Next few days went well with close bonding between Samaina... Sameer starts spending more time with her and Munna Pandit... Nanu was happy seeing the change behavior from his side... he was more concern and caring for Nanu and Naina like his earlier days...

After few days, Sameer woke up very early and after getting ready, he knocked on Naina's door... she opened the door and smiled seeing him there, "Morning Sameer... tum yahaan subah subah... kuchh kaam tha kya... coffee chahiye" he replied smilingly, "nahin coffee nahin... voh haan... tum ek kaam karo, jaldi se uppar terrace par aa jao... mein tumhara wait kar raha hun vahaan.." saying this he rushed to terrace before she asked anything...

After getting freshen up, she went to terrace where Sameer was standing with a lady in her mid of thirties... he introduced her, "Naina yeh hai tumhari personal physiotherapist.. aaj se roj yeh yahaan aayengi subah therapy ke liye... maine sab intzaam ghar par hi karwa diya hai yahin, tumhein koi pareshaani nahin hogi..." before she asked anything he went down leaving her with the lady surprisingly...

Lady greets her, "Madam mera naam Sunita hai, toh chaliye hum shuru karte hai... vaise bhi aapne kuchh din ke baad session continue nahin kiya... ab sab kuchh dobara se karna padega... iss baar hum thode alag tarah se shuru karenge.... shuru mein ho sakta hai thodi jyaada takleef ho par isse jaldi aaraam bhi milega...." she helped her and they do some exercises but seeing her in extreme pain she wind-up the session early...

She left saying, "ab aap aaraam kariye... mein kal phir aaungi... thoda dard hoga par koi baat nahin..." she left when Sameer came upstairs... seeing her in pain is always be his weakness but he has to remain strong for her... he came and sits beside her, "sorry voh achanak sab plan kiya... kal raat ko batane wala tha phir bhool gaya... par ek baat bataao, tum ne beech mein kyun chhoda.. pata hai tumhari wajah se kitna daanta hai doctor ne mujhe..."

She looked him surprisingly when he continued, "ab aise mat dekho... voh kal shaam ko tumhare therapy center se kisika phone aaya tha... mujhe kuchh nahin pata tha par unhone bataya ki tumne kisi operation ke liye therapy shuru ki thi phir achanak se bandh kar di.... itna bada lecture sunane ko mila mujhe ki puchho mat... tum sabka dhynaa rakhti ho par apna nahin rakha jaata na..."

She holds her ear and mouthed, "Sorry"... he lowered her hand and said, "koi baat nahin par please ab aur laaparwahi nahin chalegi.... varna tum jaanti ho na mera gussa... phir se daant nahin khaani toh aaj se no excuse.. aur haan ab kuchh din ke liye tum office nahin jaaogi... sirf aaraam karogi... kuchh bhi jaruri kaam hoga toh hum ghar se hi kar lenge...." she agreed as herself she knew that after therapy it's difficult for her even to walk, going to office is far difficult for her... they talked when Ramdhari bring fresh juice for them...

She trembled and flinch in pain taking first step when he lifts her in his arms... "Naina, bohot jyaada dard ho raha hai kya... sorry maine dhyan nahin diya... kal se mein saara intzaam niche garden mein hi karwa dunga... tumhein uppar aane ki bhi jarurat nahin hai..." he took her in room and left asking her to rest here only...

Being in severe pain, she took the medicine and laid down... he came back after some time getting breakfast for her... she smiled weakly, "arey tum kyun le aaye... mein baahar hi aa jaati na.." he smiled and place the tray on table beside her bed, "jee nahin... tum kahin nahin jaaogi... tumhein hilna bhi allowed nahin hai, samjhi... tum khud se toh nahin bologi par mujhe pata hai kitna pain ho raha hoga... tumhari shakal se pata chal raha hai... ek baat bataao, kya pehle bhi aisa hi hota tha" she nodded her head saying, "par koi baat nahin, thode din mein nahin hoga..."

Sameer feels bad seeing her in so much pain but agreed reluctantly, having no other option... soon Nanu too came inside her room, they all enjoyed their breakfast together... after breakfast he left for office after giving instructions to Ramdhari, "dhyaan rakhna apni didi ka... khabardaar jo usse hilne bhi diya toh... agar mujhe pata chala na toh teri khair nahin...." he warned him and left for office leaving Nanu laughed on poor Ramdhari...

In office, he saw Munna Pandit already waiting for him in his cabin... they asked for Naina when he informed them about her therapy session, "nahin ab voh kuchh din nahin aayegi... agar kuchh jaruri hua toh ghar se hi manage kar legi... usse rest ki jarurat hai..." he asked, "voh Munna jo accounts ki files maine kahi thi voh aa gayi..."

Munna forward him some files and said, "par bhaai, yeh sab hamari samajh ke baahar hai thoda... kisi expert se salaah leni padegi... Naina hoti toh sambhal leti..." he think for some time and said, "koi nahin... mujhe pata hai kya karna hai... bas tum donon apna dhyaan rakhna aur haan jaisa maine kaha hai kisi ko pata nahin chalna chahiye iss baare mein... achchha mujhe kisi se milna hai, mein baad mein milta hun tumse..." saying this he collect all files and leaving from office when saw an envelope in Munna's hand....

Out of curiosity he asked when Munna replied casually, "voh Bhai... achchha hua tu ne puchh liya... mein toh bhool hi gaya tha.. yeh Nanaji ko de dena, unhone hi mangwaya tha..." saying this he handed the envelope to Sameer...

Sameer opened it and saw a photo of young handsome boy in mid of his twenty's... he looked surprisingly and asked, "yaar Naukri ke liye toh log Bio-data bhejte hai na... toh yeh photo kyun bheja hai... bada ajeeb hai..."

Pandit laughed and said, "abey gadhe yeh Naukri ke liye nahin chhokri ke liye aaya hai... voh Nanaji ko badi chinta ho rahi thi toh maine aur Munna ne milkar yeh rishta dhundha hai..."

Sameer asked surprisingly, "rishta?... voh kis liye.. mein kuchh samjha nahin..."

Munna suppressing his laugh, "arey yaar, rishta kis liye dhundhate hai... bewkoof ab meri aur Pandit ki shaadi toh ho chuki hai aur tu shaadi pakka kisi ladki se hi karega... toh ladke ka rishta toh ladki ke liye hi aayega na..."

Pandit keeping his hand on his shoulder form other side said, "aur ab hum sabke beech toh sirf ek hi ladki hai na jiske liye rishta dhundhna hai... Nanaji ki laadli Naina... matlab teri Naina.." he said stressing more on last words...

Sameer fumbled but shouts loudly, "dimaag kharaab hai tumhara... aise kaise uske liye rishta le aaye... voh.. voh shaadi kaise kar sakti hai..."

Munna came to him, "kyun bhai, kyun nahin kar sakti... achchhi khaasi ladki hai, padi likhi state level topper, best writer ka award mil chuka hai... aur business bhi chala leti hai..."

Pandit too said, "aur khaana bhi kitna achchha banati hai... dikhne mein bhi cute, simple but beautiful.. aur sabse badi baat uska nature.. ek dum shaant, saral... ab kisi ladke ko aur kya chahiye isse jyaada... khushkismat hoga voh jiski kismat mein Naina jaisi ladki hogi... kyun hai na Munna.." Munna too agreed with him making Sameer more annoyed...

Sameer said nervously, "haan... haan matlab theek hai... voh hai perfect.... par aise kaise shaadi... matlab... haan aur phir office ka kaam kaun karega... aur Nanu... voh Nanu ke bina nahin rah sakti.... unse bohot pyaar karti hai na... ab shaadi hogi toh usey hamara ghar chhod kar jaana padega... toh yeh plan cancel kar dete hai... tum.. tum yeh photo faad do... koi shaadi nahin hogi.... haan..." saying this he immediately crushed the photo and throw it in dustbin and smiled in relieved taking deep sigh...

Munna shouts, "tu paagal hai kya... photo kyun phenk di... arey humne ladke se baat kar li thi... usse iske office mein kaam karne se aur Nanu se roj milne se koi problem nahin hai..." he smirks looking at him, "ab itna achchha ladka ghar baithe mil raha hai aur tu taang ada raha hai... yeh toh galat baat hai na...."

Sameer glared them and said angrily, "ghar mein dhang se dhundha hota toh baahar nahin jaana padta ladka dekhne... tumhein sharam nahin aati... matlab apne hi dost ka ghar jala kar haath senkoge... tumhein iss ladke mein aisa kya dikha jo mujh mein nahin... maine socha tha ki meri madad karoge par nahin, yeh toh mera ghar basne se pehle hi ujaad denge..."

Munna making innocent face asked, "kya matlab tera ghar... tujhe kahaan Naina itni pasand hai.. tu toh hamesha usse daanta tha na pehle... voh toh sirf teri dost hai na.... aur agar pasand hoti toh ab tak propose nahin kar diya hota... maine to kaha bhi tha tujhse par tu maana hi nahin... ab zindagi bhar baithi thodi na rahegi kisi ke intzaar mein... aur phir Nanu ka soch, kam se kam unke ek bachche ka ghar toh bas jaaye... tera kya hai tu toh le aayega koi Sunaina types hi-fi modern ladki..."

Pandit said adding more fuel, "arey Munna tu bhi na paagal hai... Sameer koi Naina ko pyaar thode hi karta hai jo usey shaadi ke liye propose karega... pasand aur dosti alag baat hai par shaadi ke liye toh pyaar hona chahiye na... chal koi nahin hum dusra ladka dhungh lenge... ab itni achchhi ladki ke liye rishton ki koi kami thodi hi hogi..."

Sameer finally took a deep breath controlling his anger... holding their hands he make them sit on chair and himself sits in front of them pulling another chair, "ab tum donon dhyan se suno aur dekho... yeh... yeh jo ladka tumhare saamne baitha hai... tumhara sabse achchha dost, Nanu ka laadla, dikhne mein handsome, charming aur aur sabse badi baat, Naina ka bhi dost hai... toh tumhari aankhen aur dimaag kharaab hai kya jo usake liye ladka baahar dekhne gaye the... matlab ek baar mere baare mein nahin socha tumne..."

Pandit to tease him more, "dekh bhai mein samajhta hun ki tujhe roj Naina ke haath ki coffee aur khaana bohot yaad aayega, par tu hi soch iske liye kisi ladki ki shaadi rok de... nahin yeh toh galat hoga na..."

Munna, "haan aur office ke kaam ke liye koi ladki zindagi bhar shaadi na kare, yeh bhi galat hoga na..."

Sameer clutch his hair tightly and gritted his teeth in anger... finally he shouts, "bas.. chup .. ek dam chup.. tumhein lagta hai mein coffee, khaane ya office ke kaam ke liye Naina ki shaadi nahin hone dena chahta... idiot, gadhe, ullu, nalayak... saaf saaf sun lo agar phir kisi ka rishta laaye Naina ke liye toh mein tumhari taang tod dunga..."

Munna asked cutely, "toh kya Naina zindagi bhar akeli rahegi..."

Sameer smiled finally and said, "mein hoon na... mein rahunga na uske saath... zindagi bhar... kyunki mein usse bohot pyaar karne laga hun... usey dekhe bina meri subah nahin hoti aur uske bina toh lagta hai jaise saans bhi nahin le paaunga... aisa lagta hai mein vaapas hi sirf usake liye aaya hun... uski ek muskurahat mere saare dard bhula deti hai... meri aankhen har pal sirf aur sirf usse dhundhati hai... usaki aankh ka ek aansu mujhe paagal kar deta hai.. man karta hai usse apni baahon mein kas ke chhupa lun taaki koi dard, koi takleef usake aas paas bhi na aa paaye... I really really love her soooo much.." he said all lost in her...

His chain of thought break with a loud shout from his besties who hug him tightly saying, "kya baat hai yaar... hum toh kab se tujhse sunana chahte the ki tujhe Naina se pyaar ho gaya hai..." all laughed loudly when Pandit said, "bekaar mein hi itna time laga diya... pehle bata deta toh yeh naatak toh na karna padta tujhse sach sunane ke liye....."

Sameer parted from them and sits back on chair with a serious face, "par yaar tumhein lagta hai Naina mujhse pyaar karegi... matlab maine dekha hai voh mere saath khush rehti hai par shayad sirf ek dost ki tarah... aur mujhe toh apna past bhi theek se yaad nahin... issi wajah se kabhi kabhi sab kuchh bohot ajeeb sa ho jaata hai, jaise uss din mein Sunaina ko ghar le aaya tha... pata nahin ek darr sa lagta hai ki kahin uska dil na dukkha dun anjaane mein...."

Munna assuring him, "tu paagal hai kya.. tujhe dikhta nahin Naina ki aankhon mein tere liye kitna pyaar hai... dekh tu yeh sab purani baatein chhod aur naye sire se apni zindagi usake saath shuru kar.. tum donon jab saath hote ho toh ek dam perfect lagte ho.. jaise Made for each other..."

Pandit too said, "aur kya... yeh majaak alag hai par sach kahun toh Naina ko tere se jyada khush koi aur rakh hi nahin sakta... aur tere chehre par toh saaf saaf likha hai ki tu kitna pyaar karta hai Naina se... bas ab yeh sab chhod aur jaldi se usey apne dil ki baat bata de.. dekhna kaise dhoom dhaam se tum donon ki shaadi karwayenge..."

Munna said, "aur kya... aur Nanu ka soch... voh toh khush ho jayenge jab unhein yeh pata chalega... unki toh jaan basti hai tum donon mein... unka toh kab se armaan hai ki tum donon ek ho jaao..."

Sameer smiled widely and said, "toh theek hai.. mein jaldi hi Naina ko apne dil ki baat bata dunga, par waada karo tab tak tum donon apna munh bandh rakhoge... kisi se bhi kuchh nahin kahoge aur haan Nanu se bhi nahin... pehle yeh sab jo problems hai unhein suljha le phir sahi time par usey apne dil ki baat bataunga..."

Munna smiled scratching his head, "yaar voh toh mushkil hai kyunki tujhse sach bulwane ka yeh idea toh Nanaji ka hi tha... par pakka baaki kisi aur ko nahin batayenge.."

Sameer hit his palm on his forehead, "hey bhagwan.... kya Nanu diye hai... itna khatarnaak idea, aise kaun karta hai yaar... ek din bachche ki jaan lekar rahenge yeh pakka...." they all laughed and planned how to propose but promise to keep it secret from girls till then...

Later Sameer left from office taking files... Munna also left for some urgent work given by Sameer but Pandit stays back in office... he has to manage all works with Munshiji in absence of Sameer and Naina...

Sameer reached back home earlier than his schedule and after meeting with Nanu he went to her room... she was sitting on her study table and busy in writing her article... he smiled seeing her so engrossed that didn't even realize his presence around.... he took slow step and stood behind her... "bhoo" he shouts loudly near her ear... she shivered badly in fear whereas he was laughing loudly seeing her scared face...

Naina after relaxing her uneven heartbeat, hit him on his hand, "kitne bure ho tum... aise kaun karta hai... kitna darr gayi thi mein..." he stops laughing and pull a chair to sit beside her... he asked, "pehle yeh bataao ab dard kaisa hai... aur haan jhuth toh bolna mat mujhse bilkul bhi..."

She smiled and said, "nahin Sameer, mein kabhi tum se jhuth nahin bolti... sachchi" she pinched on below her chin like a cute baby with wide eyes... he laughed, "haan haan pata hai mujhe... jhuth nahin bolti par sach chhupana aata hai achchhi tarah se... hai na..." he looked intensely in her eyes making her shuddered...

She looked him surprisingly when he changed the topic, "achchha voh sab chhodo pehle yeh kuchh files dekho... mein office se laaya hun... tum se kuchh discuss karna tha..." she took the files from his hand and shocked seeing it, she said nervously, "yeh.. yeh tumhein kahaan se mili.. matlab.. tumhein kya jarurat thi yeh sab dekhne ki..."

He asked with stern face, "matlab tumhein sab pata tha... toh mujhe kyun nahin bataya...." she lowered her head, "voh Sameer... mein tum se chhupana nahin chahti thi par tumhari tabiyat theek nahin thi, doctor ne stress dene se mana kiya tha aur yeh sab toh mein tumhare vaapas aane se pehle hi handle kar chuki thi toh socha kyun tumhein pareshaan karun... phir Nanu ko bhi jyaada nahin pata varna unhein bhi tension hoti..."

He took the file from her hand and keep it back on table... "Naina... tum ne mere aur Nanu ke bina sab kuchh itne achchhe se handle kiya uske liye thanks... par ab mein hun na yahaan, toh tum mujhse sab kuchh share kar sakti ho... samjhi... ab bataao yeh sab kya hai aur tumhein kaise pata chala..."

She nodded in yes and said taking a deep breathe, "voh Sameer jab maine office join kiya toh ek din bas accounts ki files study kar rahi thi... maine dekha ki Baroda ki factory ke accounts mein bohot jyaada gadbad thi... matlab kisi bhi kharche ka hisaab theek se nahin rakha ja raha tha... pehle socha Nanu se baat karun par doctor ne unhein stress dene se mana kiya tha isiliye maine Munshiji ko kuchh din ke liye vahaan bheja inspection ke liye, bina kisi ko bataye..... unhone aakar bataya ki vahaan sab kuchh bilkul unorganized hai.... infact kuchh workers jo kai saalone se Nanu ke wafadaar the, un ko toh salary bhi time se nahin mili isiliye voh chhod kar chale gaye... aakhir unhein apna ghar bhi toh chalana tha... aur nayi machineries jinke liye ek bohot bada amount withdraw kiya gaya tha unko abhi tak plant nahin kiya gaya... bas purani machines ko hi repair kar ke kaam chal raha tha... aur repair cost bhi bohot jyaada dikhayi gayi thi... bohot saare suppliers ki payment bhi pending thi jisse factory ka aur Nanu ka naam kharaab ho raha tha..."

She paused and continue, "Sameer vahaan ki factory tumhare Mamaji sambhalte hai... tumhare accident ke baad kuchh personal differences ki wajah se Nanu ne sabse baat cheet bandh kar di thi par voh phir bhi vahaan ke incharge the... kyunki Nanu factory nahin aa jaa rahe the toh unhone shayad apni manmaani shuru kar di thi... mein seedhe agar kuchh kehti toh rishton mein aur daraar aa jati bas isiliye maine Baroda ka saara finance yahaan apne control mein le liya aur Munshiji ko uska incharge bana diya.. ab vahaan har kaam Munshi uncle ki permission se hi hota hai, jiski har khabar voh mujhe dete hai... humne saare purane workers ko unki pending salary dekar vaapas bula liya aur suppliers ki payment bhi with interest clear ki.... taaki koi Nanu ke naam par ungli na utha sake...."

Sameer asked tensely, "tum ne kabhi Mamaji se baat nahin ki, un se puchha nahin in sab ke baare mein..." She lowered her head, "nahin.. voh vaise bhi mujh se naraaz the, baat tak nahin karte phir yeh sab puchhti toh rishtey aur kharaab ho jaate... bas mujhe laga Munshiji ke jariye mein koshish karke sab control kar paau... mein nahin chahti thi ki Nanu ka naam kharaab ho, unki itne saalon ki izzat mein koi kami aaye..."

He sighed heavily and hold her hand, "koi baat nahin... chhodo yeh sab.. ab mein hun na tumhare saath... but promise me agar aisa kuchh hua aage toh tum mujhe sabse pehle bataogi... dekho aisa nahin ki mujhe tum par trust nahin par tum nahin jaanti un logon ko... bas mein chahta hun ki tum aur Nanu safe raho, khush raho..." she smiled seeing his concern and how efficiently he has taken over all responsibility on him...

After normal office talks further, he asked, "vaise tum ne bataya nahin ki ab dard kaisa hai.. feeling better?... she smiled, "better hai par subah se bohot bore ho gayi hun iss kamre mein baithe baithe... tumhare darr se Ramdhari bhaiya ne mujhe kamre se baahar tak nahin aane diya... lunch bhi yahin room mein laakar de diya... kitna darra rakha hai tum ne unko..." they both laughed when he took her out in garden for fresh air, "chalo baahar baithate hai.. mausam bhi achchha hai aaj... baahar baithenge toh you will feel better and relaxed" he holds her firmly from shoulder to support and came out in garden...

Soon Nanu too joined them and spent some good fun family time with each other. Then next few days Sameer ensured Naina should be at home taking full rest... he took full charge of factory in his hands and gets busy but always ensure to spend quality time with Nanu and Naina... even evening outings with gang were more enjoying...

After few days, Munna's peaceful sleep disturbed by a very early morning call.. he picked up phone and replied in half sleepy tone, "hello kaun.." Sameer said hurriedly, "Munna mein... Sameer... bohot badi gadbad ho gayi hai yaar... mujhe abhi milna hai tum donon se..."

Munna sits back on bed and pick up the table clock lying next to his bed... seeing its 4:10 a.m. he gets more worried and asked, "kyun.. kya hua... tu, Nanu aur Naina toh theek ho na... itni subah achanak kaise phone kiya..."

Sameer said, "voh sab chhod aur jaldi se pandit ko lekar office aa ja.. mein abhi pahunch raha hoon... yaar bohot tension ho rahi hai, kuchh smajh nahin aa raha mujhe..." he disconnects the call and left to gets ready leaving Munna tensed for him... Munna immediately gets ready after informing Pandit also to reach office soon....
