Forever yours

Khoobsurat Raat

Part 7

Naina and Sameer were lost in each other's eyes. Sameer couldn't take his eyes off  of his new bride, according to Panditji. He smiled inwardly as there was much to happen before that actually happened in real. After this major step in life, he was quite content, as if he found his solace and was at peace. He was sure that now whatever happened, he was ready to face it as he had Naina in his life, his own personal miracle. He was such an idiot to not have seen through her before, when she had compromised her principles to save him from punishment due to smoking, wore her best dress for him on his birthday admitting that it was her special dress and how she wore it again 2 days back thinking he liked it. She even took the risk of facing her father's wrath for helping him in studies. Now, it was his turn to endure her wrath when that would come and still never leave her side, come what may.

Naina was so overwhelmed with emotions, she wanted to tell him so many things, pour out her heart to him that even though her family was always her priority, she was ready to fight the world to be with him. She could not believe that a guy like Sameer, who could befriend every and any girl in the school or as he liked to put it "Nainital se Ahmedabad tak", had just given his undying declaration of love to her, committed himself to her for eternity and was Forever Hers. All her dreams related to Sameer were just fulfilled and here she couldn't form one coherent sentence to say back those three magical words that always belonged to him as there was never anyone before Sameer she even gave a passing thought to, and there would never ever be another one. She had so willingly given her hand in his, although never a guy had touched her before, and knew he would always keep it safe and her trust in him intact.  But, she still felt so shy to complete the "You" and continued to stare into his eyes. Finally, mustering the much needed confidence, which his love for her provided, she started to say something.

Naina: Sameer, I.. but he interrupted her.

Sameer: Naina...just when he had finally gathered the courage to tell her about the bet, he saw MP, hastily climbing the temple stairs and calling out to him tailed by Swati.

MP: Sameer, chal yaar jaldi yahan se, woh ladke.....Sameer gave them a death glare and they stopped immediately not understanding why he didn't allow them to complete the sentence.

Just then Swati came up to Naina: Naina, ab chal jaldi, bahut der ho gayi hai, pataa hai na, andhera hone se pehle hostel pahuchna hai, warna Shanti teacher ko kya jawab denge!

Naina was disheartened that again their love moment was interrupted, but she decided to talk to him later at dinner and gave in when Swati started pulling her along.

Sameer continued to stare after her and was dispapointed that once again, the task was incomplete. He turned and looked at Shivji's idol. Kya kar rahe ho bhagwanji? He shook his head in dismay and went away along with MP.

At the hostel room Munna to Sameer: Kya? Tune ab tak Naina ko shart wali baat nahi batayi? Par kyon?

Pandit: Face palmed! Yaar, itni der se saare ulte seedhe hathkande apnakar humne unn ladkon ko mandir se durr rakha, taaki tu araam se Naina ko sach bataa sake aur use samjha sake. Par tune toh kuch bola hi nahi. Arre bhai, agar tune Naina ko sach nahi bataya toh itni der mandir mein tum log kya ghanta baja rahe the ya prasad baant rahe the? Hamari saari mehnat bekar ho gayi!

Sameer was in another world: Nahi yaar, kuch bekaar nahi hua... aaj toh meri life ka sabse achcha din hai! And he went on to describe whatever happened at the mandir.

MP were confused, amazed, and astonished sequentially at what his friend had just executed. He had completely fallen for that behenji, naaa...now bhabhiji. This thought crossed their mind at the same time and they slapped Sameer's back.
MP: Tou aakhir tune uss behenji ko hamari bhabhiji bana hi diya! Sameer smirked slightly and was elated that how easily his friends could accept his every action and be there for him always. They shared their trio hug.
