Agarwal house was full of hustle bustle as being the big day for Pooja... all were busy in getting prepared for evening

Bela : Pooja, tune apni parlour wali ko bol diya na ki achchee se tera make-up kare..

Pooja : haan Mummy, uska to yeh roj ka kaam hai...

Naina : arey Chachiji, aap chinta mar karo, mein aur Preeti honge na wahaan, agar kuchh gadbad hui to dekh lenge... vaise bhi Pooja didi itani sundar hai ki unhein jyada makeup ki jarurat hi nahin hogi...

Taiji : O Bai, tum kahan chali parlour... bas saara din matakane ko kah do... ek kaam nahin hota tujhse aur make up karwana hai... kuchh bhi karlo shakal to vaise hi rahegi....

Chachiji in firm tone : Bhabhiji, maine hi Naina, Preeti ko kaha hai parlour se taiyar hone ke liye.. unki behen ki shaadi hai, voh jaroor jayengi...

Phulla Bua : Bela tune theek kiya... ab iss umra mein yeh nahin sajengi to kya hum log sajenge... aur Bina tu... teri shakal ka to Parlour wali bhi kuchh nahin kar sakti to tu toh rahne hi de... ab ja kuchh kaam karle moti hoti ja rahi hai din ba din...

Bela and girls giggled hearing all this and Taiji left fuming in anger...

Maheshwari House – Sameer was very restless and sad not being met her from last few days and missing her badly..

Sameer (in his mind) : Yaar ek to pehle Diwali ki chhutti mushkil se khatam hui aur ab yeh shaadi... vaise bhi Shaadi toh sham ko hoti hai phir subah School to aana chahiye tha na... itane din ki padai kaun chhodta hai... vaise toh badi topper hai madam.. sabka dhyan hai bas mera hi nahin hai...

Munna seeing him lost : Yaar Sameer, tujhe hua kya hai... itane dinon se khoya khoya sa hai... na kuchh bolta hai, na baat kar raha hai...

Pandit : Mujhe lagta hai isake upar kisine jaadu tona to nahin kar diya... chal isse bargad wale baba ke paas lekar chalte hai....

Sameer (irritated) : mujhe samajh nahin aata ki itani vaahiyat baate tere dimaag mein aati kahan se hai... (in low tone) : ek to itane dinon se usse dekha nahin aur upar se yeh donon... hey bhagwan kuchh to karo mera...

Nanu entered in room : arey kyun itna shor macha rakha hai...... achchha rahu ketu bhi yahin hai... tabhi kahun baahar tak awaaje kiski aa rahi hai..

Sameer : arey nahin Nanu, hum to bas aise hi masti kar rahe the.. aap bataiye aapka din kaisa raha aaj ka..

Nanu : hmmm voh toh theek hi tha.. par abhi mujhe ek jaruri madad chahiye... abhi munshiji ek client ke saath aane wale hai... ek contract sign karna hai... kya tu bazaar se jaakar iski ek copy banwa layega...

Sameer : kyun nahin, hum abhi iski xerox karwa kar laate hai..... (in his mind: chalo isi bahane thoda mood bhi change ho jayega)...

Nanu : Haan jaldi se aana aur meri car le jaao... Munna and Sameer left for market to get the xerox of documents and Pandit left for his house as have some other work at home...

In evening, girls get ready at Parlor, Swati too joined them...

All gets ready in beautiful attire, Pooja dressed up in red bridal lehenga with all heavy jewelry, Swati in yellow lehenga, Preeti in green lehenga and Naina dressed up in Pink lehenga with silver boarder...

Arjun came to pick up the girls with one of his friend in car from Parlor after they gets ready.... Seeing Naina there he gets annoyed...

Naina Preeti helps Pooja to sit in back seat as her lehenga was very heavy, Preeti sits beside her.....

Arjun starts the car before Naina, and Swati sits inside...

Preeti : arey bhaiya, Naina aur Swati toh baithe hi nahin...

Arjun (irritatingly) : voh log apane aap aa jayegne... mein yahaan Pooja ko lene aaya hun... bheed ko nahin... vaise bhi car mein ab jagah nahin hai...

Preeti angrily : toh theek hai, aap Pooja didi ko le jaayo, mein bhi Naina ke saath aa jaaungi...

Pooja : Arjun hum adjust karke baith jayenge, voh akele kaise aayengi... aur andhera bhi ho raha hai...

Naina : Didi koi baat nahin .. aap jaao, mein aur Swati auto se aa jayenge.. Preeti please tu didi ke saath rahna... unhe jarurat hai hamari.. atleast tu to unke saath rah...

Arjun left car with Preeti and Pooja leaving Naina and Swati in market only...

Swati : Naina yaar kaisa bhai hai tera .... Jara bhi parwaah nahin hai usse teri... apne dost ko nahin bol sakta tha auto se aane ke liye....

Naina : chhod na, chal jaldi se auto dekhte hai... baaraat bhi aane wali hi hogi....

They tried to get rickshaw but didn't get easily...

Sameer and Munna were in photostat shop getting contract copy xerox.. suddenly Munna saw Swati and Naina at the roadside..

Munna : arey Sameer yeh to Swati lag rahi hai... yeh shaam ko aise saj dhaj kar yahaan kahaan ghoom rahi hai...

Sameer look towards the direction Munna said and shocked to see Naina also there... she was looking breathtaking in pink lehanga with minimum jewelry.. he looks at her from tip to toe...

She was looking damn beautiful and little make up was adding the fire to her beauty.. her pink lehanga had silver sequins adoring the fabric... sleeves were short, and bangles filled up wrists. Her hair was looking different today, the waves were ending in soft curles and maang tika made her look like a dream...The delicate chain pendant around her neck made her more graceful...

Munna : chal jara puchh kar aate hai... saying this they moved to girls...

Munna : Swati tu yahaan.. tum donon akele yahaan kya kar rahe ho...

Swati : voh aaj shaadi hai na toh hum bas parlor se ghar hi ja rahe hai.... par rickshaw hi nahin mil raha... baaraat bhi aane wali hogi...

Munna : arey to aise tum yahaan market mein kab tak khade rahoge.... Chalo hum tumhein ghar chhod aate hai...

Munna to Sameer (whispers in pleading tone) : yaar tu bura to nahin maanega agar hum inko ghar tak chhod aaye.. ladkiyaan akele kaise jayengi.....

Sameer casually nodded in yes but dancing from inside... vah bhagwan ji maine to sirf didaar maanga tha aapne to sidhaa car mein hi baitha diya......

Munna : chalo tum donon, hum chhod aate hai...

Naina to Swati (whispers) : Yaar ghar par kisi ne dekh liya toh pooja didi ki jagah hamari vidaai ho jayegi...jaayen inke saath ya nahin... kya karen...

Swati : tu ruk mein kuchh sochti hun... she turned to Munna : Munna, tum na humein ghar ki gali se thoda dur hi chhod dena... ghar tak nahin ja sakte tumhare saath.. tum samajhte ho na...

Munna (smilingly) : theek hai... mein samajh gaya... ab chalo jaldi se... vaise aaj tu bahut sundar lag rahi hai... ek baar toh maine tujhe pehchana hi nahin tha.... Swati laughed on him and blushed at the same time....

Naina was feeling so shy that did not dare even to look up, took dainty steps along with Swati, towards car.. Sameer opened the back door of driving seat and she sits quietly inside... he adjusts the rear-view mirror to see her. His eyes remain fixed on her face through mirror rather than on road. For once she raised her eyes and saw him staring her through the mirror. The glint in his eyes sent shivers down her spine.

Soon in 15 minutes, drive they reach nearby to her house and girls gets down with and left without turning back......

Sameer POV

Yaar sach kehte hai, dil se maangi dua jaroor qubool hoti hai... itane dinon se usse dekha tak nahin tha aur aaj... voh ek dam se mere saamne aa gayi.... Meri toh dhadkan hi ruk gayi thi.. voh sundar hai, bahut sundar hai par aaj makeup mein to bilkul pari lag rahi thi... aaj pehli baar laga ki pink color bhi itna sundar ho sakta hai... ya yun kahun usne pehna toh yeh color aur bhi sundar ho gaya.... har baar usmein ek chhota sa badlaav mujhe uske aur kareeb le jaata hai... aaj laga jaise mere liye hi taiyar hui ho...... aaj pehli baar voh meri gaadi mein baithi hi... gussa aa raha tha Munna par... vaise to hamesha zid karta hai par aaj ek baar bhi gaadi chalane ke liye nahin bola..... kaise Swati ke saath baaton mein, usaki taarif karne mein busy tha...... aur ek mein Bechara,  usse theek se apne saamne baitha kar dekh bhi nahin paya... dekha bhi toh mirror se ..... par koi nahin didaar hua itna hi kaafi tha... .. aaj ek baar phir Nanu ki wajah se mein usse dekh paaya... jaane anjaane Nanu hamesha usse mere paas le aate hai.. You are the Best Nanu.... Love You

Naina POV

Bahut udas thi mein dil se ki Arjun bhaiya aise kaise mujhe raaste par chhod kar ja sakte hai, par kehte hai na jo hota hai achchhe ke liye hi hota hai... achanak uska yun milna... mein to sharam ke maare usse dekh tak nahin saki... kya sochega... kaisi ajeeb ladki hai... aise saj dhaj kar bazaar mein kaun ghumta hai... par shayad voh to kisi aur hi duniya mein gum tha... Munna ne kitni taarif ki Swati ki par usane ek baar bhi kuchh nahin bola... bas ghure ja raha tha... par ek alag si kashish this uski aankhon mein... laga jaise bina kahe uski ankhen sab kah rahi ho... ek alag si chamak thi unmein..... aaj apane hi ghar ka raasta bada chhota laga.. pehli baar usaki gaadi mein baithi thi par koi baat hi nahin hui....par laga jaise aaj hamara Rishta ek kadam aura age bada ho... jab bhi mujhe jarurat hoti hai voh aas paas hi hota hai.. mere saath... mere paas....
