'Saira. Saira...Dekhiye...Agar aap ye daudna band nahi karengi to Me aapko lekar nahi jaaungi!'

Saira is running around Naina in circle...not too fast but able to dodge her. Naina has packed her bag..keeping essential for her and her medicine too. She has packed some food for her which is not allergic to her. But its time to give her bath...she is running away from her.

'Saira nahaiye..chaliye. itna daudna aapke liye accha nahii...Aap bahut jyada excited ho rahi he...'

But girls is giggling and is not giving her chance to catch her..

At last Naina sits on the couch..

She stops and comes to her with thief like steps....

And suddenly jumps into her lap..amd kisses her cheek...surprising her..

She is holding her cheek with her tiny hands..

'Aap bahut acche ho!'

Naina is looking at this cutie with amusement in her eyes...

'Accha! Chalo...isi bat par nahane..'

And the old girl is back..

She attempts to run again..but this time Naina catches her...kissing her pouted cheek...and nuzzling them..She is taking her to bathroom while she is whining...

'Saira apko kabhi pyaar nahi karegi! Saira aapse gussa he...chhodiye hume...Saira ko nahi jana waha..'

But she never listens and takes her to bathroom...

She is laughing looking at this naughty little girl who has sudden lit lamps and stars in her life.

Suddenly it so peaceful and content....

She pours water on her and she shrieks...Citing her distaste to her..amd her efforts..and dislike to her too..

'Saira ab aapse baat nahi karegi...'

And she has gone in angry avatar....and is angry with her.

Soon she finishes her bath and takes her outside wrapping in a towel. Hurriedly she changes her clothes not letting girl feel any more cold. But the girl is still angry....

Soon she is out with her....in one hand her bag while saira in her lap...

Saira is still angry...and Naina is amused seeing this girl' restraint.

Now she has to plan for making this bundle of cute anger happy again...She is happy to oblige....

____________________

He is in his cabin..Staring at a file mindlessly. His mind is filled of morning scenes...

Naina' attempts of getting closer to Saira..and his helplessness. Like a cherry of top Saira has begun to like Naina' presence too much.

She is getting attached to Naina...with lightening speed. He can see this.

But.....He is unable to take any action. Because his jaan is ready to go any extent for her company.

He is aware that Saira is sneaking into her room at late nights. This girl so young who would not even budge after nine in morning, feigns to sleep till he is out of her sight and room. Then she gets up and sleeps with Naina.

He wants to stop her..but seeing her happy and all excited and chirpy with her...His heart has decided to keep silent.....all of sudden.

He was not in mood to allow Naina to take Saira with her...but Saira' puppy eyes behind curtain begged him. And his denial almost brought tears in those almonds...He cant take it. She is his life...He has only her..Reason of his breathing...Hence he cant see her crying.

He holds his head. This is not what it should be. He is against their closeness...but he cant ho against it. His daughter is now standing between him and Naina.

He sighs and shuts the file. Last time he had taken the blow somehow...this time...he doesn't think he could bear that pain again. ..

Arwa! Saira aapki bhi beti he. Us nanhi si jaan ke bare me to sochiye....wo abhi bacchi he. Aapke bagair kaise rah sakti he? Phir se socho Arwa...please...hamare bare me nahi to Us bacchi ke bare me socho. Us ki khatir Arwa...please...Dont go..

And before she could even tell her decision or bash him..A girl is crying bitterly at the door. He rushes to her...and scoops her in his arms..but...

The next moments her breathing has ragged...and she is getting asthma attack. He has no time for begging now..He rushes to hospital leaving Arwa behind...and perhaps giving her perfect opportunity to escape from all burden and responsibilities.

Since that day He has taken every possible measure to prevent any kind of problem to her..he has kept her away from all type of dangers...from excitement, physical labour, sentiments and relations....

But out of nowhere Naina has landed in this house...breaking borders built by him...

He checks time. Its still two PM. And Naina has not called yet.

His temper is rising....slowly slowly..

___________________

Naina has joined the hospital and the same day has taken a day off. Whole time when she was in hospital Saira was roaming here and there and it was almost impossible to focus on her work with her presence around...

Hence she took a day off. The people around her knows Naushad very well...and the fact that she is his wife has provided her some privileges..

like Saira having special attention while she is busy with paper work or talking with her seniors and knowing them. Saira meanwhile roamed in corridors along One of Naina' new colleague...Pooja Ghai. Pooja talking with her and buying her food stuffs from canteen. Pooja at once started liking Saira the moment she met her. So she took her...and Gabe her a tour dè hospital. It just gave her time..enough to understand her work. 

And when she was done.....she took first day leave itself. even it was for half day.

Now she is standing at the door of Hospital while saira is doing left right.

both girls are busy in thinking...a very important topic itself.

'so...Saira aapne socha aap pahle kaha jaayengi?'

and the younger girl is deep engrossed in thinking. she is selecting place or say places...yo visit.

'naina. Aap batao na. Saira ko kuch samajh nahi aa raha..'

'Hmm...Ek kaam karte he. Pahle mall road chalte he..phir kufri..Pahle khana phir...ghumna..Ok?'

amd the girl squeals....Jumping to her lap. Hugging her..and kissing her.

soon they are at Mall road. .roaming from one shop to other...

Naina spots a tiny tiara...and tries it on Saira..who looks like an angel.

'aaha. Ab aap saira se ban gayi Hamari princess!'

and the girl giggles..

Then some clothes, bangles, Ear rings, toys, many more things....

Saira is so excited watching shiny and fluffy stuffs. she points at one teddy..

'Saira ko wo chahiye..'

a life size teddy who is big enough to hide whole tiny front of her...

'Ek condition par. Aap rat ko Sirf hamare sath soyengi na ki is ke sath. Wada?'

'Wada. Iske pass apki jaisi kahani nahi he na . isliye Saira sirf aapke pass aayegi Rat me.'

'accha! Aapko Sirf kahaniyo se matlab he...Humse nahi! Cute little monster..Chalo ab. Bhookh nahi lagi!' and she pinches her cheek..After buying her that teddy which is not the soft toy type as to cause her any kind of allergy..and lifting her teddy aka Saira in her lap..

Saira is holding her neck and giggling...

'Naina. Aapko pata he Abbu hamare liye aisa hi ek bada sa khilauna laaye the...Lekin Saira se wo gum gaya.'

'Koi nahi. Ye nahi gumega. Hum he na. isko baandh kar rakhenge. Ab batao aap kya khaoge?'

Saira is excited seeing different coloured foods and different drinks..She wants to have cold drink..

Naina denies..

She is angry now..

'Saira..Wo aapko suit nahi karega. Aapne qada kiya tha na..Ki aap ye sab nahi khaoge!'

'bas aaj naina..sirf ek dafa. Saira ko wo pina he..'

but she denies and Saira is hell angry now. She turns her face...

but soon She forgets her anger as Naina has brought her her favourite.

'Just like me! So easy to handle.' And she chuckles seeing her cutie having fun and enjoying her day...

Both are busy...in having fun..Not keeping track of time...

_______________________

It is around half past eight and Whole house is lit. As the weather is cold everyone should be asleep so people are except one person...

Naushad.

he is wide awake and sitting in the drawing room. Eyeing door and watching his watch now and then.

suddenly the door opens and Naina barges in with sleeping Saira and a big huge teddy and two bags. Managing them somehow. When she is inside she drops the begs..and teddy. and holds Saira' sleeping form with her both hands. Before she can reach to room, He has come to her in two long strides.

His face is showing his state of mind...disturbed and angry.

he snatches Saira from her lap and holds her himself.

'Humne aapse kaha tha..Sham hone se pahle Ghar aa jayiyega! Aap ko bhale hi ye yaad na ho ki itni rat aur thand me bahar rahna uske liye theek nahi...Lekin hume yaad he. isliye aage se Tum Meri beti ko kabhi bahar nahi le jaaogi.'

and within moments he is disappeared with Saira to his room...

Naina with blank face is looking towards the direction he went.

Gifts and teddy are long forgotten on floor near the gate..

_________________

Its around midnight. She is unable to sleep. Her eyes are wet so her cushion is. She has been silently crying since past two hours.

His behaviour made her angry first..then she found herself guilty...then..she was angry on him as he never tried to know the reasons ..why they were late. layer her mind went to the moment he had snatched Saira from her lap. Soon she felt so stranger in this big house. alone among people...Loner with relations..

Her mind is going back to his words...all words he delivered to her. All rude words. and in this state she unknowingly is connecting dots of her brutal fate.

remembering Naveen Bhaiya...And happy days she spent with him...As right now what she needs most is a comforting company. a warm cuddle...

She is married but no one is there for her right now. He has made her realise this...with his actions today.

she wants to believe the fact he could have his reasons and Saira is his daughter whom he cares much for.

but her heart who has developed a strong bond with that bundle of her joy, denies to believe all those facts..And begins to wail over the fact that She is alone in this huge world.

First her parents..then her bhaiya...

Now ....Her right..on her daughter.

If there is law in world, Saira is her daughter. And she has absorbed this fact so religiously that now when she is alone, she is seeking her.

She is aware tht he is rude with words...But still Those words has affected her. Very much.

She cried more...silently.

suddenly she hears a louder cry...not hers but of Saira..

Soon the girl is banging her door with her tiny hands..

she is taken aback...but she comes in senses..It is not her dream.

she at once rushes to open the door..

there she is. in his father' lap. Red puffy eyes...just like her.

the moment she spots Naina. she jumps to her lap..

Naina doesn't take time and hugs her close to her heart forgetting his presence. She smothers her face..With her kisses. and letting some tears escaping her pool og eyes..

'Saira ko Naina ke sath sona he.. Aapne Humko waha kyu bheja? Saira ko aapke bagair neend nahi aati..' She tells her with hiccups..

Naina nods...And takes her inside...

tugging her to bed with herself. and hugging ger close to her heart. Her heart suddenly so light. Her complains with her fate long forgotten...

saira cups her face...Noticing her red eyes..

'Aap Ro rahe the? Aapko Bhi Akele Neend nahi aati?'

'haa..Hume bji Saira ke bagair Neend nahi aati. wada kariye...Aap hume nahi chhodengi. Aap hamre sath hi soyengi. kariye wada!'

and the little one is nodding. then she snuggles close to her. hugging her more tightly..and mumbling something..

Before She can even register the girl is asleep...making her smile. 

'my sleepy head. Naina loves you Saira...so much  as sometimes it scares my heart."

she kisses her hair and shuts her eyes...Soon falling asleep...Forgetting she was angry with him..and her life...and her marriage..and every damn thing. Now her tear stained face is so calm and peaceful..

Door is still occupied by him who has watched whole breakdown and reunion part....
