Prologue :
"Sameer what happened to you? These days you're taking care of yourself. This is not my Sameer" Nanu said ruffling his hair seeing him sitting silently in his room.
"Nothing of that sort Nanu" he said trying to maintain his composure.
"Your voice and your face doesn't sync. Did something happened in your trip?" he said absorbing him.
He know he can't hide anything from him. But he also knows his nanu won't appreciate what he did. He don't want everyone to hate him at the sametime . So he has to hide it from him.. He thought to tell him once everything gets fine.
Nanu watched his grandson thinking something deeply. He knows he has to do something now.
He wished him goodnight and left from there.
The next day was Monday and Sameer knows Naina will come to visit the temple. He kept the alarm to ring at 5:30 and thought to sleep hoping to see her tomorrow.
Sameer was waiting outside the temple. The temple was almost empty today coz of some function in the nearby temple. Almost everyone went there. But he knew Naina will come here only. It's been for more than half-an-hour and there was no signs of Naina. He lost the hope that she ll come but his instinct told him to wait for few more minutes and his instinct was right.
"Naina" he called her to make her come back to reality.
Naina was surprised to hear this voice again. She thought it must be her dream and started to walk again when she heard his voice again this time a bit louder.
"Naina" he called in a bit higher tone seeing her walking again.
This time she was sure it's his voice. Angered build inside her and tears pooled her eyes immediately.
She turned around and saw him standing looking at her. She ignored him and started to go inside the temple. Sameer followed her silently.
She completed her prayer and started to go back when Sameer came running towards her and stood infront of her.
"Naina I need to talk to you" he said panting coz of the running.
"There is nothing left to talk "she said anger spitting from her eyes.
"I know what I did is wrong? But please forgive me. I was so angry at that time that i took this decision" He started to be immediately cut of her.
"Wrong? It's not just wrong.. It's wrong only if It's done unintentionally.. The moment you took the decision might be wrong. But you had time to make it correct still you didn't do that. You wanted to win that bet at any cost. what u did is sin sameer, it's a SIN" she said with tears flowing from her eyes.
"You know what I was guilty for hiding the fact it was Arjun bhaiya who stole the papers. I thought to tell you once I gain the trust of yours. Coz I was not ready to lose you. I loved you with all my heart" she shouted and fall on the knees.
"Now I know what everyone said is true about me. I don't deserve love in my life. These days I was in some dreamland. Thank you Sameer for showing me the reality and congratulations for winning the bet" she said wiping her tears and got up and went from there without waiting for him to speak.
Naina's words echoed in his ears. "I don't deserve love in my life"
His mom said the same words to him "You don't deserve anyone's love" and he knows how it feels.
His guilt got burdened thinking he has giving the same pain to her. The tears which was flowing increased it's pace and fell on his knees crying hard.
"I'm sorry Naina. I'm so sorry. You're right.. I committed a big sin.. I should never be forgiven" He said crying like a small child knowing the actual damage caused by him.
