Sameer was shocked to know that they all had been hiding so much from him.....this was Naina....the very same Naina......he had been blaming her for everything...she was the reason, he'd lost his mother in front of his eyes....And his father, he doesn't know......His reverie was broken hearing Nanu's voice....

Nanu: Meri aankhon k saamne hi meri beti ne dam tod dia....aur mai much nii kr paya....

Saying this Nanu started sobbing...and Sameer could never see that......He barged into the room with furious expressions and all looked at him stunned.....He was the last person they wanted to reveal the truth to.....

After completing his work, he went out to look for Naina....he could never keep himself away from her. He never realized as to when he fell so hard in love with this girl.....Ever since that incident, he had never looked at any girl...Well actually he didn't fall for anyone.....Though he was always surrounded by girls and had many one night things...but never even in his wildest dreams had he thought that he'd fall for a simple and polite girl.....Though she was definitely beautiful, but they were totally opposites....She was always quiet, very sensitive and also very emotional....And he...well, his innocence, his sensitivity, his emotions died the very day...when he had seen his mother die in front of his own eyes......

Shrugging his thoughts away, he went down to the living room, thinking that everyone might be there...but to his dismay, it was all quiet and empty...he asked one of the servants and found that all are in his room....He got uncomfortable thinking that even Preeti is there....He cannot trust anyone easily..And that wasn't his fault....was it?

 He was about to go and knock the door...when he stopped hearing Naina's voice....

Naina: Nana jii..in sb ka Sameer se kya lena dena h? Hum unse kyu sb chhupa re hain?

Nanu again wore his specs and looked at the girls.....

Nanu: Kyunki vo nafrat krta h.....Maharaj se...Maharani se....Rajmata se....aur....aur tumse......

Sameer: (thinking) Nanu ne aisa kyu kaha? Mai Naina se to pyaar krta hu...aur Nanu ne unka naam Naina k saath kyu lia? Kya ye..nahi nahi..aise nii ho skate...Ye vo Naina nii ho skti? Ye Meri Naina h...aur vo....vo bhi to....

Sameer's reverie was broken by Nanu's voice......

Naina: Mujhse? Par kyu Nanu? Aapne hi to kaha tha naa...ki Sam...Sameer ne hi mera naam....fir kyu?

Nanu: Use lgta h ki uske parivaar k ant ki wajah tum ho.....aaj b mujhe vo din achhe se yaad h.......jis din sb kuchh badal gaya...hum sb ki zindagi badal gyi......

Sameer was stunned hearing this...how...how can this be possible....This was the same Naina...his little rajkumari.....or the sole reason behind all his miseries.....all his tears which he shed as a thirteen year old boy.....all his and Rohan's craving for parents for their entire childhood....He didn't hear anything after that....well he did...but he was so lost, living the dreadful memories that he couldn't concentrate on anything else.....But what Nanu told next shocked him......Naina's father...had tried to kill her...He was the one who had kidnapped her......

Though he knew about his father not being a culprit, but Nanu had never exactly mentioned about who was the actual culprit...that who had actually kidnapped her. Well, technically they had never spoken about it openly.....Nanu had known how everything had haunted him for years, and he knew how Nanu had been going to a lot of trips and never mentioning as to where he went.....Seems like they had many secrets within the family itself. Even Rohan was not known to the fact that Sameer was not just an ordinary businessman, he was a Mafia.....

Sameer came out of his thoughts when he heard Nanu crying, and moved inside the room....He was really mad at everyone....Nanu....Swati...He didn't knew Preeti much to be mad at her....and also Naina......He crossed her and went straight to Nanu, who was standing next to her......He didn't even look at Naina for once......

As for Naina, she herself was shocked hearing everything..but her heart broke hearing that the boy who had always guarded her...took care of her, had lost his family, his parents just because of her father....well indirectly it was also coz of her....if she wouldn't have been the heir, and mostly a girl...nothing of this sort would've happened....Well, in that case, if she wasn't even born.....her father wouldn't have stooped so low maybe.....But this was all in the past...and she knew it will affect her future as well...if she had any after all this revelation.....She came out of her thoughts, hearing Sameer's chocked voice.....

Sameer: Nanu....aap...aapne....

Nanu: Beta....mai tujhe nii bata paya.....Bahot kuchh h Sameer jo tu nahi jaanta...aur shayad us waqt smjh b nii pata....tera gussa jaanta hu Mai...aur vo jaayaz b h.....lekin beta, aisa bahot kuchh tha jo tu naa us waqt smjhta...aur naa mai tujhe smjha pata......

Sameer: To ab smjha dijiye....mai b jaanna chahta hu...ki aakhir jinki wajah se meri poori family ek din Mei khatam ho gym...jinki wajah se mai aur mera bhai ek din Mei hi anaath ho gye...aap aaj b unka side kyu le re hain?

He said all this looking at Naina with anger...be it anything, her family was responsible for the destruction of his family...and he can't forgive her or them easily......And Naina...she felt really hurt...his words were piercing her heart....seems like all the love his eyes held, just a few hours back was long gone......But she didn't say anything, and just looked down...maybe to hide the pain she felt because of his words.......And she was also confused as to why his words are hurting her so much...this marriage for forced on her...and it's not like she loved him or something....

Nanu: Hmm...ab chhupaane ka koi fayda b nii h....

And Nanu went on to tell him about Naina....about Preeti....and Sameer was shocked to know the truth of Preeti being Naina's sister and disowned right after her birth, would be understatement.....He would be lying if he said that, he didn't feel bad for that poor girl......and then Nanu went on to tell him about Vivek and Brij's deeds......Well he even got angry knowing that his father was equally responsible...though he didn't kill Preeti, but that wouldn't make him any less of a culprit.....to both the sisters and their mother....and Vivek was ready to bring back Naina, just because of his own son.....

By this time, even Mundit had joined them and sat on the floor in front of Nanu.......

Nanu: Uske baad mai Sameer aur Rohan ko leke wahan se nikal gaya...bhaagte bhaagte raaste mei mujhe do bacche mile...vo aur koi nii ye mere rahu ketu the.....in chaaron bachchon ko maine Jaise taise chhupaya....Sameer ka bukhaar aur badh gaya tha, isiliye mai Mundit aur Rohan ko chhod k gaya iska dhyaan rakhne......aur fir mai jaake unse mila...

Flashback...

After leaving the boys in a safe place with one of the other guards in the palace, who also tended to be Nanu's confidante.....Nanu went to meet Rajmata.....He went and told her everything except for about Preeti....It was obvious the she was shocked.....She could never even imagine that her own son would stoop so low......

Rajmata: Ye...sb...Brij?

Nanu: Jii haan....Apni Vishakha ko to kho chuka hu....lekin aapko aagah krna chahta tha...yahan se jaane se pehle....

Rajmata: Kya Vishakha? 

Nanu: Haan...yahan k logon ko lgta h ki rajkumari ko Vivek ne agwa kia h...aur isiliye unhone....

His voice chocked and he couldn't say anything...And Rajmata closed her eyes and let the tears flow out freely...her son was responsible for the death of an innocent.....they both were standing at their respective places.....and didn't say a word for a couple of minutes....But Mrinalini Devi was determined to punish her son for all his sins.....

Rajmata: Hum abhi jaake Brij se baat krte hain....

She was about to go, when Jai Prakash stopped her...

Nanu: Nii...abhi aap maharaj se kuch mt kahiye....

Rajmata: Lekin kyu?

Nanu: Rajkumari abhi b unke hi paas hain...kahin vo unhe koi.....

Rajmata couldn't believe that her son would stoop any lower and might get his own daughter killed.....but Nanu knew that if he was ready to get his new born killed...he could even harm Naina in the most dangerous ways possible.....But he didn't mention anything about Preeti knowing that Anand and Bela could possibly be the best parents for her......and she wouldn't have to face all that her sister is facing....and he was relieved knowing that she's safe....away from all this....

Flashback ends...

Nanu: Us din maine kisi tarah unhe smjha lia kyunki Naina ki jaan ko khatra tha, aur mai Preeti k baare Mei unhe batana nii chahta tha........Mai janta tha ki Preeti Bela aur Anand k saath khush b h, aur surakshit b.....Uske baad Rajmata ne meri madat ki....Sameer, Rohan aur Munna Pandit ko in sbse dur le jaane mei....vo hamesha in bachchon par nazar rakhti.....Vivek ka kuch pata nii chala...mai jb kuchh waqt baad police station gaya, to unhone kaha ki Vivek bhaag gaya......lekin mai jaanta tha...ye sb b maharaj ne hi kia h.....

They all sat in utter silence.....Sameer had always been loved by Komal and Rajmata, but since that incident he had nourished up a hatred in his heart for them as well......But he never knew that she had looked out for him always....

Nanu: Sameer k andar nafrat badhti dekh maine Rohan ko London bhejne ka soch lia.....aur isme b Rajmata ne hi meri madad ki....aur mai rajkumari ko dhoondhne mei laga raha.....kitne kitne din bahar rehta...jahan se koi suraag milta....mai wahan jata...lekin har baar nirasha hi haath lagi...aur in sb k beech kb mere bhole bhaale Sameer ne underworld join kr lia...mujhe pata hi nii chala.....lekin uske baad b maine ise nii roka...kyunki mai jaanta tha ki bhale hi sb ki glti naa ho...lekin maharaj ko saza dene k liye..mere Sameer ko unse b zada takatwar hona hoga........isiliye maine kabhi ise nii roka.......

Swati: Nanu..lekin aapko Naina kahan mili?

Nanu: Poore paanch saal din raat ek krne k baad, mujhe pata chala ki Naina yahan Mumbai mei h....use chhupa k rakha tha...aur is baar maine kisi ko kuchh nii kaha...aur police k saath mil kr Naina ko bachaya....is bachchi ki haalat bahot hi kharab thi.....jb mujhe Naina mili, vo behosh thi....ek masoom si bachchi jise humne ek phool ki tarah rakha tha....uski haalat un logon ne kya hi kr di thi.....poore chehre p aur jagah jagah chot k nishaan.....aur upar se Naina ka darr.....hum soch b nii skte ki kaise is bachchi ne 5 saal ye sb bardasht kia......

Saying this, Nanu patted her head lovingly...and Naina let her tears flow easily......she still had dreams of how they treated her...they used to beat her whenever she would cry and ask for her mother...they would keep her tied up all the while....she had faced many injuries.....all these haunted her even today.......Everyone saw her empathetically....and had their eyes filled with tears......And Sameer fisted his hands in anger.....but didn't say anything or looked up at Naina......But he just wanted to go and kill those bastards who had hurt his Naina.....He loved her even if he was denying it....but he couldn't deny the truth for long.....His reverie broke hearing Nanu's voice....

Nanu: Naina ko hum hospital leke gye.....lekin...vo...vo coma mei chali gyi.....aur poore 8 mahine coma Mei hi thi aur uske baad b ise poori tarah theek hone Mei 1 saal lg gaya......uska ilaaj yahan Mumbai mei hi chal raa tha.....isiliye ye sb yahin shift ho gye.....isiliye Naina Preeti ki class mei thi....

Munna: Lekin Nanu aapko Preeti kb aur kahan mili? Ye to aapne kabhi bataya hi nii....

Sameer was again shocked...did Munna just say that Nanu never mentioned when did he meet Preeti...Does that mean he knew about all this? Sameer turned and looked at Munna with a shocked face, and Munna bit his lips in mortification.....realizing what he'd said in flow of moment.....

Nanu: Devgarh chhodne k baad mai hamesha Anand aur Bela k contact Mei raha......lekin mila nii....mai us din gaya...jis din..Anand aur Bela.....

And Preeti remembered the dreadful day when she'd lost her parents.....and sobbed silently...Naina held her hands to give her some solace....even Sameer kept a hand on hers and nodded in no......He can very well understand that how it felt to loose your parents at an early age.....But in all this he didn't see that he had placed his hand on Naina's....they both turned towards each other with a jerk and had a brief eye lock...and Sameer removed his hands...and a sudden loneliness engulfed Naina...loosing the warmth...which she felt from Sameer's touch......

Nanu: Uske baad Preeti ko maine uski school k hostel Mei daal dia....mai uski baare Mei har khabar rakhta...lekin usse kabhi mila nii.....Mujhe to ye b nii pata tha ki Naina Preeti ek saath school Mei h...aur dost h......Vo to ek baar  maine jb Naina k baare mei poochha tb Rajmata ne mujhe Preeti k baare mei bataya...aur kaise Naina, Preeti k saath reh k fir se khush rehne lagi h....tb maine socha ki mai unhe sb bata du...aur maine unhe bata b dia.......unhe yakeen hi nii hua...fir maine unhe poori baat batayi....aur ye b ki maine unse sach ko kyu chhupaya itne saal tk.....uske baad humne maharani ko sach bata dia....aur ek din Preeti ne unki baatein sun li..... 

Pandit: To fir Nanu...aapne aur Rajmata ne abhi b unhe saza kyu nii di? 

Nanu: Abhi b hum unke khilaaf saboot ikaththe kr hi re the...ki Naina ka 21st b'day aa gaya.....aur fir Preeti ne Sunaina ki baat sun li...aur humein pata chala ki vo b apne pita ki hi tarah h.....vo b Naina ko agwa krwana chahti h.....aur usi waqt pata chala ki Sameer kisi ldki ko dhoondh raa h.....aur fir smjh aaya ki vo Naina hi h.....aur fir humne Preeti, Munna aur Pandit k dimaag mei ye idea dala jisse ye Sameer ko Naina ka pata bata de....aur mai Sameer ko bahot achhe se jaanta hu.....jaanta tha ki Naina ka pata chalte hi ye use yahan le aayega......aur isse zada surakshit jagah koi ho hi nii skti thi Naina k liye.....

Nanu revealed his doing with a knowing smile....and all others gaped at him with open mouth......Mundit and Preeti had been thinking all this while, that it was their idea....but it was all done by Nanu....

Preemundit: Nanu aap?

Nanu: Hahahahhaha haan.....tumhaare is prem yuddh ka karta dharta mai hi hu......

Saying this Nanu burst into laughter and all gaped at him open mouthed......
