Naina woke up and sat in bed and stared at the bright sunlight streaming into the room through the window. The brown mountains, the green grass, deeply colored flowers, the chirping of birds heard distinctively due to the silence and absence of city life..

In a moment, she realized that she is alone now as everyone must be gone for rock climbing, which was planned for today. Her heart sank thinking about the loneliness she has to bear, though it will last for few hours only as they all will be back around lunch time. She felt tinge of pain missing him terribly even after spending an evening and full night with him, her eyes became glazed with a glassy layer of tears.

With a sigh she tried getting up from bed but felt slightly dizziness and about to trip when two strong hands hold her safely.. she felt a strong sense of belonging around her and just turned to see him standing close to her, holding her tightly in his embrace... his Sameer... she stood on her own and hit slightly on her forehead for day-dreaming, "tu bhi na Naina, poori paagal ho gayi hai.. har taraf tujhe Sameer hi Sameer dikhta hai".. she starts moving ahead but he hold her hand firmly... she turned her eyes up and saw... it's Sameer... his Sameer, standing with a mischievous grin playing on his face.

Even though she was happy seeing him, she couldn't expect him to miss the enjoyment with others, "tum... tum sach mein ho... matlab tum hi ho na, par tum gaye kyun nahin sabke saath, maine kaha tha na ki enjoy karna"... he looked straight into her eyes, "tumhare bina enjoy.. not possible... mera bas chele toh ek pal ke liye bhi tumhein akela nahin chhodu, phir itane ghanto ka toh sawaal hi nahin bantaa... vaise tumhein kya laga mein koi sapna hun.... lagta hai aajkal sapno mein bhi mujhe hi dekhti ho..." his eyes glazed like honey and million shaded of gold as sunlight from the open window reflected off them.

She blushed, hadn't said a single word, but couldn't stop herself from smiling... he came close to her lifting her face, "Naina.. bataao na.. kya dekha sapne mein... kuchh romantic sa moment tha.. haathon mein haath.. ek dusre ke kareeb.. please bataao na hum kya kar rahe the.." to tease her more, he said, "vaise agar tum bataogi toh mein bhi bata dunga ki tum mere saath sapno mein kya kya karti ho.." she looked him surprisingly, gets more nervous "mein.. mein... kya karti hun... kuchh bhi toh nahin karti mein, jo karte ho sab tum hi karte ho.. sachchi.." she bit her tongue realized what she blurts out in front of him... before he makes more fun of her, she said showing fake anger, "tum.. tum subah subah achanak mere kamre mein kaise.. kab aaye aur mujhe jagaya kyun nahin.. aur haan agar gaye nahin the toh aaraam karna chahiye tha na.." he leaned slightly to her, "tumhein itne pyaar se sote huye dekhna kaise miss kar sakta tha.. vaise bhi tum yahaan akeli thi, sab ja chuke hai, mujhe chinta ho rahi thi ki tum akeli ho...."

Sameer, " achchha yeh sab chhodo, yeh juice hai tumhare liye kyunki breakfast ka time yahaan khatam ho chuka hai... aur iske baad jaldi se ready ho jaao, humein kahin jaana hai.. please ab yeh planning meri hai so don't ask anything.... I am sure you will like it.... mein thodi der mein aaya... aur haan kuchh bhi comfortable pehen lena, mujhe tum har dress mein pyaari lagti ho...."saying this he moved towards the door but turned back and winks to her, "vaise tum soti huyi badi pyaari lag rahi thi..." ... he rushes out after closing the door leaving her more blushed...

In few minutes time, she gets ready and move out from the room, locking the door. She turned and saw him coming towards her in corridor, he mesmerized seeing her ready in a blue knee length dress, her long hairs tied in high pony, her face shining even without any make-up...

Sameer slowly steps towards her, standing just an inch away from her. He continued looking her without blinking and raised his hands towards her back and removed the rubber from her hair making it flow freely and said in a husky tone, " Naina, tum khule baalon mein aur bhi jyaada khubsurat lagti ho.. inhein bandha mat karo"... he steps back and see her clad completely in blue which all the more enhanced her angelic beauty. He couldn't take off his eyes off her. She colored deeply under his intense gaze, gathering all her courage she spoke, "Sameer chalein" he smiled and said.

Dekhne ka junoon aur bhi gehra hota hai

Jab tumhare chehre par, zulfon ka pehra hota hai...

They came out from the guest house and Sameer showed her a bike, she settled on the bike now more comfortable compare to last time, holding him from his shoulder, he looked from rear view mirror and asked "chalein".. she nodded... "Sameer yeh bike kahaan se mili tumhein" Naina enquired the moment they start, "voh hamare guest house ke paas hi ek shop hai jahaan rent par vehicles milte hai, tourists ke liye, bas vahin se li hai... tumhein pasand hai na bike ride" he replied seeing her in mirror... she smiled back to assure and mouthed slowly "ThankYou"....

In about thirty minutes' drive, Sameer stopped his bike in front of Dilwara Temple.. "Sameer hum kal hi toh yahaan aaye the phir dobara kyun, kuchh bhool gaye the kal kya" she asked surprisingly seeing the same place where they visited yesterday only. He parked his bike and said cutely, "voh kya hai na kal hum donon akele akele yahaan aaye the... saath hokar bhi tum mere saath nahin thi... aur mujhe Mount abu ki har yaad sirf tumahre saath chahiye, toh bas aaj hum apni yaadein banayege... kal toh kisi ne milne bhi nahin diya tha humko" he chuckled and hold her hand to go inside... they went upstairs holding each other's hand and pray there.. "Sameer thodi der baithe yahaan.. kitni shaanti hai na yahaan"... he agreed to her and they sit on the stairs while coming down ...

Naina, "sach kahun Sameer, kal tumhein bohot miss kar rahi thi... aur uspar tumhara udaas sa chehra... sach kahun dekha nahin ja raha tha mujhse... sorry kal ke liye, kitna pareshaan kiya na hum sab ne milkar tumhein"... Sameer smiled and scrunch her nose cutely, "meri life ka best surprise diya hai kal tumne... usake aage toh ye kuchh nahin hai... Naina mein tumhein baata nahin sakta mein kitna khush hun, man kar raha hai ki jor jor se chilla kar saari duniya ko bata dun ki tum meri ho... sirf meri... I am the luckiest person to have you in my life"

It was love all around and a sense of calm, they both craved for... They looked at their entwined hands and stared each other. It was a beautiful moment and he wants to keep these memories forever... he asked her to give some poses, click some pictures and later set camera to take few pictures together...

After spending some peaceful moment in temple together they headed to a restaurant to eat. Sameer ordered her favorite Chinese dish, Vegetable Noodles with Manchurian ... Naina surprisingly, "tumhein kaise pata mujhe chinese pasand hai... maine toh kabhi nahin bataya".... he winked to her, "ab itane saalon se tumhein pataane ki koshish kar raha hun, tumhari pasand na-pasand toh jaan hi lunga na... chalo ab jaldi se khaao, mujhe pata hai subah se tumne kuchh nahin khaaya hai, aur mujhe bhi bahut bhookh lag rahi hai" he feed her first bite from his own hand and so she is.... They relish their food and later enjoyed the Ice-cream treat...

After fun filled lunch, they headed towards the nearby market, Sameer took her to a stall selling beautiful ethnic jewellery, he point towards a set of silver necklace, earrings with matching bangles which he selected yesterday for her but didn't get time to show her, she exclaimed, "wow Sameer, this is so beautiful... manana padega tumhari choice sabse best hai" he chuckled and wink to her, "haan voh to hai... kal lena chahta tha par tum saath hi nahin thi.. toh aaj yeh meri taraf se tumhare liye..." they bought some more handicraft items as a gift for other family members and a shawl for Nanu. Sameer asked her help to buy something for her little cute sister, "agar kuchh nahin liya toh jab milegi jaan kha jaayegi meri" they ended up buying beautiful hair clips and matching accessories for little girl....

Sameer, "Naina thodi der drive par chalein .... pahadon mein bike ride ka maja hi kuchh aur hai.. sabke saath toh sirf bus mein hi ja payenge... aur vaise bhi tum pehli baar kisi hill station par aayi ho toh in vaadiyon ka maja khul kar lena chahiye.... " she nodded in yes and they took a random round of all nearby places on bike... her hairs were swaying in the air while the cold breeze on their face felt like a bliss. She admires the greenery, the bushes, the place was like heaven. She moves bit closer to him to get cozy feeling slightly cold... they feel a new emotion of proximity filled with passion ... he looked at her from mirror and blew a flying kiss making her blush more and said...

Yeh udti zulfein aur yeh bikhri muskaan,

Ek ada se sambhalun toh dusri hosh uda deta hai...

She buried her face to his back and closed her eyes... Sameer continued driving through the most beautiful meadows she had ever witnessed.... They stopped in mid-way and clicked many pictures of each other and few together, enjoying there each and every moment of the memorable day... later they went back to their guest house quite late afternoon...

They reached back and saw all their friends were hell tired due to their first-time experience in rock climbing and sleeping after lunch. They too also got tired and went to their rooms for a quick nap...

In evening, everyone met at the ground for a special announcement made by Principal, "Students, there is a surprise plan for all of you... iss guest house ke saamne jo pahaad hai usake uppar ki taraf ek bada sa ground hai, ek chhoti si jheel bhi hai paas mein, toh kal subah hum sab us pahadi par tracking karke ek din ke liye us jheel ke kinare camping karenge, aur parso subah vaapas aayenge...aur vahaan jakar aapko ek aur surprise milega... even we can enjoy a camp fire also there around the lake... so all should get ready with minimum baggage by tomorrow morning at sharp 10 after breakfast as you have to cross this hill which will take around 1 hour and so .... Everyone gets happy for camping idea as staying overnight in camp indeed a new experience for most of them...

After early dinner they all settled in the garden to have some chit-chat... Naina was bit worried, being hold by Sameer back with him, "kya hua Naina, itni upset kyun ho...koi pareshaani".. Naina looked down on urge of crying, "Sameer... mein... mein kaise vahaan tracking karungi.. mein nahin jaa paaungi, maine isiliye mana kiya tha mujhe nahin aana hilly area mein... please mein yahin ruk jaati hun na JBR se baat karke"... tears was on verge of coming out when he cupped her face in his palms and said, "tumhein lagta hai mein tumhein yahaan akele chhod kar jaaunga.. mein hun na tumhare saath... tum bhi hum sab ke saath hi chalogi, aur mere hote huye aankhone mein aansun to bilkul nahin, samjhi... chalo sab hamara wait kar rahe hai.. just trust me".. saying this he wiped out her tears and they joined back to their friends.. Naina was relaxed and calm trusting him more than herself ...
