Swati - Haa par tu karne kya wali hai?

Naina - ( Taking a step forward and smirking) Thinking of plucking out the only obstacle of my path.
Mr Sameer Maheshwari get ready coz is baar tumhara muqabla kisi normal ladki se nahi Naina Agarwal se hoga so all the best. ( in a sinister voice)

Naina - Get me the information as soon as possible.

Swati - I surely will.

At 5:30 pm :

Naina - ( entering through the connecting door) Swati chal ghar chalte hain abhi toh us angry bird ko bhi manana hai.

Swati - Haa chal aur sun uski favourite chocolate pastry lete chalenge dekhna kaise pastry dekhte hi gussa thanda ho jaega madam ka. ( chuckling).

Naina - Haa zaroor lete chalenge chal abhi tu jaldi chalte hai nahi toh usi chocolate pastry se headshot padega hume ( chuckling ).

Both of them got out of the office and headed towards the nearest bakery.
___________________________

Sameer was sitting in his office working on his laptop, his expressions were stern as always, it wasn't long before he received a call, he picked up his phone only to hear a hell worried Munna on the other side.

Munna - Hello! Hello! Sa.....sameer tu mujhe sun sakta hai na? ( with a trembling voice ).

Hearing Munna's trembling voice Sameer also got worried and tension lines were clearly visible on his face but he still managed to speak out.

Sameer - H...ha Munna main sun sakta hu tujhe par hua kya hai? Tu itna ghabraya hua kyu hai? Sab theek toh hai na?

Munna - Nahi Bhai kuch bhi theek nahi hai. Pandit ka accident ho gaya hai. Bahut khoon beh raha hai. Main bahut dar gaya tha, hamari car bhi kharab ho gayi thi aur ghar ke paas hi the hum log toh main use sidhe ghar le aya. Doctor ko call kiya tha par wo bhi raste mein hai. Bhai tu please yaha aja Pandit ko kuch hoga toh nahi na? ( with a teary voice).

Sameer - Mun....munna tu tension mat le main abhi ata hu tu bas doctor ko bol ki wo jaldi aye main...main abhi nikalraha hu aur sun nanu ka bhi khayal rakhna in sab se dekhna ki kahi wo zyaada stressed out na ho jaye aur tu chinta mat kar Pandit ko kuch nahi hoga main kuch bhi hone nahi dunga use. ( stammering and in a determined tone ).

As soon as he hung up the call he rushed out of the building not caring who came in his way. No one even dared to come in his way since they all still wanted to live atleast a few more years. He got into his car and rushed out of Maheshwari Industries speeding up his car to reach his brothers as soon as possible.

Sameer's P.O.V

I picked up my phone only to hear Munna's trembling voice, he was on the verge of breaking down and it was evident in his voice. I was hell worried hearing him like this many thoughts came rushing inside my mind and I started sweating almost instantly. Hesitantly I spoke further.

" H...ha Munna main sun sakta hu tujhe par hua kya hai? Tu itna ghabraya hua kyu hai? Sab theek toh hai na? "

I managed to speak this? Like wasn't it clear in his voice? Ofcourse nothing was right you dumbass idiot. Agar sab kuch theek hota toh wo mujhe call hi kyu karta? None of my brothers were cry babies so it had to be something damn serious if Munna was on the verge of crying. Finally catching his breath he spoke.

"Nahi Bhai kuch bhi theek nahi hai. Pandit ka accident ho gaya hai. "

That was it, my heart dropped a thousand feet hearing him. Puri duniya mein mere paas sirf mere nanu aur mere do bhai hai aur main kisi bhi keemat par unhe kuch bhi nahi hone de sakta. I can do anything for them and when I say it I mean it.
Upon hearing Munna I felt as if time just stopped or maybe it was because I wanted it to I was praying desperately for this to be a mere joke or nightmare but what Munna said was true because no one had the audacity to play up with " The Sameer Maheshwari" well, maybe, except my brothers but that wasn't the point now so as soon as he hung up the call I rushed out of the building and hurriedly got into my car, I was on the road driving like a mad man, not really caring for whoever came infront of me it wasn't late enough before I realised the moisture building up in my eyes, I was on the verge of crying no this can't be happening I hadn't cried in years I remember the last time I cried was on my parent's funeral and I swear never had I ever again cried in my life and neither I wanted to but I guess today finally my dam of emotions was going to break letting all my inner anger and grief take over me. Fucking emotions I so damn hate them. I didn't realise the speed of my car until I arrived at the mansion's gate, I had covered the 30 mins journey within just 12 minutes no wonder I was driving really fast.

P.O.V Ends

As soon as Sameer reached his house he rushed inside but surprisingly the whole mansion was dark with absolutely no source of light since it was already 7:15, night had already set in making it impossible for anyone to see anything without light.

Sameer - Hello! Koi hai? Kaha gaye ho sab? Munna? Pandit? Nanu? Kaha ho sab?

He started walking towards the switchboard, since they were living in the same mansion for many years now it wasn't really difficult for him to find the light switch. As soon as he turned on the light everyone came out from the places where they were hiding and screamed together.

"SURPRISE!!!!"

The sudden act caused Sameer to jump a little bit and he was about to take his gun out when he saw all the familiar faces standing in the crowd it was just his family. Relief washed over him but the next moment realisation hit him hard. Pandit was injured so what the heck was he doing in the crowd shouting a damn 'surprise' for no real reason?.

Sameer - ( standing infront of Pandit and examining him from head to toe) Tera toh accident hua tha na? ( narrowing his eyes).

Pandit - Hua tha theek hogaya ( teasing).

Sameer - Halwa hai kya? Theek hogaya ( mimicking ) matlab tum logo ne yeh sab jaan booch ke kiya tha?

Munna - Haa

Sameer - Saale kamine kya haa? Tujhe pata bhi hai? Jaan nikal gayi thi meri bhaagta bhaagta aya hu yaha pagal toh nahi hogaye tum sab? Aur kya hai yeh sab? Kyu kiya yeh sab?

Pandit - Dekha bola tha na maine yeh haramzada bhool hi jaega.

( kitna pyaar hai na teeno bhaiyo ke beech? Note the sarcasm ).

Munna - Bhai tera kuch nahi ho sakta birthday hai aaj tera aja chal cake kat te hai.

Sameer - Kya? Mera birthday? Aaj? Ooh? Acha haa mein toh bhool hi gaya tha par ek minute nanu kaha hai?

Just then nanaji's voice came from the back .

Nanu - Main yaha hu mere sher kya hua kaam mein birthday bhi bhool gaya? Beta kaam zaroori hai par itna bhi nahi ki usme khudko bhi bhool jao ab abhi tumhari shaadi hogi, biwi ayegi aur phir bhi tum aise hi cheeze bhoolte rahe toh dhake marke ghar se nikal degi fir footpath pe manana apna birthday. ( laughing )

Sameer - ( slightly blushing ) Kya nanu aap bhi apko toh pata hai na ki main kisi se bhi kabhi bhi shaadi nahi karunga.

Nanu - Haa pata hai par baat yeh bhi hai ki teri umar mein main bhi yahi bola karta tha par fir meri shaadi teri nani se hogayi aur sab badal gaya, aur mere kabhi kisi ke pyaar mein na padne ki aur kabhi bhi shaadi na karne wali promise wohi pe hi toot gayi( chuckling ).

Pandit - Acha nanu ab kaate cake? Sachi bahut bhook lag rahi hai. ( clutching his stomach).

Nanu - Chal bhukkad kahinka ( laughing ) chal Sameer jaldi se cake kaat le nahi toh bhook ke mare yeh hum sab ka dimaag kha jaega.

All the four laughed at this and Sameer went forward to cut the cake meanwhile everyone else started singing the happy birthday song. All of them fed each other the cake and even smudged the icing on Sameer's face, finally after having a lot of fun together everyone retired to their rooms to let sleep take over them.
__________________________

According to the plan Naina and Swati had bought Preeti's favourite chocolate pastry on their way back home for her and Preeti being Preeti couldn't control herself anymore and snatched the pastry from Naina's hand and started devouring the cake.
The pastry plan seemed to be really effective since after having the whole pastry her mood changed instantly and she forgave Naina for her overreaction.

All of them chatted for about half an hour before having their dinner and then went back to their rooms to lay down on their bed and escape to their dreamland as soon as they can.

It was almost midnight but sleep was far away from the eyes of our rival couple - Samaina.

Not being able to sleep, Naina finally got up and walked to her closet, she took out a photo and walked back to her bed. The photo was of a kid who seemed to be around 5-6 years, she looked at the moon for some time and then diverted her gaze towards the photo. Caressing it gently she spoke.

Naina - Happy birthday Sameer. Pata hai jab Sameer ka naam suna tab ekdum se laga ki tum wapas aa gaye ho par fir pata chala ki uska naam " Sameer Maheshwari" hai " Sameer Somani" nahi. Pata hai bahut samay se wait kar rahi hu tumhara par tum ho ki aate hi nahi. Meri yaad nahi ati? Aur itne saal hogaye par ek baar call tak nahi kiya mujhe nahi milne ki koshish ki aur mujhe toh yeh bhi nahi pata ki ab kaise dikhte hoge wohi bachpan wale cute+angry young boy Sameer hoge ya badal gaye hoge. Waise kya tumhe main abhi tak yaad hungi? Pat nahi tum ab duniya ke kis kone mein hoge ab toh aisa lag raha ki wapas tumhe kabhi dekh bhi nahi paungi.

A lone tear escaped her eyes saying this but she quickly wiped it off and keeping the photo in the drawer went back to her bed to sleep.
______________________________

Sameer was staring at the photo of a little girl who probably looked to be of 3-4 years.

Sameer - Pata hai Nainu birthday hai aaj mera aur main toh sach mein bhool hi gaya tha ( pinching his neck) I swear (lowering his eyes ) par tumhe yaad hoga kya? Yah tum bhi meri tarah hi bhool gayi hogi? Waise Nainu tumhe pata hai meri ek rival hai uska bhi naam Nainu I...I mean Naina hai. Pata hai uska naam sunte hi mujhe laga jaise ki meri Nainu mere paas wapas aa gayi hai par fir pata chala ki uska naam Naina hai Nainu nahi. Waise Nainu tum kab aogi? Ab aa bhi jao na itne saal hogaye hain aur aaj tak nahi dekha tumhe pata nahi ab kaisi dikhti hogi wohi bachpan wali chubby bunny jaisi ya fir ho...I....I mean khoobsurat acha waise main tumhe ab yaad bhi hunga ya nahi? Nainu please na kuch bhi karke wapas aa jao na tumhara Sameer tumhare bina bahut akela feel kar raha hai haa nanu, Munna, Pandit sab hai par tumhare bina khaali khaali sa lagta hai bahut yaad ati hai tumhari please aa jao na.

He then wiped his moist eyes and hugging the photo, laid his back on the bed and finally drifted off into deep slumber.

This much for today.

What do you think will they ever be able to know that they are unknowingly searching for each other?

Just wanted to make one thing clear that :
Samaina were childhood friends(*clears throat *well lovers we can say maybe ) who got separated at a very young age but both of them still remember each other.
Also since everyone used to call Naina-Nainu, Sameer being really young mistook Naina's real name as - Nainu so now he thinks both of them are two different girls.
