Naina opened her heavy eyelids next day with a severe pain in her head... she sits back on her bed clutching her head in her hand, pressing tightly... she looked around and found room empty... getting a relieved sigh she checked on time and it was already 10 am.... she was surprised thinking how can she slept so long today and got late for office... she always woke up early and never gets late then why today? Even Sameer must have already left for office ... with a confused reaction, she stood and go to washroom to get freshen up...

Her head was spinning badly, and she was not getting the reason for it... she felt little relieved after splashing cold water on her face continuously... she stood there holding basin seeing her reflection in mirror... suddenly some pictures flashed across her mind.... she recalled she went to bar last night and made a drink for herself... after that she might have had few more and ...

Suddenly she screamed loudly keeping her hand on her mouth, when some more visuals play around in her mind... sitting in Sameer's lap... kissing him.... hugging him... pinching his cheeks... although it was in pieces, but she almost guessed what all had happened ... her whole body trembled thinking how she will face him now for whatever she has done with him...

She holds head in her hand with pity look, "hey Kanhaji, yeh kya karwa diya aapne... pehle kam taane padte the, aaj toh pakka balcony se phenk denge mujhe... aur uppar se mein unki god mein, unhein kiss kaarna... agar meri itni yaad aar rahi thi aur apne paas bulana tha toh thoda aasaan rasta nahin soch sakte the... aaj toh Mr Gabbar Maheshwari ke haath yeh basanti qurbaan huyi pakka... kaash mujhe bhi koi veeru bachane aa jaata..."

She never drank in her entire life but feeling so much hurt and depressed, she really drank too much last night and lost all her senses... she took a relieved sigh thinking Sameer must have already left for office... at least she will be saved to face him now... she came out from washroom holding her head massaging softly as pain was still unbearable and top of that her own doings making her thoughts more miserable...

To her bad luck, she was in so much pain that unable to keep her eyes opened properly and bumped into Sameer who was sitting there checking something on mobile... mobile dropped from his hand, slipping out at floor and she was half lying in his arms... in fear of falling she clutched his shoulder tightly by her hands... subconsciously, his hand wrapped her slim waist tightly to save her...

She slowly opened her eyes... their gaze met each other's, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward... there was dead silence in the room that they can hear the sound of their thumping heartbeats... all their last night moments flashed across their minds... the one was lost in her beautiful face whereas the later was extremely embarrassed and scared to face the upcoming storm towards her...

Realizing her position, she stood with a jerk and trembled again... with her trembling feet, she tripped again and fall straight into his lap like last day circling her hand around his neck... the most intimate position they were... their faces were just an inch apart... he can feel her cool fresh breath on his face...

Seeing her staring him without blinking her eyes, Sameer's lips curled into a naughty smile asking, "ab kya morning kiss bhi chahiye... man nahin bhara abhi..."

Naina shut her eyes instantly getting extremely shy and embarrassed on his teasing... she was still afraid to get a good scolding from him and didn't get the hint of his teasing tone...

Sameer staring the most beautiful face so closely leaned slightly whispering, "haan ya naa... offer is valid for few minutes only... soch lo..."

Naina opened her eyes instantly looking him shockingly... her eyes widened seeing her naughty smile so closely and get the meaning of his teasing... she got relaxed thinking, "lagta hai inhone bhi pee li thi raat ko... tabhi aise muskura rahe hai..."

Hearing the commotions from outside, she withdrew her hand and stood taking support from his hand and steps back maintaining a distance looking down...

She keeps standing there like an innocent baby who was waiting for her punishment after doing mischief...

Sameer suppressing his smile turned his expression... he narrowed his eyes and looked at her... to tease her more he scolds showing fake anger, "abhi tak kal ki utari nahin tumhari... kaho toh aur mangwa dun... but sorry I don't know your choices so tell me which brand you want..."

Naina snapped of his question and almost on urge of crying... she barely able to utter, "Sorry"

She suddenly recalled how he left her in unconscious state to meet her love life in office... might be her drunken condition spoiled his evening and ruined his precious moments with his lover...

She stood rooted there looking down... Sameer rolled his wheelchair towards his bed... opening the side drawer he pulled out a strip of medicine... he handed her saying, "take this one tablet... it's not good for you to drink so much... it will anti-dote your stomach..."

She took the tablet strip with shaking hands... he stares her pale face and about to say something but stopped as doesn't want to humiliate her at all... she might feel offended knowing what she had done last night with him... no wonder she was looking adorable, but drinking is not good for her in this state...

Sameer turned to leave when Naina said in low voice, "sorry for whatever all I had done last night... I should have thought before about you and your family reputation... promise, I will not repeat it... please forgive me for all my stupid acts... I really didn't mean that..." her voice chocked at last in guilt...

Sameer stopped in his way... his heart pricked with her words... is she ashamed of kissing him... hugging him... is she really not interested him at all... also she has not replied on his question last night.... getting this thought, a wave of disappointment rose in his heart...

He said without looking at her, "you don't need to come office today... better take complete rest and stay at home... I will not accept any more negligence concerning your health... understood..." he replied in his usual warning tone...

After a pause, not getting any reply from her, he said further, "and yes, I will not tolerate any more daring acts from you... so no more adventures okay..." he left without giving a glance to her...

Though he was smiling earlier but again turned to his cold behavior... she replied slowly, "okay"

What else she can expect after doing such a disgraceful act which she herself hates it... she is a girl of morale and never behaved like this in her entire life...

Sameer left for office leaving her alone in room... she sits there keeping her head on his bed... tears keep flowing from her eyes thinking, "meri wajah se Sameerji ko kitna sharminda hona pada... unhein mera unke itane kareeb jaana, unko kiss karna kitna bura laga hoga... mein kaise itani badi galti kar sakti hun jab ki mujhe pata hai ki voh kitni nafarat karte hai mujhse... aaj maine ek aur wajah de di mere character par ungli uthaane ki..."

Wiping her tears, she smiled sarcastically, "vaise kya farq padta hai agar ek aur iljaam lag bhi jayega.... yahaan kisi ko koi farq nahin padta ki mein kya chahti hun, mere dil mein kya hai... sabki baat manana, sabko khush rakhne ki koshish mein shayad mein khud ko kahin kho chuki hun... par aakhiri mein har baar haar meri hi hoti hai... kal pehle baar ehsaas hua ki jinko maine bhagwan ki tarah pooja, har baat maani, unhein meri khushiyon ki koi parwaah nahin... kaash Maa ne ek baar mere dil ki bhi suni hoti... mujhe pyaar se gale lagakar mere dil ka haal puchha hota... par shayad mera yeh sapna kabhi poora nahin hoga... aaj tak unki har baat maan kar mein pehle hi bohot ilzaam sah chuki hoon ab aur nahin... shayad meri kismat mein akele rehna hi likha hai..."

She wiped her tears and went to take a cold shower as her head was still hurting badly... the moment she removed her kurti, she realized some sticky cream on her arm... she looked surprisingly and found her wound was not hurting much more... she shrugged all her thoughts thinking she herself might have put ointment in drunkard state... after a long cold shower she came out all fresh...

The moment she stepped out servant knocked on the door coming inside... they serve all healthy and light food for her as told by Sameer before leaving... she took the medicine and slept for some hours more after having light breakfast feeling very tired...

Sameer reached office but his thoughts were disturbed by her words... Pandit seeing him so restless came to him, "don't think much... she will be fine soon... I think kal galti se usne pehli baar drink ki thi toh thoda over ho gaya... vaise bhi maine room permanent lock karwa diya hai..." he said holding his laughter to lift his mood...

Sameer still lost in his thoughts asked suddenly, "is she still love her ex-husband..."

Pandit shocked to listen this and about to ask when suddenly his phone rings and they left for meeting...

Throughout the meeting Sameer was all lost in his thoughts... in morning after breakfast when he came back in room to check on her, she was not on her bed... he was waiting for her when heard continuous beeps on her mobile... thinking it might be some urgent message he opened the mobile and shocked to see so many messages from an unknown number...

It was quite easy for him to figure out who was the sender...

"why didn't you respond on my messages?"

"Just give me one more chance... how could you forget me"

"I want to meet you... please once..."

"for the sake of our old good times, please let me explain you once..."

"I know you still had feelings for me..."

Sameer was reading the messages when Naina came out from bathroom and bumped onto him... seeing her so close to him, all fresh like a blossom flower, he lost all his senses and keep staring her... to get straight she again fall on him racing his heartbeat... composing himself he tried to tease her with his usual tone, but her reply make him extremely upset, and he left giving her order to stay in room...

After consulting with Doctor last night, he was concerned for her health as in pregnancy liquor can affect both baby and mother... Doctor prescribed at least a day rest for her after having fever and drunk crazily... he brings medicine for her which can work as an anti-dote and ordered servants to take good care of her and don't let her come down for anything... she needs complete rest... but feels hurt reading message from Sharad on her mobile...

At home, Chinni joined Naina after she woke up in afternoon... they spent fun time with each other... in evening Naina was engrossed in her thoughts when she randomly saw so many messages from unknown number that too already read in her mobile... she surprised initially, but accept thinking that in drunk state, she herself must have read it... she again deletes all chat and block the number getting irritated...

In evening, Naina was busy in surfing channels to pass her time when servant came to inform Kamya's arrival... she recalled how she messaged her that she is not well and at home, but not expected her to come and see her personally... that too in evening when Sameer and Karthik were supposed to be back from work...

She rushed down seeing her sitting in hall... they greet each other and Naina proposed her to go out and sit in garden... but opposite to her Kamya insist to go to her room and chat there... reluctantly Naina bring her upstairs in her room but took her out in balcony... she knew Sameer can come back at any time and again get a chance to taunt her...

Kamya asked, "kya hua tujhe... tu office kyun nahin gayi aaj..."

Naina doesn't want to share, so just make an excuse, "bas who sar dard tha subah toh Chhote kunwar ne mujhe chhutti de di... bole aaj saara din ghar par aaraam karun..." she usually talked with Chinni calling him Chhote Kunwar and used the same with Kamya too subconsciously...

Kamya laughed, "tu apne pati ko ghar ke naukaron ki tarah Chhote Kunwar kyun kehti hai... kitna achchha toh naam hai... Sameer... tu kyun nahin bolti... jaise mein pehle din se bolne lagi thi... dekha dost hone ka faayda..."

Naina realized that she has still not in habit to call him by his name... in office she usually called him by Mr Maheshwari or Sir and at home she usually called him by Chhote Kunwar with others...

Till now she hardly had any normal or friendly conversation with Sameer ever, which makes them comfortable in calling each other by their names... even she had not heard him also calling her name ever... he also used to call her Ms Aggarwal in office...

Kamya jerked her, "oye... kahaan kho gayi.. chal chhod vaise bhi thode dinon ki baat hai, uske baad in sab formalities ki jarurat hi nahin padegi tujhe... tumhein kaun sa ek dusre se milne ka mauka milega divorce ke baad... after all tum donon ki duniya kitni alag hai na ek dusre se..." she said casually making her realize the difference in their status and society...

Naina's eyes brimmed with tears recalling that few months has left only for her to be here... she had already accepted the fact, but it hurts...

They chatted for some time when realizing its time for Sameer to be back at home she makes an excuse, "voh... Kamya tujhe late ho raha hoga na... chal mein tujhe baahar tak chhod aati hun... kal office ke baad mil lenge agar milna hoga toh..." she didn't give her chance to refuse and stay back more...

Kamya finds it strange as she had planned to have dinner with her but Naina literally dragged her out... but the moment they reached at hall, Vishakha called them from back...

Vishakha, "arey Naina, tumne bataya nahin tumhari friend aayi huyi hai... mujhse milaya kyun nahin abhi tak... I told you na that I am really looking to meet her..." she said giving a hard glare to Naina...

Kamya herself came forward and hug Vishakha, "it's really nice meeting you, auntie... maine bohot suna hai apni Mummy se aapke baare mein... she really praised your fashion style and soft nature... finally I got the chance to meet you..."

Vishakha hold her hand and bring her back in hall... they both settled on sofa close to each other and engrossed in chatting lovingly...

Naina in a daze, stood rooted at the doorstep itself... suddenly realizing someone at her back, she turned and saw Sameer was there with Pandit... she lowered her eyes in guilt for calling Kamya again at home...

Seeing Kamya chatting with Vishakha, Sameer passed a sarcastic smile to her, "see how fast your friend gelled up with your so-called Rani Sahiba... and you are standing here... like an idiot outsider..."

Vishakha turned to see Sameer there... with a sugarcoated voice, she said, "chalo achchha hai Sameer bhi aa gaya... Karthik is also coming soon... lets have dinner together... after all Kamya hamari guest hai... usey aise kaise jaane de bina dinner ke..."

Kamya smiled widely greeting to Sameer, "thanks auntie for the offer... mein toh vaise bhi Sameer aur Karthik se milkar hi jaana chahti thi... look now, he is at home..." she was more cheerful than earlier...

Pandit frowned seeing Kamya gets friendly with all and Naina standing there like an outcast... he excused himself and left out in context of attending a call... he always gets negative vibes and avoids around with Kamya...

Kamya came to Sameer with a wide grin on her face and greet, "hi Sameer, I hope you are not disappointed seeing me here again..."

Sameer replied in a soft tone to Kamya but glaring at Naina, "no not at all, you are always welcome... after all you are close friend of my wife... right... so no need for these formalities... you can come any time to meet her..."

Naina looked at him surprisingly talking sweetly with Kamya... her trance broke hearing Vishakha calling them all for dinner, "come... dinner is served..."

Before Naina came ahead to help him, Kamya went behind and pushed Sameer's wheelchair towards table... in hurry she put slightly more pressure which makes him jerked suddenly... though Sameer was sitting firmly but with a jerk, his hands landed instantly on armrest for support but at the same time, he felt a soft hand with tight grip on his shoulder to save him...

He looked at his side seeing Naina holding his shoulder with worried look... he was slightly stunned that she really cares about others, but she couldn't even protect herself... but he feels warmed with her simple action to be so caring about him... his mind and heart clouded again with a thought, "is she really have some feelings for me?"

Their eyes met for a second when Kamya break the silence, "I am sorry... I... I didn't mean it..." she said keeping her hand on Sameer's hand making Naina feel bit uncomfortable... Sameer instantly removed his hand from Kamya's hand giving a disgusting expression, with her touch...

Kamya stunned with his reaction but plastered a fake smile on her face apologize, "Sorry Sameer... I should be more careful..." saying this she pushed his wheelchair and move to dining table... Naina remain stood there in daze...

Karthik entered seeing Naina standing still at door... he wished her, "hi Naina... lets go for dinner... Mom just called me to be at home... we have some guest and planned for a family dinner tonight... is it so?" he asked her as not aware of the guest...

Naina nodded and followed him silently... Kamya was about to sit next to Sameer when Vishakha said, "Kamya, come this side and sit with me..." she turned to Naina, "go and sit with Sameer..."

Naina sits next to him knowing his eyes glued on her only... Naina starts serving to all as she has no appetite to eat but can't refuse at this moment...

Kamya too belongs to a rich business family and they have lots of common interests to talk about... she easily gelled up with Vishakha where in till date Naina still calling her Rani Sahiba and hardly had any normal discussion as a family member with her... they either met at breakfast table or rarely when Vishakha summoned her to meet for some work... similar as till now even after staying in same room, she is not comfortable calling Sameer by his name...

Kamya took the bowl from Naina's hand to serve, "let me help you also..." she served to Sameer, Karthik and Vishakha, handing it back to Naina... they all start eating discussing on business topics...

Karthik also initiate the discussion and it looks like a complete family dinner... except Naina, who was feeling like out of the place... an outsider...

Seeing her sitting quiet, just playing with her food in plate, all lost, Sameer filled spoon from his plate and turned to her side... he feed her with lots of mixed emotions in his eyes making her confused...

Naina's lips quivered, she slightly opened her mouth and eat it... an unknown kind of cheerfulness filled her around giving a warmth feeling of someone so close to her... at last, she doesn't seem like an outsider, anymore...

Sameer filled another spoon to feed her by his hand... she felt shy in front of all and shook her head slowly...

Sameer leaned slightly to her and whispers, "lagta hai aajkal liquid diet par ho tum... khaana nahin toh kal wala drink le aaun... ya koi aur brand chahiye..." she lifts her eyes in amaze and gets embarrassed but luckily there is no sarcasm in his tone this time... unusual to him he was more into teasing her... they both smiled, lost seeing each other...

Kamya looked at them lost in their own world, oblivious of their surrounding...

She called them disturbing there moment, "guys... what's going on... ab humein bhi bata do... kab se akele gappe maar rahe ho donon... don't forget we all are also sitting here...."

Karthik was keenly watching the couple sharing moments and support them, "ab miyaan biwi ki baaton mein hamara kya kaam... let them enjoy their dinner... I am happy seeing them together... like a perfect couple... ab nayi shaadi huyi hai toh thoda waqt toh akele saath bitana banta hai na..." his voice tends sincerity...

Kamya said making faces, "but that's not fair na... we all are having dinner together... and anyways, Naina mujhse kuchh nahin chhupati.. right Naina..." she said with a forced smile on her face...

Sameer replied in a sharp tone, "but don't you think this is something personal between husband wife only... you should not even ask... it's bad manners, right Naina..." he too asked looking at Naina in the same tone of hers to tease her...

Naina got confused with all this... she didn't able to understand what's going on in all their minds...

Sameer talking to her sweetly.... Strange

Karthik laughing and supporting them...

Vishakha too much polite and over-whelmed...

Kamya behaving differently... more strangely...

Keeping aside all thoughts she quietly concentrates on her food...

Vishakha tried all best possible ways to let Kamya mingled up with Karthik...

Completing dinner, Naina expects Kamya to leave immediately but she seems least bothered to go back home... she even proposed to have a round of coffee with everyone which all accepted... servants serve coffee pot when Kamya offered to make for all... except Naina, who preferred to have tea and preparing it all for herself....

As far as Naina knows, Kamya doesn't have any interest in household chores which makes her flustered more... Kamya serves to all and sits next to Vishakha... Naina looked at her quietly behaving so strangely today... but why?

All takes the sip praising her when Kamya looked at Sameer who didn't even touch his cup and busy in his mobile... she asked, "Sameer, didn't you like coffee? can I make another one for you...?"

Sameer took the cup from Naina's hand and take a sip... he praised, "not bad... I think I should also drink tea today... vaise bhi kisi ne kaha hai jyaada coffee sehat ke liye theek nahin... so let's share tea today..." he took few more sips and give it back to Naina... taking sips one by one from same cup they finish their tea...

Karthik winked to him, "not bad Chhote... I think today you are in full romantic mood..." he laughed turning to Vishakha and Kamya, "I think you should have not kept this family dinner today to spoil love birds plan..."

Kamya got up instantly, "well... I think I should leave now... it's too late for me..." somehow she felt embarrassed and uncomfortable seeing them together like this...

Naina stood to drop her till outside when Sameer grabbed her hand, "Naina it's too late and I am very tired.... I want to go back to room... will you please come with me..."

He turned to Karthik, "I think you can drop Ms Parekh... it's not safe for her to go alone at this hour of time..." he spoke leaving no chance for anyone to speak further...

Naina getting confused stands still there when Sameer softly hold her hand requesting again, "please, let's go na..." she nodded and bid a quick bye to Kamya... she pushed his wheelchair and they left towards the elevator... all three remain speechless seeing Sameer's affection towards her....

Next update on Saturday...
