PYAAR KI HAAR?

Part 1

Adjusting her looks, wiping her tears and masking her sadness with a forceful smile she released a deep breath and pressed the bell.

The door was opened by another girl of almost the same age of her. Seeing her all of a sudden, the girl engulfed her in a tight hug.

"Areh Naina! Kaisi Hain yaar.... Pata hain kitna miss Kiya tujhe" the other girl said

The girl called Naina smiled seeing her reaction, the smile though not reaching to her eyes...

"Andar aa !! Waha kyu khadi hain? " The girl said Naina once breaking from the hug and she welcomed Naina inside the house filled with many other people.

"Waise tere saath jijaji nhi aaye?" The girl asked and this made Naina stop in her tracks... Her clutch on the trolley's handle got tight ,Her mind going blank with the incidents that she faced just few hours ago....

" Tumne kabhi mujhse pyaar kiya hi nhi Naina"

"Jab jab tumne muh khola hain bas burai kari hain meri!"

"Sharad ki tarah koi milta na tabh tumhe samajh aata, jab woh din raat tum par hukum karta!"

"Naina?" The girl called out again breaking Naina's trance..

"Kya ?" Naina asked..

"Jijaji kyu nhi aaye?" The girl asked again..

"Woh usne kaha ki woh Munna ki side se hi aayega ladke waalo ki taraf seh because uska bhai jo hain isiliye nhi aaya!" Naina replied dryly..

"Areh yeh toh mujhe bhi pata hain par tujhe chod ne toh aa sakte the na! Krishna kasturbi seh itni door tu akeli aayi?" The girl asked.

"Haa woh mujhe chod na toh chahta tha but jab hum nikal ne waale the tabh actually mamaji ka company seh call a gaya and company ka manager hone ke naate usse turant jaana pada... abhi kaam bhi toh important hain na toh maine usse company bhej diya and yaha aa gayi akele." Naina replied fakely.

"Achcha toh yeh baat hain.. thik hain fir waise bhi functions mein toh milte hi rahenge.." the girl said and Naina smiled lightly at her words.

"Ek kaam kar.. tu andar chal mere room mein... Waha Kamya , Preeti aur Hema bhi hain... Woh bhi abhi aaye hain just kuch minute pehle... Main tab tak tere liye juice laati hu... Ok!" The girl said to which Naina nodded and went towards the direction of girl's room carrying her trolley inside.

As she entered the room, three other girls of almost her age came and hugged Naina tightly into a group hug.

"Kitne dino baad mil rahi hu tujhse Naina main! Shaadi ke baad seh toh bhul hi gaayi shayad tu ki Kamya naam ki teri ek friend bhi hain! " The girl named Kamya said making a fake angry face.

"Yeh toh bilkul sahi kaha tune Kamya... Naina ki bachchi, kehne ko toh tu meri best friend hain but pichle ek saal seh jab se teri shaadi hui hain tere darshan paana hi itna durlabh ho gaya? Yaad bhi nhi aati thi kya hum dosto ki tujhe?"the girl said with a mocking voice after she returned with a glass of juice.

" Swati,kamya?Tum log bhi kaise budhdhu jaise questions karte ho na? Usse Jijaji hume yaad karne denge tabh na yaad karegi?" The girl named Hema exclaimed teasingly...

"Areh par isme meri behen ko kyu dosh de rahe ho? Jijaji isse kabhi chodenge tabhi na milne aayengi humse yeh madam!Mere Jijaji toh humesha meri behen ko apni baahon mein hi kaid rakhte hain , kabhi apne seh dur hone hi nhi dete isiliye toh hum sabki yaad hi nhi aati iss madam ko...!" Preeti giggled.

"Aaye haaye!" The other three girls exclaimed together and passed a teasing look to Naina... Only if they knew that their talks were doing nothing but only adding salt to her wounds.
