Hi Friends,

I know you all must be eagerly waiting for the next update... 

So, an early and long update for you all... enjoy reading... 😊

Naina has been taken into OT for immediate medical supervision... complete floor was surrounded by guards and no one allowed to enter breaching their security...

Sameer was waiting anxiously outside OT room with Pandit... Doctor informed that they removed the bullet from her arm but due to excessive blood loss she is in critical condition... moreover she is pregnant... making them worried more for her...

Nurse informed them to arrange blood as she has rare blood group which is not readily available in hospital blood bank... Pandit gladly offered to donate his as having same blood group luckily... Nurse bring him to another ward and process starts...

After more than an hour operation finished and Doctor came out from OT... he informed, "she is fine now but due to excessive blood loss she is still unconscious... hope subah tak she will be better..."

Sameer nodded feeling relieved but suddenly looked at him worriedly, when he patted on his shoulder, "don't worry... your baby is fine... I must say that he or she is a fighter like you..." he said with a genuine smile...

Sameer calmed listening this but suddenly a warmth feeling come across leaving a soft smile on his lips, "your baby..." he muttered... a strange feeling engulfed him calming his innermost soul...

They shifted her into ward under observation as she was still unconscious... Pandit bring their clothes to change from the blood stained which he was wearing.... Sameer stays awake whole night taking care of her, without even blinking his eyes once...

Pandit seeing him worried for her so much said slowly, "Sameer, you should go back home and rest... I will stay here... Doctor said its nothing to worry now... don't stress yourself if you don't want... I know you can't..." he stopped in between seeing him so lost... Sameer didn't reply nor responded to any of his words...

Pandit was observing Sameer's changed behavior towards Naina from last few days but seeing him so much distressed and hurt, makes him more suspicious... he asked, "Sameer, I know she put her life in danger to save you only but your concern for her is something more than this... I can feel you are hiding something from me... is it so?" he asked with a questioning look... since their childhood they never hide anything from each other...

Sameer tried to change his expression quickly, hiding his feelings, "it's nothing like what you feel... it's just ki aaj meri wajah se she is here so I am just trying to..." he himself was at loss of his words to explain anymore... in reality, he feel guilty hiding anything from Pandit... he doesn't want to lie him any more...

Pandit keeping his hand on her shoulders said, "look Sameer, if you are not comfortable, I will not force you, par mujhe pata hai koi aur baat jaroor hai varna tu yahaan hospital mein..."

Sameer letting out a deep sigh said instantly, "she is the same girl of Shimla..."

Pandit's eyes widen and he almost shouts, "what... Shimla girl... your Dream girl... is she same... are you sure..."

Sameer frowned glaring him, "you think I am joking... of course she is... jiske chehra teen saal se meri aankhon ke saamne raha ho usey mein kaise nahin pehchanunga... mein toh iski photo dekh kar hi pehchan gaya tha..."

Pandit asked surprisingly, "isiliye tu ne shaadi nahin roki thi... now I understood ki uska sach janane ke baad bhi tu ne kyun yeh sab hone diya... sach kahun toh yeh sab ek sapne jaisa hi hai... iss ladki ko dhundhane ke liye maine tujhse kitni request ki par tu ne kabhi uske baare mein mujhe bhi kuchh nahin bataya.... aur aaj voh iss tarah tere saamne, tere saath... tum donon ki shaadi..." he paused seeing him so quiet and asked, "so what's next... ab kya socha hai..."

Sameer was still confused on his feelings and doesn't know what to reply... he said with a gloomy face, "I don't know... I mean shayad yun milna hi hamari kismat mein tha.. varna jab mein apni zindagi se saari ummidein chhod chuka tha toh iski ek jhalak ne mujhe phir se jeene ki ummid di, mujhe ladne ka hausla diya aur mein jeet bhi gaya... par maine kabhi koshish nahin ki isey paane ki... aur phir achanak yeh meri zindagi mein shaamil ho gayi... pata nahin aane wale kal mein kya likha hai par aaj ka sach yahi hai ki mein jitna bhi koshish karun isase dur nahin ho paa raha hun... nahin chahata yeh mere paas aaye par dur jaate huye bhi nahin dekh sakta... aur aaj ek baar phir isne mujhe nayi zindagi di apni jaan ko khatre mein daal ke... pata nahin iska yeh ehsaan kabhi utaar paaunga ki nahin..." his eyes turned wet feeling her pain...

He moved closer to her bed seeing her lying unconscious, "par jaruri hai ki yeh kya chahti hai... kyaa yeh khush rah payegi mere saath, meri kamjoriyon ke saath nibha payegi... kuchh kadam chal kar kahin zindagi bojh na lagane lage... har ladki apne pati ka saath chahti hai, uskaa sahara nahin banana chaahegi... hum donon iss rishtey mein ulajh gaye hai, pata nahin koi manzil hai bhi ki yun hi bhatakate rahenge... ek hi raah lekin kinare aur manzil alag alag..." he said softly caressing her head...

Sameer mocked on his destiny, "kya kismat hai na... jiski khushi ke liye teen saal usase dur raha, usey kabhi nahin dhundha, voh khud yun meri zindagi mein aa gayi aur voh bhi vaapas jaane ke liye... par jitna bhi waqt mere saath hai, mere liye utna hi kaafi hai... baaki zindagi mein uski yaadon ke saath bita lunga... par koshish karunga ki kabhi isey pata nahin chale ki mere dil mein isake liye kya hai... yeh shaadi kabhi iske liye adchan nahin banane dunga... isey haq hai apni zindagi apni marzi se jeene ka... apni sharton par, na ki kisi majboori ya bandhan mein..."

Pandit was equally confused hearing him how destiny play with them... he doesn't want either of them to suffer any more in their life... he prayed that soon they should find out some way to handle their tangled relation... but today he is happy that his friend found his love, finally... seeing Naina from last few days he always got positive feeling towards her... might be she can get the happiness in his friend life finally.. but still a long way to go...

Pandit asked slowly, "tujhe nahin lagta tu ne divorce paper par sign karke jaldbaazi ki hai... tu pyaar karta hai toh kyun jaane de raha hai isey... mujhe nahin lagta yeh bhi khush hai iss divorce se... shayad tujhe isey ek aur mauka dena chahiye tha..."

Sameer smiled looking at her, "aur tujhe lagta hai ki maine un papers par sign kiya hai... sign sirf Naina ke hai, mere nahin... mein isko kisi bandhan mein baandh kar rakhna nahin chahta... maine iske liye sirf ek raah kholi hai aage badhne ki... agar yeh jaana chahegi toh mein nahin rokunga par agar sach mein iske dil mein mere liye kuchh hai toh duniya ki koi taakat, koi agreement humein alag nahin kar sakta... mein sirf Naina ki khushi chahta hoon..."

Pandit got relieved slightly after hearing that he just made this agreement to let Naina decide if she wants to be in this relation or not... somehow he too had this strong feeling that Naina is perfect for him... he left out from ward leaving them alone...

Kuch to hai tere mere darmiya,

warna yun baar baar mulakat na hoti,

Labo pe khamoshi,aankho se yun baat na hoti,

Tu aati rahi pass or dur jati rahi,

Ye dil kab ka dhadkna chhod deta,

agar isme teri yaad na hoti....

Sameer keep sitting close to her bed, looking her angelic face which become pale and weak... still she has a natural glow which keep his eyes bind to her though he himself was not in good condition either...

Whole night spent waiting for her to awake... during early dawn hours she blinked her eyes and stir a bit... Sameer instantly moved closer to her seeing her awake now...

Naina opened her eyes slowly seeing him sitting close to her... he lifted his hand to touch her but stops in between recalling how last time she refused and shouted on him to not let him touch her... seeing her awake he moved to go out and call nurse for her help, if she need something... he stops feeling a soft touch on his arm... he looked down to see her soft grip holding sleeves of his shirt... she said weakly as unable to speak much, "please... don't go..." somehow she was looking bit scared and a lone tear rolled out from the corner of her eyes... due to pain or what... he doesn't know... but his heart ached seeing her in such a miserable condition...

He quickly rolled out his wheelchair close to her bed, wiping her tears he caressed her forehead lovingly, "I am here... don't worry... nothing will happen to you..." she relaxed getting his assurance which makes her heart calm... her grip on his arm gets loosened feeling weak but Sameer hold her hand firmly making her calm, giving a feeling of being secure... neither of them wants to miss the warmth...

Naina felt her throat dry but didn't get courage to ask water from him... somehow he understood her unspoken words and lift her head slightly up giving his hand support... he make her drink few sips and placed her head back on pillow softly... he asked softly, "feeling better...?"... she blinked her eyes assuring herself fine... he keeps stroking his long fingers in her hair making her get relax and calm... soon she drifted into sleep again being weak under heavy medication doze...

In morning, Pandit entered into room seeing both were sleeping calmly... he smiled seeing him also sleeping, keeping his head rested on her bed side... his one hand was on her head and holding her hand tightly in his second hand even in deep sleep...

Sameer open his eyes with a jerk seeing Pandit standing bit far crossing his hands on his chest smiling naughtily... coming back to his usual hardness, he glared him asking, "why are you smiling like a fool... you should have been resting after blood donation... why didn't you go back home..."

Pandit came to him said, "I am happy that you take care of her whole night... well I am fine now and feeling happy to donate blood for her... aakhir ab ek rishta toh mera bhi hai isase... ab teri dream girl meri behen jo hai..." he paused saying deeply looking into his eyes, "more than me, you need to go back home... isn't it..?"

Sameer avoiding his question, soften his expression and said genuinely turning his gaze on the sleeping figure, "I owe you... thanks..."

Pandit too looked at her saying in a softer tone, "Sameer, you both need each other... think about it... I am sure you will not regret..." he left leaving him in daze...

Sameer turned his focus on sleeping figure thinking, "I know I love her... but will she ever like me... I know she hates me for whatever I did till now with her... but I never wants to hurt her... I just want her happiness... be it with me or without me... par kal raat mujh par iska vishwas dekh kar dil mein ek ummid jaagi hai... she was comfortable with me around her... mujhe jald hi apne sawalon ke jawaab dhundhane hai... mein aur isey ab dukhi nahin dekh sakta..."

टूट कर चाहने वाले आज भी तुझे उतना ही चाहते है,

लेकिन यह और बात है तुझे इसका एहसास

न कल था और ना आज है

Soon Bela came to stay with her when Sameer left with Pandit for some urgent work... instructing guards to not allow anyone to come near this ward... being a no. 1 businessman and from royal family he has the powers to convert whole hospital floor into a personal secure ward for her... and now her safety was his biggest concern after yesterday's attack... reluctantly he left her alone going out to deal with the situation... how could he spare the person who harm his lady love...

Naina opened her eyes seeing him missing... Bela caressed her head, "ab theek ho tum... bhagwan ka shukra hai ki tum donon theek ho... mein toh darr hi gayi thi jab pata chala attack ke baare mein... tumhein apna dhyaan rakhna chahiye tha... iss haal mein itna risk liya tumne..."

Naina smiled a bit as she always get motherly warmth from her and feel homely... Bela helped her to sit back and feed homemade light food... seeing her lost in thoughts Bela said, "ek baat kahun... kal tumne apni jaan ki parwah kiye bina Sameer ki jaan bachaayi... I am glad seeing your growing bond... apne se pehle apne pyaar ke baare mein sochna, yahi toh sachche pyaar ki nishaani hota hai..."

Naina looked at her amazingly thinking, "am I start liking him? or will he accept me ever? with someone else's child..." she realized how last night he was taking care of her... without saying he understood her feelings... is there something changing between them...

She rested for whole day feeling weak, when awake in evening finding him sitting at some distance working on his laptop... feeling her constant gaze, he turned to look at her... they both lost in each other's eyes oblivious to their surrounding... he rolled over to her side without breaking their eye contact when she failed in her attempt to sit back by her own as one of her shoulder was bandaged and giving acute pain...

He rushed to his side scolding her, "can't you take rest and laid down... kahaan jaana hai ab tumko... don't dare to move out from bed... understood.." she remained in her position scared of his scolding... he took a deep sigh controlling his anger as don't want to shout on her at this time but worried for her wound and health condition...

Sameer sitting close to her bed asked sternly, "why did you went out from car yesterday when I told you to stay inside... you have any hearing problem also...?"

Naina lost on her words seeing him back in his usual attitude and scared to reply anything... she fumbled, "voh... actually... i... thought... I mean.."

Sameer keeping his hands crossed at his broad chest said with cold voice, "you know one thing... my car is bullet proof... you took hasty decision without even thinking about yourself... may I ask you... Why?" he said looking keenly into her eyes as looks like searching answer of his own questions...

Since yesterday he was eager to know why she risked her own life to save him whereas he always behaves rudely with her, hurt her feelings...

Is she also having some feeling towards him?

Is she willing to spend her life with him?

She lowered her eyes avoiding his gaze... she has no idea why she has taken risk of her own life to save him... what forced her to take such a drastic step... at that moment she was just worried about him... nothing else... but is this love which Bela aunty was talking about... she never had such feeling for anyone in her life but with Sameer, she always thinks differently, react contrarily... but why?

Sameer keep looking at him waiting for her to answer but their moment spoiled with a knock on the door... Sameer huffed in anger and looked at the door...

Pandit came inside and knowing his anger to spoil their moment said hurriedly, "sorry... sorry... I didn't mean to disturb but her friend came to visit her... maine bohot roka par usne saare hospital mein hungama macha rakha hai... kisi ki baat nahin sun rahi..."

Naina said instantly, "Kamya... Kamya aayi hai... voh...voh meri sabse close friend hai... please use aane dijiye... mujhe milna hai usase..." she requested and plead to meet her soul sister cum friend... seeing her cute face, how could he deny to her but Pandit?

Sameer glared Pandit throwing daggers... he was desperately trying to know her true feelings about their relation but all spoiled by her friend... he rolled his wheelchair glaring him, "you have to pay for this..." Pandit quickly pushed him out of the room leaving Naina alone... before leaving he handed her phone back...

In few minutes Kamya rushed inside her ward panting heavily... she was hell scared for her knowing she was operated and admitted in hospital...

She sits next to her asking her wellbeing when Naina asked, "tujhe kaise pata chala mein yahaan hun..." she replied annoyingly, "puchh mat... kal shaam ko jab se tujhe pictures bheji thi tab se tujhe phone kar rahi hun... par tu ne koi reply hi nahin kiya... meri toh jaan hi nikal gayi thi... abhi thodi der pehle kisi Pandit ne tera phone pick kiya aur bataya... jab se aayi hun koi mujhe tujhse milne hi nahin de raha tha... itni tight security hai hospital mein jaise koi prime minister admit hua ho..."

She asked further, "Naina, tu ne kabhi bataya nahin tere husband itne influential hai.... does he have some political connections, or he is some kind of mafia... yeh attacks, itne security guard... I mean I am totally confused... saara hospital secure kiya hua hai jaise koi VVIP ho tu... you said he is very rude towards you, but it seems he really cares about you..."

Naina smiled slowly and replied, "you must be knowing him... he is Sameer... Sameer Maheshwari... CEO of Maheshwari group of companies... he belongs to a very royal and rich family..." she informed her as till now they never get chance to talk about him much... though she already told her his name but not with complete identity...

Kamya amazed and looked at her with wide eyes screamed, "kya boli tu... Sameer... The Sameer Maheshwari... Maheshwari group of companies ke CEO... I can't believe yaar... maine bohot suna hai uske baare mein par kabhi dekha nahin... I mean usko bohot kam log jaante hai... na hi logon ne usey dekha hai jyaada... social media par ek bhi photo nahin aaj tak uski... na hi koi news channel aaj tak usko cover kar paaya hai.... I heard he is a very introvert and unsocial kind of person... also very rude and arrogant, may be due to his disability..." she said casually what all she had heard in business world about him...

Naina feels bad listening all this for him and stopped her, "aisa nahin hai.... haan voh thode reserve rehte hai but he is no. 1 businessman in country... reserve aur introvert hona koi bura toh nahin na... media toh kisi ke baare mein kuchh bhi kehta hai par voh sach nahin hota..." she said supporting him as doesn't feel nice hearing bad about him... whatever the relation they had its their personal matter and no one has right to point out...

Kamya chuckled to tease her, "oh... ho.. toh kisi ko bura lag raha hai... I think you start liking him... isn't it so?... vaise tujhe ek raaz ki baat bataau... my dad was interested for me to get engaged with Sameer Maheshwari... par maine toh saaf saaf mana kar diya... after all sirf paisa hi sab kuchh nahin hai na... tujhe pata hai na ki mere saare boyfriends kitne hot aur good looking rahe hai... toh life partner toh sabse best hona chahiye na... jaise tu hamesha se sirf dil se sochti hai aur sachche pyaar ki baatein karti hai par mere liye life mein social status bohot matter karta hai..."

Kamya has never found any photo of Sameer on the Internet. He kept a very low profile, never granting interviews with the media and not allowing anyone to post his pictures online...

Naina looked at her amazingly asked, "par Kamya, shaadi ke liye sirf looks aur achchha dikhna hi toh important nahin hai na... insaan ka dil bhi toh achchha hona chhaiye..." she thinks that even Sameer is so handsome and good looking but they are not sharing a normal relation like others... he always behave so rudely with her but on contrary he always support her... save her...

Kamya laughed poking on her forehead, "meri chhod... mujhe toh mera prince charming mil hi jayega... aur voh duniya ka sabse handsome, good looking and rich aadmi hoga... dekhna kaise mere pairo mein duniya ki saari khushiyaan laakar rakh dega, aakhir mera charm hi aisa hai... mein toh jise chaahun ek chutki mein apne saamne jhuka sakti hoon... par tu mujhe apni bata, agar tumhari baat kuchh aage badi hai... aakhir ek hi ghar mein ek ki kamre mein rehte ho tum donon... Sameer ka toh nahin pata par tu itani sundar hai ki kaise koi control kar paata hoga..." she asked teasing her more...

Naina looked her shockingly and denied, "jee nahin... aisa kuchh nahin... tujhe toh sab pata hai na... only 6 months more, after that we will get separate... aur mein kisi jhuthe bharam mein nahin rehna chahti ab... I accepted my fate... hamare beech mein na aaj kuchh hai aur na kabhi hoga..." her eyes got damp saying last line... she had never experienced a love relation with anyone before...

Kamya hold her hand assuring her, "tu chinta mat kar... sab theek hi hoga... mein pata kar rahi hun uss hospital ki mystery... shayad humein uss insaan ke baare mein bhi pata chal jaaye... aur soch jisne itni secretly sab plan kiya ho voh kitna influential hoga na... agar sab theek raha toh teri kismat khul jayegi aur life settled..."

Naina denied on her thoughts, "nahin Kamya... bhale hi sach pata chal jaaye par ab meri zindagi mein kisi aur ke liye koi jagah nahin hai... I am happy with my life... no hopes, no expectations... so no pain..." she smiled faintly on her fate...

They heard a soft knock on the door and Kamya stood to open the door... she shocked seeing the person on door... Sameer... she keep staring him shockingly, when Pandit coughed slightly to gain her attention... keeping her eyes still on him without blinking, she moved a bit giving them space to enter...

Kamya got stunned seeing Sameer... she was expecting him to be an ordinary looking man on wheelchair must be an over aged person with fat belly... but totally opposite to this, though he was on wheelchair but he indeed a handsome man... he was tall, well built, good looking and charming to the extent that women throw themselves on his feet.... his eyes were dark and deep, like a bottomless ocean... he looked perfect immediately attracting her attention...

Kamya thought, "oh my god... he is damn good looking beyond my imagination... he is much more handsome than any of my boyfriends... he is sitting on wheelchair but he looks so pleasant and attractive... strange I never got chance to meet him till now and Naina married to him... luckily through her I got the chance to meet him before they got divorced... it will be fun now... lagta hai meri list mein ek aur naam judane wala hai jaldi hi..." she chuckled at her thought to get chance to meet and surely he will impressed by her charm... even she clearly refused her father earlier to get engaged with him without even meeting him but seeing him in personal, her mind and heart occupied with his thoughts...

Kamya coming back into senses came towards them and introduce herself forwarding her hand towards him, "hello... Mr Maheshwari... myself Kamya... Kamya Parekh, I hope aap mere dad ko toh jaante hi honge... Parekh Industries ke owner hai voh... even I heard a lot about you from my father but never got the chance to meet you... actually I came back from US few days back only..." she keep telling him about herself...

Sameer's eyes were still fixed on Naina totally ignoring Kamya... even Kamya was also distressed seeing his cold behavior towards her... till date no one has dare to ignore her charm... the ward seemed to be filled with an awkward atmosphere for all... feeling embarrassed she pulled back her hand smiling clumsily...

Sameer turned his attention to Bela who just entered after them, "auntie I have some urgent work... please take care of her... I will come later..." he said softly and moved back to go out without giving a glance to Kamya...

Bela smiled assuring him and he turned to go out with Pandit without looking back... he stopped at door for a moment and turned to see Naina looking at him only... their eyes met for a second and he turned his face to leave out... Bela quickly followed him out to discuss something with Sameer...

Kamya keep looking him from back and sat down besides Naina, "is he the same arrogant person... why he behaves so rudely... I just introduce myself... at least he should have basic manners, how to treat a beautiful girl... maana handsome hai par itna attitude... huh.."

Naina pressed her hand assuring, "don't think much... I told you he didn't talk much with outsiders... tujhse pehli baar mile hai toh... but I am happy you came here for me... anyways you know what kind of relation we are sharing, so it doesn't matter for me... I am sorry if it hurts you on his behalf..."

Kamya smiled seeing her when Bela came back and offered dinner to Naina, "I cooked by myself for you.... please have some... you will feel better..." Naina was in no mood of eating anything but Kamya took the bowl from Bela's hand and feed her complete...

After talking for a while, she left assuring to come again... Naina too slept after taking medicine... Bela sleeps on couch lying there...

Hope you all like it... Please comment and vote...

Next update on Wednesday... Stay safe.. Bye & Good Night
