They all reached at the picnic venue and girls helped Ramdhari to place the picnic mats to sit and relax keeping all eatable which they bring with them... all homemade... all rested their whereas gents laid down to stretch himself after long and tiring journey... ladies starts serving food to all...

All youngsters sit together, enjoying food feeding to each other... after food elders stays there prefers to rest... Deepika & Pralay slept getting tired too... our super 8 planned to explore the place and left to have a round of garden which is surrounded by a small hill from one side... there was also a small lake crossing the hill... they roam around for some time and decided to go separately with their partners and spend some lonely time... without disturbing each other...

Sameer Naina walked towards the hill and sit there... Naina keeping her head on his shoulder, exclaimed happily, "Sameer kitne achchhe se sab pooja ho gayi na... Chachiji bhi bohot khush hai... unhein bohot baichani ho rahi thi jab se Taiji ne voh sab kaha tha..." he hold her hand, "ab kuchh galat nahin hoga... hum saath hai aur hamesha rahenge..." he kissed on her hand keeping it close to his heart...

He slightly move his head towards her head and said, "tum abhi bhi roj sindoor lagati ho na... kisi ne dekha nahin kabhi..." she feels shy saying, "nahin voh mein andar ki taraf lagati hun voh bhi bohot thoda sa... kisi ko dikhega kaise..." he kissed on her head and said, "Naina tum mein bohot himmat hai jo itna sab handle kar paati ho... mein toh akele kuchh nahin sambhal pata... tumne kitne pyaar se poora gahr sambhal rakha tha... jab se tum ghar se gayi ho, ghar suna suna sa lagne laga hai... har kone mein jaise tumhari khushbu, tumhari yaadein basi hai... bas ab jaldi se vaapas apne ghar aa jaao, phir kahin nahin jaane dunga tumhein apne se dur..."

He shifted close to her, "pata hai jab mein accident ke baad hospital se vaapas aaya tha toh mujhe apne kamre mein bhi tumhare hone ka ehsaas hota tha.. lagta tha jaise koi mera bohot apna sa mere aas paas ho... jis bhi cheez ko chhuta tha toh lagta tha jaise kuchh purani baat yaad dila raha ho...... ek alag si khushbu, ehsaas hota tha jisse meri saari baicheni, saara dard pal bhar mein mit jaata tha... baad mein samajh aaya ki yeh sab toh tumhara ehsaas tha...."

She smiled, "hoga kyun nahin... tumhare jaane ke baad mein vahin tumhare kamre mein hi toh rahi hun teen mahine.... voh toh jab tum vaapas aaye toh mein guest room mein shift ho gayi thi taaki tum koi sawaal na kar sako... tumhein pata hai jab tum nahin the yahaan toh roj mere sapne mein aate the, mujhse baatein karte the, mujhe tasalli dete the... itni himmat mujhe bhi tumse hi milti thi jiske sahare maine itna waqt gujara, sab handle kiya..." her eyes brimmed with tears recalling her dreadful days....

He wiped her tears and said, "sach kahun toh mein dil se mehsoos karna chahta hun... tumhara har ek dard, mere bina bitaye voh har ek pal ko jismein tumne mujhe yaad kiya, mera naam liya ho... kitni takleef huyi hogi na tumhein... mein aaj tak shayad utni khushi nahin de paaya tumhein jitna dard de diya... aur usse bhi jyaada dard toh maine vaapas aane ke baad diya tha... mein saari zindagi bhi maafi maangu toh kam hoga uske liye..."

She wiped his tears keeping her hand on his cheek, "maafi ki toh baat hi nahin jab yeh sab tumse anjaane mein hua tha.. aur ab mein voh sab bhool kar apni aane wali zindagi ke baare mein sochna chahti hun... mujhe nahin yaad karne voh dard wale din ab aur... ab tum ho na mere paas toh mujhe kuchh aur nahin chahiye... kitni mushkilon ke baad hamari khushiyaan vaapas aayi hai toh ab humein sab kuchh bhool kar unka swagat karna chahiye... aaj dekho saara pariwaar ek saath kitna enjoy kar raha hai... yeh voh sapna hai jiske poora hone ki ummid chhod di thi humne, par hamare pyar se usey bhi sach kar diya..."

He hugged her tightly when she said slowly, "voh... voh Sameer tumse kuchh kehna tha..." without breaking his hug he said firmly, "koi jarurat nahin hai uss baare mein sochne ki bhi... samjhi tum..."

She parted and looked him surprisingly, "tumhein kaise pata mein kya kehna chahti hun.." he scrunched her nose smilingly, "tumhein na mein tumse jyaada jaanta hun... mujhe pata hai tum Mummy ki baat karna chahti ho na mujhse..." she looked at him with a pleading eyes, "please na Sameer... please ek baar koshish toh karo... dekho sab theek ho gaya hai toh yeh gussa ab chhod do na... itni si baat nahin maanoge meri..."

He said in painful voice, "Naina yeh dard sirf aaj ka nahin hai... bachpan se maine jab bhi unse koi ummid ki hai, unhone usse toda hi hai... ab bas mein koi ummid karna hi nahin chahta unse... jab itni zindagi guzar gayi unke pyaar ke bina toh baaki bhi guzar jayegi... aur phir mere paas tum ho, Nanu hai, Rohan Preeti Deepika aur Papaji bhi hai... mujhe aur kuchh nahin chahiye ab... aur tum bhi yeh sab sochna chhod do... apna man dukhi karne ki koi jarurat nahin hai kisike liye bhi..." she puffed her face showing fake anger and turned to other side....

He turned her back towards him again, "aise naatak karna tumhare bas ki baat nahin hai toh please koshish bhi mat karo... yeh sab chalaki tumse nahin hogi aur mein aise tumhari bholi surat dekh kar nahin pighalne wala... samjhi tum..." she hugged him thinking, "mana kar toh mein rahungi tumhein... dekhte hai kab tak sachchai se bhagoge tum... mujhe pata hai dil se kitna tadapte ho tum Maa ke pyaar ke liye aur mere rehte tumhara dil dukhi ho yeh mein kaise hone de sakti hun... lagta hai iss baar tedi ungli mujhe hi karni padegi..." she smiled naughtily kissing on his cheeks...

Soon others joined them and they all decided to go to see lake on other side of the hill... Sameer looked at Naina who assures she is fine now and they all moved to that side.. in near half an hour they all reached there while chatting as after long time they all are out for a picnic together... they all sit there to take some rest when boys decided to play football carried by them.. soon Swati and Preeti too joined them, leaving Priya and Naina sitting there, enjoying watching them...

Suddenly Naina felt someone's gaze on her and turned but no one was there.. she roamed her eyes to that direction when Priya patted on her shoulder asking, "kya hua Naina, kahaan dekh rahi hai..."

Naina said nervously, "voh.. voh mujhe laga vahaan koi hai... koi humein dekh raha tha.." she pointed towards their left side towards the trees... Priya too see there but no one was there, "shayad tera waham hoga... chal chhod na... vaise bhi yeh jagah thodi sunsaan si hai, yahaan kaun aayega..." they turned their gaze and starts seeing their group playing there when Naina suddenly get the same feel... she again turned but still no one was there...

Soon all joined them sweating and panting heavily when Sameer looked at her pale face, "kya hua Naina... tum theek ho... yahaan garmi bohot hai na... tumhein chakkar toh nahin aa rahe phir se..." she doesn't want to bother him as she herself was not clear on his doubts... she said, "haan... mein theek hun, mujhe kya hua hai... hum chale vaapas, sab dhundh rahe honge humein..." all agreed and move ahead when Sameer hold her hand to support her... she again felt the same and trembled in fear when he looked at her shockingly, "kya hua Naina... kuchh pareshaani hai kya... tum thak gayi na... maine pehle hi kaha tha tumko ki yahaan nahin aate par tum manati nahin ho..."

She kept her finger on his mouth to quiet him, "kitna bolte ho tum... mein toh enjoy kar rahi thi tumhara game dekh kar.. mujhe nahin pata tha ki mera cricketer football bhi itni achchhi khelta hai..." he leaned close to her, "abhi toh aur bhi bohot saare games baaki hai... dheere dheere saare dikha dunga... aakhir tumhare saath hi toh khelne hai... tum chinta mat karo..." she could feel his hot breath on her face.. she tried to hide the blush but her erratic heartbeat gone to another level....

He whispered huskily, "Naina, ek toh itni mushkil se khud ro rok rakha hai, aur ab tum itne pyaar se dekhogi toh mujhse control nahin hoga... phir mat kehna ki shaadi se pehle and all ... itna tadpaogi toh mein aur dus din ka intzaar nahin karne wala... soch lo... aj hi seedha apne saath ghr le jaaunga..." she shivered seeing his intense gaze and husky voice... seeing his effect on her he gave a lopsided smile and stepped back when Munna came back panting heavily, "bhai tum donon ko yahin rehna hai kya... ab chalo bhi sab tumhara hi intzaar kar rahe hai..."

They both looked down shyly and starts moving when Munna keeping his hand on his waist said, "bhai tujhe na ek minute ke liye bhi akela chhodna khatarnaak ho gaya hai... hum sab vahaan pahunch bhi gaye aur mein vaapas bhi aa gaya tumhein lene aur tum donon vahin ke vahin khade ho... hadd karte ho... ab saath lekar hi jaaunga varna phir atak jayenge..." getting a smack on his head from Sameer he keep blabbering and they all join back the group getting lots of teasing...

They all boarded the bus and settled as before... the moment bus starts Pandit said loudly, "kyun na kuchh maje kare yaar... bohot bore ho raha hai...let's play antakshari..." all agreed when Naina said, "kyun na baaki sab ko bhi bula le... sab saath khelenge toh jyaada maja aayega..." saying this before Sameer stops her she called to Nanu loudly, "Nanu aap sab bhi aaiye na... sab saath mein masti karenge..." all decided and made groups familywise sulking Sameer as now he has to leave her side...

Rohan pulled him towards him, "aa ja bhai... aaj Somani aur Maheshwari milkar Aggarwal's ko harayenge... dekhe kitni der tikate hai yeh hamare saamne..." while Deepika refused to join then saying, "mein aajkal Naina bhabhi ke ghar mein rah rahi hun toh mein bhi unki team mein hi hun... aakhir hum hi jeetenge..."

Munna and Pandit make separate groups with their parents and spouse when Sameer said irritatingly, "toh Naina aur Preeti bhi toh hamari taraf aayengi... Preeti Somani hai aur Naina bhi Maheshwari hai..." all laughed to tease him when Nanu said, "beta itna bhi utaawla mat ho... Naina abhi aadhi Maheshwari hai.. sirf sagai huyi hai, shaadi abhi baaki hai... aur Preeti ko apni behen ke saath hi rehne de..." having no chance, he nodded half-heartedly as can't disclose the secret of their wedding...

They all started playing when in excitement Rohan & Sameer keep talking to Vishakha in suggesting songs to defeat others... they played like a team forgetting all their angers and differences... Naina 'smiled seeing this which gets noticed by Nanu and Vishakha... she smiled as a gesture of saying thanks to Naina which in turn she smiled back... unnoticed by Sameer and Rohan... but finally game win by Aggarwal's... girls always rock...

After getting tired, they all settled back on their seats when Naina keeping her head on Sameer's shoulder said, "kitna maja aaya na sabke saath... aur Maa ko toh kitne gaane aate hai na, mujhe toh laga hi nahin tha ki unhein hindi songs bhi itane pasand honge... unki choice bhi kitni achchhi hai"

Sameer too said excitedly, "haan Nanu bhi batate the ki bachpan mein Mummy bhi bohot achchha gaati thi... shayad yeh gaane ki aadat mujhe unse hi mili hai aur shayad meri awaaj bhi unke jaisi hi hai..." he said in a flow of emotions...

She entwined her fingers with his and said, "har Maa Baap apne bachchon ko virasat mein kuchh na kuchh dete hai, kuchh apni aadaten, toh kuchh zameen jaaydad... par kya kabhi hum bachche unhein kuchh de payenge... humse toh ek maafi tak nahin di jaati... sahi kaha na maine..." she lift her face to look at his face... he looked into her eyes, soon tears brimmed in both their eyes.. she wiped his tears and keep her hand on his chest, "soch ke dekhna Sameer, kya sach mein bohot mushkil hai... mujhe pata hai tum koshish karoge toh jarur kar paaoge... mere Sameer ke dil mein kabhi kisi ke liye itni nafarat nahin rah sakti kyunki vahaan sirf aur sirf pyaar hai..." she snuggled more into his chest hugging him tightly... he too pulled her more close to her heart without saying anything....

Reaching at Agarwal house, Naina stood to left when Sameer hold her hand, "tum mujhe mana kar hi manogi na..." she smiled naughtily and nodded her head cutely, "haan... aur yeh sab tumse hi toh seekha hai... emotional blackmailing..." winking back to him she left with Preeti and others leaving Sameer lost in his thoughts...

They reached home late night after dropping all families to their home... all gets down when Vishakha was getting down lastly from bus carrying the empty food basket...

Sameer took it from her hand and said softly, "aap thak gayi hongi... aaraam kijiye, yeh sab mein aur Rohan le aayenge andar...." he moved to Ramdhari giving all stuff one by one to take inside... Vishakha looked at him with damped eyes and left for her room wiping her tears... Nanu and Vivek looking all this from far smiling too...
