Next morning, Sameer woke up early and went for jogging as his daily routine ... he came back and saw Naina was in backyard taking her therapy session... he went towards her and stands hiding behind the pillar staring his lady love... he heard Nanu's voice from inside so went to meet him.. Nanu shocked to see his wounded forehead and bandage, "yeh kya hua Sameer... tujhe chot kaise lagi... mujhe bataya kyun nahin... aur tu aaya kab... raat ko toh tum log Munna ke ghar rukne wale the na..."

Sameer hugged tightly to calm him, "sorry Nanu, voh mein kal raat ko hi aa gaya tha... aur ek chhota sa accident ho gaya tha hum teenon ka... vaise ab theek hain, kuchh jyaada nahin lagi.. please aap tension mat lo..." he parted while wiping his tears... "dhyaan rakha kar beta... tujhe kuchh hota hai toh meri jaan nikal jaati hai...."

Then only Pandit entered yawning, stretching his hands, "Good Morning Nanu..." he saw him also few scratches on his face with bandages and asked, "vaise kahaan masti ho rahi thi ki teenon ko chot lagi..." Pandit make some lame excuses and divert the topic... he went out with Nanu in garden to enjoy morning tea whereas Sameer again went back to see Naina...

Naina was doing exercise as suggested when Sunita said, "voh madam, aaj mujhe kuchh kaam hai toh mein jaldi chali jaaun... sorry thoda sa urgent tha.."

Naina nodded in yes, "koi baat nahin... aap jaaiye... mein akele kar lungi .." she left quickly after thanking her...

Sameer came to see her again when found Naina alone in garden.. she was on verge of crying due to pain and helplessness of not able to complete session without any help.... he rushed to her and sits next to her worriedly, "kya hua Naina... bohot dard ho raha hai kya... mein kuchh help karun...."

She looked down and burst into cry with pain and feeling so helpless, "mujhse nahin hoga Sameer, mein nahin kar paaungi... tum itna sab kar rahe ho mere liye, par mein.... mat karo itni mehanat, mujhe pata hai mein kabhi theek nahin ho paaungi... sab ki ummiden phir se toot jayengi..."

He took her in his arms and try to relax her, "koi baat nahin Naina... jitna hota hai theek hai... kaun sa ek hi din mein sab karna jaruri hai... yaad hai na doctor ne kaha tha ki thodi dikkat hogi shuru mein... dheere dheere hi sab theek hoga na... phir tum ne itane mahino se na koi dawai li aur na hi sessions continue karein... thoda waqt do, sab theek ho jayega.... aur mere hote huye tum aise haar nahin maan sakti, mein hun na tumhare saath, hamesha... agar aaj dard jyaada hai toh abhi rehne do aur chalo aaraam karo... mein tumhein aise takleef mein nahin dekh sakta..." he moved when she hold his hand...

"Sameer tumhein kaise yaad ki doctor ne kya kaha tha..." she looked at him with surprised expressions.... he too looked at her with blank face and said, "mujhe.. mujhe nahin pata... matlab pata nahin kaise achanak mere munh se nikal gaya... hum gaye the kya kabhi kisi doctor ke paas...."

He asked her when she reprimand herself on asking such question from him... she doesn't want to disturb him knowing his condition when suddenly he blurt out some past moments and in next minute forget it... she said to change the topic, "voh.. voh sab chhodo... maine toh bas aise hi puchh liya... please tum mujhe andar le chaloge..." he smiled and helped her to get up, with holding her tightly he drops her till her room...

After getting dress up, he went to Naina's room to call her for breakfast.. he knocked on the door when she called him inside, "Sameer, ek minute andar aaoge.." he went inside and saw her better now and smilingly asked "kucch kaam tha kya... agar kaho toh breakfast yahin le aaun..."

She shook her head and holding his hand gesture him to sit on chair... he followed like an obedient kid and sits without breaking his eye contact... he opened his mouth to ask when suddenly she keep her finger on his lips... "shh.. chup bilkul..." he gets lost in her when she realized and remove her finger getting shy...

She touched his forehead and slowly remove the bandage ... he winced in pain when she immediately blow off from her mouth on his wound to soothe his pain, she mouthed, "sorry...thoda dard hoga par mein dhyaan rakhungi... bandage bhi badalani hai na.... mujhe pata tha gili ho gayi hogi..."

He smiled and asked, "tumhein kaise pata tha ki geeli ho gayi hai..." she looked at him and laughed, "mujhe pata hai ki tum ne shower kiya hoga aur dhyaan hi nahin rakha hoga bandage ka... baalon se itna pyaar hai ki chot bhi bhool gaye... ek din nahin dhote toh kuchh ho jaata..." he stroke his hair from his fingers and smiled making cute face, "sorry maine toh dhyaan hi nahin diya... par tum ho na mera dhyan rakhne ke liye, toh mujhe chinta kyun hogi..."

She carefully clean his wound and spread ointment with her soft fingers, ensuring no more pains... after covering it with bandage, she smiled, "lo ho gayi... ab dard toh nahin hai na..." he shook his head and said huskily, "tum ne chhu liya toh saara dard chala gaya... Nanu sahi kehte hai tumahre haath mein na jaadu hai koi..." he hold her hand and kissed on her palm, "thanks Naina, hum sab ka itna dhyan rakhne ke liye... mein toh soch bhi nahin sakta agar tum na hoti toh mera aur Nanu ka kya hota... tumhein jitna bhi thanks bolu kam hai..." looking at him with surprise look she asked, "Sameer, aise kyun bol rahe ho... tum jaante ho na Nanu mere liye kya maayne rakhte hai, aur phir thanks kyun... mujhe aise kyun lag raha hai tum kuchh kehna chahte ho, par bol nahin pa rahe ho... please kuchh hai toh bataao na..."

He cupped her face in his palms, "tum hamesha se mere dil ki baat jaan leti ho na... par sach kahun, tumse kuchh chhupana nahin chahta, bas sahi waqt ka intzaar hai, aur voh jaldi aayega... bas tab tak mujhpar vishwas rakhna..." she smiled looking into his eyes, "tum par toh mujhe khud se bhi jyaada bharosa hai... pata hai tum mera yakeen kabhi nahin todoge..."

They lost in each other's eyes when Ramdhari knock on the door to call them for breakfast.... getting irritated he turned to him murmuring, "bhagwan ji iski timing itni kharaab kyun hai... hai toh hum pure vegetarian par pata nahin yeh haddi kahaan se khaane mein aa jaati hai har waqt..." she smiled listening him when Ramdhari left saying, "pata nahin yeh kya nayi bimari paal li hai... khud hi budbudate rehte hai... ab jor se nahin bolenge toh humein kaise pata chalega kya kehna chahte hai... humein thode hi na Bhabhi ki tarah inke dil ki baat samajh aati hai.... hey mere hanumanji inko jaldi se theek kar do varna yeh mujhe bimaar bana deng eek din..." he prayed to his god getting irritated on his weird behavior...

Sameer took her along with him to join Nanu and Pandit at breakfast table... Ramdhari serves to all when phone rings... Sameer went to pick-up the phone and talked for some time... lastly he said, "haan mein abhi aa raha hun Pandit ke saath..." he put the receiver down and said, "Pandit voh Munna ka phone tha.. usne ghar par bulaya hai...jaldi chal..." they finish their breakfast quickly and left out after bidding bye to Nanu and Naina...

Naina was still confused on his behavior, "Nanu aapko nahin lagta Sameer kuchh chhupa raha hai... kuchh toh hai uske dimaag mein.. aajkal kuchh ajeeb sa bartav karta hai... puchho toh kuchh batata hi nahin..."

Nanu too nodded, "haan beta, laga toh mujhe bhi tha... pehle socha uske Rahu Ketu se puchhu par pata hai mujhe, teenon kabhi ek dusre ke raaz kisi ko nahin batayenge... chal koi nahin, thode din ruk phir baat karta hun us se... par haan ek baat achchhi huyi hai, isake chehre ki voh muskaan vaapas aa gayi hai.... aur uski aankhon mein tujhe dekh kar vahi chamak dikhne lagi hai jo pehle dikhti thi... lagta hai jald hi sab theek ho jayega..." she feels shy and a wide smile spread on her face...

By afternoon time, Samundit reached office.... leaving them outside, Sameer went to his cabin and sits back holding his head in his hand... he went to Naina's desk and opened side drawer of her table and pulled out a photo... keeping it close to his heart, a lone tear drop from his eyes... he wipe it and kiss on the photo and keep it back in her drawer safely....

Pandit barge in his cabin, "Sameer voh aaj Munshi ji Baroda ki factory gaye huye hai toh shaam ki meeting humein hi handle karni hogi... aaj toh Naina bhi nahin hai..."

Sameer smiled listening her name, "haan yaar... kitne din ho gaye na voh office nahin aayi... man toh nahin manta par kya karun... therapy ki wajah se itna pain hai ki poora din ek kamre mein hi baithi rehti hai... bohot akela feel karti hogi aur mein bhi usake saath nahin rah pa raha.... ek baar yeh sab jhanjhat khatam ho jaaye tab dekhna ek pal ke liye bhi usse akela nahin chhodunga... bohot miss karta hun usse...."

Pandit keep his hand on his shoulder, "tu himmat mat haar.... dekhna kitin jaldi sab theek ho jaayega... vaise tu ne voh security guards ki baat ki thi, uska kya hua... achchha hua hum ne kal ke accident ka sach kisi ko nahin bataya varna sab ko chinta ho jaati... subah Nanaji bohot ghabra gaye the..."

Sameer said, "haan voh Nanu ke liye ho gaya hai arrangement... voh kahin bhi jayenge toh do guards unhein follow karenge for safety... watchman ko bhi warn kar diya hai maine jyaada dhyan dene ke liye.... Naina ke liye chinta nahin hai kyunki voh toh ghar par hi hai... maine usse strictly warn kiya hai ki kahin baahar nahin jaana, chahe kuchh bhi ho jaaye... aur pata hai pehredari par Ramdhari ko laga rakha hai... bechara itna darra hua hai mujhse ki puchh mat... usne toh Naina ka room se baahar aana bhi bandh kar rakha hai mere darr ki wajah se...." they both laughed and went back to their work... back to back so many meetings makes them fully occupied....

After a week passed, in evening he reached back home fully exhausted and tired .... he saw Nanu was sitting in hall reading some book... he went and sit next to him asking, "Hi Nanu... kaise ho aap..." he smiled looking at him and said, "meri chhod apni bata... bohot thaka hua lag raha hai.... lagta hai kaam kaafi jyaada hai aaj kal... roj ghar bhi aane mein der ho jaati hai tujhe...."

While resting his head on back of sofa he said, "haan Nanu... voh aajkal Naina bhi nahin aa rahi office aur do din se Munshi uncle bhi chhutti par the, unki tabiyat theek nahin hai toh bas isiliye... saara din factory aur meetings mein hi nikal gaya... jara sa bhi time nahin mila... launch ke baad se kaafi saare naye orders bhi mile hai toh isiliye kaam bohot bad gaya hai..."

Nanu looked at him surprisingly, "Naina... par voh toh office gayi thi na aaj... tu ne hi toh phone karwaya tha ki kuchh jaruri kaam hai, kisi urgent meeting ke liye bulaya tha usey..."

Sameer laughed, "kya Nanu aap bhi na... mein kyun bulaunga... mujhe pata hai uski tabiyat bhi theek nahin hai... itna pain hai ki..." suddenly something strike in his mind, he asked shockingly, "Nanu... Naina kahaan hai... kya sach mein voh baahar... matlab kyun, maine nahin bulaya tha usse... par maine mana bhi kiya tha ki ghar se baahar mat nikalana, phir kya jarurat thi kahin jaane ki..."

Nanu too panicked, "Sameer par us ne toh kaha ki office se kisi ka urgent phone aaya hai... isiliye Ramdhari ko bata kar chali gayi... mein nahin tha ghar par isiliye car bhi nahin thi, shayad auto se gayi hogi..."

Ramdhari too said while serving water to Sameer, "haan bhaiya... didi ne kaha tha ki aapne bulaya hai varna hum kahaan unhein kahin jaane dete... unhein gaye toh kareeb teen ghante ho gaye hai..."

Sameer hold his head tightly from his hand and tears keep rolling from his eyes... he murmured slowly, "Naina... jaan kahaan ho tum... sab meri laaparwahi hai, mujhe tumhein batana chahiye tha..." Nanu too get panicked thinking about her missing, who can do this with her....

Sameer immediately called Munna Pandit and informed about Naina missing.... they assure him to come soon there...
