They all gather back in garden after having breakfast to leave the place.. Naina said standing close to him, "Sameer mujhe yeh Mount abu ki trip zindagi bhar yaad rahegi... meri zindagi ki sabse khubsurat yaad ki tarah"... he smiled back and said, "mujhe bhi... aakhir mujhe meri zindagi ki asli Khushi jo mili hai yahaan... itne saalon ka intzaar poora huya hai... hum pakka shaadi ke baad yahaan dobara aayegne, phir se nayi yaadein banane" she simply blushes and rest her head on his side arm, holding his hand in hers...

They all boarded bus and starts their journey back to home. All were very tired and sleepy as none of them slept last night but Sameer was still awaked.. looking to the most beautiful girls sleeping in his arms, all smiling, peacefully... he murmured slowly... I Love you Naina..

As if her heart heard him, she opened her eyes and looked at him. Seeing him awake she gestured him to sleep. Imagining himself awakening each day seeing this lovely face, he smiled at this thought and drifted into sleep too.

Bus stopped with a jerk to have lunch at the same dhaaba where they stopped last time while going to Mount Abu. JBR announced and strictly warned all to get down for food and ensure no one should go far alone. Sameer looked at Naina, who was too much tensed to see outside, haunting the memories of her kidnap... he squeezed her hand softly to assure he is there with her all the time, "mein hun tumhare saath, kuchh nahin hoga".. she still doesn't want to go as much concerned for his safety not for her...

Naina, "Sameer hum bus mein hi kuchh mangwa lete hai na... please baahar nahin jaana" Sameer put a strand behind her ear and smiled, "aise darne ki koi jarurat nahin hai Naina, hum sab hai na... aise baithe baithe bhi thak jaaogi, baahar fresh air mein chalo, you will feel better"... she agreed halfheartedly and moved out with him to have some food, but didn't leave his hand even for a single second being worried for his safety, whereas he too didn't leave her seeing her tensed and scared ... though all were enjoying their meal with fun and teasing but boys were more concerned and attentive for girls safety and keeping an eye on all passers bye ...

After lunch and get freshen up, all boarded the bus immediately and settled back on their seats to start the journey again. Soon bus started, Naina opened the window slightly and cold wind gushed in. She inhaled deeply, taking in the fresh and crisp air and smiled.

Sameer slightly leaned towards her to close the window to avoid her catching cold, the same moment she turned her face to speak, unaware that he leaned in... their faces were just an inch far... she feels his intense gaze on her face and both sat stunned looking at each other so closely.. their heart hammering, breath struck somewhere at back of throat... he slowly raised his hand and touched her soft cheeks with his finger... "Naina tum bahut sundar ho... I Love You" he said in husky voice... her eyes going wide, sitting with a shocked expression, she turned scarlet... she could not believe what he had just done.. gone numb for few moments... they sat lost in each other's eyes till a bump on the road jerked them out from their world...

She lowered her eyes not able to look at him and start looking outside ... his eyes brightened, and a small mischievous smile played on his lips... they sat quietly for some time, he hold her hand and called softly, "Naina"... she squeezed her eyes shut feeling so shy... he called her again, "Naina please idhar dekho na...I am sorry agar.." she opened her eyes and turned to look him lovingly, "aisa kuchh nahin hai... tum please sorry mat bolo" saying this she keep her head on his shoulder and he too keep his head on her head... enjoying each other presence in their life... a beautiful beginning..

By evening, they reached college back and gets down from bus..... Nanu was standing there waiting for them...

Rohan, "Sameer dekh Nanu aaye hai humein lene"... they all got surprised to see him there...

Sameer & Rohan run and hugged him tightly, "bahut miss kiya maine tum donon ko.. poora ghar suna suna sa lag raha tha tumhare bina... ab nahin raha jaata apne bachchon ke bina ek din bhi.." Nanu said with misty eyes... all others too came near him and smiled seeing their bonding....

Sameer hold her hand and pull forward, "Nanu, aapne kaha tha na ki ek saath hi aashirwaad doge, aaj aap chaho toh de sakte ho..." they both bent together to touch his feet, Nanu understood his meaning and pulled them together in his embrace, "aaj mein bahut khush hun... mera sapna poora hone wala hai... jeete raho donon, hamesha khush raho ek dusre ke saath....." and kissed their forehead one by one...

Rohan too pulled Preeti forward, shocking her and said, "Nanu, ek aur aashirwaad bhi dena hai" saying this he too touched his feet alongwith Preeti. Nanu got surprised but hugged them too and blessed saying, "aaj toh bhagwan ko double thank you bolna padega... maine toh ek Khushi maangi thi bhagwan ne do do de di... chalo achchha hai mere ghar mein bhi ab hansi gujengi varna toh yeh bandar hi shor karte rehte the... "he hugged Naina and Preeti together and blessed them, leaving both brothers making grumpy face, "yeh sahih ai Nanu, inke chakkar mein hamara hi patta saaf kar diya aapne..."

Mundit chuckled too, "Nanaji agar aapka mood ho toh ek ek aashirwaad yahaan bhi de do"... saying this they too touched his feet with their partners. Nanu blessed them too and all had a tight group hug..

Nanu laughing, "maine tum logon ko ghumane bheja tha ki ladkiyaan patane... aur itne nalayaak ho ki pehle se toh kuchh bataya bhi nahin... itna bada surprise dene wale the toh mein tumhare swagat ki taiyari thodi dhoom dhaam se karta band baaje ke saath.... par chalo achchha hai mere in sab gadho ko inti pyari Jeevan saathi mil gayi hai.... bhagwan tum sabko khush rakhe..."

Boys went to keep the luggage in car, Nanu, "Naina beta tumhein lene koi nahin aaya toh chalo mein chhod aata hun"... Naina looking at other side of the road and replied happily, "nahin Nanu... voh dekhiye Chachaji aa gaye hai"... then only Anand stops his car and came down, "sorry beta thodi der ho gayi... kaise ho tum log"... Preeti Naina hugged him back, "bahut achchhe... aapko bahut miss kiya"...

Naina introduce Anand with Nanu and they both greet each other, Anand, "Ji bahut suna hai aapke baare mein.. aaj mulakat bhi ho gayi... vaise aapke donon naati se mila hum mein kai baar college mein... bahut samajhdaar hai donon"... saying this he patted on Sameer's back in turn Sameer bent and touch his feet for blessings first time. After formal discussion, they all start leaving when Nanu called Naina, "beta jara ek minute sun"... she went near him and they discussed something inaudible to others... she said lastly, "jee Nanu, jaisa aap kahe..." then they all left for home, all boys with Nanu and girls with Anand...

At home, Bela welcomed both the girls and hugged them. She informed that Taiji is back from her hometown early and bit upset with them that why they allowed for this trip without consulting them...

Preeti, "arey mummy aap fiqr mat karo... hum na taiji ke liye bhi vahaan se gift laaye hai... dekh kar unka munh apne aap hi band ho jayega" they all laughed together.....

Anand came with their luggage and placed in their rooms, "chalo ab tum log bhi thoda aaraam kar lo, thak gayi hogi na".. they both went to their room and came back for dinner.. after joyful time spent together Preeti went to sleep early & Bela went for cleanup Kitchen...

Anand came to Naina and caressed her head, "tu khush hai na... koi dikkat toh nahin hui trip par" she smiled and assured him that they really enjoyed the trip and had so much of fun and masti with their friends... but somehow she felt guilty for hiding her relation from him... purposely she hid the jungle kidnapping accident too as doesn't want to make him worried...

Naina nervously, "voh.. voh Chachaji, mujhe na aapse.. matlab mujhe kuchh kehna... nahin nahin... voh batana tha"... he smiled back seeing her nervousness and asked her to come outside in balcony ..

Nanu, Sameer and Rohan were at dining table teasing each other..

Nanu: Sameer ka toh theek hai par tujhe achanak se Preeti se kaise pyar ho gaya, tune kabhi bataya nahin, vaise ladki badi pyaari hai...

Sameer, "Nanu isse itna sharif mat samjho, iska pyaar to kai mahine se chal raha hai, bas batane mein darr raha tha aapko"

Nanu thinking, "bachchon ka khush chehra dekh kar mein toh bhool hi gaya ki mujhe haq nahin hai Rohan ki zindagi ka itna bada faisla lene ka... pata nahin Vivek aur Vishakha kya bolenge... mein nahin chahta ki inki khushiyaan kabhi bhi kam ho... mein poori koshish karunga unhein manane ki"...

Nanu, "arey haan mein toh batana hi bhool gaya...kal tumhari chhutti hai par tum log jaldi uth jaana humein kahin jaanahai" he left for his room to sleepleaving both of them confused.
