The next day was full of joy as the shopping for the festival was started. It was nine in the morning when Naina came from the market two bags filled with marigold flowers and roses.

"Where were you beta?" nanu asked once she entered inside the house.

"Went to buy some flowers nanaji, we can get fresh flowers only in the morning". She showed the bag to him.

"Theek hai beta, go & take your breakfast first, we all finished". He smiled.

Naina nodded returning to their room. Sameer was standing Infront of the mirror buttoning up his shirt.

"aap Kahan chal gae thi madam?" he asked with a straight face.

"Market.....Kuch....Kuch phool laane ke liye". Her voice was shaken with fear.

With a swift moment he turned to her picking up the bag from her hand. He took out a hand full of flowers, inhaling their fragrance of it.

"hmmm.....smells good...". His lips slowly curved into a smile, taking a deep breath in the freshness and mingling it through his soul. And it instantly made his mind fresh.

Naina watched his moves keenly & let out a appeased breath. "Sameer..aapko yeh Pasand aaye kya?".

"Ah....why you bought alot Naina? Are you going to bath with this flowers..? he asked with a lopsided smile.

"sameer.....aap bhi nah, this is for decoration". She smiled softly.

As they stepped down from their room together, Nanu watched them with a contented smile on his face. 'The couple made in heaven" was written apt for them only. They indeed a couple made for eachother with the bond of contract papers. The truth.

"Nanu, shall we go....?" asked Sameer bending down to take his blessings.

" no beta, you stay in home and help Naina with shopping, I'll manage there in office.." Nanu took the documents from his hand.

Sameer looked at him bewildered as the elderly man left the newly wedded couple alone to enjoy festive celebration. Only the two of them, where it can pave the path for their close proximity both mentally and physically.

" It's okay Sameer.....aap aaram Karo..I'll go by myself" she stated, her voice low.

"why? You want me to get scold from Nanu?. Mein tumhaare Saath aaunga phir, kisne tumhe kidnap Kiya tho, oh god! Main kya karoonga Naina? tumhari bina..." he said holding his heart dramatically.

Naina looked at him stunned for a second and she broke into a fit of laughter, filling his eyes with delight and his lips reflected her smile.

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

Sameer stopped the car Infront of the huge building majestically standing in the centre of Ahmedabad. A newly innovated 'one stop mall' in the city, ranging with all types of products.
They moved into a dress shop, as they entered Sameer looked at the crowd in amusement, variety of materials stacked in the shelf neatly & salesmen spreading the cloth, showcasing sarees to the customers holding it to their body.

Naina moved to the corner counter.
"Naina....saree is there.." Sameer nudged her looking at the counter.

"But we came to buy Kurta for you & Nanu"..she gestured him to select one.

He scanned the shelf top to bottom "bhaiya...give me that peach colour Kurta".

"yeh...bhout ache hai sir...hamare Pas in design mei 4 colours hai..".the salesman spread it out in the table proudly.

It has a simple flower embroidery in its neck and the centre pocket.

"Is it good for Nanu?.." he looked at Naina for her opinion.

"Ah...it look good on Nanu..."she confirmed.

Sameer looked for the new design Kurta and it almost half & hour, he was still searching for another in the clothes stacked Infront of him. He took out a pearl white Kurta simply embroider in its lapes and kept it o n his shoulder and looked at Naina.

"Yeh kaise hai...?".

Naina was drinking in the view of him. Her chain of imaginations going haywire with him dressing in that pearl white Kurta, holding her so close to his chest and twirling sparkles (phool jhadi/mathapoo). It burns slowly emitting colour flames and sparks while both burnt with the flame evoking inside them.

The click of his finger brought her to the reality that she was standing in the middle of the shop running not so bad thoughts in her mind.

"Kya hua Naina?, Statue game khel rage hai kya?. He grinned widely.

She nodded sluggishly. "so tell is it looking good on me?". He asked holding it on him and she slightly nodded. And it was finalized.

Naina silently walked Infront of him, reminding herself that she hasn't any rights to think about him with her so close like that. A gentle pull on her wrist stopped her in midway & she looked behind at his fingers curled around her wrist pulling her close to him with every steps.

"Kahan jaa rahi hai Naina?, tumhe saree dekhna nahi hai kya?" he whispered softly in her ear.

"Nahi....mere pass bohat saree hai Sameer, bas blouse stitch Karne ke lie jaana hoga .....". she pulled out her hand from his hold as his touch invited the invisible butterflies inside her stomach.

"Mujhe aaj jaana hai tailor ke paas, aap mere Saath aagoi nah?..". she looked behind at him hopefully.

Sometimes we don't know what we're doing & why? But we goes with like that as time passed tick by tick.

And he too did as the same.

"Ah.... I'll come Naina, wait inside the car, I'll pay for this..". he accepted the offer himself without thinking the aftermath of it. And returned with the extra bag in his hand and kept it inside the car before she notice.

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

They drove to the town market as Naina rolled down the car window the chill wind caressed them, making goosebumps in their bodies.

"Naina....are you sure? Is the shop is here?" he asked confused as they stepped into the narrow street with small shops over there.

" ah......, Preeti always come here only......,Sameer it's here " she stopped infront of a shop.

Three men were sat inside with machines stitching blouse and suits. Two other men measuring & cutting the pieces.

Sameer frowned at them and pulled her aside. It was sudden pull,as Naina directly landed on his chest. Their eyes met together. His eyes moving to her parted lips as she clutched his arms tightly in the fear.

She was confused with the look of his eyes. It was something different she never saw before, no anger, no hate, no dismay. But it was the burning look melting her into puddles again to fit In his arms.

"naina....you came to a wrong shop, this is for men.." he whispered softly.

Naina felt the damped butterflies inside her stomach getting alive once again in a day.

"Nahi.....Nahi...sameer., it's the right shop". She stammered in his hand.

"Aapko Kuch banana hai kya?", a middle-aged man asked glaring at both of them.

Sameer quickly removed his hand from her, hearing his voice and stood aside.

"ha.....ha....uncle, mujhe blouse banwana hai... tumhaare Pas koi design hai kya?". She forwarded him the bag she bought from home.

"ha.....andhar aao" he let them inside taking out a layout with design from his drawer.

"Yeh Sab naya aayi hai, isme tumhaare basand batao, I'll make like that..". the tailor remarked.

Naina examined that each one by one. Sameer leaned to her side, taking a look of it.

"this one is okay...."naina pointed out the design she selected to the tailor.

Sameer closely glanced at the design and his eyes popped wide. The back neck of the blouse was so deep tying in the end with two strings and the front was not deep as much.

He sighed in relief only to stiffened at the very next moment.

"Theek hai madam, bahut achi design hai, mein aapka naap leta hoon" tailor pulled out his measurement tape moving Infront of Naina.

"ek......ek minute, uncle tumhaare paas koi ladies tailor Nahi hai kya?" Sameer screamed a little aloud.

"nahi.....meri wife yahan thee, lekin voh aaj chutti par hai". The man glanced Sameer indulging in his work again.

Sameer pursed his lips looking at otherside as the man's hand moved to her shoulder and then arms taking the measurement and writing down it in his small notebook.

Then he moved near her taking the tape around her body to her front.
Sameer stilled.

"uncle ek minute.....Naina....do you have a sample blouse?" Sameer moved near her as the middle aged man slung the tape on his neck with a understanding smile.

"Ha....ha...Sameer I have....but I didn't brought that"

Sameer relaxed a bit.

"No problem...we can go now, I'll give him the sample blouse in evening, is it okay uncle?" Sameer looked at him hopefully.

"As you wish..."the man said starting his previous work.

Both of them came out of the shop, Sameer with a unknown relief and Naina with a confusion, then she chuckled in understanding.

"Why are you laughing now naina?" he asked serious.

"What is your problem with the tailor Sameer?" her laughs doubled.

"hello....madam, I'll do the same if any other girl also in your place, don't take advantage okay?.." he strode towards the car hurriedly hiding his smile.

She stopped, looked at him with a smile and walk behind him following his steps.
