Sameer asked Munna with a hope : kya aisa ho sakta hai Munna. Kya Preeti humari madad karegi.
Munna : shayad....kyunki khone ka dard wo achi tarah samajhti hai. Pichle hafte usse baat huyi thi toh tum dono ki baat nikli thi...Uski baaton se ehsas hua ki wo bhi chahti hai ki tum dono phir se saath ho jao.
Sameer asked hopefully : Usne kuch bola kya ? Naina ke barey me kuch bataya kya?
Munna : Nahi kuch khas toh nahi...bas itna hi ki Naina tumse milna nahi chahti hai.
Sameer became sad : Yahi toh problem hai. Itne din se kohish kar raha hun ki baat karey. Atleast mujhpe apni bhadas hi nikal le. Par usne toh maun hi dharan kar liya hai.
Pundit : chinta mat kar ,jis din maun vrat tutega, toh tujhe maun dharan karna padega.
Sameer : Seh lunga. Par kuch toh bole.
Munna : wo kya bolegi ? Usne bahut kuch saha hai Sameer. Ye kehna asan hai ki 5 saal baad phir se nayi suruwat karte hai. Par is panch saal me logon pe kya beeti hogi ye sochna muskil hai Sameer.
Nayi suruwat ke liye pehle purane jhakhm bharne honge.
Sameer : Dard maine diya hai toh dawa bhi main hi dunga munna.
Munna : Naina ki atma mar gayi hai Sameer....wo chot kha kha ke pathar ban gayi hai.
Pundit : Pathar bhi pighalte hai munna ,unpe bhi nishan padte hai.
Munna smiled : Main toh khud chahta hun ki wo pighal jaye. Par purane jhakhm bharne honge.
Sameer : yaar aisa kya karun jo wo mujhse baat karne ko razi ho jaye.
Munna : uske dard pe marham laga. Jab dard kam hoga toh hi tujhe sunegi.
Sameer in 5-7 saalon me bahut kuch hua aur usne sab akele saha. Padhayi puri hone ke baad Uski family ne uspe shadi ka pressure diya. Suru me toh usne M.Com ke bahane khud ko do saal bacha liya.par uske baad unka pressure bahut badh gaya. Aur kyun na ho. Ladki hai. Zara soch ke dekh ki usne kaise samna kiya hoga is pressure ka.Aur har baar usne inkar kiya.
Gharwalon ko shaq hua toh baatein banne lagi. Aur taano ki suruwat ghar pariwar se hi hoti hai.
Sameer was listening to her story with full concentration and as he kept on feeling her pain ,it pained his heart too.
Munna : jab Naina baar baar inkar karti gyi toh gharwalon ne Peeeti ki shadi kar di.Halaki kismat ne kuch saalbaad uski khushi bhagwan ne cheen li. Par Preeti ki shadi ke baad toh logon ne kahaniyon ki hadd hi par kar di.....jitna main usey samajhta hun usse itna toh keh sakta hun ki usne sirf aur sirf tumse hi pyar kiya hai , aur aaj bhi karti hai. Bas us pyar ko waqt , samaj ke taano aur zindagi ki muskilon ne pathar bana diya hai.
Sameer : Pehle nahi samjha par ab samajh sakta hun ki usne sabka saamna kaise kiya hoga.
Pundit : Munna , Preeti se kab baat ho sakti hai.kya hum uske ghar pe ja sakte hai ? Usi bahane Sameer ko bhi le jaunga.shayad Naina se bhi mulakat ho jaye.
Munna gave a thought and then said : Yaar aise bina bataye jana toh thik nahi lagta hai. Ladkiyan hai na.Par main swati ki madad lene ki koshish karta hun. Abhi Preeti Naina ke ghar pe hai.Rakesh sir kuch din ke liye bhar gaye hai. Swati se bol ke kal ka time le leta hun.Yahi ek mauka hai.
Sameer : sach munna ! swati humari help karegi na.
Munna : Kyun nahi karegi ,aur nahi karegi toh karwaunga. ...Biwi hai meri.
Pundit : Oye Chenu ....jyada rob mat dikha , saamne aa jaye toh bolti band ho jati hai teri....I love you bolne ke liye toh Maine aur Sameer ne dhakkha mara tha. Tab ja ke aawaz nikli thi.
Munna : Dhakkha mar ke hi sahi , bol toh diya. Khud ko dekh , abhi tak ek ladki nahi dhund paya....aur
Sameer : kya kar rahe ho tum dono.Ye bakwas band karo aur kaam pe dhyan dete hai. Munna swati se pucho na.
Swati happily got ready to help them and she talked to preeti about Pundit 's renovation project for which she agreed. Hence a meeting was fixed for the next day at Naina 's home but this was not shared with her. Hence Naina was unknown to this plan.
.
.
It was around 5 in the evening next day when a car stopped infront of Naina's society and Sameer Munna Pundit got down from it. They scanned through the locality and tried to locate the way to her flat. The moment they reached near her flat a lady in her mid age scanned them and started her query.
Lady : kisse milna hai ?
Munna : ji mujhe Naina se milna hai ,wo jo pragati vidya ka mandir me padhati hai.
Lady : ooo Agrawal ji ki beti se milna hai....kya kaam hai ?
Sameer and pundit got irritated.
Pundit : wo hum aapko kyun bataye ?
Lady : arey bhai akeli ladki hai ,ab hum padosi dhyan nahi denge toh kaun dega.Shadi wadi ke liye aaye ho kya ?
Suddenly a voice boomed from behind and they turned to find Beena Taiji standing behind glaring at the lady.
Taiji (sarcastically) : O bai .Humare Naina ke toh bhagya hi khul gaye. Gharwalon se jyada padosiyon ko chinta hai uski. Uski chinta me din raat ghul rahe hai uske sarey padosi. Ne wah.
Lady : Sach hi toh hai . Do do ladkiyan hai ghar me ,wo bhi akeli. Aur ek toh bechari vidhwa bhi hai.Dhyan rakhna padta hai.
Even Sameer Munna pundit didnt like the statement and glared at the lady.
Taiji (angrily) : O bai...
Bahut bahut dhanyawad....par maaf kijiye, humari dono betiyan bacchi nahi hai.kafi samajhdar hai , Ghar bahar dono ki zimmedari ache se nibhati hai toh khud ka bhi dhyan rakh sakti hai. Itni chinta kar ke kyun apna BP badha rahi hai ?
Lady : main kyun kuch kahungi. Wo toh in ladko ko dekha toh puch liya. Acha chalti hun.
Saying so the lady ,turned and went her way.
Taiji now turned towards the men and asked munna : Tum toh Swati ke pati ho na ?
Munna : ji Taiji aur ye mere dost hai. Kaam ke silsile me Preeti se milne aaye hai.
Munna touched Taiji 's feet and Sameer and pundit too followed him.
Taiji : khush raho...waise kya kaam tha ?
Munna told her about pundit's home renovation.
Taiji turned to pundit and said : arey wah ghar ka kaam hai. Acha hai. Preeti ka bhi kaam suru ho jayega. Bahut mehnati ladki hai. Achi design degi wo. Tumhare gharwaley khush ho jayenge.
Ander aao....
Sameer whispered to them : Ye wahi Taiji hai na jiski baarey me ye dono batati thi ki bahut strict hai.
Pundit : Hai toh wahi...par badli badli si lag rahi hai.
Munna : chal dekhte hai.
Naina opened the door to find Taiji at the door but was shocked to see her followed by Sameer Munna and Pundit.
She looked at Sameer with open mouth ,who gave a smile with a smirk.what shocked her more was Taiji welcoming them and leading them inside ,making them sit comfortably.
Taiji : arey Naina ,muh kya dekh rahi hai. Munna ko nahi janti hai kya ? Ja sabke liye chai pani ka intzam kar.
Naina : Hi munna , kaise ho ?aur swati kaisi hai.
Munna : Wo Thik hai Naina. Par aaj kisi khas kaam se aaye hai....wo preeti se kaam tha. Usey Bulao na.
Naina (shockingly) : Haan bulati hun...wo washroom me hai...usey bol deti hun.
Taiji : Haan ....aur chai bhi chada de...aur thodi elaichi bhi daal dena.
When Naina went away , Sameer kept looking at her. Taiji then started saying : Rakesh Babu abhi bahar gaye hai , toh main beech beech me aa ke dekh leti hun....ladkiyan hai na.
Waise tum dono yahan nahi rehte ho kya ?
Pundit : ji mera abhi ek hafte pehle yahan transfer hua hai. Main bank me probationery officer hun.
Though taiji didnt understand but gave an understanding nod and looked at Sameer.
Sameer : Aur main bhi abhi kuch din pehle hi yahan aaya hun.Mere Nanaji yahin rehte hai. Jaiprakash Maheshwari.
Taiji : Ohhh acha...Maheshwari ji... Naina ke tauji ke muh se naam suna hai.
Waise Munna ab tum toh Naina ke dost bhi ho aur Swati ke pati bhi toh tumse toh keh sakti hun....Naina ke liye koi ladka ho toh batana.....kab tak ghar me bitha ke rakhenge. Wo toh raazi hi nahi hoti hai par aise akele thodi na chor denge.
This made Sameer jerk and he started coughing badly.
Taiji : Kya hua beta.....arey Naina jaldi pani la. Kitna time lagta hai.
Naina immediately came with a glass of water and forwarded it to Sameer.He took the glass keeping his gaze fixed on her face. Naina saw him gazing at her and she averted her face and went away.
Taiji to Sameer : Beta tumhare Nanaji toh bahut bade aadmi hai ,unse kehna na ki humari Naina ke liye koi acha rishta bataye.
Munna grabbed the chance : Ha ha taiji , zarur batayenge. Main aaj hi unse kahunga.unke paas toh ek bahut hi acha rishta hai...apni Naina ke liye ekdum perfect hai. Aur jodi bhi bahut achi lagegi. Kyun pundit thik kaha na.
Pundit : Ha ha...ekdum Taiji....aap chinta mat kijiye. Ab Sameer aa gaya hai na toh shadi bhi ho jayegi.
Taiji (shockingly) : O bai....kya matlab.
Munna : mm.. iska matlab hai ki Taiji ,aapne Sameer se keh diya na toh bas chinta chor dijiye.
Sameer : aap tension mat lijiye.....jaldi hi sabka intzar khatm hoga.
The meeting got interrupted by Preeti 's entry who entered and wished everyone. She had earlier met Munna and Sameer both , it was first time after her college that she was meeting Pundit. Pundit too looked at her intently and was trying to read her whose face showed sadness and lonliness.
Preeti : Hi Pundit...kaise ho. Bahut din baad mil rahi hun tumse.
Pundit : Main thik hun...tum batao. Kaisi ho.
Taiji : Tum dono ek dusre ko jante ho ?
Munna : Taiji humsablog ek hi school college me padhe hai toh pehle se jante hai.
Taiji happily : ohh acha....phir toh acha hai. Hume bhi chinta nahi rahegi jab preeti kaam karegi .
Naina entered with a tray containing tea and snacks.
Naina : Kaisa kaam Taiji ?
Munna told her and preeti about the project and all looked at Preeti while Naina looked at Sameer who glanced at her at the same time, both sharing a very short eye lock.
