Sameer seeing her rushing out from room, stood gazing her until she disappear from his eyes... a tear rolled on his cheek mockingly, "buddhu ladki... aaj bhi dil ki baat chhupana nahin aata isey, lekin hamesha ki tarah isaki aankhen dil ki saari kahaani bata deti hai... nahin jaanta kya wajah hai jo tum ne itna bada kadam uthaya mujhse dur jaane ka lekin dil ko tasalli huyi ki aaj bhi tumhara dil vaise hi mere ehsaas se dhadakta hai jaise pehle dhadakta tha... aaj bhi tumhari has dhadkan mein sirf mera hi naam hai... I love you Naina aur jaldi hi tum bhi mujhse apne dil ki baat kahogi... jo bohot kuchh adhura rah gaya, jise tum chhod aayi thi usey poora karne ka waqt aa gaya hai... and promise iss baar tum mujhse dur nahin ja paaogi... I will never let you go away from me now... never"

Flashback (at resort)

His heart skipped a beat, after seeing Naina standing close to Pooja and chatting with a soft smile on her face. From past four years, he searched her at every possible place, whenever he got any clue of her presence, but never got succeed. Considering her and baby's safety he never took any harsh step and publicise her picture on any social media to find her. He secretly appointed a private detective to look for her with no outcome till now.

And today, seems all his prayers got answered in form of the beautiful creature of God, who took his heart 7 years ago in first sight... his dream girl...

He knew how much deeply she was in love with him but never got the reason of her sudden disappearance from his life... though the beginning of their marriage was bitter but with blessings of almighty they reached to a certain level where no one was willing to stay without each other... but destiny plays its own role and makes them apart, oblivious to any reason behind...

He was upset and disappointed in her. For the past 4 years, he was searching for her day and night. His whole life had turned into a nightmare. She could have talked to him before running away from home. He loved her, cared her, cherished her so much yet she didn't have an ounce of trust in him. It pained him more to think that she didn't trust him enough to talk to him before taking such a huge decision of their life's.

For years he had craved for her presence, her touch, and he wondered if he said a word, it would all disappear... he didn't avert his gaze from the woman he had loved and valued for years... the woman he hadn't forgotten and the only person he yearned for like oxygen... but to his utter disappointment, in return gets dishearten hearing her addressed him as "Mr Maheshwari" - as a stranger

Keeping himself insane, whole time, his mind clouded with beautiful sight ahead but could only stand dumbfounded still, elbows folded as he watched her in awe and so much of pain too... this felt so unreal that Naina didn't even recognize him after all these years...

How many times had he wished for to see her? how many times has he longed for her to come back to him? He'd dreamt of their reunion, wishing that he could turn back the hands of time and go back to those days when they both were helplessly in love... he had always imagined it, but now since that it was all happening in real, he felt numb... she didn't even once lift her beautiful orbs giving a slight glance to him...

With so much of his efforts he was able to make her speak his name but now seems everything goes vain... he saw the cold look in her eyes, and he felt his heart break into a million pieces again... they are now again so much distanced with each other... seems he again lost her before getting her...

But how can he stay away from his love life without which he can't even imagine to breath... he lost her once but not ready to lose her again... if she thought he was letting her go away without making more than enough attempt to fix things once and for all, then she doesn't know him... he never gave up, and if anything she had egged him on now... he would go to different lengths to get her... but never let her go away from him again...

Well, if she wanted to play a game, then let's take some fun out of it...

Suddenly an idea came across in his mind and he interrupt her discussion with Pooja Didi... even if he noticed her dull face, he denied to Pooja straight dealing with her and dragged her away from the resort... he pretends how much he disliked of the idea for getting his best friend married in this resort, that too planned by Naina...

The moment they went outside where his car was parked Pooja stops him holding his arm, "Sameer, what happen suddenly... it was all going good, and I really liked her ideas... she was just perfect and" she was absolutely annoyed of his rude behaviour...

He interrupts giving a soft smile, "she is perfect, as always and believe me di, no one can be so perfect except her for this weeding planning... aur mujhse jyaada yeh baat koi aur nahin jaanta kyunki yeh shaadi usase achchhi koi aur plan kar hi nahin sakta... ek vahi hai jo Preeti aur Pandit ke dil aur unki feelings ko sabse pehle samjhi thi..." he fixed his gaze on her confused and curious expression about his behaviour few minutes back...

But since he doesn't want to hide anything from her anymore, he said slowly, "Didi, she in Naina, my Naina, my dream girl... vahi Naina jisne Pandit aur Preeti ko paas laane mein sabse pehle support kiya tha..." how can he forget that it was Naina who encourage Pandit to confess his feelings to Preeti

Pooja's eyes widened covering her mouth with her palms, "no ways... really... is she... means she is your dream girl... Naina... Naina hi voh ladki hai..." it was all unbelievable for her to accept that the girl with whom she was discussing from last few weeks about Pandit's wedding is Sameer's dream girl... if she would have even a slightest idea, she might have planned their meeting earlier...

Sameer nodded smilingly, "how can I be wrong in recognizing her di... you know how much I waited to see her back... but seems she didn't..." his voice chocked feeling hurt on her indifferent behaviour seeing him after so many years...

Pooja still confused asked, "if she is your Naina, then why you both behave so strangely inside... I mean aisa laga jaise tum donon aaj pehli baar hi mile ho... as far as I heard from you, tum donon ek dusre se bohot pyaar karte the... lekin"

Sameer cut her in between, "karte the nahin aaj bhi karte hai... atleast meri feelings aaj bhi vaisi hi hai jaisi jab usey pehli baar dekh kar thi... lekin pata nahin kyun aaj uski aankhon mein apne liye ek ajeeb si hichkichahat dekhi... theek vaise hi jaisi hamari shaadi ke pehle din thi... aaj phir vahi duri mehsoos huyi jaise jab hum pehli baar aamne saamne the, bilkul do ajnabiyon ki tarah..." it was indeed painful for him to see her behaving like a stranger.

Pooja feels dishearten seeing his gloomy face... she asked, "toh... ab kya socha hai... I mean jaise tu achanak se baahar aa gaya, usey shayad bura na laga ho... atlease ek baar baat toh kar ke dekh ya phir tu ne koshish karne se pehle hi haar maan li aur palat kar uske paas nahin jaana chahta..." she was highly confused on his behaviour as never expected him to accept his defeat so easily...

Sameer smiled holding her hand, "didi aapko maloom nahin lekin uske dil mein apne liye jagah banane ke liye mujhe pichhli baar kitni mehanat karni padi thi... mujhe pyaar jatana nahin aata tha aur usey pyaar samajh nahin aata tha... hamesha se bohot khamosh aur apne dil ki baat apne dil mein hi rakhne ki aadata jo hai meri Naina ko... isliye uske dil ki baat uski jubaan par laana ek tarah se pahaad khodne ke baraabar hai... aur lagta hai ek baar phir history repeat ho rahi hai..."

Giving a naughty smile he said, "aur aapko toh maloom hai mujhe bachpan se hi mushkil raaste jyaada pasand aate hai... jo aasani se mil jaaye shayad uski kadra kam ho jaati hai aur meri Naina ka pyaar toh beshkimti hai... uske liye agar mujhe phir se utani hi mehanat karni padi toh mein karunga, lekin iss baar apne pyaar ko apne se dur nahin jaane dunga..."

Pooja smiled encouraging him, "yeh huyi na sachche aashiq wali baat... ab dekhte hai jisne tere dil ko churaya hai tu uske dil mein apani jagah dobara kaise banayega... lekin are you sure tu handle kar lega... agar help chahiye toh mein baat karun... shayad hum usey jaldi mana paaye..."

Sameer shook his head, "no di... thanks par yeh mere pyaar ki jung hai toh mujhe akele hi ladni hogi... bas aap promise kijiye ki jab tak mein sab theek nahin kar leta aap kisi ko bhi nahin bataoge ki Naina mujhe mil gayi hai... mein jaldi hi sab theek kar ke khud sabko Naina se milwa dunga... vaise bhi Pandit aur Preeti shaadi ke liye itani mushkil se maane hai, I don't want to disturb them anymore... aur ab toh hamare paas personal wedding planner bhi hai... after all shaadi ki taiyari jo karwani hai usase..." he winked naughtily making her relieved that soon his little brother will get her love life back...

Pooja agreed instantly, "alright... jaisa tu kahe, lekin tu karega kya... I mean kuchh idea socha hai... vaise toh abhi tak yeh bhi nahin maloom ki voh tum sabse dur kyun gayi thi... I know you can handle lekin itna waqt beet gaya hai aur na jaane usne tujhse alag hokar kaise din kaate honge akele..."

Sameer assure her confidently, "don't worry di... mujhe pata hai aasani se Naina mujhe reason toh bataane se rahi kyunki baat agar itani hi simple hoti toh voh mujhse dur jaane ka decision leti hi nahin... so apni biwi ko manane ke liye ab thodi si ungli tedi karni padegi... vaise bhi voh mujhe hamesha se ziddi, khadus, sadu, weird, crazy aur na jaane kya kya kehti aayi hai, so let her see her real khadus romantic pati, jaisa kabhi usne sapne mein bhi nahin socha hoga..." he laughed remembering how much she got irritated with his weird styles earlier...

मोहताज़ नहीं तेरी एक बूँद की,
मुझे तो सारा समंदर चाहिए,
रिसते रिसते भी कभी ख़त्म न हो,
वो मोहब्बत मुझे मेरे अंदर चाहिए...

Settling inside car, they immediately headed back to airport... Sameer quickly made a call to his friend, who was running a private detective agency and searching for Naina from past few years... knowing how much Naina's sudden disappearance affects Preeti and Pandit, Sameer never informed anyone that he had hired a private detective to find her... Sameer informed him about his unexpected meeting with Naina in Goa and asked him to gather all possible information about her within few hours only...

Soon they left back for Delhi in his private charter plane, discussing all possible ways to handle the situation hiding from all others... Sameer knew how much this will impact on Preeti, who was deeply hurt when Naina left suddenly... even Pandit was also felt sad and delayed his own marriage plans until they found Naina... this is the time for his best friend to relish all beautiful moments of their life without any hindrance...

Dropping Pooja at Preeti's place, Sameer quickly collects his luggage and left from Maheshwari mansion informing Amrita that he had to go out for some urgent official meeting, without disclosing his location...

Even if Pandit was all there to handle business maters he has to inform him giving some fake excuse... his phone picked up in first ring by Pandit who was busy in handling meeting in his absence, "Sameer tu itani jaldi vaapas aa gaya Goa se... mujhe toh laga sab kuchh final karne mein time lagega... after all shaadi ki preparations koi majaak toh nahin"

Sameer laughed teasing him back, "kya baat hai yaar... badi besabri ho rahi hai shaadi ki... pehle toh maan hi nahin raha tha aur ab dekho intzaar nahin ho raha"

Pandit shyly scratching his neck replied, "yaar ab ka karun Preeti se wada jo kiya hai ki uske saare sapne poore karunga... mein toh aaj bhi yahi chahta hoon ki meri shaadi tabhi ho jab tu aur Munna settle ho jaaye... tumhari khushiyon ke bina meri yeh khushi bhi adhuri si lag rahi hai" he said feeling little sad as knowing how his two buddies are struggling to find their partners and in pain...

Sameer smiled encouraging her, "tu chinta mat kar... mera wada hai ki tu apni saari khushiyaan poore dil se enjoy karega... bas pray kar ki mein jis deal ke liye jaa raha hoon voh poori ho jaaye... believe me, teri shaadi ka sabse best gift hoga meri taraf se" he knew how much Pandit and Preeti were missing Naina's presence... if he will able to convince Naina and sorted out things between them before their marriage, it will be the best gift from his side to his besties who were always there with him in all his ups and downs...

Pandit asked confusingly, "lekin aisi kaun si deal hai jiske baare mein mujhe nahin pata... kuchh toh bata kahaan ja raha hai aur koi help toh nahin chahiye..." he was hell confused knowing Sameer is going out for few days without telling anyone about his work and place... they always shared everything single matter with each other, but its first time Sameer is hiding the matter from all...

Sameer smiled hiding his excitement, "bas tu intzaar kar mere aane ka... aur vaise bhi yeh meri zindagi ki sabse badi deal aur ismein haarna mein bilkul afford nahin kar sakta..."

Pandit still confused by his behaviour stopped asking more knowing if he is not willing to share so let it be... they respect their decision and always there to support each other... Sameer asked him to manage business for few days alone and until something extremely urgent is not required his attention, he should not be disturbed.

To avoid any suspicious about his location, he took a flight instead of his own private charter plane and reach Goa back before evening... at airport, he met with the person appointed by his detective friend to gather information about Naina... soon all required information was in his hands knowing that Naina was staying in Goa with one of her friends and a baby girl from last 3 years. She is working in a resort as wedding planner, keeping a very low profile being the major reason for not able to find her earlier...

Sameer reached straight to her house before she arrives and entered by breaking the lock to give her surprise... the moment he stepped inside, took a relieve sigh feeling her fragrance all around... he purposely left the lights off to avoid any suspicious from any neighbour... to get freshen up he looked at the room and went inside the bathroom, expecting Naina to be back at any time... he placed all his luggage in room to settle later...

But opposite to his expectations, Naina reached home all lost in her own world and didn't even realize that door was already open, and Sameer was inside the room...

Hearing someone's sniffing caused his attention expecting Naina to be back... the moment he stepped out, a smirk tugged at his lips as he caught her sight in the room... she was all lost not paying any heed to her surrounding while walking towards the washroom, not watching her way...

A chuckle left his lips, discerning what's coming... he mumbled under his breathe, "it's not a brilliant idea to not see where you are going sweetheart... she is still naïve and innocent like earlier..." the swiftness of his strides increased as he walked forward, his gaze on her, ready to prey...

"oouch!" she winced, crashing into him... and his hands didn't take long to snake around her slender waist to keep her still on her feet... shock was evident on her face from the sudden collision but surprise soon took over when her beautiful orbs snapped up to him, seeing the intruder...

And then he took in her features so closely after so many years passed... her luscious plump lips were slightly parted... the tips of her nose blushed along her already rosy cheeks while her doe shaped irises glittered under the dim lights, hypnotising his senses...

Perfection... everything about her was an epitome of perfection...

Sameer smirked recalling how much nervous she become realizing his presence around... even losing all her senses, she continued following his commands like earlier the way she was always selecting his dress to wear, making his favourite coffee... he doesn't know why but seeing her immense in his feelings, he was on cloud nine and can't stop himself teasing her anymore...

Their sudden intimate moments wiped off all his doubts and uneasiness to his unsettled heart... Naina's flushed cheeks and shy gaze depicts how much his presence, his touch still affects her... even after so many years pass, she was still not able to hide her feelings which displayed in her eyes instantly seeing him so close to her... a truly blessed feeling ensuring he has won the battle half-way already...

माना के जायज़ नहीं है तुमसे बेपनाह इश्क करना,
लेकिन जब तुम्हें देखा तो ठान लिया यह गुनाह करना है!
