Early morning as per her routine Naina woke up and after getting freshen up she went down to temple, her peace place... she cleaned the place and lit diya.... to her surprise, Chinni too came early before going for school...

Chinni tell excitedly, "Bhabhi aap yahaan roj pooja karogi toh mein bhi aapke saath aaya karungi... roj aapke saath pooja karti hoon toh poora din achchha jaata hai..." Naina smiled seeing her as in entire house she is the only one who talks sweetly with her and making her smile...

On Chinni's insistence, Naina agreed to sing aarti in her melodious voice....

Sameer's eyes opened with a melodious voice fall on his ear... he sits back realizing she is not around... he tried to recall where he heard this voice earlier but failed... all his temper and anger suddenly melt in the harmonious voice...

Soon his trance broke with a knock on the door, seeing Pandit coming inside... after a long period of time Pandit surprised to see him awaked with a sweet smile on his face... soon after having their morning tea and discussion for the whole day, he gets ready to go down for breakfast... as compared to other days he seems more relaxed and calm making Pandit surprised too... but he was happy for his friend...

Chinni left for school soon aarti gets over... Naina sits back to spend some more time alone, "Kanha ji, aaj se maine apni zindagi ki nayi shuruaat ki hai... mujhe pata hai aapka aashirwad hamesha se mere saath raha hai aur rahega... aapke siwa koi nahin tha jisase apne dil ki baat kah sakti, par ab koi hai... koi aisa jise mujhse koi chhin nahin sakta... koi kaagaz, koi kanoon nahin..." she said smilingly keeping her hand at her belly....

Taking a deep sigh she said with brimmed eyes, "aapko toh pata hi hoga ki kal ek baar phir mujhe mere rishtey ke liye ek nayi mauhlat mil gayi... phir se 6 mahine... pichhali baar mein anjaan thi isiliye sapne bhi dekhe aur unke poora hone ki ummid bhi ki... par iss baar nahin, bilkul nahin... mujhe meri aane wali zindagi saaf saaf dikh rahi hai... mujhe ab sirf apne baby ke liye jeena hai... par phir bhi mein poori koshish karungi ki inn 6 mahino mein Sameerji ko koi pareshaani na ho meri wajah se... pichhli baar Sharad ne ek jhatke mein mujhe apni zindagi se nikaal phenka tha, voh bhi jhuthe iljaam ke saath ... par Sameerji ne aisa nahin kiya... kal bhale hi koi bhi wajah ho par unhone hum donon ki jaan bachaayi... bhale hi jubaan se nahin kaha par mein samajhti hun ki unhone mujhe mauhlat di hai taaki mein apni aane wali zindagi ke liye taiyar ho sakun... mujhe iss ghar se nahin nikala vohi bohot hai mere liye..."

"mujhe ab sirf ek achchhi si naukari dhundhani hai jisase mein apne bachche ka bhavishya bana sakun... yeh kuchh mahine meri pariksha hai jise mujhe poora karna hai... shayad jaane se pehle ek baar mein unki aankhon mein apne liye apnapan dekh paaun... pyaar ki ummid nahin par itna ho sake ki mere jaane ke baad voh mujhe bhule na... shayad unke dil mein apne liye thodi si jagah bana sakun... agar nahin bhi hua toh mujhe koi shikayat nahin... hamare rishtye ki neenv hi ek jhuth par rakhi gayi thi... aur din ba din duriyaan badhti hi gayi... iss rishtey ko toh tootna hi tha, bas yahi dukh hai ki mein theek se koshish bhi nahin kar paayi... par aap ho na mere saath, ab mein kabhi kamjor nahin padungi..." saying it she wiped tears from her eyes and smiled confidently...

Naina came inside the house seeing all were sitting on the table for breakfast... she tried to avoid all and straight moved to her room side, when Vishakha called her from back, "Naina... tumko breakfast nahin karna... come and join us..."

Seeing no option she nodded slowly and moved towards the table looking down as avoiding their intense gaze... she stops at a distance when Vishakha asked again, "tum toh nazar hi nahin aati... shayad tumhein nahin pata hamari parampara hai ki subah saara pariwaar ek saath breakfast karta hai... ab toh tum bhi iss ghar ka hissa ho toh aage se dhyaan rahe ki yeh parampara na toote..." she said in an authoritative firm tone...

Naina nodded and pulled a chair to sit next to Vishakha when she stopped her and asked to sit next to Sameer... she lift her face looking at him but relaxed seeing him busy in his mobile in one hand and having his breakfast... she quietly went and sits next to him...

Vishakha keep pampering her offering all dishes she especially got prepared for her... showering all her motherly love she talk to her sweetly whole time... Naina felt embarrassed and somehow guilty as till now Vishakha is not aware of her true identity... she didn't want to betray her but after agreeing with Sameer for 6 months contract there was no point left to reveal herself to Vishakha... soon she will leave this house breaking all relations from everyone around... Sameer and Karthik were completely in silence and soon they dispersed to their work after finishing their breakfast...

Naina quickly finishing her breakfast stood to go when Vishakha stops her, "Naina, tumne bataya nahin ki office kaisa chal raha hai... I mean tum toh Sameer ki assistant ho na toh voh kya karta hai, kahaan jaata hai, tumhein sab pata hoga na... I am sure tum uske schedule ka achchhe se khayal rakhti hogi... uski saari meetings... voh kya karta hai, kisase milta hai, kya deals final hoti hai... tumhein toh sab pata hoga, hai na.." she asked with an expectant look...

Naina looked at her surprisingly and nodded her head when Vishakha said, "perfect... mujhe pehle hi pata tha ki tum bohot hoshiyaar ho... toh kal se tum mujhe Sameer ki saari khabar dogi... I mean tum mujhe galat mat samajhna par I am little worried about him... after his accident he become very lonely... he hardly spoke to anyone and always keep his thoughts inside him... as being a Mother, I should know ki uski zindagi mein kya chal raha hai... tum samajh rahi ho na mera matlab..." she said showing fake sympathy towards him...

Naina being enough intelligent understood hidden meanings of her words, "Rani Sahiba... aap mujhse Sameer ji ki jasoosi karwana chahti hai..." she asked politely but in firm tone looking straight into her eyes...

Vishakha shocked on her sudden burst and shouts, "how dare you talk to me like this... tumhein aaye kuchh din huye hai aur tum mujhpar ilzaam laga rahi ho... mein koi dushman nahin hoon apn bete ki... mein toh sirf company aur iss ghar ki bhalaai chahti hun, isliye kah rahi thi... Sameer akele sab sambhalta hai toh uski chinta rehti hai mujhe, bas aur kuchh nahin... and you are blaming a mother for her concern to his son... how dare you say this..." she said with an angry look to her expecting her to get scared...

Naina smiled replying softly looking straight into her eyes, "I am glad that you are so much concern for him but I really don't think any reason for you to get worried... jahaan tak mujhe pata hai, jab se Sameerji ne business take over kiya hai, company no. 1 position par pahunch gayi hai sirf 5 saalon mein... he has excellent business acumen and his decisions are always in favor of company... so I think at this age you should not get much concern about business and take good care of yourself... rest all you can leave on him... believe me he is excellent in managing everything alone... he doesn't need anyone's support...." saying this she stood to go showing her full trust and confidence on Sameer leaving Vishakha in shock...

She turned back seeing her angry face but said keeping herself calm, "Rani Sahiba, I am his wife at home and his personal assistant in office... don't except me to be a spy and include me in any scheming against him... I really respect you as his mother but I truly believe in his capabilities... I trust him more than anyone, hope you understood..." saying this she left for her room as getting late to go to office...

This is the first time she realized Vishakha's hidden motive to send her office with him and feels sad for Sameer... his own family trying to deceive him rather than supporting him... is this the reason he never trusted on anybody... is this his reason for being so rude always... she had never seen him talking with anyone at home, even Chinni also said that he hardly spoke to anyone... she somehow feels pity on him that how can someone live alone in entire world... she herself is in same situation and can easily feel his pain...

Vishakha fumed in anger breathing heavily seeing her plan failed, "how dare she... yeh kal ki aayi middle class ladki mujhe jawaab deti hai... socha tha chhote ghar ki ladki hai toh meri har baat chup kar ke maanegi par yeh toh mujhe hi baatein suna kar chali gayi... shakal se bholi lagti hai par dimaag kitna tez chalta hai... but I will not spare her..." cursing her she left for her room...

Oblivious to them two pairs of eyes were watching and listening there all discussions and argument... soon they turned back and left for office without realizing them their presence with a feeling of mixed emotions for her... whole way they both remained silent, getting confused seeing this side of Naina... they were confused whether to believe her or not... is she innocent or scheming against him like others...

Naina left home walking till bus stand when suddenly a car stopped near her... she surprised to see Karthik getting down from car and approached her, "hi Naina... why are you going alone... come and sit.. I am also going to office... we can go together..."

Recalling Sameer's reaction when last time she spoke with Karthik she denied politely, "nahin Karthikji... I am fine and used too of going alone... anyways thanks for the offer..." she refused politely and walked ahead...

Karthik stops her again, "look Naina, I know how rudely Sameer behaves with you... I noticed everything in meeting... but still you are family for me... I can't see you suffering like this... at least I can help you a little bit and we can be friends..." he said in a soft tone making her smile that at least someone consider her as a part of their family... earlier she was considering Vishakha polite to her and showering motherly love but now she is clear on her intentions...

Naina looked at Karthik with a smile and politely refused again, "thanks Karthikji, but really I am fine... you better leave otherwise we both will get late in reaching office... and I don't want to get late... so it's a request, please let me go..." she left and moved to go ahead when Karthik said, "Naina, I know you are not well... at least no need to exert yourself anymore and please come with me... I will not listen anything more... I insist..." he opened the door for her... seeing him so adamant and knowing her own medical condition she finally accepted his offer mouthed thanks to him...

They settled back in car and move to office... talking randomly she find him different from Sameer... they are totally opposite in nature and poles apart.. but still something was bothering her to get friendly with him... she doesn't want any more problems for herself as Sameer already doubting on her character... moreover, she has to leave this house after 6 months and she doesn't want to keep any relation with anyone of them... she has no hopes from anyone now...

Reaching office, she quickly left for her floor bidding bye to him... she doesn't want to hide anything from Sameer but after yesterday they were no more even in terms to share there whereabouts... according to her Sameer anyways seems least bothered to know about her....

She reached at her seat and settled to start her work as expecting a bunch of pending file must be in list from him... but to her utter surprise, she find just few pending file at her desk... she starts working when seeing time quickly made his coffee and went to his cabin...

She halt at doorstep when heard him shouting on Pandit for unable to find someone... letting out the matter she knocked slowly on the door asking permission to go in... she entered getting a surprised look from Sameer and Pandit... seeing her coming inside, Pandit left out for some work... for Sameer, he was expecting her to be at home and taking rest but now she is here getting coffee for her...

She placed the coffee mug on his table and stood there looking down... he looked at her face keenly while tapping his fingers on the table... he wants to talk to her but somehow felt loss of words... he quietly picked up the mug and took a sip... turning his attention back to his laptop he said coldly, "you may leave now..."

She got surprised as he has not ordered to change the coffee today... she turned and moved out from the cabin...

Sameer seeing her going out feels sad thinking, "why she has to come office today... tabiyat theek nahin hai, kal hi hospital se aayi hai aur aaj office aana hai... idiot... why she is so careless about herself... lagta hai jaise saare office ka kaam akele karna chahti hai... I wish mujhe pata hota yeh office aane wali hai toh ghar par hi rok deta...

Par jis tarah aaj isne ghar par palat kar jawaab diya, isey nahin karna chahiye tha... yeh nahin jaanti ki Mrs Vishakha Maheshwari kaisi aurat hai... mein poori koshish karunga ki aage se yeh unse dur hi rahe... mein nahin chahta ki iss par kisi bhi tarah ki koi pareshaani aaye... par jo bhi isne aaj kaha kya sach mein yeh aisa maanti hai...

She really have so much confidence on me..

Has she really trusted me... but why?

Samajh nahin aa raha ki yeh iss rishtey mein sach mein rehna chahti hai ya mujhe chhod kar apne ex husband ke paas jaaana chahti hai... meri zindagi mein aaj tak itni confusion kabhi nahin huyi... I wish jaldi hi hum donon ko hamare sawalo ke jawaab mil jaaye... mere liye iski khushi se badhkar kuchh nahin... mein khud bhi nahin... par shayad kabhi isase yeh kah nahin sakunga..."

Naina came back to her seat when surprised to see Pandit standing there waiting for her... seeing her coming back Pandit asked softly, "can I ask you one thing..."

She looked at him surprisingly as till date he never talk to her politely... he is very close to Sameer and she had always seen hatred in his eyes towards her ... but today he himself came to her and talking softly... she simply nodded when he asked, "why did you signed the agreement..."

Naina stunned on him asking such question and lowered her head... she replied slowly, "do I have a choice... agar mein mana karti toh kya voh maan jaate...."

Pandit feels bad for her... he knew Sameer's anger very well... even he himself also tried a lot to convince him to not to take such drastic step but failed... lastly he was expecting from Naina to not to sign on documents but it happened... he turned to go back when she stops him asking, "is he looking for some girl... he has someone special in his life..?"

Pandit instantly turned back and replied rudely, "it's none of your business... stay away from it to avoid yourself from his wrath.. okay..." he left warning her to be away... this is indeed a very sensitive matter for Sameer and he knew Sameer will not like if Naina intervene in this issue...

Naina sits back on her seat starting her work but her mind again and again went to their discussion which she heard by mistake... Sameer was shouting on Pandit for not able to find someone... his voice shows how much restless and eager he wants to know about her...

"Is he in love with someone else...?

"Then why he gets agreed to marry me... for me it was planned by my parents, but for him he was free to take his own decisions... is this marriage also forced on him... that's the reason he wants to get rid-off me soon..."

She gets more firm on her decision thinking, "if he loves someone else, I will not become hurdle in his life... if he wish, I will leave him even before... he saved me and my child, unke liye mein kuchh bhi kar sakti hun... unka yeh ehsaan hamesha rahega mujhpar..."

Whole day went in silence... Sameer didn't call her or assign any work thinking she should not be exerted more.... Naina was also quite surprised by his behavior that today he accepted her coffee at first time itself and didn't scold her for anything... she just spend time completing her work without any disturbance from his side unlike other days...

Her trance broke when she heard her intercom ringing ... she went inside when Sameer handed her few files to go through and make a detailed synopsis... he assigned to do a complete investigation of this firm and collect all relevant details as they are planning to do a big collaboration with them... Jindal Enterprises...

She firstly shocked that why has he assigned such a tedious and important task to her but remain quiet and came out taking files in hand... this project seems to be very important for Sameer and she doesn't want to get failed in front of her... a good chance to prove her calibers...

She starts her work and through internet gather all relevant information about the company... it was a well reputed company for ages but now days has some bad impression in the market since the company has taken over by new CEO Rakesh Jindal... people used to call him Rocky...

She prepared a detailed report for Sameer and mailed it to him as he was out to attend some meeting... by the time she finished it off it was time to leave... keeping the file back in his cabin she left from office...

The moment she stepped out from office her phone buzzed with a message from Kamya... "can we meet... it's urgent.."

Hi friends,

Today, I feel like to explain my pov regarding the concept of this story...

I know you are not liking Sameer's behavior and rudeness towards Naina... he truely loves her more than anyone in his life but feeling hurt and cheated due to her lies... firstly for marriage and now baby... he really doesn't know her too much till now so it's really difficult for a person to believe on a stranger in such circumstances... added to he himself is not in a good condition and never wanted to see her suffering in her life because of him... ready to sacrifice his love for her happiness...

For Naina, she is innocent and truly believed on her parents and always obliged them... she has not seen the outer world and faced it... but she is honest and strong to handle any kind of situation... and she will change his opinion soon with her innocence and pure heart... though she has no reason to be blamed but sometimes destiny plays their own roles and make it difficult... and till now she has no attachment or feeling for him except just want to prove this marriage successful...

But that's the beauty of a relationship... even in adverse circumstances when you start falling for each other slowly, the bond became inseparable... that's the journey of our Naina who will fall in love with him when she realize how much he loves him without showing... bina kahe kisi ke gusse mein uska pyaar dhundh lena thoda mushkil hota hai ...💖💖

And for Sameer, when he support her unconditional without even knowing whether she loves him or not... bina kisi ummid ke pyaar nibhana bhi aasaan nahin hota...❤️❤️

Hope my friends, will remain with me during this journey of Samaina... I know lecture jyaada ho gaya but thanks a lot to be with me and all your support...

Next update very soon... stay safe and healthy.. love you all 😊
