Hey guys Part 8 is here . Honestly I didnt expect that Sameer's diary part would be loved so much. I am so touched , thanx a ton to all of you 💜

Happy reading❤

The next morning Sameer was feeling better , Kabir too checked upon him in intervals but somewhere Sameer missed the warmth of her presence around . He was missing her touch whenever kabir touched his forehead to check his temperature , he craved for the warmth of her soft hands and not kabir's rough one . He got up and completed his morning chores and waited patiently for Naina. He knew she would be here anytime soon. He knew she would have surely been worried for him because the way she took care of him melted his heart a bit . Though the bitterness of the past was still ruining the recent moments but still he was grateful to her for being there for him.

Kabir was all dressed up in his jeans and shirt and asked Sameer to get ready soon.

"Yaar bhai aaj bhi thoda weakness hai ...tu proxy laga dena na " Sameer requested while kabir lowered his eyes suspisciously.

"Sameer , ab roz roz thodi na aeygi wo tera dhyan rakhne jo college bunk karra hai " he teased and sameer shyly looked down making kabir chuckle .

"Aisa...aisa kuch nahi hai wo mai to bas soch raha hoon ki thoda rest kar loon taki theek rahu aage bhi " he reasoned while kabir nodded his head and left the place not before saying

"Mere yaar yun is tarah mehboob ka intezaar na kar aur ho sake to room ka thoda sa kaam kar "

Sameer muttered "Teri toh " and kabir ran away from there hurriedly.

Sameer blushed and spoke to himself
" Ye kabir bhi na pura pagal hai "

Sameer did some work and got ready . He sat on his bed and decided to write his diary as he hadnt made any entey since the day Naina was here.

Sameer picked it up from behind the guitar and emotionally touched the guitar , wishing to play it now but then the moments with his nanu left him in tears.

Today he himself didnt knew why he was missing his nanu so much. He had a talk with him last week. Though it was a formal comversation regarding the money transfer and college fees and also some official paper work regarding his will but then he was craving for "the nanu sameer convo " that used to happen some four years ago.

"Kya nanu mujhe kabhi maaf nahi karege? mujhse kabhi baat nahi karege?

Sameer questioned himself while still staring at the guitar , his nanu's precious gift.

He sat down with his diary as now he was feeling heaviness in his heart . He wanted to pour it out through writing.

"What a relief it is to pen down your emotions in a blank paper. The paper wont judge you , the pen wont stop you , the moment remains between the three best friends - A blank page , a good pen and a heavy heart locked up with ample number of unsaid words and emotions "

Sameer wrote about his feelings for naina and his changing heart for her . He wrote about all the incidents that took place since the day she was here.

Once he was done with writing he closed the diary back and kept it behind the guitar.

He looked at the clock and saw the time , it was 1 pm already and Naina wasnt here.

It was hard for him to accept but yes he was missing her. He was worried that why is she not here like all the other mornings when she comes running to meet him .

He impatiently started walking back and forth . He paced in the whole room. When ramu kaka brought his lunch he half heartedly ate a bite but then missed how she had made him eat the food yesterday.

The food lost its taste when deprived from her hands and he immediately kept it aside and closed the tiffin.

He even peeped out to see if she is coming but no she wasnt there. As the post fever weakness was still there , he immediately closed the door and with a grumpy mood he sat on the bed.

"Aise toh jab use dekhne ka man nahi tha tab bar bar piche aari thi , kabir ko bhi apne team mein kar liya aur ab dekho...jab man hai jab yaad aari hai to aayi hi nahi..."

"Ek second ye main kya bol raha hoon , man hai yaad aari hai? ye sab kya hai ...mujhe kyu us behenji ki yaad aari hai...bas ye hi hota hai mere sath ...log thoda bauhat kya acche se reh lete hai mujhe unki adat ho jati hai fir wo mujhe chod dete hai "

Saying all this he pulled the blanket over his face and lied down when suddenly he got up with a jerk
"Kahi...kahi wo wapas to nahi chali gai?" Uski trip thi yaha wo khatam to nahi ho gai? Par bina mile thodi na jaeygi...Mere liye aayi thi na yaha ..ek bar munna pandit ko phone karke puch leta hoon ye sab "

Thinking about calling Mundit , he immediately locked the door not before setting his hair properly (Sameer's hair obsession , as we all know)

He moved towards the hostel telephone booth and asked the warden for the reciever.

He dialed munna's number and it rang a few more times.

Sameer got irritated as today he wished people to be beside him but here he was all alone yet again.

He was about to keep the reciever angrily when he heard munna's hello.

"Hello? "

"Munna mai sameer bol raha hoon kaha tha tu?"

"Arey Sameer mere bhai kaisa hai tu...mai to washroom mei tha wo aaj thode moong daal ke pakode kha liye bas usi ka asar ... " he reasoned

Sameer made weird faces on this explaination and said" accha sun toh "

"Ha ha bol na...arey wo chod pehle ye bata ki Naina devi se mila tu?" munna asked casually making sameer remember the moment of their second beautiful twirl during the reunion.

"Haaaa" he said dreamily.

Munna smiled listening to this as he got the hint now.

"Lagta hai naina ke pyar ka sar shuru ho gaya hai ..well done maniben " munna spoke to himself and then decided to tease sameer.

"Toh bhai rishta pakka?" munna asked to which sameer came back to his amgry mode.

"Kya ..kya bola tu? sameer's tone changed and munna got scared.

Just then pandit came in with a packet full of samosas.

"Dekh munni mai tere liye Raghudev ke Samosa chutney laaya hoon phone rakh aur aaja khate hai "

Pandit being the same samosa lover came happily but just then munna handed him the reciever and moved aside covering his face with one hand.

"Abey kaun hai ?" pandit answered the call and in return he got to hear sameer's hollering from the other end.

"Tum dono munna pandit ...tumne hi naina ko mera address diya na , tumne usko yaha bheja mujhse milne ...jante ho na mujhe usse kitni chid hai

(accha sameer babu nafrat se seedha chid ...bauhat jald pyar bhi aa jaeyga zuban par)

Sameer kept on shouting while pandit glared at munna who looked unapologetic .

Pandit kept the phone on speaker and when sameer was done with his rants , munna spoke
"Dekh bhai galti ka ehsaas na badi bat hoti hai..wo mafi mangna chahti hai...humse bhi mang lia usne humne maaf bhi kar diya "

"Aur to aur bhai wo tujhse bauhat zyada pya..." pandit waa about to say this when munna stomped on his foot.

"Ahh ahh ahh" pandit shouted while sameer was confused.
"isko kya hua?" he asked in a more calm voice.

"Kuch nahi bas apne pair par kulhadi maar raha hai " munna reasoned making sameer confused.

"Sameer tu ye sab chod , dekh ab bas aur do hi din hai wo yaha please ho sake to use maaf kar dena " munna said this making sameer's heart sad.

"Bas do din aur?" he mumbled to himself and then the time for call was out so Sameer had to end the call.

With a very heavy heart he moved towards the hostel when ramu kaka came running to him

"Sameer baba ye lijiye davaiya , ye cough syrup aur is flask mein kadha hai garam garam room mein jake pee lena tabiyat puri tarah theek ho jaeygi "

Ramu kaka handed him the stuffs and even before sameer could ask the details of why and whom asked him to give this , ramu kaka went away.

Inside the room , Sameer opened the packet and saw a small note inside it

"Dear Sameer ,

Sameer , ye chachiji ka bataya nuska hai , ye kadha peeke tum bauhat jaldi theek ho jaoge , janti hoon thoda kadwa hota hai par asar accha hai aur ye kuch chemists se laye medicines hai atleast 3 din ka dose zaruri hai tumhare liye . I am sorry aaj mai aa nahi paayi tumse milne , janti hoon tumhe zyada fark nahi padega mere hone na hone se but still I do care for you alot

***** Naina .

Sameer was too numb for a second on reading this. Naina is really so kind hearted. She couldnt be here but still she was present through such heartwarming gestures. He kept on staring at the word before naina which she had cutted.
"Ye kya likha tha jo cut kar diya?" he asked himself .

He saw a chocolate bar in the packet and again a note was pasted over it.

"Kadha bauhat kadwa hoga maine bhi pehli baar hi banaya hai agar na pee payo to taste ke liye ye chocolate 😊"

Sameer's heart melted in every possible way and just couldnt stop re- reading these notes from her side. How can she be so giving, so loving , she had made a mistake years back and now she is here only to redemp for her mistakes .

Was he really so important to her?

"Kitne shades hai naina tum mein , na jaane main tumhe kab samaj pauga " Sameer spoke to himself .

He drank the kadha sip by sip as it was very bitter. For once he thought to stop drinking right now but then he remembered she had made it for the very first time , he couldnt let her efforts drain away so he finished the drink and immediately ate the chocolate to improve his mouth's taste.

He took the medicines and slept peacefully again just because of her.

On the other hand , Naina was busy doing things to make sameer happy , firstly she prepared kadha in the mess canteen by requesting the owner and later brought medicines from the chemist shop near by.

Today she was eager to be with sameer as since yesterday she was calm and peaceful from within.

After reading his diary she understood that he doesnt hate her at all infact she was in his thoughts always since the times she had loved him . She just knew that he is sad and upset because he lost the precious bond because of her and now she was ready to mend that relation.

His mother though was not her priority it was only nanu with whom she wished to mend all his bonds and make the two happy by bringing them close. She knew that the blames lead to a great drift between them but now it was time to tell the truth. Nanu deserves to know that his grandson is not at fault , he never was.

Naina decided to seek mundit's help in this and did her task the whole afternoon.

In the evening , Naina didnt wish to visit anywhere but saying no to her teachers and classmates would again make them suspicious towards her so she had to go today.

Their group was visiting the nearby shopping markets so she decided to buy stuffs for her family , Sameer , nanu and mundit as now they all were a family to her.

Naina was busy in shopping while sameer was still sleeping because of the effect of the medicines.

He woke up with a jerk as kabir was calling his name loudly , excitedly.

"Kya hai yaar kabir , sone de na , college se aate hi hungama shuru " sameer irritatedly spoke as he was too sleepy at the moment.

"Arey Sameer bhai uth jaldi...tere liye good news hai sun jaldi " kabir was very excited whike saying this.

Sameer reluctantly got up as seeing his excitement he had to wake up.

"Hmm bol kya hua hai " sameer sounded least interested but the next word made him all excited.

"Nanu ...nanaji ne call kiya tere liye" kabir spoke emotionally as it was for the first time nanu had called sameer in all these years.

"Kya?" sameer couldnt believe his ears and he stood up and koved towards kabir.

"Ha sameer unka call aya tha , wo kuch alag sound karre the tune gate nahi khola islie mujhe bulaya warden ne bat karne ke liye mai college se seedha unse bat karne gaya " kabir explained while sameer was still in a haze.

"Nanu theek to hai na kya hua unko kuch kaha unhone kuch problem hui? sameer asked all this worridely while kabir shook his head in a no saying

"Bhai wo tujhse bat karna chahte hai , unhone kaha tu jab uthega tujhe bula lu kuki tere bukhar ke bare mei bata diya unko maine aur ha wo bilkul fit and fine hai dont worry " kabir informed him and patted his back happily.

"Ja sameer bat kar le unse , shayad aaj kuch accha ho jaaye " kabir spoke while sameer left in confusion.

He called his nanu and while he was dialing the numbers , his fingers were shaking.

Nanu picked up the call in the very first ring which amused sameer.

Before he could ask anything , nanu's cries reached his ears.

"Sam..meer ...be..ta " these words in a shaky broken voice when were heard by sameer , his world became bright again , his heart suddenly felt lightened as if all the weight he was caring since so many years is now lifted up by God .

"Na...nu " he too replied in a shaky voice .

They both remained quiet and only the sounds of two crying souls , a guilty grandfather and a happy grandson could be heard all over the telephone.

"Nanu ...aap theek ho na kya hua ro kyu rahe ho nanu please batao na kya hua " Sameer cried like the same 5 year old little baby whom nanu had met in the hostel.

Nanu felt a wave of guilt over his heart and all he could do was say a simple sorry .

"Sorry beta ...I am very sorry mujhe please maaf kar de " nanu cried along making sameer shocked .

Why was nanu apologising ? kyu ?

He wanted the answer so he questioned back

"Nanu aap maafi kyu maang rahe ho kya hua hai? he asked impatiently.

"Tujhpe bharosa nahi kiya tha na beta , ab uski saza to milni chiye , maafi mangna chahta hoon mai , mujhe aaj jo sach pata chala usne mujhe ander se hila ke rakh diya hai "

Nanu completed his sentence while sameer now understood what he was talking about .

"Kya sach pata chala aaj apko jo aap is tarah ?"

"Beta mai jaan gaya hoon ki paper tune nahi churaye the , tu chor nahi hai , mera sameer chor nahi tha , sab jhutha ilzam tha , galti kisi aur ki thi teri nahi , tu bekasoor hai beta , aaj bauhat khush hu main yeh jaanke , sach dil se ek bada patthar maano utar gaya ho , tujhse naraz rehke dur rehke bilkul khush nahi tha beta mai , har din har pal tujhe yaad kiya , socha aaj maaf kar du tujhe par kya pata tha maafi ka haqdaar tu nahi ab mai hu jo apne hi khun pe bharosa nahi kiya maine "

Nanu was crying in Ahemdabad but the tears were flowing through sameer's eyes here in Nainital.

"Nanu aap please sorry mat kahiye , mai bhi to nahi reh pata tha apke bina , itna yad kiya apko , apne ghar ko apne sheher ko , yaha sab paraye hai waha aap aur munna pandit mere apne ho mai nahi reh paa raha tha aplog ke bina , apne aap ko patthar banake roz ek jung ladhne nikalta tha par meri sabse badi jung mere apno se thi jo aap ho , mummy se zyada ummeed nahi mujhe par aapse thi nanu , aap ek bar meri puri baat to sun lete , aapko kaise lag gaya ki apke diye sanskaar bhulkar chori karuga mai ...kaise nanu ...kaise "

Sameer now started sobbing more , the feelings , the unsaid words that he had bottled up inside him were now coming out in the form of complaints and cries.

"Sorry beta ...please aise ro mat ....please " nanu kept on requesting and finally when sameer's heart felt light he stopped his tears .

"Beta kab aeyga Ahemdabad? " nanu asked hopefully but the flashbacks that sameer had of that bad day didnt let him answer a yes or coming soon. He just said
" Shayad kabhi nahi auga nanu "

"Iska matlab tune maaf nahi kiya mujhe?" nanu questioned with a heavy heart but sameer just changed the topic saying
"Aap jaldi aana mujhse milne nanu I miss you... mummy ! "

Nanu felt good on hearing mummy after ages . Only Sameer could make him feel this special . Only his sameer .

"Aapko sach kisne bataya nanu...kaise yakeen hua apko mujhpe?" Sameer though knew the name , the person behind all this but still he wanted nanu to confess.

"Naina ne bataya mujhe pura sach , munna pandit ne bhi uska sath diya "

Nanu said the two lines and started telling him in detail.

Flashback *

Naina called munna pandit in the afternoon to seek help for nanu's number .

Though she remembered sameer's telephone number but still she wanted to confirm.

"Munna mai naina bol rahi hoon please nanaji ka number bata na"

"Naina tu theek to hai ? Sameer se mili bat kiya usne tujhse?" munna asked excitedly to which she replied

"Ha munna ."..and then she started sobbing.

"Tu ro kyu rahi hai yar kya hua?" he asked worriedly

"Wo bas sameer ko thoda bukhar tha to kal mai uske saath thi munna , uska dhyan rakha aur tab hi mujhe dheere dheere uske bare mein bauhat kuch pata chala , wo sach mei bauhat bhavuk hai munna , maine use kitni chot pahuchai yar , mai uske har takleef ko ab dur karna chahti hu , mai tujhe sari batein wapas akar bataugi , tu aur pandit bas meri aaj madad kar do"

She requested with teary eyes while munna was still surprised to hear all this. He was worried for his fever for once but then he believed on Naina's love for his buddy.

"Tu fikar mat kar naina bas bata ki kya karna hai " munna assured her and she revealed the plan

"Tu aur pandit nanaji ke pass jao aur waha mai unhe phone karugi , mai unhe sab kuch sach bata dugi , ab mujhe papa ka , arjun bhaiya ka kisi ka koi dar nahi hai munna , mai bas chahti hu ki sameer ke sir se ye chor ka kalank hat jaaye "

Munna was shocked this time he thought ,

"kya ladki hai yar yeh , jahan ladkiyan apne pyar ko kurban kr deti hai khandan ki jhuthi izzat ke liye waha ye apne pyar ke liye aaj sach bolne jaa rahi hai "

"Munna bol na yeh sahi rahega na?" she asked hopefully to which munna said

"Bilkul sahi karri hai tu naina , mai abhi jaa raha hu pandit ko leke nanaji ke pass"

Munna left with pandit and met nanaji.

"Arey tum dono yaha? kaise ho? nanu asked formally as for him they were sameer's partner in crime .

"Hum theek hai nanaji wo bas apse kuch kaam tha " munna said while pandit nodded his head along.

"Ha bolo " nanaji asked but later the phone rang .

Munna and pandit looked at each other and then at nanaji.

Nanu went ahead to pick the call and said hello.

Naina on the other hand nervously spoke
"Hello ..Jai shree krishna nanaji "

"Jai shree krishna" par kaun bolri ho beta?

"Jee mai wo ..wo Naina !" she hesitantly spoke .

"Naina ? kaun mai pehchana nahi " nanu asked confusedly

Meanwhile , mundit jumped along and replied school wali naina nanaji jisne ....and before they could say anything nanu's expressions changed and his voice suddenly turned cold.

"Ha bolo kya hua hai ?" he asked rudely as he somewhere blamed her for being the reason for their drift.

Naina got scared and clutched the reciever tightly while munna bitted his teeth and pandit rubbed his forehead in nervousness.

"Nanaji wo mai apko kuch batana chahti hoon " she spoke a bit normally trying to shrug off her nervousness .

"Ha kaho ?" he asked to which she finally said

"Sameer...sameer ne paper nahi churaye the , asli chor Arjun bhaiya hai , Sameer bekasoor hai usne kuch nahi kiya ...meri galat fehmi se hua jo hua , Sameer ne chabi zarur li thi library ki par usne chori nahi ki nanaji please use maaf kar dijiye "

And after saying this she started crying while nanu was standing all numb , unable to speak or do anything.

Whatever he had just heard was enough for him to hate himself for not trusting sameer for not listening to him , for ignoring him , for not talking with him.

Munna and pandit rushed towards nanu to handle him and made him sit .

Nanu looked at them and hugged them tightly as the reciever fell from his hands.

Naina was still standing there at the pco inserting coins to not let the call end.

"Maine sameer ...par ...bharosa kaise ..nahi kiya ...rahu ketu...mera baccha sach bol raha tha maine to use todke rakh diya ....ye ye kya kar diya maine "

Nanu cried while hugging mundit and they patted his back to console him but the fact was they themselves were too emotional in the moment.

Nanu took the reciever angrily and started shouting at naina

"Tumhari himmat kaise hui ye jhootha ilzam lagane ki , itne saal se mujhe mere sameer se dur rakhke kya mila tumhe ha bolo "

Naina was too scared and felt defeated as whatever nanu was saying was true.

Munna and pandit felt bad for her so they tried explaining nanu

"Nanaji , Naina ko ye sach us waqt nahi pata tha warna wo aisa bilkul nahi karti , Aap jante ho naina abhi Nainitaal mein hai " pandit spoke in her defence which calmed him a bit.

"Naina apne hi bhai ke khilaf bol rahi hai koi wajah hogi na iski ?" munna said making nanu think for a while.

"Nanaji , naina sameer se bauhat pyar karti hai , aaj se hi nahi pehle din se " pandit finally told him the reason making nanu's eyes wide open.

"Kya pyaar? " nanu asked as he was shocked to know this . The naina whom he knew in pvkm was so simple and studious he never thought she could love anyone like sameer.

"Ha nanaji ye sach hai mai sameer se pyaar karti hoon " naina finally confessed without even stammering once.

Nanu could understand the depth of her feelings through her words so he finally forgived her.

"Mai tumhe ek hi shart par maaf karuga " he said making naina alert.

"Ha boliye mujhe apki sab shart manzoor hai " she confidently replied.

"Mere sameer se hamesha aise hi pyar karna, uska kabhi sath mat chodna , mere bacche ne bauhat jhela hai ab bas khushiyon se bhar do uski zindagi " nanu emotionally spoke while naina just smiled with happy tears.

"Kabhi nahi chodugi nanaji , pakka , Mai bauhat pyar karti hu aur hamesha karugi " she replied making nanu smile.

"Ho sake to mai sameer ko apne sath leke hi augi " she said making nanu smile.

"God bless you beta , aur ha aaj sach batane ki jo tumne himmat ki wo har ladki mein nahi hoti kuki maine logo ko khudgarz banke jeete dekha hai par sameer ke dard ko samajke use baatne ki koshish jo tum kar rahi ho usse mujhe yakeen hai ki tum uske har dard ko adha aur khushi ko dugna kar dogi "

Nanu blessed her with all his heart and she finally kept the reciever feeling lighter for the first time till now.

"Kitni alag si khushi hai na ye bas ab nanaji aur sameer baat kar le fir uske dukh ko kam kar paugi mai " she talked with herself and then returned to her cottage.

Flashback ends *

Sameer was shocked , he remained rooted to his spot on hearing all this. Though nanu wanted to hide this love part but in excitement he had to say it all.

"Kya naina mujhse..mujhse pyar karti hai?" sameer asked more to tell himself that ya it was true.

"Ha beta ye sach hai " nanu told him but sameer was in different zone now.

"Paper Arjun ne churaye the ? itne saal naina ne ye sach chupaya aapse mujhse sabse?" he again spoke and this time nanu had no words to explain him her point of view but he still tried.

"Sameer , wo ek ladki hai jo ek kam modern soch ke ghar mein pali hai apne bhai ke khilaf us waqt jane ki himmat nahi huyi hogi 16 saal ki ladki nahi bol saki par 20 saal ki bol sakti hai please use galat mat samaj " nanu tried to explain all this to sameer as being a father to a girl he knew how the family , how the society plays a vital role in a girl's personality whether she is outspoken, gutsy or not .

In those days not all girls had the strength to fight against wrong and they had to be quiet unlike the present world where right or wrong are treated the way it should be .

Sameer was still in a daze , her loving him and then hiding the truth , the two points were just moving around his head . He couldnt understand her , he really couldnt at this moment. May be he needs some time to think, to understand, to act accordingly.

The whole night he kept on flipping his positions , he kept on tossing and turning but couldnt sleep.

His thoughts made him travel down the memory lane and now he was just thinking how a single incident in his life became the main reason for such a big turning point.

Naina on the other hand was very tired , she was upset as she couldnt meet him but was happy to reveal things to nanaji . She had bought gifts for all and wanted to show sameer all that but sadly she had to wait till the next morning . She hoped to see him happy and somewhere wished that now atleast he forgives her.

The night was dark , it turned a bit more colder ,Sameer and naina were restless , sleepless and lost in deep thoughts regarding the next day when they will meet again.
