The morning of Ahmedabad was usual as always... There was nothing new in that morning but this was a start of a new journey of two persons... If this was a new chapter of life's book of two different persons, then where one was so innocent to understand the depth of it, there the other one wanted to read every letter of it holding her closer.... So it was a morning of hope and support for those two... Hope of love and a new life while supporting each other in their every ups and downs... And in that beautiful morning that two persons were sleeping peacefully cocooned, no not in eachother's embrace, but in the warmth of their newly bounded beautiful relation.... It might be that thread of acceptance between them, which worked on them sub consciously, and made them sleep closer to each other... A man who found his solace in the silky cascades of his girl and a woman who found her peace, when her man kept his hand on her arm, might be unknowingly.... But peace on their faces was indescribable.....

It was Naina, who opened her eyes at around 6:45... it took her pretty 5 minutes to understand her whereabouts and then the condition and her cheeks instantly go crimson when she realised the proximity she was in, with him... She wanted to turn and make a little distance, but when she jerked to turn a groan escaped from his mouth, she immediately held on and looked at him... Though he was in sleep and her hairs were not giving his proper view, so she leaned a little, looked at him carefully and then taking sigh slowly moved away.. even in sleep his lips curved into a small smile when her hairs slowly slided on his face... She sat and looked at him... Might be it was the first proper glance she was giving him... And his charming face, cute pout, and childlike smile made her smile too... And for once she might not believe on her destiny that made this charming man and this house belonged to her...

It might be the feeling of loss of her fragrance or warmth, that Sameer woke up this early... Last some days of his life was so hectic that he couldn't even sleep properly... It was the first peaceful sleep after so long, so At first he was not in mood to get up and rolled on, stretching the blanket... But the feeling of flower petals beneath and memory of last night made his lips instantly curved and he immediately opened his eyes to see the face of his beautiful wife... But she was not there.. his eyes narrowed and he thought," ye kha Chali gyi itni subah..."
But before his thoughts proceeded he noticed the sound of water from bathroom... "oh ", his lips rounded in exclamation and he relaxed again on the bed.... Just then he heard a click sound and bathroom door opened... Though he was awake but he had kept his one hand over his forehead, so it was difficult to know that he was awake...

Sameer's all senses pushed sharply, when he got her first glimpse of morning... She came just after bath and deep essence of fresh lilies had been spreaded in the atmosphere of room with her entrance... He inhaled sharply as wanted to feel every fragrance that came after touching her... She came and stood before dressing table... Sameer was checking her every activity keenly but she was unaware of it... She was in blouse and underskirt, her hairs tied on a top knot to prevent from drenching, some drops of water were dripping from her small flicks of her hairs making him more thirsty and her hands were holding her saree tight which was abruptly draped around her... For once, Sameer thought," she must not know how to drape a saree.. but then what would she do now... Would she like if he helped her.. but how could he helped her as he too didn't knew how to drape sari..." He was engrossed to thinking of different scenarios but the scene was definitely different from his imaginations... She was about to open the sari but stopped, looked behind at him from the corner of her eyes to be assure that he was sleeping... Sameer immediately closed eyes and pretended to sleep almost stopped his breaths.. so after being assure she opened her saree and started to drape it properly... Seeing her first opening the sari and then draping it, he almost lost all his senses... The mirror in front was giving him the ample view of forbidden territory of his wife... she tucked a corner on waist and took a round and her hands came behind to tuck it... Her every movement, every cuts and curves of her body, every dips and downs, he was looking at, without even blinking his eyes... Her petite slim figure, silky smooth skin and perfectly curved waist awaking some different sensations in his body... Unknowingly his breaths got heavy and his heart pumped all this extra blood to a particular part of his body, that was already twitching and throbbing... for once he got ashamed of his own thoughts and condition but in the second moment his heart screamed, " she is your wife stupid... And this is her right... And yours too.." before he could think anything more, her cute faces which she was making while choosing the right hair style and make up for herself forced him to smile on her innocence... And he locked all his desires in a corner of his heart thinking," there must be a day, when I could touch her, love her and feel her..."

He turned and sat rubbing his eyes when she was giving a final touch to herself..

"Good morning", he said... Which she replied slowly and asked," ap Roz itni jaldi uthte hai..."

Sameer: umm... Nhi Roz to nhi..

Naina: oh... Sorry.. shayad maine disturb kar diya apko...

Sameer: hmm.. are nhi.. mera koi fixed time nhi hai.. jab aakh khulti hai uth jata hu... You don't worry...

Naina: ap kuch lenge... Matlab chai ya aur kuch...

Sameer: umm... Coffee... Lekin tum kaise laogi...

Naina: kitchen se...

Sameer: haa kitchen se to... Lekin tumhe kaise pta chalega ki Mai kaisi coffee pita hu...

Now Naina got perplexed and asked," oh haa... Fr kya Karu..."

Sameer chuckled on her cuteness," kuch nhi... Abhi thodi der me Radhe le aayega coffee.. tum fikar mt karo.."

Naina: Lekin Radhe q layega aapki coffee.. mujhe Lani chahiye Naa...

Sameer smirked on this, thought for a moment, stood up and started taking slow steps towards him and said looking into her eyes," acha... Aur wo q.."

Naina: qki ap mere.... ",But she stopped blushing...

Sameer teasingly," Mai tumhara kya..."

Naina, who was caught by his gaze till then replied," qki Mai apki..." But again couldn't complete...

Sameer reached so close to her now, leaned and asked whispering," tum meri kya Naina..."

Now it was difficult to reply so she took the root of escape and replied," kuch nhi... Mai Radhe Ko hi bol deti hu..."

Sameer chuckled on her again and saw her back while she was leaving... Then suddenly he recalled something and called her," Naina ek minute..."

She stopped and looked at him questioning... He gestured her for a minute and opened his cupboard... It took him pretty time to get boxes which he was searching for... Naina was folding the blanket and looking at him in between, when he gave him that boxes...

Naina,"ye kya hai... Mere liye hai... ", Her eyes glittered for a moment...

Sameer: haa tumhare liye hi... khol ke dekho... Wo raat Ko hi Dena tha par Mai bhul gya...

Naina opened both boxes.. one had a beautiful but pretty heavy necklace of diamonds and stones... And other had a chain with a beautiful dew drop shaped diamond pendant... It was elegant and beautiful... Sameer was noticing her expressions couldn't guess anything that she liked that or not... So he asked," kya hua... Acha nhi Laga..."

Naina: nhi ye to dono bhut ache hai... Lekin do do gifts q...

Sameer asked again, as if wanted to know something," sach bolo... Dono ache lage Naa... I mean agar nhi pasand to change kar sakte hai.."

Naina: nhi waise to dono ache hai Lekin...

Sameer: Lekin kya...

Naina: wo... Actually mujhe... Mujhe ye chain jyada pasand aayi...

Sameer: wo q... Ye necklace acha nhi Laga..

Naina," acha hai... Lekin ye... Mera matlab hai ye bhut heavy hai... Mujhe itni heavy jewellery pasand nhi... Aisa lagta hai jaise jabardasti paiso ke show off ke liye pehni hai... Ye jo bade log hote hai naa inko to show off ki..." But she bit her tongue as realised that she was blurting something she shouldn't ..

While Sameer's expressions changed and his eyes softened immediately... He replied," tumhe wo pasand hai naa to wo hi pehno... Ye rakh do..."

Naina thought he might be angry, so she replied," nhi... Ye bhi bhut acha hai... Mai ye bhi..."

Sameer cut him in between... Hold her shoulders and said softly," Naina... Tumhe jo bhi pasand hai na Wahi pehno... Kabhi bhi Aisa kuch karne ki jarurt nhi jisme tumhari marzi Shamil nhi... And don't worry mujhe Bura nhi lagega... Samjhi"

She nodded as her eyes glittered on his soft words.... She immediately lifted that chain to wear and went before mirror... But Sameer was quick to hold her hands and asked a permission to do the honour...

Slowly taking steps he came closer to her and took the chain from her hands, came at her back slide her hairs at a side and pushed the clasp closed... Naina blushed profusely, she fisted her hands in side of her sari and closed her eyes squeezed shut... They were so close that even after she left running he felt himself drenched in her fragrance while Naina felt her shoulders burning hot almost whole day...

After sometime on Breakfast table, nanu sat for breakfast and Sameer too joined him few minutes later... While Naina was in kitchen even after stopping for thousand times by nanu himself... But Sameer was unaware of it that the breakfast was mostly cooked by her... When nanu saw him all ready for office, he couldn't help but ask," Sameer, tu office ja rha hai..."

Sameer: haa nanu... Q kya hua... Roz to jata hu...

Nanu: are kal hi to teri shadi hui hai...

Sameer: whi to nanu.... Shadi ke wajah se pehle hi bhut chhuttiya ho gyi hai... Ab aur nhi...

Nanu: Lekin Sameer...

Sameer cut him in between," nanu... Please... Ab fr se ye mat bolna ki Naina Ko samjho, uske sath time spend karo... Mai.."

And he was interrupted by nanu," acha, meri baat tujhe lecture lagti hai... Mai to bas..."

Sameer again cut him," nanu meri baat to suniye... Mai to ye Kah rha hu ki ye sab ek din me to possible nhi hai.. aur tab tak to Mai office se chhutti nhi le Sakta... I promise ki Mai office se jaldi aaunga aur Naina ke sath time bhi spend karunga... Ab khush.."

Nanu looked at him keenly and said," meri Khushi ki chhod... Tu khush hai naa... Mera matlab hai Naina tujhe..."

But before he could complete his eyes fell on him... And he was lost somewhere.. while nanu looked at his direction it seemed that he got his all answers, as his grandson was littrely ogling and drooling over his legally wedded wife while Naina was coming from kitchen with a tray in her hands...

Teasingly nanu leaned a little and whispered," muh band kar le beta, makkhi ghus jayegi..."

Sameer who was lost in her till suddenly jerked and a small blush crept on his face," nanu Mai to bas.... Radhe ki wait kar rha tha... Mera breakfast nhi laya Abhi tak.." he smiled sheepishly...

Nanu chuckled and said," barkhurdar, nanu hu Mai tera... Dhup me Baal safed nhi kiye..."

Sameer blushed... Just then naina came with breakfast tray in hands... While Sameer's eyes widened seeing a much elaborative breakfast than usual... He exclaimed in surprise," wow Radhe... AJ to tune Kamal kar diye... Itna sab..."

Radhe, who just entered with juice glasses replied," nhi bhaiya... Hamara nhi Bhabhiji ka Kamal hai ye... "

Sameer surprised again," kya Naina ne... Lekin ye sab usne q bnaya hai... Tu kya kar rha tha.."

Nanu smiled on his concern and he too added," haa Naina beti... Maine to kha tha ki thoda kuch bna lo... Fr itna sab q bnaya..."

Naina replied nanu," nanaji ye sab chhodiye Naa... Aur ap kha kar btaiye ki kaisa bna hai..."

Nanu took one bite and praised whole heartedly," Wah Naina beti... Mazaa AA gya... Bhut jyada acha hai..."

Naina: apko acha Laga sachhi...

Nanu nodded... And she continued," to fr laiye mera neg..." She spreaded her one palm before nanu...

Nanu surprised," haa... Are tu... Acha bol kya chahiye tujhe..."

Naina: ummm... Mai na... Apse Baad me maang lungi... Jab bhi jarurt hogi...

Nanu: thik hai teri marzi... Lekin ek chiz hai jo Mai tujhe dena chahta hu...

Naina: wo kya nanaji...

Nanu looked at Sameer then replied," Baad me btaunga... Abhi baith aur nashta kar..."

All this while Sameer lovingly saw this naughty and mysterious communication.. later nanu made her to sit and have breakfast... Sameer didn't praise her verbally but extra servings of food made everyone understand his liking... While they were having breakfast Radhe came to inform," bade Sahab, bahar Bhabhiji ke Chachaji aate hai... Hamne unhe hall me baithaya hai.."

Nanu nodded and tell him to serve water for Chachaji while they were coming... But his expressions changed into a different which was quite surprising for Sameer....

Later in hall... Chachaji came to take Naina with him as technically it was her pagphere ki rasam... So after exchanging the pleasantries he said his reason to visit," wo darasal main Naina Ko pagphere ke liye...."

But nanu cut him in between," nhi Anand... Naina beti us ghar me nhi jayegi.."

Chachu cleared his throat and asked politely again," Lekin ye to rasam...."

Nanu," Mai nhi manata aisi rasmo Ko... Ek Baar Kah diya naa maine... Naina beti us ghar me nhi jayegi..." And he walked out in anger... This was shocking for everyone specially for sameer, he never saw his nanu losing his temper... He looked at his direction and then on Naina and Chachaji... Just then a lone tear escaped from Naina's eyes... For a moment he stood clueless about what to do... But somehow control himself and took the charge of situation.. he said to Chachaji," ummm... Ap fikar mat kijiye... Nanu se Mai baat karunga... Wo Maan jayenge... "

Chachaji: koi baat nhi damadji... Mai Janta tha ye hone wala hai... Bas Naina se Milne ki chah me chala aaya... Ab Mai chalta hu...

Sameer touched his feet and Chachaji left.. some more tears spilled from Naina's eyes seeing him leaving... Sameer saw her, she was not shocked, it mean she knew why nanu did this infact she knew that this would happen... He thought," sab kuch chhupa rahe hai.. par q.. aur kya.." but right now he stood in a dilemma that whether to wipe the tears of his newly wedded bride or calmed his rarely angry nanu .. he looked helplessly in both directions... Naina understood his condition and Said wiping her tears," ap jaiye... Mai nanu se baat kar lungi..."

Sameer asked concerned," tum thik ho.."

Naina nodded and hummed... And he left for office...

***************************************

Nanu was taking rest in his room after lunch, when he heard a knock on the door... And a sweet voice came with," nanaji.. Mai andar AA jau..."

Nanu: are Naina beti... AA Naa.. ye kya layi hai...

Naina: ye apki medicine hai... Aapne nhi li Naa.. chaliye lijiye...

Naina made him take the medicines and about to leave when nanu called her," naina... Yha Aakar baith beta... Tujhse kuch baat karni hai..."

Naina came and sat on a corner of the bed...

Nanu continued," beta.. maine tujhe us ghar me Jane se mna Kiya.. to tujhe..."

Naina cut him in between," nhi nanaji.. Mai janti hu... Mujhe koi shikayat nhi..."

Nanu nodded and said," acha tujhe KH tha Naa ki kuch Dena hai... To tujhe ek jimmedari Deni hai mujhe.."

Naina looked at him questioning and he continued," Naina... Bachhe... Sameer ke bachpan ki bhut si baate hai jo maine tujhe btayi hai aur bhut si baate hai jo Mai chahta hu ki khud Sameer tujhe btaye... Lekin ek aur baat hai... Sameer ne Naa Apne har dard ki dawa bas kaam Ko Bana liya hai aur Apne AAP Ko kaam me itna duba Liya hai ki mera bachha apna bachpana, apni shararte yha tak ki Hasna bhul gya hai.. tu use fr se Hasna sikha de... Fr se pyar karna sikha de... Bas Mai chahta hu ki hamesha uska saath Dena aur uska khayal rakhna... "

Naina nodded and nanu careressed her head...

***************************************

Sameer entered in room and got surprised, as he never saw his room such clean and organised... And another shocker was his cupboard which was organised like never... Then he saw Naina who came after him with a glass of water and and coffee... He got mesmerised as she was looking very fresh... He thought," how could anyone look so fresh even in evening..."

He asked her politely," Naina ye room... I mean tumne clean Kiya...aur cupboard.."

Naina: haa.. kya hua...maine kuch bhi hataya nhi hai infact jagah bhi change nhi ki... Kuch nahi mil rha kya...

Sameer: are nhi sab thik hai... But tumhe ye sab karne ki kya jarurt thi...

Naina: wo subah aapko dekha tha paresan hote.. to socha ki... Aapko acha nhi Laga kya...

Sameer: nhi acha to hai.. Lekin... Lekin mujhe aadat nhi koi mera kaam kare ya fr mera khayal rakhe, meri pasand napasand ke bare me soche..

Naina: aadat nhi to daal lijiye... Qki mujhe aadat hai ye sab karne ki...

***************************************

Sameer was doing some office work on his study table, when naina entered... sameer saw her from the corner of his eyes... She was looking perplexed and rubbing her hands like wanted to say something... He thought to ask but then again thought to wait for her to take initiative... After sometime Naina gathered her courage and asked," suniye... Mai aapse kuch puchna chahti hu.."

Sameer kept the pen down, turned completely to her and raised his eyebrows while replied," hmm... Bolo..."

Naina asked rubbing her hands," kya Mai... Mera matlab hai kya hamari shadi jabardasti hui hai... kYa... kya aap kisi aur Ko pasand karte hai..."

Sameer shocked hearing her questions.. he thought that she asked to know something to know about him like his choices in food or something... But he never expected these kind of direct questions.... But he choose to reply calmly," nhi... Aisa bilkul bhi nahi hai..."

Naina got more confused," huh .. nhi hai.. fr q..."

Sameer: kya hua.. bolo..

Naina: nhi kuch bhi nahi... And she stood to change... Sameer was observing her every activity attentively... She pulled out a bag from the bed box and then a night suit from that bag and went in the bathroom to change... After she returned and went to bed, Sameer to close his file and came on bed, sat on his knees and asked her," Naina... Ek minute utho.. mujhe kuch baat karni hai.."

Naina immediately sat up and looked at him...

Sameer: tum... Tum thik ho naa...

Naina nodded a yes...

Sameer: pakka koi problem nahi hai naa...

Naina: nhi... Kya problem hogi...

Sameer: jhuth bol Rahi ho tum... Maine Abhi dekha tumne Apne kapde bag se nikale bed box me se... Mujhe Dhyan nhi rha to tum bol nhi Sakti thi ki room me cupboard chahiye... Tum yha kya chhutti manane aayi ho ya fr puri life aise hi bag se kapde nikalti rahogi...

Naina got scared on his high pitch and stammered," sorry... Lekin Mai... Mera matlab hai..."

Sameer calmed himself seeing her scared..and said softly," naina... Ghabrao mat... Lekin tum mujhe nhi btaogi to mujhe kaise pta lagega... I am sorry ki mujhe Dhyan nhi rehta..." , He cursed himself recalling that nanu had told him to renovate the room and add some more furniture... But he refused... He shook his head on his own stupidity and said to her," please Naina promise karo ki mujhe sab btaogi..."

Naina nodded a yes again as her throat choked due to tears, as she never saw someone so perplexed for herself...

Sameer thought and asked again," acha to Mai tumse kuch puchhu to sach sach btaogi..."

Naina hummed only..

Sameer: Naina, tumne mujhse wo sawal q puchhe... Aur tum itni disturb q lg rhi thi...

Naina: wo.. wo AJ Preeti ka call aaya tha to usne kha mujhe ki...

Sameer: usne kha tumse wo sab puchhne...

Naina: nhi.. puchhne nhi... Usne to kha ki aisi hi koi baat hai... Qki...

Sameer: qki... Qki kya naina...

Naina: qki kal raat... Wo aap... Kal...

Sameer: bolo Naina...

Naina: qki kal raat jab aap kamre me aaye to na aapne meri tarif ki, na mujhe kiss Kiya aur AJ hi office bhi chale Gaye...

She said it all in one breath and jet speed closing her eyes, that it took some moments for him to understand... When he understood, he chuckled first then asked," aur uska matlab tumne ye nikala.."

Naina: nhi maine nhi... wo to Preeti ne...

Sameer thought for a second, shifted a little closer to her, hold her both hands and asked," acha ek baat btao... Agar kal Mai tumhe kiss karta ya kuch aur karta to kya tumhe acha lagta... I mean kya tum comfortable rehti..."

Naina lowered her eyes, thought for a moment, then shook her head in negative...

Sameer took a deep breath and continued softly rubbing his thumb on the back of her palms," Naina... Mai nhi Janta baki duniya mein sab kya sochte hai ya karte hai.. shayad Mai thik se is rishte Ko samjhta bhi nhi Lekin samjhna chahta hu, is raste pr chalna bhi chahta hu tumhare saath, tumhara haath pakad kar Lekin ahista ahista... Samjhi...

Naina, who was looking at him mesmerisingly felt overwhelmed on his thoughtfulness and nodded a yes...

Sameer smiled on her nod and said again," Lekin tab tak tum mujhe sab btaogi, apni feelings bhi.. aur problems bhi like a friend...

Naina hummed... And he said," chalo ab so jao" and patted her cheeks...

Smiling Naina turned to sleep, when he recalled something and came closer again and said whispering in her ears,     " waise tum bhut khubsurat ho... Sirf kal hi nhi har Baar, jab bhi tumhe dekhta hu pehli Baar se jyada pyari lagti Ho..."

Naina's eyes widened at first, then squeezed shut and she blushed to the deepest shade of crimson possible, her heart raced and hands turned into fists... Sameer smiled on her condition and lied down to prevent her from further blushing... Naina too laid immediately and she slept very soon... While sameer was tossing and turning on bed as sleep was far away from his eyes... He turned her side and saw she too changed side and now was facing him.... Her one hand lied on the side of her face... He thought for a moment before sliding his hand into her... And his lips curved in a sweet smile when she folded her fingers and hold his hand, might be unknowingly... But he could see her smile in sleep even... Soon he too closed his eyes feeling the warmth of herself but not before making a mental note to wake up early atleast on that "click" sound....
