Next day Naina called Sameer early morning, "Sameer tum abhi Rohan ko lekar mandir aa jaao, mujhe tum donon se kuchh jaruri baat karni hai.. mein Preeti ke saath aa rahi hun..." before he asked anything, she disconnect the call... Sameer got confused, "tabiyat theek nahin hai, itna dard hai phir mandir kyun jaana hai isse... aur mujhe bhi Rohan ke saath bulaya hai... jaroor inn donon ka hi kuchh matter hoga... pata nahin kab bade honge donon....."

Sameer wake up Rohan, "Rohan uth jaldi se... mandir jaana hai, Naina ne urgent bulaaya hai.." he shocked firstly but silently get up, they too left after informing Ramdhari that they will be back soon... Rohan was quiet but fear can be seen clearly seen on his face making Sameer more tensed...

After informing Chachiji, Naina and Preeti left for mandir... Naina Preeti took an auto and went to mandir, Preeti was silently crying whereas Naina was sitting tensed thinking her conversation with Preeti last night...

Flashback

Late night after talking to Sameer, Naina keep the cordless on side table and tried to sleep when phone rang again after few minutes.... thinking it must be Sameer again, she picked up the phone but it was Rohan.. he requested to her, "Sorry Bhabhi itni raat ko aapko disturb kar diya par please Preeti se baat karwa dengi...." she surprised as this is not usual in between them to talk late night but seeing their weird behavior from last few days, she nodded, "koi baat nahin Rohan... tum ruko mein uthati hun isse.." she jerked her but found Preeti was awake, another surprise for her.. she handed phone to her, "yeh le Rohan ka phone hai.. mein baahar jaati hun tu baat karle aaraam se..."

Preeti took the cordless and disconnect the call saying, "chhod na kal baat kar lungi.. tu so ja, mujhe bhi neend aa rahi hai.." Naina got shocked seeing her behavior and scold her, "Preeti yeh kya baat huyi... kam se kam puchh toh leti ki itani raat ko kyun phone kiya... aise hi phone kaat diya... hua kya hai tum donon ko, itna ajeeb behave kar rahe ho..." Preeti too replied rudely and laid down again turning her back towards her, "haan toh kyun kiya usane itni raat ko phone.. pata hai na mein so jaati hun jaldi... sab kuchh uske man se toh nahin chalega na... mujhe nahin karni koi baat usase..."

Naina took a deep breath to calm her and hold her arm to turned her back, "Preeti aise kyun baat kar rahi hai yaar... kya matlab in sabka... aur aaj toh tu jaag hi rahi hai na... uth mujhe tujhse baat karni hai.... do din se dekh rahi hun, kitni pareshaan hai... har waqt khoi khoi si rehti hai, kisi se na koi baat karti hai, na hans rahi hai.. aur Rohan se bhi nahin milne gayi do dinon se, varna toh ek din bhi nahin ruka jata tujhse... kya hua hai Rohan se jhagda hua hai kya..."

Naina tried hard to make her speak and finally Preeti sits back lowering her head. Naina cupped her face, lifts and saw her face filled with tears.. Preeti hugged her tightly and cried hard... Naina getting more worried as this is not what she can expect from her.. she is always very strong in all circumstances and never gets so weak, but today she seems hurt, totally broken... she parted from her and wipe her tears, "kya hua Preeti, dekh mein tujhe har baat batati hun na toh tu nahin batayegi kya... please bol aur aise ro mat.. kya hua bai bata mujhe..."

Preeti keep crying hard for some more time until her sobs down... she holds her hand in hers and finally voiced, "Sorry Naina... mujhe kuchh samajh nahin aa raha yeh sab kaise hua, kyun hua... tu yakeen kar humne jaan bujh kar kuchh nahin kiya par.. humse ek galti ho gayi hai...." she narrates...

At Camp...

After reaching village they all set up the camp and helped all villagers to come and get their check-up done free of cost... even few generic medicines were distributed to needy ones at free of cost... villagers gets so happy with their gesture and concern for them and their kids...

In evening Sarpanch offered them all to come to their house for dinner prepared by them as a token of love from their side.. a way to say thanks... they all accepted their invitation and went there except few who were fully exhausted after such a tiring day... even Pandit and Priya also prefers to spend time alone so denied to accompany them....

Being getting bit difficulty in understanding their local language they misunderstood and Munna Swati & Rohan Preeti with others had a drink mixed with bit of bhaang... after dinner they all came back to the small guest house which was arranged for their night stay and slept in their rooms...

Munna Swati was in one room as they are married, Preeti & Priya was sharing a room whereas Pandit & Rohan was in other room... during mid night Preeti wake up with a voice when saw Priya was going out... she called her from back when she informed that she is going out with Pandit for a walk to a nearby pond... after she left Preeti tried a lot to sleep but her head was spinning badly due to effect of bhaang mixed drink and she starts feeling scared in room alone... she get up and went out to call Swati for help but stumbled in corridor when Rohan hold her to save... they had an intense eye lock, even Rohan was also in severe effect of bhaang... he carries her in his arms and took her in his room, locked it from inside... he placed her on bed and checked on her foot... he massaged slowly to relieve her without breaking the eye lock...

Early morning hours, Preeti opened her eyes but her head was spinning badly... she holds her head from her hands tightly and rub it when she lifts her eyes to see Rohan was sleeping next to her.... she roamed around her eyes to see that she was in his room... she realize her clothes with Rohan's were scattered on the floor.... she immediately stood and wear hers.... Rohan to awake with noise, he too sits back with severe headache... he turned her face and saw Preeti was sitting next to him on his bed with tears rolling down on her cheeks continuously.... they realized their situation and shocked recalling the incident happen last night... Rohan was sitting point blank looking her totally lost... she silently stood gather her dupatta which was still lying on floor with his t-shirt and rush to her room... Priya was still not returned with Pandit, so Preeti silently entered in her room and locked from inside.... Rohan came running after her and keep knocking on door but Preeti didn't respond and open door for him.... he too left from there to avoid creating any scene which can put her in trouble more....

Present - Preeti cried hard hugging Naina, "sach Naina jo bhi hua sab nashe ki haalat mein hua... kuchh samajh nahin aaya, humein toh hosh bhi nahin tha.. sach kahun toh yaad bhi nahin theek se ki kya hua tha raat ko, kaise hua... mein kab uske kamre mein gayi, kuchh yaad nahin mujhe... par usake baad se mein Rohan se toh kya khud se bhi najaren nahin mila pa rahi hun... Rohan ne kai baar koshish ki baat karne ki par meri himmat hi nahin huyi... voh bhi guilt mein hai, par uska bhi dosh nahin hai... hamare haalat kharaab the..."

Naina got biggest shock of her life listening this but knowing and trusting Preeti, she knew she must handle this situation calmly. She rubbed her back to calm as seeing her losing her breathe after crying so much... she gave her water to relax and quiet her... she makes her rested down and laid besides her caressing her hair to let her sleep properly....

Flashback end

They reached mandir where Rohan and Sameer were already waiting for them... Sameer rush to help her to gets down as knowing how much pain she is bearing now days... he got shocked seeing Preeti's swollen eyes turned red and Naina's pale face... rather than going to Mandir Naina offered to go to park adjacent to Mandir, which he agreed seeing all their tensed faces...... Rohan and Preeti were looking down and seeing Naina's face Rohan understood that she is aware now... he left no courage to face her anymore and lowered his eyes...

Sameer gets more worried seeing all so tensed, "koi batayega kya hua hai... kuchh toh tension hai, mein kitne din se Rohan se puchh raha hun par batata hi nahin... Preeti tum batao kya baat hai... trust me agar isne tumse jhagda kiya hoga toh isake kaan pakad kar sorry bulwaunga..." Preeti was still quiet not looking at him, keep crying continuously...

Naina hold his hand and make him sit back with her... she slowly told him everything which Preeti told her last night in minimal of words as she herself was not comfortable discussing all this with Sameer that too in front of Rohan...

Shock was an understatement for Sameer too... he gets up and slapped hard at Rohan... Naina stood with a jerk to stop him but wince in pain loudly, "Sameer.... aah..." all turned to her and hold her to sit back.... Sameer asked concernedly, "kaha tha na ghar par aaraam karne ko... kya jarurat thi baahar aane ki... hum ghar aa jaate..." she looked at his face and said slowly, "ghar par kaise baat karte.."

Sameer looked at Rohan angrily when she tightly holds his hand to not to slap him again... "nahin Sameer, ismein kisi ki koi galti nahin hai... jo hua voh ek accident tha... yeh donon toh khud itne sharminda hai apne kiye par ki hum kya saza denge inko..."

Sameer shouted back on her too, "sharminda... tum abhi bhi iski tarafdari kar rahi ho... yeh sab karne se pehle ek baar nahin socha ki iska anzaam kya hoga... mujhe yakeen nahin ho raha Naina ki tum isse bacha rahi ho"

Rohan cried hard saying, "Sameer please Bhabhi ko gussa mat kar... jo kehna hai, thappad maarna hai mujhe maar le... anjaane mein hi sahi maine gunaah hi aisa kiya hai... ismein saari galti sirf aur sirf meri hai... mein apni jimmedari par Preeti ko saath lekar gaya tha aur yeh sab...." he stops in between as unable to said anything more.....

Naina pleads through his eyes to Sameer, "please.." he took a deep breathe, trying to control his anger... he looked at Rohan who was still crying hard like a kid, he melts seeing his little brother shattered like this... Naina gesture him to go and talk with Rohan.. he took a step and pulled him in his embrace tightly.. "ab chup kar... aise bachchon ki tarah ro raha hai..."

Rohan cried more, "Sameer please maar le, gaali de de par naraaz mat ho... teri narazagi nahin sah sakta mein... sach kah raha hun ki jo kuchh bhi huaa jaan bujh kar nahin huaa... mein apne kiye par bohot sharminda hun... meri galti toh maafi ke laayak bhi nahin hai...."

Naina put her hand on his shoulder, "Rohan jo hua voh nahin hona chahiye tha... par jis tarah se tum donon behave kar rahe ho voh bhi toh galat hai na... tum pyaar karte ho na ek dusre se, shaadi hone wali hai ek mahine mein... kaise sambhaloge zindagi ki badi badi mushkilen agar ek dusre ka hi saath chhod doge aise..."

Sameer too agreed with Naina, "aur kya... maana galti huyi hai par kya pyaar bhi khatam ho gaya tumhara ek dusre ke liye... aise waqt mein toh ek dusre ka saath dena chahiye tha aur tum donon ek dusre se hi dur bhaag rahe ho.. itna kamjor pyaar hai ki jara si thokar mein bikhar gaya..."

Preeti Rohan looked them shockingly as they had never thought on this way and were behaving rudely with each other even knowing & believing that no one was on at fault truly... they realized their mistake...

Preeti came and hug Sameer tightly, "Sorry jiju.. ek galti ke baad hum dusri galti karne ja rahe the... I am sorry... mein bohot darr gayi thi.. humein vishwas hai ek dusre par lekin phir bhi hum situation ko handle nahin kar paaye..." he caressed on her hair and said, "hum hai tumhare saath... kabhi apne aap ko akela mat samajhna..." all had group hug and finally Samaina asked them to go and sit on other bench alone and talk.. they left silently and sit at some distance...

Sameer getting worried, "Naina yeh sab kaise handle karenge.. dekho humein abhi sabse chhupana padega yeh sab... at least jab tak inki shaadi nahin ho jaati..." Naina feels guilty for hiding this from family who trust them a lot, "Sameer bohot bura lag raha hai yeh sab chhupana... kitna vishwas hai sabka hum par... agar unhein kahin aur se pata chala toh kya jawaab denge..." he assured her, "kisi ko pata nahin chalega Naina.. tum hi bataao na, pehle hi Mummy aur Daadi inka rishta todne ki poori koshish kar rahi hai aur us par agar yeh sab pata chala toh... Naina mujhe Rohan se jyaada Preeti ke liye chinta ho rahi hai... Chachaji ki kya izzat rah jaayegi aur Taiji... socha hai kabhi kya hoga... unhein mauka mil jayega poore samaaj mein Chachaji ko beizzat karne ka.. aur agar baat phaili aur shaadi toot gayi toh Preeti ka kya hoga.. nahin Naina, humein yeh chhupana hi hoga in donon ke bhavishya ke liye... inke aane wale kal ke liye... haan agar tum chahogi toh inki shaadi ke baad hum bata denge, par tab tak nahin... wada karo kuchh bhi ho jaaye, yeh baat kisi se nahin kahogi aur inki shaadi kisi kimat par bhi nahin rukegi.. hum karwayenge inki shaadi..." they both hold their hands each other promising to assure the future of their little ones...

After some time Preeti and Rohan came back, at least bit relax but some awkwardness was still there... Rohan thanks to Naina, "thanks Bhabhi... aapne aaj humein samjha, hamara saath diya... hamare haalaton ko jaankar humein gunahgaar nahin samjha... mein jitna bhi aapka thanks bolun kam hoga... yeh ehsaan aapka hamesha mujh par udhaar rahega..."

Naina smiled a bit, "ehsaan nahin hai Rohan, par haan agar ho sake toh meri behen ka saath kabhi mat chhodna... jitni dikhne mein strong hai utani hi dil se najook hai... tumse bohot pyaar karti hai... mein janti hum tum bhi karte ho par aage se kabhi halaaton se bhagna mat, unka saamna karna..."

Sameer said, "achchha suno, dhyan rahe yeh baat kabhi bhi kisi ko bhi pata nahin chalani chahiye... na ghar mein na doston ko... kam se kam jab tak shaadi nahin ho jaati... mein Preeti ki izzat ke saath koi risk nahin le sakta..." he caressed on her head, "mera wada hai ki tumhari shaadi jald se jald karwane ki koshish karenge... bas tum himmat rakhna..." they all discussed for some more time and later they dropped girls at their home...
