Part 5

"Naina...Naina...Naina." He banged the bedroom door twice chantting her name continuously and shouted on Naina. "jaldi karo... aur kitni der lagegi tumhe."

"Bas ho gaya... Sameer." Naina replied opening the bedroom door after being ready.

Sameer was stunned and his mouth opened to see her gorgeous in that a white saree with red jari border. She was looking like a fairy. He got lost in her angelic look.

She snapped her hand in front of his face and he came out of his dreamland.

"ab der nahi ho rahhh..." But her voice died in her throat by his next move.

As he had pushed her inside the bedroom and shut the door behind him by his feet and whinned. "Kyo har baar mujhe room se bahar bhej deti ho, jab bhi change karti ho."

She replied brushing seductively his face. "Kyonki aap mujhe torture karte hai."

"Wo to main ab bhi karunga." And heard his warning she drowned in the sweet torture by him in the morning.

In the morning when she stepped out of the bathroom after taking a long shower, he was bothering her by rubbing his hands behind her waist and kissing her nape. She had regretted why she just came out in her blouse and underskirt, which had aroused his desire. As his torturing session over, he kissed her until they were both out of breath.

He snapped his hand in front of her and asked. "Kahan kho gai thi."

As soon as she came back of his morning torture, she replied by hiding her nervousness. "Kahi to nahi."

"Par tumhari aankhe to kuch aur hi kah rahi hai..." He said looking intensely into her eyes. "Yeh kah rahi hai ki..." He gently stroked her cheeks. "ki tum mujhe miss kar rahi ho... mere touch ko, mere warmth ko aur... mere sweet love ko."

To control his effect on her, she bit her lips. But her innocent act enkindled his passion.

And without wasting a second he pulled her towards him that her hands directly rested on his chest over blazer and his one hand sneaked around her waist inside her saree. He rubbed her back with his thumb, looking into her eyes. Her breath hitched by his sudden assault and she tried to wriggle out of his grip but his hold was much tighter on her. She pleaded him through her innocent eyes. He was not mood to leave her easily. He gently moved his hand in front, rested his big palm on her flat stomach and his fingers started drawing patterns around her naval.

She gasped and looked up his face. He was gazing her with a moking smile twisting his lips. She trembled to see his dark eyes and a current ran down over her body as he raised up his brows with a smirk. Her palms clenched into fists and she drew a deep breath.

The next moment he flipped her position and pushed her against the wall just beside the door and latched the door by one hand. He leaned forward, holding both her shoulder. His eyes became darker gazing her luscious lips.

She startled seeing his desire. "S... Sameer... aap... kya... kar." But her words died in her throat as his hot breath fanned across her face and she shut her eyes as anticipation of his next move but before their lips met, a sound reached in her ears that forced her to open eyes.

"Sameer Naina kahan rah gaye, jaldi aao... nahi to muhurt nikal jayega." His mother called out them.

Sameer immediately left her and combed his silky hair trough his fingers stepping away and avoided to face her and ordered her in a strict voice. "chalo late ho rahe hai." And he muttered opening the door. "kya zarurat thi aise ready hoke ki, pata hai na tumhe aise dekh ke mai sab kuch bhul jata hun."

She chuckled of his frown face but right away she shut her mouth as he had thrown a deathly glare to her. She held his hand but he jerked off it. She mumbled under her breath. "Kis baat par kab gussa ho jaye meri to samajh ke bahar hai."

They all left for the inauguration of their NGO. They reached there on time, all the arrangements were done earlier. They had invited their friends, business associates and clients too. The event was organized by both, the Maheshwari groups and the investor.

In the inaugural program, there had to be a small puja first and then there had to be a ribbon cutting ceremony. So first all the rituals of worship took place at the hands of Sameer and Naina. After this, in the presence of all the guests, Naina and Vishakha together cut the ribbon.

After cutting the ribbon, Vivek and the investors sat on the dais. Vivek gave all the important information about his NGO to all the guests. He offered to tell the financier Mr. Kapoor his perspective of the project.

"Mujhe jab Mr. Maheshwari ne project ke baare me bataya tha main sure nahi tha, yeh project profitable hoga ya nahi. Iss project par hamari do meeting fail ho gayi thi.. lekin jab Sameer ne mujhe ek ek details samjhaya aur kaha ka iss NGO ka main purpose choti bachhiyon ke future ko secure karna hai ... Jis tarike se Sameer ne mujhe sab explain kiya tha, mujhe iss project se ek connection feel hua aur main contract ke liye ready ho gaya.. iss NGO ka hissa bankar mujhe bahut khushi hui... main aap sabhi se request karunga ki aap bhi iss nek kam me apna sahyog kare." Mr. Kapoor told his view about join in the project.

Then Vivek announced that his daughter-in-law Naina Maheshwari would see the all managment for the NGO. And everyone appreciated this decision.

Naina was shocked and looked at his husband who was sitting next to her in the first row in front of the stage. He looked back to her with smile and blinked his eyes for giving assurance.

"Sameer mai kaise, mujhse nahi hoga... Please aap papaji ko mana kar dijiye..." Naina whispered leaning near him.

Sameer made her quiet placing his fingers on his lips. He turned his attention on the stage. Naina looked at his face in daze. She wanted to clear him that she was not capable to handle in this big responsibility. She was afraid if she take any wrong decision that their reputation got spoiled and she had never thought this in her dream. So she wanted to refuse this opportunity.

After the inauguration all the guests left after taking food. Vivek and Vishakha also left for home when the all guests left. Sameer showed Naina the three storeyed NGO building. He showed her cabin, it was a huge room. There in one corner a rolling chair was placed near a table and a new laptop kept on the table.

She scanned the whole room, she found a picture hung on the wall of Lard Krishna and other side wall a cute girl photo hunged. She first touched lord krishna picture for blessing and then caressed little girl photo frame looking Sameer.

He walked towards her, holding her shoulder and leaned close to photo. "Yeh hai Shreya jiski yaad me yeh NGO open kiya hai."

After a while he made her sit on the rolling chair. "madam yeh hai aapki chair jahan aap baitha kar apna work karengi... pasand aaya."

Before say anything Naina got up from chair and a frown appeared on her face and this noticed by Sameer but he did not say anything and after some work they returned their house.

In the night, after dinner Sameer was busy discussing some office related work with Vivek. When he returned to the room, he could not find Naina in the room even in the washroom. He guessed where she might be. After changing his night suit, he went to the terrace. Where he found her standing by the railling staring at the glowing moon.

He approached near her without any sounds and hugged her behind. She first shocked when felt him she leaned back on his chest. He tightened his hold on her. He held both her hands with his and kept it on her belly. He rested his jaw on her shoulder and inhaled her frengrance which everytime made him crazy. But he kept his desire aside as he wanted to ask her why she offend to take responsibility. So he made her turn to him.

"Naina aaj tum kuch pareshan lag rahi thi sab thik to hai na... aaj apna cabin dekh ke bhi tum khush nahi lagi... any problem." He asked softly.

"Main yeh responsibility nahi le sakti Sameer, please aap samjho na meri baat ko... kahi meri ek galti... aap ke aur papaji ke salon ke hard work se achieve ki hui reputation ko spoil na kar de... main yeh nahi bardasht kar paungi Sameer... main ab kisi ki bhi nazaron me mere liye nafrat sah nahi paungi... mujhe sirf aapki wife aur iss ghar ki bahu hi rahne dijiye." She said in a verge of crying and her heart filled with heaviness and pain.

Sameer saw her vulnerable state and firstly soothed her pain. He packed her forehead softly then engulfed her in his arms. She sobbed sliently that making his shirt wet.

Once her sobbed subsided, he pulled her apart and made her sit on swing, sat beside her.

"Naina yeh decision mera hai ki tum NGO ka managment dekho... Kyunki tumne mere aur meri family ke liye apni job chodi thi, jiski samne yeh kuch bhi nahi hai... aur tum yeh mat socho ko tumhe sab akele handle karna hai... jab tak tum sab samajh nahi jati main rahunga na tumhare saath...main lunch se pahle office me kam karunga phir lunch ke baad tumhare saath NGO ka managment dekhunga..." He looked deeply in her eyes where he found some sparkle back, he asked with softness. "to kya ab bhi tumhari na hai"

Hearing his sensible thought, she felt, she was lucky that she have a perfect life partner and she was feel floating in the wave of ecstacy. She surprisingly asked "aap sach kah rahe hai na...Aap rahenge na hamesha mere saath..."He blinked his eyes as assurance but she asked again. "par mujhe ek promise chahiye, agar mujhse koi galti ho jaye to aap mujhse nafarat nahi karege, main aapka gussa sah lungi par nafarat nahi, " He promised her, he always with her.

"Tum na pagal ho itni si baat ke liye tension le rahi thi, tumhe lagta hai, main kabhi apni angel se khafa ho sakta hun.... never my sweetheart." And he kissed her cheek one by one then her nose tip and stopped near her lips.

She shivered at his closeness, although it was not the first time he was kissing her. But she shivered every time as if the two were sharing this closeness for the first time. And she started wondering why his closness always creating a shudder inside her. In their one year married life, both of them have shared more closeness than this. So why did his closeness affect her every time. She stood up abruptly from the swing and went to near railling to calm her pounding heart.

He followed her and towered behind her as waiting her next move. She turned to him when felt much calm her emotions.

"Thank you... Sameer" She said in a joyful voice.

"For what." He asked while quivering up his brow.

"For everything that you give me... aapne iss ek saal me meri life ko khushiyon se bhar diya hai, jahan pahle main iss rishtey ko lekar unsure thi, aapne mujhe rishton par vishwas karna sikhaya, mera confidence bhi lautaya aur sabse badi baat mujhe mere papa aur bhai ka pyaar lauta diya... aapke ke continuous effort ka result hai ki aaj Arjun bhaiya phir se apni life aur job me settle ho gaye hai, pichali sari kadwi yaadon ko bhula kar...aapne jis tarah se unhe encourage kiya aur samjhaya, mujhe mere purane Arjun bhaiya ke saath mere papa ka pyaar bhi mil gaya jiski liye main pichhale kuch saalon se tarasti thi...sachchi aap ke meri life me kadam rakhate hi se mere sare rishtey vapas mil gaye, to ek tarah se aap bhi mere angel huye aur iske liye jitna thank you kahun kam hai." Naina was grateful to him as he had made her life like a heaven, he had solved all her problem and filled her life with joys.

"Madam yeh to maine tumhari pyari si hasi vapas lane ke liye kiya hai... par tum thank you bolna hi chahati ho to... ek shart par hi yeh accept hogi." Sameer said with mischief smile.

"Aur woh kya hai Mr. Maheshwari." She asked with attitude.

"Bas ek meetha chahiye." He said while tapping his lips.

Naina thought as how he always did all things to make her happy. So it was her responsibility to fulfil his every wish. And she raised her toe and extended her hands to touch his face but she started leaning back. He alamared seeing her closing eyes, before she hit on the ground, his hands immediately reached her back and pulled her towards him. She had became unconscious.

He terrified to see her lifeless, he patted her cheek with call out her name. "Naina utho dekho aise mazak nahi karte... Please utho na."

As no movement from her, he quickly picked up her on his arms and immediately reached his room. He lay down her on the bed and shouted his mother in a panic voice.

"Mammy papa jaldi aayiye, Naina behosh ho gayi hai."

He sprinkled some water on her face but nothing happened. He became more tensed as to why she suddenly fainted.

Vivek and Vishakha reached at instance their room. Seeing Naina unconscious, Vivek called doctor. Vishakha approached Naina and caressing her head asking Sameer, how she had fainted. Sameer told her suddenly she started falling and he hold her.

"Mammy dekho na kyo Naina utha hi nahi rahi... Achchhe se baat kar rahi thi phir achanak behosh ho gayi." He was about to crying.

"Kuch nahi hoga beta, shayad aaj work jyada ho gaya hoga, dekhana abhi kuch der me hosh aa jayega." Vishakha console his son.

Vivek informed them he had called the doctor and he will be coming soon. After 10 minutes doctor came and checked Naina.

"Mr. Maheshwari ghabrane ki baat nahi hai yeh exertion ki vajah se behosh ho gayi, maine injection laga diya hai thodi der me inhe hosh aa jayega... Iske saath ek good news." Everyone face became confused and looked at doctor dazely, then doctor announced. "badhai ho aap dada banne wale hai... aur bhabhi ji aap dadi... lekin kal hospital aakar confirmation ke liye checkup kara lijiyega." And Doctor gave them a happy news then he left.

Vishakha was happy and she went to temple for pray to God. Vivek too glad and patted Sameer shoulder. He came out of the room as giving some alone time to them.

Sameer was shocked when the doctor announced the news. He could not understand his own feeling whether he was happy or afraid to take on this new responsibility. His mind swirled in two mixed emotions. He looked at Naina cute face and in a second his every confusion cleared. His heart filled with joy as this child was a symbol of their love. He then sat down beside her and caressed her hair. He promised himself, he would not hurt her with any of his words or actions. He will give her more love and take care her more.

When he saw her stirred, he helped her to sit and fetched a glass of water to her. she took a few moments to figure out where she was, then she took the glass from his hand and drank half glass water before placing it on side table.

"Sameer hum to terrace pe the... aur main behosh kaise ho gayi thi." She was still in a trauma of her sudden fainting.

"Naina tum apna bilkul khayal nahi rakhati... isliye behosh ho gayi thi." He scolded her.

"Wo aaj subah se kuch thik nahi lag raha tha... phir pure din ki bhag doud shayad uski ki vajah se weakness aa gayi hogi." She tried to give the reason.

But Sameer smiled to see her as she was scared of his fake anger. He was thinking how to tell this good news to her.

Seeing him smiling, she frowned. "aap aise smile kyo kar rahe hai, aapko meri jara si bhi fikar nahi hai na... jaiye main baat nahi karungi."

He turned her face to him. "kyunki ab meri life me ek aur angel aane wali hai ya phir aane wala hai."

She tried to decipher the meaning of his sentence and asked with confused face. "kya matlab."

Instead of answering, he kept her hand on her tummy and her eyes immediately shot up to him. "sachhi."

"Haan Naina... tum mummy aur main papa banne wala hun... Doctor uncle ne kuch der pahle bataya." He replied with a broad smile.

She hugged him and he too engulfed her. After a while when they parted, he made her lay down as she was weak. He sat next to her while stroking her head.

"Aaj meri life complete ho gayi...tum meri life me ho, mummy papa ka dream NGO open ho gaya aur ab ek nanha mehmaan aane wala hai, jo hamare pyaar ki nishani hoga... jiske aane se hamari zindagi aur khushiyon se bhar jayegi." He said with enthusiastic feeling and his eyes were twinkling with a joy.

"Sameer aapne ne bhi meri life ko khushiyon se bhar diya hai, main to kab ka inn khushiyon ko bhul gai thi, par aapne mere berang zindagi me phir se rang bhar diye....mujhe phir se sapna dekhana sikhaya... ab iss bachhe ke aane se hum pati patni se mummy papa ban jayenge... lekin kya Sameer hum iss bachhe ki jimmedari ko uthana ke liye taiyaar hai... matlab aap ready to hai na, dekhiye na abhi abhi NGO open hua hai, bahut kam hoga aur iss halat me main bhi NGO ko jyada time nahi de paungi to... kahi hamne jaldi to nahi kar diya." She doubted whether they would be able to fulfil this responsibility properly or if everything would go mess up.

"Pahle tum batao... khush ho na iss bachhe ke aane se..." He asked in a serious voice.

"Bahut khush hun." She beamed.

"To phir yeh dar kaisa, main hun, mummy hai... dekhana sab thik hoga, hum dono mil kar sambhalnege baby ko... aur main to itna khush hun ki pucho mat... dil kar raha hai ki cheekh cheekh kar sab ko bata dun ki main papa banne wala hun." He brought out fear in her mind. He stretched his arms in the air as like as if he would carry all the happiness in his arms.

Naina smile got wider to see his excitement.
A lone tear escaped of her eyes and wiped it before he could even notice. He was engrossed in planning his child's future and the baby name. Seeing his eagerness for the baby, she chuckled when he said that waiting nine months was too much time.

They both dozzed off with their future dreams. It was a beautiful dream where they were with their child.

Ever since he got to know that Naina was pregnant, he started taking extra care of her. Whenever Naina had mood swings during pregnancy, he had persuaded her in a different way. In the middle of the night he would take her to feed icecream, panipuri or spicy food. Whenever Naina was in pain, he had stayed up all night to take care of her. He tried to fulfill her every wish which to right for her and baby. If she insisted to things that had not good for her health, he would became strict and refused her wish strictly. Then she would make a grumpy face and would not talk to him whole day but in night when he would take her in his embrace, she had forgotten all things and snuggled with him. Like this Nine months passed smoothly.

Nine months later, when Naina suffered labour pain, Sameer brought her to the hospital with his mother. On being informed by Vishakha, his father came straight to the hospital from the office. Vishakha also called her parents. They all arrived at the hospital within 15 minutes.

Sameer was restless when heard her scream in the labour room. His uneasiness was clearly visible on his face. He paced in the corridor, ever since Naina was in the labour room. Vivek consoled him that everything would be well. After half an hours everyone heard the crying sound of a baby and a nurse rushed out of the room to inform everyone.

As Naina had given birth a girl child everyone happiness was no bound. Sameer entered the room, Naina was unconscious, he first stroked her hair then his eyes fell on his daughter who was moving her little feet in the credle and was looking him with her tiny eyes. He approached her and knelt down at the credle, touched her soft cheek and hands. The baby held one of his fingers in her tiny hands and a few tears drops rolled down on his cheeks. This baby was a symbol of their love. He was about to pick her up but she started crying.

Naina opened her eyes as she regained consciousness. She saw Sameer looking at the child. She called him and his focused shifted to his wife. He approached her, asked. "Naina you are fine na." She nodded in yes and he packed her forehead, then touched his head to hers.

"Naina dekho hamari angel." He said pointing to his daughter.

"Haan Sameer yeh hum dono ki angel hai." She wanted to take her in her embrace. Sameer brought the little baby to Naina picking up his arms carefully. She held her daughter to her lap and baby smiled seeing her mother.

After that everyone met their grand daughter and Sameer and Naina saw their happy face and the reason for their happiness was only Sameer and Naina.

Naina wondered of her life when everyone busy in the little bundle of joy.

Naina pov

Mummy sahi kahti thi ek din sab theek ho jayega... aaj sab kuch sapne se bhi sundar lag raha hai ...Thank you Kanha ji apne blessing ke rup me Sameer ko meri life me bhejne ke liye aur unka unconditional pyaar dene ke liye...Kanha ji aapne mere daman me itni khushiyan bhar di hai kabhi kabhi ye sab sapna jaise lagta hai... par aankhen khulate hi ehsaas hota hai yeh sab sach hai... aisa sach jo bahut khubsurat hai aur pyaar bhi hai... aur ab to hamari zindagi me ek nayi khushi aa gai hai... bas aapse itni prathana hai isi tarah apna aashirwad hum par banaye rakhiyega."

She admired her family their faces carried a form of joy. Vishakha and Vivek were fighting while discussing whether the child is looking like her mother or her father. Their fight was really cute. Sameer also joined them and claimed that baby was looking like his. Naina eyes moistened to see their cheerful face.

Sameer turned to look at Naina and found her tear-stained face. He went to her leaving everyone and asked worridly. "Naina tumhare aankhon me aansun... kahi pain to nahi hai na."

"Nahi Sameer yeh to khushi ke aansun hai... jo iss choti si baby ke rup me hamari zindagi me aai hai... Dekhiye na hum dono ke mummy papa aur Arjun bhaiya, sab ke chehare par kitni khushi hai... jo shayad aaj se pahle maine kabhi nahi dekhi thi..." Naina said in a deep voice and wiped her tears.

"Jaise tum meri angel ho aur meri life ko khushiyon se bhar diya hai vaise hi yeh hum sab ki angel hai aur isne sab ki life me khushiyan bhar diya hai." He said pointed their child with a bright smile, joining their heads.

Epilogue

After 7 years

Naina and Sameer were sitting on the hill top, gazing at the setting sun. Sameer had wrapped his arm around her shoulder and she leaned on his chest. There was a silence and they both were feeling this soothing silence. After a while she said breaking the silence.

"Sameer agar us din aap iss pahadi par nahi aate to shayad hum kabhi nahi mil paate." There was still pain in her voice but her face was shining with orange light from the setting sun.

"Hume to milna hi tha... pata hai kyo?... Kyonki tumhara dil bahut sachcha aur pavitra hai aur jab koi sachche dil se prathana karta hai to bhagwan ji unki vinti zarur sunte hai... aur jab itne sachhe dil se koi prathana nikalegi to use to bhagwan ji ko pura karna hi tha." He said with a serene face and his voice held a touch of satisfaction.

"Sameer par..." But he stopped her keeping his finger on her soft lips. "Shhh."

"Tum bas yahan ki shanti ko mahsoos karo... hamara present beautiful hai na, to phir kyo uss past ko yaad karna jiski yaad hame sirf dukhi hi karegi..."And he drowned into her eyes and he warned her seeing the same worry on her face. "Aur haan ab agar tumne ek aur baar past ko yaad kiya na to..." He stopped and his eyes turning darker and drew her close to him.

"To kya..." She asked in a stuttering voice.

"To main tumhe kiss kar dunga." Hearing his threat her eyes widend in shock and the next moment they both shared a intense eyelock, forgetting their surrounding.

Their spell was broken by the chirping of the birds returning to their home. She pulled back and said. "Besharm."

"Tumhare pyaar me." He replied with a naughty wink.

He tried to hold her hands but she wriggled out his grip and got up while ordering him. "Chaliye Mr. Romantic Maheshwari... aapki ladli ne ghar sar pe utha liya hoga... Bilkul aapki tarah jiddi hai."

He got up from the place making a pout face. "Maine to kaha tha use bhi le aate hai par tumne mana kar diya."

"Aap to aise bol rahe hai jaise maine janbujh kar mana kiya hai... aap jante hai na use hospital se allergy hai... vahan pahuchate hi rone lagti hai." She reminded him that his daughter had a phobia from the hospital.

"Okay baba... ab chalo... par sambhal ke Doctor ne strict warning di hai ki tej nahi chalna hai... Dheere dheere utro." He ordered her holding her shoulders with his hands.

"Sameer abhi sirf forth months hi complete huye hai... aur main unki har suggestion follow karti hun.... mujhe mat bataiye... bas har time yeh mat karo wo mat karo kahte rahte hai." She removed his hands off her shoulders and started carefully desending of the hill.

Sameer still stood there muttering to himself. "Phir se iske andar ki Naina devi jag gai... Pichhli pregnancy me iske mood swing kaise bhi karke jhel liya tha... par iss baar lagta hai pichhali baar se jyada pared karwayegi...Sameer beta ab apne Naina devi ke nakhare uthane ke liye taiyaar raho."

As she felt silence behind her, turned and saw him standing a far and shouted at him. "Ghar nahi jana... ya phir aaj jangli janwaron ke saath rahne ka vichar hai... iss pahadi par."

"Aa raha hun..." He replied and muttered. Naina devi. He ran towards her.

After half an hour they both reached home, as soon as they both stepped inside the house, a cute six-year-old girl started running fast towards them squealing in delight. "Papa.."

Sameer scared seeing her and screamed. "Manya aise mat dhoudo, gir jaogi beta..."

"Nahi girungi papa.." And next moment with a thand sound she fell on the floor and crying loudly.

Sameer immediately approached her and picked her up in his lap and wiped her tears. "Meri angel to strong hai na... aur strong bachhe kya karte hai..." He asked with a loving voice and kissed her cheek.

"Nahi rote hai." She said in her cute voice and flunged on his shoulder. Sameer wrapped her in his arms tightly.

Naina smiled seeing them and called out him to seat on the sofa. He went to near her and tried to give her to Naina but Manya was not ready to leave him and said in cute voice. "Main mumma ke paas nahi jaungi mujhe papa ke paas hi rahna hai... nahi to wo phir mujhe chhod kar chale jayenge jaise aaj chale gaye the jab main so rahi thi." She wrapped her small hands around his neck.

Just then Vivek returned from office and asked sitting on the sofa. "Meri Monu dadu ke paas bhi nahi aayegi..."

"Nahi aayegi monu." Manya said peeking him.

"kyo nahi jana hai dadu ke paas... dadu pyaar nahi karte.." Sameer asked making her sit on his lap.

"Karte hai na aapse bahut jyada... aur mere liye chocolate bhi late hai bahut sara." She said spreading wide both her hands in the air.

"To phir kyo nahi jana meri shaitan ko." Naina asked pulling her cheek.

"Kyonki kal papa mujhe chhodkar chale jayenge." She said in a weeping voice and tears welled up in her little eyes and ran upstairs. Naina went behind her. "Manya ruko." Sameer got up and said loudly. "Naina dheere."

Vishakha was miffed who was watching everything silently. "Sameer aur kitne din chalega aisa ... Do mahine hone ko aaye hai, tum 15 din me sirf ek baar aate ho aur agle din chale jate ho... ab Naina ko bhi tumhari zarurat hai... jaldi se kaam khatam kar wapas aao... Mujhse Naina aur Manya ka utra hua chehara dekha nahi jata."

"I will try mummy." He said in a heavy voice and went upstair to his room

"Vishakha Sameer ki bhi mazboori hai agar tum aise dathongi to kaise rahega wo hum sabse dur uss pahadi ilake me... agar business me wo loss nahi hua hota to main bhi kabhi iss project ke liye permission nahi deta... aur NGO run karne liye yeh project zaruri hai." Vivek made her understand that she should support her son.

A year ago, Maheshwari industries had suffered a lot in business. Many of their projects were closed and there was a shortage of money to run the NGO. Then their company had a contract with a other company. Under which by setting up a factory in a remote rural area, manufacturing products from the raw material there, making the proper use of the raw material, giving employment to the rural people and improving their life style. But for this, first the people there had to be persuaded to work in it and they had to be trained. Being the CEO of the company, Sameer had to do all this. So he was staying in that rural area for 2 months and training them. He used to come home once in 15 days and leave after staying for 2 days.

When Sameer stepped inside in the bedroom, Naina was making Manya sleep. Sameer sat beside her and asked with guilt. "Naina tum bhi mujhse gussa ho na... Aakhir ho bhi kyo nahi... tum dono ko time kahan de paa raha hun... tum bhi Manya ki tarah gussa hona chahati ho to ho jao... mujhe bura nahi lagega...." His face drooped and deep grief on his face.

Seeing his sorrow, her heart wrenched with the same pain as like his and she had a strong urge to throw her arms around his neck and kiss the worry from his face but she restrained her desire and cupped his face and planted a soft kiss on his forehead to sooth his pain. "Kisne kaha main aapse gussa hun... balki mujhe to aap par bahut pyaar aa raha hai." And kissed both his cheeks.

His mood changed instantly and said with a smirk. "Lagta hai Mrs. Maheshwari aapko hamare beech ki duriyon ne romantic bana diya hai... haye kya baat hai... to phir ho jaaye."

"Kya." She raised her one brow.

"Kya..kya...ek meetha meri jaan." He started leaning towards her face and his gaze fixed on her lips.

"Sameer... kya kar rahe hai... Manya ha..." But her words died in her mouth as he sealed her lips with his. His kiss began softly, slowly gaining passion. Meanwhile his one hand was exploring her waist sliding under her kurti and other was on her head.

As she didn't resist him and moaned his name, he deepened the kiss, nibbling at her lower lip. Next seconds his desire out of world and wanting more, his kiss turned rough and wild. She also responded his kiss passionately locking her both hands behind his neck and he was kissing her vigorously as no tomorrow.

"Mumma." Manya screamed to her in sleep and stirred slightly. But this low voice was just enough to her out of his spell, she pushed him away and corrected her hair properly.

He graoned as he suddenly felt lack of warmth of her soft. "Nainaaa."

"Kya Naina... Manya so rahi hai... uth gai to phir aapse nahi jaane ki jid karegi." She scolded him.

He again disappointed and said. "Naina agar wo jagah thodi si bhi tum dono ke liye comfortable hoti to zarur le jata... But Naina ye last baar hoga jab mai tumhe aur Manya ko aise chodkar jaunga... aur iss baar wahan ka sara kaam finish kar ke jaldi se meri dono angel ke paas vapas aa jaunga." And he kissed his daughter forehead.

She opened her heavy eyelashes lazily and rested her head on his lap. "Papa aap mat jao na please..."

"Beta papa ko jana padega but promise iss ke baad kabhi aap ko chhod kar nahi jayenge." He pinched his nose as promise.

"Pinki promise kijiye." She requested cutely.

"Achha baba pinky promise." He promised rubbing his nose with her daughter's nose and said making her sit. "Chalo jaldi se mumma ko bolo aap ko ready kar de phir hum dono icecream khane jayenge."

She looked once her mother with a puppy face and ran towards the cupboard and take out a dress. "Mumma jaldi se yeh pahna do, main papa ke saath ice cream khane jaungi."

Naina changed her dress glaring Sameer and he made a sorry face and leaned on her ears. "Mujhe bhi Manya ki fikr hai bas main uska mood theek karne le jaa raha hun aur use ek se jyada ice cream khane nahi dunga, pata hai abhi abhi uska fever theek hua hai." He looked at Manya. "Chale beta..." He picked her up in his arms and walked out asking her. "Achha batao tum kon sa flavour khaogi... aur tumhari mumma ke liye kon sa layenge, aur dadu ke liye..."

As they both out of her sight, Naina touched her stomach and smiled muttering to herself. "Manya ke aane se jaise hamari life ki khushiyan kai guna bad gai thi... Vaise hi ab tumhare aane se hamari life complete ho jayegi... aur hum sab aapka besabri se intezaar kar rahe hai... my baby."

She looked at side table where a beautiful photo frame kept. In the photo Sameer carried Manya in his lap and Naina beside her. She smiled and mumbled to herself.

Jab kabhi picche mud kar dekhati hu to lagta hai yeh saat saal palak jhapkate hi itni jaldi beet gaye ...par phir yaad aata hai yeh saat saal hamesha khushiyan bhare bhi nahi the, wo kahte hai na life hamesha fairy tale nahi hoti vaise hi... Manya ke aane tak sab theek tha... par jaise jaise mera NGO ka work load bada, mere andar chid chidahat aane lagi... Bahut baar mere aur Sameer ke beech NGO ke liye kya decision sahi hoga isko lekar ladaiyan bhi hui hai... Kai baar to ladaiyan itni bad jati ki hum dono ke beech baatein tak nahi hoti thi, jiska asar Manya par hone laga... hum dono apna gussa us choti bachhi par nikalte.... phir dheere dheere hame realise hua ki pati patni ke rishtey me ego hona... hamare bachhe ka future bigad sakta hai... aur humne decide kiya ki office ka matter kabhi ghar nahi layenge... Personal aur professional life alag rakhenge... tabhi to aaj hum dono ek achhe mata pita ban paye hai... aur Sameer ki to jaan basti hai Manya me.... bas jaldi se Sameer ka kaam khatam ho aur vapas aa jaye...

Because we are all waiting you Sameer and missing you a lot." She said caressing her stomach with love and kept the photo close to her heart.

The End.
