Preeti was working hard for Pundit's house. A lot had been done and some curtain work along with other furnishing was left for which she was having a discussion with Pundit.

Preeti : Pundit , maine curtains sofa cover aur cushions ke liye colour aur design select kiya hai. Agar tumhe pasand hai toh main kaam pura karwa deti hun.

Pundit : main kya dekhunga ,tum maa se hi select karwa lo.

Preeti : wo toh khud hi confuse thi , unhone kaha ki tumse puch lun.

Pundit scrunched his head : arey yaar , in sab me toh ladkiyan expert hoti hai.mujhe toh ladkiyon ki tarah har rang pasand hai.

Preeti couldnt stop herself from laughing : Tum na bilkul bhi nahi badle ho....aaj bhi waise hi ho jaise college me the.

Pundit smiled broadly : Chalo , mere bahane hi sahi ,tumhe hasne ka mauka toh mila....sach kehta hun Preeti , jab se aaya hun na ,tabse aaj pehli baar tumhe is tarah haste huye dekh raha hun.

Preeti soberred : Kya karun , life ne kayi saalon se khul ke hasne ka mauka diya hi nahi....par aaj teri baat sun ke hasi aa gayi..
Ab toh naukri bhi mil gayi , par chokri abhi tak nahi mili tujhe.

Pundit sulked : sharam nahi aati hai itne eligible bachelor ka mazak udare huye. Ye nahi ki khud hi mere liye dhund de.

Preeti laughed and teased : jiske liye dhundhni pade ,wo eligible kahe ka ? Itna eligible hai toh ladkiya khud hi bhagti huyi aayengi tere paas jaise Sameer ke liye aati hai.

Pundit frowned : Faida kya ? Usey jo chahiye wo toh muh phula ke bhaithi hai. Sari eligibility ki hekri nikal gayi.
Aa gaya unt pahad ke niche.

Preeti : hwww , bataungi usey ki tu kitni tarif kar raha tha.

Pundit : ...maine pehle hi uski class le rakhi hai....Tu jyada raita mat faila.

Preeti (shockingly ) : hww...main raita faila rahi hun.....chup kar pundit. Isiliye tujhe abhi tak ladki nahi mili hai kyunki humesha ulta hi sochta hai.
Chalo mujhe aur behes nahi karni hai , parde na tum khud hi dhund lena.

Pundit : arey arey gussa kyun ho rahi ho.....acha thik hai....sorry sorry......baat khatm karte hai na.ab apni behen ki tarah muh mat phula lena.

They patched up after a short nok jhok and it was after a long time that one could see the lively side of her, smiling ,fighting and being pampered in a friendly way.

Nanu was recovering and one of the most important factor in it was Sameer's presence and care. Though he was too busy in handling both Ahmedabad and Mumbai office ,but he made sure that he spends time with Nanu too. Breakfast and dinner was mostly done together and Nanu loved talking to him sharing various stuffs.

Nanu (while coming to the dinning table) : arey Ramdhari , aaj dinner me kya banaya hai.

Ramdhari : aaj Khana bhaiya ne banaya hai , isiliye baad me aap mujhpe mat bhadakna .

Nanu : kyaaaaa....Sameer ne banaya hai ? Achaaaa.

Sameer (coming to the table ) : Darne ki zarurat nahi hai ,khane layak hai.

Nanu (happily ) : arey mere nati , na bhi hoga ,phir bhi kha lunga.akhir tumne banaya hai....par ye bata shadi ke baad bhi tu hi banayega ya Naina ke hath ka naseeb hoga ?

Sameer (blushed ) : kya Nanu ,aap bhi . Naina college time me bhi acha khana banati thi. Maine bahut khaya hai.

Nanu teased : ab ye toh khane ke baad hi pata chalega. Kyunki ishq me duba hua insan ko kya samajh ayega ki khana acha hai ya kharab. Wo toh apni jaan ke hath se karela ko bhi rasgoolla samajh ke kha leta hai.

Sameer blushed and both started eating.

Nanu : waise teri aur Naina ki gadi kahan tak pahuchi ?

Sameer : abhi toh hari jhandi bhi nahi mili hai toh gadi jayegi kahan ?
Waise mujhe yakeen hai ki jaldi hi patri pe bhagegi.

Nanu : Waise tujhse ek baat puchni thi ?

Sameer : puchiye na Nanu .

Nanu : Tu wapas Mumbai jane ki soch raha hai kya ?

Sameer stopped eating and looked at him seriously.

Sameer : Jab tak aap thik nahi ho jatey hai tab tak toh main yahin hun. Uske baad dekhta hun.

Nanu : uske baad kya dekhna hai ? Naina ko chor ke chala jayega kya , ya usse puchega bhi nahi ki wo kya chahti hai ? Abhi toh mani bhi nahi hai. Ye jo dusra mauka mila hai , kya isey yun hi beech me chor ke chala jayega ?

Sameer continued to eat and spoke after few seconds : abhi kuch socha nahi hai Nanu , par itna keh sakta hun ki is baar aap dono ko sabse upar rakhunga. Usi hisab se koi faisla lunga.
Dekhte hai....Haan par iska matlab ye nahi hai ki aap apna khayal nahi rakhenge.

Nanu : arey bhai main thik hun.

Sameer : janta hun kitne thik hai...aapki umar ho gayi hai Nanu. Khas dhyan rakhna padega. Aur jyada chinta mat kiua kijiye. Sab thik hoga.

They talked and completed their dinner and later Sameer made Nanu sleep after attending to his medicines.

On the other side of the city, Naina was serving dinner for Rakesh and herself when Rakesh informed her : Arjun ne ghar lagbhag final hi kar liya hai. Gaon se jo paise jugad huye hai ,wo maine Arjun ko bhijwa diye hai. Aur mera jo PF ka paisa aaya hai ,wo tum apne account me dalwa do. Tumhare shadi ke liye rakhe hai.

Naina (surprisingly ) : aap apne sarey paise kyun baant rahe hai. Khud ke paas bhi toh rakhiye , baad me Bhaiya bhabhi ne apko pucha hi nahi toh kya unse paise mangte rahenge. Aur mujhe nahi chahiye paise.Aap apne account me hi dalwa dijiye aur apne liye rakhiye.

Rakesh : mere liye tum dono ho na ,kafi hai....aur

Naina interupted : ye galti mat kijiye papa. Aajkal itna bharosa bhi thik nahi hai.

Rakesh : Zindagi me maine kabhi koi galat kaam nahi kiya hai , baki uparwala dekhega....waise tum haan bolo toh Arjun ruk jayega. Pehle tumhari shadi ho jaye, phir ghar ki dekhenge. Waise bhi abhi wo bahu ke sath Shillong gaya hua hai. Official kaam me busy hai ,uske baad hi faisla lega.

Naina continued to eat and answered without looking : Aap bhaiya ko bol dijiye ki wo ghar le le.

Rakesh got annoyed : aur tum...kal ko main nahi raha toh kaise rahogi ? Baad me bhai bhabhi bhi nahi puchenge.

Naina kept listening quietly.

Rakesh (hesitantly) : agar tumhe bhi koi pasand hai toh bata dena . Koi dhang ka ladka hua toh sochenge.

Naina schokingly looked at him in disbelief. Rakesh understood her shock and said.

Rakesh : waqt ke sath chalne me hi samajhdari hai.
He finished with his food and while getting up said : jeetey ji tumhari shadi dekh lun ,phir main bhi nischint ho jaunga.

Saying so he got up , washed his hand and went to his room. Naina kept looking at him with guilt of not giving his desired happiness, but she was helpless since her heart never allowed her to think of marrying anybody else other than Sameer. But time had led her to a situation where she had lost all her desires and wishes.
