They all came back to guest house.... Sameer turned to girls' room when Pandit shouts, "Sameer vahaan kahaan ja raha hai, hall toh iss taraf hai.." he replied, "yaar voh dekh kar aata hun ki ladkiyaan uthi ki nahin.. kahin so nahin rahi abhi tak....unhein pata bhi hai ki nahin..." Pandit too accompany him , "chal mein bhi chalta hun tere saath"... they reached the corridor and Sameer was about to knock on girl's door when Pandit shout, " Sameer.... dekh hamare kamre ka darwaja khula huya hai aur andar se kuchh awaaje bhi aa rahi hai... lagta hai Rohan lock karna bhool gaya tha...... mein toh andar nahin jaaunga, koi chor vor hua toh.. aur agar bhoot hua toh"... he came towards Pandit, "abey paagal hai kya... kitna darta hai.. ruk mein dekhta hun... saare namune mujhe hi mile hai..." irritatingly he moved to his room, door was slightly ajar, he peeked inside... the moment he steps in a little Pandit pushed him inside and close the door from outside...

Sameer turned and bang on the door, "Pandit ab kya majaak hai yaar... darwaja khol mujhe Naina se milne jaana hai... subah se tum logon ne pareshaan kar rakha hai... dekh darwaja khol de varna mujhse bura koi nahin hoga... Pandit".. he keeps banging on the door but no response... suddenly he hears a pleasantly soothing voice, "agar milna hai toh baahar jaane ki kya jarurat hai... pichhe mudo aur mil lo".... He gets shocked and turned and freeze on the scene in front of him...

Naina was standing right in front of him... he freeze at the moment... enthralled in her beauty... her gorgeous smile, her lovely eyes made his heart like a flip, it was sparkling like a twinkling star with a tint of attraction and he felt like a magnetic force towards her ...... he took a step ahead but suddenly he stopped realizing his surrounding and stunned.... his whole room was lit with beautiful colored earthen diyas, few heart shape balloons of red and white color were lying on the floor, the dim light from the side lamp partially falling on her face... giving a divine look to her lovely face....

Naina took slow steps coming close to him and snapped her finger in front of his face, bringing him back to reality, called him sweetly, "Sameer... Sameer... kahaan kho gaye".... He turned to her and lost in her eternally beautiful face and smile... Sameer stood bewildered and his heart, mind, soul and everything refused to believe .... that yes, the moment has come for which he was waiting for so long... he was amazed and lost... didn't utter a single word....

Naina looked down and said, "Sorry mujhe laga tumhein achchha lagega... par koi baat nahin..." she takes a step ahead towards the door when he holds her hand and stop her... he turned her by holding her shoulder... She turned still looking down... "Naina.. Naina yeh sach mein bahut khoobsurat hai... yeh sab tumne kiya... mere liye... par kyun, mujhe kuchh samajh nahin aa raha"... he said playfully to make her nervous...

Naina looked at him and smiled, feeling nervously she said, "voh... voh Sameer.. voh mujhe tumse kuchh kehna tha.. par" she again lowered her eyes feeling shy; words chocked in her throat.. she swallowed, clenching her fists she holds her dress from side...

He lifts her face by keeping his finger on her chin, "toh bolo... kya kehna hai... par meri aankhon mein dekh kar.. aise najaren jhuka kar nahin"...

She gets more nervous, "Sameer... voh mujhe kehna tha... ki.. voh... voh us din tumne kaha tha na ... us din voh"... he controlled his laughter and to tease her more, "maine... maine kya kaha tha.. kab ki baat kar rahi ho Naina"... she tried again to make him remember, "arey baba voh us din ... ground mein... tumne kaha tha naa... voh.. ab kaise bataau... please yaad karo na"....

Sameer (dancing in his heart) enjoying her confusion, " kya bol rahi ho... hum toh kitni baatein karte hai... ab sab toh nahin yaad rah sakti na... thoda khul ke bataaogi toh samajh aayega na" he played along in a flirty tone with a glint in his eyes.

Naina thinking in her mind : vaise toh saara din I love you I love you kehta rehta hai aur aaj isse kuchh yaad nahin ... idiot... samjhata kyun nahin.. aur mein bhi toh nalayak hi hun... Preeti ne sahi kaha tha mujhse kuchh nahin hoga... kitni practice ki thi ki jaate hi bol dungi, par ab dekho jubaan hi nahin khul rahi isake saamne..... better hota ki notes bana laati aur pad kar suna deti... oh shit Naina, kya bakwaas kar rahi hai... seriously Notes..... are you crazy....duffer" she slapped mentally on her forehead..

Naina back to reality, said with weak smile, "koi baat nahin Sameer... hum kisi aur din baat kar lenge..... ab mein chalti hun"... Sameer hold her hand more firmly, came close to her, bent his head near her face, "tumhein kya laga, mujhe kuchh samajh nahin aa raha.. I know ki tum kya bolna chahti ho... par mein phir bhi tumse sunana chahta hun, jiska mujhe itane time se intzaar tha.. please ab kah bhi do.. kitna tadpaogi"... his voice was filled with his emotions which he was keeping in his heart for so long...

She took few steps back nervously and in no seconds Naina was pinned to the wall. Her breathe hitched as his dark eyes were directly looking into her eyes dangerously. Before she even blinked he placed his hands on either side of her face on the wall caging her in between them. He stopped himself a few inches from hers, but it was close enough for their breathes to mingle, he asked in husky voice, "Ab bhi nahin bologi apne dil ki baat, Naina?" Sameer bends more on to her face and smirking at her nervousness. She tried to free herself from his trap but all in vain. The position she was in causing havoc in her heart.

Naina swallowed a big lump down, blood rushes to her cheeks, she slowly lifts her eyes and looked into his eyes and said "Sameer.. I ... I Love You Sameer" ... Sameer completely lost in her, without even blinking he huskily replied, "I love You too Naina" ... his heart swelled up at her confession... 💖💕

Sameer held her hand in his hand lovingly, neither his hand, nor his mind stopped him this time to do so as if it was his right after listening the three magical word from his love... suddenly something strike in his mind and he took one step back and saw her from tip to toe... still holding her hand, he said, "Naina aaj tum bahut sundar lag rahi ho.. bilkul mere sapno ki pari jaisi... jab se maine tumhe chaha hai hamesha isi roop mein tum roj mere sapno mein aati thi aur aaj dekho mera sapna, meri haqeeqat bankar mere saamne khada hai... I love you so much"..

Sameer was so mesmerized by her beauty that he had almost forgotten everything for a while. Naina had tears and a warm smile on her lips.

Tum hakiqat nahi ho hasrat ho, Jo mile khwaab mein wahi daulat ho,

Kis liye dekhti ho aaina, Tum toh khuda se bhi jyada Khubsurat ho

She was wearing plain white chiffon suit with red bandhani dupaata, her long tresses were flowing freely, a small red dot bindi on her forehead, one hand filled with red and white bangles, wrist watch in other hand gifted by Sameer, golden jhumki's in her ears (given by Nanu), kohl in her dark eyes making it more shining, first time she applied pink gloss on her lips alluring him more than anything in this world...

They stood seeing each other for some time then surprisingly he asked, " Naina, yeh sab.. I mean .. tum iss tarah se taiyar aur yeh sab decoration... yeh sab kab kiya tumne"...

Naina smiled, "akele nahin sab ne mil kar kiya hai... aur yeh dress, mujhe pata hai yeh tumhari favorite hai... isiliye aaj pehni hai..."

He gets shocked on revelation that all were involved in this planning. A small smile crept on her face seeing him in confusion, "kaisa laga surprise"... he replied in husky voice holding his heart from his one hand "jaan le li" the streak of crimson covered her entire face....

Sameer was sitting on the parapet of balcony whereas Naina was standing near him, holding his hand.. "Naina ek baat bataau, hasogi toh nahin" Naina asked raising her brows, he said, "tumhein pata hai jab hum Preeti ke birthday ka gift lene gaye the na tab maine bhi same aisa hi dupatta tumhare liye kharida tha par dene ki himmat hi nahin hui kabhi"... she silently looked at his face and then burst into laughter clutching her stomach, Sameer firstly surprised seeing her laughing like mad than gave an annoyed look, he pouted "ek toh mere gift ka poppat ho gaya aur tum aise hans rahi ho.. bada maza aa raha hai na tumhein..."

Naina controlled herself and smack on his forehead, "buddhu yeh wahi dupatta hai, jo tum mere liye laaye the, aur yeh chudiyaan bhi.. aaj maine sab tumhari pasand ka hi toh pehna hai.. tum dekhna chahte the na mujhe is tarah se taiyar huye .. white suit with red dupatta, haathon mein chudiyan".... his mouth wide opened in surprise... she hold her one ear cutely and said, "Sorry... par tumhein surprise dena tha na toh tumhein bataye bina hi dupatta aur chudiyaan pahan li"... he smiled and keep her hand down and asked naughtily, "achchha ji toh meri jasusi ki jaa rahi thi, voh bhi mujhe bina bataye... ab jaldi se bataao yeh sab kaise kiya... tumhein kaise pata laga mere sapne ke baare mein, ki mein kya chahta hun, maine toh kabhi kisi ko nahin bataya"...

She smiled, "voh jab tum bimaar huye the aur mein tumhare ghar aayi thi na tab voh actually mujhe tumhare liye towel chahiye tha toh maine tumhari cupboard kholi thi, sorry I know its bad manners but kya karti uss waqt majboori thi.. tabhi mere haath se ek packet niche gira, uthaaya toh dekha usmein ek diary, meri kuchh tasveerein aur bahut saara saamaan rakha tha... bas thodi si dairy padi thi, par tumhein pata na chale isliye maine usse vaise hi vaapas rakh diya tha...

He surprisingly asked, "toh phir aaj kaise .. yeh sab toh ghar par hi tha, mein apne saath toh nahin laaya tha kuchh bhi"..

She smirks naughtily, said, "voh Rohan se kah kar mangwaya tha" Sameer surprised more, "matlab yeh sab taiyari tumne yahaan aane se pehle hi kar li thi, aur mujhe kisi ne bataaya bhi nahin.. kaash mujhe pata hota toh mein bhi kuchh tumhare liye plan kar pata... college mein jab propose kiya tab bhi kuchh planned nahin tha bas aise hi achanak ek din apne dil ki baat kah di aur aaj bhi dekho.. mein toh tumhare liye kuchh kar hi nahin paaya" he sulked on his failure to make this day more memorable for her..

Naina put her hand on his cheeks and looked into his eyes, "tum mere saath ho, mere paas ho, mujhe usase jyada kuchh nahin chaahiye Sameer... maine vaise bhi bahut sataya hai tumhein, kitna intzaar karwaya par tumne kabhi koi shikayat nahin ki, hamesha mera saath diya muskurate huye... tumhari ye muskurahat hi mere liye anmol hai, isase jyada mujhe aur kya chaahiye"... he held her hand and kissed on her palm... "par tum se jyada anmol kuchh nahin hai mere liye... tum meri zindagi ho Naina, mere jeene ki wajah.... kabhi khul kar nahin bata paya ki kya maayne rakhti ho tum mere liye.. par sach bohot pyaar karta hun tumhein...." tear flows down from their eyes with a contented smile on their lips.... "tumhara pyaar tumhari aankhon se dikhta hai Sameer, aur iss pyaar ko shabdon ki jarurat bhi nahin" she replied to soothe him..

Naina moved a bit to go when he held her hand, "kahaan ja rahi ho.. please abhi nahin", she laughed and said, "kahin nahin ja rahi... tumhein chhod kar jaaungi bhi kahaan" ... she came back in room followed by him, picked up a packet from side table and give it to Sameer, he looked confused and asked, "ab yeh kya hai.. ek aur surprise" Naina opened the packet and pull out a handmade sweater in blue shade (his favorite color)... "tumhare liye.. pata nahin kaisa bana hoga, pehli baar banaya hai"... she placed the sweater on his chest to check the measurement.. he took it in his hands and kissed it, placing it near to his heart, "ismein tumhare pyaar ki garmahat hai, ise toh mein hamesha apne seene se laga kar rakhunga" he paused for a moment and said, "sorry Naina, mein toh tumhare liye kuchh bhi nahin laaya".. she smiled and pull another packet and give it to him and gesture him to open it... he opened it and found all gifts which he had bought till date for her but didn't get courage to give her... "ab tum yeh sab mujhe de sakte ho.. theek hai?" she said seeing him smiling to see his things..

He showed her all gifts one by one .... "Naina yeh teddy bear maine 11th class mein kharida tha, socha tha farewell wale din tumhein gift karunga, aur haan saath mein yeh card bhi tha... par de hi nahin paaya" he touched the bangles she was wearing, "yeh maine Delhi se aate waqt li thi tumhare liye, saath mein yeh perfume, yeh ear rings, aur yeh dupatta jab tumhare saath pehli baar market gaya tha" his eyes were shining while showing all these gifts to her... "tumhein pasand toh aaya na"... she chuckled, "bahut jyada.. par sorry aaj maine tumhare nahin Nanu ke diye huye jhumke pehne hai... jisse unka aashirwad hamesha hamare saath rahe"

They talked for some time when Sameer remembered something, "Naina tumne itna sab mere liye kiya, ek baat kahun.. maanogi"... she nodded in yes without even asking... he grinned and went to open his bag take out his Walkman, he put the cassette inside and turned on the music, ...... he came forward and offer his hand for dancing, she point blankly looked at him surprisingly, forward her hand to take crutch to stand up but he hold her hand in between and shook his head, he makes her stand giving his full support, she stood clutching his shoulder tightly from both hands but instantly closed her eyes due to fear... he smirks "ghabrao nahin.. girne nahin dunga" she slowly opened her eyes and looked into his eyes, a flow of trust and faith rushed into her eyes... he holds her securely in his arms from her waist and she was holding from his shoulder... they started moving slowly as per the rhythm going on....

Tu Tu Hai Vohi Dil Ne Jisse Apna Kaha, Tu Hai Jahan Main Hoon wahan
Ab To Yeh Jeena Tere Bin Hai Saza, O Mil Jayein Is Tarah,
Do Lehre Jis Tarah, Phir Ho Na Judaa, Haan Yeh Vaada Raha

Kisi Mod Pe Bhi Na Yeh Saath Toote, Mere Haath Se Tera Daaman Na Chhoote
Kabhi Khwab Mein Bhi Tu Mujhse Na Roothe, Mere Pyaar Ki Koi Khushiyaan Na Loote
Mil Jayein Is Tarah, Do Lehre Jis Tarah, O Mil Jaaye Is Tarah, Do Lehre Jis Tarah
Phir Ho Na Judaa, Haan Yeh Vaada Raha

Tujhe Main Jahan Ki Nazar Se Chura Loon, Kahin Dil Ke Kone Mein Tujhko Chupa Loon
Kabhi Zindagi Mein Pade Mushkilein To,
Mujhe Tu Sambhale Tujhe Main Sambhaloon, O Mil Jayein Is Tarah,Do Lehre Jis Tarah
O mil jayein is tarah,do lehre jis tarah, Phir Ho Na Judaa, Haan Yeh Vaada Raha

Song was finished but they kept on looking at each other. His hands on her waist, her hands on his shoulder, his eyes on hers, her eyes on him, silence all around, cold chilly breeze surrounding their bodies. She didn't move, he didn't move, and the time just stopped. She was smiling at him with teary eyes while he returned the gesture with a warm smile. She kept her head on his chest and he took her into his embrace softly....

Naina lift her head from his chest, her arms still around him.. looking up at his face she murmured, "I Love You Sameer" she smiled through tears... he pulled her back in his arms, crushing her in soft smooth hug and replied with equal warmth, "I Love you too Naina"

Later, as they sat back, Naina keep her head on his shoulder, their hands entwined, Sameer feels Naina's eyes were brimming with tears.. he lifts her face and wipe her tears, before he asked, she replied, "Thanks Sameer, tumne meri zindagi kitni badal di hai.. mein yakin bhi nahin kar sakti ki mein, tumhare saath aise dance... sach mujhe bahut achchha laga... jaise mera ek aur adhura sapna pura ho gaya ho"...

Sameer cupped her face, "yakin kar lo... kyunki ab koi sapna adhura nahin rahega... na tumhara ...na mera"... he then brings out his camera and clicked their pics, some alone of Naina and few together to keep a memory of this special day....

After some time, Sameer asked cutely "Naina ek baat kahun, tum bura toh nahin manogi na", she looked at him curiously, he said innocently, "voh... Naina actually mujhe bahut bhookh lag rahi hai, subah se tumse baat nahin hui thi toh kuchh khaaya hi nahin theek se"... she burst into laughter and hit on his arm, "bhukkad.... pata tha mujhe tumne theek se nahin khaaya subah se aur tumhein bhookh lagegi... voh dekho" she point her finger to a corner table, Sameer went and bring the tray lying there, open the lid and surprised to see bowl filled with vegetable Maggi... "Yeh kahan se aayi"... Naina smiled, put the fork filled with Maggi in his mouth, "aayi kya matlab... maine khud banayi hai... pata hai kitni mushkil se is guest house ke kitchen mein permission mili yeh banane ki" he got amazed to see her efforts to make this day perfect in all possible ways... he too feed her and they enjoyed the Maggi with Love....

Sameer, "Naina aaj se jab bhi hum saath honge mein khaane ki first bite tumhare haath se hi khaunga, promise karo tum mana nahin karogi" she agreed with a smile ... "okay, par haan akele mein" he nodded, "par sirf jab tak shaadi nahin ho jaati, usake baad koi bahana nahin chalega... samjhi"... they sit snuggling into each other... relieved to be together finally..
