CAN BROKEN HEART BE MENDED

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

SAMEER

Sunaina... I was shocked to see her in my office. Why had she joined here? Her father owned a multinational company... She never intended to work & she had made it very clear to me, when I'd asked her about what she wanted to pursue in the future. Then what changed now? I feel I'm overthinking... l will just avoid her as much as possible. I don't want to create unnecessary problems between Naina & me. We've just started a new relationship which is very important to me & I will never let Sunaina ruin it...

Naina was sitting behind me on the bike & I honked twice to break her thoughts as we'd reached her complex. I knew what she was thinking & I needed to talk to her about it too... She didn't say anything after seeing Sunaina in office today. But I know she must be disturbed with her sudden appearance...

As usual I parked my bike & we went to our regular place in the garden. It was already dark so there weren't much people around us. We sat on the bench & she dropped her head on my shoulder & wrapped her hands around my arm. I felt at peace... All the tiredness of the day evaporated in that moment. I closed my eyes breathing in her floral fragrance.

"Sameer... Tum thik toh ho naa?" I smiled at her question, "Mujhe kya hua hai Naina???" "Woh... Mera matlab yeh tha ki Sunaina ka yun achanak aane se tum thik ho na?" I chuckled, "Kya tum bhi Naina... Uske yun achanak aane se mujhe kya hoga?" She thought for a while... "Ummm... Main bas aise hi pooch rahi thi."

I sat facing her & looked in her eyes, "Naina... kisike bhi aane se hamare rishte mein toh koi farak nahi padta naa... Toh fir kyun sochna uss baare mein... Aur jahaan tak mujhe lagta hai, aaj ke hamare behavior ke baad Sunaina kabhi hamare aas paas nahi bhatkegi." She blinked her eyes, but something was still bothering her, I could see it in her eyes.

"Naina... Tum abhi bhi mujhe pareshaan hi dikh rahi ho. Batao kya baat hai? Itna kya soch rahi ho tum?" I was worried about what was going on in her mind. She looked very much disturbed, "Pataa nahi Sameer... Par mujhe yun Sunaina ka achanak se hamari zindagi mein wapis aana thik nahi lag raha... Uske aas paas aate hi ekdum negative vibes aane lagte hai. Usne bhale hi kaha ki woh timepass karne aayi hai. Par mujhe poora yakin hai ki woh kuch toh gadbad karegi... I'm not comfortable with her being around us..."

I understood what Naina wanted to say & somewhere I too had a feeling that Sunaina's arrival would affect our lives... "Naina... Chodo na uski baatein... tum hamare baare mein baat karo na... Ummmm... Kal kya banaogi mere liye???" I was trying to distract her & it was working as her eyes lit immediately, "Main kyun bataun tumhe? Kal hi dekh lena tiffin mein..."

"Naina... Aisa karogi apne Sameer ke saath... Batao na please..." I pouted & her eyes moved involuntarily towards my lips, "Tum na bohot distract karte ho mujhe. Main nahi bataungi tumhe..." I wanted to tease her a little, "Achaaa... Main tumhe distract karta hun... Woh kaise bhala???" I moved closer to her & she squinted her eyes at me... "Tum na bohot boore ho... Ab ghar jao... Nanu wait kar rahe honge dinner ke liye..."

"Chala jaunga... Bas mujhe bataa do ki main kaise distract karta hun tumhe. Fir chala jaunga main..." She closed her eyes & I looked around to check if anyone was there... Seeing no one around, I leaned & placed my lips on hers... Her eyes were still closed & she moaned a little as I kissed her passionately.

We broke our kiss when we heard a loud honk somewhere near us... I whispered in her ear, "Mujhe pataa hai tum kaise distract hoti ho, isliye toh jaan bujhkar pout karta hun..." She opened her eyes instantly & punched me lightly on my chest, "Tum naa kabhi nahi sudhroge..." We both laughed & I hugged her one last time & dropped her at the elevator.

"Sameer..." "Haaannn... haaannn... Pataa hai Naina... Main bike sambhal kar chalaunga... Ghar pohochte hi tumhe message kar dunga... Khaana bhi thik se khaa lunga... Aur sone se pehle tumhe call kar dunga... Yahi kehna tha na tumhe???" She raised her eyebrows, "Nahi toh... Mujhe kuch aur kehna tha..."

"Aur kya kehna tha Naina???" I was confused as these were the exact words that she used to say whenever I dropped her at the elevator... "I Love You Sameer Very Very Much..." And she kissed me on my cheek & rushed into the waiting elevator as usual... "I Love You Too Jaan..." I said as the elevator doors closed... "Paagal ladki..." I said murmuring to myself & left from there.

When I reached home, Ramdhari informed me that Nanu had called & informed that he would come in an hour. Till then I freshened up & waited for Nanu... He came exactly after an hour... He too freshened up & we had our dinner discussing our day... I told him about Sunaina's joining our company suddenly as an intern. He was surprised but didn't comment on it & I too didn't want to talk about her so we swiftly changed the topic.

"Achha Sameer... Mujhe ek bohot important meeting attend karne ke liye Australia jaana padega iss hafte... mujhe shayad wahan kuch hafte rukna bhi pade... Toh tum yahaan akele reh loge na... Tum aisa karna ki Rahu-Ketu ko yahin rehne bula lena jab tak main wapis na aa jaun... Chalega na beta..."

"Nanu... Aapko na apni sehat ka dhyaan rakhne ki zarurat hai... Australia jaana important hai kya Nanu... Aap kisi aur ko bhej dijiye na aapki jagah. Aap wahan akele kaise sambhalenge khudko..." He chuckled, "Sameer... Agar meeting important naa hoti toh main nahi jaata Australia... Par jaana padega beta... Par tum fikar mat karo... Munshiji bhi mere saath honge... Aur hamare advocate bhi... Waise bhi yeh mera aakhri tour hoga. Agle mahine se waise bhi tum hamari company join kar loge... Fir main aaram se retirement le lunga aur tum sambhaal lena company ko..."

"Aisa kaise Nanu... Aapko main retire hone nahi dunga. Bhale hi maine kisi aur company mein job karke experience liya ho, par jab main hamari Maheshwari Industries join karunga toh mujhe aapki guidance ki bohot zarurat hogi. Aapko mujhe sab soupne se pehle sab acche se sikhane bhi padega... So, no retirement till then Nanu..." He laughed, "Matlab tu office mein bhi mera peecha nahi chodega..." I joined his teasing, "Kabhi nahi chodunga Nanu..."

I still had to talk to Nanu about Naina's joining our office. I thought of doing that after he came back from his Australia trip. We finished our dinner & retired to our rooms. When I reached my room, my mobile started to ring & I knew that Naina would be calling as it was already too late than usual... I picked up the call & told her about Nanu's late arrival & all the conversation that I had with him... Even she was a little worried about Nanu's health as he would be in Australia for few weeks.

We talked some more & I was about to disconnect the call, when I heard the song playing... How could I forget that it was Naina's turn today...?

Main jaan ye vaar doon...
Har jeet bhi haar doon...
Keemat ho koi tujhe...
Beinteha pyaar doon...

Saari hadein maine meri...
Ab maine tod di...
Dekar mujhe pataa...
Awaargi ban gaye...

Haan hasi ban gaye...
Haan nami ban gaye...
Tum mere aasmaan...
Meri zameen ban gaye...

We ended the call with our sweet goodnight kisses & I love You...

I slept with a smile on my face thinking about Naina...

Days passed quickly... I & Naina had got into a routine now. Picking her & dropping her home. Our coffee times & lunch breaks together... Even our friends were enjoying their love lives... My best friends too revealed their feelings to their ladies & we were all happy & content with it.

Sunaina tried a lot to join our group but was unsuccessful. She wasn't able to get through us. Naina stayed away from her & conversed less whenever she was around. I knew Naina was not comfortable with Sunaina's presence around us & I couldn't do anything about it.

There were just three days left for Naina's birthday... I already had planned a surprise party for her with the help of our gang. I just needed to think about a suitable gift for my charming lady. All the other preparations were already done. I would make this birthday and every other birthday from now on very memorable for her... I need a little help from our parents too & I'm sure that they will be happy to do that...

I called up mummy immediately, "Helloo mummy... Main Sameer bol raha hun. Mujhe aapki aur papa ki thodi help chahiye thi. Naina ka birthday aa raha hai. Toh bas uske liye party organise ki hai. Isliye thodi help chahiye..." "Sameer beta... bolo kya help chahiye hai tujhe... hum zaroor help karenge tumhari..."

I told her about my surprise party & what help I needed from them... She was very happy after listening to my plans & immediately was ready to help. I even asked her to help with the birthday gift, but she denied that, "Sameer... Tumhari Naina ke liye birthday gift toh tumhe apne aap hi leni hogi. Usme hum tumhari help nahi karenge... Main bas itna keh sakti hun ki jo bhi gift loge woh aisi ho jisse Naina ko khushi mile, aisi koi gift jo aaj tak kisine na di ho... Waise tumhara uski zindagi mein aana hi uske liye ek bada gift hai... Beta jo bhi karo poore dil se karna. Dil ki baat hamesha dil tak pohonch hi jaati hai..."

We ended the call after some time. What gift should I give her that will make her happier??? I was thinking for somethings when I heard the most irritating voice, "Ummm... Hii... Sameer... If you don't mind can you just listen to me for few minutes... I want to talk to you... Please manaa mat karna aaj... Bohot dinon se try kar rahi hun... Please ek aakhri baar sunlo..."

What did Sunaina want to talk to me now? I checked the time on my laptop. There was some time left for the working hours to be over. I thought of giving her a chance to talk this last time so that she won't disturb me again... "Bolo Sunaina... Kya baat karni hai tumhe??? Aur please jaldi karna... Mujhe aur bhi important kaam hai..."

I was sitting in the conference room where I was completing a very important project... I don't know how come she knew that I was here. She broke my thoughts, "Sameer... Dekho mujhe pataa hai ki maine tumhara dil toda tha pehle... Tum mujhse kitna pyaar karte the. Aur maine bina soche samje tumhe hurt kar diya. Mujhse bohot badi galti ho gayi thi Sameer ki maine tumhe chodkar uss Kartik ko choose kiya. Tumne kitna samjhaya tha mujhe Kartik ke baare mein, par maine tumhari ek nahi suni... I'm really sorry Sameer... Mujhe tumhe aise hurt nahi karna chahiye tha, tumhara dil aise nahi todna chahiye tha... I'm regretting now... Sameer... Kya tum mujhe aur ek mauka de sakte ho. Main sab thik kar dungi..."

This woman was getting on my nerves now & the control on my temper was snapping... she just needed to shut up now. I don't want to talk about the past. The truth is that I don't want to talk with her..."Kaise thik karogi Sunaina aur kya thik karna hai tumhe???" She came a little towards me & I remained seated on the chair.

"Sameer... Tum Naina ko chod do... Woh tumhare laayak nahi hai... She doesn't match your status... You're so rich & handsome. And she is so middle class. There is no comparison between you two. Aur main... Main rich hun... Beautiful hun... Tumhare status ki bhi hun... We look so good together... Just leave Naina... Tum mujhse pyaar karte the na fir yeh Naina kahan se beech mein aa gayi... Please Sameer... Break up with her & be mine... I will give you whatever you want... I'm all yours Sameer..."

I fisted my hands to control myself from hitting this cheap woman... I was terrified with the way she was talking about my Naina... The control on my anger finally snapped, "Tumhara dimaag toh thik hai na Sunaina... Kya bakwaas kar rahi ho... Main Naina se bohot pyaar karta hun... Agar bhagwan bhi aakar kahe na usse chodne ko, tab bhi main Naina ko nahi chodunga... Aur kya kaha tumne ki main tumse pyaar karta tha... Toh suno Sunaina... Sach toh yeh hai ki main tumse koi pyaar vyaar nahi karta tha... Woh sab sirf attraction tha... Pyaar kya hota hai woh mujhe Naina ne bas ek hafte mein sikha diya... Naina ke aane ke baad mujhe mehsoos hua ki pyaar kya hota hai... Aur tum status ki baat kar rahi thi na... Toh yeh bhi suno ki bhale hi Naina ek middle class family se hai par uske dil se woh bohot ameer hai... Tumse bhi zyada ameer... Tumne kya kahaa ki Naina mere laayak nahi hai... Sach toh yeh hai ki tum mere laayak nahi ho, woh tumhari tarah girgit ki tarah rang nahi badalti aur na woh kisiko jaan bujhkar hurt karti hai. Main meri Naina se bohot pyaar karta hun... Samjhi tum... Iske aage kabhi mujhe Naina ko chodne ki baat mat kehna. Infact tum mujhse aage se baat karne ki koshish bhi mat karna... Just stay away from me... Got it..."

I straight away left from there without even glancing at her. As I opened the door, I stood rooted to the spot. Naina was standing at the door with teary eyes... I instantly pulled her inside the conference room & crushed her in my arms... She didn't cry but I could feel her erratic heartbeats... She took few deep breaths & slowly withdrew from our hug.

Naina moved confidently towards Sunaina who was still present in the conference room... "Sunaina... Main tumhe bilkul nahi jaanti. Jitna bhi jaana hai woh Sameer ne hi bataaya hai. Jab mujhe pataa chalaa tha ki tumne Sameer ka dil toda tha, tab mujhe tum par bohot gussa aaya tha... Main tab yeh sochti thi ki koi ladki aise kaise Sameer jaise acche ladke ka dil tod sakti hai. But I'm thankful to you Sunaina... Agar tum Sameer ko hurt nahi karti, uska dil nahi todti, toh shayad woh meri zindagi mein kabhi nahi aata. Mujhe mera pyaar nahi milta... Mera pyaar shayad ek tarfa hi reh jaata... So, Thank you so much Sunaina... Mujhe mere pyaar se milane ke liye..."

I don't know what Naina was planning to do. I stood next to her & held her hand supporting her in whatever she wanted to do. My Naina continued, "Now let's get back to business... Tumhare aur Sameer ke beech kuch tha hi nahi toh main tum dono ke beech mein kaise aayi Sunaina... Tum toh Kartik se pyaar karti thi na tab. The truth is that Sunaina that you left Kartik not because he cheated on you, but because you got to know that Sameer is richer than Kartik..."

Sunaina stood there in stunned silence listening to my Naina devi... "Tumhe lagaa ki Sameer toh ekdum bhola bhala hai aur tumhare pyaar mein bhi hai, toh do chaar pyaar bhari baatein bol dungi toh apne aap mere jhaanse mein aa jaayega... Kyun Sunaina... Yahi soch kar tumne yahaan internship join ki na... But your plan failed because of me... Hai naa???"

I could see Sunaina's face twitching in anger but no words came out of her mouth... She knew whatever Naina said was true... "Sunaina... Mujhe kaise pataa chala yeh sab, kahaan se pata chalaa... Yeh important nahi hai... Important yeh hai ki main aur Sameer ek dusre se bohot pyaar karte hai... Aur tum hamare beech mein aa rahi ho. Last time jab tumne Sameer ko hurt kiya tha tab woh akela tha... Par aaj woh bilkul akela nahi hai... Main hun uske saath..."

Naina took two steps towards Sunaina, "Agar iss baar Sameer yaa hum mein se kisi ko bhi hurt karne ki koshish ki na tumne, toh main, Naina Agarwal, tumhe kahin ka nahin chodungi... Tumhari bhalaai issi mein hai ki tum humse aur khaas karke Sameer se durr rehna... Yeh main pehli aur aakhri baar keh rahi hun, waapis nahi bolungi... Samjhi tum..."

Sunaina huffed in anger & left from there, "Dekh lungi tumhe main Naina..." Naina chuckled, "Haannn... Haannn... Dekh lena..." I was proud of my Naina... I didn't know that she was so protective about me... She was the lioness... I wished that I would've recorded all this & heard it later again...

Once Sunaina left, I pulled my lady love in my arms again & smashed her lips with an intensity that I was afraid of hurting her with my rough kiss... but she surprised me by reciprocating the kiss with an equal fervour... We didn't care if anyone would walk in there... We remained in each other's arms for a while.

My mobile rang breaking our love bubble, "Hello... Ummm... Munna... Haaannn abhi aata hun... Tum log aise karo mujhe directly parking lot mein hi milo... Main aata hun paanch minute mein." I disconnected the call & focused on my Naina.

"Naina... tum apni bag lekar directly niche jao aur main bhi apni bag lekar aata hun tab tak..." "Thik hai Sameer... Parking lot mein milte hai... Aur suno... Abhi jo bhi hua, usse kisi ko bataane ki zarurat nahi hai..." I nodded & we left the conference room.

I dropped Naina home & left soon... Nanu was in Australia & Munna-Pandit were staying with me... So, we didn't spend our regular time in the garden... When I reached home, I saw Munna sitting on the couch watching news on the television. I asked, "Pandit nahi aaya ab tak?" "Nahi Sameer... Woh Preeti ko drop karne gaya hai na, shayad traffic mein phas gaya hoga. Aa jaayega thodi der mein. Tab tak tu fresh ho ja..."

I went to my room & freshened up. When I came downstairs, Pandit arrived just then. He too freshened up & we sat with our coffees talking about our work. I told them few days ago that we would be joining "Maheshwari Industries" next month. We'd already submitted our resignation letters in our present office. We were just serving the notice period of one month now.

We were discussing some things related with work, when my mobile chimed with some messages... I thought it would be from Naina... but when I opened WhatsApp, I saw Sunaina's messages... She'd sent some images. I wasn't interested in anything that she was sending me. So, I didn't bother to open her chat. My phone chimed again but I didn't look at it.

Munna teased me, "Kya messages bheje hai Bhabhi ne??? Jo tu mobile ko haath bhi nahi lagaa raha hamare saamne. Agar kuch personal hai toh bataa de, hum chale jaate hai yahaan se... Itni privacy toh hum de hi sakte hai... Waise bhi hamari wajah se tum dono ko garden mein baithne nahi milta naa..." "Sahi kaha Chenu... Hum jaate hai. Tu Bhabhi se baat kar le..."

I was on the verge of blasting but somehow controlled my temper, "Naina ke messages nahi hai yaar... Toh tang mat karo..." They panicked a little with my irritated voice & asked me, "Kya baat hai Sameer? Kon messages bhej raha hai? Aur tu itna gusse kyun mein hai?" I didn't even want to take her name so I handed my mobile to Munna. He opened WhatsApp & scrunched his nose seeing the name... "Yeh kyun itne messages bhej rahi hai tujhe??? Ab kya chahiye hai isse?"

I remembered that Naina had told me not to disclose whatever happened today with Sunaina to anyone. So, I said, "Pataa nahi kyun itne messages kar rahi hai? Usse samaj nahi aata shayad ki mujhe usse baat nahi karni. Itna ignore karte hai hum usse... Fir bhi kyun itna irritate karti hai?"

Munna & Pandit nodded in understanding & Munna handed me my phone back. I turned my mobile on silent mode & kept it on the table. We diverted our minds by discussing about Naina's surprise party plans... Everything was going as per my plan. Just one thing was left... Naina's Birthday Gift... I needed to think something fast. I didn't have much time now. Just two days were left now...

After having dinner, we all got busy in talking to our better halves on the video calls... Munna was in the living room & Pandit was in my room... I was in Nanu's room... "Naina... tumne khaana khaaya?" "Haannn Sameer... Aur tum sab ne kha liya na thik se? Aur yeh Munna-Pandit kahaan hai??? Dikhaayi nahi de rahe."

I laughed, "Woh dono bhi apni girlfriend se baat kar rahe hai... Munna living room mein hai aur Pandit mere room mein. Abhi sabko thodi toh privacy chahiye na... Kyun sahi kaha na???" She too laughed, "Haannn bilkul... Waise tum kahaan ho???" "Main Nanu ke room mein hun..."

"Accha... Sameer... Nanu se tumhari baat toh hoti hai naa? Kaise hai Nanu? Unki tabiyat thik hai na wahaan? Davaai lete hai na time par?" I was happy seeing her genuine concern about Nanu. "Naina... Nanu thik hai aur Munshiji hai unke saath unki tabiyat ka dhyaan rakhne ke liye... Don't worry... He is fine there..." And then I told her about Sunaina's messages... "Sameer... tumne messages padhe kya? Kya likha hai usne?" I told her that I hadn't opened her chat as I don't want to talk to her.

Naina didn't say anything but she asked me if I mentioned anything about todays incidence to my best friends. "Naina... Tumne hi toh manaa kiya tha isliye nahi bataaya unn dono ko kuch. Sach kahun Naina... Mujhe accha nahi lag raha yeh sab chupaa kar. Maine aaj tak koi bhi baat nahi chupaayi hai unn dono se... Toh abhi na thoda guilty sa feel ho raha hai..."

"Main jaanti hun Sameer... Par agar tumne unhe bataa diya toh faltu ka problem ho jaayega. Tum dono ko jaante ho na... Mujhse jyaada pyaar karte hai tumse... Chodenge nahi uss Sunaina ko. Jitna sunana tha woh maine suna diya na toh kyun iss topic ko khinchna? Chodo ab... Hum kyun hamara itna kimti time uss Sunaina par waste kar rahe hai. Late bhi ho gaya hai Sameer... Ab so jao, subah jaldi bhi uthna hai na..."

"Thik hai... Par usse pehle gaana toh sunlo... Aaj mera turn hai na..." I played the song on my Walkman & she smiled hearing the song... blushing a little & I was happy seeing the colour rising on her face...

Tu rang hai mera...
Noor hai tu...
Aadat teri mujhe...
Fitoor hai tu...
Fitoor hai tu...

Tere saath mein ho subah...
Tuhi sabse pehle ho haan...
Raaton mein baatein teri...
Na neend kho de jagah...

Tere paas har pal rahun...
Yahi arzoo hain meri...
Saanson mein teri mehak...
Ho hathon mein hath tera...

Mere seene ki dhadkan hai tu bann gaya...

Mahiya mere mahi...
Jaaniya dil jaani...
Mahiya mere mahi...
Jaaniya dil jaani...

Kinna sona tu sona tu haan...

Tu hi toh rehbar hai...
Tu hi hai mera rehnuma...
Tu hi muqadar hai...
Tu hi hai naseeb mera...

Tujhko dekhe bina....
Jee jeh lagta nahi...
Tujhko dekhne se...
Aankhen thakthi nahi...
Hain kahan koi tujh sa nazara yahaan...

Mahiya mere maahi...
Jaaniya dil jaani...
Mahiya mere maahi...
Jaaniya dil jaani...

Kinna sohna tu sohna tu haan...

Kinna sona tu sona tu haan...
Kinna sona tu sona tu haan...

Tu hai hifazat hain...
Tu hi hai mera aasra...
Teri innayat hai...
Tujhse mila hai khuma...

Har dua mein tujhko main maangu sadaa...
Rab se hai har ghadi...
Bas yaheen iltijha...
Tu meri zindagi mein hamesha rahe...

Mahiya mere mahi...
Jaaniya dil jaani...
Mahiya mere mahi...
Jaaniya dil jaani...

Kinna sona tu sona tu haan...

Kinna sona tu sona tu haan...
Kinna sona tu sona tu haan...

"We listened to the whole song looking at each other on the phone screen... I was missing her so much... I wished of her being here right now in my arms... But I would've to wait for that...

"I miss you Naina..." "I miss you too Sameer... ab so jao... Kal subah milenge... Goodnight..." "Thik hai... Goodnight Jaan... Main toh tumse abhi thodi der mein milunga..." "Paagal ho kya Sameer... bohot late ho gaya hai... Koi zarurat nahi hai yahaan aane ki... Main kaise aaungi baahar... Mummy-papa kya sochenge... tum naa..."

"Arey meri Naina devi... Meri poori baat toh sunn lo pehle, bas shuru ho gayi... Main yeh keh raha tha ki main tumse thodi der mein mere sapnon mein milunga..." Saying that, I winked & she gave me a fake glare... "Goodnight..." And she disconnected the call... I instantly got her message, "Main bhi..." I smiled at her antics & sent her lots of kissing emojis...

I went back to my room where Munna & Pandit were waiting for me. We all talked for a while & dozed off...
