So here's the next part....

It was a nice and bright morning, with hint of chill breeze making the weather a little chilly. Since it's the month of November, Delhi already started to experience the drop in the temperature. Delhi is most famous for its winter season. The chilly weather, amazing hot tea and the most famous Punjabi North-Indian food. These three quite completely sums up all about Delhi. The birds were chirping, early risers were still out taking a stroll or doing their morning workouts.

Except for the family members, most of the relatives were still sleeping. Sameer just opened his eyes, but was shocked seeing the time. It was 7 in the morning. It was a rare scene that he woke up so late. He was usually an early riser and also what people call a fitness freak. He was up till late last night, thinking about everything that happened just in one day. Events from last day flashed in his mind, that he got impressed with an unknown girl for her courage and then how she without knowing the reason lashed out on him and later apologized for her mistake as and when she realized without showing any ego or symptoms of fake feminism. And most importantly how she was there for his Nanu and his father when they were in a problem or most precisely when might have lost them and nobody came forward to help them. He decided before going to sleep that he would thank her personally and also would ask Nanu and try to know more about her.

Thinking this he got up from the bed and went to freshen up and go down to meet Naina. Well he of course didn't show it to anyone as he knew his friends very well. Even though studying in a co-Ed and then in Mumbai and then in London, he never noticed any girls except for the professional reasons. Neither he talked about any of the ones who tried to get close to him to his friends or family. Being from the fashion industry his name was linked to many models and actresses, but still he had a clear image in the media.

He was walking in his own daze, thinking as to how to initiate a conversation with Naina when he bumped into someone. It was none other than his Nanu.

Nanu: Good morning mere sher....

Sameer: Good morning Nanu...

Nanu: kya baat hai aaj tu late ho gaya? Tabiyat to theek hai naa beta?

Sameer: Nii nii Nanu I'm absolutely fine. Don't worry....

Nanu: Accha fir theek hai....Par mujhe aisa kyu lg raa h ki tu mujhse kuchh kehna chahta hai...

Sameer: Ab...vo...actually Nanu..mujhe....

Nanu: Bejhijhak hoke bol.....kya baat h?

Sameer: Actually Nanu....vo mujhe...Naina.....

Nanu: Naina kya?

Sameer: Nanu....aapne kl bataya naa ki how she helped uhh and also dad...Nanu I wanted to ask you...do you know everything about her?

Nanu: Haan beta almost sb kuchhh....kyu kya baat hai?

Sameer: Nii nothing like that...I just wanted to know about her...

Sameer was fidgeting with his fingers.....as he was hell nervous....for he never discussed girls with Nanu or anyone else....Seeing him nervous...Nanu just chuckled...

Nanu: Beta....mai tujhe itna bata skta hun...ki Naina basically Gwalior se hai..uske papa Dr aur mummy financial advisor hai...uska ek chhota bhai hai....abhi school mei h..uske Dada Dadi hain...jo ki retired Dr h...dono hi government job mei the...uske papa ki tarah...

Usne convent se apni schooling ki aur fir Gwalior se hi engineering...computer science mei....aur fir ek saal IT company mei job krne k baad...masters krne Texas chli gyi....wahan usne MBA k baad kuchh waqt job kia...aur fir London mei....abhi kareeb 6 mahine phle hi India wapas aayi h...kehti h family k kareeb rhna chahti hai.....bhagwaan naa kre kuchh oonch neech ho gyi...to vo unke pass jaa ske....

Sameer: Wow Nanu...she sound really strong...aur kl usne apne Chachu k baare mei kuchh kaha tha....

Nanu: Haan beta vo sb sach tha...Naina painting, dancing aur writing mei bahot achhi thi...par usne apne sapnon ko chhod dia...taaki vo apne Chachu ka akhri sapna poora kr ske....

Sameer: I'm sorry Nanu...but now I know for sure she's really strong...

Nanu: Haan beta...par ek baat aur hai...lekin tu wada kr kisi ko nii batayega...

Sameer: Haan Nanu I promise..

Nanu: Actually beta...Naina k mummy papa nii chahte ki vo Delhi mei rahe...as you know it's not that safe...khair unka darr bhi jaayaz hai...

Sameer: Yaa Nanu I totally understand...

Nanu: Isiliye maine pehle socha tha ki use humaare Mumbai waale office mei job offer kru...fir waqt k saath samajh aaya ki vo bahot hi khuddar ldki hai...mera Ehsaan nii legi...isiliye maine kuchh kahan nii...lekin fir...

Sameer: Lekin kya Nanu?

Nanu: Jb usne bataya ki usne kisi ki madad krne k liye apna promotion kho dia...tb maine decide kia...ki use ek mauka dena chahiye...isiliye maine use email bhja ye kehke hi humne uska profile...LinkedIn p dekha...and we want to invite her for an interview...agar vo khud ko saabit kr deti hai to hum use Marketing aur HR department ka head bana denge...tu kya kehta hai? Maine theek kia naa?

Sameer: Haan Nanu ...pehli baat ki mere Nanu kabhi galat ho hi nii skte....and secondly it's a fair process hum uspe koi favour nii krre....

Nanu: Ab tune keh dia to mai sure ho gaya...

Sameer: Nanu uske baare mei kuchh aur bhi h kya?

Nanu: Haan beta hai to sahi..lekin..

Sameer: Lekin kya Nanu?

Nanu: Beta...teri tarah usne bhi apne andar bahot kuchh chhupa rakha hai...behtar hoga ki waqt k saath ye baatein tum dono khud hi jaano... 

Saying this Nanu pats his shoulder and leaves from there smiling and leaving behind a confused Sameer....He shrugs away all the thoughts and runs to find Naina...He searches for her almost everywhere...but couldn't find her...neither he could ask anyone......after running around everywhere he bumps into someone and that is none other than Dadi....

Seeing him Dadi gives him an angry glare and was about to lash out on him...when Mundit comes there along with Rohan....and seeing Rohan, she decides to use this opportunity for her own benefit....but before she could say something...Rohan holds Sameer's hand and takes him along....giving angry glares to Dadi....

After spending some more time with his friends, Sameer makes an excuse of some work...and again leaves for...Mission Naina Dhoondho....He went out towards food stalls checking if he can find her there....Just when he reached there....the sight in front of his eyes...just made bim stood rooted to his place....he was just looking in the same direction with a serene smile on his face....There he saw Naina....playing with a small kid...whom he recognized to be Aman, Pooja didi's son. She was playing with the kid...running around...doing cute antics...he couldn't decide who was cuter...Aman or Naina?

He did not realize for how long he kept adoring her...but his trance was broken by a waiter who by mistake slightly pushed him. The waiter apologized to him...before leaving from there....and that's when he noticed that Pooja didi had taken Aman with her....and Naina was left alone....even she was about to go towards the living room where all others were present....He quickly went to her....

Sameer: Hi!! Good morning 

Naina: Hello Mr. Maheshwari...Good morning 

Sameer: Ye kya Ms. Confident.....aap mujhe Mr. Maheshwari kyun bulaati hain? (making a cute sad pout)

Naina: Ab...mai aapko aur kya bulau? Shyd aapko pata nii hoga...but I've applied for a job in your company.....and moreover.....kahan aap aur kahan...

Sameer: (cutting her in between) Ms. Confident, I call you by this name because I feel that way for you...And I never found you to be kind of a girl who would underestimate herself for any reason...or in front of anyone....

Naina....see I really appreciate you and also I'm proud of you...from whatever little information I've gained about you...and haan main jaanta hun aapki job application ke baare mei...aur yeh bhi ki aapne meri company mei job application confirm kia h...as our company approached you for it...ab CEO hone ka itna fayda to hota hi hai...ki sb pata hota hai... 

Naina was kind of shocked with his wink...but just kept herself composed as to not create any new mess...seeing her all quite Sameer again continued...

Sameer: Achha mujhe ek baat batao? Kya tum Preeti, Rohan, Mundit, Amrita yaa Swati kisi ko bhi aise bulaati ho kya?

Naina: Nii....Preeti to meri dost hai...aur fir baad mei Rohan bhi...aur ab to baaki sbse bhi thodi bahot friendship ho hi gyi hai....

Saying so she looks down...thinking maybe he would get offended as to calling each of his friends' as hers', but not considering him as one...but how can she be friends with him...after all he's The Sameer Maheshwari.....the heir to the biggest industry in India....and also the owner of SJM fashions...which he himself created from a scratch....He had his own share of struggles...for which everyone appreciated him....He proved each and every person wrong...who once said that He would not need to work hard as he was born with a golden spoon.....everyone knew that he had inherited properties from both his grand father and also his late father...who was also a huge businessman....Her trance was broken by his fake coughing...

Sameer: ahem...ahem....

She looked at him...and found him looking at her with questioning eyes and a teasing smile...she felt a bit shy but also relaxed...seeing him a bit normal...

Sameer: Kya yrr Naina...tumne sbse dosti kr li...sivaaye mere? Mujhme konse kaante lage hain...yaa mai konsa sale se shopping krta hun....Jo tmne mujhe dosti k layak bhi nii smjha... 

(Note: During their previous night conversation, where samaina and the entire gang was present....Everyone got to know through Preeti.....that Naina was a shopaholic and a big brand freak....and that is the reason why she had worked in some fashion based company in London...and had loads of contact in European fashion world...and that added to her amazing fashion sense)

Hearing his comment on buying clothes from a sale...she burst into peals of laughter....And Sameer also chuckled seeing her laughing so hard...and somewhere he felt happy seeing her a bit comfortable around himself...

Sameer: Naina...tum hns rii ho mujhpe? 

Naina: Nii Sam..I mean Mr. Maheshwari..vo bs..mai..uhi...

Sameer: Dekha firse Mr. Maheshwari...huh...

Sameer: Achha chalo ek kaam krte hain....let's be friends....ab tum baaki sbki dost to bn hi gyi ho...to meri bhi bn jao...

Naina: Mai? Kaise? Mtlb...vo...mai...aap....

Sameer: Kyun? Kya mai dosti k layak nii hun tumhaari?

Naina: Nii nii...aap aise kyun bol re hain? Mai to sapne mei bhi kabhi nii socha tha...ki aap mujhse dosti krenge....

Sameer: Are..isme kya h..mai b normal insaan hi hun...aur tumse dosti krke meri value badh jayegi....

Moving his hand in front of her...

Sameer: To friends?

Naina thinks for a while...and Sameer was getting impatient.....he felt disheartened thinking that she will not accept his friendship.....But just then Naina softly holds his hand and smiles at him...

Naina: (smiling) friends... 

Sameer: Then Ms. Confident aaj se nii in fact abhi se aap mujhe sirf Sameer bolengi...no Mr.. Maheshwari.... Smjhi aap?

Naina: okk Mr. Mahe...I mean Sameer lekin aap bhi mujhe sirf Naina bulaayenge....manzoor?

Sameer: Manzoor...and Naina thank you for being my friend and accepting my proposal...ab...mera mtlb accepting my friendship proposal...

Naina: uh huh...aap bhool gye...ki dosti mei...

Both: No sorry and No thank you ....

Both starts laughing

He gets super happy...but somehow keeps his emotions in check as to not show them in front of her.....finally they've become friends....Let's see where this friendship will take them....
