"Enough is enough" shouted a furious Preeti in front of stoned yet tear strained face of her sister. Her voice brought her back to senses. She dint like it so she fumed. How could she like anyone disturbing her while thinking about her Sameer?
Naina:- Kya Hai Preeti? Why are you yelling?
Preeti:- Kamaal hai behena.. Tujhe kya lagta hai sirf tu chilla chilla ke apni marzi jata sakti hai.
Naina:- Ye tu kya bakwas kiye ja rahi hai Preeti.
Preeti:- Bakwas ye nahi, Bakwas woh hai jo tu kar rahi hai.
Naina:- Matlab?
Preeti:- Waise to badi samajhdaar banti hai. Itni si baat samajh nahi aa rahi hai tujhe.
Naina:- Preeti ye tujhe achanak kya ho gaya.. Subah tak to theek thi. Khair mujhe koi baat nahi karni tujhse. Leave me alone.
Preeti:- Achanak? Its been 3 months Naina. Aur tu achanak keh rahi hai.
Naina:- I told you I don't want to talk about this.
She was about to leave when Preeti held her hand and pulled her inside the room and locked the door.
Preeti:- aaj tu nahi ja sakti bina baat kiye.
Naina:- Preeti, jis baat se mera dard badhega tujhe wohi baat kyun karni hai?
Preeti:- Accha to bina baat kiye tujhe dard nahi ho raha?
Naina:- Kam se kam andar to hai . kyun kured rahi hai mere dard ko?
Preeti:- Andar ho ya bahar. Dard dard hai Naina. Aur ye dard waqt ke saath kam nahi hone waala ye to mai dekh chuki hoon picchle 3 mahino se. tu aaj bhi utne hi dard me hai jitney us din thi ya phir use zyada hi. Aur udhar woh..
Naina gasped. She looked at her sister to continue but got a sigh in return.
Naina:- Woh kya??
Preeti:- Tujhe kyun janna hai? Tera faisla to atal hai na. Woh jiye ya mare isse tujhe kya? Bas tera woh waada jo tune mere papa se kiya tha woh nahi tutna chahiye.
Naina threw herself on bed started to sob again.
Naina:- Aise mat bol Preeti. Tujhse zyada mujhe kaun samjhega?
Preeti:- Samajhta tha tujhe ek insaan. Shayad mujhse bhi zyada, par tere ek faisle ne usey bhi patthar bana diya hai Naina.
Naina got up instantly.
Naina:- Tu Sameer se mili thi? Tune use dekha? Mujhe 3 mahine se nahi dikha woh.. Woh college kyun nahi aa raha? Woh theek to hai na ?
Preeti:- Tujhe itni fikar hai uski?
Naina:- Ye tu bhi jaanti hai Preeti ki meri jaan basti hai usme. Ye sab mai uske bhale ke liye hi to kar rahi hoon.
Preeti :- Rehne de Naina.. Ye to tu bolna hi mat ki ye tu uske bhale ke liye kar rahi hai. Ye tu sirf Aggarwal khandan ke bhale ke liye kar rahi hai. Apni family ki izzat ke liye kar rahi hai. Agar isme Sameer ka bhala hota na to aaj uski ye haalat na hoti.
Naina:- Dekh Preeti mera dil baitha ja raha hai. Bata na Sameer ko kya hua hai? Mai maanti hoon udas hoga.. Kyunki aasan nahi hota 3 saal ka pyar 3 mahino me bhulana . Lekin waqt ke sath woh mujhe bhul jaayega.
Preeti:- Udas? Haan udas hi hoga sirf. Tabhi to 3 mahino se ek din bhi college nahi aaya. College kya apne room se bahar tak nahi nikla. Munna Pandit , uske gharwale sab haar chuke hain.
Naina was stunned. She knew it would be hard for him but she dint know it would push him to the same darkness he has come back from.
Preeti:- Kisi se baat nahi karta. Theek se khaana nahi khata. Theek se sota nahi hai. Shayad yahi bhala hai Sameer ka. Mujhe nahi pata tha Naina ki tu Sameer ki shart ka aisa badla legi us se.
Naina who was almost on the verge of breaking looked at her sister befuddled.
Naina:- Ye tu kya anaap shanap bak rahi hai Preeti?
Preeti knew she dint mean what she said but it was high time her sister needed a reality check.
Preeti:- Theek hi to bol rahi hoon. Tab usne tera dil toda tha aaj tune use to pura ka pura hi tod diya. Ho gaya na score equal? Balki tu to ek step aage hai..
Naina:- Preeti... Aisa mat bol please. Tu to jaanti hai na ki maine aisa kyun kiya..
Preeti:- Baar Baar wahi baat mat dohra naina. Mai maanti hoo maine tera sath diya par ye sochke shayad isi me tum dono ka bhala hai. Par itne time baad bhi mujhe na tu khush dikh rahi hai aur na hi woh.
Naina:- Preeti tu mili thi Sameer se? Please bata na.. Use kya hua hai? Beemar hai woh?
Preeti:- Haan mili thi.. Aaj college me Swati aur Munna ki baatein suni thi maine. Mere saamne to woh log kucch bhi kehne se rahe. Isliye chhup chhup ke sunni padi.
*FLASHBACK*
Munna:- Swati mai kal college nahi aaunga. Sameer ke mamaji uske liye naya Psychiatrist dhund rahe hain. Unhone mujhe bhi sath chalne ke liye bola hai taaki mai unko uski saari problem samjha saku.
Swati:- Ek aur psychiatrist ? Par isse kya faayda hoga Munna? Pehle waale 3 bhi to best the na. Sameer khud hi theek nahi hona chahta warna ab tak to theek ho bhi chuka hota.
Munna:- Par hum umeed to nahi chhod sakte na. Koshish to karte rehni padegi.
Swati:- Ye tum bhi jaante ho Munna aur mai bhi ki Sameer ko psychiatrist ki nahi Naina ki zarurat hai.
Munna:- Mujhe is bare me koi baat nahi karni Swati. Jahan dono galat na ho aur dono sahi bhi na ho us behes ka koi chhor nahi hota.
Swati:- Haan sahi baat hai.. Tum Sameer ka dhyan rakhna. Aur kucch help chahiye ho to mujhe bata dena.
Saying so they were about to leave when they saw Preeti listening to all this with a dumbfounded expression.
Munna was about to leave when she stopped him.
Preeti:- Kya hua hai Sameer ko?
Munna:- Dekh Preeti , Jaane de mujhe. Mujhe koi baat nahi karni.
Preeti:- Munna , ek minute ke liye bhul ja Mai Naina ki behen hoon.. Please.. kya dost nahi hoon mai tumhari? Sameer ki? Kya itna bhi deserve nahi karti mai jaanne ka ki mere friend ko kya hua hai?
Munna :- Tujhe dekhna hai? Toh chal mere sath. Hai himmat Agarwal khandan ki beti me bina ghar pe bataye apne dost ke ghar pe jaane ki?
Preeti sighed. By far she had understood that something major has happened to Sameer but she wanted to see.
Preeti:- Agarwal khandan ki is beti me jab itni himmat hai ki woh chup chap apni jaan se bhi zyada pyari behen ko roz marte hue dekh sakti hai to tumhare sath kyun nahi chal sakti?
Swati:- Mai bhi chalti hoon saath me..
They went to Maheshwari mansion where Munna and Pandit introduced them as Sameer's friends since school. Swati has already been there with Munna and Mamiji has almost forgotten the face of the mehendi waali Kammo and her so called friend.
Munna directed her to Sameer's room.
Preeti saw Sameer and she was astonished. Till now she could only see the pain her sister was suffering through all night and day but after looking at him she wondered whether Naina was stronger or Sameer's love was deeper, because he was in a much more miserable state. The hero of school, the Salman Khan of PVKM, the heartthrob of VJN, her adorable jijaji was looking like a lifeless creature surrounded by virtual walls of escape. He was standing near his window looking at some unknown spaces, drowned deep in his own world of thoughts. She knew he was having thoughts of her sister.
His beard seemed unshaved since months; his night-suit seemed to be double of his size, his arms crossed and his hair uncombed. This was surely not the Sameer she knew.
"How could someone love somebody like this?" She thought.. It wasn't new for her to be surprised to see the bond between Naina and Sameer. Be it their understanding, be it their sense of each other's presence, be it the way they have patiently spent an year of separation yet growing closer, be it the brat Sameer turning into a gentleman or be it her fragile sister turning into bold enough to call her boyfriend at their home.
But this was deeper, in fact much more than she could ever expect. Her sister's love has turned this charming guy into a living corpse. Wait.. Not her love, her parting has turned him into this.
Even a blind could see at that point , when they both are together, they have all the might to face the world, come what may. But when they both are separate units they lose their supremacy. There her sister was dying daily and here he doesn't seem alive anymore.
She dint realize she was crying uncontrollably till she saw Pandit offering her his handkerchief. She looked at him and he nodded that he too understands the situation, so does Munna and Swati. But were they able to change the things after Naina's threat of leaving college and getting married to anybody her taiji brings next?
Preeti went to Sameer and kept her hand on his shoulder making him realize her presence.
Sameer without even looking at her direction said
Sameer:- Mujhe kucch nahi chahiye bhabhi. Bas akele rehna hai. Please...
Preeti:- Sameer...
He looked at her and realized it wasn't his bhabhi. He looked at her expressionlessly for a moment and then looked away.
Sameer:- Naina theek hai?
She was shocked would be an understatement. The guy who was himself in such a depressed situation was still asking about the well being of the person responsible for his condition. She gathered herself and said.
Preeti:- Tumhe kya lagta hai?
He did not reply. He was again staring at the space outside the window. She could not control anymore. She ran out of the place and SwaMunDit ran after her.
She was sitting on the bench and was crying uncontrollably, while her friends trying to calm her down.
Munna:- Sambhal khud ko Preeti..Tune to aaj dekha hai Sameer ko. Humne to use is had tak jaate hue roz dekha hai.
Pandit:- Tere ya humare rone se kucch nahi hoga Preeti. Please sambhaal khudko.
Preeti:- Tum logo ne sirf Sameer ko dekha hai. Maine Naina ko bhi dekha hai. Pal pal ki maut marte. Us pagal ko to lagta hai ki sirf woh ye dard she rahi hai taki Sameer ka bhala ho, Uska dil na tute Jaise Shefali ka toota tha. Ab mai usko kaise samjhau ki jis dil tutne ke dar se woh Sameer ko khud se dur kar rahi hai use bhi kai zyada battar haalat hai Sameer ki.
Munna:- Kyun nahi hogi Preeti? Naina ke liye Sameer uski zindagi ka ek bahut zaruri hissa hai. Par Sameer ke liye Naina uski zindagi hai. Farq hai. Bas yahi farq hai.
Preeti:- Nahi Munna.. Ye dono ek dusri ki zindagi hai. Ek dusre ke bina inki zindagi maut se bhi battar hai. Aur mummy kasam mai ye baat dono ko dekh kar bol rahi hoon. Bas meri pagal behen bandhano me bandh rahi hai, apne chacha chachi ke vishwas ko , unke pyar ko ehsaan samajhkar chukaane chali hai, apni khsuhiyan kurbaan karke. Usko ab yeh samjhane ki zarurat hai ki agar woh aaj khush hai tabhi woh kal apni khushi ka kaaran samjha paayegi gharwaalo ko.
She wiped her tears and got up.
Preeti:- Tum log please kisi bhi tarah Sameer ko kal subah 5 baje Central Park me le aana. Mushkil hai , par bahut zaruri hai. Mai Naina ko Mandir ke bahane se le aaungi. Ab ya to aar ya paar.
Swati:- Ab tu kahan ja rahi hai?
Preeti:- Apni topper behen ki akal thikaane lagane.
*FLASHBACK ENDS*
Naina was speechless. She knew Sameer would be broken, but the state of him explained by her sister was never her intention. All she wanted was his happiness. She was in a state of shock.
Preeti could understand her state, when she could lose her control after knowing about Sameer's condition then her sister would be worse because she was helplessly in love him.
Preeti:- Tujhe Sameer ki khushi chahiye thi Naina? Uski khushi tu hai. Sirf tu .. Theek kaha Munna ne Naina. Tu Sameer ki zindagi ka hissa nahi, uski zindagi hai. Tu kisi se uski zindagi ke hisse chheen sakti hai, par kisi se uski zindagi chheenne ka yahi anjaam hota hai Naina. Tune kabhi uske bare me socha hai? Usne apni puri zindagi tere naam kar di. Kya Kya laalach nahi diye honge uske mama mami ne. Paiso ka , dusri ladkiyo ka, chhuttiyo ka . Par usko tere siva kucch sujhta hi nahi. Yahan tak ki usne mujhse bhi sirf ek hi sawaal puccha ki Preeti Naina Theek to hai na?
She sighed and Naina's eyes were welled up freshly formed tears.
Preeti:- Tu ye soch rahi hai ki kal uska dil tut jaayega. Par aaj jo uski haalat hai use dekhkar to mujhe dil tootna bhi kam lagta hai. Tu kal sath nahi honge is dar se kam se kam tum dono ke sath hone ki umeed to mat chheen Sameer se.
Naina was now holding the pillow tighter.
Preeti:- Jis Pyaar ki taakat ne tum dono ko ab tak jodkar rakha hai shayad wahi pyaar ki taakat kal kucch aur karishma kar jaaye.
Naina looked at her.
Preeti:- Mai maanti hoon ki ye sab baatein bolne me acchi lagti hai, par tere sath to hua hai na. Tune kabhi socha tha Sameer jaisa ladka tere liye aisa deewana ho jaayega? Par hua na? To jab soch samajhkar dukh mil raha hai to bina soche samajhkar khushiya kyun nahi samet leti.
Naina:- Preeti, gharwaale? Papa... Woh phanda.. Chachaji.. who waada..
Preeti:- Dekh Naina.. Ek baat samajh le. Har kahani alag hoti hai. Tum dono ki aur Arjun bhaiya aur Shefali ki situations different ho sakti hain agar tu khud ko strong banaye toh. Sameer ke liye use dur jane ka nahi, uska sath dene ka hausla juta. Ki agar aage aisi koi bhi situation aaye to tu itni strong ho ki Sameer ka sath dete hue situation ko Arjun bhaiya se better handle kar paaye
Things were finally finding place in her head. She always knew she would not be able to live without Sameer but this separation came up with a confirmation that no matter what happens, she should be there with Sameer. If she had promised her Chachaji that she won't breach his trust then she had promised Sameer too that she won't leave him alone for the rest of their lives. Why cannot she try to fulfill both the promises instead of prioritizing them? Why cannot she once again take a leap of faith in their love? She knew her decision now.
She gathered herself and looked at her sister who was curiously looking back at her.
Naina:- Preeti Mujhe Sameer se milna hai.
Preeti :- Pehle bata kyun?
She smiled at her doubt.
Naina:- Len den ki baat karni hai..
Preeti:-Matlab Dahej??
Naina chuckled.
Naina:- Usko Uski zindagi wapas deni hai. Aur apni saansein usse wapas leni hai.
Preeti smiled the widest and hugged her sister.
Next Day.
Inspite of the several attempts, Neither Munna nor Pandit were able to convince Sameer to come with them. Naina was waiting for Sameer along with Preeti and Swati when Mundit arrived and informed her that they were not able to convince Sameer to leave his room. Naina sighed as she was somehow expecting this.
Preeti:- Ab?
Naina:- Ab kya? Jab mera dulha baraat leke nahi aa raha to mai hi jaaungi apne sasural.
Swati:- Naina tu pagal hai kya? Wahan sab honge. Mamaji Mamiji Poonam Bhabhi , Devang bhaiya, Tu jaayegi kaise?
Naina:- Ye hain na mere do Devar .. kab kaam aayenge?
Munna pandit looked at her confused.
Naina:- Tum logo ko bas itna karna hai ki gharwaalo ko busy rakhna hai. Baaki Sameer tak mai khud pahunch jaaungi.
Munna:- bas itna sa . Tumhare liye to jaan bhi haazir hai.
Pandit:- Bas hume humara Sameer lauta de Naina, badle me chaahe kucch bhi lele
Fresh tears welled up in her eyes as she thought, she has not just hurt Sameer and herself but their friends have suffered along with them.
Naina:- Pakka..
As planned Munna Pandit kept Mamaji and Mamiji busy who had just woken up, asking them the time to go to meet the Psychiatrist and Naina sneaked into Sameer's room. The sight was enough for her to realize that she has made the biggest blunder of her life by leaving Sameer alone. She knew she was right on her part but if something right could result into this then she would better choose to be wrong.
Yes, she was looking at him after almost 90 days. He was lying on his bed. It was 5:45 in the morning but still there was no sleep in his eyes. He was staring at the ceiling. His fan was off. It was burning outside and yet he chose to stay without fan. She dint know how many tears she has shed from the past 5 minutes she has been standing and looking at him. She has to gather herself. She had a bigger task in mind.
She entered his space and he looked at her. That gaze was enough of telling her that he has sent his emotions for a long vacation. The intense gaze he used to give was nowhere in the scene. He just looked at her and looked away. She was confused. He did not react to her presence. Has he gone that far into darkness that she would not be able to reach him. A wave of fear ran down her spine. Has she lost him ? No it is not possible. She knows he loves her. But then what was that blank look indicating?
Naina:- Sameer... Ye kya haalat bana ke rakhi hai apni? Aur apne kamre ki bhi? Sab samaan idhar udhar bikhra pada hai.. Dekho aise nahi chalega haan.
He did not respond. Naina tried once more..
Naina:- Aur ye takia Zameen pe kyun pada hai?
She went near the bed to place the pillow .
He looked at her finally. He was staring in her eyes. After a long pauce.
Sameer:- kyun?
Naina:- Sameer...
Sameer:- Kyun Baar Baar mere sapno me aati ho Naina? Ab tak to sirf dikhti thi. Ab baat bhi karne lagi ho.
Naina:- Sameer mai sapna nahi...
He held her palm softly.
Sameer:- Jab mujhse se dur hi jana chahti ho to kyun nahi mujhe khud ko bhulane ka koi raasta bata deti? Kyun har ghadi yaad aati ho?
He left her hand and placed it over his eyes. His feelings for her had once again made her love him more and more guilty as well.
She stood up and went to get a glass of water from his table.
Naina:- Sameer.. Lo Paani Piyo.
He looked at her and then the glass of water. To realize it wasn't a dream he pinched himself way too hard. He screamed in pain and she ran to him rubbing his arm where he threw his mercilessness a moment ago. He touch made him realize she was there really. To be sure he looked and her face and tried to wipe a tear out of millions she was shedding.
His fingers touched her cheek. They both were lost somewhere. Naina realized her world was here in those eyes, in these arms, near to him. She was feeling home.
Sameer:- Naina tum sach me yahan ho?
She just nodded. It was difficult for her to find the words and moreover she was lost in the moment.
He stood up.
Sameer:- Kyun?
Another " Kyun? " for the day, she thought.
Naina:- Mai wahin hoon Sameer jahan mujhe hona chahiye. Tumhare paas.
He looked at her, emotions have started to well up in his eyes. She was trying to figure out the intensity and the category of emotion she would receive.
Sameer:- Taaki tum ek baar phir mujhe chhod ke chali jaao. Papa ki tarah.. Nanu ki tarah.
His eyes begin to shed tears. She knew she had to face this. Though he loved her to the core but this time she had to made him trust her that she would never leave his side. The trust that she lost herself.
Naina:- Is baar hamesha ke liye aayi hoon Sameer. Tumhari Kasam.
He looked at her and then looked away.
Sameer:- Meri kasam kyun? Khaao na apne gharwaalo ki kasam. Jinke liye tumne itni aasani se mujhe chhod diya, pyaar ke raah me beech raaste me mera haath chhod diya. Mai kaun lagta hoon tumhara jo tum itne haq se meri kasam kha rahi ho?
Naina closed her eyes tightly and sighed.
Naina:- I am sorry Sameer..
Sameer looked at her and then laughed sarcastically.
Sameer:- "Sorry", ye accha hai Naina. Ye Sorry humari Love story ka peechha hi nahi chhodta. Bhale hi har baar tum mujhe kyun na chhod do.
Naina:- Love story hai na? Toh phir kyun puccha ki maine tumhari kasam kyun khaayi..
Sameer looked away. Naina needed to take a step further now. She went upto him and then held his arm and pulled him to sit with her on the bed. He did not resist.
Naina:-Sameer, Bas ek baar mere nazariye se sochke dekho. Maine apne Papa ko phansi ka phanda lagate dekha tha. Us pal laga ki unki us harkat ke liye mai zimmedar hoon, tum khud socho , kaisa lagta tumhe agar meri jagah tum aur mere papa ki jagah tumhare mamaji hote toh? Ek pal ke liye hi sahi kya tum ye baat bardasht kar paate ki shayad tumhari wajah se ek din pakka tumhara koi apna phansi laga lega.
Sameer looked worried. Naina continued..
Naina:- Bin Ma ki bacchi.. Jali hui Kundli aur na jaane kya kya nhai suna hai maine bachpan se. agar kisine sabse zyada mere in ghavo pe marham lagaya hai to woh hain mere chacha chachi. Mai kaise un chachaji ka bharosa tod deti jinhone mujhe khud ki betiyon se bhi zyada chaaha tha.
She tightened her grip on his palms. He looked directly into his eyes. What she saw was pure fear. May be he was scared to lose her again. She needed to calm him down.
Naina:- Us raat ne mujhe jhinjod diya tha Sameer. Reh reh ke mujhe Shefali ki cheekh sunayi deti thi. Jisme who chilla chilla ke Arjun bhaiya se sach kehne ko keh rahi hoti thi. Mujhe Arjun bhaiya me mai aur Shefali me tum dikh rahe the Sameer. Kaise seh leti mai tumhara woh haal?
Sameer was frustrated, though he could understand her point of view but then why he has to suffer when he was not even in the scenario. He pulled himself away and yelled.
Sameer:- Toh Ab kyun aayi ho Naina? Mujhe ye samjhane ki tum mere sath kyun nahi reh sakti.
Naina gasped. She did not expect him to shout. But then it was natural. Wasn't it? She composed herself and moved closer to him to make him look at her. He looked into her eyes and she said
Naina:- Nahi Sameer.. Tumne woh kahawat nahi suni? Laut ke buddhu ghar ko aaye. Isliye lauti hoon mai. Tumhare pas mujhe mera ghar mehsus hota hai Sameer. Tumhara pyaar mujhe ghar ki chhaya jaisa lagta hai. Tumhari chinta mujhe ghar ke angan ki thandi hawa jaisi lagti hai aur tumhara gussa mujhe ghar ki cchat ki dhoop jaisa lagta hai. Aisa lagta hai ki mai yahi ke liye bani hoon, Waqt haalat jagah umra rishta sab baad me, pehle tumhara sath aur usse bhi pehle tumhara pyar mere liye maayne rakhta hai.
The look in Sameer's eyes had softened a bit.
Naina:- Mai pagal thi Sameer jo humare rishte ko Arjun bhaiya aur Shefali ke rishte se compare kar rahi thi. Jis mod pe Arjun bhaiya ne Shefali ko chhoda usi mod pe maine tmhe bhi chhod diya. Par dekho na. who dono aage badh gaye aur hum wahin ke wahin khade hain.
Tears started to flow from her eyes. He lifted his hand and wiped a drop off her face.
Naina:- Pata hai kyun? Kyunki hum shayad ek dusre ke bina chalna jaante hi nahi. Shayad ye duri isliye aayi humare beech taaki hume ehsaas ho sake ki humara pyaar haalat se, zamane se, bandhano se , in sabse upar hai. Humara pyaar itna kamzor nahi hai ki hume aise hi aage badhne dega. Agar hota to shayad Taayi ji ke laaye 10- 12 rishto me se koi ek to mujhe le jata.
He frowned.
Sameer:- Taayi ji ne tumhare liye rishte dekhne shuru kar diye hai?
She giggled.
Naina:- Haan.. Plan to yahi tha. Par Preeti aur Chachi ji ne Panditji ko ghoos deke Taayi ji se kaha hai ki abhi agle 2-3 saal tak meri shadi ka yog nahi hai.
He giggled along. She saw him smiling. The sight was as soothing as a bucket full of water on a burning grass.
Naina moved closer to Sameer and rested her head on his chest. He embraced her tightly. It was like oxygen has returned to his life.
Sameer:- Naina?
Naina:- Hmm?
Sameer:- Tum ab to mujhe chhodke nahi jaaogi na?
Naina:- Kabhi nahi Sameer.
Sameer :- Pyaar to karti ho na mujhse?
Naina:- Duniya me sabse zyada.
Sameer:- Toh Pyaar ke sath sath ek aur cheez bhi dogi mujhe?
Naina looked at him trying to figure out his intentions. He was serious.
Naina:- Kya Sameer?
Sameer:- Bharosa... Mujh par.. Humare pyar par.. Humare rishte par. Bolo dogi?
She smiled with the tears and nodded .
Sameer:- To Bas Kal ki Kal Dekhenge ...
He hugged her tight. Both let the tears flow till their eyes were tired. None of them moved for even a second.
After a while Naina got up and looked around.
Naina:- Ye kya haalat bana rakhi hai ? Dekhlo Shadi ke baad ye sab nahi chalega haan. Mujhe room saaf chahiye.
She came forward and pulled his cheeks.
Naina:- Aur ye daadhi kyun itni badhayi hai baba ji ki tarah. Abhi jaao aur shave karke aao. Mujhe mera Sameer wapas chahiye jaldi se jaldi. Tab tak mai ye room theek karrti hoon..
He smiled and pulled her closer for another hug.
Sameer:- Ab tum aa gayi ho na. Ab sab dekhna apne aap theek ho jaayega.
Meanwhile their friends who were listening to this came in and shouted.
Pandit :- ab akele akele gale lagoge? Humari toh koi value nahi hai
Munna:- Haan ab bhabhi aa gayi na. ab hum is Sameer ko batayenge . isne hume kitna parehsan kiya hai.
Preeti was smiling slightly in the corner observing the smiles that have just returned to their faces. Sameer looked at her and he could easily figure out that it was all her along with his friends who have brought Naina back. Because after she met him last evening, it was pretty obvious things changed because of that. He slowly moved towards her. Preeti smiled at him
Sameer:- Thank you..
Preeti:- Thank you se kaam nahi chalega jijaji, mujhe gift chahiye..
Sameer smiled..
Sameer:- Jo bhi aapka hukum ho Saali ji.
Preeti:- Filhaal to sab ice cream khane chalte hain. Baaki aapki shadi me jab jute churaaungi na tab wasool kar lungi.
Sameer smiled wider.
Preeti :- Mujhe mere jijaji haste hue hi acche lagte hain.
She winked at him and he winked back. Everybody smiled.
