Hi Friends, 

Here's 75th Update of this story... I am overwhelmed for the love you showered and support given  to my book ... thanks to all my lovely readers once again...🙏😊

After spending lovely moments together at mandir, they came back happily... Naina stays back downstairs whereas Sameer entered in room saw his suit with accessories placed properly on the couch like earlier... he kept staring it smilingly like a fool sitting alone, when Pandit entered grinned widely breaking his trance, "hmm... toh lagta hai patch up achchhe se ho hi gaya finally donon ka..."

Sameer coming back into sense suddenly realized how he hurt her, spreading a wave of guilt back on his face, replied with a gloomy face, "par dil toh dukhaya hi tha na maine... lekin uska dil bohot bada hai... mere ek baar sorry kehne se maaf kar diya..."

Pandit sits in front of him smiling, "kyunki tu ne bhi sorry apne dil se bola tha... ab ek dil ki baat dusre dil ko manani hi padegi na... aakhir ek dusre ke liye hi jo dhadakte hai donon... aur voh pyaar hi kya jis mein ruthna manana na ho... bas haan yaad rakhna dobara yeh galti na ho jisase dil hi toot jaaye..."

Sameer asked suddenly, "vaise ek baat bata, mein kya bohot jyaada hi gussa karta hoon, ziddi hoon, khadus hoon... I mean pehle toh kabhi kisi ne aisa nahin kaha mere baare mein..." he asked confusingly to Pandit with a cute pout...

Pandit suppressing his laughter said with a serious face, "bhai, pehle tujhe Naina Devi jaisi nidar aur bahadur ladki bhi toh nahin mili thi jo seedha sher ki maand mein ghus kar sher ko hi chaar baatein suna kar aa jaaye... vaise aur kya taareef ki kal usne teri... mujhe poori ummid hai achchhe se aarti utaari hai kal teri usne..." he laughed seeing his sulky face realizing his teasing...

Sameer said with a determined look, "vaise voh kuchh bhi bole sab chalta hai mujhe, par bohot jaldi apne baare mein uski raay na badli toh mera naam bhi Sameer Maheshwari nahin... ek din isi cheater se toot kar pyaar karogi tab pata chalega meri dream girl... ab tumhein achchha lage ya bura, saath toh tumhara chhodane se raha mein..." a mischievous smirk spread on his face thinking how badly he wants to keep her close to him and tacts he used last night...

Flashback...

After having a peaceful dinner together, Naina getting freshen up coming out from bathroom seeing him still awaked working on his laptop... knowing he must take rest properly she went close to him, "I think you should also take rest now... Pandit ne bataya aap do raaton se soye nahin theek se toh..." she feels bit hesitate to again talk about the hurtful moments and their sufferings...

Sameer knowing how much emotional she is and they way she got nightmares last night doesn't want her also to stay away from him... getting a brilliant idea he said making a cute baby face, "I know, but since so much of work is pending, I will not get the peaceful sleep anymore... you go and rest... let me finish my work alone..." he stressed on last word purposely...

Naina fidgeting her palms nervously asked, "can I help you... I mean if we both work together it will finish soon..."

Sameer accepted her offer instantly and patted on side of his bed, "that's a brilliant idea... come and sit here and will start discussing... but I have one condition... since we both are tired, will discuss all work first and them start working on this..."

She nodded confusingly but didn't argue... he adjusted the pillow besides him to make her sit comfortably and starts discussing some official project with her... soon he smiled feeling weight on his shoulder... he tilted his head seeing her sleeping peacefully keeping her head on his shoulder... holding her from waist he lifted her petite figure, making her laid down next to him closely...

Sameer smiled tucking her hair strands behind ear, "I knew you were tired par sorry yun jhuth bolkar tumhein apne paas bulaya... par tumhein apne se dur nahin jaane de sakta tha... tumhare saath ki itani aadat ho gayi hai ki ek pal ki doori bhi sahan nahin hoti ab..."

Hamaari Sanso Mein Ek Aahat Aapki Bhi Hai;

Dil Ki Dhadkno Mein Ek Gungunahat Aapki Bhi Hai;

Anjaan Hai Aap Shayad Iss Raaz Se;

Ki Hamaari Hansi Mein Ek Muskrahat Aapki Bhi Hai... I Love you Naina...

Soon holding her soft palms in his, he too slept well after stressed and painful day...

Flashbackends...

Sameer joined them all at breakfast table and glad to see her serving his all-favorite dishes like earlier... Breakfast went in peace with normal talks when servant inform arrival of some guest... Vishakha stood and greeted a middle age person, followed with his assistant...

Vishakha, "yeh Mr Zawerilal hai... hamare sabse purane aur khandaani jeweler... jab bhi koi naya design banta hai dukaan se pehle hamare yahaan hi aata hai... he called me yesterday to show some new designs so maine bula liya... let's see if we can buy something..."

Kamya joined her excitedly, "wow auntie, that's so cool... maine suna hai inke designs bilkul exclusive hote hai... I just loved all of them..."

Vishakha seeing Naina still sitting there, call her also to join them which she denied politely, "mujhe jewellery mein koi interest nahin... aap log dekh lijiye..."

Kamya insist her, "mujhe pata hai tujhe yeh sab samajh nahin aata kyunki tu ne bachpan se kabhi yeh sab nahin dekha, par ab jab mauka mila hai toh tujhe bhi yeh sab seekhna chahiye... after all inhi cheezon se toh status pata chalta hai..." giving a cheesy smile to Sameer, she dragged Naina and settled on sofa besides Vishakha seeing the latest designs displayed...

Vishakha and Kamya selected heavy jewellery pieces of latest designs whereas Naina didn't show any interest in it... knowing she has no budget to spend on this... Vishakha seeing Sameer present there, keep insisting Naina to select something for herself... to avoid any embarrassment for herself, just to check, Naina randomly picked up a small diamond ring of heart shape...

Kamya laughed seeing, "Naina, itni saari heavy jewellery mein tujhe yeh chhoti si ring hi pasand aayi hai... you should choose something else... let me decide something classy for you..." she starts selecting few big diamond necklaces for her... she picked up a neck piece and placed on her neck to show, "tujhe kitna suit kar raha hai... you should buy this one..."

Naina hold her hand to stop denying to bought anything, "it's nothing like this... mujhe kuchh nahin lena... mein toh bas dekh rahi thi... mujhe vaise bhi shok nahin inn sab ka..."

She smiled faintly seeing the ring still in her hand thinking, "kya sach mein insaan ki ehmiyat uske pehnawe aur jewellery se hoti hai... agar aisa hota toh shayad log dil aur zazbaat toh bhool hi gaye hote... jaise meri bachpan ki dost mujhe bhool gayi, hamare rishtey ko bhool gayi..."

Sameer sitting at a distance busy on his phone keenly looked at her thinking he had never seen her wearing any jewellery like other girls... at the time of marriage she got some ancestral jewellery from Vishakha, but she returned all to him very next day itself and he himself never offered or buy anything for her till now...

His thoughts interrupt by Mr Zawerilal praising to Naina's choice, "but I must say ki aapki choice sabse best hai... yeh ring hamari iss saal ki classic solitaire award winning design hai aur humne decide kiya hai ki iska koi dusra piece nahin banega... it will be exclusive forever..."

Naina keep the ring back in box said, "yes, it is beautiful par mujhe nahin chahiye..." before she handed it back to jeweler, Sameer stop her hand taking the box in his hand, "it's really nice, you should buy it..."

He pulled out the ring from box and hold her hand to make her wear when Naina suddenly pulled her hand back, "nahin please mujhe kuchh nahin lena... aap log dekh lijiye, mein ready ho kar aati hun..." she stood and left hurriedly leaving all stunned on her reaction...

Coming back to room, she saw her dress was placed on couch at the same place where she kept his office suit... she smiled thinking, "mujhe itni expensive ring se jyaada khushi aapki inn chhoti chhoti baaton se milti hai... voh ring kharidane ki meri haisiyat nahin aur aapse itna mehenga gift mein nahin le sakti... ek patni ka haq sabse pehle apne pati ke pyaar par hota hai, mehange tohfo par nahin... aur jab tak mujhe mera pyaar nahin milta yeh sab cheeze mere liye koi maayne nahin rakhti... aapka pyaar se mere liye laaya ek phool bhi mere liye aapka sabse anmol tohfa hoga.. beshkimati..."

She changed quickly in his selected dress and came downstairs...

Sameer relieved thinking, "dress toh pehna hai matlab ab naraaz nahin... par ring kyun nahin li, mein itne pyaar se pehna raha tha... kya abhi bhi voh mujhe apne se alag samajhati hai... mujhse kuchh lene mein itna ghabrati kyun hai... sab husband apni wife ke liye gifts toh lete hi hai toh phir... but it's better to not drag this topic any more... she might get disturb again..." Sameer left out with Pandit asking her to come fast...

Before she went out Kamya stopped her at some distance asking slowly, "Naina... tera hath ab kaisa hai... sorry voh kal ke liye... mujhe pata nahin tha... should I get some medicine for you..."

Naina assure nothing serious when she asked, "tu ne bataya nahin yeh kaise hua... if I am mot mistaken has, he done something wrong to hurt you... ya tum donon ki koi ladaai huyi hai..."

Naina hold her hand in her's said with a smile, "nothing like this Kamya... pehli baat Sameerji mujhe sapne mein bhi iss tarah nuksaan nahin pahuncha sakte... haan thoda gussa rehte hai but he is gem of a person... voh jis tarah meri care karte hai, mera dhyaan rakhte hai aisa aaj tak kisi ne nahin kiya... kehte nahin par unki aankhen padi hai maine... meri parwaah hai unhein aur mere liye itna hi bohot hai... unhone itane pyaar se marham lagaya ki jalan toh dur ab nishaan bhi nahin raha... aur rahi baat ladaai ki toh husband wife ke beech toh yeh sab hota hi rehta hai... shayad yahi iss rishtey ki khubsurati hai ki jitna ladenge utana paas aayenge... par tu abhi yeh sab nahin samjhegi..." she said suppressing her smile with a tinge of blush on her face...

Kamya shocked hearing it asked roughly, "kya matlab husband wife... tum... matlab you are getting divorced, toh yeh sab kya hai... don't tell me that you are together now..."

Naina took a deep sigh laughed slowly, "Sameerji sahi kehte hai, tujhe badaam khaane chahiye... of course we are husband wife... jab tak divorce nahin hua we are still married couple... aur kal kisne dekha hai... shayad jo feelings aur pyaar aaj mere dil mein unke liye hai kal unke dil mein bhi ho... aur kehte hai na achchha sochoge toh achchha hi hoga... jis bhagwan ne yeh rishta banaya hai vahi ab usko sambhalenge bhi... par mein apni koshish kabhi nahin chhodungi... aur na hi unse pyaar karna jo mere dil mein hai..."

Naina went ahead when Kamya asked, "aur agar kabhi Sameer tujhse pyaar karne laga toh..."

Naina turned back with a smile on her face, "toh... mujhe nahin lagta ab hamare beech mein kisi toh ya shaq ki koi gunjayish hai... haam humne kabhi kaha nahin par kuchh zazbaat sirf mehsoos kiye jaate hai... jo ek dil se nikalte hai aur seedha dusre ke dil mein pahunchate hai..."

जिनसे रूह का नाता होता है,
उनकी अनकही बातें का भी एहसास हो जाता है

She smiled adoringly looking at Sameer who was in car waiting for her, "aur haan, jis din Sameer ji ne apne dil ki baat mujhse kah di, uss din duniya ki koi taakat humein alag nahin kar payegi... mein aaj bhi unke saath hoon aur hamesha rahungi... par voh din, voh lamha, bohot khubsurat hoga jab hum donon apne pyaar ka izhaar karenge... jab hamare saare sapne poore honge... na kisi rishtey ka bandhan na koi majboori... sirf hum donon... aur mera dil kehta hai voh din jaroor aayega... voh bhi bohot jaldi..." she left with a confidence smile on her face leaving Kamya in daze...

Kamya looked at her going away with blurry eyes, "nahin Naina, mein aisa nahin hone dungi... tujhe yahaan se, hum sab se dur jaana hi hoga... mein ab aur Sameer ko tere najdeek aate nahin dekh sakti... mujhe pata hai yeh galat hai par ab mere paas aur koi raasta nahin... tu pyaar karti hai Sameer se par tumhara saath namumkin hai... hamesha se dari sahmi chup chap si rehne wali ladki mein itna confidence sirf kisi ka pyaar bhar sakta hai... par isase pehle ki Sameer ka pyaar tujh tak pahunche mujhe pata hai tumhein kaise alag karna hai... aur iss baar Sameer bhi tujhe nahin bacha paayega yeh mera waada hai..."

Seeing Naina coming towards them left a relieved smile on Sameer's face... he observed how much Kamya was trying to interfere and disturbing Naina but seems now nothing is affecting her anymore... they left for office with casual discussions on office matters... Sameer was relaxed seeing her back to normal and talking with him... laughing on Pandit's banter jokes... he was eager to know the reason for rejecting the ring but remain quiet as doesn't want to disturb her any more...

Reaching office, Naina settled on her desk completing her pending work when a staff from finance department approached her, "Naina, iss par Mr Maheshwari ke sign chahiye... kuchh personal bills settle karne hai urgently..."

Naina took the file and checked the bills... she shocked to see the bill of solitaire ring from same jeweler... before she asked, he added further, "yeh voh abhi thodi der pehle Pushpendra Sir dekar gaye the... yeh payment aaj hi honi hai isiliye mein personally lekar aaya hun... please jaldi sign karwa do..."

Naina replied giving a soft smile hiding her anger, "it's okay, just leave it here... I will get this signed and send you back..."

She took the file and went inside... keeping file in front of him she said in a stern tone, "Mr Maheshwari, finance department send this file to get sign for your approval... can you please do the honor..."

Sameer surprised hearing her sarcastic tone and looked at the bills in front of him... he turned his gaze and signed it immediately shifting the file back to her without looking at her...

Naina asked looking firmly in sharp tone, "don't you think you should check before sign... are you sure yeh correct hai..."

Sameer nodded avoiding her questions, "ya... it's correct... please leave I am busy..." she collects the file and turned back to go out murmuring, "kya jarurat thi itni expensive ring kharidane ki... mujhe voh ring dekhni hi nahin chahiye thi... par koi samjhaaye bhi toh kaise... kisi ki sunane ki aadat jo nahin... ziddi kahin ke..."

Seeing her going out Sameer throw the pen in his hand on Pandit, "idiot, saara surprise kharaab kar diya tu ne... yeh bill uske paas kaise gaya... socha tha surprise dunga par usey pehle hi pata chal gaya... dekha kitni bhadak rahi thi... baap re kitna gussa karti hai yeh... ab toh mujhe darr lagne laga hai isase..." he said drinking whole glass of water in one gulp holding his uneven breath seeing her in so much anger...

Pandit laughed seeing his scared face, "haan toh theek hai na, donon ek jaise hi ho... sab teri sangat ka asar hai jo meri bholi bhali si behen Naina devi ban gayi hai... vaise achchha hua usey pata chal gaya varna voh dresses ka surprise dene ke chakkar mein mujhe kitna bhagaya tha... tum donon koi kaam normal tareeke se nahin kar sakte... kharidi hai ring toh ja aur pehna de... us mein itna kya sochna..." he asked casually getting confused that why Sameer thinking so much for a small matter...

Sameer frowned, "rehne de apne ideas... kam se kam teri tarah pehli date par khaane ke baare mein toh nahin soch raha na... vaise hi itni mushkil se sab normal hua hai, abhi force nahin kar sakta... par ab koi nahin, ring kharidi hai toh pehna kar hi rahunga... koi idea sochna padega, aise toh nahin maanegi aaraam se... "

He sighed deeply thinking, "Another Task..." kissing on his screen he winked, "tumhare liye kuchh bhi meri jaan... ab yeh businessman apne dimaag ki nahin, tumhara loverboy sirf apne dil ki sunega..."

Pandit hearing his phone ring picked up the call and left out to attend the person who came to meet him... coming back, he handed a pen drive saying, "here's the proof... I collected all the CCTV... tera shaq lagta hai bilkul sahi tha... let's check..."

Putting it in his laptop they checked all the footages when Sameer gritted his teeth in anger, "see, I was right... yeh usi idiot ka kaam tha... this time I will not spare her at any cost... usaki wajah se Naina ko kitni takleef huyi..." he clenched his fists hard made his blood boiled into his veins, screaming to kill the evil creature at the same moment...

Pandit agreed to confront Kamya who created such a big mess between them, but suddenly Sameer stops him denying the idea, "par nahin... abhi kuchh kaha toh Naina aur disturb ho jaayegi... itani mushkil se uski tabiyat sambhali hai, mein aur koi risk nahin le sakta... but now we have to do something.... Naina trusted her blindly otherwise itni giri harkat karne ke baad bhi voh bach gayi mere haathon se... hamesha hamare beech aane ki koshish karti rahi hai but this time she had gone too far crossing her limits..." his eyes turned darkened feeling so helpless as can't afford to compromise on her health...

Pandit said getting more concerned, "par Sameer, we should not let her go easily... Naina ko hurt na ho isliye agar kuchh nahin kiya toh yeh aage bhi tumhein nuksaan pahuncha sakti hai na... you should talk to Naina on this... shayad ab teri baat sune aur samjhe bhi..."

Sameer denied feeling helpless, "not now... I can't take risk with her health... you know everything... dekha tha na ek hi din mein kya haal ho gaya tha uska... kuchh din rukte hai phir sochenge kya karna hai iska..." Pandit too agreed as they have no choice to keep quiet for her sake... for them Naina's health was the major concern time being...

Naina went to meet Preeti... sitting at café they were chatting when Naina told her about the ring, "dekh maine mana bhi kiya par itni expensive ring khareed li... mujhe nahin chahiye thi..." she tells how he forced her to buy, and she denied taking it...

Preeti scold her, "Naina, tu na bilkul duffer hi hai... ek toh Sameer tujhe itne pyaar se ring pehna rahe the aur tu vahaan se bhaag aayi... kab akkal aayegi tujhe... tera na kuchh nahin ho sakta..."

Naina said with a weak smile, "nahin yaar... tu nahin samjhegi... voh toh sirf Rani Sahiba aur Kamya kuchh na kahe isiliye voh mujhe unke saamne support karte hai... unhein dikhane ke liye sirf ring kharidi hai varna hamara rishta kaisa hai tu jaanti hai na... jab tak hum donon dil se iss rishtey ko nahin apna lete inn sab gifts ki koi value nahin..."

Preeti asked suddenly, "Naina tu ne bataya nahin ki Kamya abhi tak tere ghar mein hi reh rahi hai... I mean voh toh isi shahar ki hai na toh phir tere ghar mein kyun hai abhi tak... tu usko jaane ke liye kyun nahin bolti..."

Naina tells her the reason of her parents out of town for a month when Preeti asked, "are you sure uska koi aur motive nahin hai... I mean dekh bura mat manana, jis tarah se voh hamesha Sameer sir ke aas paas mandarati rehti hai, mujhe toh pehle laga tha ki she is trying to impress him... par ab jab teri shaadi ka pata hai mujhe, toh lagta hai jaise Kamya is really up to something..."

Naina giving a smack on her head, "ab tu mat shuru ho ja... pehle hi Mr Maheshwari, Pandit aur Bela aunty sab yahi kehte hai... dekh mein maanti hun ki voh thoda different behave karti hai par mere saath kabhi dhokha nahin karegi... shayad.." she said last line slowly, seems more trying to convince herself... somewhere she was still having a slight ray of hope in her heart before it shatters completely...

बदलते लोग, बदलते रिश्ते, और बदलता मौसम,चाहे दिखाई ना दे, मगर महसूस जरूर होते हैं

Preeti said with a serious face, "hum sab vahi kehte hai jo dikhta hai... please don't take me wrong, Pandit ne photo wali baat batayi thi mujhe... tujhe dhundhane ke liye usne mujhe phone kiya tha toh saari baat batani padi.... tujhe nahin lagta tujhe pata karna chahiye ki kaun tha iske pichhe... ek chhoti si galatfehmi tumhare rishtey mein kitni badi kadwahat ghol sakti thi... thank god ab sab theek hai par I was really worried about you both... aur phir Sameer sir ka guilt aur unki voh haalat... tum donon ne ek galti ki bohot saza paayi hai... I wish tumhare beech yeh trust ka issue jaldi solve ho jaaye... Pandit ne bataya tu kitni akeli pad gayi thi... kaash mein hoti tere saath toh tujhe itna akela nahin mehsoos hota..."

Naina nodded saying, "hmm... shayad tu theek kehti hai Preeti, par agar hum ek dusre par bharosa nahin karte, hamare beech trust nahin toh rishta toh vaise bhi kamjor hua naa... us mein daraar toh kabhi bhi aa sakti hai... sach kahun mein kitni bhi koshish kar lun par kahin ka kahin mera past mere aaj ke aage aa hi jaata hai... aur mein apna past nahin badal sakti... mere paas koi suboot nahin yeh saabit karne ke liye ki maine kabhi kuchh galat nahin kiya..."

Preeti assured her, "tu chinta mat kar... jis tarah tumhara rishta sudhar raha hai, tum log jaise kareeb aa rahe ho, ek din Sameer tujhpar vishwas bhi karne lag jaayenge... dekhna meri baat jaroor sach hogi..."

Naina smiled expecting her statement to be true, "sach kahun toh kai baar mujhe bhi aisa hi lagta hai par yeh dil ab sapne dekhne se darrne laga hai... jaise hi kuchh theek hota hai koi nayi musibat saamne aa jaati hai... aur ab toh mujhe apne se jyaada Mr Maheshwari ki chinta hone lagi hai... kal jo bhi unki haalat thi, I can't imagine ki koi mere liye, meri maafi ke liye iss hadh tak jaayega... par unhone kiya... shayad purane jakhm na bhar paaye par unke saath ek secure feel aati hai ki ab aur koi dard mujhe chhu bhi nahin paayega, kyunki voh mere saath hai... kyunki hum saath hai... shayad hamesha ke liye..."

Preeti laughed circling her hand around her shoulder, "dekha mein na kehti thi ki pyaar ki baat ek dil se dusre dil tak pakka pahunchengi... bas ab toh dekhna hai ki kaun pehal karta hai... vaise mujhe Sameer sir ki haalat dekh kar lag raha hai ki jyaada din rehne wale nahin ab voh tujhse dur... ek din tu ne baat nahin ki toh khaana peena chhod diya... agli baar kahin sanyasi na ban jaaye tere pyaar mein... log kahenge voh jaa raha hai SS – Sameer Sanyasi..." she said dramatically to tease her..

Naina laughed hitting her on her head playfully, "vaise hi jaise mera bhai bana hua hai tere pyaar mein... log kahenge voh jaa raha hai PP – Paagal Pandit..."

They both laughed making fun of their lover boys, with lots of teasing to each other...

Hope You all liked the update... Next part on Friday...😊
