Naina: Aap mujhe confuse kar rahe hai. Apne hi mujhe bola tha na ki Bhaiya apni responsibilities se bhag gaye. Aur abhi aap keh rahe hai ki woh apni marzi se nahi bhage the.

Sameer: Haan Naina! Aaj jab main bhaiya ke peeche peeche gaya toh......

Flashback

The moment Sameer had a glimpse of Devang, he ran behind him. By the time he reached the main gate, he saw Devang and ignited the car and was leaving. Running or shouting behind him seemed pointless for Sameer, so he hailed the autorickshaw coming towards him and asked the driver to follow Devang's car.

While Sameer was following Devang, he sent a message to Naina, to let her know that he is following Devang and she should go with Abhimanyu and Akshara to their home.

For following Devang for another 25 minutes, Sameer's auto halted in front of a duplex. Devang stepped out of the car with a small girl in his arms, who was sleeping. She wore a light yellow frock and her hair was plaited. Sameer's heart instantly melted seeing that little girl in Devang's arms. But immediately, a fear gripped his heart. The fear of Devang moving on and having a separate family which didn't include Poonam.

Sameer: Bhaiya! Aap rukenge kya? Main andar se aata hun thodi der mein.

Auto driver: Ruk jaata bhai sa. Par aaj mhari lugaai ko haspatal le jaana hai. Maaf karna bhai sa.

Sameer: Koi baat nahi! Aap jayiye. Aur yeh lijiye paise.

Sameer gave the driver the auto fare, and after taking a deep breath, he decided to go and knock the door which Devang had opened few minutes ago.

An old lady opened the door, and looked at Sameer with confusion clearly written on her face.

Lady: Koun ho tum beta? Kisse dhundh rahe ho?

Sameer: Namaste Maaji. Mera naam Sameer hai. Sameer Mahe...Mahajan. Woh main Bade Bazaar wale mele se aa raha hun. Actually, aapke bete ka purse wahan chutt gaya tha. Awaaz lagayi maine par unhone suna nahi. Toh unke peeche yahan aagaya. Unhe bula layengi kya please?

Lady smiled at Sameer and replied: Woh mera beta nahi hai. Main uski beti ki governess hun. Ruko main Dev ko bulati hun. Dev! Dev!

Sameer heard a familiar voice responding to the old lady, the same voice which he craved to hear for the past 10 years. The voice which used to give me him power and motivation to love the life that he has got. The voice of that man whom he loved equally as his father and grandfather. The only newly joined person in his family, whom he loved. And maybe still does.

Sameer was engrossed in his thoughts when he felt a body crushing into his. He came out of his thoughts and found a man hugging him like his life depends on it. He knew this touch, he knew this musky fragrance, he was familiar with this tight hug. He detached himself from that hug, and finally saw the pair of black eyes who always looked at him with adore and love just like now, the same square jaw face, which hadn't aged much than the last time he had seen this face. 10 years ago, the face was glowing, the under eyes weren't baggy, the stubble used to be trimmed, the cheeks were flat, and the eyes were glittery. But the man standing in front of him was nothing close to the man in his memories.

Devang: Sameer! Mera baccha! Kaisa hai tu? Kitna bada hogaya hai. Main bhi kya bol raha hun. Waqt ke saath obviously tu bada hogaya hoga. Last tujhe jab dekha tha tab sirf 18 saal ka tha. Aur ab dekho! 28 ka hogaya hai.

Sameer: Bhaiya! Aap.......aap........

Sameer's eyes welled up seeing Devang standing in front of him, and talking to him. The moment Devang took his name, Sameer's heart melted. He couldn't hold his tears back, and they rolled out.

Devang: Hey! Sameer! Tu ro kyun raha hai!? Arre! Pagal!

Devang engulfed his baby brother in his arms once again, and ruffled his hair. This time Sameer hugged his brother in such a manner that if he lost the touch, then Devang would vanish.

Voice: Papa!

Devang detached himself from Sameer, and turned around. Sameer saw the same little girl in the arms of his brother. She was wearing a baby pink cotton fork which had red flowers all over the fabric, and her hair were tied in two side ponytail. That girl was getting nervous seeing Sameer, and immediately ran to Devang and hugged him.

Devang: Pari! Baby, aap darr kyun rahe ho? Yeh koi stranger nahi hai. Yeh Papa ke brother hai.

Pari looked at her father with her small eyes in astonishment, and after sometime passed a sweet and excited smile to her father.

Pari: Jaise Juhi ke Nishant chachu? Waise?

Devang chuckled and replied: Haan! Bilkul Juhi ke Nishant chachu jaise. Yeh aapke Sameer Chachu hai. Chachu ko hello bolo.

Pari: Mujhe neeche utaro. Mujhe Chachu ko hi bolna hai.

Devang helped her stand and Pari walked to Sameer. She tucked Sameer's trousers and signalled him to bend down. Sameer smiled and kneeled down. Pari gave him a bright smile. And gave a kiss on his cheeks.

Pari: Hello. My name is Pari Patel. Kya aap bhi Juhi ke Nishant chachu jaise mujhe chocolates doge? Aur amusement park leke chaloge?

Sameer chuckled and lifted her up in his arms. And replied: Haan bilkul. Sirf chocolates aur amusement park kyun? Humari Pari jo kahegi, Sameer chachu woh karenge.

Pari: Sacchi!?

Sameer: Muchi! Aap mujhse apni saari wishes share kar sakte ho. Jaise aap apne Papa se karte ho.

Pari: Accha, toh kya aap mere liye meri Mumma la sakte ho? Papa kehte hai ki woh God ke paas hai.

Sameer looked at Devang, who signalled him to explain it later on. Sameer gave a painful smile to Devang and diverted his attention to Pari.

Sameer: Mumma ka toh pata nahi. Par main aapko Mumma jaise pyaar dene wali Chachi zaroor de sakta hun.

Pari furrowed her brows and looked at him in confusion.

Pari: Chachi? Woh kya hota hai? Aur kahan milta hai? Papa apne kabhi laya kyun nahi Chachi.

Devang and Sameer chuckled at Pari's cuteness. Sameer pulled her cheeks and replied.

Sameer: Chachi sirf Chachu la sakte hai. Aapki friend ke Nishant Chachu ke paas Chachi nahi hai?

Pari pouted cutely and sulked: Nahi.

Sameer: Koi baat nahi! Toh kya hua aapki friend ke paas Chachi nahi hai. Humare paas toh hai. Ruko main aapko unki photo dikhata hun.

Pari: Wooowww! Yeh kitni pretty hai ❤ Aur inke hair kitne long aur shiny hai. Pari ko bhi apne hair long rakhne hai. Par Papa manna kar dete hai.

Devang: Papa isliye manna karte hai kyunki Pari apni hair ka acche se care nahi rakh pati. Khana lag jaata hai aapke hair mein aur phir hair kharab ho jaate hai.

Sameer: Koi baat nahi Pari. Aap thode big ho jao, phir long hair rakhna. Aapko tab hair ki acchi care karna aa jayegi. Phir aap apni Chachi jaise long hair rakhna.

Pari: Waise, Chachi ka name kya hai?

Sameer smiled at the thought of his wife, and replied with a hint of redness on his cheeks.

Sameer: Naina.

Pari: Naina......woh hindi ka eyes wala? Prachi miss ne sikhaya tha class mein.

Sameer chuckled and replied: Haan, wohi wala.

Pari: Chachu, kya aap Juhi ke Nishant chachu ki tarah humare saath stay karoge? Yahan main aur Papa hi rehte hai. Aur Papa evening ko aate hai. Main 12'o clock aa jaati hun. So main bore hoti hun Papa ke bina. Par maine dekha hai, Juhi ke Nishant chachu uske saath khelte hai. Aur usko school lene bhi aate hai. Aap aur Chachi aaoge na mere rehne yahan. Main bore nahi hungi phir.

Sameer couldn't get words to answer innocent Pari. He wanted to agree but couldn't say a yes as he didn't know if his brother would approve of it or not. He wanted Pari to meet Naina, Vivek, Jaiprakash, Jaya, and the Agrawal family. But the fear of Devang having a separate family and him not liking Pari being a part of his old family, nagged Sameer.

Devang too had similar thoughts, he was uncertain about Sameer's and his newly wed wife's reaction towards Pari being a part of the family. Plus the reaction of Maheshwari family finding him and Pari at their home was something he wasn't sure of.

Devang cleared his mind and throat and decided to send Pari to her room, so that he can have peaceful conversation with his brother after a very long time.

Devang: Pari, Papa ki jaan, Chachu humare saath rahenge ya nahi usko baad mein discuss karenge. Abhi aap jao aur apna homework finish karo. Kal miss se stars chahiye na?

Pari cutely nodded her hair, and sprinted to her room after giving Sameer a tight hug and soft kisses on his cheeks. Sameer kissed her cheeks and forehead, and ruffled her hair before she hopped inside.

Devang: Bahar garden mein baithke baat kare!?

Sameer: Bilkul! Bahut se sawalon ke jawab chahiye mujhe.

Devang: Sabke jawab milenge tujhe.

Devang asked Pari's governess to finish her work and leave, without disturbing him and Sameer. Devang guided Sameer to the garden and showed me the garden chair on top of which Sameer sat.

Devang: Kuch puchne se pehle main tujhe badhaai dena chahta hun. Shaadi hogayi teri, aur woh bhi itni pyaari ladki ke saath.

Sameer passed a smile to him, and waited for Devang to say something. He knew he should be asking questions to him rather than waiting for Devang to initiate.

Sameer: Waise......pari.......aap......

Devang: Pari meri beti nahi hai woh mere dost ki beti hai. 10 saal pehle Mumbai chodke mein yahan Udaipur aagaya tha. Yahan mujhe mera Bhopal ka dost mil gaya tha. Uske ghar ke paas main rehta tha. Do saal mein Pari unki aur meri zindagi mein aagayi. Pari sirf che mahine ki thi, jab ek shootout mein mera dost aur uski wife maare gaye. Dono police force mein the. Tab se Pari mere saath rehti hai. Pari ke mere paas aur saath rehne se mujhe akelaapan mehsoos hona bandh hogaya.

Sameer: Toh, aap mere aur Naina ke saath wapas Mumbai chalo na Bhaiya! Pari abhi choti hai, usko school shifting mein problem bhi nahi hogi. Aur Mumbai mein humare saath ek family mein reh payegi. Aur aapko bhi akelapan mehsoos nahi hoga aur.

Devang: Sameer! Main wapas nahi aa sakta hun.

Sameer: Par......

Sameer went silent. He suddenly realised that Devang and abruptly left him and family back. And he had come here to ask Devang questions about why did he leave everything and ran away.

Devang: Janta hun, tujhe bahut se sawal puchne hai. Par tu samjh nahi pa raha hai ki kahan se shuru karega. Tujhe bahut kuch batana bhi hoga. Par samjh nahi pa raha hai ki kahan se shuru karega

Sameer: Agar itne hi acche jante ho mujhe, mere mann ke kashmakash ko, toh kyun 10 saal pehle chod ke chale aaye bhaiya? Aapko humara zara sa bhi khayal nahi aaya? Chalo, main, Papa, Dadu aur Bua dadi aapke paraye the. Par Prabha aunty aur Kamlesh uncle, woh toh aapke sage the na. Aur Poonam Bhabhi. Unse aap pyaar karte the na! Aur aissa bilkul nahi tha ki aapko unse pyaar nahi tha. Aapki aankhon mein saaf nazar aata tha ki aap unse kitna pyaar karte the. Unhe bhi chod diya? Aur kyun choda? Kyunki aap darr gaye the baccha sunke? Apni responsibility se bhag gaye! Aapko andaza bhi hai, aapke aa jaane ke baad se Poonam Bhabhi ke saath kya ho raha hai! Unko insaan nahi, janwaar samjha ja raha hai. Roz woh Prabha aunty, Kamlesh uncle aur Vishakha aunty ke haathon torture hoti hai. Aur kuch hi din pehle, aapke Maa Baap unhe bayechne chale the.

Devang: Kya?!

Sameer: Haan bhaiya! Woh toh Ramdhari kaka ko shak hua toh unhone Dadu ko phone kiya. Nahi toh pata nahi Poonam bhabhi kahan aur kis haal mein hoti.

Devang: Par Bua ne waada kiya tha, woh Poonam ko kuch nahi hone dengi. Usko aur pareshaan nahi karengi.

Sameer: Kya? Kounsa waada? Aapko pata tha yeh sab?

Devang: Haan, nahi mera matlab. Pehle nahi pata tha. Baad mein chala.

Sameer: Matlab? Ek sec, aap Prabha aunty, Kamlesh uncle aur Vishakha aunty ke contact mein ho?

Devang: Nahi. 10 saal se meri Mummy Papa se koi baat cheet nahi huyi hai. Bas....kuch hi time pehle Bua se baat karni shuru huyi hai.

Sameer: Aap unse baat karte the, par mujhe contact karne ke baare mein socha tak nahi aapne!?

Devang: Sameer! Bacche......yeh sab bahut complicated. Aur main.....main tujhe sab bataunga. Samjh nahi aa raha shuru kahan se karu.

Sameer: Bhaiya, aap bas itna bolo ki aap toh aisse nahi hai jo apne responsibilities se dur bhage.....toh phir aap kaise Poonam bhabhi aur apne hone wale bacche ko chod ke chale aaye?

Devang: Tujhe lagta hai ki main aissa kuch kar sakta hun?

Sameer: Nahi, par aapne kiya hai na Bhaiya! Raaton raat bina bataye aap apni ek hafte ki shaadi ko chod aaye. Apni 3 mahine pregnant biwi ko chod aaye. Uss biwi ko apne zulmi Maa Baap ke beech chod aaye, jo usse kisi shikar se kam nahi samjhte!

Aapko pata bhi hai, aapke iss harkat ke wajah se kitni raatein Bhabhi soyi nahi, kitne din bhookhe pet unhe apne kamre jaana pada. Aur woh kamra nahi hai, aapke Maa Baap aur pyaari bua ka storeroom hai woh. Choti galti aur uski sazza badi hoti hai. Aissa sulukh kiya hai, ki mujhe darr lagta hai Naina ko ghar par akela chodne se. Kya pata kis din woh teeno trigger ho jaaye, aur meri biwi ko nukshan pahunchaye! Aapke jaane ke wajah se, ya aisse kahun, aapke bhag jaane ke wajah se ab woh ghar mujhe ghar nahi ek jail jaisa lagta hai!

Devang: Bas Sameer! 10 saal pehle, main apni marzi se nahi aaya tha! Main bhaga nahi tha! Mujhe bhagaya gaya tha! Aur mujhe kisi aur ne nahi, balki khud Bua ne bhagaya tha!

Sameer: Bhaiya aap jhooth bhi bolne lage hai? Uss letter mein saaf saaf aur aapki handwriting mein likha tha, aapki aur bhabhi ki shaadi aur aapka aane wala baby aapki galti thi, aur aap iss galti se dur ja rahe hai. Aur abhi aap bol rahe hai ki aapko Vishakha aunty ne aapko bhaga diya!

Devang: Maine koi letter nahi likha tha Sameer! Main kyun apni biwi aur hone wale bacche se naraz hunga? Kyun apni zindagi ke sabse khubsurat insaan ko ek galti bolunga? Kyun apne khoon ko galti bulaunga? Sameer, jab Mussoorie mein maine Poonam ko pehli baar dekha tha, ussi waqt main jaan gaya tha ki iss ladki ke saath mein apni puri zindagi bita sakta hun. Jab Poonam ne mujhe bataya ki woh pregnant hai, maine usse shaadi isliye nahi ki thi kyunki woh pregnant thi aur mera baccha tha uske paas. Maine usse shaadi isliye ki, kyunki mera adha parivar woh thi. Woh aur humara baccha.

Sameer: Bhaiya! Toh phir sach kya hai? 10 saal pehle uss din kya hua tha? Aissa kya hua jo aapko sab kuch chodna pada....

Devang took A deep breath and spoke to himself.

Devang: Ab main iss sach ko zyada din tak chupa nahi sakta. Itne saal iss sach aur isse mile dukh ko dil mein dabaye jee raha hun. Ab Sameer ko bata dena sahi rahega. Mera Sameer itna bada toh hogaya hai ki kuch galat nahi hone dega. Saalon pehle jo himmat aur strength mujhmein nahi thi, woh mere chotu mein hai. Kya pata, hum dono milkar sab kuch sahi kar de.
Haan! Devang! Time aagaya hai, Dev se Devang banne ka!

Devang looked at Sameer and started speaking.

Devang: Sameer, main tujhe shuru se batata hun. Jisse ki tujhe sab kuch saaf aur acche se samjh aa jaye, Sameer bacche, jis din main Poonam ko leke pehli baar check up ke liye gaya tha, Mumbai mein uss din ghar par koi nahi tha. Mera matlab hai ki tu school gaya tha, Dadaji aur Phuphaji office gaye the, aur Mummy Papa shayad se kisi ke party mein gaye the. Mujhe experience nahi tha aur anxiety ho rahi thi, toh maine Bua se pucha ki woh humare saath aaye. Woh mann bhi gayi thi aur humare saath aagayi. Check up ke baad doctor ne bataya tha ki Poonam ki pregnancy thodi risky ho sakti hai. Poonam jab 10th mein thi tab uske uterus mein kuch infection type ka hogaya tha jiske wajah se uske cycles mein irregularities aati thi. Aur issi wajah se uske pregnancy mein thode bahut risk aa sakte the. Par successful pregnancy ka 95% chance tha. Iss baat ka hum dono par asar pada tha.

Sameer: Matlab, aap dono uss din se gumsum aur chup chap isliye the? Kyunki aap apne bacche ko leke pareshaan the, bacche ke wajah se nahi?

Devang: Nahi Sameer! Aur agar tujhe chahiye toh uss doctor ke reports aur prescription ki photo aaj bhi mere paas hai, kahe toh dikha deta hun!

Sameer: Nahi! Zaroorat nahi. Aap aage bataiye.

Devang: Jis din maine Mumbai choda, tu ussi din subah subah match ke liye nikal gaya tha. Isliye tujhe nahi pata ki uss 12 baje ke aas paas, Poonam behosh hogayi thi. Usne galti se apni medicine ki double dose le li thi. Jo uske aur humare baby ke liye risky tha. Maine uss waqt kuch socha nahi tha ki Poonam ne janbujhkar aissa kiya hoga. Par, Bua ne hospital se aane ke baad bataya ki jab se doctor ne risky pregnancy ke baare bataya, Poonam ajeeb behave kar rahi hai. Unhone ek din usse kisi se baat karte suna. Aur woh keh rahi thi ki usse yeh baccha aur main dono nahi chahiye. Kash aissa ho pata ki main unn dono se dur chala jaata. Kyunki uske pregnancy ke wajah se, Poonam ke ghar wale usse accept nahi karenge. Aur woh akeli kahan jayegi. Isliye, usse jabardasti humare bacche aur mere saath rehna padega.

Sameer: Kya!? Bhaiya, aissa bilkul nahi hai! Bhabhi aapse aur aap dono ke bacche se bahut pyaar karti hai! Aaj bhi woh uss dhundhle ultrasound ke snap se baat karti hai. Aapki photo ko seene se lagake soti hai. Unke saath ho rahe har torture ko sehti hai kyunki unhe lagta hai ki unki wajah se aap apne Maa Baap se dur hogaye ho!

Devang: Mujhe pata hai Sameer! Uss waqt Bua ki baatein sunne ke baad, mera dimaag kaam nahi kar raha tha. Main Poonam ke ajeeb behavior ko Bua ki kahi baaton se relate karne laga. Main Poonam se itna zyada pyaar karta hun ki, maine ek minute nahi lagaya uss ghar ko chodne mein jis ghar ne mujhe tujhe diya! Dadaji aur Phuphaji diya! Main Poonam se itna zyada pyaar karta hun ki, mujhe ek minute nahi laga uski khushi aur peaceful life ke liye khud Poonam ko chodne mein. Isliye, raat hote hi, maine bag pack kiya aur wahan se aagaya. Maine yeh socha tha ki mere aa jaane ke baad, Poonam uss bacche ke saath jo karegi, woh justified hoga.

Sameer: Aap ek baar Bhabhi se baat kar lete Bhaiya! Aapki misunderstanding clear ho jaati!

Devang: Iss baat ka pachtawa mujhe 8 saal se hai. Uss din se hai jiss din mujhe sachai ka pata chala!

Sameer: Kaise aur kahan?

Devang: Yahan aane ke baad, aur Pari aur uski family ko dekhke, mera mann hua ki main dur se hi sahi, par Poonam ko aur tum logon ko dekh aaun. Toh main Mumbai gaya tha. Maheshwari Mansion. Mujhe wahan taala laga hua mila. Main wapas aa hi raha tha, jab mujhe andar se kuch tootne ki awaaz aayi. Mujhe laga shayad bandh ghar dekhkar koi chor aagaya hai, so main backdoor se garden mein ghus gaya tha. Mujhe hall mein Bua aur Poonam dikhi, unke saamne ek vase toota hua pada tha, aur mere kuch aur karne ya bolne se pehle, maine dekha Bua ne toote vase ke ek piece ko uthaya, aur saamne khadi Poonam ke haath mein maara. Uske haath se khoon nikalne laga. Mujhe samjh nahi aa raha tha main karun. Kyunki Bua Poonam ke haath ko patti nahi kar rahi thi. Aur mujhe dikh raha tha ki Poonam ko bahut dard kar raha hai. Main yeh sab soch hi raha tha ki Bua mere saamne aagayi.

Maine unse pucha toh unhone sab sach bataya. Kaha ki kaise unhone mujhe yeh kehke ghar se dur bheja ki Poonam ko bacha aur main nahi chahiye. Aur tum sabko yeh dikhaya ki main apni responsiblity se bhag gaya. Aur Poonam ka miscarriage stress ke wajah se nahi. Uske medicine ke high dose ke wajah se hua tha jo Bua ne karaya tha. Unhone Poonam ki medicine change kar di thi. Yeh sab unhone isliye kiya tha kyunki unhe apne Bhai Bhabhi ke sukhi parivaar se problem thi. Unka apna ek parivaar nahi ban paya, isliye woh apne Bhai ke parivaar ko banne nahi degi. Unhe khushi huyi thi jab pehli sabko Poonam ke baare pata chala tha, aur Mummy Papa ko Poonam ka background pasand nahi aaya. Par dheere dheere unhe Poonam acchi lagne lagi. Aur isiliye, Bua ne yeh ganda khel khela. Mummy Papa ko andhere mein rakha, tum sabko bhi, aur mujhe bhi. Maine Bua ko jab kaha ki main sabke saamne aake sab sach bata dunga. Toh unhone mujhe tujhe, Mummy Papa, Dadu, Phuphaji aur Poonam ko jaan se maar dene ki dhamki di.

Main darr gaya, mere liye tum log bahut keemti ho. Uss din se kuch hi din pehle Pari ke Mummy Papa ki death huyi thi. Main uss bacchi ki tarah anath nahi banana chahta tha. Isliye, apne parivaar ki bhalai ke liye apne parivaar se dur hogaya. Ek baar phir.

Sameer: Bhaiya!

Sameer gasped, and seeing his strong brother breakdown into tears, Sameer lost his composure too. He broke down as well, and hugged the life out of his brother.

Flashback over!

Naina: Hey bhagwaan! Itni lambi planning! Aur woh bhi itni ghatiya! Ek Maa se uska baccha aur ek biwi se uska pati chinh liya unhone! Aur woh bhi isliye kyunki unka apna parivaar nahi tha? Kisne kaha? Papaji se shaadi ke baad, aap sab unke parivaar bane the na. Woh unki marzi thi, jo unhone aap sabko apnaya nahi. Aur iska badla unhone......hey bhagwaan!

Sameer: Naina, jab Bhaiya ne yeh sab kaha, toh mujhe hairani nahi huyi. Woh auraat kuch bhi kar sakti hai. Bas, iss baat ka pachtava hai ki unki iss selfish intention ke wajah se Bhaiya ka parivaar toot gaya. Maa Baap dur hogaye, biwi dur hogayi, baccha dur hogaya, ek saath itne saare rishte haar gaye Bhaiya.

Naina: Ab aapko sab pata hai, toh kya hum Devang Bhaiya ko humare saath wapas Mumbai nahi le ja sakte?

Sameer: Maine pucha tha unse. Unhone kuch jawab diya nahi tha. Aur Naina, tum hi socho na, itne saal dur rehne ke baad unki himmat kaise banegi wapas jaane ki. Naraz rishton ko manaane ki. Asaan nahi hoga Naina.

Seeing Sameer's low and lost demeanor, Naina thought of cheering him up. So she went to get a woolen cap and jacket for him, and a jacket and scarf for herself. She carefully put the cap on his head, which drew him out of his reveries.

Sameer: Naina, yeh kya kar rahi ho?

Naina: Woolen cap pehna rahi hun, taaki aapko sardi na lag jaaye.

Sameer: Par yahan bilkul sardi nahi lag rahi hai.

Naina: Haan, par bahar lagegi.

Sameer: Bahar?

Naina: Haan! Hum dono abhi bahar jaa rahe hai. Bike ride pe. Aur iss baar bike mein chalungi. Aur aap peeche baithenge.

Sameer: Tumhe bike chalani aati hai?

Naina: Nahi, par scooty jaisi hogi na. I will manage. Aur mere saath mere Meer hai na. Woh mujhe help kar denge. Karenge na?

Sameer smiled and rubbed his thumbs on her cheek bones, and looked into her eyes. Today definitely was a emotional rollercoaster ride day, but at the end he was happy to know that the most important person of his life, has given him the most special and looked upon position in her life. And the brotherly love which he lost 10 years ago, was back in his life and was innocent.

Naina: Meer! Mera pyaar aur bharosa aap par atoot hai. Mujhe pura bharosa hai ki aap humari bikhri family ko samet lenge. Aur pehle ki jaise kar denge. Aur ab toh do naye members bhi honge family mein. Main aur Pari.

Sameer nodded his head, and pulled her into his arms. He felt peaceful and relaxed. She was peace. She was her relaxation. She was his soothing power. She had the power to change his bad day into a good one, with a small glimpse of her. Earlier when she wasn't aware of his existence, and he had a bad day at work, he would go to either her college or park his car near the balcony of her room. He would wait for hours to get a glimpse of her and then go back home. Then when their alliance was fixed, he would ask Pranati to keep sending Naina's random pictures. As now he would not be able to roam around her as usual. And after marrying her, it could see, touch and hear her without thinking much.

Naina: I love you Meer

Sameer inhaled her intoxicating fragrance and replied: I love you too meri jaan

After staying in each other's embrace for a little longer, both of them wore their jackets, and picking up their mobile phones, headed downstairs to find Abhimanyu and Akshara sitting in the garden and gazing stars in each other's embrace. Samaina at each other, and quietly decided to step out, but Abhira saw them.

Akshara: Naina! Sameer! Kahan ja rahe ho tum dono?

Naina: Bas aisse hi, Udaipur ka ek chakkar marne ki soch rahe hai. Tum dono soye nahi abhi tak?

Abhimanyu: Nahi, actually neend nahi aa rahi thi. Sameer ko leke hum dono tensed the. Par ab inhe dekhkar lag nahi raha ki, hume aur tension lene ki zaroorat hai.

Sameer: Haan woh Naina se baat karli. Aur usne mood thik kar diya.

Naina: Abhi aur bhi accha karna hai. Akshu, Abhimanyu, agar tum dono ko neend nahi aa rahi, toh humare saath chalo.

Akshara: Nahi Naina. Aaj nahi. Aaj tum dono ko time chahiye. Hum chaaron kal chal lenge. Nahi toh kuch din baad Pune ja hi rahe hai. Milna julna hota rahega. Tab nikal lenge....

Akshara and Abhimanyu smiled at Samaina, and went inside. Naina held Sameer's hand, and walked till the bike kept behind the main gate. Naina had Neil to hand over keys to his bike, and asked him to park the bike somewhere where no one can see it.

Naina sat down first, and then signalled Sameer to sit. He was apprehensive about this idea, not because he didn't trust Naina instead he was worried about her. If she loses her balance and he couldn't act repulsively, then both of them could meet with an accident. Which is the last thing that Sameer wanted at that moment. Or at any moment of his life.

Naina understood Sameer's dilemma. She felt overwhelmed with his unconditional love and unfaltering concern. She kept her palm on his arm, and brought him out of his reveries.

Naina: Meer, mujhe pe bharosa rakhiye. Main nahi girungi, aur nahi aapko girne dungi. Itni strong toh hai aapki biwi.

Sameer smiled at her, and replied: Mujhe meri biwi ke strength pe koi doubt nahi hai. Bas, darr hai ki kahin tumhe chot na lag jaaye.....

Naina: Nahi lagegi. Aap bharosa rakho.

Sameer nodded his head, and sat behind Naina. He held her waist softly initially, but later when Naina was on the road, she tightened his grip on her waist.

Naina: Ab toh maine I love you bol diya, aur aapko naya naam bhi de diya hai. Ab toh hichkichahat chod dijiye.

Sameer's heart bounced hearing this. This feeling of satisfaction and completeness was craved by him from a very long time. He had dreamt of holding Naina this close, and getting intoxicated in her natural fragrance. He loved the feel of her warm and soft frame against his strong and muscular arms. He loved the intoxicating and sweet fragrance of his wife. He loved the softness of her long brown hair.

Sameer: I love you very much Sameer ki jaan ❤

Naina: I love you too Meer ❤

Sameer: Hum ja kahan rahe hai?

Naina: Ambrai ghat. Suna hai shaam ke baad bahut sundar hota hai woh jagah.

Sameer: Mere liye saari jagah sundar hai, jab tak tum mere saath ho.

Naina: Ufff! Itni cheesy line....

Sameer: Oh hello! Maine aissi cheesy lines maarke hi tumhe mere pyaar mein daala hai. Bhool maat, inhi cheesy lines ki fan ban gayi ho!

Naina: Kisne kaha? Main aapki cheesy lines ki nahi balki aapki fan hun. Mujhe aapse pyaar hua hai, aapki cheesy lines se nahi.
