IN SEARCH OF HER...

EPILOGUE

Loud claps resonated in the entire hall while the Maheshwari and Agarwal couple wiped their happy tears. Reyansh stood there with a smile on his face. He was the only one who had stood strong by Sameer's side and had seen his struggles in his professional as well his personal life.

After watching Sameer and Naina's happy moments, everyone present in the hall cheered for them. The coach too admired the couple. The teammates whistled and hooted and continued shouting, "Party... party... party..."

Sameer and Naina stood happily and graciously accepted all the good wishes. Few questions were posed by the reporters about their relationship which they answered happily turn by turn. Naina had been a little conscious while replying but Sameer wrapped his arm around her waist and murmured, "Just be yourself Naina... Daro mat... main hun yahaan tumhare saath."

They continued posing and answering for another few minutes and while everyone was enjoying the party after the interview session was over, Sameer pulled Naina towards the dressing room. That was the only place where they could get some privacy for now. He was so desperate to be with her alone.

Before leaving, Sameer turned and nodded in Reyansh's direction who got his silent message. Naina didn't get any chance to look around and find her parents as Sameer rushed her out of the hall.

As soon as they reached the dressing room, Sameer locked the door. Naina looked on confused, "Darwaaza kyun band kar rahe ho? Aur tum... tum mujhe yahaan aise kyun lekar aaye? Tumhare teammates ko agar yeh dressing room use karna hoga toh? Sab hume wahaan dhoondenge Sameer."

Sameer took slow steps in her direction, "Abhi yahaan koi nahi aayega Naina, sab busy hai party karne mein? Aur main tumhe yahaan kyun laaya aur darwaaza band kyun kiya, uska jawaab tumhe abhi thodi der mein mil jaayega. Aur hume koi dhoondhne bhi nahi aayega. Ab itne acche proposal ke baad mera bhi toh thoda haqq banta hai meri fiancé ke saath akele time spend karne ka. Waise bhi main peechle kuch dino se practice mein busy tha, thik se dekh bhi nahi paata tha tumhe."

Naina smiled yet was a little worried, "Haan... main jaanti hun hum peechle kuch dino se thik se mile nahi hai, par aise sab ke saamne se achanak gaayab ho jaana, mujhe thik nahi lag raha Sameer. Sab kya sochenge hamare baare mein?"

"Koi kuch nahi sochega aur tum itna tension kyun le rahi ho? Main hun naa yahaan tumhare saath. Jo hoga wohh baad mein ek saath dekh lenge. Par abhi filhaal mujhe meri Naina ko acche se dekhna hai.", Sameer reasoned.

"Sameer... tum mujhe pehle yeh baatao ki tumne wohh note padha tha ya nahi? Aur wohh Soniya ka achanak se yun maafi maangna, mujhe kuch samajh nahi aa raha Sameer. Please bataao aisa kya hua ki wohh madam aise sabke saamne shareef ladki bann gayi aur maafi maangne lagi?", Naina asked the obvious that was disturbing her since Soniya apologized in front of the media.

Sameer unheard her questions and continued walking towards her. Naina saw through his burning gaze and realized why he had brought her here. He wanted her. She could see that clearly in his dark orbs. They hadn't spent any alone time since last few days and now, both of being alone here in the dressing room clearly pointed towards his not so innocent intentions.

Naina glanced around the dressing room. At one corner there were five shower cubicles with huge clothes-hanging shelves and lockers just in front of them. She noticed the seating arrangement which were available for more than 25 people. Her gaze lingered on the massage table at another corner for more than a few seconds and she took a deep breath.

Sameer's intention to bring her in the dressing room was quite clear. As soon as he stood in front of Naina, he pulled her straight in his arms and kissed her passionately. She got no time to react as everything happened so quickly.

The moment she realized her position, she surrendered completely to the charming captain who had stolen her heart at their first meet at Marine Drive. The kiss was rough and sensual at the same time. Sameer continued to kiss her ravenously and slowly led her towards the massage table. Naina had no idea where they were headed to. She could only feel his lips that had now started wandering towards her jaw, neck and shoulder.

The moment Naina's lower back touched the massage table, Sameer stopped and locked his gaze with hers. Without breaking their eye-lock, his hands got to work. He slowly undressed her while peppering her with kisses, making her go weak on her knees.

Naina had never imagined in her dreams that she would make love with Sameer in the dressing room at the football stadium and that too, when they were surrounded by hundreds of people outside.

Naina let go of all her inhibitions and she too pulled his jersey up with one single move. Sameer too had wanted her to let go of her shyness that he was quite fond of now, just for once. He saw her eyes darken as her hands worked on taking down his pants.

As they stood facing each other in their naked state, Sameer closed the distance in one long stride and pinned her to the massage table. Leaning towards her ear, he whispered, "Ab pataa chala ki main tumhe yahaan kyun laaya hun and maine darwaaza kyun band kiya Naina?"

Even after being with him for so many weeks, she still shivered with his proximity. Everything still felt new as if she is with him for the very first time.

Sameer continued, "Jab se tumse pyaar kiya hai, maine bohot baar socha tha ki aise dressing room mein tumhare saath mujhe kab aise akele rehne ka mauka milega. Tum aise bhi samajh sakti ho ki yeh meri ek fantasy bhi thi, jo aaj main poori karna chahta hun. Aur aaj ki trophy jeetne ke baad mujhe koi gift milna chahiye naa? Toh iss-se badhkar aur kya gift ho sakta hai mere liye."

Looking deeply in her eyes and cupping her face, Sameer asked, "Toh mujhe mera gift milega naa abhi?" Naina was lost in his husky voice and his closeness was not helping either. No words came out, so she just nodded in reply and hugged him shyly.

The bold girl that had made an appearance while undressing him had vanished instantly only with his few words. "Hamare paas time bohot kamm hai Naina...", he whispered once again and started his ministrations.

Naina was turned around swiftly. Her hands held the massage table while Sameer took his position behind her and entered her in one single stroke making her scream his name. Ohhh... how he loved to hear her moaning his name.

The next few minutes the dressing room witnessed two lovers soaking themselves in each other. The only sound that resonated in the whole room was of their lovemaking. Nothing mattered to them except for each other. They were basking in their own little world.

When they climaxed together, Sameer leaned on her completely and held her tight as her legs were shaking. When they calmed down from their ecstasy after a few minutes, Sameer asked, "Tum... tum thik ho Naina?"

Finally, Sameer and Naina stood up straight and faced each other. She nodded in reply while he just shook his head and picked her in his arms. While walking towards the shower cubicles, he asked, "Naina... ab har baar tum aise hi sharmaaogi toh kaise chalega? Mujhe... mujhe wohh pehli baar waali Naina dekhni hai. Yaad hai naa, main kab ki baat kar raha hun?"

Naina furrowed her brows, "Uss hotel room ki baat kar rahe ho? Jab... jab maine tumse wohh... wohhh...", she stammered making him chuckle. Sameer replied naughtily, "Haan... uss raat ki baat kar raha hun. Yaad hai naa ki kaise tumne mujhe seduce kiya tha?"

At the door of the shower cubicle, Naina got down to her feet, "Achaa... maine tumhe seduce kiya tha Sameer Maheshwari? Baat toh aise kar rahe ho jaise ki tum mujh mein interested hi nahi the."

Poking her finger at his chest, she continued, "Uss raat main... main thode nashe mein thi, isliye thodi bold ho gayi thi." When Sameer raised his eyebrows and stared, she accepted, "Haan... haan... thik hai... aise ghooro mat. Main maanti hun ki maine tumhe thoda sa seduce kiya tha uss raat, par meri jagah koi aur bhi hota toh wohh bhi wohi karta. Tum ho hi itne handsome and charming ki koi waisa chance kaise haath se jaane de sakta tha?"

Naina bit her lip as she realized what she had spoken out loud. Sameer smirked, "Toh main bohot handsome aur charming hun, huh? Isliye tumne mujhe seduce kiya tha?"

"Tum naa bohot baatein karte ho, ab chalo... sab hamare liye baahar wait kar rahe honge, shaayad dhoondh bhi rahe ho.", she tried to change the topic and get past him.

But Sameer being Sameer, didn't let her go. He held her hand and hugged her from behind, "Naina... mujhe wohh waali Naina waapis chahiye, jo haqq se mere saath apni saari wishes share karti hai."

"Tumhe toh meri saari wishes paata hai naa Sameer, fir abhi aise kyun bol rahe ho?", she asked uncertainly. She didn't know why he had brought that topic up right now.

"Naina... uss bucket list mein likhi hui sabhi wishes ke alaawa, mujhe wohh wishes bhi jaanni hai, jo uss list mein tumne nahi likhi thi. Jaise uss raat tumne mujhse ek wish poori karne ko kahaa tha." Sameer wanted to fulfil all her wishes, even those that weren't written in that bucket list.

Naina turned in his arms, "Sameer... aage poori zindagi hai hamare saamne meri saari wishes poori karne ke liye. Aur waise bhi... itni jaldi kya hai... tumhe dheere dheere meri ankahi wishes bhi pataa chal jaayengi, jaise abhi mujhe ek wish poori karni hai."

Saying that, she pushed him in the shower cubicle and followed him inside. Going on her knees, she took his little man in her mouth and sucked.

Sameer couldn't believe what was happening. He inhaled sharply. From shy mode, his Naina had turned to the bold one suddenly which was one of the main reasons that he had fallen head over heels in love with her. He groaned as she found her rhythm as his hands kept guiding her from time to time.

God... he was in heaven. Sameer definitely was in luck today as his two main fantasies were granted back-to-back. He had fallen in love with her once again. Soon he climaxed and he pulled her up in his arms.

He whimpered, "Naina..." She turned on the faucet of shower and the water gushed on them instantly.

History repeated as she took the loofah with few drops of the body wash on it and rubbed it sensuously on his now wet skin. Sameer groaned yet again. What was this girl upto? Why was she trying to seduce him again? He had already climaxed twice and now; they didn't have much time before they would have to make their appearance in the party happening outside in the hall.

"Naina... yeh... yeh kya kar rahi ho tum?", he asked hoarsely. Her hands continued its work and she replied, "Wohi jo tumne abhi thodi der pehle kahaa... tumne hi kahaa naa ki tumhe pehle waali Naina chahiye, toh main bas thodi uski jhalak dikha rahi thi tumhe captain."

Taking the loofah from her hand, Sameer too brushed it on her skin and bathed her. Their gazes locked on each other while bathing each other. Turning off the faucet, he spoke huskily, "Baaki ki picture hamare ghar mein karenge. Abhi baahar jaana hoga, varna koi naa koi hume dhoondhte dhoondhte yahaan aa jaayega."

As Sameer finished speaking, his phone rang. Wrapping towels around their bodies, they rushed outside to dress up again. When his mobile rang again, he cursed, "Reyansh ka call hai, iska matlab sab hume dhoondh rahe hai. Naina... chalo jaldi."

Naina glared at him, "Ab mujhse yeh jaldi jaldi ready hone ko mat kaho tum. Tumhe kisne kahaa tha yahaan itne adventurous banne ke liye? Raat tak nahi ruk sakte the? Main kahin bhaagi jaa rahi thi kya?"

Helping her to zip her top, Sameer teased, "Achaa... bol toh aise rahi ho jaise sirf main hi akele enjoy kar raha tha? Bataaun abhi kaise kaise aur kitni baar mera naam liya hai tumne?"

Naina hit him on his shoulder, "Tum naa bohot boore ho, sach mein. Mujhe lagaa tum mujhe yahaan Soniya ke baare mein bataane laaye ho. Par khair chodo, abhi chalo baahar, warna hamare parents aur baaki sab yahin aa jaayenge."

Sameer hit his head, "Arey haan... main toh tumhe Soniya ke baare mein bataana hi bhool gaya. Abhi pehle baahar chalte hai, baad mein Soniya ke baare mein baat karenge." Within few minutes, they were ready and left the dressing room hurriedly.

As they approached the hall, they noticed Reyansh pacing at the entrance which definitely wasn't a good sign. As soon as they reached him, he glared at the two most important people of his life.

"Tum dono ko pataa bhi hai ki tum dono ke aise achanak chale jaane se mujhe yahaan kitni problem ho rahi hai? Jo dekho aakar mujhse hi pooch raha hai ki tum dono kahaan ho? Aur main yeh sabko kehte kehte thak gaya ki Sameer ne Naina ke liye koi surprise plan kiya hai, isliye wohh usse le gaya hai.", Reyansh's annoyance was at its peak.

Sameer and Naina shared a look while holding back their laughter. It looked like their big brother was pissed with them terribly. Reyansh gauged their look and glared again, "Tum dono andar chalo abhi, baaki ki class mein baad mein lunga."

Controlling their laughter, Sameer and Naina entered the hall and mingled with the crowd. They met their parents too who were already discussing about their wedding arrangements. Reyansh too had joined that small group on Naina's insistence. It was one thing to get close to Sameer and Naina and make a lifetime bond but he had never dared to be a part of Sameer or Naina's family. To his luck, he was now a part of their families too. He wasn't alone now.

Sameer asked his mother, "Mummy... waise hume yeh nahi pataa tha ki Naina ke mummy-papa bhi yahaan aanewaale hai. Yeh toh hamare plan mein bhi nahi tha?" Vishakha chuckled, "Yeh tum dono ke liye surprise tha. Hum chaahte the ki jab tum sabke saamne Naina ko shaadi ke liye poocho, toh uske parents bhi yahin ho."

Vivek added, "Haan... itne important mauke par hum inhe yahaan bulaana kaise bhool sakte the? Unka bhi haqq hai ki wohh apni beti ki khushi mein shaamil ho. Waise yeh sujhaav humne Reyansh ke saath share kiye tha aur usse khaaskar chup rehne ko kahaa tha. Hum sab jaante hi hai ki wohh humse jyaada tumse wafaadaar hai."

Sameer turned, "Tumhe yeh sab pataa tha Reyansh?" He agreed with a nod, not at all feeling bad about keeping it a secret from his boss cum friend for once. Naina stood next to him, "Thank you Reyansh, mere parents ko yahaan sahi salaamat laane ke liye aur itne important mauke ka hissa banaane ke liye."

Reyansh smiled yet reprimanded, "Ab yeh thank you ka raag tum dono aage se mere saamne mat chalaana. Ab ek mera dost hai aur ek meri behen, toh ab se kabhi bhi mujhe thank you yaa sorry bolne ki zarurat nahi hai. Samjhe tum dono?", he pointed towards them.

Sameer and Naina agreed and gave him a hug together. The Maheshwari and Agrawal couple were happy with the little drama unfolding before their eyes, afterall they too had got Reyansh as another family member.

"Waise mujhe yeh samajh nahi aa raha ki Soniya ne yahaan sabke saamne tumse maafi kyun maangi? Aisa kya hua ki usne tumhara peecha itne aasaani se chod diya Sameer?", Reyansh finally questioned his boss cum friend.

Sameer looked around and replied, "Hum yeh sab akele mein baat karenge. Abhi yahaan media waale bhi hai. Let's enjoy the party for now." As he finished speaking, he was called by his teammates and soon, they were again mingling with the guests.

Finally, the party wrapped up after midnight and soon they too left the hall and headed to Sameer's place. The Agarwals' wanted to go to their house but the Maheshwari couple insisted to spend this happy night with them at their mansion.

As they reached home, everyone freshened up and got together in their living room as they had too much to talk and share with Naina and Reyansh. The main highlight of the night relating to Soniya was still not known to them.

Sameer sat next to Naina and started, "Naina... jab tum Reyansh ko bataa rahi thi ki kyun hume hamara plan rokna chahiye, wohh sab maine sunn liya tha. Par itna time nahi tha mere paas ki main tum dono se koi baat kar saku."

"Jab breaktime hua, tab maine tumhari kahi baaton par acche se socha. Tum jo keh rahi thi, uss-se main bohot hadd tak sehmat tha. Jab mujhe wohh note mila, mujhe already pataa tha uss mein tumne kya likha hoga."

Sameer looked around at everyone and continued, "Fir wohh ceremony ke baad maine staff se kehkar Soniya aur uske parents ko VIP section mein bulaaya. Naina... tumhari baatein sunne ke baad main media ke saamne koi tamasha nahi karna chaahta tha. Isliye unse alag hi baat karna mujhe sahi lagaa. Yeh sab mein main tumhe durr rakhna chahta tha Naina, aur Reyansh ko isliye kuch nahi bataaya kyunki main jaanta tha ki ek wohi hai jo mere absence mein tumhara dhyaan rakhega aur tumhe akela nahi chodega."

Glancing at Reyansh once, Sameer continued, "Jab Soniya uske parents ke saath aayi, toh wohh bohot hi excited thi. Usse sach mein lag raha tha ki main usse shaadi karnewaala hun."

FLASHBACK BEGINS...

"Sameer... main aaj bohot khush hun. Aaj finally wohh din aa hi gaya jab tum sab ke saamne mujhe shaadi ke liye propose karoge. I am so happy Sameer... aakhirkaar tumne maan hi liya ki mujhse jyaada pyaar tumse koi kar hi nahi sakta.", Soniya continued her excited speech while all the three set of parents were looking on.

The Maheshwari and Agarwal couple were already aware of what was about to happen but the Ahuja couple weren't satisfied with what their daughter was saying. They could clearly see that Sameer wasn't affected at all hearing their daughter's words. They glanced at each other. They instantly knew that Sameer didn't love Soniya and he hadn't invited them for any marriage proposal.

Soniya looked around and saw another couple standing next to Sameer's parents. She asked, "Yeh log kaun hai? Aur yahaan kya kar rahe hai? Inhe pataa bhi hai naa ki yeh VIP section hai? Aise hi koi bhi aira-gaira nahi aa jaa sakta yahaan?"

That was it. Sameer lost it completely as Soniya tried to insult Naina's parents. "Bas... bas Soniya... bohot bol liya tumne. Ab tum sirf aur sirf meri baatein sunogi."

Turning to her parents, Sameer apologized, "I am sorry... Neelam aunty and Pritam uncle. Maine pehle bhi kahaa tha ki main Soniya se shaadi nahi karna chaahta, par aapki beti yeh samajhne ko taiyaar hi nahi hai. Tab se ab tak mere peeche padi hai. Kitne phone calls, kitne messages chode hai aapki beti ne, jiske maine kabhi reply nahi diye."

Looking at Soniya finally, he said, "Soniya... ek baat baar baar karna mujhe pasand nahi hai. Fir bhi main tumse yeh waapis keh raha hun. Main... Sameer Maheshwari... tumse pyaar nahi karta... itni simple si baat tumhe kyun samajh nahi aa rahi? Mujhe tum par bohot gussa aaya tha, jab mujhe pataa chala ki wohh tum ho jiski wajah se meri Naina mujhse durr hui thi. Hamare beech saari misunderstandings tumne create ki thi. Aur tumne saari lines tab cross ki jab tv par tumne khudko meri girlfriend aur lover bataaya. How dare you do that Soniya? How dare you?"

Soniya had no regrets whatsoever about what she had done, "Maine wohi kiya jo tumhare liye sahi tha Sameer. Tum... Sameer Maheshwari... sirf aur sirf mere ho... Tum uss do takke ki ladki ke liye mera pyaar nahi thukra sakte Sameer. Uss Naina mein hai kya, jiske liye tum itne mare jaa rahe ho? Mujhe dekho... Main har level par Naina se bohot acchi hun... Main tumhari uss Naina se bohot beautiful hun, main tumhare family status ko match karti hun, uss Naina ki tarat middle class family se nahi hun. Look at me Sameer, I am far better than her..."

Sameer laughed hysterically surprising the rest of the people present there, "Tum... Tum... Soniya... tumhari meri Naina ke saath koi comparison hi nahi hai. You know what... let me just spill it out for you... Tum Naina se jyada beautiful samajhti ho khudko, par aisa nahi hai Soniya. Sirf bahaari khoobsurti important nahi hoti, dil se, mann se bhi khoobsurat hona chahiye, jo tum nahi ho. Meri Naina... tumse har level mein bohot aage hai. Tum status ki baat kar rahi ho naa? Toh bataao mujhe, tumhara khudka kya hai? Jo bhi naam aur paisa hai, wohh toh tumhare parents ka hai, unki mehnat ki kamaai hai. Inn sab mein tumhara status kya hai? Tumhara status bas itna hai ki tum Ahuja family ki beti ho, khudka koi status nahi hai tumhara. Jab ki meri Naina apne balpar job kar rahi hai, apni family ko support kar rahi, apni mehnat se."

Sameer chuckled, "Soniya... tum meri Naina ke aas paas bhi nahi ho. Meri Naina tumse har level mein tumse aage hi hai, aur hamesha aage hi rahegi. Tum sunna chaahti ho ki aaj maine tumhe yahaan kyun bulaaya tha? Main tumhe koi shaadi ka proposal nahi dene waala tha. Maine yahaan tumhe bulaaya tha, taaki main yahaan sab media waalon ke saamne tumhari sacchai laa saku. Poori duniya ka bataana chaahta tha ki kaise tumne mere baare mein sab galat rumors spread kiye hai, kaise tumne mujhe aur Naina ko alag kiya tha. Maine sab acche se plan kiya tha, par main mere plan ko anjaam nahi de paaya. Jaanti ho kyun? Kisne roka yeh sab hone se?"

Sameer looked at the Ahuja couple, "Meri Naina nahi chaahti thi ki main Soniya ko media ke saamne expose karu. Wohh nahi chaahti thi ki Soniya ki ki gayi galtiyon ki sazaa aap dono ko mile uncle-auntie."

He turned towards Soniya again, "Naina nahi chaahti thi ki main media ke saamne tumhari image, tumhara character, tumhari family ki reputation kharaab karu. Uska kehna tha ki tum aakhir ek ladki ho, jo bhi aaj hoga usse tumhari life, tumhare parents ki itni mehnat se khadi ki gayi reputation, sab kharaab ho jaayega. Naina nahi chaahti thi ki main tumhari life kharaab karne ka reason banu."

Sameer taunted, "Dekha Soniya... tumne kya kya nahi kiya Naina ke saath, fir bhi aaj agar tum yahaan sab ke saamne khadi ho, uski wajah sirf meri Naina hai. Warna abhi tak toh maine media ke saamne tumhara poora kaccha-chittha khol diya hota. Fir tum socho, tumhara kya hota, tumhare parents ka kya haal hota? Yeh sab tum nahi sochogi, kyunki tum selfish ho Soniya... tum sirf khud ke baare mein soch sakti ho. Dusron ke baare mein sochna is not your forte. Tumne itna sab kiya, kya ek baar tumne socha ki iss sabka tumhare parents par kya asar hoga?"

Pointing towards Naina's parents, Sameer continued, "Tum jinhe aira-gaira bol rahi thi naa, wohh meri Naina ke mummy-papa hai. Toh aage se bohot soch samajhkar bolna. Main khudka insult seh sakta hun, par meri Naina ka, mere aur Naina ke parents ka insult bardaasht nahi karunga Soniya... Agar tumhe abhi bhi meri baatein samajh nahi aa rahi, toh abhi bhi der nahi hui hai. Mere interview ke liye sab mera wait kar rahe honge. Main abhi bhi media ko sab bataa sakta hun. Aage se meri Naina ko yaa hamare parents ki taraf ungli bhi uthaai naa, toh main sach mein bhool jaaunga ki tum ek ladki ho aur mujhe tumhari life kharaab nahi karni hai. Main sabke saamne ek last time tumse keh raha hun ki main tumse pyaar nahi karta. Aur agar aage tumne koi bhi ulti-seedhi harkat ki, toh tum Sameer Maheshwari ka wohh roop dekhogi, jo kabhi kisine nahi dekha hai ab tak. Tab main Naina ki bhi koi baat nahi sununga, samjhi tum?"

Soniya cried, "Sameer... please... please... aisa mat bolo... dekho... main... main tumse bohot pyaar karti hun. Please Sameer... mujhe aise mat chodo... main... main tumhare bina nahi reh sakti Sameer... please... please mujhse shaadi karlo... Main... main badal jaaungi... ekdum Naina jaisi bann jaaungi... please Sameer... main... main tumse bohot pyaar karti hun... I love you Sameer... please mujhse shaadi karlo... please mujhse shaadi karlo..."

The Ahuja couple came ahead and helped their daughter to get on feet. Before she could say more, Neelam slapped her hard, twice. Soniya wasn't ready to give up on Sameer and after hearing what their daughter had done with Sameer and Naina, they couldn't just let it go. Soniya had no right to play dirty in other's relationship.

The Ahuja couple were aware and had understood that Sameer would never love their daughter. But their daughter wasn't ready to take that rejection.

Neelam Ahuja spoke, "Soniya... yeh kya kar rahi ho tum? Paagal ho gayi ho kya? Sameer hamesha se tumhe shaadi ke liye manaa kar raha hai. Usne kitni baar clearly kahaa hai ki wohh tumse pyaar nahi karta, fir kyun uske peeche padi ho? Shukar hai uss Naina ka jiski wajah se aaj Sameer ne yeh sab media ke saamne nahi kiya, warna pataa nahi abhi hum sab ka kya haal hota. Tumhe kuch samajh bhi aa raha hai kya?"

Pritam Ahuja spoke, "Soniya... humne tumhe aisi parvarish toh nahi di thi, par shaayad hamari hi galti hai ki humne tumhari saari wishes poori ki, wohh wishes bhi jo hume nahi karni chahiye thi. Aaj jo tum bann gayi ho, iss mein hamara hi kasoor hai. Humne hi tumhe sar par chadhaaya hai, isliye aaj tum itni ziddi aur matlabi ho gayi ho. Sab hamara hi kasoor hai Neelam, sab hamari parvarish ki wajah se hi ho raha hai."

Soniya tried to speak something, but this time she was slapped by her father, "Ab bas... ek aur shabd nikla naa tumhari zubaan se toh main tumhe ghar se nikaal dunga. Na koi paise milenge, na koi freedom. Tumne bohot faayda utha liya hamara, ab wohh hoga jo hum kahenge. Tumhari wajah se hum pehle hi bohot sharminda hai, ab tum wohi karogi jo hum tumse karne ko bolenge."

He continued, "Tumhe Sameer se, aur yahaan sab se maafi maagni hogi. Aur khaaskar Naina se. Tum galat hone ke baawajud bhi usne tumhari life kharaab nahi hone di. Aaj media ke saamne agar tumne sabse maafi nahi maangi, toh tum aaj se ghar nahi aaogi. Bhool jaana ki tumhare koi parents bhi hai."

Soniya stared at her parents who were her world. She loved them immensely. Sameer walked to her and gave her a note, "Isse padho... shaayad tab tumhe yakeen ho jaaye ki Naina sach mein tumhara bhala hi chaahti thi."

Soniya trembled when she read that note. She sat on her knees and cried. No one knew what she was planning to do next.

Sameer knew that he was getting late for the interview. So he walked out with his and Naina's parents without giving another glance to Soniya and her family.

FLASHBACK ENDS...

Naina and Reyansh stared at Sameer. Had he really done all of this on his own? Here, they were worried if he had read that note or not, but it seemed that Sameer had already heard their conversation and made up his mind to stop the plan himself and handle it without them.

"Sameer... tum nahi jaante ki ki hume kitni tension ho rahi thi? Hume tumse baat karne ka koi mauka nahi milne waala tha, isliye wohh note likha. Par lagta hai, bhagwaan bhi yahi chaahte the ki hum uss Soniya ko media ke saamne expose naa kare, isliye tumne hamari baatein pehle hi sunn li.", Naina sighed in relief.

Reyansh replied, "Naina... sach mein maine tumhari jaisi ladki pehli kabhi nahi dekhi. Soniya ne itna kuch kiya tum dono ke saath, fir bhi tumne uski life, uske parents ke baare mein socha, yeh bohot badi baat hai Naina."

Vishakha added, "Bilkul sahi keh rahe ho Reyansh. Hume bhi nahi lagaa tha ki Naina aisa kuch karegi. Soniya ki galtiyon ko nazar andaaz karke, uski life aur parents ke baare mein sochna, bohot himmat ka kaam hai."

"We are proud of you Naina. Jo aaj tumne kiya, wohh koi nahi kar sakta tha.", Vivek said looking at her parents, "Yeh sab aapki di hui seekh aur parvarish hai Anand ji, Bela ji, jiski wajah se Naina ne aaj uss Soniya ko maaf kar diya."

Anand and Bela's eyes teared up as they heard what everyone had spoken about their selfless daughter. "Hume naaz hai hamari beti par... We all are very proud of you beta...", Anand got emotional while Bela cheered him up, "Bhagwaan jhooth naa bulaaye... kya aap bhi... yeh koi rone ka time nahi hai, hume toh abhi hamari Naina ki shaadi ki sab taiyaariyaan shuru karni hai. Yeh aansoon aap Naina ki bidaai ke liya bachaa ke rakhiye ji..."

Naina got up from her seat and sat down on her knees in front of her parents, "I love you mummy-papa... Maine wohi kiya jo aapne mujhe sikhaaya hai. Aage bhi kabhi meri wajah se yaa hum mein se kisi ki wajah se kisi aur ki life kharaab nahi hone deni chahiye, iska main poora khayaal rakhungi. Aapne hi toh sikhaaya hai ki logon ko dusra mauka dena chahiye. Aur aaj agar hum Soniya ko media ke saamne expose kar dete, toh uss mein aur hum mein kya farak reh jaata? Maine wohi kiya jo mujhe sahi lagaa."

Naina hugged her parents and soon, everyone retired to their rooms. The Maheshwari couple had already called the priest the next day for deciding Sameer and Naina's marriage date...

ONE YEAR LATER...

"Sameer... please... tum... tum yeh kya kar rahe ho? Dekho... bohot mushkil se main swim karna sikh rahi hun aur tum ho ki mujhe yun baar baar disturb kar rahe ho.", Naina chastised him for the tenth time.

But Sameer still continued to tease her and disturb her when she was trying to go underwater for at least ten seconds.

Naina had joined swimming classes three months back. She still wasn't much confident under water. On the occasion of their first wedding anniversary, Sameer had taken her to their farmhouse in Lonavala which had a beautiful swimming pool. So, Naina was trying to show her darling husband how much she had learnt to swim and if he too could help her.

But Sameer wasn't in any mood to help her learn swimming right now as his whole focus was on her who had finally agreed to wear bikini for the first time. She had rejected this idea many times and had cited that she wasn't comfortable wearing it.

But somehow, Sameer had made some stupid bet and won it which was the main reason for her wearing that attire today. She had told him that she would wear it only in his presence. Sameer didn't leave that opportunity and asked her to wear bikini on their first wedding anniversary when they would be alone at their farmhouse.

The moment Naina had dropped the shawl that had covered her body, Sameer had stopped breathing altogether. He had many times imagined her wearing bikini in his dreams, but the sight in front of him had stolen his breath away. The reality was much much better than his dream.

Naina knew what effect she would've on him after wearing that attire which was gifted by her handsome husband just a few days back. When Sameer had gone for practice, she had tried it once and had felt conscious. At one moment, she wanted to give up on wearing that good for nothing cloth. But she didn't want to break his heart, especially on their first wedding anniversary.

Mustering some courage, Naina finally wore that gifted bikini. Sameer had fulfilled all her said and unsaid wishes. He hardly asked for anything from her. He had been a wonderful and loving husband till now, always helping her, always supporting her. And she finally dared to wear it only and only for her Sameer. He was her world, her everything. Then how could she not fulfil his one wish?

Sameer didn't get much chance to look at his gorgeous wife. The moment Naina had dropped the shawl, within a minute, she had plunged in the swimming pool. She was so damn aware of his burning gaze on her all the while.

Sameer hadn't waited even a second and jumped right after her and followed her around the swimming pool. He continued disturbing her whenever she tried to take a dip under water for at least ten seconds.

When Naina neared the end of the pool, Sameer trapped her by holding her captive between his arms on both sides. "Bohot bhaag li tum Naina... ab bas... Tumne yeh bikini mere liye pehni hai naa? Fir mujhe thik se dekhne kyun nahi de rahi? Abhi toh maine tumhe thik se dekha bhi nahi tha aur tum pool mein kudd gayi. Aise bilkul nahi chalega Naina. Main... main meri Naina ko meri di hui gift mein acche se dekhna chaahta hun.", he whispered the last part huskily.

All the while Sameer continued to stare at her and whispered again, "Naina... aisa kuch nahi hai jo maine dekha nahi hai, jo tum mujhse itna sharmaa rahi ho."

Naina lowered her gaze, "Maine... maine pehle kabhi aise kapde nahi pehne hai Sameer, isliye thoda ajeeb lag raha hai, aur... aur kuch nahi." Sameer leaned near her ear, "Shaadi ko ek saal ho gaya hai Naina aur tumhara ek second mein bold se shy ho jaana, mujhe samajh nahi aata. Main jaanta hun tum iss bikini mein uncomfortable feel kar rahi ho, fir bhi tumne yeh sirf isliye pehna kyunki maine tumse yeh pehenne ko kahaa tha. Thank you, Naina... sach kahu toh mujhe nahi lagaa tha ki tum yeh pehenne ke liye ready hogi, par tumne meri yeh wish poori karke mujhe yeh bataa diya ki main tumhare liye kitne maayne rakhta hun. Main tumse jitna pyaar karta hun naa, tum usse kayi jyaada mujhse pyaar karti ho. Aaj tumne meri gift pehenkar yeh saabit kar diya. Main sach mein bohot lucky hun ki tum meri life mein aayi. I Love You Naina... Happy First Wedding Anniversary My Love..."

Naina looked up and saw his pure love in his dark chocolaty eyes. Why was she acting so shy and uncomfortable in front of her loving husband who had done everything just for her? How can she forget that Sameer was the one who loved her unconditionally and had even fulfilled all her wishes that she had mentioned to him on their first meet at Marine Drive? He had ticked all the things that were written in her girly bucket list. He had taken her to a world tour for their honeymoon and had even taken a ride on the hot air balloon which had marked the end of her bucket list.

Before she could say anything, Sameer spoke, "Tum aise karo Naina... kapde change karlo. Wear something that you are comfortable in. Main tab tak music system set kar deta hun. Acche acche gaane sunenge toh mood bhi accha ho jaayega."

How selfless he was? He wanted her to change and wear something comfortable, just because she was feeling conscious and uncomfortable wearing it. How could she do that to him? He hardly asked for anything from her. Can't she just fulfil one of his wishes happily, without feeling awkward or shy? He was right, there was nothing that he hadn't seen, then what was the need to be so self-aware and conscious in front of her own husband?

As Sameer turned the other way to get out of the pool, Naina held her hand, "Sameer... tum sach mein mujhe iss bikini mein dekhna nahi chaahte? Toh main sach mein kapde change kar lun?", she teased.

Being in marriage for the last one year, Sameer knew her in and out and now too, he could gauge her teasing mood. Without giving her a chance to say more, he turned back and pinned her to the edge of the swimming pool.

"Accha... toh ab tum uncomfortable nahi ho?", Sameer asked staring at her. "Main bhala apne pati ke saamne kyun uncomfortable feel karungi? Main tumhare saamne kuch bhi pehen sakti hun naa yaa kuch bhi nahi pehen sakti, hai naa?"

Her that sentence broke his resolve of staying away from her in the swimming pool and he smashed his lips on her, kissing her passionately. Naina forgot what she was about to say while her not so innocent husband went crazy as his hands started making his way on her body, feeling each and every curve of her curvaceous body that he had touched every single night.

Even in the cold water, they felt warm as Sameer continued exploring his wife with his mouth and hands. Soon, he took the bikini off her body and threw it away. This was the first time that they were making out in the swimming pool.

After few minutes, when Sameer couldn't wait anymore, he rushed her out of the swimming pool and headed inside to have his fill of her.

After few rounds of lovemaking, when they lay sated in each other's arms, Naina teased, "Tumne bataaya nahi ki main aaj bikini mein kaise lag rahi thi?"

Sameer bit her earlobe, "Kal firse pehenna, iss baar main acche se tumhe dekhunga..."
