Sameer left for office after taking a promise from Naina that she would just take rest and if he gets late, she would have dinner, not wait for him.

Naina spent her day take rest and some time gossiping with Deepika. After lunch when Naina slept, Deepika went to her room to rest. In the evening, Deepika came to the room holding a plate of fruits and juice for her but she ordered Deepika to keep it on the table. Deepika to insisted her to take fruits but Naina refused as she was unwilling to eat. After sometime Deepika left as she go to study. She sat on table for writing something. Before she started writing, a soft touch interrupted her and she turned back and found Sameer was there.

"Sameer....itni jaldi kaise." She surprised.

"Meeting aaj nahi hui...kuch document ready nahi the... isliye meeting parso shift kar di hai...kal tumhara check up hai na." As she nodded her head, he infuriated seeing her and scolded. "Tumhe mana kiya tha na likhane se...ek baar likhane baithati ho to sab bhul jati ho."

"Just abhi hi baithi thi..." Naina replied but he signalled her to stop showing his palm.

"Kitni baar kaha hai...aise mat baitha karo par tumhe meri baat manni hi kahan hai...karo apne mann ki... phir mujhse kuch expect mat karna." Sameer sat on the bed with grumpy face.

Naina got up from the chair and sat beside him. She swayed his face to her.

"Doctor ne kaha hai na rest karne ko...phir sunti kyo nahi ho... bas apne mann ka karti ho." He lashed out his anger at her as he was worried her carelessness for her health.

She held her ears of hands and apologized making a cute face. His anger melted at her innocent face.

He made her lay down on the bed and glanced the side table that his temper again raised, as the fruits and juice were untouched. "Ye kya hai Naina... fruits aur juice abhi tak finish kyo nahi hua."

"Mann nahi hai Sameer." She scrunched her face while glancing the fruits.

"Mai kuch nahi janta...ye sab finish karna hi hai tumhe." He grabbed the plate of fruits and juice. "Mai fresh leke aata hun."

Naina's face dropped due to his strictness and replied in an annoying tone. "Sameer mai koi beemar nahi hun, jo itni tension le rahe hai...sirf pregnant hun."

"Pregnant ho isliye bol raha hun." He left the room throwing a deathly glare.

Naina touched her over-sized belly and murmured in a complaining voice. "Dekha baby tumhare papa kitna gussa karte hai...aap na ek baar aa jao phir hum bhi apni team banayenge aur jab bhi papa gussa karenge to hum dono unse bilkul baat nahi karenge."

"Lagta hai mere bachhe se meri shikayat ki ja rahi hai." Sameer said entering the room and smiled seeing her talking and caressing her belly. He approached her and fed her a slice of apple then insisted her to drink juice.

"Ha to aap kaam hi aisa karte hai shikayaton wali.... mujhe ye fruits aur medicine nahin hai pasand.... phir kyo jid karte hai." She disgrunted to see the fruits.

"Naina ye sab mai tumhare achche ke liye hi to karta hun... tum agar healthy food nahi khaogi to phir hamara bachha kaise healthy hoga. Kya tum chahati ho ki hamara bachcha kamjor ho...nahi na...to bas kuch dino ki baat hai....aur doctor ne bhi to full rest karne ko kaha hai, time pe food aur medicine lene ko kaha hai....janta hun tumhe kuch achcha nahi lag raha hai par please hamare bachhe ke liye... please Naina.." He looked at her face, there a sadness appeared and he cleared his intentions for her care. "Mai tumhe force kar raha hun uska ye matlab nahi ki mujhe sirf baby ki fikar hai tumhari nahi...iss bachhe se jyada tum mere liye important ho aur uske liye tumhara healthy rahna jyada important hai... mujhe na tumhari aur hamare bachhe... dono ki fikar hai...."

"Sorry Sameer mai bhi na kabhi kabhi bahut ziddi ho jati hun aur aapko pareshan kar deti hun...par kya karu pichhle month se kuch bhi khane ki ichcha nahi hoti..." She looked at him with watery eyes. "Aur rahi baat iss bachhe ki to ye hamare pyaar ki nishani hai Sameer, mai ise kuch nahi hone dungi, uska mai bahut khayal rakhungi."

"Chalo ab rest karo...dinbhar tumne aaram nahi kiya hai.... Deepika ne mujhe bataya." He said strictly.

"Jhuthe....by the way aapne use apne pichhe jasoos chhod rakha hai...aap na bure ho." She slapped his arms giving him a angry look.

Sameer showed fake scaring face but deep down he enjoyed her childish behaviour this day.

He chuckled at her antic. "Madam ke aajkal bade mood swings ho rahe hai...so to be ready Mr. Maheshwari aaj raat ki nayi farmaaish ke liye."

Naina heard his comment of her behaviour and she became grumpy. "mai aapko pareshan karti hun...jaiye ab mai aapse kuch nahi kahungi...aur na hi aapki baat manugi...mai na vahi karungi jo mera dil karega."

Sameer repented to dare saying those words infront of her and he cursed why he uttered this things. He frightened if he not handled her mood swing now then she would almost harm herself.

"Naina... Naina... yaar tum to chota sa mazak bhi nahi samjhati...maine kabhi tumhari koi wish puri nahi ki hai batao...jab bhi tumne kuch manga hai gaya hun na lene, bina time dekhe ... yahan tak ki aadhi raat ko bhi... lekin koi baat nahi, aage se tum vahi karna Jo tumhe theek lage." He made a sad face and his expression almost near the verge of crying.

"Sameer i am sorry...pata nahi kyon achanak se kabhi bhi gussa ho jati hun.... aapne to mera bahut khayal rakha hai... office me itne busy hote huye bhi ...i am proud of my husband." She felt disheartened to hurt him.

"That's like...i love you my grumpy but sweet wife....now it's time to rest." He covered her with the blanket patting her head. He left the room for some office work after changing his dress.

Other side she felt of his action under the blanket and let down tears on her face as she sensed he had gone out of room, she opened her eyes.

"Sameer mujhe pata hai aapne iss bachche ka bahut intezaar kiya hai....bhale hi aapne mujhe kabhi nahi kaha par jab bhi aap Munna bhaiya ya Pandit jijaji ko unke bachcho ke saath dekhate the aapke mann me bhi apne bachhe ki chah uthati thi...aur aaj jab aap ka sapna pura ho raha hai to uske liye aapki chinta normal hai...yakin maniye Sameer mujhe bhi iss bachhe ka utni hi besabri se intezar hai jitna aapko hai."

Naina's POV

Lekin yahan tak ka safar itna bhi aasan nahi tha...kai utar, chadhav, uljhano aur pareshaniyon ko paar kar yahan tak pahuche hai.

Mujhe yaad hai wo din jab hamari first wedding anniversary thi aur uss din Sameer ne mujhse unexpected gift mang liya...mai hiran hokar bas unhe dekhe jaa rahi thi...he wanted a child. Pahle mujhe laga hamesha ki tarah mazak kar rahe the... lekin unki aawaj me jo heavyness tha us se laga ki wo serious hai...us raat Sameer ke mann me bachcho ko lekar jo chah thi wo unhone jatayi thi par mera dar jankar wo chup rah gaye aur force nahi kiya....

lekin us raat ke painful incident ke baad Sameer ne kabhi bachche ke baare me baat nahi ki.... shayad unke mann me dar tha ki kahi mai phir se gusse me unhe chod kar na chali jau...uss raat jo unhone mujhe kaha tha un sab baaton ka guilt unke dil me bahut gahri baith gai thi...

Samay ke saath mai bhi ye baat bhul gayi. Mahine beete aur mere PhD ke first year ka result aa gaye jisme maine university top kiya tha. College se mujhe guest professor ka offer aaya tha aur mai accept karu ya nahi decide nahi kar paa rahi thi, agar mai ye offer accept karti to mere upar Ghar ki, padhai ki aur as a teacher responsibility badh jati....Lekin ye uljhan bhi Sameer ne mujhe encourage karke khatam kar di...ki aisi opportunity hamesha nahi milti...aur mera dar dur kar diya ye assure karke ki wo har kadam par mere saath rahenge.

College join karte hi hum dono apne apne kaam me busy ho gaye...starting ke kuch months to theek hi the par shayad kuch dori thi jo kamzor pad rahi thi par iska ehsaas tab nahi hua tha. Un dino din kab beet jata tha pata hi nahi chalta tha...jahan Sameer pure din office work se thak chuke hote the, jaldi so jate aur kaam ki tension me thode ukhade ukhade rahte the vahi dusri taraf mai apne college ki teaching life ko enjoy kar rahi thi aur college work me busy thi jiske karan mai unke irritation ko samjh nahi paa rahi thi.

Dekhate hi dekhate humne hamari second marriage anniversary bhi celebrate kar li par iss baar sirf close friends aur family ke saath... iss ek saal me jaane anjaane kahi na kahi hamare beech me duriya aa gayi thi jo dikhai nahi deti thi par hum dono dil se mahsoos kar rahe the... Mai apne college me aur ghar ko manage karne me lagi rahi aur Sameer business ko expand karne me lage the. Sameer ke har month ek business trip to ho hi jata thi... kabhi mai free hoti to mujhe saath le jaate, kabhi mai hi mana kar deti thi...

Bhale hi duriya aai thi par Sameer apna pyaar hamesha jatate the kisi bhi tarike se phir chahe ho unki baaton se ho, unke romance se ho ya physical intimacy se ho...par dheere dheere jab Sameer ka work load bad gaya maine mahsoos kiya Sameer shayad se physically mujh me interested nahi hai aur wo pahle ki tarah pyaar bhi nahi jata rahe hai....par ye sirf meri galatfehmi thi.... hamare beech jo duriyan aayi thi uski vajah thi hum dono ka ek dusre ko time na de pana..

Aur ye baat realise mujhe tab hui jab meri Chachi ji se baat hui aur unhone pucha tha ki mere aur Sameer ke beech sab theek hai na aur maine haa kah kar baat talne ki koshish ki...par Chachi ji ne jo baat kahi wo sach thi aur unki baaton ne mujhe rasta dikhaya tha ki hamara rishta kis taraf ja raha hai.

She lost to recall their conversation.

"Beta bhagwan jhut na bulaye.... Maine to isliye puchha kyonki teri shaadi ko do saal se upar ho gaya hai aur Sameer bhi uske business me hamesha vyasat rahta hai, to mujhe laga wo tumhare liye samay nahi nikal paa raha hai aur jab pichhali baar tum dono ghar aaye the to Sameer pahle jaisa khush bhi nahi laga, ho sakta hai ye sirf, mera bhram hi ho." Bela doubted their relationship going well.

"Chachi ji Sameer business ki vajah se bahat tension me rahte hai isliye aapko aisa laga hoga...wo kabhi mujhe ignore nahi karte aur pahle ki tarah hi mujhe pyaar karte hai." Naina tried to hide their relationship.

"Beta ye to bahut achchi baat hai ki Sameer itna vyasta hone ke baad bhi tere liye samay nikal leta hai...ye pati patni ka rishta jo hai na bahut najuk hota hai, iss rishte me thode si bhi galatfahmi se rishte me khatas aa jati hai aur agar time pe bachcha na ho to bhi duriya aa jati hai....beta jaldi bachcho lene ko tum aajkal ke bachche purani soch samjhate honge, lekin beta wo bachcha hi hota hai jo pati patni ko ek dusre se jod kar rakhata hai unke rishte ko mazboot karta hai....

ek samay ke baad jab unke jeevan me neersata aa jati hai to wo nanhi si jaan hi hota hai jo unko ek duje se bandh kar rakhata hai ek atut bandhan me aur unke jeevan me khushiyan bharata hai.... Naina tumhe lag raha hoga mai purane soch ki baat kar rahi hun... aajkal kon itni jaldi bachche chahate hai...par beta jab tak pati patni maa baap nahi ban jate tab tak unke jeevan me ek adhurapana hota hai jo uss bachhe ke aate hi pura ho jata hai....ab tu Pooja ko hi dekh do saal ke andar hi uski god bhar gayi thi... rahi baat Preeti ki to use ye khushi der se mili par ab uski ek beti hai...jiske saath Preeti aur damad ji khush hai."

After a pause she continued. "Naina mai tere par koi dabav nahi dal rahi par beta tujhe aur Sameer ko iss baar me sochna chahiye...dekhana ek baar bachcha aa jayega to uss bachche ko dekhkar Sameer office ki sari thakan bhul jayega." Naina heard her advice silently and Bela asked hesitantly. "Naina....kya Sameer itni jaldi bachcha nahi lena chahata...wo kya hai shayad uski soch thodi morden hogi."

Naina regretted herself as Sameer never disowned the baby, he always eager to baby. "Chachi ji Sameer ko to bachche bahut pasand hai ...in fact unhone to khud...." But she stopped to think what she was going to say.

Bela also understand her hesitation and said to her in understanding tone. "Beta tum dono samjhdaar ho achha bura jante ho...par tum dono ko dekhkar maine jo mahsoos kiya wo kaha...ek baar iss baare me sochana zarur Naina, iss se pahle ki der ho jaye."

"Ji Chachi ji." She agreed with her.

Uss din Chachi ji ki baaton se laga ki mujhe hamari first anniversary ke baad Sameer se iss baare me ek baar baat karni chahiye thi.. phir maine socha agar Sameer ko bachche itne jaldi chahiye hote to mujhe kahte.. lekin us din ke baad to unhone kabhi mujhse bachhe ka jikar hi nahi kiya hai... aur maine mann banaya ki aaj Sameer ka achcha mood dekh kar baat karungi kyonki Chachi ji ne kuch to soch kar kaha hoga.

Lekin iss se pahle ki mai Sameer se baat kar pati wahi hua jiska dar Chachi ji ko tha aur mai iss baat ko samajh nahi paa rahi thi shayad unhone iss situation ko pahle hi bhanp liya tha.

Sameer aur mai mandir gaye the aur jab hum pooja karne ke baad mandir se bahar aaye, kareeb 3 saal ka ek bachcha aakar Sameer ke pairon se lipat gaya aur rone laga...uss bachhe ko rote dekh unse raha nahi gaya aur use godi me utha kar chup karane lage...jab unse chup nahi hua to mujhe de diya, us pal bachhe ko godi me lekar ek alag hi sukun mila tha.

"Koi maa itni laparwah kaise ho sakti hai ki apne hi bachche ko chhod de...Naina tum to hamare bachhe ko aise kahi bhi nahi chhod dogi na."

Maine Sameer ki shikayat bhari aawaj suni aur us waqt Sameer ki aankhon me ek narazgi thi jaise ye hamara bachcha ho aur Sameer mujhse bachche ko lekar laparwahi karne par naraz ho aur maine apna bachav kiya.

"Nahi Sameer...aapko lagta hai ki mai hamare bachche ko aise kahi bhi chhod dungi...use to mai apne se bilkul bhi door nahi hone dungi."

Aur jab mai uss bachche ko uski maa ko vapas deke aayi maine Sameer ki baaton se unke dard ko mahsoos kiya jo unhone bachpan me jiya tha.

"Naina koi maa itni patthar dil bhi ho sakti hai kya?....apne bachhe ko kahi bhi chhod de...pata nahi kaisi aurat hogi wo....agar wo bachcha gum jata ya koi utha le jata to...log maa to ban jaate hai par apni responsibility bhul jaate hain...kya bachhe paida kar dene se responsibility puri ho jati hai...unhe achha pariwar aur perfect life dena bhi unki responsibility hai."

Mai chupchap unki baatein sunrahi thi kyonki wo galat nahi the. Unki baaton me ek baichani thi.

"Sameer aap ki baat sahi hai par aap itna bhadak kyo rahe hai. Wo bechari bhi pareshan thi...dhudh rahi thi na wo bhi apne bachhe ko."

"Jab itni hi tension me thi to haath hi kyo choda tha, tumne uss bachche ko dekha tha bechara kitna dar gaya tha anjan logon ke beech... tumhe kya pata kitna dar lagta hai jab kisi anjaan jagah par aapki maa chhod kar chali jaye..." He looked at her sarcastically. "Sorry mai bhi kise bol raha hun... tumne thode na ye dard jiya hai jo mahsoos karogi...aur vaise bhi aakjal ki ladkiyon ko bachche bojhe lagte hai to kya pata janbhujkar chhod diya ho... tumhe bhi to bachhe bahut badi responsibility lagte hai to uski side to logi hi na."

Sameer was not in his senses due to anger for his mother as this incident made him recall his childhood memories that was filled with pain only pain. He was not understand what he was saying. He indirectly blame on her reluctant to the child.

Ye sab sun kar mai kuch pal ke liye awak rah gayi...ki Sameer ke mann me mere liye itni kadwahat bhari hai aur dil inti jor se tuta tha ki aankhon me aasun aa gaye, iss baat se ki Sameer mujhe itne saal me itna hi samjha paaye hai aur meri tulna kisi bhi ladki se kar sakte hai, aur phir meri himmat hi nahi hui ki mai Sameer ko aur kuch puchhu ya apni safai me kuch kah saku....bas aankhon se aasun bah nikale.

Par jaise hi Sameer ne mere aansuon ko dekha... unhe realise hua ki gusse me hi sahi par bahut dil todne wali baat kahi hai... aur unki aankhon me bhi aansun aa gaye. Wo itne dukhi the ki unhone phir se mera dil tod diya.

Mai kuch aur galat soch pati Sameer ko apni galti realise ho gayi thi aur car ko side me rok kar maafi mangi thi jo unhone Dil se mangi thi aur unka gussa unki maa ke liye tha jo jane anjane mujhe par nikala tha.

Lekin unki baaton ne mujhe ye ahsaah dila diya tha ki unhe bachche bahut pasand hai aur aaj tak wo bachche ko jimmedari kahne wali baat bhule nahi hai... uss pal mujhe samajh aa gaya ki agar maine aur der ki to shayad hamara rishta pahle jaisa na rahe aur Chachi ji mujhe yahi baat samjhana chah rahi thi.

Aur us time mujhe ye ehsaah bhi hua ki ek time ke baad rishton me khichaw aane lagta hai chahe kitna hi pyaar kyon na ho aur bachhe unn duriyo ko kam karte hai.

Uss din college se lautate time park me ek maa ko apne bachche ke saath dekhakar alag hi khushi hui aur laga kash mera bhi bachcha hota to aise hi mai bhi use park me ghumane lati, uske saath khelati...aur ek khalipan mahsoos hua ...laga kuch to kami hai life me...aur Chachi ji ki har baat sach lagi.

Aur phir bina der kiye us raat jab maine Sameer ko apni ichcha jatai to unhe laga shayad mai unki baaton se hurt hokar ye phaisala kar rahi hun aur wo phir se maafi mangne lage the.

"Naina i am sorry subah mujhe wo nahi kahna chahiye tha...wo pata nahi gusse me kaise muh se nikal gaya par mera intention tumhe hurt karna nahi tha actually us bachhe ko dekh mujhe mera bachpan yaad aa gaya aur mummy ka gussa tum par nikal gaya." He regretted of his words.

"Nahi Sameer mujhe ab hamare apne bachche chahiye...jab mandir me uss bachhe ne mujhe kaskar gale lagaya tha to laga kash ye mera apna bachcha hota jo mujhe aise gale lagata." She cried.

"Tum mat ro Naina hamare bhi bachche honge aur dekhana tum na ek bahut achchi maa banogi.." He eased her pain through his encouraging words.

"Sach na." She asked with a cute face

"Haa meri jaan...par uske liye aise rone se kuch nahi hoga, kaam par lagna padega na." He said with a mischievous smile.

Uss din mujhe laga mai apne purane Sameer ko dekh rahi hun. Mahine beet rahe the aur har month Sameer ki curiosity ye sunkar nirasha me badal jati ki iss month bhi period aa gaye par apni udasi chupa kar mujhe cheer karte.

"Abhi hamari umar hi kya hui...aur bachche koi bhage thode na jaa rahe hai aaj nahi to kal ho hi jayenge tum tension mat lo."

Dheere dheere unhone ye janna hi chhod diya ki mujhe period aaye ya nahi... isliye ki mai dukhi na ho jau... dekhate dekhate hamne hamari teesri wedding anniversary bhi celebrate kar li par koi result nahi tha... lekin Sameer ka pyaar kam nahi hua tha aur time ke saath hamare mann se bachche wali baat bhi nikal gai thi sab humne bhagwan ji par chod diya tha...ki unki jab ichcha hogi hame ye khushi denge. Ek din jab mummy ne bachhe ke baare me pucha to mai bahut udas ho gayi thi par jaise Sameer sab samjha gaye aur phir kabhi mummy ne iss matter pe baat hi nahi ki.

Aur itne salon ke intzaar ke baad hamari zindagi me wo din aaya jiska hum dono ke saath saath hamare family ko bhi bahut intezaar tha.

POV end

She remembered that day when they both received this happiness.

Flashback

Six months before.

Sameer and Naina were sitting at the dinner table for breakfast. Naina took out aalu paratha of the utensils and placed it Sameer's plate. She felt nausea and ran to the bathroom.

When she came out of the bathroom Sameer first made her sit on sofa and made her drink to water then bombarded questions.

"Naina do din se roj morning me vomiting ho rahi hai...aur aaj teesara din hai. Kyo apne health ko lekar itni laparwah ho...chalo aaj pahle hospital chalate hai uske baad mai office chala jaunga." Sameer said in a strict tone.

"Sameer kuch nahi hua hai...wo kal neend nahi aayi thi shayad isliye hoga. Aap tension mat lijiye aur breakfast kar lijiye." Naina refused him to go to doctor and explained the situation to cause the nausea.

"Tum na bahut ziddi ho yaar kal se kah raha hun lekin mana kiye ja rahi ho...aaj tum college mat jao." He frowned.

"Mai theek hun Sameer...ghar pe bhi kya karungi." She dejected of his suggestion.

Once they both finished their breakfast, he reluctantly allowed her to go college and he dropped her at the college. As she came out of the car, he stopped her.

"Aaj rest kar leti to kya jata... lekin nahi madam ke liye apni health ko chhod sab important hai." He rebuked while glaring her.

"Bas na Sameer aur kitna sunayenge mai bilkul theek hun." Naina defand her side.

"Ok...take care." He reluctantly left there.

She waved her hand and entered the building with a smile remembering his overprotective nature and concern for her. As she reached the staff room where only her friend Anjali present. She was two years elder than her and she also married. She shared a great bond with her and had shared a lot of things of her life with Anjali.

"Kaisi ho Anjali" Naina asked.

"Mai to theek hun par lagta hai tere aur Sameer ke beech kuch theek nahi hai." Anjali questioned.

At first Naina was stunned and speechless to think what she had known but hiding her nervousness she replied. "Sameer aur mere beech sab theek hai."

"To phir aaj Sameer tujhe dhant kyo rahe the... College aate time dekha maine." Anjali gave a questioning look.

"Sameer to aise hi naraz the." And she told that she has been vomiting in the morning for the last few days and he was adamant about going to the doctor.

Anjali became serious hearing her problem and agreed with Sameer. She too suggested her at least a checkup after knowing she had suffered last three days.

As Naina came out of the school gate she was surprised as Sameer stood at the school gate while waiting her and was leaning against the car. She didn't expected him this time, he already informed her in the morning that he would busy in the office work so he will send the driver. She settled in the car absentmindly as Anjali suggestion repeated her mind and she was thinking how would she brought this topic to him and tell him to go doctor.

Sameer glanced her once sitting on the driving seat and he started the engine. When he didn't bear the silence between them he opened his mouth to say.

"Naina tumhari tabiyat to theek hai na... nervous lag rahi ho." He asked in a soft voice seeing her fidgeting with her dupatta.

"Nahi to...mai theek hun...aap bataiye itni jaldi kaise aa gaye, morning me to aaj bahut kaam hai bata rahe the." Naina replied calming her heart beat.

Sameer took a deep breath before saying further and he was slow down the car speed and stopped the car.

"Naina kal mujhe Delhi jana padega, urgent meeting aa gayi hai, tumhe bhi apne saath le jata par..." He stopped and looked at her confused face.

"Par kya Sameer." She asked holding his hand.

"Mere saath Munna aur Munshi ji bhi jaa rahe hai...but mai try karunga ki raat tak vapas aa jau." He assured her that he will return as soon as possible.

"Kitne baje ki flight hai." She asked.

"Morning 7 ki." He told started the car.

Next day in college when Naina and Anjali were alone in the staff room. Anjali asked in low voice. " Naina tu kal doctor ke paas gayi... kya kaha doctor ne."

"Are yaar time hi nahi mila." She replied.

"Naina aise mamlo me der nahi karte...tune Sameer ko bataya." Anjali looked at her with expectation.

"Sameer Delhi gaye hai." She informed.

"Naina agar tu kahe to mai chalu tere saath." Anjali offered to go with her.

"Mai chali jaungi...thank you tune mere liye itna socha." She thanked with a soft smile.

"Meri friend hai to kaise khayal nahi rakhungi...aur aaj doctor ke paas chali jana... varna mai Sameer se teri complain karungi...phir tu hi jhelana Sameer ka gussa." Anjali warned her to complain Sameer with affection.

After college Naina went to doctor and the doctor said after check-up.

"Congratulations Naina... you are pregnant." Doctor gave her a best news in her life.

"Sach doctor." Naina asked with a heavy voice and tears shimmered her eyes. As she and Sameer waited this news for the long time.

"Yes ...you are pregnant and tumhari health ki condition janne ke liye ek blood test karna hoga uski report kal aa jayegi to apne husband ke saath aana... mujhe unhe bhi kuch advice dena hai... maybe ye tumhari first pregnancy hai...but abhi ye kuch medicine start kar dena." Doctor gave her a prescription.

"Thank you Doctor... mai kal report lene aa jaungi." Naina answered with a bright smile.

As soon as she came out of the doctor's cabin her happiness had no bound as she got a unexpected news and she beraly uttered few words. "Sameer...kash aap mere saath hote."

She left of the hospital and thanked to God for giving this happiness in their life. She started planning how would she tell Sameer this good news and what would be his reaction. She was so confused that she did not know when she reached home and she had spent many hours before night to think the way she would express this happiness to him.

"Sameer aaj hamara sapna pura hua hai aur meri kismat dekhiye aapse ye good news share bhi nahi kar sakti... kyonki mujhe aapki aankhon me wo chamak dekhani hai jab mai ye good news aapko bataungi....wo khushi dekhani hai jo aap kab se chahate the." She touched her stomach. "Iss bachche ki chahat mujhse jyada aapko thi....ab bas jaldi se aap aa jaiye, mujhse ye khushi nahi sambhal rahi hai." She got excited to see happiness in Sameer's face and impatiently waited to him return from Delhi.

She wanted to the day memorable for both and made many plans but her every plan rejected by herself some reason. Now she was frustrated as she didn't any best idea to share this most awaited news to Sameer.

"Dinner plan karu terrace par....phir bataon bataon me bata dungi" She thought but rebuked herself. "Tu bhi na Naina....Sameer travel karke aayenge to thodi na heavy dinner karenge...to phir...." She again drowned making plan. "Iss din jab hum dono ne itna intezar kiya hai to yaadgar to banana hi hai...par Sameer pure din ki work se tired honge to kuch aisa plan karti hun jo simple ho aur un tak mai apni baat pahucha saku." Suddenly she got up from the bed with excitement. "Ye to best hai." She engaged herself for preparing to give a surprise to him.

She sent Ramdhari to market and she made something in the kitchen. She had set up a surprise for him in guest room and now she was waiting him in the hall. It was 9 o'clock at night. She started watching the TV and the time was passing but there was no trace of his coming nor he called her. Each passing second a disappointment appeared on her face. But she was calming her heart that he will be fine and will come any moment as he had said he would returne the night. She stayed awake for half an hour and then soon dozed off while watching TV.

Her sleep broke by a touch and she sat up hurriedly seeing Sameer. She tried to get up but he stopped her.

"Naina tum abhi tak yahan mera intezar kar rahi thi...kyo?. He asked tugging a loose hair strain behind her ear and lost into her sleepy eyes.

Instead answering she requested. "Sameer aap fresh ho jaiye thake honge mai aapke liye khana room me le aati hun."

"Tum ne dinner kiya na." He asked and she nodded her head in yes.

As Sameer climbed up the stairs she did immediately many trips from kitchen to the guest room and arranged the food. Then she headed to the bedroom after everything set up.

"Naina tum to khana lane wali thi khana kahan hai..." Sameer asked seeing her empty hand.

She approached him and requested in a low voice holding his hand. "Sameer guest room chalenge aapko kuch dikhana hai... please."

Sameer wondered and internally delighted thinking. "Lagta hai aaj romantic mood me hai tabhi kuch special plan kiya hai... isliye itni request kar rahi hai... achha hai...har baar mai hi approch karta hun...aaj isne kiya hai...par mai bhi itni aasani se nahi manunga...thoda to bhaw khana hi chahiye."

"Naina kya dikhana hai, kal bata dena...meri bhukh se jaan nikal rahi hai." He made a grumpy face.

"Please Sameer bas do minute phir khana kha lijiyega." She requested.

"Agar tumhe nahi khilana to mai aise hi so jata hun." He started going to the bed.

Naina became sad and dejected as her plan failed. She grabbed his hand and apologized in heavy voice.

"Ruk jaiye Sameer mai abhi khana lati hun...bhukhe pet mat soiye." She walked out of the room with teary eyes.

She had rarely moved two or three steps ahead when a strong hand caught hold of her and pulled her towards him. He wiped tiny silver drops from her cheek.

"Chalo kya dikhana chahati ho." He said.

"Aap ko to bhukh lagi hai na." She looked at him surprisingly.

"Mai to mazak kar raha tha apni jaan se." He winked.

Her sad expression replaced into anger. She walked back to the room saying. "Jaiye ab mujhe kuch nahi dikhana."

He apologized holding both his ears and followed her with sulk face as his trick backfired him.

"Sorry Naina...." He requested making a childish face. "Please bata do kya surprise hai." Seeing her unaffected expression he started to walk out of the room. "Theek hai to mai khud jakar dekh leta hun."

"Nahi Sameer." She screamed but he pulled her with him.

As they reached the guest room, the room was completely dark. He looked at her with suspicious gaze.

"Naina adhera kyo hai." He asked with a curious tone.

Naina said to him for switch on the light and when the light spreaded throughout the whole room. Sameer was froze and his eyes inlarged in shock. His heart started throbbing rapidly and his lips were moving but no words came out from its.

As the room was decorated by Naina according to her plan. The wall that was face of the door, it was decorated by the balloons and posters. The flower patels was scattering on the floor through the door to the wall. "Welcome... soon to be father" were written in the poster with colourfull design. It was written by her hand and two kids photo pasted on the poster, one of the boy and other was girl.

He absorbed the whole decoration and his mind again mode on working, he turned to her.

"Nai...Naina.. ye.. sach hai." He was stammering and his voice chocked.

She only nodded her head giving him a tearful smile.

"Matlab mai papa..." He said indicating himself and looked at her happy face. "Aur tum mammy... hamara bachcha Naina." His throat choked and he was fighting back his tears.

"Haa Sameer... aakhirkar bhagwan ji ne hamari parthana sun li." She said with heavy voice.

He kissed her forehead and took her in a bone crushing hug with teary eyes. He whispered in soft voice. "I love you Naina."

"Love you to Sameer." She wrapped her arms around him and he also enveloped her in his embrace.

After pulled away Naina whispered. "To ab muh meetha kare."

"To phir dur kyu jaa rahi ho... meetha to yahi hai." Sameer murmured eyeing her lips.

She rolled her eyes at him and pushed him away. She took a bowl in her hand and fed a full spoon of gazar halwa to him saying. "Mai iss meethe ki baat kar rahi thi."

"Ohh...par ye meetha kuch pheeka hai...tum hi test karo." He fed her halwa and he pushed a spoon of halwa in his mouth. He closed his eyes to relish the sweet and murmured making a sound. "Wow....ab aai hai mithas."

Then Naina served him a light dinner as he had travelled. Sameer also fed her some bite thinking now his life completed. His heart swelled in happiness and he could not the state that he described his happiness in words whereas Naina was elated to see the spark in his eyes and happiness in Sameer's face. She arranged the whole decoration only to see this million dollar smile on his face. His excitement boosted her happiness thousand folds. She would do anything for him then this was nothing.

Once the dinner over, he asked her when she know of her pregnancy and why didn't tell him in the morning. Naina told him how she realised that maybe she might be pregnant then this evening when she visited to the doctor and she had confirmed the pregnancy. Since that time she had been eagerly waiting for him to share this news with him and she made a sulk face.

"Sorry Naina.... meeting was too long that I was expected....aur jab airport pahuche to early night wali flight take off ho chuki thi." Sameer was clarification of his late arrival.

"It's ok Sameer....i am not complaint." She shrugged off her shoulder.

Sameer lift her in his arms without prior telling and started to walk out of the room. She gasped and her breath heaved.

"Ye kya hai Sameer." She perplexed.

"Apne room ja rahe hai sone... tumhe nahi sona hai." He gave her a neutral look as nothing happened.

"Sameer utariye mujhe aap thake honge." Naina protested.

"Thaka to tha par tumne jo itni badi good news di hai usse sari thakan chali gayi...aur abhi surprise tumhe return bhi to karna hai." He countered her.

"Kya." She confused.

"Are tumne itna pyara gift diya hai to mujh se uska return gift nahi logi." He asked in a husky voice.

She understood his meaning and hid her face in his chest locking her hands behind his neck.

He climbed the stairs slowly taking her carefully and made her sit on the bed. Then he also settled beside her and hugged her tightly.

"Naina... hamari life complete ho gayi...thank you Naina... mujhe meri life ki best khushi dene ke liye." And tears shone in his eyes.

She caressed his cheek with her thumbs and whispered kissing his cheek. "Thank you Sameer meri life me aane ke liye aur mujhe pura karne ke liye...Maa banna har ek ladki ka sapna hota hai aur aaj mera wo sapna bhi pura ho gaya."

He cupped her face and sucked those precious tears drop that brimmed down on her soft skin. He lifted up his face and as their gaze met, a shy smile tugged on her lips and he smirked.

"Now time for return gift...my sweetheart." He whispered in a husky voice.

He lay down her on the bed and looked at her face intently. He leaned down forward and showered soft kisses on her face. Without warning he claimed her lips passionately then gently untangled her arms from his neck and he moved down on her neck and peppered open mouth kisses.

Her breath hitched when he nibbled her shoulder blade pulling down her night dress slightly. She was ephorbic to feel his lips on her skin after a longtime. She pressed his face on her skin more. After some time giving his marks on her whitish skin, he moved down on her stomach and pulled up on her night suit. As soon as her creamy skin revealed, he leaned down and kissed her belly.

"Baby your father waiting for you....so soon you come." He repeated this words kissing her stomach.

As tiredness engulfed him, he fell asleep on her stomach put his head. Naina caressed his hair with a smile but soon she realised it was could harm the baby and she lay down him properly on the bed. She kissed his cheek seeing his innocent face where some frowned line appeared.
