Happy Sunday Reader ,

Next morning Sameer came out from jogging and saw Nanu was sitting in hall, reading newspaper... he went near to him and greet... "Morning Nanu..." Nanu greet him with a smile and said, "tera hi intzaar kar raha tha... tujh se kuchh baat karni hai.. aa baith mere paas.." he gets worried seeing him bit serious, "kya hua Nanu, kuchh serious.."

Nanu smiled putting his hand on his shoulder, "nahin.. aisa kuchh nahin... bas kal jo kuchh bhi hua usi ke baare mein soch raha tha... jo hua ho voh theek nahin tha... maine subah hi phone kar ke Prabha ko daanta hai, par mujhe pata hai ki uska vyavahar kaisa hai, itni jaldi sudharne walon mein se hai nahin... is liye ab teri jimmedari banti hai ki tu Naina ka aur bhi khayaal rakhe... tu janta hai usse, kabhi kuchh nahin kehti... jaisa uska khud ka man saaf hai usse saari duniya utni hi seedhi lagti hai, par yeh uski kamjori nahin taakat hai... ek aisi taakat jo waqt aane par har musibat ka saamna kar sakti hai... pariwaar ki dor ko bandh kar rakhne ki taakat..." he paused and continued, "par beta pariwaar ko jodne ki zid mein kabhi usse mat chot lagne dena... yaad rakhna mere liye tum donon ki Khushi se badkar kuchh nahin hai, koi nahin hai... kal sirf mera maan rakh kar tum ne Prabha ko kuchh nahin kaha par kabhi kabhi galat ko galat kehna jaruri hota hai, varna log use tumhari kamjori samjhenge... tujhe ab badi badi jimmedariyaan uthaani hai... ab logon ko parakhna shuru kar, jo munh par meetha bole voh man ka kaala bhi ho sakta hai... tabhi ghar aur karobaar ko sambhal payega..."

Sameer nodded in yes thinking, "mein samajh gaya aap kin logon ki baat kar rahe ho... mera wada hai ki un ko mein kabhi bhi iss ghar ki khushiyaan nahin chhinane dunga... aur na hi apni Naina ko dukhi karne dunga..."

At Agarwal house, after Sameer's warning, Taiji restricted scolding Naina directly but still always try to find out reasons to hurt her... Naina and Preeti were having breakfast and ready to leave for college when Taiji entered, "O Bai Bela... jara mere liye bhi Chai bana de.. sar dard se phata ja raha hai.."

Preeti laughed when she turned to her, "O Bai... kya khee khee kar rahi ho donon... sagaai kya ho gayi donon ke parr nikal aaye hai... mat bhulo abhi shaadi nahin huyi hai.. jyaada udne ki jarurat nahin hai...." she turned to Naina, "aur tu.. tu kya yahaan baithi hai, yeh nahin ki kuchh kaam kaaj seekhe... voh toh pata nahin uss ameerzaade ne kya dekha iss kalmunhi mein ki lattoo ho gaya... na akal na shakal... aur us par .." before she hurts her more, Preeti cut her in between, "arey Taiji mein toh aapko batana hi bhool gayi... voh Sameer aur Rohan aane wale hai... achchha hua aap aa gayi, donon puchh bhi rahe the aapke baare mein, bada yaad karte hai donon aapko... ab milkar hi jaana..." she said in a dramatic tone holding her laugh....

Taiji got shocked and murmured, "o bai... donon toofan ek saath... na baba na... mujhe nahin milna donon se... dekhte hi dhamki dene lagte hai... mera samman karna toh dur bada wala toh seedhe munh baat bhi nahin karta aur chhota... voh toh aise ghurta hai jaise zinda hi deewar mein chunwa dega... un aafton se toh mein dur bhali..." she said loudly, "arey bela, ek kaam kar meri chaai mere gahr hi bhej dena... bohot kaam hai mujhe aur lagta hai tabiyat bhi kuchh theek nahin meri..." she rushed out immediately to her house...

Preeti laughed loudly, "Mummy ek kaam karte hai... Sameer aur Rohan ki ek badi si tasvir darwaje par hi laga dete hai... jaise voh lagate hai na kya.. haan ... Nazar Battuu....Taiji toh ghar mein bhi nahin aayengi..." soon both girls left with Anand for college... while reaching college, Preeti tell the whole scene to all gang about Taiji's reaction for their Pyaare Damaad ji... seeing Naina smiling and laughing Sameer got relieved that whatever may be, but now Taiji's taunts didn't hurt her... he keep a mental note to keep her save from all evils....

After few days in College, Naina was sitting in class lost in her thoughts when Sameer reached college late due to some sudden work at factory... he saw her sitting alone in class, "kya baat hai Madam, aaj aap yahaan akeli... kahaan gayi sab madhumakhiyaan... jab dekho tumhare aas paas bhinakti rehti hai..." she looked at him with fake anger, "tum bhi na... bekaar mein hamesha sabke pichhe pade rehte ho... pata hai kab se tumhara hi intzaar kar rahi thi mein..." he sits next to her, "kya baat hai... yaad aa rahi thi meri... mein toh yahi tha tumhare dil mein, phir idhar udhar kyun dhundhna..." he winked whereas she hold his hand turned serious, "Sameer... sach kahun tumhari bohot yaad aa rahi thi... man kar raha tha tun jaldi se mere paas aa jaao..." he looked at her and asked worriedly, "kya hua Naina... kuchh baat hai kya... aur tum akeli kyun ho, baaki sab kahaan gaye...."

She looked him and shared her feelings, "Sameer voh mujhe tumhein kuchh batana tha....pata hai kal Priya ke Papa ko Sharad ke Papa mile the... actually uhein nahin pata ki uss din hamari madad uncle ne bhi ki thi isiliye unhone uncle ko sab bataya ki Sharad ko jail ho gayi hai aur isi wajah se un logon ne gusse mein apni bahu aur potiyon ko ghar se nikaal diya hai... kyunki voh ladkiyaan hai toh voh log unka bojh nahin uthana chahte... mujhe sunkar bohot bura lag raha hai... mein maanti hun ki Sharad bura insaan hai aur usse apne kiye ki saza mili par uski wife toh bechari kitni achchhi hai, usne toh hamari madad hi ki thi na... usako apne pati ki galtiyon ki saza kyun mil rahi hai... usey kitna sab bhugatna pad raha hai na... aur uski donon betiyaan, in sab mein unka kya kasoor hai.. unka poora bachpan, unki khushiyaan in sab mein ghut kar rah jaayengi... aisa kyun hota hai Sameer... matlab bachche toh bhagwan ki den hote hai na toh kyun log ladke ladkiyon mein bhed kar ke unhein dukh dete hai... kyun ladkiyaan bojh lagti hai sab ko.... "

Sameer hold her hand more firmly, " yeh kuchh logon ki galat soch hai aur kuchh nahin Naina.... aisa nahin hai ki samaaj mein har koi aisa hi soche, ab Nanu ko dekho na, unhone mere Papa ke jaane ke baad Mummy ki dusri shaadi bhi karwa di... unhone kisi ki parwah kiye bina apni beti ki khushiyon ke baare mein socha... Nanu ne bataya tha ek baar ki is sab ke liye unhein kitna sangharsh karna pada tha, par unhone sirf apni beti ke baare mein socha..." she smiled, "Nanu toh vaise bhi best hai.. unke aur mere Chachaji jaise koi nahin iss duniya mein.. voh donon toh misaal hai iss duniya ke logon ke liye jo sochte hai ki ladkiyaan bojh hoti hai..."

She looked into his eyes, "Sameer mein kuchh karna chahti hun unke liye... please tum madad karoge meri.." he hold her hand, "mein samajh hi gaya tha kyunki mein janta hun meri Naina kisi ko dard mein dekh hi nahin sakti, bhale hi voh koi anjaan ya paraya hi kyun na ho.... vaise tumhein lagta hai ki mein mana karunga jo puchh rahi ho, mein hamesha tumhare saath hun... bataao kya karna chahti ho, unhone hamari itni madad ki thi, mein har koshish karunga agar unke kisi kaam aa sakun..." she smiled and tell her idea to him ... later they informed to the whole gang... all appreciate Samaina for their thought and gesture to help a stranger and agreed to support them....

Firstly, they all find out her parental house address and went to meet her... she cried a lot meeting with them as she belongs to a very poor family... her parents was not able to fulfill her basic requirements and keep requesting to her in-laws to accept her back with kids whereas Sharad's parents already disown her.... it's getting difficult for her to even survive and take care of her little kids... Sameer talked to Nanu and placed a job for her in their factory ......

Pandit spoke to one of his lawyer uncle and support to get her divorced from Sharad legally which was quite easy as he was already imprisoned.... Naina spoke to Meghna Didi and help her to shift in ashram where she can live a respectful life with her daughters... after working in factory, she help Meghna to manage the ashram work's as she has done her basic education before marriage... Naina being topper and teachers favorite, spoke to Principal of PVKM and enrolled both the girls under scholarship quota so that they can study well without any complications....

Inspired by this incident, Rohan as being the College President, made a social group with few college students and indulge in these kinds of social activities, especially for Women's rights and girl's education and their growth.... Whole gang also support him in all best possible ways.... his social activities made him more popular very soon and he gets associated with few charitable organizations and NGO's for support....

Month passed all excited, enjoying college life but hectic too... studies with romance were on peak for all love birds... whenever & wherever they get chance, they spent their quality time with each other but always maintain their limits... Naina keeps busy in studies but Sameer in his favorite agenda of looking at her, admiring her and find lone moments to be with her....

Cricket practice were on peak for Samundit, hardly giving much time to spent together as being last year of their college they want to break all records... mission to achieve their continuous win for third year... their hat trick...

Preeti was also busy in her practice whereas Rohan too propose college authorities to conduct late afternoon classes twice in a week in nearby orphanage by the college students to teach the kids and ladies who are illiterate, which was appreciated well by Principal and authorities. Priya & Swati take the responsibility to teach widow ladies and Rohan with other few students start taking classes for kids along with some sport coaching combined to make it more fun... all gets busy in one or other activity...

Naina prefers to stay in library more to complete her articles and preparing notes for her friends.. and in her spare time always prefer to watch him practicing in ground... his attempts to remove her stairs fear was still on... not completely successful but still trying.....

After a long hectic day, fully tired with practice, Sameer came to library seeing her fully engrossed in books lying on the table but slightly restless... it was lunch time so library was almost empty.. he came slowly from back when she was about to go and get another book from shelf, to scared her he shouts in her ear.. Bhooo...

She shivered and about to fall when he hold her from waist tightly... she was half lying in his arms... they lost in each other eyes, remained in the same position... with a sound from outside they came back in senses, he stands straight and helped her to stand properly... showing fake anger she said, "kya karte ho Sameer... aise mat daraya karo, tumhein pata hain na mujhe kitna darr lagta hai..." he leaned slightly to her, with a mischievous glint in his eyes, "mere hote huye bhi darogi toh kya faayda mera... vaise achchha hai na issi bahane seedha meri baahon mein toh aa gayi... kab se man kar raha tha tumhein gale lagane ka... College mein aise mauka kahaan milte hai aasani se... ek baat kahun tum na library mein hi jyada raha karo, yahaan vaise bhi tumhare alawa jyaada koi aata jaata nahin toh akele mein Romance karne ka mauka mil jaata hai, varna baahar toh har koi bas tumhein hi dhundhta rehta hai..." she blushed and sit back on her seat... "tum aur tumhare Romance ke ideas... aisa idea na sirf tumhein hi aa sakta hai Mr Majnu Maheshwari ji..."   

He laughed and too pulled a chair to sit close to her.. he asked looking at the books, "vaise Naina yeh syllabus ki books toh nahin hai... phir kya itne dhyan se pad rahi thi... kuchh romantic sa hai toh mujhe bhi bata do... vaise us ke liye books ki jarurat nahin.. mein hun na sakshat tumahre saamne... Romance ka Professor... bas ek baar meri aankhon mein pyaar se dekh lo, sab seekh jaaogi... " he said with a mischievous glint in his eyes, holding her hand inside the table.... she looked at him and lost in his eyes but soon realize it, she hit on his arm, "shh.. dheere bolo... tum toh kahin bhi shuru ho jaate ho na... vaise yeh Romance ki books nahin hai, voh mein tumhein batana bhool gayi... voh kal publication house se phone aaya tha.. unhone ek article maanga hai mujhse... koi competition hai jismein saare state ke writers apne articles denge... mujhe bhi nomination mila hai ismein, bas ussi ki taiyari kar rahi hun... pata nahin kaisa likh paungi..."

Sameer feeling happy on her achievements, "wow.. yeh toh bohot badi baat hai, aur tum mujhe ab bata rahi ho.... vaise darro mat dekhna tum hi jeetogi... tumhari soch itni achchhi jo hai.. vaise topic kya socha hai..." she said, "well abhi final nahin kiya par kuchh aurton ke vikaas ke uppar likhne ka soch rahi hun.."

Sameer, "haan yeh achchha rahega.. yaad hai tumne school mein bhi is topic par first prize jeeta tha.." she looked at him surprisingly, "tumhein yaad hai abhi tak.. tum kuchh nahin bhoole na.." he holds her hand more firmly, "tumse judi koi bhi baat mere liye mamuli nahin hai Naina, ek ek pal mere liye keemti hai jo maine tumhare saath bitaye hai, yeh sab mein kabhi nahin bhool sakta...." they talk for some more time, suddenly he recall "yaar mein toh bhool hi gaya tumse milkar.. sab wait kar rahe honge hamara canteen mein... chalein ab sab gaailyaan denge ki tumhein lene aaya tha aur yahin baith gaya... sab tumhari galti hai, tumhein dekh kar kuchh yaad hi nahin rehta..." she smiled and wrap up the books... they left talking to each other... at stairs she starts going down slowly by her own when suddenly she felt slightly dizziness and trembled but he hold her on time... "Naina kya huaa, aaj aise achanak, tabiyat toh theek hai na tumhari... shakal bhi dekho kaisi utari huyi hai.." she smiled weakly, "nahin voh pata nahin kaise achanak chakkar aa gaye... par mein theek hun ab... chale sab wait kar rahe honge, varna tumhein pata hai na... kitni khichayi karte hai sab..." he didn't get convinced with her excuse but stays quiet and gets down holding her firmly from shoulder....
