Naina POV.

Wo raat hamari life ki sabse khubsurat raat thi, hum dono mann se to ek ho chuke the lekin us raat tan se bhi ek dusre ke ho gaye the. Us raat hum dono pure ho gaye the, hamari jhijhak chali gayi thi....ab zindagi me ek alag hi khushiyan aa gayi thi... hamari life khushiyon me beetne lagi thi.

Aur dekhate hi dekhate maine apna PG complete kar PhD me addmission le liya. Sameer nahi chahate the ki mai apni study ko band karu...ghar padhai aur school teeno ko jab manage kar pana mushkil hone laga to mujhe school chhodna pada... Samay ke saath Sameer ki koshish rang layi aur mera depression chala gaya....par Sameer mujhse ye baat chuppa rahe the... lekin sachchai kab tak chup sakti thi...ek din study room ki safai karte waqt meri medical report mere hath aa gayi, mujhe ye jankar bahut bada dhakka laga... phir wo sab moment yaad aane lage jo Sameer ne mujhe depression se bahar nikalne ke liye kiye the...uss din mera pyaar Sameer ke liye aur bad gaya... lekin maine bhi jahir nahin hone diya ki i know everything.... kyonki mai unke aakhon me vahi dar phir se nahi dekhana chahati thi jo Sameer un dino jee rahe the, sirf mere ek chhote se dar aur nasamjhi ki vajah se...mai janti thi, Sameer mujhse bahut pyar karte hai aur mere liye kuch bhi kar sakte hai par wo darawane sapne aur unka gussa mujhe us halat tak le gaya tha...

Jab se maine divorce ka sapna dekha tha mai andar se bahut dar gayi thi, kahi ye baat sach ho gayi to taiji mujhe tane de dekar jeene nahi degi aur chacha ji ko biradari se bahar meri shaadi karne ke liye bahut bura bhala kahengi....aur galti se unhe mere aur Sameer ke pyaar ke baare me pata lag gaya to meri to jaan hi le legi....ye sab baatein mujhe buri tarah se dara rahi thi, mai apna dar kisi se share nahi kar sakti thi aur andar hi andar ghutane lagi thi...jiska result mera depression tha.

Jaise ki ek kahawat hai khushiyon ki umra jyada nahi hoti vaise hi yeh jo hamare chaar saal hai wo bahut ups and down wale rahe... jahan hum saath khush huye to kabhi kuch baaton par ek dusre se naraz bhi huye. Din beete aur hamari shaadi ko ek saal pura ho gaya par us din kuch aisa hua ki wo raat dil me ek tees de gayi... hamesha ke liye.

POV end.

Naina remembered that night and was just about to get lost in the memories of those days, someone's touch brought her back to the present. She turned back to look at the person.

"Sameer....aap." Naina surprised with a perplexed face.

"Kya yaad kar rahi ho janeman..." Sameer asked sitting beside her chair.

"Kuch nahi." She pretended.

"Par tumhari aankhe to kuch aur hi kah rahi hai." Sameer tried to decipher her expression and he snatched her diary from her hands.

As Sameer read first marriage anniversary title, diary fell from his hands. He became restless and tried to get up as something ripped his heart.

Naina kept her hand on his and turned his face to her.

"Sameer....bhul jaiye us raat ko." Naina requested.

"Kya tum bhul paogi." Sameer snapped back.

She suggested with a soft smile. "At least try to kar sakte hai."

"Naina jis din ko mujhe bahut special banana chahiye tha use maine apni life ka sabse kharab din bana diya....jis din ko hum khushi se yaad karte use ek dard ke saath yaad karte hai... please Naina mujhe maaf kar dena." He left the room with teary eyes.

Naina didn't stop him as she had known he wanted to be alone for sometime to fight his inner pain and turmoil. She also had known, he would cry but she had no strength to see his vulnerable state and she wiped her own tears.

She went to the bed and rested her head on the headboard while closing her eyes. She went to memory lane to recall the best day of her life which had turned into a unfateful day.

Other side Sameer was sitting on the terrace and he also remembered about the unfateful day of his life.

Sameer POV

Wo din meri zindagi ka aisa manhoos din tha jise itne saal baad bhi nahi bhula hun aur jab bhi wo din yaad aata hai to khud se naraj ho jata hun...agar mujhe life me pichhe jane ka mauka mile to mai unn panno ko hamesha ke liye apni zindagi se mita dena chahata hun...us din ki yaad aaj bhi ek tees de jati hai...aur khud ko wo sab jo hua uske liye kosta hun...na chahate huye bhi maine us din Naina ka trust kho diya tha.

POV end.

He also remembered the day which had started with a sweet moment but end with a bad note.

Flashback.

Sameer returned from the office in the evening, he was awestruck to see his beautiful wife who clad in a pink chiffon saree. He was adoring her rooted on the door step. He was not in his senses and entered the room with daze, threw his blazer on the bed.

Naina sensed his presence in the room. She indulged herself into makeup and ordered without glancing towards him.

"Aap bhi jaldi se ready ho jaiye...kahi aisa na ho ki sabhi guest pahuch jaye aur hum hi late ho jaye."

Sameer loosened his tie, rolled up the shirt sleeves up to the elbow and started opening his shirt button one by one in slow motion as her enthralling figure occupied his mind that he couldn't focus anything.

Once Naina had done her makeup she turned to see him and found him still sitting on the bed without changing. She was frustrated getting late and approached him as his back was facing her.

"Sameer aap ab tak baithe hai... maine aapke dresses nikal kar rakh diye hai...wo dekhiye." She showed a pair of black shirt and black pant with a blazer which placed on the other side of bed.

But Sameer was lost in his own fantasy, she shook his shoulder calling his name. "Sameer."

Sameer looked up at her face with a dreamy eyes and got up holding a strong desire in his eyes. Soon he pulled her in his embrace circling his arms around her waist and nuzzled his face in her hair.

Naina shocked of his unexpected romance in the wrong time and pushed him away, rested her hand on his chest and her hand started trembling as it was directly landed on his bare chest.

Her smooth palm flat on his chest giving a chilling sensation to him, it the same time evoked his desire with more passion and his heart started throbbing wildly. He loosened the last cord of patient and her back hit against the wall. He entwined both her palms with his fingers and just kept looking at her face as it was fascinated him.

"Sameer...aap... kya..." But Naina her words died in her mouth as he left her hand and shushed her put his finger on her rosy lips.

"Aaj kuch nahi...bas ... tumhe.... pyaar karne do." Sameer answered her unspoken question in a husky voice.

She trembled under his touch and he stroked her bare back. Her feet wobbled and clutched his shoulder tightly digging her nails against his skin.

He dipped his face in her hair and smelled her silky hair then brought his face to the front and nuzzled her neck with his nose, his breath hot against her soft skin. He went to back of her nape pushing aside of her falling long tracess and started to give open mouth kisses.

Naina shuddered as his magic worked on her, she also wanted to romance with him and also carved for his touch but it was not a perfect time for all this.

He left her, raised up his face and ogled at her face with a desire. He couldn't resist himself to bend down his face, seeing her bitting lower lip and he leaned down on her lips but he frowned as she put her palm on his lips which were just few inches away of hers.

"Sameer please abhi nahi..."

"Kya Naina...tum aaj ke din mana kar rahi ho." Sameer became grumpy and thumped on the bed.

Naina reached him and encircled her arms around his neck standing in front of him.
"Aap to naraj ho gaye.... Sameer agar aap abhi shuru ho gaye to phir ho gayi party...inn sab ke liye puri raat hai."

"Badi romantic ho rahi hai madam.... lagta hai birthday ke din jaisa koi surprise hai." And his eyes twinkled to remember his birthday and got up from the bed.

She touched her necklace to think something. "Surprise to nahi, par kuch special hai..." And asked with loving voice. "Aapne apna to gift de diya... lekin abhi tak bataya nahi... aapko kya gift chahiye."

"Mujhe...." Sameer pretended to be thinking and looked down at her slender neck where his gifted diamond necklace adored her beauty and he whispered leaning down on her face. "I want a child...."

As he had teased her many times for a child that's she irritated of him today.

"Sameer mazak nahi... please." Naina annoyed and stepped away from him.

"Naina i think hame apni family badhane ke bare mein sochna chahiye..." Sameer said with a serious face and there was a hope in his eyes as she would agree with him.

Naina's eyes widened and she was stunned as sensed seriousness in his voice. Naina expression changed into unsettled and raised her eyes to him.

"i know hamari shaadi ko ek hi saal huye hai aur gift me ye mangana sahi nahi hai aur abhi tumhare college ki padhai bhi bachi hai...aise me bachche ke baare me sochana jaldbazi hogi lekin abhi se bachche ke liye try kare to mere khyal se koi tension ki baat nahi hai... because we are perfect age to becoming parents now.... lekin sirf tabhi jab tum agree hogi." Sameer added further seeing her scared face. "Maine kahi padha tha."

Naina seemed uncomfortable and said in a trembling voice. "Sameer... mujhe bhi hamare bachche chahiye...and i love child par bachhe bahut badi responsibility hote hai aur mujhe lagta hai abhi mai iss zimmedari ko achche se nahi sambhal paungi.... please Sameer kuch time baad iss baare me soche."

"Koi baat nahi Naina maine to bas apna point of view rakha tha.... jab tak tum physically aur mentally prepare nahi hogi hum iss baare me sochenge bhi nahi...ok sweetheart." Sameer replied with a gentle smile yet he hid his dejection and pain through his jovial smile.

"Sameer.... sorry.... aapki ye wish puri nahi kar paungi, aap koi dusra gift mang lijiye." Naina disappointed to not fulfill his wish.

"Naina sorry mat kaho... maine hi aisa kuch manga liya jo tum pura nahi kar pati... mujhe sochna chahiye tha mangne se pahle..." Sameer caressed her cheek with a soft smile then he strode to the bathroom for being ready.

Naina was rooted at her place for a second and looked back to see his retreating figure
entering in the bathroom. She reprimanded herself to destroy his happy mood. She was anxiously waiting for him.

"I know Sameer aapko bachhe bahut pasand hai... jijaji aur Munna bhaiya ko unke bachcho ke saath dekhakar aapko bhi bachche ki chah hoti hai ... lekin bas ek saal aur Sameer phir koi hoga jo aapko papa bulayega...i promise...bas ye college finish ho jaye." Naina muttered under her breath and made a mind to share this matter with him tonight.

"Sameer aap ab bhi dukhi hai...mai aur koi gift de dungi." Naina tried to manofy her husband thinking he had hurt by her rejection.

"It's ok.... mujhe kuch nahi chahiye." Sameer simply denied.

He kissed her forehead softly and tucked her loose hair strain behind of her ears. He encircled his arms around her waist saying. "Chale meri jaan." And he winked.

Naina let out a sigh of relief as he seemed normal and his action made her smile heartily. Her face flushed to feel his fingers caressing her smooth back.

***********

Sameer had thrown a grand party in a five star hotel for their wedding anniversary but there was also an another reason to the party as he had got a big contract. He invited his families, close relatives, his friends, his office staffs and his business associates and competitor also.

When they reached the hotel almost guest had arrived. He made a special entry with his wife. Everyone congratulated them, first his family members then his friends and after that other person and media also. Sameer was overwhelmed to see the happiness on Naina's face.

Sameer made Naina meet some of his Nanu's friends and some business associates who didn't come to their wedding. Then they both went to some relatives and they have blessed both for a good married life. As Sameer eyes fell on Naina's family, he approached them with her and took their blessings touching their feet. After some talk he led to Naina his family.

Once the party was in full swing, Sameer noticed his friends who had just arrived and he went to welcome them, leaving Naina with her sister Preeti and other relatives.

Later Sameer introduced his friends to his wife Naina. They were his hostel's friends from Nainital school. They were specially invited by Sameer because he had forgotten to invite them to the wedding. One of them teased him taking Riya name when they were alone. They had surprised how had Sameer choose a simple girl Naina instead choosing modern girl like Riya. As he had never interested any simple girl in his school life so his friends had shocked to see Naina at first. As they were expected he would married a modern type girl. But they didn't show their shocking reaction to Naina and met her with normally. They didn't disclose anything inappropriate thing with Naina and its was a great relief for Sameer.

After a while Munna announced a dance performance to Sameer and Naina.

Sameer took Naina's hands in his and made her comfortable with his encouraging words. He got up from the chair and forwarded to his hands to her. She placed her palm in his. Then he took her in the dance floor. Her deep brown eyes glistened, and a smile spread across her beautiful face.

He put his one hand on her shoulder and another on her waist. He pulled her close to him as the song started.

Ae kaash ke hum hosh mein
Ab aane na paaye
Ae kaash ke hum hosh mein
Ab aane na paaye
Bas nagmein tere pyaar ke
Gaate hi jaaye
Ae kaash ke hum hosh mein
Ab aane naa paaye
Ae kaash ke hum hosh mein
Ab aane naa paaye

He slipped his hands around her waist and she looped her arms around his neck. They both swayed with the rhythm of the music as they were alone at the place.

Khilati, mahakati
Yeh julfon kee shaam
Hasate, khanakate
Yeh hothhon ke jaam
Khilati, mahakati
Yeh julfon kee shaam
Hasate, khanakate
Yeh hothon ke jaam
Aa jhuoom ke saath uthhaye
Bas nagmein tere pyaar ke
Gaate hi jaaye

Her silky locks fell over her eyes, like a veil blocking out the light. He desired to see those deep eyes.

She began to withdraw her hand to brush away her hair, but his hand clutched onto hers. He carefully placed her slender hand on his shoulder. He delicately tucked her lock behind her ear, and her deep eyes twinkled back at him in modesty.

Her lips went to his ear as she whispered ever so softly.

"You know, how romantic you are."

"I know jaan, but it's nothing, let me be romantic for once, then see." He muttered mischievously leaning to her ears.

"No... Sameer not here... please" She pleaded as scared of his daring power, if he took it seriously then he would leave after completing it.

But his unsettled feelings surged up his body, and his fingers tingles in delight. His hand brushed across her cheek. His body was acting on its own desires, no chains to hold back him from this pure emotions.

His heart began thumping wildly and ready to exploded anytime soon. He tried to calm his heart that he drew her close to his chest, and dropped a kiss on her forehead without care anyone. She too reciprocate with his feeling and wrapped her arms around his back.

Ae kaash ke hum hosh mein
Ab aane na paaye
Ae kaash ke hum hosh mein
Ab aane na paaye
Bas nagmein tere pyaar ke
Gaate hee jaaye
Ae kaash ke hum hosh mein
Ab aane na paaye

She set her head on his chest. They continued to dance, too lost in the music to halt.

Everyone clapped seeing their beautiful and sizzling dance. Some guest praised their dance and tagged them a perfect couple.

Seeing the grand entry of both of them, some people got jealous and their beautiful dance fueled the jealousy. And one of them was Naina's taiji and the other was Sunaina Parekh who came with her husband Tarun Mehta. Her eyes remained on Naina most of the time. She was envious of Naina as she had thought it was her right to be Sameer's wife and Naina was the person who had snatched away Sameer and her place in his life.

Other side taiji was furious seeing the dance and reached to Vishakha.

"Vishakha ji izzatdar gharo ke bachcho ko aise sabke samne nachana shobha nahi deta hai." Taiji commented about Sameer and Naina's dance and fixed her eyes to Vishakha to see her expression. As she sensed Vishakha was disagree with her. She tried to cover up her accusing. "Matlab Naina ko samjhana chahiye, itne bade khandan ki bahu hai aur baharwalon ke samne aisi phuhadta nahi dikhani chahiye...par aap chinta mat kijiye mai use samajha dungi lekin aap bhi uski kisi baat ka badhawa mat dena... nahi to wo aapki baat bhi nahi manegi... bahut ziddi hai...mai to bechare bholuram ke baare me sochati hun...kaise jhelata hoga iss nakchadi ko...ye Naina..."

And taiji looked towards Naina with a disgusting way and before she could split more venom Vishakha's voice interrupted her.

"Aap Naina ki taiji hi hai na." Vishakha asked with normal look but her voice held tinge in sarcasm.

"Naina do din ki thi jab uski maa gujar gayi tab se iss bin maa ki bachhi ko apni khud ki beti ki tarah pala hai." Bina replied feeling proud and gave her a confused look that she doubted her affection towards Naina.

As Vishakha heard, she felt bad about Naina to live with this cunning women and she said with stern tone. " Wo kya hai na aap jiske baare me aisi baatein kah rahi hai wo meri bahu nahi Beti hai aur koi bhi maa apne bachcho ke baare me bura bolna to dur ki baat hai wo to galat sun bhi nahi sakti."

Vishakha excused her and left the place before she would say something wrong about Naina and maybe she couldn't tolerate her wrong words that she would give taiji a dose of her accusation.

As soon as the party was over all the guests had left except the family members. Just then Sameer's school friends came who were staying in the same hotel and dragged him to a corner. They were saying him something but he refused. He tried hard to stop them and finally he agreed. Naina was watching all this from a distance.

Sameer came to Naina and requested her. "Naina mai bas do minute me aaya."

"Theek hai Sameer....par jaldi aaiyega mummy papa bhi thake huye hai." Naina agreed with him.

"Okay....tum yahi wait karo." He kissed her forehead before going.

Both family members came to Naina and asked her about Sameer. She told that he will come in some time. They all stayed with her to wait for Sameer. When five minutes over Naina requested her family to go to home and after some discussion they agreed. Once her family left she requested Vishakha, Vivek, Rohan and Deepika to go to house as even after five minutes there was no trace of Sameer's coming.

"Ye Sameer bhi na bahut laparwah hai...beta hum tumhe yahan akela chodkar nahi jaa sakte." Vivek became angry at Sameer for his irresponsiblilty.

"Please... papa aap mummy Deepika aur Rohan ke saath ghar jakar rest kariye.... vaise bhi aap sabki kal morning me flight hai." Naina felt bad to make stay them in a long time.

"Theek hai par tum hamare saath aaogi." Vishakha declared her decision.

"Mummy ye mujhe yahan na pakar pareshan ho jayenge." Naina objected to think of Sameer's panic expression, when he would not find her.

"To hone do pareshan...kam bhi vaisa hi kiya hai....koi apni hi wedding anniversary ke din apni biwi ko akela chhod kar jata hai...had hoti hai laparwahi ki..." Vivek replied with a furious tone and he was extremely disappointed of Sameer.

"Lekin....papa.." Naina was tense and worried about Sameer.

"Theek hai Rohan ruk jayega...tum hamare saath chalo... yahan kab tak baithe rahogi." Vishakha ordered in a stern tone as she also angry with Sameer.

Naina had no choice but to agree with her and she left with all.

Rohan waited him restlessly, when ten minutes over, he worried for him and got up to see him but stopped when he saw Sameer coming.

Sameer was surprised seeing Rohan instead of Naina. He asked with confusion. "Naina aur baki sab kahan hai."

"Ye question to mujhe puchhna chahiye kahan the tum inti der tak." Rohan asked annoyingly.

"Sorry yaar....wo mere friends chhod hi nahi rahe the....par sab hai kahan." Sameer apologized.

"Mummy aur papa gussa the, tum bhabhi ko akele chhod kar chale gaye the....to mummy bhabhi ko apne saath le gayi." Rohan answered.

Hearing Rohan information, a horror written on his face. He scared thinking of his mother anger.

"Kahan le gayi." Sameer frightened.

"Itna dar kyo gaye...ghar gaye hai aur kahan jayenge." Rohan explained.

When they both reached the parking, Rohan asked Sameer for the key. Sameer said he will drive the car.

"Mujhe pata hai tum drive kar loge par abhi jo tumhari aankho me dikha raha hai us se mujhe doubt ho raha hai ki hum ghar safe pahuchenge." Rohan whispered leaning his ears.

"Kya matlab..." Sameer alerted.

Rohan winked. "Tum khud samjhdaar ho."

Sameer handed the key to Rohan without utter anything and muttered under his breath. "Rohan ne samjha liya, to kya Naina bhi samjha jayegi."

"Vaise tumne bataya nahi itni der kaha laga di." Rohan asked again while driving.

"Wo doston ke saath school ki yaadein taza kar rahe tha...aur time ka pata hi nahi chala." Sameer replied with nervousness after that silence prevailed between them the whole way house.

***********

Just as Sameer stepped in the living hall with Rohan, he found his Naina was waiting for him and Rohan immediately headed to the guest room wishing them good night.

"Naina...wo school ke friends ke saath tha wo log mujhe chod hi nahi rahe the.... sorry tum pareshan ho gayi." Sameer apologized when they both were alone.

"Koi baat nahi." Naina said with a soft smile.

As his eyes fell on her angelic face, his eyes turned into mischievous and he lifted her in his arms. He climbed up to the stairs locking his eyes with her. She also locked her arms behind his neck. His steps were slow that he took long time to reach the room.

Sameer pushed the door with his leg, as the door opened, he stepped inside losting his beautiful wife. He turned towards the door, closed the door with a kick and he gestured her to lock the door. As she latched the door, he led her towards the bed and put down her softly on the soft mattress. He removed her long tresses of her pretty face. He was about to lean over her at the same time his wife stopped him putting her palm on his chest.

"Sameer... please abhi nahi." Naina requested.

Sameer moved aside to giving her space and she got up for the bed. She went to the dressing table, stood in front of mirror and tried to remove her necklace. But the next second her hands dropped both sides.

"Ye necklace hi utarna tha to mujhe kah deti mai nikal deta, isme bed se utha kar yahan tak aane ki kya zarurat thi." Sameer whispered against her neck and unclasped her necklace with feathery touch on her soft skin. As the hot breath touched her skin, sent a shiver run down her spine.

"You are really gorgeous, my wife." He nibbled her soft place on her shoulder.

Naina breathed and gasped when he trailed bruising kisses down her neck but the next moment Sameer's breath hitched as he pushed aside her long tresses, his feets stepped back of her few inches away and his eyes went to dark seeing the view in front of him. Her blouse was deep neck and instantly his fingers ran sensually on her bare part.

This magic touch created a havoc in her body, butterflys were dancing in her stomach and her heart was beating wildly as his fingers slided down her nape. She felt a unknown pleasure as his other hand stroked a light pressure on her belly sneaking under her saree. She was lost to feel the essence of his magical touch. She trembled as his fingers up and traced the hem of the blouse. She closed her eyes tightly as his fingers reached on her shoulder through of her bossom. She shuddered and her chest moved up and down of each breath as he pulled the dori of her blouse to untie it and his fingers fidgeted with the hooks of her blouse.

Naina had lost in feeling the pleasure and immersed in his every touch on her skin. She just stood to smitten herself and she only felt his velvety touch on her tender skin while closing her eyes. But as a shaking voice reached her ears, made her force to open her eyes.

"Ha..ppy.. Wed..ding...Anni..versary ... My ..hotty...wife." Sameer whispered in a stuttering voice.

It was weird to Naina as he never addressed her like this but before she could think more, he turned her face to him and caressed her face, traced her pinkish lips with thumb. He leaned down on her face and was about to kiss her but the next moment she pushed him with a force as she felt something wrong.

"Sameer aap ne sharab pi hai." Naina questioning gaze met his confused eyes as their eyes collided. She smelled it in his mouth.

"Wo...Nai..Naina...wo bas thodi ...si pee hai." Sameer admitted in a stammering voice but deep down he had terrified of her reaction.

As Sameer admitted, Naina roared. "Kitni bhi pee ho lekin piya to hai na Sameer." Her body trembled in anger.

"Wo Naina... Rajiv ne bahut force kiya, par maine mana kiya tha.. phir usne dosti ki kasam de di to mana nahi kar paya.... sorry Naina." Sameer bowed down his head in shame and felt guilty to break her trust.

"Matlab aap pahle se drink karte hai..." Her eyes widened in shock and asked with a cracking voice. "Kab se Sameerr."

Naina felt cheated by her husband as she knew about his drinking habit today. It was biggest shock for her life and her heart shattered.

"Naina mai roj drink nahi karta,... infact maine to pichhle kai saalon se sharab ko haath tak nahi lagaya tha...aaj Rajiv ne mujhe kasam de di to pina pada." Sameer defended himself as her reaction was out of the blue.

He knew that when Naina came to know about this, she would be angry with him, but he had no idea that she would react like this.

And Sameer cursed himself why he didn't refuse his friends and most bad things he done, he took more than his usual limit on their insistence. He gulped down more than three glasses and it's showing an effect on him as he had drank after a long time.

"Maine pucha kab se." Naina yelled breaking his trance.

Sameer raised his face, when his eyes met her furious gaze, he gulped down in his throat. He replied in a low scary voice. "Wo... wo...Naina...Nainital me dosto ke sath Masti mazak me drink start ho gai..." And he added pinching his throat. "I swear Naina maine kabhi limit cross nahi ki hai...aur na hi mujhe iski aadat hai."

"Nana ji jante the." She inquired in stern voice.

Instead answering his head still lowered and she understood his meaning. The next moment her sharp voice reached in his ears.
"Ye baat mujhe batayi kyo nahi Sameer... maine shaadi se pehle bhi puchha tha."

As she had once asked Sameer before marriage if he drank alcohol but he had refused. He was afraid that Naina might reject him because of this small thing. According to him, drinking is not wrong as long as it is within the limit, and as far as he knew Naina, her values didn't allow her to even touch alcohol, hence he had hidden his habit of drinking and he himself had not touched alcohol for the last several years.

Sameer lifted his face and clutched her shoulder with a tight grip that she hissed in pain and he immediately left her with a guilt face. "Naina mai kabhi kabhi hi leta tha...wo bhi ek ya do drink isse jyada kabhi liya hi nahi."

"Jyada le ya kam... par aap drink karte hai na ...aur itni badi baat chupayi....you cheated me Sameer." She reacted aggressively and become emotional as his truth had broken her heart.

"Naina drink karna galat nahi hai." Sameer tried to convince her with a helpless look.

"Kuch bhi ho par mujhe pasand nahi....aaj ke liye kya kya socha tha, aapne sab barbaad kar diya." Her tears dropped on her cheeks and she collapsed on the floor near the bed.

Seeing her miserable state, he too knelt down next to her with moisture in his eyes and held her soft palms in his big hands but she withdrew her hands from his grip and tried to get up and the next second she was in his arms.

As the alcohol started showing effect on his mind and he whispered in her ears with love. "Kuch nahi bigda hai meri jaan.... dekhna kaise mai hamari iss raat ko special banaunga."

"Aise... Nashe me..." Naina glared him, wringgled to come out of his grip and looked at him with disgrunted face.

Her expression triggered his weak nerve, his anger. He was lost of his senses under the effect of alcohol. He tightened his arms on her and started to reduce gap between their faces. As their lips were just to few inches away...

THUD...the sound echoed in the silent room.

She couldn't tolerate forcing him on her without her consent. She had tried to stop him but as he was in no mood to leave her, she didn't find a way to make him senses and had no choice that she gave a tight slap to him.

For a second Sameer could not understand what happened with him, he was numb and bluntly his eyes stuck to her as how his beloved Naina raised her hand on him. This was hurting him deeply and he could not believe it.

But the stinging sensation on his cheek made him realise the reality and it increased his temper to extreme level. He got up with a jerk and took a few away from her yet his eyes clung on her figure. His jaw clenched and palms curled in a tight fist. His eyes flashed a warning.

She also got up and looked his angry demeanor. It's made her frightened but she composed herself to face his wrath as today he was wrong and she was right and looked directly into his burning eyes with same emotion.

As anger and alcohol had taken away his sanity. He was not in a state to ponder what is right or wrong. He stepped reaching for her and he pulled her towards him with a jerk.

"Maine sirf drink kiya tha Naina ...koi murder nahi jo tum aise react kar rahi ho...tum meri patni ho aur tum par mera pura haq hai."

His every words fueled her anger a thousand fold, which she had controlled when she had known he had hidden his drinking habit. Her eyes which showered immense love for him, now filled with hatred. She jerked his hold with full strength.

"To jo chahenge wo karenge....mai koi gulam nahi hun aapki...Mr. Maheshwari...do you understand." Her voice was offensive as she also infuriated by his harsh words.

And the next moment he imprinted his rough palm on her soft cheek and threw a angry glare to her with a sharp tone.

"To kyo padi ho yahan, jao...chali jao, jahan jana hai....apne aap ko hur ki pari samjhati ho, jo mai tumhe chune ke liye mar raha hun... mujhe koi shauk nahi hai... tumhare paas aane ka."

Naina was taken aback and couldn't believe on her ears for a second. Then his infuriated face said everything.

"Sameer...aapko pata bhi hai kya bol rahe hai." Her voice cracked and the tears slipped on her cheeks continuously. She turned her face other side and her feet stepped away from him as she did not want to see him and his actions were beyond her tolerance.

"Achhe se pata hai." Sameer retorted with anger filled voice and trudged to her but fell on the bed with a thund sound, it forced her turn to look him. As his leg had faltered which he collided of the bed.

He mumbled with blinking eyes to open wide. "Drink... karne ..se kisi.. ka character ..kharab ..nahi.. ho jata... maine....to bas...unka ...dil rakhane...ke liye...piya...tha aur... pata nahi...chala...ki...kab...." And he was lose his conscience and his eyes closed.

She fell on the floor with a heavy heart and cried of her fate that gave her always pain.

"Sameer aap bhi dusro ki tarah nikale...jo apni wife par jor ajamaish karte hai. Mujhe laga tha aap duniya se hatkar bilkul alag hai, lekin aaj aapne mera bhram tod diya. Mujhe reality dikhane ke liye thank you Sameer." Naina muttered with heavy heart glancing his sleeping figure. Her heart had broken as he had slapped her for the first time, while she had also raised a hand on him but she had done out of compulsion, as he was forcing himself on her and tried to wooing her under the effect of alcohol.

Sameer had raised his hand on Naina once before but had not slapped and that time Naina had made a mistake, and today he had not only raised his hand again but also left its impression on her soft cheek.

Naina was disheartened as he had not only hurt her but also he had ruined their special day and those words came out of her broken heart. Tears were beginning to blur her vision and she cried in pain burying her head in the knee.

For once she would have forgiven him for hiding his drinking habit, but the way he tried to force himself on her, slapped her and abused her, all this broke her heart. He had promised her many time he would not hurt her but today he had broken his promise.

When her sob was a bit lessen, her eyes darted to Sameer. His upper body was on the bed and half lower tangled on the floor. He had slept without caring anything in the uncomfortable position.

Seeing his innocent face, her anger melted slightly and she forgot his bitter words for a moment. She got up from the floor then removed his shoes and socks and placed him on the bed in the comfortable position. She removed his blazer that he could sleep peacefully.
