Samaina FF : Love is Blind Part 16 on page 78 - Page 20

"NAINA" a pair of eyes widened in shock as she saw Naina and Sameer in a cozy position. Naina was laying on the ground engulfed in Sameer's embrace. Both sleeping peacefully in each others arms. Shaking Naina in an attempt to wake her up, "Uth jao Naina". Sleep slowly started to disappear from both their eyes. Both were shocked to find them coiled up in each other's arms. They shot up from the ground, trying to avoid eye contact and their cheeks turning red in embarrassment. "Kya kar rahi ho tum. Agar ghar wale tumhe aisa dekh liya hota toh pata haina ki kya hota. Isse pehle ki koi aa jaye chalo yahan se." Naina got up from the ground and was dragged back to her room, but not before turning and catching a glimpse of Sameer.

************************

"Pagal ho, kya kar rahi thi Sameer ke saath. Agar Taiji ne dekh liya hota hai toh Chachal didi ke mandap mein he tumhari shaadi bhi kara dethi kissi ladke ke saat." Preeti was pacing up and down the room trying to put some sense into her sister's head. But Naina was still in the daze of what had happened between them the previous night. Seeing her sister lost in her own thoughts Preeti shook her to grab her attention. "Ahh" Naina said coming back to reality. "Tum sun rahi ho na ki main kya keh rahi hoon." "Ha.. haaan..." naina replied stammering. "Agar tumhe Sameer ke saath time spend karna he ho toh yahan nahi ghar walo ki nazron se kahin durr jake karo. Waise kal raat ko keh rahi thi ki tum dono ke beech aisa kuch nahi hai toh phir yeh sab kya tha." "Chup kar Preeti," Naina overcomed by shyness ran to the bathroom. "Ab bhi nahi manogi ki tumhe pyaar ho gaya hai Sameer ke saath...". Preeti shouted as she heard Naina close the door of her bathroom.

*****************************

Sameer turned the knob and cold water from the shower poured onto his body. No matter how hard he tried he couldnt keep those images from the previous night come back infront of him. How could he do that and what would Naina think of him. How could he let his emotions take control of him. He cant let his friendship with her to be ruined at any cost. These were some thoughts occupying in his mind. But somewhere deep down in his heart, he felt like whatever happened was not wrong. It just felt right. It felt perfect. It felt as if it was destined to happen, they were destined to come close. It was not the first time he had kissed any girl but somehow the experience with Naina was something different and something new. Never had he felt any strong emotional connect with any girl he had kissed before and never had he thought about it later but this time it was completely different. Naina refused to leave his mind, he was constantly reminded of her, her body against his, her eyes that carried her innocence, her touched that evoked millions of feelings within him and her lips that burned him with passion. So what was different this time.

He looked at himself in the bathroom mirror and saw red marks over his neck. It was her nail marks. A slight smile formed on his face as he caressed his neck. What has this girl done to him. How had she completely occupied his mind. Why was this feeling different to him. Why did he feel that her arms is the most safest and most comfortable place on this world. Why did he forget all his worries and tensions just with a light touch of her fingertips upon him. Why did he feel like his heart was stabbed with a knife when he saw tears in her eyes. Why did he want to protect her from all the problems of the world. Why did he reveal his past to her when he has never shared it with anyone. Why is he emotionally connected with her. Why does he feel at home in her embrace. What is that that makes him feel that his happiness is connected with hers... Why does it feel that he cannot imagine a life without her. What is this feeling called. Is this what is called as LOVE... If this is love then Rohan was right. He is in love with Naina. Yes its love. Its the answer to all his questions, solution to all his problem and solace to his inner turmoils. He is in love. IN LOVE WITH NAINA

*******************

Naina laid on the bed hugging her pillow as the previous night's flashes came back to her. How he had comforted her and eased away her pain. How he had held her so close. How he kissed her. The way he cared for her. His trust in her. Everything was just perfect. She felt like she was in paradise when she was in his arms. She felt a moment of tranquility. She had trust on him more than herself. She felt like no pain or sorrow will reach her if she is in his arms. The time spent with him seemed magical. His touch over her felt so right, as if it was his right to do so. Even when he kissed her she didn't feel angry with him, when some other boy tried to touch her hand when she was in college, she had snapped at him and here he kissed her and she was feeling happy. Her heart leaped with joy when his lips came in contact with hers. Pleasure took over her body. Why was she feeling like this. She had never felt such an attraction with anyone else, then why Sameer. From the moment she had seen him, she felt attracted to him, she longed to spend time with him. Why does she feel her heart is at peace when she sees a smile on his face. Why does she feel like the burden of the world doesn't seem as a burden when she lays her head over his chest. From her blind date till this date, the bond they shared became deeper and deeper and like no other bond she shared with anyone except Preeti. He made her feel unique. He made her feel happy. He made her feel lovable. He made her believe in the word love. He made her believe that even she was capable of loving and being loved. Does she truely love him. Was Preeti right in saying that she is in love with him.

Naina suddenly got up from the bed as events that occured in her life suddenly gained meaning. From the moment she met him, she cared for him, she trusted him, she found a true friend in him and above all she LOVED HIM. How come she didn't realise this all this while. This is why she blushed every time he was around, this is why she dreamt of him, this is why she felt safe in his arms, this is why she wanted to spend more time with him, this is why she felt like a part of her was left behind when she came to Udaipur, this is why she became happy knowing he came to Udaipur for her, this is why all the moments spent the previous night felt right, felt perfect, she felt complete.

"Naina tum abhi tak yahan ho bahar itna saara kaam pada hai aur tu.."Preeti said entering the room but her words were left incomplete as Naina rushed and hugged her sister tightly. "Preeti preeti preeti." She twirled her around in happiness "aare kya hua, tum itni khush kyu ho?" "Pyaar hua." Naina said with a goofy smile on her face. "Kya?" Preeti asked astonished. "Mujhe pyaar hoga..." "kaise?" Preeti probed. "pata nahi." "kab?" "Pata nahi." "kisse? ab iska jawab pata nahi mat bolna." "Nahi pagal.. mujhe Sameer se pyaar ho gaya hai." Naina said blushing, with happiness written on her face. "Oh my god Naina..." Preeti jumped in happiness. "Finally tumhe pata chal gaya ki tum pyaar karti ho Sameer se. Kitni der kardi tumne." "Haan bohot der kardi na. Aur maina na decide bhi karliya ha ki aaj raat Sangeet ke baad mein usse apne dil ki baat bata doongi." Naina said being excited. "Oh meri shadabdi express zara break mar, tum itni jaldi apne dil ki baat nahi bataogi usse." "Kya matlab?" Naina asked in confusion. "Matlab yeh ki tum usse pehle I love you nahi bologu, pehle usse bolne de." "Preeti kya fark padta hai ki woh bole ya main." Naina cribbed like a child. "Fark padta hai, agar tujhe nahi toh mujhe fark padta hai aur woh bhi bohot zyaada. Yeh dono bhai anpe aap ko pata nahi kya samajthe hai. Tumhe pata hai maine Rohan ko pehle I love you kaha tha kyuki woh itna slow tha ki mujhe laga uske chakar mein puri zindagi nikal jayegi. Toh tumhari case mein Sameer ko first step utane de, har kaam hamesha Agarwal sisters todi na karenge." "Lekin Preeti... " Naina said sulking. "Kal tak tho pyaar accept nahi kar rahi thi aur aaj tumhe pyaar batane ka itna jaldi hai. Tum toh mujhse bhi fast ho Naina. Dekh Naina jaisa main keh rahi hoon na waisa kar pehel Sameer ko batane de." "Aur agar woh nahi kaha toh?" Naina questioned her sister. "Aise kaise nahi kahega. Main hoon na main aur Rohan milkar usse apni dil ki baat kehne par majboor kar denge, tum uski chinta mat lo. Phil hal shaadi ki tayario mein meri madat kar", Preeti assured her sister.

********************************

Sameer's POV:

"What do I do... Naina ko jaake kehdo ki main usse pyaar karta hoon. Ek kaam karta hoon Rohan ka opinion leta hoon." Sameer is about to reach his mobile but stops midway. "Inn sab bato main woh khud itna slow hai, I am sure ki usse zyaada romantic main hoon. Kya karu... Preeti se baat karo... Nahi nahi. Mujhe pehle yeh pata karna padega ki Naina bhi mujhse pyaar karti hain ya nahi. Main nahi chahta ki woh mere baare mein galat soccha. Already kal raat ke baad pata nahi kaise face karoonga usse. Kya zaroorat thi Sameer usse kiss karne ki. Todha control nahi kar sakte the kya? Par Naina ne bhi mujhe..."

Flashes of the previous night came back to him. How she had rolled over him and how she had kissed him. "Iska matlab Naina bhi mujhse pyaar karti hogi. Lekin jazbath mein behkar kiss karna toh common hai aur waise bhi kal woh anpe past ke bare mein bata rahi toh ho sakta hai ki uss weak moment mein mujhe kiss karliya ho. Kya karoon. Joh bhi ho main Naina ko comfartable feel karwana chahta hoon. Jab tak mujhe pata nahi chal jata ki woh bhi mujhse pyaar karti hai main kuch nahi bolunga usse. Tab tak mere emotions par todha control karna padega." Opening Naina's picture on his mobile, he sat on his bed. "I love you Naina. Pata nahi main kab yeh baat tumse keh paunga. "

*******************************

I saw her enter through the main door with her family and everything seemed to be in a blur and I felt like only she existed. She was clad in a beautiful royal blue anarkali, with cold shoulders and golden floral embroidery running through the dress. Her hair was left loose. A big golden jhumki was hanging from her ears. As her eyes met mine, I winked at her and her cheeks immediately turned red. She proceeded to meet others at the hall but before she could i called her. She turned towards me and immediately words left my mouth. Like a fool I was just staring at her. Gaining control I gestured her with my eyes, moving from her, to a place away from the prying eyes of our family and friends.

As I moved towards the corner she silently followed me. I slowly moved my hand to hold hers but before my fingers could touch hers another pair of hands covered her eyes from the back. "Kaun??" She asked as soon as the man closed her eyes with his hands and after a moment her face lit up with joy and she shouted out of excitement "MADHAV..." "pehchal kaise liya", came the reply from the intruder. "Come on Madhav tumhare alava aisa harkat kon karega. Waise Australia se kab aye." "Aaj subah he aaya tha." "Toh mujhe bataya kyu nahi, phone kar lete." "Suprise kaise detha madam", the intruder named Madhav said lightly pinching her nose. "Waise kamal lag rahi ho iss dress mein." Thank you. To be honest I didnt like him intruding between our personal space, I didnt like the way he was casually talking with my Naina, I didnt like the way Naina was smiling looking at him, in short I dint like anything of him. "Yeh kya baat huyi. Do saal baad hum mil rahe hai aur tum aise sukha sukha swagat karogi kya", Madhav spoke again. Shock would be an understatement the moment I saw him opening his arms and Naina wrapping hers around him and hugging him. His hands were over my Naina's back. After they had broke their hug he held her hand and took her to the main stage, pulling her close to him and dancing to the beat of a song. I felt like walking to the stage and pulling her away from him and holding her close to my chest. But I had to control my anger. Naina whispered something in his ears and later both of them walked towards me. He came and stood in front of me and Naina started to introduce him to me. "Sameer meet Madhav. Mera favourite cousin brother. Australia main kaam karta ha..." All she was saying suddenly turned inaudible and only one thing remained in my head cousin brother. Brother.. and my lips immediately curved into a smile.

"Madhav this is Sameer mera sabse 'bestest' aur closest friend." She said wrapping her arms around my arm. "Sorry yaar itne dinon baad isse dekha toh i just got carried away, tumse mila he nahi." He had an apologetic look on his face. "Please dont say sorry, I can understand", I replied. "Anyways you guys carry on main baki logon se milke aata hoon." "So woh tumhara bhai tha, mujhe laga ki..." I said as soon as he left. "Ki?" She questioned. "Kuch nahi", I tried to cover up. "Sameer yeh sab chodo aur chalo sab dance kar rahe hain bas hum he yahan reh gaye. Chalo." saying this she held my hand and pulled me to the dance floor.

As soon as we reached the dance floor she wrapped her right arm around my neck and held my right hand with her left and i slid my left hand around her waist, touching her back.

Hua hai aaj pehli baar
Jo aise muskuraya hoon
Tumhe dekha toh jaana ye
Ke kyun duniya mein aaya hoon

I twirled her around in my arms and pulled her closer with each twirl.

Ye jaan lekar ke jaa meri
Tumhe jeene main aaya hoon
Main tumse ishq karne ki
Ijaazat Rab se laaya hoon

My legs involuntarily matched her moments as our bodies swayed with the music. I lost track of time and even the song seemed to have faded away only she remained fresh in my mind. I held both her hands and pushed her a litle away from me and pulled her back and made circles on the stage holding both her hands. Again i twirled her multiple times and finally pulled her close to myself with her back touching my chest and my arms wrapped around her waist. She also wrapped hers over my hands and tilted her head, touching my shoulders and i closed my eyes feeling her close to me. Feeling the bliss of having her in my arms. Feeling my love for her.

The applause from around brought us back to reality and thats when I realised that, everyone dancing on the stage had stopped dancing and left the stage to give the entire stage to us - me and Naina. Shyness took hold of her and she broke away from my hold and ran away and stood beside Preeti. The smile and her downcast eyes were enough to convey that she enjoyed the dance but was just shy to perform in front of everyone.

**********************************

As we reached back to our guesthouse, I laid on my bed still having the feeling of Naina in my arms, dancing merrily with her. I closed my eyes, ready to go into a dreamland with My Naina...
