Nanu after spending some more endearing family moments laughing, making joke of each other, left outside on context of some work leaving the love birds alone...

Sameer seeing her smiling whole heartedly feels relaxed... finally his plan and all efforts worked well to get her back to her self-one... he was glad knowing how much Naina persists Nanu to forgive him even when he was the one who always tortured her and make her cry... but somewhere feel more guilty on his earlier actions when he was wishing to let her go away from him... even if it was more for her happiness but whatever he has done has no explanation now... she was innocent and nowhere was on fault but bear all his rudeness and wrong doings...

Seeing him so lost Naina jerked asking, "ab aap itane pareshaan kyun ho... ab toh Nanu ne bhi aapko maaf kar diya na..."

Sameer looked at her cute innocent face who was happy for him, "Nanu ki maafi se jo galtiyaan maine ki voh toh kam nahin ho jaati na... mujhe maloom hai tumne Nanu ko nahin batay hoga ki maine tumhein kitne dukh diye hai... maine jo bhi tumhare saath kiya, tumhein rulaya, bina tumhari baat sune tumhein punish kiya, voh kisi bhi lihaaz se maafi ke laayak nahin... aaj mein kuchh bhi karoon par yeh gunaah jo mein kar chuka hon uska pachhtava mujhe zindagi bhar rahega... tumhara dil bohot bada hai lekin mere gunaah maafi ke laayak nahin"

आज मैंने खुद से एक वादा किया है,
माफ़ी मांगूंगा तुझसे तुझे रुसवा किया है,
हर मोड़ पर रहूँगा मैं तेरे साथ साथ,
अनजाने में मैंने तुझको बहुत दर्द दिया है।

Naina was astonished seeing him still in so much guilt for his rude behavior towards her... their relation has changed with time and she almost forget everything... she tried to consol him, "mein maanti hoon aapne jo kiya voh nahin karna chahiye tha lekin us mein saari galti aapki bhi nahin thi... jin haalaton mein hamari shaadi huyi, jaise mujhe yeh tak nahin pata tha ki aapka naam kya hai, aise mein mujh par shaq karna normal tha... kaun yakeen karega ki aaj ke zamane mein koi bhi ladki bina naam jaane, pehchane kisi anjaan se yun achanak shaadi ke liye raazi ho jaayegi..."

Her eyes got wet saying, "maine bhi shuru mein sirf apna beti hone ka farz nibhaya aur aapse sach chhupaya... yahaan tak ki aapse meri pehli shaadi bhi chhupayi gayi thi... jab har taraf se jhuth aur dhokha mile toh kisi par bharosa karna namumkin hai... lekin phir bhi waqt padne par aapne mera saath diya, mujhe galat sahi ki pehchaan karayi... infact aapne toh hamesha mujhe roka tha galat karne se..." she recalled how initially she was having blind trust on her fake parents and childhood friend who always mislead her...

Sameer wiping her tears said, "lekin tumne toh mujhse kabhi koi jhuth nahin bola tha... aur maine auron ki galtiyon ki saza tumhein di..."

Naina, "lekin sach chhupaya toh mere apno ne hi tha na aur na chahte huye bhi mein unke iss gunaah mein hissedaar thi... jo halaaton ne hamare saath kiya uske liye ek dusre ko ilzaam dena galat hoga na... aur maine toh kabhi aapse iss jhuth ke liye maafi bhi nahin maangi... dhokha toh aapko bhi mila tha na mujhse aur mere pariwaar se... jab dil donon ka dukha ho toh maafi koi ek kyun maange..." she realize it's always Sameer who apologize her earlier also but never blamed her for anything... he was also deceived by her family and hurt his feelings...

Sameer smiled seeing her so selfless and innocent, "lekin phir bhi Naina, mein nahin chahta ki tum iss gunaah ke liye mujhe kabhi bhi maaf karo... aane wala kal hamari purani galtiyon ko kam nahin kar sakta... mein chahta hoon yeh guilt mujh mein hamesha rahe aur zindagi bhar mein iske liye pachhtaau... tumhare aansuon ka bojh mujhe hamesha yaad dilayega ki maine tumhare saath kitna galat kiya tha jo sirf ek sorry kehne se theek nahin hoga... mera yahi guilt zindagi mein mujhe kabhi yeh gunaah dobara nahin karne dega..."

He said with utmost sincerity, "aur aaj jo bhi tumne kiya, jis tarah tumne meri har galti maaf kar ke hamare rishtey ko ek aur mauka diya, aur jis tarah tumne Nanu ko mana kar mujhe mere Nanu ka pyaar vaapas dilaya uske liye jitna bhi thanks kahoon kam hoga... mein duniya mein har gam sah sakta hoon par Nanu ki narajagi mujhe andar se tod rahi thi... duniya mein Nanu ke alawa mera koi nahin jo mujhe itna pyaar karta ho... Nanu mujhse kitna naraaz the par tumne jhat se mana liya... mujhe toh laga tha ki zindagi bhar mujhse baat nahin karenge... par tum thi na, jiski ek muskaan ne Nanu ka saara gussa chhoo mantar kar diya..."

Naina lowering her eyes feels little embarrassed, "aisa nahin hai... Nanu aapse sach mein bohot pyaar karte hai... balki maafi toh mujhe aap donon se maangani chahiye... iss narajagi ki asli wajah toh mein hi thi na... meri wajah se jo galatfahmi ho gayi thi maine bas voh dur ki... dekha jaaye toh mere ek chhote se doubt ki wajah se aapko kitna sab kuchh sehna pada... uss din party mein Rocky ne jo bhi mujhse kaha tha mujhe laga sach hai aur maine aap par shaq kiya... aapne kitna roka tha mujhe, lekin maine aapki ek nahin suni aur soch liya ki aap hi galat ho... meri ek galatfahmi ki wajah se Nanu bhi aapse naraaz hokar kitne dukhi the... aap aur Nanu jo ek dusre ka pariwaar ho vahi dur ho gaye..."

Sameer hold her hand replied straight looking into her eyes, "sirf Nanu nahin, tum bhi mera pariwaar ho... balki sach kahun toh tumne mujhe pariwaar ke sahi maayne samjhaye hai... mein toh bhool hi gaya tha ki ghar pariwaar kya hota hai, rishety kya hote hai... Mummy ke jaane ke baad sab bikhar sa gaya tha... tumhare aane se pehle bas ek jimmedari si nibhaa raha tha business ki, voh bhi sirf Nanu ki khushi ke liye... na koi armaan, na sapne... mein toh uss ghar mein rehna bhi nahin chahta tha agar Nanu ne mujhe force nahin kiya hota... par ab man karta hai ghar vaapas aane ka... ek bahana jo mil gaya hai... achchha lagta hai soch kar ki ghar par koi aapka intzaar kar raha hoga, jo pyaar se na sirf apne haath se aapke liye aapki pasand ka khaana banayega balki kisi ke saath hone ka ehsaas bhi dilayega... so, all thanks to you to give me such feelings..."

Naina asked, "lekin ab toh aap khush ho na... matlab Nanu ne aapse baat bhi ki aur saare gile shikve bhi dur ho gaye... mein bas yahi chahti hoon ki aapka har sapna poora ho aur aap hamesha khush raho"

Sameer smiled slowly, "tumhein pata hai Naina mein tumhein yahaan isliye laaya tha ki tumhare dil se saari udaasi dur kar sakun... tumhein phir se muskurate huye dekhun... lekin mujhse pehle tumne mujhe surprise gift de diya... kaise ek hi din mein tumne mujhe meri saari khushiyaan vaapas dila di... mere Nanu ka pyaar mujhe vaapas dila di..."

Naina asked curiously, "par agar aap Nanu se itna pyaar karte ho toh unhein manane kyun nahin aaye pehle... I am sure agar aap samjhate toh voh jaroor samajh jaate... aakhir aapse itna pyaar jo karte hai..."

Sameer, "mein bohot darr gaya tha Naina... Nanu ko pehle hi ek attack aa chuka hai aur unka heart operation kuchh dinon pehle hi hua tha... aise mein unki narajagi, itna gussa unke liye  bilkul theek nahin tha... agar meri wajah se unhein kuchh ho jaata toh mein khud ko kabhi maaf nahin kar paata... mein unhein aur khud ko thoda waqt dena chahta tha taaki sab theek kar sakun... aur phir itna sab ho gaya ki yahaan aane ka waqt hi nahin mila..."

He sighed deeply, "Naina, tum jaanti ho uss waqt hamare halaat kaise the, sab kitna uljha hua tha aise mein unhein kya kah kar convince karta... agar manata bhi toh kya kehta jab mein khud hi nahin samajh pa raha tha ki hamare aane wale kal mein kya hoga... mein unhein aur stress nahin dena chahta tha kyunki mujhe maloom tha ki voh sirf tabhi khush honge jab voh hum donon ko ek dusre ke saath khush dekhenge... aur aaj yeh saari khushiyaan sirf tumhari wajah se mili hai mujhe... so thanks once again..."

Naina feels overwhelmed on his open confession... though he still not cleared his thoughts about their future but the way he cares for her and happy with her presence in his life, his feelings were very much evident... no words were even required any more... if he still needs time to voice out his feelings, she is willing to do so giving him space to gets comfortable with her... after talking to Nanu, she knew his apprehensions and reason for not very vocal in sharing or expressing his feelings with others...

Their moment broke with a soft knock on the door... Pandit entered grinned widely, "arey waah meri jaadugarni behen... sher ki maand mein ghus kar aaj jo tu ne bahaduri ka kaam kiya hai, tujhe toh bravery award milna chahiye... aaj ke baad toh pakka mein teri team mein hi rahunga... iss nalayak ke chakkar mein toh Nanu se kitni gaaliyaan padi hai bachpan se kya bataau... aur iss baar toh joote padne ki bhi ummid thi..."

Sameer hit on his arm showing fake anger, "haan, jaise aaj mujhe chhod kar bhaaga tha... voh toh sirf Naina thi jisne mera saath diya varna mein akele kaise sab sambhalta... beta agali baar aana mere paas jab Preeti se bachane ke ideas chahiye honge toh... dhokhebaaz..."

Pandit ignoring his anger, held Naina in a brotherly hug, "lekin jo bhi ho, tujhe Sorry bolna toh banta hai mera bhi... tujhe galat samajh kar shuru mein tere saath jo bhi galat kiya hum donon ne voh nahin karna chahiye tha... tujhe behen kah kar bhi tera saath nahin diya, tujh par vishwas nahin kiya... dosti ka farz nibhate nibhate mein shayad ek bhai hone ka farz bhool gaya tha..."

Sameer pulling her back towards him said, "sorry... lekin maafi nahin milegi kyunki maine Naina ko mana kiya hai... kuchh gunaah maafi ke laayak nahin hote..." he still is in guilt to hurt her...

Pandit seeing his faces so serious understood his pain of feeling guilty... to lighten everyone's mood he said smacking on his head, "tera tu dekh... vaise bhi agar isase maafi nahin mili toh iski lady don friend mujhe kachcha chaba jayegi... mujhe meri behen jaroor maaf karegi... behene toh hoti hi pyaari hai par suna hai biwi se maafi milna mushkil hota hai... toh tera tu jaan..." he laughed making fun of him...

Naina laughed hearing their banter, "bas kijiye ab aap donon... jo ho gaya ab uske liye koi aur nahin sochega... voh bas ek galatfahmi thi jo ab theek ho gayi... Nanu toh itane pyaare hai ki unki narazagi dur karne ke liye mein kuchh bhi kar sakti thi... aur kal toh unka birthday bhi hai toh ab sirf usi ki planning hogi..."

Pandit replied, "birthday ki taiyari... tumhein pata nahin par Nanu ko bilkul pasand nahin unka birthday manana... voh toh bas kal pooja karenge aur kuchh nahin..." he knew the reason of pooja organize by Nanu on that day in memory of Sameer's mother...

Naina winked to Sameer said naughtily, "aur jaise hum maan jaayenge... aapko pata hai na Nanu kitne shaitaan hai toh hum bhi unhi ke bachche hai... iss baar unhein apna birthday hamare style mein manana hi padega... cake bhi katega aur party bhi hogi..."

Sameer & Pandit taking a deep sigh fold his hand in front of her, "jaisi aapki aagya Naina Devi... hum sirf aapke orders follow karenge aaj se... vaise bhi jab Nanu ki nahin chali aapke aage toh hum toh koshish bhi nahin karenge..." they burst into laughter making fun of her...

Seeing time, Kaanji called them out for lunch... Pandit went ahead when Sameer hold her hand to stop, "thanks Naina... aaj yeh hansi, yeh masti sirf tumhari wajah se hai... I hope tum bhi khush ho na yahaan aa kar..."

Naina replied, "khush... aap nahin samjhenge ki aapne aaj mujhe kya diya hai... hamesha se chahti thi ki koi aisa ho jo pyaar se sar par haath phere, aashirwaad de, koi ho jise aapke rone se farq pade, jo aapko sirf muskurata dekhna chaahe... aur yeh sab Nanu se milkar poora hua hai... thank you so much mujhe yahaan lane ke liye... mujhe Nanu se phir se milwane ke liye... aap nahin samjhenge ki ek hi mulaqat mein Nanu kitne apne se lagne lage the mujhe..." she keeps praising Nanu excitedly making someone's heart burnt with jealousy...

Sameer smiled faintly thinking, "sirf Nanu, aur mein... mera kya... mein jo itane dinon se koshish kar raha hoon uska kya... mujhe toh kabhi nahin kahti ki mein bhi iska apna hoon... yahaan bhi Nanu ne mera patta kaat diya... huh..."

Coming out from their room they all joined at lunch table... Kaanji served all Sameer's favorite dishes making him surprised... he asked to tease him, "yeh sab tu ne mere liye banaya hai... kya baat hai tujhe bada pyaar aa raha hai aaj mujhpar... par kya faayda, taste toh vahi sada sa hoga na..."

Kaanji laughed looking at Nanu, "bade maalik mujhe toh hairani hai yeh itna bada business kaise sambhalte hai... laga tha shaadi ke baad thodi akkal aa jayegi lekin lagta hai jo thi voh bhi Naina Bhabhi ke pyaar mein ud gayi..."

Pandit also teased him, "itane saalon se tere haath ka khaana kha kar insaan khud ud jaaye phir akkal kya cheez hai... humein sab pata hai tu humse apni bachpan ki dushmani iss khaane ke jariye nikalta hai..."

Kaanji replied squeezing his eyes, "itna bhi dimaag kharaab nahin mera ki aap donon ke liye itani mehanat karunga... yeh sab toh Naina Bhabhi ne banaya hai aapke liye... maine toh kaha bhi kya jarurat hai par maani hi nahin... lagta hai aapki shakal par taras aa gaya hoga... ab jo pyaar jatana hai inse jataaiye..." he left in kitchen to get hot chapatis...

Naina chocked suddenly hearing his comments... knowing how much Nanu is angry with Sameer, she noticed that he was not eating properly... just to lift his mood she helped Kaanji making his favorite dish when she went in kitchen to get coffee after leaving him in room with Nanu to patch up...

Sameer handed her water rubbing her back cursing Kaanji, "tum paani peeyo... yeh toh kuchh bhi bakwaas karta rehta hai..." Nanu and Pandit laughed making both the couples blushed more...

Nanu smiled seeing Sameer concerned for Naina asked, "vaise Sameer, tu ne Naina ko aashram dikhaya... matlab kal se aayi hai aur iss ghar mein hi bandh hai... isey aashram dikha, aur sabse milwa bhi de... jab se sab ne suna hai iske aane ke baare mein sab milna chahte hai isase... sabko pata toh chale meri beti kitni pyaari hai..."

Sameer agreed him to show her complete aashram which was extremely huge... Nanu took Pandit along with him to give some privacy to the couple...

Sameer brings Naina with him showing the aashram, "Naina, you know yeh sirf naam se hi ek aashram hai... basically Nanu ne isey poora modern version diya hua hai... yahaan rehne wale saare bachche anaath hai, voh buzurg hai jinka koi nahin, voh aurate jinka koi sahara nahin... par yeh aashram kisi charity se nahin chalta... Nanu ne yahaan rehne wale har ek bachche, bade ko independent banaya hai taaki voh kabhi kisi par depend na rahe... Nanu kabhi charity mein believe nahin karte... unaka manana hai ki har insaan ko bhagwan ne khud ko paalne laayak bana kar bheja hai toh kisi aur ke sahare kyun rehna..."

Naina asked out of curiosity, "isiliye hamari company ki files mein iss aashram ki koi details nahin thi... na koi funding na koi donation..."

Sameer nodded smiling feeling proud on Nanu, "yes, Nanu ki wajah se yahaan rehne wale bachche apni education ke saath saath, earnings karke apni padaai ka kharcha khud uthaate hai... jaise chhote bachche jinko paintings karna pasand hai ya mitti ke toys banana, Nanu unki paintings aur toys ki exhibition laga kar ya local market mein unhein bech kar usi earning se unki hi fees pay karwate hai... jo ladies akeli hai, widow hai, jinka koi sahara nahin voh jis bhi kaam mein maahir hai vahi unka profession banwa diya hai... like tailoring, cooking, aachar papad banana, all this... they are more independent than any others... infact yahaan bohot se bachche itne brilliant hai jinhein scholarship bhi mili huyi hai studies ke liye... jinki padaai poori ho jaati hai aur voh apna career banane laayak ho jaate hai voh yahaan se chale jaate hai..."

Naina praised Nanu's vision to not to make this aashram like a charity place which depends on others... everyone staying here is independent and live a respectful life... he makes them learnt to live a respectful life with dignity... Sameer showed all portions of aashram, small workshops where ladies worked hard to earn for themself...

Sameer introduced her to all ladies and elders working there when heard a soft voice from back, "chhote Kunwar aap yahaan hain aur mein aapko kab se dhundh raha tha... mujhe pata chala aap aaye hai toh ummid thi ki isi bahane Naina bitiya se bhi mil lunga..."

Naina turned looking at him and bent to touch his feet when he stopped her in between, "nahin bitiya... maine kaha tha na ki mein bade maalik aur iss pariwaar ka sirf ek mamuli sa sewak hoon... aise mere paer chhuna aapke liye sahi nahin hai..." he feels slight hesitate to see Naina touching his feet like a family member...

Naina smiled replying, "aur maine bhi kaha tha na ki mein aapse umra mein bohot Chhoti hoon aur aap mujhe mere naam se bulayenge... aur paer chhune se toh bado ka aashirwaad milta hai toh mein kaise yeh mauka chhod sakti hoon..." he smiled giving his blessings to her...

Sameer looked at her surprisingly that how did she knew him when Ramdhari explained him about their meet on the very next day of their marriage...

Naina, "uss din ke baad kaka kabhi aaye hi nahin aur mein aapko batana bhi bhool gayi" she keeps talking to Ramdhari asking about his health and informing about Chinni, her studies and that how much she always supports her...

Sameer smiled thinking, "bas ek mulaqat mein kisi ko bhi apna bana leti hai... mujhse pehle toh Ramdhari Kaka ki favorite ban gayi thi, isiliye Chinni hamesha iske aas paas ghumari rehti hai... pata nahin mera number kab aayega" he keeps looking them both chatting so lovingly as seems they are so close to each other...

After saying a quick bye to Ramdhari, Sameer bring her again backside of the house where they spent their last evening in garden... his all attempts to see her back in normal seems succeeded... and now this is the time for him to express his own feelings...

Though he wants to make his confession in a way to fulfill her dreams on a very special day of her life but now at least he can start making her realize his feelings slowly... her importance in his life...

Sitting back in garden Naina was all busy in praising Nanu for making such a beautiful paradise... she admires all his hard work without much of financial support from others... though he has no lack of funds, but he made this beautiful heaven by his own efforts...

Sameer frowned thinking, "socha tha saara din saath rahenge, akele time spend karenge par yeh toh jab dekho Nanu Nanu karti rehti hai... meri toh ek baar bhi taarif nahin ki... yahaan lane ka idea toh mera hi tha na... Nanu ki narazagi ke baad bhi itna risk maine liya aur taarif saari Nanu ko mil rahi hai... meri toh koi importance hi nahin bachi yaar..."

Naina jerked him keeping her soft hands on his shoulder, "arey aap achanak kahaan kho gaye... agar aap thak gaye toh aap rest kar lijiye na... hum baaki baatein baad mein kar lenge..."

Sameer plastered a fake smile on his face said, "nahin... thakna kaisa... mujhe toh bada maza aa raha hai Nanu ki taarif sunkar... kab se Nanu puraan hi toh sun raha hoon... sach kahun mujhe toh pata hi nahin tha ki mere Nanu itne achchhe aur mahaan insaan hai..." he said sarcastically making faces...

Naina grinned widely seeing his grumpy face, "haan voh toh hai... Nanu hai hi itane pyaare ki ek hi mulaqat mein koi bhi unse pyaar karne lagega... aur mere liye toh voh ek adarsh hai jinhone mujhe itne pyaar se apnaya..." she said teasing him more...

Before he gets more irritated she said smilingly holding his hand, "aur pyaare ho bhi kyun nahin, aakhir voh aapke Nanu jo hai... aur sach kahun jitna Nanu ko jaana hai, samjha hai, ehsaas hua ki aap bilkul unaki hi toh parchhayi ho... baahar se jitne sakht andar se utane hi naram... yeh Nanu ki hi parvarish hai jis mein koi chhal kapat nahin... yeh unhi ke aadarsh hai ki itane bade businessman hone ke baad bhi aap kabhi kisi business deal mein koi fraud, ya cheating nahin karte... aur na hi apne rishton mein koi dikhava ya jhuth... jise bhi apnate hai poore dil se apnate hai, jaise Nanu ne mujhe apnaya hai..."

She said giving a soft smile, "pata hai log aapki kahi har baat par kyun vishwas karte hai... kyunki unhein pata hai aap kabhi kisi ko dhokha nahin denge... aur yeh imaandari ka gunn toh aap mein Nanu se hi aaya hai na... jaise Nanu ke saath hone se lagta hai ki koi aapka apna aapke saath hai vaise hi aap ke saath se ek apnapan, ek secure feeling aati hai, ki aap kabhi kuchh galat nahin hone denge mere saath... jis tarah se aap apni dosti, apna har rishta, apna har wada nibhate hai voh sirf Nanu ki seekh hi ho sakti hai... toh huye na Nanu taarif ke kaabil..."

Sameer smiled playfully poking on her forehead, "apni baaton mein fasana koi tumse seekhe... tumhein toh writer banana chahiye, jo shabdon ke jaal mein padne wale ko uljha de... vaise yeh Nanu ki taarif thi ya meri..."

She laughed shrugging her shoulder casually, "jaisa aapko theek lage aap samajh sakte hai kyunki meri najaron mein aap donon ek hi ho, alag nahin... jis tarah aapki zindagi mein Nanu ki ehmiyat, unki jagah sabse uppar hai vaise hi Nanu ke dil, unki rooh mein aap baste ho... yeh voh ehsaas hai jo sirf dil se mehsoos kiya ka sakta hai ... jab aaj Nanu aur aapko ek saath dekh kar, donon se baat kari toh mujhe pata hi nahin laga ki kaun jyaada achahha hai... aapki har baat mein Nanu ki jhalak dikhti hai..."

Her eyes suddenly turned wet, "mujhe nahin pata aap yakeen karenge ki nahin lekin aane wali zindagi bhale hi humein kisi bhi raah par le jaaye, hamari zindagi mein koi bhi mod aaye, par jitni respect mere dil mein aapke liye hai voh jagah koi nahin le sakta... marte dam tak yeh..."

Sameer keep his finger instantly on her lips making her quiet, "shh... khabardaar jo dobara yeh baat kahi bhi toh... Naina, tum nahin jaanti jab tum hospital mein thi toh hum sab par kya gujari thi... kaise ek ek pal kata hai iss intzaar mein ki kab tumhein hosh aayega, kab tum apni aankhen khol kar humein dekhogi... tumhein kho dene ka darr kya hota hai yeh humne har bitate pal mein mehsoos kiya hai..." his own eyes got wet thinking the most painful moments and days he spent in hospital waiting for her to gain back her senses... the most frightful instants of his life...

Naina holding her ears cutely smiled, "sorry... aage se kabhi aisa nahin kahungi... par yeh sach hai ki aapke jaisa koi nahin aur jitna mujhe pata hai Nanu ko aap par bohot garv hai... bhale hi kahe na par unki aankhen batati hai jab voh aapko pyaar se dekhte hai aur..." she suddenly halt seeing someone coming silently from behind and before they react, the person blindfold Sameer's eyes from back, giving him a surprise...
