On the way back to their destination, Raj was driving, Puneet was on the passenger seat, stealing glances of Naina who was seating at the back seat, avoing both the men n enjoying the beauty of the nature and was lost somewhere in her own world.

Stopping the car at the roadside, Rajveer stepped out of the jeep, informing the other two that he urgently needs to buy some medicines and he rushed towards the medical store.

Meanwhile, Naina and Puneet were left alone with each others company. He was continuously chatting and Naina was irritatingly listening to his chatters and boastings but didnt replied with a single word.

"Bhayya ek phool le lo naa", a child of around 10 was selling flowers, requested Puneet.

"Nahi chahiye", he replied jerking him away to which Naina gave him a death glare but he avoided it n continued talking to her.

"Didi aap hi lelo ek phool... Bhayya ap didi k liye le lo ek phool... please didi... please please... lelo na please...", the child requested them, pleading through his voice and his innocent eyes.

Puneet's eyes were twinkling and all he could hear was,

"didi k liye le lo ek phool"

Being an opportunist, he wanted to grab this chance, So he handed the child a 100 rupee note and bought some fresh red roses and forwarding his hand Puneet tried to give her the roses but she refused. Even after so many requests she didnt accept them. Feeling frustrated, he called the child back , who was not more than a few metres away from them. He called him back becoz he had some plan in his pea sized brain.

"Ye le tere phool.. aur mere paise wapas kar..", he said with frustration and anger totally visible in his voice.

"Kyun bhayya.. phool ache nhi h? Ruko main dusre de deta hoon..", child replied while his hands were busy in finding the best flowers he had.

"Nahin chahiye... tu ye pakad..aur mere paise wapas kar", he almost shouted at him.

"Ye aap kya kar rahe h major?", Naina spoke up finally.

"Tumhare liye khride the ye phool.. ab tum nhi logi toh m kyu apne paise zaya karu?", he said n smirked mentally as he knew Naina would definitely agree to accept those flowers after all this drama but she remained silent.

That silence was broken by the kid who walked towards the back of the jeep to talk face to face with Naina.

Forwarding the flowers, "please didi... please lelo naa... please didi mere liye lelo...apna bhai samjh kr lelo.."

This time she was not able to break his small little heart and accepted them, and smilingly gave him an extra 100 rupee note to which the child smiled and nodded in a 'No' and left them without taking it.

Soon Rajveer was back and he was dumbfounded to see a blushing and smiling Naina, smelling and caressing those flowers. Rajveer turned to Puneet who in turn gave him a wink and gave a victory smile!

Rajveer was burning inside and his face was red. He was mad and wanted to punch Puneet right away but he was helpless. He started the jeep and headed towards his house. Soon they reached and Raj n Naina  got down the jeep and started walking towards their door, when he heard somebody shouting Naina's name. He could easily recognize the irritating voice. They both turned around to see puneet.

"Naina... ye tum bhul gyi thi!", puneet said giving her the flowers, which she had left in his jeep.

"Thanks", she said smilingly while taking the flowers as she remembered the kid saying "apna bhai samjh kr lelo".

Puneet left them both after bidding good night. Rajveer clenched his fist and left her behind who looked at him in confusion.

"Oh my my.... lgta hai... kisi ne apni romantic date bohot enjoy ki h... look at yourself ... you look so happy  bhabhi! I am so happy for  you" , Sherry  said with utmost happiness visible in her voice. Rajveer halted for a minute, glared Naina and then went to his room. After smiling back at Sherry, Naina too walked towards their room.

Settling down on his bed, he waited for her to come out of the washroom and soon she was out in her night pjs. She was feeling odd to see him on her bed which was actually theirs. But somehow gathering courage, she moved towards the bed as she was very tired. She slipped inside the sheets covering herself, she turned opposite to him. Rajveer who was sitting on the bed,  his upper body resting on the headboard, looked at Naina disbelievingly.

*Aise behave kar rahi ho tum Naina jaise kuch hua hi na ho.. muje samjh nhi aa raha tumhe kaise samjhaun..*, he thought looking at her.

Taking a deep breath, he spoke,
"Naina ye tum kya kar rahi ho? Tum samjhti kyun nahin?"

"Mai kya nhi samjhti?",she asked after turning around to face him.

"Tumne uske phool kyu accept kiye?", he asked him with all control over his voice, and his hands tightly  clutching the sheets.

"Toh uske liye b apki permission leti?", she replied frustratingly.

He turned a little to face her properly and spoke calmly, "Naina Puneet acha insaan nhi h! Please samjho!"

"Aur aap bohot ache hain. Right?", she replied hurting him right there in his soft n caring heart. She removed the sheets and sat up.

"Naina m tumhe kaise samjhaun. Tum chahti ho m tumse dur rahoon.. fine! m bhot dur rahunga.. pr please.. tum Puneet se pyar.... nhi.. kar sakti...", he replied her in a shaky voice and his pain made him unable to complete what he wanted to speak.

"Whatttt??? aapne kya kaha?", she couldnot believe what she heard.

"Dekho...he s not a good  guy.  Trust me... Tum please usse dur raho.. tum jaisa kahogi m karunga.. pr please.. stay away from him", he pleaded her.

Naina was stunned to hear all this and was not able to say anything.

"Naina.. are you listening", he tried to bring her back from her thoughts.

"Aap aisa kyu kar rahe hain.. aj dinner par b jo aapne kia.. m chup rahi iska mtlb ye nhi ki ap kuch b krenge ya kahenge", she got down from the bed and questioned him.

"Toh m kya karu? Us Puneet jaise ghatiya insan k sath tumhe fas jane doon? Apni aankho se tumhe uske sath.......", he too left the bed and walked towards her to cross question her.

"What do you mean?", shecasked confusingly.

Releasing a breath, he said,
"I know you guys are in love... i know you guys are dating...." unable to speak further, he trailed off.

Grabbing his collars tightly, she asked him at the top of her voice,
"What the hell are you talking about???"

With his head bent down, looking downwards, he said almost in a whisper but clearly audible to Naina,  "Mai janta hu Naina! Mujhse kuch bhi chupane ki zarurat nhi h.. dekha h maine kaise tum ek sath office me.... upr se uske late night calls... adhi rat ko bouquet lekar vo tumse milne aata h... i know it all..." his voice choked.

Realising what he said, her hold on his collar loosened and her hands trailing down his chest and her heart thumping wildly. Her forehead sweating profusely. All she could manage to say was, "Kya bakwas hai ye sab?? Are you out of your mind..." her voice was very low, confirming him of whatever he said, was true. He looked at her. His last hope of it being a misunderstanding, was shattered.

All this led to a pin drop silence.

Thinking a lot and taking a deep breath, she calmly replied, "See aisa kuch nahin hai.. toh ap please apne aap ko mujh pr mat thopiye.. m samjhdar  hu... i know what to do and what not. So stay in ur... limit!"

After composing himself, he again tried to make her understand.
"Dekho Naina mai bhi chahta hu tum aage badho...kisi se pyar karo.. shadi karo.. achi zindagi bitao.. pr ek aise insan se jo acha ho...  puneet acha nhi h Naina... please samjho... agar iski jagah koi or hota toh m tumhe kbhi  nhi rokta.. balki m khud tumhare sath khada hota.. m karwata tumhari..... shaaahhddi... pr... pr ye insan thik nhi hai naina..."

His heart didnt support his words. It took a lot of courage to say that, but he did it.. for her... for his Naina.

Although Naina was stunned to hear him. 'Mai karwata tumhari shadi'. She could not believe, he said this. Anger was already building inside her body and now it was next to impossible for her to control. Her eyes welled up, she pushed him angrily with her both hands and Raj moved backwards with a jolt. In a shaky voice,
"Apka dima khrab ho gya h Major! Aap karwayenge meri shadi? "

She shoved him continuosly while arguing with him, until his back rested against the wall. Their teary eyes and trembling frames were unable to deal with the current situation. Clutching his shirt, she questioned him,
"Aap?..... Aap hote kon hain ye sab kehne wale... ap hote kon hai mujhe ye btane wale ki m kiske sath pyar kru.... aur kiske sath.....   ...... Shadi... ye meri zindagi hai....  bhot bkwas sun li aapki... kya mai is zindagi me ek rat chain se nahin guzar sakti? apki aadat bn gyi h.. jab dekho kuch na kuch bahana lekar mera sukun mujhse chhin lete hain.. aaj toh aapne hadd hi krdi... meri shadiii....."

They both looked at each other.. intently, questioningly and hopelessly!

"Listen to me very carefully.. mai jis marzi se pyar karu jis marzi se shadi kru... jo bhi mai karu.... ap usme interfere nhi karenge... do u get that? Fir chahe vo jo koi  bhi ho... ap bs apne apko mujhse dur rakhenge.. thats it..", saying this she turned around to wipe her tears away.

"Pr Naina puneet acha insaan nhi h... please listen to me..", he said calmly to which Naina didnt reacted.

"aur agar usne tumhare kareeb aane ki koshish b ki toh m usey chodunga nhi... aur ye srf dhamki nhi h.. m kisi ko bhi tumhari zindagi se khelne nhi dunga... sun rahi ho tum ? Wo pas aakar toh dikhaye tumhare, m hath tod dunga uske!" , he said in a warning tone.

"Aapse kisi ne pucha???? Mai pyar krti hu usse....ok? Bohot pyaar krti hu usse.. agar aap meri zindagi me naa aye hote usey brbad krne k liye... toh shayad hm dono aaj ek hote.. ha.. sach yahi h! Now stay away! Do not put ur nose in my personal matter! U r nobody to me.. Major  Shekhawat!  Nobody!", with this final statement she blew him off the ground without even touching him.

Reaching the bed, she spoke again,
"Aur yad rakhiega... vo ek bhot acha insaan h... aapse toh kahi guna zada acha hai vo... km se km ... dikhawa nhi krta... acha h ya bura h....pr jaisa bhi hai saamne h! Apki trh naqab k piche nhi chupa hua"

Grabbing the sheets, she slept... while Rajveer was feeling numb.. and totally devoid of any rational senses. Roaming around, thinking about Puneet n Naina.. with clenched jaws n fisted  hands, he looked at Naina. Night was again smirking n  playing with them.

'Thik hai Naina.. Agar tum pyar krti ho usse.. toh mai nhi aaunga tumhare bich.. Maine jo waada Naveen se kia tha, usey adhura nhi chodunga.. mujhse galti hui hai..pr main apni galti sudharunga.. parso Alekh b aa raha hai.. mai usse bat karunga.. Mujje sab thik krna hoga jald se jald.. Naveen ki akhri khwaish puri krni hogi muje.. fr chahe mujhe uske liye apne pyar  ko hi kyu na marna pdey!', He  thought and promised himself.
