi ke liye rahne laga." His voice was choked at last and he paused for a while then he continued again.

"Maine usi din Ahmedabad baad me rahne ke baare me socha zarur tha par sure nahi tha apne iss decision par... Kyonki mummy ki khushi mujhe kamzor kar rahi thi ye decision lene par. Lekin pichhle dino bahut kuch aisa maine dekha aur suna ki mujhe ye decision lena pada..."

And he held her shoulder and turned her face to him. "Naina tum mere ye decision lene ka reason nahi ho balki koi aur hai... meri so called sauteli dadi, jise mai phuti aankh nahi suhata."

Naina was feeling guilty for bursting out at him and hugged him tightly. "I am sorry Sameer maine aapko galat samajh kar bahut kuch suna diya... aapki situation samajhe bina." Sameer stroked her hair on the back and breaking their embrace, held her face with both his palms.

"Tum kyo sorry ho?... Tumhari koi galti nahi hai." And he kissed her forehead.

"Sameer ab jab hame unki sari planning pata hai, to hum vahan rah kar dadi ji ko galat sabit bhi to kar sakte hai... ki wo kitni bhi chal chale hum alag nahi honge." Naina suggested.

"Naina mai koi chance nahi lena chahata tha... wo bahut tez hai, tum unhe nahi janti. Mai apni life me bahut logo ko kho chuka hun aur ab mai tumhe kisi ki keemat par nahi kho sakta... vaise bhi meri life me bahut kam rishtey hai aur mai hamara rishtaa tutna afford nahi kar sakta Naina....Aur phir Nanu ka bhi sapna tha ki unki bahu yani tum iss ghar me raho... to ye maan lo hum unka sapna pura kar rahe hai." Sameer smiled through pain, it was visible in his deep eyes.

"Sameer agar aao ki khushi isi me hai to hum yahin rahenge... par kya Mummy ji aur baki sab ko pata hai aapka decision." She asked.

"Sirf Mummy ko pata hai aur jab unhe bataya tha bahut dukhi ho gayi thi... lekin baad me samajh gayi... wo baki sab ko samajha dengi." Sameer normally said.

"Sameer aapki dadi ki tarah meri taiji bhi hai jiski nazaron me mai manhoos hun." Naina became gloomy and her face downed to remember her painful days.

Seeing Naina dejected, he tried to lighten her mood. "Naina tumhe lagta hai sirf tumhari taiji hi buri hai lekin aisa nahi hai meri sauteli dadi bhi kisi chudail se kam nahi hai."

"Chudail." She giggled.

"Ha to chudail hi to hai... jinhe sirf longo ko pareshan karna aata hai." He said in a joking way.

Then Sameer eyes went on the bed which was well decorated by roses with difficult colours. He also wanted to finish this discussion, so he change the topic.

"Naina tumhe mera... sorry sorry...hamara kamra kaisa laga, ye sari decoration Munna ne karwayi hai, tumhe pasand aaya." He asked looking whole room.

"Bahut achha hai, mai to room dekh kar surprise ho gayi thi." Naina admired and shared her thoughts about the decoration.

"Kyo??." He raised his brows.

"Wo mujhe laga nahi tha ki aapko aise room decorate karwana pasand hoga." She glanced over the whole room .

"So Mrs. Naina Maheshwari... aap abhi apne pati ko janti nahi... Wo kitne romantic hai, par koi baat nahi haule haule jaan jayengi." He said in a hoarse voice.

"Achha ji... wo to time aane par hi pata chalega." And she ran out of his grip as he tried to cage her in his arms.

As Naina ran away from his grip that her leg got stuck in her lahanga and was about to fall. She closed her eyes out of fear but his one strong arm went back to her and pulled her into his embrace. She clutched him by his shoulder.

"Naina aankhe kholo." He whispered as tugged her hair behind her ears and blowed the air over her face.

Naina shivered by his touch over her dupatta. She opened her eyes and met his dark black orbs. Before she pondered what happened to her, he packed her corner of lips without warning her and looked at her expression.

As this was totally unexpected, she was taken aback to see the way he was showing his love. There was a little nervousness on her face and he realised he was in a hurry to express his desires with her. As he had known she was not comfortable with him for physically but he could not suppress his urge seeing her alluring face so close to him.

He announced, breaking the silence that had been prevailing between them for some time. "Naina bahut raat ho gayi hai aur tum bhi thaki gayi hogi...chalo so jao... baki baatein baad me hoti rahegi."

Naina was surprised and deemed his mood spoiled by her reaction.

"Sameer" she asked in a meek voice. "So jaye."

"To kya tumhe puri raat jagna hai ya phir aur baatein karni hai... Kyonki mujhe to bahut neend aa rahi hai aaj pura din itna hectic tha ki thak gaya hun tum nahi thaki." He yawned.

"Matlab hum bas aise hi so jaye." She thought he was angry so he intentionally ignored her and he was giving this excuse.  And her face dropped and the smile disappeared on her face.

Sameer sensed the meaning of her question and saw her dejected face. He made her sit on the sofa.

"Naina hamare beech panch salon ki duri hai jo aaj hamare pati patni banne se dur nahi ho jayegi... jo jhijhak hamare beech hai use jane me time lagega... bhale hi hum ek dusre ko bahut pyaar karte hai par hum dono ek dusre ko utni achhi tarah se nahi jante aur ek dusre ke saath comfortable bhi nahi hai....College ke ek saal to hamne apne pyaar ko samjhane me nikal diye phir jab time tha ki hum ek dusre ko apni feeling bata pate hamari kismat hame ek dusre se dur le gayi...aur jab tum Delhi me dubara mili to mujhse bhag rahi thi... ye to achha hua ki maine himmat karke tumhe apna pyaar jata diya. Uske baad shaadi hone tak kuch pal mile the hame par wo kabhi nahi the.

Aaj hamara pyaar ek manzil paa chuka hai, ek khubsurat manzil... jiski khubsurati ab hame banaye rakhani hai... apne pyaar se aur ek dusre ki takat ban kar.. jo ek dusre ko jankar aur ek dusre ke sath wakt bitakar aayegi... Kyonki hume wo samay mila hi nahi hai. Aisa nahi hai ki hum ek dusre ko nahi jante aur samjhate nahi.... lekin hamare mazboot rishtey ke liye aur ek successful married life ke liye ek dusre ki achchhiyon aur buraiyon ko janna jaruri hai jo hum saath rah kar hi jaan payenge.... pahle hum ek dusre ko mentally accept karenge phir physically." He explained his point of view to their relationship.

He spoke again to see her perplexed. "Isliye maine socha hai... hum apna rishtaa dheere dheere shuru karenge... mujhe koi jaldi nahi hai... jab tum mere sath comfortable feel karogi tabhi hum hamare rishtey me aage badenge... hamare aage puri life padi hai... pahle hum ek dusre ko samajhenge... after all ye panch solon ki duri bhi to kam karni hai... aur tumne abhi tak mera romantic side dekha hi kahan hai meri jaan...." He leaned on her face and kissed both her cheek one by one. He reassured her that he would not force her to woo him and fulfill his desires without her willing. He will not initiate any physical relationship before her consent.

"To phir chale sone." He said in a gentle voice to see her shocked wife and stood up from the sofa.

She only nodded her head as she did not out of his shock. She was going towards the bed but Sameer voice stopped her abruptly.

"Naina tum aise hi so jaogi... Matlab itne bhari dress me." He amazed.

Naina realised what she was going to do. "Oh sorry mera dhyaan hi nahi tha."

Sameer came in front of her and held her hands in his. "Relax Naina... kyo apne dimag ko itna pressure de rahi ho... abhi hamare samne puri life hai inn sab ke liye... abhi hame bas ek dusre ko janna aur samjhana hai... jao pahle tum change kar lo." He relaxed her.

Naina went near the dressing and freed her dupatta from hairpin. Then removed her jewellery one by one, first mangtika then nose ring and earrings and kept on the dressing.

Sameer was watching her in his intense gaze, sitting on the bed and said with soft voice. "Naina ye sab kitna khubsurat hai na... tum mere kamre me ho aur aise aaine ke samne khade hokar jewellery nikal rahi ho aur mai tumhe pyaar se nihar raha hun...Ye sab ek sapne jaisa lag raha hai aur jab aaj se teen months pahle ki baar sochata hun to ye bilkul namumkin tha... Par aaj dekho sab sach ho gaya hai.... shayad bhagwan ji ko bhi mujh par taras aa gaya aur tumhe mujhse dubara milwa diya."

"Hummm." She only hummed as his intense gaze made her speechless.

"Kya bas hmmm... kar rahi ho, tumhe achha nahi lag raha." He asked impatiently.

"Mai bhi bahut khush hun." She uttered only as she was aware of his gaze stuck on her for a long time and was hesitant to say that he should not look at her like this. Her hand went back again to remove the necklace and struggled to open it. Seeing her effort he strode towards her and her heart was raging rapidly as he approached her. He stopped behind her just few inches away from her and their eyes met in the mirror.

Seeing him so close, her hands slipped down both her side.

He offered her with a soft smile. "Mai kuch help kar du."

"Nahi... mai kar lungi." She moved out from dressing leaving dejected Sameer.

And she checked her bags in the whole room at the possible place but did not find it anywhere.

Seeing no other option she called him. "Suniye."

He turned to her. "Sunaiye."

"Wo... wo mujhe aapki help chahiye." She stuttered.

"Abhi to kah rahi thi help nahi chahiye...Phir kya hua." His sounded bit stern.

"Wo mere bag nahi dikh raha shayad bahar rah gaya... aur mai jaa kar laa bhi nahi sakti... to kya aap laa denge." She asked hesitantly.

He annoyed to know the reason for her tension. "Ye Ramdhari bhi na... ek kaam thik se nahi karta... tum yahi ruko mai abhi dekhata hun."

And he opened the door with a bang and just came out of the room, he saw two suitcases placed next to the door. He brought the suitcase inside.

"Naina yahi bags hai na..." When he saw her acceptance he handed it to her.

As Naina about to opened her bag requested him, he should change first. He went to the washroom after collecting his night suits from his cupboard.

When he stepped out after 10 minutes, he found Naina already waiting for him. She went inside the bathroom, without looking at him. And now he was eagerly waiting for her to come out as she had been inside for over half an hour.

He stood near the window and was talking quietly to his Nanu. He shared his fear with him as he feared, would he be able to take care of her nicely without giving any pain. Will he be able to protect her from all evil eyes?  Will he be able to keep a smile on her face forever. So many questions started arising in his mind. Will he be able to handle his new responsibility with ease?

And he came out of his thoughts by clicking  sound of the wash room door. He saw his beautiful wife standing in a night suit. He immediately approached her and offered her which side of the bed she would prefer to sleep. But she asked him before answering.

Sameer always slept on the right but he told him to the left. So Naina decided to sleep on the right. As he knew she slept on the right, he had seen it once.

They both slept their perspective side by maintening some distance between them after wishing good night each other's. They both lost their own thought.

As Naina had felt embarrassed to come out from washroom wearing a night dress in front of him. So she had taken a long time. When she had gathered a courage, stepped out from washroom and had not met her eyes to him, as he had approached her.

And other side Sameer was immersed in her thoughts, why was Naina behaving like this marriage was arranged. Why was she so shy of him?  How will their marriage proceed?  Such thoughts troubled him. He didn't want to let dadi's words come true in any way.

Half an hour had passed but the two were awake and Sameer was changing his side again and again as he was not comfortable on this side. And his enthusiasm level was high as well as his fear, which he could not sleep.

Naina sensed his restlessness and turned to him. "Sameer aap iss side so jaiye."

"Nahi Naina mai theek hun... thodi der me neend aa jayegi." He refused her offer.

"Dikh raha hai aap kitne comfortable hai... Please iss side aa jaiye." She requested.

"Tum bas aise hi meri taraf dekhati raho, phir jhat se neend aa jaayegi." And he placed her palm over his chest and shifted closer to her.
She felt under her palm his heart was matching with her own raging heart and she looked straightly into his eyes with thinking, maybe he too feeling nervous like her.

She stroked his hair her other hand which he felt a calmness and soon his eyes became heavy and drifted into sleep tightly clutching her hand over his chest.

Later she too fell asleep after adoring her handsome husband sometime who looked very innocent in his sleep. She felt ecstasy starting her new life with her love Sameer. She overwhelmed as he was very supportive and had maturely handled her fear and hesitation by his positive thoughts.

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

Naina sleep broke when Sameer stired slightly that his fingers brushed across her face. She looked him with love who was sleeping peacefully lying on his stomach and his breath fanning on her hand. She freed her hand from his grip without disturbing his sleep and glancing the side table to know the time. It was 5 minutes before 6 o'clock early in the morning. She immediately turned off the clock alarm for not disturbing her husband sleep.

She got up from bed and quietly reached her suitcase. She slowly entered the washroom after taking her clothes. She came out after some time wearing only blouse and skirt and she was wrapped in a towel over her wet hair.

She had once glanced at her husband before coming out of the washroom. When she was sure that he was sleeping… she had come out and immediately wrapped the saree around her body and kept watching him to see if he would get up. She sighed as she finished her work. Then she did light makeup and wore a small necklace with matching earrings. She adorned her hands with beautiful bangles and lastly filled her mang with sindoor.

When she got ready, checked herself in the mirror. She looked enthralling in this pink saree with contrast blouse. Then she glanced over clock it was showing 6:30 in the morning. She looked her husband who still sleeping with a smile in his face. She went to him and noticed a bright sunshine fell on his face that his face slightly frown. She pulled curtain on the window and smiled to see his calm face.

She again approached him and couldn't resist herself ruffling his silky hair. "You are so cute my dear husband... bas aise hi muskan hamesha apne chehare par rakhiyega... Aap ko dukhi dekhakar mai bhi kamzor pad jati hun... you are my strength. Iss din ka maine kab se intzaar kiya hai, lekin ab jab hum saath hai to kyo ek ajeeb si jhijhak hai... aur mujhe pata hai aap sirf meri khushi ke liye apne aap ko rok rahe hai... bas mujhe kuch din dijiye Sameer inn sab ko accept karne ke liye." And she kissed his forehead softly.

She slowly opened the door and came out of the room. As she about to descended  the stairs, Vishakha was coming towards her.

"Are Naina... tum ready bhi ho gai... mai to tumhe hi uthane aa rahi thi, ye soch kar ki shayad tumhari neend na khuli ho par tum to bilkul ready ho...Sameer bhi utha gaya hai." Vishakha asked surprisingly.

"Nahi mummy ji wo so rahe hai... meri aankh jaldi khul gai to ready ho gayi." Naina replied.

"Achha hai chalo jaldi se meetha bana lo.. phir tumhe aur Sameer ko saath me pooja karni hai aur dusri rasme bhi." And Vishakha took her in the kitchen.

"Naina ye humara kitchen hai, ab se iski jimmedari tumhari hai. Ramdhari hamesha tumhari madad ke liye rahega. Mummy ke jaane ke baad Ramdhari ke pita aur ab Ramdhari hi kitchen aur pure ghar ko sambhalta hai... lekin mujhe ummeed hai ki ab tum iss ghar ko phir se vaisa hi bana dogi jaise mummy ke time tha." Vishakha wiped her unsaid tears to remember of her mother.

Naina was feel a burden on herself and pleaded lowering her head. "Sorry Mummy ji..."

"Sorry kyo beta??." Vishakha perplexed.

Naina raised her face and said with guilt. "Wo mummy ji...mai Sameer ko nahi mana payi ki wo aapke saath Delhi me rahe... aur ab meri vajah se aap aur Sameer alag ho jaayenge." There was a regret appeared on her face.

Vishakha understood that Sameer had told his decision to her and worried for her. "Iss me tum kyo sorry bol rahi ho... Tumhari koi galati nahi hai Naina... aur apne ko blame mat karo. Ye to meri badkismati hai ki mai apne bete ki khushiyon ke liye apne pariwar se lad nahi payi, jiske karan hamare beech duriya aayi....Aur rahi baat abhi ki to Sameer ke mann me tumhe kho dene ka dar hai... jisne use ye decision lene par mazboor kiya hai... meri khushi uski khushi me hai phir chahe wo mere paas rahe ya mujhse door.

Aur phir meri beti bhi to hai, uska khayal rakhane ke liye, jo mujhse kahi jyada achche se mere Sameer ka khayal rakhegi.... rakhogi na mere Sameer ka khayal, use kabhi hamari kami mahsoos mat hone dena." Vishakha bagged his son happiness to her forwarding her palm.

Naina kept her palm on her palm. "Mummy ji... mai puri koshish karungi ki wo kabhi dukhi na ho... par mai aap ki kami puri nahi kar sakti, kyonki mai aap ki jagah nahi lena chahati...ek maa ki kya importance hai wo mai achhe se samajhati hun...  Sameer ki life me aap ki ek special jagah hai, jo sirf aap hi pura kar sakti hai aur Deepika to unki ladli hai. Rohan to unke bhai se bhi badkar hai... mai unki life me aap sab ki kami kabhi puri nahi kar paungi." Naina felt disheartened as now her husband would not live with his family.

"Naina beta tum uske saath ho yahi soch kar mujhe tassali rahegi aur Sameer ki tension nahi hogi... dekhana thode dino me hamare bina rahne ki aadat ho jaayegi. Ek baar jab sab normal ho jaayega... tumhara rishta thoda strong ho jaayega tab Delhi aa jana... Kyonki Sameer abhi kisi ki nahi sunega... to beta tumhe ye sab akele hi sambhalna hoga." Vishakha made her strong to take the situation easily.

"Mummy ji mai koshish karungi ki aapko shikayat ka mauka na dun aur aap ki sab expectation puri kar saku... Par aap sab saath hote to aur jyada khushi hoti." Naina heart wrenched to recalled Sameer pain that she felt last night.

"Ye kya tum baar baar tipical bahuo jaise baatein kar rahi... tum meri beti ho samajhi aur ye ghar jitna Sameer ka hai utna hi tumhara bhi hai... aur haa... aaj se tum Sameer ki tarah mujhe sirf mummy kah kar bulaya karo ye ji mat lagana...Mummy sunne me jitna apnapan hai wo Mummy ji me nahi hai." Vishakha said with atmost love.

"Ji... Mummy ji... sorry mummy." And few tears brimmed out from her eyes.

Vishakha wiped her tears and said with affectionately. "Ab se inn aankhon me inn aansuon ki koi jagah nahi hai... yahan sirf muskurahat honi chahiye. Aur tum apni har ek baat mujhse share kar sakti ho jaisa tum apni maa se karti... apni mummy samajh ke.... agar kabhi Sameer tumhe pareshan kare ya phir jagdha ho ya ladai ho to wo bhi share karna phir dekhana kaise mai use theek karti... aur use dhant lagaungi ki usne meri bachhi ka dil dukhaya."

Naina being emotional and hugged her tightly as she found a mother as Vishakha. Vishakha patted her back. And they both parted as they both heard a voice at the door step.

"Saas bahu me kya baatein chal rahi hai... jara mai bhi to janu." Prabha asked and looked at Naina with surprise. "Naina bahu mujhe to yakin hi nahi ho raha ki tum itni jaldi utha kar ready ho gai." Naina immediately touched her feet.

She looking to Vishakha..."Manna padega didi aapki choice ko ekdam sanskari aur samajhadar ladki chuni hai... bahu ab jaldi se apne haathon ka swad bhi test kara dena."

"Haan mami ji." Naina uttered.

"Bhabhi aap jakar mehmano ke saath baithiye mai bas Naina ko bata kar aati hun." Vishakha said and Prabha agreed.

Then Vishakha showed all things which required for making a aate ka halwa (sheera). And said to her if she do not find anything asked her. Naina nodded her head and started to make halwa.

Vishakha called Bela to tell her about the pagphere rasma early and said her to come after 9 for the pagphere. This was the first thing she did as soon as she entered the hall where some guests were seated.

After half an hour Vishakha back on the kitchen and her nostrils filled with a aroma of halwa. She found Naina already done make halwa and she was garnishing it with some dry fruits. She checked halwa and happy to see her effort.

"Naina halwa to bahut achha bana hai... ab jao dekhana Sameer ready hua ki nahi... aur tum bhi thoda fresh ho jana, thodi der me sab aa jayenge phir pooja hogi." When halwa ready Vishakha ordered Naina to wake up Sameer as both were supposed to worship together.

Naina nodded her head in yes and went to her room. And surprised to see her husband was still sleeping even till 7:30.

She muttered. "Rahne ko to kitne responsible hai lekin sone ke mamle me bilkul bachhe hai... abhi tak nahi uthe, ab agar mummy ko bataungi to pareshan ho jaayengi... inhe jaldi se utha kar ready hone ko kahti hun."

She called out his name. "Sameer utha jaiye." But this it did not effect him and she shook his arm. He stired a little and said in his sleepy voice. "Bas panch minutes aur mummy." And again buried his face in the pillow.

"Sameer mai hun Naina... Please jaldi uthiye." She shook him again.

This time he opened his eyes and watching a beautiful scene. His gorgeous wife was standing in front of him and waking him up. He stared at her thinking that she was in his dream and would disappear soon. He suddenly pulled her towards him. And his imagination was shattered hearing her bangle sounds and her hot breath fanning on his face as she fell straightly over him and her face was just few inch away from his. She became out of her mind and staring him strangely as her mind got blank of sudden pulling. He came back his senses and grabbed both her arms and lifted her a little.

Then he slowly pushed her silky long hair aside from her face that covered her pretty face and their eyes locked as she opened her eyes.

After regaining consciousness, Naina immediately got up from him and said without meeting at his eyes. "Jaldi se ready ho jaiye...Hum dono ko ek saath pooja karni hai aur baki rasme bhi."

Sameer too got up from bed and turned her face towards him. "Naina ye meri zindagi ki sabse khubsurat subah hai... janti ho kyo..." She shook her head and he answered with a warm smile "Kyonki aaj meri sapno ki pari meri samne hai... jo sapna mai roj subah dekhata tha wo aaj hakikat ban kar mere samne hai." And he brushed slowly his fingers on her cheeks as feel her presence.

"Sa...Sameer.... Please... hum late ho rahe hai... sab wait kar rahe honge." A red tinge spreaded over her face and her cheeks flushed yet he continued his work with his charming smile.

Naina could not bear his gaze as it were getting dark and intense, she started slowly burn by his desired filled eyes. She pushed him aside and ran to the washroom. She sprinkled some water on her face to control her emotions, which evoked by his touch. She calmed down her throbbing heart against leaning the wall and wondered what was happening with her.

"Naina ye to shuruat hai... ab tujhe roj inn sab ko feel karne ki aadat dalni hogi. Tu kab tak uss se bhagati rahegi...Tu ab Sameer ki patni hai tu use uska haq lene se nahi rok sakti... aur kabhi na kabhi tum dono ko apna rishtaa aage badna hi hoga... to yahi achha hoga ki inn sab ko tu jaldi accept kar le... dono ke liye achha hoga." Naina's heart said to her and made her realise her responsibility towards her husband.

Inside in the room Sameer mentally rebuked himself for make discomfort her again. As he had forgotten his promise that he made with his wife last night when he looked his beautiful wife and couldn't resist himself to touch her soft velvety cheeks.

Naina emerged out of washroom when composed herself to face him and again requested to him for getting ready quickly.

Sameer also felt awkwardness and to make the equation between them easier, he requested. "Naina mai jaldi se ready ho jata hun... tab tak please tum mere kapde nikal do."

"Mai...Par mai kaise... mujhe to pata bhi nahi ki aap aaj kya pahanane wale hai." She hesitated.

"Tumhe jo pasand aaye nikal dena..." He said casually gesturing towards his wardrobe. "Usme mere kapde hai... Aur haa iss me tum apne kapde rakh lena." He showed another wardrobe which next to his.

As soon as Sameer entered the washroom, Naina opened his wardrobe. She was confused about choosing the perfect dress for today's occasion. And most importantly the one that suits him perfectly. Suddenly she saw a blue shirt, and paired it with a black trouser.

After take out his dresses, she placed it neatly on the bed. And she kept his wrist watch and a handkerchief before left the room.

Sameer came out wearing vest and wrapped a towel around his waist. He frowned as he found Naina nowhere in the room.

"Thodi der to ruk jati... lekin nahi mujhse dur hi bhagana hai madam ko... aise to hamari kahani aage badne se rahi..." He dejected to see the empty room as he wanted to look his beautiful wife some more time.
