Happy Reading!

The next day, Sameer was woken up by the continuous knocks on the door.

He opened the door, not happy with the timing of the person, "Itni subah subah kyu aaye ho yaar..."

The person was Naina. Her heart leapt out at the sight. A loud gasp came out of her mouth, her eyes turned into saucers and she turned, putting her hands over her eyes.

He was shirtless.

Sameer rubbed his eyes, trying to clear the blurry vision in order to understand her expressions.

"Kya hua?" He was still unaware about the reason for greeting her back.

"Wo...wo Sameer...main baad main aati hu..." with that she ran towards her room, sprinting on the stairs.

Sameer made a face, "Ajeeb ladki hai yaar...ek toh neend kharab ki...aur baat bhi nahi ki..." he closed the door shaking his head.

When he went to bed, to sleep more, his gaze involuntarily drifted to the mirror and his eyes widened.

"Oh god...usne mujhe aise kaise dekh liya?" He hurriedly put his t-shirt over his head cursing himself.

The sleep was out of his eyes now. He went to the bathroom to freshen up, before Naina come again.

Naina went to her room and shut the door. She stood at the door, with a hand on her heart, trying to calm her thumping heart.

"Pagal hai kya Naina...itni subah kyu gayi tu? Bichare ki neend bhi kharab kardi aur...aur..." She was not able to fade the image of shirtless Sameer from her mind.

Sameer stood in front of mirror, combing his hairs, while whistling the tunes of 'I just called to say I love you'

He turned and glanced at the door frowning, "Ye aayi kyu nahi abhi tak?"

He looked at his watch, it's been an hour since she came. It must be something important. It should be something about Khushi.

After some time, when there was no trace of her, he thought to go himself and meet her. But he doesn't know her room number.

He walked out of his room, only to be bumped by a girl, "Sorry!"

He looked at her, with a flirty smile on her face she was gawking at him shamelessly. A crop top with a small skirt, she looked overdressed, as if trying to gain attention everywhere.. He had seen various types of girls from his childhood, trying to gain his attention, thanks to his good looks and Salman Aura. But Sameer Maheshwari was not the one who get impressed by the girls, so easily.

"Its okay! Sameeeer!" The girl replied with the same smile plastered on her face.

Sameer retorted with a fake smile, "Its Sameer and not Sameeeer!"

"Tum kaha ja rahe ho Sameeeer?" She enquired, ignoring his previous sentence.

"Mujhe kuch kaam hai actually...so excuse me?" Sameee was clearly irritated.

"Main tumhari madad kar du?" The girl didn't want to leave a chance of getting his attention. 

Sameer turned to go but stopped, "Actually yes...tumhe Naina Agarwal ka room number pata hai?"

She made a weird expression, "Tumhe uss Naina se kya kaam hai?"

"I guess...it's none of your business..." With this he turned to go again when she interrupted him, again.

"Sure! Her room number is 208! Ek baar mili thi mujhse...she is so arrogant..." She didn't want to let go of the chance of helping him, in order to get recognition in front of him but she was not happy with the fact that a handsome boy like him wanted to talk with that nerd, and not her.

"Thank you!", Without giving any attention to what she was saying, he walked away.

Quickly descending the stairs, he reached her room and knocked.

Naina was still standing at the same place when she heard a knock on the door she was standing on.

Quickly composing herself, she opened the door only to be met by the object of her thoughts. With wet hair and black T-shirt, she couldn't help ogling him. Why is he bent upon killing her today?

It was after a minute when she came back from his thoughts, hearing the click of fingers, "Oh hello!?"

She could not meet her eyes, "Good Morning!"

He nodded, "Good Morning!"

Silence.

"Wo kuch jaruri baat karni thi...isliye itni subah aana pada...Sorry...mujhe nahi pata tha tum so rahe hoge" she started, not knowing what to say.

"Tum wapas aane wali thi na?" Sameer put his hands in the pocket.

"Haan..." her eyes widened when she glanced at her watch, "Offo...itna late kaise ho gaya? Mujhe time ka pata hi nahi chala..."

She looked at him, her heart still beating at the same speed from the last hour, "Wo sorry..."

"It's okay..." Sameer smiled, "Main andar aau ki yahi saari baatein karni hai?"

Naina closed her eyes in embarrassment and then opened them welcoming him, "Ha ha bilkul...sorry..."

Sameer was amazed by the times of sorry she said in the last few minutes.

Naina never knew she would allow a boy into her room. But it was Sameer, who was breaking her each and every boundary she had. For good.

They sat on her bed with a decent distance between them.

He started urging her to speak, "Bolo..."

"Wo Khushi ke baare mein..." Naina began...looking at the floor when he cut her.

"Theek hai na woh? Tumne usse baat ki kal?" Sameer inquired with worry written on his face.

"Haan..." she looked up, "Sameer woh gurudware...

"Please! Mujhe nahi jana kahi bhi...itni si baat tum logo ko samajh kyu nahi aati?" He was frustrated.

"Kyu nahi jana hai? Tum uske liye itna bhi nahi kar sakte?" Naina knew how much he loved Khushi...but she felt bad asking him this, as it was the only option left.

"Wo jaha bolegi waha ja sakta hu...jo bolegi wo kar bhi sakta hu...bas ye bhagwan wagera...nahi!" His eyes held honesty.

"Kyu?" Her question was immediate.

"Bhagwan se nahi jamti hai meri!" His voice was flat.

"Bhagwan se nahi jamti? Kya bol rahe ho Sameer...?" Naina was surprised.

"Tumhe kya karna hai jankar? Please tumhara kaam ho gaya...main dekh lunga baki ka..." Sameer got up when Naina's words stopped him.

"Wo gurudwara tumhare liye hi jana chahti hai..."

"Mere liye?" He looked back with confused eyes.

"Haan...wo...wo...tumhara...accident...toh" her mouth couldn't form the words.

"Haan toh? Accident hua thodi yaar!?" Sameer rubbed his forehead and sat back again. 

"Isiliye...bas wo gurudware jakar...bhagwan ji ko thank you bolna chahti hai..." Naina was feeling guilty about telling him the truth as Khushi didn't want him to find out about this. But she has no other option after watching him behave so adamant.

Sameer looked at her for a second and gazed away. Now he was looking at some point in front of him. 

Naina decided to try again, "Sameer...main samajh sakti hu...ki tumhara mann nahi hai gurudware jaane ka...karan main nahi puchungi...tum chinta mat karo...par Khushi tumhari behen hai...wo apne bhai ke liye kuch karna chahti hai...jo usse karne ka pura haq hai...aur bhale hi tumhe wo chij pasand na ho...par apni behen ke liye...uski khushi ke liye...tumhe jana chahiye." She made a last attempt after finding a little hope, "Wo bhi toh tumhare liye hi ja rahi hai na...kya wo itna bhi deserve nahi karti ki uska bhai uske saath jaye...khud ke liye nahi balki uske liye?"

Sameer thought about it. He still didn't want to go. What's the purpose of joining hands in front of someone who never listened to him? But a point that Khushi was going for him, he can at least accompany her. There was no way he could upset her. And the fact that a nerd like Naina understood this point and explained it to him when he didn't even know what Khushi was feeling, surprised him more.

He looked at her, and she looked away the same instant. 

"Main...main dekhta hu..." His ego didn't allow him to say yes as saying yes was like accepting defeat. He cannot accept his defeat before Naina.

He had reached the door when heard her voice, "Hum log 12 baje niklenge..." to which he only nodded a little bit and went.

At sharp 12, Naina reached the parking area where Khushi and Aditya were deciding something.

"Main aur Naina auto le lenge don't worry!" Khushi told Aditya before they saw Naina coming towards them.

"Bohot pyari lag rahi hai..." Khushi praised Naina who was looking etheral in the salwar suit.

Though her words were genuine, the smile wasn't reaching her eyes, as it always did. Naina looked around and found no trace of Sameer. All she could feel was helplessness of not being able to make her friend happy.

"Tum bhi aaye ho Aditya..." Naina acknowledged him with a raised eyebrow. "Tune aakhir bula hi liya isse?" She teased Khushi, lightening the mood.

"Wo...tune hi bola na...isliye..."

"Bas...bas...explanation nahi mang raha koi..." Naina laughed while Aditya looked at her gratefully.

"Chalne ka kya plan hai fir!?" Naina looked at both of them.

"Main aur tu Auto mein..." Khushi replied but Aditya cut her in between.

"Naina ab tum hi samjhao isse...auto mein kyu aaoge tum dono? Meri bike le lo...main aa jata hu auto mein..." Aditya was clearly not happy with the idea.

Khushi frowned, "Maine kaha na tumse koi zarurat nahi hai...hum aa..."

"Koi nahi jayega auto mein..." Three of them turned to the direction of voice.

"Bhai!" Khushi smiled widely and ran to hug him.

Sameer smiled and kept a hand on her head. "Mujhe laga aap nahi aaoge..." Khushi voiced out.

"Aise kaise nahi aata...Khush kuch maange aur main na karu...aisa kabhi ho sakta hai kya?" Sameer felt really happy after watching her smile blissfully.

When he moved besides Naina, she saw him giving a small smile. Naina smiled back, as normally as she could, though the happiness she was feeling could not have been expressed by just a smile.
