Naina seeing them both still in fun mood, left from their holding Nehu's hand to let Sameer get changed inside the bathroom... coming out she quickly changed her clothes and start clearing the mess created by two great artists...

Sameer came out rubbing his wet hairs wearing black t-shirt and pants looking extremely hot and handsome as always... her eyes remain glued to his well-built muscular body forgetting all her surroundings... luckily, Nehu had gone out to meet Swati as since yesterday she hardly spent time with her...

Sameer's eyes landed only to see her beautiful face shining under the streetlight coming out from window... her eyes were classy, lips were alluring, and his eyes too travelled down through her goddess like body, still wet showing her all perfect curves... her front view was exquisite to behold...

He stepped ahead towards her leaving the towel on side table and his jaw almost dropped at the floor with amusement after seeing the fine piece of art standing in front of him... he couldn't stop himself staring at her without blinking his eyes making her blushed profusely by seeing his reaction...

Naina shifting her gaze looking down stepped ahead passing him to go and change her wet clothes but halt finding a soft grip on her wrist. Her breath become abnormal by his sudden touch with raging emotions churning inside her stomach. Staring at Sameer, she did nothing as she stood there without blinking. All she knew was that her blood is rushing in her ears, and she could feel her pulse pounding in her wrist and neck.

She opened her dried mouth but closed it again nervously lowering her eyes. "I... I need to change... please..." she blabbered slowly without looking at him... but more than on her words his focus was settled on her luscious lips, he wanted to kiss right at the moment for hours... he doesn't know how this simple heck beautiful girl brings so many fantasies out of him...

It's true, a beauty of the woman can be man's worse destruction... and he was all willing to destroy.

"Are you trying to seduce me?" he whispered seductively, peered straight into her eyes with affection. Naina felt the tiny hairs at the back of her neck stands to attention... she closed her eyes, slightly parted her lips to say but nothing came out of her mouth... she leaned more into his touch.

Sameer wrapped his left arm around her waist and caressed her face with right hand... he began trailing kisses from her earlobe down to her neck, "you are damn so beautiful" he whispered in between kisses but suddenly pulled himself away from her hearing a loud shriek from outside...

They both looked at each other worriedly and rushed outside the room together shouted, "Angel" "Nehu"

They both rushed out and shocked to see the little one standing in between the pile of carton boxes all distracted with a strange expression... Sameer quickly rushed to her side pulling her in his arms, "what happen Angel... why did you shout?" he touched her body everywhere to check if she gets injured somewhere but nothing seems like...

Angel pointed towards the boxes asked, "yeh kya hai Papa?" then only they understood she was shocked to see so many boxes lying everywhere in the living room, which now looks like a godown.

Naina shook her head seeing her drama came ahead, "Nehu why did you shout like this... hum toh darr hi gaye the ki kahin aapko kuchh ho toh nahin gaya... don't do this again okay?" she said caressing her hairs lovingly... she was elated seeing how much Sameer got worried for Nehu just hearing her screaming.

Naina turning to Sameer asked, "ya, infact mujhe bhi puchhna tha... what is all this... abhi thodi der pehle koi deliver karke gaya hai yeh sab... have you asked someone to drop all this here?" she asked as earlier she had never seen that person around him, but he was the same person who took her fingerprints for door lock few hours back only.

Sameer composing himself giving a tight kiss on Angel's cheek smiled, "yeh sab toh meri Angel ke liye hai... uske Papa ki taraf se chhota sa gift".

He sits on floor there only making her sit in his lap, pulled a box, "we decided to play indoor game today, so I brought few games for you... now tell me what you want to play?" he asked looking at little one who was overwhelmed seeing all the boxes carrying so many gifts and toys only for her.

Naina got shocked hearing this and blurt instantly, "Sameer, Nehu sirf chaar saal ki hai and indoor games ka matlab hota hai Ludo ya Carrom... lekin lagta hai aapne toh poori toys and games ki shop hi kharid li..."

Sameer busy in opening the cartons replied casually, "lekin Angel ka man agar kuchh aur khelne ka hua toh... aur yeh sab toh meri Angel ke liye toys aur games hi hai... baaki sab..." before he said further doorbell rings again...

Naina giving him an "impossible" look went and opened the door and shocked to see the same person again standing at her door, "Maam, voh yeh kuchh thode se packets aur hai" saying this before she responds few persons entered carrying so many bags in both their hands and left placing it on the sofa and table lying there...

Naina came back closing the door asked sternly looking at his living room which has now turned into a complete godown, "Sameer yeh sab aur kya hai?"

Sameer giving a cute smile replied, "voh maine apni Angel ke liye kuchh dresses kharidi hai... don't worry bas itani si hi toh hai... baaki ki shopping hum kal saath jaakar karenge... I want her to buy everything as per her choice only".

Angel grinned widely giving a tight kiss to him, "my Papa is best... aapki choice toh sabse best hai"

Naina slapped her own forehead and muttered seeing his craziness, "yeh bas itna sa hai toh jyaada kya hota hai... poora ghar kisi godown se kam nahin lag raha... chalne ki bhi jagah nahin bachi..." she said slowly taking a deep breath to control her anger.

Naina went back to her room and rushed to the washroom to change as she was still in her slightly wet clothes... after changing her dress she remains in the bathroom still... she closed her eyes and remember the scene between her and Sameer just a while ago and her heart start beating fast again... she imagined the scene when he locked her in his cage, looking at her face in a close gap. Till now she can remember the warmth of his palms and the alluring scent that put her limit on edge... nothing happened much between them but she was contented.

Coming out she looked at the scattered room and concentrate her mind back to the work in hand... she starts unpacking his big bags, trying to accommodate in her small wardrobe getting irritated, "mere itne chhote se ghar mein itna saara saaman kaise adjust karun... galti ho gayi jo park jaane se roka... inhone toh ghar ko hi playing zone bana diya..."

She shuddered feeling a tight grip on her waist from back pulling her towards him, "mujhe sirf tumhare dil mein jagah chahiye... saamaan toh apne aap set ho jayega" his lips touched softly on her cheeks with a blush creeping up her face... she melted in his touch lowering her eyes unable to deny that how much his touch affects her.

She opened her mouth to say something, but nothing comes out in the heated moment... his husky seductive voice rang in her ear, "sorry sweetheart".

Naina looked at him confusingly when he smiled saying, "voh actually aaj time nahin tha toh sirf Angel ke liye thode se toys aur dresses hi select kar paaya... sorry tumhare liye kuchh nahin laaya but promise hum time milte hi shopping par jayenge..." he genuinely wanted to fulfil all his responsibilities towards them which was missed from last few years.

Naina's eyes turned misty recalling how earlier also he always takes care of all her needs without even asking her... though she never wanted for expensive gifts and pampering but his all-little actions touched her... she replied, "aap jaante hai mujhe inn sab cheejon ka shok nahin... mere liye Nehu ki khushi hi kaafi hai... aur phir jab gift uske Papa laaye ho toh uski khushi alag hi hai"

Sameer trailing his fingers on her soft cheeks replied, "I know meri Naina ko kya chahiye... tumhein gift se jyaada mera saath pasand hai so now I am all yours... forever".

Naina remains quiet looking at his handsome charming face so close to her, oblivious of the war going on in her mind and heart... her heart wants to believe on his words and relish the moment, forgetting everything around but her mind keeps reminding her the time they are spending will end soon and again she will be left alone, without him...

Sameer seeing her so quite asked suddenly changing the topic, "you must be tired now... let me help you to settle all this" saying this he parted away from her and starts picking up his clothes from bag and passed it to Naina to keep it in almirah... he had observed that since morning how much work she is doing non-stop... be it cooking or managing whole house or working at resort, she was working continuously but how can he leave her alone in anything.

They both quietly do their work avoiding looking each other but restrain themselves staying away from each other... Sameer smiled faintly thinking how much difficult it is for him to keep himself in control seeing her so close but still lots of matters to be settled down before he steps ahead in their relation...

Suddenly he asked looking into her eyes, "Naina can I ask you something" Naina halt seeing his questioning look not aware what he wanted to ask suddenly but nodded her head slowly...

Sameer, "tumhara kabhi man nahin hua mujhse aakar milne ka... kya ek baar bhi tumhein meri yaad nahin aayi... na hi jab mera operation huaa... I hope tumhein khabar toh mil hi gayi hogi mere theek hone ki..." he was always wishing her to come and meet him after his operation as knew how much it matters to her but to his dismay, she never approaches him and asked about his well-being.

Naina feeling pain in his voice feels more guilty, how to say that she came to meet him on the day of his wedding and left without seeing him as never wanted to spoil best day of his life. How can she say that she followed him on all social media keeping a tab about his professional achievements but never get glimpse of his personal life as he himself always restricted anyone to publish about his personal life.

Sameer coming closer hold her shivering hand softly looking keenly into her eyes like he was searching of his answers which was killing him for so long. They were so good to each other as he never got any reason for her to be so mad on him to leave him suddenly. He asked again holding her face in his palm, "bolo na Naina, kabhi man nahin hua mujhse ek baar bhi milne ka... maana humne bohot thoda waqt saath bitaya lekin kya hum itane paraye the ki tumne kabhi palat kar bhi meri taraf nahin dekha... kya hamara saath bitaya voh waqt, voh saare hamare moments koi maayne nahin rakhte the tumhare liye ya shayad yun kahoon tum mujhe meri galtiyon ke liye kabhi maaf hi nahin kar paayi"

Naina slowly shook her head looking down feeling guilty that how can she answer him or seems like he was asking her to open her heart in front of him revealing her true feelings... knowing there is no future of them together she never wanted to give him any hopes, "sorry lekin mein kabhi bhi aapse naraaz nahin thi... shayad jis tarah hum achanak mile, ek dusre ki zindagi mein bina ijazat aaye usi tarah ek din yun achanak hamara alag hona likha tha..."

"I've missed you" he says quietly, but loud enough for her to hear. Those words freeze her to the spot. They were filled with so many emotions which she could not decipher. He was talking about the years they had spent apart but making her more confused that when he was with love of his life then why he missed her so much.

She takes a step back removing his hand, "mujhe nahin maloom kya sahi hai aur kya galat lekin hum gaye waqt ko vaapas nahin badal sakte... hamare liye yahi sahi hoga ki hum apane ateet ko pichhe chhod kar apne aaj ke baare mein soche... aur mera aaj Nehu hai, mere jeene ki wajah..." saying this holding her tears ready to spill out any moment, she turned to go out from room avoiding his piercing eyes which never leave noticing even a tiny expression on her face.

Sameer smiled faintly wiping his own misty eyes, "aur mere jeene ki wajah tum aur Angel ho... kaash jo tumhare dil mein chhupa hai voh ek baar tum apni jubaan par laati lekin hamesha ki tarah aaj bhi apne dil ki baat tumne chhupa li... mein bhi dekhta hoon kab tak apne dil ke jazbaat mujhse chhupaogi kyunki tumhari aankhen tumhare dil ka aaina hai... jo pyaar mere dil mein tumhare liye hai vahi pyaar mujhe tumhari aankhon mein mehsoos hota hai, jo kabhi mujhse jhuth nahin bol paati... aakhir tumhari inn jheel si gehri aankhon mein sirf mere sapne jo base hai"

Sameer came out seeing Nehu busy in playing games with Swati... he also joined them having fun time and in between discussing secretly with Swati how to let Naina open her heart to share her feeling.

Naina coming out from kitchen called them all for dinner... Sameer sits at the side of Angel and Naina in front of him besides Swati... he noticed how Naina prepare all his favourite dishes in dinner today...

Nehu asked making a cute innocent pout, "Papa I am very tired... please aap mujhe khaana khila doge"

Sameer laughed seeing her tactics and pulled her sitting in his lap... making a small bite he feed her with his own hands, "you don't need to request bachcha... aaj se aapko khaana mein khud apne haath se hi khilaunga"

Swati looked at the drama girl said, "huh... kal tak toh koi big girl hone ka daawa kar raha tha aur aaj chhotu sa baby ban gaya apne Papa ke saamne... I am a big girl maasi" she mimicked her words to tease her

Nehu giving a flattering smile, "par aapne hi toh kaha tha ki mein hamesha aap sabki baby rahungi... aur mein toh apne Papa ki Angel hoon toh mein unke haath se kha sakti hoon"

Naina laughed seeing her tactics asked, "aur aapko school mein kaun khilayega"

Seeing Angel confused to answer Sameer replied supporting her, "don't worry baby, aapke Papa school mein bhi aapke liye aa jaayenge... in fact aapke liye ek naya school banwayenge jahaan babies apne Papa ke saath rah sake..." saying he kissed on her chubby cheeks making her laugh loud

Naina slapped her palm on her forehead, "bas yahi baaki rah gaya tha... ab toh ho gayi iski padaai jab Papa bhi school jayenge iske saath" she shook her head seeing them ignoring all others and keep busy in discussing what all they can do together, leaving no chance to stay away.

Dinner went in listening her chirpy voice, feeling happy to get chance to stay with Sameer all the time. Seeing her finishing her food, Swati took her to go out for a short walk leaving the love birds alone.

Naina stood from her chair and went towards him sitting beside him and serve a fresh plate for him, "Nehu ki wajah se aapne abhi tak khaana nahin khaaya... please kha lijiye" she had noticed his gloomy face after their chat in room.

Sameer took a bite feeding her, "mujhe maloom hai khaana toh tumne bhi nahin khaaya" he had observed that since he was busy in feeding Angel, Naina also didn't even touched her food.

Naina also fed him a bite but surprised saying, "sorry Sameer..."

He looked at her confusingly seeing her apologizing to him for no reason when she feed him again saying, "don't ask please... I know I was wrong and now even my apology cannot change anything but still I am sorry... sorry for everything I did wrong... unintentionally..." saying this she stood from there and went outside leaving him alone sitting there. She is in guilt for ruining everyone's life and except repenting she can't do anything more.

Naina went to the back side of the house sitting alone on the swing, relaxing with the cool ocean breeze brushing her skin. The sound of waves and the clouds lazily floating by made her mind drifted as well. Sitting there she let her worries and distraction slowly under the flow of waves. At this moment, she just wanted to forget all her worries, her fear of losing him again but her guilty of leaving him years back is killing her more, since the day she realized her mistake but like says, "gaya waqt palat kar nahin aata"

Kaash ek baar maine Sameerji se baat kar li hoti toh aaj hum teenon ek saath ek pariwaar ki tarah hote. Meri aur Sameerji ki tarah aaj Nehu bhi adhure pariwaar ka dard sah rahi hai. Aaj voh mere paas aaye hai contract ki wajah se lekin jis tarah voh Nehu ke itane kareeb aa rahe hai, lagta hai mujhe unhein samajhane mein ek baar phir se galti ho gayi. Ek man karta hai unhein Nehu se dur rakhun lekin donon ke beech ka yeh Anmol pyaara sa bandhan dekh kar lagta hai jo ho raha hai voh theek hai. Nehu ka koi rishta toh nahin lekin agar kuchh waqt ke liye usey ek pita ka pyaar mil raha hai toh mein selfish ho kar usey kaise rok sakti hoon.

She didn't know how long she remain seated there seeing the crashing waves to the shore like a similar storm raging in her heart. The place was always her peace place but today nothing can give her inner peace to suppress the chaos inside her.

Nehu called her from back, "Mummy chalo na mere saath, mujhe neend aa rahi hai" she said pulling her hand.

Naina smiled caressing her head, "it's okay bachcha, aap Papa ke saath so jaao kal ki tarah... mein thodi der mein aati hoon" she doesn't want to deny her but has left no nerves to face Sameer who left no chance to keep reminding her all their past sweet memories.

Nehu shook her head, "nahin Mummy, aaj mujhe aap donon ke saath sona hai jaise mere saare friends sote hai... apne Mummy Papa ke saath... ek saath... please chalo na..." leaving her dumbfound as how can she explain that they cannot sleep together like other normal families.

Before Naina denied further felt a soft hand on her shoulder, "please Naina andar chalo... dekho kitni raat bhi ho gayi hai aur Angel hum donon ke saath hi sona chahti hai..."

She turned to see Sameer standing nearby her, giving her an assuring smile, "please..." he requested calmly knowing how much she must be disturbed with his sudden appearance. He knew within a day he left no chance to tease her, irritate her but he loved her more than anything and cannot see her upset so much. Even if she is not willing to open her heart, he can wait till eternity.

Naina nodded her head when Sameer picked up the little one in his arm... keeping his hand around her shoulder family of three went inside to their room to sleep together... first time.

Sameer sitting on one side of bed picked up the Walkman to play her favourite song when Nehu said, "Papa yeh toh aapki hi awaaz hai na... toh jab aap mere paas ho toh mujhe aapse gaana sunana hai, is cassette se nahin... please koi aur gaana gaao na mere liye..."

Sameer smiled keeping the Walkman back, "okay... toh bataao kaun sa gaana sunegi meri Angel"

Nehu grinned widely saying, "jo bhi aap aur Mummy milkar sunaao... aapko pata hai Mummy bhi bohot achchha gaati hai bilkul aapki tarah" she holds Naina's hand also pulling her towards them.

Naina looked shockingly at Sameer that how can she sing with him but before she denied Sameer agreed to Angel's request, "okay bachcha... jaisa aap chaaho... aapko pata hai na how much Mummy Papa loves you toh aapki itani chhoti si khwahish hum kaise poori nahin karenge" he said looking at Naina with a pleading expression to agree to her little request.

Naina leaving with no other chance agreed, making her laid down in between them, "okay aap leto hum donon aaj aapko lori sunate hai..."

Angel laid down in between both holding their hands with her both hands seem she was scared of that one of them will leave her alone... Naina laying besides her patted on her head lovingly starts singing...

मेरे घर आई एक नन्ही परी, एक नन्ही परी

चांदनी के हसीन रथ पे सवार, मेरे घर आई एक नन्ही परी ...

Sameer joined singing with her caressing her little face giving a soft peck on her cheeks.

उसकी बातों में शहद जैसी मिठास

उसकी सासों में इतर की महकास

होंठ जैसे के भीगे-भीगे गुलाब

गाल जैसे के बहके-बहके अनार, मेरे घर आई ...

Angel smiled hearing both her parents singing for her pulled both together getting more closer to her... their faces were just an inch away from each other.

Naina continued further stroking her slender fingers in her hair lovingly...

उसके आने से मेरे आंगन में

खिल उठे फूल गुनगुनायी बहार

देख कर उसको जी नहीं भरता

चाहे देखूँ उसे हज़ारों बार, मेरे घर आई ...

Angel's eyes were getting heavy unable to awake any more but her grip on their hands were as tight as earlier.

On the contrary now they were revealing their feelings rather than singing a lullaby to their little one. Sameer looking into Naina's eyes sing further expressing his feelings for her that how much he adores her presence in his life... indeed she is his dream girl, who brings all happiness in his life when he lost his all hopes after his accident...

मैने पूछा उसे के कौन है तू

हंसके बोली के मैं हूँ तेरा प्यार

Naina completed the lines looking straight into his eyes, depicting how he always remain in her heart.

मैं तेरे दिल में थी हमेशा से

घर में आई हूँ आज पहली बार ....

They both stopped singing further, remained looking into each other eyes with so much of unexplainable emotions, not realising that Nehu has already drifted into deep sleep, with both her parents besides her.

After few minutes breaking their eye contact Naina realized Nehu sleeping peacefully still holding their hands... she tried to pull her hand from her firm grip when Sameer stops her knowing she will surely leave the room now like last day, "please hilo mat varna Angel jaag jayegi... vaise bhi agar raat mein uski neend khuli toh voh tumhein hi dhudhengi, so better you sleep here only... atleast hum apni beti ki itani si demand toh maan hi sakte hai na... please..."

Naina knowing that Nehu has habit of waking up in mid night sometimes, reluctantly laid down beside her... she kept her head on the pillow keeping her eyes closed as Sameer's gaze never left from her face even for a second... its first time after so many years that she had closed her eyes seeing his face so close to her, which seems like a dream for her.
