Sameer's heartbeat thumped seeing Naina's eagerness in her eyes... assuming is she is going to ask about his feelings for her... he has planned a perfect day to reveal his feelings but can't deny her anymore if she asked now...

Naina gaining courage asked, "aapse kuchh puchhna tha... but if you don't feel like to answer, I am okay with it... I really don't want to force you for anything...." though she had planned this night out for them to spend and earn some memorable moments but couldn't hold her curiosity to ask him anymore, whatever was going in her mind...

Holding his breathe he plastered a smile nodding her, "don't worry, maine kaha na tum mujhse kuchh bhi puchh sakti ho and believe me mein bhi tumse kuchh nahin chhupana chahta..."

Naina finding him calm and not opposing her asked, "aapko mere past ke baare mein itna sab kaise pata tha... shaadi ke pehle se ya...?" she has no clue that the matters which were unknown to Naina about her own life were known to Sameer before her... since the day she was awaked this matter keep roaming in her mind but since he himself never raised this matter nor discuss with her, she also decided to remain quiet...

Sameer smiled caressing her cheeks, "I was expecting this for so long... mujhe pata tha tum janana chahogi aur sach kahun agar uss din tum mujhse dur nahin jaati toh mein khud tumhein sab bata deta... Naina yeh tumhari zindagi hai, jo ab tak ek jhuth, ek dhokhe mein kat rahi thi aur tumhein poora haq hai sach janane ka... mein bas uss waqt ke intzaar mein tha jab tum yeh sab sun kar sahan kar paao lekin usase pehle hi tumhein sab pata chal gaya aur tum..." he paused recalling the most dreadful day of his life when he was almost on urge of losing her..

Naina blinked her eyes smilingly keeping her hand on his, "ab mujh mein sab sunane ki himmat hai... dariye mat mujhe kuchh nahin hoga..." she said seeing him so much hesitate to initiate this discussion again as doesn't want to hurt her...

Sameer smiled assuring her, "Naina, yakeen maano maine tumhare past ke baare mein sab pata kiya tha lekin kisi shaq ya gusse ki wajah se nahin... mein sirf tumhein janana chahta tha... tumhari aankhon mein dard mehsoos kiya tha maine lekin maloom tha tum mujhse share nahin karogi kyunki hum donon ka rishta bohot uljha hua tha... uss waqt mujh par yakeen karna tumhare liye bhi mushkil tha... mein sirf tumhein uss takleef uss dard se bachana chahta tha jo tumhein andar se kamjor kar rahi thi..."

He stops feeling a shiver in his spine thinking what all she had bear after knowing the truth... after a long he was succeeded in getting her smile back... is he really ready to take this risk again?

Naina feels content in her heart knowing his concern for her even when they were not in good terms... the way he always scolds her, humiliate her, she can never be expect him to be so thoughtful for her, "lekin ab toh aapko yakeen hai na ki mein aap par kitna trust karti hoon... mein sirf sach janana chahti hoon iska matlabe yeh nahin ki mujhe aap par shaq hai... mujhe maloom hai aap kabhi mujhse jhuth nahin bolte... aur jab tak aap mere saath hai mujhe kisi baat se darr nahin lagta..."

Sameer looked at her curious face knew that it's time to reveal so many matters to her, "Naina ab toh tum jaanti hi ho ki jab hamari shaadi huyi mein uske liye ready nahin tha... isi wajah se tumhein itna pareshaan kiya, itna rulaya maine... yakeen maano mein hamesha sharminda rahunga uss baat ke liye... tumhara gunahgaar hoon toh jo saza dogi manjoor hogi... bhale hi aane wale waqt mein hum zindagi mein har Khushi paa le, lekin yeh guilt mujh mein hamesha rahega ki ek waqt sirf meri wajah se tumhari aankhon mein aansu the..." his own eyes turned wet recalling how initially he makes her suffer even when she was nowhere at fault...

He explained further, "when we first met, I got hurt with your reaction... I thought you were pretending fake that you are not aware with whom you got married... but it surprises me more when I realize that you didn't even knew my name... how could you have not read my name before signing on marriage certificate... later I had seen you many times struggling with your night mares and seems you were accustomed to that... it was very strange knowing that how can a girl get married to a person without even knowing his name and that really goes unsettle with me..."

He smiled, "I asked Pandit to enquire about your past and after few days he gave me a file with all your past history... it was included with the truth of your parents, your 6 months contract marriage with Sharad, reason for your divorce, your father's Will which he makes before he dies and about the Trust who handle your expenses till you were 21 years... I was shocked knowing in which circumstances your fake parents betrayed you and took signature on our marriage certificate, without even telling you about me... then only I realized that you were nowhere at fault... we both were the victim of our fake parents plan but luckily we met and now..." he stopped seeing her so lost in his words...

Naina asked suddenly, "but how did Pandit bhai knew this... I mean unhein kisne bataya... kya koi hai aisa jo mere parents ko jaanta tha ya koi relative..." she asked expecting to meet some of her relative who might be still alive... this might give her a chance to know more about her birth parents...

Sameer shook his head, "nahin... I mean koi aisa toh nahin tha jo tumhare parents ka dost ya relative ho but yeh sab baatein khud Naresh Agarwal ne humein bataayi... you know he is a drunkard... toh uski issi kamjori ka fayda utha kar ek din Pandit ne plan karke usase sab sach jaan liya jab usey hosh bhi nahin tha... agar uske munh se nahin suna hota toh shayad hum bhi yakeen nahin kar paate lekin voh sharaab ke nashe mein itna behosh tha ki usey khud pata nahin chala ki usne hamare aadmi ko sab bata diya... usne khud apne saare gunaah humein bataye... humein iss baat se jyaada hairani huyi ki usey inn baaton ka koi afsos bhi nahin tha... unke liye tum sirf paise kamane ka ak jariya ban gayi thi... sirf isiliye maine kabhi tumhare ghar, past ka jikra nahin kiya, na kabhi tumhein mauka diya ki tum apne parents se milne jaao... tumhein unse dur rakhne ke alaawa mere paas aur koi raasta nahin tha kyunki tum sach sunane ki haalat mein nahin thi aur na hi mujh par yakeen karti..."

Naina was all dishearten feeling sad when Sameer tried to coax her, "Naina, jo hua usey hum badal nahin sakte aur na hi unn logon ki ghatiya soch ko... tum ek bachchi thi jise kuchh hosh nahin tha toh apne aap ko inn sab baaton ke liye dosh dena galat hoga na... aur tumhein toh khush hona chahiye ki jinhone tumhein janam diya, tumhare asli parents itne achchhe insaan the... I mean Beena aur Naresh jaise ghatiya logon se tumhara koi vaasta nahin aur tum mein toh saari qualities apne parents ki hai... vahi saaf sachchha dil, vahi business mind, vahi intelligence..."

Naina looks him amazingly that how easily he manages to wipe out all negative thoughts from her mind... seeing a brighter side of the picture, he was indeed right to not to waste life on meaningless and cunning relations... they should cherish this moment and look forward for their bright future ahead...

Seeing her still quiet, he smirks naughtily squeezing her nose, "haan bas ek baat alag hai tumhari unse... I mean maine photo dekhi thi and I must say ki tumhari smile bilkul tumhari Maa ki tarah hai, lekin jab roti ho toh kabhi kabhi bhutani jaisi lagti... ho itne lambe lambe aansuon ke saath... aur jab gussa karti ho toh bilkul jaise Naina Devi ka roop..." he laughed loudly making fun of her to pull her out from all her pains... he doesn't want her to think more about her past which hurts her... they both cannot change their past and it was time to move on ahead in their life, together...

Naina punch playfully to his chest, "haww... mein aapko bhutani jaisi lagti hoon... kitne bure hai aap... mein aapse baat hi nahin karungi ab..." she was about to get up to move away from him showing her fake anger, when feel a sudden pull on her wrist and in next moment she was lying in his arms... his eyes were glued on adoring her serene face, "baat mat karo toh bhi chalega lekin aankhon ke saamne se mat jaana... tumhein nahin bata sakta kitna akela ho jaata hoon tumhare bina mein... mein nahin sah sakta tumse ek pal ki bhi duri..." his voice turned hoarse making her heart rushed frantically...

His voice brought a churning feeling inside her stomach... with her close proximity, she can feel his touch on every inch of her body.... her face heated up like a furnace with his soft touch on her face... he softly caressed her cheeks with the back of his fingers spreading tingling all over her skin... she was all lost looking at him that how easily his one touch makes her insane... she found herself spellbound in his unknown spell...

Naina suddenly feeling something metallic around her finger looked down and surprised to see a diamond ring in her finger... slipping in her slender finger Sameer softly bend to kiss on it smilingly, "please aaj mana mat karna... I really wish to give you this ring... tumne jo aaj mujhe surprise diya yeh sab plan karke, Nanu ko jo Khushi di unke birthday par uske aage mera yeh chhota sa return gift kuchh bhi nahin..." he was still scared remembering how she had reacted when he purchased it for her and after that never got chance to give her... this day seems to be a boom in their relation and he wants to make her feel special...

Naina was surprised seeing the same ring which he bought from the jeweler opposite to her wish... she assumes his action earlier to just show-off in front of Vishakha and Kamya, but he gifted it to her today showing his gratitude...

He kissed next to her forehead saying, "it looks now worth in your finger and more beautiful than before... don't ever remove it... please" she shivered, and goosebumps made itself known to her body, he lowered his head and gently touch his lips to her neck... she closed her eyes to savor the moment... "you are very beautiful" he whispers leaving a blissful smile appeared on her lips...

Naina stayed in his arms for a long as no words were spoken but they derived pleasure from the silence... they remain stayed in each other embrace hearing the soft rhythm of their heart beats... a pure blissful moment...

Breaking the silence, he caressed her head resting on his chest asking, "Naina, tum khush toh ho na... I know tumhein Nanu se milna achchha lagega isiliye bina tumse puchhe maine yeh plan bana liya tha... lekin voh sirf mera decision tha aur maine tumse puchha nahin ki tum kahaan jaana chahti ho... promise nect time jahaan tum kahogi vahaan chalenge..."

Naina replied without even looking at him, "mujhe maloom hai mein jis haal mein thi aap mujhe sirf khush dekhna chahte the... mujhe ek pariwaar ki feeling dena chahte the aur uske liye Nanu ke paas aane se jyaada best idea koi ho hi nahin sakta tha... mujhe maloom hai yeh sab aapne mere liye hi kiya tha toh achchha kaise nahin lagta..." a tinge of pain crossed her recalling how she got affected with Vishakha's word and tried to take her life in worst state of mind hurting him to the core...

She smiled for his sake, "Nanu ke birthday par toh humein aana hi tha na... aaj sach mein unka birthday celebrate karke ek alag hi khushi mili mujhe... yahaan aakar mehsoos hua ki ek pariwaar kya hota hai... jis tarah aaj Nanu ne mujhse pooja karwayi, mujhe iss ghar ka hissa banaya, maine aisa kabhi pehle feel nahin kiya tha... aaj mehsoos hua kisi bade ka saath, unka aashirwaad kya hota hai... aur Arjun bhaiya, Shefali bhabhi, Kaanji bhaiya... sach mein sab kitne achchhe hai na... humse kitna pyaar karte hai..."

Sameer laughed on her innocence, "hmm... ab tumhare bhaiyon ki fauz se toh darr ke rehna padega... dekho ek hi baar kehne par tumhari khushi ke liye kya arrangement kiya hai jaane se pehle..." he said roaming his eyes on the beautiful decoration they all did for them...

Naina smiled correcting him, "meri nahin... hamari Khushi ke liye"

They were chatting in between Sameer informed her about Amrita and Karthik... how Karthik supports him when she was in hospital... how much he supported to handle official matters to relieve him and let him stay with her in hospital throughout...

Naina asked, "par Karthink bhaiya yahaan nahin aaye... I mean Nanu unke bhi toh Dadaji hai..."

Sameer replied with a faint smile, "hmm hain toh par tum jaanti ho na Mrs Maheshwari ko... unhone kabhi Karthik ko Nanu aur mere kareeb nahin aane diya... voh toh vaise bhi humein apna pariwaar nahin samajhti aur mujhse toh unki nafarat ki koi intehaan hi nahin hai..." he said with a bitter smile on his face...

Naina's face turned pale slightly thinking if she should ask him whatever is in her mind for so long... knowing Sameer never hide anything from her she asked hesitantly, "ek... ek baat batayenge... Nanu ne mujhe bataya ki Maa ke saath kya hua tha... aur aapke bachpan ke baare mein bhi sab kuchh..."

Sameer suddenly feel uneasy as he never discussed with anyone about his past... Naina hold his stiff hands making him calm... seeing her innocent eyes he controls his emotions asking politely, "aur kya bataya Nanu ne... mujhe laga hi tha ki Nanu tumhein sab bata denge... lagta hai mere dil ke saare raaz, saare dard bata diye Nanu ne tumko..." he was not aware earlier that Nanu has revealed his complete past to her... but seeing there bonding he suspects but never raised this matter with any of them... he was more elated seeing the close bonding of two most important people of his life...

Naina tried to make him comfortable, "I mean agar aap nahin chahte toh mein aapse kuchh nahin kahungi... It's okay, I don't want you to get uncomfortable for anything..."

Sameer smiled seeing her so much concerned for her, "Naina aisi baat nahin par yakeen maano aaj tak maine kabhi kisi ke saath voh sab discuss nahin kiya... Nanu ke saath bhi nahin... mein manta hoon ki sab mere apne hai par mere dard se auron ka dard sirf aur badega kyunki kuchh baatein hamare haath mein nahin hoti... kismat kab kise kaise dhokha deti hai yeh samajhna mushkil hai aur mera toh poora bachpan apno ke dhokhe ke saath beeta hai..."

Naina looking down on her entwined hands asked, "aapko lagta hai ki aapke accident mein Rani Sahiba ka haath..." she stopped as doesn't get words to explain her fear which she always felt... she always gets negative vibes from Vishakha and always suspect her to be behind all his miseries... after talking with Nanu about his childhood and past, her doubts get more firmed now...

Sameer looked at her shockingly as never expected her to think in this way... he said instantly, "Naina... tum... I mean tumhein kisne kaha and promise me tum kabhi iss baare mein kisi aur se baat nahin karogi... aur... aur yeh sab baatein sochogi bhi nahin... you... you just stay away from all this..." he felt scared of mere thought that what if Naina also got hurt if she indulged herself in this matter anymore... he knows till what extent Vishakha can go to take revenge or hurt her enemies...

Naina asked looking at his scary face, "matlab mera shaq sahi tha na... yeh sab Rani Sahiba ne..."

Sameer keep his finger on her mouth, "shh... maine mana kiya na... tum nahin samjhti yeh sab kitna uljha hua hai aur mein tumhein kisi bhi takleef mein nahin dekhna chahta... mere saath jo hua maine bardasht kiya lekin tumhein kuchh hua toh..." he pulled her tightly in his hug as doesn't want her to be stay away from himself even an inch... he feels like to lose her if she stays away from him... she can feel his heartbeat pounding hard in fear...

Naina rubbing his back tried to soothe his uneven breath but doesn't want to leave this topic anymore... feeling his breath relaxed, she asked concernedly, "aapne Nanu ko kyun nahin bataya... voh the na aapke saath... mein samajh sakti hoon kitni takleef sahi hogi aapne yeh sab akele sehte huye... yeh aapki poori zindagi ka sawaal tha... maana voh aapse pyaar nahin karti lekin itni nafarat..."

Sameer replied keeping her still in his tight hug, "kaise batata Naina... jab mujhe pata chala ki Nanu ko mere accident ki wajah se heart attack aaya tha aur voh coma mein the toh jaise meri saansein hi ruk si gayi thi... Nanu ke alawa mera kaun tha jise mein apna kah sakta... bhale hi unhone Mrs Maheshwari ko kabhi apna pariwaar nahin maana par iss baat se inkaar bhi nahin kar sakte the ki meri mummy se divorce ke baad voh Mr Vivek Maheshwari ki legal wife thi... Maheshwari's ka naam juda tha unke saath.... maine dekha hai Nanu ko akele mein rote huye, apne bete ki mout ka gam hum sabse chhupate huye... mein unhein aur dukh nahin dena chahta tha isliye jab mujhe baad mein iss accident ki wajah pati chali toh maine khud uss case ko withdraw kar liya tha... sirf Munna Pandit iss baare mein janate hai..."

He said parted slightly away from her, "Naina mere liye mere Nanu mera pariwaar, mere Mummy Papa sab kuchh hai... mein kaise unhein itna bada dukh de sakta tha ki unke apne pariwaar mein ek dusre ke khilaaf yeh sab saajishen ho rahi hai... socho unhein kaisa lagta jab duniya ke saamne hamare khandaan ka naam uchhala jaata... mein apna accident toh sah gaya lekin Nanu ko kuchh ho jaata toh nahin sah sakta tha... mere accident ki khabar sunkar Nanu ko pehla attack hua tha... voh kamjor the aur mein apni wajah se unke liye aur mushkilen kaise badata..." his eye got brimmed with a thought of losing Nanu, who is his only family....

Naina wiped his tears, "aapko pata hai Nanu sahi kehte hai ki aap unki jaan ho, unka abhimaan ho, unhi ki parchhayi ho... varna apni zindagi barbaad karen wale ko itani aasani se chhod dena koi aasan baat nahin... aapka dil bohot bada hai isiliye toh aapne itna sab hone ke bawjood bhi Karthik bhaiya ko apnaya... lekin Rani Sahiba ko unke kiye ki saza toh milani hi chahiye thi..." she said in anger that how can she stoop so low and tried to kill him...

Sameer seeing Naina's anger feels more scared, "Naina, maine kaha na ki tum inn sab mein mat pado... I know yeh bhulna aasaan nahin par yakeen maano jo insaan mujhe maarne ki koshish kar sakta hai voh tumhari zindagi kitni mushkil bana sakta hai... isiliye mein tumhein hamesha unse dur rakhta tha kyunki mein jaanta hoon jo unke raaste mein aaye uska saath voh kya kar sakti hai... voh mujhse darrti hai kyunki unke khilaaf saare sabot aaj bhi mere paas hai... lekin voh yeh bhi jaanti hai ki Nanu meri kamjori hai jinki wajah se mein aaj tak chup hoon... au isi baat ka fayda voh hamesha uthati hai..."

Naina looked him in disbelief thinking, "yeh hamesha se mujhe bachate aaye hai aur maine inhein kitna galat samjha... Kamya aur Rani Sahiba jaise logon ki baaton mein aakar maine inka kitna dil dukhaya hai"

Naina asked in confusion, "toh aap unke saath uss ghar mein kyun rehte ho... I mean voh aapko phir se nuksaan pahuncha sakti hai na" she feels insecure as staying under same roof can give Vishakha more ways to hurt him...

Sameer smiled, "voh aisa karne ke baare mein soch bhi nahin sakti kyunki unke khilaaf saare sabot aaj bhi mere paas hai aur unhein pata hai ki mujhe kuchh bhi hua toh Munna aur Pandit unka kya haal kar sakte hai... ek tarah se dekha jaaye toh jab tak mein theek hoon voh safe hai apne gunaaho ke saath.... aur tumhein yaad ho toh she is not even allowed easily towards my portion of house... aur rahi baat mujhe dobara nuksaan pahunchane ki toh don't forget I am Sameer Maheshwari... pehle jo bhi hua usase mein anjaan tha kyunki kabhi nahin socha tha ki voh iss hadd tak gir sakti hai... lekin ab aisa dobara karne ki voh kabhi soch bhi nahin sakti... mere accident ke baad se tumhein nahin pata ki Pandit ne kitni tight security kar rakhi hai mere chaaron taraf... ghar mein jagah jagah par cctv cameras hai aur mere khaane peene ka saara dhyaan Pandit khud rakhta tha... tumhare aane se pehle..."

He pinches her nose playfully, "aur ab tum ho na meri personal cook jo itane pyaar se mere liye khud khaana banati ho... aur jab se hamari shaadi huyi hai meri nazar unki har harkat par hai taaki voh kabhi tumhein nuksaan na pahuncha sake... mein khud ko nahin bacha saka kyunki mujhe ummid nahin thi ki unki nafarat iss had tak jayegi, lekin tumhein kuchh nahin hone de sakta... just trust me and don't worry much for this matter... now I know how to handle her..." he smiled naughtily to comfort her...

Naina smiled, "I know, and I trust you more than anyone in this world... bachpan se har rishtey mein dhokha mila hai lekin dil kehta hai ki aap kabhi mujhe dhokha nahin denge... kisi bhi haal mein nahin"

Sameer hold her hand firmly, "thanks Naina mujh par itna trust karne ke liye... but promise me agar tumhein kabhi bhi kisi bhi baat par shaq ho ya lage ki voh galat hai tum mujhse pehle baat karogi... mein manta hoon zindagi mein kai mod aate hai jab humara vishwas khud par se bhi uth jaata hai lekin yakeen maano mein tumhare vishwas ko kabhi galat saabit nahin hone dunga"

Kabhi Tum Puchh Lena, Kabhi Hum bhi Zikra Kar Lenge

Chhupa Kar Dil Ke Dard Ko, Ek Dusre Ki Fikra Kar Lenge...

They were both lost in each other, giving a life-long promise to stay together when Sameer mobile beeped with some notifications... he reluctantly picked up and read the message as the message was displayed on his personal ID which is known to very less people... until and unless something extremely urgent no one send message on this ID... his expressions suddenly changed from relax to nervousness and tensed...
