Sameer: Hmm, toh ab kahan jaana chahengi aap?

Akshara: Sochne dijiye!

Sameer: Jaldi sochiye Akshara! Hume harana bhi toh hai Abhimanyu aur Naina ko!

Akshara: Haan haan!

I know you all will be wondering why Sameer and Akshara are together and where are Abhimanyu and Naina? So let me take you back few minutes ago.

The first game that the four of them thought to play was the rings game. There were six tables of different heights kept in staircase structure, and each table and six items. The shopkeeper gave them six rings, and they had to try and put the ring around maximum items to win them.

Abhimanyu: Akshu, chalo haara dete hai tumhari old friend aur mere new friend ko!

Naina: Jeetenge toh hum hi! Kyun Sameer ji?

Sameer: Jaisa aap chahe! Waise hoga!

Both the couples got involved in a competition. Naina threw three rings and out of which only two rings was aimed right. Whereas Sameer's all three turns turned foul. On the other end, Abhimanyu's two rings got it's aim and Akshara couldn't make it. So it was tie.

Akshara: Koi baat nahi! Aur bhi games hai. Wahan dekh lenge!

Sameer: Haan dekh lijiyega!

The next game was lighting candles. There were twelve candles, and with a single burning matchstick you need to light as much candles possible.

Sameer: Yeh toh mere baen hath ka khel hai! Yeh wala game hum jeet jayenge Naina!

Naina: Aap itna confident hai toh jeet hi jayenge. Par aapko machis jalana aata toh hai na Sameer ji?

Sameer looked at her in disbelief and replied: Seriously Naina?

Naina: Ammm, chaliye chaliye! Shuru karte hai!

Naina bit her tongue slightly and hit her head softly, and followed Sameer.

Sameer and Naina were able to light total 15 candles out of 24 candles with 5 from Sameer's side and 10 from Naina's side. Abhimanyu and Akshara lite 12 candles out of 24 candles with 10 from Abhimanyu's side and 2 from Akshara's side.

Sameer: Phew! Finally hum jeet gaye!

Naina: Haan par aap aur zyada candles jala sakte the. Par apne jalaya nahi!

Sameer: Ek hi machis se jalana tha na. Aur meri machis khatam hogayi thi.

Naina: Nahi! Jitni bacchi thi usmein aap aur do teen candles jala sakte the. Aapki wajah se humara score 15 reh gaya. Pichle game mein bhi aap concentrate nahi kiye the rings dalne mein!

Abhimanyu: Tumne bhi same cheez kiya hai Akshu! Candle phatak se jal jaati hai. Par tum ek hi candle lagane mein itna time laga rahi thi!

Akshara: Arre! Sure hona banta hai na! Yeh dekhun nahi ki candle jala ki nahi aur aage badh jaun. Phir kya fayda rehta machis jalane ka?

Abhimanyu: Bahana maat banao! Accept kar lo ki tum slow thi. Akshu, agar nahi aata tha toh bata deti. Hum nahi khelte iss game ko!

Naina: Sameer ji, maana aap kehte ho ki aap ko sab aata hai. Par sach mein sab aana zaroori nahi hai. Aur jo na aaya usse accept kar lena galat nahi hota!

Akshara: Haaawwww!! Tum dono toh hum dono par chadhe ja rahe ho! Hum jaanbujhkar thodi kar rahe hai yeh sab! Aur hume aata hai sab kuch! Hai na Sameer?

Sameer: Haan! Aur itni problem hai na aap dono ko hum dono ke saath khelne mein toh thik hai! Hum partner change kar lete hai!

Akshara: Haan! Main aur Sameer ek team aur tum do intelligent insaan ek team! Aur at the end dekhte hai koun kitna jeet ke aayega! Hum same games nahi khelenge ek time par!

Sameer: Haan! End mein dekhte hai kitna aata hai hum dono ko! Chaliye Akshara!

Sameer and Akshara turned and started walking away from Abhimanyu and Naina who were dumbfounded seeing Sameer and Akshara react like this.

Abhimanyu: Yeh dono toh bura maan gaye!

Naina: Ab kya kare?

Abhimanyu: Karna kya hai? Chal kar games khelte hai.

Flashback over.

Akshara: Sameer, woh break dance wale mein chale?

Sameer: Chalte hai. Aapko vertigo nahi hai na? Jhatke jor ke lagte hai.

Akshara: Nahi hai vertigo! Aur bahut baar break dance wali ride li hai maine. So aap chinta maat kijiye.

Sameer: Toh phir chaliye! Dikha dete hai apne apne partners ko ki hum kisi se kam nahi hai!

Akshara: Yesss! Chaliye!

Sameer and Akshara hurriedly stood in the queue after Sameer got two tickets for the ride. Unknown to them, Abhimanyu and Naina were standing in the same queue but after two to three people.

After few people, Akshara and Sameer got their chance, and sat in the car that the volunteer assigned them. Like a gentleman Sameer first buckled Akshara properly and then himself.

The ride started, and Sameer was sitting on the driver side, even though Akshara knew how to drive but he didn't want to risk her safety, as many times people forget this is a game and not some real war. And aggressively hit the other car.

Sameer was hitting car here and there, when a car hit them from behind. Sameer reversed the car to see who hit him, and found Abhimanyu and Naina giggling at them.

Akshara: Sameer! Chodiyega maat inn dono ko!

Sameer: Aye aye captain!

Sameer drove towards Abhimanyu and Naina, and bumped the car with them. The two cars kept bumping with each other, when Naina's eyes fell on a familiar face in the crowd near the sporting arena.

Naina: Kya maine..... Nahi nahi. Aissa nahi ho sakta. Woh yahan nahi ho sakte. Par..... Zaroori thodi hai ki woh yahan nahi honge. Ho bhi sakte hai. Sameer Ji se baat karun kya? Nahi nahi, agar mera vehm hua toh khamakha yeh pareshaan ho jayenge.

With this as her last thought, she diverted her attention to the ongoing competition. She cheered Abhimanyu and motivated him to go behind Sameer and Akshara's car.

With lots of fun and bumps, Abhira and Samaina made a exit out of the break dance arena.

Akshara: Sameer, humne woh balloon wala game toh khela nahi hai. Wahan chale?

Sameer: Haan chalte hai. Pehle kuch kha lete hai. Lunch sahi se kiya nahi tha kisine....

Abhimanyu: Aur Akshu! Bas utna hi khelte hai na. Aur kitne games khelogi.

Akshara squinted her eyes and replied: Kyun? Darr lag raha hai ki hum dono tum dono ko haara denge!?

Abhimanyu: Nahi, hum darr kahan rahe hai. Main toh bas itna keh raha hun ki baaki ka time hum saath mein bitaye. Alag alag nahi.

Akshara squinted her eyes at Abhimanyu, and then looked at Sameer. Sameer asked her what to do through eyes. Akshara gave him a mischievous smile.

Akshara: Thik hai! Par ek shart par.

Naina: Kaisi shart?

Akshara: Tum dono ko maana hoga ki hum dono losers nahi hai. Aur hum dono ne yeh challenge jeet liya hai. Which is very obvious.

Abhimanyu: Thik hai Akshu! Maana! Tum aur Sameer jeet gaye yeh challenge aur main aur Naina haar gaye.

Akshara/Sameer: Yeh huyi na baat!

Seeing Sameer and Akshara giggle and giving each other hi-five, Abhimanyu and Naina smiled.

Abhimanyu: Iske chehre par muskaan laane ke liye main ek kya hazar lakhon baar haar manne ko taiyaar hun.

Naina: Main bhi. Dono ne zindagi mein bahut mushkilen dekhi hai, bahut dukh dekhe hai. Unke life partner hone ke naate, yeh humari zimmedaari honi chahiye ki hum inn dono humesha khush rakhe.

As Abhimanyu wasn't aware of what difficulties and sorrows Sameer has seen and undergone, he couldn't understand why Naina said it for Sameer. But he knew about Akshara's pain. And he couldn't deny what Naina said.

Akshara: Naina! Tujhe yaad hai hum school mein SUPW ki class mein pottery karte the.

Naina: Haan! Kapde gande ho jaate the toh Taiji aur Chachiji bahut danti thi, tune bhi toh dadiji se kitni dant khayi thi.

Akshara: Haan, par Rama aunty bacha leti thi. Chal na aaj bhi purane din jeete hai. Phir se pottery karte hai. Aaj koi nahi hai dantne wala.

Naina: Nahi nahi! Taiji aur Chachiji ko pata chala toh bahut dantegi. Aur iss baar Maa bhi chodegi. Woh bhi....

Naina realised that her Maa isn't there to scold her for the soiled clothes. She isn't here to save her from her Taiji and Chachiji's lecture about carrying an extra shirt. Sameer understood this, and wounded his arm around her shoulder.

Sameer: Toh kya hua agar Maa nahi hai. Main hun. Tumhare kapde gande hone par main tumhe dant dunga. Aur agar koi aur dantne ki koshish karta hai, toh main usse dant dunga.

Abhimanyu: Aur Badi Mumma Mimi, Bade papa, AG, Kairav aur Vansh ki chinta tum maat karo. Enjoy karo!

Naina and Akshara flashed a huge smile at their husband, and ran in the direction where Akshara had seen the pottery stall. Sameer and Abhimanyu chuckled seeing their overexcited wives, and followed them after looking at each other and shaking their heads.

Abhimanyu: Sameer, don't mind me asking. Aaj subah jab aap apni sauteli Maa ke baare mein baat kar rahe the. Tab aapki aankhon mein nafrat saaf jhalak rahi thi. Kya aap apni sauteli Maa ko pasand nahi karte?

Sameer: Nahi! Main Vishakha aunty ko bilkul pasand nahi karta. Aur na hi woh mujhe karti hai. Meri Papa ki second wife, typical sauteli Maa hai. Bas farq itna hai ki woh mere Papa se bhi pyaar nahi karti.

Abhimanyu: Agar woh na tumse pyaar karti hai aur na hi tumhare Papa se, toh abhi tak tumhare ghar mein aur parivaar mein kyun hai?

Sameer: Meri Mumma se kiye waade ke wajah se. Meri Mumma ka accident hua tha, aur jab woh apni akhri sansein ginn rahi thi, tab unhone Dadu aur Papa se waada liya tha ki Papa Vishakha aunty se shaadi kar le. Aur unka saath kabhi na chode. Saath mein Vishakha aunty ke bhai bhabhi ko bhi rakhe apne saath.

Abhimanyu: Aunty pehle janti thi tumhari step mom ko?

Sameer: College friends the Mumma, Papa aur Vishakha aunty. Bahut baar Vishakha aunty ghar aayi hai. Mumma ke jaane se pehle tak she was really nice. Phir jabse shaadi huyi hai unki Papa se, aissa laga jaise ek nakab pehen rakha tha unhone.

Abhimanyu: Tum unke saath ek hi chatt ke neeche kaise reh lete ho?

Sameer chuckled and replied: Pata nahi. Shayad koi aur option na milne ke wajah se. Waise bhi unke aane ke baad se main ya Papa ya Dadu ghar par zyada rehte nahi hai. Main school, tuition, college, MBA, office inn sab chakkaron mein bahar rehta tha aur Papa aur Dadu bhi office ka kaam yeh kaam woh kaam, iss bahane se bahar rehte. Finally ek reason mila hum teeno ko ghar par rehne ka. Naina!

Abhimanyu smiled at Sameer and looked at the best friend duo. Even his wife has become a reason for his homecoming since six months.

Sameer: Yeh sab emotional aur serious baatein chodo. Zindagi hai, kabhi na kabhi kisi na kisi modh par imtihaan le leti hai. Aur humesha khushiyaan bharke de, yeh zaroori nahi hai.

Abhimanyu: Bilkul sahi kaha tumne! Aur itne gham aur taklif ke zindagi ne hume do khubsurat life partners di hai. Jinke hone se yeh berang aur challenging zindagi, khushnuma lagne lagi hai. Nahi?

Sameer: Haan haan! I agree! Maine jabse Naina ko dekha, mere toh fuse udd gaye hai. Mujhe hi pata hai do saal kaise khudko sambhala hai.

Abhimanyu: Do saal lag gaye shaadi hone mein?

Sameer: Haan! Tumhe toh maloom hoga na. Naina ki mom ke wajah se, usne 12th ke baad thoda break liya tha. Aur jab maine usse dekha tha, tab woh 1st year mein thi. Tab uske perspective relationship aur family ko leke kuch aur the. So maine approach nahi kiya tha tab. Abhi jaake ghar walon ko leke gaya uske ghar, aur shaadi pakki karwake aaya.

Abhimanyu: Akshu ne bhi koi kam papad nahi bilwaye mujhse. Manne ko taiyar nahi thi woh, ki she loves me. Kitne drame huye, maine Kairav aur bade papa se thappad bhi khaye hai. Par finally, hogayi shaadi!

Sameer: Anth bhala toh sab bhala!

Abhimanyu and Sameer giggled at this, and were discussing about the rituals of Kairav's wedding when their wives called their names. Both of them looked at their wives, who looked cute in the pottery apron, and tied hair. Smiling at them, they walked towards the ladies.

Naina: Sameer Ji, dekhiye maine kya banaya hai!

Sameer squatted next to her, and waited for Naina to remove her palm over the semi-dry earthen sculpture, and gasped when he saw what she made.

Sameer: Naina.... Yeh toh.... Yeh toh mere jaisa lag raha hai. I mean tumne height, body shape aur baal waise hi banaya hai.

Naina: Aapko hi banaya hai.

Sameer: Sach?

Naina: Haan!

Sameer: Thank you.

Sameer smiled at his wife, and tucked the loose tendril behind her ear. He turned around to give money to the man who had set the stall, when his eyes fell on a familiar face. His eyes widened and the color of his face faded. He gasped and whispered the person's name.

Sameer: Devang Bhaiya!

Naina heard Sameer, and she too looked at the direction where he was looking. She found the same familiar looking face, and realised that her assumption wasn't wrong. But before she could say anything, Sameer stood up and ran behind Devang, who had started walking out.

Abhimanyu: Inhe kya hua?

Naina: Woh.....inka pehchan ka koi dikh gaya. Toh unke peeche gaye hai. Amm....hum chalte hai. Sameer ji aake hume join kar lenge.

Very conveniently Naina slipped out that they shall continue enjoying the carnival, but her heart and mind was loitering around, trying to find Sameer or Devang. Today morning when Sameer spoke about Devang, she could see the ache of his heart in his eyes. And now after few hours, he saw that person and his face clearly reflected the joy and the astonishment.

Abhimanyu: Naina, Sameer ko call kijiye na. Puchiye ki kahan hai? Wapas bhi jaana hai na hume.

Naina: Haan....

When she unlocked her phone to call Sameer, she noticed that there is notification of whatsApp under the name of Sameer.

Naina! Main Devang Bhaiya ke peeche bhagte bhagte bahar aagaya hun. Aur ek auto se unka peecha kar raha hun. Tum Abhimanyu aur Akshara ke saath wapas unke ghar chali jao. Main wapas aata hun thodi der mein.

Meri chinta maat karna aur der ho toh khana kha lena please. I love you meri jaan ❤

Thik hai. Aap apna dhyan rakhna.
Please come back soon.
I l.....like you too ❤

Naina: Abhimanyu, woh yeh apne dost ke peeche nikal gaye hai. Bole ki apne aap wapas aa jayenge. Hume wapas jaane ko kaha hai.

Abhimanyu: Lagta hai bahut purane dost mil gaye hai.

Naina gave a nervous smile and nodded.

Naina (in her mind) : Bhagwaan ji, Sameer ji aur Devang bhaiya ki baat acche se ho jaaye. Main janti hun jabse bhaiya gaye hai, tab se Sameer ji bahut taklif mein hai. Please unki taklif dur karne mein madad karna.

Abhira with Naina reached Birla house within an hour. Naina rushed to the room that was given to her and Sameer to freshen up. So that when Sameer comes, she can calmly have a conversation with him.

After freshening up, Naina went to hall and sat on the sofa set, waiting for Sameer. She had tried calling him up, but his phone was either unreachable or he wasn't picking up. Time passed rapidly, and now the whole Birla clan was sitting in the hall and waiting for Sameer's return. They had guessed that something is wrong from the frown on Naina's face and decided not to ask her anything as it can increase her anxiety.

Naina was sitting in the middle of Akshara and Manjiri, who had held her hand and were giving her support.

Naina had almost given up the patience and was about ask a two wheeler to the family, when they heard the sound of a car door closing. Naina was on her feet, and had taken 3-4 steps when Sameer came in vision.

Sameer who never let's his hair mess up, had his hair messed up, like someone had ruffled his hair harshly. His shirt which was perfectly tucked in was now out, and looked soiled. His face reflected the devastation. He looked lost and lifeless. His face was white and it looked like his body didn't have energy to withstand.

Sameer was about stumble on the carpet, and was mentally prepared to kiss the floor, when an arm held him. He looked up and found his wife's doe shaped eyes filled with concern in them.

Muskurahat Ya Nami Hogi
Jitne Gham Jitni Khushi Hogi
Baant Lenge Milke Dono
Kya Kami Hogi

Looking at Naina, his eyes pooled up. He hugged her tightly and let his tears roll down. Naina was completely confused why Sameer was sobbing, but didn't voice out her confusion. She held him close to her, and waited for sometime.

Sang Tere Zindagi
Kitni Haseen Hogi
Sang Tere Zindagi
Kitni Haseen Hogi

When Naina realised that he isn't budging for a long time. She walked him to the sofa, and made him sit. Naina knew that Sameer is oblivious of everything happening and is still in the zone of his conversation with Devang.

Naina: Akshu! Ek katori mein paani la degi aur ek saaf kapda bhi.

Akshara nodded her head and was about go when Neil stopped her and signalled that he will get it.

Mahima: Aissa kya hogaya hai jo Sameer aisse chup chap aur shock hogaya hai.

Anand: Pata nahi. Par bacche ki halat toh dekho. Khichad lag gaya hai kapdo par. Aur aissa lag raha hai ki shayad road par gir bhi gaya tha.

Kitni Haseen Hogi

Dil Ne Paayi Raahatein
Kam Hue Kuchh Gham

Neil passed the bowl and cloth to Naina, who started wiping Sameer's face and cleaned the soil and tear marks. She wiped his face with the wet cloth for more two times. And finally wiped his face with her dupatta.

Jabse Meri Zindagi Mein
Aa Gaye Ho Tum

When Naina was doing so, for a fraction of second, Sameer had his concentration diverted from his and Devang's encounter to Naina. He could see her concern and pooled eyes. And at that moment, he fell in love with her a little more.

When Naina looked at his face, and found him looking at her, she passed a small smile. She weaved her fingers through his hair, and set them properly.

Naina: Chaliye, aapke kapde gande hogaye hai. Change kar lijiye. Phir khana bhi khana hai na aapko.

She forwarded her palm in front of him, and his quivering hands slowly were on top of her's. She pressed them lightly, and then helped him stand up. Before walking away, she asked Akshara to send a plate of food for both of them.

Meri Sooni Raat Mein
Khaali Banjar Aankh Mein
Khwaab Laye Tum

The Naina who had gotten shy seeing her husband shirtless right after he took bath, was now changing his shirt as her husband wasn't moving and with the strong determination of fixing his disheveled condition, she cleaned him up and changed his clothes. Just had left the trousers on, which Abhimanyu had changed.

In Labon Pe Phir Hansi Hogi
Ho Har Taraf Bas Roshni Hogi
Aasmaan Se Khoobsurat
Yeh Zameen Hogi

Naina sat with the plate of food in front of Sameer, and forward a morsel. But he didn't open his mouth. Naina sighed and shook his shoulder a little to get him out of the zoned out state.

Naina: Aap agar khana nahi khayenge, toh kya jo bigda hai woh sawar jayega? Jo apni marzi se apna basa basaya ghar chod ke chale gaye, woh wapas aa jayenge? Nahi! Aissa kuch nahi hoga. Isliye please. Mere liye khana kha lijiye.

Sameer looked at his wife who looked equally affected with his condition. After meeting with Devang and hearing his story, for sometime he had become the Sameer who didn't have 1% faith in love and relationship. But here, in front of his eyes, he could see his wife, his Naina and his first love sitting in front of him and being concerned for him. She has been giving him support from the moment he stepped into the house.

Sang Tere Zindagi
Kitni Haseen Hogi
Hmm Sang Tere Zindagi
Kitni Haseen Hogi

He nodded his head, and asked Naina to feed him. And this time he quietly finished the plate. And had fed Naina too from the same plate as he knew, she wouldn't have eaten anything.

Kitni Haseen Hogi

Sameer opened his mouth to speak for the first since the past one and half hour, but Naina didn't allow him.

Naina: Pehle khana khatam kijiye. Muh dhaat dho lijiye. Phir aap baat karna aur main sunungi. Par tab tak ke liye jaise chup the waise hi chup rahiye.

Tune Di Yeh Chaahatein
Yeh Hai Tera Karam
Yoon Bhi Tanha Reh Ke
Thak Chuke Hai Hum

Sameer didn't react to it, which pinched Naina's heart. In the past six months of their relationship, she has never seen Sameer so lost and quiet. For her, Sameer was the epitome of strength. She knew that whatever the situation is, Sameer would tackle it with courage and come out of it successfully.

A lone tear slipped out of her eye, and it fell on his palm that was resting on his lap. He looked up and saw tears rolling down her cheeks. He was about to wipe, but she didn't allow.

Naina: Nahi, behene dijiye inhe. Aapko pata hai kitna darr gayi thi main. Aapko mujhse dur huye 4 ghante hogaye the, aapka phone off ja raha tha, main yahan Akshu aur uske family ke alwa kisiko janti nahi hun, kahan dhundhti main aapko Meer. Jaan halak mein aagayi thi. Aur jabse aaye hai, tabse chup hogaye hai. Aapke chehre par na hi muskan hai aur na hi aapki aankhon mein shararat. 6 mahine mein pehli baar aapko aisse pathar jaise dekhke mujhe itni taklif ho rahi hai, aapko pata bhi hai Meer? Nahi pata hai aapko!

Sameer's attention was drawn to something else. He listened to Naina, but his attention was drawn to her reference to him as Meer.

Sameer: Tum yeh kya bula rahi ho mujhe?

Naina realised that she had called him the nickname she had kept, twice. Her cheeks tinted, and she looked down and started concentrating on the non-existent pattern of her solid black dupatta.

Naina's endearment made Sameer forget his conversation with Devang, and now his concentration was back on his wife. He looked at her intently, and waited for her to repeat what she was calling. Seeing that he isn't budging and waiting for her to repeat it. Naina decided to give in.

Naina: Meer. Woh aap ne hi kaha tha ki aapko mera aapko Sameer ji bulana pasand nahi hai. Aur main aapko bulati bhi isliye thi kyunki main apne jazbaat accept nahi karna chahti thi. Par jab maine aapko keh diya hai ki main aapko ek pati ke nazar se dekhti hun. Toh aapko Sameer ji na bulane ke baare mein socha tha. Par Sameer bhi nahi bula sakti. Toh isliye maine yeh naam socha tha.......

Sameer: Tumne toh kaha tha ki tum mujhe naam se ussi din bulaogi jis din tum mujhse kahogi ki tum mujhse pyaar karti ho.........

Sameer's mind sent him a signal of realisation. He was about to ask further, when he saw Naina stood up. And wiped his face and hands with the wet cloth.

Naina: Aap jaisa soch rahe hai......waisa hi hai! Aur agar aapko aapka naya pasand nahi aa raha hai toh bata dijiye. Main wapas Sameer Ji bulana shuru kar dungi.

Ab Na Yeh Ehsaas Hai
Behke Se Jazbaat Hai
Muskuruye Hum

Before Naina could move out, Sameer hugged her from waist, and dug his face in her stomach.

Sameer: Mujhe tumhara diya hua naam bahut pasand hai. Aaj tak kisine mujhe koi nickname nahi diya. Tumne diya hai. Woh bhi pehli baar! Mujhe mera naam Meer bahut acha laga. Thank you Naina!
Aur thank you mera pyaar accept karne ke liye bhi.

Naina kept the plate back on the bed, and she wiped her hands with the wet cloth, before wrapping her arms around Sameer.

Naina: Aap thank you kyun bol rahe hai? Aap se bhala koi kaise pyaar na kar sakega? Aap itne pyaare ho, samjhdaar ho, sabka bhala sochne wale ho. Aapke dil mein kitna pyaar hai, aur aap sabko pyaar dene walon mein se ho. Mujhe hi dekh lijiye. Mera pyaar par se vishwas uth gaya tha, umeed nahi thi pyaar ki, lekin aapne meri zindagi pyaar ke rang bhare. Aur dekhiye, aaj mujhe hogaya pyaar. Aap se! Mere pati se! Mere Meer se.

Mujhko Yeh Vaada Sanam Dogi
Hmm Sath Mera Har Kadam Dogi
Mere Har Lamhaat Mein Haan
Tum Kahin Hogi

Sameer got overwhelmed with Naina's confession. The thought of this day being the worst day of his life after knowing why Devang left, just got flushed out. This day became the best day of his life, because the one line that he wanted to hear from the love of his life so desperately from the past 2 and a half year, finally rolled out!

Sameer: I love you Naina ❤ I really really really really love you ❤
And I promise, main tumhe kabhi akela nahi chodunga. Chahe kuch ho jaaye, tumhara Meer apni Jaan ko chod ke kahin nahi jayega.

Naina: I love you too Meer ❤ Aur main bhi aapse promise karti hun, main aapke life woh pyaar laungi jiske liye aap itne saal se taras rahe the. Main aapka haath aur saath kabhi nahi chodungi. Main aapki takat banungi!

And with saying this, Naina kept her head on top of his, which was resting on her stomach. She weaved her fingers through his hair, and she finally felt at peace. But her mind drifted to the thought of his and Devang's conversation as well. But she didn't want to spoil his happy moments.

Sang Tere Zindagi
Kitni Haseen Hogi
Hmm Sang Tere Zindagi
Kitni Haseen Hogi

Kitni Haseen Hogi

Sameer loosened his grip on her, and tugged her arm, to make her sit next to him. She did so, and he pulled her closer. He wanted her to feel his heartbeats after knowing that his love is getting reciprocated.

Sameer: Tumne aaj mujhe meri zindagi sabse badi khushi de di hai Naina! Mujhe yeh kehke ki tum bhi mujhse pyaar karti ho, mere saath umar bhar rehna chahti ho, tumne mere dil ko itna sukoon diya hai. Par tumhe kaise ehsaas hua aur kab?

Naina giggled and dug her face in his chest before replying. She turned her face a little so that she can see Sameer's face while speaking. Sameer weaved his fingers through her hair.

Naina: Aapse pyaar che mahine pehle hi hogaya tha. Jab aapne meri khushi ke liye apni khushi sacrifice karne ki sochi. Mujhe uss din aapki aankhon mein dikh gaya tha ki aap chahte the ki humara rishta pakka ho. Bas, maine apne pyaar ko acknowledge nahi kiya. Aapko pata hai kyun nahi acknowledge kara tha maine. Uske baad jaise aap meri saari pareshaani dur kiye, usse mujhe samjh aagaya tha ki ab main aapke liye meri feelings daba nahi sakti. Jab tak main Hawa mahal ke paas se ghum nahi huyi thi, mujhe ehsaas nahi tha ki main aapko pasand nahi aapse pyaar karti hun. Ussi din aapse pura din dur rehkar samjh aaya ki main aapse ek pal ke liye alag nahi reh sakti, meri jaan basti hai aap mein. Aap hai toh sab kuch hai. Phir maine decide kiya ki main aapko apne dil ki baat kisi khas din aur khas tarikke se bataungi. Par..... Aissa ho nahi paya.

Sameer lifted Naina's face, and curled his finger under her chin. He looked straight into her eyes lovingly and caressed her cheeks with his thumb.

Sameer: Mujhe koi grand proposal nahi chahiye tha meri jaan. Mujhe bas tumse yeh sunna tha ki jaisa pyaar mein tumse karta hun, waise tum bhi mujhse karti ho. Aur tumhare muh se Sameer Ji nahi sunna tha. Jo pura hogaya. Aur mujhe koi dissatisfaction nahi hai. Main bahut khush hun. Thank you and I love you ❤

Naina smiled and snuggled up with him. She had kept her head on his chest, and her arms were wrapped around him. His chin rested on top of her head, and his arms around her petite frame.

Naina: Meer, aapko pata hai jaise humare haath ke paanch ungliyaan alag hoti hai, ek jaise nahi. Waise hi har rishta aur uski sacchai, alag hoti hai. Mere Maa Papa ne ghar walon ke khilaaf jaake shaadi ki thi, alag caste ke wajah se. Dadaji Dadiji ko unka pyaar manjoor nahi tha. Toh woh log bhag gaye. Aur bhagke apni ek duniya basayi, mujhe iss duniya mein laaya. Aaj tak maine Tauji aur Taiji ko ek saath ek hi jagah akele nahi dekha hai. Bas apne kamre mein akele hote hai, aur woh bhi sirf sone ke liye raat ko. Haan comfortable hai ek saath, pyaar bhi hai, par usse dikhate nahi hai, jaatate nahi hai. Chachaji Chachiji aisse nahi hai. Woh dono bahut open hai. Bachpan mein bahut baar aissa hua hai ki Chachiji ke liye aaye huye phool aur chocolate hume de diye jaate the, taaki kisi ko pata na chale ki Chachaji Chachiji ke liye kuch laaye hai. I am sure Dadaji Dadiji ka, aur Papaji aur Mummy ki shaadi aur pyaar ki kahani alag hoti. Pralay bhaiya aur bhabhi ka rishta bhi alag hai. Arrange marriage thi, par courtship ka mauka nahi mila. Shaadi ho gayi jaldi aur Bhaiya career ko time dene ke chakkar mein bhabhi ko time de paaye.
Sabse important, humari shaadi aur rishte ko dekh lijiye. Aapko mujhse do saal se pyaar hai aur mujhe aapse che mahine se, jiska ehsaas do din pehle hua mujhe. Aapne apni biwi ka baggage clear kiya, usse umeed di.

Pata hai Meer, aap mere liye bhagwaan se kam nahi ho. Isliye nahi ki aap mere pati hai. Balki isliye kyunki aapne mujhe bachaya. Aapne mujhe ek aisse aag mein jalne se bachaya jo bin wajah se lagi thi. Agar uss din aapne mujhe samjhaya nahi hota toh shayad aaj hum dono itni karib aur saath nahi hote.

Aur Meer, main aapse waada karti hun. Aaj se leke jab tak main apni akhri sans lungi, tab tak mere liye aapse badhkar koi nahi hoga. Aap meri zindagi hai aur mera parivaar hai. Chahe koi rahe na rahe aapke saath, main aapke saath humesha rahungi.

Naina lifted her face, and pressed a long and loving kiss on his cheek. Sameer smiled at this, and he planted a long and big kiss on her forehead.

Sameer: Mujhe pata hai! Mujhe pata hai Sameer ki jaan, ke tum mujhe kabhi chod ke nahi jaogi. Aur na hi main jaunga aur na kabhi tumhe jaane dene wala hun.

Mujhe pata hai haar rishta alag hota hai. Par tumne mujhe abhi yeh sab kyun kaha?

Naina: Main janti hun aap Devang bhaiya aur Poonam bhabhi se bahut pyaar karte hai. 10 saal pehle jo kuch bhi hua, uska sabse gehra asar aap par pada hai. Aur aaj wapas zindagi ne aapko laake ussi adhure modh par khada kar diya hai. Mujhe pata hai aap chahte hai ki Poonam bhabhi aur Devang bhaiya khush rahe apni zindagi mein. Toh shayad Meer, unka ek dusre se alag rehna hi sahi hai. Shayad woh ek dusre ke liye banne hi nahi the. Isliye 10 saal pehle Devang bhaiya ne Poonam bhabhi ko......akela chod diya.

Sameer: Naina! 10 saal pehle, bhaiya ne bhabhi ko nahi choda tha. Rishta nahi toda tha. Unka saath chudwaya gaya tha. Unka rishta toda gaya tha.

Naina scrunched her eyebrows and looked at her husband. She was confused hearing what he said. Since the day she came to know about Devang bhaiya's disappearance, she was told that the reason of him being not there, is he deliberately left the family. But now Sameer is saying something else.
