FATE TWISTED BY LOVE
CHAPTER 21
Naina was so lost in his song that she didn't even realize that Preeti was calling her out continuously. Preeti had to literally hit her on her shoulder to come out of that beautiful trance. She almost shouted, "Kya hai Preeti? Maar kyun rahi hai mujhe? Kya hua hai?" Preeti glared at her, "Main tujhe kab se aawaaz lagaa rahi hun aur tu pataa nahi kahaan khoyi hai."
The announcement saved Naina from replying & everyone's attention was back on stage. How could she tell her best friend that she was lost in her husband's beautiful voice, that she had reached some other world? She was mesmerized hearing him sing that particular song. It has always been her favorite & close to her heart. Whenever she had heard that song, she used to imagine that someday her better half would sing this for her & today, that wish had come true. Was her destiny giving her some signs???
Kabir loud voice interrupted her thoughts, "Results mere haath mein... Mr & Miss Fresher kaun banega... Any guesses???" The crowd kept screaming loudly for a while & he continued, "Acccha bas...bas... Aap sab ek saath aise chillaayenge toh mujhe kaise kuch samaj aayega? So, let's first start with Mr Fresher..."
"Mr Fresher wohh bane hai jisne itna acchi standup comedy ki, ki sab ka hass hass kar pet dukhne lagaa..." The crowd screamed a name & Kabir announced, "Yess... you have guessed it right... Iss saal ke Mr Fresher bante hai, Mr Ahaan Mehra..." The winner came up on stage & was congratulated by the chief guests.
When Kabir asked who would be Miss Fresher for the year, there was only one name that the whole crowd of students shouted while Kabir looked at her with a smile. Sameer too looked at his gorgeous wife with a proud smile. Without waiting anymore, Kabir announced, "Yesss... You all have guessed it right. The Miss Fresher title for this year goes to Miss Naina Agarwal..."
Naina hadn't expected this & was too stunned to hear her name being announced as the winner. Before she could even react, Preeti had crushed her in a hug & then pushed her towards the stage. Naina walked up on stage in a trance, unable to believe that she had won the Miss Freshers title.
Ahaan & Naina were presented the winner's certificate by their college principal, Mrs Savitri Ganatra & Mr Pankaj Pradhan put the sash of Mr Fresher & Miss Fresher on them. When Sameer came to present the trophy to them, he deliberately stood between them & clicked some pictures. He was really very proud & happy for Naina.
Naina too was very much happy that she had won this unexpectedly. Her happiness increased manifolds when she saw her stunning husband standing next to her & giving her the most charming smile. When she got off the stage, many students came to her to congratulate her.
There was on final announcement, "Lets hit the dance floor & enjoy the party guys..." The DJ played the groovy songs & the students were welcomed on the dance floor. Naina moved away with Preeti to a corner while Shreya joined her other friends in dancing. Though she couldn't dance, yet managed to jump amongst her friends. After a while, Kabir & Sameer too joined Naina & Preeti.
Kabir congratulated Naina & she thanked him politely. Sameer stood right next to her, "Congratulations Naina... Tumne sach mooch bohot accha dance kiya." Shifting a little closer to her, he whispered, "Waise mujhe pataa nahi tha ki meri biwi itna accha dance karti hai." She blushed unknowingly & looked around to see her best friend already looking at her with a mischievous smile.
Kabir who was standing beside his sister had seen their comfortable camaraderie. He thought, "Lagta hai Sameer aur Naina bohot acche dost bann gaye hai. Agar mujhe Naina ko acche se jaanna hai toh mujhe Sameer ki help leni padegi. Main aaj hi Sameer se baat karta hun, ab wohi meri help kar sakta hai."
On the other side, Preeti thought, "Sameer aur Naina ke beech jo bhi hai wohh dosti toh nahi hai, usse kuch jyada hi hai. Naina toh aaj tak Bhai ke saath bhi thik se baat nahi karti, par Sameer ke saath ekdum alag hi ho jaati hai, jaise ki wohh uska koi apna ho. Kuch hai, jo mujhe jald hi pataa lagaana hoga. Ek baar mujhe pataa chal jaaye toh main Bhai ko bataa sakti hun ki Naina ke baare mein uss tarah se naa soche. Main nahi chaahti ki meri best friend ki wajah se mere Bhai ka dil dukhe."
Preeti looked at her brother to see him smiling who was already looking at Sameer & Naina, & she thought, "Lagta hai Bhai ko bhi wohi nazar aa raha hai, jo main dekh rahi hun." After few minutes, Shreya joined them back, almost panting for air. "Yaar... Waise toh mujhe Naina jaise accha dance karna nahi aata, par aaj inn sabke saath aise paagalon jaise naachne ka mazaa hi aa gaya."
Preeti laughed, "Tu jo ab kuch der pehle kar rahi thi, wohh dance tha???" Others controlled their laughter while Shreya glared at her school friend. "Tu itna bhi kar le toh bohot hai Preeti." She instantly replied, "Mujhe teri tarah paagal nahi dikhna. Aur agar mujhe dance sikhna hi hoga na toh main Naina se seekh lungi. Kyun Naina? Mujhe dance karna sikhaayegi na???"
Naina replied happily, "Yeh bhi koi poochne ki baat hai? Main tujhe dance karna zaroor sikhaungi aur dekhna, ek din tu mujhse bhi accha dance karegi." Preeti side hugged her, "Thank you behna... Tujhse accha kar paaungi yaa nahi, wohh toh mujhe pataa nahi, bas dance seekh jaaun, wohi bohot hai."
While Sameer & Kabir were happy seeing the growing friendship between the two, Shreya wasn't happy about it. She deliberately tried to stand close to Sameer while he moved towards his wife, seeking her warmth. "Arey agar abhi tumhe dance seekhna hai toh bataa do, main thoda toh seekha hi sakta hun.", came a familiar voice from behind.
They turned to find Pandit & Munna standing there with huge smiles plastered on their faces. Sameer asked instantly, "Tum dono yahaan kya kar rahe ho, Nanu thik hai na???" Naina too joined, "Sab thik hai na ghar pe, tum dono Nanaji ko akela kyun chod aaye???" The duo smiled & moved away to show them the reason for their arrival here.
A girl dressed up in a saree came into their vision & Sameer exclaimed, "Tum... Aise achaanak... yahaan kaise???" She came ahead & hugged him suddenly making Naina gasp. Who was she? And what did she think of herself??? How could she hug her husband in front of everyone like this??? Naina's mind let out her frustration in her thoughts with several questions added with a few curses too...
Naina's anger rose when she saw Sameer smiling at the new intruder. The others looked on with lots of interest & curiosity. The girl left Sameer & turned to Kabir, "Maine socha nahi tha ki aaj tumse bhi mulaakat ho jaayegi Kabir." She hugged him too while Preeti glared at her, not understanding what was going on. Naina too wondered, why was this girl hugging both the friends?
Munna & Pandit came ahead & joined the group. They saw their Bhabhi glaring at their best friend & knew the reason too. The girl looked at the others & smiled whereas no one reciprocated her smile. Sameer held the girl by her shoulder which infuriated his wife some more & he spoke, "Inse milo... yeh hai Anjali Mehta... Munna ki honewaali biwi aur meri mooh boli behen."
Naina was instantly relieved & happy to know about her identity now & felt a wave of guilt flash through her. What was she even thinking? She shouldn't have doubted Sameer & have such horrendous thoughts about the girl. Her husband saw through her expressions & smiled knowingly, understanding what she must have assumed.
Sameer made the introductions, "Yeh hai Preeti Sehgal, Kabir ki behen, jisse tum shaayad kabhi nahi mili." Anjali smiled & hugged her, "College mein bohot suna tha tumhare baare mein Kabir se, par kabhi milne ka mauka nahi mila." Preeti hugged her back, "I hope Bhai ne meri kuch jyada hi taarif na ki ho?", she said looking at her brother who laughed, "Haan... haannn... main bohot taarif karta tha na tab???"
Sameer, Munna, Pandit & Anjali laughed out loudly whereas Preeti hit her brother on his shoulder, "Aapne inhe hamari sab ladaaiyon ke baare mein bataaya hoga na aur kahaa hoga ki meri behen hamesha mujhse ladti rehti hai, hai na Bhai???" Kabir just shrugged, "Haannn... shaayad aisa hi kuch bataaya tha maine. Abhi thik se yaad nahi aa raha."
Preeti huffed in anger while Naina chuckled seeing her cute angry face. "Preeti... Kabir ne sach mein sirf taarif hi ki thi, kehta tha ki Preeti jaisi koi behen ho hi nahi sakti, jo uska itna khayaal rakhti ho aur sab nakhre jhelti ho. Sachhi... Chaaho toh sabko pooch lo, sab yahi kahenge..."
Munna & Sameer nodded while Pandit didn't react. She looked at him & took steps towards him, "Tum hi batao, kya Anjali sach keh rahi hai?" Pandit still didn't reply & kept staring at her angel who was looking stunning in the black gown. Sameer coughed loudly breaking his best friend's trance which made everyone chuckle including Kabir, who had understood till now that his friend was interested in his pretty sister...
Preeti knew that he was lost in her & was somehow feeling guilty for the way she had behaved with him in the food court in the mall last time. Pandit lowered his eyes once & then met her eyes head on, "Anjali sahi keh rahi hai... Kabir ne toh hamesha tumhari taarif hi ki hai. Haan... bas kabhi kabhi kehta ki kaise tum usse tang karti thi aur hume yeh sunkar bohot mazaa aata. Waise usne yeh nahi bataaya ki uski behen itni khoobsurat dikhti hai...", he whispered the last line so softly that no one heard it except Preeti.
Preeti blushed a little, believing his words, she turned to look at Anjali, "Waise Munna ki fiancé... not bad... Mujhe sab kuch jaanna hai ki tum dono ki love story kaise shuru hui... Haaayee... college romance, kitna accha hota hai??? How romantic???" Kabir hit her shoulder, "Apne khayaali pulao banana band kar behen... Fir kabhi sunn lena unki love story." She glared at him & stood beside Naina.
Sameer then introduced Shreya & then met his wife's gaze. "Aur yeh hai..." Anjali stopped him midsentence & carried on, "Let me guess... Yeh hai Naina Agarwal..." Naina was in total shock hearing her words. Did she already know about their marriage? What if she blurts it out in front of everyone here? She met her husband's gaze in fear & he blinked his eyes, assuring her to be calm.
Anjali hugged her too & whispered, "Don't worry Naina... Main sab jaanti hun aur tumhe mujhse darne ki zarurat nahi hai. Your secret is safe with me..." Naina sighed in relief & hugged her back. "Tumse milkar accha laga Anjali..." She turned to Munna & teased, "Tumne kabhi bataaya hi nahi, ki tum pehle se engaged ho. Itni khoobsurat fiancé ko ab tak kyun chupaa ke rakkha?" He blushed & mumbled, "Anjali apni studies ke liye abroad gayi thi, isliye nahi bataaya, socha ek baar Anjali waapis aa jaaye toh main tumhe bataa dunga."
Being left out of the conversation, Shreya commented, "Tumhe iss saree mein dekhkar lagta nahi ki tum abroad padhkar waapis aayi ho?" This time before Anjali or anyone could say anything, Naina spoke, "Shreya... Kapdon se kisi ko judge nahi karna chahiye. Uske dil aur swabhaav se logon ko parakhna chahiye... Sabki apni apni choice hoti hai, aur unhe sirf unke kapdon ki wajah se taane maarna sahi nahi hai. Waise tum toh roz short dresses aur skirts pehenti ho, iska yeh matlab toh nahi na ki tum foreigner ho, kyun sahi keh rahi hun na Shreya??? Waise tumhe samaj nahi aayega, Anjali bhale hi abroad gayi thi apne studies ke liye, par usne apna culture nahi peeche choda, wohh usse saath lekar chal rahi hai..."
Naina deliberately said that to make her understand that it wasn't good to judge someone on the basis of their clothes. And if Shreya thought that way, then she should see her own reflection first before commenting on other's dressing sense. She still remembered the way she had said earlier about wanting to dress up for Sameer. And now that resurfaced in her heart & she allowed herself to speak her mind.
Anjali didn't want to drag this discussion anymore, so she diverted everyone's attention, "Naina... Waise maanna padega. Aaj iss party mein sabse jyada sundar tum hi lag rahi ho aur yeh black saree bohot kamaal lag rahi hai tum par." Naina blushed & before she could say something, Shreya again spoke aloud, "Saree acchi hi hogi, aakhir Sameer bhi toh saath tha, jab saree lene gaye the mall mein. Kyun Naina???" The others were stunned to know that Naina & Sameer had been gone for her saree shopping together.
Sameer took the lead here, "Haannn Shreya... Main aur Naina saath hi gaye the saree lene, par yeh black wali saree Naina ne hi choose ki thi, main toh sirf usse company de raha tha. Aur agar sach kahun toh mujhe yakin hai ki jo bhi saree Naina select karti, usse pehenne ke baad acchi hi dikhti Naina par. Ab jab Naina khud itni sundar hai, toh agar wohh koi bhi simple saree bhi pehenti na toh bohot sundar hi dikhti. Jitna uska dil saaf aur sundar hai na, utna hi wohh baahar se khoobsurat hai. Dusron ki tarah usse jyada showoff karna nahi aata, jitna uske paas hai utne mein khush rehti hai. Aur aaj jo Naina ne Miss Freshers ke title jeeta hai, wohh bhi ussi ki mehnat ka natijaa hai. Shayad tumhe aur sabko yeh pataa nahi hoga ki Naina ne koi bhi practice nahi ki thi, usne directly stage par dance kiya tha. So, do you now understand Shreya that its about your clothes that brings out the real you. If your soul, heart & behavior is good, then your personality will automatically come out gracefully & for that you don't need to judge people with their looks & outfits."
As Sameer finished, Naina's eyes misted automatically & she so desperately wanted to hug him & thank him for standing by her & supporting her. Everyone present there couldn't believe that the Sameer Maheshwari was finally taking a stand for a girl, his girl... While Munna, Pandit & Anjali were happy seeing him defending his wife, Preeti was now sure about something going on between them. Kabir wasn't sure what to think about all this, as Sameer had never ever done this before for any girl.
Shreya was tongue-tied as she didn't have words to reply back to him. She had wanted to distract Sameer who was focusing too much on Naina, which she wasn't liking at all. She wanted Sameer's attention on her but he hardly glanced at her & was concentrating on Naina & Preeti, which had irked her & then this Anjali girl comes & steals the show.
Shreya wanted to show Sameer that she looked incredible in her red short dress but to her dismay, Sameer & even Kabir neither looked at her nor complimented her. Then Anjali came into the picture wearing a light green saree which diverted the guy's attention again & no one spared a glance at her, which was like an insult to her. No guy had ever ignored or avoided her but here, all did, even her school friend, Preeti.
Shreya glared at Naina & walked away, feeling insulted. Preeti was the one to react first, "Wowww... Sameer... that was awesome... Matlab... aaj tak kisine Shreya se aise baat nahi ki hogi. Khud ko sabse jyada khoobsurat samajti hai, isliye yahaan jab hum Naina aur Anjali ki taarif kar rahe the, toh usse accha nahi lagaa hoga."
Kabir couldn't control his frustration & muttered, "Agar main uska bhai hota toh ab tak ek kass kar thappad lagaa lagaa chuka hota. Kaisa behave kar rahi thi wohh aur jab se dekho kapdon par sui atki hai uski. Khudke kapde dekhe hai kya usne, aayi badi dusron ke kapdon par ungli uthaane waali."
"Arey chodo na, hum hamara mood kyun kharaab kar rahe hai. Dekho... kitne acche acche gaane baj rahe hai, hume bhi dance karna chahiye. Kitna time ho gaya hai, aise enjoy kiye hue.", Anjali spoke making the others smile. She looked at Munna & raised her eyebrows, gesturing towards the dance floor.
Kabir got an important call & he left the hall to attend it. Preeti peeped at Pandit, "Tum keh rahe the na ki tum mujhe abhi dance sikha sakte ho, toh kya wohh offer ab bhi hai kya???" Pandit couldn't believe his ears. Here, he was making plans in his mind to ask her for dance & now she had asked for it herself. He nodded & both of them walked to the dance floor.
It was only Sameer & Naina who were standing there in the corner looking at the other people or rather couples dancing on the floor. After a couple of minutes, Sameer spoke hesitantly, "Waise mujhe itna accha dance toh aata nahi, par main promise karta hun ki itna bhi bura nahi karunga ki tumse match na kar paaun."
Naina smiled in response & he forwarded his hand, "Toh chalein, Mrs Maheshwari..." Her eyes went wide when he called her by that name. She nervously kept her hand in his & walked to the dance floor. The moment they reached; another slow song started & Sameer pulled her close to him, wrapping his one hand around her waist while the other held her hand.
Do dil mil rahe hain, magar chupke chupke...
Sabko ho rahi hai...
Haannn sabko ho rahi hai, khabar chupke chukpe...
Do dil mil rahe hain, magar chupke chupke...
Saanson mein badi bekaraari, aankhon mein ki rat jage...
Kabhi kahin lag jaaye dil toh, kahin fir dil naa lage...
Apna dil main zara tham lun, jaadu ka main isse naam dun...
Jaadu kar raha hai...
Jaadu kar raha hai, asar chupke chupke...
Do dil mil rahe hain, magar chupke chupke...
Aise bhole bankar hai baithe, jaise koi baat nahin...
Sab kuch nazar aa raha hai, din hai yeh raat nahin...
Kya hai kuch bhi nahi hai agar, hothon peh hai khaamoshi magar...
Baate kar rahi hai...
Baate kar rahi hai, nazar chupke chupke...
Do dil mil rahe hain, magar chupke chupke...
Kahin aag lagne se pehle, uthta hai aisa dhuaan...
Jaisa hai idhar ka nazaara, waisa hi udhar ka samaa...
Dil mein kaisi kasak si jagi, dono jaanib baraabar lagi...
Dekho toh idhar se...
Dekho toh idhar se, udhar chupke chupke...
Sabko ho rahi hai...
Haannn sabko ho rahi hai, khabar chupke chukpe...
Do dil mil rahe hain, magar chupke chupke...
Magar chupke chupke...
Magar chupke chupke...
Uhmmmm... chupke chupke...
Munna & Anjali were lost in each other totally enjoying each other's company while Preeti & Pandit were dancing slowly as getting acquainted with each other's touch for the first time. Preeti wasn't naïve that she couldn't understand what Pandit was feeling for her. The truth be told, even she had liked to stay around him but she wasn't sure of whether she should follow her heart & take a step towards him but today, when she had seen the way he had looked at her & heard his words, she couldn't deny the attraction she felt for him. She had never been interested in anyone till now, but when she had met him for the first time, she knew that there was something pulling her to him & she had cleverly targeted him saying that she would break his bones... She was trying to stay away from the alien feelings that had developed in her heart for him & she had managed to keep that façade till now. But today, she gave in to her heart & feelings & took the lead, following her heart.
On the other side, Naina & Sameer were lost in their own sweet bubble. They had forgotten that they were surrounded by so many people here. Both of them danced to the song, feeling & living its words. They swayed to the song together in such a way, that anyone could tell that they are in love... their eyes locked on each other, their feet moving with the beats, her hands locked around his neck while his hands wrapped around her waist. The twirls & the sudden lifts they did, halted the others dancing around them, who stood mesmerized to see them dancing from their hearts. At the end when he twirled her & then she was back in his arms, his hands touched her bare back & both shivered with the sudden contact.
The loud applauses brought them back to the reality & they looked around to see that everyone stood surrounding them & were clapping for their wonderful dance performance. Both of them shied away & left each other. While walking back to their group, Shreya deliberately spilled her drink on Naina's saree & without even apologizing, she sauntered away...
Sameer had almost turned to give a piece of his mind to that selfish girl but Naina held his hand & stopped, "Rehne dijiye Sameer... Main abhi saaf karke aati hun..." Others had seen the scene from afar & had cursed aloud at Shreya who was acting like a jealous bitch today. Anjali & Preeti wanted to accompany Naina at the green room but she denied them saying, she will be back in few minutes.
There was an announcement that the party had ended & the students were told to vacate the hall. Sameer & Kabir stood together discussing about the progress done in café's renovations while Munna, Anjali, Pandit & Preeti stood a little away talking about mundane things. Munna came back & said, "Ummm... Hum baahar ice-creams khaane jaa rahe hai, Anjali ka badaa mann kar raha hai khaane ka." Sameer & Kabir chuckled & the others went away to enjoy the ice-creams.
Mustering some courage, Kabir asked hesitantly, "Ummm... Sameer... mujhe tujhse thodi help chahiye thi." Sameer was surprised at his sudden hesitance but still asked, "Kabir... tu kab se aise hichkichaane laga... Bol kya help chahiye hai mere friend ko, kahin café ke renovations mein koi problem toh nahi hai na?"
Kabir denied, "Nahi yaar... Café ke renovations toh thik se hi chal rahe hai, usme koi problem nahi hai. Wohh... wohhh... thodi personal help chahiye thi..." Sameer replied, "Bol na Kabir, aisi kya baat hai ki tu itna hichkichaa rahaa hai." Kabir swallowed & closed his eyes for a moment.
Kabir met his friend's gaze & spoke, "Wohhh... Mujhe ek ladki pasand aane lagi hai, par wohh na mujhe thik se dekhti hai aur na mujhse thik se baat karti hai. Aise mein main kya karun mujhe kuch samaj nahi aa raha? Sirf tu hi hai jo meri help kar sakta hai Sameer."
Sameer wasn't liking this topic at all as he was aware of his friend's interest in the girl & that girl was his wife. What could Sameer say? When he didn't say anything, Kabir continued, "Sameer... ummm... who ladki koi aur nahi, balki Naina hai..." Sameer fisted his hands in anger but yet controlled himself from bursting out at his friend.
Unknown to Sameer's rage, Kabir continued, "Jab se pehli baar Naina ko maine dekha, tab se hi mujhe wohhh bohot acchi lagne lagi hai Sameer... Pehle mujhe lagaa ki wohh sab se hi sharmaati hai, par fir maine dekha kaise wohh tujhse, Munna aur Pandit se acche se baat karti hai, bas mujhse hi thik se baat nahi karti."
"Jab Nanu ne kahaa ki tumhare ghar har Sunday dinner ke liye aana hai, toh main khush tha ki at least mujhe Naina se milne aur baat karne ka mauka milega. Par fir bhi Naina mujhse baat nahi karti. Aur jab hum saath kaam karne jaa rahe hai tab bhi meri jyada help nahi leti. Sab kuch khud hi kar leti hai."
Kabir closed his eyes again, "Sameer... mere yaar... tujhe aur Naina ko dekhkar lagta hai ki tum dono bohot acche dost ban gaye ho aur itna comfortable rehti hai Naina tere saath. Tu jaanta hai na ki maine aaj tak kisi bhi ladki ke liye aisa feel nahi kiya. Aur haann... main Naina ke saath time-pass bilkul nahi kar raha. Please bhai... meri help kar de... Mujhe Naina ko kareeb se jaanna hai, usse samajna hai, usse dosti karni hai aur fir ussi se shaadi bhi karni hai..."
That was all Sameer could take. He grabbed his friend's collar & yelled loudly, "Teri himmat kaise hui, Naina ke baare mein aisi baatein karne ki? Tu jaanta bhi hai kya bakwaas kar raha hai tu? Jo mooh mein aaya wohh bole jaa raha hai. Teri akkal kahin ghaas charne gayi hai kya???"
Kabir couldn't understand what had happened to Sameer so suddenly, "Sameer... tu aise kyun react kar raha hai? Pehle yeh collar chod, shaanti se baat karte hai." When Sameer still didn't leave his collar, Kabir shouted, "Bhai... Bataa toh sahi kya hua hai? Itna kyun gussa kar raha hai? Maine kya galat kahaa, jisse tujhe itna bhadak raha hai? Main tera college ka dost hun, kya tu meri itni help nahi kar sakta?"
Sameer's blood boiled again & he was about to punch him, when Pandit held his hand, "Sameer... Kya kar raha hai? Chod usse... Paagal ho gaya hai kya???" Munna added, "Sameer... Kabir hamara accha dost hai aur aisa kya hua ki tu iska collar pakadkar usse maarne jaa raha tha?"
Sameer left his collar but still stood close to him, giving him deadly glares as if he was ready to kill him, if he said anything more. Kabir started, "Yaar Munna... maine sirf Sameer se help maangi aur yeh aisa behave kar raha hai mujhse. Mujhe yehi samaj nahi aa raha ki maine aisa kya galat keh diya ki yeh itna laal pila ho raha hai?"
Pandit asked, "Kya help chahiye thi tujhe Kabir?" Sameer shouted again, "Agar ek bhi shabd nikaala na mooh se Kabir tune, toh main bhool jaaunga ki tu mera dost hai." Kabir unheard his threat & continued, "Maine Sameer se sirf itna kahaa ki mujhe Naina pasand hai aur mujhe help kare taaki main Naina ka uski tarah accha dost bann saku aur fir usse shaadi kar sakun. Ab isme itna bhadakne ki kya baat thi???"
Pandit, Munna & Anjali looked at each other & them before anyone knew, Sameer had punched Kabir straight on his jaw. The unexpected blow on Kabir's face made him stumble & he fell down on the ground. Before Sameer could hit him again, Munna caught hold of him & Pandit helped Kabir to get up.
"Paagal ho gaya hai kya Sameer??? Tune... tune mujhe maara... wohh bhi Naina ke liye... Bas yahi hai teri dosti Sameer??? Main sacche mann se usse pasand karta hun aur shaadi karna chaahta hun, uss mein kya galat hai huhhh???", Kabir yelled back.
Sameer struggled in Munna's tight hold & shouted back, anger taking over all his senses, "Galat yeh hai Kabir ki tu Naina se shaadi karna chaahta hai...Galat yeh hai ki tune mujhse yeh sab kahaa... Tu kabhi bhi Naina se shaadi nahi kar sakta Kabir... yeh baat gaath bandh le Kabir ki tu kabhi apni zindagi mein Naina se shaadi nahi kar paayega..."
"Kyun??? Kyun nahi kar sakta main Naina se shaadi? Huhh... Bataa... Mujhe ek reasan de de jisse main teri baat maan lun. Bol... bol kyun main Naina se shaadi nahi kar sakta???" Sameer screamed breaking all the barriers to his anger, "Kyunki Naina meri biwi hai Mr Kabir Sehgal... She is my wife... She is Mrs Naina Sameer Maheshwari... do you hear it Kabir??? She is my wife aur kabse tu yeh faltu ki bakwaas kiye jaa raha hai mere saamne... Bas ab iske aage tune ek baar bhi bola na ki tujhe Naina se shaadi karni hai toh main bhool jaaunga ki hum kabhi dost bhi the. Samaj gaya tu yaa aur koi reason chahiye tujhe ab bhi???"
Pandit & Munna pulled Sameer away from there whereas Kabir sat down on the ground, unable to believe his friend's words. Anjali walked away with Munna, Pandit & Sameer. On the other side, Naina hadn't come back yet, so Preeti went to the green room to see what was taking her so long. After having ice-creams with Anjali, Munna & Pandit, she walked straight to the green room on not spotting Naina with Sameer & Kabir. From a distance, she couldn't make out that Sameer had held her brother's collar.
She entered the green room to see that her friend had undid her saree & was wrapping her saree again. Preeti walked in softly & asked, "Main kuch help kar dun???" Naina turned to her swiftly almost in shock, "Aisa achanak se kaun daraata hai Preeti??? Main kitna darr gayi pataa hai kya? Mujhe almost heart attack hi aa jaata."
Preeti laughed at her best friend's over exaggeration & replied, "Kuch bhi huhhh? Aisa kuch nahi hota. Waise mujhe na Shreya ka behavior accha nahi lagaa. Mann kar raha hai ki kal jab saamne aayegi na tab main uska mooh hi tod dun. Tu dekhna kal main aisa hi karungi, chodungi nahi usse."
Naina laughed, "Par tu kal kaise mooh todegi uska, kal toh Sunday hai aur college bhi nahi hai." Preeti hit her forehead & said, "Haannn... Main toh bhool hi gayi ki kal Sunday hai... Koi nahi, main meri mann ki iccha Monday ko poori kar lungi..." Both of them laughed & then Preeti caught sight of something in Naina's neck.
Without making any noise, Preeti went close to her & turned her best friend. Naina didn't understand what had happened but the shocked expression on her best friend's face rang a warning alarm in her mind & she dragged her gaze to the place where Preeti was staring.
Naina stiffened & then met her friend's questioning gaze, "Naina... yeh... yeh tohh... yeh tohh... Mangalsutra jaisa kuch lag raha hai." Before Naina could stop her or react, Preeti pulled out her nuptial chain & was shocked. She screamed, "Yeh... yeh... toh mangalsutra hi hai Naina... Par yeh tere gale mein kaise???"
Naina's eyes misted immediately while Preeti looked at her hair parting closely to find a small red mark in her hairline that she always used to hide from everyone's direct vision. Preeti didn't feel the need to ask anymore as everything was crystal clear now. Naina was by now crying.
Preeti took two steps behind & asked, "Kya Sameer tera husband hai Naina???" That was the only thing she wanted to hear from her friend, though she knew the answer, still she wanted to hear it from her best friend. Naina couldn't speak, she had lost her voice totally. She just nodded & agreed to Preeti.
Preeti didn't say anything more & ran out of the green room, out of the college & saw Kabir already sitting in the car. She opened the door & sat beside him, leaving the college premises but still holding on to her tears. She didn't want to speak to her brother for now. In her pain, she couldn't see that his brother too was going through a heartache after hearing the truth that too from his best friend.
When Sameer's anger calmed down, he asked Munna & Pandit to drop Anjali home & he would go home with Naina. Though his best friends wanted to be around but understood that he wanted to be left alone with his wife for now. Once they were gone, he saw, Preeti coming out of the college & running towards her brother's car.
Without waiting for even a second, he hurried towards the green room to see the disheveled state of his wife. This wasn't what he had expected at all. He ran inside & took her in her embrace, "Kya hua Naina??? Tum... tum aise ro kyun rahi ho??? Kisine kuch waapis kuch kiya kya??? Wohh Shreya ne waapis kuch kahaa yaa kiya toh nahi? Main usse chodunga nahi..."
Naina met his gaze which reflected her own pain. Sameer coaxed her to speak but she didn't, instead what happened next was never expected to happen in this way, in the college's green room.
Sameer wiped her tears, "Tum sirf meri ho Naina aur main kisi aur ko tumhe mujhse chinne nahi dunga... Kahin nahi jaane dunga tumhe..." Saying that, he kissed her forehead, then her eyes. This time he didn't stop & kissed her cheeks one by one & then pecked her cute nose too...
Naina waited when she felt his breath too close to her lips. Her lips parted in anticipation & he finally kissed her lips slowly & softly, which was soothing each other's pain. She moved closer to him & Sameer held her tightly crushing her in his strong arms.
That day, not only their marriage was revealed in front of their friends but also, they had taken a first step towards each other accepting their fate...

FATE TWISTED BY LOVE
CHAPTER 22
Sameer continued kissing her softly until they were totally breathless. The moment he came up for air, he saw her face & was dumbstruck seeing her messy state, her swollen lips, her dazed eyes, her messed up hair & then his eyes landed on her nuptial chain which was visible to him now & then his eyes automatically moved to her hair to see the small mark of vermillion in the partition...
He stared at her for a while, not knowing what to say. The intensity of his darkening gaze made Naina hid her face in his chest while Sameer kept her close, holding her tightly in the cocoon of his arms. Once they calmed down, he whispered, "Naina... Tum thik ho???" She hummed in reply, still not over whatever happened in the last few minutes...
Naina was so happy that the freshers party had given her a chance to spend it close to her best friend & especially her husband. These few hours were very special for her. But at the end, everything went wrong with Preeti. She always wanted to tell her best friend about her marriage but Sameer's conditions would stop her from revealing the truth. She knew, whatever happened tonight wasn't something that Preeti would forgive so easily.
Sameer loosened his hold & moved a little away, only to see that her saree was undone. He stared at her for a few seconds & mumbled, "Naina... Ummm... Tum thik se saree pehen lo." Saying that, he turned around, knowing fully well that she won't be comfortable with his presence in the room in this state. When he had entered the room, he had run to her seeing her in tears but he didn't see in which state she was standing there with her undone saree.
Sameer had taken a step ahead to give her privacy to wear the saree, when he heard her soft voice, "Sameer... please... yahin ruk jaaiye... main... main bas do minute mein saree pehen leti hun." She wore the saree as fast as she could & was ready soon. She kept her hand on his shoulder & he turned to see her misty eyes again. He gathered her in his arms again & rubbed her back, "Kya hua hai Naina??? Please mujhe kuch toh batao..."
Unable to stop her tears, she mumbled, totally avoiding his question, "Hume ghar jaana chahiye Sameer... Bohot late ho gaya hai. Nanaji bhi ghar par akele hain." Sameer understood that something drastic had happened with his wife. He had already coaxed her a lot asking about the reason for her sudden tears but she hadn't replied. He thought of probing her, once they would be home.
He held her face in his large palms & wiped her tears. "Hum ghar tabhi jaayenge, jab tumhare yeh bade bade aansoon ruk jaayenge. Agar Nanu jaag rahe honge, jo ki mujhe poora yakin hai ki wohh hamara intezaar kar rahe honge, tumhe aise dekhkar unhe accha nahi lagega aur wohh mujhe hi chillayenge, kahenge ki maine tumhara thik se dhyaan nahi rakha hoga. Toh agar tum nahi chaahti ki Nanu mujhe daant lagaaye, toh pehle yeh rona band karo, uske baad hi hum ghar jaayenge."
Naina nodded & walked to the wash basin which was at the corner of the green room to wash her face. She re-applied a little make-up so that Nanaji won't be able to see her tear-stained face. Sameer kept staring at her beautiful cute wife with a smile. He knew that she was doing all this to not let Nanu know that she had cried. He smiled even more, when he thought of his Nanu who would still guess that something had happened tonight, that too, only by looking at her eyes.
When she was done, she turned to him & asked, "Ab thik lag rahi hun..." He walked to her slowly & held her by her shoulders, "Tum kitna bhi kar lo Naina... yeh toh tum bhi jaanti ho ki tumhare iss make-up lagaane se tumhari yeh laal suji hui aankhen aur yeh tumhari laal tamatar jaisi naak, nahi chupa paaogi tum. Tumhe bas ek baar dekhkar hi Nanu sab samaj jaayenge ki kuch toh hua hai party mein."
She lowered her eyes & he continued, "Tumhara naam tumhare parents ne sahi hi rakha hai, 'Naina...', kyunki tumhari yeh aankhen hi sab sach bataa deti hai. Tumhari aankhen hi tumhari dil ki parchayii hai..." He kissed her eyes again & murmured, "Ab baaki ki baatein ghar chalkar karenge. Tum bas tab tak thodi si smile kar do, toh tumhara chehra thoda sa hi sahi lekin khil jaayega. Aur agar smile nahi karogi toh main wohi karunga jo thodi der pehle kiya tha..."
Naina met his darkening gaze once again just for a few seconds & lowered her eyes instantly, the color spreading on her cheeks quickly. Sameer was happy finally seeing her blush, reminiscing their first kiss that happened in her college's green room. He shook his head to come out of that reverie & forwarded his hand, "Toh ab chalein Mrs Maheshwari..."
Naina held his protective hand & walked towards the parking lot. Throughout the ride, the couple kept sneaking glances of each other but didn't utter a word. As predicted, when they reached home, Nanu was waiting for them in the living room, listening to his favorite songs on the television.
As Nanu saw them entering, he switched off the television & walked to them. "Naina kaisi rahi tumhari freshers party? Aur mere iss naati ka surprise kaisa lagaa?" Naina smiled & hugged him to avoid his piercing gaze, "Freshers party mein toh bohot mazaa aaya Nanaji... maine bohot enjoy kiya aur... aur... inka surprise bhi bohot accha lagaa..."
Sameer adored the relation that Naina & Nanu shared & with a smile on his handsome face, he spoke, "Arey Naina... Tumne Nanu ko bataaya nahi ki tumne Miss Freshers ka title jeeta?" He looked at Nanu & continued, "Aur to aur... aapki iss laadli ne itna accha dance kiya ki sab log dekhte hi reh gaye."
Nanu patted her back, "Arey waahhhh Naina... Congratulations... mujhe toh pataa hi nahi tha ki tumhe itna accha dance karna aata hai..." Sameer mumbled to himself, "Mujhe bhi kahaan pataa tha... wohh toh Preeti ki wajah se isne dance kiya warna hume toh kabhi pataa hi nahi chalta..."
Nanu & Naina glanced at him & he asked, "Tu kya akele akele badbada raha hai... chalo ab tum dono apne kamre mein jao. Bohot raat ho gayi hai aur haannnn... kal subah bilkul jaldi uthne ka sochna bhi mat Naina... chupchaap aaram karna. Maine Ramdhari ko bol diya hai kal naashte mein jalebi faafda laane ko. Chalo ab dono jao aur main bhi jaata hun sone..."
As he turned, Naina asked, "Nanaji... aapne thik se khaana toh khaaya na aur davaai bhi li na???" Nanu smiled at her concern & teased, "Haaa... Maine acche se khaana bhi khaaya aur davaai bhi le li hai. Ab main jaaun sone???" Naina nodded, "Goodnight Nanaji..." While walking to his room, he replied, "Goodnight bacchon..."
Sameer & Naina entered their room all tired. Both of them collected their change of clothes & waited for the other to go in the washroom. When no one moved, Sameer hesitantly spoke, "Ummm... Naina... tum washroom mein change kar lo, main yahi kamre mein change kar lunga."
She hesitated just for a moment & replied, "Ummm... Sameer... aap hi pehle washroom use kar lijiye, tab tak main yeh jewelry nikaal leti hun." He nodded in a trance as he saw her gathering her hair in her hand & making a bun, revealing her bare back. He took few steps towards the washroom in a daze & turned right before opening the door, "Ummmm... Naina... Hooks kholne mein help kar dun???"
Naina froze at his bold question & then replied shyly without meeting his gaze, "Wohhh... wohhh... main khud kar lungi..." The moment she heard the door closing, she breathed out... his soothing words, his kisses, everything flashed in her mind & she blushed some more... When she saw her reflection in the mirror, she saw her face turning beetroot red in mere seconds... this was his effect... her husband was full of surprises today...
She removed her jewelry one by one & then undid her saree too... She couldn't remove her saree in the wet washroom. Once it was out of her way, she took a shawl from her luggage & wrapped around herself. She kept all the jewelry in his cupboard where she had kept her wedding jewelry.
As she heard the click of the doorknob, she collected her clothes. Sameer was surprised seeing her wrapped in a shawl & asked worriedly, "Naina... Tum thik toh ho? yeh... yeh... shawl kyun pehni hai tumne? Tumhe thand lag rahi hai? Kahin fever toh nahi hai na tumhe? Ruko... main abhi thermometer le aata hun, tumhara temperature check kar lete hai pehle... Temperature jyada rahega toh main abhi doctor uncle ko bula leta hun aur..."
Naina covered his mouth with her palm stopping him midsentence. "Kitna bolte hai na aap??? Ab meri baat dhyaan se suniye... Kuch nahi hua hai mujhe. Wohh toh main saree bathroom mein change nahi kar paati, isliye maine yahin kamre mein nikaal li taaki gili na ho jaaye washroom mein. Shawl toh maine... sirf... sirf..."
And she stopped midsentence, realizing what she had spoken & what she was going to speak aloud without even thinking. She moved her hand from his mouth & ran towards the washroom without glancing at him. Sameer stood there in stunned silence after hearing her words... Did she change her saree here in the room & she had covered herself with the shawl???
Sameer saw the neatly folded saree on the couch. He walked to the couch & picked it up. He inhaled her fragrance & smiled to himself, "Aaj sach mein Naina iss saree mein bohot acchi lag rahi thi. Meri nazar hi nahi hati usspar se aaj, bas mann kar raha tha ki sirf Naina ko hi dekhta rahun..." He kept the saree back on the couch & opened the balcony door.
When Naina came out after freshening up, she saw that Sameer wasn't there in the room. She looked at the open balcony door & joined him there looking at the starry sky. They stood there for a few minutes in silence. Sameer turned & looked at his beautiful wife who was still watching the stars.
He kept looking at her serene face & asked, "Naina... ab toh batao kya hua hai?" He remembered something & asked, "Maine Preeti ko dekha tha college se bhaagte hue, toh batao kya hua hai tum dono ke beech mein? Kuch toh bada hi hua hoga, kyunki tum kisi aur ki baaton se buraa maanne waalon mein se nahi ho Naina..."
He turned her to face him, "Dekho Naina... mujhe please batao kya hua hai taaki main tumhari help kar sakun. Mujhse ab tumhara yeh udaas chehra nahi dekha jaa raha." She closed her eyes & let her tears flow. He wiped them & then left the topic untouched understanding fully well that she wasn't ready to share.
"Chalo... Sone chalte hai." He was upset watching her gloomy face. As he turned to go, Naina held his hand, stopping his move, "Preeti ko hamari shaadi ke baare mein pataa chal gaya hai." When he didn't react, she continued, "Sameer... Yakin maanniye, maine kuch nahi bataaya Preeti ko... Main saree pehen rahi thi aur wohh achanak se aa gayi, tabhi usne mere gale mein mangalsutra aur fir maang mein sindoor dekh liya. Maine... maine nahi bataaya tha kuch Sameer... Mujhe bohot acche se aapke conditions yaad hai, isliye maine kuch nahi kahaa kabhi kisise bhi. Main Nanaji ki kasam khaati hun Sameer, maine kuch nahi bataaya Preeti ko..."
Naina broke down in front of him & he immediately drew her closer in his arms. "Ssshhhh... Naina... Chup ho jao... Mujhe tumpar poora vishwas hai, main jaanta hun tumne kuch nahi kahaa Preeti se. Tumhe kisi ki kasam khaane ki zarurat nahi hai. Main tumse naaraz bhi nahi hun Naina... Bas yeh rona band karo."
When her sobs subsided, he continued, "I'm sorry Naina... mere conditions ki wajah se aaj tumhari Preeti ke saath dosti bhi khatre mein aa gayi. Hum milkar Preeti ko samjhayenge. Main hun na tumhare saath, main sab thik kar dunga. Waise bhi kal Sunday hai, Preeti aayegi hi na dinner ke liye, hum tab baat kar lenge usse. Thik hai... Chalo ab andar chalo, bohot raat ho gayi hai."
They came back to their room together. Naina settled down on the couch & Sameer on his bed. After tossing & turning for few hours, both of them finally drifted to sleep after remembering the turn of events at the end of the party. The next morning Sameer got up earlier than her & freshened up quickly to join Nanu downstairs. It was around ten in the morning when Naina woke up & freshened up quickly.
When she came downstairs, she saw Munna, Pandit & Anjali sitting with Sameer & Nanu in the living room. She greeted all & walked back to the kitchen to prepare some coffee & tea for everyone. In the kitchen Ramdhari spoke, "Bhabhi... Chai main banaa leta hun, aap coffee bana dijiye. Subah se Sameer bhaiya ne kuch nahi liya hai. Aapka hi intezaar kar rahe the shaayad, ab aapke haath ki coffee ki aadat jo ho gayi hai bhaiya ko."
Naina blushed & started preparing his favorite coffee. When she was about to carry the tray outside, Anjali came in to help her with the other tray consisting of jalebi & faafda. The girls served the tea, coffee & breakfast to the others & then settled down themselves, next to their better halves.
During the meal, Nanu informed them that Preeti had called earlier saying that they won't be able to make it to the dinner tonight as both the siblings were going to their cousin's place for a couple of days in Rajkot. Sameer glanced sideways at her sad wife who was upset with this sudden news.
Munna, Pandit & Anjali thought that it was Kabir who had deliberately changed the plans whereas only Sameer & Naina knew the real reason. It must be Preeti who was avoiding her best friend & didn't want to face her tonight.
Last night, as soon as the siblings reached home, Preeti had scurried away in her room while Kabir sat there in the living room for a while to clear his head. He thought of all the instances when he was around Naina. He always saw her uncomfortable in his presence. Was it because of her marital status? Was his behavior so obvious that even she could read him so clearly & maintained distance from him.
Now he understood why she was always staying away from him & never befriended him. Yesss... He liked Naina & wanted to be a part of her life, as her friend & also as her life partner but now when the truth was revealed, he couldn't think of anything more than being just her friend. He would never try to spoil her marriage with his best friend. He had seen how Sameer had always behaved with her. He was totally different from what he used to be in college.
Kabir rubbed his jaw where his best friend had punched him. He smiled & thought that finally the Almighty has fallen for someone special, & that someone special was his wife. He wasn't sad anymore but there was something that was nagging his mind. If they were married then why didn't they reveal it to the world? Why were they keeping this marriage secret from the others? He needed to find out & he decided to confront them during the dinner the next day.
But as he was about to get up & walk to his room, he saw Preeti coming downstairs with tears brimming down her face. Kabir instantly shot up from his place & was near her in a flash. "Preeti... Kya hua? Tu aise ro kyun rahi hai? Kuch hua hai kya? Kisine kuch kahaa kya?" She just looked in his eyes & then hugged him tightly.
"Bhai... aaj... aaj mujhe ek aisa sach pataa chala hai ji se jaanne ke baad pataa nahi, main aage kisi par vishwas bhi kar paaungi yaa nahi." Kabir made her sit on the couch & held her hand, "Aisa kya hua hai Preeti? Tum chaaho toh mujhe bataa sakti ho, jaise main hamesha se sunte aa ra ha hun, aaj bhi sununga. Bolo Preeti... Kya hua hai???"
She looked up at his worried face, "Naina aur Sameer married hai, aur yeh baat Naina ne mujhe aaj tak nahi bataayi. Aisa kyun kiya usne mere saath? Mujhe wohh apni best friend maanti hai, par usne itni badi baat mujhse chupaayi. Kyun nahi bataaya Naina ne? Kya wohh mujh par itna bhi vishwas nahi karti ki apni shaadi mujhse chupaakar rakkhi, hum sabse chupaakar rakkhi? Lagta hai Naina ne toh mujhe apni best friend maana hi nahi ab tak, warna itni badi baat mujhe zaroor bataati."
Kabir asked hesitantly, "Tumhe kaise pataa chala Naina aur Sameer ki shaadi ke baare mein?" Did she see Sameer punching him & then revealing the truth? Hope so not... he waited for a while & asked, "Bolo Preeti..." She met his gaze & replied, "Wohhh... jab main usse green room mein dekhne gayi, tab meri nazar uske gale mein mangalsutra pe padi aur fir uski maang mein thoda sindoor bhi lagaa tha. Maine usse sirf itna poocha ki kya Sameer uska husband hai aur wohh maan gayi."
The tears gathered in her eyes once again & her brother wiped it slowly, "Preeti... Mujhe bhi aaj hi pataa chala ki Sameer aur Naina married hai. Haaa... thoda bura lagaa, par hum yeh sach jhoothla toh sakte na? Aur jahaan tak maine Naina ko dekha hai, samjha hai, mujhe lagta hai ki kuch aisi baat zaroor hogi, jiski wajah se unn dono ne apni shaadi ki baat chupaayi. Preeti... Main jaanta hun ki tu Naina ko apni best friend aur behen maanti hai, par ek baar uske nazariye se bhi soch lena. Shaayad koi majboori hi rahi hogi, warna Naina tumse itna bada sach nahi chupaati."
Preeti hugged her brother & asked, "Kya hum kuch din ke liye Arjun bhaiya ke ghar Rajkot jaa sakte hain???" Kabir smiled, "Toh meri behen yahaan se bhag jaana chaahti hai? Apni best friend ka saamna karne ko taiyaar nahi hai abhi? Kyun Preeti? Main kuch galat keh raha hun kya?"
"Bhai... Main abhi Naina se nahi milna chaahti, agar abhi mili toh main kuch na kuch aisa bol dungi, jo mujhe nhi bolna chahiye. Mujhe bas thoda time akele rehna hai, toh kya hum do dinon ke liye Rajkot jaa sakte hai? Please bhai... Bas do din..." He reluctantly agreed to his sister & they left the next morning to Rajkot after informing Nanu about their travel plans.
Naina wasn't happy with this news. After breakfast, she went back to her room & tried to study, but it was a futile attempt as she couldn't concentrate on anything apart from the last night's happenings. So much had happened last night. Before she could think more, the door opened & Sameer walked in.
He sat beside her & asked, "Tum thik ho???" She just smiled faintly & replied, "Preeti ne yahaan aane se bhi manaa kar diya, wohh kal se mujhse baat nahi kar rahi aur ab toh meri shakal bhi nahi dekhna chaahti Sameer. Main jaanti hun wohh jaanbujhkar Rajkot gayi hai, taaki mujhse na milna pade aaj. Sameer... kya maine itni badi galti kar di, ki Preeti ab mujhse milna bhi nahi chaahti, meri shakal bhi nahi dekhna chaahti?"
Her eyes turned misty & Sameer held her hand tightly, "Naina... Tum aisa mat socho. Aisa bhi ho sakta hai ki sach mein unhe wahaan jaana pada ho kisi kaam se. Tum abhi ke liye yeh sab bhool jao, neeche sab tumhara wait kar rahe hai. Anjali kitchen mein Ramdhari ki help kar rahi hai lunch banaane mein."
The moment she heard it, she shot up from the couch, "Arey aise kaise aapne Anjali ko kitchen mein jaane diya, wohh kal hi toh aayi hai abroad se aur aaj aapne usse kaam par lagaa diya. Aap bhi na Sameer... Chaliye... main neeche jaa rahi hun. Aap... aap... aapki yeh t-shirt change kar lijiye, iss par chatni ka daag lag gaya hai."
As she left the room, he fell back on the couch & the worry lines were back on his forehead. His friends entered the room & sat on his bed facing him, "Sameer... kya hua hai? Naina ka chehra aaj subah se hi itna kyun latka hua hai? Kya... kya usse kal raat ke baare mein pataa chal gaya?", Munna asked in concern.
Sameer told his best friends all that had happened between Naina & Preeti. They were shocked hearing that even Preeti found it out last night but in another way. "Yaar... Sameer... mujhe Naina aur Preeti ke liye bohot bura lag raha hai, dono ke beech itni acchi friendship ho gayi thi aur yeh sab aise saamne aa gaya ki ab pataa nahi Preeti kaisa behave karegi?", Pandit showed his concern too.
Munna added, "Isliye Preeti ne yahaan dinner ke liye aane se manaa kar diya na? Aur wohh Kabir ke saath Rajkot chali gayi?" Sameer glared at his friend, "Uss Kabir ka naam bhi mat lo mere saamne." Pandit & Munna glanced at each other & then Munna spoke, "Agar tumne wohh stupid conditions nahi rakkhi hoti toh aaj yeh sab hota hi nahi. Tum dono ki friendships aise kharaab nahi hoti?"
Pandit agreed, "Sahi kahaa Chenu, agar tum dono pehle se hi bataa dete ki tum married ho, toh na Kabir ko Naina pasand aati aur na Preeti aur Naina mein yeh mann mutaav hota. Jo bhi ho raha hai na, uska kaaran toh tu hi hai Sameer... Zara shaanti se hamari baat par gaur karna... Hum ab neeche jaa rahe hai..." Saying that, both his friends left him alone in his room to ponder over their words.
Sameer thought to himself, "Baat toh sahi hai, agar maine wohh conditions Naina ke saamne nahi rakkhi hoti toh shaayad yeh sab nahi hota. Kya maine yeh sab conditions hamari shaadi ke beech laakar kuch galat toh nahi kiya na? Pehle main Naina par bilkul bhi vishwas nahi karta tha, isliye maine yeh sab kiya par ab kya main yeh badal sakta hun? Kya main Naina par poori tarah se bharosa kar sakta hun???"
The knock on the door broke his thoughts & he went downstairs to join the others for lunch. He saw Naina fidgeting with her food while even Nanu was observing her since morning. Once they finished the lunch, Naina went back to her room while Munna, Anjali & Pandit returned back to their homes. Sameer too retired to the study room to work on an important presentation. The whole Sunday, Naina remained in her room thinking of mending her friendship with Preeti while Sameer was busy in his presentation.
Nanu was watching everything silently & was giving her time to be fine. He somehow understood that something happened in the freshers party between the friends & so Preeti & Kabir hadn't come for dinner & went to their cousin's place in Rajkot. For now, he didn't want to meddle in their lives. Whenever the need be, he would surely do it later.
The two days went by very slowly for Naina in college as there was no trace of Preeti. It was already Wednesday & she was waiting desperately for her friend. Sameer & Nanu were observing her sad face for the last few days. Sameer tried to improve her mood many times by playing some comedy films at night, he even asked Mundit & Anjali to join them in the evenings.
Sameer even tried calling Preeti few times but couldn't connect to her as she had switched her mobile off since she had left Ahmedabad & he wasn't in a mood to talk to Kabir. Naina too tried calling her & even left some messages, but it was all in vain.
At Thursday morning when she reached college, she saw Preeti sitting at her usual place. As Naina sat beside her, Preeti neither acknowledged her presence nor did she make a move to talk to her. Naina was disheartened with her behavior but she also knew that she was at fault, afterall she had kept away such an important thing of her life from her best friend.
Shreya who was seeing this cold war between the best friends was beyond happy. She thought, "Accha hua, mujhe kuch karne ki zarurat hi nahi padi, inhone apne aap hi baat karna band kar diya. I'm happy though, bohot udd rahi thi naa freshers party mein. Main aaj dikhaati hun isse ki Shreya kya cheez hai. Mujhse panga lena bohot bhaari padega Naina tumhe, aur main isse aaj aisa sabak sikhaaungi ki kabhi mere saamne bol hi naa paaye. Waise bhi Preeti bhi usse baat nahi kar rahi toh isse accha mauka mujhe nahi mil sakta."
Naina tried speaking to her best friend but all she received from her was silence & ignorance. Shreya was delighted seeing this exchange between them & made a plan to take revenge on them today itself. How could she let this golden chance slip away? She told her plan to her other friends who happily agreed to stand with her.
Once the last lecture was over, Preeti walked away with Naina following her briskly behind her. She kept on calling her name, but Preeti didn't care & walked away. When they reached the corridor on the first floor, Shreya came in front of Naina & stopped her.
"Arey Naina... Tum itni bhaag bhaag kar kiske peeche jaa rahi ho? Preeti ke??? Arey tum ab tak nahi samjhi? Preeti ek rais khaandaan se hai jaise main hun. Aur main usse school time se jaanti hun, mujhe pataa tha ki wohh tumhare jaisi low class ladki se jyada time ke liye dosti nahi nibha paayegi. Aakhir hamara class hi alag hai na. Tum jaisi behenji se toh waise bhi kaun dosti karega? Miss Freshers ka title kya jeet liya, tumhe lagta hai ki tumne bohot bada teer maar liya?"
Shreya laughed aloud & continued, "Mujhe na tum jaisi ladkiyon pe bohot dayaa aati hai. Tumne itni acchi saree pehen toh li freshers party mein aur main jaanti hun ki tumhari itni aukaad hi nahi hai ki tum wohh mehengi saree afford kar sako, dekha tha maine Sameer ko tumhare saath, ussine bill bhi bhara hoga na?"
She took a step close to Naina, "Aisa kya kiya tumne Sameer ke saath jiski wajah se jab dekho tab wohh tumhare aage peeche hi rehta hai? Zara mujhe bhi bataao, main bhi try karti hun. Koi bhi ladka itne saare paise tum jaisi behenji par kharch aise hi nahi karega? Toh bataao na Naina, kya karti ho tum uske saath? Aur kitna charge karti ho tum aise services ke liye? Bolo Naina... we all are waiting..." The other girls started laughing loudly.
Before Naina could reply, Shreya was pulled behind with a jerk & then was slapped hard by her school friend. Shreya stumbled a little before she landed on the floor. Naina stood there stunned to see Preeti standing there. She had heard everything that Shreya had been asking Naina. She had stood there behind a pillar to see if Naina would reply her back, but she didn't & Preeti couldn't take anymore, especially when she was pointing at her best friend's character.
On the other hand, Naina too was angry on Shreya. No girl could hear anyone pointing out at their character this way. But she had seen Preeti hiding behind a pillar & then she went mum to see if Preeti would be able to hear her best friend getting insulted. And she hadn't disappointed Naina. There was still hope for their friendship. And Naina promised herself that she would patch up with her today itself. For now, she looked on at Preeti who was glaring daggers at her school friend.
Shreya got up & yelled, "How dare you Preeti Sehgal? How could you slap me in front of everyone?" Preeti smiled smugly at her & then again slapped her, "Aise..." Naina's eyes went wide when she saw her friend slapping Shreya again. Before Shreya could react, Preeti held her hand & twisted it, making her school friend shriek in pain.
"Kya keh rahi thi tum, zara fir se toh bolo? Mujhe thik se sunaayi nahi diya tha. Kya keh rahi thi tum ki main dosti sabke class dekhkar karti hun? Miss Shreya Mehta... Agar mujhe thik se yaad hai, toh yeh aadat tumhari hai, meri nahi. Aur agar main aisi hoti na, toh tum meri dost bhi nahi hoti. Tum jaisi ghatiyaa soch waali ladki mere dost kya, kisiki dost banne laayak nahi hai."
"Mera haath chod Preeti... Dekh shaanti se baat karte hai, mujhe dard ho raha hai, haath chod Preeti...", Shreya pleaded but it fell on deaf ears. Preeti continued, "Main bataaun tune kya kya gul khilaaye hai apne college ke dino mein. Bataaun sabko ki tum kya kya karti thi tab. Kiske saath kab aur kahaan rehti thi, bolun abhi? Fir dekhte hai, yeh jo itni khikhi khukhu kar rahi chipkaliyon mein se kitni yahaan khadi rehti hai tumhare saath."
The girls who had tagged alongwith Shreya stepped away from them hearing Preeti taking digs on Shreya. "Aaj ke baad kisi bhi ladki par aise comments pass kiye na toh main tumhari complaint Principal se karungi hi, par mujhe tumpar harassment ka case file karne mein bhi der nahi lagegi. Waise bhi pehle bhi kisi club se tum arrest hui thi naa drugs ke case mein, par tumhare papa ne tumhe bachaa liya tha. Agar iss baar agar koi police case file hua toh tumhare papa bhi shaayad madad na kar paaye. Tum toh jaanti hi ho ki tumhare papa meri baat jyada maanenge." Shreya stood rooted to her spot hearing Preeti's threat & she knew she was capable of doing it.
"Agar tu nahi chaahti ki main yeh sab karun toh abhi ke abhi Naina se maafi maang aur bol ki aaj ke baad tu kisi ke character par ungli nahi uthaayegi." Shreya glared at her, "My foot... Main aisa kuch nahi bolungi." Preeti twisted her hand more & took out her mobile with her other hand. She went through the contact list & halted at Shreya's father's number. She showed the screen to her & asked, "Thik hai. Ab tumne koi choice nahi chodi hai mere liye, main pehle tumhare papa ko call karungi, fir police ko aur Principal madam toh yahi college mein hi hai."
Before she clicked the call button on her phone, Shreya shouted, "Ruko... main... main maafi maangti hun..." Shreya turned to Naina & said, "Sorry..." Preeti laughed, "Kya kahaa... Mujhe toh kuch sunaayi nahi diya... Naina... tune kuch suna kya???" Naina shook her head in a no. "Zor se bolo Shreya... jaise tum pehle chilla chilla ke Naina se sawaal kar rahi thi, waise hi zor se bolo. Sabko sunaayi dena chahiye..."
Shreya glared at Naina, "I'm sorry Naina... Aaj ke baad main tumhe yaa kisi ladki ke character par ungli nahi uthaaungi..." Preeti said from beside her, "Sorry bol rahi ho tum, koi upkaar nahi kar rahi, jo Naina ko itne gusse se dekh rahi ho. Nazar neechi karo aur thik se maafi maango... Waise toh sab aata hai tumhe, shaayad yeh tumhe kisine nahi sikhaaya, Khair chodo... Main sikha deti hun. Toh chalo... Nazar neeche rakho aur acche se maafi maango..."
Shreya was left with no other option & she followed Preeti's instruction & apologized to Naina, "Naina... I'm very very sorry, mujhe maaf kardo please, aur ab Preeti se kaho mera haath chode, bohot dukhne lagaa hai haath..." Naina met her best friend's gaze & Preeti left her hand reluctantly, warning Shreya for the last time, "Agar aaj ke baad Naina ke aaspaas bhi dikhi na toh main tere mooh ka aisa naksha bigaadungi ki tu khudko bhi nahi pehchaan paayegi Shreya... Isse meri pehli aur aakhri warning samaj le. Tu jaanti hai ki maine abhi jo bhi bola, usse sach karne mein mujhe bilkul bhi der nahi hogi..."
Saying that, Preeti left from there while Naina stood there stunned hearing her best friend's threat. Shreya had just taken a step towards Naina when a voice from behind halted her in her tracks...

FATE TWISTED BY LOVE
CHAPTER 23
The familiar voice rang warning bells in Shreya's ears & she stood rooted to her spot. The girls who had accompanied her halted too with the arrival of the new intruder. Naina met his gaze & her lips curled upwards in a small smile & his name escaped from her mouth on her own accord, "Sameer..."
Shreya gulped in fear knowing very well that he must've heard what Preeti had said to her earlier. Sameer stood beside Naina & slipped his hand around her waist possessively. Naina shuddered with that sudden gesture while Shreya's eyes bulged out seeing the open display of affection.
Naina didn't know what to say so she remained quiet while Sameer was glaring at Shreya with a dangerous look. "Kya baat hai Shreya? Aaj naa hii naa hello... kuch nahi?" She gulped in fear some more after hearing his cold tone, even Naina glanced at him once before looking back at her. "Ummm... Sameer... hume chalna chahiye... Late ho raha hai. Nanaji lunch ke liye wait kar rahe honge."
"Itni bhi kya jaldi hai Naina... Ruko naa... Mujhe zara Shreya se baat karni hai. Waise toh hamesha mujhe dekhte hi iska bolna shuru ho jaata hai, par aaj yeh mujhe dekhkar aise chup kyun ho gayi?" He turned to Shreya, "Bolo Shreya... Kya hua, aaj tumhari bolti kyun band hai? Yaa main aise poochun ki kisne tumhari bolti band ki hai?"
Sameer gritted his teeth in anger while Shreya shivered a little with his tone. He had heard everything, every damn word she uttered. Since morning, he was feeling restless, especially after he had dropped his wife at the college's entrance. Preeti hadn't attended college for the last two days & Naina wasn't happy with that. He didn't know why but he decided to pick her up that afternoon.
Sameer stood waiting at the entrance for a few minutes but couldn't find Naina. So, he entered the college & saw Preeti standing behind the pillar. He picked up his speed & reached her. Before he could call her out, he heard Shreya's voice & that was it. He himself wanted to go inside & slap that girl but he waited as he saw Preeti fisting her hands in anger.
Sameer heard each & every word that girl had uttered to his wife & his eyes saw red. But before he could do anything, Preeti had walked to her & slapped her twice. He sighed in relief watching Preeti taking a stand for his wife & her best friend. Even though Preeti wasn't talking to Naina, he was happy to see her siding with her best friend.
When Preeti walked off, he saw Shreya taking a step towards his wife & without wasting any more time, he called her out, stopping that girl in her track. Even if Preeti had taught her a good lesson, Sameer wanted to do something. And he knew what he had to do.
"Tumhe pataa hai Shreya, kuch dino pehle hi kuch ladkon ne Naina ke saath badtameezi ki thi aur Kabir ne unn ladkon ko police ke hawaale kar diya tha. Mujhe tab pataa chala ki Naina ne unn dono ko ek rod se bohot maara tha. Main jaanta tha ki police ne bhi unhe bohot maara hoga, par fir bhi mere dil ko sukoon nahi mila. Main unhe apne style mein punish karna chaahta tha, kyunki unhone Naina ko haath lagaane ki gustaakhi ki thi. Tum jaanna chahogi ki maine kya kiya???"
Shreya was sweating so much that Sameer was happy seeing the effect of his words. He couldn't slap her, infact he didn't even want to touch her. He pulled his wife near him & continued talking, "Maine fir dusre din police commissioner ko call kiya aur kahaa ki mujhe unn dono se akele mein milna hai. Aur commissioner uncle toh mujhe bohot acche se jaante hai, isliye unhone mujhe bulaa liya. Jaanti ho maine kya kiya unn dono ke saath???"
Shreya shook her head in a trance & he continued, "Maine unn dono ladkon ko itna electric current diya ki wohh almost mar jaate, agar time par mujhe commissioner uncle ne nahi roka hota toh. Waise mujhe koi farak nahi padta agar wohh mar bhi jaate toh, kyunki unhone meri Naina ko chune ki koshish ki thi. Toh ab tum khud samaj jao, ki agar koi meri Naina ko thodi si bhi taklif dega toh main uska kya hashar karunga?"
Shreya shuddered with the thought that what would Sameer do to her but she remained quiet & met Naina's gaze who was already looking at her with a faint smile. Naina had somehow understood that her hot husband had heard everything & he was just warning her off from never repeating it again. She was enjoying watching Shreya squirming before her eyes.
Sameer took a step ahead alongwith Naina & spoke dangerously, "Shreya... tumhe samaj toh aa gaya hoga ki maine yeh sab kyun kahaa. Waise toh Preeti ne tumhe do thappad maare na, wohh bhi mujhe kamm hi lage. Agar tum ladki nahi hoti na toh main tumhe zaroor bataata ki main tumhe kya sazaa deta tumhari unn faltu baaton ke liye. Preeti ne sirf tumhara chehre ka naksha bigaadne ki baat kahi, par main tumhara kya kya bigaad sakta hun yeh tum soch bhi nahi sakti Shreya... Agar aaj ke baad maine tumhe Naina ke aaspaas bhi dekha naa toh main tumhara wohh haal karunga ki tum kabhi khud ko pehchaan bhi nahi paaogi. Aur haannn... Mehta uncle ko bhi main personally bohot acche se jaanta hun aur agar tum apni khairiyat chaahti ho, toh meri Naina se durr hi rehna... Samjhi tum???"
Before Sameer could say more, Shreya ran away from there towards the washroom while her so called friends laughed seeing her condition. Sameer wasn't finished yet, he turned to the other girls who were laughing on Shreya now, "Main Sameer Maheshwari hun, aur aaj ke baad kisine bhi Naina ko kuch bhi ulta seedha bola toh mujhse bura koi nahi hoga... Samaj rahi ho tum sab???" The other girls too sauntered away from there leaving the couple alone.
Sameer turned to his smiling wife & glared, "Wohh ghatiya ladki tumhe itna kuch sunaa rahi thi, aur tum chupchaap sunn rahi thi. Kis mitti ki bani ho Naina??? Tum ek shabd se nahi boli kuch, kitna kuch bol gayi wohhh tumhe... Sach mein aaj agar wohh mujhse bachi hai na toh wohh sirf Nanu ke sanskaaron ki wajah se, warna aaj mera bhi haath uth hi gaya hota usspar."
Naina was still smiling looking at him & he was more furious. Unknown to both of them, two pairs of eyes were still standing there & watching them. Naina held his arm & said, "Ab baaki ka ghar chalkar daant lijiyega. Abhi mujhe bhook lagi hai... Please... ghar chalein ab..." Sameer rolled his eyes & they left towards their car. The siblings came out from their hideout & drove back home.
In the car, Sameer was confused looking at his wife's happy face. He asked, "Aisa kya hua hai, jo tum kabse mann hi mann muskuraaye jaa rahi ho?" The smile still intact on her face, Naina replied, "Aapne dekha na, mujhse naaraaz hone ke bawajood bhi Preeti ne Shreya ko thappad maara aur kitna kuch sunaaya. Mujhe lagta hai ki Preeti jald hi mann jaayegi, mujhe maaf kar degi aur mujhse baat karegi. Aapko kya lagta hai Sameer???"
Sameer too had the same feeling, "Haannn... maine bhi dekha. Lekin mujhe lagta hai Naina ki tumhe Preeti se ek baar akele mein baat kar leni chahiye. Main jaanta hun ki tum ek baar Preeti ko acche se sab samjha dogi na, toh wohh zaroor maan jaayegi." Naina agreed, "Aap sahi keh rahe hai Sameer, mujhe Preeti se uske ghar milne jaana chahiye. Sameer... Main aaj hi jaaun kya? Chaar din se usse baat nahi ki hai toh mujhe accha nahi lag raha."
Sameer agreed happily, "Thik hai... Pehle lunch kar lete hai, fir main office jaate waqt tumhe Preeti ke ghar drop kar dunga." She smiled widely, "Haannn... yahi sahi rahega." They reached home in the next ten minutes & joined Nanu for lunch. After freshening up, Sameer left the house with Naina to drop her at Preeti's place. When they had informed Nanu about this sudden visit, he had smiled knowingly, understanding that the friends finally wanted to talk.
After Preeti left Shreya's hand in the college's corridor, she walked towards the parking lot. She had hoped that Naina would follow her again, but she didn't see her. So, she turned towards the college again but someone tapped on her shoulder & his brother stood there with a frown. "Waapis college mein kyun jaa rahi ho Preeti???", Kabir asked. She didn't reply & dragged him towards the corridor to find Sameer already standing next to Naina.
The siblings didn't miss the way Sameer had held Naina close to him. They were stunned to know what Sameer had done to those goons, though Kabir was aware of it, yet he was surprised to see that he had said it in front of everyone & tried to scare that Shreya girl. He didn't know what was going on but somehow, he understood that Shreya had mistreated Naina & Sameer was giving that girl a tough time. Kabir was even more surprised when he came to know that his sister had slapped that girl twice & even threatened her.
When Sameer & Naina had left from there, they too left in their car. "Preeti... tumne Shreya ko thappad maara... matlab seriously... wohh bhi Naina ke liye... Jahaan tak mujhe yaad hai tum toh Naina se naaraaz ho aur usse baat bhi nahi kar rahi, aur fir Shreya toh tumhari school friend hai. Toh fir yeh sab kyun kiya?", Kabir was curious to get all the details.
Preeti narrated the whole scene that happened in the college & her brother heard it attentively. His hands on the steering wheel tightened, "Uss Shreya ki itni himmat ki usne Naina se yeh sab kahaa? Agli baar milne do, main bhi usse thodi baat karna chahunga." Preeti chuckled, "Bhai... mujhe nahi lagta ki meri dhamki aur khaaskar ke Sameer ki dhamki ke baad Shreya Naina ki taraf aankh uthaakar bhi dekhegi. Dekha naa aapne kaise bhaag gayi thi baad mein..." The siblings laughed out heartily remembering the frightened look on Shreya's face.
Sameer stopped his car in front of Preeti's house. When Naina stepped out of the car, he too came out & stood beside her, "Dekho Naina... Jo bhi karna dil se karna, I'm sure Preeti tumhara point of view samjhegi. Aur... aur..." She stared at her stuttering husband & asked, "Aur kya Sameer?"
Sameer closed his eyes for a second & then met her gaze, "Tum chaaho toh Preeti ko sab bataa sakti ho hamari shaadi ke baare mein. I mean ki tum usse hamare agreements ke baare mein bhi bataa sakti ho. Naina... agar tum yeh sab nahi bataaogi toh Preeti tumhe maaf nahi karegi aur main nahi chaahta ki hamare agreements ki wajah se tum dono ki dosti toote... tum samaj rahi ho na Naina?"
Naina's eyes misted instantly, "Aap sach mein chaahte hai ki main Preeti ko sab bataaun?" He nodded, "Jab mere best friends ko sab pataa hai toh tumhari best friend ko bhi sab pataa hona chahiye na?" Naina couldn't believe that he himself was allowing her to talk about their marriage & agreements to Preeti. Even she knew that this time she would've to confess everything to her best friend. But somewhere she wasn't sure if she could do it because of his conditions. Now, Sameer himself had given her permission to disclose everything to her best friend & she was happy with it.
Without thinking much, she hugged him, "Thank you Sameer... aapne meri problem solve kardi. Main khud Preeti ko sab sach bataana chaahti thi par aapki conditions ki wajah se main thoda sehem gayi thi. Thank you so much Sameer, aaj aapki wajah se shaayad main apni khaas dost ko waapis paa sakungi, Preeti ko vishwas dila paaungi ki wohh meri liye kya maayne rakhti hai."
Sameer held her close to himself & was lost in her fragrance. "Ab itna bhi thank you mat bolo warna main tumhe aise hi pakadkar rakhunga aur apni friend ke paas nahi jaane dunga." Naina chuckled at her cute husband's not so cute threat, "Ab aap office jaaiye, main andar jaati hun."
He called her out, "Naina... Main kab lene aaun tumhe?" "Uski zarurat nahi hai Sameer. Main khud chali jaaungi. Aap fikar mat kijiye, ghar pohonchkar main aapko message kar dungi." He nodded & when she turned to walk ahead, he called out again, "Achaa suno, dhyaan se ghar jaana, thik hai." She nodded & turned but again he called out, "Agar andar Kabir ho toh usse bilkul baat karne ki zarurat nahi hai, chupchaap jisse milne aayi ho sirf ussise milna. Thik hai..." Naina nodded again but couldn't hold onto her laughter
Sameer was again lost in her as she moved too close to him, "Kahin kuch jal raha hai kya???" This statement broke his trance & before he could get hold of her, she ran away towards the main door. He muttered, "Tum ghar aao, fir batata hun, kya jal raha hai..." Naina stopped right in front of the door & turned to see her dashing husband still standing near the car & looking at her with a mischievous smile. She knew she had entered a dangerous territory & teased him. She had no idea what was going to happen at night when they would be alone in their room. She waved at him & he left winking at her. She turned to the door with a smile & pressed the doorbell.
The siblings finished their lunch & Kabir was heading towards his study to finish some work when the doorbell rang. "Iss waqt kaun aaya hoga?", he mumbled & went to open the door. The moment he opened the door, he froze seeing Naina standing in front of him. She looked at him & asked, "Kya Preeti ghar par hai? Mujhe usse akele mein baat karni hai."
Kabir opened the door widely & Naina walked in. "Ummmm... Preeti uske kamre mein hai. Upar jaakar second room to your right." When she took a step ahead, he asked, "Tum kuch logi Naina? Chai, coffee ya soft drink?" She just shook her head, "Mujhe kuch nahi chahiye, main sirf Preeti se baat karne aayi hun?"
Without turning back, Naina took the stairs & walked towards her best friend's room. Naina stood in front of the door for a while. Taking a deep breath, she knocked on the door. Preeti's reply came in an instant, "Bhai... aa jaaiye andar." She assumed that it was her brother.
Naina opened the door & saw Preeti sitting on her bed with books scattered all around. "Dekho na Bhai, mujhe kuch samaj nahi aa raha. Aap mujhe..." She couldn't complete her sentence as she saw her best friend standing in front of her. Naina turned & locked the door. She didn't want any disturbance today; she had come here to seek her forgiveness & she would get it.
"Tum yahaan kyun aayi ho Naina? Mujhe tumse baat nahi karni, tum jao yahaan se.", Preeti said dragging her notebook on her lap. Naina didn't move from her place, "Main yahaan tumhe thank you bolne aayi hun." Without looking at her best friend, Preeti replied, "Bol diya na thank you, ab jao..."
Mustering up some courage, Naina asked, "Preeti... please meri baat ek baar sunn lo na. Uske baad bhi agar tum mujhe baat nahi karna chaahogi, toh main sach mein kabhi tumhare raaste mein nahi aaungi, tumhe disturb nahi karungi. Bas ek baar meri poori baat toh sunn lo Preeti..."
Preeti looked up at her, "Thik hai. Main tumhe paanch minute de rahi ho, jo bolna hai jaldi bolo." Naina sighed in relief, she was happy that at least Preeti didn't deny her outright & agreed to hear her out.
Naina started pacing the room slowly while Preeti closed her book & looked at her friend. "Preeti... tum toh jaanti hi ho ki meri family mein sirf Nanaji the aur unke guzarne ke baad Sameer ke Nanaji mujhe unke ghar le gaye. Jab main unke saath uss ghar mein rehne lagi toh main apne puraane dard bhoolne lagi thi, maine ek Nanaji ko toh hamesha ke liye kho diya tha, par bhagwaanji ne mujhe dusre Nanaji de diye."
"Dheere dheere main khush rehne lagi. Jab main Nanaji ke ghar rehne gayi toh Sameer nahi the ghar mein, London gaye the aur Nanaji ne mujhe unn dinon mein Sameer ke baare mein bohot kuch bataaya tha. Fir ek din achaanak hum aamne saamne aaye aur uske baad meri zindagi badal gayi."
Naina didn't tell her best friend that she had already started liking Sameer. She deliberately didn't mention how they both had met in his room. She didn't want her friend to know that she had fallen for him even before meeting him. This little secret was going to be with her forever, she won't ever share this with anyone, not even Preeti.
Naina continued, "Thode din guzar ne ke baad Nanaji ne hume bataaya ki unhone meri Nanaji se waada kiya tha ki wohh meri aur Sameer ki shaadi karvaayenge. Unhone shaadi ka faisla hum par choda tha, par aisi kuch cheezen hui thi jisse Sameer ko lagaa ki main unse sirf paison ke liye shaadi kar rahi hun, unke Nanaji ke saath acche banne ka naatak kar rahi hun. Sameer ne toh mere character par bhi ungli uthaa li thi. Mujhse yeh sab suna nahi gaya aur jo harkat unhone tab karni chaahi, uske baad maine Sameer ko kasskar thappad maar diya tha aur fir ussi raat maine uss shaadi se inkaar kar diya."
Naina remembered that day & tears rolled down her eyes. Preeti didn't move, she wanted to hear what happened next, "Fir tum dono ki shaadi kaise huyi Naina?" Naina wiped her tears & continued, "Fir ussi raat Nanaji ko heart attack aaya aur hum unhe hospital le gaye. Unki haalat humse dekhi nahi jaa rahi thi. Unke hosh aane ke baad bhi unhone hamari shaadi ki baat nikaali aur tab maine decide kar liya tha ki bhale meri zindagi kharaab ho jaaye, par main mere dono Nanaji ka vaada poora karungi."
"Jis raat Nanaji ko hospital se discharge mila, ussi raat Sameer ne mujhe unke kamre mein bulaaya. Tab humne decide kiya ki hum shaadi karenge, sirf wohh vaada poora karne ke liye. Par..." And she stopped, the tears still flowing from her eyes, but this time she wasn't the only one who was crying, her best friend's eyes had turned misty too.
"Par kya Naina???" Naina met her friend's wet gaze, "Sameer ne kahaa ki shaadi se pehle mujhe kuch agreements sign karne honge." Preeti got up from her bed & stood in front of her friend, "Kaise agreements Naina???" "Unhone tab mujhe yahi kahaa tha ki mujhe prenuptial agreement par sign karna hai."
Preeti held her best friend's shoulder, "Tune 'agreements' bola pehle Naina." Naina continued holding her gaze, "Shaadi se pehle unhone mujhse teen agreements par sign karvaaye. Pehla toh prenuptial agreement hi tha, dusra agreement hamare divorce papers the."
Preeti gasped, "Shaadi hone se pehle hi divorce papers kaun banvaata hai yaar???" Naina continued, "Hamari shaadi ek contract marriage hai Preeti, ek saal ki shaadi. Ek saal khatam aur yeh shaadi bhi khatam." Naina tried controlling her sobs while Preeti's heart broke seeing her friend in this way.
Preeti wanted to hear it all now, "Aur... aur teesra agreement?", her voice choked at the end, but she didn't care anymore about it. Naina wiped her tears & then looked at her best friend who was also accompanying her in crying. She wiped her tears too. "Teesra agreement toh unhone iss liye banaaya tha kyunki maine unhe thappad maara tha. Unn mein kuch conditions the, jaise ki main hamari shaadi ke baare mein kisiko nahi bataungi, hum hamari marriage consummate nahi karenge, Sameer ke sab kaam main hi karungi aur divorce ke baad main kisise koi rishta nahi rakhungi, hamesha ke liye sab se durr chali jaungi."
Preeti lost her control & she pulled her best friend in a hug, "Naina... yaar... tu kis mitti ki bani hai, itna sab hone ke baad bhi tune Sameer se shaadi ki? Tere paas dil hai bhi yaa nahi Naina? Aise kaise tune apni zindagi barbaad kar di. Ek vaada poora karne ke liye, tumne tumhari life kharaab kar di Naina? Divorce ke baad kya karegi Naina tu, kahaan rahegi, kuch socha hai kya tune?"
Naina rubbed her back & replied, "Iska jawaab toh mujhe bhi nahi pataa Preeti, uss waqt jo mujhe sahi lagaa wohh maine kiya. Maine tere café mein job bhi isiliye li thi ki thode paise jod sakun khud ke liye jisse ek saal baad main at least mere liye hostel mein ek room rent kar sakun."
"Iska matlab hai ki tu Sameer se yaa Nanaji se paise nahi leti?" Preeti pulled out of her hug & Naina nodded in a no. "Agar maine unse paise liye toh Sameer ki kahi hui baat sahi ho jaati ki maine unse shaadi unke paison aur aish-o-aaraam ke liye ki hai, jo main nahi hone de sakti. Mujhe college mein admission toh scholarship par hi mila hai aur baaki ke kharche main khud manage kar leti hun."
Preeti felt bad for her best friend & was damn angry on her so-called husband. "I am sorry Preeti... Main jaanti hun ki yeh sab mujhe tumhe pehle hi bataa dena chaahiye tha, par Sameer ki conditions hi aisi thi ki main tumhe chaahkar bhi sach nahi bataa saki. I'm sorry Preeti, I'm very very sorry..."
Preeti slapped her on her shoulder, "Tune Maine Pyaar Kiya nahi dekhi???" Naina hit her forehead slightly, "Main bhool gayi ki friendship mein no sorry no thank you." Preeti joined her in finishing that famous dialogue & hugged her tightly. "Main promise karti hun Naina, aaj ke baad hamare beech, hamari dosti ke beech main kisiko nahi aane dungi, naa uss Sameer ko aur naa hi Bhai ko."
Naina continued, "Haan... main bhi promise karti hun Preeti ki aaj ke baad koi baat tumse nahi chupaungi." Preeti asked, "Acchaaa... aisi baat hai toh yeh bataa, aisa kya hua tha tere aur Sameer ke beech jiski wajah se tune usko thappad maara tha." Naina knew that she couldn't escape her friend's sharp mind & eyes & she complied.
Preeti heard each & every word that Naina said with amusement. She told her everything that happened since she entered Maheshwari Mansion, leaving out the details about her collision with Sameer in just a towel. Preeti understood that her best friend was already in love with her so-called husband. But she didn't voice it out. When Naina finished speaking, Preeti fumed, "Uss Sameer ki itni himmat ki usne tujhe kiss karne ki koshish ki, tum par itne saare ghatiya ilzaam lagaaye. Milne do usse, chodungi nahi Sameer ko."
Naina instantly defended her husband, "Preeti... Jo bhi hua wohh shaadi ke pehle ki baat hai aur main khud sab bhool chuki hun, toh please tu iska zikar Sameer ke saamne kabhi nahi karegi." Preeti frowned, "Main teri ek baat nahi sunungi Naina. Main Sameer ko chodungi nahi. Usko toh main..."
Naina covered her best friend's mouth, "Tumhe meri kasam agar tumne Sameer ko kuch bhi kahaa toh..." Preeti widened her eyes after hearing her words. Naina moved her hand away & Preeti screamed, "Naina... tune yeh sahi nahi kiya, tune mujhe aisi kasam kyun di? Mujhe Sameer par itna gussa aa raha hai ki pooch mat aur ab tune yeh kasam dekar mujhe baandh diya yaar. Pataa nahi Sameer ko dekhkar main apna gussa kaise control kar paaungi?"
Naina chuckled watching her best friend getting agitated towards her husband. She had expected this. She knew once the truth will be out, Preeti would react this way only. But now when everything was going good with her husband, she didn't want to spoil it. She wanted to make memories with him, so that once she left the Maheshwari Mansion, she would live with those memories & cherish them forever.
Naina pulled Preeti down on her bed & asked, "Ab yeh bataa tujhe kya samajh nahi aa raha tha? Main samjha deti hun." Preeti kept the books away & said, "Ruk abhi baat khatam nahi hui hai. Ye bataa ki jab tu Sameer ki sab conditions maan rahi hai toh aaj mujhe sab sach kaisa bataa diya?"
Naina didn't meet her gaze & replied, "Wohh... wohhh... Sameer ne hi mujhe kahaa ki main tumhe sab bataa sakti hun." Her best friend couldn't believe it, "Are you serious Naina? Tumhe Sameer ne kahaa mujhe sab bataane ke liye? Main maan hi nahi sakti yeh, it is impossible."
Naina smiled, "Par yahi sach hai Preeti, jab Sameer mujhe yahaan chodne aaye tabhi unhone mujhse kahaa ki main tumhe hamari shaadi ka sach bataa dun. Jaise unke best friends ko sab pataa hai, vaise hi wohh chaahte hai ki meri best friend ko bhi sab pataa ho. Sameer nahi chaahte the ki agreements aur conditions ki wajah se hamari dosti toote."
Preeti didn't react & Naina kept staring at her, but her best friend remained mum. "Ab aur kuch jaanna hai tumhe?", Naina asked raising her eyebrows. Preeti nodded, "Kya fir se Sameer ne tumhe kiss karne ki koshish ki hai?" This time Naina's eye went wide & she answered, "Nahi..." She didn't want to share what happened in the green room with her, that was their private moment which she didn't want to discuss with anyone, not even with her best friend.
Preeti sighed in relief & said, "Agar aisa waisa kuch karne ki koshish bhi kare naa toh mujhe bataa dena, main dekh lungi uss Sameer ke bacche ko." Naina chuckled listening to her best friend's threat while Preeti glared at her. "Chal ab thodi padhai kar le?" Preeti reluctantly agreed & they started studying.
Kabir who had come with a tray of coffees & snacks for the best friends stood rooted to his place outside the door. And unknown to both the friends, he had heard everything. He too was annoyed on Sameer. How could he treat Naina like that? How could he make such agreements & put those stupid conditions on her? But then he also remembered how Sameer was treating her now. Did he realize his mistakes? The changed behavior of Sameer confused Kabir more but he decided to pay a visit to his friend. He wanted some answers & he went back downstairs.
Keeping the tray back on the table, he collected his cars keys & left towards Maheshwari Industries...
How was the update?
I wanted to write more but two confrontations in the same update wasn't feasible.😜
What do you think will Kabir be able to confront Sameer after what happened between them after the freshers party?
Let me know your reviews.
Ignore the mistakes...
With Lots of Love,
Daksha...❤
