Growing together
This story is my version of the wasted period talks between Shefjun and boys & girls grooming in YUDKBH. Sameer & Naina embark on their first solo trip and discover each other' s youth & deal with the growing up teenage issues together! Taking it a step further with some implicit details about the taboo topic.
Sameer was the class rep and Naina was unbeatable when it came to maths and calculations. Checking her past record, the college committee had decided that Naina would represent VJN in the commerce & economics quiz held at MSU, Baroda, one of the most prestigious universities in Gujarat & India. But Naina had to go alone with the CR. While she was completely elated to be on a trip with Sameer all alone, the question was to obtain permission from home. She definitely couldn't tell them she was going away with a guy, there was no way in the world her family would agree, especially Taiji, and if her papa found out about Sameer, he wouldn't allow her in 5 km radius of him. She had to convince them without giving him away.
She coaxed, prodded, & cajoled her Chachaji who was easiest to crack by convincing him that it was only a day trip from early morning to late evening. She was the only first year student who had ever gotten this opportunity as usually it was third years who were considered more suitable. Her academic merit had earned her this golden opportunity to represent VJN at MSU & she was a big girl who could take care of herself & understood her responsibilities & would do nothing to shame her family name.
Finally, Chachaji relented & convinced her papa & even though Taiji wasn't in the favor, couldn't do much as the trip was totally sponsored by VJN.
Sameer was ecstatic that finally his Naina had managed to convince the family & obtain permission. He was so looking forward to their first alone trip without family & friends or peers & classmates.
Night before the departure phone convo
Sameer: Naina, meri jaan ... mei bataa nahi sakta mujhe kitni khushi ho rahi hai. Finally, hum akele honge. Kitna mazaa aayega! Uss din bike ride ke baad hum kahi gaye hi nahi...ab seedha Baroda!
Naina was smiling at the other end & blushing with the thought of them being all alone together!
Suddenly an idea struck Sameer: Naina Naina... ek kaam karte hai, bus rehna dete hai... meri bike pe chalte hai, bahut mazaa aayega!
Naina recalled their bike ride (please refer to my previous OS, Aaja meri bike pe baith ja), but then came back from her dream world.
Naina: Pagal ho gaye ho kya tum? Adha ghanta bike pe ghumna aur bike pe Baroda jaana dou alag baatein hai! Baroda pahuchne mein 2-3 ghante lagte hai aur wahan ghumne nahi ja rahe hai, VJN ko represent karna hai. Hume sahi samay par pahuchna hai aur wapas aana hai. Bahut mushkil se permission mili hai. Koi gadabd nahi honi chachiye. Hum bus se jaayenge aur bus se hi wapas aayenge!
Now that Naina had decreed, he couldn't argue. He sulked but was elated that at least they would be together all day!
Naina: sab kuch dhyan se pack kiya, kuch bhulna mat aur subah time ae uthkar aa jana! Late mat hona plz!
Sameer: Naina tumne jo jo bola, sab rakh liya, ek jodi kapde, towel, kanghi, brush, toothpaste, soap aur ticket. Par hum tou subah jaakar shaam ko wapas aa rahe hai na, wahan busne thode hi ja rahe hai? Itne saaman ki kya zaroorat hai?
Naina: Thoda si basic cheezein honi chahiye, emergency mein zaroorat pad sakti hai!
Sameer: ohhh... matlab raat bhi saath mein bitane ki possibility hai! Wo bhi bilkul akele, sirf tum aur mei... Sameer imagined and said wow, though he would absolutely love such a situation, right now he was only teasing her, he never dared to do anything untoward to make her uncomfortable, though hand holding & occasional quick side hugs were getting common for them, it was only when they were all alone!
Naina turned the brightest shade of red at his innuendo, wished him goodnight & quickly hung up. Sameer too blushed & wished he could see his girl right now... he set the alarm, thinking only few more hours before they were together for several hours.
5.20 am on the departure day
Sameer was getting frantic at the bus station. His Naina was nowhere to be seen & the bus was going to leave in 10 min. The college had booked a comfortable Volvo coach, so if they
missed it, it would be up to them to get to MSU on time, which might be difficult as 10.00 was reporting time maximum.
Few minutes later, Naina was scamperingtowards the bus all alone with a medium size shoulder bag carrying her essentials. A relief spread across his being that indeed she was there and nothing and no one stopped her.
Sameer gave his brightest smile to her: Thank god tum aa gayi, mujhe laga aakhri waqt par Taiji ya papa ne rok liya hoga.
A huffing Naina answered rudely: Haan koshish tou kar rahe the, sab aana chah rahe the chodne, iss liye jaldi se bhagna. Ab bus jaane ke time ho gaya hai, tou pehle andar baithe? Saare sawal yahi poochne hai kya? And she climbed the bus and went to sit according to her seat number.
Sameer was bewildered at her reaction but then silently followed her inside, placed both their bags in the overhead space, and settled himself next to her. She was looking very cute in a white top and floral white and red printed skirt. He couldn't stop gazing at her, but she hardly met his eyes, was continuously staring out the window, her hair covering one side of the cheek half. His hands itched to remove the hair so he could have his fill of her lovely face but something was off with her.
Sameer: Naina, kya hua? Sab theek hai nai? Ghar par kuch hua kya? He placed his hand on her forehead and then, tabiyat tou theek lag rahi hai...
Naina was irritated and turned to give him a piece of her mid, but then reigned control.
Naina: Kuch nahi Sameer, buss raat ko sone mein der ho gayi thi, subah jaldi uthna tha, taiji ke kaam hi khatam nahi ho rahe the aur upar se yeh quiz ka tension. Pataa nahi kya hoga!
Sameer took her hand in his, entwinded their fingers and consoled her.
Sameer: Topper Naina, kabse compeitions ke liye nervous hone lag gayi? Tum chinta mat karo, sab theek hoga,
Just then the bus started and cool morning breeze calmed her down, she closed her eyes and rested her head on the seat and few minutes later, tumbled on Sameer's shoulder. He shifted his position to be closer to her so her head could rest more comfortably. He hardly ever saw a jittery Naina but reveled in her proximity and closed his eyes too to catch up on the lost sleep.
Baroda bus station
Sameer: Naina, utho, hum pahuch gaye! She got up with a jerk and rubbed her eyes. He hurriedly collected their bags and they got off the bus. Naina was slightly dizzy and held on tight to him. Sameer noticed it. Naina, hamara reporting time 9.30 baje hai, chalo pehle chalke kuch naashta karte hai. MSU yahan se 5-10 min hi durr hai.
They went to the nearby restaurant, ordered the typical Gujarati breakfast of methi thepla, chai and jalebi fafda. Naina was silent throughout, which worried Sameer now. He tried to coax it out once again, but all he got was "Mein theek hoon, and he hoped that the quiz was over soon so that she could relax.
They reached the venue and she made a quick trip to the bathroom before proceeding to the auditorium where the quiz was going to be held. Her worst fear was confirmed, she had started spotting and that's why she was jittery and cranky. The period had started much earlier than expected coz of the stress in the last few days and lack of sleep due to semester exam pressure and preparing for the quiz as the principal made a special mention that she was given an exceptional chance that no one had got till date in the history on VJN, so losing was not an option. She did have a napkin placed in anticipation because of the travel. But now, in a couple of hours, the situation was going to get out of hand. She was going to start cramping badly in the stomach and her thighs would ache like she wished she could amputate them. However, there was nothing that could be done, she had to bear it all, get through the quiz and keep calm as Sameer could read her very well and he wouldn't stop pestering her if he found out that she wasn't her usual self, and she would die of mortification if she had to share such intimate details with him.
Sameer was waiting at the end of the corridor. Lost in thoughts, she came out of the bathroom and started making her way towards him when she missed a step while exiting the building and pooled on the ground.
Sameer immediately came to her and knelt down beside her: Naina, tum theek ho?
Worry was evident in his voice. She placed her hand on the injured leg. He turned to look and a hairy foot met his gaze. He didn't give any reaction, but Naina saw his face and immediately covered it with the skirt. She was embarrassed to the core and now she had to spend the rest of the day with him. How was she going meet his eyes, why had she worn a skirt, why didn't she wear a salwar suit? Why hadn't she listened to Kamya when once she suggested all girls go to parlor together and get waxed, especially Naina since she had a very handsome boyfriend and she should try to match up to his caliber in looks?
On the other hand, Sameer didn't care what he saw, he just helped her get up when she winced in pain, but she refused to meet his gaze and he knew, rather than pain, she was embarrassed. He wanted to tell her that he didn't care but chose to stay mum lest she feel more uncomfortable. The quiz was to begin in a few minutes and he wanted her to be as calm as possible. These things could be discussed later.
The quiz started and Naina was relieved that the first was written session, so she could focus well and not require to look at anyone, especially Sameer as all the reps accompanying the participants were allowed as audience. During the lunch break, they ate in silence. Sameer observed her closely but didn't say or comment on anything. He knew he had to discuss this with her and put her fears at rest about her appearance. She was indeed the most beautiful soul inside and definitely outside in appearance in the world for him.
Post-lunch session was general questions and answers on several commerce-related topics and a rapid-fire round. Naina's condition was worsening, her ankle pain had subsided but the cramping had started and she could feel the flow incessantly. She itched to go to the bathroom and check if all was in place. Finally, the quiz was over and after the wait, which seemed like an eternity, the results were announced. She visibly breathed in a deep breath of relief as VJN had scored 100%, and in record time in rapid-fire, thus announced a clear winner. Although sure of her success, Sameer was the happiest.
While waiting backstage, Naina had turned around to check her skirt and had found some bright red spots. She cursed herself for wearing a white combination. How she was going to go on the stage and accept the trophy. Today, she was surely going to die of shame! Her name was called a second time and she had no choice but to make an appearance. Thank god for everyone's attention focused on the celebration and on taking her pictures with the trophy rather than the backside of her dress.
As soon as it was done, she hurried down, and stood backed to wall and didn't move an inch while everyone came to congratulate her. Sameer looked on as Naina was totally behaving out of ordinary. He had noticed her frequent clenching of eyes, fisting her hands, rubbing her stomach at regular intervals, and occasionally rubbing her thighs. She had also constantly changed her seating position in the chair.
After everyone left, he approached her: Naina, chale, abhi bus nikalne mein thoda time hai, thoda city ghumke aate hai.
Naina was confused as to how to explain to him that she was extremely exhausted, her whole body ached, and she needed to make an urgent trip to the bathroom.
Naina: Sameer, bahar nahi jaana hai, mein bahut thak gayi hoon. Bus stand pe hi chalte hai, buss pehle washroom jaana hai. Hmmm... Sameer... hmm... tum chalo...mein aati hoon.
Sameer didn't say anything except "ok and waited for her to follow him. The audi was almost empty but Naina still didn't leave the wall.
Now his protective nature and concern for Naina kicked in full swing. Enough was enough, something was surely bothering her and she hasn't shared with him yet and was acting the weirdest.
Sameeer: Naina, kya baat hai? Subah se dekh raha hoon, koi baat tumhe pareshan kar rahi hai. Pehle mujhe laga ki shayad ghar par kuch hua hai, fir laga ki shayad tum competition jeetne ka pressure le rahi ho, par ab tou wo bhi khatam ho gaya hai. Kya baat hai? batao.
Naina looked up at him and down again. She couldn't look him in the eye and her stomach started throbbing again with a heavy bout of flow and she shut her eyes to tune out the pain.
Sameer saw her face streaked with pain and was very concerned and frustrated that she wouldn't tell him.
Sameer: Naina, kya hua hai, please batao. Wo gir gayi thi tou kya abhi bhi pair dard kar raha hai?
Naina: Nahi, wo tou buss halkasa hi dukh raha hai, itna kuch nahi hai. Buss... wo... hmmm...
Sameer came closer, raised her hands and entwined their fingers with a firm grip and looked at her with love-filled eyes.
Sameer: Naina, jab hum mushkil se dost the, tabhi bhi tum mujhse khul kar baat karti, hum sab kuch share karte the, fir ab tou hum dost se bahut kuch zyaada hai...bahut saari aise baatein hai hamare beech jo hamare doston ko bhi nahi pataa. Aur fir yahan koi nahi hai, he gestured with his face and eyes that the audi was empty. Tum bina hichkichaye mujhe bataa sakti ho.
Naina finally mustered some courage as she knew he wouldn't relent till she gave in, her trouble was increasing and she had to take action soon.
Naina: Sameer, wo mujhe na thodi problem hai...hmmm ladkiyon wali...and she looked at him embarrassed.
Sameer furrowed his brows as he couldn't place what she meant exactly.
Naina continued: Wo school mein biology ke last 2 chapters the na...
Sameer tried to scourge his brain for all the biology that he had hardly paid attention to in school. How he wished he had paid more attention than his Naina wouldn't have to fumble so much. He could clearly see she was half dead with embarrassment.
Naina: Wo... jo ladkiyon ko hota hai har mahine...char din...
Sameer's brows furrowed and suddenly realization dawned...His Nainital education in biology and hostels came rushing to his brain, also, some anatomical lessons he gained from his Delhi "friends and how they joked and teased females about it. He had never paid attention to any of it but the knowledge was locked somewhere in his brain and the various ads and some hygiene awareness programs that he had watched in the hostel.
Sameer made an "Oh: Naina, theek se bataa sakti thi na, tumhare periods shuru ho gaye!
Naina eyes widened in shock and she was appalled at his use of the word so openly with her, Just then, her stomach clenched in anxiety and pain and she hissed visibly.
Sameer: Bahut dard ho raha hai kya? Tum batao...mein tumhari madad kaise karoo? Please ghabhrao mat, mein hoon na tumhare saath!
His reassuring tone and the firm hand hold gave her the much-needed confidence and the nerve that she could tell him everything and share her problems too.
Naina: Sameer, wo... iss baar shayad stress jyaada ho gaya... tou shayad iss liye date se pehle hi start ho gaya...waise tou mein taiyyar thi, par aise stress ke time jyaada taqleef hoti hai aur... hmmm... aur flow bhi jyaada hai...tou meri dress kharab ho gayi hai...mere paas bag mein sab kuch extra hai, buss washroom jaakar change karna hai. Par yahan se bahar jate waqt kisi ne dekh liya tou...
Sameer was overwhelmed that finally she shared it with him and he couldn't let his girl feel embarrassed about anything infront of anyone. He thought for a few seconds tugging at his jacket. A though struck him and he removed his jacket and gave it to her.
Sameer: Naina, tum yeh jacket apni kamar par bandh lo, fir kuch nahi dikhega. Mein bahar jaake dekhta hoon iss building mein washroom kahan hai?
He returned a couple of minutes later while she tied it: Chalo, abhi jyaada koi nahi hai bahar...washroom neeche hai.
They hurried together on the second floor he walking slightly behind her to obstruct anyone's view from behind in case the jacket slid or swung around. He patiently waited outside the loo while a relieved Naina hurried in to have made a safe trip to there.
But her ordeal was not yet over. She got out the spare dress she was carrying, thank god for Chachiji's training to always carry basic essentials and one change of clothes if your leaving the city, even if for a few hours. However, she couldn't find the most essential thing she needed now...she rummaged through the whole bag, and exasperated just turned it upside down and emptied all the contents on the sink platform. Every single thing that she didn't need right now was there but not one sanitary napkin. How come she forgot it? She was always careful with this one, even if the date was far away, she always carried one extra in every bag. But this was the outstation bag and she had made a mental note to put all things, but a flurry of activities at home and Taiji's constant bugging of her going away alone had caused it to slip her mid.
She headplamed: Aaj ka tou din hi kharab hai...pehle date se pehle shuru ho gaya, fir hamesha itna dard nahi hota, saare jeevam ka dard aaj hi ho raha hai, upar se Sameer ne mere bhalu jaise pair bhi dekh liye, aur ab mere paas extra napkin aaj hi nahi hai. Ab kya karoo? Ghar pahuchne mein tou abhi bahut waqt hai!
On the other side of the door, Sameer was getting restless, hoping everything was ok with her. It was girl's loo and though no one was around, he still couldn't muster the courage to go in. He thought he would wait for a few more minutes if some girl or lady passed by, he would ask them to check on her.
Few more minutes passed, but neither anyone passed by nor Naina came out. Now, he was impatient with worry. Finally, he did the unthinkable in the 90s.
Sameer knocked on the restroom: Naina... tum theek ho na? She didn't reply...he tried again. Naina, please jawab dou, tum theek ho na?
A couple of seconds later, the door opened and a flustered Naina came out...
Naina: Sameer, hmmm ek problem hai!
Sameer trying to keep clam but worried as she was panicking: Kya hua Naina?
Naina: Sameer, wo mein... hmmm extra napkin rakhna bhool gayi and he realized that with "napkin she meant "sanitary napkin.
Sameer: "O...achcha tum tension mat lo! yaha aate waqt meine dekha tha, gate ke bahar dou minute ki doori par ek chemist shop hai, mein waha se le aata hoon.
Naina eyes widened in shock again. It was one thing to share this with your boyfriend, but he actually offering to buy one for you was unimaginable.
Naina: Tum le aaoge? Matlab... tumhe koi problem nahi hai? mein chalti tumahre saath, par mein aise bahar kaise jaaon aur agar abhi dress change kar li, tou wo bhi kharab ho jaaayegi, fir ghar kaise jaoongi?
Sameer: Tum tension mat lo, tum yahi ruko, mein abhi lekar aata hoon.
Without giving it a second thought, Sameer hurried out of the campus to buy the essentials. He came to the chemist shop and asked the man on the counter that he needed female stuff. When he was asked for the brand, Sameer was puzzled. In his hurry to help her, he hadn't asked the specifications and he didn't have a clue about it.
Sameer: Uncle, sabse best wala de dijiye.
Uncle: Arre bhai, sabhi bahut achche hai, aapko kaun sa chahiye?
Sameer ruffled his hair and started to recollect all the ads that had unknowingly passed from front of his eyes. Uncle wo kuch nahi technology wala hai, jo jyaada soak karta hai aur lambe samay tak dry rehta hai, shayad whisper?
Uncle: Haan wo sabse naya hai, par sabse mehnga hai.
Sameer: Koi baat nahi uncle, aap wahi de do.
Uncle wrapped the small packet in an old newspaper and handed him the pack and asked: Kuch aur bhi chahiye?
Smeer: Haan uncle, inn dinon mein pain kam karne ke liye koi davai hai, jisme koi side effects na ho?
Uncle handed him the usual painkiller but slightly strong dose that would relieve cramps. Aur kuch?
Sameer was about to say no, when suddenly he remembered something.
Sameer: Uncle, wo... hmmm wo jo ladkiyan apne haath aur pair mein lagati hai... hmm baal nikalne ke liye?
Uncle gave him a tin of wax and he read the method of usage and realized that the warm wax was applied to the body and pulled with the cloth...He wasn't sure completely but it didn't give him good feelings and thought that this might be painful...he didn't wish to see her yelping in pain...
Sameer: Nahi uncle yeh wala nahi, ek aur ad dekhi thi, ek badi tube mein hota hai, jisme dard nahi hota...
Uncle brought out a tube of Anne French. Sameer was sure this was the product in the ad but read to be sure it didn't hurt.
Uncle: Yeh bhi bahut mehngi hai, jyaada tar ladkiyan wahi istemaal karti hai, he said pointing to the wax tin.
Sameer: Koi baat nahi, uncle, aap yahi sab de dijiye. He paid, gathered everything in his shoulder bag and hurried back to the campus, where Naina was waiting.
Sameer: Sorry sorry, thoda time lag gaya...par mein le aaya...He opened his bag and handed her the newspaper wrapped packet.
Naina almost snatched it from him and ran inside.
He patiently waited pacing in the corridor, hoping he had bought the right stuff for her.
After a few minutes in limbo, she came out and was smiling, which relieved him that probably all was well.
Sameer: Sab theek hai Naina?
Naina: Thank you Sameer. Par itna mehengawala lane ki kya zarroorat thi? Wsie iss waqt market mein yeh sabse achcha hai. Ek baar sample mila tha, bahut achcha laga. Then, she bit her lower lip, realizing she was sharing very personal things with him.
But seeing him smile and not feel awkward about the conversation, she was elated that she could share anything with him.
Sameer remembered something and opened his bag: Naina, ye lo, mein dava bhi laaya hoon, tumhe dard se thodi rahat milegi. She opened the strip and ingested one tablet and thanked him with her eyes again.
They moved hand-in-hand outside the campus for a small snack before boarding the bus. Finally, they occupied their seats and the bus started a few minutes later. Naina closed her eyes in repose.
Sameer placed his hand on her and asked: Naina, tum theek ho na?
She opened her eyes and gazed at him with the love of the whole world in those orbs: Tum saath ho tou mujhe koi problem nahi ho sakti. Sach mein, thank you Sameer, mujhe samajhne ke liye aur mera saath dene ke liye, aur haan... subah se jo faltu mein gussa aur jhunjhlahat hone ki wajah se tumhe pareshan kiya aur trip ka mazaa kharab kiya uske liye sorry.
Sameer: Naina, tumhare liye mein kuch bhi kar sakta hoon. Isliye thank you mere saath sab kuch share karne ke liye...they both smiled at each other. Ek minute, tumhare liye kuch aur bhi laaya tha. He opened his bag and brought out a tube of Anne French and gave it to her.
She was shocked and embarrassed at the same time that he had indeed taken a complete note of her hairy legs.
Sameer: Naina, ise istemaal karna ya karna tumhari marzi hai, par agar karna chaho, tou mein nahi chahta ki tumhe koi bhi dard ho.
She was surprised and amazed at his thoughtfulness but was still embarrassed about her legs. She mubled: Bhaluwale pair dekh hi liye isne. He heard it.
Sameer jovially tried to tease her: Naina, mein tumhe achche se jaanta hoon isliye pataa hai tum aage kya karogi, he looked slightly at her eyebrows, as he had heard Kamya trying to coax SwaPreeNa to going to a parlor with her. He didn't pay much attention to the girl talk but now that his Naina was taking matters to heart, he had to assure her. Waise, mujhe koi problem nahi hai. Tum jaisi ho, mujhe bahut pasand ho... Aur fir jab bhaluwali dress mein hi tumse pyar kar baitha, tou bhaluwale pair ya eyebrows kya cheez hai. He recalled how he was mesmerized seeing her in his birthday party and though he didn't accept it, now he was sure, he fell for her that minute.
Naina was completely mortified but seeing his teasing smile and wink, smacked him hard on the arm.
Sameer caught her hand and entwined their fingers.
Sameer: Waise, mein bhi ek raaz ki baat bataoon.
Naina gave a questioning look, as Sameer didn't hid anything from her now.
Sameer: Thode din pehle, hume Munna ko baal katne mein company dene ke liye salon gaye the. Wahan Kartik aur Priyank ne hume khub chidhaya ki hum chikne ghade hai...
Naina again gave a confused expression and Sameer continued: Wo abhi hamari daadhi-mooch nahi aayi na iss liye. Fir hum teenon ne ghar jaakar 3-4 baar shave kiya aur chai ka paani bhi lagaya, par ab tak nahi aayi.
Naina smiled: Tum chinta mat karo, aa jaayegi. 2 saal pehle Arjun bhaiyaa bhi sheeshe ke samne khade rehkar gaalon pe haath ferte rehte the. Ek din papa ne dekh liya aur kahan ki aise dekhte aur sehlate rehne se daadhi nahi aayegi. Jab aani hogi aa jaayegi, jaise ladkiyan 12-20 ke beech badi hoti hai, ladke bhi 16-20 ke beech bade hote hai. Then she moved her hair form her face that was covering half of one cheek and she showed him a small pimple.
Phulla bua ne kaha tha, muhaasein aane ka matlab hai jawani aa rahi hai and then she turned red at her own statement.
Sameer: Tabhi saara din baal aise ghumghat ki tarah odh rakhe the. Pehle bataa deti, iske liye bhi creams aati hai, wo bhi le aata...
And they both laughed.
Naina tried to move away from him slightly...
Sameer: Naina, aise hi baitho na...itne paas baithne ka mauka roz nahi milta...
Naina was getting into her playful mood: Waise kuch saal pehle tak na, hamare ghar mein inn dinon mein ladkiyan kahi jaati nahi thi, aur ek kamre mein bandh rehti thi.. aur koi unhe ya wo kisiko nahi chu sakti thi...Chachiji ne bataya tha ki daadi ke guzar jaane ke baaad, yeh sab riwaaj bhi nahi raha kyonki chachaji yeh sab nahi maante.
Sameer pulled her more closer and wrapped one arm around her and held the other hand with twined fingers.
Sameer: Aur mein bhi nahi manta. Yeh tou normal body function hai, tou tum mujhse kabhi bhi durr jaane ki koshish mat karna.
Naina was overwhelmed with his gesture and placed one hand on his cheek. Aur tum bhi fikr mat karo. Hum saath mein bade ho rahe hai, pyar mein bhi aur umar mein bhi...waise...mujhe tou yeh chikna ghada hi pasand hai...and she gazed into his eyes and smiled lovingly at him.
Sameer was overcome with love, turned his face in her palm and kissed it. Another of their first. She wasn't shocked or angry... just took it as a growth of their relationship.
Both thought it was indeed wonderful to grow up together in love.
This story is my version of the wasted period talks between Shefjun and boys & girls grooming in YUDKBH. Sameer & Naina embark on their first solo trip and discover each other' s youth & deal with the growing up teenage issues together! Taking it a step further with some implicit details about the taboo topic.

Night before the departure phone convo
Sameer: Naina, meri jaan ... mei bataa nahi sakta mujhe kitni khushi ho rahi hai. Finally, hum akele honge. Kitna mazaa aayega! Uss din bike ride ke baad hum kahi gaye hi nahi...ab seedha Baroda!
Naina was smiling at the other end & blushing with the thought of them being all alone together!
Suddenly an idea struck Sameer: Naina Naina... ek kaam karte hai, bus rehna dete hai... meri bike pe chalte hai, bahut mazaa aayega!
Naina recalled their bike ride (please refer to my previous OS, Aaja meri bike pe baith ja), but then came back from her dream world.
Naina: Pagal ho gaye ho kya tum? Adha ghanta bike pe ghumna aur bike pe Baroda jaana dou alag baatein hai! Baroda pahuchne mein 2-3 ghante lagte hai aur wahan ghumne nahi ja rahe hai, VJN ko represent karna hai. Hume sahi samay par pahuchna hai aur wapas aana hai. Bahut mushkil se permission mili hai. Koi gadabd nahi honi chachiye. Hum bus se jaayenge aur bus se hi wapas aayenge!
Now that Naina had decreed, he couldn't argue. He sulked but was elated that at least they would be together all day!
Naina: sab kuch dhyan se pack kiya, kuch bhulna mat aur subah time ae uthkar aa jana! Late mat hona plz!
Sameer: Naina tumne jo jo bola, sab rakh liya, ek jodi kapde, towel, kanghi, brush, toothpaste, soap aur ticket. Par hum tou subah jaakar shaam ko wapas aa rahe hai na, wahan busne thode hi ja rahe hai? Itne saaman ki kya zaroorat hai?
Naina: Thoda si basic cheezein honi chahiye, emergency mein zaroorat pad sakti hai!
Sameer: ohhh... matlab raat bhi saath mein bitane ki possibility hai! Wo bhi bilkul akele, sirf tum aur mei... Sameer imagined and said wow, though he would absolutely love such a situation, right now he was only teasing her, he never dared to do anything untoward to make her uncomfortable, though hand holding & occasional quick side hugs were getting common for them, it was only when they were all alone!
Naina turned the brightest shade of red at his innuendo, wished him goodnight & quickly hung up. Sameer too blushed & wished he could see his girl right now... he set the alarm, thinking only few more hours before they were together for several hours.
5.20 am on the departure day
Sameer was getting frantic at the bus station. His Naina was nowhere to be seen & the bus was going to leave in 10 min. The college had booked a comfortable Volvo coach, so if they
missed it, it would be up to them to get to MSU on time, which might be difficult as 10.00 was reporting time maximum.
Few minutes later, Naina was scamperingtowards the bus all alone with a medium size shoulder bag carrying her essentials. A relief spread across his being that indeed she was there and nothing and no one stopped her.
Sameer gave his brightest smile to her: Thank god tum aa gayi, mujhe laga aakhri waqt par Taiji ya papa ne rok liya hoga.
A huffing Naina answered rudely: Haan koshish tou kar rahe the, sab aana chah rahe the chodne, iss liye jaldi se bhagna. Ab bus jaane ke time ho gaya hai, tou pehle andar baithe? Saare sawal yahi poochne hai kya? And she climbed the bus and went to sit according to her seat number.
Sameer was bewildered at her reaction but then silently followed her inside, placed both their bags in the overhead space, and settled himself next to her. She was looking very cute in a white top and floral white and red printed skirt. He couldn't stop gazing at her, but she hardly met his eyes, was continuously staring out the window, her hair covering one side of the cheek half. His hands itched to remove the hair so he could have his fill of her lovely face but something was off with her.
Sameer: Naina, kya hua? Sab theek hai nai? Ghar par kuch hua kya? He placed his hand on her forehead and then, tabiyat tou theek lag rahi hai...
Naina was irritated and turned to give him a piece of her mid, but then reigned control.
Naina: Kuch nahi Sameer, buss raat ko sone mein der ho gayi thi, subah jaldi uthna tha, taiji ke kaam hi khatam nahi ho rahe the aur upar se yeh quiz ka tension. Pataa nahi kya hoga!
Sameer took her hand in his, entwinded their fingers and consoled her.
Sameer: Topper Naina, kabse compeitions ke liye nervous hone lag gayi? Tum chinta mat karo, sab theek hoga,
Just then the bus started and cool morning breeze calmed her down, she closed her eyes and rested her head on the seat and few minutes later, tumbled on Sameer's shoulder. He shifted his position to be closer to her so her head could rest more comfortably. He hardly ever saw a jittery Naina but reveled in her proximity and closed his eyes too to catch up on the lost sleep.
Baroda bus station
Sameer: Naina, utho, hum pahuch gaye! She got up with a jerk and rubbed her eyes. He hurriedly collected their bags and they got off the bus. Naina was slightly dizzy and held on tight to him. Sameer noticed it. Naina, hamara reporting time 9.30 baje hai, chalo pehle chalke kuch naashta karte hai. MSU yahan se 5-10 min hi durr hai.
They went to the nearby restaurant, ordered the typical Gujarati breakfast of methi thepla, chai and jalebi fafda. Naina was silent throughout, which worried Sameer now. He tried to coax it out once again, but all he got was "Mein theek hoon, and he hoped that the quiz was over soon so that she could relax.
They reached the venue and she made a quick trip to the bathroom before proceeding to the auditorium where the quiz was going to be held. Her worst fear was confirmed, she had started spotting and that's why she was jittery and cranky. The period had started much earlier than expected coz of the stress in the last few days and lack of sleep due to semester exam pressure and preparing for the quiz as the principal made a special mention that she was given an exceptional chance that no one had got till date in the history on VJN, so losing was not an option. She did have a napkin placed in anticipation because of the travel. But now, in a couple of hours, the situation was going to get out of hand. She was going to start cramping badly in the stomach and her thighs would ache like she wished she could amputate them. However, there was nothing that could be done, she had to bear it all, get through the quiz and keep calm as Sameer could read her very well and he wouldn't stop pestering her if he found out that she wasn't her usual self, and she would die of mortification if she had to share such intimate details with him.
Sameer was waiting at the end of the corridor. Lost in thoughts, she came out of the bathroom and started making her way towards him when she missed a step while exiting the building and pooled on the ground.
Sameer immediately came to her and knelt down beside her: Naina, tum theek ho?
Worry was evident in his voice. She placed her hand on the injured leg. He turned to look and a hairy foot met his gaze. He didn't give any reaction, but Naina saw his face and immediately covered it with the skirt. She was embarrassed to the core and now she had to spend the rest of the day with him. How was she going meet his eyes, why had she worn a skirt, why didn't she wear a salwar suit? Why hadn't she listened to Kamya when once she suggested all girls go to parlor together and get waxed, especially Naina since she had a very handsome boyfriend and she should try to match up to his caliber in looks?
On the other hand, Sameer didn't care what he saw, he just helped her get up when she winced in pain, but she refused to meet his gaze and he knew, rather than pain, she was embarrassed. He wanted to tell her that he didn't care but chose to stay mum lest she feel more uncomfortable. The quiz was to begin in a few minutes and he wanted her to be as calm as possible. These things could be discussed later.
The quiz started and Naina was relieved that the first was written session, so she could focus well and not require to look at anyone, especially Sameer as all the reps accompanying the participants were allowed as audience. During the lunch break, they ate in silence. Sameer observed her closely but didn't say or comment on anything. He knew he had to discuss this with her and put her fears at rest about her appearance. She was indeed the most beautiful soul inside and definitely outside in appearance in the world for him.
Post-lunch session was general questions and answers on several commerce-related topics and a rapid-fire round. Naina's condition was worsening, her ankle pain had subsided but the cramping had started and she could feel the flow incessantly. She itched to go to the bathroom and check if all was in place. Finally, the quiz was over and after the wait, which seemed like an eternity, the results were announced. She visibly breathed in a deep breath of relief as VJN had scored 100%, and in record time in rapid-fire, thus announced a clear winner. Although sure of her success, Sameer was the happiest.
While waiting backstage, Naina had turned around to check her skirt and had found some bright red spots. She cursed herself for wearing a white combination. How she was going to go on the stage and accept the trophy. Today, she was surely going to die of shame! Her name was called a second time and she had no choice but to make an appearance. Thank god for everyone's attention focused on the celebration and on taking her pictures with the trophy rather than the backside of her dress.
As soon as it was done, she hurried down, and stood backed to wall and didn't move an inch while everyone came to congratulate her. Sameer looked on as Naina was totally behaving out of ordinary. He had noticed her frequent clenching of eyes, fisting her hands, rubbing her stomach at regular intervals, and occasionally rubbing her thighs. She had also constantly changed her seating position in the chair.
After everyone left, he approached her: Naina, chale, abhi bus nikalne mein thoda time hai, thoda city ghumke aate hai.
Naina was confused as to how to explain to him that she was extremely exhausted, her whole body ached, and she needed to make an urgent trip to the bathroom.
Naina: Sameer, bahar nahi jaana hai, mein bahut thak gayi hoon. Bus stand pe hi chalte hai, buss pehle washroom jaana hai. Hmmm... Sameer... hmm... tum chalo...mein aati hoon.
Sameer didn't say anything except "ok and waited for her to follow him. The audi was almost empty but Naina still didn't leave the wall.
Now his protective nature and concern for Naina kicked in full swing. Enough was enough, something was surely bothering her and she hasn't shared with him yet and was acting the weirdest.
Sameeer: Naina, kya baat hai? Subah se dekh raha hoon, koi baat tumhe pareshan kar rahi hai. Pehle mujhe laga ki shayad ghar par kuch hua hai, fir laga ki shayad tum competition jeetne ka pressure le rahi ho, par ab tou wo bhi khatam ho gaya hai. Kya baat hai? batao.
Naina looked up at him and down again. She couldn't look him in the eye and her stomach started throbbing again with a heavy bout of flow and she shut her eyes to tune out the pain.
Sameer saw her face streaked with pain and was very concerned and frustrated that she wouldn't tell him.
Sameer: Naina, kya hua hai, please batao. Wo gir gayi thi tou kya abhi bhi pair dard kar raha hai?
Naina: Nahi, wo tou buss halkasa hi dukh raha hai, itna kuch nahi hai. Buss... wo... hmmm...
Sameer came closer, raised her hands and entwined their fingers with a firm grip and looked at her with love-filled eyes.
Sameer: Naina, jab hum mushkil se dost the, tabhi bhi tum mujhse khul kar baat karti, hum sab kuch share karte the, fir ab tou hum dost se bahut kuch zyaada hai...bahut saari aise baatein hai hamare beech jo hamare doston ko bhi nahi pataa. Aur fir yahan koi nahi hai, he gestured with his face and eyes that the audi was empty. Tum bina hichkichaye mujhe bataa sakti ho.
Naina finally mustered some courage as she knew he wouldn't relent till she gave in, her trouble was increasing and she had to take action soon.
Naina: Sameer, wo mujhe na thodi problem hai...hmmm ladkiyon wali...and she looked at him embarrassed.
Sameer furrowed his brows as he couldn't place what she meant exactly.
Naina continued: Wo school mein biology ke last 2 chapters the na...
Sameer tried to scourge his brain for all the biology that he had hardly paid attention to in school. How he wished he had paid more attention than his Naina wouldn't have to fumble so much. He could clearly see she was half dead with embarrassment.
Naina: Wo... jo ladkiyon ko hota hai har mahine...char din...
Sameer's brows furrowed and suddenly realization dawned...His Nainital education in biology and hostels came rushing to his brain, also, some anatomical lessons he gained from his Delhi "friends and how they joked and teased females about it. He had never paid attention to any of it but the knowledge was locked somewhere in his brain and the various ads and some hygiene awareness programs that he had watched in the hostel.
Sameer made an "Oh: Naina, theek se bataa sakti thi na, tumhare periods shuru ho gaye!
Naina eyes widened in shock and she was appalled at his use of the word so openly with her, Just then, her stomach clenched in anxiety and pain and she hissed visibly.
Sameer: Bahut dard ho raha hai kya? Tum batao...mein tumhari madad kaise karoo? Please ghabhrao mat, mein hoon na tumhare saath!
His reassuring tone and the firm hand hold gave her the much-needed confidence and the nerve that she could tell him everything and share her problems too.
Naina: Sameer, wo... iss baar shayad stress jyaada ho gaya... tou shayad iss liye date se pehle hi start ho gaya...waise tou mein taiyyar thi, par aise stress ke time jyaada taqleef hoti hai aur... hmmm... aur flow bhi jyaada hai...tou meri dress kharab ho gayi hai...mere paas bag mein sab kuch extra hai, buss washroom jaakar change karna hai. Par yahan se bahar jate waqt kisi ne dekh liya tou...
Sameer was overwhelmed that finally she shared it with him and he couldn't let his girl feel embarrassed about anything infront of anyone. He thought for a few seconds tugging at his jacket. A though struck him and he removed his jacket and gave it to her.
Sameer: Naina, tum yeh jacket apni kamar par bandh lo, fir kuch nahi dikhega. Mein bahar jaake dekhta hoon iss building mein washroom kahan hai?
He returned a couple of minutes later while she tied it: Chalo, abhi jyaada koi nahi hai bahar...washroom neeche hai.
They hurried together on the second floor he walking slightly behind her to obstruct anyone's view from behind in case the jacket slid or swung around. He patiently waited outside the loo while a relieved Naina hurried in to have made a safe trip to there.
But her ordeal was not yet over. She got out the spare dress she was carrying, thank god for Chachiji's training to always carry basic essentials and one change of clothes if your leaving the city, even if for a few hours. However, she couldn't find the most essential thing she needed now...she rummaged through the whole bag, and exasperated just turned it upside down and emptied all the contents on the sink platform. Every single thing that she didn't need right now was there but not one sanitary napkin. How come she forgot it? She was always careful with this one, even if the date was far away, she always carried one extra in every bag. But this was the outstation bag and she had made a mental note to put all things, but a flurry of activities at home and Taiji's constant bugging of her going away alone had caused it to slip her mid.
She headplamed: Aaj ka tou din hi kharab hai...pehle date se pehle shuru ho gaya, fir hamesha itna dard nahi hota, saare jeevam ka dard aaj hi ho raha hai, upar se Sameer ne mere bhalu jaise pair bhi dekh liye, aur ab mere paas extra napkin aaj hi nahi hai. Ab kya karoo? Ghar pahuchne mein tou abhi bahut waqt hai!
On the other side of the door, Sameer was getting restless, hoping everything was ok with her. It was girl's loo and though no one was around, he still couldn't muster the courage to go in. He thought he would wait for a few more minutes if some girl or lady passed by, he would ask them to check on her.
Few more minutes passed, but neither anyone passed by nor Naina came out. Now, he was impatient with worry. Finally, he did the unthinkable in the 90s.
Sameer knocked on the restroom: Naina... tum theek ho na? She didn't reply...he tried again. Naina, please jawab dou, tum theek ho na?
A couple of seconds later, the door opened and a flustered Naina came out...
Naina: Sameer, hmmm ek problem hai!
Sameer trying to keep clam but worried as she was panicking: Kya hua Naina?
Naina: Sameer, wo mein... hmmm extra napkin rakhna bhool gayi and he realized that with "napkin she meant "sanitary napkin.
Sameer: "O...achcha tum tension mat lo! yaha aate waqt meine dekha tha, gate ke bahar dou minute ki doori par ek chemist shop hai, mein waha se le aata hoon.
Naina eyes widened in shock again. It was one thing to share this with your boyfriend, but he actually offering to buy one for you was unimaginable.
Naina: Tum le aaoge? Matlab... tumhe koi problem nahi hai? mein chalti tumahre saath, par mein aise bahar kaise jaaon aur agar abhi dress change kar li, tou wo bhi kharab ho jaaayegi, fir ghar kaise jaoongi?
Sameer: Tum tension mat lo, tum yahi ruko, mein abhi lekar aata hoon.
Without giving it a second thought, Sameer hurried out of the campus to buy the essentials. He came to the chemist shop and asked the man on the counter that he needed female stuff. When he was asked for the brand, Sameer was puzzled. In his hurry to help her, he hadn't asked the specifications and he didn't have a clue about it.
Sameer: Uncle, sabse best wala de dijiye.
Uncle: Arre bhai, sabhi bahut achche hai, aapko kaun sa chahiye?
Sameer ruffled his hair and started to recollect all the ads that had unknowingly passed from front of his eyes. Uncle wo kuch nahi technology wala hai, jo jyaada soak karta hai aur lambe samay tak dry rehta hai, shayad whisper?
Uncle: Haan wo sabse naya hai, par sabse mehnga hai.
Sameer: Koi baat nahi uncle, aap wahi de do.
Uncle wrapped the small packet in an old newspaper and handed him the pack and asked: Kuch aur bhi chahiye?
Smeer: Haan uncle, inn dinon mein pain kam karne ke liye koi davai hai, jisme koi side effects na ho?
Uncle handed him the usual painkiller but slightly strong dose that would relieve cramps. Aur kuch?
Sameer was about to say no, when suddenly he remembered something.
Sameer: Uncle, wo... hmmm wo jo ladkiyan apne haath aur pair mein lagati hai... hmm baal nikalne ke liye?
Uncle gave him a tin of wax and he read the method of usage and realized that the warm wax was applied to the body and pulled with the cloth...He wasn't sure completely but it didn't give him good feelings and thought that this might be painful...he didn't wish to see her yelping in pain...
Sameer: Nahi uncle yeh wala nahi, ek aur ad dekhi thi, ek badi tube mein hota hai, jisme dard nahi hota...
Uncle brought out a tube of Anne French. Sameer was sure this was the product in the ad but read to be sure it didn't hurt.
Uncle: Yeh bhi bahut mehngi hai, jyaada tar ladkiyan wahi istemaal karti hai, he said pointing to the wax tin.
Sameer: Koi baat nahi, uncle, aap yahi sab de dijiye. He paid, gathered everything in his shoulder bag and hurried back to the campus, where Naina was waiting.
Sameer: Sorry sorry, thoda time lag gaya...par mein le aaya...He opened his bag and handed her the newspaper wrapped packet.
Naina almost snatched it from him and ran inside.
He patiently waited pacing in the corridor, hoping he had bought the right stuff for her.
After a few minutes in limbo, she came out and was smiling, which relieved him that probably all was well.
Sameer: Sab theek hai Naina?
Naina: Thank you Sameer. Par itna mehengawala lane ki kya zarroorat thi? Wsie iss waqt market mein yeh sabse achcha hai. Ek baar sample mila tha, bahut achcha laga. Then, she bit her lower lip, realizing she was sharing very personal things with him.
But seeing him smile and not feel awkward about the conversation, she was elated that she could share anything with him.
Sameer remembered something and opened his bag: Naina, ye lo, mein dava bhi laaya hoon, tumhe dard se thodi rahat milegi. She opened the strip and ingested one tablet and thanked him with her eyes again.
They moved hand-in-hand outside the campus for a small snack before boarding the bus. Finally, they occupied their seats and the bus started a few minutes later. Naina closed her eyes in repose.
Sameer placed his hand on her and asked: Naina, tum theek ho na?
She opened her eyes and gazed at him with the love of the whole world in those orbs: Tum saath ho tou mujhe koi problem nahi ho sakti. Sach mein, thank you Sameer, mujhe samajhne ke liye aur mera saath dene ke liye, aur haan... subah se jo faltu mein gussa aur jhunjhlahat hone ki wajah se tumhe pareshan kiya aur trip ka mazaa kharab kiya uske liye sorry.
Sameer: Naina, tumhare liye mein kuch bhi kar sakta hoon. Isliye thank you mere saath sab kuch share karne ke liye...they both smiled at each other. Ek minute, tumhare liye kuch aur bhi laaya tha. He opened his bag and brought out a tube of Anne French and gave it to her.
She was shocked and embarrassed at the same time that he had indeed taken a complete note of her hairy legs.
Sameer: Naina, ise istemaal karna ya karna tumhari marzi hai, par agar karna chaho, tou mein nahi chahta ki tumhe koi bhi dard ho.
She was surprised and amazed at his thoughtfulness but was still embarrassed about her legs. She mubled: Bhaluwale pair dekh hi liye isne. He heard it.
Sameer jovially tried to tease her: Naina, mein tumhe achche se jaanta hoon isliye pataa hai tum aage kya karogi, he looked slightly at her eyebrows, as he had heard Kamya trying to coax SwaPreeNa to going to a parlor with her. He didn't pay much attention to the girl talk but now that his Naina was taking matters to heart, he had to assure her. Waise, mujhe koi problem nahi hai. Tum jaisi ho, mujhe bahut pasand ho... Aur fir jab bhaluwali dress mein hi tumse pyar kar baitha, tou bhaluwale pair ya eyebrows kya cheez hai. He recalled how he was mesmerized seeing her in his birthday party and though he didn't accept it, now he was sure, he fell for her that minute.
Naina was completely mortified but seeing his teasing smile and wink, smacked him hard on the arm.
Sameer caught her hand and entwined their fingers.
Sameer: Waise, mein bhi ek raaz ki baat bataoon.
Naina gave a questioning look, as Sameer didn't hid anything from her now.
Sameer: Thode din pehle, hume Munna ko baal katne mein company dene ke liye salon gaye the. Wahan Kartik aur Priyank ne hume khub chidhaya ki hum chikne ghade hai...
Naina again gave a confused expression and Sameer continued: Wo abhi hamari daadhi-mooch nahi aayi na iss liye. Fir hum teenon ne ghar jaakar 3-4 baar shave kiya aur chai ka paani bhi lagaya, par ab tak nahi aayi.
Naina smiled: Tum chinta mat karo, aa jaayegi. 2 saal pehle Arjun bhaiyaa bhi sheeshe ke samne khade rehkar gaalon pe haath ferte rehte the. Ek din papa ne dekh liya aur kahan ki aise dekhte aur sehlate rehne se daadhi nahi aayegi. Jab aani hogi aa jaayegi, jaise ladkiyan 12-20 ke beech badi hoti hai, ladke bhi 16-20 ke beech bade hote hai. Then she moved her hair form her face that was covering half of one cheek and she showed him a small pimple.
Phulla bua ne kaha tha, muhaasein aane ka matlab hai jawani aa rahi hai and then she turned red at her own statement.
Sameer: Tabhi saara din baal aise ghumghat ki tarah odh rakhe the. Pehle bataa deti, iske liye bhi creams aati hai, wo bhi le aata...
And they both laughed.
Naina tried to move away from him slightly...
Sameer: Naina, aise hi baitho na...itne paas baithne ka mauka roz nahi milta...
Naina was getting into her playful mood: Waise kuch saal pehle tak na, hamare ghar mein inn dinon mein ladkiyan kahi jaati nahi thi, aur ek kamre mein bandh rehti thi.. aur koi unhe ya wo kisiko nahi chu sakti thi...Chachiji ne bataya tha ki daadi ke guzar jaane ke baaad, yeh sab riwaaj bhi nahi raha kyonki chachaji yeh sab nahi maante.
Sameer pulled her more closer and wrapped one arm around her and held the other hand with twined fingers.
Sameer: Aur mein bhi nahi manta. Yeh tou normal body function hai, tou tum mujhse kabhi bhi durr jaane ki koshish mat karna.
Naina was overwhelmed with his gesture and placed one hand on his cheek. Aur tum bhi fikr mat karo. Hum saath mein bade ho rahe hai, pyar mein bhi aur umar mein bhi...waise...mujhe tou yeh chikna ghada hi pasand hai...and she gazed into his eyes and smiled lovingly at him.
Sameer was overcome with love, turned his face in her palm and kissed it. Another of their first. She wasn't shocked or angry... just took it as a growth of their relationship.
Both thought it was indeed wonderful to grow up together in love.
