First day of next session in School....

Pandit also got shift in their section for this academic year. Now all five are in same section but Sameer's absence is killing to Naina & his two besties but none can share their pains with each other, especially Naina...

Naina excitedly getting ready for the day, "Preeti tujhe pata hai aaj kya hai... aaj ka din mere liye bahut special hai kyunki aaj ke din meri zindagi mein bohot bada badlaav hua tha, jisne meri zindagi mein khushiyon ke maayne hi badal diye"

Preeti asked surprisingly, "kyun aaj aisa kya hai... I mean kisi ka birthday toh nahin bhul gayi mein ya aaj kisi party mein jaana hai" she asked lost in thinking what was so special in this day

Naina replied with a cute smile on her face, "nahin yaar, aaj kisi ka birthday nahin... actually aaj  mujhe poora ek saal ho gaya Sameer se mile huye... pichhle saal hum aaj ke din hi pehli baar mile the... dekh kaise dekhte dekhte ek saal beet bhi gaya...maana  uss din hamare beech koi baat nahin huyi thi lekin aaj mein khud aage se bhdhkar usase baat karungi... no more dur dur se dekhna..." she said feeling shy that how confidently she had decided to take first step in their relation...

(In her mind)

Dekhe hai itane khwab ki ab apane ru-ba-ru,

Unko bhi dekhoon toh samjhati hoon khwab hai..

Preeti giving a pity look to her thought, "this is not done... Naina toh Sameer ki yaadon mein khoti hi ja rahi hai aur Sameer ko pata bhi nahin... isase pehle ki isey jyada chot pahunche, ab lagata hai mujhe hi kuchh karna padega... voh to school aaya nahin... na hi usaki koi khabar hai... mein Naina ko tootate nahin dekh sakti..." she remains silent in front of her as doesn't want to break her dreams...

Reaching school, she went to Munna to find Sameer but seeing him still missing on first day of school her heart sank... giving some random excuse she pulled Munna in corner and asked straightly, "Munna voh tumhara dost Sameer kahaan hai.. aaj toh naya session bhi shuru ho gaya lekin voh aaya hi nahin... na farewell wale din aaya aur na hi kal result ke liye aaya tha... theek toh hain na voh...."

Munna replied in sad voice hiding his own pain, "Preeti, voh Sameer toh Delhi shift ho gaya hai apne parents ke paas aur ab aage ki padaai vahin se karega... uski family vahin rehti hai..." saying this he left the room to avoid further discussion as he was also missing him too much...

Preeti got shocked knowing the truth... even if she was slightly disappointed for Sameer's sudden disappearance now she was more worried for Naina who was counting every moment to meet her first love...

Preeti took Naina alongwith her, "Naina, chal ghar chalte hai vaapas, meri tabiyat kuchh theek nahin lag rahi..." giving a fake excuse she forced her to go back home where she can calmly tell her the truth...

Naina agreed, "haan chal par tujhe kya hua hai... abhi toh theek this thodi der pehle.. session ke pehle din hi padai se bhaag rahi hai" she giggled oblivious of her dull face...

Preeti replied avoiding her gaze, "kuchh nahin  thoda sar mein dard hai... tu bas chal mere saath, maine Shanti Madam se permission le li hai ..." Naina agreed sensing seriousness in her voice... throughout the way Preeti remain silent as unable to figure out how to tell her the truth shattering her dreams...

After reaching home, she brings her in their room straight and pulled her in a tight crying silently...

Naina seeing her behaving so weirdly asked worriedly, "kya hua Preeti, tu ro kyun rahi hai... mujhe darr lag raha hai, bata naa... kisine kuchh kaha tujhse... kahin teri tabiyat jyaada toh nahin kharaab... sorry maine tera majaak udaaya..." she felt guilty to laugh on her

Preeti replied straightly, "Naina, tu please bhool ja Sameer ko... tum donon kabhi saath nahin ho paaoge... voh agar tujhse pyar karta to tujhe yun chhod ke nahain jaata... kam se kam ek baar tujhse baat toh karta jaane se pehle..."

Naina asked shockingly, "chhod ke nahin jaata ka kya matlab.. mein kuchh samjhi nahin... aur haan Sameer aisa nahin hai... voh kuchh kehta nahin iska matlab yeh nahin ki mein uski khamoshi nahin samajhti...  voh kuchh bhi kar sakta hai lekin kisi ka dil nahin dukha sakta... tu kuchh bhi mat bol uske baare mein..." she still defends him without even knowing the whole truth as never wanted to believe that Sameer can ditch him...

Preeti shouts angrily "Naina hosh mein aa...  voh chala gaya hai apni family ke paas... Delhi... hamesha hamesha ke liye... ab shayad voh kabhi nahin aayega..." she jerker her hard to accept the truth

Naina still not ready to believe and shook her head, "kya Preeti, tu kuch bhi bakwaas mat kar... mein nahin maanti teri baat... majaak ki bhi limit hoti hai... maine tujhe der se bataya isiliye tu mujhe tadpa kar maje lena chahti hai na... isiliye mein kisi ko nahin bata rahi thi..." she keeps blabbering not ready to believe on harsh reality

Preeti holds her from shoulder and jerked her, "Naina hosh mein aa.. kya bole ja rahi hai... Sach mein Sameer Delhi chala gaya hai... Munna ne khud mujhe bataya.. usaka vahaan ke school mein admission bhi ho gaya hai"

Naina got complete lost with this news and shattered completely... opposite to Preeti's expectation, Naina didn't utter a single word, remained silent... not even shed a single tear...

Then only, Chachiji entered in room carrying their cloth to keep in almirah, "arey tum donon kan vaapas aayi... abhi toh school ki chhutti bhi nahin huyi toh jaldi kyun aa gayi.. kya hua, tabiyat toh theek hai na...."

Preeti said making excuse, "haan mummy voh darasal aaj pehle din jyada classes nahin thi aur mere sar mein dard bhi tha toh hum jaldi aa gaye..."

Bela laughed replied sarcastically, "beta khaali dimaag hai dard toh karega hi na..."

She hit slightly on her head, "naatakbaaj... chalo ab jaldi aa jao baahar kapde badal kar aur meri madad kar do ghar ke kaam mein..." saying this she left the room

To avoid Bela got suspicious on them, they both got changed and came out ....... Preeti was keenly looking at Naina but there was no reaction from her side... she was so calm and quiet like nothing has happened, surprising her more...

In Delhi – at hospital, Sameer was taking care of Nanu day and night... even after whole hospital was there to handle but he himself take all responsibilities on himself...

Sameer was giving medicine to Nanu when Vivek enters... Vivek handed an envelope to Sameer said, "Sameer yeh lo tumhara admission form hai... isse bhar do mein aaj hi submit karwa dunga"

Sameer silently took it in his hands smilingly loking at Nanu, "ji theek hai... aap baithiye, mein abhi bhar deta hun..."

He sits on the couch and starts filling the form... in last school column the moment he fills the name of PVKM his first memory with Naina flashes in his mind, leaving a lone tear in his eyes...

Sameer POV

Aaj humein mile ek saal beet gaya... kitne armaan the ki is din ko Naina ke saath celebrate karunga.. par hamesha ki tarah yeh sapna bhi adhura rah gaya... par kya Naina ko yeh din yaad hoga.. kya voh bhi mujhe miss kar rahi hogi... school se judi har baat mujhe Naina ki hi yaad dilati hai... bhale hi aaj voh mere saath nahin hai.. yeh meri kismat hai jis par mera koi bas nahin hai, par apne dil par toh mera bas hai na.. jahaan hamesha usaki yaad rahegi, ek meetha ehsaas ban kar ... hum dobara mile ya na mile mera pyaar kabhi kam nahin hoga usake liye... aaj hamari first anniversary par mein sirf yahi dua maangta hun ki bhagwan ji hamesha khush rakhna meri Naina ko... aaj mein uske saath nahin lekin mera pyaar hamesha uske saath rahega...

Gazab KI Deewangi He Tumhari Mohabbat Mein,

Tum Hamare Nahin Phir Bhi Hum Tumhare Ho Gaye!!

Naina POV

Aaj jahaan mein khush thi ki humein mile ek saal ho gaya vahin aaj Preeti ne mujhe Delhi ki baat bata kar itna bada jhatka de diya... voh chala gaya... meri saari ummid, saare sapne, saari khushiyan apane saath lekar chala gaya... par shayad usse to yeh ehsaas bhi nahin hai.. voh to mujhe bhool bhi jayega kuchh dinon mein.. ya shayad mujh mein yaad rakhne jaisa kuchh tha hi nahin... ek middle class ki simple si ladki ko koi yaad bhi kyun karega.. par voh mera pehla pyar, mera pehla ehsaas hai.. mein usse kaise bhool sakti hun... aur phir usase pyar karne se pehle maine usase zindagi bhar mere saath rahane ka vaada toh nahin liya tha, toh mein usse kaise dosh de sakti hoon.. toh yeh mera pyar hai ... aur mein usase itna pyar karti hun ki mera akele ka pyar meri poori zindagi ke liya kaafi hoga... voh jahaan bhi rahe bhagwan ji hamesha khush rakhna mere Sameer ko...

आपकी आहट दिल को बेकरार करती है,

नज़र तलाश आपको बार-बार करती है,
गिला नहीं जो हम हैं इतने दूर आपसे,
हमारी तो जुदाई भी आपसे प्यार करती है।
