Swati: Naina, hum chalte hai...Tumhe bhi Sameer ke saath bahar jaana hai ghumne. Agar hua toh dinner par milte hai nahi toh kal subah milte hai 😊😊

Naina: Ji bhabhi, bye!

Swanjali: Bye Naina!

Naina sat there pondering over whatever Swati and Anjali revealed about Sameer. She knew that Sameer was disturbed since the demise of his mother but she never saw him breaking down. He was the one who gave her the needed emotional support when she broke down. She couldn't imagine that Sameer would be undergoing the same situation as her, where even after having many people in his life, he still felt lonely. When she thought over the things properly, she realised that she knew very few things about him whereas he knew a lot many things about her. But why did this happen??
The answer to her question was "her no interest in their relationship". Till the time Sameer cleaned Naina's mind, she was all set to let Sameer free from the relationship very soon but now as she has started seeing things differently and tried to forget those rubbish things, she also decided to be loyal towards their relationship. She decided to have equal rights on Sameer and their marital relationship.

Naina was still lost in her thoughts when her reveries broke due to the ringing of her phone. It was a video call from Preeti.

Naina: Hey Preeti ❤️

Preeti: Hi Jiji 😘 Aap kaise ho!? Sahi se pahunch gaye na aap?? Kahan gaye ho?? Aapka hotel accha hai na?? Location toh thik hai na??

Naina: Arrey rey meri toofan mel, thoda sabr rakh. Ek saath itne saare sawal puchti hai ki pehle ke sawal insaan bhul jaaye 😂😂

Preeti: Accha sorry 😅😅 Ab se ek ek sawal puchungi. Hmm, toh aap aur jijaji kaise ho??

Naina: Hum dono badhiya hai!! Tum bata sab kaise hai? Aur Papa kahan hai? Ab tak woh aa jate hai office se....

Rakesh: Main yahin hun gudiya. Tujhe dekh raha hun 😊😊

Naina: Hello Papa ❤️ Aap kaise ho?? Aapne medicine li thi na aapni?

Rakesh: Haan beta! Maine sab time se kiya hai, khana time se khaya, medicine time se li, walk pe time se gaya tha aur ghar bhi time se aaya...Meri laddoo nishchint ho ja aur apni life ka yeh naya chapter acche se jee 😊😊

Naina: Ji Papa

Preeti: Aur jiji aap Rakesh Tauji ki phikar maat karo. Main hun na yahan 😊. Unka pura khyal rakhungi aur aapko shikayat ka mauka nahi dungi 😁😁

Naina: Very good 👍🏻👍🏻

Taiji: Yeh lo! Preeti tu Naina se video call par baat kar rahi hai aur hume bata bhi nahi rahi hai 😡😡. Hume nahi dekhna ka Naina aur Damadji ko??

Naina: Jai Shrikrishna Taiji 🙏

Taiji: Khush reh beta 😘😘 Aur beta sab kushal mangal na?? Damadji kahan hai?

Naina: Haan Taiji sab kushal mangal. Woh yeh bathroom mein hain. Hum kuch der mein bahar jaane wale hai toh fresh hone gaye hai...

Chachiji: Beta, damadji leke kahan gaye hai tujhe??

Naina: Hum Jaipur aaye hai Chachiji...

Preeti: Jaipur!? Kya yaar jiji! Jaipur bhi koi honeymoon jaane wali jagah hai 🙄🙄

Naina was flustered listening "honeymoon", she was more mortified as her whole family was sitting right in front of her, looking at her.

Naina: Aa...a...am...wo... woh ye...yeh mu... mujhe bul... bulaya rahe hai. Ma...main aap sab se baad mein baat karti hun

Naina abruptly declined the call and kept the phone aside.

Naina: Yeh Preeti bhi na...Kuch bhi bolti hai aur woh bhi sabke saamne. Hey bhagwan, iss ladki ka kya hoga 🙄🙄

Sameer: Nainaaaa! Nainaaa!

Naina: Ji Sameer Ji! Aa rahi hun....

Naina ran inside to their room and found Sameer searching something impatiently.

Naina: Sameer Ji aap yeh kya kar rahe hai??? Aapne iss kamre ka kya haal kar rakha hai 😲

Sameer: Naina woh mujhe meri ring nahi mil rahi....

Naina: Ring? Kounsi ring, Sameer Ji??

Sameer: Meri engagement ring! Yahin par tha.... Fresh hone se pehle toh meri ungli pe tha, abhi jab baal comb karne ke liye mirror ke paas gaya toh meri nazar giri meri ungli par...
Naina meri help karo na please...

Naina: Aap pehle shaant ho jayiye. Yahin kahin hoga...Main dhundhne mein madad karti hun.

Sameer and Naina searched the ring everywhere. The whole room was turned upside down, but they couldn't find the ring anywhere.

Naina: Sameer Ji, main bathroom mein check karke aati hun. Shayad wahan ho aur aap ka dhyan na gaya hoga...

Sameer: Thik hai! Ek baar wahan bhi dekh aao...

Naina went inside the washroom and started to search for the ring. She was about to leave the washroom when a twinkle flashed in her eyes and she turned to that side. She found the ring lying on the pile of towel kept next to the shower cabin. She picked up the ring and wiped it with the pallu of her saree.

Seeing the ring, she went back to the flashback of their engagement day! For every bride, the day of her engagement is very special. As starting from the day, she enters a new family and gets a few new relations added to her life. Starting from that day, she doesn't remain just a daughter or a sister but also becomes a wife, a sister-in-law and a daughter-in-law. But Naina wasn't the usual happy bride, as she didn't get bound by these relations. All she wanted as loneliness as she was under the daze what she is ominous. She could see the happiness on the faces of her family members and Sameer's along with his family but she couldn't bring that happiness on her face. Her inner turmoil didn't let her to! But she had to fake her happiness for him and the company.

Naina: Maine Sameer Ji ke saath galat kiya... Woh shuruwat se mere saath friendly the aur humesha mujhe cheer up karne ki koshish karte the par main na unse baat karti thi aur na hi unke saath friendly hone ki koshish ki....Par ab jab sab kuch behtar hogaya hai toh mujhe unhe aur nirash nahi karna chahiye...

Sameer: Nainaaa! Mila Kyaaaa!!??

Naina came out of her daze and shouted back: Ji! Mil gayi hai...Main saree aur baal thik karke aa rahi hun....

Naina came out of the washroom and stood in front of Sameer. With shivering hands, she held Sameer's hand and lifted it. Sameer was jumping in joy from inside but was perplexed too for why she held his hand. Gaining some courage, Naina looked Sameer in his eyes and slipped his ring in his left ring finger. When Sameer realised what she did, he chuckled and pulled her cheeks softly. Naina blushed feeling his touch and lowered her eyes.

Sameer(whispering in her ears) : Chale Mrs. Maheshwari? Ya yahin khade rehkar sharmana hai aapko??

Naina: Ji nahi...Aap chaliye...

When they reached the doorstep of the haveli, they saw a red and black ambassador car parked infront of them. Naina was spellbound seeing the car infront of her eyes.

Naina: Sameer Ji yeh....

Sameer: Maine Jaydev Ji se kehkar ek car arrange karwayi thi, hum itne saare logo hai aur Jaipur aake agar har jagah ko dhyaan se nahi dekha toh kya dekha. Isliye self driving ke liye car mangwaya tha. Aur tumhe vintage cheezein pasand hai isliye yeh wali car specifically mangawayi 😊😊

Naina: Sameer Ji! Aap....aap itne pyaare kaise hai. Aap itna pyaare hona bandh kar dijiye nahi toh....

Sameer came close to her and with husky tone: Nahi toh kya Naina!? Mujhse pyaar ho jayega?

Naina blushed and pushed him little away and said: Nahi! Aapko kisiki nazar lag jayegi aur aap chidchide ban jayenge....

Sameer laughed at Naina's cute reply and pulled her cheeks. Naina's cheeks turned redder and resembled with tomato.

Sameer: Naina tum aissi cute baatein kaise kar leti ho 😘😘

Naina: Apne muh se 😂😅

Sameer: Chalo, gaadi mein baaki cute baatein kar lena...

Naina: Ji!

Sameer opened the passenger seat door for Naina and picked up the pallu of her saree and kept on her lap before closing the door. Naina smiled at his sweet gesture and felt proud of her family's selection ❤️❤️❤️.

Naina: Sameer Ji, hum kahan ja rahe hai??

Sameer: Waise toh mera plan tumhe paas ke museum ghumane ka tha par ab 6 baje rahe hai aur wahan pahunchte pahunchte 7 toh baj jayenge aur museum bandh hogaya hoga tab tak. Isliye abhi hum Jal Mahel chalte hai. Shaam ko Jal Mahel bahut khubsurat dikhta hai. Hum wahi baithke thodi der baatein karenge phir dinner karke wapas aa jayenge.....Thik hai??

Naina: Bilkul thik hai! Aap jo bhi plan karoge mujhe manzoor hai 😊😊

Sameer: Hmm toh let's go!

Sameer started driving the car, and Naina looked outside the window observing the nightlife of Jaipur.

Seeing Naina's all attention outside, Sameer pouted and complained: Kya Naina! Tumhara handsome pati yahan baitha hai aur tum bahar dekh rahi ho! Mujhse baat bhi nahi kar rahi ho ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️

Naina chuckled seeing his cute face and she did something which neither Sameer had expected nor Naina had herself expected. She kissed Sameer's puffed cheeks ❤️😘

Sameer applied brakes and with wide eyes looked at Naina. Naina was looking here and there with pink cheeks and fidgeting her Saree pallu in nervousness as she was apprehensive about Sameer's reaction and now that he halted the car she became more nervous.

Sameer: Nai...Naina ye...yeh yeh k..kk...kya k..kiya tumne a..abhi??

Naina: Wo...woh woh woh Sa...Sameer J....ji woh..woh main.....main woh....aap itne cu...cute lag.....lag rahe the to...toh....main....maine aap... aapke gaal pa...par k....kk....kiss....kiss kar diya

Sameer was dumbfounded and wasn't able to get words also to speak. Firstly, Naina's unexpected kiss and now how innocent she looked while speaking. The way she is blushing and fidgeting her pallu created an urgent desire inside Sameer to kiss her and crush her in his arms but then she hasn't been that comfortable with him so he controlled his desires and looked away from Naina to calm the fluttering of his heart.

But Naina took it in another way and thought that Sameer didn't like this sudden kiss and has got upset with her which is why he isn't talking and now turned his face away from her. Naina today vowed to keep Sameer happy and make their relationship work, and in just a few hours she couldn't let herself lose so she decided to apologize and mend Sameer's mood.

Naina: Sameer Ji! I'm sorry Sameer Ji!

Sameer: Sorry? Kis liye?

Naina: Maine aapko suddenly kiss kiya...isliye. Aapko bura laga na...

Sameer: Aur tumhe aissa kyun lagta hai ki mujhe bura laga tumhara kiss karna?

Naina: Aap meri taraf dekh bhi nahi rahe aur na hi baat kar rahe hai. Toh mujhe laga aap naraz hai...

Sameer: Naina! Main tumse naraaz bilkul bhi nahi hun. Aur hone ka sawaal hi nahi uthta. Main tumhara Pati cum dost hun, toh tum mujhe hug ya kiss kuch bhi kar sakti ho. Yeh haq hai tumhara. Rahi baat mera tumhari taraf na dekhni ki, tum sharma rahi thi aur idher udhar dekh rahi thi toh tumhe thoda waqt dene ke liye maine tumhe akela choda...Ainda kabhi aissa maat sochna ki main bina wajah tumse naraaz hunga. Hmm!?

Naina nodded and smiled. Seeing her usual self back, Sameer restarted the car and drove to Jal Mahel.

Meanwhile in Mumbai, Maheshwari Mansion was witnessing a hustle and bustle. Kamlesh, Prabha and Vishakha were running from here to there, gathering things and dumping them inside cartons.

Kamlesh: Prabha, jaake Poonam ko leke aao! Hume jo bhi karna hai aaj hi karna hoga. Kal woh buddha Maheswari aur Vivek aa jayega aur humari saari planning fail ho jayegi!

Prabha: Haam haan! La rahi hun usse! Thoda sabr rakho! Jitni jaldi tumhe hai utni jaldi mujhe bhi hai....

Vishakha carried an unconscious Poonam and dumped her on the sofa set.

Vishakha: Tum dono khali jhagda karo! Kuch kaam ke nahi ho! Tabhi toh 18 saalon se humara kaam adhura chal raha hai...Ab jaldi karo! Kamlesh bhaiya aapne woh bori layi hai na??

Kamlesh: Haan Vish! Storeroom mein hai..Main leke aata hun....

Kamlesh got a huge sack from the storeroom and the trio collectively wrapped poor Poonam with that sack and were carrying her out when Ramdhari stopped them.

Ramdhari: Arrey Vishakha bahu! Aap aur aapke bhaiya bhabhi iss bori mein kya leke ja rahe hai woh bhi itna bhari??

Prabha (muttering to herself): Hey bhagwan! Iss chalak naukar ko bhi abhi aana tha!

Kamlesh: Raddi ka kuch samaan hai Ramdhari!

Ramdhari: Hey ram! Toh mujhe dijiye main phek aata hun. Accha hua jo iss waqt yahan aagaya! Mere hote huye aap kyun yeh sab karenge. Layiye dijiye, main phek aata hun isse....

Vishakha: Nahi Ramdhari! Yeh humara kuch personal samaan hai aur waise bhi tumhare working hours khatam hogaye hai toh tumhe abhi kuch karne ki jaroorat nahi hai...

Ramdhari: Personal ho ya Public, raddi ka samaan raddi ka samaan hota hai! Aur Vishakha Bahu aap chinta maat karo main andar nahi dekhunga 😊
Layiye dijiye!

Prabha whispered in Vishakha's ears: Yeh chalak lomdi tumse yeh basta leke rahega....Kuch karo Vish! Agar isne andar Poonam ko dekh liya toh humara khel khatam!

Vishakha: Mujhe maloom hai! Ab mere kaan ke paas bhaunkna bandh karogi!
(To Ramdhari) Thik hai le jaana! Par tum wapas aaye kyun the? Tum toh ghar ke liye nikal gaye the na...

Ramdhari: Haan woh bade malik ne hume ek file di thi photocopy karwane ke liye, wohi unke study mein bhul gaya tha toh lene aaya tha...

Vishakha: Tum usse le aao, phir ek saath nikal jaana aur isse phek aana.

Ramdhari: Thik hai Bahu! Aap sab thoda intezaar kijiye main abhi aaya.

As Ramdhari left for Jaiprakash Ji's study, the evil trio left the house and drove to the outskirts of the city.

Kamlesh: Shukar hai woh Ramu kaka hume pakad nahi paya. Nahi toh woh buddhau ka chamcha phone kar deta apne bade malik ko aur bata deta sab kuch 😡😡😡

Vishakha: Phone toh ab bhi karega! Par mere pujniya sasur ji ko aane mein waqt lagega aur tab tak hum iss balla ko daal chuke honge 😃😃

Prabha: Kya sahi kismat hai humari! Wahan Sameer aur uski middle class wife Naina apne trip par gaye, Jaiprakash Maheshwari aur Vivek Maheswari business ke silsile mein Bhopal! Poonam ke saare saviors usse dur hai!

Vishakha: Sahi kaha! Humare galle ke iss kante ko toh haata diya! Ab baari hai baaki kanton ko haatne ki 😏😏😏

Prabha: Vish! Yeh jo Naina hai na, woh nayi kanta hai aur isse aaram se manipulate bhi kar sakte hai. Nayi bahu hai aur dekha nahi kal kaise ghabra gayi jab maine uska woh third class Poha khane se maana kiya....Isse haatana muskil nahi hoga....

Kamlesh: Haan! Iss bar Prabha sahi keh rahi hai...Woh sanskar ki murat ko nikalna koi badi baat nahi hogi...

Vishakha: Nahi! Usko nikalna bahut muskil hai. Kyunki uske saath Jaiprakash, Vivek aur Sameer hai! Upar se agar uske saath kuch kiya toh uski family wale case kar lenge! 2 lawyers hai uske ghar mein! Danger hai woh humare liye. Isliye usse sabse last mein haatenge!

Prabha: Jaisa tumhe thik lage....

They soon reached a secluded place where only there car was there and no one else was present! They waited for sometime and saw a black SUV approaching them. A man wearing white suit came out and handed them a bunch of money, in return Evil trio was about to hand him the sack having Poonam when a hand stopped this from happening!

And the hand belonged to none other than Jaiprakash Maheshwari.

The evil trio were aghast seeing him there and sweat formed on their foreheads seeing Jaiprakash there.

Man: Eh! Eh buddhe! Haath haata baste se! Yeh meri maal hai aur iske liye pure 15 lakh diye hai iss Patel parivaar ko!

Jaiprakash: Toh apne paise leke wapas wahan chale jao jahan se aaye ho! Yeh ladki bikau nahi hai! Chal bhag yahan se nahi toh police ko phone karna aata hai mujhe!

The man ran away in the fear of police. After the man left, Jaiprakash didn't say a word and carried Poonam to his car, and drove back home. Reaching Maheshwari Mansion, he sprinkled some water on her face in order to regain her consciousness but it failed. So he called his doctor friend to come home and examine her.

Doctor: JP! Tumhari beti ko Anesthesia diya gaya hai....Tumne jab call kiya tab hi maine anesthesia aur chloroform ka antidote apne clinic se nikal diya tha. Don't worry! Maine usse inject kar diya hai woh thodi der mein consciousness gain kar legi 😊

Jaiprakash: Thank you so much Naresh! Tune mujh par bahut bada ehsaan kiya hai 🙏🙏

Doctor Naresh: Chal chal! Maine tujhpe koi ehsaan nahi kiya hai. Yeh mera farz hai ek doctor aur ek dost dono ke nate. Ab main chalta hun, clinic mein kuch patients baaki the...

Jaiprakash nodded and left him till the door. When he was about to close the main door, he saw the evil trio coming. They were hell scared and nervous about what would happen now.
Jaiprakash let them come inside the house and went to Poonam's room for locking it.

And now was the time for confrontation!

Jaiprakash: Yeh kya tha!?

Silence........

Jaiprakash: Kya tha woh sab?

Again silence....

Jaiprakash roared: Kya tha yeh sab!!

The evil trio shivered at their places and couldn't meet their gaze with Jaiprakash.

Jaiprakash: Kuch puch raha hun!

Vishakha: Papa woh....

Jaiprakash: Maat bulao mujhe Papa! Aaj ki tumhari harkat ke baad tumhare muh se Papa mujhe koi gaali se kam nahi lagegi!
Tum log Poonam se itna nafrat karte ho ki usse ek prostitute supplier ko bayech rahe the! Itni bhi kya nafrat!?

Kamlesh: Iss ladki ke wajah se humara beta humse dur hua hai Kak...mera matlab hai Uncle! 10 saal se humne usse dekha tak nahi hai, pata nahi woh zinda hai ya....😢

Jaiprakash: Tumhara beta apne harkat aur tumhare diye huye parvarish ke wajah se tumse dur hua hai! Tumne usse ek auraat ki izzat karna nahi sikhaya jis wajah se usne ek ladki ko pregnant kiya aur uske usse shaadi karke bhag gaya. Na apne bacche aur na apni biwi aur na apne Maa Baap ke baare mein socha! Poonam ki galti bas itni hai ki woh tumse janme kayar se pyaar kiya aur ussi pyaar ke badaulat tum logo ki sewa kar rahi hai 10 saal se!!

Vishakha: Aur iss ghar ki beti ka tag bhi mil gaya usse! Aap yeh bhul rahe hai ki humari wajah se woh iss alishan ghar mein reh rahi hai!

Jaiprakash: Bhula main nahi bhuli tum ho Vishakha! Tum yeh bhul rahi ho ki tum teeno 18 saal se muft mein iss ghar mein reh rahe ho aur Maheshwari naam se jude ho!!
Tum teeno ko pata hai ki tumhari itni saari ochhi harkaton ke bawajud tum yahan kyun reh rahe ho? Kyunki Sameer chahta hai! Yeh wohi Sameer hai jisse 11 saal ki umar mein ek anjaan padosi ke ghar tum 2 din ke liye chodke chali gayi! Yeh wohi Sameer hai jisse tumne kabhi bhi ek Maa ka pyaar nahi diya! Pata hai kyun? Kyunki uski swargiya Maa ne mujhse aur uske Papa se waada liya tha aur tum teeno kapde ke liye, khaane ke liye, rehne ke liye, paison ke liye, sab kuch ke liye hum par depend karte ho! Yeh jo rutba hai tum teeno ka woh humari wajah se hai. Agar tumhe ghar se nikal de toh tum teeno besahara ho jaoge isliye!! Sameer aaj bhi tum mein apni purani Vishakha Aunty dekhta hai jo isse bachpan mein dher saara pyaar karti thi....

Maine aaj tak Sameer ko Poonam ke saath ho rahe zulm ke baare mein nahi bataya kyunki Poonam apne bete ko aur dard mein nahi dekh sakti. Roz Poonam tum teeno ke zulm seh kar zinda hai kyunki usse Sameer mein apna khoya hua baccha dikhta hai....Agar main Sameer ko tum logo ki kartut bata dun toh usse jyada waqt nahi lagega tum logo ko beghar karne mein!

Yeh meri akhri chaitavni hai! Poonam ya Naina ko koi bhi tarah ka nukshan pahuncha toh Jaiprakash Maheshwari se bura koi nahi hoga!

Jaiprakash left the hall with rage and entered Poonam's room. He lovingly caressed her head and kept sitting next to her till she gains consciousness. He was thinking about all sacrifices and pain she had to go through in these past ten years. So many times she would have been tortured, so many times she would have stayed hungry or spent sleepless nights, so many times she would have thought about giving up but didn't because of Sameer and other Maheshwaris. A lone tear escaped from the corner of his eyes, which he wiped instantly.

Jaiprakash: Tera Dada tujhse waada karta hai beti, ab tujhpe koi anch aane nahi dunga 😘❤️
Tere dukh ke din gaye aur ab bas khushiyan hai. Naina aur Sameer ke jeevan mein bhi koi gham aane nahi dunga. Unn do bacchon ne bhi kaafi dukh saha hai....Aaj se yeh Jaiprakash Maheshwari apne bacchon ka kawach hai!!

Hey guys! Here's the next update.

Hope you enjoy it. See you in the next update.

Till then, take care and stay safe ❤️

With love ❤️
