The pile of clothes in front of Sameer was getting bigger but he was not satisfied.
"Aise toh ho chuki shaadi chaar din mein... sun hero, agar tere kapdon mein hi saara din lag jayega toh baaki sabke kab lenge? Naina ke liye bhi lena hai... Anand, aisa kar koi aur aage ki tareekh dekh le... Sameer se chaar din mein shaadi nahi ho sakti." Phulla bua let out an exhausted rant, relaxing her back against the chair.
"Nahi, nahi, bua dadi... maine toh yeh kapde pasand kar bhi liye... bas abhi try karta hun... shaadi aage karne ki zaroorat nahi hai." He quickly picked up two outfits and rushed towards the trial room.
Anand and Bela smiled fondly at him while Phulla bua laughed triumphantly. Preeti chuckled, nudging Naina... and Naina blushed to the roots.
"Yeh ladka bhi na." Bela looked at Naina's red face.
Sameer tried a few suits... and they all agreed upon the midnight blue one, with a white shirt under it.
Next was a sherwani, that he had to wear at the time of phere. After trying a black and a gold one, he liked the one in white, with a thin gold band on the neck.
"Hayee, jijaji... isme toh aap bilkul hi Salman Khan lag rahe ho." Preeti dipped her head dreamily.
"Chup kar, nazar lagayegi kya?" Bela chided her.
"Bohot achhi lag rahi hai tumpe... haina buaji?" Anand praised his choice.
"Ekdum hero lag raha hai... chal ab jaldi se badal le fir Naina ka joda bhi dekh lete hain." Bua dadi instructed.
Sameer went back to the trial room to change... annoyed that Naina did not say a word... though her eyes had conveyed that she loved the sherwani.
"Chachaji... zara kisiko bhej denge... yeh sherwani phans gayi hai... mujhse nikal nahi rahi." His scream reached their ears in a few seconds.
"Anand, zara dekh usse kis cheez ke liye madad chahiye." Phulla bua told him.
"Arre nahi buaji, Naina ko bhejiye na... aakhir patni hai uski." Bela whispered in buaji's ears.
"Naina bitiya, jaa dekh toh Sameer ko kya chahiye." Phulla bua immediately complied.
Naina was baffled, "Main?"
"Haan aur nahi toh kya? Ab uske liye tu nahi jayegi toh bahar se kisi ko bulaun?" Bua dadi glared at her.
Naina quietly got up and went towards the trial room, hesitantly standing away from the closed door.
"Naina, tu khadi khadi dekh kya rahi hai... jaake madad kyon nahi karti Sameer ki?" Bela got up and quickly came to her.
Naina furrowed her brows, not sure what to tell chachiji.
"Ab jaa bhi." Bela almost pushed her towards the door.
"Sameer beta, Naina tumhari madad kar degi." She knocked on the door... asking Naina to go with an angry jerk of her head.
"Aaiye madam, aapka hi intezar tha." He winked the moment she stepped in.
"Tum yeh sab drama jo kar rahe ho na... sab samajh aa raha hai mujhe... lekin main bhi challenge nahi haarane wali... chahe jo ho jaaye." She narrowed her eyes at him.
"Main chahta bhi nahi ki tum haaro... main bas apna kaam kar raha hun." He started to open the buttons of his shirt.
Naina turned to go.
"Naina, theek se dekho... shayad yeh button kahi atak gaya hai... ahh... mujhe dard ho raha hai." He said loudly, for the benefit of chachiji.
"Dhyaan se beta, chot na lag jaaye." Bela's worried voice reached them.
