***********

Sameer and Naina gave the gift everyone which they bought from Delhi. At first they gifted to Aanand a shirt and pant and Bela to a designer saree. But Aanand and Bela refused to take it and Sameer convinced him saying. "Chacha ji aap mujhe apna beta mante hai to aap ko ye gift lena padega." And both accepted their gift with moistened eyes.

Later Naina gave an earring to Shalini, who also refuse to take it. But Naina's humble request forced her to accept the gift. Then Naina handed a taddy to Nihal.

"Are Naina iski zarurat nahi hai...kyo tum dono ye sab laye hame gift nahi tum log ka pyaar aur saath chahiye." Shalini objected and this time Munna supported his wife. "Haan Sameer inn sab ki zarurat nahi hai. Hame tum dono se koi gift nahi chahiye."

Meanwhile Sameer handed a packet to Munna and said making him emotional. "Hum dono ka pyaar samjha kar rakh le yaar... hame bahut Khushi hogi...kyo Naina." He looked at Naina and Munna hugged him saying. "Tu na bahut hoshiyar hai... kaise manana hai sab pata hai."

Aanand and Bela witnessed their pure friendship and they admired their bond.

Just then Ramdhari informed everyone lunch was ready. Naina asked surprisingly. "Bhaiya aapne sab ready kar liya itni jaldi."

"Bhabhi subah hi bhaiya ne bata diya tha...kya banana hai." Ramdhari replied going to the kitchen.

Everyone sat at the dinning table and Naina amazed to see the variety of foods. The food was everyone's choice and especially sweets, Naina's favourite. Before starting the lunch Naina looked at Sameer and mouthed a thank you.

The whole day was full of enjoyment and happiness for Naina. She had met her chacha ji and chachi ji after a long time. Her happiness was no bound. She also enjoyed her day with Shalini and little bundle of joy Nihal. The cute child was more capable to bring a smile on her face than to Sameer. It was noticed by Sameer and he was sad for a moment thinking that his effort was not enough to make her happy but the next second he smiled because his main priority was her happiness, and no matter which way it came.

Sameer sat with Vishakha and adored Naina with a content smile who was now sitting with Aanand, Bela, Nihal and Shalini and was chatting with them with a big grin on her face.

"Mummy Naina kitni khush hai na....bas ab uske chehre par ye muskan hamesha bani rahe." Sameer became emotional to see his wife's happiness after a long time.

Vishakha looked at his moistened eyes and replied caressing his cheek. "Kyo nahi rahegi tu itni koshish kar raha hai wo safal zarur hogi aur dekhana jald hi wo sab bhula kar pahle jaisi ho jayegi."

"Sach mummy." His eyes glinted with a hope.

"Haan mere buddhu...bas tu apne gusse par thoda control karna phir dekhana tum dono pahle jaise hi hasi khushi rahoge." Vishakha assured him.

In the evening when the time of leaving Naina became dejected and send off Aanand and Bela with a sad face but Aanand cheered her mood declaring, they will come when he is free from his office work. It's delighted Naina and meanwhile Sameer announced to her that whenever she wants to go to her home, he will take her.

When Munna and Shalini started leaving, Nihal did not leave Naina and as soon as Shalini tried to take him from Naina's lap, he started crying even louder.

"Naina lagta hai tum Nihal ko bahut pasand aa gayi ho tabhi to tumhe chhod nahi raha hai." Shalini teased and scolded her son looking him. "Beta tum na apni chachi ke saath yahi raho... tumhare papa tumhara saman le aayenge." The little boy smiled as he understood his mother.

Hearing Shalini words Sameer frightened thinking that if Nihal stay with them Naina would not have time for him and he interrupted Shalini. "Nahi bhabhi hum iss chutku ko hamare pass nahi rakh payenge...hame kaha idea hai bachhe sambhalne ka." He looked at Naina with hope that she would support him.

Naina, Shalini and Munna laughed at his frightened expression and he frowned seeing them laughing at him.

"Aap bhi na Sameer... bhabhi to mazak kar rahi hai...bhala koi bachcha apni maa se dur rah sakta hai...abhi pet bhara hai to khush hai jaise hi bhukh lagegi ise sabse pahle iski Mummy hi chahiye hogi." Naina made him understand.

"Ohhh." He exclaimed.

At night Sameer was impatiently waiting for Naina to come into the room. She had finished her kitchen work and then chatted with Vishakha for sometime. When she entered the room it was vacant and Sameer was no where. She sad thinking he went to the study room again and in despair went to the bathroom for changing her night dress.

Naina came out after a long time and when she crossed the balcony door, her eyes fell on Sameer who was standing in the balcony. She stopped just beside him and silently looked at him.

"Naina tum khush ho na." Sameer asked breaking the silence between them when he sensed her present. But he wanted to ask her that did you forgive me but he couldn't ask.

"Haan bahut khush ho... aaj chacha ji, chachi ji, Shalini bhabhi aur Nihal sab ke saath time kaise beet gaya pata hi nahi chala, aur ab dekhiye thakan hone lagi hai." Naina replied pressing her temple.

Something struck his mind urgently and he asked with urgency. "Naina tumne aaj medicine li."

Naina shook her head. "Mai bhul gayi."

"Naina kon apni health ko iss tarah ignore karta hai.. chalo abhi medicine lo." Sameer annoyed for her carelessness and took her to the bed then gave her medicine.

"Sameer mai us din school me sirf bhukhe rahne ke karan behosh hui thi aur ab bilkul theek hun...phir ye medicine kyo.?" Naina questioned gulping down the medicine.

"Tum abhi kamzor ho isliye...ab tum so jao thak gayi ho na." Sameer made lay down her and covered her with a blanket. He too lay down on his side and closed his eyes thinking her questions about her health.

"Tumhe nahi bata sakta Naina tumhe kya hua hai, agar bata diya to tum aur depress ho jaogi." Sameer mumbled himself and thought he did right to keep her medical report in the study room.

Sameer turned to her, he pulled her into his embrace and he started to think about everything that he had felt all day. Why were her eyes blank and the sparkle in those eyes seemed to be lost? She was happy all day, but why was her smile incomplete, which filled her whole face with glow?. She was mingling with everyone, but her words did not reflect the same confidence as before. Thinking about all these questions, he did not know when he fell asleep nuzzling in her hair.

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

The next two days passed normally. Naina would wake up early in the morning and prepared breakfast for Sameer with her own hands. Sameer was happy as she was behaving normal as before. He had showed his love to her like earlier before leaving the office. Naina would spend the whole day with Vishakha and she would tell her about Sameer's childhood memories and his mischief.

Everyday Sameer had called Naina before lunch to inquire about her well being and to know whether she has taken the medicine or not. Seeing Sameer's care and love for her, Naina was also trying to forget her pain and miserable days.

Sameer would return early from his usual time and spend some time with his mother and Naina. Sameer would first feed her medicine at night, then she would fall asleep under the effect of the medicine and his desire to take her in his arms would remain the same. As after that day he had not showed his desire but always he cared and loved her. Sometimes he felt that she was not happy because her happiness was not reaching her eyes, her smile seemed false. She remained mostly quiet when he talked to her and told her his future plans about the business. She never initiated any conversation from her side, it was always Sameer who talked to her. He had missed his chirpy Naina.

And finally Sameer couldn't bear her silence and pain, so he decided to talk to her about it tonight. Coming back from office he made up his mind that he would find out her real problem and the reason of her depression as so many of his efforts had gone in vain. He could not deny that he was the reason of her pain and misery. Still he wanted to hear all this from her mouth.

After dinner Sameer waited her for ending the ackwardness between them it occurred after their rift. As she had forgiven him that day but something was still in her heart that she had grabbed. Which was not letting her come out of depression.

Naina entered the room and as usual Sameer was in the balcony. When she came out from the bathroom and was removing her earings, her breath hitched. As he grabbed her hand and he started removing the earings by his own hands. She shuddered when his lips brushed back of her neck.

Sameer lifted his face to see her expression and glanced her reflection in the mirror. Her eyes closed and uneasiness written on her face. Seeing her face his heart winced and burden of hurting her and pushing her in depression increased his guilt much more. He left her and took a few steps back.

Naina opened her eyes, when she didn't feel his touch. She turned back and looked at his face which was sad and unhappy.

"Kya hua Sameer, aap aise dukhi kyo hai." She worried.

Instead replying, Sameer asked in annoying tone. "Ye to tum bataogi Naina....kya hua hai tumhe, kyo itni chup chup si rahti ho, pahle jaise kuch bhi mujhse share nahi karti ho... tumhari hasi jhuthi lagti hai, tumhare aankhon me pahle wali wo chamak nahi hai jo mujhe dekh kar aati thi... kaha kho diya meri Naina ko." Naina didn't reply, her head still lowered and seeing this he questioned. "Kya mera paas aana tumhe achcha nahi lagta.?"

Naina stared him lifting her gaze and feared to face his bloodshot eyes. It made her thinking, is he angry with her again.

"Sameer aap kya bol rahe hai...aisa kuch nahi hai." She objected in shaking voice.

"To phir kaha hai meri Naina....bolo Naina kyo kho diya tumne khud ko." He asked in a shuddering tone.

This time Naina could not say anything just staring him with a pain filled eyes. But Sameer voice pulled her out of her misery.

"Koi baat nahi agar tum batana nahi chahati, mai force nahi karunga...bas itna hi kahunga ho sake to mujhe maaf kar dena...janta hun meri galti maafi ke layak nahi hai phir bhi ek baat kahna chahata hun... Naina koi bhi problem itni badi nahi hoti ki use zindagi bhar pakad kar rakha jaye." Sameer looked away from her and closed his eyes for a second to restrain his tears but few drops trickled down on his cheek.

"Sameer maine aapko maaf kar diya hai...phir aap kyo." Naina said but Sameer cut her in mid and said pointed his heart "Par dil se nahi."

And he strode towards the bed and ordered her in a soft voice while switching off the light. "Please medicine yaad se le lena."

Sameer had wanted to know the reason but didn't force seeing pain in her eyes and uneasiness on her face. He remembered doctor advice not to force her, it would worsen her condition.

"Janti hun Sameer mai phir se galti kar rahi hun aap ki baat na maan kar....aap bahut pyaar karte hai, aap mujhe phir se pahle jaisa dekhana chahate hai par mera dar mujh rok deta hai...lagta hai ye khushiyan mujhse phir jheen jayegi, mai phir kuch galti kar baithungi aur aap phir se gussa ho jayenge....mujhe pata hai iss baar agar aisa kuch hua to aap mujhe kabhi maaf nahi karenge aur mujhe jo sapne aate hai wo sach ho jayenge...mai hamesha ke liye aapko kho dungi....ye dar mujhe andar hi andar tod raha hai, aapki maafi paakar bhi khush nahi hun... Aap ko maaf na karne ka to koi sawal hi nahi hai, sari galti meri thi, maine hi aise situation create ki aap mujhse gussa ho aur mujhe ignore kare...jab saare kiye mere hai to aapse kis adhikar se shikayat karu." Naina blamed upon herself in her mind for all the situation and she glanced his sleeping figure with teary eyes.

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

One evening after returning from his office Sameer took Naina at Nirmal Jyoti society to give her surprised. He was delighted as soon as the car stopped at the society as Naina's smile had widened and her eyes had twinkled with joy. Her happiness was genuine. He wiped his unshed tears. She glanced him with a gratitude before heading the stairs.

When the door opened Bela welcomed them with a big smile but they faced a unwanted person and seeing her, Sameer face dropped but he greeted the person plastering a fake smile on his face.

"Kaisi hai taiji aap ...sab theek to hai." He asked and bent to touch her feet. Naina too touch her feet but she received a hatred look from her.

"Bholuram ab sab ke naseeb me mahalo ka sukh thode likha hota hai... phir bhi zindagi chalati hai...vaise hi kat rahi hai." Taiji indirectly taunted Naina eyeing her.

Taiji's taunt triggered his anger, his palms curled into fist and eyes were blazed. He was ready to brust on her. But Naina squeezed his hand to calm down and shook her head pleading through eyes.

"Taiji dusro ke khushi se dukhi rahne walon ko kabhi khushi nahi milti." Sameer snapped back her controlling his anger.

Sameer's sharp reply made her realise that she again evoked his anger and she tried to go out of the house giving a excuses. "Bela mai jaa rahi hun...tere bhaishahab aate hi honge."

Bela requested her to had dinner with them but taiji refused that she already prepared dinner. As she had afraid if she would say anything wrong about Naina, Sameer wouldn't leave her. So she wanted to distance from him.

When taiji was about to leave Rakesh and Aanand entered the house.

"Bhabhi ji kaha ja rahi hai... Sameer aur Naina aaye hai kuch der bachchon ke saath baithiye." Aanand requested seeing Sameer and Naina.

"Tum bhi Aanand...kise kah rahe ho jo har waqt jahar ugalti hai unse tum pyaar bhari baaton ki ummeed kaise kar sakte ho." Rakesh retorted.

"Ne waa...hum chandan ki tarah ghis gaye inn logon ke liye, phir bhi kisi ko koi kadra nahi hai...bhalai ka to zamana hi nahi raha." Taiji irritated by his accusation and she took a long stride towards her house glaring Rakesh.

"Rakesh bhaiya kya aap bhi... Sameer ka to khayal karte... kya sochega, upar se bhabhi ji naraz ho gayi." Aanand showed his annoyance.

"Sameer ko bhi pata hai kaisi hai bhabhiji aur unke naraz hone ka to sawal hi nahi... dekhna kal phir se muh utha kar aa jayengi, Bela jara chai pila to sar dard se phata ja raha hai kahte huye...unhe inn baaton se koi fark nahi padta Aanand...tum bekar me tension le rahe ho." Rakesh patted Aanand's back.

Sameer touched their feet and they both gave a blessing with a smile.

Naina hugged at first Rakesh and he caressed her hair with a blessing. "Khush raho."

Aanand elated as took Naina in his arms and said in a soft voice. "Kaisi hai meri gudiya." And she nodded her head with a happy face.

As Sameer settled on the sofa with Rakesh, and he discussed his new contract with him, Naina went to the kitchen to help Bela preparing the dinner. Aanand came after freshen up and joined their discussion.

"Sameer tumhara foreign company wala kaam kaisa chal raha hai." Aanand asked sitting beside him.

"Sab badhiya chal raha hai chacha ji." Sameer replied then he turned to Rakesh. "Papa ji Arjun bhaiya kaise hai bahut din ho gaye unse mila nahi hun."

"Arjun theek hai...tum dono ko bahut yaad karta hai, bata raha tha koi naye project shuru hone ki vajah se chuttiyan nahi mil rahi hai...lekin agle mahine aane ka plan banaya hai." Rakesh informed about Arjun.

"Ye to bahut achchi baat hai papa ji." Sameer smiled.

When the dinner was ready Naina called them for dinner, but Sameer wanted to fresh so Bela ordered Naina to take him into her room. As they both entered the room Sameer locked the door.

"Sameer aapne door kyo band kiya." Naina shocked.

"Kyonki ab jo mai karne wala hun uske liye ye zaruri hai." Sameer stepped towards her.

"Sa...meer... hum... ghar pe nahi...mere mayke me hai." She stammered moving back.

"Maine kab kaha hum ghar pe hai." Sameer replied grabbing her wrist and made her stand in front of the mirror. He showed her face in the mirror. There was flour on her forehead.

He pulled out a handkerchief from his trouser pocket and wiped the flour dust from her face. He raised his brows. "Agar ye karte kisi ne dekh liya hota to kya sochate...kya tum ye chahati thi ki mai ye aata sabke samne saaf karu."

Naina froze for a moment then she replied in an annoying tone. "Mai kyo aisa chahungi...aur ek baat aap na aajkal bahut besharam ho gaye hai."And she threw a hard glare to him.

"Banaya bhi to tumne hai." Sameer stated confidently and laughed heartily of her puffed face.

"Maine." She perplexed.

"Haan... tumne apni adao se." Sameer curled her loose tresses in his fingers and started playing it saying. "Tum in julfo ko jab aise kan ke pichhe le jati ho." He tugged it behind her ears and added in a husky voice. "Mera dil machal uthata hai tumhe apni bahon me lene ko... aur jab tum apni ye khubsurat palke sharm se jhukati ho, tumhe pata nahi meri saanse ruk jati hai...aur jab tum gusse me apne ye gaal phulati ho, mera mann karta hai ki tumhare galo ko zor se....." And he pulled her chubby cheeks and he rubbed her pink soft lips gently. "Aur tumhare ye pink roses lips dekhkar..."

Before he could say further Naina kept her finger on his lips. Her face had flushed listening his thoughts and whole body trembled with a unknown sensation. She shivered by his touch and scared to see darkness in his eyes.

"Bas Sameer...kaisi bahki bahki baatein kar rahe hai." Naina scolded him after overpowering her emotions.

Sameer removed her finger after kissing it. "Tumne hi to bahkaya hai mujhe...aur ab ye dil mere bas me nahi hai." He kept her palm on his heart, it was pounding wildly under her palm.

"Sameer pagal ho gaye hai kya." Naina asked nervously and pushed him slightly.

"Tumhare pyaar me." Sameer replied dramatically.

"Jaldi fresh hokar aaiye." Naina ordered him while opening the door and she said to herself glancing at him. "Abhi pyaar me pagal hai Sameer, kal ko koi galti kar baithi to gusse me pagal ho jayenge." She walked out of the room.

"Janta hun tum mere diye huye dard apne dil se nikal nahi paa rahi ho par mai bhi jiddi hun, dekhana mai ye saare dard mita kar rahunga phir chahe kitna bhi time lage." Sameer said himself with guilt.

Sameer noticed that Naina was very happy with her family the whole time. It rejoiced him. Today she was happy and shared her happiness with Sameer throughout the journey back home. He felt he had succeeded in bringing a smile on her face again. Her smile was some extent guenine. After their quarrel, she first time expressed her desire to him that she wanted to eat ice cream. He took her to the law garden and they both sat in the garden relished their ice cream and had stared at the moon in each other's arms.

That night Sameer slept took her in his arms and she also wrapped her arms around his waist. They were both pleased first time after a long time. But their happiness was again about to be overshadowed by a nightmare. Naina had a bad dream that Sameer was very angry with her about something and she was pleading in front of him and apologizing but he was not paying any attention.

"Please Sameer mujhe chhod kar mat jaiye...mai mar jaungi." Naina cried.

"Tum yahi deserve karti ho... Naina." Sameer took his bag and left her there.

"Sameer mat jaiye... please mat jaiye..." Naina ran behind him but it's was late he had gone from there. She collapsed on the floor while sobbing.

After sometime someone touched her shoulder and she opened her eyes. Sameer infront of her and she stared him with disbelief.

"Naina kya hua itni chouk kyo gai...aur neend me kya badbada rahi thi." Sameer asked caressing her cheek and wiped sweats of her forehead. As his sleep disturbed hearing a mumbling sound.

"Koi bura sapna dekha." He asked while offering her a glass of water.

Naina looked her around and found herself with Sameer on the bed. She gulped down the water taking the glass from his hand.

"Na...nahi koi sapna.. nahi dekha." Naina answered stammering once she realised it was her nightmare then she slept on her side saying to him. "Please aap bhi so jaiye mai theek hun."

Sameer kept staring at her the whole time thinking about how he would get her rid of her nightmare. As he was sure she had seen a nightmare that she had feared and behaved strangely.

***********

The next morning, Naina again went into depression, her smile was not like previous day and some unknown fear reflected on her eyes. Sameer was distressed to see her quiet and melancholic mood. His heart wrenched to push her in this situation everytime but he was helpless. Few days passed while Sameer tried to make her normal but she was not able to come out of depression despite Sameer's million attempts. Vishakha had also gone to Delhi by assuring Sameer that his hard work will be successful, just be patient.

Although her condition was better than before and her mental health was improving day by day, but this improvement was very slowly and her mood changed every day. It was unbearable for Sameer to see all this as he wanted his Naina to recover quickly. He wanted to see love for himself in her eyes, not fear, which was lost somewhere amidst all this. Naina was also trying to get out of all those sorrows but the burden of hurting Sameer was not getting off her heart and her nightmares were not leaving her. Which were taking her into depression again and again.

One evening while returning from office Sameer visited to the doctor. He wanted to know some way to make Naina normal.

"Doctor Naina ki condition me sudhar to hai, but very less, kabhi kabhi Naina ko dekhkar lagta hai wo apne gam se bahar nahi aana chahati hai.... maine apne tarike se puri koshish ki, use jyada se jyada khush karne ki ...Jin logon se bahut attached hai unse mil ke wo normal ho jati hai Doctor...par phir dusre din vaisi hi chup ho jati hai...aur Kabhi kabhi use nightmare bhi aate hai." Sameer told Naina condition helplessly.

"Sapno me wo kya dekhati hai." Doctor asked curiously.

"Maine bahut puchha par Naina kuch nahi batati hai." Sameer replied dejectedly.

"Ok, but ye sapne daily aate hai...in sapno ki vajah se unme kuch changes dikhate hai." Doctor asked another question.

"Daily nahi aate hai doctor...kabhi kabhi hi aate hai....Par ek baat hai doctor jab bhi aise nightmare aate hai uske baad Naina aur jyada udas aur chup ho jati hai." Sameer told
What he observed in Naina.

"Aap kisi bhi tarah se ye janne ki koshish kariye ki aakhir wo sapne me dekhati kya hai...agar ye pata chal jaye to shayad hum unhe jaldi recover kar paaye aur unka dar door kar payenge." Doctor suggested with a hopeful smile.

"Ok doctor...mai janne ki koshish karunga." Sameer agreed with doctor.

"Mai ye ek medicine aur add kar raha hun, isse shayad nightmare aane band ho jaye." The doctor thought something and adviced further.

"Sameer aise cases me kabhi kabhi mouhal change hone se bhi patient ki condition me improvement hota hai.... aur aapke itne effort ke baad bhi aapki wife normal nahi ho paa rahi hai to aap unka mouhal change karke dekhiye, shayad jagah change hone se unme kuch improvement aaye...kabhi kabhi nayi jagah depression ke patient ko unke dukh se bahar nikalne me madad karti hai....if you have time please apni wife ko unki pasand ki jagah le jaiye." Doctor adviced with friendly way.

"Iss se Naina theek to ho jayegi na doctor." Sameer hesitated.

"Maine kai patient me ye trick work karte dekha hai." Doctor replied honestly.

"Thank you doctor...i hope iss se meri Naina mujhe wapas mil jaye." Sameer thanked while standing up from his place.

After dinner Sameer approched Naina in the balcony and hugged her from back. As he had stayed in the study room after dinner and Naina had waited to him staring the moon and twinkling stars. She was lost some thoughts without caring cold breeze and he had enveloped her in his warmth.

Naina came back into her senses as felt the warmth around her. She closed her eyes and leaned back to him. A satisfication reflected on her face when he tightened his arms around her.

"Naina..." Sameer called her name and nuzzled in her hair.

"Huh." Naina only hummed.

"Naina tumhari favourite jagah kon si hai jaha tumhe jaane ka bahut mann karta hai." Sameer asked.

At first she was shocked then turned to him, looking at him with suspicion, wondering if something was brewing in his mind.

But he covered up his inquiry in mischievous answer. "Itna shock hone ki zarurat nahi hai, bas aise hi ek khayal aaya to puchha liya... vaise bhi future me hame honeymoon par to jana hi hai, to mujhe pata to hona chahiye na ki mai apni wife ko kahan le ja sakta hun aur iske liye tumhari favourite place se best jagah aur kya ho sakti hai...so my dear wife uska idea le raha tha."

Her cheek turned into beatroot and she silently bowed her head. She was playing in her bangles in nervousness as his heated gaze on her.

"Are aise sharmaogi to mujhe kaise samjha aayega...kuch bologi tabhi to hum planning karenge na meri jaan." Sameer teased her romantically.

"Sameer...aise mujhe pareshan karenge to mai nahi bataungi." She pouted with a fake anger.

He held his ears making a sorry face and quivered his brows. "Please tell me."

"Ummm....mujhe na.. hill station, jahan bahut sare ped ho aur charo taraf shanti ho...aisi jagah jana pasand hai." She answered dreamily and asked him with excitement. "Aur aap ko koun si jagah pasand hai."

"Mujhe..." And he looked into her eyes with the intensity of his deep eyes. "mujhe wo sabhi jaghe pasand hai jahan tum saath hogi." He said holding her both hands in his.

His husky voice made her trembled and she wringgled out of his grip and ran inside the room leaving him some deep thought.

***********

After two days suddenly at dinner time Sameer announced, they both were going to Bangalore for his business trip and ordered her to ready their bags the next morning as they were going to leave for Bangalore tomorrow afternoon.

At first Naina couldn't believe what was she listening true and she asked him for confirmation. "Sameer dono ke bag matlab."

"Matlab tumhare aur mere, tum bhi aa rahi ho mere saath." Sameer confirmed in a soft voice that she will also go with him.

"Sameer aapki business trip me mai kya karungi, aap meri jagah Munna bhaiya ko le jaiye... Aur mai aaj raat hi aapke bag pack kar dungi taki aapko kal niklane me koi hadbadi na ho." Naina refused to go with him.

"Naina shayad tumne theek se suna nahi... maine kaha, hum dono ke bag ready rakhana, sirf mere nahi..." He ordered this time in a strict voice.

And his deep voice enough to her that he would not change his mind. One side she feared of his strict order but other side she was happy as he was not leaving her alone this time. It was enough for her to believe that he was not angry at her more and he would never left her.

"Kitne din ke liye kapde pack karne hai." She asked, to know how long they were going.

"Ek week ke hisaab se rakh lena." He replied eating his dinner.

"Sameer koi serious problem hai kya." She worried.

"Kyo." Sameer raised his brows at her.

"Aapki business trip generally two or three days ki hoti hai...aur aaj aap ek week kah rahe hai isliye puchha." Naina cleared her doubt.

"Tum na bahut sawal karti ho." He closed his eyes for a second then replied. "Koi problem nahi hai bas ek normal business meeting hai...ab usme kitne din lagenge mujhe nahi pata aur phir shaadi ke baad pahli baar nayi jagah ja rahe hai to vahan ghumenge nahi to kya matlab ....to tum na wo sabhi dresses bhi rakh lena jo Shimla jaane ke liye hamne shopping ki thi." He said in a normal way without showing any attention to her and she nodded her head this time.

Naina happily packed their clothes the next day, after Sameer leave for office. He was assured her that he would return before lunch.

They both boarded by a flight for Bangalore in the afternoon. He noticed a different happiness on her face when she had entered the airport and seated the flight. He made her sit by the window seat. He did everything that made her happy, from her comfortability to her wishes.

It was evening when they landed at Bengalore airport. Sameer hired a taxi and told him the address of the hotel. As soon as they reached the hotel, Naina was amazed to see how grand the five-star hotel where they were going to stay in for a week would be.

Sameer and Naina went to reception, at first receptionist greeted them, then asked politely.

"Good evening sir, what can I help you?"

"Yaa...I have booked a room." Sameer replied.

"I will check sir, but which name." She asked ogling him with wide eyes and seeing it Naina wrapped her hand in his arms.

Sameer smiled to see her jealousy and ignoring the receptionist he replied. "Mr. and Mrs. Sameer Maheshwari."

The receptionist face fell down and she checked the records with a sad face. After confirmation their booking she gave him a key and greeted them with fake smile. "Have a nice day ma'am and sir.

"Thank you." Sameer greeted her with a polite smile.

Meanwhile, Naina was a little jealous of that receptionist and was also surprised. As she was seeing his professional manner for the first time. He had such a grand personality that everyone was attracted to him as when they both entered the hotel premises, some girls and women were over drooling over him. Despite all this, he behaved professionally with the receptionist without any hesitation, knowing that she was impressed by his charm. And Naina was proud of the fact that her husband was a renowned businessman and was expanding his Nanu business of his skills. Along with this, the happy thing for her was that this charming and handsome man was her husband who loved her very much and now only she had the right on him and no one else.

Her reverie broke by a sudden pulling as her husband encircled his arms around her waist on the way of their room. She was just looking at him without blinking her eyes in daze.

Once they both entered the room, Naina stunned to see the room and amezingly looking around the room.

"Kya dekh rahi ho." Sameer asked clicking his fingers infront of her.

"Ye soch rahi hun ki, iss room ka ek din ka kiraya kitna hoga." Naina said observing the room.

"Naina iske baare me tumhe sochane ki zarurat nahi hai, wo sab sochane ke liye mai hun....Shaadi ke baad pahli baar kahi ghumne aaye hai aur tum ye sab soch kar time waste kar rahi ho...tum bas yahan ghumne ke baare me socho...aur kuch nahi." Sameer replied with a soft smile. He thought he would take her the best place so that she would forgot her wound.

"Sameer janti hun aap hai... lekin abhi abhi business me itna loss hua hai aur aise fijul kharchi theek nahi hai." Naina said with a serious face.

His temper raised to her facial expression and knowing that she was happy of his effort. He burst out in anger. "Fine...mujhse galti ho gayi."

Sameer slumped on the sofa and turned his head other side.

Naina shuddered seeing him as she had unknowingly provoked Sameer's anger. She mentally crushed herself to raise this matter. But this time she minded up, she would not stretch the matter and would apologise to him right now.

At first Sameer was furious at her but soon he realised why he has come here and his anger will again mess up every thing, making her condition wrose too. He felt guilty and took a deep breaths to cool down his growing frustration then turned to her for apologizing.

"Sorry."

"Sorry."

Both apologized at the same time and they both smiled. Sameer got up from the sofa and pulled Naina in his arms.

"Ab se no gussa only pyaar pyaar aur pyaar meri jaan." Sameer said looking deeply into her enchanted eyes.

"Aap aajkal kuch jyada romantic nahi ho rahe..." Naina remarked him skillfully hiding her blush and broke the hug.

"Achha." Sameer moved towards her with slow pace.

And Naina moved back until her back hit the wall. He smirked at her to look, then how you run away from me. He started slowly leaning towards her and she shut her eyes tightly.

Sameer chuckled at her hesitation and he caressed her cheek by his finger tips.

"Nainaa." Sameer whispered that she opened her eyes and he said in a soft voice. "Naina thodi der rest karlo...phir aas paas ghumne chalenge aur dinner bhi vahi kar lenge."

Naina nodded her head and took a short trip of bathroom. They both rested their tired body on the soft mattress with snuggling each other's arms.

They both seated on a restaurant for dinner after roaming near the hotel. Once their mouthwatering dinner finished Sameer scanned the menucard and his eyes fell on the varieties of icecream and he could not decide what to order which Naina also liked, so he asked her.

"Naina batao tum kon sa flavour lena pasand karogi...aaj tum jo khaogi vahi mai bhi khaunga." He said with glint in his eyes.

Naina looked at the menu card and confused to see the types of icecream and said
"Mujhe na chocolate flavour..." And she glanced at his face which was unpleasant maybe hearing her icecream flavour and she showed the name of icecream to the waiter. "Aap ye le aaiye."

When the waiter left for their order he quivered his brows. "Kon sa flavour order kiya hai."

"Umm.... surprise hai." She answered playfully.

Sameer delighted as he was seeing his Naina's mischievousness back now.

"Bata bhi do meri jaan." He said holding her hands and looking straight into her eyes that she blushed.

"Itne adheer na hoiye Mr. Maheshwari...ye aap par shobha nahi deta." Naina said teasingly.

"Kyo na houn." Sameer asked lifting her palm near his lips.

Her breath hitched of his sudden act.
"Sameer kya kar rahe hai sab hame hi dekh rahe hai." Naina hesitated and tried to withdraw her hand looking around her.

"Mujhe... logon ki parwah nahi hai." Sameer replied in a husky voice and kissed back of her palm.

"Sameer." Naina pulled her hands as waiter approached them.

Sameer glared the waiter to spoil their romantic moment but soon he suppressed his disappointment and he exclaimed to his wife in a cheerful voice.

"Dekhu to sahi meri wife ne kya order kiya hai." As he saw the bowl of icecream, his gaze shifted to her with utmost disbelief.

"What is this Naina." Sameer frowned.

"Kyo.... pasand nahi aaya." Naina asked holding his hand.

But Sameer jerked her hand and said in a frustrated tone. "Maine tumhe apni pasand order karne ko kaha tha...meri pasand nahi....yaar kab tum apni pasand batana seekhogi." He closed his eyes for a second to calm down his growing anger.

"Aaj pura dinner meri pasand ka tha to maine socha icecream aapki pasand ka order kar lete hai." Naina replied in a meek tone.

"Maine kaha tha." Sameer greeted his teeth in anger.

"Mujhe laga aap khush ho jayenge." Naina replied timidly.

"Naina mujhse nikal kar apne baare me bhi socho." Sameer banged his fist on the table and looked at her with fiercy eyes and about to say something but he felt a sweet cold sensation in his mouth. As she had stuffed a spoonful of ice cream in his mouth.

"Wow." Sameer sounded as his anger melted with icecream.

"Ab bhi gussa hai." Naina asked with innocent eyes making a puppy face.

"Aaa....haa..." And Sameer uttered seeing her sulked face. "ab...nahi." He smiled wholeheartedly and also fed her a spoonful of pista kesar icecream.

They both relished the icecream with their loving talked and returned the hotel room holding each other's hands.

Sameer was overjoyed when he enclosed Naina in his arms on the bed. Today his Naina seemed better and the most she was very free, not closed herself.
