Naina: Sameer ji! Aapne Dadaji se pucha kya, ki unhone itna bada amount kisko transfer kiya?

Sameer: Kahan! Celebration ke baad hum chale gaye the na Pranati Pralay ke saath. Aur ab raat bhi bahut ho chuke hai. Kal subah hi puchna padega unse.

Naina: Sameer Ji, kahin ghar par koi kisi problem mein toh nahi hai?! I mean Poonam bhabhi ya Mum....mera matlab hai Vishakha Aunty aur unke bhai bhabhi. Ya Bua dadi ji.

Sameer: Nahi, mujhe nahi lagta aissa kuch hua hai. Agar hota toh Ramdhari kaka phone zaroor karte. Mamla kuch aur hi hai....Tum chinta maat karo. I'll find out.

Naina: Chinta kaise na karun? Itni badi amount transfer huyi hai.

Sameer: Mera matlab yeh tha ki abhi ke liye isse bhul jao. So jao. Raat bahut ho chuke hai, aur tumhari shakal se pata chal raha hai ki tumhe tez neend aa rahi hai.

Naina: Ji...

Sameer was already sitting on his side of the bed, when Naina came out of the washroom after freshening up and asked her about the money matter. She climbed into bed after untying her hair and applying her night moisturizer.

Sameer: Naina!

Naina: Ji!

Sameer: I love you

Naina smiled and said: I like you too.

Sameer flashed a huge smile and kept his palm on top of her head, and caressed her head.

Sameer: Aisse hi humesha muskurati raho. Jab tum udaas hoti ho na, tab bilkul acchi nahi lagti. Tumhara utra hua chehra dekhke mera dil toot jaata hai.

Naina: Aap hai na mere saath, toh bas. Main humesha khush rahungi aur muskurati rahungi.

Sameer nodded his head, and helped her tuck in the bed. He kissed her forehead and wished her Goodnight before switching off the lights. Only moonlight was coming inside through the thin material of the curtains.

Even though they had spent happy moments together since they left Pranati and Pralay alone to talk, but the thought of what could be going on between them didn't leave Samaina's mind. Both of them didn't want the other one to know about what was going on in their mind.

After few minutes, Sameer sat up and checked whether Naina was asleep or not. He found that she had closed her eyes and he assumed that she has fallen asleep, but in reality it was the opposite. He silently slipped out of the bed and went out.

Naina: Sameer ji itni raat ko kahan ja rahe hai? Chalke dekhti hun.

Grabbing a shawl for herself and a jacket for him, she went out and found him sitting on the lawn bench, gazing at the stars.

She kept her palm on his shoulder which broke his reveries.

Sameer: Naina! Tu...tum....tum so rahi thi na....

Naina sat next to him and made him wear the jacket, as the temperature had dropped and it was chilly outside. And she didn't want her husband to get sick.

Naina: Mujhe neend nahi aa rahi thi. Aur jab aap uthe toh maine jhat se aankhein band kar di thi. Taaki aapko lage ki main so chuki hun.

Sameer: Smart!

Naina: Woh main hun. Lekin aap itni raat ko yahan kyun aa gaye? Aur aapko neend kyun nahi aa rahi?

Sameer: Kuch khas nahi Naina....bas kuch baatein dimaag se nikal nahi rahi hai.

Naina: Woh transaction wali baat?

Sameer: Haan woh bhi. Aur Pranati aur Pralay ke beech kya chal raha hoga, woh bhi.

Naina: Hmmm, soch main bhi rahi thi uss baare mein.

Sameer: Janti ho Naina....Pranati ke saath Ruhaan ne jo kiya tha, uske baad se main bahut overprotective hogaya tha usse leke. Har waqt ek saaye ki tarah uske saath rehta tha. Phir jab hum dono ka college khatam hua aur woh boutique khol di aur mujhe MBA ke liye Pune jaana pada, tab realise hua ki main humesha uske saath nahi reh sakta aur usko apne liye ladna sikhna padega. Maine apna protective shield uss par se thoda loose kiya yeh sochke ki woh akele ladna sikhegi. Jo hua bhi.....
Uske baad Poonam bhabhi ghar aayi. Meri zindagi mein ek aur female member. Pehle din se mera aur unka accha bond hogaya tha. Shuru shuru mein mujhe unke aur Devang bhaiya ke beech bahut pyaar dikha tha, par ek din achanak woh kahin chale gaye.
Mere liye itihaas ne phir apne aap ko duharaya tha. Mere ussi ghar mein hote huye, Poonam bhabhi ke saath aissa hua. Par Poonam bhabhi tooti nahi thi kyunki unke paas Devang bhaiya ka hissa tha, unke jhoothi hi sahi par pyaar ki nishani thi. Lekin kuch hafton baad woh wajah bhi choot gayi. Unka miscarriage hogaya. Uske baad se Prabha Aunty aur Kamlesh Uncle ne unn par bahut zulam dhae. Main kuch nahi keh saka kyunki Poonam bhabhi ne mujhe kasam di hai. Lekin phir, kabhi kabhi indirectly warn kar deta hun.
Aaj Ruhaan ko wapas dekh, mujhe saalon purani baatein aur woh darr phir mehsus ho raha hai. Main nahi chahta ki Preeti ke saath kuch ulta sidha ho.

Naina: Nahi hoga Sameer ji! Mujhe aap par pura vishwas hai, par Kamlesh Uncle ji aur Prabha Aunty ji, Poonam bhabhi ke saath aissa kyun karte hai?

Sameer: Poonam bhabhi ek middle class ghar se hai, aur Prabha aunty ko Devang bhaiya ke liye kissi business family se bahu laani thi. Jo hua nahi kyunki apparently Devang bhaiya fell in love with Poonam bhabhi.
Ab jab Devang bhaiya apni zimmedariyon se bhag gaye, toh Poonam bhabhi par saara ilzaam lagake, uske aad mein woh teeno Poonam bhabhi ke saath misbehave karte hai.

Naina: Sameer ji..... Middle class family se main bhi hun....mere saath......

Sameer: Nahi! Main tumhare saath aissa kuch hone nahi dunga. Aur upar se woh log tumhare saath badsulaki nahi karenge.

Naina: Kyun?

Sameer gave a faint smile and held her face in his palm before replying to her.

Sameer: Kyunki tum meri biwi ho. Maheshwari Industries ke CEO, Sameer Maheshwari ki biwi, aur Maheshwari Industries ke Chairmen, Jaiprakash Maheshwari aur Vivek Maheswari ki bahu ho.
Tum par awaaz uthane se pehle sau baar sochna hoga unhe. Humari shaadi se pehle hi Dadu ne unhe dhamki de di thi, ki agar unhone tumhare saath kuch kiya toh woh unn teeno ko wapas wahin chodenge jahan se woh aaye the.

Naina: Matlab?

Sameer: Maine suna tha ki Vishakha Aunty ke Papa bhi Dadu ki tarah businessman the. Kuch hua aur unka business bandh hogaya. Unhone itne loan liye the ki bharne ke liye unhe apne mehenge kapde, jewellery, ghadi, gaadi, aur baaki saari cheezein bechni padi. Sirf ghar bacha tha. Lekin usko maintain karne ke liye bhi paise chahiye the. Toh unhone usse bhi bech di aur chawl mein rehne lage the. Aunty ke Papa inn sabko seh nahi paaye aur heart attack se marr gaye. College mein Papa jab Mumma se mile tab hu unki dosti Vishakha Aunty se huyi. Unki halat ka sunke woh kuch help karna shuru kiye. Aur aage ka tum janti ho.....

Naina: Hmmm......

Sameer: Tum inn sab ke baare mein maat socho. Tum bas apni, meri, Dadu ki, Papa ki, humari Agrawal family ki aur apni padhai ke baare mein socho. Waise.....Naina......

Naina: Ji....

Sameer: Main tumhare family ka hissa hun na?

Naina smiled at him and kept her head on his shoulder and said: Aap hi mera parivaar hai ab Sameer Ji.

Sameer inhaled sharply and his heart filled with extra love and affection for his darling wife. He wrapped his arms around her and rested his head on top of her.

Naina: Aap kuch kahenge nahi?!

Sameer: Meri baahon mein meri puri duniya hai.

Naina's eyes pooled up hearing this and she looked at him.

Sameer: Mumma kaha karti thi ki iss duniya mein sirf Maa Baap aur life partner hi aapka apna hota hai. Baaki saare rishte aapke saath partiality kar sakte hai, par yeh teen rishte kabhi nahi. Mere Mumma Papa toh meri duniya the hi, lekin do saal se tum bhi meri duniya bangayi ho Naina.

Naina's heart was going to burst. She encircled her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly, damping his shoulder.

Sameer: Naina....main yeh sab tumhe rulane ke liye nahi kehta..... Har baar mein tumhe tumhari ahmiyat meri zindagi kya hai uske baare batane lagta hun, aur tum ro deti ho.....

Naina: Yeh khushi ke aanshu hai Sameer ji. Papa aur Mummy ke alwa kisine mujhe yeh sab nahi kaha hai. Haan ghar par baaki sab mujhse bahut pyaar karte hai, mera khayal bhi rakhte hai. Lekin aap jaisa pyaar aur parwah, sirf Papa karte hai.

Sameer: Arrey meri pyaari biwi ji, pati hun main tumhara. Meri saari parwaah, dua, pyaar aur mera sabkuch tumhara hi toh hai. Bilkul jaise Papaji ka sab kuch tum ho.

Sameer was weaving his fingers through her hair, to calm her down. All the time she shred tears, his heart ached and all he wants to do is just wrap her in his arms and hide her from everyone. For him, Naina was still the naive college girl who was oblivious about the evilness of the world. And he wanted to protect her innocence from the evil world.

Sameer's warm embrace has become the new place of solace for Naina. She doesn't feel awkward anymore about hugging him anytime, infact she feels the safest in his arms.

The soothing silence, cool breeze and the warmth of her loving husband's embrace, made Naina sleep peacefully. Sensing the increasing weight, Sameer chuckled and kissed her head. He lifted her in his arms, and walked inside.

This aww-dorable moment was witnessed by Ruhaan who was standing near the window of his room which opened to the garden.

Ruhaan: Sameer Maheshwari! Yeh tehra saal tune aur Pranati ne shanti se bitali. Lekin ab aur nahi! Ruhaan Roy Choudhry is back! Aur main chun chunke badla lunga.

Sameer gently placed Naina on the bed, and covered her with the blanket. He pushed the tendrils of hair falling on her face back, and looked at her serene sleeping face contently. He kissed her forehead, eyes and cheeks before slipping next to her. Sleep had just overpowered him, when he felt her shivering and before he could do anything, she snuggled up to him, to seek warmth and wounded her arm around him and kept her head on his shoulder. Instinctively, Sameer's arms went around her and he pulled her closer and kept his head next to her's, and slipped into deep slumber.

Next morning, Maheswari couple's slumber broke due to the constant loud knock on the door.

Naina: Sameer ji, itni subah koun hoga?

Sameer: Dekhte hai. Tum shawl odh lo, thand kam nahi huyi hai.

Sameer went and opened the door to find Ruhaan standing infront of him with a smirk on his face.

Sameer: Tu!

Before he could say anything, Purvi appeared from his back.

Purvi: Sameer ji! Naina ji! Really sorry to disturb, par Pranati ji aur Pralay ji apne kamre mein nahi hai. Aur unke phones bhi nahi lag rahe hai. Aapko bata hai kya ki woh log kahan hai??

Naina: Aap unhe itni subah kyun dhundh rahi hai?

Purvi: Actually maine unse kuch saaman borrow kiye the. Toh lautana tha. Humari flight hai kuch der mein isliye....

Naina: Aap mujhe de dijiye, main Bhabhi ko de dungi.

Ruhaan: Par dono hai kahan? Mujhe apni estranged best friend se milke jaana hai.

Sameer: Koi jaroorat nahi hai!

Seeing Purvi's confused expression, he made up something.

Sameer: Mera matlab tha woh dono kahin gaye honge, thoda private time spend karne. Tabhi toh phone saath nahi leke gaye. Khamakha kyun aap dono unka wait karenge. Aap dono ko packing karna hoga na.

Purvi: Ji baat sahi hai aapki! Ruhaan, waise bhi sab Mumbai hi aayenge na. Aur ab hum rishtedar bangaye hai, toh aana jaana laga rahega na.

Naina: Rishtedar?

Purvi: Aapko aapki family ka message nahi aa hai kya? Unhe Rohan pasand aa hai. Rishta pakka karwa rahe hai, dono ka college khatam hote hi, dono ki shaadi karwa denge.

The ground slipped under the feet of Samaina. Unknown terror gripped the hearts of the young couple, and visuals of past ran through infront of Sameer's vision, just this time he was visualising Preeti in place of Pranati.

Sameer: Nnnnaaaaaahhhhhhiiiiiii!

Naina kept her palm on Sameer's arm and got him back to reality. Sameer looked at Ruhaan's evil smirking face and Purvi's shocked face.

Sameer: Mera....mera matlab tha....bahut jaldi nahi ho raha hai sab kuch? I mean sirf 6-7 mahine huye hai Preeti aur Rohan ko mile. Unko time dena chahiye ek dusre ko samjhne ko. Shaadi, rishta yeh sab bharibharkam cheezein unpar nahi dalni chahiye abhi.

Naina: Haan, Sameer ji sahi keh rahe hai. Dono bahut chote hai abhi. Aur nadaan bhi.

Ruhaan: Aap bhi toh choti hai Naina ji, apne bhi shaadi kar li, Purvi 19 saal ki thi, jab humne shaadi kari thi. Baat umar ki nahi, baat zimmedariyon ki hoti hai.

Sameer: Zimmedariyon ko samjhne ke liye insaan ka mature hona zaroori hai. Aur Naina 24 saal ki hai, maana ab bhi choti hai. Lekin mature hai ki shaadi aur rishte samjh sake. Purvi ko halaton ne mature bana diya tha. Par Preeti! Ab bhi woh ghar par sabse choti banke rahi hai.

Naina: Purvi ji, main Preeti ki badi behen hun. Mujhe uski chinta hai, aur main nahi chahti ki woh jahan bhi jaaye shaadi karke, wahan woh kisi pressure mein rahe. Aur na hi main chahti hun ki shaadi ke wajah se usse koi pachtava ho. Mere khyal se usko aur Rohan ko decide karna chahiye ki kab shaadi karni hai.

Before Ruhaan could say anything, Purvi interrupted.

Purvi: Main aapki baat samjhti hun Naina ji. Main bhi Rohan ka bhala chahti hun. Maine infact Ruhaan se iss baare mein baat bhi ki thi. Par..... khair. Aap apni family se baat kar lijiye. Humari taraf se koi pressure nahi hai shaadi ko leke.

Naina: Thank you so much Purvi ji!

Purvi smiled at Naina and left along with Ruhaan. Samaina exhaled a breathe of relief, seeing Purvi convinced by their pleas.

Sameer: Pakka kuch gadbad hai. Nahi toh itni jaldi kyun hai Ruhaan ko shaadi karwane ki. Mujhe nahi lagta Purvi ka idea hoga yeh.

Naina: Suniye, main Papa se baat kar lun kya? Wohi samjha payenge baaki sabko.

Sameer: Haan kar lo. Tab tak main Dadu se baat kar leta hun.

Naina dialled her loving father, who got alerted seeing the call coming from his strict yet cute and loving daughter, as he was stealing some sweet biscuits from kitchen.

Rakesh (mumbled to himself ): Rama! Tum chali gayi par apni atma Naina mein chod gayi. Isko humesha kaise pata chal jaata hai ki main kuch cheating karne ja raha hun? Thik ussi waqt ya toh iska phone aata hai ya toh khud aa jati hai.

Abhi phone utha leta hun, nahi toh pure Jaipur ko sar par utha legi.

(To Naina): Hello beta! Kaisi hai meri bacchi?

Naina: Hello Papa! Main ek dum thik hun. Aap kaise ho? Morning walk kar li na?

Rakesh: Haan beta! Just 10 minute pehle fresh hoke aaya main. Tu bata, itni subah subah kyun phone ki?

Naina: Papa woh darasal, main aur Sameer ji jidhar thehre hai na, woh Purvi ji ke mayke walon ka hai. Aur woh aur Ruhaan Ji yahan aaye huye hai. Kal hi unse mulakat huyi.

Rakesh: Purvi aur Ruhaan? Woh Rohan ke bhai bhabhi?

Naina: Haan Papa! Woh hi....

Rakesh: Oh accha... Acchi baat hai phir toh. Woh log bada chah rahe the ki tujhse aur Sameer se mile.

Naina: Hmmm, woh Papa.....

Rakesh: Hmmm bolna beta. Kya baat hai? Tu pareshan lag rahi hai.

Naina: Papa woh aaj dono abhi thodi der pehle humse milne aaye the, Mumbai wapas jaane se pehle. Aur unhone bataya ki aap log milke Preeti aur Rohan ki shaadi baat chala rahe ho. Dono ke graduation ke baad baad.

Rakesh: Kyaa!? Aissi koi baat nahi huyi hai ghar par. Atleast mere janakari mein nahi huyi hai. Ek min ruk, teri Chachi se puchta hun.

(To Bela) Arrey Bela bahu, idhar aana toh.

Bela: Ji Rakesh bhaisahab!

Rakesh: Tumne, Anand ne aur bhaisahab bhabhi ne Rohan ke bhai bhabhi se shaadi ki baat chedi hai kya? Dono ki graduation ke baad baad?

Bela: Nahi bhaisahab! Aur itni jaldi kyun karwaye unki shaadi? 6-7 mahine toh huye hai unhe mile. Aur hum Rohan aur uske parivaar ko jante hi kitna hai?
Aap kyun puch rahe hai?

Rakesh: Nahi nahi, aisse hi pucha maine. Naina se baat ho rahi thi, toh achanak se dimaag mein yeh baat aayi.

Bela: Aap Naina se baat kar rahe hai? Mujhe bhi karni hai.

Naina: Jai Shrikrishna Chachiji!

Bela: Jai Shrikrishna beta! Wahan mausam kaisa hai? Sunita behen bata rahi thi ki Jaipur mein thand badh gayi hai.

Naina: Haan, kal raat zyada thand thi. Sameer ji ne room heater lagwa diya tha. Aur abhi thodi kam hai thand. Din mein thand nahi hoti generally.

Bela: Thik hai, apna aur damadji ka khyal rakhna.

Naina: Ji Chachiji.....Main rakhti hun. Woh Sameer ji Dadaji aur Papaji se baat karne wale hai, toh mujhe bhi unse baat karni hai.

Bela: Haan haan, ja beta. Main phone bhaisahab ko deti hun. Unhe bye bol de.

Rakesh: Haan beta, main rakhta hun.

Naina: Papa! Mujhe aapse kuch kehna hai.

Rakesh: Bolna beta!

Naina told everything about Ruhaan to Rakesh that Sameer told her last night, except mentioning Pranati's name, she mentioned some random girl's name and didn't include that Sameer was present in the scene.

Rakesh: Hey bhagwan! Ruhaan aissa ladka hai?!

Naina: Haan Papa! Sameer ji ne ek aadmi ko Rohan ke peeche lagaya hai. Hopefully jaldi saari information aa jayegi. Papa, agar kabhi bhi dono ki shaadi ki chide, toh aap please sambhal lijiyega uss topic ko. Jab tak Rohan ka sach samne nahi aata, hum usse humari Preeti nahi de sakte.

Rakesh: Haan beta! Main bhi Preeti se iss Rohan ke baare mein jitna ho sake utna information nikalne ki koshish karta hun.

Naina: Haan Papa!

Rakesh: Beta, inn sab mein tu Sameer par dhyan dena bhul maat jaana. Bahut pyaar karta hai woh tujhse. Aur main dawe ke saath keh sakta hun, teri khushi ke liye kuch bhi kar sakta hai woh ladka. Bas, uske saath apne rishte ko itna majboot banana ke koi bhi andhi aake usse todna de.

Naina: Ji Papa! Bhale main unse unki tarah pyaar nahi karti, par woh mere bhi kuch lagte hai.

Naina's eyes went to her loving and handsome husband who was sitting on the couch and was noting something on a paper. Seeing him every moment next to her, melts her heart and she feels more safe and happy.

Rakesh: Bas, aisse hi uske saath khush reh. Aur jaldi mil mujhse. Main rakhta hun, nashta karke aaj Awasthi uncle ke ghar jaana hai.

Naina: Thik hai Papa. Bye!

Naina kept the phone on the bed and sat next to him closely, she wounded her arms around his, and kept her head on his shoulder to look at the paper on his lap. Sameer was shocked to see her so close to him and that too by her own.

Naina: Kya likh rahe hai aap Sameer ji?!

Sameer: Wo....woh....woh main...main Dadu ke transaction history.....no....note kar raha tha.

Naina: Hmmm, aap hakla kyun rahe hai? Aur itna hairan kyun dikh rahe hai? Kya hua?

Sameer: Tum...tum aisse.....mere paas baithi ho, aur mere kandhe pe sar rakhi ho. Pehli baar.....toh....toh hairani....ho rahi hai.

Naina giggled and planted a soft kiss on his cheek, and got up.

Naina: Good morning Patidev ❤️

Saying this, she went to washroom along with her clothes. Sameer kept his palm on his cheek where she just kissed and was gaping at the door of the washroom, which just got closed.

Sameer: Aaj toh wakai morning good hai. Yeh kya hai bhagwan ji? Uss pizza mein kuch mil gaya tha kya? Jo Naina mujhse dur bhagti thi, woh aaj mere paas baithi thi, mere kandhe par sar rakhi thi, aur abhi mere gaal par kiss karke gayi.
Isse humesha aisse hi rakhna bhagwan. Mujhe bas woh purani Naina chahiye jo apne aap par bharosa karti thi, apne apno par bharosa karti thi. Aur mujhe woh Naina nazar aa rahi hai.

Meanwhile inside the washroom, Naina was doing self talks.

Naina: Yeh maine kya kiya? Achanak se Sameer ji ke gaal par kiss! Pata nahi mujhe kya hogaya hai. Jabse unse dil ki baat kahi hai, bas unke paas rehna ka mann kar raha hai. Unko khud se ek second ke liye durr nahi karne ka mann ho raha hai. Pata nahi Sameer Ji kya soch rahe honge.

Ek sec! Kya soch rahe honge ka matlab? Pati hai mere woh. Haq hai mera unhe gaale lagana aur kiss karna. Ismein itni badi baat bhi nahi hai. Aur agar unhone kuch kaha toh main bhi bol dungi, aap mujhse pyaar karte hai main aapko pasand karti hun, aisse hugs aur kisses toh chalte hai. Aur khud hi apne paas bulate hai. Ab pass aaun toh problem! Huh!

Sameer was having mungeri lal ke haseen sapne when his phone rang and he was brought out to reality.

Sameer: Hello! Papa!

Vishakha: Main bol rahi bin Sameer beta!

Sameer: Jahan tak mujhe yaad hai maine apne Papa ko phone kiya tha, aapko nahi. So please, mere Papa ko phone dijiye.

Vishakha: Sameer, main tumhari Maa hun beta!

Sameer: Meri Maa ka naam Vaishali hai! Aur unko maare 18 saal hogaye hai, aur aap bas duniya ko dikhane ke liye meri Maa hai. Mere ghar par aap bas ek tenant hai jo bina payment ke 18 saalon se reh raha hai. Na hi aap meri Maa hai, na hi mere Papa ki biwi aur na hi mere Dadu ki bahu. So please! Apna drama mere ya mere parivaar ke saamne maat kijiye!

So, Vishakha Aunty please mere Papa ke kamre se bahar nikliye aur apne kamre ko jayiye. Aur jaate jaate mere Papa ko unka phone deti jayiye.

Vishakha felt insulted and immediately ran to Vivek and handed him his phone, who gave her murderous look seeing her coming out of his room with his phone.

Sameer: Hello Papa?

Vivek: Haan beta bol! Itni subah kyun phone kar raha hai? Sab thik hai na?

Sameer: Papa kal raat ko Mr. Batra ka call aaya tha. Unhone bataya ki Dadu ne apne personal account se 10 lakh ka transaction kiya hai. Aapko pata hai kya ki unhone kahan itne paise bheje hai?

Vivek: Beta....woh.....haan mujhe pata hai unhone kahan itne paise spend kiye hai.

Sameer: Kahan?

Vivek told him about what Vishakha, Prabha and Kamlesh were about to do with Poonam, and Jaiprakash ji had given 10 lakhs to that man whom they contacted, so that next time they won't dare to, set a deal with Poonam involved. And later on reported Police about the man.

Sameer: Hey bhagwan! Unn teeno ne Poonam bhabhi maa ke saath aissa karne ka socha? Papa! Aap.....aap unhe hum sabse alag kyun nahi bhej dete? Aaj Poonam bhabhi ke saath aissa hone wala tha, kal ko Naina.....

Vivek: Nahi! Main unn teeno ko meri bahu par nazar dalne nahi dunga. Maine aur Papa ne kuch socha hai.

Sameer: Kya socha hai aap logo ne?

Vivek: Beta, tu abhi Jaipur ghumne gaya hai. Aur inn sabke baare mein abhi maat soch. Nayi nayi shaadi huyi hai, abhi Naina ke upar concentrate kar. Baaki sab main aur Papa dekh lenge. Aur Naina ko iske baare mein maat batana. Darr jayegi aur Papa ko pata nahi chalna chahiye ki maine tujhe sab kuch bata diya hai.

Sameer: Thik hai Papa! Apna, Dadu aur Poonam bhabhi ka khayal rakhiyega.

Vivek: Haan beta. Waise meri pyaari bahu kya kar rahi hai?

Sameer: Woh Papaji se baat karne gayi hai.

Vivek: Accha accha. Main soch raha tha ki Agrawal House ghum aaun. Shaadi ke waqt Rakesh bhaisahab, Anand bhaisahab aur Naresh bhaisahab se thik se baat hi nahi huyi. Shaadi ki bhag daud mein sab busy the. Do pal shanti se baatein hi nahi huyi unse.

Sameer: Haan Papa, bahut hi pyaari family hai. Lagne nahi dete ki main unka damad hun. Aissa lagta hai jaise main unka beta hun.

Vivek: Haan, family pyaari aur saath mein unki beti bhi bahut pyaari hai. Sach Sameer! Naina se acchi bahu hume aur biwi tujhe nahi mil sakti thi.

Sameer: Papa, main bahut khush hun ki Naina humari life mein aagayi. Accha aap aaram kijiye. Main rakhta hun.

Vivek: Haan haan, biwi ke saath waqt mila hai toh buddhe baap se kyun baat karega tu 😏

Sameer: Papa aissa kuch nahi hai....

Vivek: Chal chal mujhe maat bata. Maine bhi teri umar mein teri Mumma se ishq ladhaya hai. Ja ja, Naina ke saath apni zindagi puri khushi se jee le. Ek lamha maat chodna. Zindagi bahut choti hai beta, aur iss choti si zindagi mein bahut kam waqt milta hai apne life partner ke saath.

Main bhi dekh na, itna emotional baatein karne laga. Ja dekh meri bahu kya kar rahi hai. Main rakhta hun. Bye.

Sameer: Bye Papa

After declining the call, Sameer kept looking at his phone. If he was devoid of mother's love from the past 18 years, then even his father was alone in this world. There many times when he witnessed Vivek sitting alone in lawn or terrace and gazed the starry sky. Few times he heard him talking too looking at the stars.

Sameer: We miss you Mumma.

Sameer's eyes pooled up seeing the old pictures of his happy family where his mom was there. Those days and moments were very loving and happy.

When Naina came out of the washroom, she found Sameer sitting on the couch with a pale face and tears were rolling down his cheeks. She immediately sat next to him and kept her palm on his shoulder, and looked at him alarmingly.

Naina: Sameer ji! Mumma ki yaad aa rahi hai?

Sameer nodded his head and bursted out with tears. Naina pulled him closer and kept his head on her chest and wounded her arms around him. She was rubbing his back and was whispering encouraging words in his ears.

Naina: Sameer ji, aisse nahi rote. Aap rone lag jayenge toh mujhe koun chup karayega?

Sameer chuckled and pulled her closer. Finally after so long, he had someone's shoulder to cry on, he had an embrace to give him the much needed comfort and warmth. He finally had someone who could give him the same amount of love and care, as his mom used to give. After sometime, Sameer was back to his normal self.

Sameer: Thank you Naina, mujhe sambhalne ke liye.

Naina: Yeh kya bol rahe hai aap! Biwi hun aapki, agar kabhi aap kamzor pade toh aapko hosla dene ka farz hai mera. Aur main aapko nahi sambhalti toh koun sambhalta?

Sameer: Ek baat kahun Naina?

Naina: Ek kyun? 100 baatein kahiye.

Sameer: Kuch saal pehle jab Pooja didi ki shaadi ho rahi thi, tab Bua dadi ko bolte suna tha ki har ladka apni biwi mein apni Maa ki, aur har ladki apne pati mein apne Papa ki jhalak dhundhti hai. Mujhe tum mein meri Mumma ki jhalak saaf nazar aati hai. Kabhi kabhi lagta hai, shayad unhone hi tumhe mujhse milaya hai.

Naina held his face in her palms and kissed his forehead. Listening to him, she was reminded of her mom. She had said the same thing to her once. Even she found her dad's traits in Sameer. And was happy to get Sameer as her husband.

Naina(to herself): Thank you Bhagwan ji! Mujhe Sameer ji se milane ke liye. Aur unhe mere pati banane ke liye. Main waada karti hun apne aap se, kabhi bhi inka saath nahi chodungi.

Naina: Accha ek baat bataiye, aap achanak se rone kyun lag gaye?

Sameer: Woh abhi meri baat Papa se ho rahi thi, aur baaton baaton mein woh emotional hogaye. Mumma ki kami ab bhi unhe khalti hai, aur kyun na khale. Biwi marri hai unki... Akele hogaye hai woh.

Naina: Sameer ji, main samjh sakti hun. Main itne saal bas apni insecurities mein jeeti rahi. Papa ke baare mein kabhi zyada socha nahi. Na hi unse unka dukh banta. Par I am sure Papaji aur Papa ka dukh, dard aur taklif ek jaisa hi hoga. Aur kisne kaha Papaji akele hai? Unke saath unka beta hai, unke pita hai aur toh aur main bhi hun ab. Na aapke Papa akele hai aur na hi mere.

Sameer: Hmmm....accha chalo. Main jaake ready ho jaata hun. Aaj Hawa Mahel ghumne ka plan bana hai na. Aur upar se tumhe yahan ki saari special dishes thodi khilayi hai.

Naina: Haan woh bhi hai! Jaldi ready ho jayiye Mr. Maheshwari. Sirf 7 din bacche hai aapke paas, mujhe ghumane ke liye aur yahan ki tasty aur mazedaar khana khilane ke liye.

Naina felt really happy seeing her loving and handsome husband back to his happy mood, and being playful with her. When his back was towards her, she took ballaein of him and prayed good to save him from all evil eyes.
