Naina kept hugging Swati and cried her heart out.....and Swati too kept sitting by Naina for her support.....once Naina was a bit relaxed......Swati thought of feeding her something and giving her afternoon dose of the medicines......she went out to get something healthy for Naina...once she was able to convince Naina...that she would be back in just 10 minutes.....she left for the kitchen....

On the other hand, Sameer had locked himself in the room, where he had kept all the hand made sketches and paintings of Naina......he wanted to capture her innocence in those pictures.....and had spent innumerable sleepless nights there, painting her face.....he was really angry on himself.....how could he? He loved her and now he's been hurting her again and again......Swati's words were ringing in his ears....

Swati: Apne is dost se poochho....Pata nii khud ko kya smjhta h....are humne iska har situation mei saath dia....Lekin isme nii...bechaari Naina.....mtlb Ek taraf ye bolta h ki ye usse pyaar krta h....aur doosri taraf use Itni takleef....itni chot pahauncha raa h.....mujhe to lgta h ye pyaar nii bs infatuation h Sameer ka...yaa fir koi nayi zidd......

Swati: Tum teeno ho hi us layak....aur mai Naina k pair ki nii...uski wrist ki baat krri hu....vo to tumne batana zaroori nii smjha....are haan...pata hoga to bataoge naa...bas us bechaari ko yahan utha k le aaye? Ab uski jaan hi le loge kya?

Swati: (shouting) Shut up Sameer...tumne sunna seekha hi nii h kya? Usne koi jaan waan dene ki koshish nii ki h....ye chot use tumne di h....isiliye gussa ho rii thi mai tumpe....tumhe apne gusse k aage kuchh smjh nii aati h kya?

He knew that she wouldn't accept him so easily.....but this wasn't the way to treat her.....he wanted to giver her the life of a queen......and anyone who would dare to hurt his queen......even if it's him....deserves to be punished.......and he knew exactly how......

Here, Naina was sitting, closing her eyes and thinking about her life till now.....she still had those horrible nightmares.....she still remembered, how she had to stay away from her family.....for whole of six years.....away from her mother....her whole family....she had endured so much of pain and torture at the mere age of 5 years.....she couldn't even imagine, if her Dadi Saa wouldn't have found her......what those people would have done to her....she didn't knew even if she would be alive today or not....all those years still gave her goosebumps.......

And here in the room....Sameer had turned into a total maniac.....he threw everything made of glass on the floor...and kept on talking to her portraits.....

Sameer: Tumhe Maine bahot takleef di h naa.....aur log kehte hain naa ki kisi ki chot ka ehsaas kisi aur ko nii hota.....yahan chot tumhe lagi to kya hua? Mai b us dard ka ehsaas krunga......mai bhale kisi k dard ko mehsoos naa kru....aur mai kabhi kisi ko tumhe dard nii pahaunchane de skta....kisi ko b nii.....

Saying this, he picked up a big piece of glass and cut the nerves of his wrist......and started walking on the glass pieces lying on the floor, barefoot.....his feet have started to bleed.....But he kept on walking.....his face had turned totally red coz of the pain.....but he didn't let even one tear drop come out of his eyes......he kept on walking on the glass pieces with a painful smile on his face.....

Munna and Pandit too had followed him....but before they could enter inside, Sameer had closed the door.....they kept on banging the door....but of no use.....Just then they heard voices of breaking of objects and Mundit became more tensed.....they started banging the door harder....but he didn't open the door and suddenly there was no more sound of breaking of stuffs....and in case of Sameer....the silence was more terrifying than his anger......

Mundit looked at each other and then Munna ran towards Naina's room....since, now only she can make him open the door.....whereas Pandit stayed back and tried banging on the door....When Munna entered inside, he saw Naina lying down on the bed with her eyes half closed....Swati was not around.....he hurriedly went to Naina and called her name in an urgency....

Munna: Naina.....Naina......

She woke up with a jerk and saw Munna's tensed face.....

Naina: Kya hua? aap itne pareshaan kyu lg re hain?

Munna: Naina....Sameer......vo....usne.....

He was dead worried for his friend....and hearing Sameer's name...Naina stood up with a jerk and again winced in pain because of the sprain on her foot......Munna held her from the shoulders to give her support......but she wasn't worried about her pain.....something in her heart was probing her to run to him......even she didn't know why she was feeling that way.....or why does she even care as he had been giving her pain since yesterday and also took her away from her family.....but she kept all these thoughts for later.......

Naina: Sam....vo...vo..kahan hain?

Munna: Chalo mai le chalta hu....lekin tumhara sprain....

Naina: Vo Sb baad mei....aap...aap please mujhe unke paas leke chaliye naa......

Saying this she again stood up, but very next moment closed her eyes because of the pain......but she was adamant and hurriedly left out....Munna followed her and kept guiding her towards the room where Sameer had locked himself.....

When she reached there, she found Pandit already standing outside and banging the door again and again......and he looked really pale and tired.....but still more than anything he looked worried.......Naina rushed towards his direction...

Naina: Kkkkkkk...Kya hua? Kahan hain vo?

Pandit: Andar h Bhabhi...darwaza hi nii khol raa....Pehle kaanch todne ki awaazein aa rii thi...ab Pata nii kya krra h.....

Now even Naina was worried after hearing about the entire sequence....

Naina: Aa..aap..kn...knock...knock kijiye naa.....

Pandit: Tbse wahi krra hu...but ye darwaza hi nii khol raa h.....Bhabhi...aap...aap bolo...vo pakka khol dega.....

Naina: Mmm..mai?

Pandit nodded....and Naina gulped and started knocking....But still there was no sound.....by then Swati had also reached there along with Munna....she saw him when she was coming back with the tray of food for Naina.....and saw Naina running somewhere...and Munna was following her....she stopped Munna and asked him and got to know that Sameer had locked himself and now they feel that only Naina can help them......

Naina: Pl...please....dar...darwaza kholiye naa....please......

Sameer was still walking on those glass pieces in the dead silence of the room...he had heard Mundit calling him and banging the door....but he didn't open the door....he didn't wanted to talk with anyone....it was as if...as if...he was just passionate about punishing himself......but just then a sweet and a bit stressed voice fell into his ears.....it was Naina's.....his Naina....

She was here.....and was calling out his name....he was lost in her voice.....when, her voice fell in his ears....yet again.....

Naina: Please...Dekhiye....aa...aap mujhpe gussa h naa....to mujhe daant lijiye....lekin yahan Sb bahot pareshaan hain aapke liye....please darwaza kholiye....please.....

Hearing her plea, he remembered that she had a sprain in her leg...and was also really weak because of her fever and he cannot let her suffer...not anymore....he sighed and then he slowly moved towards the door...and opened it......there stood his Naina...along with stressed Mundit and Swati.......they all looked really worried.....even she did....it felt like as if she doesn't hate him...or does she? If she did....then why was she even here? Then what is it? Even she looked really worried for him.....her eyes were filled with tears.....and he was lost in them....

Just when Sameer opened the door, all were shocked seeing his condition.....his disheveled hair....blood oozing out of his wrists....and his feet.....still pierced with glass pieces and blood flowing out of them.....they all looked behind him and found glass pieces all over the floor.....with blood marks....Naina gasped loudly and to stop the shouting, she closed her mouth with her palms......but Sameer looked unfazed......Mundit ran to him....

Munna: Ye kya haal bana lia h tune?

Pandit: Pagal wagal to nii ho gaya naa? Ye kya kia h tune?

Sameer: Maine apni Naina ko....apni jaan ko takleef di thi.....Maine kaha tha naa ki jo b Naina ko takleef dega....to use saza milegi...chahe vo koi b ho....mai khud b kyu naa hou.....

All kept looking at him open mouthed......whereas Naina didn't know how to react......this guy was just like a puzzle....he was something really different.....she couldn't understand him.....it was not just difficult, but impossible to understand him.....one side he hurts her....and then he cannot forgive anyone who'd hurt her....not even himself....did he really love her so much? If yes, then why? Can she trust him? And if yes, then why should she trust him?

Many questions...and no answers to it......she just simply shrugged these questions away for the time being and moved towards him....she held his bleeding hands, with her trembling ones....and observed his hands.....it had cut marks, like someone had cut them with something sharp....of course the glass.....she bent down and touched his feet which were still bleeding and still had glass pieces penetrated on his feet....she pulled out a small one at the thumb of his feet.....he didn't even wince for once, not even blink.....she was about to prick out another one...but he held her from his shoulders and pulled her up and moved his head in negation......

He looked at her feet and again her feet was swollen.....and he got angry on her....why on earth can't she take care of herself......why is she so stubborn.....he looked at her coldly.....

Sameer: Tumhara dimaag kharab h kya? Apna dhyaan nii rakh skti? Tbse yahan khadi ho....dekho firse swelling aa gyi......

Naina shivered at his cold tone again.....this guy was really difficult.....he looked her and here it goes....he's scared her again.......he took a deep breadth and then picked her up in a bridal way...well that she was...a bride...his bride.....she squirmed a little.....but didn't say anything.......they all looked at both of them with tears of happiness.....

Sameer moved towards their room and made her lie down on the bed....meanwhile Munna had called the Dr and they too moved towards their room.....Swati got the first aid kit and was going towards them...when Sameer took the first aid kit from her hand.....and gently took Naina's hand in his and slowly removed the glass pieces and she winced a bit.....and because of taking out the glasses, again blood started to come out......

He took some dettol in a cotton ball and applied on the wounds....she hissed in pain....and he blew some air on it to sooth the burning sensation......after that he applied antiseptic cream on it and it gave her a cooling sensation immediately......later he put a thin layer of white cotton band aid and dressed her wounds.....he did the same with the other hand.....he also applied balm on her sprained leg...and massaged it gently to not give anymore pain to her.....

Once done, he was about to keep the first aid kit on the bedside table, but Naina took it from his hands....he looked at her questioningly....but without meeting his gaze....she took his hands in hers and saw the cut marks on his wrists.....they were bigger and deeper as compared to hers.......especially the ones on his right hand.....looks like he'll need stitches.....but she has to at least give him a basic first aid......she did the dressing of his left hand....till then the Dr was there.......he examined his right hand......

Dr: Aaa....aap....aap sb bahar jaiye....inke haath p stitches lagane pdenge.....

Mundit nodded and started to move out along with Swati.....Naina too was about to get up, but he held her hand and gestured her to sit down.....and said in a stern voice.....

Sameer: Naina kahin nii jayegi.....

Dr nodded with fear....and started his work....he was about to give him a local anesthesia.....but he declined.....

Sameer: Just do it.....I don't need anesthesia....aise hi stitches laga do.....

Naina looked at him shocked....how will he bear so much of pain.....but he stood up from the bed and sat on a chair right in front of Naina....and then he asked the Dr to sit in the stool placed next to his chair...the Dr started hi work and Sameer kept looking into Naina's eyes and held her hand with his left one.....he didn't even blink for once......

It seemed like it didn't hurt him at all....Naina was surprised to see him like this.....he does love her a lot.....he even forgot his pain by just looking into her eyes.....how can he do this? Or maybe that's what true love is about.....she have never experienced it....or maybe she did...once....but was really young back then...to even understand that it was love or something else....she doesn't even remember his face clearly....but there was something about him.....and now there was something about Sameer's eyes....she always loose herself in them....and then she had some blur visuals of her past.....not everything was clearly remembered by her...but some blur memories...broken conversations...she still remembered.....

Boy: Aap bhaagiye mt....lag jayegi....

Manna: Nii lagegi....tum pakdo humein...

Boy: Are...ruko.....

Just then, he got hold of her....and swirled her around...and Naina giggled wholeheartedly......and he too laughed loudly.......Once he found her breathless....He put her down....

Naina: Utara kyu humein? Kitna maza aa laa thaa humein......

Boy: Aap thak gyi isiliye...achha chaliye ab rani maa saa bula rii Hain aapko....

Naina: Haan...lekin tum kahin mt jana....

Boy: Kabhi nii jaunga aapko chhod k...I promise....

Naina smiled showing her all milk teeth.....and then next moment ran to see her mother..and that boy kept looking at her retreating figure with a wide smile......

Naina came out of her thoughts.....hearing the Dr's voice.....

Dr: Umm Maine dressing kr di h....aur aapke dono pair k kaanch nikal diye hain aur dressing kr di h...ghaav genre hain...to be careful sir.....

Saneer was intently looking at Naina and just hummed to the Dr without even listening to whatever he's saying.....and the Dr left from their hurriedly.....and before going out of the house, he gave the prescription to Pandit.....

Sameer was looking at Naina, the whole time the Dr was doing his dressing....he had seen her lost somewhere.....it seemed she was remembering something....something nice....something good...she had a hint of smile on her lips.....he didn't know what...he couldn't put a finger on something specific...but something was definitely there.....was she remembering someone? Her boyfriend? No..no this wasn't possible.....she couldn't have anyone in her life....but what if she did? And then what if he was the reason that Naina is not ready to accept him....he will kill that guy...whoever it was.....but even Mundit had confirmed after getting her information that she had no one in her life....though they didn't tell much about her....

Once the Dr left...Sameer too stood up with a jerk...and again his cold expressions were back...just a moment ago..he was looking into her eyes and she found them full of warmth for her just for a moment...and now he's back to his normal self.....Something had again triggered his anger...but she didn't know what.....

He had just reached the door....when she spoke in a low voice....

Naina: Thank you.....

He turned towards her....still cold...and she became a bit nervous....but still continued in a low voice....

Naina: Aaj jaise aapne humara dhyaan rakha only my mom did it till date.....aaj jaise aapne rakha...unki yaad aa gyi....

Ohh so she was missing her mom....and he again misunderstood her...thank god he didn't say anything to her....or scold her....his reverie was broken by her.....

Naina: Ummm....vo....mujhe.....aapse....

Sameer: Hmm....bolo....no need to be scared...

Naina: Vo..aap Swati ko....mujhe ye lehenga......

Sameer: Ohh...yeah I should've realized it earlier....Mai Swati ko bhejta hu....aur...I'll call for some nice dresses for you......

Naina: Thank you.....

Sameer went outside.....and told Swati to help Naina change and also feed her something.....and give her medicines......she ran towards Naina's room and Mundit stood there contemplating about a blunder Pandit has just created.......

Swati went to Naina's room and a few servants came with number of dresses amd Swati picked up a simple royal blue suit for her with contrasting golden dupatta and some embroidery near the neck.....she helped Naina to the restroom and then Naina washed her face, freshened up avoiding

the bandage getting wet and came outside wearing the dress.....Swati was glad seeing that Naina hadn't removed her sindoor and mangalsutra.....

Naina's outfit....

Once done Swati tried feeding Naina some khichdi, which she got especially prepared for Naina....but she wasn't ready to eat at all.....she kept pleading Naina to eat something....but she kept denying....saying she wasn't hungry at all......Swati was tired and was about to go out call Sameer....so that he can feed her...as only he was there who can control her...even if it was with his anger...still food and medicine was more important now......

Just then the door flung open and they heard a really soft and emotional voice.....

Girl: Naina....

Naina and Swati turned towards the door and Naina was shocked to see the person...only one word escaped her mouth.....like a mere whisper....

Naina: Preeettiiiiii.....
