Never Let You Go

Dil Pe Dastak 💘

After breakfast they both left for office together with Pandit... whole journey went in silence... no one initiated any discussion rather stealing glimpses to each other from corner of their eyes... 

Pandit was even more confused on their weird behavior... hard for him to understand what makes them to feel so much shy from each other... he muttered slowly, "pati patni bhi ek dusre to yun chhup chhup kar dekhte hai... duffer..."

Reaching office, to keep herself calm, Naina gets busy in completing her pending jobs... his sudden change of behavior has already messed up totally her thoughts and unable to figure out how to handle it now... bechari 😜

Since they all were not in office from last two days resulting to a tiring day ahead... Sameer also gets busy in back to back meeting and discussion happening, giving them no chance to meet each other in alone... once she went inside with his coffee finding excuse, but sudden calls didn't let them to talk with each other and she came out from his cabin feeling sad... even more confused on her own feelings now...

During lunch time, Preeti approached Naina for canteen... though Naina was aware that she cannot talk with Preeti about their relation but spending time with her in alone always enlighten her thoughts to deal with the issues around... they both gets busy in chatting non-stop but Preeti seems slightly upset and lost... 

Naina seeing her so lost asked, "Preeti, tu theek hai na... I mean kab se dekh rahi hun tu thodi udaas lag rahi hai... kuchh hua hai kya... sorry mein kal office nahin aayi par koi baat thi toh tu ne mujhe phone kyun nahin kiya..."

Preeti sighed heavily, "nothing yaar... bas aise hi... kuchh dinon se mummy papa ki bohot yaad aa rahi hai ... sach kahun office aati hun toh lagta hai sab theek hai par ghar jaate hi, akele mein, vahi sab... I know hum kuchh nahin kar sakte par Naina yeh akelapan mujhe tod raha hai... mujhse nahin sahi ja raha yeh akelapan..." her eyes shed uncontrollable tears...

Naina eyes as well get brimmed when she hugged her tightly to console, "Preeti mein samajhti hun par tujhe khud ko smabhalna padega... tu aise kamjor nahin pad sakti..."

She thinks, "kaash maine pehle hi Preeti ko apni shaadi ka sach bata diya hota toh usey apne saath thode din ke liye ghar le jaati... uska akelapan bhi dur ho jaata... par sach kahun toh mujhe yeh bhi nahin pata ki kya mujhe haq hai kisi ko apne ghar le jaane ka... jo ghar mere liye jaldi hi paraaya hone wala hai vahaan mein kisi ko kaise le jaa sakti hun... pehle hi Kamya ki wajah se sab ulajhta ja raha hai, aise mein Preeti ko aur pareshaan nahin kar sakti mein..."

Once her sobs reduce, Preeti looks bit calm, "sorry Naina, maine tujhe bhi pareshaan kar diya... tu pehle hi itani tensed hai... par ab mein theek hun... shayad tu bhi kal nahin thi toh aur akelapan lagne laga... sach kahun kuchh hi dinon mein mujhe teri aadat si ho gayi hai... lagta hai jaise agar iss poori duniya mein mera koi apna hai toh bas sirf tu... par na jaane kyun ek darr sa lagane laga hai... agar tu ne bhi mera saath chhod diya toh... mein kaise..."

Naina wiped her tears giving an assurance, "aisa kabhi nahin hoga Preeti... Promise... aur mujhe lekar tujhe kabhi darrne ki koi jarurat nahin... tu mujhe kabhi bhi aur kahin bhi bula sakti hai... samjhi... maana khoon ka nahin par dil ka rishta toh hai na hamara... maine hamesha zindagi mein apne kareebi rishtey khoye hai par tujhe khona mein afford nahin kar sakti..."

To lighten her mood she teased, "vaise bhi itani pagli si, jhalli si ladki, jo hamesha mujhe hansati hai, mujhe bina ticket ke circus dikhati hai, usase dur kaise rah sakti hoon mein... aur mere saath bechare mere bhai ka toh soch... voh toh devdaas hi ban jayega apni Paaro ki yaad mein..."

Preeti smiled finally, "kuchh bhi haan... viase voh devdaas kam mujhe toh bachpan mein voh comics padte the na Motu-Patlu, uska motu lagta hai jo samosa ke bina kuchh soch hi nahin paata..." they both burst into laughter teasing him more on his foody habits...
