*******

Thud!!!!

The sound of slap echoes in the room.

"O bai... Ek din iss ladki ko akela kya chorr diya...iske toh parr nikal aaye. Time dekha hai...arre yeh koi waqt hai ghar aane ka...arre main kheti hu kya zarurat thi jane ki...haa yahi socha hoga...Tai ji, Tau ji bahar gaye hai...koi rokne tokne wala nahi."
Tai ji scolded Naina.

"Theek keh rahi hai tumhari Tai ji...Rakesh na tumhari zimedaari di hai hume...kuch unch neech ho jaati toh...dhayan rahe, aage se aisa kuch na ho."
Tau ji said sternly and went to his room.

Tai ji glared at Naina and followed her husband, while murmuring.
"Pata nahi kab tak iss bhoj ko jhelna padega."

Naina just stood their keeping her head low. Her one hand was on her cheek,where Tai ji had just slapped.

She slowly walked back to her room.

After closing the door, she goes towards her cupboard. She took out an antiseptic cream and a small mirror.

Naina sat down on her bed and started applying the cream on her cheek.

"Ahh...gaal toh pura lal hogaya hai."

She saw her cheek, hand prints are visible on it.

Naina couldn't control herself anymore, she started crying.
Why she? Why?

*******

"Lo mera ghar aagya. Sameer aandar aao na... Mummy, papa se mil lo...unhe khushi hogi tumse milkar."
Sunaina said.

Sameer shooked his head.
"Nahi, Sunaina woh late ho gaya hai...next time pakka mil lunga...waise bhi school function mein mil liya tha."

She nodded and ordered her driver to drop Sameer to his home but suddenly she remembered something.

"Sameer...ek minute. Thodi derr baat kar sakte hai."

Sameer pursed his lips and was going to say 'No' when Sunaina came towards him and hold his hand.
"Itna kya soch rahe ho, Sameer? Apni dost ki ek baat toh maan sakte ho."

*******

Naina wipes her tears and again saw her face in the mirror.
She got tensed.
"Naina kal school mein kisi ne puch liya toh kya kahegi? Tai ji bhi na...ab kya karu?"

She again applied the cream on her cheek  to lessen the stinging pain.

Naina lies down and sighed. She closes her eyes and saw Sameer's smiling face.
Automatically, her lips curled too.

She immediately got up and bought her dairy. She started writing about Sameer and her beautiful moments.
"Aaj ka din best day hi tha...bss agar Tai ji, Tau ji thoda late aate toh...unki daant nahi sunni padti. Waise, aaj ka din toh hamesha yaad rahega... Sameer ko meri smile aachi lagti hai aur usne mere liye gaana bhi gaya...hum dono ne sath mein jhule per beth kar baatein kari aur sabse aacha toh tab jab usne mera hath pakad liya tha...meri toh dhadkan hi ruk gayi thi...kaash kisi se apni khushi baant sakti...kisi ko bata sakti ki aaj kuch hi derr ke liye hi sahi magar aisa laga ki Sameer aur main ek hai...ki Sameer ke dil mein bhi meri liye feelings hai.
Kaash yeh sach hota?...magar aaj jo bhi hua woh mere uss sapne ki ek jhalak thi...kaash ki roz aisa hi din hota."

*******

"Kya hua, Sunaina? Bata bhi do...Nanu ko ghar per tension na ho rahi ho ki mujhe itni derr kyu lag rahi hai?"
Sameer said annoyingly.

Sunaina smiled and said,
"Sameer mujhe pata hai...jyada derr nahi lagegi...aao toh sahi."

"Hum kaha ja rahe hai...yeh toh batao?"
He asked.

"Mere ghar ke peeche bohat bada garden hai ...udhar."
Sunaina answered.

They both reached their and Sameer again asked.
"Lo aa gaye. Ab toh batao...kya baat hai? Kya tumhe aaj ki party ko lekar kuch kehna hai?"

She shooked her head and again hold his hand.
"Tum yaha betho...main ek minute mein aayi."

Sameer was going to argue about getting late when Sunaina hurriedly went inside the house.

After a few minutes,she came with a box in her hand and sat down with him on the bench.

He looked at her in confusion.

She gave him the box and said,
"Congratulations Sameer...yeh meri taraf se tumhare liye gift...dekho mana mat karna.
Atleast khol kar toh dekho."

Sameer sighed and opens the box.
He gasped to see a black jacket with some known patterns on it.
He knew it was not a normal jacket. He picked the jacket and looked at Sunaina shockingly.

Seeing the shocked expression on Sameer's face, Sunaina chuckled and said,
"Tumhare expression dekh kar lagta hai tumhe pata chal gaya ki yeh jacket koi mamuli jacket nahi hai...Maine pyaar kiya mein jo salman ne jacket pehni thi bilkul wahi jacket hai...Sameer tumhe pata hai yeh  jacket sirf 2-3 hi bani hai...bohat unique hai, pata hai kaise...jacket ke andar jo tag laga hai usse dekho."

Sameer cautiously checked the tag and noticed Salman Khan's signature on it.

He widens his eyes and said,
"Sunaina yeh...jacket... Salman khan...sign."

She smiled and nodded.
"Haa..aur yeh meri taraf se tumhare liye gift...aur mana mat karna...meri taraf se mere sabse khaas dost ko mera pehla gift hai."

Sameer was a little reluctant in accepting such an expensive and unique jacket as a gift.
"Sunaina tum gift nahi bhi deti toh koi baat nahi thi...aur dena hi tha toh koi chota sa gift bhi de sakti thi...yeh jacket...main kaise le sakta hu."

Sunaina rolled her eyes in frustration.
"Oh come on Sameer... middle class doston ke sath reh-reh kar tumhare khayalat bhi unhi ki tarah hogaye hai...tabhi maine tumhe yeh gift waha nahi diya sabke saamne. Sameer, Mumbai mein... jab bhi mere yaha party hui ya main kisi ki party mein gayi toh mujhe bhi aise kai expensive gifts mile hai aur maine diye hai...bohat normal hai...mujhe toh laga tha ki tumhe pata hoga...huh... lagta hai Munna, Pandit ke sath reh kar tum unhi ki tarah middle class ho gaye ho...anyways, main help karungi tumhari... lifestyle change karne mein aur uski shuruwat iss jacket se...chalo pehen kar dikhao."

Sameer pursed his lips and clenches his fist.
How could she say these things about his two bestest friends... his lifelines. How dare she call them middle class and if they are, so what...he doesn't care. He just know that Munna and Pandit are those two persons in his life, who would always be there for him no matter what situation or problems he face in his life...they would always guide him.
And he can't tolerate anyone badmouthing about them or their status.

But he controlled his anger, he knew this wasn't the right time to argue.

Sameer slowly and half heartdly wore the jacket.
He admits that it was a nice jacket and after wearing that he was having a feeling of hero.
But after listening to Sunaina's so called speech on hi-fi status and lifestyle, he don't know why but he wasn't liking the jacket anymore, the jacket which was once was a dream for him whenever he saw that movie and Salman Khan..., has now become a materialistic thing only.
He suddenly wants to throw this jacket because of which Sunaina mocked about his friends status.

But Nanu's values came in between.

"Dekho kitni acchi lag rahi hai...jaise tumhare liye hi bani ho."
Sunaina's voice bring him out of his thoughts.

He just gave her a small smile and said,
"Thankyou Sunaina gift ke liye...um..ab mujhe chalna chahiye, late ho raha hai...kal school mein milte hai. Bye."

He goes and sat in the car. Sameer looked outside and saw Sunaina waving at him.
He too waved and again smiled.

Sunaina went inside the house and driver
starts the car.

Sameer sighed and looked outside the passing trees and empty road.
He crossed his arms and suddenly heard a slight, rustling of paper noise from his pocket, he checked and found a paper chit in it.

Looking at the chit, Sameer smiled widely.
He slowly opens the chit and laughed wholeheartedly looking at the lines written on it.

The driver looked at Sameer weirdly.
Sameer smiled apologetically and remembers Naina and his talk at the terrace.

Flashback

Naina and Sameer were looking at the night sky...the stars and the moon.

"Sameer...sorry, main tumhare liye koi gift nahi laayi."
She said.

"Gift ki kya zarurat thi...maine konsa world cup jeeta hai aur party toh ek bahana tha...sab doston ke sath masti aur maza karne ka...tumne Munna, Pandit, Swati, Preeti ya Sunaina...inn mein se kisi ko bhi gift dete hue dekha...arre doston mein kaise formalities."
He said and chuckled softly.

Naina sighed and said looking at him,
"Ha, woh toh hai...magar woh sab toh tumhare bohat pehle se dost hai...hume dost bane toh ek do din hi hue hai. Fir bhi tumne mujhe invite kare apne ghar...party mein...tum nahi bulate toh bhi chalta, magar tumne invite kiya aur mujhe accha laga... isliye gift toh bnta hai aur waise bhi abhi main tumhare baaki dost ke jaise khass thodi na bni hu."

Sameer turns his head and faced her.
"Mera harr dost mere liye khass hota hai...tum bhi toh meri dost ho, Naina."

Naina kept looking at him. Sameer raised his eyebrows and asked,
"Meri...dost ho na?"

She smiled and nodded.
They both laughed together.

Naina saw a notepad on the table in front of the swing. She suddenly got an idea.
She picked the notepad and tore a page from it, divides it in half and wrote something upon it and gave it to Sameer.

He looked at the paper with full curiosity.
He again raised his eyebrows.
She signalled him to read the paper first.

Sameer reads it loudly.
"Sameer ke liye,
Ek dost ka dusre dost ko lifetime promise.
                           Tumhari dost Naina."

Naina smiled and said,
"Abhi toh mere pass gift dene ke liye kuch nahi hai...magar yeh...yeh ek promise hai. Ek dost ko dusre dost ka...ki usse kabhi bhi meri zarurat pade toh-"

Sameer interrupted her.
"Toh matlab mujhe iss paper ka istamal karna hoga...apni dost ki help ke liye...tum aise hi nahi karogi."

She smiled mischievously and said teasingly,
"Accha tumne help maangi aur maine mana kar diya toh... Tab tum isse use kar sakte ho... Aur as per rule main mna nahi kar sakti...toh aapko yeh special paper chahiye ya nahi, Mr.Maheshwari."

Sameer laughed and said,
"Okay, Miss.Aggarwal...ab yeh special mauka aur special paper kaise chorr sakta hu...magar Naina tumhe bhi mera gift lena padega."

"Main...mujhe kyu...nahi Sameer."
Naina denied.

Sameer doesn't listen to her and on that half plain paper wrote down about his promise and gave it to Naina.

Flashback ends.

Sameer kept looking at the paper and smiled.
A thought came in his mind,
"Sitaron ke aage bhi koi jahan hoga,
Jo na dekha kabhi wo sama hoga, uss jahan ke haseen nazaron ki kasam,
Aap se pyaara dost dusra kahan hoga."

*******
Naina was writing about all her and Sameer special moments.
And one of her most special moments was their talk at the terrace, while sitting on that beautiful swing.

She immediately picked up her purse and took out a paper chit.
She opened it.

"From: SAMEER
Sameer ko uski sabse khaas dost ke liye...uska sabse khaas promise.
                             To: NAINA."

Naina brings it close to her heart. She blushed remembering Sameer's words.
"Mera harr dost mere liye khaas hota hai...tum bhi toh meri dost ho."

Naina again reads her today's dairy entry and smiles widely.

She suddenly remembered.
"Arre ha, yeh Tai ji ke chakkar mein...aaj ki sabsi important baat toh reh hi gayi.
Aaj Nanu ne... anjaane mein hi sahi, magar mujhe apne Sameer ke aur pass kar diya hai."

Flashback

"Arre, Naina beta...waha kyu khadi ho. Aao andar aajao."
Nanu said and smiled.

Naina cautiously enters the room. She looked around. It was not a normal studyroom...but a lavish one with a small library. A big black sofa beside the door and then a cupboard with glass doors. Many items were placed in it and one of them was Sameer's trophy.

A big study table in between and the family photo was hung, on the wall behind it

The room was like a dream for Naina. She always wanted a study room but this was like, beyond her imagination.
Soo, beautiful and vibrant with a peaceful silence.

"Lagta hai aapko hamare yeh study room bohat pasand aaya."
Nanu said, bringing Naina out of her admiration.

Her face turns red in embarrassment.
"Nahi, aisa nahi hai ...Nana ji...mera matlab Nanu...woh bss."

"Arre..itna kyu ghabra rahe ho beta...mujhe Nanu bula rahi ho toh mujhe apna Nanu maano bhi...aao yaha aakar beth jao...arram se baat karte hai."
He softly said.

Naina felt a little better, she was quite nervous before.

She sat down on the chair. Now they both were sitting in front of eac other.

"Woh...aapka study room bohat sundar...aur yeh library bhi bohat aachi hai."
Naina said.

Nanu nodded and said,
"Aapko dekhkar lagta hai ki aapko kitabon ka bohat shauk hai aur hona bhi chahiye...yahi toh hamari dost hoti hai...haina."

Naina nodded and smiled softly. Nanu and her thoughts are so similar.

Nanu continued,
"Kisi din hum apko, hamare ghar ki badi library dikhayenge...yeh library toh choti si hai aur aapko bataye, toh ek main aur Rahul hi hai... jo library mein jaate hai baaki ghar mein koi bhi nahi aapki aur hamari tarah inn kitabon ka...aur padhne ka shaukeen."

They both Chuckled.

"Nanu...apko meri koi baat ka bura laga hai matlab aaj maine koi galti kari hai...tabhi shayad apne bulaya ho...agar aisa hai toh. Sorry."
Naina said.

Nanu laughed and said,
"Aree bhai...aise koi baat nahi hai...hum aapse gussa nahi hai...woh toh hume aapki ek choti si help chahiye thi."

She gets confused and asked,
"Meri help...main aapki kya help kar sakti hu...Nanu."

Nanu sighed and said,
"Dekho beta...main apne teeno naati se bohat pyaar karta hu magar meri beti, Vishakha...usse lagta hai mere itna pyaar karne ki wajah se yeh bigad rahe hai."

Naina chuckled softly.

He smiled and continued,
"Aur mujhe bhi lagta hai shayad kahin na kahin yeh baat sach hai...ab dekh lo...inn shaitaano ki wajah se mujhe apni beti se daant khaani padi... Iss baar ki pariksha mein Deepu ke marks km aaye aaye isliye...
Maine bhi Vishakha ko keh diya ki...main Deepika ke padhai ki zimedaari leta hu."

Naina kept looking at him, still not understanding why he was telling her about this.

"Toh mujhe Naina beta aapki, issi maamle mein hi help chahiye...kya tum Deepu ko padha sakti ho."
Nanu said pleadingly.

Naina got shocked. She was not understanding why Nanu was asking her for help, he could hire the best teacher in Ahmedabad, to be Deepika's tutor. Why she?

She was going to ask answer for all this question when Nanu interrupted and said.

"Aapko yahi puchna hai ki aap hi kyu... Beta main Deepika ke liye aisa teacher chahta hu jo usse bhi pasand ho aur jo usko samjhe. Naina beta, tumhe bhi mein apni Deepu jaisa hi maanta hu... tumse kuch nahi chupana chahta...meri Deepu bilkul tumhari tarah hai...ek kaanch ki gudiya...choti si chot aur woh tut jaati hai...waise hi Deepu bhi hai. Main tumhe sab toh nahi bata sakta magar itna kahunga ki beta...Deepika ne jitna dukh dekha hai usse jyada sukh mile usse...khushi mile bss yahi chahta hu aur aaj maine dekha ki woh ek din mein hi tumhare sath bohat ghul mil gayi hai.
Naina, usse bhi apni tarah inn kitabon se pyaar karna sikha do."

Naina stared at Nanu in confusion,
"Deepika itni pyaari aur khushnuma ladki hai ki usse dekh kar lagta nahi...ki kabhi usne kuch dukh dekha ho...usko dekh kar lagta hai ki uska chehra sirf woh pyaari si smile ke liye bna hai."

Nanu smiled softly and said,
"Hm... Mujhe mere sab bacche muskurate hue hi pasand hai.Tum, Sameer...uske dost, Rahul aur Deepika...sab.
Naina beta, ek baat bolu...logo ki haasi aur unki muskurahat par mat jaana...bohat log apni ussi hassi ke peeche kitna dard chupa kar rakhte hai...main aur tum kabhi nahi jaan payenge."

She nodded in agreement.

"Par Nanu, main kaise...kab padha paungi...mera bhi school aur fir ghar ka kaam. Main koi bahana nahi bana rahi...sach kahu toh Deepika ko padha kar mujhe bhi accha lagega...itni pyaari jo hai woh."

"Hm, aap uski chinta mat karo...aapke school ke baad...sham ko 4 se 5 ka time rakh lete hai aur iss baarein mein...main tumhare mummy, papa se bhi baat kar leta hu...app number de do, fir jaisa apke parents kahe."
Nanu said and looked at her expectantly.

Naina gets a little sad when Nanu mentioned about her parents.
"Kaise batau ki mummy toh bachpan se nahi hai...aur papa bhi."

She cleared her throat and said,
"Um...woh main Tau ji aur Tai ji ke sath rehti hu...aap unn se baat kar le...main ghar ka number de deti hu."

She wrote down her landline number and nervously continued,
"Woh mummy nahi hai...papa aur bhai...woh-"

Nanu stood up from his chair and came near Naina. He patted her head softly and said,
"Beta pata hai bhagwan apne pass kinko bulata hai...jo dil se saaf ho...jinke mann mein kisi ke liye bhi nafrat na ho...jo jaha bhi jaye sab taraf pyaar hi pyaar bikherde...jaise aapki mummy aur hamari patni...Sameer ki Nani.
Hum dono ko toh khush hona chahiye."

She looked at him in confusion.

Nanu continued,
"Arre bhai...ab tumhari koi bhi wish hogi toh woh sabse pehle puri hogi, kyunki apki mummy bhagwan ji ke pass hi hai...toh woh unko keh dengi... ki yeh wish bohat special hai isse jaldi se pura karo...kyunki yeh wish meri pyaari beti Naina ki jo hai...beta sach mnn se maango kuch bhi...dekhna aapki mummy aur bhagwan ji dono aapki help karenge...woh wish ko pura karne mein."

Naina smiled at him and nodded.

"Aise hi hasti raha karo, beta."

Flashback ends.

Naina smiles widely and thought.
"Sameer, Nanu, Deepika, Rahul... Sameer ki family mein sab log kitne acche hai.
Baat toh sahi kahi, Nanu ne...dekho toh maine bhagwan ji se... Sameer ko roz dekhna aur baat karna, taaki hum dono dheere-dheere pass aa sake...aisi wish maangi thi...aur abb woh mujhe puri hote hue dikh rahi hai."

She again lie down on her bed.

"Sameer ke ghar toh ab roz ja sakti hu...usse roz dekh sakti hu.Hayee...abhi bhi sab kuch sapne jaise lag raha hai...ek minute, kahi sapna hi toh nahi."

She pinched herself.

"Ouch...nahi sapna nahi hai...sab sach hai.
Sameer ki baat aate hi main sab dard bhul jaati hu...dekho abhi kitna rona aa raha tha...Tai ji ka aise hath uthana aur Tau ji ka daantna...magar jaise hi yaad aaya ki ab se main roz Sameer se mil sakti hu... main kitni khush hu."

Suddenly,Naina furrowed her eyebrows.

"Arre, Naina...itni khush tab ho na jab Tai ji, Tau ji ki permission mil jaye...unn hine mna kar diya toh aur papa unn se bhi toh baat karni hogi... bhagwan ji itni help kari hai toh thodi aur kar dijiye...papa ka toh theek hai... magar...Tai ji aur Tau ji ki haa dilwa do...woh maan gaye toh papa bhi maan hi jayenge."

She prayed to God and closes her eyes.
