Nanu offered his Pooja Thali and Prasad prepared by her to Panditji for bhog.... Now he understood the meaning of "bhi" and smiled...

Nanu : Panditji aaj mere pote ka janamdin hai to usake naam se pooja karwani hai, aur yeh prasad bhi chada dijiyega......

Panditji came back with Pooja Thali and prasad and apply red tikka on their foreheads and give aarti and prasad...

Sameer : arey wah Naina aaj to tumne mera favorite gajar ka halwa banaya hai prasad mein, aur bana bhi kitna tasty hai... aaj to mein poora halwa akele hi khaunga... mera birthday jo hai" she feels shy seeing towards Nanu, who smiled on seeing Sameer enjoying halwa....

Nanu : Mein parikrama karke aata hua... naina beta aayegi mere saath...

Naina nodded in yes and go with Nanu.. Sameer also followed them surprisingly feeling a deep bonding between Nanu and Naina....

They all came downstairs and stands back in garden...

Nanu : Haan to ab batao, tum log kaise jante ho ek dusre ko aur kabhi bataya bhi nahin...

Sameer : Voh Nanu, mein aur Naina ek hi college mein padte hai, pehle PVKM mein bhi saath hi padte the... par aap isko kaise jaante ho..

Nanu : mein to hamesha se isase mandir mein milta hun... bataaya to tha tujhe Mini ke baare mein, jiska banaya hua prasad hamesha khaata tha...

Naina was silent and distressed during all this time. To avoid further discussions, she said : ab mujhe chalna chahiye, college ke liye der ho jayegi... ghar par bhi sab wait kar rahe honge...

Nanu patted her head and give his blessings. Sameer was restless seeing her silent as he was expecting a surprise reaction from her but now she was behaving very strangely...

Sameer : Nanu, mein bike laya hun... aap chaliye mein Naina ko auto tak chhod kar aata hun.. saying this he run towards her, he reached near her and asked : Kya hua Naina, tum itani pareshaan kyun ho... mein toh tumhein surprise dene aaya tha... tumhein achchha nahin laga kya...

Naina hesitates : Nahin aisi koi baat nahin hai... bas aise hi.. chalo college mein milte hai... bye...

Saying this she holds the side rod for support to get into auto, her hands were shaking nervously, not able to control herself she got imbalanced... Sameer immediately hold her tightly from back to save her...

Sameer asked worriedly : Tum theek ho na Naina.... ruko, mein aise akele tumhein jaane nahin de sakta... mein chalta hun tumhare saath.....

Naina control her turmoil and replied... "nahin, please mein theek hoon... I can manage.. mujhe jaane do" seeing her so adamant, unwillingly he helped her to get inside the auto and allowed her to go alone... he stood there for some time and turned back to his bike whereas Nanu was still standing near his car and seeing towards them only......

Sameer : Yeh Nanu aur Naina itana ajeeb kyun behave kar rahe hai... kya hua jo mein in donon ko jaanta hun... kya koi baat hai jo mujhe nahin pata....

He came near him and asked: Kya hua Nanu, aap gaye nahin... chaliye aap car mein bethiye, mein bhi bike se ghar pahunchta hun...

Saying this they both also left for their home...

Rohan welcomed loudly and wish him by hugging him tightly, the moment he entered with Nanu. In few minutes Munna Pandit also joined them... they all had Sameer's favorite breakfast and had good fun time.. Sameer keep on watching Nanu who was not in his usual jovial mood today...

Nanu asked : achchha ab tum log college jaao, aur haan aaj ka kya plan hai...

Sameer : Kuchh khaas nahin, aap bataao, kya karen...

Rohan : Nanu, kyun na dinner ke liye aaj baahar chalte hai... aaj toh please Ramdhari ke haath ke khaane se bach jayenge...

Nanu after thinking : Dinner to theek hai, kyun na aaj tum apne sab doston ko lunch par ghar bulao... mein saari taiyari karwa kar rakhunga... college se aate waqt sabko saath hi le aana...

Munna : are wah Nanaji, yeh to mast plan hai... aaj toh pura din party hogi... pehle college mein, phir ghar mein aur raat to baahar bhi...

Pandit in a serious tone : Pehle bata dete to mein menu bhi decide kar leta.. ab har party mein dishes to alag alag hi honi chahiye na..

Rohan : Tu na sirf khaane ki hi sochna... chal ab jaldi se party ki bhi planning kar lete hai.. aakhir saare friends aaj ghar aa rahe hai...

Nanu came near to Sameer and said, "Sameer, Mini ko jaroor laana... mujhe milna hai usase"... Sameer shocked and asked, "kya hua Nanu, kuchh khaas baat hai, aap abhi toh mile the usase mandir mein"

Nanu : Nahin aisi koi baat nahin, voh darasal jyada kahin aati jaati nahin toh mein isliye kah raha tha, usse jaroor bulana, bahut pyari bachchi hai, aur shayad teri achchhi dost bhi... achchha ab tum log jaao aur mujhe bata dena kitne baje tak aaoge, apane doston se puchh kar... par jaldi aana mein intzaar karunga tum sab ka.......

Sameer took his blessings and they all left in car and bike both...

Naina reached home and give prasad to all.... Preeti came and asked her to come fast in kitchen as they have to prepare cake now...

Preeti : Kya hua itni chup kyun hai... aaj mandir mein kya bhoot dekh liya tune..

Naina : Bhoot nahin Preeti, Sameer mila tha Mandir mein... achanak aa gaya tha..

Preeti replied casually, " haan tere jaane ke baad usaka phone aaya tha toh maine bata diya tu mandir gayi hai, shayad isiliye tujhse milne aaya hoga, toh ismein kya problem hai"

Naina : problem kuchh nahin bas, darasal maine tujhe bataya tha na, mandir mein jo Nanu mujhe milte hai hamesha, jo hamare school ke trusty bhi the... Sameer unka pota hai...

Preeti : Kya, matlab Sameer, Jai Prakash Maheshwari ka pota Sameer Maheshwari hai... par usne toh humein kabhi bataya nahin iss baare mein...

Naina : Haan vahi toh... (in low voice) kaash naa hi pata chalta... ab sab ulajh saa gaya hai...

Preeti : Vaise isase kya farq padta hai.. voh koi bhi ho, hai to hamara dost na...

Naina thinking, "ab tujhe kaise batau ki problem kya hai" Naina prepared cake, decorate it and they left for college in auto as Chachaji left early due to some urgent meeting in office...

Sameer and others waiting for Naina and Preeti in parking ..

Sameer : aaj kya ho gaya, itna late kaise ho gayi yeh... mandir se toh time se hi nikli thi... kahin raaste mein to kuchh pareshaani ... galti meri hi hai, mujhe usake saath hi jaana chahiye tha, kitni pareshaan thi subah...

Then only auto stops and Preeti came out ... he runs to her and saw Naina also getting down, he forwards his hand to give support, she smiles and hold it. He feels relaxed seeing her smiling, thinking... lagtaa hai mein aise hi pareshaan ho raha tha.. sab theek hai.... paagal

Preeti : Happy Birthday Sameer...subah tumhein wish karti usase pehle hi tumne phone kaat diya...

Sameer : Thanks, voh mein thoda jaldi mein tha isliye...

Preeti winked to him, "pata hai .. pata hai... kahaan ki jaldi thi.. vaise aaj lagta hai darshan ke saath saath prasad bhi mil hi gaya"... Sameer combed his fingers through his hair againand smiled

Naina : chale .. par please pehle canteen mein chale... party karte hai...

Pandit : tune toh mere dil ki baat chhin li... dekh bhookh ke maare mera chehra bhi kitnaa utar gaya hai...

They all laughed on his tricks and move to canteen, leaving Samaina coming slowly ...

Sameer : Vaise ab tum theek ho, mandir mein achaanak kya hua tha, itna ghabraa kyun gayi thi...

Naina nervously hiding her emotions, "nahin nahin aisa toh kuchh nahin..  bas aise hi... she smiled and said, "tum yeh sab chhodo, chale ab canteen mein sab intzaar kar rahe honge birthday boy ka"

Sameer (smilingly) : chaliye madam... mein toh kab se aapka hi wait kar raha tha...

They reached canteen and Sameer surprised to see a cake placed in center of the table with candles..

Sameer : oh wow, yeh cake kaun laya... lagtaa hai aaj ka din mere liye bahut special hone wala hai... subah se meetha hi meetha kha raha hun...

Preeti : Khakar dekhna yeh cake sabse tasty bana hoga... aakhir meri behen ne apne haathon se jo banaya hai isse...

Sameer surprised, give a loving look at her.. He cuts the cake and tried to feed her, but she takes the piece from his hand and feed him first... then they all enjoy cake praising her baking skills...

Sameer sits next to her and whispers : Thank You Naina, pehle Gajar Ka Halwa aur ab yeh Cake... tumne sach mein aaj ka mera din special hi nahin, mithas se bhi bhar diya...Thank You so much....

She picked up a small box from her bag and gifted to him, "Sameer yeh tumhare liye.. I hope tumhein achchha lagega".. he looked at the gift smiling and open the box found a beautiful small Ganpati idol of brass sculpture sitting on lotus flower...

Naina, "yeh tumahre liye good luck hai, inka aashirwaad hamesha tumhare saath rahenga, tumhein hamesha sahi raah dikhayega"...

Sameer smiled, touched the idol from his forehead and keep it in his bag, "Naina isase best gift toh koi aur ho hi nahin sakta tha... yeh mein hamesha apne paas, apne sabse kareeb rakhunga"..
