Preeti came back in hall happily wiping her tears and saw that Anand was shouting on them, "mein maan hi nahin skata ki aap sabko yeh sab nahin pata tha... aap log jaan bujh kar Naina ki zindagi barbaad karne chale the... agar aisa nahin tha toh kyun mera intzaar nahin kiya aapne, kyun Bela ko mujhse baat nahin karne diya... bataiye... aaj mujhe sharam aa rahi hai ki aap log mere ghar ke bade ho... badappan toh dur aap log toh insaniyat bhi bhool gaye ho paiso ke lalach mein.. koi free mein dega toh kya zeher kha lenge aap log"...

Anand came to Naina and hold her to stand up, she was crying badly, looking so pale and feels dizzy, she tried to say but her words fumbled,"cha... Chachaji.. mein... mujhe bhagwan ne aapki beti.... beti kyun.. nahin banaya...." he hugged her tightly and cried, "mujhe maaf karde beta, mujhe aane mein der ho gayi thodi.. tu toh meri hi beti hai... aaj ke baad kisi ki himmat nahin hogi tujhe takleef dene ki.... Mein hun tere saath...."

He rubbed her back to calm her but her hand slipped from his shoulders down and in a fraction of second she slipped on the floor, fluid was coming out from her mouth... he shocked and screamed loudly, "Naina" Anand got scared and patted on her face, "Naina ... aankh khol beta... Naina"...

Preeti run and gets some water to sprinkled on her face but of no use... she didn't opened her eyes and fall on Anand's arms.... all standing there were stunned seeing this, getting scared, "O Bai ... ek aur naatak... ab isse kuchh ho gaya toh naam toh hamara hi badnaam hoga poori baradari mein... huh... ab yeh musibat aur jhelo"... Taiji murmured slowly to Tauji...

Anand without wasting a second, lift her in his arms and rush outside with Preeti and Bela... he went downstairs, open the car and make her laid down in back seat with Bela and drive to hospital hurriedly....

Doctor immediately admitted her and asked all to wait outside the room... Anand asked Preeti to inform Sameer immediately... she went to reception and dialed his number, the moment boys stepped inside the room, bell rings .... picked up excitedly by Sameer expecting Naina's call....

Sameer happily, "Hello Naina, mein tumhare phone ka hi wait kar raha tha... hello... Naina... kuchh bolo na... kaun hai..."

Preeti controlling her sobs, "Sameer, Sameer ... mein Preeti... voh.. voh.. tum jaldi se City hospital aa jao... Naina.. usse kuchh ho gaya hai... voh"

Sameer shouted, "Preeti... kya bol rahi ho... kya hua hai Naina ko... tum ro mat mein abhi aaya"... he put the phone down and rushed out with Rohan and Mundit, driving on a lightning speed, they reached the Hospital and went to Anand, Bela and Preeti, they were standing outside the ward and crying...

Sameer worriedly, "kya hua Chachaji... Naina kahaan hai, kaisi hai ab voh"... Anand put his hand on his shoulder, "pata nahin beta.. doctor andar hai... kuch nahin pata kya hua achanak... mujhe laga shayad maine sab sambhal liya par ab darr lagta hai ki kahin maine aane mein der toh nahin kar di" he cried hard hugging him, tears started rolling out from his eyes too... he was shocked and dumbfounded ......

Doctor came out, "Mr Anand, dekhiye usake sar ki chot par do stitches aaye hai par shayad usane kuchh khaaya hai jisse uski body mein koi infection ho gaya hai... aur haan shayad usane do-teen dinon se kuchh khaaya bhi nahin hai, shayad low immunity ki wajah se infection bad gaya aur reaction se poisonous ho gaya tha... abhi behosh hai, par jab tak hosh nahin aata hum kuchh kah nahin sakte... usse saans lene mein bhi bohot problem ho rahi hai, kahin usse kisi cheej se allergy toh nahin hai"..

Sameer replied instantly wiping his tears, "Doctor usse Apple or Oranges se allergy hai... ussi se usey breathing problem hoti hai..." he turned to Preeti, "kahin usse fruits toh nahin diye the khaane ke liye kisine".....

Preeti lowered her eyes, "usane toh do din se kuchh khaaya hi nahin hai, phir yeh fruits kahaan se khaayegi... mujhe nahin pata agar usane khaaya ho toh.... par mein toh har waqt usake saath thi, maine nahin dekha usse khaate huye"...

Bela, "haan aaj voh mehmaano ke liye maine fruits kaate the toh kahin usane vahin se toh nahin khaa liye... par nahin aise kaise ho sakta hai... mein thi vahaan har waqt, usane toh kuchh nahin khaya aur usse toh pata hai apni allergy ke baare mein, voh aisi bewkoofi nahin kar sakti..."

All shocked and waited outside the ward to get her back in senses... Bela & Preeti went to Hospitals mandir and pray for her.. Anand was standing there only keep looking point blankly at the door of her ward-room, tears continuously flowing from his eyes... Sameer was standing next to him when Doctor came and allow only one of them can go and see her at one time, but she is still unconscious..... firstly, Anand went inside to see her.. he came back in few minutes and gesture him to go inside and meet her...

Sameer went inside and looked at her, lying lifelessly in bed, face covered with oxygen mask and few needles on her hand, a bandage on her forehead... Tears dropped from his eyes ... outside Mundit came and asked Anand to come with them, "Chachaji, aap kuchh pee lijiye kam se kam... aapko apni tabiyat ka bhi toh khyal rakhna hai" they forced him to come with them and have something till then Sameer will be here with her... they all went leaving him alone... he pulled a stool and sit next to her bed .... his eyes brimmed with tears in pain seeing her in this condition... he softly touched the side of her forehead where a trail of blood almost dried... his fingers shivered while touching her cheeks which are all red but not due to shyness...

He went numb seeing her all fainted, his heart pounded violently, said very slowly while caressing her hair, "Naina.. please aankhen kholo jaan.... I am sorry, tumhein kitna bharosa tha ki mein sab sambhal lunga par maine der laga di varna tum yeh kadam kabhi nahin uthaati... I am sorry jaan... par tumhein mera intzaar karna chahiye tha... maine vaada kiya tha na.... hamesha meri saari baatein aankh bandh karke maan leti ho, phir aaj kaise tumhara vishwas apne Sameer par se dagmaga gaya... bohot galt kiya tumne aaj, mein bohot bohot naaraz hun tumse.. uthogi na tab pata chalega tumhein mera gussa"

He smiled with tear stained face like a kid, "hamesha mera pyaar dekha hai na iss baar meri daant sunani padegi... par please jaldi uth jaao na... dekho sab kitne pareshaan hai.. kitna pyaar karte hai tumse... please sab ki khaatir uth jaao... Nanu ko pata chalega toh mujhe hi daantenge, tumhein toh voh kuchh kehte hi nahin, bas mere hi kaan pakdenge... ab dekho tum mujhe Nanu se daant mat khilwana.. please jaldi se uth jaao aur ek baar apni pyaari si muskaan dikha do... please Naina... agar sach mein mujhe pyaar karti ho toh please uth jaao na... tumhein pata hai na tumhare bina mein ek pal bhi nahin rah sakta.... aur tum toh kabhi apna vada nahin todti na.... tumne kaha tha ki hamesha mere saath rahogi, mere paas... phir aaj kaise tum mujhe chhod kar jaane ka soch bhi sakti ho... yeh galat hai... mein kahin nahin jaane dunga tumhein apne se dur... agar tum ziddi ho toh mein tumse bhi bada ziddi hun... tumhein aana hi hoga vaapas.... mere liye..." he keeps talking to her, complaining her, scolding her but she didn't respond at all...

Bela and Preeti came back from mandir and asked for her, Anand replied, "abhi hosh nahin aaya... doctor ne kaha hai subah tak intzaar karenge varna...."

Bela hold his arm, "aisa mat kahiye Preeti ke papa... hamari beti bohot bahadur hai, dekhna kaise abhi thodi der mein hi muskurati huyi aankhen kholegi... aaj tak usane kabhi hamari baat nahin taali toh phir aaj kaise... dekhna sab theek ho jaayega....."

Preeti too said, "aur kya... aapko pata hai na mere bina nahin rah paati voh ek minute bhi... aur usse bhi pata hai ki mein usake bina nahin rah sakti, toh phir mujhe chhod kar jaane ka toh voh soch bhi nahin sakti..." Anand hugged Bela and Preeti......

Preeti asked, "Papa par aap kaise aa gaye Bangalore se itni jaldi"... Anand looked at Rohan and he tells the whole story to her...

Flashback starts

After coming back from Naina's house, they all sits down and keep thinking to how to stop all this... Sameer dialed Anand's Bangalore hotel number, "hello Chachaji, mein Sameer bol raha hun"... he tells him everything about alliance fixed by elders, that how Taiji is not allowing anyone to talk to him even... he got shocked listening, "par beta agar mein abhi bhi nikla toh kal tak nahin pahunch paaunga".. Sameer suggest, "Chachaji aap Airport jaiye, mein yahaan se aapki ticket karwa deta hun, aapko vahin counter par mil jayegi... aap taiyar ho jaiye mein aapko abhi dobara phone karta hun".. he hurriedly call his travel agent who always does all bookings for Nanu and he booked the tickets in few minutes... Sameer called back Chachaji and give all details that since there is no direct flight available, firstly he has to come Delhi by early morning flight and in afternoon he can take next flight from Delhi to Ahmadabad... (yaar its 90's na... )

After confirming with Chachaji, he sits back with his friends when Munna says thinking deeply, "yaar mujhe ek baat samajh nahin aa rahi.. na ladke ne Naina ko dekha, na usake pariwaar wale ladke ko jaante hai, na Chacha ji ke aane ka intzaar kar rahe hai... I mean kuchh toh bohot badi gadbad hai.. aise kaise bina dekhe usako Naina itni pasand aa gayi ki do din mein seedhe shaadi kar raha hai..."

Pandit said with a serious face, "haan Sameer, dekh tu bura mat manana, mera matlab yeh nahin hai ki Naina mein koi dosh hai, par hamare samaaj mein agar ladki mein koi chhoti si bhi kami hoti hai toh aasani se toh usse koi normal aur achchha ladka milta nahin hai... iss ladke ki shakal dekh kar toh lag raha hai, achchhe khaase ghar ka hai, phir Naukri bhi achchhi hai, toh iski aisi kya majboori hai ki achaanak yeh Naina se shaadi karne ke liye itna betaab hai, aur voh bhi sabse chhup kar"

Rohan, "haan Sameer, mujhe bhi inki baat theek lag rahi hai... kuchh toh hai jo sabse chhupaya ja raha hai"... Sameer looked at them, "haan shayad tum log theek kah rahe ho, par abhi mujhe Naina ki chinta ho rahi hai... kaise us tak pahunchu.. aaj balcony mein bhi kitni udaas si khadi thi.. kitna ro rahi thi..."

Munna, "yaar mein ek kaam karta hun, Swati se baat karke usse Naina ke ghar bhejta hun, isase Naina ko thoda support milega"... Sameer said, "yaar ek kaam kar tu Swati ko subah subah yahaan bula le, mein usse ek chitthi bhi de dunga Naina ke liye, agar Taiji ne Swati ko andar nahin ghusane diya toh kam se kam koshish karke chitthi toh de degi voh"... they decided and call Swati and Priya to come at Maheshwari house early morning...

Girls came after getting ready for college oblivious to all happenings of last evening... all boys were sitting in the hall only... no one has slept even for a single minute and keep thinking ideas but nothing works except arranging Chachaji's return ... Munna explained everything to girls and asked them to go and meet Naina & Preeti and try to give this letter..

Swati to hide the letter, "yaar koi envelop de do, usmein daal kar de dungi, varna kahin Taiji ne dekh liya toh ek aur musibat aa jayegi"... Priya picked up the envelop lying at table, "yeh le ismein daal le"... Swati pull out all papers inside the envelop and keep it back on table when Priya saw the bio-data of Sharad... she asked curiously, "yeh kaun hai... naam kuchh jaana pehchana sa lag raha hai"... Pandit, "yehi toh voh ladka hai jisse Naina ki shaadi ki baat chal rahi hai"... Priya reads the whole bio-data and said, "yaar shayad mein iss family ko janti hun.... tum log ek minute ruko" she picked up the phone and talk to her father for few minutes and turned back, "arey yaar iss ladke ke papa ke retirement ki wajah se hi toh mere papa ka transfer yahaan hua hai, unhi ki post par toh mere papa yahaan aaye hai... mein toh unse mili bhi thi, aur unke bete ki toh shaadi ho chuki hai.. infact do baar.. uski pehli biwi mar gayi thi toh usane dusri shaadi ki aur usaki do betiyaan bhi hai chhoti chhoti.. Papa toh kai baar unke ghar bhi gaye hai, unhi ne bataya yeh sab"... Sameer shocked and asked Rohan, "are you sure Preeti ne sahi ladke ki photo aur bio-data diya hai tujhe... kahin kuchh galti toh nahin ho gayi".. Rohan, "yaar ab usne toh yehi bataaya tha... mujhe kya pata... par ab toh usse baat bhi nahin ho sakti".... Sameer sit back holding his head, "yaar yeh kya ho raha hai... kuchh samajh nahin aa raha.. hum kisi aur ki jagah iss ladke ke baare mein sari raat sochte rahe... kaise pata karen ki asli lakda kaun hai jo aa raha hai Naina ko dekhne"...

Swati said seeing the bio-data, "par Sameer agar yeh ladka shaadi shuda hai toh iska yeh shaadi wala bio-data kyun bana hua hai, dekh kar lag raha hai, kuchh din pehle hi print hua hai... isko yeh sab banane ki kya jarurat thi aur photo toh dekho... aisi photo toh studio mein jaakar shaadi ke liye hi khinchwate hai aaj kal ladke ladkiyaan"

Pandit, "haan yaar Swati toh sahi kar rahi hai... kuchh mahine pehle meri behen ki shaadi ke liye bhi humne aisi hi photo studio par jaakar photo banwayi thi aur bio-data bhi ladke walon ko dene ke liye..... mujhe bhi yeh sab ajeeb hi lag raha hai... par pata kaise karen"... they all sit together and keep thinking...

Sameer came to Swati and said, "yaar ek idea hai.. try karte hai shayad kaam ban jaaye... Swati tu ya Priya iske bio data par jo number hai us par call karo, Naina ki Taiji ban kar aur puchho ki voh shaam ko kitne baje tak aa jayenge... kuchh bhi bahana bana dena.. agar yeh vahi ladka hai toh pakka tumhein shaam ka time confirm kar dega"... all agreed on this and Swati called at Sharad's residence and talk to his mother and confirmed their arrival at same evening ....

Sameer fisted his palm angrily, "uski himmat kaise hui, shaadi shudaa hokar bhi kisi masoom ladki ke saath shaadi karne ja raha hai... mein usse zinda nahin chhodunga" Rohan hold him back, "yaar baat sirf yeh hi nahin lagti, kuchh aur bhi hai... humein pehle sab pata karna hoga... varna prove kaise karenge yeh sach... aise toh Naina ke gharwale hamari baaton par vishwas karne se rahe...."

After lots of brain storming, Sameer suggest an idea... Priya asked her father to help them as he too liked Naina as his own daughter... Swati and Priya went to meet Sharad's father with Priya's father in a friendly manner at their house, "arey voh aise hi yahaan se gujar raha tha toh bas socha aap se milta chalun.. yeh meri beti hai Priya aur yeh uski saheli Swati... donon ek saath college mein padati hain.. " Priya & Swati went inside the kitchen where Sharad's wife was working alone in context of keeping the used glass back, "arey uncle hum hi rakh aate hain na kitchen mein... aap kyun takleef karenge " luckily Sharad and his mother was not at home, they were out for some shopping.... Priya stands at the door itself to keep a watch, Swati went inside and asked, "aap Sharad ji ki wife ho na... maine kaafi suna hai aapke baare mein ki aap khaana bahut achchha banati ho, poore ghar ka dhyan bhi akele rakhti ho... aapki do betiyaan bhi hai na... school gayi hai kya"... she replied in sad tone, "nahin school kahaan, ladkiyaan hain toh koi unhe jaane hi nahin deta... iss ghar mein sirf aadmiyon ki chalti hai.. aurton ki koi izzat nahin hai.... sirf ghar ki naukrani banaa kar rakhte hai" Swati spoke softly and took her in confidence, "aapko pata hai ki yeh log aapke pati ki dusri shaadi karwa rahe hai" she got shocked and tears flow from her eyes, "haan pata hai kyunki mein iss ghar ko beta nahin de saki isliye.. maine suna hai ki koi gareeb ladki hai jiske gharwale usse chhutkara chahte hai aur in logon ko toh sirf beta chahiye..." Swati and Priya console her and request for help by giving swear of her daughters and their future... "please hamari friend ko bas ab aap hi bacha sakti hai.. please hamari madad kar dijiye, dekhiye aapki bhi do betiyaan hain, kal ko agar unake saath aisa huaa toh aap kya karengi"... she agreed being soft hearted, kind lady who already suffered a lot and gives her marriage documents, photos and daughter's birth certificates to Priya as a proof...

After collecting all proof against Sharad and his family, Sameer went to pick up Chachaji at airport and tell him all reality of Sharad and family... they straight away went to Police station and file a formal complaint against him with all proofs, in which Sameer's friends father help him a lot. Then Chachaji rushed back to home with police leaving Sameer and others downstairs, "beta tumhara jitna dhanyavaad karun kam hai, par apne ghar ke logon se sawaal mein khud hi karunga... aaj mujhe bade chhote ka koi lihaaj nahin hai..mein nahin chahta ki iss waqt voh log tumse mile.... par wada karta hun ki ab kuchh galat nahin hone dunga mein tum donon ke saath... ek baar chuk ho gayi par ab aur nahin... aaj mujhe apni Bhabhi ko diya huaa vachan nibhana hai... apni beti ki khushiyaan bachani hain jiska maine unhone vachan diya tha..."
