Early morning Sameer went for jogging to keep himself relaxed and calm to handle the chaos at home. Vivek went to drop Dadi to catch morning flight to Mumbai with Mamaji...

Sameer came back when Vishakha & Mamiji were sitting in hall, he straight away tried to leave for his room avoiding her when she stops him, "ruko Sameer, mujhe tumse baat karni hai.. aise avoid karne se problem solve nahin ho jaati beta"... she hold his hand and make him sit next to her, "dekho beta, aise bina soche samjhe zindagi ke faisle nahin liye jaate, abhi tum chhote ho, tumhein samajh nahin... mein yeh nahin kah rahi ki ladki achchhi nahin, ho sakta hai voh achchhi bhi ho par aise kisi se bhi shaadi kar lena theek nahin hai... abhi tumhari umra hi kya hai... thode dinon ki dosti ko pyaar ka naam nahin diya jaata... tum samajh rahe ho na"...

Mamiji came and sit on his other side, "arey ghumna phirna tak toh theek hai par isase aage nahin... aur haan agar dosti karni bhi hai toh phir barabar walon mein karo na.. mujhe pata laga ki uska baap ek mamuli sa librarian hai... isase achchhi toh voh Sunaina hi hai... tere Mamaji ke dost ki ladki hai aur ghar khandaan bhi kitna bada hai... tere college mein bhi hai voh toh... hum tere dushman nahin hai beta, par soch toh ek baar"..

Sameer smilingly looked back to them and stands to leave from there, when mamiji said, "dekha main kaha tha na ki hum samjhayenge toh maan jaayega... aakhir mera hero jaisa beta hai, mere baat nahin maanega kya..." Vishakha too kissed on his forehead, "mera samajhdaar beta... dekha Bhabhi mein na kahti thi ki yeh kabhi meri baat nahin taalega.." he moved two steps ahead and turned back, "voh Mummy aur Mamiji subah subah mujhe itna sab kuchh samjhane ke liye, aapke pravachan ke liye thanks, par haan mein ek baat bata deta hun jiska aap dhyan rakhna ki meri shaadi ki saari rasmon mein Naina ke liye Pink ya red color ke kapde hi lena, vaise toh us par saare color achchhe lagte hai inti sundar jo hai, par voh hamesha meri pasand hi pehanati hai, aakhir itna pyaar jo karti hai aapke bete se"... saying this he smirks looking at Nanu who was standing behind the ladies and left for his room...

Rohan was also standing at the doorstep and give a disgusting type look to the ladies and left with Sameer to get ready for factory..... Vishakha & Mamiji rooted there with the shocked expressions and soon left for their rooms angrily...

Deepika came running to their room, "bhaiya chalo na saath mein breakfast karte hai" she drags Sameer to dining table where all family members were sitting and silent after morning argument.. Vivek & Mamaji also came back and join them.... Sameer was not willing to eat anything and just playing with the spoon...

Rohan came after five minutes and whisper in Sameer's ear, "Naina ka phone aaya tha.. tujhe law garden bulaaya hai abhi... tu ja mein yahaan sambhal lunga"... Sameer asked, "achaanak sab theek toh hai na.. tune usse kuchh bataya toh nahin na"... Rohan shook his head assuring he has not said anything which can hurt her... Sameer stood from dining table without eating anything...

Vishakha, "kahaan ja rahe ho Sameer, baitho pehle khaana khao".. Sameer replied softly, "nahin mujhe bhukh nahin hai, Nanu mein aapko factory mein milta hun"... saying this he left from their picking up his car keys...

He reached there and saw Naina was waiting for him on their usual place...

Naina smiled widely looking at him, "Good morning Sameer, sorry voh subah tumse baat nahin hui toh maine Rohan ko message de diya"

Sameer sits beside her, "koi baat nahin par hua kya Naina, achanak aise... kuchh urgent baat thi kya"

Naina smiled and bring the tiffin box, "nahin voh kya hai na subah subah maine aloo ke parantha banaye the aur itne dinon se college ki chhutti ki wajah se mil bhi nahin paaye toh socha aaj naashta tumhare saath hi karti hun"... she took a bite and feed him by her own hands, he looked at her and a lone tear drop on his cheeks, she wiped his cheeks and rest her head on his shoulder, "koi baat nahin Sameer agar Mummy ne mana kar diya toh.."

Sameer surprisingly looked at her and nervously said, "arey nahin .. nahin... Naina .. voh aisi toh koi baat nahin.. tumhein kisi ne kuchh kaha kya"..

She smiled and hold his hand, "tum kab se mujhse baatein chhupane lage, ... Sameer jab tak tum mere saath ho mujhe kisi baat se darr nahin lagta aur na hi mein kamjor padungi... yeh himmat toh tumne hi mujhe di hai na, toh khud hi kaise darr gaye... kya socha mujhe pata laga toh sah nahin paaungi... par tum ho na mere saath, toh kis baat ka darr.... bolo" she squeezed his nose and smile...

Sameer, "Sorry Naina, voh kal itna sab ho gaya ki mein bahut pareshaan ho gaya tha.. kuchh samajh nahin aa raha tha.. Nanu ne bhi kaha ki tumse kuchh na kahun, par sachchi tumse kuchh bhi chhupane ka man nahin tha"

She makes him eat some more, "mujhe pata hai tumne kal raat se kuchh nahin khaaya, pehle khaana khao phir baat karenge"... he too feed her by his own hands, "aur tumne bhi toh nahin khaaya hoga... jaanta nahin hun kya tumko... vaise sach kahun jaadu hai tumhare haath ke paranthe mein... saare gam bhula dete hai... aur jab tum apne haath se khilati ho na toh baat hi kya.... full stress reliever.... tumhare haath ka Magical Aloo Paratha......"they both laughed and eat looking at each other silently...

After finishing his favorite breakfast that too when she feed by her own hand, they sits back when Sameer asked, "Naina tumhein kaise pata chala ki Mummy ne, I mean kisi ne kuchh kaha toh nahin kal tumhein... please bataao, mujhe janana hai"... she lowered her eyes, "Sameer, aunty ne jab pehli baar mujhe kal dekha, unki najaron mein unka inkaar usi waqt dikh gaya tha mujhe.... par sab the vahaan shayad iss liye shayad voh chup rahi, unhone kuchh nahin kaha... usake baad jab tumne unse milwaya, unhone mujhse ek shabd bhi nahin bola, na koi baat ki.. itna kaafi tha mere liye samajhane ko ki mein unki pasand nahin ban paayi"...

He cupped her face in his palm, "Naina tumhein pata tha phir bhi tumne mujhse kyun nahin kuchh kaha... hum saare waqt kal saath hi the, kyun akele yeh sab sahti ho tum, bata nahin sakti thi mujhe... tum sahi kehti ho mein hi buddhu hun jo nahin dekh paaya yeh sab...."... she smiled back, "Sameer kal ghar par function chal raha tha... sab kitna khush the, aise mein kuchh bhi kehti to sabka mood kharaab ho jaata, aur phir Poonam Bhabhi ka socho na, voh kitni achchhi hai, mein unka dil nahin dukhana chahti thi function spoil karke"... he laughed on her, "tum kabhi nahin badlogi na... ek hi din mein Poonam Bhabhi se itna pyaar ho gaya... voh bhi kal se kai baar tumhare baare mein puchh chuki hai, aur Deepika uska toh puchho mat.. bas chalta toh kar tumhein ghar bhi vaapas nahin jaate deti, vaise iss baat mein bilkul mujh par gayi hai meri behen...."

Naina turned a bit serious, "Sameer ek baat kahun... maanoge... please tum aunty se naraaj mat hona kisi bhi baat ke liye.... dekho voh tumhari Maa hai, unke bhi kuchh sapne hai, armaan hai tumko lekar... aise mein mujhe dekh kar unka reaction shayad normal tha"...

Sameer bit angrily, "Kya matlab tumhara ki tumhein dekh kar... Naina please, tum janti ho tum mere liye kyaa ho, kitna pyaar karta hun tumse"... she looked at him lovingly and smiled, "haan mujhe pata hai... dekho tum mujhe jaante ho, samajhte ho, hum kitna waqt ek saath bitate hai... ek dusre ki achchhi, buri, har baat jaante hai, par aunty mujhse kal pehli baar hi mili thi, tumhein pata hai har Maa apane bete ke liye sabse perfect dulhan laana chahti hai aur tumhare mere kehne se sach badal nahin jayega... tumhein unhe kuchh samay dena chahiye... dheere dheere karke unhein iss rishte ke liye manana chahiye...agar tum unse ladoge ya zid karoge toh na voh tumhein samajhengi aur na hi tum unhein apni baat samjha paaoge... aise toh rishton mein dooriyaan aa jayegi.. hum ek naya Rishta bandhna chahte hai par kya yeh sahi hoga ki hum purane rishton ko daanv par laga de..."

Sameer asked worriedly, "Naina par agar voh phir bhi nahin maani toh... tum wada karo mera saath kabhi nahin chhodogi... kabhi bhi kisi bhi haalat mein mujhse dur jaane ki baat sochogi bhi nahin" she poked on his forehead & laughed, "bilkul buddhu ho tum... mein tumse rishton ko jodne ki baat kar rahi hun, naa ki apne rishte ko todne ki... Sameer tum meri zindagi ho, aur koi apni zindagi se dur kaise ho sakta hai, aisa toh mein soch bhi nahin sakti... mein sirf yeh kehna chahti hun ki tum aunty ko force mat karo abhi, bas unhe manane ki, samjhaane ki koshish karo.. dheere dheere, shayd voh samajh jaaye... aakhir voh ek Maa hai, apne bete ki Khushi ke liye toh sochegi hi na.... aur vaise abhi toh hamara college bhi hai, toh itna waqt hai hamare paas ki hum sab kuchh dheere dheere sambhalne ki koshish kar sakte hai... aur hum saath hai toh phir darna kaisa.. mein bas chahti hun ki tum apne dil mein koi kadwahat mat rakho aunty ji ke liye... vaise bhi jahaan pyaar ki mithaas ho vahaan kadwahat ka kya kaam... theek hai na.... phir socho Sameer voh itane saal baad tumhare saath Diwali manane aayi hai toh tum bhi koshish karo ki ghar ka mauhal kharaab na ho... ghar mein sabka dhyaan rakho, aakhir bade bete jo ho"...

Sameer smiled, "Nanu naa sach kehte hai tumhare baare mein ki tum se jyada rishton ki gehrai koi nahin samajh sakta... sach kahun mein kal se bohot pareshaan tha, ek darr sa baith gaya tha man mein ki kaise sab theek karunga, par ab tumse baat karke ek nayi himmat mili hai... jab tak tum mere saath ho hum badi se badi mushkil bhi saath milkar sambhaal sakte hai..."

Naina laughed, "toh isi baat par ek ek ice-cream ho jaaye... haan par bina masti ke" Sameer laughed, "madam masti aap shuru karti ho har baar... achchha ruko mein abhi laya" he went to take ice-cream from nearby stall... she kept looking at him and thinking, "Sameer ko toh samjha diya par apne dil se iss darr ko kaise nikaalu... kehna aasaan hai par karna bohot mushkil... mein Sameer ke bina ek pal bhi nahin rah sakti, par kya aunty ko manana aasaan hoga... par mein Sameer ko uski mummy se dur bhi nahin hote dekh sakti, mujhe pata hai voh unhein kitna miss karta hai, unki ek naa ne usse kitna dard diya hai.... bhagwan ji please hamari madad kijiye" she silently prayed for them.. he came back and they enjoyed their lovey-dovey Ice-cream moment for some time..

Sameer said holding her hand, "Naina aaj factory jaane ka bilkul man nahin kar raha... tum ruk sakti ho thodi der mere saath, agar koi dikkat na ho"... Naina agreed saying, "koi baat nahin ... vaise bhi mujhe Swati ke ghar hi jaana hai toh thodi der mein chali jaaungi.. chalo ek kaam karte hai, aaj sabke liye Diwali ki shopping karte hai... sab khush ho jayenge"... they decided to go for Diwali shopping and buy some gifts for all..

They went to market and she help him to buy gifts from his side for all family members... she insisted him to buy gift for Mr Somani too which he agreed reluctantly... Naina too buy gifts for Deepika, Rohan and Nanu and give it to him, "yeh meri taraf se Deepika, Rohan aur Nanu ko de dena.. sorry par maine kisi aur ke liye nahin liya... shayad unhein pasand na aaye..." Sameer asked, "voh toh theek hai par mere liye.. matlab jaise Deepika tumhein mil kar mujhe bhool gayi vaise hi tum bhi usase milkar mujhe bhool gayi, pehle Nanu aur Rohan kam the... ab toh meri kahin ginti hi nahin rah gayi... very bad yaar..." he turned back making grumpy face, she laughed at his cute annoying face and turned him back facing her, "aisa kaise ho sakta hai... yeh lo tumhara gift... dekho aur bataao kaisa laga"... he excitedly unwrap the gift and found a silk blue colored kurta simply embroider in its neck and center pocket... his imagination gone erratic with her dressing in matching blue saree, holding her so close to his heart, it burns slowly emitting color blazes and sparks burning him with the flame arousing inside him....

The click of her finger brought him to the reality that he was standing in the middle of a shop... he smiled and looked at her... she move ahead smiling when a gentle pull on her wrist stopped her in midway & she looked behind at his fingers curled around his wrist pulling her close to him, "apna gift nahin logi"... he hold her hand and placed a gift box on her palm, "khol ke dekho".... She opened it and found an elegant chiffon blue color saree with a sleek border studded with stones... " Sameer... it's so beautiful, yeh tumne kab kharidi" he smiled seeing shine in her eyes, "jab tum mujhse chhupa kar, akele mein yeh kurta khareed rahi thi" he wink to her and they move out from the shop.....

Later he dropped her at Swati's house and left for factory to join Nanu and Rohan..

In evening they came back and he gave gifts to all with Rohan saying, "is baar sab yahaan hai toh yeh gifts aap sabke liye hum donon ki taraf se"... all gets amazed seeing him all smiling and talking normal... he gestures Rohan to give gift to Mr Somani also .... In night he give gifts given by Naina to Deepika, Rohan and Nanu... "yeh Naina ne aapke liye bheja hai" Deepika gets excited seeing a Barbie Doll set with accessories, "Bhaiya mujhe Bhabhi se milkar thanks bolna hai... please unhein bulao na... voh hamare saath kyun nahin rahti"

Rohan laughed and replied, "tum chinta mat karo, bohot jaldi Naina Bhabhi hamare saath hi rahengi, par abhi kisi se mat kehna... samjhi"... trio had enjoyed chatting and playing with each other... In night Sameer called Naina, but Deepika took the phone and keep chatting with her so long, saying thanks for her gift, a lot more... he keeps waiting for this chance to come making grumpy face, getting lots of teasing from Rohan.. "isse kehte hai beta haath aya munh ko na laga.." which turned a cute pillow fight between them...
