He came to his cabin and keep pacing from here and there angrily when phone rings... he picked up and said, "hello"... got extremely irritated listening the voice from the person who always prompt him against Naina... "voh kai dinon se phone par baat nahin huyi toh socha aaj kar lun... vaise kaisa hai tu aur tere Nanaji kaise hai... vahaan sab theek hai na... mujhe toh chinta hi lagi rehti hai.. ab humein toh doodh mein se makhkhi ki tarah uss ladki ne baahar phinkwa diya hai... chah kar bhi teri madad ke liye nahin aa sakte..."

Sameer replied, "par iss sab se Naina ko kya faayda hoga... property toh saari mere naam hai... Power of attorney bhi usne mujhe de di hai... mujhe aisa lagta hai aapko koi galatfahmi huyi hai shayad..." person on other side, "dekha maine kaha tha na ki tu usaki baaton mein phans jayega... kya pata kal ko tujhe bhi bewkoof bana kar sab hathiya le... dekh beta vaise bhi ab tu shaadi ke laayak hai... kya pata tere Nanaji kal ko us se hi teri shaadi karwa de... phir toh voh hi maalkin hogi na in sab ki... tu samajh raha hai na... chal baad mein baat karenge, tab tak kuchh sochna padega ki kaise iss ladki se tera pichha chhutaya jaaye..."

He too puts the receiver down and words echoed in his mind... "might be Nanu wants him to get married her" left a wide smile on his face, thinking, "kya sach mein aisa ho sakta hai... matlab mein aur Naina.... aaj pehli baar unki baat sun kar kuchh achchha sa feel ho raha hai..." he closed his eyes dreaming about her but again getting flashes of a big lawn... filled with people... a couple exchanging ring... laughing, dancing....

Soon he starts sweating, opened his eyes panting heavily, his head spins badly... suddenly he feels a soft hand rubbing his back, asking, "Sameer... Sameer kya hua... tum.. tumhein itne pasine kyun aa rahe hai... tum theek ho na..." she forwards a glass of water which he took and drink to calm his erratic breathing...

He sits back resting his head when she slowly pressed his head, giving massage from her soft palm on his forehead... a feel of calmness surrounds him... he again recall of his conversation of getting married with her, leaving a cute smile on his lips, thinking, "iske chhute hi saari tension chhu mantar ho jaati hai... kya jaadu hai yaar iske haathon mein..."

Seeing him smiling, she gets relieved and asked, "ab theek ho tum... kya hua tha achanak..." he lost in her eyes seeing her standing close to him.. he asked, "Naina kya kuchh samay pehle maine koi engagement party attend ki thi... kabhi bataya kya Nanu ne tumhein... pata nahin kuchh dhundhali si yaadein hai, kuchh tasveerein par kuchh samajh nahin aaya.."

She smiled inside but said with a blank face, "sorry Sir, mujhe nahin pata... yeh aapka personal matter hai... aap ghar jaakar Nanu se hi puchh lena...." she left cabin leaving him in confused... "ab kya hua.. aise achanak kyun chali gayi... aaj toh maine kitne pyaar se baat ki thi...... par ek baat hai jab bhi paas hoti hai ek sukoon sa milta hai... thodi der aur nahin ruk sakti thi...."

He smiled like a fool hitting on his forehead, "beta kuchh bhi mat soch... chal kaam kar... shaadi ki baat huyi nahin ki sagaai ke sapne dekhne laga..."

He stops working, thinking again, "par agar sach mein Nanu ne aisa socha toh... kya voh haan kahegi mere liye... matlab itna sab hone ke baad.... kitna dil dukhaya hai maine uska.."

His inner self rebuked him, "shakal toh theek hai bewkoof, par harkatein dekhi hai apni... haan kehna toh dur voh toh teri taraf mud ke bhi nahin dekhegi ... pehle sudhaar apne aap ko... bana apane aapko usake laayak phir dekhna sapne... bada aaya shaadi karega..."

His chain of thoughts break when accountant knock on the door to ask for his permission to come in... he forward a file of cheques to get signed by him as tomorrow is salary day for all staff... he signed all cheques and returned to him... he was leaving when Sameer called him back, "ek minute Mr Sharma... aapko nahin lagta kuchh cheques kam hain is mein.." he recounts and said, "nahin Sir.. poore staff ke hai... bas factory mein workers ko cash dete hai toh unka hisaab Munshiji khud rakhte hai... voh aapko separate report de denge..."
