Sameer was up the whole night.....he didn't even blink his eyes for once......he just wanted her to wake up......he was feeling n number of emotions...all at the same time....he was helpless and restless seeing his love in this condition....he was angry on himself for hurting her and also he was angry on her......but at this point he just wanted her to be safe and wake up.....

It was early in the morning around 6 am, when she stirred in her sleep....and Sameer was immediately on his toes and moved closer to her.....and caressed her hair lovingly.....he totally forgot his anger in that moment and the love for her inside his heart overpowered every other emotion and his heart felt at peace.....and that was after a long time...though it was just a few hours, but felt like ages to him.......

Naina slowly opened her eyes....her head felt a little heavy...and she couldn't make sense of her surroundings....it wasn't her room...her home...where was she? How did she land up here in an unknown place.....she tried to remember, but her eyes were still blurry......she tried to get up, and immediately Sameer held her by shoulders and helped her to sit properly and also placed a pillow behind her back to give her a support....once she's comfortable, he picked up a glass of water and slowly took it to her mouth...and she took a few sips.....after that she just closed her eyes and rested her head at the headrest........Sameer kept looking at her.....her eyes closed....her serene face, though it turned a bit pale coz of fever....but still there was no one more beautiful than her......

He still remembered, their first encounter.....her laughter was so carefree....her eyes were shining.....her flying hair....though he got angry, when he saw that her suit was stuck to her body at certain places like a second skin.....and he saw a guy looking at her with lustful eyes.....but before he could react she got scared of him and left the place hurriedly......but later, Sameer got that guy kidnapped and brutally ripped off both of his eyes.....and even after that he wasn't satisfied.....he kept that guy captive, for next 7 days, and cut one nerve of his body everyday and later got salt rubbed on those cuts.......he wasn't give him any kind of food or water....and he was made to bleed to death.....and even then Sameer felt that he had given that guy a really easy death...he deserved more painful death...for looking, no actually staring, at his girl so shamelessly......but maybe god had showed mercy on him....Sharad was his name.....and hence he died, the day he died, before Sameer could give him more pain.....when he reached at the place, where he's kept Sharad, he found him to be dead....he tried to revive his heartbeats...but it didn't work.....he even beat his dead body.....Sameer looked no less than a maniac....later Mundit had to calm him down.......

He came back to present, when he saw Naina opening her eyes.....she found him looking at her and holding her hand.....she got startled and looked around.....but this definitely wasn't her room....she again looked at Sameer....and everything came back to her.... How he kidnapped her and married her forcefully.....she got scared of him and removed her hand from his hold....and started shifting backwards......her eyes were again teared up....

Naina: Aa...aa...aap...aap...pl...plea...please....mujh.....

Saneer tried to moved ahead and again tried to hold her hand...

Sameer: Shhh...Naina dekho.....mai...

Naina: Nii..please aap mujhse dur.....rahiye...please....

Sameer lost his cool again....he was awake the whole night.....and had done so much of hard work just to find her....and here she was asking him to stay away from her....how dare she....he literally pounced on her, and held her delicate wrist tightly......the bangles in her wrist broke, piercing the small pieces of glass in her tender hands.....blood oozed out.....she cried in pain....but his eyes were burning in anger.....

Sameer: You dare say that ever again....mai kuchh b tolerate kr skta hu....lekin sapne mei b mujhe khud se dur bhejne ka yaa fir mujhse dur jaane ka sochna b mt.......smjhi tum.....

She shivered at his rude and loud tone....and her eyes did not listen to his threats and kept shedding tears......and that was another thing which he couldn't tolerate....her tears....

Sameer: (shouting) Why the hell are you crying now? Tumhara pati yahan tumhaare saamne zinda aur sahi salamat baitha h to tumhe achha nii lg raa kya? Haan? Chahti kya ho tum? Aur ye glti se b mt kehna ki tumhe yahan se aur mujhse dur jana h....smjhi tum?

She didn't say anything and still continued crying when he again shouted on her.....

Sameer: Bolo....yaa fir tum ye chahti ho ki tumhara pati marr hi jaaye Haan? Yahi chahti ho naa? And why not, you definitely want this so that you'll free from here....speak up damn it.....

Naina didn't know why, but hearing about his death, did send a fear down her heart and she vigorously moved her head in a negation.....and Sameer was flaring his nostril like an angry and raged bull.....but seeing her expressions and fear on her face when he talked about his death....did a great deal to calm his anger down......he closed his eyes for a minute or two and took deep breadths to calm down his anger.....and till then Mundit have also reached there hearing him scream again and were worried for poor Naina......he opened his eyes when he heard a knock on the door......he got up and walked towards the door....he saw them and then allowed them in...

Mundit came and saw Naina's eyes filled with fresh tears and felt bad for her....but there was no other way to save her and even though Sameer's anger was an issue...still they never doubted his love for her....at least for now they were sure of it.....they didn't know what to say....Sameer was still standing next to the bed and Mundit were looking at both of them.....shifting their eyes between two people who were definitely meant to be together since always....but were unaware of the fact....Munna was the first to break the awkward silence....

Munna: Ahem ahem....umm...Nai....mera mtlb h Bhabhi I hope you are feeling better now.....

Naina just kept staring at him and then Pandit also tried to initiate a conversation.....

Pandit: Haan Bhabhi...aapko kuchh b chahiye ho to aapke dono devar h yahan...aapko kisi se b darne ki zaroorat nii h.....

He said the last line moving a bit closer to her and eyeing Sameer....even though not meant for him to hear, he heard the same and gave deathly glares to Pandit....and Pandit swallowed hard in fear......and seeing his scared expressions, Naina had a hint of smile on her face......and Mundit too smiled seeing this.....

She could see the purity and gentleness in both their eyes and feel a warmth in their demeanour.....which she didn't feel in Sameer....and even though how much ever she tried, she cannot run from the fact that she was married to that man....and today or either tomorrow she would definitely have to accept him...willingly or unwillingly......

Munna: Bhabhi mai Munna aapka devar aur aaj se aapka bhai b.....

Pandit: Aur mai Pandit......aapka doosra devar cum bhai.....

Naina never had a brother....or in fact a real sibling bond...though Sunaina was her younger sister, she never shared a good bond with her....earlier she even tried to mend her relationship with Sunaina, but what Naina got was only defeat and humiliation....hence she backed off and stayed on her own.....whereas she found a soul sister in Preeti....who filled the void of a sibling in Naina's life....she had a brother...Kunwar Vijayendra Pratap Singh....but even he was a puppet to Sunaina and both of them were a team...he was her Bua's son....but not a brother she needed and wished for......but today she had two brothers.....though it was too soon to believe or trust them....still she felt sincerity in their words and eyes.....

She just nodded at them with a small smile...and Sameer kept looking at them....without saying a word.......

Munna: Chal bhai ponga...apan chalte hain....Bhabhi ko rest krne dete Hain....

Pandit: Haan chhenu chal...

Before leaving, Munna turned towards Sameer...

Munna: Bhai tu yahi reh bhabhi k paas...hum naashta bhejte hain.....aur (in Sameer's ears) Please gussa control kr....bhagwaan k liye...Bhabhi abhi b theek nii h...aisa naa ho tu apne gusse mei use paa k b kho de....

Patting his shoulder, Mundit left....and even the mere thought of her going away from him made him loose all his patience......still he knew Munna was right.....taking a deep breadth he again sat down on the bed and tried to hold Naina's hand...but she moved back out of fear...

Sameer: (softly) Daro mt....nii daantunga....

She could see the truth and softness in his eyes for the first time ever....even when she saw him for the first time in the garden, she was lost in his deep orbs, but suddenly his eyes were filled with anger, which scared her and she ran away...but today he looked calm....though no expressions...still better than being angry.....So she softly nodded her head and when he again tried to hold her hand, she didn't move back....

She never had any kind of association with any guy....as she never went to school or college...and even if she got touched by someone accidentally...she would feel disgusted and scared....but with him...she didn't feel disgusted...the touch felt familiar....but didn't know why.....

They both kept sitting in silence.....when she gathering some courage asked him....

Naina: Aa...aap.....aap kon...kon...Hain?

Though it wasn't more than a whisper, still he could hear her....her soft voice....though a bit tired coz of fever and fatigue....but still like a soulful music to his ears.....

Before he could answer her, their moment was disturbed by a knock and he knew it might be the servants with breakfast...he was about to thrash them and give them a piece of his mind...but stopped himself and calmed down remembering Munna's words...he let them in and after placing the dishes and everything...the servants left....he served a plate and brought the first morsel to her mouth....she kept staring at his hands and then his face....she was still scared of him.....

Sameer: Kha lo..Abhi tumhe bukhaar ki dawai b deni h...mai Tum p kitna b gussa kr lu par tumhe takleef mei kabhi nii dekh skta.....to....ye lo...

Saying this he moved his hand closer to her mouth and she again had tears...but these were of gratefulness .....none except for her mother, grandmother and Preeti had shown such concern towards her....not even her own father......she just opened her mouth and ate the food....and Sameer was elated beyond any measures....he kept feeding her and once she was done, he made her take her medicines with fresh juice.....and asked her to lie down as she still needed a lot of rest to recover soon.....

Obeying him, she lied down and he kept caressing her head.....she was still afraid of him...but didn't utter a word, thinking that he might again get angry....hence she tried to close her eyes...but his throaty voice forced her to open her eyes again....

Sameer: Mai Sameer hu...Sameer Maheshwari....Maheshwari industries ka maalik aur....

Naina: Aur?

Sameer: Underworld King.....aur ab tumhara pati b....

Shock would be an understatement....Naina couldn't believe her ears....she was forcefully married to an underworld don.....she couldn't believe her ears....hence she decided to reconfirm.....

Naina: Aaaa....aappp.....jhooothhhh.....bo....Bol.....bol re hain naa?

Though it took a great amount of courage for her to say these words....but still her voice couldn't find a way and it wasn't more than a whisper......

Sameer: Mai jhooth kyu bolunga? Bhool gyi kya kl hi to humaari shaadi hui h.....

Naina: Nii...vo nii.....vo....vo....

Sameer: To fir kya vo?

Naina: D....ddd...do.....don.....

Sameer: Vo b sach hi h...

And Naina was again terrified....al the courage she had gathered to accept him as her husband or at least think about it....or to face him...came crashing down in a moment......like he was a real...real underworld don.....firstly she was confused but his acceptance again had cleared every cloud of doubt.....he was still caressing her head, but now it sent fear through every cell of her body.......how will she stay with a man like him? And what about her family? Oh no....she completely forgot about them....they must be really worried of her whereabouts......no no no...she can't stay here...she has to leave.....

Sameer was looking at her face......it was showing a sign of acceptance some moments ago, even though a little....but now again the dread and fear was back....and she had something definitely going on in her mind.....and he knew what it was.....again she was planning of going away from him....and he would definitely not let that happen....He again turned his soft demeanour to his regular cold and angry ones and held her wrist in his hands very harshly......oblivious to the blood that was oozing out some moments ago and have now dried up a bit...

Sameer: Mai chahe jo b hu....tum bs itna yaad rakhna I'm your husband and won't let you go away from me at any cost...do you get it? And now you better get some rest and don't even think of going out......

Saying this he left her hand with a jerk and stormed out of the room closing the door behind him with a loud bang......and Naina flinched at his anger.....and kept thinking of everything that has happened with her in past 24 hours....her life had changed completely....and she kept thinking of how to get out of this mess....and sleep took her over in some time due to the effects of the medicine.......
