Naina keep asking where is he taking her but every time he remained quite making her annoyed... she keep looking outside murmuring, "jab dekho bas Bossgiri dikhani hoti hai..huh..." he grinned widely on her cuteness and soon stops the car and asked her to get down there and wait... he left to park the car and back in few minute... she asked looking around, "Sameer hum yahaan kyun aaye hai..."

He smiled on her innocence and said dramatically, "keertan karne ke liye Naina... voh kya hai na aaj kal theatre hall mein bhajan keertan hote hai aur tum toh itni dharmik ho toh socha yahin le aata hun... tumhein bhi achchha lagega.."

She frowned making face, when he laughed loudly, "ab theatre ke baahar khade hokar aise sawaal karogi toh yahi jawaab milega na... ab chalo vaise hi der ho gayi hai..." she smiled and followed him murmuring, "pyaar se nahin bol sakta... sadu..." he takes two corner tickets and move inside but since they were late it was already dark inside, some ads were displaying on the screen...

She walked ahead towards their seat when fumbled due to dark but he saved her right on time... he held her tightly from shoulder and help her to walk in dark... she too held his hand tightly till they reached their seat and settled .... she gets happy seeing the name of the movie, "Judwa"... he leaned slightly to her and said, "tumhara favorite hai na Salman... aur ismein toh do do hai..." she smiled thinking, "tum se jyaada nahin.... in do se bhi jyaad mujhe tum ek hi pasand ho..." she recalled their first movie date ... movie starts but still being the comedy movie they both had lost their interest and hardly enjoy...

For Naina, she was missing the warmth, their closeness when first time she came with Sameer, how he took her in his arms closely, teaching him lessons of "Dating", teasing her... her eyes brimmed with tears even after seeing the funny scenes on screen, missing her old days, their closeness...

Sameer was too not in good condition either... he keep getting the same hazy images of someone sitting very close to him, hugging, laughing, teasing, feeding each other... his head starts paining badly... he shut his eyes tightly to avoid the images when she holds his hand tightly, relaxing him.... she rubbed on his arm softly to soothe him...

He opened his eyes and looked at her face in shades of light, she was even looking like an angel for him... "isse dekhte hi saare dard khatam ho jaate hai.. pata nahin kaisa jaadu hai is mein... isake chhune se hi lagta hai koi apna bohot kareeb ho... par mein toh isse theek se jaanta bhi nahin... kya rishta hai hamara... kuchh toh ankaha sa hai hum mein ki har baar jitna bhi dur jaaun utna hi isake paas aane ke liye man karta hai... kyun khud par kaabu nahin rakh pata..." soon their trance broke with a loud noise of laughter amongst from audience on some comedy scene played on the screen... they settled back but this time he didn't leave her hand, holding it softly in his palms, which is indeed giving him relief and calmness.... she too didn't object as after a long time they were sitting holding their hands...

During interval, he stood to get the snacks when turned and saw Munna sitting with Swati at their back seat... again the same kind of déjà vu feeling came to him and he laughed, "dekh le Munna, kahin pichhli baar ki tarah voh charon bhi hamare pichhe na ho.." Munna laughed when Sameer noticed what did he said but they all divert his mind to recall as doesn't have any answers for Rohan & Preeti... he left with Munna for snacks and soon they came back and join the girls...

While waiting at snacks counter Munna teased him, "kyun bhai, akele aaya hai.. Nanu kahaan hai, tujhe toh badi yaad aa rahi thi na aaj unki... kya bola tha unke saath time spent karna hai... kyun kyun..." while scratching his neck shyly he said, "yaar voh.. haan.. voh tum log chale gaye toh ghar bohot suna suna sa lag raha tha... Nanu ka phone aaya ki der se aayenge, toh mein Naina ko lekar movie dekhne aa gaya... ab is mein kaun si badi baat hai... tu jyaada kuchh mat soch... ab voh itni mehanat karti hai office mein.. saara saara din busy rehti hai, apne liye toh bilkul time nahin nikalati toh socha ek din toh usse rest karna chahiye, kuchh enjoy taaki dimaag fresh ho jaaye...."

Munna laughed hysterically holding his stomach, "bhai maine na sirf puchha tha, tu ne toh poori ramayan hi suna di... vaise tu inta ghabra kyun raha hai... matlab maine toh aisa kuchh galat nahin samjha jaisa tujhe lag raha hai... ya phir kuchh hai.." he teased him more, "dekh kuchh hai toh bata de, kahin pichhli bar ki tarah do saal mat laga dena sirf baat karne mein...."

Sameer stops him in between and asked, "do saal... kya matlab tera?" Munna got nervous and said, "voh... voh kuchh nahin.. chal jaldi chalein varna movie shuru ho jayegi..." he left followed by Sameer totally confused on his talks... "kuchh bhi bolta hai yeh... mein toh kuchh din pehle hi mila hoon Naina se... aur ab toh hum dost bhi hai..." he smiled widely and moved inside....

They request to the couple who was sitting next to Naina to exchange the seat which they agreed and Munna Swati settled with them... though Sameer was bit reluctant but didn't oppose either, "yaar kya jarurat thi inhein bagal mein baithane ki... ab dekho saare time Swati ke saath hi baatein kar rahi hai.. sab se alag ho kar movie ka plan banaya tha par sab flop ho gaya... aisa mere saath hi kyun hota hai...." she turned seeing him murmuring and smiled... she moved slightly to his side and holds his hand softly making him smile finally... rest of the movie went well enjoying pop-corn and Cold drink, talking with each other...

They came out from hall and decided to go law garden to have dinner... in between they called Pandit too to join, which he can never deny... after a fun filled evening Sameer Naina came back home when Ramdhari informed that Nanaji already slept... they too also went to their rooms and slept peacefully after spending a complete day together...

Next morning, they were leaving for office when Sameer noticed that all four tyres of his car were punctured... he shouts on Ramdhari when Nanu holding his smile said, "arey kyun chilla raha hai subah subah... hawa thi nikal gayi... jaise tu hai na ... Sameer.. hawa ka jhonka... kabhi bhi kahin bhi behne lagta hai, kabhi gayab ho jata hai..." saying this he laughed loudly...

Sameer irritates, "Nanu aap bhi na.... kuchh bhi bolte ho, ab mein aur Naina office kaise jaayenge, pata hai na launch ka kitna kaam pada hai aur kuchh hi din bache hai..."

Nanu smiled patted on his back, "haan toh theek hai na, bike par chala ja.. tujhe toh pasand hai na bike ride... aur agar dhyan se chalaye toh Naina ko bhi le ja apne saath, varna voh auto mein chali jayegi....." he said winking to him...

Sameer gets happy thinking of going with her on bike... then only Ramdhari came with bike keys and give it to him, "lijiye bhaiya chaabi, hum ne subah hi kapda maar ke ek dum chamka di thi aapki bike... humein laga hi tha ki aaj aap bike par jayenge..." Nanu hit him on his head for blurting anything...

Sameer glared him, "kyun tujhe sapna aaya tha ki aaj gaadi ke tyres puncture hone wale hai... bada aaya antaryaami..."

Ramdhari felt relieved murmured, "bhagwan ka shukra hai hum par shaq nahin kiya varna bike ke picche bandh kar duadate humein toh..."

Naina came out and saw Sameer, Nanu & Ramdhari standing there and asked, "kya hua.. koi problem hai kya... Sameer chalein, der ho rahi hai..." he winks to Nanu and went to get the bike from parking...

She surprised seeing Nanu smiling... she understood it's his plan only, she said slowly, "yeh kya kiya Nanu aapne, kitna pareshaan karte ho aap usako..." he chuckled like a kid, "subah garden mein ghoomte ghoomte bohot bore ho gaya tha, toh socha hawa nikaal dun... sachchi bada maja aaya, bachpan ki yaad aa gayi... aur us se bhi jyada maja tere iss sadu Boss ki shakal dekh kar aaya... kya mast kud kud karta hai yaar yeh..."

She looked him with fake anger, "Nanu... ab samajh aata hai ki yeh ut patang tarike Sameer ke dimaag mein aate kahaan se hai... sab aap se hi seekha hai usne... par ab mein usake saath bike par kaise jaaungi" he smiled caressing her head, "badi chinta ho rahi hai uski... ab ja jaldi se vaise hi jaise pehle jaati thi bike par... varna abhi jwalamukhi phat jayega..." he laughed and went inside with Ramdhari...

Sameer got the bike from parking and gesture her to sit... she hesitates when he said showing fake anger to scare her, "kyun tumhein kya lagta hai mujhe bike chalaani nahin aati... apne boss par shaq kar rahi ho..." he laughed seeing her scared face and said, "kitna darti ho yaar tum.... chalo ab der nahin ho rahi ... vaise chinta mat karo, giruanga nahin"

He forwards his hand to help her in sitting safely, like earlier... she held the bike stand and sits back keeping some distance.. he saw her in rear view and said, "Naina, theek se pakdo varna gir jaogi... chhutti nahin milegi soch lo..." she softly held his shoulder and he start bike with a wide smile...

Sameer's breathing became ragged, with her sitting so close to him... he felt blood rushing through his body... he could not able to calm his nerves but tried his best to focus on road... to avoid any more mishaps, he drive as slow as possible keeping control to hold her hand as desperate to hold her hand tightly thinking, "kaash office na jaana hota toh pura din aise hi bike par ghumata rehta... pehli baar jo itne kareeb baithi hai... bekaar hi log car pasand karte hai... bike se best kuchh nahin... par khud ko control karna bhi kitna mushkil ho raha hai..." he was cursing himself for putting him in such situation but enjoying the moment too....

They reached office and after dropping her at gate, taking a deep breath in relief, he went to park his bike in stand... they came inside and starts their work when Naina left outside for some work in other department...

She came back when Sameer was engrossed in working on Computer.. she went to his desk and asked, "voh Sameer.. if you don't mind, tum mujhe bhi computers sikha doge... I mean mujhe lagta hai kaam jyaada aasaan ho jaayega..." he happily agreed and asked her to start learning from today only... he shifts a bit and bring another chair for her and starts telling her how to operate...

While sitting so close to her, he remembered their morning trip on bike to office and smile crept on his lips thinking how close they were sitting... while explaining how to use Mouse, he leaned slightly more on her... his hands brushed over hers... his hot breath falling on her face... there mere touch sent tingles down their fragile heart but he didn't made any attempt to remove his hand... she lift her orbs to look into his deep brown eyes were staring her profusely and they both become lost.... she knew she can spend her life like this, staring into his eyes, being in utter blissful peace... he said huskily looking at her...

तेरी निगाह दिल से जिगर तक उतर गयी,
दोनों को ही एकअदा में रजामंद कर गई।

Before they could term what was happening, Munna Pandit barge into his cabin, to take them back in planet... spoiling their moment... Samaina pull their hands back and turned their faces awkwardly, noticed by Pandit who smirks looking at Sameer raising his brows, "kya ho raha tha yahaan..?"

Sameer stammered nervously saying, "voh... voh mein.. haan Naina ko computer sikha raha tha..." she too gets up to avoid them and left out from cabin looking down... hearing a loud laugh & teasing from their joker friends, "bhai aaj se hum bhi computer sikhenge... kitna handsome teacher mila hai..." Sameer hit both of them and starts their cat fight laughing and hugging each other....

Naina came in washroom standing in front of mirror looking at her hand, blushing hard... the simple touch after a long time can still sent shivers down her spine and she could still feel her heart hammering inside her chest. But then, a sad thought crossed her mind, "kya kabhi Sameer ko hamara rishta, hamara pyaar yaad aayega" she sighed.. this thought made her extremely miserable...

Soon, they all sit back for lunch... the rest of the meal passed silently with everyone munching on their food, while Sameer and Naina were stealing glances of each other. Luckily, their eyes did not meet and it did save them from more embarrassment.

Later Munshiji also joined them and they discussed all the production progress of material and planning for the launch event... after fully exhausted day, it's quite late in evening and most of the staff already left... they all were finishing the last discussion on event when peon came and informed Naina that a visitor came to meet her and waiting at meeting room... she left the room and went to meet the person... Sameer was busy with Munshiji, Munna & Pandit...

Mr Sharma - a middle age person in his late thirty sitting on the chair waiting for her... Naina entered in meeting room and greet him but the person was all lost in seeing her from tip to toe... his eyes were like glued on her making her uncomfortable... he forward his hand with a sugar coated voice, "hello Naina ji, kaisi hai aap...."

Naina smiled hesitantly and just greet him by saying "hello" without shaking her hand... she offered him to take a seat and sits in front of him across the table... before she initiates the discussion and asked reason for his arrival, he said, "bade din ho gaye the aapke darshan kiye huye... yahaan se guzar raha tha toh socha aapse milta jaaun, vaise bhi aap toh hamesha der raat tak office mein akele hi hoti hai na... aaj bhi lagta hai saara staff chala gaya...." getting irritated on his unnecessary arrival, she stands and about to leave out, "aap baithiye, mein kisi ko coffee ke liye bol kar aati hun...."

She reached till gate when he extends his hand and stop her way... "mein toh bas aap se baat karna chahta hun, aapko dekhna chahta hun, coffee ke liye kyun na kahin baahar chale... isi bahane thoda achchhe se jaan lenge ek dusre ko..."

Naina looked at her angrily and said sternly, "dekhiye, mujhe iss tarah ki fizul baaton ka shok nahin hai... agar aapko koi kaam nahin hai toh aap ja sakte hai..." he took a step ahead towards her saying, "arey aap naraaz mat hoiye... vaise mujhe laga office mein aur koi nahin hoga iss waqt tak toh aap akela feel kar rahi hongi...." he laughed shamelessly and about to touch her hand but she immediately take a step back and bumped with the chair lying there but took a hold of table... then only door open and Sameer with Pandit entered in cabin... she gets relieved seeing them both here...

Pandit asked sternly, "so Mr Sharma, achanak kaise aana hua aapka..." Mr Sharma, "arey voh mein achanak yahaan se huzar raha tha toh socha Naina Madam se mil leta hun... vaise aap se mujhe kuchh kaam nahin tha... aap chaho toh ja sakte ho... mujhe laga office khaali hoga..."

Naina immediately looked at Pandit with pleading eyes, on which he assures his support... "nahin its okay, aap Naina se discuss kar lijiye jo karna hai, mein yahin baitha hun.." saying this he sits on chair getting adamant in front of him giving him a deadly glare...

Sameer was watching all their face expressions.... Pandit's adamancy to attend the meeting... Sharma's attempts to avoid Pandit & Sameer... Naina looking down nervously fidgeting her hand... Sameer looked at Naina with an assurance look and ask her to sit next to him only....seeing her hands shivering his eyes turned red in anger... he clenched his knuckles tightly that they turned white...

He turned to Mr Sharma with a fiery look, "So, Mr Sharma, I am Sameer Maheshwari, CEO of Maheshwari Industries.. aap mujhe bataiye aisa kya discuss karna hai aapko jo itni der se hamare office aana pada..." seeing his burning eyes Mr Sharma stammered, "voh.. voh nahin.. matlab kuchh khaas nahin... mein chalta hun, mujhe der ho rahi hai..." before he left Sameer forward his hand to shake...

His grip on his hand gets rough, almost crushing his bones, said sternly with fiery look, "Mr Sharma, aaj se aapki saari deals mein personally khud handle karunga... aur agar aap hamare saath kaam na karna chaahe toh mujhe aur bhi khushi hogi aapki company ke saath kaam na kar ke.... aur haan yeh hamara office hai, koi company garden nahin jahaan aap kabhi bhi bina appointment ke itni late evening mein aa jaaye... aage se dhyaan rakhiyega.. mujhe apni baat dohrana achchha nahin lagta.." he opened the door and gesture him to get out from the room.. wiping sweat formed on his forehead he immediately left the room....

Sameer turned to Pandit, "aaj ke baad yeh insaan mujhe iss office mein dikhna nahin chahiye... Pandit issi waqt, watchman ko aur reception par inform kar de abhi isi waqt..."

Pandit left when he turned to Naina holding her from shoulder make her sit on chair, he sits beside her, "Naina, tum dost maanti ho na mujhe, toh bataya kyun nahin... tumhein lagta hai ki aise logon ke saath business hamare liye jyaada important hai tumhari izzat se... agar mujhe pata hota toh mein isse yahaan ghusane bi nahin deta... please ro mat, mujhse tumhari aankhon mein aansun nahin dekhe jaate...."

Naina looking down controlling her sobs, "Sorry, voh mujhe pata nahin tha... voh achanak aa gaye..." taking a deep breathe he hold her face in his palm, "dekho meri taraf... Naina mujhe jyada kuchh yaad nahin par itna janta hun ki kisi bhi ladki ki izzat mujhe apne business aur jaan se jyada pyaari hai... aur tum.. tumhare liye toh mein kuchh bhi..." he stops in between and keep looking into each other eyes...

Their trance broke by Munna Pandit entered in cabin.. "Bhai maine sabko kah diya hai tu chinta mat kar... aaj ke baad voh ghatiya insaan hamare office ke aas paas bhi nahin dikhega... " he turned to Naina getting worried for her, "Naina tu theek hai na..."

She wiped her tears and nodded her head in yes.... to lighten her mood Sameer offered, "Pandit itni der ho gayi hai aur bhukh bhi lagi hai... chalo Law garden chalte hai, kuchh kha kar vahin se ghar chale jayenge..."

Munna Pandit agreed and called Swati & Priya too to join them there only... after a complete tiring day and evening incident, they all enjoy their fun time together...

Sameer relaxed seeing her all smiling, "kitni pyaari lagti hai aise muskurate huye... agar uss Sharma ne isake saath kuchh kiya hota toh mein uski jaan le leta..." his thought break and he realize, "par aaj ek ajeeb baat huyi... mein munshiji ke saath busy tha par mujhe laga shayad kuchh galat ho raha hai aur mein meeting room mein chala gaya... agar yeh musibat mein thi toh mujhe kyun ehsaas hua... aur mein kyun hamesha iske liye itna possessive, itna protective ho jata hun... matlab iski aankhon ke aansu mujhe itni takleef kyun dete hai.. aaj ek pal mein maine iske liye us Sharma ki company ke saath saare contract tod diye... bina soche samjhe... kyun yeh mere liye itne mayne rakhti hai... kahin mein sach mein isase pyaar toh nahin...." he smiled widely looking her beautiful smiling face... "shayad Munna Pandit sahi kehte hai... I think I am in Love with her... par kya voh bhi mujhse?"

While reaching home late, Naina went to her room when Sameer informed Nanu that he is going to cancel all his orders with Sharma's company and reveal the reason which Nanu appreciate a lot...

Naina in her room, keep thinking about him, his words echoing in her mind that he can't see her crying at all.. she wanted to forget all as doesn't want to keep any hopes again... but how can she do it, if he holds her hand so gently and gives her such a caring and protective look. She still remembered how his eyes were red in anger and how he protectively saved her today....

Tumhari aakho me samana chahte hai, tere dil me koi thikana chahte hai..

thak gaye hum karte karte yad tujhko, ab tujhe hum yaad aana chahte hai....

Next few days went well, all were excited and nervous too as this is the first time they are handling such event without Nanu present personally, though he has given his guidance time to time...
