Pandit came back home few minutes back only, searching them everywhere... finally hearing their voices from kitchen, he entered seeing them both lost in each other... he coughed to get their attention but not getting any response from either of them he blurted out teasing them getting a deadly glare from Sameer...

Naina to avoid embarrassment, with a pleading look request Sameer to go out with Pandit... Sameer reluctantly left out with Pandit leaving Naina completing her work in kitchen...

Sameer getting irritated to spoil his moment asked, "where were you... I thought you are tired and sleeping in your room... where have you gone without even informing me... aur tera mobile kyun off tha... don't tell me ki car mein charger nahin tha..." he teased him back in same tone...

Pandit laughed, "look who's talking... jaise tu kal raat mujhe bataye bina gaayab hua tha, I also follow the same... aur mujhe aaj hi pata chala ki date par mobile switch-off rakha jaata hai" he said casually teasing more to irritated him...

Sameer hit on his head, "shut up... aur yeh kya Date Date laga rakha hai subah se... it was just I want to spend some time with her in alone... Naina ke saamne mat bol dena varna ghabra jaayegi..." he said looking at her direction to avoid any awkwardness for her...

Pandit grinned, "bhai... jis tarah tum donon poori raat gaayab the agar shadi shuada nahin hote toh pata hai duniya kitne iljaam lagati tumhare masoom se pyaar par... aur pyaar ki paathshaala mein akele time spent karne ko Date par jaana hi kehte hai... samjha kuchh..." he said dramatically making him laugh on his antics...

Naina came out holding tray in her hand... while serving dishes to them she asked giving a soft smile to them, "kaun gaya tha Date par..."

Sameer glared Pandit to talk rubbish... Pandit scratch his head saying, "voh Naina, mein aur Preeti aaj Date par gaye the... socha aaj off liya hi hai toh thoda utilize bhi kar lun... itna achchha mauka kahaan milta hai roj roj... and all thanks to you for giving this brilliant idea..." surely it was Naina's wish for all of them to take rest for one day, given him chance to take advantage...

Naina exclaimed happily, "wow... not bad... itani jaldi next Date bhi plan kar li... vaise aaj sabne chhutti ka sahi use kiya hai..."

Pandit said naughtily, "haan, voh toh dikh hi raha hai... time ka best utilization..." he winked to Sameer...

Sameer asked, "hmm... mere staff ko office se bunk karwa kar date par jaaya ja raha hai... lagta hai kuchh karna padega varna chal li meri company... vaise kahaan gaya tha tu..."

Pandit giving an annoyed look replied, "jaana kahaan tha... lunch par gaye the, uske favorite restaurant aur vahaan bhi gol gappe ke paani mein namak kam tha iss baat par kya daant lagayi usne manager ki... badi mushkil se gussa shaant hua tha meri lady don ka... agli baar koi aur restaurant dekhna padega...." he said innocently in a deep thought making other two laughed heartily thinking how foody there friends are...

Naina served food for all and sits next to him... seeing Sameer not started eating she raised her brows asking, "aap khaana kyun nahin kha rahe... aapko toh bhukh lagi thi na..."

Sameer showed his finger with band-aid with an innocent face, "voh... chot lagi hai na... toh dard hoga..."

Naina hit her palm on forehead, "sorry... maine dhyaan hi nahin diya...if you don't mind mein khila dun..." she asked innocently...

Sameer replied with a sullen face, "haan, ab aur koi option hi nahin... bhukh bhi lagi hai na..."

Naina starts feeding him with her own hands... they all enjoyed food chatting and teasing Pandit for a foody date...

Naina went to take sweet dish from kitchen when Pandit asked making a serious face, "bhai tu ne bataya nahin tu left handy ban gaya hai... matlab bachpan se toh right hand se khaana khaata tha par aaj chot lagi toh left hand.... not bad... mein bhi try karunga yeh idea..."

Sameer hit on his arm, "chup kar na... itni mushkil se usey busy rakh raha hun aur tu apna munh mat phaad... abhi kuchh kaha toh upset na ho jaaye phir se... mein nahin chahta ki uska dimaag kisi bhi baat se pareshaan ho..."

Pandit laughed rubbing his arm, "abey bahane mat kar... mujhe sab pata hai yeh kya chal raha hai... kal raat se kuchh jyaada hi romantic ideas nahin aa rahe tere dimaag mein... pehle toh janaab ko pyaar ki ABCD bhi nahin aati thi aur ab dekho, lagta hai poori PHD kar daali ek hi raat mein..."

Sameer said to keep him quiet, "tujhe kuchh nahin pata ki tere pichhe se kya hua hai... abhi jaruri hai sirf Naina ko busy rakhna varna phir se pareshaan ho jaayegi... I will tell you later..."

Pandit understood there must be something serious happened so agreed with him... Naina came back with his favorite kheer and they all relish the delicacy...

Naina went back in kitchen to wind up... coming back into room Sameer told Pandit about Kamya and how Naina was hurt after that...

Sameer said with a gloomy look, "pata nahin donon mein kya baat huyi par bohot jyaada disturb thi... dil toot gaya uska toh dard toh hona hi tha... kab se soch raha tha ki usko Kamya ka sach bataau par himmat nahin ho rahi thi... par aaj achanak kya hua kuchh samajh nahin aa raha aur ab usase puchh kar usey aur disturb nahin kar sakta..."

Pandit gritted his teeth in anger said, "man toh kar raha hai uss chudail ko ghar se kya iss shahar se baahar nikaal dun jiski wajah se Naina ka itna dil dukkha... par ek baat achchhi huyi ki ab voh us par vishwas nahin karegi kabhi bhi... shayad jo hota hai achchhe ke liye hi hota hai... tu chinta mat kar mein Preeti se kah dunga voh Naina ka dhyaan rakhegi... voh toh pehle hi Kamya ke naam se bhi chidati hai..."

Sameer said taking a deep sigh, "pata nahin Pandit jo hua voh theek tha ya nahin... Kamya itni aasani se chup baithane walon mein se nahin aur Naina uski chaalbaazi nahin samajh payegi... ek ajeeb sa darr lag raha hai jaise kuchh bura hone wala ho... Naina ki chinta ho rahi hai... aaj maana usne himmat dikhayi aur khud ko sambhal liya par yaad hai na doctor ne kya kaha tha... yun tension lena uske liye sahi nahin... par chaah kar bhi mein usey nahin bacha paata..."

Pandit keeping his hand on his shoulder assure him, "hum sab hai na saath toh sambhal lenge... aakhir maine behen maana hai aur tere rishtey se voh meri Bhabhi bhi hai aur Preeti ke rishtey se saali... toh itna toh banta hai uske liye... aur phir tu uske saath hai toh mujhe chinta nahin..."

Sameer smiled faintly, "I don't know mein sab handle kar bhi paaunga ki nahin... sach kahun jis tarah voh mujh par vishwas karne lagi hai, uski aankhon mein jo pyaar dikhta hai, usase ek darr sa lagane laga hai... kahin uska vishwas na toot jaaye... ek ajeeb si bechaini ho rahi hai jab se voh Kamya se baat karke aayi hai... isiliye usey akela nahin chhod raha tha... par uske dimaag mein kya chal raha hai, voh kya soch rahi hai, mujhe kuchh samajh nahin aata... shayad jitna uppar se shaant dikh rahi hai andar se utna hi toofan chhupa rakha hai usane apne andar... aur puchh bhi nahin sakte..."

Pandit assure him, "Sameer, mein maanta hun tu abhi bhi darr raha hai par yakeen maan jis tarah tu Naina ko sambhalta hai, uski care karta hai, usey pyaar karta hai, you two are just perfect for each other... aur tujhse jyaada uska dhyaan koi aur nahin rakh sakta... I am sure tu kabhi koi kami nahin hone dega Naina ko... kam se kam pyaar ki toh bilkul nahin... mujhe vishwas hai ki tu uska bharosa kabhi nahin todega..."

They both kept quiet seeing Naina entering room... three of them spend good quality time together... chatting, having fun... Sameer too relived seeing her laughing and enjoying fullest on Pandit's lame jokes...

Seeing time to sleep, Pandit left leaving them alone... Naina came out from washroom changing into night dress seeing Sameer busy in his phone...

Naina came hesitantly near his bed and stood looking down... she said slowly getting his attention, "thanks..."

Sameer raised his brows in confusion when she said looking at him, "aaj poora din jis tarah ek dost ki tarah aapne mera dhyaan rakha aur mujhe sambhala uske liye... ek dost ke dhokhe se mujhe tootane nahin diya... mujhe nahin pata tha ki kaise khud ko sambhalu, kya karun, kiske paas jaaun, par aap ne mujhe akela nahin chhoda... mere bina kahe meri itni madad ki... sach kahun jab Kamya ke room se aayi thi toh bohot akela feel kar rahi thi... samajh nahin aa rhaa tha ki kya karun, kisase baat karun, kaun samjhega meri pareshaani, par aapne bina kuchh puchhe, bina kuchh jaane mera saath diya, ek sachche dost ki tarah... thank you so much..." she said with a honest smile on her face...

Sameer surprised hearing her as whole day he tried all possible ways to keep her engaged not to think much about anything which can stressed her... but she again without saying understood his emotions, his gesture for her...

Sameer's lips curled up slightly, stretched his hand towards her, "come here"

Naina walked near him when he raised his hand to hold her into his arms and whispered, "dost maanti ho phir bhi thanks kah rahi ho... isn't it against friendship rules?" he said with a mischievous glint in his eyes...

Naina couldn't restrain herself from smiling and staring at Sameer... they were so close to the extent that their vision went blurry... Sameer leaned closer to her little by little ... the tips of his nose was so close to hers... he lifts slightly and kissed on her forehead, "promise karo ab iss baare mein jyaada nahin sochogi... I know it hurts but we don't have control on everything in our life... so please let it go... and trust me I am always there for you and will never leave you alone... ek aur baat... kabhi bhi kisi bhi baat se pareshaan hogi toh mujhse baat karogi... kabhi apne aap ko akela mat samajhna... promise"

Naina instantly throw herself in his arms hugging, "promise... aapse kuchh nahin chhupaungi..." he too hugged her tightly... they remained silent in each other arms getting warmth... parted away Sameer said smiling, "I think you should sleep now... you must be tired..."

Seeing her so disturbed he wants her to sleep with him only but before he said anything his phone rings... seeing an urgent official call, he picked up the phone ... Naina seeing him busy on call went to her bed and laid down keeping her back towards him before even he finished off his call...

He too laid down seeing her sleeping but inside was worried thinking how to keep her mind distracted from Kamya's betrayal which is too much hurting for her... he didn't avert his eyes from her feeling something extremely off... after an hour passed, he realized how her body is shivering and her slow sobs in silence, assure her to be in panic attack...

Sameer quickly sits back, pulling his wheelchair close to his bed... shifting himself on his wheelchair he quickly wheeled towards her... making her turned to his heart pinched hard seeing her face covered with sweet beads and tears... wiping her face and cheeks, he called her name to make her awake from her nightmare... holding her tightly in his arms he keeps mumbling softly into her ears making her fasten heartbeats calm...

Some moments passed, she gets relaxed and slept back calmly finding solace in his arms... he placed her head back on pillow but find her tightly clutching his hand like her whole world depends on him... seeing her sleeping calmly, he remains seated close to her as have no heart to leave her alone again... 

तुम्हारा आगोश देता है सुकून-ए-इश्क़ मुझको,
ज़िन्दगी भर अपनी बाहों में यूँही क़ैद रखना मुझे

He stays awake long time staring her beautiful face, so close to him but getting tired he didn't realize when his eyes turned heavy, and he dozed off...

When the morning sunlight shone through the curtains, the sleeping girl swiftly blinked her eyelashes and slowly woke up... at first, she lazily turned around and slowly closed her eyes again... but in next second a soft scream came out from her mouth feeling a warm embrace enveloping her... the moment she moved again heard a masculine husky voice, "please... so jaao na..."

Naina was stunned for a second when turned her face and saw Sameer's face so close to hers... she was resting her head on one of his hand, using it as a pillow and his second hand was wrapped around her waist... his voice was deep and charming with a hint of laziness... his eyes were still shut seems he was still asleep...

Naina was confused... she must be dreaming now... but how could Sameer be there in her dream? Last night he was on his bed than how can he be here?

Blinking her eyes hard to come out of her dream, she raised her fingers slowly touching his face... feeling soft feathery touch on his face, his eyelashes trembled as he opened his eyes... their eyes met each other and there was a confused look in their eyes...

Sameer still in deep sleep again close his eyes and pulled her into his arms, "so jaao na Naina..." hearing him she blinked hard and confirmed it's not her dream... Sameer is there sleeping in a half sitting position next to her bed keeping her in his embrace... even she is using his arm as her pillow...

She slowly caressed his hair and removed the soft locks lying on his forehead... she eagerly wished to caress his cheeks with her shivering fingers but stopped suddenly... it will be embarrassing for her if he awakes... how will she face him then...

Naina tried slowly to lift his hand from his waist to move out avoiding any awkwardness but her slight move make him awake... Sameer lifted his head slightly and saw her beautiful face so close to her... they lost in intense eye-lock remaining stand still... doesn't matter how much time passed...

Coming back in senses first, Naina almost jumped out from her bed and rushed to washroom leaving Sameer stunned on her reaction... he hit slightly on his forehead, "shit... how could I sleep like this holding her so tightly... pata nahin kaise react karegi... poori raat voh meri baahon mein thi... kahin bura na laga ho usey... mujhe dhyaan rakhna chahiye tha..." mentally cursing himself he left out from room to his study room to not embarrass them both any more...

Naina stands in front of mirror holding her uneven breath feeling shy... her cheeks turned crimson red thinking how close they were... like any other day, today she felt a pleasure in her heart... though she recalled how restless she was last night and slept thinking about betrayal of Kamya, which might have gotten her into nightmares... she feels contented thinking he always there to support her whenever she needed most... he never leaves her alone in any circumstances...

Naina quickly after getting freshen up came out and found him missing from the room.... she keeps her hand on her waist muttered getting annoyed, "phir gaayab... Mr Maheshwari hai ya Mr India..."

Sameer coming back to his study seems extremely tensed thinking how she will react but soon her smiling shy face came across his mind, "par naraaj toh nahin lagi... kal raat bhi mere paas jaate hi uska darr, akelapan sab gaayab ho gaya tha... kitne pyaar se uska haath mere haathon mein tha aur usaki voh muskurahat... uska yun sharmaana... man kar raha tha ki kaash waqt vahin ruk jaata aur mei usey yun hi dekhta rehta..."

He looked at her picture in his phone smiling, "tum pehla aur aakhiri pyaar ho mera... jisne mujhe pehli baar phir se jeene ki ummid di thi aur aaj tumhari wajah se mein phir se muskurane laga hun... khush rehne ka man hota hai... tumhare saath zindagi bitaane ka ehsaas mujhe ek nayi ummid deta hai... man karta hai poori duniya se chhupa kar rakh lun tumhein... ab toh tumhari aankhon mein bhi vahi pyaar, vahi ehsaas dikhta hai... jitni aasani se hum ek dusre se apne dard baantate hai pata nahin apne dil ka pyaar kab zaahir karenge... ab toh hamare beech Kamya naam ki jhuthi diwaar bhi nahin... tum trust karti ho mujh par jo pyaar ki pehle sidi hai...

Manta hoon ki tumhari tarah aankhen padna nahin aata mujhe par jab tumhari aankhon mein apne liye pyaar mehsoos hota hai toh lagta hai ki zindagi ki har kami poori ho gayi ho... tumhein kabhi apne se dur nahin jaane de sakta... shayad aaj pehli baar mein itna selfish ho raha hun... majboor hun ki tumhari zindagi mein shayad har kami ko poora na kar paaun par itna wada hai ki kabhi tumhari aankhon mein aansun nahin aane doonga..." he kissed softly on his screen at her smiling face...

Sameer came out from trance hearing a soft knock on the door... thinking it must be Pandit he frowned slightly as doesn't want to come out of his dreamland... before he said anything a soft fragrance calm his nerves... he turned to see her coming towards him...

Sameer was not expecting her to be here at this time... controlling his raging emotions to pull her in his arms and love her immensely, he looked at her when she asked hesitantly, "voh mandir... pooja... aap chalenge..." taking a deep sigh and seems it will be good for both of them to divert their mind he simply nodded and they both left for mandir...

Their morning sweet moment surged in their mind, leaving a soft smile on their faces... with a hue of shy on her cheeks she keeps avoiding looking towards him making him sure about her feelings more...

Seeing her avoiding her gaze, he purposely keeps disturbing her while doing pooja, "Naina, mujhe bhi sikhaogi pooja ki thaali kaise decorate karte hai... I mean I can also help you out... tum sab kuchh roj akele karti ho..." he said making the most innocent face ever...

She looked at him in confusion as not expecting him to be so keen to learn this... he said, "aur haan, voh mujhe aarti bhi learn karni hai... aur haan kuchh festivals hote hai na special bhagwan ke, unke baare mein bhi... bachpan mein Maa ne sikhaye toh the par itane saalon ke baad ab kuchh yaad nahin... bas Diwali aur Holi ka pata hai..."

She laughed hearing him, "aapko yeh sab sochne ki koi jarurat nahin... inn sab ke liye mein hoon na... mein sab manage kar lungi aur jab aapke voh special festivals aayenge toh bata bhi dungi..."

Sameer smiled instantly asked, "promise... hamesha mere paas rahogi na... saath dogi na mera..."

Without giving much heed to his question she smiled replying, "hmm... hamesha ke liye..." with contented heart they both complete the ritual together and prayed for each other's happiness...

Coming back, Naina moved towards kitchen when Sameer called her, "Naina, can u make same dish which we had yesterday from your Kaka... I really liked it... aur haan voh ginger tea bhi saath mein... aaj coffee ka man nahin..."

She agreed instantly, "I will try.... shayad kaka ke haathon jaisa taste na ho but I am sure you will like it..." before Sameer said further, he saw her changing expression... he turned to see Kamya was coming from his back... he was equally surprised thinking she might have already left after confronting by Naina, but seems she is too much shameless, they imagine...

Sameer squeezed her hand diverting her focus, "Naina, please don't let yourself affect... tum ne promise kiya tha naa... you have to stay strong and move on..."

Naina looked at him nodded her head saying, "I am fine... don't worry... mujhe khud ko sambhalna aa gaya hai... aur aap hai na mere saath... mujhe kabhi kamjor nahin padne denge..."

Sameer not in a mood to leave her alone said, "sorry I forget, today we have an urgent meeting, so get ready fast... will have breakfast in office only..." he said making a fake excuse to divert her mind...

Naina smiled seeing him, "aap toh jhuth bhi nahin bol paate theek se... don't worry... you get ready tab tak mein breakfast bana leti hun... and I am absolutely fine, aap chinta mat kijiye..." saying this she left in kitchen... Sameer ignoring Kamya's presence left in elevator to his room...

Kamya seeing their behavior left to her room to get ready smiling evilly, "ab jab Naina sab jaan gayi hai aur us ne mujhse dosti tod hi di hai toh mujhe apni feelings chhupane ki koi jarurat nahin... vaise bhi log marte hai Kamya Parekh se dosti karne ke liye... aur Naina ne jo kal meri insult ki hai uski saza toh deni hi padegi na... just wait and watch..."

Sameer getting ready opened her wardrobe and picked up another new dress for her thinking, "yeh toh sirf kuchh hi dresses hai... itani aasani se shopping ke liye nahin maanegi, kuchh karna padega..."

He quickly makes a call doing his planning and talked for a while... seeing her picture in his mobile he smiled thinking, "tumhare liye kuchh bhi karne se tum mujhe nahin rok sakti... jitne dil se tum dosti nibha rahi ho, mein utani hi shiddat se apna pyaar jataunga... vaise bhi tumne kaha tha ki dost kabhi ek dusre ki baat ka bura nahin manate..."

Getting ready he came down seeing her at breakfast table... all others joined at table except Kamya when Vishakha interrupt them, "Naina, usually tum dikhaayi hi nahin deti par Kamya tumhari friend hai... kam se kam uska toh dhyaan rakha karo... itna kya busy ho... voh bechari roj tum logon ka wait kar rahi hoti hai... chalo jaao aur usey bula kar laao..."

Naina unwillingly stood to go when Sameer hold her hand, "Naina kahin nahin jaayegi... Kamya aapki guest hai... so you take care of her... aur voh koi bachchi nahin jise bulana padega... itne din se yahaan rah rahi hai usey pata hoga ki time par aana hai... vaise bhi she is just a guest so usey ab vaapas chale jaana chahiye..."

Sameer gesture Naina to sit back when Karthik said, "ya, Sameer is right... aur Mummy aap mera jawaab jaanti ho toh please yeh sab mat karo... I have already told you my decision so please don't force me... jo aap chahti ho voh mein kabhi nahin karunga toh bekaar mein Kamya ko yahaan rokne se kya faayda... please ask her to go..."

Vishakha glared him, "juts shut up... I will do what is best for you and Kamya is perfect match for you..." she stops in between seeing Kamya coming towards them with a smile on her face...

Kamya greet everyone sitting next to Vishakha... Karthik excusing himself left from table without eating breakfast, getting dishearten... Naina feeling uncomfortable around Kamya feels more offended thinking, "meri wajah se aaj sab log kitne pareshaan hai... it was my blind trust on Kamya to allow her to come in this house... Sameerji ne kitna samjhaya tha par maine nahin maani aur aaj Karthikji bhi inn sab mein phans gaye... Kamya ki wajah se Rani Sahiba kabhi Amrita ko nahin apnayengi..."

She looked at shameless attitude of her feeling more ashamed, "I wish maine waqt rehte Kamya ki galtiyaan nazar andaaz nahin ki hoti... kal ke baad laga tha ki shayad voh yahaan se chali jaayegi par mein phir ek baar galat saabit huyi... ab meri jimmedari hai ki ghar mein kisi ko Kamya ki wajah se aur koi takleef na ho, Sameerji ko toh bilkul bhi nahin... agar jarurat huyi toh mein khud Rani Sahiba se baat karungi..." feeling dishearten she left the breakfast table making an excuse...

Kamya ignoring them keep busy in chatting with Vishakha making Sameer gets more annoyed, "how could she be so shameless... sabko itna hurt karne ke baad chehre par ek shikan bhi nahin... kal Naina ke saaf saaf kehne ke baad bhi abhi tak yahin hai... so disgusting..." he too left from there having no appetite...
