Naina wanted to convince Sameer to let go away all these legal contracts and move on in their life separately, but they got disturbed with continuous ring on his phone.

Naina's eye landed on his phone seeing photo of a cute little boy, age seemed to be similar of Nehu... her heart slightly pinched thinking about his happy family...

Sameer picked up the phone immediately having a broad smile on his face, "morning Champ... how are you..."

Naina didn't able to hear what other one is saying but ensure that the little boy must be complaining to him about something...

Sameer laughed replying, "sorry champ, bohot jaruri kaam tha varna mein tumhein bataye bina nahin aata... you know how much I love you..."

Though she was not aware with whom Sameer was talking but vaguely guessed that he must be his son, to whom he loved very deeply...

Sameer again replied after a pause, "don't worry, I will speak to your Mom... meri absence mein voh tumhein kuchh nahin kahengi... you know na Mummy Papa aapko kitna pyaar karte hai... so be a good boy and don't make then angry... I will be back soon aur phir tumhare liye ek gift bhi toh laana hai..." he said eyeing to Naina with a smile...

Since Sameer always talk about his dream girl and Angel with Aryan, he was well aware about her and always wish to meet her and his sibling soon... since the day Naina left them all, Preeti was extremely agitated and never wanted to talk about Naina, so unusually, Sameer was always sharing all his feelings with little boy who most of the time doesn't understand thoroughly what his buddy Sam was even talking about...

An inexplicable gloom welled up in Naina's eyes thinking that how much Sameer loves his family... she always wished for him and wanted all his dreams to be fulfilled... when they were together years back, she had seen his desire for a complete family... even if she loved him to the core, she was never able to fulfil his dream as her unborn child was not his blood... seems that might be the only reason for which Sameer wanted the child to get adopted by some unknown family... but now he has his own family and looks like he really adores them abundantly...

Sameer turned finishing his call and saw her standing totally lost in her thoughts... he called her twice realizing her eyes were filled with tears... he keeps his hand on her shoulder jerking slightly, "Naina, what happened... why are you crying" he didn't get any reason for her to cry when few minutes before she was fully arguing with him and forcing him to go back... he can tease her, fight with her but never allowed a single tear to come in her eyes for any reason...

Naina lifted her blurred vision asked, "you really love your family so much... then why are you not going back... they all must be missing you"

Sameer smiled wiping her tears, "mein jo bhi kar raha hoon apne parivaar ke liye, apne apno ke liye hi kar raha hoon... so I have no regrets and my decision is final... you know me very well that I never go back from my words..." he said firmly leaving no room for any further compromise

Initially he just wanted to tease her a bit but nonetheless, it was fun to see her surprised and shocked reactions. He really wanted to know the reason for her distant behaviour first before going ahead in his relations with her. So, he wanted to keep things that way and drag his love and teasing game on.

Naina's all attempt to keep Sameer away from her life and Nehu seems futile... if earlier he was only stubborn, now with threat of their so-called legal divorce documents, he makes her quiet... if she doesn't want to go back Delhi along with him, she must endure his presence for next three months, not personally but professionally also...

Before Naina tried to convince him further, they heard a soft sleepy voice calling him, "Morning Papa"

Sameer turned and quickly picked her up in his arms giving a soft peck on her cheeks, "Morning Angel... aap kab uthey... mein aapke paas hi aa raha tha... you know I was missing you soooo much to have fun with you..." he talked with her in babyish language to make her laughed heartedly...

A pure genuine smile crept on his lips hearing her calling him Papa with so much love... a feeling of strangeness welled up in his heart... this was the feeling he had never experienced before, even if he was always so close to Aryan, but this feeling is absolute new for him... he wanted it so much, and just hold on to it so firmly.

Angel encircled her little arms around his neck giving a soft peck, "I also miss you too Papa... jab aap mujhe nahin dikhe toh mujhe laga aap mujhe phir se chhod kar chale gaye..." her voice was laced with slight pain for missing her father...

Sameer caressed her hair lovingly throwing a murderous glare to Naina standing there, "don't worry baby, I will never leave you alone... promise..." to lighten her mood he said, "let's go and get ready... I want to have breakfast with you..." saying this they both chatting lovably went inside room to get freshen up planning their day ahead ignoring the fuming figure standing there feeling dejected...

Naina remains stood there, "haww... vaise toh kehti thi ki mere bina iski subah nahin hoti aur aaj Papa ke saamne mujhe bhool gayi... cheater Maheshwari ke jaisi hoti ja rahi hai yeh ladki bhi... sab sangat ka asar hai... Sameerji bhi kitne pyaar se usey good morning bol rahe the aur mujhe aise ghurate hai jaise kachcha hi kha jayenge... huh" she said feeling hurt that her own little kid prefers Sameer more than her now and he is also more willing to spent his time with her...

A loud laughter makes her turn seeing Swati standing there laughing loudly, "hey bhagwan Naina, tu toh Nehu se bhi jealous feel kar rahi hai... baap re baap, mujhe nahin pata tha ki tu Sameer ko lekar itni possessive hai... tera yeh side toh maine pehli baar dekha hai"

Naina hit on her arm, "bakwaas bandh kar... ek toh Sameerji ne subah se poora dimaag ghuma diya hai mujhe yeh legal agreements dikha dikha kar aur phir yeh Nehu bhi mujhe bhool hi gayi hai... kal se ek baar bhi mere paas nahin aayi... aur ab tu bhi majaak bana le mera... kisi ko meri nahin padi ki mein akele kaise itna sab sahungi..." her eyes got slightly damp feeling hurt and dejected as seems none of them wants her in their life...

Swati pulled her hand sitting on sofa closely asked, "chal mujhe bata kya hua... lagta hai Sameer se baat ho gayi teri... kya kaha kyun aaye hai yahaan..." she asked with a serious tone seeing her best friend so upset...

Naina narrates her about their divorce document which she has signed when they were on bad terms during initial days of their marriage... but slowly they both were falling for each other and starts trusting... later she didn't even remember those documents and after she left, it never comes in her mind that Sameer was so eager to complete the agreed tenure of 6 month including her official agreement also...

Swati narrowing her eyes deeply in thought asked suspiciously, "are you sure Naina ki Sameer ne tujhe yahi sab kaha tha... I mean tune theek se toh suna tha na..."

Naina frowned, "kya matlab theek se suna tha ki nahin... tujhe bhi lagta hai mein bekwoof hoon..." she asked feeling distressed that earlier Sameer and now Swati also considers her as a fool...

Swati replied, "nahin yaar... mera matlab jaise tu ne bataya he is The Sameer Maheshwari, CEO of Maheshwari Industries... I mean unhein apni ek mamuli si personal assistant ke 6 months' probation period complete na karne par itna issue kaise ho sakta hai... aur voh divorce contract... I don't believe ki voh itne bade businessman ho kar bhi itna mamuli sa court case handle nahin kar paaye... usually maine suna hai ki business tycoons has so much money and power to buy law and order..." she rolled her eyes feeling weird that how can such a big businessman not able to handle a pity case of his own divorce and waited for four years to search Naina for closure... the documents were already signed by Naina willingly without asking for any compensation, so for what Sameer was waiting for?

Naina replied instantly praising his sincerity, "tu gaalt soch rahi hai Swati... mere Sameer ji aise nahin hai... voh har business deal poori imaandaari se karte hai chaahe unka kitna bhi nuksaan kyun na ho jaaye... aakhir Nanu ke aadarsh jo hai un mein... isiliye shayad hamare divorce agreement ke clauses ko lekar voh itna concerned hai"

"galti toh meri hi hai na ki maine itani important baat par dhyaan hi nahin diya... bina court jaaye divorce kaise ho sakta tha... meri wajah se unhein kitni takleef huyi hogi na..." she said feeling guilty to make him suffer for her ignorance...

Swati hit hard on her head, "tera dimaag toh theek hai... kya bol rahi hai ki divorce nahin hua tumhara... tu ne hi toh kaha tha ki he got married again... toh agar tum donon divorced nahin ho aur tu abhi bhi unki legal wife hai toh iska matlab unki dusri shaadi toh illegal hi huyi hai..."

"oh shit, yeh toh maine socha hi nahin... I mean Sameerji ne illegal marriage ki hai... isiliye shayad voh jald se jald yahaan rah kar apna contract poora karke hamari shaadi ko khatam karna chahte hai... tabhi voh apni dusri shaadi ko legal kar payenge..." the shock was evident as she didn't think about it earlier when Sameer declared them to be still in marriage... she feels more hurt thinking Sameer didn't even wait for their marriage to get nullify and gets re-married with his lover...

Naina was all lost thinking, "kya isiliye unhone shaadi itne chup chap se ki, bina kisi ko bulaye... uss din bhi Ramdhari Kaka media ko dur rakhne ki baat kar rahe the... kabhi kisi article mein unki wife nahin dikhi... shayad meri wajah se unhein itni pareshaani jhelni padi aur apne pyaar ko sabse chhupa kar rakhna pada... kitna mushkil hua hoga unke liye meri ek galti ki wajah se itne saal saari duniya se apni shaadi chhupa kar rakhna..." she felt even more guilty on her reckless act of leaving him without giving a proper closure to their relation...

Swati seeing her so lost jerked her saying, "Naina, shayad Nehu awaaz de rahi hai... ja jaakar dekh kya hua... actually voh Sameer ke saath hai toh its quite awkward for me to go... hum toh theek se ek dusre ko jaante bhi nahin abhi tak..." she said and left for her room to get ready...

Swati was still uncomfortable facing Sameer as he seems a complete stranger for her but always feel likes that she had seen him somewhere but unable to recognize... even after hearing all his reasoning to stay with them makes her more suspicious on his intentions.

Naina stood in daze and went inside seeing Sameer bringing Nehu wrapped in towel from bathroom after giving her a shower... Sameer was also fully drenched, seems they both had great fun in shower.

Nehu exclaimed happily, "Mumma aaj shower mein bada maja aaya... maine dekho Papa ko bhi bhigo diya jaise aapko bhigoti thi..." she keeps narrating how they both had fun splashing water on each other...

Naina smiled faintly seeing Sameer also almost wet but still busy in wiping her hairs... she knew he always catch cold easily but didn't muster energy to ask him to wipe himself... avoiding awkwardness more she divert her attention towards Nehu, "beta lekin ab aap jaldi se dress pehno varna thand lag jayegi... aapko pata hai na jyaada der paani mein rehne se cold ho jaata hai" she restrains herself showing her concern towards him, doesn't want to give any wrong signals but couldn't stop herself saying last words looking at him...

Naina avoiding his gaze, went towards her wardrobe and pulled out a blue frock with white frills for Nehu to wear... she extended her hand towards Sameer said slowly, "yeh pehna dijiye Nehu ko..." she brings another towel for Sameer but kept it on bed side to let him wipe himself before catching cold.

She was about to left when a soft tug on her wrist makes her stop... leaning slightly towards her he whispers, "if you don't mind mein Angel ko phir se kal wala uske Papa ka frock hi pehna doon... aakhir beti apne Papa ke bachpan ki dress pehne toh us mein buraai hi kya hai... kal kitni pyaari lag rahi thi na hamari Angel... bilkul meri parchhayi jaise..." he said pointing towards the chair where her last day frock was lying there...

Naina remains stood there feeling more embarrassed... how can she forget that how coincidentally Nehu was dressed in the same frock which she brings back from Nanu as Sameer's childhood memory... Sameer must have surely recognized it very well...

She immediately rushed out making excuse avoiding him saying anything more to tease her... she has no reason why she always treasured their little moments, securing in her heart...

Sameer smiled recalling how much he felt happy seeing his Angel wearing his childhood frock when they were playing in park with other kids... he had not recognized it initially, when they met in hospital but later while playing, he realized what she was wearing... seems Naina has kept this dress all through these years with her and make it wear to her daughter... their daughter...

Naina preparing breakfast for all in kitchen saw Nehu coming to her... Naina smiled seeing her being so happy around him, "achchha ji, toh Mummy ki yaad aa hi gayi aapko... mujhe laga meri baby mujhe bhool hi gayi hai..."

Nehu pulled her hand squatting down, "Mummy aapko pata hai mein aur Papa kal se kitni masti kar rahe hai, lekin hum donon aapko bhi miss kar rahe the... aap hamare saath kyun nahin khelte" she asked innocently as she was missing Naina's presence around them.

Naina feels guilty for not able to give her daughter a complete family love... she smiled for her sake, "voh Mumma thodi si busy hai na bas isliye... don't worry aaj shaam ko Mumma bhi aapke saath park jayengi... promise."

Nehu smiled encircling her little hand around her, "thank you Mumma... Papa, aap aur mein teenon khoob masti karnege ek saath... Papa ne promise kiya hai ki voh humare saath picnic par bhi jayenge, aur unhone kaha hai ki voh humein chhod kar ab kabhi nahin jaayenge..." she keeps narrating how Sameer agreed to all her wishes to fulfil without any resentment...

She felt dampness in her eyes thinking, "Sameer kyun aise waade kar rahein hai jo poore nahin honge... 3 mahine mein toh Nehu unse bohot jyaada attach ho jayegi... mujhe phir se baat karni padegi" she determined to convince him to find some other solution as staying together will create more fuss in her settled life.

Nehu rushed out seeing Sameer coming towards dining table... Swati also came joining Naina to help in serving...

Sameer pulled Angel making her sit in his lap, showing her something in his mobile... Swati nudged her elbow, "dekh le Naina... mujhe nahin lagta yeh teen mahine toh kya teen janmon mein bhi tujhe chhod kar jaane wale hai... aisa lag raha hai jaise Sameer iss ghar ke maalik aur hum yahaan guest hai... lekin sach kahun toh Nehu ko itna khush maine pehle kabhi nahin dekha... I really wish ki uska dil kabhi nahin toote... mujhe nahin pata tha voh apne Papa ko itna miss karti hai"

Naina smiled faintly as she was at a loss for what to do to handle all this mess... she handed food tray to Swati to starts serving food, "tu yeh lekar chal mein Nehu ke liye milkshake laati hoon" sending Swati out she quickly prepares coffee as per his liking to serve with breakfast

She smiled hearing her chirpy voice, "wow Mumma, aaj toh aapne bina kahe mera favorite aloo parantha banaya hai... thank you so much"

Naina serves curd and pickle knowing Sameer always like to eat parantha along with his coffee... their eyes met for a moment with so many unexplainable emotions stirred in their heart... even though she never wanted to give him any wrong signals but somewhere his presence makes her thoughts completely jumbled up...

Nehu served parantha to Sameer excitedly telling her liking of this particular dish, "Papa this is my favourite food..."

Sameer responded giving her a heart-warming smile, "meri bhi..." they both said unison, "always favourite" and laughed...

They both started eating the served one in their plate, finished it in no minute... they keep serving themselves not giving any heed to others sitting their... it looks like they seems craving for this for so long... Naina smiled seeing him enjoying her cooked food after so long... even if they are no more into relation, she cannot deny how much she still loved him and can go to any extent for his happiness...

Swati served herself and started eating when elbowed to Naina seeing her so lost, "tu breakfast kyun nahin kar rahi..." she was initially surprised when saw her cooking parantha as in general she always opposed Nehu to eat heavy food in early morning hours but now understood the reason seeing Sameer devouring the food non-stop...

Naina coming back to senses nodded her head taking sip of her tea with small bites... in few minutes the casserole filled with paratha's got empty giving a heart-breaking feeling to two aloo parantha lovers...

Nehu said giving the most pity look, "Mummy aur khaana hai... please" she knew Naina will never agree for her to eat so much but to her surprise Naina stood silently and went back to kitchen to cook more parantha for both...

In few minutes she came back serving more to both, letting them to enjoy and went back to prepare some more... Swati finishing her breakfast joined her in kitchen, "kya baat hai madam, aaj aapne Nehu ko roka bhi nahin... ek baat bata, aaj tu ne yeh paratha sirf Nehu ke liye banaya hai ya kisi aur..." she winked to her giving a teasing look

Naina nodded her head slowly, "maanti hoon rishta badal gaya hai lekin zazbaat nahin badle... maine dekha tha ki kal raat ko bhi Sameerji ne theek se khaana nahin khaaya tha... aur mujhe maloom hai ki aloo parantha ke liye Sameerji kabhi mana nahin kar sakte chaahe kitne bhi naraaz ho mujhse... aur phir Nehu ka bhi toh favourite hai"

Swati thinking for a while asked, "tujhe nahin lagta Nehu aur Sameer ki likings dislikings ek dam same hai... I mean itna coincident kaise ho sakta hai jab ki unmein koi relation bhi nahin hai... yahaan tak ki aaj jab donon ko ek saath dekh rahi hoon toh lagta hai jaise Nehu Sameer ki hi parchhayi ho" she raised her concern as it seems unbelievable for anyone to accept this truth...

Naina shrugged her shoulder nonchalantly as she herself is extremely confused but doesn't have any valid reason to believe on... moreover the important issue to handle at present is to keep Sameer away from Nehu as early as possible but seems impossible the way Sameer is behaving...

Naina coming out carrying few more served to them who were keep busy in chatting and enjoying, "bas yeh last hai... iske baad nahin milega" she said eyeing to Nehu as she seems to ask for some more...

Seeing Angel's gloomy look Sameer cajoles her, "it's okay Angel, baaki ke parantha hum lunch mein kha lenge" giving almost a mini heart attack to Naina who was almost going to faint after making so many paranthas in breakfast only...

Nehu screamed happily, "sach mein Papa... lekin Mummy nahin manegi... voh kehti hai ki agar mein saare time aloo parantha khaungi toh ek din aloo jaisi ho jaaungi" she said making cute pout recalling how every time Naina refuse her wish to eat only one dish...

Sameer laughed on her cute complaint about not getting enough servings as per her likings, "koi baat nahin, mein bhi bachpan mein sirf aloo parantha hi khaata tha... lekin dekho ab mein kitna fit hoon... vaise bhi khaana sirf apni pasand se hi khaana chahiye aur phir aloo parantha ko kaise mana kar sakta hai voh bhi jab koi itane dil se banaye aapke liye" he said eyeing to Naina as he had observed that even if she never wanted to show her feelings but couldn't hold herself completely

He said looking at Naina with the most pleading look, "please lunch ke liye aur bana do... dekho Angel ka bhi kitna man hai aur mera bhi man nahin bhara... aakhir itane saalon baad jo kha raha hoon" he said as a matter of fact that he had never touched this dish for last so many years

Naina went back to kitchen getting irritated with their food love, "Nanu ki bhavishyavani bilkul sahi thi ki ek din mujhe aloo ki kheti hi karni padegi... itne parantha breakfast mein khaane ke baad bhi lunch mein dobara khaane hai... pata nahin iss ek dish mein kaise donon ki jaan basi hai..."

Soon a soft smiled crept on her face recalling that how to fulfil Nehu's wish only, Sameer talk to her so sweetly first time since yesterday... if that was the case, she was willing to make their favourite breakfast for whole day without complaints, "Nehu ke liye hi sahi kam se kam ek baar pehle ki tarah mujhse muskura ke baat toh ki... varna kal se ya toh mujhe tease kar rahe hai ya gusse mein dekh rahe hai... yeh Mr Weird Maheshwari ka kuchh samajh hi nahin aata kab kya sochte hai, kya karte hai... lagta hai inki sangat mein Nehu bhi vaise hi ho jayegi..."

Soon their fun-filled breakfast time gets over... Swati went to her room to get ready as she was having some case to handle, "Naina mujhe hospital jaana hai kuchh kaam se... jaane se pehle mein Nehu ko play school chhod dungi..."

Naina stops her asking, "lekin tu abhi toh night shift kar ke aayi hai... aaj toh tera rest hona chahiye na"

Swati replied hiding her nervousness, "nahin voh... matlab abhi phone aaya tha ki ek case hai... don't worry about me lekin iss case ko handle karna jaruri hai" saying this she starts helping her in cleaning house deeply lost in her thoughts.

Naina looked at her confusingly but shrugged off as since yesterday everything happening around already messed up her mind, "pata nahin aaj kal mere aas paas sab itna ajeeb behave kyun kar rahe hai... koi baat nahin shaam ko puchh lungi, I hope kuchh serious na ho"

Even though they both were staying together but never forced each other for anything. They respect each-others privacy and never interfere but always there to support each other whenever required. Being busy in their professions, they enrolled little one into a nearby play school cum day care centre as sometimes they both got busy.

Swati helping her to clean the table said, "Naina tu ne jo bola tha uske liye maine form fill kar diya tha kal... shayad do teen din mein appointment bhi mil jayegi... par tujhe nahin lagta this may be an issue to handle... I don't know how to say but you know how people think many times..."

Naina halts suddenly knowing the reason of her worries, "I know Swati, lekin aaj nahin toh kal mujhe iska saamna karna hi hai... hum kitna bhi chaahe sachchai se bhaag nahin sakte... but I am sure I can handle it... zindagi ne itna sab sikhaya hai ki ab kuchh bhi mushkil nahin lagta" she said giving a faint smile mocking on her destiny who was never be easy on her...

Swati smiled encouraging her, "that should be the spirit... I am so much proud of you ki tu ne kabhi akele hote huye bhi haar nahin maani... don't worry sab theek hi hoga"

They both chatted for a while when saw Sameer coming out carrying Nehu in his arms and holding her school bag in his other hand... he was dressed up casually wearing a blue denim jean with a white shirt, as decided by Nehu for him

Nehu called them both excitedly, "Mumma dekho aaj maine papa ki dress select ki, jaise roj aap meri karte ho... lag rahe hai na mere Papa sabse smart and cute bilkul meri tarah... aur aaj toh hum donon matching mein bhi hai" she said giving a praising look to Sameer who was looking handsome as always.

Sameer giving a soft peck on her cheeks said lovingly, "of course kyunki meri Angel ki choice sabse best jo hai bilkul apni Mummy ki tarah... hai na Naina" he said giving a naughty smile to Naina making her blushed to the core. Naina recalled how first time she had also selected the blue and white combination for Sameer, and he also did the same for her twining their dresses.

Swati smiled seeing trio giving a look of a perfect family... she came ahead to take Nehu from his hand, "Nehu baby lets go... aaj aapko mein play school chhod dungi aur mujhe aaj jaldi vaapas aana hai toh I will come to pick you up also... phir shaam ko hum donon khoob masti karenge"

Nehu shook her head holding Sameer from his neck, replied cutely, "sorry mausi, lekin aaj mujhe school Papa chhodane ja rahe hai... mujhe apne Papa ko mere saare school friends se bhi toh milwana hai" she was way more excited to go with Sameer to let him meet with all her friends...

Sameer smiled caressing her head, "of course, mujhe bhi aapke saare friends se milna hai... aur evening mein humein phir se park mein bhi toh jaana hai khelne..." collecting her lunch box filled with her favourite paratha, they both left discussing about all their plans to have fun, leaving the other two standing their numb...

Naina said seeing the retreating figures going away from her sight, "kal se Nehu har kisi se Sameer ko milwa rahi hai... aisa hi chalta raha toh kahin newspaper mein na chhapwa de ki mere Papa aa gaye hai... pata nahin kal saare neighbours ne Sameer ko achanak dekh kar kaise react kiya hoga aur aaj school mein bhi... aur uppar se donon kitne obsessed hai ki ek dusre ki hi taarif karte rehte hai har waqt..." she said feeling defeated as everything seems going out of her control.

Swati patted her shoulder, "lagta hai khud hi apni taarif karna bhi usne apne Papa se hi seekha hai but don't worry hum sambhal lenge, lekin abhi mujhe jaana hoga... you take care..." saying this she hurriedly left leaving Naina alone thinking how to handle this situation... how will she explain all neighbours and friends around about her relations with Sameer which will soon over in next few months only.
