The morning was blissful for both of them. Naina opened her eyes hearing the chirping of birds and found her and him so close. She remembered last night and a smile crept on her face as thinking how soft he was last night. The way he showed only his need longing her, it's took her heart again and she couldn't stop herself to kiss him. She first kissed on his chest then she kissed both his cheek and she was about to lift herself but a strong arms pulled down her again.

"Kaha chali Mrs. morning kiss diye bina." He whispered on her ears.

She felt a hot breath fanning on her face and she replied with a smile. "Wo mai de chuki hun." And she tapped on his cheek.

"Wahan nahi yehan pe meri jaan." He lifted his eyebrows tapping his finger on his lips.

"Sameer tang mat kariye na aaj bahut kaam hai." She came out of his grip and pulled up her nighty.

"Kya Naina...jab dekho tab kaam hi hote hai." He was irritated and his face sulked instantly.

"Achcha theek hai... only five minutes phir aap mujhe jane denge.. lunch tak mummy bhi aa jayegi." She agreed seeing him sulking.

Hearing his mother arrival, it's realised him that he will be going away from her next day. His heart pricked and again sank a unknown fear. But he didn't show it to her.

"Mujhe nahi chahiye...kuch bhi." He covered his face with the blanket.

Naina bewildered to his sudden strange behaviour and called him two or three time but he had no response. She went to the bathroom for freshned.

Sameer rebuked himself on his impulsive behaviour. "Tu bhi na Sameer kya zarurat thi aise react karne ki...tu hi nahi wo bhi to dukhi hai...aur tu apne inn utpatang harkaton se use aur jyada dukhi karega."

***********

Sameer came the home with his mother as he had gone to receive his mother from the airport. Ramdhari came with her luggage and he went to kitchen to bring water and something for Vishakha.

Deepika ran towards Vishakha and hugged her mother tightly. "Mummy... maine aapko bahut miss kiya."

"Maine bhi mera bachcha." Vishakha showed her love patting her head and she looked Sameer and Naina. "Aur tum dono ko bhi kiya."

Naina was benting to touch her feet but she stopped her and hugged. "Beta aisi halat me, nahi jhukate."

Once they settled on the sofa, Vishakha asked Sameer sipping the tea. "Kal ke liye teri packing ho gai."

"Abhi nahi hui hai." And he looked at Naina who sat just beside him and Vishakha noticed their exchanges and rebuked. "Kabhi to apna kaam khud kar liya kar sab meri beti se karwata hai...wo bhi iss halat me."

"Mummy ye dinbhar khali baithe rehti hai, thoda bahut body movment hona bhi zaruri hai isliye... nahi to mai kab ka kar leta."
Sameer dared to open his mouth against his wife but in lastly seeing her infuriated face, he scared.

Naina glared him before speaking. "Mummy lunch ke baad karungi...inke bharose rahe to kal tak bhi packing nahi hogi."

"Bol to aise rahi ho tum, jaise bachapan se mere sare kaam karti aa rahi ho... tumhare aane se pehle mai hi apne sare kaam karta tha...koi nahi tha meri dekhbhal karne ke liye." Sameer unintentionally pulled the string of his childhood days.

Hearing Sameer comment about his early life, everyone fell silent. Vishakha again sad of her previous mistake and Sameer cursed himself why he made his mother guilty. Naina sensed tension brewing between them, she decided to change the topic.

"Aap pahle karte rahe honge apna kam khud se... par shaadi ke baad aap koi kaam nahi karte..." She batted her eyes at him and turned to Vishakha. "Mummy pata hai sab mere upar dal dete hai... office se aate hi apne kapde bed par chod dete hai...mai unhe collect kar arrange karti hun... varna ye to pura room bikher kar rakh denge." Naina complained of him with a helpless face.

Sameer irked by her comment about his daily habit and he bickered. "Achcha mai room phailata hun to tum kya karti ho... dinbhar bas chid chid karti ho, Sameer yahan kyo rakha vahan kyo rakha...sab kuch kya mai, tumhare hisab se karunga."

"Mai din bhar chid chid nahi karti...bas room ko arrange karne ke liye hi to kahti hun." Naina replied with a hint of exasperation.

"Tum na bahut..." Sameer was about to say further but Vishakha's loud voice stopped them.

"Bas...karo tum dono...kitna ladte ho.. tumhari ladai dekhkar kon kahega tum dono mummy papa banne wale ho....mai to ye soch rahi hun, kaise rahte ho tum dono ek saath ek ghar me aise ladte huye." Vishakha astonished of their quarrel and rebuked them.

"Mummy... bhaiya aur bhabhi ka roj ka hai...inhe lade bina chain nahi milta...hai na bhaiya." Deepika teased Sameer.

"Tu na, aur aag me ghee dal de." Sameer scoffed glaring her and Deepika hid herself behind Vishakha.

Naina felt that the their normal banter could turn into a severe fight, which she didn't want and now was the time to stop it, so she made an excuse. "Mummy aap thak gai hogi thodi der rest kar lijiye phir lunch karenge."

"Haan...tum bhi jao thodi der aaram kar lena." Vishakha looked at Sameer. "Ab phir se jhagadne mat lag jana meri beti se."

Sameer face dropped, Deepika could not stop her giggle and fled with her mother as received a hard glare from her dearest brother.

As Naina entered the room, she opened the cupboard and took out a trolley bag from the lower compartment. She first wiped it then kept on the bed and opened it to put on his clothes. She opened his closest and thought how many set she kept in the bag.

Just then Sameer came to the room and Naina asked him scanning of his clothes.

"Sameer aapke kitne set dress pack kar dun."

"Sare kapde kar do." Sameer replied in a frustrated tone.

Naina turned her face to him and said in a soft voice. "Sameer aap vahan basne nahi ja rahe sirf ek week ke liye jaa rahe hai."

"Jab tumhe pata hai to puch kyo rahi ho ...kar do pack ek week ke hisab se." He irritated.

"Aap aise jhalla kyo rahe hai." Naina asked seeing his irritated face and went to him. He sat on the sofa with a grumpy face.

"Neeche jo maine kaha use lekar naraj hai...to i am sorry Sameer... mai bhi pagal hun bina soche samjhe kuch bhi bol deti hun wo bhi mummy ke samne." She accepted her defeat because she did not want him to be angry with her, when he left tomorrow.

As she apologized, Sameer realized that he was doing wrong by getting angry with her without any fault of hers.

"Not you, Naina...i am sorry...har baar mai hi to tumhe pareshan karta hun...tumhara kaam bada deta hun...ab tum ek hafte fursat se rahna." He apologized to her sincerely but his manner and choice of words went wrong and their fight escalated.

"Kyo baat ko kheench rahe hai...agar aapka ladne ka mood hai to theek hai...mai Mummy ke pass ja rahi hun... phir aap packing khud se karna...mai koi help nahi karungi." She exasperated of his mood and her steps moved towards the door with a angry face.

Sameer closed his eyes for a second with a frustration and scolded himself under his breath. "Tu maafi bhi theek se nahi mang sakta... aur ulta baat ko bigad diya...ab ye mummy ke pass pahuch gayi to soch le tu."

Seeing her steps, he immediately got up from the sofa and called her name that she had turned to him. He was coming closer to her dengerously with intense gaze and she stepped back slowly in nervous that her back hit on the door. He caged her against the door.

"Tum itna bhi nahi samjhati i am teasing you jaan." He said in a sweet loving voice and caressed her cheek gently. His fingers brushed down on her neck that made her week and she clutched his shoulder tightly.

As Sameer noticed her anger melted he again said in a soft voice but it was a bit annoying. "Ye kya Naina baat baat par chod kar chali jati ho...soch lo mai agar chala gaya to dobara nahi aaunga."

Naina put her palm on his mouth and said with a heavy voice. "Kaisi manhoos baatein kar rahe hai...aap mujhe chod kar jaa hi nahi sakte...aapki jaan to mai hun na."

"Wah re aadarsh wadi nari bahar pati se khub jhagdo aur phir band kamre me pyaar bhari baaton se bhole bhale pati ko bahla phusla lo." He muttered under his breath but it was heard by her.

Naina pushed him away with fiercy eyes and complained going towards the bed. "Aapko lagta hai maine ye sirf kahne ke liye kaha...nahi Sameer... aapke bina ye Naina kuch nahi hai...par shayad aapko mere pyaar par bharosa nahi hai."

"Hey bhagwan aaj mere saath itna galat kyo ho raha hai... kahne kuch aur jata hun aur bol kuch aur raha hun." He thought in his mind and looked up the sky with pleading face and he took his feet towards his angry cum emotional wife. He knelt down in front of her.

"Naina mujhe sabse jyada tum par bharosa hai... agar vishwas na ho to mere aankhon me dekh lo." He made a most innocent face and pouted his face.

Naina smiled at his childish act and cupped his face. She bent down her face at his and kissed his forehead.

"I trust you Sameer more than anyone...aap hai to mai hun... lekin aap gussa mat hua kariye...meri jaan nikal jati hai." She was scared thinking if he would angry with her.

He got up from the floor and sat beside her. He rubbed his nose with hers cupping her face. "You too cute... yaar i melted your innocence."

"Bas bas maska baad me lagana...abhi packing kar le." Naina said pushing him away and she strode towards the closet, opened it and asked Sameer.

"Bataiye kon kon se dress pack karu." She asked.

Sameer was half lying on the bed, rested his chin on his palms and lost in his wife confused face. He gestured a shirt to pull out. "Naina wo gray wala nikalo."

As Naina showed him, he rejected scrunching his nose. "Ye achcha nahi hai...tum na wo blue wala nikalo."

He again rejected and again pointed a shirt. As she pulled out, he again rejected. He did it three to five time. Naina irritated of his rejecting the dresses.

"Ye nikalo ....wo nikalo... bahut nakhare hai janaab ke." Naina muttered and frustrated dumping the shirt in the cupboard. "Aap hi nikal lijiye." And she was about to close the door but he held her hand and entwined their fingers. He took their hands under the closet and pulled out a white linen shirt.

"Ye rakh do..." And untangled their fingers then he pulled out some more dresses. "Ye sab bhi rakh do."

Naina without say anything doing her work and when Naina finished her work, Sameer said her. "Naina tum rest kar lo baki ki packing mai kar lunga."

**********

The lunch was most entertaining affairs of them and after lunch they were all enjoying their leisure time with gossiping to the random topics while Sameer had gone out of the house after lunch, it's meant only ladies enjoyed each other's company.

"Naina.... Sameer ne phir se jhagda to nahi kiya na." Vishakha suddenly asked.

And a blush crept on her cheeks to remember of his romantic side inside the room and replied in a stuttering voice. "Na.hi...kiya...mummy... aur packing bhi khud se ki."

"Par ye gaya kaha hai." Vishakha perplexed.

"Mujhe bhi nahi pata mummy...thodi der me aata hun kah kar nikal gaye." Naina also surprised.

It's one hour passed he had gone and seeing there his no trace of coming, Vishakha said to her to take rest. In the meantime Sameer entered with a polly bag.

"Tu kaha gayab ho gaya tha aur kya hai tere haath me." Vishakha asked curiously.

"Mummy mai Naina ke liye icecream lene uske favourite shop gaya tha." He turned to Deepika. "Tere favourite bhi laya hun...jaa ise fridge me rakh de." He handed it to Deepika.

Naina looked at him with loving gaze.

"Icecream khate huye mujhe yaad karna isliye laya hun ...kahi bhul gayi to." Sameer teased her with mischievousness smile.

"Sameer..." Naina whined.

"Okay baba .. sorry." Sameer hold one his ear making a sorry face.

Meanwhile his mobile rung and he attained the call reluctantly as it was office number. As the call disconnected, he informed them with a dejected face. "Mujhe abhi urgently office jana padega... sorry Naina... socha tha aaj ki sham tumhare saath bitaunga."

"Kyo baat nahi Sameer...kaam jyada zaruri hai." Naina assured him that she was not disappointed.

Sameer left for the office and after that everyone retired in their room. Naina opened his bag and scanned the bag but their was nothing except his few dress that she had kept before lunch. She

"Sameer ko aane me kitna time lagega pata nahi...mai hi pack kar deti hun." She muttered.

She packed his night dress, and some other essential things. She kept a first add box. When she lay down on the bed her mobile vibrated

As the call connected Sameer requested her from other side. "Naina please mera bag pack kar dena... mujhe bahut late ho jayega."

"Maine already kar diya hai." As she informed him, his lips upward into a smile and he wondered how his wife understood his need without saying. He muttered himself. "Kya gajab ki tellypathy hai."

**********

In the night Sameer returned just before dinner and had dinner with his family. After dinner he handed some files to Naina to keep them in the office bag.

"Mummy aap Naina ka theek se khyal rakhna...aur raat me uske hi saath sona...kabhi kabhi use ghabrahat hoti hai." Sameer requested to his mother when Naina went out of his sight.

"Tu fikar mat kar teri Naina ka tujhse bhi jyada achche se dhyan rakhungi... aise maine tum teen bachcho ko bada nahi kiya hai." Vishakha said with a concern and chuckled of his overprotective side.

"Thank you mummy...ab mai tension free hoke ja sakta hun." He hugged his mother with a wide smile.

"Mujhe thankyou kahega...teri maa hun koi ajnabi nahi...jaa Naina tera intezaar kar rahi hogi." She caressed his hair with affection.

Sameer went to upstairs taking a long steps and he locked the door stepping inside the room. He scanned the whole room but his wife was no where to be seen. He wondered where she could gone. He strode towards the balcony and his wife was staring the moon.

"Nainaaa." Sameer whispered her name encircling his arms behind her.

"Sameer...ye chand to ek hi hai na." Naina asked still looking at the shining moon.

"Haan kyo?." Sameer questioned looking at her.

"To phir aap vahan London me ise dekhna aur yahan mai...phir hame duriyon ka ahsaas nahi hoga...aise lagega jaise hum ek dusre ko dekh rahe hai." Naina said with a chirping voice turning back to him.

"Kya idea hai...aur hum phone par baatein phi karenge...to phir duriyan to mahsoos hi nahi hogi." Sameer elated of her suggestion.

"Aur ek week palak jhapkate hi nikal jayega." Naina replied with a soft smile.

Sameer tightened his arms and whispered in her ears. "Par tumhe aise apne bahon me thode hi le paunga."

Sameer tickled his nose on her ears and tender skin of her neck and soothed his ears of her care free giggle. "Tumhe tang thode hi kar paunga aur tumhari ye hasi ... bahut miss karunga... Naina."

His voice broken at the end but he controlled his raising emotions and took her in the room.

"Kahan le jaa rahe hai." Naina asked when he walked out of the room wrapping his arms around her shoulder.

"Long drive par." Sameer replied.

"Sachchi." Naina jumped in excitement.

"Dheere...chalo." As she nodded he took her carefully of the climb down in the stairs and adviced her. "Tum na har waqt ghode par sawar rahti ho, iss halat me thoda carefully chala karo."

"Ok...pati dev aur koi order hai aapka." Naina irritated.

"No." He replied.

They reached the parking and Sameer opened the car door to make her sit. "Naina baitho."

But she stood with perplexed look. "Hum isme jaa rahe hai."

"Haan.." He replied and noticed disappointment on her face. "Kahi tum bike to nahi soch rahi thi." As she nodded, he rebuked. "Pagal nahi hun mai jo itna bada risk lunga...long drive enjoy karna hai to ye hi ek option hai tumhare paas...and choice your go or not."

Naina sat in the passanger seat with dejection and Sameer chuckled seeing her sad face. He started the engine and zoomed off the car with full speed on the empty road.

"Sameer speed slow kariye." Naina scared of his suddenly full speed car driving.

"Naina long drive ka maza full speed me hi aata hai." Sameer replied looking straight on the empty road.

"Mujhe nahi karni aisi long drive... please Sameer slow down." She requested with scary face and closed her eyes.

"Okay madam..." He slow down the car speed and chuckled seeing her. "Maine speed kam kar di hai... aankhe khol sakti ho."

She slapped him arm and looked outside of the window. Sameer laughed at her cute face and stopped the car near the icecream parler. He went out of the car and returned in five minutes. He gave her a icecream which was her favourite's flavour.

"Happy." He asked taking the driving seat.

"Aap nahi khayenge." She looked at him.

"To drive kon karega." He replied turning towards her.

Naina brought her icecream to his mouth and he took a bite. "Yammy." And she shared the icecream with him. She swayed into a wave of pleasure peering at the beauty of the night beauty in the moon light, out of the window and and calmness of the cool night filled her heart with a content. Before she could get rejoice much, a deep masculine voice blocked her ponder.

"Naina agar tum pregnant na hoti to ye hamari abroad wali honeymoon hoti...mai tumhe saath le jata... khair ab kya ho sakta hai...meri to kismat me honeymoon likha hi nahi hai."

With a dejection, he slumped down his shoulder glancing her relax feature and his eyes lashes fluttered hid his misery. His face plunged down as just a pain arised in his heart to going away from her.

Meanwhile Naina cheeks instantly turned crimson at the just mention of honeymoon but she replied pushing back of her shyness, seeing his gloomy face.

"Gaye to the... Ooty... phir Jaipur aur haan....wo Pune bhi to gaye the." Naina reminded him of their visiting many places.

"Are wo sab to business trip the." He replied quickly making a innocent face.

"Par Ooty to nahi tha." She quiped.

"Lekin wo proper honeymoon bhi kaha tha...wo to mai tumhe..." But he stopped as realised what was he going to say.

"Wo kya Sameer..." She looked suspiciously.

"Wo to surprise tha na... honeymoon to wo hota na jab hum puri planning karke kahi sirf ghumne jate." Sameer altered his words.

"To ye London bhi to business trip hi hai phir ye kaise honeymoon hota." Naina retorted back.

"Mai iss baar puri planning karke jata...ise business trip cum honeymoon me convert karta... meri jaan." Sameer said in excited voice.

"Aap na pure pagal hai."

"Haan tumhare pyaar me."

Naina blushed deeply and placed her head on his shoulder. As she put her weight on him, his eyes turned to her. He caressed her hair one of his hand with a loving smile and focused his eyes on the road.

While Naina lost thinking about her life with him as he gave her immense love which she had never imagined from her life partner. As they both had spent such a long time with each other, yet there was no decrease in Sameer's love, in fact it was increasing day by day and after her pregnancy, his love increased immeasurable that, sometimes it was very comforting and sometimes it was very irritating for her. Sameer was her love and the reason for her to live and now another happiness was going to be included in her life, which was a sign of their love and the reason for their happy life.

And suddenly a flash light brought her back to present and she realised, they had come too far, she called his name gaining his attention. "Sameer."

He quivered his brows glancing towards her and she spoke. "Sameer ab wapas chale bahut der ho gayi hai....phir kal aapko jana bhi hai."

"Thodi der aur Naina... please." He requested.

"Nahi Sameer late ho jayenge... already 11 bajne wale hai....aur wapas jane me bhi aadha ghanta lagega." Naina denied with a worried face.

Sameer agreed with her and he took u-turn to back home. He drove the car glancing his wife who was now yawning. He asked to her health and she assured that she was fine.

"Sameer...samne dekhiye." Suddenly Naina screamed as her eyes went on the road, a truck was coming towards them and it was a turn.

Sameer immediately took the car off the road to escape the accident and applied brakes. The car halted with a jerk that both bent forward. He lifted his head and stared in front of with a wide eyes. His heart was throbbing wildly and his hands trembled which were on steering wheel. He couldn't utter any words for a few seconds. His facial expression was near the lost of everything and he couldn't understand what happened to them as his mind became numb.

Naina also shocked of this unexpected accident and her heart also pounded vigorously and her whole body shuddered thinking of the consequence.

As Sameer regained conscious after a while, he immediately looked towards Naina and straightened her on the seat and checked her face and body to see if there was any damage.

"Naina tum theek hona...kahi lagi to nahi." He asked in a shaky voice and touched her stomach.

"Sameer i am fine...aur baby bhi." Naina answered with a calm tone and kept her hand on his shaking hands. "Kuch nahi hua hai...hum sab safe hai...aap itna mat ghabaraiye."

His heart still hammered against his chest and his breathing was uneven. He terrified considering about the loss in his life...his love...his Naina.

He cupped her face with his trembling hands and pressed his forehead to hers. He sobbed to put her in danger. As the water dropped on her cheeks, she pulled away him.

"Sameer aap ro kyo rahe hai..." And Naina held his hand and grazed it on her face. "kuch nahi hua hai...mai safe hun." She assured him again and wiped his tears caressing his cheek.

"I am sorry Naina... maine tumhe khatre me dal diya tha..." He said with a hiccup and clutched her hands on his palms firmly.

"Meri taraf dekhiye...sabse badi baat hum dono safe hai aur driving me aisi situation to aati hi rahti hai na...to phir itna dar kyo rahe hai... vaise bhi mere husband na driving me expert hai." She encouraged him and tried to erase his fear which now occupied in his heart.

"No Naina...i am not a perfect driver." He voice faltered as he had lost his confidence.

"Sameer." She took his face in her hand and looked straight into his scary eyes. "Meri aankhon me kahi dar dikh raha hai...nahi na to phir aap kyo dar rahe hai...ye bas ek chota sa incident hai aur kuch nahi... chaliye car start kariye hamare baby ko aaram karna hai...hai na baby." She asked caressing her belly and put his hand on her belly. "Beta papa ko bolo hame jaldi se ghar le jaye... mumma ko bhukh bhi lagi hai."

Sameer smiled of her cute face and voice and muttered under his breath. "Nautanki... kaise manana hai achche se janti hai."

He started the car with trembling hand but he was confident as his wife clutched his arms with a genuine believe as he was her saviour not a destroyer.

Naina was talking with the baby till reach the house and Sameer took her in the room carrying her in his arms. He again quick tripped to kitchen to fetch some foods and icecream with her.

In the midnight Sameer was not on the bed when Naina eyes opened. She waited him coming back to the bathroom but when he didn't come more than ten minutes. She got up from the bed, pushed the balcony door and found him there.

"Sameer yahan kyo khade hai." Naina asked putting her head on his back.

"Neend nahi aa rahi thi." He replied simply.

"Aap wo car incident ke baare me soch rahe hai na." She asserted.

"Nahi." He answered but his grip tightened on the grill.

Naina sensed his body stiffed and she turned him to face her. She found his eyes were again misty and full of pain. Her heart tightened seeing him restless.

"Sameer jo bhi hua use ek bura sapna samjha kar bhul jayenge." She advised him to forget the dreadful incident.

"Nahi bhul paa raha Naina...socho agar ek second ki deri ho jati to kya hota...ye mujhe baichain kar raha hai...mai so nahi paa raha hun..." And he looked down at the floor and after a long pause he broke the silence with a stuttering voice.

"Ma...mai..mai nahi jaa paunga London Naina." He felt defeated and had lost in his courage in front of her. His condition was very vulnerable.

Naina was taken aback of his breakdown as she never expected, her Sameer would lose of his courage. One who always encouraged her, now the state of losing himself was piercing her heart with a pain and she decided, being his wife it was her duty to support him in his weak moments and give back his courage.

"Ye kya kah rahe hai Sameer...jo hua nahi hai uske baare me soch soch kar aane wale kal ko barbad nahi kar sakte... aur aap kab se iss tarah kamzor hone lage." She was pretending to be harsh with him.

Seeing her words not affected him, she said in curt tone. "Maine kisi looser se pyaar nahi kiya tha Sameer...maine to uss Sameer se pyaar kiya tha jo mujhe encourage karte the... jo mujhe logon se, situation se ladne ka housla dete the...iss looser se to bilkul bhi nahi...ye mere Sameer ho hi nahi sakte...chal Naina ye koi aur hai "

She was going towards the room but a strong grip halted her step. She turned to him and found a painful gaze on her.

"Kya kaha tumne...i am looser...no Naina...par baat jab tumhari aati hai mai ho jata hun looser...kya karu bahut pyaar karta hun tumse.. isliye tumhe khone se darta hun...ab tum mujhe looser kaho wo bhi chalega...but I can't afford to lose you." He replied with a heavy heart.

Naina sensed his fear but making her strong she tried to convince him. "Sameer aise emotional hoke decision nahi liye jate...aap ke iss ek phaisale par kitne logo ka bhavishya tika hai...aap sirf akele ke liye ye phaisala nahi le sakte... Sameer apke office ke workers aur employees ke baare me sochiye jinke ghar aapke yahan kaam karke chalte hai... agar aaj aap pichhe hatte hai to, aap un sabki ummeedon par pani pher denge... kyonki ye contract cancel hone par jo loss hoga use cover karne ke liye aap bahut sare logon ko nikal denge aur unka bhavishya andhkarmay ho jayega... yahan aapko sirf apne aur mere baare me na soch kar un logon ke baare me sochna hai jo aapse jude hai... jinke hard work ki vajah se aap ek successful business man hai, jinse Maheshwari industry ka naam hai...koi bhi decision lene se pahle ye soch lijiyega...aapka ek phaisala bahuto ki zindagi badal dega."

Naina went to the room leaving him in a deep thought.

Sameer stared the moon wondering what he would do as her words echoed in his mind and his heart knew somewhere, she was right. He was not the only person, who would be affected by his decision but it would also have an impact on many people working in his office. After a lot of argument and debating his heart and mind, he took a decision which was beneficial for everyone

He came in the room after sometime and lay down beside her. As he pulled her towards him, she asked in a bit stern voice. "Kya socha aapne."

"You are right... Mai pichche nahi hat sakta...aur business me kabhi kabhi kuch decision apne liye nahi apne employees ke liye lene padte hai." He stated without any hesitation.

She just smiled hearing his decision was right.

"Thank you Naina mujhe sahi rasta dikhane ke liye...Nanaji sahi kahte the jab kabhi mai ladkhadaunga tum mujhe sambhal logi...aur aaj unka vishwas sahi sabit hua...you are show me right path." He whispered on her ears." Isliye har pal mera pyaar tumhare liye aur badh jata hai....i love you."

"I love you Sameer...par aapko ek promise karna hoga...ki aap uss incident ko dil se nikal denge aur bina kisi tension ke London jayenge." She took a promise him.

"Ok promise." He promised her.

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

The day of his departure arrived and it was heartbreaking for both of them. They made strong themselves for each others and covered their pain and fear in their smiles.

Before leaving for the airport, Sameer gave his dearest wife Naina lots of instructions.

"Naina time se medicine lena... jyada kam mat karna...aur jyada se jyada rest karna, likhne ke liye bilkul mat baithana...aur haa yaad aaya...tum terrace par mat jana...khana time se khana, jaise hi uneasy feel ho turant mummy ko batana aur hospital chali jana...." He started thinking if he was forget anything.

"Ho gaya ya aur kuch bacha hai..." She asked looking him with fake anger.

"Haan....ye ki hamesha bhagte mat rahna, jaise koi train pakadni ho samajhi...dheere dheere chalna." He strictly ordered her.

"Aur kuch." She huffed at his not ending instruction.

"Haan... Aur raat me mere call ka wait karna." He uttered in a husky voice and kissed her forehead.

He passed her but stopped before leaving the room and spreaded his arms. She reached to him and hugged him tightly. He also tightened his arms and caressed her hair.

"Sameer jaldi aaiyega...aapka baby aur uski mumma ko aap bahut yaad aaoge." Naina whispered in a creaky voice.

"I will also miss you Naina and our baby." He also replied like her way and he knelt down on the floor, planted a soft kiss on her belly. "Little Maheshwari apni mumma ko tang mat karna...nahi to papa aapse naraz ho jayenge."

"Nahi karega baby...hai na." Naina replied behalf of the baby with a soft smile.

"Good." Sameer again kissed her belly and got up from the floor. He caressed her face and wiped her tears with his thumb. "No Naina...aise roagi to mai nahi jaa paunga."

"Mai kahan ro rahi hun." Naina gave a fake smile.

"To phir ye tumhari aankho me aansu kyo hai... promise me Naina tum mere jane ke baad roagi nahi aur strong rahogi... aur tumne kal raat ko jo bade bade lecture diye the na ...wo sirf mere liye nahi tumhare liye bhi hai Mrs Maheshwari....you also part of my life and my business... promise me Naina you not crying over me." Sameer asked her for a promise in a stern voice and controlled his tears that threatened to brim out from his eyes. He didn't want to be weak in front of her and if this happen then Naina would also be weak, then he would not be able to leave her. It was tough time for them.

They both came downstairs and Sameer hugged his mother and his sister. Vishakha assured him that she would take care of his wife very well.

Everyone sent him off with blurry eyes and Sameer's eyes also became moist. Naina waved her hand until his car disappeared out of her vision.

Next update will be on Thursday.
