Samaina OS : ~ HUMARA GHAR ~

The morning breeze was soothing. The birds were chirruping. The long trees outside a small bungalow were swaying as if dancing for the victory of him.
It was a big day today. He was still sleeping in the dreams of the girl who was synonym of his life. . He was being called buddhu in the dream. Suddenly he heard scream.

"SAMEER MAHESHWARI"

Sameer - Naina... Kam se Kam Sapne me to Naina devi mat bano.

Naina- Sameer utho. Time dekha hai tumne. 9 baj gaye hain. Aaj Grahpravesh ki Pooja hai ghar me aur tum ghode bech kar so rahe ho.. Chalo utho.. Bada bol rahe the Raat ko hi jaake sab Kar lunga. Kucch nahi hua hai abtak.

Sameer opened his eyes.

Naina- Utho Kumbhakaran kahinke..

Sameer- Naina, tum kab aayi?

He got up and sat

Naina- Tabhi jab tum ghode gadhe bech kar so rahe the..

He rubbed his eyes and said.

Sameer- Aur baaki sab?

Naina- Mujhe Pata tha ki tumse to sone ke alawa kucch hoga nahi isliye mai jaldi aa gayi. Preeti Swati Kamya aur Munna Pandit 11 baje aayenge Chachaji aur Chachiji ke sath aur baaki sab raat ko party me.

Sameer- Kya Naina. abhi to shaadi hui bhi nahi aur tumne biwi ki tarah taane maarna shuru kar diya.

Naina- Toh tum bhi to romantic hote time ye nahi sochte ki shaadi hui hai ki nahi. mujhe hi yaad dilana padta hai.

Sameer- woh to isiliye kyunki tumhara mangetar bahut romantic hai aur tum ekdum unromantic.

Naina- Mai unromantic hoon? Abhi batati hoon tumhe.

Sameer- Haan Haan jaldi se mujhe galat prove karo.

Naina threw a pillow at him and ran towards the door.

Naina- Mr. Mangetar jaldi ready ho jaao. tab tak mai neeche tayyari dekhti hoon. Aisa na ho ki Pandit ji aake chale jaayein.

Sameer yelled

Sameer- Ab to mera surprise bata do.

Naina yelled from downstairs

Naina- Surprise ka matlab dhundo pehle Mr buddhuram. Par sabse pehle ready ho jaao.

He cribbed first and then laughed nodding his head.

Sameer - Puri Pagal hai.

He spread his arms and hugged his pillow

Sameer- Kaash har subah aisi hi ho.

He got up and saw his clothes neatly placed. He smiled widest . took his towel and went to get ready.

Its been 18 months since they were engaged and he left his home. Life was a roller coaster ride since then. Everything was changed for him. His lifestyle, His thinking, His surroundings, His responsibilities.. Everything has changed besides two things..

The support of his friends and the love of his fiance.

It has always been consistent for him. Its because of them he was able to come this far. The support of his friends has always doubled his dedication towards his goal and the love of his Naina has always pepped up his pace to success.

He has finally been able to get a house for themselves after having 18 months of struggle. He still remembers the day he left his home.

Sameer- Mere Nanu ne mere liye bahut kucch chhoda hoga.. Ye mai jaanta hoon. Woh kehte the Sameer sab tera hai phir Mamaji ne aisa kyun kiya mere sath.

Chachaji - Beta Mai Maanta hoon Maheshwari ji ne Tumhare liye bahut kucch chhoda hoga Par usko claim karne ke liye tumhe pehle us laayak banna hoga. Khud ki pehchan dhundni hogi.

Sameer - Par Chachaji us me to bahut time lag jaayega.

Chachaji- Acchi cheeze ek din me nahi hoti ye tumse behtar kaun samajh sakta hai beta? (Looking at Naina)

Sameer- Par Chacha ji Mai Naina ko nahi kho sakta.

Looking at Naina. Tears have taken their places in both the pairs of eyes.

Naina- Sameer . Mai har kadam pe tumhare sath hoon.

Sameer- Mujhe pata hai Naina. Par duniya se darr lagta hai. Itni mushkil se hum saath aayen hain. Agar hum phir alag hue to mai to marr hi jaaunga.

Naina- Maine tumse kaha hai na. No Mera No tumhara. Sirf humara. To ab ye safar bhi hamara hai Sameer. Hum dono ka.

He smiled and looked at Chachaji

Sameer- Chachaji Ek waqt pe humne aapse waada kiya tha aur puri koshish ki thi usse nibhane ki. Aaj ek waada mujhe aapse chahiye. Please Meri Naina ko sambhaalke rakhiyega. Mai jaldi hi aake usey apne saath le jaaunga. Par tab tak Meri zindagi aapke paas hai.

Naina started to weep. Chachaji kept his hands on their heads.

Chachaji - Mere liye Naina us pal se tumhari hai jis pal se maine tumhare rishte ko apni marzi di thi. Aur Mai tumhari Naina ko sambhal ke rakhunga. Gharwaalo ki guarantee meri par duniya ki nhi beta. Tum jitni jaldi Naina ke liye ghar banaoge utni jaldi Naina tumhare sath aa jaayegi.

Sameer looked down.

Chachaji- Maine kaha hai na tumhari nazre jhuki nahi honi chahiye. Main tumhari baat samajhta hoon par tum bhi ek pita ke nazariye se socho. Jab tak meri beti ke liye mujhe puri tassali nahi hoti ki woh kahan rahegi kya khaayegi kya pehnegi tab tak tumhare saath kaise bhej doon? Aur rahi intezaar ki baat to woh hum kar lenge.

Sameer was in thoughts. Naina held his hands.

Naina- Tum duniya ki fikar mat karo Sameer. Ab humara saath sirf hum par depend karta hai. Aur mujhe pura vishwas hai ki tum bahut jaldi mujhe humare ghar le jaaoge.

The level of trust she has in him awestruck him. He looked into her eyes and found the never ending love. He looked at Chachaji and smiled

Sameer- Naina bilkul theek kehti hai Chachaji. Aap ek inspiration ho. Aaj aapne mujhe bhi Meri life ka ek maksad de diya hai. Ab tak to mai aimlessly jee raha tha par ab mere pas ek aim hai jo mujhe har haal me pura karna hai kyunki uspe meri zindagi depend karti hai. Thank you so much Chachaji

Chachaji - Bacche thanks nahi kehte beta. Hum log tumhare sath hai. Tumhe kabhi bhi koi bhi help chahiye hogi to mai hoon. Hamesha.

Sameer- Bas aapka aashirwad chahiye chachaji.

Chachaji pulled his ears

Chachaji- Aur mera waada kya khaak nibhaya tha tumne.. Ghar se bhaag gaye the dono.

Sameer- Woh to Chachaji ... Woh Woh

Naina and Chachaji started to laugh out loud.

Chachaji- Accha bura samay sabka aata hai beta. Bas aise hi har samay me hasna seekh lo mushkile apne aap laut jaayengi.

Sameer smiled and touched his feet.

He went down and found Naina arranging things for Pooja today. Finally he is moving to his own house which eventually is going to be their home.

He smiled looking at his fiance who was busy setting things up. She was a wonder. The level of trust and patience she has kept on to him made him fall in love with her all over again. She was her lover before but in last one and a half year, she has proven to be a life partner in all senses.
The support when he failed. The motivation when was upset. The anger when he distrusted himself and the patience when things took time. He has learnt a lot from this petite creature who was an ocean of love. Now he knows what a true love actually means?

He went to her and hugged her from behind. Shiver ran down her spine.

Naina- Sameer kya kar rahe ho?

Sameer - Pyaar..

Naina- Pagal ho kya ? Ramdhaari bhaiya aate hi honge. Maine unhe Nariyal lene bheja hai.

Sameer- to kya. tum meri hone waali beeeweee ho.

Saying so he pecked her cheeks. She was left with an opened mouth. she turned around and hit him.

Naina - Bahut besharam ho gaye ho tum.

Sameer pulled her closer.

Sameer- Jitna door jaaogi utni zor se kheenchunga.

Naina smiled.

Naina- Pagal ho tum..

Sameer - Tumhare pyaar me..

She kept her head on his chest.

Sameer- kya hua? ab tumhe pyaar aa raha hai.

Naina- Sameer dekho na humara ghar . Sapne jaisa lagta hai sab.

He smiled .

Sameer- Tum agar saath ho to saare sapne purey honge Naina.

She smiled and moved away.

Naina- Chalo hato. Bahut kaam hai.

She was back to work and he nodded in disbelief.

Sameer- Meri unromantic Naina devi

Naina- Kya kaha?

Sameer - kucch nahi kucch nahi. Tum dekho kaam. Mai bahar party ke arrangements dekhta hoon.

Naina- Haan Thats like a good boy.

He smiled and ran outside like a kid. She smiled as somethings never change. The arrangements for pooja were done.

She went upstairs to his room to settle things there. She went to balcony to enjoy some time in her to be home before everyone arrives.

She looked down and found Sameer talking to some vendor with his one hand in his pocket and another on the vendor's shoulder. 
He has always been nice to people. Though his anger was always on peak but he has always kept a respect for each and everyone who works for him.

He looked serious. Though somethings never change but a lot has changed in his personality. He has become far more responsible than he was back in college. He has started to take things seriously. He has become more analytic and calculative. His expenses has changed a lot. He has learnt the value of money and people. He was now grown into a responsible man from a carefree college going boy. He was a self made man now. Her self made man.. She continued to adore the responsible site of him.

Things weren't easy for them. But with the help of chachaji and blessings of Chachi ji they managed to come this far. They were truly blessed to have Chachaji and Chachiji as their parents and their gang as their friends. The never ending support system in their lives. Her father had created a lot of ruckus after knowing Sameer left his home. It was Chachaji only who supported him in front of the entire family and told them that Naina wants to study further anyways , so by the time she completes her masters Sameer will manage to solve things up. Their kids need support and they should be with them. All the family elders have hopelessly left the matter in his hands and that was the biggest support for them.

Though Chachaji has offered monetary help to Sameer a number of times but she knew Sameer was self contained man and he would just want support and advises from his end. This is what he has learned from his Nanaji and this is what made Chachaji respect him more as a person.

He has always respected the elders and ignored their taunts because for him his mission identity was more important.

She knew he misses his mom. Though he never talks about that but he craves for her support. They often met Rohan who was in the same city for his MBA from IIM and use to ask about his mother's well being. But he has taken a promise from him not to tell her about this.

It was high time now she has to do something about this. He deserves all the happiness in this world

She sighed while still looking at him. He turned to find her staring at him and raised his eyebrows to ask what is she looking at to which she blew a flying kiss to him and he jumped and pretended to catch it.

She laughed . "Pagal" At one moment he was so serious and at the next one he becomes a child.

The gang has finally arrived with Chachaji and Chachi ji. They were all busy mingling while Naina and Chachiji were looking into the arrangements.

Sameer saw a car halting at the gate and the next moment tears welled up in his eyes as he saw his mother getting down from the car along with his brother. He was rooted to his place while Naina ran towards her. She took her blessings.

Naina- Ma aapko koi problem to nahi hui na.

She smiled at her.

Vishakha- Nahi beta. Mai theek hoon.

She moved towards Sameer who was still. The only thing that was moving for him were his tears. She reached out to him and kept her hand on his head.

Vishakha- Kaisa hai mera beta?

Sameer came out of his trance and bent to touch her feet.

Sameer - Mai theek hoon Mummy aur aap?

Vishakha- Mai bhi theek hoon. I am proud of you. Ye jo tune kiya hai na beta aaj tune saabit kar diya ki tu mere Papa ki parwarish hai.

Sameer- Aap mujhse naaraz to nahi ho na? Maine aapse Mamaji se itni battameezi ki. Ghar chhoda aur aapko bataya tak nahi.

Vishaka was amused. Here she thought she would be the one apologizing to her son for not supporting him in his toughest times but it was the other way round. She looked at Naina who was smiling.

Vishakha- Ab mujhe samajh aaya tu Naina Naina kyun karta hai.. Naina ne mere bete ko itna mature bana diya hai ki mujhse shikayat karne ke bajaaye woh mujhse maafi maang raha hai.

Sameer- Darr lagta hai mummy kahin maine aapse shikayat ki aur aap phirse hamesha ki tarah mujhse door chali gyi to.

Reality struck Vishakha. She finally get to know the difference between her and her father and her and Naina too. 
Whenever she thought Sameer was wrong she had given up her hopes on him and has always left him to deal with his messed up life alone but her father and her would be daughter in law and have always supported him in his thicks and thins and that's why they are his strength.

She joined her hands and said

Vishakha- Mujhe maaf kar de beta. Aajtak Galtiyan hum dono se hui hain par maafi sirf tune maangi hai . Aaj mai apni saari galatiyo ke liye tujhse maafi maangti hoon.

Sameer- Nahi mummy.. Please aise mat bolo. Mujhe bhi aapse Narazagi thi. Par Naina ne mujhe samjhaya ki koi bhi ma sapne me bhi apne bacche ka bura nahi chaahti bas aapka aur mera nazariya alag tha meri bhalai dekhne ka.

Vishakha hugged Sameer and cried her heart out. Sameer felt a content like never before. She regained herself and looked at Naina

Vishakha- Aur isi ne Rohan ke saath milke picchle 6 mahine se mere peechhe pad pad ke mujhe aaj yahan bulaya hai. Rohan bhi kam peeche nahi pada mere.

Sameer looked at Naina.. So this was her surprise.

Rohan- Arey aise kaise chhod deta mumma . Mere bhai ki itni badi achievement hai aur humari mummy na ho to adhura reh jaata na sab. Kyun bhabhi?

Naina smiled through tears and nodded. Sameer went ahead and hugged his brother.

Vishakha went to Chachaji and joined her hands.

Vishakha- Aaj mai aapse haath jodkar aapki beti ka haath maangti hoon apne bete ke liye. Jis tarah usne Sameer ka saath diya hai uske baad to mai uske saamne sar jhukati hoon. Humsafar to ye dono hain hi bas humare ashirwad se inka rishta pura ho jaayega.

Anand- Bhabhiji , Do saal Pehle tak Sameer mera damaad tha par ab woh Mera beta hai. Heera hai aapka beta aur meri beti se zyada lucky aur koi nahi hoga aisa heera paakar.

Vishakha went to Naina.

Vishakha- Tum mujhe maaf kar paaogi beta. Maine tumhe , tumhare pyaar ko kabhi nahi samjha. Mujhe lagta tha ki tum Sameer se nahi uske paise se shayad, ya tum kabhi bhi Sameer ko chhod dogi. par tumne jis tarah uska saath diya hai tumne mere saare daar door kar diye. I am sorry beta.

Naina held her hands.

Naina- Aapne beta bol diya.. bas hai. Ma kabhi baccho se maafi nahi maangti. koi bhi galat ho sakta hai par ma kabhi nahi.

She hugged her and Mundit started to clap.

Pandit - Chalo Accha hai. Pandit ji ko Ganga jal yahi mil jaayega pooja ke liye. Ab aap sab itna royenge to kahin aur se ganga jal laane ki kya zarurat.

Munna- Aey Ponga kar di na tune wahi waali baat. Ye baandh tha saalo ka jo aaj toota hai to yahan ganga jamuna nahi samandar bahega samandar.

Pandit- To isi samandar me tu bhi haath dhole Sameer. Aaj hi shaadi kar le bhabhi se

Vishakha- Arey aise kaise aaj hi. Mere bete ki shaadi hai. bahut dhoom dhaam se hogi . Bhaisahab tayyar ho jaaiye . bahut jaldi aayenge hum baarat leke.

Anand- Hume intezaar rahega bhabhiji.

Bela - Aur nahi to kya? Bhagwan jhoot na bulaaye. Humari beti ki shaadi hai . bahut dhoom dhaam se karenge.

Munna - Bas chachiji tinde mat khilana shaadi me.

Preeti:- Haan Mummy. Pata chala saara pyaar damaad pe tinde se hi nikaal rahe ho.

Sameer- Kyun ? Mai to apni Chachiji ke haath ke tinde hi khaaunga.

Everybody laughed and headed towards the Pooja.

Sameer stopped Naina from proceeding by holding her wrist.

Naina- Kya hua? Chalo Pooja karne chalein.

Sameer- Tumse kucch kehna tha.. Bahut important.

Naina- Kya hua hum kucch bhul gaye kya?

Sameer- Nahi Meri hone waali Mrs perfect Maheshwari. Bas itna kehna tha ki I Love you.

She smiled and kept her head on his heart

Naina- I love you too.. Hume finally humara ghar mil hi gaya Sameer.

He sighed and pulled her closer.

Sameer- Haan hume mil hi gaya Naina HUMARA GHAR.. Humara poora ghar.
