Naina coming back into her cabin, pacing here and there recklessly, "suna tha log badalte hai lekin yeh 360 degree conversion pehli baar dekha hai... samajh nahin aata pichhle kuchh saalon mein aisa bhi kya ho gaya ki Sameer ki toh poori personality hi badal gayi hai... inse jyaada mature toh meri Nehu hai... ek baar jo kaho voh baat maan leti hai lekin yeh toh adiyal ghode ki tarah atak hi jaate hai... ek mauka nahin chhod rahe mujhe pareshaan karne ka aur ab yeh naya drama laga rakha hai... pehle toh itne pyaar se mera naam lete the aur ab Madam Madam kah ke mujhe tease kar rahe hai..."

She looked towards the door expecting him to follow her but relieved finding him not there, "aise toh ho li saari preparations... pata nahin Sameer kaise business sambhal lete the itne sab personal issues ke saath bhi..." she was frustrated on herself not able to focus on anything except him. Venting out all her irritation with his continuous teasing she pulled out some papers to check the finances to distract herself from his thought.

Naina all emerged in her work, just took a sip of water when Sameer barged into her office without knock, making her chocked suddenly hearing his voice, "Madam... voh maine meeting..."

Sameer taking long strides came to her side softly caressing her back, "you alright... aaraam se paani piya karo... abhi tak bachchon ke jaise behave karna chhoda nahin tumne..." he scolds lovingly getting worried seeing her coughing badly... his tone was similar like earlier when he used to take care of her during her illness.

Naina getting calm throw daggers that how easily he always put all blame on her, "yeh kya aapne Madam Madam laga rakha hai... bola na mujhe yeh pasand nahin..." it was due to his sudden calling her so professionally, makes her chocked...

Sameer putting a straight face accepted her demand making her shocked, "okay... as you said... ab se mein tum ko Madam nahin kahunga..." she took a deep sigh that finally after showing some tantrums he somehow agreed on her one request...

But in very next second her smile vanished giving her almost a mini heart attack, "okay sweetheart..." he winked making her shocked more...

Before Naina opposed him, he said firmly, "ab office mein tum Madam nahin bolne dogi toh mein jaise ghar par tumhein jaan, sweetheart, wifey bolta hoon, vahi sab toh bolna padega... ismein meri kya galti hai..." he said with the most innocent excuse he can give...

Naina stood from her chair, keeping herself calm to handle him, "please Sameer, mat kijiye na yeh sab... hum donon jaante hai ki inn sab se kuchh nahin hoga... hamara raaste pehle hi alag ho chuke hai aur hum donon hi apni apni zindagi mein khush hai... aap please vaapas..."

Stepping closer to her, he makes her take few steps back to have only her back hit the shelf behind her... he asked placing both his palms on the either side of the shelf, blocking her, "how could you say this so easily ki hamare raaste alag ho chuke hai... kya hamare beech koi rishta nahin, kya humne jo waqt, jo pal ek saath bitaye unke koi maayne nahin tumhare liye... kya voh sab ek dhokha tha ya tum mere saath time paas kar rahi thi..." his voice was turning angry with each word he spoke, his eyes burning in anger hearing that why again and again she is insisting him to leave and go away...

Naina was all dumfound seeing his anger said feebly in her meek voice, "aap please samajhiye mein..."

Sameer losing his temper squeezed his eyes throwing daggers, "kya samjhu mein Naina... bataao mujhe kya samjhu mein jab mujhe saaf saaf dikh raha hai ki kaise tumne aaj tak meri har yaad ko apne dil se laga rakha hai... kaise tumne sabse chhupa kar meri beti ko meri hi bachpan ki dress pehnayi... kaise bhool jaaun ki roj raat tumhein chen ki neend sirf meri awaaz sunkar aati hai... ya yeh samhju ki aaj bhi tumhein meri har chhoti badi baat se kitna farq padta hai... maine khaana khaaya ki nahin, mujhe kaisi coffee pasand hai, mera favourite breakfast banana... kya kya samjhu mein jisase mujhe lage ki tum mere bina khush ho aur tumhein hamare rishtey ke hone ya na hone se koi farq nahin padta..." he almost shouts on proving how much they are still connected to each other even after so many years but she was still adamant to hid her feelings...

His anger suppressed seeing her beautiful eyes turned wet, makes him weak... taking a deep sigh he leaned slightly keeping her forehead on hers, "kyun Naina... kyun nahin maan leti ki aaj bhi tumhari har dhadkan mein sirf mera naam hai... kyun nahin maan leti ki hamari Angel ki zindagi mein hum donon ki kitni ehmiyat hai... uska masoom bachpan hum donon ke bina adhura hai... kyun nahin maan leti ki mujhse dur jaakar bhi kabhi ek pal ke liye bhi tumne mujhse pyaar karna nahin chhoda... ek baar bata toh do kis baat ki narajagi hai... yakeen maano mein hamare beech ki har duri mita dunga..."

Naina keeping her eyes closed lost in his deep painful voice... it was wrong to say that she was not touched with his confession but how can she forget about another family of him... she cannot be a homewrecker and never wanted to become reason for someone's miseries...

Pushing him slightly away she went passed him when a harsh tug at her wrist stops her... Naina looked at her hand said slowly, "please leave me Sameer... mujhe iss baare mein koi baat nahin karni... hum donon alag ho chuke hai aur ab baat karne ke liye kuchh nahin bacha..."

Sameer feels hurt hearing her so indifferent tone... he had expected her to voice out her feeling now when he asked so straight forward, but again she was adamant not to reveal her true feeling...

He smiled sarcastically raising her wrist tugged in his hand, "agar hamare beech kuchh nahin bacha toh kyun aaj bhi yeh Nanu ke aashirwaad aur Maa ki aakhiri nishaani ke kangan tumhari kalaai mein hai... inn par toh sirf meri life partner ka haq hona chahiye tha na, toh tum inhein apne saath kyun le aayi..." he looked deeply into her eyes as pushing her hard to reveal her feelings...

Naina got caught off guard as Sameer pointed towards the kangan which she was still wearing... to break her trance he asked, "aur aaj bhi hamare pyaar ki nishaani ki tarah iss anguthi ko kyun pehna hua hai... agar dil se mujhe nikaal chuki ho toh iss anguthi ko apni ungli se kyun nahin utaara... tumhare liye toh hamara rishta, hamara saath koi maayne nahin rakhta na... bolo" he asked holding softly her fingers of left hand in his other hand...

She was totally speechless that how keenly Sameer has observed all matter related to her in just one day and conclude that she is still deeply in his love... all these belongings which she treasured throughout these years close to her heart revealed all her unsaid hidden feelings...

Seeing her still silent he said, "aisa kiya kya hai Naina maine jo mujhe itni badi saza di tumne... sirf hum donon ki khushiyaan hi toh chaahi thi maine... kya itna bhi haq nahin tha mera ki mein hum donon ki zindagi ka koi faisla le sakun... maine apne dil ki har baat, har dard tumhein bataya... apni har galti ki maafi bhi maangi toh kyun kiya tumne mere saath aisa... kyun mere pyaar, mere zazbaaton ka majaak bana diya tumne..." even if his words were harsh but his voice was laced with pain and agony he bear in last four years... he has all the rights to know the reason behind her rude and hurtful action of leaving him...

They both keep staring each other without breaking the eye contact... if one was eager to find the answers of his restlessness, to bridge the gap between them... the other one gets numb thinking how to make him understand that they are apart from each other and cannot be together in this life anymore...

They both were in their world of thoughts, when Naina's phone ringed breaking the silence prevailed in the room and chain of their thoughts... initially none of them initiated to move but continuous ring broke their trance... Naina pushed him slightly and rushed towards her desk to pick up the ringing phone... Sameer feeling hurt and pissed off with her behaviour stormed out from the room shutting the door behind with a loud bang...

Naina ignoring the ringing phone in her hand wiped her tears, "kyun aaye ho Sameer tum yahaan jab mein tumhein kuchh nahin de sakti... tumse pyaar kiya hai aur kabhi nahin chahungi ki meri wajah se tumhari zindagi mein koi toofan aaye... ab hamare beech inn sawaal jawaab ki koi gunjayish nahin bachi aur na hi mein tumhein koi iljaam dena chahti hoon... maanti hoon saari galti sirf aur sirf meri thi jo mein aapke pyaar ke badle mein aapki ek khwahish bhi puri nahin kar paayi... lekin humne dobara milne mein bohot der kar di aur ab hum chah kar bhi waqt ko pichhe nahin mod sakte..."

She cried her heart out regretting on her decision for leaving him years back... even if she wanted to repent, she cannot change their destiny... the more she stays close to Sameer, the more she feels guilty for ruining their life... she cannot do anything except to blame herself.

Naina stays back in her office room trying to divert her mind and focus on her work whereas Sameer went out to get some fresh air and make his mind and heart calm... he knew it will not be easy to break her silence and he must keep patience... in a fit of anger he really behaved harshly with her and feels regret

Seeing his gloomy face Sagar asked, "what happen Sameer sir... lagta hai Naina madam se lad kar aa rahe ho..." he smiled looking his gloomy face, holding his laughter...

Sameer smiled faintly, "aaj kal vaise bhi ladaai ke alaawa kuchh aur ho hi nahin raha hamare beech... I wish voh pehle wale din vaapas laa paata jahaan hamare beech sirf pyaar hi pyaar tha, ek aisi ankahi dor se bandhe the jis mein har pal bas ek dusre ke saath rehne ka man hota tha... jara si bhi duri donon ko bechain kar deti thi"

Seher asked amusingly, "aur agar itna pyaar tha toh yeh ladaai aur judaai kyun huyi... Naina madam toh kitni sweet si hai, mujhe nahin lagta voh kisi se bhi jyaada der naraaj rah sakti hai, aur ladna toh unke bas ki baat hi nahin..." she supported Naina seeing her so much easy-going nature

Sagar retort back, "aur tumhein lagta hai Sameer sir ladaku hai... agar galat hote toh itni dur Naina Madam ke pichhe pichhe nahin aate lekin tum ladkiyaan na hamesha se hum ladko ki hi galtiyaan nikalti rehti ho... kabhi socha hai hamare dil par kya beetati hai... ek toh pehle ladogi aur phir humein hi manana bhi padta hai..." he himself was feeling low as since morning he was trying to gain her attention but got failed miserably...

Seher replied angrily keeping her hand on her waist, "achchha ji... matlab pehle galtiyaan tum karo, gussa tum dilaao aur hum bura bhi na maane... jab jo bolna hota hai voh toh bolte nahin bas baaki saari bakwaas karwa lo..." she also replied feeling hurt that even if they knew each other for so long he never initiated any talk with her during their college time

Before Sagar replied Sameer hold his hand making them both shut, "bas... chup raho tum donon... yahaan ek ladaai sulajh nahin rahi aur dusre Mahabharat ki taiyari shuru kar di tum donon ne... lagta hai mujhe hi kuchh karna padega apni jaan ko manane ke liye... kuchh bhi ho lekin mein apni Naina ko udaas toh nahin dekh sakta..."

Seher giving a hard look to Sagar left from there.... Sagar realising his mistake, nervously fidgeting his palms looked at Sameer, "Sir, agar kuchh idea aaye toh mujhe bhi bata dena... apaki toh biwi naraaj hai, lekin maine toh girlfriend banaane se pehle hi naraaj kar diya..."

Sameer giving him an impossible look kept his hand on his shoulder, "beta yeh aashiqui ka pehla usool hai ki galti ho ya na ho, lekin agar ladaai ho toh jhat se apne pyaar se maafi maang lena chahiye... kya pata dobara mauka mile ya na mile... ya kahin voh humse itani dur chali jaaye ki poori zindagi uski talaash mein na nikal jaaye..." his eye turned misty thinking how Naina left him without even telling him his mistake and not giving him any chance to apologise now.

Sagar got silent hearing his painful voice. Sameer wiped his misty eyes smiled keeping himself calm, "let's go... ab agar donon ruthi hai toh manana bhi toh hai... I have an idea..." he knew he has a long way to go and not possible for him to stay away from Naina, even if she is angry.

Seher entered in Naina's cabin giving her brief about the preparations... Naina's eyes still roaming towards the door waiting for only the one person who captured her mind and heart, unable her to focus on anything else...

Naina reprimand herself in her mind, "lagta hai maine kuchh jyaada hi naraaz kar diya... ab pata nahin gusse mein aakar kaun sa naya tarika dhundhenge mujhe torture karne ka... vaise bhi bol toh sahi hi rahe the... mein hi paagal hoon jo itani si baat ka bhi dhyaan nahin diya... kaise socha ki Sameer inn sab nishaniyon ko dekh kar bhi meri baat par vishwas karenge ki mein unhein bhool gayi hoon... maine khud hi unhein mauka de diya mujhe aur satane ka..."

A soft smile crept on her lips thinking, "lekin aaj bhi Sameer meri chhoti si chhoti baaton ka bhi kitna dhyaan rakhte hai... jaise pehle mere chehre ki ek shikan bhi unse nahin chhupati thi lagta hai aaj bhi meri har baat par nazar rakhte hai... lekin aaj bhi apni baat sidhe tarike se bolni nahin aayi... yaa toh jhutha gussa ya phir teasing shuru ho jaati hai... sirf ek Nehu hi hai jisase pyaar se baat karte hai..."

She pressed her temple feeling distressed, "lekin ab mein kya kaurn... sorry bolungi toh baat aur aage badegi, lekin unko naraaz bhi nahin dekh sakti... itne saalon baad yun saath rehne ka mauka mila hai, shayad kuchh din hi sahi lekin bhagwan ne mujhe yeh khushi ka mauka diya hai jise mein yun lad kar barbaad nahin kar sakti... aur jis tarah Sameerji Nehu se itna pyaar karte hai, pata nahin hamari kismat mein aage kya likha hai"

Seher tapped on the table seeing her so unfocused, "Naina Madam, are you okay... can I get something for you if you are not well"

Naina smiled weakly, "ya, I am fine... voh I was just thinking that where is rest of the team... I mean agar saara discussion ek saath hota toh theek rehta na... ab ek saath kaam karna hai as a team toh sabka meeting mein hona jaruri hai na..." she asked feeling slightly depressed missing his presence around

Seher replied making faces, I don't know Madam... lagta hai Sagar aur Sameer sir ek saath hi hai... pata nahin donon kya khichdi paka rahe hai..." she mumbled slowly feeling irritated that Sagar didn't come after her to even apologize

Then only door opened showing two figures coming inside carrying paper bags in their hand... placing the packet at round table Sameer called everyone, "come fast... mein sabke liye lunch lekar aaya hoon... ab itna kaam karenge toh bhukh toh lagti hi hai na aur vaise bhi maine breakfast mein thode se hi parathe khaaye the aur uske baad se abhi tak maine kuchh nahin khaaya..." he smiled innocently giving a side glance to the confused person giving him a hard glare...

He already ate more than 6 parathe in breakfast and still saying he didn't eat much... she mumbled slowly, "mujhse ladne aur pareshaan karne ke liye saari taakat lagta hai un paratho se hi aati hai... lagta hai aloo inke liye energy booster hai"

Ignoring them she continued doing her work with Seher, who was also not willing to speak to Sagar after her first argument... Sagar giving a pleading look to Sameer, "Sir, ab aap hi manaao na... lagta hai donon ruthi huyi hai"

Sameer taking a deep sigh strode towards her table, "Naina please chalo aur lunch kar lo... dekho tum ne breakfast mein bhi theek se nahin khaaya tha toh please chalo..." he cannot tease her anymore seeing her gloomy face and skipping her lunch

To avoid creating any scene in front of her other team members, she stood walking towards the table followed by Seher and Sameer... they settled down on a round table staring their lunch... Seher helped Sagar to unpack the food brought by them, her favourite pao bhaaji...

To kill the silence, Naina discussed about the preparation for upcoming wedding... Sagar informed that the couple is about to come any time to meet them personally to discuss on their choices for final preparations.

Sameer smiled inwardly seeing her discussing professionally about the arrangements... even when earlier, she was working under him as his personal assistant, time and again he realized how intelligent she was. He always appreciates her thoughtfulness of seeing the situation and brilliant ideas to resolve the matters officially. But always surprised that how can a person like her can be so foolish when it comes to her own personal matters or life.

Naina interrupts his thoughts shaking his hand slightly, "Sameer aap khaana kyun nahin kha rahe... aapko pasand nahin aaya kya" she knew he was never fond of street food and prefer completely home-made hygiene food, made by her.

Before he replied Seher spoke, "lagta hai Sameer sir ko khaana spicy lag raha hai auron ki tarah" she laughed slowly eyeing to Sagar who was drinking water with every bite...

Seher suppressing her laughter said, "lagta ha spicy khaana har kisi ke bas ki baat nahin, kyun Naina madam" she laughed mocking on boys who were accusing women of behaving immaturely, some time back only

Sameer smiled hearing Naina so much concerned about him replied, "mujhe toh vaise bhi teekhe se jyaada meetha pasand hai... kyun Naina yaad hai na tumhein..." he winked making her blushed turning her cheek with a tinge of red...

She coughed slightly giving him a hard glare to blurt out anything in front of all... he spoke making an innocent face, "bhool gayi tumne wada kiya tha ki mujhe meethe ke liye kabhi mana nahin karogi" his next words feeling her to dig out a hole and hide herself in front of this Mr Shameless Maheshwari

To save her from more embarrassment, a worker knocked at the door coming inside, "voh Madam Mr Albert aaye hai aapse milne"

Sagar stood with Seher, "Naina madam, hum unse mil kar saari details le lenge... aap log lunch kijiye" saying this they both collected their notepads and left for the meeting with bride and groom to take their suggestion as per their choice of wedding

Before Naina also followed them avoiding his teasing smirk felt a harsh grip on her wrist making her twirled and straight landed into his lap... she clutched her eyes in fear encircling her hands around his neck... her eyes shot opened hearing his husky voice, "khaane ke baad meetha toh banta hai na... maloom hai mera Sugar level kitna low ho gaya hai" he said making a cute pity face as actually he was suffering from lack of nutrition in his body

Naina hit slightly on his chest, "bilkul sharam nahin hai na... kisi ke bhi saamne kuchh bhi bol dete hai... unhein pata chal jaata toh"

Sameer smirks trailing his long slender fingers on her cheeks, "you know na, I don't care about others... vaise bhi jab miyaan biwi raazi toh kya karega Kaazi... correct" his fingers moved down from her cheeks to her jawline to her neck, making her tremble as strange emotions overtook her...

In a swift moment of heavenly feeling, she forgets all her uneasiness and her tangled relation with him... her soul soaked in the blissed moment of herself into his arms leaving all her worries aside... she leaned slightly keeping her soft lips on his, losing all semblance of control.

"You really driving me crazy" he whispered in a husky voice full of desire, crushing her in his tight grip... Naina closed her eyes, struggling not to faint from his hot touch... everything in the whole universe faded away except the feel of his soft, warm lips over her, passionately feeling and tasting hers.

He holds his back from his other hand pulling her more to himself and plunged his tongue into her hot mouth, crushing her tightly in his arms. His hot tongue grazed against hers and she moaned with pleasure. Though they were into intimately kissed earlier but she had never been kissed before like this feeling so heavenly and intoxicating. Soon the kiss turned wild, as the passion grew to new heights... suddenly his mobile phone rang and Naina opened her eyes with panic, coming back to her senses.

But Sameer didn't stop, his mouth was still passionately fused to hers, his arms crushing her to his body. Naina with all her strength left after such a passionate kiss, tried to push him away, but all attempts seem futile. Finally, Sameer lifted his head, looking drunken and delirious, his eyes held a strange glean as he stared at her with confusion and slightly annoyed with disturbance...

"Your phone..." Naina whispered, a warm blush spreading all over her thinking of what they had done in a heat of moment. Sameer nodded releasing his grip making her stand back on her feet. He picked up his phone lying at table which suddenly stopped ringing anymore. He seemed to have calmed himself easily while Naina was unable to control the rapid beating of her heart. She had never been so aroused in her entire life.

Calming herself she settled back on her chair... to avoid awkwardness between them she starts eating her left over food absent-mindedly... Naina found it odd that how easily he released her from his warmth... is he annoyed as she has taken the initiative first to kiss him which later turned so passionate.

"Do you like it?" Sameer asked suddenly, and she looked up at him startled.

"Like? what?" she exclaimed nervously with wide eyes. Sameer gazed into her eyes and then a slow smile spread over his face

"The Kiss... after such a long time..." he asked with no trace of shyness with his eyes looked extremely amused. Naina's eyes widened further, and her mouth hung openly. How can he ask such a shameless question... but rightly said, Mr Shameless Maheshwari can do anything, no wonder...

She opened her mouth to reply but shocked more hearing his abashed words, "voh kai saalon baad kiya hai na toh socha kahin practice toh nahin chhut gayi... so just want to check my performance ..." he asked giving the most innocent look as he was really asking to check and wanted her to reward on his act.

"Shut up" she stammered out, looking down at her food hearing his loud laughter, away from his piercing eyes which seemed to read her like an open book... he knew how much engrossed she was forgetting all her surroundings and immersed in their deep intense heated moment.

Before he further teases her, his phone started to buzz, and Sameer picked it up reluctantly to check... it was an unknown number making him more furious to spoil his moment with his lady love...

Naina finding the chance quickly strode out from the room leaving the sulky person behind... he picked up the phone annoyingly, "Who's this?"

Soon his frown changed into a soothing feel... he keeps listening for some moment and hung up the call assuring to the other person, "don't worry I will manage... and yes, thanks for supporting me" with a contented smile he also followed others outside where they all were busy in discussion with would-be couple about their marriage preparations, asking their expectation for their big day.

After their meeting, they all discussed for the planning and soon Naina distributes the responsibilities amongst them ensuring to make it best... Sameer also involved fully himself willingly to support to reduce her burden seeing lots of work were left and they had only 2 days left for the preparation. Though he was not having any idea of event management, but his intelligence was enough for him to manage the show.

They all worked hard for few next hours forgetting everything but whenever their eyes collide with each other, a hint of glint appears making them both blush hard. Even Sagar and Seher also worked together in a peaceful way.

Sameer quickly finishing all his tasks in hand came to Naina, "excuse me Madam, I know it's my first day started working here but I had to go out for some personal work... I already finished all my part of work so can I leave early, if you allow" he asked with a straight face to tease her more behaving like a thorough professional assistant

Naina frowned taking a deep sigh, "aap nahin maanoge na... mana kiya na maine ki mujhe Madam mat boliye... please Sameer, dekhiye mein bhi toh aapka naam le rahi hoon na"

Sameer shook his head, "no ways... either you allow me to call you sweetheart in front of everyone otherwise you know how much stubborn I am" he said raising his head proudly on his ways to threaten her.

Naina huffed in anger, "okay fine... jo karna hai kijiye, I don't care... vaise bhi meri kaun sunta hai" saying this she turned to go away from him but stopped feeling irritated more hearing him, "okay Boss... jaisa aap kahein..."

She stomped her feet angrily leaving him laughing loudly seeing her furious expression. She came back to her cabin, "hadd hoti hai zid ki bhi... ab toh lagta hai pehle se bhi jyaada maharat haasil kar li hai zid karne mein... pata nahin aur kaun kaun se ideas sujhenge mujhe pareshaan karne ke... Mr Ziddi Maheshwari"

To keeping her mind in control, she started completing all pending works in hand needed to be finish within today after having a detailed discussion with the would-be couple.

An hour passed, Sagar and Seher came to report her seeing her alone working inside her cabin, "Naina Madam aap akele kyun kar rahe ho... humein laga Sameer bhi aapke hi saath honge"

Naina asked surprisingly, "kyun Sameer toh tum logon ke saath baahar ka decoration karwa rahe the na... I thought you three are together working outside"

Seher shook her head, "nahin, Sameer toh hamare saath nahin the... vaise unka kaam toh kaafi der pehle hi khatam ho gaya tha..."

Naina suddenly recalled that Sameer was asking her permission to leave early... but he doesn't know anyone in this city and has no official work to go out either... she shuddered with the thought "has he gone leaving her alone... again?"

Naina avoiding this discussed their work and soon after briefing her they both also left for the day... even if it was their first day, they both worked perfectly, receive a praising note from their boss.

Naina sitting alone thought, "par hum toh subah ek saath aaye the toh akele kyun chale gaye... kahin mujhse naraaz toh nahin ho gaye... of course kal se hum sirf lad rahe hai aur Sameer ko toh vaise bhi gussa kitni jaldi aata hai... mein hi paagal hoon jo ek baar bhi kal se theek se baat nahin ki... lekin ab unhein dhundhu kahaan" she waited for him for another one hour but seems he has no plans to return back... neither he call her back to check for her where about... reluctantly she picked up her bag and left for home on her scooty... alone... 

Hope you like the update and enjoy reading it.

Have a nice weekend.
