Sameer remains standing there deeply lost in his thought seeing Munna so much disturbed due to all this ruckus. He was feeling bad that someone has misunderstood him and punished wrongly. He was eagerly wanted to meet that person and give a good piece of mind to misbehave with his friend.

Lost in his though he didn't realize when someone has entered in house. He jerked feeling a soft touch on his shoulder, but instantly a smile spread on his face seeing Naina standing, looking at him in confusion.

She realized instantly that he was pissed, worried and tensed a little. She kept her own problems aside, asked him in concern, "Sameer, are you alright" she asked getting confused seeing Sameer standing there all alone, completely lost somewhere.

Sameer smiled cupping her face in his palm, "I am fine... just I was missing you..." saying this he pulled her in his embrace inhaling her scent which calm him instantly.

Naina wanted to ask the reason behind his tensed mood, but then she decided to give him some time so that he would share it with her on his own. At the same time, she, too wanted to stay quiet and relax in his arms after all the mess happened with her.

Feeling her grip tightly around him, Sameer sensed that something had been going on in her mind making, which was disturbing her to the extent that she was feeling insecure or scared of something.

Parted slightly he smiled leaning slightly kissed on her lips asked, "hey what happen... why are you looking so tired and disturbed..." he asked realizing her stressed features. After Munna he gets more worried to see Naina in this condition.

Naina instantly hugged him again tightly keeping her head on his chest, "I was missing you Sameer..." he too wrapped his hands around her giving her assurance that she could keep her fear aside and talk to him freely.

He caressed her hair softly giving a soft peck, "kya huaa jaan... I know tum kuchh pareshaan ho... mujhe bhi nahin bataaogi..." he knew something is bothering her so much, but she is trying to hide in her smile.

Naina taking a deep sigh, parted slightly nodded her head, "Sameer, mein aapse kuchh bhi chhipana nahin chahti lekin aaj jo kuchh bhi hua..." she paused for a moment feeling hesitated, looked like she was struggling to say what she wanted to say.

Sameer giving an assuring smile said caressing her cheeks, "tell me jaan... you know that how much I love you and you can share anything with me... right..."

Naina took a deep breath said, "Sameer, I am sorry maine aapki baat nahin maani aur yun akele chali gayi... maine hamesha se sab akele hi manage kiya hai toh laga aaj bhi kar lungi lekin mein galat thi..." she paused for a moment said further, "actually voh aaj mein meeting ke liye gayi thi na Sagar ke saath uss client ke office, toh vahaan..."

Flashback...

After talking to Swati and convincing her to take Sameer along with them to hospital she laughed inwardly keeping her phone back in her bag mumbling, "saare paagal ek hi ghar mein base hai... I pray ki donon hospital ko maidan e jung bana kar kahin maha yudhh na shuru kar de... I hope agar yeh meeting nahin hoti toh mein Sameer ko akela chhod kar nahin aati..."

Taking a deep sigh guilt flushed over her face, "can't even imagine ki itane saal Sameer ne mere aur Nehu ke bina akele kaise kaate honge... mere saath toh Nehu thi jiski ek muskurahat mere saare dard kam kar deti thi, lekin Sameer... voh toh bilkul akele the aur uss galti ki saza bhugat rahe the jo maine ki thi un par vishwas na kar ke... lekin ab aisa kuchh nahin hoga aur hum hamesha saath rahenge..."

Her trance broke with her phone rings again showing caller Sagar. She picked up realizing she is now late for her meeting, "sorry Sagar... I am just reaching in five minutes..." pacing her speed quickly she reached the office seeing Sagar waiting for her outside.

The moment they turned to go inside the office discussing on points to discuss during their meeting, Sagar asked, "Naina madam... I think voh aadmi aapke pichhe pichhe yahaan tak aaya hai... aap jaanti ho kya usko..." he asked suspiciously looking at the person standing at a distance looking continuously towards Naina only. Even if they were entering in office building, the unknown person remains standing there.

Naina following his line of sight shook her head, "I don't think so... chhodo hoga koi idiot... apne aap chala jayega..." she said shrugging her shoulder as doesn't want to waste her time on some annoying trespasser. She was just wishing to complete this meeting fast and go back to her lifelines.

They entered in office resuming their meeting and soon it ended up with mutual agreement. Naina was more than eager to ensure all arrangements for next function at resort should be best, wishing to make the moment best for her bestie and brother. But somewhere unconsciously her mind diverted to the mysterious person she had seen outside but jerk the thought as she had never met him earlier.

Sagar smiled asking, "Naina madam, I must admire your charismatic confidence... mujhe toh uss supplier ko dekh kar aisa lag raha tha ki aaj humein loss ki deal sign karni padegi, lekin aapne kaise logics dekar usey apni sharton par manwa liya... na koi makkhanbaaji aur na hi koi dhokha... you convinced him with full reasonings..."

Naina smiled replying to him, "Sagar, hamesha yaad rakhna ki jis deal mein imaandaari nahin usmein kabhi faayda nahin hota... you can't believe but yeh sab maine Sameer se seekha hai... I mean vaise toh maine life mein kabhi koi cheating nahin ki lekin kuchh hi samay unke saath kaam karke mujhe samajh aaya ki business mein apni baat theek tarike se kaise present karte hai... I still missed working with him..." a soft smile spread on her face recalling the days when they stayed together whole time at home and office as well.

Sagar smiled appreciating him, "Sameer sir ki toh baat hi alag hai... you don't know ki kaise unhone mujhe encourage kiya ki mein apne dil ki baat Seher se kahoon... and finally I did it and now we are together... in fact voh toh khud intzaar kar rahi thi ki kab mein usase apne dil ki baat kahunga... aur yeh sab himmat mujhe Sameer sir se hi mili... he is a true love guru..." he laughed telling her about all the ideas given by Sameer to propose Seher.

Naina seeing time getting late said, "Sagar mein aaj bhi resort nahin aa paaungi... agar kuchh urgent ho toh you can call me... vaise bhi next function ki saari preparations mein khud aakar tum sab ko explain karungi... after all voh meri zindagi ki best wedding planning hogi... mere bhai aur meri sabse pyaari behen cum dost ke liye unka wedding gift..." she smiled heartedly thinking all possible ideas to make this moment of their life memorable... for forever.

Sagar bid a goodbye after taking instructions from her for what all he and Seher has to manage for today. Naina pulled out her mobile seeing so many messages from Sameer, revealing how much he is missing her presence.

Naina smiled mischievously thinking about their love moments, "huh, toh janaab se thodi der ki bhi duri bardasht nahin ho rahi... lekin sach kahun toh yeh duriyaan ab mujhse bhi bardasht nahin hoti... achchha hota unhein apne saath meeting mein le aati..." she laughed slowly realizing how her life has changed in few days only. Earlier she was so engrossed in her professional life along with in taking care of her little one, but now seems her whole life has changed, for good.

Lost in her thoughts, she took out her scooty keys from her bag but turned subconsciously towards her back, sensing someone's presence behind her. She was shocked to see the same person standing so close to her at a very short distance, whom Sagar has pointed earlier while they were going for meeting.

Naina didn't want to waste her time, but she couldn't help as the person was giving her a strange feeling, somewhat afraid of. She knows very well that she shouldn't suspect him, but she is afraid that her suspicions will change into reality that the stranger might be some paparazzi, invading their personal life as Sameer being a well-known personality or may be some goon who wanted to take advantage of Sameer's relation with her.

Naina finding his intense gaze on her feels little nervous thinking, "mujhe akele aana hi nahin chahiye tha... Sameer ne kitna kaha tha ki car le jaau lekin mein bhi na ek number ki idiot hi hoon... ab pata nahin yeh kaun namuna hai jo mujhe stalk kar raha hai aur aise ghure ja raha hai... aaj kal log itane well-dressed hokar bhi aisi cheap harkate kaise karte hai... shakal se toh kitna pada likha intellectual lag raha hai aur harkate..." she realize the person in two piece suit, looks very sophisticated and well educated but still behaving so strangely.

She felt more nervous seeing him approaching her closely. She tried to walk away from him towards her scooty parked at a distance, but he blocked her way, "excuse me Madam..." he called her making her stop to move.

Naina stood dumbfound hearing him calling her but keeping a firm face replied, "yes... kya kaam hai mujhse... mein toh aapko jaanti bhi nahin..." she asked furrowing her eyebrow.

Person also seems slightly nervous but determined to ask, "actually mujhe aisa lagta hai jaise maine aapko pehle kahin dekha hai... I mean voh... matlab shayad... aap... aap aur mein..." he fumbled framing his words when Naina shouts, "what... sharam nahin aati aise kisi ladki ko chhedte huye... Mister aapko bata doon ki mein shaadi shuda hoon aur aap jaise namuno ko theek karna achchhe se jaanti hoon... agar mere husband ko pata chala na toh dekhna aapka kya haal karte hai... badtameej..." she shouted back on him expecting him to back off immediately.

But to her dismay he still persists her to stay and talk with him, "sorry par aap shayad galat samajh rahi hai... mera matlab tha ki mein aapse pehle mila hoon shayad... if you don't mind kya hum kisi shaant jagah par jaa sakte hai... mujhe aapse kuchh baat karni hai... akele mein..." he said slowly to make her calm as the place was extremely crowdy and not possible to have a peaceful talk in the middle of road.

He was caught off guard by a sudden slap on his face. He felt half of his face go numb and his ear rang and buzzed. He raised his eyes and meet with her burning eyes.

"How dare you ask me to go some lonely place with you... tumme mujhe samjha kya hai ki mein koi aisi vaisi ladki hoon jo tumhare saath akele mein kahin bhi chali jaaungi... mein toh tumhein jaanti tak nahin..." hearing her sharp angry voice he suddenly realized his wrong choice of words. He was just wanted to have a small discussion with her in some silent place, but she took him all completely wrong, and even slapped him so hard.

Before he clarified someone from back grab his collar pulling him an inch away from Naina, "how dare you misbehave with Naina madam..." saying this Sagar throw another punch on his face making him stumble few steps back, "achchha hua jo mein file lene vaapas aa gaya varna yeh gunda toh aapko pareshaan karna chahta tha... mujhe toh pehle is isey dekh kar shaq ho raha tha,..." he said taking a relief sigh as he returned back immediately realizing he forget to take the contract file from Naina.

Naina holds Sagar's hand to stop him further beating the person said, "aise logon ke munh nahin lagte Sagar... let me call police... jab police ke dande padenge na toh akal thikane aa jaayegi..." saying this she looked at the crowd gathered around them, and everyone was ready to give good piece of mind to the person standing there dumbfound.

Person again tried to speak, "sorry but please just listen to me once... I just want to talk..." before he completes his sentence, another slap landed on his face from Naina, throwing daggers from her fiery eyes, "abhi bhi tumhari akkal thikane nahin aayi na... abhi dekho mein tumhara kya haal karti hoon... shakal se pade likhe achchhe ghar ke lagte ho lekin harkate... chhi..." she said making disgusting face assuming him some creepy stalker.

Sagar shouted holding him from back, "aap jaaiye Naina madam... isey toh mein police ke hawale karwa kar hi rahunga... aise log baaton ki nahin dande ki bhasha samajhte hai... aise logon ki wajah e ladkiyon ka akele sadak par nikalna bhi mushkil ho gaya hai..." few more people from crowd also starts abusing him to misbehave with a lady, seeing her alone.

Naina seeing crowd getting impatient said, "Sagar maine police ko phone kar diya hai... please tum handle kar lena... you know I am getting late lekin agar kuchh jarurat ho toh please call me..." she knew Sameer must be waiting for him and will get more worried if heard all this. She purposely called police inspector staying in her society, who knows her well and can handle the case properly.

Sagar assured her that he will handle the situation and will call her if needed any help but got more annoyed as the person still persists to talk to Naina, even if he was humiliated by the roadside crowd and police was on his way to arrest him. Nothing seems bother to him except his firm determination to talk with the lady.

Flashback end...

Sameer got shocked hearing that someone has misbehaved with Naina, and she faced all this even when he was just a phone call away from her. He instantly pulled her tightly in his safe embrace caressing her hair, "you don't need to worry... mein abhi Sagar se baat karta hoon... uss aadmi ko toh mein chhodunga nahin... uski himmat kaise huyi meri Naina ko buri nazar se dekhne ki... usko police nahin Sameer Maheshwari saza dega..." he said in a firm tone that what come may the circumstances, he cannot let anyone hurt her in his presence.

Naina knowing how much guilty he is feeling rub his back softly, "don't worry, usey ab tak police ne saja de di hogi... even I am also surprised ki aaj tak iss shahar mein mere saath aisa kabhi kuchh nahin hua... yun iss tarah se koi stalker mere pichhe hoga mujhe bilkul yakin nahin ho raha..."

Sameer after a pause said slowly, "it's my fault... I knew meri identity tumhein nuksaan pahuncha sakti hai... in business world, I have lot of people who are my rivals and doesn't like me... they always try to find out my weak point and by harming you they can easily target me... I should have been more careful..." he said as from last few days he was casually roaming around with Naina and Angel, even sometimes without security, which might have seen by someone who doesn't like him.

Naina weeping silently shook her head, "it's all my fault Sameer... aapne kaha tha guards le jaane ke liye lekin itane saal se akele sab manage karne ki aadat si ho gayi thi... mujhe laga ek meeting hi toh hai lekin I was so wrong... I promise mein aage se dhyaan rakhungi... meri wajah se hamesha aapko pareshani hoti hai..." she blamed herself for being adamant, not listening his advice.

Sameer cupping her face in his palms kissed on her forehead, "don't worry... aaj ke baad mein khud Angel aur tumhari security ka poora dhyaan rakhunga..." to lighten her mood he said, "why don't you get freshen up... mujhe tumhein kuchh batana hai... very urgent... in fact it's a surprise for you..." he said smilingly as he was way too excited to let Naina meet with Munna, his best childhood friend cum brother.

He was always in guilt of not telling Munna about Naina and never let him to meet her. Pandit was staying with him, but Munna was far away from them handling Pooja's pregnancy and been in lot of stress, didn't get them chance to reveal about his relationship with Naina and their marriage, as everything was so messed up at that time.

Later when Naina left him suddenly, he was so heartbroken that never feels like to show even her picture to anyone else. He kept all her memories secretly in his room, treasuring the beautiful moment they spent together... his only solace.

Before Naina asked her phone rings showing Swati's name. Sameer nodded his head asking her to attend the call, as he left Angel with Swati for some urgent work, to help his friend.

Naina smiled lightly, "aap bhi fresh ho jaaiye tab tak mein Swati se baat kar leti hoon..."

Sameer left inside their room leaving Naina talking to Swati. To not to make her worried about the incident happen she spoke to her asking about Nehu, "thank god Nehu theek hai ab... mein ghar par hi hoon bas tu usey jaldi ghar lekar aa jaa... vaise bhi aaj humne amusement park jaane ka plan banaya hai..."

Swati replied apologetically, "Sorry Naina, lekin ek emergency aa gayi hai... in fact maine yahi batane ke liye phone kiya tha ki mein Nehu ko apni ek nurse ke saath car mein vaapas ghar bhej rahi hoon... Sameer jaane se pehle car aur guards ko chhod gaye the toh its all safe lekin mein phir bhi hospital se ek nurse saath bhej rahi hoon jis par mujhe poora trust hai..." Nehu was always so close to Swati as she never wanted to take any risk for her safety.

Naina replied, "it's okay... car, driver, guard's sab hai Nehu ke saath, so nothing to worry... vaise bhi Sameer ne Nehu ke liye security ka poora dhyaan rakha hai... tu apna kaam khatam karke jaldi aa jaana... if possible tu bhi amusement park hi aa jaana... tere bina teri crime partner ka man nahin lagega..." she laughed knowing how mischievous three of them are when it comes to do fun. Swati is an integral part of her family, so Naina insisted her to join them for this outing. She disconnected the call waiting for Sameer to come back and tell her the surprise he must have planned.

Hearing some noises from Swati's room she got shocked, "ghar par toh sirf mein aur Sameer hai toh uss room mein kaun..." she paused feeling another headache, "lagta hai Sameer ne door khula chhod diya hoga aur koi chor aa gaya hai... hey bhagwan aaj ke din yeh kya ho raha hai... lekin bas ab aur nahin... mein bhi dekhti hoon kaise koi chor mere ghar mein ghusta hai... pehle voh stalker aur ab yeh chor... iski toh khair nahin aaj... aur phir Sameer bhi toh hai mere saath..." though she was sure that she can handle all alone but feels more secure when Sameer is around her.

Taking a deep sigh, she makes a knot of her dupatta around her waist, making a messy bun of her open hair, all ready to fight with the intruder. Looking around she picked up a vase placed in a corner, enough to smack on someone's head, if he or she dare to hurt her. She already had enough of drama with the stranger and now not ready to bear any more.
