Naina is sweating profusely, and her hands are shivering, even after drinking two glasses of water. 'What a horrible dream it was! What if it comes true? No it can't be, but if it happens?' She thinks and checks the time, which panics her more. 'Par subah ka sapna sach hota hai. No, this one will not. Sameer ji, himself told me it will not.'

'Ma'am, I tell you I have seen this happening many times. Aapko sir ko lightly nahi lena chahiye. I tell you ma'am, don't trust sir this much. Kya pata ek din aapke saath bhi aisa huva toh? I mean, what if he brings in another woman? Like it happens in most cases. I only give right advise, but it's your choice ma'am,' Reene shares her inputs to Naina.

'Kisi ne maangi advice tumse? Sameer ji, will never do this! Understand, you better understand!' Naina fumes in anger. 'And yes, do the work for which you have been hired for. Now go out from my room, and never come back, until I call you!'

She walks out from the room, but Seema came in and consoles Naina. 'Ma'am, don't worry sir will come in any moment. Should I bring in your lunch here or you are coming down? Ma'am, aapne subah se kuch nahi khaya hai!'

'Seema, ab tumhe kya alag se bolna padega? I want peace, just give me that,' she fumes more thinking, 'Kaha hai aap Sameer ji?'

Naina is pacing in the room, as her forehead creases in worry, as Sameer has still not returned back. 'Sameer ji abhi tak nahi aaye. What if it comes true?'

She recalls Reene's words, 'No my Sameer ji can never do this. Or he can?' She shatters at the thought of him being, in another woman's arms. 'Should I go and check in hotel? No I can't, what will other's think? Mera call bhi nahi utha rahe hai, aur nahi koi message hai. What if he is with another woman right now?'

The next day, Sameer finally came home, making Naina very happy. She walks towards him, but he stops her, 'Meine ek decision liya hai!'

'Kya?' she asked although her heart knows what it can be. 'Divorce?'

'No,' he replies in cold voice. 'But this marriage is over!'

She gets confused, 'Means? I didn't got you!'

'We will not get divorced, as Saina is small and she needs both of us. Ab hum pati patni ki tarah nahi rahenge. Ab se humari zindagi alag hogi,' he replies in his cold tone.

She rushes towards her room, as her heart cries out in agony. But he is still unperturbed, as he walks out of the house.

*******

'Marriage is over, but NO DIVORCE!' Naina thinks recalling her conversation with Sameer. 'No way, I am going to agree to it. Agar woh ziddi hai toh mein, unse zyada ziddi hu! He should've known this by now!'

She then recalls his question, 'If something would've happen to Saina, when we had to swim for our lives, then you would have surely divorced me that day itself, or not?'

'Yes if Saina had been dead that day, I would've divorced him. But I know, he would've done something to get me back in his life. Now I will fight back to gain his forgiveness, and then we will be a family once more,' she brushes away her tears with a new determination.
