Next morning Sameer woke up seeing Naina sleeping cuddling into her finding it bit weird... it's not very usual as she always woke up early before him... he tried to sit back but won't able to move as her grip was even more tighter on him... he smiled seeing her holding him so tightly even in deep slumber.... he shift slightly, removing hair strands from her face touched her cheeks but suddenly his hand stop... he touched her forehead, neck finding it warm... worriedly he looked at her face... even in sleep, slight pain and discomfort was visible on her face...

He moved to get up which disturbed her sleep and she stir to open her heavy eyes when Sameer patted her head softly to make her sleep again... covering her with duvet he left for washroom... getting freshen up without making any noise he went out from room where Vishakha was having tea with Nanu and Vivek...

He went to her hurriedly, "Mummy... Mummy, voh dekho na... Naina... voh us ko bohot tez bukhaar hai... uski tabiyat bohot jyaada kharaab hai... chehre se bhi bohot kamjor lag rahi hai achanak.... kal raat tak toh theek thi par achanak... mujhe kuchh samajh nahin aa raha kya hua.." his eyes were about to shed tears when seeing his tensed face Vishakha rushed to his room, "chal mein dekhti hun.. achanak kya hua.."

Nanu keeping his hand on his shoulder calm him, "tu chinta mat kar... Vishakha abhi dekh legi... kal raat tak toh theek thi achanak kya hua..." Sameer looked at him with teary eyes when Vivek said, "jaa uska khyaal rakh, agar jarurat hogi toh doctor ko bula lenge..."

Vishakha checked her forehead and relaxed that the fever was not too much.. seeing Sameer coming inside room, she scold him, "paagal hai kya... darra diya mujhe.... tension mat le, lagta hai seasonal bukhaar hai, abhi utar jayega... tu baith iske paas mein dawai aur naashta bhejti hun... kuchh khila dena pehle phir dawai de dena..."

Not getting convinced he said, "Mummy ... voh... mujhe lagta hai hospital le jaana chahiye..." she looked him amaze and holding her laughter hit on his head, "sahi kehti hai Naina tujhe... buddhu hi hai... kuchh nahin hua... usey utha mein chai bhejti hun... vahi sambhalegi tujhe ab..." she left laughing slowly..

Wiping his tears, he caressed her hair slowly making her awake with damp eyes, "Naina... jaan please utho dekho tumhein kitna tez bukhaar hai... tum dawai kha lo phir aaraam karna..." she stir a bit and try to sit back when he helped her placing pillow on her back...

She smiled weakly seeing his tensed face to convince him, "mein theek hun Sameer... yeh ho jaata hai kabhi kabhi... voh actually weakness aur pain ki wajah se hota hai... thodi der mein theek ho jayega, tum ghabraao mat..." he panicked more holding her hand, "weakness... Naina tumne bataya kyun nahin pehle mujhe... dekha maine kaha tha na ki tum thak jaati ho office mein... saari galti meri hai... mujhe tumhein force nahin karna chahiye tha... I am sorry.."

She smiled on his cuteness and laughed making him more confuse, "tum hans kyun rahi ho... meri koi baat nahin maanti na tum... pehle kyun nahin bataya aur raat mein mujhe kyun nahin uthaya jab tabiyat theek nahin lag rahi thi... aur ek mein hun paas hokar bhi dhyaan nahin rakha tumhara... saari galti meri hi hai... I am sorry jaan.." he said feeling guilty for not able to take care of her...

She cupped his face and kissed on his cheek lovingly, "tum na bilkul buddhu hi ho... kya laga rakha hai subah se, sorry, maaf kar do... kyun apne aap ko dosh de rahe ho jabki..." before she complete Vishakha entered in room holding a tray with tea, coffee and sandwiches... Sameer shifted a bit and took the tray from her hand, placing it on side table... Vishakha checked on her forehead again, getting assurance look from Naina, "maa mein theek hun... please ab aap chitna mat kijiye..." Vishakha rolled her eyes looking at Sameer gesturing Naina who smiles in return...

Vishakha caressing her head said lovingly, "beta naashta karke tum aaraam karo... yeh ek pain killer hai saath mein agar jarurat ho toh le lena... theek hai... aur aaj office nahin jaaogi tum..." she nodded her head...

Sameer looked at her amazingly and about to say something when Vishakha said to Naina, "aur iss buddhu ko bhi sambhalo... subah se ghar mein toofan macha rakha hai isne... jara si bhi akkal nahin hai isko... pata nahin kab bada hoga..." she hit on his head laughing and left the room leaving Naina feeling shy lowering her eyes...

Sitting close to her, he hold her hand asking cutely, "yeh kya tha... matlab Mummy bukhar ki dawai ki jagah pain killer kyun dekar gayi tumhein... aur mujhe buddhu kyun kaha... ab maine kya kiya..." she pulled his cheeks cutely, "buddhu kyunki voh samajh gayi hai ki mere periods aaye huye hai... kabhi kabhi dard ki wajah se halka sa bukhaar ho jaata hai... its natural aur mujhe toh vaise bhi bohot weakness hoti hai... yaad hai na maine bataya bhi tha tumhein college mein..."

He scratch his head recalling their college time when he got to know about her monthly cycles... he asked getting more confused, "par tab toh tumne kaha tha ki sirf pet mein dard hota hai... aur iss baar bukhaar hai... Naina aise toh har baar koi nayi problem hogi tumhein..." he firmly hold her hand getting more panicked, "tum... tum abhi chalo mere saath doctor ke paas... mein aise nahin dekh sakta tumhein... hum aaj hi saare test kara ke treatment start karwayenge... majaak hai kya yeh sab aise dard sehna... har baar ek nayi takleef... mujhse nahin dekha jayega..." she hold his hand making him sits back, explaining the issue which all girls faced during this period and everyone's symptoms and pains are different...

Though he agreed reluctantly but seeing her in pain is never be accepted for him... he make her drink hot tea with breakfast... Sameer asked , "Naina ek baat bataao, mummy ko kaise pata chala, voh kaise samajh gayi thi apne aap, tumne unhein toh bataya hi nahin.." she smiled saying, "voh Maa hai na... isiliye unhein batana nahin pada..." he too smiled saying, "kaash tum meri zindagi mein pehle aa jaati... Mummy ka yeh side toh maine bhi kabhi mehsoos nahin kiya.. par tum na sach much ki pari hi ho, apne jaadu se sab badal diya..." he laughed scrunching her nose...

Giving her medicine, he too laid down close to her giving his warmth, making her comfortable, giving soft massage on her back... soon she drift into sleep getting relief in pain and fever also gets down...

After few hours she opened her eyes seeing no one around her... thinking Sameer might have left for office she sits back feeling very weakness... she went to get freshen... a hot shower helps to relaxing her paining nerves... she came out from washroom when Sameer entered in room with a tray filled with her favorite breakfast and milk for her...

She asked surprisingly, "tum yahaan kya kar rahe ho... factory nahin gaye aaj..." he smiled kissing on her forehead... holding her from shoulder make her sit on bed comfortably, "maine kaha tha na ki tumhein chhod kar akele nahin jaaunga.. aur tumhari itni tabiyat kharaab thi toh kaise chala jaata..." giving her milk he said, "pehle tum yeh sab khaao aur phir aaraam karo... aaj tum koi kaam nahin karogi... mein tumhara poora dhyaan rakhunga poora din tumhare paas... promise.."

Seeing him so much concerned she smiled asking, "pehle bataao tumne kuchh khaaya..." he shook his head with a smile, "tumhare bina kabhi khaaya hai maine... aur mujhe pehli bite toh tumhare haath se hi khaani thi na..."

Naina gave him coffee and feed breakfast, "buddhu, mein so rahi thi toh tumhein aise bhukhe nahin rehna chahiye tha na... kisi din mein na huyi toh... kya karoge... bolo..." he hold her wrist with teary eyes, "khabardaar jo dobara aisa bola toh... kahin nahin jaaogi tum mujhe chhod kar... ek pal ke liye bhi nahin, samjhi tum..." he pulled her in a tight hug... she caressed his back to console him, "Sameer, mera matlab voh nahin tha... tum please aise ro mat... I am sorry, tumhein hurt nahin karna chahti thi..."

They sits back completing their breakfast... Naina said, "par Sameer aise nahin chalega na... hum mein se kisi ek ko toh office jaana hi padega na.." he smiled feeding her fruits said, "tum tension mat lo... maine saara kaam ghar se hi manage kar liya hai... subah se phone par sab se baat bhi kar li aur saara kaam bhi sambhal liya..." Naina agreed as knowing him well that he will not leave her alone in pain...

They were talking when Ramdhari came to give him cordless, "voh bhaiya... Pandit bhaiya ka phone hai factory se... aapse baat karni hai..." he took the phone and talked for some time... cutting down the line he turned to her, "voh Pandit kah raha tha ki ek naye supplier ke saath ek urgent meeting hai... uske liye mujhe jaana padega... par tum chinta mat karo, mein jaldi aa jaaunga... sorry man toh nahin hai par mana nahin kar sakta tha..." he said lowering his eyes with a mixed feeling of sad and guilty for leaving her alone..

Naina lift his face in her palms looking into his eyes, "Sameer, idhar dekho meri taraf... hum ek dusre ki taakat hai, kamjori nahin... aur phir saara ghar hai, Maa hai na mere saath... tum meri chinta mat karo aur aaraam se meeting karke aa jaana... aur haan hamesha yaad rakhna ki I love you soooo much... aur mujhe pata hai ki tumse jyaada pyaar mujhe koi aur kar hi nahin sakta..." she hold him close and giving a soft kiss on his lips making him smile too...

Sameer kept his hand on her face, without breaking the eye lock... he cupped her face and brough her lips back to his own, and Naina responded extremely enthusiastically... when Sameer had sucked all her sweetness out of her mouth, he broke away... left with no energy in her she keep her head on his chest and he wrapped her in his arms around her petite figure, resting his head on hers...."Love you too Jaan.."

After Sameer left for office giving lots of instructions to rest, Vishakha came to check on her asking to rest some more time... Naina said cutely making pout, "Maa, ab aap toh samjho... subah se so rahi hun... ab toh neend bhi nahin aayegi..." but Vishakha instruct her to just rest in room only and left to organize lunch as her few friends from their business circle from Delhi are going to visit them today... especially to meet her daughter-in-law's..

After Vishakha left, Naina sits back on study table and starts finishing her pending article... even after getting so much busy in office she never leave to give article in magazine and newspaper... Sameer and whole family always support her and encourage to write more...

Around noon, getting tired she decided to go out and sit with Vishakha for some time to keep her mind fresh... knowingly guest must have arrived she change her dress before going out... she saw Vishakha was sitting with few ladies, almost same of her age... gossiping on hot topics of Delhi... upcoming fashion trends and all...

Naina greets them softly, "Namaste aunty..." Vishakha stood coming close to her, "Mrs Sharma, yeh hai meri badi bahu Naina.. Sameer ki biwi... ek bohot badi writer aur saath mein business bhi sambhalti hai... aur meri chhoti bahu Preeti, Rohan ki wife, voh abhi baahar gayi huyi hai... usne kuchh nahine pehle hi apna boutique khola hai..." caressing Naina's head she added, "donon bohot pyaari bachchiyaan hai... jab se aayi hai hamara ghar toh khushiyon se bhar gaya hai... poore ghar ko sambhalna, sabse pyaar karna aur sabse badi baat mujhe in donon ke roop mein do betiyaan bhi mil gayi hai..." she keep praising Naina and Preeti when Naina taking excuse went to kitchen, "Maa, aap log baatein kijiye, mein Ramdhari bhaiya ki help kar deti hun..." she left even after Vishakha denied..

Naina was going towards kitchen when phone rings... she picked and both said "hello" together... she smiles when he asked worriedly, "tumhein room mein aaraam karne ke liye kaha tha na... baahar kya kar rahi ho..." making a pout she said, "mein thak gayi thi aaraam kar kar ke... tumhein pata hai mujhe aadat nahin.. aur yeh kya baat huyi, shaadi se pehle toh hero, majnu, Ranjha bane rehte the aur ab dekho Mogambo ban gaye ho... bas har waqt hukum chalana hai... mujhe laga phone kiya hai toh pyaar bhari baatein karoge par nahin... bas har waqt daantate rehte ho..." she said showing fake anger...

He laughed on her cuteness, "tumse na baaton mein koi nahin jeet sakta... achchha yeh batao, tabiyat kaisi hai... ab bukhaar toh nahin..." she nodded her head when he laughed again, "samajh gaya... sar hila kar phone par batana koi tumse seekhe..." she smiled lovingly, "aur bina kahe mere man ki baat janana bhi koi tumse seekhe..."

Naina hitting on her forehead, "oh god, tumhare chakkar mein bhool hi gayi... Maa ki Delhi se friends aayi huyi hai, unke liye naashta bhejna tha... chalo mein baad mein baat karti hun..."

Sameer said instantly, "par Naina, tum kyun kar rahi ho... aur suno, voh Delhi ki ladies thodi ajeeb hai... mein mila hun kai baar unse Delhi mein... tum unke saath jyaada mat baithna.. mein nahin chahta koi tumhein kuchh kahe... voh log vaise bhi sirf show-off mein believe karti hai..."

Naina said politely to convince him, "Sameer, tum meri chinta mat karo... Maa hai mere saath aur phir hamesha itna negative mat socha karo... tum bas meeting khatam karke jaldi aa jaao... I am missing you.. ab mujhe bhi tumhare bina rehne ki aadat nahin hai..." he kissed on the receiver in hand, "love you so much jaan... bas mein thodi der mein aaya, par tum ab aaraam karna...okay..." they smiled and disconnect the call...

Seeing Naina coming in kitchen Ramdhari asked concernedly, "Bhabhi aap kyun aayi... kuchh chahiye toh mujhe bataiye na... Sameer bhaiya ne dekh liya toh pata hai na aapko kya karenge..." Naina smiled on his concern, "bhaiya mein ab bilkul theek hun... chaliye milkar sabke liye kuchh tasty sa banate hai... Sameer bhi aane wale hai..." together they prepare so many dishes to serve for the guests in short span of time...

Vishakha sits back with her friends happily chatting when one of her friend said, "Vishakha vaise bura mat manana, tumne kya soch kar middle class ghar ki aisi ladki se apne bete ki shaadi karwa di... humne dekha hai Sameer ko jab Delhi aaya tha... itna laayak aur handsome ladke ke liye toh ek se badkar ek ladki mil jaati... agar nahin mil rahi thi toh humse kaha hota... hamare business circle mein toh kitni reputed families hai..."

Vishakha said with a smile, "aapne sahi kaha, ladki toh jaroor mil jaati par usmein Naina jaisi qualities nahin milti... aap ko sirf uski kami dikhti hai par humein uske dil ki sundarta, uska bholapan aur sachchai dikhti hai jisse usne saare ghar ko bandh rakha hai... mujhe bhi pehle galatfahmi huyi thi aur maine apne hi bachchon ko nahin samjha tha par yakin maniye, jis din se ise dil se apnaya hai dil ko itna sukoon mila hai jitna toh Sameer aur Rohan ko bhi gale lagakar kabhi nahin milata tha... aap mera poora pariwaar ek saath hai toh inn donon ki wajah se hi hai..."

Both the ladies feels guilty and apologize, "nahin Vishakha aisi baat nahin... hum toh bas yun hi kah rahe the par tumhari baatien sun kar lagta hai sach mein kisi heere ko pasand karke laayi ho..."

Vishakha said proudly, "humne nahin iss heere ne hamara ghar chuna hai, yeh hamare liye saubhagya ki baat hai... sach kahun toh jitni respect Naina Preeti karti hai meri utni toh shayad kabhi Sameer aur Rohan ne bhi nahin ki hogi... aur itni masoom hai ki unhein duniya ka har insaan apni tarah masoom hi lagta hai... jara bhi chhal kapat nahin hai..."

Vishakha keep praising Naina and Preeti, their achievements, their success when Naina came out with Ramdhari serving so many dishes on table... Vishakha scolds her lovingly, "tumhein mana kiya tha na kaam nahin karna, par tum maani nahin... aane do Sameer ko, vahi sambhalega tumhein.. donon poore paagal hi ho.."

Naina smiled sitting next to Vishakha, "Maa, please mein bohot thak gayi thi aaraam kar ke... aap yeh sab chhodiye aur yeh khakar bataiye, maine banaya hai aap sabke liye..." she offered the snacks and coffee made by her which all likes and appreciate her ...

All the ladies gets so much impressed by her nature, achievements and even with her cooking making Vishakha proud... soon Preeti too came back and join them... seeing the bonding between three, one of her friend said, "Vishakha sach kahun toh tumhein dekh kar jalan si ho rahi hai.. kitni pyaari hai tumhari donon bahu... tum logon ko dekh kar toh sab tumhein Maa Beti hi samjhenge.."

Vishakha said looking both the girls, "haan, toh mujhe bhi inki saas nahin Maa hi banana hai... itni pyaari betiyon ka moh mein kaise chhod dun..." another lady smiled turning to Naina Preeti, "beta agar tumhari koi aur behen ho toh batana... mujhe bhi mere bete ke liye aisi hi ladki chahiye... bilkul tum donon jaisi... taaki mera ghar bhi aise hi hansi khushi se bhar jaaye..."

Rohan entered from back with Sameer laughing loudly, "Sorry aunty, Agarwal's ka stock toh khatam ho gaya hai... badi mehanat se saara maal hum ne chura liya hai, ab kisi ko nahin denge..." getting a playful smack on his arm from Naina Preeti, "kuchh bhi..."

Rohan sits close to the girls whispering, "tumhari O Bai ko de de... kya mast jodi hogi na... yeh moti aur voh bhains... donon milkar saari duniya mein toofan layengi..." only audible to four of them they all laughed making fun of Taiji...

Sameer gets happy seeing her better than morning and in bubbly mood... knowing the guests at home from Delhi he was more worried for Naina as doesn't want anyone to hurt her but relaxed finding her gelling up with all, "har kisi ko apna bana leti hai yeh..."

After spending some more time ladies left assuring to come back again... they invited Naina Preeti also to come Delhi which they agreed happily... they all sits together and discussed on their planning for new year celebration outing enjoying the snacks and coffee...

Naina came to Vishakha finding them both alone in room, "Maa.. voh, mein aapse thanks kehna chahti thi.." Vishakha raised her brows in confusion.. taking a deep sigh she continued, "sorry, par maine achanak se aap logon ki baatein sun li thi... jis tarah aapne apni friends ke saamne mujhe support kiya, mera saath diya, mujhe bohot achchha laga... sach kahun toh mujhe bhi darr tha ki aapki friends kaise react karengi par aapne sab sambhal liya... mein hamesha bhagwan se shikayat karti thi ki mujhse meri Maa ko kyun china, maine toh unki shakal bhi nahin dekhi... par aaj unhone mujhe meri Maa bhi vaapas kar di..." their eyes brimmed with tears of joy and happiness..

Vishakha cupped her face kissing on her forehead, "tumhein beti maana hai maine... aur tum uske laayak bhi ho... sorry toh mujhe bhi kehna chahiye ki meri friends ne yeh sab kaha par Naina apni galtiyon se hi maine seekha hai ki baahar wale tabhi aapko nuksaan de sakte hai agar aapke ghar wale aapke saath na ho... jaise Kamlesh bhaiya aur Bhabhi ne meri kamjori ka faayda uthaya tha..." wiping her tears she smiled, "aur vaise bhi maine jo bhi kuchh kaha poore man se kaha... tum har lihaaj se iss taarif ke laayak ho... mein hi andhi thi jo tumhare man ki sachchai nahin dekh paayi thi, par ab kisi ko tum bachchon ki khushiyon kam nahin karne dungi... chaahe voh hamare kitne hi apne kyun na ho..." she took her in her embrace giving all motherly love...

Sameer wiping his tears, wrapped them both in his arms making a grumpy face, "aap donon hamesha mujhe toh bhool hi jaate ho na... I also love you both na..." seeing each other they all laughed...
