After spending time with Preeti, Naina was bit relaxed and able to focus on her work back ignoring his rude and harsh behavior towards her... rest of the day went smooth for her, avoiding meeting him any more... again Pandit being mediator...

But the situation for Sameer was even worst... though he tried best to keep Naina out of this mess but she willingly tried to take blame on her... he knew his family would leave no chance to blame her and insult, if they got to know the reality... from core of his heart he knew it was not her fault even... it's he himself who drag her in this mess by mistake... he already apologize her for sending her to Rocky, which was unintended and ready to take all blame on himself to save her...

He blurt out all his frustration on her and again hurt her... but somehow he was trying to save her which again ended up with a new mess... even how much he tried his best but his short temper always hurt her, for which he always feel ashamed later... but other hand Naina is extremely simple and innocent who doesn't understand the real intentions of his family and her own friend... she easily believe on everyone... but that's her innocence, her quality which makes her different from others, which attracts Sameer more...

In evening to avoid more gossips in office, Naina left early before Pandit again offered to accompany her with them in car... she preferred to travel in crowded bus rather than an awkward comfortable drive with Sameer... even after morning incident she was not interested to take any more favors from him as they are not bounded in any relation... reaching home, to avoid seeing him she went straight to meet Chinni and helped her in studies, staying in her room only... rest of the time she spend in sitting at mandir, which always be her solace place, giving her required comfort and strength to handle her messy life...

Her mobile beeped again flooded with lots of messages from unknown number giving her headache... she deleted all without reading and blocked it again... she muttered angrily, "ab kya chahiye Sharad ko... log mujhe chen se jeene kyun nahin dete... Kanhaji, kyun aapne yeh saari musibate meri zindagi mein hi likhi hai... Sharad ne pehle dhokha diya aur ab mere pichhe pada hai... mere paas ab kuchh nahin bacha aur barbaad hone ke liye... uski wajah se Sameerji ke saath chah kar bhi mera rishta kabhi nahin sudharega... mein kabhi unke pariwaar ka ya unki zindagi ka hissa nahin ban paaungi.... jo paap maine kiya nahin uske bojh tale meri saari khushiyaan barbaad ho gayi hai sirf iss Sharad ki wajah se... ab toh usey meri zindagi se dur rakhiye... kaash koi hota jo mera saath deta..."

She reached back at her room late night seeing him already on bed reading some book... she simply lowered her head to ignore him and took her clothes to change, going into bathroom... she stayed long there expecting him to sleep till she came out... but to her bad luck, he was still awake but luckily engrossed in reading... she was in no mood for any more discussion which always turned up in another fight... another heated argument with his rude behavior in conference room and after continuous messages from Sharad already messed up her mind...

She moved towards her bed when he called her in same cold tone, "come here..." she walked to him looking down as doesn't want to get into any more argument with him at this hour of time... he handed her an envelope keeping his eyes fixed on the book only...

She took it from his hand reluctantly and opened to see bank debit and credit cards inside the envelop... she asked surprisingly, "iska kya karun..." she assumed as his assistant she has to maintain his accounts also but was totally clueless how to do it...

Sameer remain keeping his eyes in book replied, "it's for you... all family member's has personal account in this bank, and we use it for our personal expenses... so it's all yours..." he said casually in his rough tone... after she left from office and traveled through bus, he realized she must be in short of money and will surely not going to take his help....

She replied with a faint smirk, "for family... correct...?"

He lifted his eyes to looked her strangely on her tone, when she added firmly, "so in this case Mr Maheshwari, it doesn't belong to me at all.... I can't keep it... thanks but no thanks..." saying this she kept it back on his side table and turned to go to her bed...

Sameer said harshly getting angry, "and what do you mean by this... I know you don't have much money, so what's the ego issue here..." at a pause he looked at her suspiciously thinking, "why she is so egoistic... har baat pakad kar baith jaati hai... isey samajh kyun nahin aata ki isse safeguard karna chahta tha mein... office ke kaam ke alawa kahin aur dimaag kyun nahin chalta iska... iss haal mein roj bus mein travel karti hai, kam se kam cab toh hire kar sakti thi apne liye... kuchh ho jata toh kaun jawaab deta... par nahin adventures karne se fursat mile toh na..."

Naina knew that Sameer always consider her as a materialistic person. If she accepts his money, then in his eyes her image as such a person would-be set-in stone... Naina felt the faint anger starting to boil up inside her recalling how he insulted her in conference room...

She turned to him with a piercing look, "sorry Mr Maheshwari, but I don't need your money at all... if you forget, let me remind you ki aaj subah hi aapne mujhe yaad dilaya hai ki I am not a part of your family... so why this favor... aur rahi baat mere bank balance ki toh don't forget I am working in your company as your assistant and surely will get my salary by this month end as per my offer letter... so you don't need to worry about my expenses.. I will manage by my own..." she said keeping herself cool as much as possible....

Sameer then spoke irritatingly, "are you trying to say that your salary is good enough for you... don't make a joke of yourself... this card has monthly balance of 20 lacs... so you can spend as much as you want... hope not at least less for you... or if you want you can add more into it..." he said trying to keep his voice as soft as possible controlling his anger on her stubbornness...

She formed her fists into a ball and tried to calm her raging nerves... but instead of shouting and giving him a death glare, she smiled sarcastically, which would get into his nerves, "don't you think so ki mujh jaisi gold digger, cunning, characterless aur divorced ladki ke liye yeh rakam bohot kam hai... I thought you are a smart businessman, but you disappoint me this time..."

Seeing his frown face she added, "seems you underestimate me Mr Maheshwari... don't forget I have so many other ways also to earn much more that this petty amount... like you said earlier... so no thanks for this small favor on me..." she chuckled slightly making him shocked...

Sameer was speechless... suddenly he felt a pain on his face as if he was slapped by himself...

Naina turned to her bed and slept keeping her back towards him... keeping his book aside he looked at her feeling guilty but has no words to say it... later he too slept after another mess created by his harsh words... he reprimands himself for his own behavior which always spoiled their terms.... if he wants to help her, he should be polite but doesn't know what happened and he react like to tease her which hurts her more...

During mid night, Naina woke up feeling hungry as she has not had much in dinner after reaching home... and their another argue makes her more restless... she stood up without making any noise and went out of her room to check something available in kitchen...

Since she has visited kitchen rarely till date, she was not aware of the things kept and all the servants were already slept... she preferred to prepare tea for herself and find some biscuits in a shelf...

She realized that during pregnancy it might occur regularly and make a mental note to start keeping some readymade food items with her always...

She stepped inside their room tip toed to her bed without making any noise to disturb him... the moment she sits on her bed heard his voice making her shuddered, "is it enough to have tea and biscuit during midnight... if you are hungry than why not to ask someone to cook for you..."

She looked down feeling embarrassed and stop eating when saw him also sitting back... he switches on the lights in room seeing her embarrassed looks... she replied instantly, "sorry, aapki neend kharaab kar di... suddenly I felt hungry, and I don't want to disturb anyone at this time... so..."

She stood picking up tray in hand to go out from room, "aap so jaaiye, mein baahar chali jaati hun..." she doesn't want herself to get insulted again from him...

She stepped to go out from room when he called her back, "stop... you don't need to go anywhere... this is your room also..." saying this he dialed a number and order servants to send fresh homely, cooked food with fruits and juice...

She still looking him surprisingly that even after having lots of differences and fights between them, he always be there to support her, to care for her...

Soon servant came with so many food items and fruits for her... he gestured her to eat whatever she like... he himself was confused earlier what to order for her as not aware of her likings... but knew even if he will ask her now, she is not going to reply seeing her anger on him when he gave her bank cards...

Naina was still in daze and keep staring the tray filled with so many varieties... she has always low appetite and she hardly eats anything... moreover getting disturbed by his intense gaze on her... seeing her so hesitant he called her in his usual tone, "come here..."

She brings the tray expecting he also might want to eat thinking, "lagta hai inko bhi raat mein bhukh lagti hai... I should have asked him earlier..."

She stood near his bed when he holds her hand softly and make her sit in front of her... taking food from plate he starts feeding her without saying anything... he was quietly looking at her seeing eating like an innocent baby...

Naina asked slowly, "aap khayenge..." before he replied, she lifts her hand to feed him some fruits... he accepted silently as doesn't want to deny and make her upset now for anything...

Soon finishing the food, she kept the tray on side table and went to her bed... sitting there she said softly, "thanks for today... but promise mein aage se kabhi aapko disturb nahin karungi raat mein..." saying this she laid down on her bed keeping her eyes closed... he keeps staring her cute innocent face, filling warmth inside his heart... even though he failed in giving her financial support, but at least he won't let her sleep empty stomach... soon they both slept peacefully...

Early morning Naina woke up as per her daily routine and went to mandir... till she came back he was not in the room... she went to her bed and surprised to see a small food trolley placed there carrying variety of food items, top shelf was carrying all fresh fruits and in lower shelfs there were variety of packed snacks, dry fruits, juices and chocolates...

She was looking at them and turned to see him coming inside... she stepped towards him happily, "thanks... par itne sab ki jarurat nahin thi... mein roj aise nahin khaati aadhi raat ko... voh toh achanak kal raat...." she feels shy saying all these changes are due to her pregnancy...

He looked at her with his usual cold expressions focusing his eyes on his mobile, "it's okay... anyways I don't want people to get chance to gossip about your health... see, I was not concern about you, but I can't take blame of not taking care of you properly... tell me if needed anything but no need to roam around in house at midnight..."

Her face turned gloomy seeing his cold expression.... her happiness did not last long, all thanks to his cold reply...

She mentally slapped herself thinking, "tu ne kya socha ki inko teri chinta hai... how could you be so stupid Naina.... its again just about his own reputation and family name... after all, tu yahaan sirf kuchh dinon ke liye hi hai... agar tujhe kuchh hua toh log inhein iljaam denge..."

Holding her tears back she said slowly, "but still... thanks for your gesture Mr Maheshwari... but promise I will not bother you anymore in future... even if I die..." she said last line slowly but audible to Sameer.... before he said further, she rushed to bathroom to change her clothes for office...

He didn't want to hurt her but again doesn't want to show his soft corner to her... but didn't expect her to get upset so much... he waited for her to come out to clarify... suddenly he received an unexpected video call with one of their foreign investors which he can't deny attending now...

Naina came out all dressed, seeing him still sitting there attending some video call... she silently took her purse and left for office, avoid going with him...

She met Pandit outside the room... seeing her face he got confused as expected her to be happy for all arrangements done by Sameer for her... but remain silent as doesn't want to talk between their personal matter... he greeted her, "hi, good morning, we are also leaving in few minutes... wait, will go together..." he tried to offer her to go with them...

She replied politely, "thanks but no need... I don't want to spoil my habit by taking undue favors from strangers... I know how to manage my life by my own... but thanks once again for your offer..." saying adamantly she hurriedly left even without having her breakfast...

Pandit came inside seeing Sameer finishing his call... he looked at his gloomy face realize surely, they must have argued on something... he asked keeping his hands on his chest glaring him, "now what... ab kya kaha tu ne usko... agar yeh sab arrange kiya tha toh thoda pyaar se nahin kah sakta tha..."

Sameer said in a complaining tone, "haan toh usko nahin dikhta yeh sab... ek toh idiots ki tarah raat ko aaadhi neend mein uth kar stairs se neeche chali gayi... ghar mein lift hai par madam ko sirf stairs chahiye... bachchi hai jo itni si baat samajh nahin aati ki iss haal men kitna risky ho sakta hai uske liye... agar gir jaati toh... aur yeh sab arrange maine thanks sunane ke liye nahin kiya tha... kal bhi bank cards offer kiye toh madam ne taane maar diye... hum paraye hai kya jo thanks bol rahi thi... aur uppar se baatein suna kar chali gayi... even if I die..." he mimicked like her feeling more irritated...

Pandit giving a hard glare scold him, "you know... you are too useless... tera kuchh nahin ho sakta... har baat ko ek businessman ki tarah sochta hai... idiot, yeh koi business deal thi jiske liye voh appreciation letter bhejegi tujhe... normal log ek dsure ko thanks kehte hai toh ismein galat kyaa hai... tujhe thanks aur sorry kehne ki aadat nahin is mein kisi aur ki kya galti... abnormal Maheshwari... huh..."

Sameer opened his mouth to say something but shut his mouth instantly as doesn't want more lecture from his friend, who was ready to scold him more... he was already dishearten hearing her last words...

Naina went out but surprised to see Kamya's car entering from the gate... she was shocked to see her here at this time, without even calling her...

Kamya gets down and hugged her excitedly, "achchha huaa mein time par aa gayi.. mujhe laga tu kahin nikal na jaaye... kaisa laga mera surprise..."

Naina smiled hesitantly and asked, "par tu itni subah yahaan kaise... I mean kuchh kaam tha toh hum kahin baahar mil lete na... tu ne phone bhi nahin kiya aane se pehle..."

Kamya smiled widely, "tujhe surprise jo dena tha... dekh jabse teri shaadi huyi hai tujhse milne tere pariwaar se yahaan koi nahin aata... toh inn logon ko aisa naa lage ki tu akeli hai... bas isiliye mein aati jaati rahungi toh tujhe akela feel nahin hoga... tu nahin samajhti Naina, inn baaton se kitna asar padta hai... but don't worry mein hoon na tere saath..."

Naina didn't get any reason to take this of her excuse as Kamya is very well aware that she is getting divorced soon... so, what's the point of all these formalities... she had never seen Kamya behaving like this earlier in her entire life... so what's the difference now...

She holds her hand softly, "thanks Kamya, par is sabki jarurat nahin hai... par ab tu aa hi gayi hai toh chal kahin baahar coffee peete hai... mera man bhi kar raha tha..."

Before Kamya replied they heard a voice behind, "that's a nice idea... yahaan paas mein hi ek naya café open hua hai... I heard they had so many varieties for breakfast... it's a nice place to enjoy at this hour..." Naina turned to see Sameer was there few steps behind her along with Pandit...

Kamya grinned, "hi, morning Sameer... its really nice meeting you... in fact we were about to ask you to come with us... why don't you join us for breakfast... it will be a nice outing for all..."

Sameer's eyes were fixed on Naina, who was standing there totally shocked with the moves going around... he asked her politely with an evil smirk, "I thought you two wants to spend time alone... but hope you don't mind me joining you both..."

Kamya said happily, "not at all Sameer... lets go in my car... it's a treat from my side... aakhir aapke saath time spent karne ko kahaan milta hai aasani se... after all you are a busy man..."

Sameer smiled sheepishly, "that's my pleasure Kamya... but please allow me to honor you... after all you are my wife's best friend... right?" he said stressing on word best friend taking Naina out of her trance...

Naina looked at him surprisingly recalling his words that he will surely welcome if Kamya approached him in future... is this happening in real, making her shocked more... what are these two up to now and what is she doing here in between them.... a complete mess...

Naina was still stood rooted there when her trance broke hearing him, "Kamya you go ahead... we will join you there... I want to have some private talks with my dear wife..." her mind felt numb, not understanding what to do next... and what he wants now.... few minutes back they fight and now he is calling her "dear wife" so lovingly... again just to show-off...

Unwillingly Kamya agreed when Sameer giving keys to Naina asking, "will you drive for me today... I had seen, you are a fantastic driver..." he said with a sarcastic tone...

Naina looked at him with an expressionless face and silently took the keys from his hand as no point to argue with him... she initially wanted to ignore him but now she has to go all alone with him driving his car...

Next update very soon... enjoy
