Before approaching to Swati's room, Naina halts in between realizing that Sameer is also at home and can be a great help to handle the intruder. Already going alone for meeting was her mistake and she doesn't want to add it anymore and let him handle this new problem by his own. She turned to go to her room to call him when suddenly she heard the footstep from behind coming out from Swati's room.

As she turned, she noticed the intruder coming out from Swati's room staring at her shockingly. "Tum..." she shouts on top of her voice, "tumhari himmat kaise huyi yahaan aane ki... pitaai se jee nahin bhara ki mera pichha karte huye mere ghar tak aa gaye... Police ko toh shayad rishwat dekar bach gaye hoge lekin mujhse tumhein aaj koi nahin bacha payega..."

He tried to voice out but again interrupt by Naina, "tum ruko abhi... lagta hai aise nahin manoge... tum jaiso ko theek karna mujhe achchhe se aata hai..." saying this she lifted her hand to smash the vase on his head to punish him but halt finding her hand was in tight grip from someone behind.

Sameer holding her from shoulder by his other hand asked worriedly, "Naina... yeh kya kar rahi thi tum..." shock was an understatement for him seeing Naina ready to smash Munna's head with vase. He had never seen her so angry and equally shocked to realize reason for her fierce behavior is somewhere connected to his innocent friend.

Munna breaking their trance askes shockingly looking at them, "Sameer... yeh... yeh Naina hai... teri Naina..."

Naina also asked shockingly, "yeh... aap jaante hai iss luche lafange ko... aapko pata hai isne kitna pareshaan kiya aaj mujhe... aur tumhein mera naam kaise pata chala... bolo..." she snapped him back in anger, not giving much thought that the intruder has just address Sameer by his name.

Sameer stopping her to rebuke him anymore said, "Naina... yeh Munna, mere bachpan ka dost hai... bataya toh tha tumhein ki aaj yeh aane wala hai..." he said in one breathe to endanger the life of his buddy.

Naina pointed at the man who was looking at her in daze, "yeh... Munna... aapka friend... I mean yeh Munna hai..." suddenly a gush of guilt ran across her that how rudely she had behaved with him. What will he think about her now. Seems she had lost badly in her first impression on him.

Sameer looking one by one to each of them nodded his head, "yes..." he said looking at Munna wrapping his hand around Naina's shoulder, "aur Munna, yeh hai meri jaan, meri Naina, aur teri Bhabhi, jis se milne ke liye tu itna bechain tha..."

Sameer introduced to two of them but none of them has reacted as he was expected. Seeing Munna staring to Naina without even blinking his eyes he moved a side keeping his hand on his shoulder, "kya hua Munna... mein isi surprise ki baat toh kar raha tha... mujhe pata tha tujhe sabse jyaada khushi hogi meri Naina se milkar... dekh le iss baar maine Naina ke milne ki khabar sabse pehle tujhe di hai... Pandit ko toh ab tak bataya bhi nahin..."

Sameer smiled keeping his hand on Munna's shoulder, who was still looking at her amusingly, "pichhli baar tujhe na bata saka aur na hi Naina se mila paaya, lekin Pandit toh Naina se mila bhi tha aur usne toh meri Naina ko apni behen bhi bana liya tha... lekin iss baar maine Pandit se pehle tujhe Naina se milwaya hai... ab toh teri shikayat khatam huyi na..." he said grinning widely as his guilt of not letting Naina introduce to Munna last time was killing him. Since their childhood they had never kept any secrets from each other but this time circumstances were not in their favor.

Sameer looked at Naina who was also still in shock but more surprised to see Munna's strange behavior. They both were looking at each other without uttering a single word making him more worried.

Suddenly something strikes in his mind asking, "Naina, tum jaanti ho mere dost Munna ko... tum donon mile ho pehle bhi kahin... lekin mujhe laga tum log aaj pehli baar mil rahe ho..." it was very unusual for both of them to behave like this making Sameer somehow more confused on their behavior.

Naina coming back into senses lowered her eyes feeling ashamed, "sorry Sameer... I mean mujhe nahin pata tha ki yeh Munna bhaiya hai, tumhare dost... voh actually... aaj voh meeting ke baad... maine bataya tha na aapko... voh aadmi jo mere pichhe..." she fumbled on her words that how to explain what all had conspired between them and she accused him as a trespasser.

Sameer's eyes widened realizing the fact asked, "matlab... tum aur Munna... matlab tum hi thi jis ne Munna ko stalker samajh kar police se arrest karwaya tha... matlab voh tum thi jiski wajah se mera dost jail mein tha..." it was purely unbelievable and unacceptable for him that what his own love has done to his best friend cum brother who is the most sensible and polite among three of them.

Naina slowly nodded her head feeling guilty, "sorry Sameer... lekin mujhe laga ki voh..." she suddenly felt that she had already done so much damage and stopped herself before she could finish her sentence. She was so embarrassed to look into either of them. How to say that she assumes him some cheap stalker and never gave him chance to explain.

After giving a deep thought, she realized why Munna wanted to talk to her so desperately. He might had seen her pictures from Sameer and have recognized her. But she had seen his picture just once that was also of their teen age. It was difficult for her to identify him, that too for such an accidental unexpected meet on road.

Sameer realizing the situation laughed loudly making them both shocked and embarrassed, "kya baat hai yaar, mein kab se soch raha tha ki tum donon jab pehli baar miloge toh kaise react karoge... but I can't believe ki tum donon ki mulaqat aise hogi ki tum mere dost ko seedha police station pahuncha dogi..."

Naina lowering her eyes still feeling embarrassed said slowly, "sorry Munna bhaiya, I mean mujhe koi andaja nahin tha varna mein kabhi aise react nahin karti... mujhe shayad ek baar aapki baat sun leni chahiye thi lekin sab itna achanak se hua ki mein kuchh theek se samajh nahin paayi aur aapki insult kar di... I am really sorry..." she was genuinely feeling guilty and Munna's silence making it worst.

Sameer asked in between, "lekin Munna tu achanak Naina se kaise takra gaya... tu toh Airport se seedha hotel jaane wala tha na jo tere liye book kiya tha..." initially he decided to let Munna rest in hotel and later Sameer will plan a surprise visit with Naina and Angel. But due to circumstances, he brings him at home from police station seeing him so distressed.

Munna, "voh actually mujhe headache ho raha tha toh I get down from cab to take some medicine, lekin market mein achanak Naina ko dekha toh... voh actually mujhe Naina se kuchh baat karni thi isiliye mein unse milne chala gaya..."

He turned his gaze to Naina, "sorry Naina, actually achanak aapko market mein dekha toh mujhe laga mein aapko jaanta hoon... aur market mein kaafi shor tha sirf isiliye maine akele mein baat karne ke liye kaha tha... otherwise I was no harm... shayad mere kehne ka tareeka galat tha but my intentions were not bad..." he explained his point of view as never wanted to make her feel bad. He well understood that it will never be an easy for any girl to talk with any stranger in alone and he was indeed wrong with his choice of words.

Sameer seeing Munna feeling embarrassed slightly patted on his shoulder, "yaar sorry lekin Naina aisi nahin hai... yeh sab ek ittefaq hi tha ki Naina ke samajhane mein galti ho gayi... ab maaf bhi kar de na please... dekh mein bhi sorry bolta hoon apni Naina ki taraf se..." seeing Naina in so much guilt he himself feel like to ease out the situation apologize on her behalf.

Munna finally let out a deep sigh he was holding for so long, "ittefaq... sahi kaha tu ne kyunki yeh sab ek ittefaq hi ho sakta hai, ya shayad ek chamatkar... ya yun kahun ki bhagwan ka ek ishaara tha jisey samajhne mein hum sab ne bohot der kar di..." he keeps mumbling still keeping his eyes on Naina, making the situation weird for all.

Sameer jerking him slightly asked, "kya bol raha hai yaar tu... yeh chamatkar, bhagwan ka ishaara... I mean mujhe kuchh samajh nahin aa raha..."

Sameer said turning Munna to his side apologizing on her behalf, "dekh Munna... I know Naina se galti huyi hai aur mein uski taraf se maafi bhi maangta hoon... par tu jaanta hai na Naina meri zindagi mein kya maayne rakhti hai... toh please maaf kar de na yaar... I promise you ki jab tu Naina se theek se milega toh tu bhi usase dosti kar lega... she is really a very nice person..." seeing Munna still behaving so strange he assumes his anger on Naina and tried to sort out the issue by his own. He never wanted either of them to feel bad about each other as they both are so close to his heart.

Munna smiled wearily shaking his head, "maafi toh maangni hai, lekin tujhe aur Naina ko nahin..." he turned his gaze back to Naina, "shayad mujhe... kyunki Naina ka sabse bada gunahgaar toh mein hoon..."

Shock was evident on Sameer and Naina's face seeing his weird and strange behavior. Munna stepped ahead towards Naina asking straight, "tumne pehchana mujhe..."

Naina evidently in shock shook her head in denial, "sorry, maine aapko pehchana nahin market mein kyunki hum aaj pehli baar hi mile hai... aapki ek photo jaroor maine dekhi thi lekin itane saal baad achanak aapko dekha toh pehchan nahin paayi... I am sorry..."

Munna chuckled slowly said vaguely shaking his head, "sure... vaise bhi tum mujhe kaise pehchanogi kyunki hamari pehli mulaqat kuchh ajeeb halaaton mein jo huyi thi..." he paused for a moment taking a deep sigh, "uss waqt tum almost unconscious thi aur maine mask bhi pehna hua tha..."

Seeing her confused expressions he asked, "Naina, you remember 5 saal pehle jab ek raat tum ek nursing home mein admit huyi thi... I don't know tum vahaan kaise pahunchi lekin jab maine tumhein dekha toh you were a bit lost and was not in your complete senses..." he said trying to make her recall how accidentally they had met in an unusual circumstance.

Sameer who was looking all shocked and surprised asked, "Naina, tum... tum bimaar thi kya jo nursing home mein admit huyi thi... lekin yeh sab hua kab... I mean paanch saal pehle toh hum saath the na... tumne bataya kyun nahin mujhe..." he was well aware of her medical condition when they met but not aware of why and when she got admitted for which Munna was aware but not him.

Suddenly something strikes to him looking to Munna he asked, "lekin tu toh London mein tha jab Naina mere saath thi... tu Naina se kab aur kahaan mila..."

Munna smiled vaguely replied, "mila nahin tha, lekin shayad voh ek ittefaq tha ki jis din mein ek raat ke liye India aaya tha uss raat mujhe hospital mein jo ladki mili thi voh aur koi nahin, teri Naina hi thi..." he said staring deeply in his eyes making him recall what all conspire five years back.

Suddenly Munna's word registered in Sameer's brain and his eyes popped out in surprise realizing what Munna wanted to convey. Swiftly something forays into him making him shuddered with an instance, more than a coincidence, that how and what three of them planned something beyond anyone's imagination and how coincidently, Naina got involved in all this.

Looking at Munna's strange expression, Sameer became more nervous and asked, "do you know her from that day? But how... I mean how could it be possible..."

Looking at Sameer, Munna slowly nodded with slightly nervous and said honestly, "she... she is the girl from that night... I mean to whom you were looking for?" he said slowly but audible enough to Sameer, oblivious to Naina what all they are talking about.

It took some time for Sameer to gather his thought which went crazy when realization hit him hard. The impact of Munna's words was so strong, that knocked the wind off from his lungs, giving a feel that his heart will explode with pain and shock.

"What?" this time, it was Sameer's turn to be shocked. He was so shocked that he said incoherently, "how could this be possible?... I mean are you sure?... No this can't be possible.... I am sure tujhe koi galatfahmi ho rahi hai... aisa nahin ho sakta..." he keeps mumbling unable to figure out what does his best friend meant of.

He knew Munna cannot joke or said something if he wasn't so sure but accepting this fact was like someone has kept tons of bricks on his chest making him chocked.

All his rationale thinking went haywire.

This was... even more miraculous than a miracle.

It was simply unbelievable.

बेवजह नहीं होती मुलाक़ात किसीसे,

कोई अधुरा रह गया रिश्ता

पूरा होना लिखा होता है !!

Suddenly Munna pulled Sameer's hand taking him few steps away from Naina to discuss something secretly, giving a strange feel to Naina. Munna speak slowly unable to make Naina heard anything but observing their expressions, she was damn sure that they are discussing something related to her only, which seems to be very serious.

Sameer's reaction was totally strange as he stood silently for the whole time before his face split into a broad smile, and his eyes welled with tears of happiness. Top of that his eyes were glued to her without even blinking.

Before she could dwell further, Munna turned to her side giving a brief smile, patted on Sameer's shoulder, "I think tum donon ko akele mein baat akrni chahiye..." saying this he left back towards his room where he went earlier to get freshen up, leaving the two souls alone.

Naina finds it very strange as few minutes back they both were engrossed seriously in some talks about her and now Munna left them alone. Before she asked further, Sameer stepped towards her with heavy steps. Coming close to her he took her hand making her sit on the couch lying there making her relax before asking, "Naina sorry I am asking you but when did you get admitted in hospital... I mean hamari shaadi se pehle... shayad kuchh dinon pehle ya ek mahine pehle..." his shivering voices reflects his nervousness and eagerness to find out the answer, like his life is reliant on her answer.

Naina unable to utter a word all lost in her thoughts that how and why this matter has raised suddenly. She very well knew that her unexpected pregnancy is somehow related to that night and strangely connected to that nursing home. Initially on her revelation, Kamya helped her to dig out the matter at her own but later Naina herself refused her to investigate further. She was happy to be with Sameer and never wanted an unwanted persons appearance to destroy her beautiful relation with Sameer.

Earlier many of times, she wanted to tell all truth to Sameer but every time something happened which stops her to reveal the truth. She never wanted to betray him but never got chance either.

With a slight jerk she looked at Sameer sitting so close to her with an unreadable expression. This is first time after so long that she was unable to figure out what is going on in his mind. But this was sure that her life changing accident on that night somehow related to them and this is the time for her to reveal all truth.

She nodded her head slowly, "I... I got admitted the day when I got divorced with Sharad... uss din mujhe kuchh hosh nahin tha aur poore din mentally and physically exhaustion ki wajah se shayad mein behosh ho gayi thi... aur jab aankh khuli toh mein ek hospital bed par thi... kuchh samajh nahin aa raha tha kya karun toh mein bina kisi ko bataye vahaan se chali aayi..." she said as the day was horrible in start with finding Sharad's betrayal and then her own parents forced her to accept such a disgraceful blame on her character, rather supporting her.

Sameer was totally blank at that moment hearing her explanation. It was beyond his imagination what has conspired making him to stop think anything rationale anymore.

Whatever Munna and Naina has said isn't even making any sense in real world for him anymore. He stopped listening at some point and the only thing swirling in his head is the coincidence... somewhat like a miracle.

Sameer lifted his face feeling a soft hand on his shoulder, "are you okay... I don't know how to say but I never got the chance to tell you about that night... it was all before our marriage..." Naina said feeling guilty as even if she tried earlier but never got chance to tell Sameer the secret about her pregnancy.

Sameer holding her hand firmly in his asked, "Naina, I know hum ne kabhi tumhari past life ke baare mein baat nahin ki but if you don't mind me telling now..." he knew asking about her bitter past especially her relationship with Sharad was wrong but right now he needed answer for his unsettled queries.

Naina nodded her head assuring she was all willing to share everything about her, "Sameer mein aapse pehle bhi kehna chahti thi lekin kabhi mauka hi nahin mila... aap toh jaante hi hai ki Sharad kaisa insaan tha... usase meri shaadi ek deal thi jo mere nakli maa baap ne paiso ke liye ki thi... aur uss deal ko khatam karne ke liye Sharad ne mere character par dosh laga kar divorce de diya..."

Sameer asked through gritted teeth in anger, "how could he do this to you..." wiping the lone tear dropped from her eyes he planted a soft kiss on her forehead assuring his presence, which calms her inner turmoil.

Naina told him one by one everything what happen after her divorce and how suddenly she landed into another marriage oblivious of his identity.

Sameer lifting her face in his palm asked softly, "have you... I mean you and Sharad together..." he fumbled on his words on how to ask if they had any physical relation. They were married for six months, and it was very obvious for them to be together, especially when Naina was fully devoted to her relation and was not aware of Sharad's sinful conspiracies against her.

Naina shook his head slowly, "no... I mean shaadi ke baad Sharad kabhi ghar par nahin hota tha and I thought he was too much busy in his job, in his career, but it was all fake... six months mein akele usi ghar mein rahi aur mujhe divorce wale din hi pata chala that he has a girlfriend, and at that time she was pregnant with his child... usi ki wajah se Sharad ne hamari marriage ki saajish ki thi..." she narrates how he conspired their marriage to make his own parents accept his choice of girl after framing Naina in forged blames.

Sameer muttered shockingly, "toh... matlab tum aur Sharad..." it was unbelievable for him to accept the fact that how much Naina has suffered the emotional torture in those months while staying with that jerk.

Naina shook her head and looked at him, "isiliye I was not aware of my pregnancy... even I was also shocked knowing that I was pregnant... that was purely unbelievable for me also aur uss waqt mein kisi ko samjhati bhi kaise... it was difficult for anyone to believe on me..."

Sameer asked trying to sound composed despite his growing uneasiness, "lekin mujhe laga ki Angel Sharad ki..." he stopped saying further feeling her soft fingers on his lips, "please Angel ko kabhi bhi Sharad se relate mat karna... voh sirf meri beti hai aur uss par mein Sharad jaise ghatiya insaan ka saaya bhi nahin padne de sakti... uska naam apni beti se jodna toh dur ki baat hai..." she said sternly making him shut and realize how stupid his question can be when she already clarified that she had no physical relation with Sharad during her stay with him.

Sameer, "lekin tumne kabhi mujhe kuchh bataya kyun nahin..." he asked surprisingly that he was unaware of such a big shocking truth of her life.

Even if he had already accepted Naina's bitter past but some corner of his heart feels proud realizing he will be her first in all true senses, even physically.

Naina lowering her eyes said, "kaise batati mein kisi ko jab mujhe khud hi kuchh pata nahin tha... meri pregnancy ki news aapse jyaada toh mere liye shocking news thi... jis din doctor ne mujhe bataya mujhe kuchh samajh nahin aa raha tha ki aisa kaise ho sakta hai, aur jab ghar aayi toh aapko meri reports mil gayi... aapko laga ki maine aapko dhokha diya hai lekin aisa nahin tha... mein bohot akeli padh gayi thi aur uss waqt harama rishta bhi bohot uljha hua tha... phir aapke voh divorce ke papers... uss waqt mujhe laga jaise shayad hamare liye alag hona hi theek rahega kyunki mein aapke naam ke saath ek anjaan bachche ka naam kaise jod deti..."

She paused for a moment saying further, "lekin jab hamare beech sab theek hua toh maine sach mein bohot koshish ki aapko sab kuchh bataane ki... hamari najdeekiyon ne mujhe vishwas dilaya ki shayad ab aap mujhe aur mere haalat ko samajh payenge aur yakeen karenge ki maine aap ko kabhi dhokha nahin diya, aapse kabhi jhuth nahin bola..."

Taking a deep breath she chuckled slowly mocking on her destiny, "sach kahoon Sameer, lekin aapke saath, aapke mujh par vishwas ne mujhe kuchh hadd tak kamjor bana diya tha... mein sapne dekhne lagi thi... aapke saath... hamare bhavishya ke... aur jiss tarah aapne dheere dheere mere dil se saare darr nikaal kar apna pyaar bhar diya, mera man swarthi ho gaya tha... laga kahin mera yeh sach phir se humein dur na kar de... kahin aap mujhe na samajh paaye aur iss bachche se nafarat karne lage toh... mein aapko khona nahin chahti thi aur na hi apne bachche se dur hona chahti thi..."

A soft smile spread on her face instantly recalling when first time she feels about a life growing inside her, "mujhe nahin maloon mein pregnant kaise huyi lekin jis din se maine Nehu ko mehsoos kiya apne andar, ek ankaha sa rishta ban gaya tha... laga jaise meri zindagi mein ab koi kami nahin rahi... usase dur hone ke khayal se bhi meri jaan nikal jaati thi aur issi wajah se jab maine voh fake legal adoption papers dekhe toh sach maan liya ki aap mere bachche ko apnana hi nahin chahte, jisase aap ka koi rishta nahin hai... aap mujhse pyaar karte the aur mujhe uss pyaar par poora bharosa bhi tha... lekin mein chahti thi ki aap mere bachche ko dil se apnaye naa ki sirf isliye ki voh mujhse juda hai... mein aapko kisi anchahe rishtey mein bandhana nahin chahti thi bas isiliye apne bachche ko lekar mein aapse dur ho gayi...."

Naina felt a weight lifted off her shoulders, knowing that she didn't have to keep her fears and doubts to herself anymore. She had a partner who loved and accepted her for who she was and who was willing to stand by her side, no matter what.

Hearing all truth were more shocking for him, making him dumb to react. He runs his hand over his face to his hair. This was the first time in his whole life he was this scared and in guilt finding all the pains she had gone through... somehow because of him only.

Naina keeps looking him oblivion to what all is going in his mind. Naina was relieved and relaxed but found strange that Sameer looks shocked. Suddenly the air turned extremely quiet around them. Even though she knew this was shocking but his silence killing her at this moment. But she firmly believes in Sameer and his love for her and Nehu.

Wiping the trail of tears glistening over her cheeks she smiled, "I know aap hamare beech ki har duri mita kar hamare ristey ko dosti se pyaar tak le gaye the aur na chahte huye bhi mein apni feelings ko nahin rok paayi aur aapse pyaar karne lagi... lekin shayad ek patni ka pyaar Maa ke ehsaas kea age haar gaya... aapke pyaar ke badle maine aapko itna dukh diya lekin shayad aaj apa samajh payenge ki Nehu mere liye kya maayne rakhti hai... aapke alawa sirf voh hi mere jeene ki wajah thi, jisey mein apne se kabhi dur nahin kar sakti..." she said as a matter of fact that her motherly feelings can go to any extent to save her little one.

On contrast to her sharing all her feelings, Sameer was utterly quiet thinking how could he say that what relation he had with her little one before even Naina feels his presence in her life. They were bounded to be together much before they themselves realize.

Naina's heart thumped loudly in her chest seeing him so quiet even after few moments passed, looks like eternity for her. Time slowly passed when she did not notice any movement from him, she tried to stand up giving him some space to absorb the reality but couldn't move finding him clutching her wrist tightly in his hands.

Sameer's heart coiled in his chest at the saddened look in her eyes. His hand flicked towards her cheek, wiping the stream of tears flowing through her eyes, "I am sorry Naina..." he muttered slowly in a heavy voice laced with absolute love, adoration and guilt.
