Chapter 23
NAINA “The Woman” and SAMEER “The Man”

“EVERY MAN NEEDS A WOMAN WHEN HIS LIFE IS IN A MESS BECAUSE LIKE A GAME OF CHESS THE QUEEN SAVES THE KING.” Was what one of his friends had told him , when they were young. He never believed it until Naina walked into his life.

He looked at the calm, serene face lying next to him and pondered over the quote. It was true to a large extant but what he didn’t understand was, what would happen when Queen’s life was in danger. Who ,from his army would he choose to finish of that threat and how?? Two weeks had gone by peacefully, they didn’t hear anything much. But things changed three days back. An informant from the private security agency told him that Naina was being followed by two young men when she was out for shopping with Preethi. The photo of the people that they captured didn’t look anything like her distant relative. These were two guys in their late 20s or early 30s. There was no track record of these people in the police station too and her Tayi ji’s relatives were back in the village. They weren’t sure if these two were following Naina or Preethi. To know that he wasn’t willing to let his favorite girls go alone again. He had shared this information only with Parth , Chacha ji and Nanu.

He ran his palm on her head lovingly. This petite girl had captured his heart from the day his eyes met hers and now she was his life. She turned towards his side and placed a hand on his tummy. “Sameer , it’s a Saturday and we don’t have to be at office . Why are you not sleeping?? What is bothering you so much.”
“Nothing, just think what is making you so grumpy these days in the morning.”

“Me and grumpy?? No way!! It’s you who don’t have time for me. You had promised you would come for shopping with us and in the last moment you said you couldn’t. Anyways you lost the opportunity to be with us.”

“Yes agreed. I lost the opportunity.”

“Sameer , what are you talking about??”

“Hmm…well…I …meant …I ..I lost the opportunity of tasting your favorite ice cream.”

“Is that what you meant because your expression didn’t mirror your words.”

“Oh come on Naina.!! Of course, that’s what I meant.”

“Let’s plan something this Sunday. We will take Preethi , Parth and Rohan too. What say??”

“Fine. I like the idea. With Rohan and Parth , I can also enjoy. Else I will be stuck between two of my favorite ladies fighting about colours and styles.”

“Oh Great!! But today can we go and eat some nice spicy chat?? And then we will go and have Kulfi.”

“OK. Madam seems to be on eating spree these days and that too very odd combinations.”

“Odd combination ?? When chacha ji used to take us for weekend chat treat , we always had kulfi after it. Try it out . Its good.”

“Ok Baba, will do. Before that, there are few files that I need to be prepared. Only then the banks will release the money for our Resort project.”

“I know. Did you finalise on the floor plans for the new cottages in Ooty.”

“Not yet, there were few changes I had suggested and because of which there is a change in the estimated cost. Parth , has reworked on the project plan and has send the files yesterday for me to review.”

“OK…Once we get it going , who is going to manage Ooty resort??”

“I have got in touch with your friend’s father who has been with the resort for long. I have asked him to join back once we start. ”

“You mean Sanjay’s dad??”

“Yep!!”

“That’s so nice of you Sameer.”

“I felt we needed some old crowd there to take care of the place because for them its like their second home.”

“You are right. But don’t you think we will need to visit at least once in a month. Do you plan to travel frequently??”

“NOPE. I will speak to Rohan and see if he would want to join us. If he is interested then I would hand it over to him to take care of it completely. We will need Parth for overall governance. ”

“Yes I agree and I am sure Rohan will like it there.”

“My Queen is happy??”

“Yes. Hmmm…I am feeling so hungry. I don’t know why these days I am so hungry and if I don’t eat soon , stomach turns acidic.”

“That’s because you don’t eat much when dinner is served..”

“Hmmmm..for us woman a lot changes after marriage….and …the other thing is I don’t like to eat what I cook, that’s another reason.”

“Aha so now the blame is on me and marriage …is that what you are hinting.,,,Naina you don’t have to cook. You know that rt ??”

“Yeah but when I see you eating the food I cooked, feels nice..”

“You women are weird ..”

“That we are …”, She curled close to him as he pulled her towards his chest. Her head was on his chest and closed her eyes. His fingers found its ways through her hair, drawing smooth circles on her scalp. She adjusted her head to find that comfortable spot on his chest , something that she does regularly. There was a particular spot on his chest close to his left shoulder where she would place her head. Till she finds that spot to rest her head , she would keep moving and he would silently enjoy this daily nonsense . Once her head, found the spot , she would soon dose off and today was no different. She had dosed off again.

He knew this weekend he was not going to let her out because he was scared if something would happen to her, especially when he knew that two people were following his wife and her sister. If he had said no , she would have gotten into an argument or forced the truth out of him. To top it all these days she was being very moody. Somedays even he didn’t know how to react to her behaviour. Nanu had advised him saying these were the outcomes of her fear of loosing him. He decided he would invite Chacha ji , chachi and Preethi home for the weekend , so that going out can be avoided. Also, he will have chacha ji handling the situation and not him.

The weekend was not as bad as Samee thought. He thought she would be angry for not going out. In reality she was very happy to see her chacha chachi and Preethi at home with her. The only thing that irritated her was that Sameer’s Step father didn’t allow Rohan to come home. Other than that , weekend was beautiful. Two days passed by quickly with loads of fun and laughter.

But the next few weeks that came after that was busy and stressful for everyone. They had to review every minute details of the project plan before it was submitted to the bank. This time Nana ji was just an onlooker. He had decided not to provide any input. He wanted Sameer to take decisions without discussing with him. Initially Sameer was hesitant but he also understood that his Nanu needed rest, he seemed to be getting tired very fast . People worked late into the evenings and finally, the time had reached when they had to present it to the bank. Sameer and Parth along with Naina went through the documents again just to make sure they had not missed out on anything. It was decided that Sameer would be presenting it and Parth would accompany him. Initially Parth had suggested Naina to go along with Sameer but Naina had strongly disagreed saying he needs to be there with Sameer and not her.

Finally both Sameer and Parth gave in . They also had noticed that Naina was looking a lot tired these days. So , didn’t want to over stress her . By Friday morning , they showcased the project plan and submitted papers for loan approval. Around 2:30 pm , when they reached the office , they saw Naina had placed her on the table and was sleeping.

“Sameer , is she alright??...I mean these days she looks very pale.”

“Hmmm…well…she has no fever or cough …and she is very chirpy as the day ends. Agreed these days mornings she is very moody .”

“Ah , you two are back . How did it go at the bank?”, asked Nana ji enthusiastically

“Went well, loan will be approved.” Responded Parth with confidence while Sameer pondered over Parth’s question on Naina.

“I am glad. Parth, your house owner had called, saying that they won’t be at home for next two weeks , hence he has asked you to get the gate key before they leave for vacation. I think you leave early.

“Oh then I should rush, that guy can be very finicky sometimes. Bye for now Sameer.” Path quickly marched down the stairs and Nanu was about to walk back to his room , that’s when Nana ji saw Naina sleeping.

“Beta Sameer , I have been wanting to ask you. Is she alright??”

“Just now Parth , also asked the same thing…”

“Honestly Nanu, she seem fine but I feel sometimes she becomes a lil too emotional and illogical. She has very less sleep at night too.”

“Hmm…I don’t know , if its right to ask…but is she pregnant ?? because yesterday late night I saw her munching some cookies. ”

“WHAT??!!”

“When your Nani was expecting , she used to do this late night eating. That’s what made me think and she looks pale.”

“Oh..ok…but Nanu , if there was anything like that , then she would have told me .”

“Anyways , lets not assume things. Fix an appointment and meet a doctor. At the moment don’t mention this to anyone. OK.”

“Sure Nanu.”

Nana ji walked back to his cabin. Sameer was standing there looking at his lady sleeping. He walked towards her and very fondly placed his hand on her head.
“Naina, shall we go home??”

“Sameer..home?? why?? What time is it?? And when did you come??”

“Just some time back. I thought will go home a lil early. ”

“Nanu left for home??”

“No , he will come later. Lets leave.”

“Ok…”

For the first time his Naina , did not ask about the presentation. Normally she would be eagerly waiting to hear about any important meeting. Today , she looked pale, tired and lost in thoughts. She walked down the stairs holding the balustrade as if she needed support to walk. Even during the drive back home she was in her own world. As Ramu kaka opened the door, she walked to dinning table and drank a glass of water.

Then gave instruction to Ramu kaka for what needs to be prepared for dinner. He wondered if it was pregnancy or something else. He had to talk to her but one thing that was stopping him was, the fear of her not being pregnant . He knew she wanted a child and was hopping that she would become a mother soon . His fear was after the test if the results were not as expected then she would feel bad.

“Sameer , why are you staring at me?”

“Was I ?? didn’t realise…..”

“Do you want to talk to me about something ??”

“No nothing specific “ he lied .”Come lets go and rest for a while . You look tired .”

“More than tired I am feeling sleepy. Probably had too much to eat for lunch.”

In the room , she sat on the bed as she watched him unbutton his shirt. She knew he wanted to speak to her about something but was hesitant. It was very clear that his mind was far away from his self, else he would never change in the bedroom. He was very methodical in character, he always changed his dress in the dressing area. There has been only one or two times when he has done this. Ironical was the situation as both wanted to talk but at the same time they feared if the conversation would hurt the other. She thought she would rest for a while and ask him to take her out in the evening. This was another thing she had noticed in the past few weeks. He was getting unnecessarily getting possessive and over protective. He would never let her go out alone. All those window shopping and grocery shopping that she used to enjoy with Preethi was all stopped. Someone would be there to chaperone them, but that too once in a while. He always wanted her inside the house or at office right in front of his eyes. She was feeling caged. His possessiveness had crossed all limits when she accidently saw a bill from an investigating agency. She was furious that he didn’t trust her but decided to stay quiet till they were done with the presentation. Now that is done, she had decided she will go out with him in the evening . Besides she also had to speak to him about her doubts. She knew, it was not right to hide from him.

Sameer had changed into his favorite silk cream coloured shirt .This meant he had no plans to go out that day. Seeing this unknowingly Naina’s eyes filled which did not go unnoticed by Sameer. He quickly came and sat next to her and place a hand around her shoulders, “What is it Naina?? Why are you crying ?”

“Remove that shirt. I hate it!!”

“Is that why your eyes filled up??” he quickly unbuttoned his shirt wondering why she was getting so touchy about such simple things. Probably she is pregnant was the response his brain provided.

“Now happy??”

“You want the truth??”

“Yes.”

“NO I AM NOT HAPPY!!”

He didn’t have to be a psychologist to understand that , but why, was the question that was reverberating in his mind. He knew needed to be calm to get to the core of the issue. In the days spent with her , he had learnt that anger never worked with Naina. He had to get on to his softer side of character , else she would push him away from her and once she was in that zone , then to get her back was difficult. He pulled her on to his lap and held her around her stomach and asked “and why is my queen unhappy. What is the reason Naina tell me ”

“NOTHING,”

The proverbial word was out in open setting the stage ready for a war. Now he was even more worried . Women and the word “Nothing ” , was not a great combination. He had learnt it the hard way that ,nothing from a women meant something big and he had to go behind that nothing , else she was going to feel even worse. He took a deep breath, pulled her closer to him, rubbed his nose on her cheek…he knew he was loosing his cool .

“Naina, don’t , please…tell me what is the problem. I am worried .”

“The problem is you don’t trust me. You think I am having a relationship with someone!!” He quickly moved his head away from her, trying to see her face while she threw this unreasonable allegation at him.

“WHAT??!! Are you gone crazy?? How could you even think that ??”

“Then why don’t you let me go out?? Why don’t you take me out ?? and what was that bill from investigating agency doing in our office??”

All he was trying to do was protect her from her own people but he never thought her direction of thought would move into a completely unimaginable zone.

“Naina , what makes you think that I contacted investigation agency to keep an eye on you??”

“Because every time I went out, I felt someone was following me on a bike.”

His mind started working , he didn’t know if he had to tell her the truth or not. Considering her frame of mind and pale look , he wanted her to relax. But now that it had reached to this point, there was no way he could hide from her.

“Exactly !! I put them on task to know who were those people following you. I didn’t doubt you Naina . I was trying to protect you. Don’t you get it ??!!”
“Why would someone follow me??”

“Not sure….thats what I was trying to find out.”

“Then why did you not tell me about it??”

“You seemed already tired and stressed out. I didn’t want to work you out adding more stress. Look at you for heaven’s sake…you look pale but if I ever knew that this was the reason because of which you were stressed and moody then I would have told you for sure.”

“That’s not the reason Sameer. There is something that I need to tell you….I was waiting for the loan papers to be submitted ….”

“What is it Naina??”

“Promise me that , you wont get upset…”

“Promise!! Now tell me !!”

“I missed my period last month and …I think I am pregnant Sameer. I know you are not prepared to be a father but just think about it , if there is a life growing in me, then we shouldn’t think of abortion.”

Today was not his day, his girl had failed to understand him completely. He didn’t understand where the disconnect was . He had always thought, both of them understood each other very well but today it proved wrong. He slowly moved her from his lap , got up and walked towards the window that was overlooking the road. She walked towards him , stood behind him and rested her head on his back.

“Sameer , say something.”

He stood near the window crossed arms , looking at the horizon .He didn’t turn towards her but questioned her in a calm tone “What do you want me to say??Anyways.. You said what you had to…didn’t you ?? I mean how could you even think that I would suggest something like that Naina. We had discussed about it right ?? Then why such thoughts?”

She could sense his back muscles getting stiff . She knew she had hurt him but what could she do, his reaction when they spoke about starting family , wasn’t very encouraging. To top it all , her mood swings were at its peak making her thinking in all possible negative directions.

“So you want this child ??”

He snapped at that question. He quickly turned , held her both forearm tightly. She could feel his fingers were digging deep into her hands.

“I cant believe you still doubt me . Of course yes . I need and will love the baby as much as I love you…probably more than you . ”

“Sorry…you are hurting me Sameer…”

“Huh??”

“Your fingers have made marks on my hand.” That’s when he realized how strongly he had held her. He pulled her on to his chest , wound his hands around her and placed his head on top her head.

“Sorry but sometimes you speak without thinking Naina. It hurts me a lot.” In response she kissed the center of his chest and hugged him tightly.

“I will book an appointment with the doctor today itself . We don’t want to delay any further. By the way when did you start getting this doubt,”

“Few weeks back. My mornings were becoming difficult. I couldn’t stand the smell of your shaving lotion , then these food cravings at night, tiredness..basically I have changed Sameer. ”

“Yes , to nourish a life. Isnt that what we both wanted ??”

“Yes….should we tell Nanu now? Or after doctor confirms?”

“Well…it was Nanu who asked me to take to doctor today as he felt you could be pregnant . ”

“Really ??”

“Yes…do you want to go out in the evening ??”

“No Sameer. We will go to the hospital tomorrow morning and then probably we can go for a drive after that .”

“Sure ??”

“Yes!!”

That night Sameer was not able to sleep. Her head was on his chest as usual. He was extra careful not to move thinking he would wake her up as she has struggled to fall asleep. He kept wondering how it would feel to be a father. The way she told him , he was nearly sure that she was pregnant, so was she. He will need to wait for some months to understand the true essence of fatherhood. As of now he was happy that there was going to be a new addition to their house. The very thought of holding his baby in his hand brought a smile on his face. He slowly adjusted the pillows, got up from the bed. walked towards the window. He moved the curtain to see if his old friend was waiting for him. To his surprise, his Moon was waiting for him . He wanted to shout out his joy but decided to share the good news silently. He felt the light from the moon was a lot shinier than ever. In fact, it was reflecting his joy to the entire world. That’s when he heard her stifle a lil as the light from the world outside was falling on her face. He quickly pulled back the window curtains and walked towards her. His Naina, was going to be a mother – mother of his child. He sat next to her , watched her pale face in the of dim light of the bedroom lamp. The signs of motherhood were slowly enveloping her. He bends down and kissed her forehead lightly. At this she turned towards his side. He wanted to touch her stomach and feel it. He wondered , if Naina could feel the child. He brought out his hand to feel her stomach but quickly decided not to do so. He quietly got up to go, when her hand held his hand and placed it on her stomach.

“Did I wake you up??”

“Yes , when you kept the pillow next to me.”

“Sorry Naina.”

“Its ok Sameer. I know what you are going though. I felt the same when the very thought of pregnancy came into my mind. So , I understand you and if you are thinking , do I get to feel the baby move…my answer is no. Its only that , the presence of that tiny life is making my body react in way it never has.”

“hmmmm…sleep Naina . We will need to get up early. Doctor said that , the urine test has to be done early morning.

“I know… the very thought of getting up in the morning is driving me crazy.”

“Don’t worry. You go to sleep. I am there with you. You are not alone in this. Remember we are partners. I will always be there with you.

“Thank you Sameer.”

Next day morning by 7 :00 AM they were driving to the hospital. Naina, looked even more tired. There were dark circles under her eyes. Since it was a Saturday morning, there weren’t much people on the road.

“Sameer, I feel like throwing up. Could you please park the car to the side of the road.”

“Naina , I wont be able to park it here as it’s the bus stand. What I will do is, will park it a lil ahead near the jogger’s park.”

“Whatever it is please do it fast.”

“Ok dear…”

Sameer quickly drove ahead and parked the vehicle to the side of the road next to a avenue tree. She quickly got out of the car and he came running to her side. He held her and rubbed her back as she threw up.

“We should have taken a bottle of water with us.” She said in a muffled voice while wiping her mouth with the handkerchief .

“Yeah, …somehow it missed my mind. ” He looked around hoping some shops would have opened. “Sameer that Sharma ji’s medical shop is just at the corner . Pls get a bottle of water for me.”

“Naina , you sit in the car . We will go together and buy it. Don’t want to leave you alone in this state.”

“No Sameer, at the moment , will feel suffocated in the car. And don’t worry , in the park there are people, I will be fine. Please go fast.”

He didn’t think much . She was in a pathetic state. She needed water. He quickly ran towards the junction. Naina leaned on the car and was waiting for him , when an white ambassador car stopped ahead of their vehicle. The moment she saw the face of the man coming out of the car , her face paled and the old memory flashed in front of her eyes. It was Varun Agarwal, her Tayiji’s nephew. She knew Sameer would be here soon, so all she had to do was play it cool but she regretted the fact that she didn’t listen to Sameer’s suggestion of driving back with him to the shop.

“Naina, how are you . You seem tired. Looks like your rich husband is not keeping you happy.”

“I am fine. How my husband keeps me is none of your business.”

“See Naina, you were supposed to marry me and look at yourself . You are in a pethatic state. Come with me . I still love you a lot. We can live happily .”

“Are you crazy?? I never liked you. I love Sameer and will love him till my last breath.”

“Really ?? what if he is not there in this world?? ”

“You won’t touch him , as long as I am there. I can promise you that.”

That’s when she noticed two other men was also there in the car. They were now standing outside the car. She looked around and saw some joggers in the park. She was glad she was not alone.

“I am telling you politely to get into the car , if you don’t I will have to use force.” With this statement, he came close to her and grabbed her hand.

A little away , Sameer noticed a familiar white ambassador car, but he couldn’t see the number plate . It wasn’t clear. As he moved closer , he saw Naina being held by a man . He rushed to the spot and tried to free her. Seeing this, the other two men joined the fight and started beating him. He knew he was getting out numbered, but he was trying his best to save his wife . He asked her to run to park and get help. She quickly moved towards the park entry screaming for help but the moment she turned back to look at Sameer, she saw him getting beaten and Varun had a heavy log in his hand. She with out even a second thought, she ran back with. She held on to Varun’s hand trying to stop him from hitting Sameer anymore. By then some jogger’s had noticed the commotion. Varun pushed Naina very hard to run away from there and in that force, she fell face down on to the ground. Sameer was too shocked to move from there. People crowded , and few of them helped him, reach the hospital. She was soon rushed to the theater as she was bleeding. He didn’t know how things had got out of hands . He stood leaning on the wall of the hospital corridor.

“Sameer, beta what happened??”

“I lost the battle forever Nanu.”

“No you havnt Sameer. Not when I am alive. I might be old but I still haven’t lost my strength to fight. I am there with you my boy. What did the doctor say??”

“They took her into the Operation theater and asked me to wait here.”

“You seem to be hurt too.”

“Those are just minor injuries. They applied some medicine. I am fine Nanu but Naina. We don’t know what happened, she was bleeding.”

“Ok…I heard the details…. Parth has gone to the police station. Among the people in the park , there was one of our factory manager ,so we have witness and there are other people too who will help us. Don’t worry those fellows wont go far.

“Did you notice the car number??”

“No, I should have but at that time, all I wanted was to save her. I had asked her to run away Nanu but she came back to help me…to save me and see what happened Nanu. What she doesn’t know is I cant live without her. What is the point Nanu of living a life without her. Why did she have to do that??!!”

“Calm down Sameer. She did what you would have done for her. She will be fine. Don’t worry.” After what seemed like an hour, doctor walked out of the theater room.
“Sameer, she is fine but in deep shock and we are sorry that we couldn’t save the child. She was nearly 5 weeks pregnant.”

On hearing this , he sat on the near by bench. He didn’t know how to react. That morning both of them had got out with so much of hope and happiness in their mind. Fate was playing dirty with him again. Every time he tried to play fair , he was the one who was loosing. Was he not playing it right ?? It was as if he was standing right in the middle of a whirlpool and getting pulled to the bottom. How is going to come out of it and how is going to help her heal.

Doctor knew he was equally affected. The look on his face clearly showed, he was feeling guilty that he couldn’t protect his family. She sat next to him and said ,"I know what you are thinking but at the moment you need to be strong as your wife needs you the most. She knows she lost her child. She didn’t react.. not even a drop of tears came out of her eyes, which isn’t a very good sign. She needs to react and cry. There has to be some reaction. Do you understand what I am saying Sameer??”

“Yes Doctor.”

“It takes time for women to come out of such tragedies and the healing time is different for different individuals.”

“Ok….She wanted this child and was eager to be a mother.”

“I understand , but don’t worry , nothing has happened to any of her internal organs. She will be able to conceive in future, just that…. give it some time. Probably a year or two. Till then don’t think of having a child. Got it ??. ”

“Yes. Can I meet her??”

“Not now , we have moved her to post-operative room . Nothing to worry, just that we prefer to keep her under observation for next 24 hours. You can look through those glass doors.”

“Thank you Doctor.”

After doctor went , Nana ji sat next to him.

“Sameer the worst is over my boy. We need to help her back to life. It will take time and you need to have loads of patience. Every time you think you are losing it , think about your love for her. Only you can get her back. So, stop this brooding, be a man and help your wife. She needs you. You don’t worry about office. Parth and I will manage it. You will have to do this for her. All the while you were worried of loosing her , now that her life his saved , you better steady up and walk on the path to heal her.”

“You are right Nanu.”

He got up and walked towards the post-operative room. He kept telling himself to bury down the pain of loosing his baby for the moment and to concentrate on his wife who is alive. With a heavy heart he peeped through the glass doors, she was lying on the bed , closed eyes. The only sign of life was the machine next to her bed , which showed the graph of her heart beats. He sat on the near by bench wondering how those men got to know about the fact that they were heading towards the hospital. No one knew about it other than Nanu. The information Sameer got was that , these people had left for their village. Looks like that wasn’t the complete truth. He saw Parth and Nanu walking towards him. The look on their face clearly showed that police couldn’t track down the car.

“How is she Sameer?” Asked Parth in a concerned voice.

“Alive ” responded Sameer with a deep breath.

“I know this is not the right time but have to let you know. We have lodged a police compliant , they are yet to track down the car as no one noticed the car number. Since it an ambassador , it gets tricky. ”

“I know…but whoever it is I won’t leave them. They will definitely have to pay. This time they have took a life of someone who wasn’t even born.”

“Sameer. Calm Down. Don’t be impulsive.”

“No Nanu. I am not. This time , they started it but the end will be scripted by me , your grandson, Sameer Jayaprakash Maheshwari.”

Precap : Love and time helps the wound to heal but scares remain forever reminding us of the hard lessons we learn in life.

PS : Not sure if others are facing this issue. For me even when I press like, it doesn't reflect and the update function on the topic , also doesn't work.
