Few days went very hectic indulge them all workload... Sameer starts enjoying her company more and never leave any chance to spend time with her in alone, be it for office work only... he starts having a different feeling, a close bonding with her in his heart...

It becomes their daily routing to go office together and coming back... even sometimes, while coming late from office getting fully tired, they spend some time at Law garden, enjoying her favorite chat or ice-cream. He always makes sure to spend some time alone in night with her before going to bed that too with Coffee from Sameer.... he always took her advice and admire her decision skills and business acumen in taking any crucial decision at workplace... they weren't stranger with each other anymore...

He starts taking care of even for a smallest thing which makes her smile, be it forcing her to have lunch in between loads of work or dinner together, or evening coffee, he always preferred to be with her... also now more keen to teach her computers... Nanu & Mundit were glad to see him caring her... but still hesitates to propose her...

Early morning when Sameer came out from his room, he saw Naina was leaving early with Nanu... he called them, "Nanu, aap donon itni jaldi kahaan ja rahe ho... Naina toh mere saath office jaati hai na..." he smiled saying, "beta hum office nahin, mandir ja rahe hai... bohot din se gaya nahin toh socha aaj chala jaaun Naina ke saath... mein isse mandir ke baad office chhod dunga, tu chinta mat kar..." they turned to leave when he again stops them with a grumpy face "kyun, mein mandir nahin ja sakta... mujhe bhi jaana hai, aap log ruko mein abhi aaya..."

Nanu laughed caressing her head, "dekh liya... ab janaab tujhe mere saath akele mandir bhi nahin jaane denge... bilkul mujh par gaya hai... mujhe bhi tumhari Nani ke bina ek pal bhi rehna achchha nahin lagta tha..." 

He rushed inside and came back in few minutes all dressed to go with them, "aap log hamesha mujhe chhod kar kyun chale jaate ho... aur haan, aap ghar vaapas aa jaana, mandir se hum donon office chale jayenge.." he came out and moved to his car whereas Nanu moved to his car...

Naina looked both of them and in dilemma thinking, "kiske saath baithu..." she keeps looking both when Nanu smiled seeing Sameer's frustrated face.. to tease him more he called her loudly, "Naina beta.. tu aaja mere saath..." she looked at Sameer and move to Nanu leaving irritated soul, "koi baat nahin Nanu, mandir se toh apne saath hi lekar jaaunga... par nahin... abhi toh mujhe akele jaana hoga na... Nanu aap bhi na kuchh nahin samajhte... le gaye usey apne saath..." he sulked thinking of going alone....

Suddenly getting some idea he rushed to Nanu's driver and took the keys from his hand, "tum meri gaadi lekar mandir aa jaao.. yeh wali mein chalaunga..." he settled himself on driving seat and smiled widely thinking, "Nanu mein bhi aapka hi naati hun... aise kaise aap donon ko chhod deta..." whereas Nanu looking at him smiled thinking, "dekha beta... ab aayi na akal thikane... ladki ke chakkar mein driver bhi ban gaya aaj... poora deewana ho hi gaya na iske pyaar mein..." 😜

They all reached temple and Nanu offered thaali to Panditji to perform Pooja... Sameer saw Naina standing there folding her hands, with closed eyes, chatting some mantra inaudible... he keeps looking her getting visuals of same when a girl was standing there with chunri on her head with a boy... he roamed around his eyes and keep getting flashes of past... same place... same surrounding... starts sweating badly with severe headache... his head starts spinning when Nanu hold him on time to fall...

Naina seeing his condition, gets water for him.. after getting relax, Nanu asked him to rest some time there only when he said, "nahin.... voh neeche bench par baithate hai jahaan hamesha baithate the..." Nanu looked at Naina surprisingly that he still remembered the bench where he usually sits with Naina.... he smiled and after offering prayers to idol they all came down... seeing him better now, Nanu left leaving both alone sitting at bench in mandir's courtyard...

Sameer, "Naina, tum hamesha issi mandir mein aati ho kya... matlab mein pehle kabhi aaya hun yahaan... iss jagah pe aakar badi shaanti si mil rahi hai... aisa lagta hai jaise kuchh bohot achchha hua ho..." she smiled thinking, "lagega kyun nahin... aakhiri baar jab hum yahaan aaye the toh hamesha hamesha ke liye ek bandhan mein jo bandh gaye the..." to keep him relax, she said, "Sameer tumhein abhi chakkar aa rahe the na, toh jyaada mat socho... if you feel better toh hum office chalein, bohot kaam bhi hai..."

He nodded in yes and stood when she hold his hand and said showing sacred red thread, "Sameer, if you don't mind, yeh dhaaga tumhare liye liya tha Panditji se... yeh tumhein har mushkil, pareshaani se bachayega..." he forward his wrist smiling and she tied the thread on his hand when again he feels the same like a déjà vu ..

Soon they both sits in car to left for their office but he seems happy from inside as getting positive vibes ... he looked at her and smirks, "aaj pehli baar hum saath mein mandir aaye hai... bhagwan ji please humein hamesha aise hi saath rakhna..." he kissed on the thread tied by her....

Munna gets late to reach office as Swati was unwell, so all calls were coming directly on Sameer's phone... he picked up the call and hear the same familiar voice, after greeting he asked, "aapne bohot dinon baad phone kiya... mein aapse milane ki hi soch raha tha... mujhe lagta hai aapko pakka koi galatfahmi huyi hai... aap ne jaisa bataya tha vaisa kuchh nahin hai... voh toh balki sabka bohot dhyan rakhti hai... Nanu se itna pyaar karti hai..."

The person said, "bas dekha na tum phans gaye usaki chaal mein... agar aisa hai toh achanak se tumhare saare phone tumhare dost kyun uthaane laga... kyun tumhein ek minute bhi akela nahin chhodate.. aaj itane din baad mujhe tum se baat karne ka mauka mila hai... har baar phone koi aur uthata hai... office mein bhi aur ghar par bhi.. dekho mujhe tumhari chinta hai isiliye tumhein yeh sab bataya tha... mujhe laga hi tha ki tum bohot akele pad gaye hoge.. par tum chinta mat karo, maine raasta dhundh liya hai iss musibat ka... tumhari launch party mein ek special guest aane wala hai... voh insaan hi tumhein in sab se bahaar aane mein madad karega... dekhna kaise tumhein in sab ki asliyat pata chalegi..."

Sameer asked, "mujhe nahin lagta in sab ki ab koi jarurat hai... aur mein us anjaan ko pehchanunga kaise..." the person replied, "tum uski chinta mat karo, voh sab mera kaam hai.. par tum apna dhyaan rakhna tab tak... chalo baad mein baat karenge...." saying this phone disconnects...

He stood from his chair and stood near the window looking outside.. "bas ab bohot hua... mujhe yeh paheli solve karni hi padegi.... kuchh samajh nahin aa raha ki kis par bharosa karun, kis par nahin... jo dikh raha hai, jo mera man kehta hai voh sach hai ya jo unhone bataya voh... par ab kuchh bhi ho mujhe Naina par poora vishwas hai... aur koi bhi mere is vishwas ko nahin hila sakta... par yeh dhundhali yaadein... kis se puchhu, kis se baat karun, koi toh aisa hota jo meri madad kar paata..." his head starts paining again when he feels a soft hand on his shoulder... there Naina was standing with his coffee in her hand...

He took the cup and went back to his chair... she too settled on her chair and starts working whereas Sameer was keep staring her nonstop... "isko kaise hamesha pata chal jata hai ki mujhe kab kya chahiye... matlab sar dard hua aur yeh coffee lekar aa gayi... kitni masoom hai, kaise koi iss masoom par ilzaam laga sakta hai... iski aankhen kitni pyaari hai, samundra si gehri.... jab bhi dekhta hun doob jaane ka man karta hai... par kyun kabhi kabhi in mein itni udaasi si dikhti hai.. iski muskurhat dekh kar lagta hai na jaane kitna gam chhupa rakha ho... aisa kya hai... par kaun batayega mujhe..."

Taking a deep sigh he smile, "ek baar bas in sab chakkaron se nikal jaaun phir sabse pehle Naina se apne dil ki baat karunga... par usase pehle iski udaasi ki wajah bhi toh janani hai ... mujhse iski nam aankhen ab aur nahin dekhi jaati... bas man karta hai yeh saamne baithi rahe aur muskurati rahe..." he smiled seeing her busy in her work...

His trance broke when Munna entered in cabin, "arey Sameer, sorry yaar voh Swati ki thodi tabiyat kharaab thi toh late ho gaya..." he smiled and starts concentrating on the pending work in hand...

It was another extremely busy day when Naina getting very exhausted and tired went to Sameer, who was checking on some files in hand "voh Sameer, jyada kaam nahin hai ab toh mein aaj jaldi chali jaaun..." he lifts his face and smiled looking at her, "Naina tumhein mujhse puchhne ki jarurat nahin hai... tumhein jo man mein aaye voh karo..." she smiled to tease him, "voh aap Boss ho na, kahin meri salary kaat li toh..."

Leaving the file there on table he stood and came to her side and said lowering his eyes, " lagta hai ab tak maaf nahin kiya na tum ne... sach bohot sharminda hun apni harkat par... par please mujhe Boss toh mat bolo... yeh company utni hi tumhari hai jitni meri... mujhe pata hai tumne kitni mehanat ki hai iss company ke liye, Nanu ke naam ko uncha rakhne ke liye... voh bhi bina kisi swarth ke..."

She smiled lifting his face with her palm, "arey mein toh majaak kar rahi thi... tum please sorry mat bolo.. achchha ab mein jaaun please..." he nodded in yes and went back to sit on his seat thinking, " kah toh diya chali jaao par agar yeh chali jayegi toh office mein mera man kaise lagega... kitna akela feel hoga na... mujhe nahin rehna iske bina.... par itne pyaar se puchh rahi thi toh mana bhi kaise karta... vaise bhi itna kaam karti hai, lagta hai aaj thak gayi jyaada...." he keeps thinking and gets excited getting an idea....

Naina sits back on her seat and starts finishing her work quickly.... he stood after some time and about to go out but stops and ask, "tum kitni der mein jaaogi...." she replied "bas thoda sa kaam hai, khatam kar lun phir chali jaaungi.." he nodded and left to take a quick round of factory with Munna....

Soon he came back and found her missing.. he quickly pick up his blazer and rushed out at main gate... he asked from watchman, "voh Naina Madam gayi kya..." he replied softly, "ji sir, abhi dus minute pehle hi gayi hai... hum ne hi auto karwaya tha unko..." he asked hurriedly, "auto... auto mein kyun... car thi na... achchha kahaan gayi hai pata hai tumhein.." taking the address from watchman he gets surprised and picked up his car to left from factory...

He stops the car in front of a big gate... he parked his car outside and walked inside with heavy steps... he again starts getting the hazy blurry images of so many girls and boys running from here and there... a group of students standing at the parking side and chatting with each other, having fun... he took few more steps and reached to a big ground getting images of few boys playing cricket... his head starts spinning badly when he felt a touch on his shoulder....

He turned and saw an old-aged man standing there smiling, "arey Sameer beta aap yahaan... jab se college khatam hua aapko dekha hi nahin kabhi... kaise ho.." he smiled weakly and greet him though he didn't recall him... he steps inside and murmured slowly reading a board, "VJN college... kitna jaana pehchana sa naam lagta hai..." he starts going inside the building but stops with a jerk... he turned absent mindedly and moved toward the backside of building... after crossing the big ground he reached near a bench shaded with a huge tree at back.... he called softly, "Naina.."

She lifts her face all filled with tears looking him unexpectedly, standing in front of her... she wiped her tears and lowered her head to avoid his gaze on her.... he sits beside her and asked, "tum... tum yahaan... aise akele... yahaan kya kar rahi ho..." she turned back to him plastering a fake smile on her face, "bas aise hi... yeh mera college tha.. aaj purane dinon ki bohot jyada yaad aa rahi thi toh bas yahaan chali aayi..."

He smiled back when she asked shockingly, "par tum.. tum yahaan kaise.. matlab tum toh office mein the na..." he settled on bench comfortably saying, "kyun mein ek din chhutti nahin le sakta kya... bas mera man nahin laga office mein toh yahaan aa gaya... tumhare paas" he said looking intently in her eyes....

She asked getting curious, "theek hai par tum yahaan kaise.. matlab tumhein kisne bataya ki mein yahaan hun... is college mein aur yahaan iss ground mein.." he looked her with blank face, "pata nahin... bas office ke watchman ne bataya ki tum ne auto wale se VJN college bola tha toh mein seedha yahin aa gaya.... aur pata nahin par mujhe laga tum yahaan hogi aur idhar hi aa gaya... vaise Naina, mein yahaan pehle kabhi aaya hun... matlab iss college mein aur bhi toh jagah hai, par yahaan akele mein, itne sunsaan mein..."

Suddenly his expressions changed into concern for her, "vaise tum yahaan iss akele mein kya kar rahi ho... huh... maine tumhein office se chhutti di thi par yeh nahin kaha tha ki akele jaao... bas bag uthaya aur gaayab... mera wait nahin kar sakti thi... aise bina bataye chali aayi..." he scold her lovingly showing his all care and concern..

She smiled seeing his concern and restlessness for her... he looked at her face all smiling, "mein tumhein daant raha hun, iss mein hasne ki kya baat hai... tum na mere gusse se hi theek rehti ho... varna kab kya karti ho kuchh samajh nahin aata.. aise sunsaan jagah par akele kaun aata hai, voh bhi shaam ko... college bhi poora khaali hai iss waqt... tumhein kuchh ho jaata toh..."

She said smilingly, "Sameer, mujhe iss jagah par kabhi darr nahin lagta.. ek sukoon sa milta hai... meri bohot si yaadein hai iss jagah ke saath.... maine apni zindagi ke sabse jyaada khusurat pal yahaan bitaye hai, jo mein kabhi nahin bhool sakti... par dekho jabse yahaan se alag huyi sab badal gaya... meri zindagi mujhse dur chali gayi... saari khushiyon ne jaise mujhse munh mod liya ho aur ..." saying this last line her eyes brimmed with tears again.. she turned her face to other side... he was quietly listening with an amazing expression on his face... he too feels so much connected with this place... feeling like he has spent memorable time here but everything was so blurry that he can't figure out anything...

They sit silently for some time without uttering a word.. both were lost in their own memories... one was missing all beautiful moments they spent together whereas the other one trying hard to recall but failed miserably... seeing him bit tensed, Naina reprimand herself, "yeh kya kar rahi hun mein Sameer ke saath... kahin meri wajah se uski tabiyat aur kharaab ho gayi toh khud ko maaf nahin kar paaungi... mujhe uske saamne yeh sab nahin kehna chahiye tha... mandir mein bhi uski tabiyat kharaab ho gayi thi aur ab yahana college mein..."

She mentally scolds herself and immediately change the topic... showing fake anger, she asked, "vaise tum yahaan kya kar rahe ho... huh bolo... agar jaldi office se nikal gaye the toh ghar jaana chahiye tha na... jab dekho meri jasusi karte rehte ho... Mr Karamchand..." she said so innocently that he couldn't stop himself to laugh loudly, " kya Naina... kuchh bhi bolti ho tum... achchha agar tumhara sukoon time khatam ho gaya ho toh chalein... andhera hone laga hai.. aur sach kahun bohot bhukh bhi lagi hai..." she smiled and cutely nodded in yes like an obedient kid...

They both starts moving out when he said, "vaise tumhara college kaafi bada hai... mujhe nahin dikhaogi voh jagah jo tumhare dil ke itne kareeb hai..." she agreed excitedly, "haan... par abhi toh shayad saare rooms bandh ho gaye honge par koi nahin baahar se hi thoda bohot dikhati hun... I am sure tumhein achchha lagega..."

They came back towards building area and she showed him ground, class area, library, canteen... she said excitedly, "tumhein pata hai library meri favorite jagah hoti thi... kisi ko bhi mujhe dhundhna hota tha toh seedhe library mein hi aate the..." he laughed and said, "aur sabse best jagah romance ke liye.. hai na..." she looked him shockingly but stays quiet....

After spending some more time, they left from the College and headed towards the house when she asked, "vaise ek baat puchhu... tum college tak aaye par mujhe dhundhate huye ground ke pichhe kaise aa gaye... vahaan toh itna sunsaan tha... din mein bhi koi jyada nahin jaata vahaan..." he said confusingly, "pata nahin.... bas mujhe laga tum vahin hogi aur mein aa gaya..."

She smiled looking outside from the car, thinking, "aaj purane dinon ki bohot yaad aa rahi thi... aur sabse jyaada tumhari... tum ho mere paas par yeh duri ab mujhe chubhti hai... bohot dil karta hai ki tum pehle ki tarah mujhe gale laga kar mere saare dard mita do, par nahin kar sakte... vaise mujhe khushi hai tum aaj bhi hamari zindagi ki sabse special jagah nahin bhoole... par tum mujhe kaise bhool gaye Sameer, mein toh tumhari zindagi, tumhari jaan thi na... kabhi kabhi lagta hai jaise tum vahi purane Sameer ho, mere Sameer, jo mere bina ek pal bhi nahin rah sakta... aur kabhi tum itne anjaan lagte ho jaise mujhe jaante bhi nahin... pata nahin aur kitna dard, kitni judaai likhi hai hamari kismat mein, par mein intzaar karungi tumhara... aakhiri dam tak... bhagwan ji ko tumhein mere paas bhejna hi padega, tumhein mera pehle wala Sameer bana kar... I Am Missing You So Much..."

Meri Zindagi Kay Raaz Main Ek Raaz Tum Bhi Ho

Meri Bandagi Ki Pyas Main Ek Pyas Tum Bhi Ho

Tum Kya Ho Kuch To Ho Yaa Kuch Nahi

Magar Meri Zindagi Ki Kash Main Ek Kash Tum Bhi Ho
