Naina looked at that cocoon of steel and the walls that were so elegantly curved and wrapped around to create this big inner space. The whole airport was gleaming with so much bright white lights that creating an illusion of brighter day even in a cold evening of last week of December. That was like a sea of faces moving in an unseen current, flowing like water to their destinations like a wide river down the aisles. There were plasma screens of arrival and departure times on the wall of the airport. People were lined up at the check in desk with suitcases and baggage. The glittery sparkles of amazement beamed like twinkling fireflies in her big curious eyes. Excited like a small kid she was firing on a trail of questions to him and he was trying to answer her queries patiencely.

"Hum yha q khade hai...", standing in the que of check in for almost 15 mins, she asked finally, as there was a long que probably due to upcoming new year holidays, and after security scanning of luggage when they were in que, her patience was giving up and an eagerness of see the plane was taking over.

"Naina... Yha check in karke luggage drop karna hai.. tabhi to boarding pass milega aur seat numbers bhi... Fr hi to plane me jayenge... Bas thoda time lagega, don't worry hamara number aane hi wala hai...",he tried to explain everything in detail.

Though he explained well everything and she understood too, but the excitement was too much for her to handle and holding him on arm she kept tapping her feet and craning her neck to see the number of people ahead of them in que. "Tchh... Ye line aage q nhi badh rahi... Kab aayega hamara number... Kitni slow line hai... ",She was getting frustrated of waiting now and kept blabbering all the time.

For once he looked at her with a sweet smile as like always admired her innocent questions and excitement very much, but soft murmurs and quirky comments from a side didn't go unnoticed from him.

"Seems like its her first trip by air..."

"Seems... Look at her cloths dear... I am sure this LS behenji has never stepped out of her village ever..."

"Yeah.... See how kiddish she is..."

He gritted his teeth and turned to see the source of comments, but just then their number came and she pulled his arm. He looked at her and got busy with the reception lady in the process of check in. But this was very different for him. Never in his whole life he had faced such humiliating words. Her innocent questions, cute excitement and beautiful smile, which were alluring him some moments back suddenly lost all its beauty. The fake humiliating embarrassment seeped in middle blocking the way and blurred his vision. Fake sophistication and judgemental rights took over of that so called civilized husband of that innocent cute bride. Only God knows how that cute girl was gonna bear this frustrated husband of her. And that angry poor soul, little did he know that the comments were not for her, but for the couple standing after three or more persons in que. But looks like somewhere in his subconscious mind he was still apprehensive of her age, background and appearance.

"Yha seats milengi naa.... Kya hume window seats mil sakti hai please....",she was still in her zone only, unknown to the storm brewing inside him and coming towards her.

"Dekhte hai....", he tried to keep himself sane and sober.

It was her hardluck that just some moments before someone had reserved the last window and caused a drop in her bright smile.

"Tchh... Thodi pehle aa jate to mil jati naa window seat... Ab to kuch bhi nhi dikhega...",she started with her blabbering.

"Come on Naina... You are not a kid... Waise bhi itne andhere me tumhe kya dekhna hai window se...",the storm started to take shape. Seems like the hot magma would burst as he was already feeling humiliated and much to his disappointment just got to know that his agent booked them in economy class as there was no availability and now chances were very low for upgradation.

"City lights... Maine suna hai upar se bhut sunder dikhta hai...",she somehow ignored the hint of his bad mood.

He huffed a long breath and shaking his head in disbelief and moved in long steps and Naina almost ran after him.

***********************************

Naina looked the interior of the Airbus happily. But nonchalant to her happiness he just kept the small bag on upper storage and signalled her to sit. Situation was getting worse for him as they got the middle and area seats and habituated of business class this was very congested for him and fueling his frustration to the extreme level of heat. Though the calm coldness of dew drops had her hand in his but ignorant of that blessed beauty beside, he was busy in cursing his agent and fuming up on her innocent curiosity. The take off announcement of fastening the seatbelt was going on and Naina was listening with all her attention. Announcement had been done and she tried to fasten her belt, but suddenly the man in his late fifties who was sitting beside them on window seat slided the window open and all her attention turned towards that. Craning her neck she was trying to get a glimpse of evening airport lights. Sensing her curiosity and interest he smiled at first then thinking something offered,"agar tum chaho to idhar baith jao beta..."

"Sachhi uncle... Mai udhar baith sakti hu....", Sameer turned to see whether she had fastened her seat belt or not, and this offer fell in his ears. With a forced smile he was about to refuse politely, when she asked before he could deny.

"Haa haa bilkul... Tum dono idhar shift ho jao, mai udhar chala jata hu...", the kind reply came from that uncle.

And without thinking much she got up to change the seats. And he also had to get up and they changed their seats. He helped her with seatbelt and kept his lips pursed for the whole time controlling too much against his usual being. But her excitement was too much to control. As soon the Airbus started to drag over runway and being prepare to take off, the thrilling sensations of zeal kicked in and she hold his arm eagerly, but he slowly slipped his arms out of her grip. Some butterflies of elated exhilaration fluttered in her belly and she clutched her stomach tight.

"Wo... Udhar... Wha dekhiye...",the excitement was on its peak now, and showing him something she just wanted to involve him in her happiness.

" Stop it Naina...", he uttered pursing his lips again, when she pulled his arm to show him something, so indifferent to her eagerness of pleasure, he was now frustrated at its peak,"and just shut up...",he again shouted in low tone when looked at her opening her mouth to say something.

"Shut up Naina... Jab se dekh rha hu, pta nhi kya kar rahi ho... Tumhe sharm nhi aati, aise kisi ko uski jagah se uthate hai kya... Publicly kaise behave karte hai, sare manners bhul gyi ho kya... Apni nhi to kam se kam meri izzat ka hi khayal kar lo... Mrs. Maheshwari ho ab tum... Kuch khayal hai ki nhi... Jab dekho tab bachhi ban jati ho...",the humiliating feeling of embarrassment and all his frustration directed on her. She blinked her eyes and her lips quivered mumbling a completely inaudible apology before he turned again and sit straight resting his head on backrest of seat.

*********************************

"Beta, tum bura naa mano to ek baat kahu...",it was hardly 15 mins passed when that kind elderly man asked softly.

The person obviously witnessed everything that transpired between them few minutes back, coz if he was not shouting then not so soft too. Though sameer was not at all interested in anything, but due to social courtesy he sat straight  and nodded with a forced smile.

"Ummm... Is bachpane ko dabao mat, balki jitna ho sake sahej lo... Qki baad me tumhi ise sabse jyada miss karoge...",he tried to say something really tough for him to understand.

"Jiiii....",he actually didn't get anything what he had said.

"Tum dono ko dekh kar lagta hai ki tumhari nayi nayi shadi hui hai aur shayad pehli baar hi bahar ja rahe ho...",his experienced eyes could see this very clearly. Sameer too nodded and tried to think what was he talking about or going to say and that man continued,"ummm.... Waise to mujhe tum dono pati patni ke beech nhi bolna chahiye, lekin apne experience se ek baat kahna chahta hu, agar tum ijajat do toh...."

Sameer's eyes widened with the fact that an stranger going to comment on their relationship. He could understand that the person obviously overheard their conversation, but never thought that he would try to invade in their privacy. He actually didn't know what to say, but that man was extremely polite and somehow he wanted to decipher the mysterious riddle he said some moments back and forcefully pursing his lips he nodded again.

"Hamare samaj me jis tarah se ladkiyo ki parvarish ki jati hai, unka sara bachpan ye sunte huye hi nikalata hai ki 'ye nakhre apne pati ke ghar me jakar dikhana...' aur,"the old man laughed sarcastically, shook his head in no and continued,"aur shadi ke baad ye ki 'ab tum bachhi nhi...' pta nhi in sabke beech unka bachpan kab kho jata hai...",he again took a pause and this time sameer was not only listening everything attentively but understanding too.

Sameer waited impatiently for him to start again and he started pointed a finger to her,"dekho use... Ek pal nhi lga use ek masoom bachhi se tumhari jimmedaar patni banne me... Lekin uski masoomiyat to dab gyi naa...", Sameer looked at her, she fished out a novel from her purse and reading with full attention, quite lost of her surroundings. Seeing her that silent, something pinched in his heart. But before he could do or say something the kind voice of that elderly man again fell in his ears,"Beta, ye tumhara pehla trip hai akhri nhi... Lekin agli baar tak ye masoomiyat shayad samjhdaari aur jimmedari ke bojh tale dab jaye... Isiliye ye pehli baar hamesha akhiri baar hota h... To jin logo ko jante bhi nhi unke liye, apne jeevan ke saathi ko taklif q dena...",though he explained everything in detail but still concluded it in least possible words.

Sameer looked at the man with horror filled eyes, who picked up a magazine after completing his words, probably giving him his privacy or a space to think. He looked at Naina silently reading the novel so lost and quiet. He tried to rewind everything that happened in last some hours, how on airport those comments ignited his anger and this confusion of economy class fumed it up. He tried to soak the information, he got just some moments back, about a girl's childhood and suddenly recalled something the eyes widened up with realisation of  reality. Someone from his heart darned him,"may be, i was unaware of the truth about most girl's childhood, but I knew about Naina... Then how could i do this to her...", He  continued to scold himself.

"Mummy Papa ke jane ke baad kisse kahti ki kya chahiye..."

"Qki mujhe lga hi nhi ki ye koi problem hai..."

"Khwaishe to kabhi ki hi nhi..."

"Shadi ki shopping..."

The recollection of all those talks about her past he was cursing himself more and more. He knew how troubled her past life was not only childhood. How for the whole life she was banned to ask even for her basic needs forget about dreams and pamperings. He knew how sober she was that never asked for anything to him even. He knew that how much she was excited for this trip.

"Damn... I knew everything then... God kaise daata maine use... Kuch pal pehle jo sawal masoom lag rahe the achanak se kaise bewkufi lagne lage...", someone again rebuked on him from his own heart and cursing himself he yearned to hold her just then.

"Hold...", His lips quivered and again a realisation dawned. "Mujhe naa thoda dar lag rha hai...",the recollection of these words reminded him that she hold his arms at the time of take off, but him. "Shit... How could I... She was so scared and I left her alone... God...", He couldn't be more mortified. And with a trail of curses to himself he just hold her hand softly. She jerked at first then looked at him with her usual beautiful smile.

"Sorry... ",He didn't know what more he could say.

"Koi baat nhi...", She smiled as understood why he was saying this and again looked at the novel in hand. Her one hand was still in his. He looked at her confused as couldn't guess anything from her expressions. He didn't know what to do now, but waited impatiently for more 5 minutes but this was the limit of his patience and he was getting anxious by each passing moment and lastly took the book from her hand and said when she looked at him questioning," Naina... Mere daatne ka tumhe bhut bura lga hoga, janta hu.. par kya itna bura lga ki mujhse baat bhi nhi karogi..." His voice had everything, the fear of losing her, the yearning to talk to her and moreover the mortification of scolding her.

"Aisa nhi hai... Mujhe aapka daatna bura nhi lga...",she replied calmly and looking and observing his fears keenly.

"Naina, please... aise mujhse ..",he was still not convinced that she was completely uneffected.

"Mujhe sach me aapka daatna bura nhi lga...",she silenced him in mid sentence and softly tried to brushed off his tension.

"Jhuth mat bolo...",he was tough to convince.

"Jhuth nhi sach... Mujhe aapka daatna bura nhi lga, bas wo... Wo aj pehli... Pehli baar aapne aise daata... wo bhi... yha... sabke saamne... To thoda... ",She couldn't give proper words to her feelings but her every word shruged off his soul. He scolded her, shouted on her on a fully crowded airbus, oh God.. how much humiliated she would must feel that time. Somehow not being able to intake this new realisation and a lump started to form in his throat. Gulping hard, "Pehli baar...",he mumbled and recalled the moment when they planned this trip. How much he was hopeful of lots of their beautiful firsts and now what was happening.

"What an absolute fantastic way to start  this trip.. what a fantastic first i started with... And what an absolute jerk i am... I planned to whole trip just for her and now...", He huffed a long breath and looked at her. Dressed in that red and white dress she was looking divinely beautiful and innocent. Her big innocent eyes, sweet smile, silky hairs, everything, means everything was so Serene about her then how could he do something like that. Realisation after realisation and he couldn't be more agitated.

"Phew... Forget about everything... God, I want nothing but to hold her right in moment...",he murmured and lifting the handrest up from between shifted a little closer to her and flinging an arm around her pulled her closer. She gasped at this sudden pull, but her hand automatically came resting on his chest and he kept his other hand on her cheek. His hand on her back moved from shoulders to arms and he rubbed his thumb over there, While with other hand softly careressed her hair.

"Kya... Kar rahe h... Sab... Yha... Dekh...",she tried to pull back, but mumbled slowly when he tightened his arms.

"Toh... Sabke samne daata bhi to tha, to thoda pyar bhi kar hi sakta hu...",he was very sure that not gonna leave her, come what may and leaning a little he whispered slowly and she gasped as his warm breaths fanned her ears and soft lips touched the earlobes.  His hand slipped from her hairs to face and softly rested on cheek, she tilted her head and looked in his eyes. She always felt his eyes deeper than ocean and everytime she felt herself losing in them. And just like always she found herself intoxicated, his mirror like honest eyes had everything, his mortification, his apologies and warmth of his unconditional love. She could see how every emotion came together to form the art of his soul. Her hands moved from his chest to cup his face almost forgot about the surroundings. His eyes, his arms had everything the warmth and the safety, and she felt her home. But before she could cup his face he hold her hand, kissed her palm and whispered her name. She jerked as the trans broken and her cheeks instantly coloured darker than her dress and she snuggled in him some more and hidding her face in palms.

Seeing her blushing so much and the airhostess approaching for snacks he slowly loosened his hold and she sat straight tucking a loose flick behind ears with a blushing smile of newly wedded bride.

***********************************

"Mujhe nhi pina... ",She puffed her mouth and crossing her arms sat shifting other side. She asked for a glass of water but denied to take when instead of her he took the glass from airhostess and smiling she asked for anything else from him.

He looked at her confusingly but couldn't understand anything and shrugging his shoulder about to press the call button to call the airhostess again, when she hold his hands and asked,"kya hua... Ab kyu bula rahe h use..."

"Tumhe pani nhi pina, to wapas karna padega naa... Agar yha gir gya toh...",he softly tried to explain.

"Nhi... Pina hai na... Mujhe pina hai... Kisne kha ki nhi pina... Bilkul pina hai...",she was quick in response and gulped the whole water taking glass from his hand.

He looked at her, then glass, the call button and the airhostess, and suddenly a smile crept on his lips as understood her apprehensions. He thought something, leaned towards her and whispered in her ears, holding her hands," don't worry Mrs Maheshwari, mera dil us airhostess pr nhi ek third year student pr aaya h..." Of course he loved to see that pink blush on her cheeks.

Laughing with each other, blushing on his sweet nothings and looking at the city lights with amazement, her rest of the journey was quite blissful. And Her infectious smile and innocent talks kept him happy for the whole time. Never for a moment he felt irritated of congested seat arrangements anymore, never for a second he remembered those nonsense comments of the airport anymore, never for a moment he bothered about her innocent queries and curiosity, and it all kept him realising that what he was about to miss in this journey if that uncle wouldn't give him that piece of mind. He thanked him at the time of leaving and affectionately that kind man patted his shoulder.

**********************************

"Aa gye bachho.....", Nanu lovingly received them.

"Are nanu... Aap q jaag rhe hai... Ye aapke sone ka time hai naa...", Sameer touched his feet and asked despite of knowing the answer and nanu hugged him in response.

Naina too touched his feet and nanu hugged her too showering with lots and lots of blessings.

"Thik hai naa bachhe... Ye sameer tujhe pareshan to nhi karta...",he asked her even before Sameer and sameer made a pout and protested,"haww nanu... Aap mere nanu hai ya iske... Aur waise bhi mai q pareshan karunga ise... Balki yhi mujhe tang karti hai..."

Naina was about to protest when nanu replied him,"Beta nanu to mai tera hu... Par naina ka bhi hu... Aur mujhe pta hai kaun kise sata sakta hai, isiliye pehle usse puchha... Tu jhuti baate mat bna..."

Sameer made a sulking face and Naina showed him tongue to tease. But laughing nanu hugged them both and asked them to get freshen up and have dinner first.

Sameer showed her the flat. It was a beautiful three bedroom flat and he already had a room set for him and now for them. He freshen up first and went to living room asking her to come quickly.

"Sameer... Naina aur Tu... Mera matlab hai tum dono... Sab thik hai naa...",nanu asked him as recalled his apprehension of marriage, though saw his affection for her after marriage too, but still he was away for a long time and felt a need to ask.

"Ji nanu... Sab thik hai... Aur mai... Mera matlab hai hum dono, bhut khush hai...", Sameer replied softly brushing off his fears.

"Aur kya plan hai tum logo ka... Kha jaoge pehle...",nanu asked softly.

"Pta nhi nanu... Kuch socha nhi is bare me... Lekin naina se puchhunga, shayad wo khi jana chahti ho...",sameer tried to think then replied looking at her approaching for dinner. Nanu smiled looking at the love oozing from his eyes by just getting her glimpse. He sighed a relief as understood that his fears were all baseless. Soon he took a leave from them as it was time for his sleep and he already had his dinner.

***********************************

"Naina.... Kal kha chale pehle... Kuch socha hai...",he asked her later when they lay in each other's arms.

"Mai btau... Aapne kuch nahi socha...",she was a little hesitant to convey her intent.

"Maine to sab jagah dekhi hui hai.... To tum btao naa kha jana chahti ho...",he softly tried to give her courage to say.

"Umm.... Mujhe... Mujhe naa... Mujhe Appu ghar jane ka bhut man hai...",she hesitantly and slowly gave voice to her thoughts.

"Appu ghar... Are you sure...",he amusingly looked at his better half, who cutely bobbed her head in affirmation and and he too nodded thinking something.

Soon she slept as it was tiring day for her and she woke up really early that morning. He kept stroking in her hairs lovingly but lots of things were roaming in his mind. He scolded her first time that day, and somehow that memory glued to his mind. He shivered thinking of that person beside and thinking that what if he was not there or not give him that piece of mind. He knew her, he knew that she would never complained, he knew that she would never questioned him or his behaviours, but he didn't want it. He wanted to give him all the courage that she could stand before him even. And somewhere promised himself for this.

He looked at her smiling in her sleep and smiled thinking her requisition for going to appu ghar. He knew that she never got a chance throw tantrums and being pampered and already promised himself to shower her with all his love and pamperings. He again promised himself to enjoy every moment of his life with her just like her even if it was being kiddish. He kissed her forehead before closing his eyes and mumbled " so sorry sweetheart... I promise mai tumhari saadgi ko kabhi khone nhi dunga, kabhi nhi... I Love you so much Naina..."

********************************

Next morning was a quite jovial start for that small flat. She met Kanji and his wife Bhuri. They were caretaker and house help for nanaji here in Delhi. They were a jolly  young couple, took good care of nanaji and became very happy when met their 'sameer bhaiya ki Dulhan'. Though they didn't want her to do anything, but still she helped them with breakfast and herself cooked something for nanaji with less oil and salt coz wanted to. And it was almost half past nine when with a cup of coffee she walked in the room to wake up her lazily laying husband.

"Are.. uth gye hai to fr bahar q nhi aaye...", she looked at him surprisingly as he sat up as soon as she entered in the room.

Without any clarification he just spread his arms and looked at her and with a slight blush but sweet smile she swiftly slipped into his arms. Dragging her faminine intoxicated scents in, he nuzzled in her hairs and tgen replied,"wo kya hai naa sweetheart, Ajkal hamara din aapko dekhe bina shuru nhi hota... To hum.. yha... aapke.. liye... Samjhi...",he pinched her nose cutely.

Her lashes veiled the eyes for a moment, but controlling the blush she scrunched her nose, squinted her eyes and making a cute pout said in a teasing way,"ho gya aapka... Baate banana to koi aapse sikhe... Chaliye ab jaldi kijiye, bahar nanaji wait kar rahe h..."

Sameer narrowed his brows, understood her tease, smirked and slowly his hands moved tracing delicate arch of her spine and tightening his hold he leaned some more allowing his lips to touch her ears,"aao.. fr kuch aur bhi sikhata hu..."

The silk of his breaths tickled every pore of her skin. His warm husky voice raised the temperature of her skin, closing her eyes, she fisted his t-shirt some more and felt herself melting and moulding against him. His one hand moved from shoulder and rested on her cheek. She opened her eyes and tilted her head in his palm, his thumb traced the curve of her cheek and tightening his hold some more he pulled her closer. Her familiar scents clouded his mind and his eyes instinctively moved on the pinkish soft petals like lips. There eyes had an own language of passion as never for a moment wanted to leave each other.

He breathed heavily as the distance seemed unbearable now. Her hands moved and bunched up his t-shirt and end if his hairs. Her heart thumped so loud that he could surely listen her every beat. Leaning more he let his warm lips touch her cheek and jawline, like a teasing feathery touch. His softness touching her everytime but irked this time. She whimpered and pulled him tightening her hold. Her hands moved restlessly on his back and tilting her head she gave him more access. He smiled but his lips too hungerily wandered over sweet juncture of neck and shoulders and hands moved seeking the access of her waist. She moaned softly first as the sensation of his big warm palm on her belly teased her skin and but soon whimpered as the touch was causing the hot coil burned deep in her lower belly.

She had lost herself in him already and he was on the verge of losing when a loud sound of crash brought them both in senses. She blushed deeply realising their state, but breathing hard found the calmest place in his arms only. And soon gathering herself leave for the kitchen but telling him to get ready fast.

After a filling breakfast of some gujarati and some north indian delicacies, Sameer talked to nanu's doctor first and fixed an meeting for next day and then they both left for her desired destination 'appu ghar'. He also asked her to pack a change as there was a big water park too.

**********************************

She almost squealed in happiness seeing the big entrance gate of amusement park. And Sameer admired her happiness lovingly. He knew that it would be definitely very difficult for him to come to an amusement park and see her squealing like a kid if it hadn't happened what happened yesterday as it was now like decades when he had some this kind of fun with his friends.

"Friends...",his heart exclaimed and someone from his heart tried to make him understand,"friends... Well she is your friend too, isn't she..."

"Yes, she is... Being a life partner is not only about love... She is my soulmate, my best friend too...", His other half answered his own questions and brushing away every apprehension he hold her hand and run to the gate.

Well this was better than his thoughts as he never thought that a giant wheel ride could be this romantic. But when the love of his life snuggled in him more and more and to divert her attention he kissed her forehead he thought that, that was very lovely and they could go for some more rounds.

Likewise he enjoyed in roller coaster, Columbus jhula and my fair lady too. He was amused coz she was so scared of every swing and ride but still enjoying every moment of those.

The snow skiing and ice boating had frozed them almost and rubbing each other's palms they tried to calm the other one forgetting about themselves.

They had some coffee and snacks and then headed towards water park. It was very big and had a lots of slides. She was scared again as didn't know how to swim, but he pulled her hand and climbed up the stairs for slides. She was so scared that refused to sit in slide at all and thinking something he quickly sat and pulled her in his lap. Her eyes couldn't be more widen but holding her waist tight when he slided squealing loud, the fast pace made her eyes squeezed shut and hide her face in palms. And With a big splash they were already in water. She felt the ground beneath slipped from her feet and she clinged on him tightly. And holding her steady he softly called her," aakhe kholo Naina..."

She just shook her head in no. "Kholo... Don't worry, mai hu naa...",he almost instructed her but then softly tried to ease her too. Slowly she opened her eyes and looked at him. He smiled in assurance and loosened his hold slowly. She stood steady as it was not very deep and it took her more five minutes to calm her breaths and enjoying the water around. Though her wet dress, hairs and whole being was teasing his desires at its best, but controlling hard he tried to think something else. And this was not otherwise for Naina too, but the difference was only that she was not understanding the sweet ache and tingles running in her whole body like electric current. Once it started to crowd in pool, Sameer asked her to come out and change as noticed some not so decent group of boys coming towards.

After changing they had some light snacks again, this time fighting on one cotton candy he felt the happiness that never felt before. And at last it was time for haunted house and this was fun too. As he laughed hard when she shouted seeing a scary statue moving slowly. But just on the second turn she laughed uncontrollably as this time he shouted loud seeing an another spooky statue coming closer. They laughed on eachother and hold eachother too. But it was fun he never had before.

It was almost the time of closing and they were hell tired too. Running with and after eachother neither they checked the time nor they felt any tireness. It was a fun day for both of them and like a good luck it was brighter and sunny day unlike the cold weather of Delhi. They enjoyed at fullest and now tired at fullest too.

He admired her lovingly as she slept in car only and holding her tight he stroked her hairs. Dressed in lemon yellow suit which had thread embroidery of pink colour, she look like the pink lilies. Admiring her beautiful face, he didn't know when he too slipped into a sleep and their sleep broken when the car stopped with a jerk.

***********************************

"Are tum dono mere liye kuch nhi laye....", nanu teased them both.

"Laye hai naa nanaji... Dekhiye hum...",she emptied a packet in her hand.

Nanu looked at the contents of the bag interestingly. A small eyes blinking doll, some whistles, tingling toys, key operated monkey, a small teddy bear and some lollypops and candies. Naina and Sameer too looked at the contents surprisingly as never understood that enjoying like kids when they actually became kids and collected all these things. The trio looked at the toys and then eachother before bursting into the peals of laughter.

"Mai ye sab utha deti hu... Wha ghumte huye pta hi nhi chala kab ye sab...",naina controlled herself first and tried to collect all those things in bag again.

"Are ye sab chhod beti.. pehle fresh ho jao dono, kuch kha pi lo... Fr kar lena...",nanu asked her and nodding softly she headed towards room.

Sameer rested his head on backrest of sofa all this while and when after 5 minutes got up to leave, nanu thought something and Said,"Sameer... Mai kya soch rha hu, khilone to aa gye ab... Inse... Khelne wala bhi agar..."
Nanu teased him prolonging every word and his eyes opened wide but understanding his teasings nodding his head and walked to the room replying with a slight blush,"kya nanu aap bhi...".

The whole day was full of fun for both of them. They cherished every moment of togetherness. After a long time sameer felt himself lighter and relived without any responsibility of office. Every tension and pressure evaporated in warmth of her being. After a long time they had a fun time with nanu too as played cards and carom and had a lots and lots of talks.

After dinner when they retired in their room he couldn't hold back and even needed to hold back and showered her with all the passion. Her image with wet dress was coming again and again in his eyes and he felt himself losing all controls. She moaned, she whimpered and she arched to fill every empty ache of her soul. He couldn't understood when his hands moved and reached to read the clasp of her lace. She gasped and moaned, her one half was went all excited to movement of his hand and she craved for but other half again shut her up and tightening her hold she hold herself up to reach to his ears and mumbled,"mai... Mujhe... Kuch.... Aap... "

He immediately pulled back his hand and looked in her eyes. The doubts, confusions were shinning in her clouded eyes. He controlled himself in a jiffy and dragged some deep breaths.

She looked at him, breathing heavily with closed eyes, and didn't know why felt a need to hold. Turning his side she hold him by waist and hide her face in his chest. Some confusions fogged his mind even, but as soon as she wrapped herself in him he felt every doubt slipping away and his hands automatically moved in her hairs. She smiled in him comfortably before closing her eyes.

Nanu's teasing again rang in his ears and shifting a little he looked at her sleeping figure in his arms, and remembered her demur of few minutes back. Shaking his head in no he murmured," nanu bhi naa... Kya kya sochte hai...", And closed his eyes too.

*********************************

The next morning was colder than earlier but still bright and beautiful. The cool wind blew the freshness in his smile as he woke up first and seeing nanu busy in yoga,  headed to catch a short walk. In his way back to home a delicious smell of chhole bhature caught his attention and he didn't hold back himself  buying that in massive quantity.

"Itna sara khana...ye kaun khayega...",naina smacked her head when looked at the quantity of breakfast.

"Hum.. aur kaun...",he casually replied.

"Itna....Nanaji to ye kha nhi sakte, aur hum dono to kanji bhaiya aur bhuri ko milakar bhi ye khatam nhi kar payenge..."she tried to make him understand.

"Naina... Khana hai naa...",he whined like a kid and shaking her head in disbelief she emptied the contents in a container.

Well, she was right. It was really more than they needed, but he enjoyed that taste alot.

"Mujhe btaya nhi aapne kabhi ki aapko chhole bhature itne pasand hai...",she looked at him enjoying his food fully and smiled.

"Bas wo... ",He was very busy to reply even.

She chuckled and gestured him to eat first. After breakfast sameer went to meet the doctor first along with nanu as his routine check up was due and asked naina that they would go for a shopping and some street hopping in evening.

Doctor's meeting was quicker than his thoughts but a positive one. Doctor assured him nanu's stable condition and seemed  very hopeful for operation. Sameer asked to confirm the date for operation soon as not wanted to delay anymore now. Nanu's tests had been done in meantime and they were at home a little later lunchtime. They all had their lunch and discussed about nanu's condition and upcoming possible dates for operation. Though nanu wanted to protest but they both were not in mood of listening.

**********************************

"Mai ye bag le lu...",she asked as liked a white coloured so much. They were on cannaught place just roaming and doing window shopping. He liked the weather of Delhi so much and this place full of colours, full of energy and enthusiasm, somehow full of life was one of his favourites and he wanted her to show this, feel this and being a part of this. And roaming and talking something she asked on one shop but he was lost, lost somewhere else.

He jerked and looked at her as earlier very busy in eyeing his beautiful wife. And she was gleaming in a ink blue georgette full flowing suit with white cardigan. Her plum gloss was deviating his thoughts and crinkling bangles teasing his heart again and again. His heart was fluttering with her every smile. Her softness and warmth was testing his controls to its limit. By each passing moment his controls were slipping and thinning stretch. At that moment he wanted nothing but just her. But at the same time his mind was fogged by some doubts too. She was all comfortable with him and he never felt her scared or unknown, but just last night, the confusions and doubts in her eyes had stopped him immediately and now he so wanted to know her heart of that moment. Though he was on the last moment of snapping his controls, but still somewhere deep in his heart knew that would never make love to her until she confessed her love herself. A sweet smile bloomed thinking of that moment only, felt like every cloud sorting out. The moment when she would tell him that how much she loves him, how much she wants him, just the thought was so serene and beautiful in itself. He thought something about last night and felt a need to talk to her, so at least could know that what she had feared of or whatever doubts she had. He just thought to talk and now wanted to talk and clear her confusions too and asked restlessly as couldn't wait more,"Naina... Tumhe mujhse kuch baat karni hai naa..."

"Mujhe...",she narrowed her brows and tried to think.

"Haa... Kal raat tum kuch...",he again clarified quickly and her eyes widened first as understood what he was asking about, but her expressions softened immediately when saw the genuine concern and an strange restlessness in him. Seeing her softening he continued,"wo kal... Actually mujhe laga ki tum kuch kehna chahti ho.. bolo kya kah rhi thi..."

"Hein... Abhi...",she looked horrified at him as it was already very difficult for her to explain her feelings and now, like this, in a crowded market, the thought only enough to gave her chills.

"Haa, abhi...",he was really very restless.

"Par yha... Aise... Mera matlab hai...",she looked the crowd around themselves and tried to make him understand too.

He looked around and jerked off as suddenly felt that he was actually asking her something really personal on a crowded street. He smacked himself but thinking more than quickly tugged her hand,"chalo ghar chalte hai..."the eagerness was getting hard for him to intake.

"Hein... Ghar... Abhi...",she tried to ask, yes tried coz in the meantime pulled along with him.

He was so fast that it was really being difficult for her to follow and she pleaded almost panting,"suniye... Please... Rukiye... thoda... dheere chaliye naa..."she huffed stopped and hold her knees leaning and the parking seemed really far.

He looked back, when she didn't pulled along, and saw her leaned on her knees panting jerked due to realisation of pulling her without thinking anything else. "God, sameer... Kya kar rha hai, pagal ho gya hai kya... Aise to Naina aur ghabra jayegi... This is not something you can solve in a moment... Give her time and wo khud hi bta degi..."

He was busy in self churning when slowly she approached him and asked him to move.

"No... Nhi... Mera matlab hai...",he smacked himself again and huffing a deep breath said again,"Naina... Ghar hum baad me jayenge aur baat bhi ghar jakar karenge... Chalo abhi tumhe kuch lena tha naa, wo lete hai..."

Naina looked at him as suddenly came up with grown horns. And observing him keenly asked,"are you sure... Matlab him ghar ja sakte hai, aisa kuch khas nhi lena mujhe..."

"Hmm, sure... Chalo kuch achi shopping karte hai... Ummm, wo hamare room ki shopping baki thi naa, wo karte hai...",he assured her nodding and smiling proposed an idea, that caused a beautiful smile on her lips instantly.

Later they had a great time and they actually shopped alot. Though they entered in a shop for bedsheets and curtains but it offered a good range of furniture too. And a perfectly blended teakwood and very light shaded golden coloured love seat caught their attention. Perfectly matched to the colour theme of their room, soft and cozy. They both loved that at the same time and Sameer was thinking about the transportation when shopkeeper promised to deliver just with an addition of minimal transportation charges. And he immediately agreed to the same. Later she wanted to see some bedsheets and cushion covers and he excused himself for some moments and went to the upper floor of the shop. There they had a variety of mattresses. He looked at every available piece and thinking about her and his prior decision took pretty good time to decide for the one. In the meantime she choosen some bedsheets and cushion covers too. He booked everything for transport and paid the bill.

They had some good snacks and shopped some more, this time gifts for their friends, nanu, kanji and his wife bhuri. Everything seemed perfect. He had decided to talk with her as soon as reached in the privacy of their room and this time just enjoying her smiles. She was glowing happily in his shinning love. She too knew that he wanted to talk and she too wanted to tell him and ask him and unknowingly this feeling was causing an strange tingling of eagerness to  know everything.

They reached home exhausted and full of bags and had dinner first coz nanaji was waiting for them and its already sometime passed from his usual times. Later after some talks when he got up to leave for his room asking nanu to take rest too, nanu called him recalling something,"Sameer... Beta wo... Party ke liye..."

"Mujhe khi nhi jana nanu...",he suddenly got agitated and looked a little angry too.

Nanu knew that it was useless to say him anything much now, but thinking something he again said softly,"thik hai... Fr Rohan aur Amrita ka phone aaya tha... Khud hi unhe call karke bta de..."

"Nanu please....",his hands fisted and perplexed he almost shouted, and then looking at naina and him walked out in his room.

Naina couldn't understand what they were talking about but later mentioned names told her that something was related to his extended family in Delhi. She looked at his direction restlessly and then nanu as couldn't understand that what to do now.

Nanu nodded and left for his room saying,.    "sambhalna use..."

Wondering that why instead of calming him or making him understand nanu mention about upholding him, she slowly moved for their room.

Her heart ached like someone squeezed in its fist, when saw him fallen on bed diagonally and resting on his stomach he had hidden his face in his arms. She walked and quicker than a blink reached near him and sat near his head. She careressed his hairs lovingly and about to say something, but before she could say anything, he shifted and rested his head in her lap encircling her waist. She gasped as it was very sudden and unexpected but when he whispered her name, his faint wet voice cut through her heart and soul.
