Arriving Delhi in early morning hours, collecting her luggage Naina quickly rushed out from Airport feeling extremely excited and slightly nervous as well... she smiled seeing the city ahead where she had spent her whole life... it's the place where she got her first love... taking a deep breathe she closed her eyes getting contented feeling to be close to him and soon she will be in front of him... face to face...

Post his surgery this will be her first time when she will see him in personal... even if she was away, his well-being was always remains in her prayers, for his speedy recovery... when she left him it never came across in her mind that soon she will repent on her decision and now has to handle the most difficult task... to apologize him...

ज़िन्दगी संवारने को तो सारी ज़िन्दगी पड़ी है,
अभी बस वो लम्हा संभाल लो जहाँ ज़िन्दगी खड़ी है

It was still early morning hours and crowd was very less on roads... she quickly boarded a taxi towards Maheshwari mansion... she suddenly starts feeling uneasy as if a strange feeling had surged for a moment deep within her...

She lowered down the car window feeling the cool breeze on her face giving a little sense of calmness to her unsettle heart... she inhaled deeply thinking, "aaj kitne mahino baad phir uss hawa mein saans le rahi hoon jis mein aapki khushbu mili hai... kitne khubusrat pal the voh hamari zindagi ke jab hum ek dusre ki baahon mein aankh kholte the aur aapka muskurata chehra sabse pehle meri najaron ke saamne hota tha... lekin mere ek kamjor pal mein liye faisle ne kaise sab badal diya... hamari khushiyaan, hamare sapne, ek dusre se kiye saare waade, sab chhut gaya, aur inn sab ki wajah sirf aur sirf mere andar ki insecurities thi..."

"mujhe pata hai maine galat kiya lekin shayad uss waqt mein bohot kamjor pad gayi thi... sab itne achanak se mere saamne aaya ki mein samajh hi nahin paayi ki kya sahi aur kya galat hai... uss kamjor pal mein aap sabse dur jaane ka galat faisla maine liya, lekin yakeen maaniye, ek pal bhi kabhi aapke bina sukoon se nahin guzara... aur jab se aapke theek hone ki khabar padi, man kiya udd kar aapke paas aa jaaun, lekin himmat hi nahin huyi... kal jab pooja mein akele baithi toh ehsaas hua ki aapke bina kitni adhuri hoon mein... aapke ankahe pyaar ki dor ne mujhe kabhi aapse dur jaane hi nahin diya"

"aapne har kadam par mera saath diya, meri aur baby ki jaan bachayi, phir kaise maine maan liya ki aap usey mujhse dur karenge... jaroor kuchh aisa tha jo uss waqt mein samajh nahin paayi aur yeh galti ho gayi mujhse... aap par vishwas na karke maine bohot bada gunaah kiya hai jiske liye aap jo bhi saza denge mujhe manjoor hogi lekin ab aapse dur nahin rah sakti mein...

aur mujhe poora vishwas hai ki ek baar baby ko dekh kar aapka man bhi nahin karega usey apne se dur karne ka... uski pyaari si muskaan aapka dil bhi jeet legi... vaise bhi Arjun bhaiya kehte hai ki uski aankhen aur muskaan bilkul aapke jaisi hai... bachpan se kisi apne ke saath aur pyaar ke liye hum donon tarse hai, wada karti hoon ab kabhi aapko akela nahin chhodungi..." lost in her thoughts looking outside, dreaming about her happy future, she doesn't realize when she drifted into deep slumber...

Her sleep disturbs feeling no movement in cab... opening her eyes lazily she looked around finding car stopped in a deserted road... she quickly came out seeing driver trying to fix the issue, "bhaiya kya hua" she asked impatiently as doesn't want to get late...

Driver wiping the tiny drops on his forehead replied, "sorry madamji gaadi kharaab ho gayi hai... lagta hai mechanic ke paas le jaana padega..." he advised, "vaise iss turn ke baad hi aapki mazil hei jahaan aapko jaana hai... please aap paidal chali jaayegi..." he requested politely as it seems more time to fix the machine...

Naina roamed her eyes realizing she is just on a walking distance from the mansion... quickly carrying her small bag she paid to taxi and walked ahead... she cannot wait to meet him knowing he might soon leave for office if she delayed any more...

Naina quickly walked ahead holding her excitement with a smile plastered on her face... the moment she reached near gate saw a person's back busy in talking with the guards... she muttered slowly with a wide smile, "Ramdhari Kaka... lagta hai pichhli baar ki tarah iss baar bhi mera swagat sabse pehle Kaka hi karenge..." she smiled recalling how Randhari Kaka was the first person who acknowledge her as Chhoti Bahu of the family, even before Sameer accepted her...

Ramdhari was instructing to the guards in high tone oblivious to the person standing few steps away from him, "dhyaan rahe aaj koi bhi anjaan insaan, ya media iss ghar ke aas paas bhi nahin aani chahiye... itne saalon baad iss ghar mein shaadi ki shehnai bajne wali hai aur chhote Kunwar ne strict warn kiya hai ki unhein koi galti nahin chahiye... iss shaadi ki saari taiyari unhone khud apne haathon se ki hai aur tumhein pata hai unhein koi laaparwahi nahin chahiye... aakhir aaj ka din hum sabke liye bohot bada hai... nayi bahu ke swagat mein chhote Kunwar koi kami nahin aane dena chahte..."

Guard replied giving assurance, "aap bilkul chinta mat kijiye... Kunwar ki shaadi mein koi baadha nahin aayegi... Pandit sir ne pehle hi reporters aur strangers ko iss ghar se dur rakhne ka saara intzaam kar diya hai... humein pata hai ki chhote Kunwar iss din ki taiyari kitne dinon se kar rahe hai... aaj hum kuchh galat nahin hone denge..."

Ramdhari nodded when his phone beeped... he attended the call replied after a moment, "haan mujhe pata hai Babuji aashram se nikal chuke hai... unke aashirwaad ke bina yeh shaadi kaise sampann ho sakti hai... chhote Kunwar ki ichchha thi ki voh khud aakar naye jode ko apna aashirwaad de... aur hum sab jaante hai ki bade maalik chhote Kunwar ki baat kabhi nahin taalate..." after speaking few more minutes, he disconnects the phone keeping it back in his shirt pocket instructing guards to ensure no mishap happened today...

A few seconds later she came back into her senses... she stumbled slightly taking her steps back without making any noise to let him know her presence... she silently walked few meters away from them... she felt as if someone had dug her heart out and rolled it in snow for a few rounds... it was so cold that she could not tell if it was painful or not...

This kind of situation had never happened before in her life... even though the sun shone brightly above her head, her entire body trembled from the cold... Ramdhari's word echoed in her mind, "Kunwar ki shaadi"

Is he meant that Sameer is getting married?

No, she didn't... she didn't believe that Sameer would let go of her and abandon her... her heart sank, but she couldn't tell how heavy it was...

Since Sameer had chosen to move ahead in his life in such a short period of time, she absolutely did not believe that Sameer's feelings for her had changed, so soon... supressing her tears she turned back to go and talk with Sameer but her steps halt realizing that she has no rights to stop him taking decision of his own life...

Her heart cried out loud, "aise kaise Sameer mujhe bhool sakte hai... maana maine galti ki lekin uski itani badi saza... mein nahin maan sakti ki Sameer kuchh hi mahino mein mujhe bhool kar apni zindagi mein aage badh gaye... mein galat hoon, lekin ek galti toh bhagwan bhi maaf kar dete hai... mein jaanti hoon Sameer mere bina kabhi khush nahin rah payenge... mujhe unse milna hi hoga..."

But in a reflex, she stops thinking, "lekin jis tarah sab yahaan khush hai, Sameer khud saari preparations kar rahe hai, iska matlab voh mere bina khush hai aur zindagi mein aage badhna chahte hai..."

Her inner conscious mind rebuked her, "it's you who left him behind without giving any justified reason... you both had already signed the divorce agreement, then on what basis you want to confront him... he gave you everything more than of your own expectations, he loved you but you yourself was not ready to sacrifice your child for his happiness... so you cannot blame him either..."

She turned to go awaybefore anyone saw her... she keeps walking aimlessly moving away from the mansion, when realize few cars coming towards her... all cars slowly passed from her when she got a little glimpse of Nanu sitting in one of the middle cars... before anyone notice her presence, she quickly turned her head away and hid her face in a corner so that no one could see her...

She smiled faintly, "aakhir Nanu apne bete ki khushiyon mein shaamil hone iss ghar mein aa hi gaye... achchha hua jo aakhiri baar unhein bhi dekh liya..." she noticed from distance the whole house was decorated with flowers and lightings... in earlier she was so excited to meet him that didn't realize her surroundings but now everything is crystal clear in her eyes...

Sameer has moved on... he might have got his soul mate and must be happy to spend rest of his life with his lady love... the way Ramdhari was busy in preparations, it doesn't seem like a forced marriage for Sameer like last time when he was least bothered to even welcome his own bride... this time he himself does all the preparations to give the best day to his love... even Nanu also came personally to blessed the couple

Is this the same girl whom he was looking for earlier... probably yes, which makes him able to move so fast... finally he got his love back in his life... it seems Naina's decision was correct to leave him 6 months back...

She wiped the lone tear drop from her eyes smilingly, "agar mein aapke saath rehti toh aapko aapka khoya hua pyaar kabhi nahin milta... kehte hai jo hota hai achchhe ke liye hi hota hai... shayad mere chale jaane se hi aapki zindagi mein khushiyaan vaapas aa saki... mein sirf aapko khush dekhna chahti thi... thank you Kanhaji aapne meri yeh ichchha bhi poori kar di..." with a content smile she wiped her tears, thanking to the almighty to fulfil her wishes...

The best she can do is to give her blessings to them for a lovely life ahead... and never come back again in his life...

हमसफ़र न बन सके, हमराज़ बन कर रह गए,
तुम हमारी हसरतों का, ख़्वाब बन कर रह गए!

Since she has no other place to go and left with no heart to meet anyone else as this may affect the special day for Sameer, she quickly boarding another taxi went back to airport... she doesn't want to ruin his happiness when she herself has decided to stay away from him...

While waiting at Airport, she recalled how much he was searching for someone... even once he left her alone in office in unconscious state to find his lost love... how much coincident it was that the moment she left him, his love came back in his life... indeed that was the destiny...

Before leaving for Singapore, she wished to meet Preeti but drop the idea as this might impact Preeti's relation with Pandit... they might get married till now and might be Preeti was also staying in Maheshwari mansion...

She didn't get courage to meet any other person belongs to her past life and booked a ticket for herself to go back to her little baby, who is her world now... even if she is still madly in love with Sameer, she promised to never come back in his life for his happiness...

After an exhausted and tortured journey mentally and physically she reached back late night in Singapore... Arjun and Shefali was shocked hearing the news and doesn't want to believe that Sameer has taken this decision to move ahead in his life so early... they knew how much he loved her and cannot allow anyone else to be a part of his life...

Arjun dial Nanu's number even if Naina was so reluctant to persuade this matter anymore... he kept it on speaker mode to clarify all her doubts believing she must have wrongly understood the whole situation... he assumed this must be her assumption or some confusion but never in his dreams ready to believe that Sameer has moved on, leaving Naina...

Nanu picked up after several calls seeing an unknown number as since after Arjun shifted to Singapore, he hardly contacted Nanu for the sake of Naina... what if ever Nanu will talk about Naina, he cannot lie to him at any cost and hid the matter of Naina staying with them...

Arjun spoke with respect, "pranaam Nanaji, mein Arjun... kaise ho aap"

Nanu grinned widely hearing his voice, "mein theek aur tu kaisa hai... Shefali kaisi hai... jab se gaya hai aaj yaad aayi tujhe apne Nanu ki..." he scolds him lovingly as he really missed him so much... he knew Arjun was busy in settling his new life in new country, so he never complained either... he always appreciates and give his blessings to him to grow in his life and career...

Arjun smiled, "Nanu mein aur Shefali bilkul theek hai aapke parpote ke saath... bas aaj aapki bohot yaad aa rahi thi isliye ruka nahin gaya... maaf kijiyega lekin yahaan ki job aur ghar ke chakkar mein waqt hi nahin mila aapse baat karne ka..."

Nanu smiled blessing the little one with loads of wishes, "mubaraq ho beta... bachche ko mera bohot saara pyaar aur aashirwaad dena... pata nahin kab tum logon se mil paaunga lekin mein bohot khush hoon mein ki mere bachche theek hai aur zindagi mein bohot tarakki bhi kar rahe hai..."

Arjun getting impatient asked, "vaise Nanu, aashram mein sab log kaise hai... Ramdhari Kaka, Bela aunty kaise hai... aur haan Kaanji kaisa hai..." he asked purposely even knowing that Nanu is in Delhi at Maheshwari Mansion as per Naina...

Nanu laughed loudly, "arey usye kya hona hai... bas har waqt tum sabko yaad karta rehta hai... aaj jab Delhi aaye shaadi mein tab bhi puchh raha tha ki tum log nahin aaoge... ab usey kya maloom ki Singapore kitni dur hai aur shaadi mein aana kitna mushkil hai ek din ke liye..."

Arjun fumbled slowly, "shaadi... Nanu aap Delhi wale ghar mein ho.... Sameer ke paas... Sameer hai kya vahaan... aur shaadi..."

Nanu replied casually, "ab Sameer ki khaatir toh mujhe yahaan aana hi padega na... tu toh jaanta hai voh kitna ziddi hai... maine kitna mana kiya lekin voh maana hi nahin... apni kasam dekar mujhe bula liya... vaise bhi bachchon ki khushi se badh kar mere liye kuchh nahin... itne saalon baad iss ghar mein shehnai ki awaaz goonji hai... kaash tum sab log bhi aa paate lekin bahu chahti thi ki sab kuchh simple hi ho toh isliye saari rasmein Sameer ne ghar par hi karwayi hai... itna khush tha ki saari taiyari khud apne haathon se ki akele lekin koi kami nahin hone di khushiyon mein aur bahu ke swagat mein... sach kahun toh aaj apne bete ko itne dinon baad khush dekhkar dil ko thoda sa sukoon mila hai... kaash"

Arjun's eyes brimmed with tears losing all his hopes... Naina pressed the red button disconnected the call without hearing further, with a smile, "bhaiya, jo huaa us mein sirf aur sirf meri galti thi... yun kisi ko bataye bina aa gayi aur phir itne dinon tak sabse chhup kar rahi... maine toh aapko bhi apni kasam dekar rok diya tha... kaash maine itna waqt nahin lagaya hota apna faisla badalne ke liye toh shayad aaj haalat itne na bigadte... lekin mein khush hoon ki Sameerji ne apni khushiyon ki raah chun li... aur dekhiye na Nanu bhi kitne khush hai... mein bhi toh yahi chahti thi ki voh khush rahe toh ab ismein dukhi hone ki kya baat hai... aakhir uss ghar ko sambhalne aur Sameer ka saath dene ke liye unka pyaar aaj unhein mil hi gaya"

She stood holding her tears plastered a force smile on her face, "hamari kismat mein ek dusre ka saath sirf itna hi likha tha isliye humari itani koshisho ke baad bhi aaj hum alag ho hi gaye... aur ab meri zindagi mera pariwaar sirf aap log ho aur meri beti... aaj se mein apni zindagi ki nayi shuruaat karna chahti hoon jiske liye mujhe aapka support aur himmat chahiye... lekin please wada kijiye ki aaj ke baad hum mein se koi bhi Sameer ki baat ya uska naam bhi nahin lega kisi ke saamne... mein nahin chahti ki meri wajah se unki zindagi ya unki khushiyon mein koi bhi pareshaani aaye... hamara rishta hamesha saari duniya se chhupa hua rhaa lekin aaj unki iss shaadi ki news saari duniya ko pata hai... mein nahin chahti ki meri wajah se unhein ab koi bhi takleef ho..." seeing the situation was not in her favour anymore, Arjun and Shefali promise to keep her relation with Sameer hid from entire world... as they decided they didn't even tell his name and identity to Swati...

One of Arjun's friends has his own event management company and Naina joined him to learn some experience... with Arjun and Shefali's support she put her best in learning and soon she starts handling small events by her own alone...

Swati also started working in a reputed hospital to gain experience... she was way much qualified and can easily get job in any big hospital but after her heart break she wanted to keep a low profile as never wanted to meet him again in future, even professionally as they both are from same profession... except Naina, even Arjun and Shefali was also not aware of her heart break and let her decide on her career as per her wish...

After a year Swati and Naina decided to go back to India with her little one... though Arjun was against of their decision but lastly, he agreed to them for their happiness... he still has few years left to complete his contract before going back to India... Shefali wanted to come back as never wanted her both sisters to leave alone but how can Naina and Swati let her stay away from Arjun... on Shefali's instance they agreed to stay back at her ancestral house in Goa rather staying in any metro city...

Shefali and Swati has brought up in this city and has so many known to people around which will be safe for two girls to stay alone with a toddler...

Coming back to India, Swati joined City hospital to do her practice and Naina started her own business as a "wedding planner.

With their little bundle of joy Naina and Swati forget all their pains and starts a new life ahead...

अधूरी ख्वाहिशों का मर जाना जरूरी है...

भुला कर सारी तकलीफे आगे बढ़ जाना जरूरी है!
