After chatting with Preeti, Naina coming back to her desk tried a lot to concentrate on her work but all failed... she was so lost in her pain from last two days, that didn't get time to think that who can be the person who send these pictures to Sameer to create misunderstanding between them... whatever be their relation is, but no one has any rights to interfere and create differences in them... hurts more thinking someone was again trying to defame her...

She feels hesitated to go and asked Sameer but finally keeping all her thoughts aside decided to not let go off the person this time whosoever it is... seeing time, she prepared his coffee and went inside... keeping the mug on table she stood there only waiting for him to free from call...

Sameer seeing her bit disturbed, quickly finishes off his call and asked concernedly, "what happened... why are you so tensed...?"

Naina looked at him and replied hesitantly, "voh... mujhe... I mean mujhe aapse kuchh puchhna tha..." she sits in front of him fidgeting her dupatta in her hand nervously...

Sameer confused on sudden change in her behavior replied softly, "it's okay Naina... you can ask anything from me... don't hesitate and get tensed..." his soft and concerned voice makes her calm and relaxed to discuss on this sensitive issue...

She asked looking down, "aapko ... I mean... voh photos... voh kahaan se aayi... uss din... kisne di thi..."

Sameer got shocked as not expected her to ask... he doesn't want to give her tension further on and doesn't want to drag this matter anymore... though he himself was guilty on his own behavior but knew very well that how much she will be shattered knowing the complete truth... but seeing her expression he was sure that this time she is adamant to know this...

Sameer came to her side sitting in front of her... to divert her mind he said, "Naina, I am already sorry for my behavior... tumhari maafi ke liye mein kuchh bhi kar sakta hun... I know I hurt you badly but please tum apne aap ko yeh sab soch kar aur pareshaan mat karo... jo hua mein usey badal nahin sakta par I promise aage se aisa kabhi nahin hoga... I really trust you... please believe me one more time..."

Naina looked into his eyes straight asking, "matlab aapko sach pata hai ki yeh pictures aapko kisne di thi aur aap mujhe batana nahin chahte... par please mujhe bhi janana hai..." her voice was firm and adamant...

Sameer hold her hand firmly in his, "Naina, it's really not important anymore until we both trusts each other... right... believe me it's all my fault only... I should have thought thousand times before blaming you... you know how short tempered I am... bina soche samjhe react kar deta hoon par trust me aisa dobara kabhi nahin hoga... agar ho toh tum jo saza dogi mujhe manjoor hogi..."

Naina smiled, "mein aapse naraaj nahin hun... mujhe sirf sach janana hai aur itna haq toh hai na mera bhi... aur mujhe maloom hai aap sach jaante hai... sirf mujhe nahin bata rahe... please, it's a request..." she said with a pleading eye, getting adamant to know the truth...

Sameer seeing no chance to convince her, pulled out the pen drive from his blazer pocket and handed her, "is mein saare saboot hai... I know it will hurt you but believe me it's true... and don't ever forget that I am always with you..." he knew the outcome will be worst and might affect her health again but can't deny her anymore...

Naina handed back the pen drive to him surprising him more, "mujhe sirf aapse naam janana hai... kal aapne hi kaha tha naa ki you trust me, so that's what I do also... I don't need any proof from you to believe on... I know aap mujhse kabhi jhuth nahin kahenge... just tell me the name only..." she said with a confidence in her voice making him smile inwardly thinking, "she trusts me..."

Sameer said looking down, "but I need a promise from you... tumhein jab bhi koi baat pareshaan kare, hurt kare, koi bhi confusion ho tum sabse pehle mere paas aaogi... mujhse baat karogi... kabhi apne man ko dukhi nahin karogi... infact agar meri bhi koi baat buri lagegi toh mujhse lad lena, shikayat kar lena par apne dil mein nahin rakhna... I know I am bit crazy sometimes, but believe me I will always be there for you, with you..." he laughed slowly mocking on himself making her smile...

Naina nodded, "I know aap mere saath hai... jaise hamesha se meri har problem mein mujhe support kiya hai and I also promise ki koi bhi baat hogi toh mein sabse pehle aapke paas aaungi... after all we are true friends... toh dosti ke naate hi sahi, ab toh bata dijiye naam..."

Sameer taking a deep sigh said, "uss din exhibition mein jab tum log pictures click kare rahe the vahaan tumhare aur Preeti ke alawa Kamya bhi thi... entry gate ki CCTV footage mein uksi pictures hai... voh tumhare jaane ke kuchh der baad hi vahaan pahunchi thi and tumse pehle vahaan se nikal gayi thi, kisi se bhi mile bina... voh usi hall mein thi jahaan tum aur Karthik baat kar rahe the baaki sabke saath... bas usne jo pictures, jis angle se li vahaan se sirf tum donon hi nazar aa rahe the jiski wajah se sab confusion hua... aur shayad ghar mein voh photos bhi vahi laayi thi kyunki uss din koi courier mere naam se deliver nahin hua... aur kal usne khud kaha sabse ki voh uss event mein nahin gayi thi.... if she was honest toh usne jhuth kyun kaha... I know you trust her but..." he stopped seeing her face turned gloomy and wet eyes ready to burst any moment....

Naina keep looking him seems all lost, as from corner of her heart she was also doubtful on Kamya... once again a person who is so close to her broke her trust...

Seeing her in tears Sameer wiped it cupping her face in his palms, "Naina, tumhein sach janana tha maine bata diya... now please leave this matter here only... it really doesn't matter for us anymore until we trust each other... I don't want you to get disturb for this matter anymore... jo hona tha ho chuka hai aur tumne inn sab mein sabse jyaada saha hai... mein ab aur tumhein pareshaan nahin dekh sakta, so please just leave everything and move on... please believe me yahi tumhare liye sahi hai..." he said to stop her indulging more herself into this disheartening matter anymore as doesn't want to affect her health...

Naina nodded slowly and stood to go out but Sameer stop her, "wait... I need to talk to you about the new Project... can we discuss now..." he stops her to keep her mind indulge in other matters thinking, "iska dimaag kisi aur baat mein uljhana hoga varna soch soch kar apne aap ko pareshaan kar legi... har baat dil se sochti hai aur Kamya ko lekar vaise hi itni sensitive hai... itni mushkil se tabiyat theek huyi hai mein phir se risk nahin le sakta..."

Sameer picking up a random file from his desk, starts discussing with her on issues to handle... he smiled seeing her so attentive, forgetting everything when it comes to work and starts giving her points to prepare data when Naina asked abruptly, "Sir but yeh project toh next month ke liye scheduled tha na..."

He relieved seeing her fully engrossed but suddenly turned his face ignoring her... she again asked confusingly on his sudden mood change, "Sir, have you done some changes in plan... in our last board meeting we decided this project for next month..."

He again ignored her and simply forward a paper towards her with a blank face... she took it confusingly and read... a small smile crept on her face reading it's the same official circular which Preeti has shown her two days back...

Now she has to take his name...

Naina called again, "but Sir..." she was still hesitated to call him by his name...

Sameer giving fake annoyed look said, "don't you know our company policy... aur jab tak tum isey follow nahin karti, don't talk to me..." he said turning his attention back to screen making weird faces like a stubborn kid...

She sits there for some time but seeing no response left from room muttering, "phir torture shuru... pata nahin kya majaa aata hai... kaam ke beech mein yeh khurafati ideas aate kahaan se hai inke dimaag mein... bachchon ke jaisi zid karte hai aur khud ko CEO kehte hai... huh"

Sameer laughed slowly seeing her blabbering, "chalo achchha hai ab thodi der isi mein uljhi rahegi aur Kamya ki baat dimaag se nikal jaayegi... ab torture kahe ya kuchh bhi, mujhe isko Kamya ke stress se dur toh rakhna hi hai... aur phir tumhare munh se apna naam bhi toh sunana hai Mrs Maheshwari..." he smiled seeing her irritated looks on his screen, looking adorable...

Naina came out sitting on her desk when Preeti approached her painting heavily, "Naina... tu kahaan thi mein kab se phone kar rahi hun tujhe..."

Naina replied frustatedly, "kyun ab tujhe kya karwana hai... koi nayi company policy launch huyi hai Naina ko torture karne ke 101 ideas par..."

Preeti giving a confused look asked, "kya bakwaas kar rahi hai... lagta hai Mr CEO se phir lad kar aayi hai... yaar tum donon na perfect husband wife ho jo ek minute bhi bina lade nahin rah sakte..." she laughed getting a hard smack on her arm...

Naina, "tu bakwaas bandh kar aur bata mujhe kyun dhundh rahi thi... ek tu hai jise mujhse baat karni hai aur ek voh hai jinhein mere munh se kuchh sunana hi nahin... sivaay apne naam ke... bas bachchon ki tarah zid karte rehte hai... kabhi khaana nahin khayenge, kabhi baat nahin karenge... thoda sa normal behave kar lenge toh unke CEO status mein koi kami aa jaayegi kya... Sadu naam perfectly suit karta hai..."

Preeti laughed sitting in front of her, "dekh yeh sab toh tumhare personal matters tum miyaan biwi khud jaano, mujhe ismein mat ghaseet... vaise tu yeh sab chhod aur bata mere saath lunch par chalegi... mera aaj baahar khaana khaane ka bohot man tha... pata hai office ke paas na ek naya street chaat food ka restaurant khula hai... sab itani taarif kar rahe hai ki mujhse toh control hi nahin ho raha..." 

Naina agreed instantly forgetting all other matters as being pregnant she always have craving for tangy foods... they both left without informing to anyone to the newly opened restaurant oblivious of someone's intense look on their each movement...

Sameer smiled seeing her going out with Preeti... after knowing a new restaurant opened for street food nearby, he asked Pandit to request Preeti to take her out for lunch and enjoy fullest... after last few days in so much stress, he knew spending fun time with Preeti with her favorite delicious food is a real stress buster for her... even if he has to stay away for few hours from her  he was ready to do that to see her smile back on her face...

Coming back to office, they entered in building realizing some chaos nearby the elevator... they stepped ahead and saw Kamya standing there and shouting on guards to allow her to go on CEO's floor, taking his exclusive elevator...

Naina felt uncomfortable hearing Kamya wants to go to meet Sameer without informing her even... also knowing Kamya behind that pictures she initially wants to confront her but as Sameer convinced her to not focus much on this, she accepted it... but not ready to meet her or face her at this moment... seeing her here was indeed a surprise cum shock for her...

Naina asked controlling her anger, "hi Kamya, tu ne bataya nahin tu yahaan aa rahi hai... mujhe phone kar deti agar tujhe aana hi tha toh... tujhe pata hai na uss floor par kisi ka jaana allowed nahin without his permission..."

Kamya replied in frustration, "kyun karun mein kisi ko phone permission ke liye... outsiders allowed nahin par mein koi stranger nahin hun... iss guard ki himmat kaise huyi, har baar mujhe rok deta hai... tujhe toh nahin rokta yeh..." Naina Preeti shocked hearing her that how can she compare herself with Naina...

Preeti laughed making fun of her, "oye madam, agar aap Prime minister bhi hoti toh aapko jaane ki permission nahin milati kyunki yahaan rules sirf Mr Maheshwari ke chalte hai... aur sirf unke close log hi uss floor par allowed hai... jaise hamari Naina..." she said circling her hand on Naina's shoulder making her blush...

Kamya frowned shouting on her, "just shut up... ek mamuli si employee hokar badi badi baatein karwa lo bas..."

Before Preeti replied, Naina stopped them both, "Kamya please, Preeti meri dost hai aur yahaan ki employee bhi, so you should respect her... aur please yeh office hai, aise yahaan chilla kar tamasha mat kar... yeh guards sirf apni duty kar rahe hai aur jo instructions unhein diye gaye hai unko follow... you have no rights to insult anyone here... vaise tu ne bataya nahin tujhe kya kaam tha Sameerji se..." she asked with a stern tone looking her suspiciously...

Kamya changed her tone said, "voh... haan mein sabke saath lunch karna chahti thi... socha yahin aa jaati hun... par yeh guard har baar mujhe insult kar deta hai... tu abhi isey instructions de ki aage se mujhe uss floor par jaane se kabhi nahin roke... mein jab chaahun bina rok tok ke aa jaa saku sabse milne..." she forced Naina to give instructions to the guards to never stop Kamya going at his floor anytime in future...

Naina replied keeping her tone calm, "par hum toh lunch kar chuke hai aur Sameerji bhi aaj kal ghar ka khaana hi khaate hai, jo mein banati hoon unke liye, so your lunch plan is not possible now... aur rahi baat instructions ki toh yeh possible nahin hai... yeh Mr Maheshwari ke instructions hai aur unhein mein bhi nahin badal sakti... hope you understand, so don't create a scene here... its really very embarrassing..."

Kamya got shocked on her straight denial on her face... Naina asked further, "vaise tu ne bataya nahin ki tujhe itna kya personal kaam hai ki tujhe Sameerji se milane ke liye special permission chahiye... tu itne dinon se mere ghar mein guest hai aur tu jaanti hai ki voh kabhi tere saath baat tak karna pasand nahin karte toh iss unke tarah office mein aana... isn't it so weird... aur agar pehle ki tarah tu unse mere baare mein baat karne aayi hai toh rehne de... mein tujhe pehle bhi kah chuki hoon ki mere liye tujhe unse baat karne ki koi jarurat nahin... it doesn't nice if any third person speak between husband wife and I think you still remember ki tu sirf meri dost hai aur voh sirf tere jijaji..." she said slowly with a naughty smirk on her face making Kamya stunned...

To avoid more argument with her Naina makes an excuse, "sorry yaar, mera bohot kaam pending hai aur Sameerji bhi mera wait kar rahe honge... he never like me to be away from him for so long... chal shaam ko milate hai ghar par..." saying this she entered in elevator and left to her floor avoiding her pierced gaze...

Kamya frowned seeing her going ignoring her presence, when Preeti tapped on her shoulder, "look Kamya, Naina is very innocent aur jo aajkal yeh naye naye ideas tumhare paas aa rahe hai, just control them... I will not allow you to hurt her anymore... hope tumhein samajh aa raha hai mein kya kah rahi hun & believe me I am not so simple and innocent like Naina..." she said glaring her giving clear warning to stay away from Naina and Sameer... from Pandit she knew that it was Kamya behind all misunderstanding between them...

Before Kamya reacts, a voice shocked her more, "aur haan, don't forget Naina is not alone... uska bhaai bhi uske saath hai aur wada hai uske hisse ki khushiyaan usko dila kar rahunga... aur tum jaanti nahin hum dost kis hadd tak jaa sakte hai apne doston ki khushiyon ke liye... so better you change your ways... vaise bhi yahaan tumhari daal nahin galne wali kyunki agar Sameer ko pata bhi chala ki tumne office premises mein humgama machaya hai toh kahin aisa na ho ki ghar mein bhi entry bandh kar de tumhari... and believe me uss waqt tumhari so called aunty bhi tumhein nahin bacha payengi..." saying this Pandit hold Preeti's hand and left from there leaving Kamya alone fuming in anger...

After talking with Naina in morning, she didn't get any clue about the outcome of her wicked plan to create distances between them... meeting with Sameer in alone will be the last option to know his reaction and his feelings about Naina... she was aware that Naina usually went out with Preeti after lunch, and this seems to be the best time to meet Sameer in alone in office but all ruined by guards not allowing her to go to his floor...

Sameer was busy in his work when continuous ring on his phone disturbs him... he picked up call without seeing the caller's name...

Keeping phone few inches away from his ears he said irritatingly, "yaar tu chillana bandh karegi please... tera gala hai ki besura dhol..." he laughed slowly knowing the reaction he will get now...

Sunaina shouts, "Idiot, gadhe, ullu, ek toh meri shaadi ke ek bhi function mein nahin aaya aur mujhe suna raha hai ki mein chillati hun... tu itna heartless kaise ho sakta hai Maheshwari..." she said getting irritated on his casual approach...

Sameer apologized, "Sorry yaar... voh kuchh dinon se bohot disturb aur itana busy tha ki bhool hi gaya... I am really sorry..."

Sunaina shouts again, "kya... bhool gaya... besharam tu apni itni close friend ka itna special din bhool gaya... tujhse mujhe yahi ummid thi... you heartless person..."

Sameer smiled replying her, "aur kuchh nahin bolna... jab tak tera gaaliyon ka quota poora nahin hoga tujhe chen nahin milega aur iss baar toh meri galti bhi hai toh aur suna le..."

Sunaina getting calm said in a pleading tone, "par kam se kam aaj reception mein toh aa ja... tu ne shaadi toh miss kar hi di aur phir mein ek mahine ke liye apne honeymoon par ja rahi hun... milna nahin ho payega... tu eklauta mera aisa dost hai jo meri shaadi ke ek bhi function par nahin aaya... how rude of you..."

Sameer laughed to tease her more, "teri shaadi mein tere pati ka hona jaruri tha... voh toh aaya tha na, kahin bhaag toh nahin gaya darr ke... vaise mujhe aur bhi jaruri kaam the tere iss juloos mein aane se jyaada..."

Sunaina replied making angry faces, "aww... sharam kar thodi toh... agar tune mana nahin kiya hota toh mera dulha toh tu hi hota naa... aur ab chida raha hai... chal ab baatein chhod aur promise kar ki aaj reception mein pakka aayega... I really missed you yaar... Kabir bhi puchh raha tha tere baare mein... sab the par sirf tu nahin aaya... please aa jaa na aaj..." she said in a requesting tone...

Sameer smiled assuring her, "promise... aaj hum jaroor aayenge..."

Sunaina squealed teasing him, "wowwww.... hum... matlab tu aur teri voh assistant... not bad Maheshwari... dekh abhi bhi bata de agar kuchh aur baat hai toh... I am sure kuchh toh gadbad hai tumhare beech... seedha mein se hum par baat pahunch gayi... huh..."

Sameer smiled keeping his phone down before she asked more, "bye... shaam ko milte hai..."

Looking at his mobile screen, he smiled naughtily, "hmm... ek aur task... ab manaao Madam ko saath chalne ke liye..."

Naina coming back from lunch starts her work when intercom buzzed... taking a deep sigh, she went inside murmuring, "meri baat toh sunani nahin hai toh bulaya kyun hai... kaam ke liye ek mail bhej dete ya message hi kar dete... ab phir parade karwayenge andar baahar meri..."

Sameer seeing her said with a stern face, "we have to go today in Sunaina's marriage reception party... so get ready in evening... will leave from office only..."

Naina narrowed her eyes thinking, "yeh kahin ke Shahenshah hai kya... jab dekho bas hukum chala dete hai... ab kisi dost ke personal function mein mujhe kyun lekar jaana hai inhein..."

Sameer seeing her not responding asked, "what happened... any problem..."

Naina nodded her head asking, "but it's a personal invite... I mean what will I do there..."

Sameer, "because it's my order... you have to come with me..." he said firmly to avoid argue with her as can't tell her that he will not go anywhere without her...

Naina again tried to deny, "par mein kaise... I mean vahaan mera kya kaam... aapki friend hai voh aur..."

He cut her in between said, "don't argue... agar mujhe uss waqt kuchh office ka matter discuss karna hua toh... you are coming with me... and its final..." he mentally kicked himself for giving again such an idiotic excuse...

Naina smiled naughtily, "but Sir, you are not talking to me until I follow the new company HR policy... toh mein jaakar kya karungi... mein nahin jaaungi aapke saath... aap message kar dena mein jawaab de dungi... okay..." saying this she stood there adamantly crossing her hand on her chest with a naughty smirk on her face...

Sameer shocked, shouts instantly, "what... what do you mean... how can you deny my orders... I am your boss..."

Naina smiled replying, "but Sir, what's the point if you are not talking to me and not replying me for anything... ab reception mein ajeeb lagega na ki mein vahaan akele bore hoti rahun... mein vahaan kisi ko nahin jaanti aur aap toh mujhse baat karoge nahin... office discussion toh hum mail par bhi kar sakte hai... after all technology ka kuchh toh faayda hona chahiye na..." she grinned widely rotating her mobile in her hand mischievously...

Sameer huffed in frustration seeing her playing around taking advantage of the situation, "okay... fine... aaj ke liye it's an excuse for you... yeh office policy hum kal dekhenge... now agar bahane khatam ho gaye ho toh shaam ko ready rehna... okay..."

Naina smiled widely with a winning smile "okay Mr Maheshwari..." she turned and left out from cabin...

Sameer wiped tiny sweat formed on his forehead, "baap re... kitne nakhre karti hai yeh ladki... aur karo topper se pyaar... dimaag chala kar aakhir apni zid manwa hi li na... cheater... kal dekhunga kaise naam nahin leti mera... par iske bina jaane ka bilkul man nahin tha... thank god maan gayi... ab jahaan mein vahaan tum... hamesha ek saath..." he smiled kissing softly at her picture on his screen...
