Hey guys I strongly believe that any important incident in someone's life totally changes the feelings, perceptions, emotions and personality of a person. Yuvraaj singh has been changed by whatever happened to his brother but naina have not faced anything that might change her and secondly their feelings for each other need to be expressed under some circumstances. I wanted to just portray her changing as a serious person and yuvi changing into a caring person for her. I am taking the same story line that is going on like they both have slight feelings for each other and yuvi hiding something from her and naina is after him. So the scene begins like this'.
PART 1

"main ne kaha na main tumhare paise lauta dungi. Ab pls mujhe fone mat karna" yuvi saw her pacing back and forth on the terrace. He had come there just to relax for a while in break but instead saw a tensed naina.
"I know bt ustime mere pas job nahi thi ab to job hai mujhe sirf 2 haftay ka time do is month ki salary mila kar tumhare sare paise lauta dungi. I promise"
"raam pls samajhne ki koshish karo. Main'" she stopped as if the other person had interrupted her. yuvi was astonished and curious to see her this much tensed.
"nahi! Pls papa se kuch mat kehna'pls ram papa ko involve mat karo'acha theek hai main isi week tumhare paise tumhain wapas kar dungi"
"is Saturday!! Per Saturday ko to' acha fine kahan ana hai?"
"WHAT?? Green view?? Wo to shimla main hai!" yuvi was even more surprised. He realized she was in some big trouble and that was all perhaps because of her habit of stupid lies that's why she didn't wanted her papa to be involved.
"per ram main shimla kaise aongi? Itne thode se time main! Or wo bhi akele. Atleast jiggy ko to sath lane do!"
"raam tum kuch ghalat to'"
"nahi nahi sorry main net um per shaq kiya! Main'main ajaongi"
"bye" she hung up the fone and stood there silently crossing her arms on her chest, her head bent. Yuvi decided to walk upto her and ask her what was wrong. He had just taken a step towards her when he heard her uneven breathing and realized that she was crying. He walked beside her quietly and asked in his usual casual way,
"kiya hua?" she straightened up quickly but turned her face away from him and quickly wiped her tears away.
"naina main ne pucha kiya hua?"
"kuch nahi hua mujhe! Now can u pls leave me alone for a while?" she replied with her teeth clenched and strictly. She had never used that tone with anyone before and that made his stomach twist.
"sb theek hai?" he asked again pretending to be normal and unconcerned but inside he was getting impatient. Instead of answering him she took a deep breath of irritation and turned away from him to walk away without even looking at him but he caught her arm and pulled her back to him.
"STOP IT YUVI! LEAVE ME DAMNIT!"
"I will as soon as u tell me what's wrong" he replied calmly as she shouted at him.
"nothing's wrong ok! Sb theek hai and waise bhi stop pretending as if you care!" she lowered her volume but still she was angry.
"naina tell me what is it?" he asked with care by lightening his grip and raised his other hand to her hair and caressed them softly. She was loosened by his gesture and her expressions softened.
"main'mujhe kuch nahi hua yuvi. Choti si problem hai main khud solve kar lungi"
"phir bhi kiya problem hai?" he kept caressing her softly as it soothed her.
"wo' college k kuch friends k sath jhagda hua tha and bas wohi solve karna tha"
"sure?" he eyed her sspiciously.
"ya" she lowered her eyes as she couldn't take his intense gaze.
"ok. agar kisi bhi help ki zarurat ho kisi bhi waqt to I'll be there for you. Ok?" he let go of her arm and said in a soft tone.
"ya" she nodded and walked away while his eyes followed her. As she vanished through the door he shook his head and said to himself,
"phir jhoot" and followed her outside.
He was walking through the corridor when his eyes caught sight of naina in the fire escape. He stopped and looked inside without stepping close or opening the door. She was crying all her heart out. His heart clenched to see her cry like this. What could it be that had made her cry like this?? She had cried only once when he had been harsh with her and that were also just two tears of hurt but this was more then that and he wanted to know and help her out of this but how? She had said to that person on the phone that she would meet him in green view at shimla on Saturday but he didn't know what green view was and at what time. He needed to find that out instead of forcing her to tell him.

"hey naina kahan jarahi ho?"
"sid mujhe kuch kam tha and I needed to go!" naina kept walking towards the main door while sid tried to catch up with her.
"dr.kirti se permission le li?" he asked.
"han unko application bhi de di hai" she was looking inside her purse for something.
"to tum party main nahi chalogi?"
"kaun c party?" naina asked without much concern.
"well JP ko surprise birthday party de rahe hain hum sb an du know what ms.puppy ghayab bhi arahi hai" sid replied really excitedly.
"ya that's' that's really cool sid but I'v to go" she looked out and again replied casually.
"aisa kiya zaruri kaam hai?" sid asked when he saw the urgency on her face and gestures.
"oh God 6bj gaye! Listen sid JP ko meri taraf se sorry keh dena or birthday bhi wish kar dena han. Main chalti hun" naina looked at her wrist watch and hurried out of the door.
"per naina suno to'"
"bye sid"
"array wo yuvi'"
"sorry again han!" she said as she stepped out without listening to him.
"ye ladki sunti hi nahi! Yuvi ne kaha tha k main is per nazar rakhun per ye to'"
"hey listen listen sid' can I ask a favor?" naina came back running. She was breathless.
"tum phir wapas agayi! Acha khair han bolo kiya?"
"agar koi bhi tumse mere bare main puche to kehna main sham ki party main arahi hun ok"
"what per tum to nahi arahi"
"han per still tum yahi kehna"
"array suno wo yuvi'" sid started as she again began to walk out.
"specially yuvi! Wo to agar puche to kehna hi yahi k abhi arahi hai. Ok?" she said cutting him off.
"acha? theek hai!" sid said confused.
"thanks" naina said and walked out.

"hey sid naina kahan hai?" sid was sitting in the caf still confused by naina's behavior when yuvi arrived there.
"abhi arahi hai" he blurted the same words as naina had instructed him.
"main ne pucha kahan hai wo?" yuvi asked again casually.
"kaha na abhi arahi hai"
"party main'"yuvi started to ask but sid interrupted him with an excuse.
"han party k liye hi shopping karne gayi hai"
"shopping?"
"han use JP k liye gift lena tha" sid replied by quickly thinking of another lie.
"mtlb wo party main'"
"ayegi!" sid provided him with another lie.
"sure?" he asked suspiciously.
"ya ya sure" sid said rather with over confidence.

"naina ab tk nahi ayi! Kahin wo'"yuvi was thinking to himself in the party when he spotted sid, "hey sid naina kahan hai?"
"abhi arahi hai dude" sid again said but he couldn't walk out with this again.
"sid naina kahan hai?" yuvi asked firmly and getting impatient.
"yar k baat batao dude tumhari problem kiya hai wo pas hoti hai to usse chidhte rehte ho or ab nahi hai to 'naina kahan hai, naina kahan hai?' ki rat lagayi hui hai"
"tumse jo pucha hai sirf usi ka jawab do"
"mujhe nahi pata wo kahan hai?" sid replied irritated.
"sid naina ne jane se pehle kiya kaha?"
"tumhain kaise pata k wo gayi hai?" sid asked surprised.
"kiya kaha usne sid?"
"usne kaha k sbko and specially tumhain yahi kahun k wo party main ayegi" sid said and walked away.
"damn you naina!" he murmured to himself with his jaw clenched...
PART 2

Yuvi had already learned that green view was a personal cottage in shimla. He had an instinct that this friend of naina did not have good intentions and he had to reach there as fast as he could. He also hoped against hope that he might not be late for her. He kept looking at the time which was 7 now. She must have left at 6.15 for the bus. He drove fast on the highway in his sports jeep.
Naina knocked at the door of the cottage type house. It seemed really beautiful from outside. There was a big garden in the front which was well kept. It was dark now and she felt somewhat creepy feeling from inside. She was planning to leave as soon as she gave all the money to raam that she had borrowed from him to take admission in a medical college as she couldn't ask for the funds from her papa because he thought she was taking admission in home sciences and the home science wasn't expensive but medical was. She had promised him that she would return the money as soon as she got the job. Now that she had the job from the past two months and she was saving money for him when suddenly he had grown impatient and somewhat frightening to her as he was becoming desperate to meet her. She knew she would just walk out in about half an hour. She was just thinking all that when the door opened with a click and she saw a tall and handsome guy but' the light beard that had grown over his face and that ear ring in his one ear, that ugly chain and bracelets around his wrist made her look like a gangster and less like the guy that naina knew.
"errr hi"
"hi naina" he sounded like a drunk.
"raam?" she asked a little consciously.
"kiyun pehchan nahi payi kiya? He tucked his thumbs in his pockets.
"nahi nahi tum ne huliya hi aisa banaya hua hai k koi bhi dar jaye"
"tum dar rahi ho?" he asked. His tone had changed a lot in the past few years.
"main kiyun darungi. Bas waise hi bata rahi thi" she looked away.
"acha andar to ao" he stepped sideways with a lazy gate and let her in. she walked inside cautiously looking around the house which was lit with a lamp and was dark as hell.
"itna andhera kiyun hai?"
"yunhi ub roshni main rehne ki aadat nahi rahi jbse tum gayi" he stepped beside her.
"what?" she took a cautious step sideways away from him and he noticed it.
"tum chod k gayi tb se life andheri andheri hogayi hai" his eyes were locked on her feet and on the distance that she took.
"raam ye kaisi baatain kar rahe ho tum?"she asked nervously.
"kuch nahi. Betho?" he told her as he stepped towards the couches. Naina sat down and tried to make out the surroundings. Except the area where they were sitting she couldn't make out a single thing around. She could see the couch that was placed opposite to her where raam sat and continuously gazed her, there was a centre table where a few magazines were placed and two cups of some liquid were placed.
"ye kiya hai?"
"tumhare or mere liye coffee banayi thi per ab thandi hogayi hai"
"kab se banayi thi?"
"ghanta pehle! You're late" he told her a little strictly and her eyes shot up to meet his glare.
"umm'm sorry" her heart beat raced a little by that look.
"it's ok so'whatsup?" he relaxed back and placed his booted feet on the top of the table, crossed, and placed his hands on his lips eyeing her with a meaningful look. She looked at the way he sat in front of her and looked at her. He wasn't like that before neither was his house ever before like this. she assumed perhaps this was his new house.
"ummm actually raam m really sorry that I couldn't make up all your money in such a short notice. But I brought what I could save. You know I have to pay all the bills and rent cuz I live alone and then its only two months'"
"naina relax! Money was just an excuse to meet you"
"what??"
"han I just wanted to see you" his casual attitude irritated her as she had been so tensed becuz of him.
"raam tumne to mujhe dara hi diya tha. Main bhi sochun we were friends and'"
"just friends? Naina we were more than just friends"
"raam we had talked about it quiet a long time ago" she replied a little nervously. She just wanted to get out of here.
"yes' we had" he said after a thought.
"but we are still friends" she said to assure him.
"hmmm'tum betho main garam coffee lata hun" he said and got up.
"raam dun get into it plss. Tum bas ye paise le lo and I'll just be off and baqi paise jaise hi'" she got into her purse.
"shut up naina!" naina looked up at him surprised by his raised tone, "I'm sorry I didn't mean to be harsh. Its just that you'r being so formal. Main ne kaha na k its not about the money and itne time baad mile hain to thodi der betho to"
"umm actually mujhe papa k pas bhi jana tha isliye"
"atleast coffee to pi lo! For old time's sake"
"ok" she smiled formally and he vanished in the darkness. It was extremely cold inside and naina felt herself shiver. She got up to go near the lamp to warm her hands a little. She was just rubbing her hands when her eyes caught sight of a stand near the window which seemed like a canvas. Curiosity was in her nature so she peeked forward where raam had vanished and took the lamp off the hook with which it was hanging and took it near the canvas. She took off the cloth and saw a painting of a beautiful girl. She smiled a little and stepped back a little to have a clear view and shock hit her when she realized it was her painting. She frowned a little and looked around. There was a table placed with the wall. She went closer to it and there were papers upon them where her name was written and a few were letters from some doctors advising some medicines. She didn't care to read the medications as she had seen a drawer under the table. She cautiously opened it without making much noise and without realizing that there might be someone behind her.
yuvi was already in shimla and was looking around for the green view cottage. It had been about an hour since he had been driving like crazy and now reached at shimla but still he wasn't contented. His mind was ringing continuously and his heart was racing just to see naina. he was cursing naina in his heart cuz it was all bcuz of her that he was going through this tension. He didn't have the time to think why he was doing this but he just knew he had to. He was gonna wring her neck once he had her in his arms if'if she was fine.
She caught sight of a few files and picked up one. She placed the lamp on the table and opened it. It was some report from the hospital and some newspaper cuttings. She read out the report first and it was written that 'mr. raam sinha is mentally unstable therefore we are admitting him in mental asylum under the protection of professional caretakers and doctors to help him stabilize his mental condition. He might be dangerous to the people around him as he has already attacked 4 subjects in his surroundings. The following medication is also prescribed as anti depressants for his condition.' She frowned at the report and flipped it quickly towards the newspaper cutting which was an article or a warning for a maniac who had killed a ward boy, a nurse and the watch man of a hospital and broke out of the hospital. She looked below at the picture and it was raam's. her throat went dry and she felt goosebumps when suddenly a voice spoke from behind,
"it was because of you naina" she flipped around in fright and the file fell from her hands.
"if only you wouldn't have left me ye sb hota hi nahi." He came closer to her and she stepped sideways frightened. "Main paglon ki tarha din raat tumhain dhundta raha bulata raha per tum nahi ayi. Naina sb mujhe pagal samajhne lag gaye thay per main pagal nahi hun. Tum daro mat naina main tumhain kuch nahi kahunga." She knew he was loosing it now and she was sweating with fear, "That damn ward boy and nurse were scared of me and they were trying to kill me so I had to kill them. But I just hit them with a rod naina and they just died. It was an accident but han that watchman na! that b*****d he hit he with his stick and I got angry so I threw him down the roof and he died" he said it all casually as if he was talking to himself more than just her. he had turned away from her and was talking and naina thought it was perfect time to run away so she slowly moved away into the darkness and turned around heading towards the door when suddenly he caught her arm and pulled her back. She screamed in fear,
"naina! Naina kiya hua? Tumhain dar to nahi lag raha na mujhse. Main tumhain kuch nahi kahunga naina I promise. I just wanted to spend some quality time with you"
"raam mujhe jana hai. Papa mera wait kar rahe hain" she pleaded him trying to let her arm go.
"mujhe pata hai tum ab bhi mujhse bohat pyaar karti ho bas kehne se darti ho"
"raam let me go. Hum'hum phir milenge han" she tried to console him but he wasn't listening to her.
"jhoot tum is baar bhi mujhe chod k chali jaogi. Ab ki baar main tumhain hamesha k liye apna bana lunga. Tum mere sath waqt guzarogi na?"
"ram listen I have to go. Hum'hum milenge dobara main kahin nahi jaongi'"
"tum bas aj ki raat mere sath guzar lo phir humare beech sb theek hojayega. Sb pehle jaisa hojayega. Hum phir se girlfriend boyfriend ban jayenge balke shadi bhi kar lenge" he held her tightly and started to pull her inside again.
"raam you'r hurting me'"
"nahi naina your hurting me. Plss mana mat karma warna main mar jaonga"
"raam m engaged!" she lied to him quickly thinking he might let her go.
"kiya?"he stopped and looked at her lost.
"han raam main ne sagayi kar li hai?"
"kaise? Tum mere ilawa kisi or ki kaise hosakti ho"
"raam I love him" she told him determinedly to assure him.
"jhoot! Tum mere ilawa kisi or se pyaar kar hi nahi sakti. Tumhare papa ne zabardasti ki na"
"nahi raam main ne apni marzi se kiya?"
"KAISE KAR SAKTI HO TUM AISA HAN?" he threw her on the floor and her head hit the table.
"raam!" she cried in pain holding her head that was bleeding. She tried to get up when her eyes caught sight of a few foto frames on the table and all of them held her pictures and 'I love you' was written on all of them with' blood. She realized he truly was a maniac'

PART 3

"raam pls"she closed her eyes and held her head as he bent down on his knees and helped her get up.
"what naina? Plss what? Tum bhi janti ho k tum mere sath hi rehna chahti ho to phir kiyun kar rahi ho ye sb?" he held her arms tightly and shook her.
"raam!" she pleaded again without looking at his face.
"bas naina its ok! M sorry han. Choti si chot hai theek hojayegi" he rubbed his hand over her wound to wipe the blood off but his harsh rub made her cry in pain and she tried to pull away.
"naina tumhain bhi mujhse dar lag raha hai??"
"nahi'nahi" she replied scared.
"to phir tum mujhse door kiyun jarahi ho?"
"raam mujhe jana hai" she tried to calm herself down.
"kahin nahi jana tumhain aj naina. Hum subha hote hi shadi kar lenge phir koi tumhari zabardasti shadi nahi karega"
"raam pls mujhe jane do"
"kahan jana hai tumhain naina? Han us jhoot ki duniya main jahan tumhare liye dukh k ilawa or kuch bhi nahi! I promise naina main tumhain hamesha khush rakhunga" he held her tightly in his arms and pulled her in a hug.
"bas naina sb theek hojayega. Main hun na" he thought he was consoling her while naina caught a vase on the table and hit his head from behind. He yelled and held his head while she ran towards the door. She turned the knob but it was locked and she didn't have time to open it so she ran inside while raam held her.
"naina! Naina kahan jarahi ho tum? Mujhe pata tha naina tum mujhse dar rahi ho! Plss naina main tumhare baghair bilkul akela hun" he kept talking while following her inside. Naina ran and collided with a shelf. She tapped the surroundings with her hands on the counter while the moonlight from the windows helped her figure out that it was kitchen. She quickly took steps forward and found the fridge and hid behind it quickly.
"naina!! Naina kahan ho tum? Tum mujhse kiyun chup rahi ho?" naina held her breath and kept her hand on her chest to calm her heartbeat while she prayed for help. She knew raam had come inside the kitchen but he was with the lamp and she knew she would be caught. She looked sideways for escape but all she could find was a knife stand. She slowly stretched out her hand to take out the knife but as she stretched her hand he caught her wrist and pulled her out of there.
"raam chodo mujhe"
"tum bhi waisi hi ho naina? Tumhain bhi lagta hai k main pagal hun?"
"raam let me go" she pulled her arms away from him but he held her even more tightly hurting her.
"kiyun naina main ne to hamesha tumse pyaar kiya tha na phir tum ne aisa kaise socha?"
"raam main sirf usi se pyaar karti hun jisse main ne sagayi ki tumse na to main ne kabhi pyaar kiya tha or na hi karti hun" she told him fiercely. He looked at her face for a moment and then slapped hard on her face. His strong hand made her lips bleed and she cried.
"tumhari jhoot bolne ki aadat gayi nahi na naina! Ab bhi waise hi jhoot bolti ho per ye jhoot tumhara mujhe takleef de raha hai. Plss bas karo" he said and loosened his grip on her arms and she took advantage of it and flipped around taking out the knife. She was about to hit him with it when he caught her hand and twisted it behind her back making the knife cut her arm.
"bas karo naina bohat hogaya ye khel ab lets try something serious. Kb se intazar kiya tumhara main ne k tum aogi or meri adhuri zindagi puri karogi" he caressed her hair and neck with his lips. She felt filthy and creepy and disgusted by his touch. She pulled away from him but he snatched the knife away from her hand and her hand got slashed with the knife. She held her hand yelling with pain.
"dekha mujhse door jane ka anjaam" he said making fun of her and she pushed him away angrily but he slashed the back of her neck with the knife. It was a deep cut and she was bleeding already.
"aisi hi takleef horahi hai mujhe bhi is waqt maina kiyun k tum mujhse door ho." He placed the knife on the shelf and held her hand and started pulling her out,
"chalo bas already bohat der hogayi hai n kitni raat hogayi hai n tum thak bhi gayi ho"
"raam plsss!" she pleaded in pain as he held her hand tightly that was bleeding. She held a table on her way for support but it turned over and some glass crockery fell over and she stepped on them bare footed because she had taken her shoes off in the kitchen to make less noise. But still he kept dragging her. The glass was pricking under her feet and tears of pain with yells were coming from her but he had no mercy for her. Suddenly his feet got tangled with something while pulling her that he fell over. She took advantage of the distraction and limped quickly wherever her instinct took her and only stopped when something pointed hit her knees. She silenced her yell and bent down to hold her knee while the glass still was pierced in her feet. She realized it was the side table by the bed she got hit with. She quickly rolled down beneath it and raised her knees close to her chest while tears of pain kept rolling down her face. She took out the big pieces of glass controlling her cries. Her eyes were closed when she suddenly heard her name called by raam in sing song manner,
"naina! Oh naina! Plss come to me na! acha ek baar to bahar ao!" naina kept her hand over her mouth and controlled her sobs. Suddenly everything went quiet, his footsteps, his voice, her breathing. She kept praying with her eyes closed when suddenly a hand pranced on her feet. She screamed loudly,
"Common naina! You are too much and this is more than enough for me" he dragged her out and caught her hair pulling her and threw her on the bed.
"raam no plss let me go" she screamed and pleaded but he slapped her hard on her face. She hit him with her knee but he caught her leg and pinned it down with his own knee hurting her badly. She struggled with her arms to push him away and hit him but he pinned her wrists down on the bed as well. She screamed for help, cried and pleaded him.
In all the clashes they both ignored the sound of door banging and then the breaking of window glass. Raam had torn her sleeves from shoulders, his nails scratched her skin and she felt she might break her bones from his violent weight and what he was trying to do. She continuously tried to struggle but from blood loss and pain from all the wounds her body was already weakened. When she was about to lose hope of rescue suddenly the weight from her shifted away but she was so weak and hurt that she didn't managed to open her eyes and see what happened. Instead she raised her knees to her chest taking her arms close to her chest and rolled to her side in pain and cried bitterly. She didn't even heard all the thrashing and crashing in the room.
Yuvi had just reached in time but he thought he was late. He had knocked like mad on the door but when he heard naina's screams he broke the window from backside and barged in and caught raam abusing her. He hit him till he was unconscious and took out all his frustration and anger over him. His tension because naina had left and his anger for raam who had hurt her was all coming out in his every punch and throw. Finally when raam wasn't even able to move, yuvi ran to naina.
"naina! It's me" he called and sat on his knees on the bed to help her up but she slid away from him in fright. He got shocked by her slipping away and stretched out his hand for her to help her up but as his hand touched her shoulder she screamed in fright and moved away while yuvi felt warm liquid on his hands. He raised his hands and saw enough in the moonlight that it was blood'

PART 4

His stomach twisted to see so much blood from her body and her weakened and frightened self. All his anger came back. He frowned and leaned closer to naina,
"it's ok! It's just me! Yuvi!" he told her and another shock hit him when she slipped away frightened again after knowing his identity. He caught her upper arm gently and pulled her carefully to him while soothed her back with his other hand embracing her without caring about all the blood soaking in his clothes.
"kuch nahi hua. sb theek hai. Chalo naina! Utho!" she calmed down a little by his soothing. As he helped her get up, she groaned a little from pain. He looked at her once and then scooped her up in his arms gently and easily due to her light weight. He carried her outside and his eyes caught sight of her paintings in the room which was placed in the moonlight. He still had the frown on his face and he carried her outside in his car and gently laid her on the car seat easing the head rest back to lie her down.
He drove as fast as he could and came back to Mumbai while she was almost unconscious. He thought he couldn't take her to sanjivani because questions would be asked from her as well as from him, neither could he take her to Dr.shashank's place because he would also question them so he took her to his own place.
He carried her inside his guest room and laid her on the bed. She lied down with a groan and turned over on her side to avoid the touching of her wound on her back with the bed. He saw the wound and quickly ran out to get a few bandages, cotton, water bowl and ointment. He came back and sat on the bed beside her and first caught her hand carefully that had a cut on her palm. The cut was really ugly and he washed it first carefully with the cotton dipped in water and bandaged her hand after applying ointment caringly while blowing on her hand to sooth her pain. She didn't even winced in pain as usually other girls did at even a small pain.
He wanted to first deal with all the big wounds and then with the bruises. He turned her a little but she pushed his hand away frightened by his touch on her body. He looked at her face and he saw terror on her face,
"Please no!" she pleaded and he realized that it wasn't because of pain. She was pleading him not to abuse her. He felt hurt after years of emotions lost in him.
"naina main sirf tumhain'"
"nahi! Pls don't" she said again without listening to him and tried to move away. He left her hand and sat back without touching her at all. He understood her situation of mistrust and he didn't want to force her to trust him eventhough he longed to hold her tightly in his arms and console her but he hated to show his emotions. Only she had aroused all the emotions back in him.
"m not gonna hurt you at all naina! I promise" he said with so much intensity that she could feel it. She stopped moving away and turned her face away and murmured,
"its hurting me" she referred to her wounds.
"I'll heal them just trust me" he said still not touching her and she nodded her head softly.
He touched her carefully not to make her feel uncomfortable and assuring her that he would only touch her when she wanted. He washed and bandaged the ugliest wound on her back of neck to her shoulder from where her dress was even torn. He was about to get up and get some clean clothes for her when he saw blood on the foot side of the bed. He frowned and bent to see her feet all soaked in blood. He held her feet carefully in his laps and washed them as well. Suddenly she cried and held the bedspread tightly in her fist. His head shot up to see her face buried in the mattress. He put the cotton down and touched her feet with his bare hand softly and realized there were broken pieces of glass pierced in her feet. He carefully took them out while cleaning all the blood so that he could see and then bandaged her feet.
After a long time in his life he could feel someone's pain. He could feel his life again dark because one girl who brought a little smile on his face was now hurt and he feared probably that smile would vanish forever and making his life dark again.
"mujhe hospital jana hai" naina's weak voice broke in his ears after two days.
"kiyun tabiyat ziada kharab horahi hai?" he asked while he was sitting on the chair near the window and reading newspaper having his morning tea. She had been suffering with fever since these two days and wasn't even able to speak or stay awake for more than an hour.
"nahi duty per jana hai" she replied.
"chup chap leti raho" he commanded in his casual lazy tone.
"mujhe ghar jana hai" she said again.
"dr.shashank k? noways!"
"nahi mujhe apne ghar jana hai." She cleared.
"ghar jaogi to papa puchenge'" yuvi started but naina interrupted him irritated.
"yuvi I just wanna go home. Jahan main rehti thi rent per"
"akele?"
"han!"
"No" he said simply not once looking at her or showing any concern.
"Who the hell do you think you are? M going right now" she raised her tone and was highly frustrated by his attitude. She threw the blanket away from top of her and was about to get up when yuvi stood up lazily and came closer to the bed. She got a little scared and backed away. He noticed her gesture and his jaw clenched.
"kal chali jana." He said simply putting his hands in his pockets and looked away.
"Mujhe abhi jana hai" she said stubbornly.
"khana lata hun" he said and turned away without paying any attention to her protests.
"Mujhe nahi khana" she said but he didn't listened to her and went out. She threw her head back on the head rest and sighed deeply holding her hair in frustration.
"naina soup pi lo"
"Mujhe nahi peena" she said her head turned away and looking away from him. He stayed calm and raised the spoon full of soup and blew to make it cool and took it to her lips. She shook her head away and it got spilled on her face. He raised his hand quickly to wipe it off,
"Don't" she shielded her face with both her hands in fear and he drew his hands away and took the napkin up and cleaned the blanket. She lowered her hands and watched him cleaning the blankets. She looked at him suspiciously and as he raised his eyes to meet hers she looked away quickly. He handed her the napkin to clean her face. She raised her bandaged hand and took the napkin. She started to clean her face but her hand ached and she couldn't apply pressure. He held his hand over the napkin to stop her and took it away as she allowed him to. He carefully cleaned her mouth without touching her with bare hands and only the cloth touched her face. He was careful of her bruised lip as well. She kept looking at his gestures and she had formed trust that he wouldn't hurt her. He again raised the bowl to feed her and this time she hesitatingly allowed him.
"naina mujhe kuch kaam hai main bahar jaraha hun kuch dair tak ajaonga" he told her as he wore his jacket but she didn't responded and didn't even looked at him. He knew she was pretending to not notice him and went out.
He had his mind all the time on naina that what if she went out or how was she going to manage alone. He had come out to get medicines for her and few grocery. He hadn't left her since last two days moreover she wasn't really conscious as well. He felt nice to have her around in the house and taking care of someone while having a feeling that someone needed him was a feeling of contentment after years of loneliness. He had forgotten this feeling. He did all the chores quickly and reached in two hours back home.
He went in her room straight but she wasn't there.
"dammit" he hit his fist on the door angrily. He knew she might leave. He walked in long and angry strides and reached the main door but as he was about to open the door his eyes caught sight of the garden outside from the wall glass window and his hands slid down suddenly.
She was bent down and was taking off the withered leaves from the creepers outside in his garden and from the plants. She had her shawl wrapped around her and had a plastic bag in her hands in which she was putting all of them. She didn't had her usual smile on her face but she looked beautiful in the sunlight and the nature perfectly suited her and blended with her natural beauty. She was totally unaware of the fact that he was present there and looking at her from the glass.
When she thought the plants were done she threw the bag in the trash can and started limping around a little difficult due to the pain. His eyes were locked on her every single move and was mesmerized by her. he was touched by the fact that she cared for his house.
Her eyes caught sight of a tennis ball in a corner. She picked it up casually and threw it on the wall and caught it back. She kept doing it standing at one place when suddenly the incident flashed across the mind and she threw the ball so hard that it came back with a force but she caught it accidentally. She heard a soft and lazy clap,
"that was a good catch"
"that was an accidental catch" she used one liner just like him and he raised his one brow at her while she kept throwing and catching. He realized she might get sick more if she stayed here for a long time and kept going like this.
"andar chalo thand hai bahar" he made an excuse.
"mujhe ghar jana hai abhi" she said while throwing the ball.
"kal main khud tumhain chod aonga. Bas aj ka din"
"aj hi kiyun nahi?" she caught the ball and for the first time looked at him with her attention but angrily.
"kiyun k tum abhi theek nahi ho"
"main bilkul theek hun"
"zid mat karo or chalo andar" he said and went inside while she threw the ball angrily away and followed him inside''

PART 5

"naina lao main bandage kar deta hun"
"main khud kar lungi" she sat in the chair and tried to bandage the wound that was on the back of her neck but the wound was big so she couldn't get the bandage on the right place and by taking off the bandage the wound was bleeding lightly again. Yuvi stood behind her while she tried to bandage that last wound. She had managed with all the other ones without letting him touch even once.
"main ne kaha na mujhe do" he stretched out his hand to her.
"yuvi tumhain kuch karne ki zarurat nahi hai. Jao yahan se main khud kar lungi" she was irritated by him lately.
"fine" he said but remained standing there while she kept trying to do her bandaging. When she couldn't yuvi stepped forward and took it away from her and without looking at her he angrily and roughly started bandaging her. She flinched in pain as his hands went roughly over her but he stopped immediately and said,
"I'm sorry" she didn't replied instead looked down on the floor. He knew she was thinking something and she needed to talk about it. He had seen her expressions. He finished and sat down on the bed beside the chair joining his hands but didn't look at her neither did she look at him. After a few moments she spoke,
"He was my best friend. Hum college main aksar sath rehte thay per fark itna tha k mere or bhi friends thay per uska mere siva or koi nahi tha. Uskay paas to uskay parents, bhai behen koi bhi nahi tha. Main apni life main itni busy rehti thi k usko kabhi ustarha notice hi nahi kiya'" she trailed off as if she was remembering him from the past, "han beech main kuch time hum serious huay per wo bhi bas isiliye kiyun k sb ne hamari dosti ko or naam dena shuru kar diya isliye humne khud hi aisa show kar diya k hum' shayad isiliye usay laga k main'main ne kabhi socha bhi nahi tha k wo aisa hojayega. He was mentally ill that's why he did it" yuvi's head shot up to her.
so she thought he wasn't on fault?
"usko to shayad ye bhi nahi pata tha k wo kar kiya raha tha" she kept saying and yuvi's anger took over him but he said nothing.
"He needed help" she said still in her thoughts but she knew yuvi's all attention was on her. She could feel it. He looked at her face and his heart suddenly melted all his anger away. Who was this girl who cared for a maniac who had abused her?? she cared for him(yuvi) when he behaved harshly with her?? she was perhaps some 'angel! He stopped his thoughts and got up bringing her back out of her thoughts as he started to go out without saying anything to her.
"kahan jarahe ho?"
"sanjivani!"
"main bhi chalti hun phir waheen se ghar bhi'"
"tum aj sanjivani nahi arahi ho. Sham ko ghar drop kar dunga" he said and with that he went out.

"hey yuvi kahan that u yaar teen din se?" sid asked.
"bas kuch kaam tha"
"hi yuvi.umm tum to agaye per pata nahi naina kiyun nahi ayi!" tamanna said
"kal tk ajayegi wo bhi" said yuvi and went away to follow his duty.

By mid day he went in path lab to get some files and he saw a girl with her hair tied roughly with a clip on her head, she wore a simple and causal salwaar kameez while her dupatta was around her neck. She was busy in her work and she had her back to yuvi. Yuvi walked forward in his usual silent long and strong strides that made her not notice him but he did felt a little familiar fragrance and an air of familiarity. He was about to turn away after glancing at her when he suddenly realized her back of the neck was having a bandage. He frowned and turned to see her and looked at her from head to toe. It didn't take him even a second to notice her. he looked down at her feet and realized that she was standing with a little difficulty and as she moved she was limping and even her movements were a little confused but she was absorbed in her work.
Naina felt goose bumps at the back of her neck as if someone was watching her. She turned around abruptly not to wait for somebody else to prance on her again and saw yuvi just a few inches away from her. She backed clumsily dropping the test tube on the floor and got unbalanced. She caught the shelf behind her while yuvi caught her waist. Before she even balanced herself she pushed his hand away from her. yuvi looked at her hand and then at her face and backed away two steps from her not to scare her. he could understand her tension.
"yahan kiyun ayi ho tum?" he asked calmly but had a frown on his forehead.
"mera bhi utna hi hospital hai jitna ye tumhara"
"jo pucha hai usi ka jawab do" he knew he wouldn't get straight answer from her.
"main tumhain koi jawab dena zaruri nahi samajhti" she replied rudely and stepped to walk away from him but instead of grabbing her hand as he wanted to do so much he stepped in front of her and spoke carefully and caringly,
"naina tum abhi theek nahi ho! Sirf isiliye mana kiya tha tumhain yahan anay se. sb sau sawal puchenge tumari ye haalat dekh k'"
"tumhain isse koi concern nahi hona chahiye! Wo meri problem hai main sambhal lungi tum apni problems sambhalo" she said and started to walk out limping.
"tum mere liye koi problem nahi ho" he said from behind her.
"really! Yunhi achanak kaise?? Kal tk to mujhse peecha chudane k tareeqay dhundne the or ab jb ye sb'"
"hey naina tum yahan kb ayi?" tamanna interrupted them coming inside and saw them both there.
"hi' hi tamanna bas abhi kuch der hi hui hai" naina turned to see her and replied a little nervously.
"ye kiya hua hai tumhare chehre pe?" tamanna came close to her and asked.
"wo'"
"or ye hath pe kiya hua?" she caught her hand carefully.
"tamanna actually'"
"or ye kiya huliya banaya hua hai tumne?" she asked again looking at her from head to toe.
"ummm wo' main'"
"tamanna actually naina ka Saturday ko accident hua tha usi ki wajah se chot lag gayi" yuvi covered up for her and naina shot a glance at him.
"accident?? Kaisa accident? Tumne bataya kiyun nahi?"
"wo meri tabiyat bohat kharab thi isliye" naina replied to tamanna.
"humain batati to hum ajate na tumhare pas"
"ab theek hun main tamanna tum tension mat lo"
"acha chalo break hai caf chalet hain. Baqi sb se mili?" naina shook her head lightly.
"chalo unse bhi mil lete hain." Tammana held her from her shoulder and took her out.
Yuvi was waiting for her to turn and look at him and she did just before she went out with tamanna and yuvi's face lit with a twitch playing at the corner of his mouth. He didn't know why he became happy by her looking at him but he did.

"naina tum betho hum tumhare liye coffee late hain" tamanne said as they both sat in caf.
"main khud le lungi tamanna" naina began to stand up.
"bethi raho tumhare pair main bhi chot lagi hai"
"ok" naina smiled.
"hey naina" naina turned around to see mac standing behind her.
"mac! Tum yahan?" naina asked a little surprised to see her.
"han bas yuvi se milne aya tha" he replied coming towards her table and sitting in front of her.
"tum usse kiyun milne aye thay?" she asked suspiciously.
"dun worry kuch jhagda nahi karma tha. After all dost hai wo mera" he smiled and replied.
"huh dost?" she said sarcastically.
"naina I was just thinking k mere n yuvi k beech jo kuch bhi hai uski wajah se hum bhi theek se nahi mile"
"mtlab?"
"matlab mera or tumhara to koi jhagda hai hi nahi or na hi tha kabhi to phir hum kiyun jhagda Karen"
"kehna kiya chahte ho tum?" she knew what he meant but she wanted to get it clearly from him.
"seedhi si baat hai hum dost kiyun na ban jayen"
"or yuvi?"
"yuvi se mere sare conflicts sort out hogaye hain" he told her to assure her that he wasn't using her.
"really?"
"chaho to usse puch lo" he said and naina looked away to analyze him.
"itna kiya soch rahi ho I can be a good friend" he smiled at her.
"pehle hum ek doosre ko jaan len phir friendship bhi kar lenge kiyun k main har kisi se khamakha dosti nahi karti"
"fair enough so watsup?" he started his conversation.
Tamanna had gone for her duty while naina and mac kept sitting there talking. They were laughing when yuvi came inside caf. He saw both of them talking and naina laughing at something mac had said. He felt something heavy in his stomach and went ahead.
"hi mac! Tu yahan?"
"hey yuvi ao na betho" mac slid a chair out beside him.
"shayad kuch logon ko mera yahan bethna acha na lage" said yuvi glancing at naina from the back but she didn't even look back to see him instead raised her brows frustatingly.
"kiski baat kar raha hai tu?" mac asked looking at naina knowing that yuvi was talking about her.
"jiski kar raha hun wo to samajh hi gaya hoga" yuvi kept looking at her from her back.
"main chalti hun mac c u later" she stood up abruptly but didn't turn to look at him.
"array tum kahan jarahi ho?" mac asked her.
"mere pas faltoo ki bakwaas sunne ka time nahi hai kisi ki" naina said to mac and went out.
"kiya hua hai?" mac asked as yuvi sat down on naina's chair.
"kuch nahi!" yuvi replied without showing any concern.
"phir se jhagda kiya tu ne usse?" mac asked.
"mac'" yuvi started warningly.
"dekh yuvi main ne tujhse pehle bhi kaha hai k naina bohat achi ladki hai. Kiyun usay takleef pohnchata hai?"
"tujhe bohat fikr horahi hai uski" yuvi said sarcastically.
"or tujhe jalan!" mac told him.
"shut up mac" yuvi got angry.
"fine per wo tujhse pyaar karti hai"
"huh pyaar! Baat to theek se karti nahi" said yuvi looking away.
"mujhse baat karne se pehle usne ye assurity li hai k main tujhe koi nuksaan nahi pohnchaonga"
"what??" yuvi shot a glare at mac.
"han tabhi mujhse baat karne per raazi hui hai wo" mac told and yuvi got lost in his own thoughts''

PART 6
Yuvi had seen naina and mac most of the time together. He had started visiting her in sanjivani everyday and she had started to spend time with him. It had only been four days since all this started and yuvi was loosing his patience already. He was irritated all the time. Yuvi and naina both ignored and avoided eachother but in the nights yuvi had lost his sleep and even if he did slept he only had dreams of naina with mac or with him. He was frustrated in sanjivani and avoided talking with anybody at all.
He was standing beside his window loking out when his eyes caught sight of the shawl that naina had worn when he had brought her home. He thought of returning it to her as an excuse to talk to her.
"naina!!" yuvi called her in lunch break when she was heading towards the caf but she didn't stop. Yuvi caught up with her in three long strides,
"main ne roka tha tumhain!"
"jo kehna hai jaldi kaho mac wait kar raha hoga" naina said without looking at him an kept walking at a slow pace while yuvis hand clenched in a fist on her shawl.
"ye tumhari shawl! Tum mere ghar per hi bhul ayi thi" he handed it to her.
"thanx", yuvi was about to walk away when naina stopped him, "yuvi!" he turned back to her and she spoke guiltily,
"thanks yuvi"
"kisliye?"
"m'meri help karne k liye or mera khayal rakhne k liye"
"its ok" said yuvi casually and she turned away from him.
"naina!"
"hmmm" naina turned around to face him as he called her.
"mac or tum'?"
"mac or main kiya?" she asked sharply.
"tum or mac kuch ziada hi close ho rahe ho" he said casually.
"to?" she said rudely.
"just wanted to tell you k mac ko mujhse behtar koi nahi janta or wo'"
"ok so tumhain problem horahi hai k main mac k sath dosti kiyun kar rahi hun? right? You know what yuvi I just dun understand you k tumhari problem kiya hai khud hi kehte ho k door raho or jb door rehti hun to bhi masla" naina got angry.
"naina mac bhi waisa hi hai jaisa k main hun"
"ghalat! Mac tum jaisa bilkul nahi hai" she pointed her finger at him.
"really? Chaar(4) din main itne ache se jaan gayi use?" he asked sarcastically.
"han jaan gayi or itna hi kaafi hai k wo tumhare jaisa nahi hai"
"kiyun aisa kiya kar diya usne jo main nahi kar paya?"
"yuvi' just' go away and leave me alone" she wantedt o say something but was controlling herself and yuvi wanted to know what was it that had created this stone wall.
"I won't jb tk tum mujhe batati nahi"
"tumhari problem to samajh hi nahi ati mujhe. Jealous tum ho nahi sakte to phir'"
"jealous kiyun nahi hosakta?" he asked surprisingly by this sudden exclusion of jealousy and he realized he actually was jealous.
"kiyun k jealous wo hote hain jin main koi feelings hon n tum main sivae taras khane k or ghussay k or koi feelings nahi" she blurted out angrily.
"taras?" he was shocked.
"han wohi jo tum mujh per kha rahe ho"
"kiya??" he was confused by her behavior. She had lost it totally.
"dun act so innocent yuvi. Hum dono jante hain k ye acha behavior mere sath sirf isiliye tha tumhara kiyun k mere sath jo bhi hua uski wajah se tum mujh per taras kha rahe the"
"naina tum ghalat soch rahi ho" he tried to clear.
"acha! Main ghalat soch rahi hun to us sb ka kiya hua k 'naina mujhse door raho' and all. Suddenly itni fikr kiyun hone lag gayi hai tumhain meri?"
"isliye kiyun k'" anger had started to boil inside him when she interrupted again.
"u know what tum se hazaar darjay acha hai mac kiyun k kam se kam wo mujh per taras kha kar mujhse dosti nahi kar raha and besides he is normal unlike you"
"naina you are'" he started dangerously towards her.
"I know m crossing my limits. I have always had yuvi. Tumhain ab pata chala? Chalo acha hai pata to chala. Ab tum bhi khush raho or main bhi khush rahungi kiyun k tum to pyaar nahi karte na mujhse" she blurted again.
"or tum??" he asked.
"main kiyun karne lagi tumse pyaar" naina looked away straight ignoring him but yuvi had seen the glint of moist in her eyes that she blinked away.
"meri taraf dekh kar kaho"
"mujhe tumhari shakal dekhne ka koi shauk nahi jisme mere liye sivaye sympathy k or kuch nahi" she said with hatred and was about to walk away when yuvi grabbed her upper arm and pushed her inside the fire escape with himself and backed her with the wall holding her arms tightly totally forgetting all the care and gentleness that he had done for her. She had raised this wild animal inside him and now she would face him no matter what. But she didn't seem to be scared of him instead she defied him always openly.
"yuvi chodo mujhe" she tried to struggle as he pined her hands with the wall.
"meri achai ko tum sympathy ki nazar se dekhti ho to kiya yahi yuvi chahiye tumhain jo har waqt ghussa kare?" he said through clenched teeth but he hadn't yet closed to her. he tried to lok straight in her eyes but she didn't looked in his eyes.
"mujhe yuvi chahiye hi nahi" she said angrily but in a low voice.
"to kiya chahiye tumhain?" he tightened his grip on her wrist and she pushed her head back in pain.
"kuch nahi" she said painfully.
"mac?? Mac chahiye" he forced her wrists back as she tried to struggle again.
"shut up yuvi. Mujhe jane do"
"kiyun ub nahi lag raha tumhain k main tum per taras kha raha hun?"
"yuvi stop it"
"or kiya sabot chahiye tumhain naina k main tumhare liye koi sympathy feel nahi karta"
"tum chahte kiya ho? What's your problem?" she shot at him and looked straight in his eyes but his intensity and passion was incomparable to her so she looked away again.
"meri problem sirf itni hai k main janta hun k tumhain meri koi zarurat nahi. Tum bohat strong ho or khud ko sambhal sakti ho" he confessed to her and told the truth.
"such kaha tumne yuvi mujhe tumhari koi zarurat nahi hai" but she shot back again making him lose his control. He pulled her down the stairs and pushed her with the wall down and twisted her both arms behind her back.
"yuvi!!" she cried as her stomach twisted in knots by such closeness.
"Per mujhe zarurat hai!" he said with so much passion in his voice that naina couldn't look at him but she felt her legs weakening in his arms when he said he needed her. She tried to get her arms free only to find his hands tightening around her wrist and his other hand locking in her fingers and holding them tightly.
"yuvi pls!" she whispered pleadingly. She had expected him to be angry with her but not this'
yuvi kept gazing at her face making her legs weak. She kept trying to get free but his strong was not going to loosen. Suddenly he said in a caring tone,
"How much has he hurt you!" he exclaimed and naina looked at his face surprised by his moods changing. His eyes were on her healing wounds and she could see pain in his eyes. She had never wanted to see pain in his eyes and she herself was hurt to see that worry on his face.
She didn't know what to do when he leaned closer to her and kissed her wound on forehead. She closed her eyes at first in fright but as his lips touched her skin softly her fear subsided and a new feeling that she had buried came out. Her heart raced as his lips trailed down on her cheek where she had been bruised. Slowly he let go of her arm that he had twisted but she didn't had enough strength to move away besides he was still holding her other hand. He raised his hand and moved her loose tendrils behind her neck and his eyes caught sight of the line of wound on her neck. He bent his head slowly and placed a soft kiss there. Naina shivered by his touch and she flinched a little. He raised his face to her and caressed her jaw line with his fingers. His eyes caught sight of her rosy and moist lips but her throat was dry.
He leaned closer to her lips. She lost her senses, all her fears as she felt his breathing close to her. his strong cologne intoxicating her while her fragrance was making him insane. His lips just touched hers when they suddenly heard the door open,
"yuvi??" yuvi turned around quickly still holding naina but his lips brished hers and suddenly all the magic broke and her eyes shot open. mac was too shocked what his eyes saw that he couldn't react and naina couldn't see mac. She could only see yuvi and what was about to happen. she jerked her hands free and ran out of the fire escape pushing mac out of her way. Yuvi just stared after her.
"ye' ye sb kiya tha yu'" mac was too shocked to say something clearly.
"stay out of it mac" yuvi warned him sharply.
"I am but its just that'aren't' you going a little' too fast?"
"you just stay out of this and stay away from her" yuvi stepped up the stairs as mac came down.
"naina is a really nice girl and I like her a lot'" mac put his hands in his pockets and smirked.
"mac!!" yuvi warned him again, this time angrily.
"but I knew you felt something for her that's why I did this. you know bieng friends with her and all otherwise m not interested in her that way" mac cleared the misunderstanding that was building inside yuvi.
"or wo?" yuvi asked about naina still frowning and angry with the way mac had interrupted them.
"shayad jane anjane main wo bhi ye sb jaan bujh kar hi kar rahi thi." mac stepped down and stood beside yuvi resting with the railing.
"din main bhoot dikhenge bechari ko" mac smiled and teased.
"kiya?" yuvi got confused.
"hmmm! Shakal dekhi thi uski? Tu jiske bhi pas jata hai dara hi deta hai"
"yahi to dar hai k wo bhi dur chali jayegi" yuvi said resting his back with the wall opposite to mac and looked at the ceiling and thinking about her.
"nahi jayegi! Tu jane hi mat dena to nahi jayegi or han ye apna angry young man look thoda change kar na yaar bohat time se yahi hogaya hai phir dekhna m sure wo kaheen nahi jayegi. So u were jealous??" mac tried to make yuvi chill out.
"shut up mac" yuvi smirked and raised one brow at him, "chal main chalta hun"
"thappad kahyega" mac reffered to naina as yuvi stepped up.
"kha lunga" yuvi said stopping but didn't look back.
"wow yuvi ek ladki se thappad khane ko tayyar! Amazing" mac teased again.
"c u" said yuvi smilingly yet casually.
"bye" said mac and yuvi went out.

Naina's head and sight was still not clear, her heart beat was still not normal, she was still sweating, her throat was stil dry, and her body was still weak. It was almost 10 to 15 mins since everything happened' but still she could feel his presence, his warmth, his smell, his breathing, his grasp, his body close to her and ' and his lips brushing against her. She shook her head and drank another glass of cold water. She held her head bent down on the table and tried to calm herself. How could she have lost control over herself? She was frustrated with herself. Holding her hair tightly with one hand, she reached out for another glass of water but she realized the jug was empty. Irritated, she moved her hand back. She realized her shoulders ached. She rubbed the muscle at the back of her neck holding her head up but her eyes closed. As she opened her eyes, she found a glass of water in front of her eyes; she held the glass immediately,
"thank you" she murmered and started drinking the content.
"pi lo shayad kuch sukun ajaye" she splutter out the water from her mouth, coughing as she heard the voice and jerked up and two steps away from the table nearly falling over. She turned around and saw yuvi standing lazily resting with the round table and his arms crossed across his chest. He had a mischievous smile playing at the corner of his lips and naina felt like punching his face. She clenched her fist still looking at him but suddenly the feeling flashed across her mind that she had felt when his lips had brushed against hers and she shook her head away and started to pick up her things.
"kahan jarahi ho??" he asked casually but she could hear the mischief in his voice and that irritated her.
"jahan tum na ho" she snapped without looking at him.
"aisi to koi jagah hai nahi" he stepped forward and she stepped back, dropping her files.
"tum' tum door raho mujhse" she said while bending to pick up her things.
"ye to meri line hai" he smirked and told her as she stood up.
"its been a long time since you used it and I think you need it more at the moment than I do" she said through her clenched teeth and turned away to go out.
"what I need is only what you can give me" he said from behind starting to follow her.
"yuvi tum door raho mujhse. Pas mat ana" she spinned around suddenly pointing her finger at him. He saw innocent nervousness in her eyes. She was getting intimidated and nervous by him and he was enjoying it.
"to kahan jaon agar tumhare pas na aon to or waise bhi mere bina tum kahan jaogi" he kept stepping close to her while she stepped back.
"don't try to act oversmart with me and don't over estimate yourself." She tried to act courageous. She could handle his anger, his attitude, his coldness, his rudeness but this' she didn't knew this yuvi and she was scared of this yuvi
"to tum bata do kiya karun?" he asked with his brow raised.
"ab agar tum ne paas ane ki koshish ki na to' to yaad rakhna m'mujhe ku'"
"yeah yeah I know! Tumhain kungfu ata hai. Per pata hai mujhe kiya ata hai?" he was trying to make her more nervous.
"m not interested" she looked away to seek a way out.
"but I am interested in telling you", as she backed with the glass door he leaned closer to her ear and whispered, "Mujhe kiss karna ata hai"
She felt her stomach twisting and without even looking at him she ran out of his reach and out of the caf. He kept gazing after her and as she reached at the end of the corridor, she glanced back at him and went away.
He was waiting for that glance. She looked cute when she was nervousness because she was unable to handle him like this and she wouldn't be able to handle him anyways. A closed valve in his heart had opened lately. He felt his heart light after years and he knew he had found the right person for himself who could fill that empty space and had already brought happiness in his life. He wanted her in his arms. He wanted to hold her close as he hadn't done in years after his parents and his brother died and he was left alone in this world'''..
PART 7
"hi guys" naina greeted cheerfully as she entered in the locker room.
"hi naina watsup??" sid asked wearing his lab coat.
"nothing yaar bas thand hai bohat" said naina rubbing her arms and walking upto her locker.
"right yar thand to bohat hai"
"naina tumhari kal surgery thi na dr.shubhankar k sath? Kaisi rahi?" tamanna asked sitting on the bench.
"thank God theek gayi. Hey listen, mac nahi aya?" naina asked turning around while folding her file.
"abhi tk to nahi aya per ajayega" said tamanna.
"tumhain bohat intazar hai uska" yuvi voice cracked in her ears as he came out lazily from the locker room and leaned his shoulder with her locker as she looked at him with irritation.
"han naina tum dono aj kal sath sath hi hote hai. Scene kiya hai?" said asked coming forward excitedly.
"koi scene nahi hai yar! Or agar hai bhi to kisi ko isse koi matlab nahi hona chahiye" naina replied looking at yuvi rudely and walked out.
"isay kiya hua?"sid asked surprised by her anger at yuvi.
"pata nahi." Tamana shrugged her shoulder while yuvi's lips twitched in a smirk.
yuvi was assisting in surgery with dr.kirti while all the other interns were sitting out and taking notes of the surgery. Yuvi was busy in the surgery when he felt butterflies in his stomach and as he looked up he realized naina was looking at him. Quickly she moved her gaze away and continued her notes but yuvi had got distracted.
"dr.yuvi apka dimagh kahan hai? Pay attention" dr.kirti scolded him and yuvi tried to concentrate on the surgery and not on her but his mind kept bothering him that naina was watching him. Nobody had ever bothered him like that the way she did and he was'
"dr.yuvraj!!" dr.kirti's voice didn't got through his ears.
"dr.yuvraj" dr.kirti raised her volume sternly.
"yes ma'am! Sorry'sorry ma'am" yuvi shook his head.
"get out" dr.kirti pointed towards the door.
"m sorry ma'am" yuvi apologized again.
"I said get out of here dr.yuvraj" dr.kirti didn't listened and yuvi went out. Everyone saw what happened but naina understood what had happened. She went after him.
Yuvi was sitting on the bech outside the OT his hands watched, his surgery coat and mask off. He was holding his head frustrated. Naina hesitatingly went forward holding her notepad close to her chest. Her heart beat was fast when she finally pl;aced her hand on his shoulder lightly.
"y'yuvi'it's'" before she could even say anything yuvi stood up and walked out of the OT without looking at her.
Yuvi sat in the locker room remembering what happened in the OT. He was angry and frustrated with himself. He heard a soft sound of footsteps. He stood up and opened his locker to avoid her. He knew it was naina. He could feel her presence even before she reached the locker room.
"jaon? Na jaon? Jaon? Na jaon? Wo upset hai! After all dr.kirti ne danta hai and usko to waise bhi apni reputation and image ka bohat khayal hota hai. Mujhe jana chahiye!... per agar wo ghussa hogaya to?? Koi baat nahi shayad ghussa kar k thanda hojaye" naina was thinking standing at the door and looking at yuvi.
She took a deep breath and stepped forward towards him. She stopped about three steps away from him,
"y'yuvi!" she called him but he didn't replied. He just stood like a statue with his hands on his waist and she knew that he was listening to her.
"it's'it's ok yuvi tum to jante hi ho dr.kirti ko!," when he didn't responded to whatever she said she gained a little courage that atleast he wasn't bursting on her, "wo to dantti hi hain sbko. Surgeries or bhi ajayengi. Ek surgery main gadbad hojane se kuch nahi hota. Phir tum to dr.shashank k sath bhi surgeries kar chuke ho or ek hi se thodi image kharab hojati hai. Tum ab bhi best doctor hi ho and I'm sure agli surgery bhi tumhain hi'"
"yuvi!!!" she cried out as he grabbed her elbow from his back and pulled her towards him slamming her with the locker.
"it's-not-about-surgery" he said frowning and held her upper arms tightly, his jaw clenched tightly.
"yuvi you'r hurting me!"
"its about you! Its all because of you" he shook her lightly but held her arms harshly.
"meri wajah se?? main ne kiya kiya?" she was shocked.
"tum wahan bethi thi"
"to??" she was horrified by his blame game.
"tumhari wajah se main kisi cheez per bhi attention nahi de pa raha hun! Sirf tumhari wajah se"
"tum pagal hogaye ho!" she exclaimed.
"really? Main pagal hogaya hun or jo kuch tum kar rahi ho uska kiya?"
"shut up yuvi! Pata nahi tumhain ho kiya gaya hai? Meri hi ghalti thi mujhe ana hi nahi chahiye tha yahan. Sadte rehte khud hi" she jerked her arms to let go.
"yeah or jb'" yuvi started but stopped as he heard everyone's voices heading towards locker room.
"yuvi chodo mujhe sb arahe hain" she tried to shake his hands off.
"meri baat abhi khatam nahi hui" he said showing no sign of concern for the approaching people.
"mujhe tumhari baat sunne main koi interest bhi nahi hai. Chodo mujhe" she whispered as they were all close when suddenly he pulled her away from the locker and dragged her inside the changing room locking the door of it.
"yuvi stop it! Jane do mujhe" she cried helplessly yet angrily. As he slammed her with the wall he covered her mouth with his hand and listened to the voices outside. Sid tamanna and jp were discussing the surgery and they hadn't noticed that naina and yuvi were misiing while naina was struggling hard to get out of his grip.
"sssshhh" he looked at her dangerously and she immediately stopped stuggling. Slowly he withdrew his hand from her mouth and spoke in a dangerously low voice.
"you must have realized by now k tum na hi mujhse door jasakti ho or na hi mujhse door reh sakti ho so it would be good for both of us if we accept what we feel. I hope you understand what I mean"
"I hate you" she whispered with so much anger in her voice that even her oice shook. yuvi raised his brow at her.
"bachpan se jhoot bolti ayi ho per ab bhi practice nahi hui. Did I ever tell you how bad of a liar you are?"
"I hate you beyond anything yuvi and this is a truth." She said with so much anger inside her that she felt she would break anytime.
"no it's not and you know it" he leaned closer to her face and she backed herself with the wall turning her face away from him. She moved to walk out when he placed his hand on the wall blocking her way.
"mujhe koi problem nahi tumhare sath dikhe jane main per tumhain zurur hogi"
"yuvi rasta chodo" naina said turned towards his hand.
"bahar sb bethe hain"
"I don't care. Anywhere's better than here and I'll take care of all the questions but you' you are insufferable, untolerabele'"
"itna bura hun to pas kiyun ati ho?"
"main tumhare pas nahi ayi yuvi! Or agar ayi bhi to ab jarahi hun na so bye" she waved her hand in front of his eyes smiling sarcastically. He took his hand away and she stepped forward towards the door. She stopped for a while and unbolted the door softly without making noise and peeked through the door,
"array baap re yahan to sari paltan bethi hai. Sb puchenge andar kiya kar rahi thi or ye duffer kahin ka apne sath sath mujhe bhi barbad karega" she said to herself worriedly.
"jao naina! Tumhain to mere sath rehna bilkul pasand nahi na" yuvi said teasing her. She looked at him angrily and said,
"han han jarahi hun tum meri fikr chodo apni fikr karo" she said and turned around again and saw sid standing while tamanna, sid and a few other doctors were also there. If only it would have been sid tamanna and jp she would have gone out but this was'"
"tum ho na meri fikr karne k liye"
"mujhe tumhari koi'." She turned her face to find him 'really' close to her, she put her hand on his shoulder and moved him back softly, "Pehle to tum door raho or doosra ye k mujhe tumhari koi fikr nahi."
"to phir mere peeche kiyun ayi thi jb main OT se bahar aya to?"
"dimagh kharab hogaya tha mere baap ab peecha chodo mera" she joined her hands in front of him and looked back outside the door.
"really!!! Do you really want me to leave you?" he asked amused breaking his whisper.
"sssshhhhh ahista bolo!!" she told him sternly and ignored his question.
"you haven't answered my question naina!"
"yuvi tum itna kiyun bolne lag gaye ho? Khamakha bekaar k sawal kiyun kar rahe ho?" she saw the other doctors leaving so she started to open the door but he caught her arm and pulled her inside but didn't closed the door. She collided with his chest,
"tum bahar isliye ayi thi kiyun k tumhain meri fikr horahi thi k main pareshan hun or ye jo tum natak karti ho na k tumhain mujhse irritation hoti hai is se mujhe bohat irritation hoti hai or agar meri irritation peak per gayi to'" he came close to her as if he was about to kiss her, she backed in a reflex and he smiled at her, "smart girl!" he said caressing her hair and left her hand and walked out leaving her shocked. He just walked out greeting everybody while everybody left with him as well.
Naina was taken aback by his sudden change of behavior. He was never interested in her neither did he ever show any sign of concern until now. He had shown care for her but not like this as he did now. She was often forced to think as if he might be getting'obsessed by her but' that wasn't possible. Yuvi couldn't fall for her as she was. What was she talking about'she already had fallen for him a long time ago but she was confused now. Why was he falling for her 'if' he was? She had to ask him that and she would. She had never been scared by him or even intimidated by him but this change in him was making him intimidating to her. On one hand she wanted to hide away from him but at the same time she liked being held in his arms. She often liked the closeness but often she felt scared that what if he left her?? He weaved some kind of magic around both of them whenever he was close to her that she lost her senses to think clearly. Even in nights she often woke up feeling his presence around or having some dream of him. She wondered whether he felt like that. Ofcourse not. Why would he? She had never allowed anyone to get close to her then why him. She liked being commented by good looking guys and being friends with them but she never had anything serious with anyone except'raam who got serious himself then why yuvi? Why did she got close to him at first place? She felt now as if her curiosities lead her to this disaster. Gosh' this one man would surely drive her crazy.

It had been an entire day and naina hadn't seen yuvi for once. She was thinking perhaps he was on leave today. Half of her mind was happy that atleast for one day she wouldn't have to be conscious of his presence but half of her mind was missing him but she let the 'missing part' move into her subconscious and started humming and singing to herself knowing that he wasn't there watching her or wouldn't grab her from the shadows. She had even asked sid and everybody else about him but no one had seen him as well.
"jaan-e jaan dhundta phir raha
hun tujhe raat din main yahan se wahan
mujhko awaz do
chup gaye ho kidhar
tum kahan?
Main yahan!
Tum kahan" naina sang in an overly dramatic manner in the locker room spinning around the room alone spreading her arms out and reached to her locker smiling to herself. As she took her file out and turned around she saw yuvi coming,
"mari gayi!" she exclaimed to herself and flipped to hide in the changing room but as she took a step a little higher to tip toe in again dramatic manner yuvi saw her and called her in an amused way,
"naina! Kahan thi tum? Kab se dhoond raha hun" and letting her know that he knew she was trying to hide away. Naina kept her one foot high and stopped on the spot and gave yuvi a smile with her 32 out and said,
"oh my God yuvi tum kab aye main bhi tumhain dhund rahi thi. What a coincidence na" she said dramatically sarcastic and put her foot down and looked away sulkingly.
"really! Mujhe pata that um mujhe hi dhund rahi hogi!" he smiled in his famous half sided and sarcastic smile. He stood beside her placing his hands over his waist.
"Whatever! waise the kahan tum subha se?" she asked out of curiosity.
"kiyun miss kar rahi thi mujhe?" he asked and she looked at him thinking to snap at him but his eyes caught her. For the first time ever she saw expectant shine in his eyes. She was lost for a moment and blinked when he suddenly winked at her. She shook her head away and started to walk out when he called her from behind,
"I'll see you around"
"And I'll never see you around" she said out of irritation and yuvi smiled at her back as she walked out.

"naina suno"
"han" naina turned around as yuvi approached her.
"wo bed no 32 k patient ki file tumhare pas hai?"
"oh han main bhul hi gayi k wo ab tumhara case hai. Sorry han ye lo" she took the file out from the bundle that she had in her hands.
"tum kahan jarahi ho?" he asked.
"general ward main duty hai"
"or uskay bad?"
"point per ao kiya kaam hai?" she asked raising her brows.
"mujhe tumse kiya kaam hoga! Main to yunhi time pass k liye puch raha tha" he smiled arrogantly and walked away.
"duffer" she cursed him and went in general ward.

"Kaveri di?" naina spotted a woman in her late 20s holding a baby of about two months in her hands. She had long brown hair with brown eyes and beautiful strong features. The woman turned her face to naina as she spotted her.
"Naina!"
"AP yahan kaise?" naina walked upto her and hugged her, "or ye baby?"
"Meri beti hai. Tu to agayi Mumbai gujrat se meri shadi k baad or tujhe batane ka moqa hi nahi mile k meri beti hui hai" kaveri told her as naina held the baby and cuddeled her in her arms.
"To ap yahan hospital main kiya kar rahi hain?" naina stood up still holding the baby and took prescription pad off the bed side in her hands.
"Kuch nahi bas appendix k liye yahan hun"
"Hmmm operation kab hai?" naina asked looking at the chart and frowningly placed it back while cradling the baby as she looked at naina with surprised eyes.
"3 din baad"
"Or iska naam kiya hai?" naina looked smilingly at the baby as if she was talking to her. The baby smiled at naina and naina kissed the baby.
"Umeed"
"Wow bohat pyaara naam hai or bohat pyari hai!" naina held the baby close to her and roced her lovingly in her arms while umeed smiled and made gurgling noises to her.
"Tum batao kaisi ho?" kaveri asked smiling at naina who was absorbed in the baby.
"Ek dum rocking ap batayen bhaiyya kahan hain?" naina asked sitting down beside kaveri but still holding the baby.
"Bhaiyya tumnhare France gaye hain. Urgent meeting se jana pada isliye main ne unko bataya bhi nahi k main yahan hun khamakha pareshan honge"
"Didi batana to chahiye tha. Unko kitna bura lagega k ap yahan akeli thi or wo wahan" naina got serious.
"Akeli kahan hun tu hai na mere pas" kaveri smiled at her.
"Han didi main hun or ab se apki zimadari meri hai ok" naina hugged kaveri and kissed the baby.
Kaveri lived in naina's colony when she was in gujrat and naina respected and loved kaveri as a sister while kaveri loved her as well because they were both the only child in their family and didn't had any other sibling so they got close to eachother. Kaveri needed a little sister and naina wanted an elder one so they both fulfilled eachother's needs and wishes.
Naina got close to really attached with umeed and she got attached with naina. Even in the nights whenever umeed wouldn't sleep or would cry naina would take care of her while all her movements and the attachment was being watched over by yuvi. He felt jealous as well as happy that naina was happy with the happy but jealous because he thought naina had forgotten him since she had her didi and the baby. Whereas naina hadn't for once forgotten yuvi, neither had he slipped out of her mind for a single second.
Naina was in the MIS room waiting for kaveri's report when yuvi arrived there.
"hi naina"
"oh hi" naina got a little surprised seeing him there.
"tum yahan kaise?" yuvi asked her.
"kaveri didi ki reports lene ayi hun. Aj sham ko unka operation hai na. I hope sb theek hojaye"
"tum unkay sath ho to sb theek hi hoga" yuvi said in a matter of factly way.
"I hope so. or tum yahan kiya kar rahe ho?"
"bas tumhara peecha karte karte agaya" yuvi said looking around.
"really now waise'" naina started but stopped as a nurse came in.
"dr.naina!"
"ji?"
"dr.kirti ne agle teen din tk apki night duty di hai. Aj se le kar Thursday tk. Duty board per bhi laga diya hai notice."
"ok thank you"
"night duty?" yuvi asked confused.
"han wo main ne hi dr.kirti ko bola tha night duty k liye. Kaveri didi akeli hongi na to main sath hojaonngi unkay isilye double shift karne ka socha."
"per naina tum teen din tk double shift kaise karogi?"
"kar lungi tum tension mat lo" naina said looking at the reports.
"main bhi rukta hun tumhare sath" yuvi told her.
"kiyun? Tum kiyun rukoge? Dekho yuvi mujhse ye bevaja ka lagao mat dikhao" naina closed the file and told him strictly and walked out of the room.
"ab lagao hai to dikhaonga hi" yuvi followed her.
"yuvi tumhain ho kiya gaya hai? Kiyun aise behave kar rahe ho jaise'" naina stopped in her way.
"jaise?" yuvi asked smirking knowing what she was about to say.
"mujhe nahi pata" naina got nervous and turned away from him but he caught her wrist and pulled her back to him and said,
"per mujhe pata hai" he said while naina twisted her hand to get out of his reach but he just smirked and said, "tumhain lagta hai k main tumhain pasand karta hun. Hai na?" she turned her face away but he leaned closer to her making her shiver from inside as his face was almost touching her cheeks.
"m'mujhe nahi pata"
"jhoot tumhain sb pata hai shayad mujhse bhi ziada per bas manti nahi ho" he tried to make her look at him.
"yuvi mujhe jane do." She turned her face to the other side.
"kb tk bhagogi? Jao! Abhi jane diya per we'll have a little chit chat later." He left her hand and she took steps back still looking at her shocked and confused while he was amused by her. he was absorbing her every movement and she felt herself shivering from inside. He was loving every bit of her. Every single expression, every word that she said, every move that she made touched his heart and he was sure as she quickened her pace in a ran that he loved her' yes!! Yuvraj singh loved naina and he'd make sure that she loves him as well. He knew she loved him just that she wouldn't admit'..

PART 8
Kaveri was fine after the operation but she was in deep sleep due to her strong medication. Naina was with umeed. She played with her, she changed her clothes, and made sure she remained clean and not hungry. She bottle fed her and talked to her whenever she was awake. She took her in her arms, kissed her, cuddeled her, rocked her lovingly until she fell asleep. Yuvi saw her quietly in the nights when she stayed awake all nights for the baby and slept with her in her arms.
It was the 2nd night after kaveri's operation. Kaveri was in fever and umeed was fast asleep in naina's laps while she held her so close as if she might lose her. yuvi came inside soudlessly and naina didn't even noticed that he came. Naina was gazing at umeed with a smile while she smiled in her sleep and suddenly a tear fell from naina's eye and then there was a pool of them. She tried to wipe them away but they kept coming. Yuvi was surprised because naina was only smiling and he wasn't sure if she was happy or sad or'scared.
He walked upto her soundlessly and whispered,
"naina!"
"hmm"
"kiya soch rahi ho?" he asked whispering.
"soch rahi hun k',"she hesitated a little, "k agar meri beti hoti to main to usay apni nazron se kabhi door jane hi na deti. Bandh k rakhti apne pas or'" she trailed off caressing umeed's cheek with her forefinger.
"or?" he asked wanting to know her feelings.
"or aisa kuch hone hi na deti jo'm'mere sath hogaya" a few drops of tears fell again but yuvi caught them in his hands. He was sitting on his knees in front of naina while she was sitting on the bed, her legs crossed beneath her.
"naina! Tumhare sath kuch nahi hoga ab." He assured her with such intensity that she was forced to look into his eyes and it didn't take her a second to trust him.
"main bas dua kar rahi thi k ye har buri nazar se bachi rahe, isay sari khushian milen or isko koi takleef pohnchane wala na ho"
"m sure tum jaisi maasi hogi to koi ankh utha kar bhi nahi dekh payega isay" he said trying to lighten her mood and naina giggeled through her tears and yuvi stood up and sat beside her wrapping his arm around her shoulder. She placed her head on his shoulder and cried her heart out. She needed someone to hold her caringly since a long time. She felt lonely but now her loneliness had calmed out. She felt peace in his arms while he felt the same holding her so close. He wiped her tears away with his thumb and, caressed her hair and her face lovingly. He liked to touch her. It made him feel possessiveness for her. Suddenly she realized what was happening. She slowly straightened away from him but didn't look at him and said in a whisper,
"umeed so gayi hai. Mujhe chalna chahiye. Tum bhi jao" she said getting up and laid down umeed in the cot carefully while yuvi looked at her confused.
"tum kahan jarahi ho?"
"abhi to' caf jaongi coffee peeni hai mujhe" she replied looking around confused about where to go.
"chalo sath main chalte hain" he stood up.
"yuvi m fine tum ghar jao"
"naina mujhe ghar nahi jana" he replied in a stubborn manner.
"meri wajah se tum'" she started to argue.
"mera jaise dil chahe ga main waisa hi karunga phir chahe wo kisi ki bhi wajah se ho" he cut her off angrily. She glared at him and turned away going out of the general ward in anger because of his stubbornness.
He brought coffee for her and himself in the locker room where she had come from the general ward. She was sitting at the bench doing absolutely nothing. He came and sat beside her and held out her cup,
"coffee!"
"kiyun kar rahe ho ye sb?" she asked syddenly looking at the ground and holding the bench at both her sides and leaning a little forward.
"coffee piyo phir sochte hain" he told her.
"yuvi m serious tum ye sb kiyun kar rahe ho? Kiya chahiye tumhain?" she asked him frustrated.
"naina filhal tum ye coffee pi lo or chalo tumhain ghar drop kar deta hun. You need some sleep" he knew she was tired and she needed rest that's why she was frustrated.
"I need answers dammit!," she stood up angrily and looked at him, "Kb se dekh rahi hun kuch na kuch ajeeb kiye jarahe ho or main samajh hi nahi pa rahi hun k ye ho kiya raha hai. Sympathy tum'", she took a step back as he stood up dangerously placing his hands on his waist, "nahi sympathy'nahi hai'per'per phir kiya hai?"
He came close to her and she retreated till her back collided with the wall behind her. He came close to her. Her heart beat raced and she felt herself getting hot. But he did something that she hadn't expected. He held her hand gently and gently caressed her palm and said softly,
"naina m doing it because I really like you. Mere bare main ghalat khayalat mat lao apne dimagh main. I swear mujhe tumse kuch nahi chahiye or na hi meri koi ghalat intentions hain. I hope iv cleared myself enough to have your trust," she nodded her head lightly and he gave her a smile that assured her, "to ab chalo ghar chalte hain. Already tum apni duty se ghanta ziada hi reh chuki ho yahan."
"per didi or umeed'" she started taking her hand away from him but he held her firmly.
"yahan or bhi doctors hain or tum jaogi to or doctors ki bhi duty hogi na. umeed ab kafi der tk soyi rahegi or kaveri didi bhi isliye ab tum bhi sojao. Chalen?" he asked her and she nodded after a moment's thought and he took her out still holding her hand.
She was so sleepy and tired, that she slept in his car on their way to her home. As he reached outside her house he looked at her. She was in a deep sleep and he didn't want to wake her up. He smiled at her and got out of the car to her side and opened the door. He scooped her up easily due to her light weight and gently took her inside her house after opening the door with her keys from her purse. He didn't know where her bedroom was so he laid her on the couch. She didn't even stirred from her sleep and he realized how much tired she was that's why she was being so jittery. The time when she had said again that he was being sympathetic towards her, he had felt like wringing her neck but he controlled himself. Whereas he also told her that he was getting close to her just because he liked her when thjat wasn't the truth and she knew it but she was so out of her mind that she got assured by his lie. The only thing that assured her was his gentleness towards her. She wouldn't have been able to take his anger and all the confusion inside her would have turned into hatred and he didn't want that. He gently tugged the strands of her hair away from her face and pulled a blanket over her that was placed already on the couch. Perhaps she had left it there earlier. He left her there after locking her door making sure that it was locked and she was safe and went back to his own house.
Naina woke up in the morning and as she stretched her arms out and moved her head to look around her head ached. She closed her eyes and held her head to clear her vision that had gone blurred due to her hunger since the last few days.
"good morning!" her head snapped in front of her and she saw yuvi. She thought perhaps she was dreaming about him and she had gone mad. She shook her head again and opened her eyes,
"main such main yaheen hun" he came close and sat down on the floor bending his knees placing his arms on his knees and said, "raat main shayad sapna dekha ho mere baray main per ubi such main hun" she couldn't believe his wicked smile and still couldn't believe that he was there.
Slowly she raised her hand and touched her fingers at his cheeks and as she felt his rough lightly bearded skin she shook her hand back and shot up straight in a sitting position while he looked at her with a mischievous lazy smile on his lips. He had wanted to hold her hand to his face. He felt his stomach roar by her touch but he controlled the urge to touch her again. Only his eyes followed her movements but he didn't move.
"tum'tum yahan kaise aye?? Or kiyun?" she straightened her clothes and held the blanket close to her looking extremely nervous.
"tumhain bohat der hogayi thi to socha tumhain sath leta chalun hospital," he stood up pretending to ignore her nervousness and went inside the kitchen, "or phir tum thaki hui bhi hogi to socha breakfast bhi bana lun kiyun k main ne bhi nahi kiya. Sath main kar lenge tb tk tum fresh ho lo or phir him'"
"yuvi!" she stopped him as he came out of the kitchen bringing a tray with him towards the table.
"hmm?" he turned around to have a look of her more clearly. He loved her husky voice due to sleep and her sleep swollen eyes.
"ye sb kiya hai?" she asked.
"isay breakfast bolte hain naina" he teased her holding the tray a little higher to show her.
"tum jante ho main kiya puch rahi hun" she understood his teasing.
"tum kiya puch rahi ho naina?" he asked teasing her and placing his arms folded at the back of the chair and naina felt butterflies in her stomach at the look that he gave her. She looked away giving up and throwing the blanket away from her she got up.
"main change kar k ati hun" she went inside after folding the blanket neatly and taking it with her. Yuvi smiled at her and went to make tea for her and himself. He heard the sound of shower turn off and she came out of her bedroom about 10 to 15 mins later. He saw her coming inside the kitchen while he took off the kettle from the stove. She avoided his gaze while he kept giving glances to her without letting her know but she knew he was watching her. He could see her fair and natural beauty, her wet hair were dripping with droplets of water as she drank water from the glass.
Suddenly her eyes met his when he was looking at her and they kept looking at eachother. He started towards her and she felt her heart dropping. He came close to her while she sat looking away. He leaned and took the glass from her hand and turned away, surprising her.
"pani pi liya ho to ab chalen breakfast karne?" he said smiling to himself behind her back and she got up and left outside quietly. He was acting as if it was his own house. He didn't asked her anything and found everything by himself.
She sat on the table and started serving him as well. He looked at her while she felt goosebumps behind her neck because he was sitting right next to her on the chair. She deliberately didn't look at him while he kept looking at her deliberately making her nervous. She hardly ate anything due to his continous looks and drank tea only. She waited for him to finish but he intentionally dauddeled over his food to irritate her. She looked at him with sideways glances continuously while he knew she was looking at him. His heart was laughing and he was controlling his laughter that was almost escaping. Finally as he finished naina was about to get up when she saw him picking up the cup and pouring another cup of tea and he relaxed back in the chair as if he was in no hurry. She looked at the clock and sat back down heaving a sigh of frustration. She was controlling herself while yuvi was waiting for her outburst. She tapped her foot trying to control her irritation and wondering why was he doing this? Suddenly as if this wasn't enough he started making sipping noises at the tea. She closed her eyes.
"Enough! Main jarahi hun tum aram se chae pi kar ajana" she stood up and said silently.
"per gadi ki chabi to mere pas hai" he said taking a sip as he propped his booted foot over his other leg.
"main tumhari nahi apni gadi per jaongi" she replied without looking back and picking up her purse from the table and started looking for the keys.
"main bhi apni nahi tumhari hi gadi ki baat kar raha hun"
"meri gadi ki chabi tumhare pas??" she turned around suspiciously.
"hmm" he said quietly sipping his tea calmly.
"yuvi you are too much. Idhar do mujhe chabi" she came and stood beside him holding out her hand in front of him.
"main chaye pi lun phir chalte hain" he said without looking at her.
"mujhe der horahi hai" she stamped her foot on the ground.
"so am I getting late" he replied his eyes glistening with tears of mirth. He was enjoying the way she was trying to control her temper.
"really?? Aisa dikhta to nahi hai" she said sarcastically but he payed no heed to her. Suddenly she took the cup from his hand unintentionally touching his hand and placing it on the table and she grabbed his hand pulling him to get up but his strongness was nothing compared to her strength. She kept trying to pull him but he didn't even move an inch and suddenly he pulled his hand and she came falling in his laps. She gasped as he held her from her waist.
"kahan jana tha tumhain?" he asked leaning closer to her ear making her tremble but he saw frown on her forehead and her face paled but he thought it was because of his closeness.
"yuvi stop it or niklo yahan se" she pushed his hand away and got up while he let her go.
"main ne to kuch kiya hi nahi tum khud hi agayi ho" he said getting up.
"shut up" she snapped and went out holding her upper arm where the table hit her when he had pulled her. He saw her rubbing her arm but she hadn't shown it to him.
He frowned and followed her outside. She sat inside the car while he sat in the driver's seat. She removed her hand from her upper arm.
"kahan lagi?" he asked.
"kiya?" she asked as if nothing happened and he was crazy.
"main ne pucha kahan lagi?"
"kuch bhi nahi hua mujhe" she shrugged her shoulder. As she turned her head away and he saw that she wasn't going to let him know. He caught her arm and pulled her firmly to him and saw her upper arm bruised. It had hit her badly that it was already black and blue but she didn't show any sign of pain.
"I'm sorry" he said touching the bruise lightly with his finger tips.
"It's ok" she replied taking her arm back and looked straight.
She was changing into a serious naina that he didn't want to happen and the more he tried to avoid the change it wasn't working. She wasn't the curious and nosy naina anymore that he liked. Not that he didn't like her now but he wanted that spark back in her. He was irritating her because he had seen that in her that she could be the same again. Perhaps he could heal her wounds.
There drive was quiet as yuvi was lost in his thoughts and naina was lost in hers. As they reached sanjivani naina was opening her seat belt when she said a 'thank you' in a murmur and went out leaving yuvi staring after her.
"jp! tum ne naina ko kahen dekha?" yuvi asked in the caf standing beside jp's chair.
"naina path lab main gayi thi jb main yahan aya to" sid replied instead of jp who was busy in eating.
"lunch time main?" yuvi asked.
"han pata nahi keh rahi thi k usay kuch kam hai" sid shrugged his hsoudlers.
"ok thnx" yuvi replied frowning and went outside towards path lab.
Naina was putting a cotton cloth on a metal plate placed upon a burner and placing it on her arm to sooth tha ache and pain in her arm due to the hot cloth. She jumped when she felt a hand taking the cloth away from her hand. She winced in pain as the hot cloth was pressed a little tightly on her arm,
"yuvi!" she cried out in a whisper turning her face away.
"I'm sorry" he quickly took the cloth away from her arm while she held her arm from her elbow and he soothed her arm. She saw the pain on his face and care with which he held her arm and placed the cloth on her arm. She saw a gentle yuvi rather than the aggressive, obsessive and dark yuvi that she had seen before. Why was he changing?? For her?? No! She made her decision and took her arm away.
"main kar lungi khud" she said looking away.
"kiya chahti ho tum?" he asked grabbing her shoulder and turning her towards him angrily.
"main kuch nahi chahti or dobara mujhe hath mat lagana"she shook her arm away but he pulled her more closer.
"yeah! Main ye sb sirf tumhare liye kar raha hun or tum'"
"kiyun kar rahe ho??? Yahi to puchti hun main tumse baar baar per tum jawab hi nahi dete"
"main ye sb isliye kar raha hun kiyun k main tumse'" he trailed off desperately wanting to say something but seeing her anger he stopped. He knew she wouldn't understand.
"mujhse kiya yuvi?" she asked as he left her hand.
"huh! Kuch nahi! Kuch bhi nahi!" she taunted him, "Tum ye sb sirf isliye karte ho kiyun k tumse bardasht nahi hota k jo naina har waqt tumhare agay peeche ghoomti thi wo ab nahi ghoomti"
"that's right mujhe yahi problem hai" he replied ironically.
"to phir to tum bhool jao us naina ko kiyun k wo naina mar gayi"
"really? Agar mar gayi to is naina ko meri fikr kiyun hai?" he tried again stepping a step closer to her hoping she might say something.
"mujhe tumhari koi parva nahi or tum jitna ho sake utna door raho mujhse"
"fine ab kabhi nahi aonga tumhare pas" he backed with deep hurt in his eyes that naina could easily see and her heart dropped for a moment.
"thank God and thank you" she said joining her hands in front of him and he went out with strong angry strides banging the door and making naina jump in fright.

"naina yuvi nahi aya??" sid asked her when naina was on the norse station to receive a file.
"mujhe kiya pata k wo kahan hai!" she replied rudely.
"array ghussa kiyun horahi ho? Tum dono sath hote ho isliye mujhe laga k tumhain pata hoga" sid turned to look at the soft board.
"naina mujhe tumse baat karni hai" naina an dsid both turned to see a panicked mac hurrying towards naina. He was tensed.
"kiya hua mac?" naina asked suddenly scared.
"yahan nahi. Akele main" said mac looking at sid who quickly looked away.
"chalo" she said and lead to an empty ward.
"kiya hua tum itne pareshan kiyun lag rahe ho?"
"tum janti ho yuvi kahan hai?"
"aj sb ko ho kiya gaya hai kiyun sb'" she started when mac interrupted her sharply.
"naina kiya tum janti ho k yuvi kahan hai?"
"nahi. Kiyun kahan hai wo?" she asked waiting impatiently herself for the answer.
"wo racing main gaya hai hemant k sath"
"hemant?" she asked by the way but she already had panicked at the sound of 'race'. She didn't care who this hemant was.
"mera or yuvi ka rival in fact and enemy. Humara usse pichle 4 sal se conflict hai and wo to koi rasta hi dhund raha tha badla lene ka or ab yuvi khud hi chala gaya uske pas"
"per kiyun??" naina asked confused fearing the answer she expected.
"yuvi pehle jb bhi racing k liye jata tha wo sirf tb jb wo frustrated hota tha apne akele pan se ab kiya reason hai wo mujhe samajh nahi araha kiyun k ab to tum ho uski life main." Mac told her while naina was lost in her thought and trying to figure out how to reach him and mentally cursing him.
"tumhara koi jhagda hua usse?" he asked her bringing her out of her thoughts.
"nahi. Tumhain kaise pata k wo jaraha hai racing k liye?" she asked ignoring his question.
"kiyun k main ne use phone kiya tha or usne mujhe bataya k wo kahan hai"
"mujhe wahan le chalo mac. Pls abhi!" she asked him pleadingly.
"han main tumhain hi lene aya tha kiyun k wo mere kehne se nahi ruka tha to shayad tumhare kehne se ruk jaye"mac said and without waiting for a minute naina went to dr.kirti and asked for her permission and left with mac immediately.

TO BE CONTINUED

PART 9

Naina prayed all her way with her eyes shut close on the bike behind mac while he kept passing glances to her to check on her. She opened her eyes only when the bike stopped. She jumped down carefully looking around the dark damp place. She was trying to absorb the darkness and place when she heard the bike start. Without turning she asked anxiously,
"mac! Ye kaunsi jagah'.mac!!! mac ruko!" she started after him and stopped as he rode far away and vanished within seconds leaving her alone. She got confused, nervous, scared and anxious. She looked around the place but could see only darkness, some trees nearby and coul feel grass beneath her feet and the due drops on her feet making them wet. She shivered due to cold and fear mixed. She held both her hands tightly and turned around to find some way to go ahead.
"y'yuvi??" she called him a little loudly hoping against hope that he would appear in the unnatural quietness and dessertness. She shivered at the thought what if some guy praced upon her from the dark. Her heart dropped and she turned again to go back but stopped when she realized she didn't know her way out. She stopped stepping when her legs and feet got so cold that they felt as if they weren't a part of her body. Suddenly the thoughts of yuvi in a race came back to her and she threw away her fear and looked about frantically, knowing that this wasn't the place for race. Then where was yuvi??? Is he ok?? Why did mac left her alone?? What was going on?? Questions started rising in her mind but no answers. What if mac betrayed both yuvi and her?? What if he hurt yuvi? What if yuvi was in danger?
"yuvi!! Are you there??...here??...anywhere?" she started calling more to herself as if expecting some miracle to occur and bring yuvi in front of her. Tears were starting to well inside her chest. She tried to shoo away her fear by talking,"yahan to koi bhi nahi hai'"
"han! Koi nahi hai sivae tumhare or mere" she heard a voice that relieved her' excited her. She flipped around and saw yuvi standing at a distance near a tree. She felt urgency and ran towards him and broke only in his arms as he hugged her fiercly and she hugged him. Tears that had been inside her of fear started running out of her eyes. Her silence, fierceness said everything to him that he wanted to know just that he wanted to hear it from her.
"kahan chale gaye thay tum?? Main kitna dar gayi thi!", she eased back and looked at him from head to toe for any injury, "Tum theek to ho?? Or wo mac bhi chod gaya mujhe yahan akela! Usne kaha tha tum kisi race main gaye ho! Tum ne promise kiya tha yuvi k tum phir aisa nahi karoge. Soch soch kar dimagh kharab hogaya mera k tum kahan ho kaise ho? Kuch pata nahi chalta tumhara or bata k jana'" she stopped as she saw a smile forming on his lips. She had been too occupied in her own quieries that she hadn't seen the amusement in his eyes but as his serious mout transformed in a knowing smile, she stopped and everything came in her mind forming a plan. She stepped back slowly while he tucked his hands in his pockets. She looked at him feeling as if she had been made fun of. She looked in his eyes disbelievingly where she only saw joy which seemed to be mocking her. She shook her head lightly and turned around to walk away angrily when suddenly she felt a strong arm encircling her waist and turned her around pulling her back to him.
"yuvi don't you dare" she hit his hand and he left her suddenly. She turned around gasping and thinking she hurt him.
"I'm so sorry yuvi! Tumhain lagi to nahi" she held his arm to examine but in the dark couldn't see clearly.
"tumne to kaha tha tumhain meri koi fikr nahi" he said softly tugging her hair behind her ear as they fell on her face. She raised her eyes sharply at him and saw him looking at her seriously. She glanced at his arm deciding that he wasn't hurt, she shook his arm away and turned to go again when he caught her waist and pulled her back to him without turning her, her back colliding with his chest.
"yuvi!" she gasped as he held both her wrists.
"main ne to pehle hi kaha tha k tumhain jhoot bolna ata hi nahi. Janti ho kiyun??" he said softly with a deep joy in his voice either because of her concern for him or her closeness, that she could feel.
"mujhe kuch nahi janna" she said through her clenched teeth without struggling.
"kiyun k tum jitna bhi jhoot bolo tumhain hamesha guilt hota hai k tum jhoot bol rahi ho or such chupa nahi pati" he ignored her.
"apni bakwas apne paas rakho or mujhe jane do" she jerked his arm once.
"agar jana hi tha to yahan kiyun ayi?"
"kiyun k mujhe laga k tum'" she stopped as she realized he was trying to make her say that she didn't want to say.
"k main?" he asked in a mock.
"chodo! Tumhain to sirf mazak karne ka shauk tha na apne 'best friend' k sath mil kar. Tell me yuvi bet lagayi thi kiya k main aongi ya nahi ya phir koi deal hui thi dono doston k beech k mujhe akele tumhare pas lana hai?" she asked angrily glancing at him from her profile.
"calm down naina" he said gently loosening his grip on her wrist but still firmly so as not to let her go.
"really?? I should calm down? Tum dono mera mazak banao or I should calm down. Great!" she looked ahead completely aware of his closeness and she was no more cold in fact she was as hot as if a fire was burning inside her by his body so close to her. It was clearly obvious to her that he liked her nearness to him.
"to tum na ati yahan. Tumhain kisi ne force kiya tha?" he wasn't taking her seriously. He still had that mockery in his voice.
"jhoot to tum bhi bolte ho yuvi fark ye hai k thoda acha bolte ho or mujhe laga k mar jaoge tum"
"to marne deti na tum ne khud hi to kaha tha k u hate me" he said sarcastically.
"bas yahi ghalti hogayi k agayi tumhari help karne"
"help karne ya jaan bachane?"
"it's the same thing'", he leaned closer to her face; she moved her face away, "Door raho mujhse or chodo mujhe, " as he loosened his grip she held his hands to push them away from her when she realized they were freezing cold, she stopped in her track and hold his hands in hers, "'yuvi?? Tumhare hath kiyun thande horahe hain?? Tumhari jacket kahan hai??" she asked worriedly for a minute forgetting her fight with him when suddenly he pulled her back to him rather harshly hugging her tightly till she couldn't breath and nuzzeled to her hair that fell on her shoulder but his lips touched her skin and she shivered. She closed her eyes and his eyes were also closed.
"y are you so confused naina?? Sb jawab tumhare paas bhi hain or mere pas bhi phir kiyun tum kuch nahi dekh rahi?" he whispered to her touched by her concern. It had been years since anybody had been concerned about him like this. He had known girls before but they were only concerned about what he gave them but naina didn't care for what he wanted to give her, she only cared for him.
"mujhe kuch nahi dekhna or kuch nahi sunna. Ghar chalo bas" she said without struggling but confused for liking being near him.
"or mujhe ghar nahi jana! Bht akela hota hun wahan" he left her and turned away from her placing his hands on his waist.
"yuvi! Yahan bht thand hai ghar chalo" she said feeling concerned about him and his loneliness. She looked around at the fog and shivered again hugging herself and rubbing her arms up and down.
"main nahi jaonga" he said without turning towards her.
"ye kaisi zid hai??'ghar nahi jaonga' kiyun nahi jaoge??" she asked getting confused by his mood swings.
"kiyun k main nahi jaonga to tum nahi jaogi or tum nahi jaogi to tumhain mere sath hi rehna padega or jb tum mere sath rahogi to na hi main akela rahunga or tumhare sath waqt bitaane ko bhi mil jayega jo k normally tum mujhse ladte hue hi guzar deti ho"
"or ye tumse kisne keh diya k tum yahan rahoge to main nahi jaongi?? Main khud se bhi ja sakti hun" she said arrogantly knowing well herself that she wouldn't go until he wouldn't go.
"ahan! Main ne ye kb kaha k tum khud jaogi ya mere sath? Main ne to ye kaha k tum mujhe akela chod kar nahi jaogi." He replied with same arrogance.
"per main'" she started but he interrupted her turning away from her,
"per war kuch nahi ab to done hai k hum aj raat yaheen rahenge. Chalo walk karte hain" he said and started in a slow pace for her to catch up with him but she kept standing where she was,
"per'mujhe thand lag rahi hai" she said in a murmer gazing at the ground. He turned at the disappointment in her voice and saw her innocent face where 'give up' was written. He knew she had given up that he would listen to her and have it his way but she was wrong. Her happiness mattered to him a lot and he was going to prove it to her this way or that. He would find other ways to spend time with her and make her confess her love for him till then he would wait.
He stepped closer to her. She knew he was getting closer to her and her heart suddenly raced but she neither looked up nor stepped back. He stepped right in front of her and really close and waited for her to look up but she kept her gaze and herself steady. He smiled knowing she was nervous and leaned closer to her face and planted a soft kiss on her cheek,
"pata nahi kaise mujhe wo naina irritate karti thi jo meri life main interfere karti thi. I just love everything about this naina," naina looked up at his face shocked to the core at his words, "chalo ghar chalet hain" he said smilingly and started walking slowly back. Naina was motionless gor a while. He had just admitted that he-- loved her. No! He hadn't said that 'he loved her', he had just said that he loved 'everything' about her. Does it mean the same?? No how can it be?? It would be the last thing yuvi could do in the world! Love naina?? No he just couldn't. But then he just said'
"tumhain ghar nahi jana to mujhe koi problem nahi hai yahan rehne se" his deep voice shook her out of her thoughts and she ran after him clumsily to follow him.
She didn't talk to him on their way to naina's place. She was lost in her own thoughts neither did she hear him talk to her but she had heard his faint voice kissing her ears but she wasn't listening to him. Her own mind was in turmoil.
"naina ghar agaya!"
"hmmm?" she replied still in her thoughts while the car stopped but his words didn't formed in her mind.
"nahi jana??" he asked teasingly, looking at her lost face.
"j-jana hai!" she opened the door rather hurriedly and climbed off the car. After closing the door she started towards the path to her home with her arms crossed across her chest and her head bent low when his voice made her turn back,
"bye bhi nahi bologi??"
"huh? Han' bye" she replied again clumsily and turned back.
"naina?"
"han?" she turned again.
"is everything alright?" he asked concerned but knowing what was bothering her.
"han theek hun. Bye. Good night"
"good night. See u 2morrow" he said with a smile and waited for her to go inside and then drove away shaking his head with a smile on his way.
He was humming all his way and even when he reached home. He didn't feel lonely at all in fact he was happy. Finally he had declared his love to her and perhaps that was why she was upset after all it was all spontaneous. She might need some time to absorb his feelings for her. He couldn't forget her expressions when she had looked up at him. God! He loved her so much and he wanted her' needed her in his life. She had fulfilled his life. She had to accept his love for her or else' he would be live in hell forever. He couldn't sleep the entire night thinking about her reactions and her future responses. He wanted to see her really soon.
Why?? Why did he say that to me? He hated me. He always did but today' he said that he' no!! He never said he loved me. If he loved me he wouldn't have said that he used to get irritated by the interfering naina' OFCOURSE! If he truly loves me he would never get irritated by me or by my interference. Naina kept thinking all night and by mid night a plan was forming in her mind. She was again going to be that same nosy naina and see if he is still interested in her. If yes?? Then perhaps' he does' love her and if not then'
She didn't knew when it was dawn and she hadn't even slept all night but still she was excited and anxious to know what he felt for her.
He saw the sun rising outside in the gaden while he jogged to shoo away his all night's restlessness and sleeplessness. He knew this new day was certainly going to bring happiness for him or perhaps the beautiful and fresh morning made his hopes higher. Whatever the reason he wanted to see 'his naina' as soon as possible.

part 10

"hi yuvi" naina greeted him cheerfully as she saw him entering in the locker room with a bright smile.
"hi naina" he replied with a wide grin while his heart fluttered with joy like a child by seing her smile.
"ummm' kaise ho?" she asked trying to start a conversation.
"main to theek hun per tum kuch theek nahi lag rahi" he said tugging his hands in his pockets and tilting his head to a side.
"kiyun mujhe kiya hua m perfectly fine" she shrugged her shoulders looking away.
"to phir ye dark circles kaise hain tumhari khubsurat ankhon k neeche jaise poori raat nahi soi. Mere bare main soch rahi thi??" he said softly and she looked back in his eyes.
"meri ankhon ko kuch nahi hai tumhari ankhon ko kuch hai" she replied bluntly.
"acha baba maan liya" he said and walked towards the locker.
She had intented to somehow irritate him but somehow she couldn't. as he reached to his locker and opened it to take out his lab coat she started with her own locker and thought of somehow to interfere in his work. She glanced at him sideways and saw him holding a file while he flipped pages and had a frown on his face.
"errrr tum kiya dekh rahe ho?" she asked stepping closer to his locker while wearing a locker and deciding to be nosy.
"case ki file" he replied without looking up.
"kaunsa case?" she asked again loking intently at his face to look for some sign of irritation.
"dr.kirti k sath hai" he looked up closing the file and smiled at her innocent and bright face.
"main kuch help karun?" she asked.
"han. Such main help karogi?" he stepped closer to her and flattened down her collar of lab coat with both his hands while she looked frowning at his hands at the way he treated her like a child.
"han han bolo" she asked.
"duty k baad mere sath lunch per chalogi?" he asked leaning closer.
"subha subha shuru hogaye na tum. Bhaad main jao. Poochna hi nahi chahiye tha mujhe" she turned away shutting her locker and stormed out of the locker.
"array naina suno to' chali gayi!" he smiled to himself shaking his head.
Naina kept thinking of how to interfere and irritate him. While on duty she kept asking him what he was prescribing, where was his duty now, where was he going, what did dr. kirti said, did he have an extra pen, but all the time he replied with the same sweetness and gentleness which made her feel uncomfortable and guilty as well that she was doubting him. She didn't even want to be nosy and ask so many questions to him but she felt like she had to, to know what he felt.
By lunch time she went in the caf thinking how to annoy him when she spotted him sitting inside with his cell phone in his hands and he punched number and put the cell to his ear. She got an idea and started towards him.
"kise phone kar rahe ho?" she asked bluntly sitting down.
"kisi ko nahi" he replied as he pushed the phone away on the table and frowning.
"kisi ko to kar rahe ho. Batao na yuvi kise kar rahe ho?" she asked again seeing his troubled face.
"plumber ko per wo phone hi nahi utha raha. Bathroom k taps kharab hain ghar k" he replied looking at her face intently and smiled while his frustration flew away by her face.
"ohhh to itna ghusssa kiyun kar rahe ho? Yahan se ghar jate huay bula lena" she told him a solution unconscsiously when she had wanted to irritate him.
"han yahi karunga" he replied looking at her face while she looked away thinking of what would he say when he would come to know that she was doing it only to annoy him.
"kiya hua? Kiya soch rahi ho?" he asked wanting to know what she was feeling.
"hmmm kuch nahi" she replied shaking her head but not meeting his gaze.
"coffee piyogi?" he asked knowing that she lied to him.
"nahi.. chalti hun main bas kaam hai" she stood up and walked away.

"yuvi' yuvi suno!" yuvi stopped and turned as he saw naina running towards him. He felt peak of joy in his heart and felt like spreading out his arms and embracing her tightly and never let her go but he would have to wait for her to accept his love.
"kiya hua?" he asked as she reached him and gasped.
"wo'ummm' tum kahan jarahe the?" she asked again with the intention to annoy him just to see if he got irritated by her.
"kiyun sath chalna hai?" he rasied his hand softly and tucked her think lock of hair behind her hair gently while she held back a little.
"nahi waise hi" she said hesitatingly.
"bills pay karne jaraha tha. Adhay ghante main ajaonga" he told her to satisfy her curiosity with the truth smilingly and went out.
"ye to chidh hi nahi raha mujhse" she thought to herself guiltily as he went out and her gaze followed him till he vanished.
"how could I ever hate a girl like her? Yahi baatian jinse mujhe nafrat hoti thi unhi sb per ab mujhe pyaar araha hai. Shayad wo wapas pehle jaisi horahi hai." Yuvi thought smiling to himself while he drove towards the bank to pay his bills.

"kiya hua naina tum kab se chal rahi ho. Itni walk karogi to patli ho k gum ho jaogi" sid said when he kept seeing naina pacing about in the locker room from the past 15 minutes.
"sid ek baat batao mujhe tumhain yuvi main kuch badlao dikha?" she asked suddenly stopping.
"baqi sb to waisa hi khadoos hai per tumhare sath kuch or hi tarha ka behavior hai uska"
"hai na main bhi wohi keh rahi hun. Pehle kitni irritation hoti thi na usay mujhse or ab ek dum se hi'" she waved her hands in the air and sat down beside him on the bench.
"main bhi yahi soch raha tha per tumne koi baat nahi ki isliye main ne kuch kaha nahi" said sid shrugging his shoulders.
"or ab jb main ne phir se wohi sb harkatain karni shuru ki to bhi nahi chidh raha mujhse. pata nahi kiya hoagaya hai usay? Or sbse badi baat ye k mujhe usay tang kar k bura bhi lag raha hai even though wo tang nahi horaha per m feeling guilty" she said resting her chin on her palm while her wlbows rested on her knees.
"kahin usay tum' matlab shayad tumse'like pasand ho?" sid started a little hesitating as to what her reaction would be.
"aise kaise? Matlab wo to hai hi or tarha ka or main' u know' hum different hain" she said confused.
"per pyaar to aisa hi hota hai na shartain thodi dekhta hai"
"array per pyaar ho hi nahi sakta na wo to'y'yuvi??" suddenly her eyes caught sight of yuvi standing right in front of them but the glass door hadn't reflected his appearance but as she raised her head she saw him and her heart sinked.
"wo'main or sid' mera wo matlab'" she stood up trying to give some explanation as he walked close to her with a murderous look in his eyes and he had a frown on his forehead. She knew immediately that the animal inside him was awakened again. His anger filled dangerous gaze held her frozen to the spot while she knew that if she tried to get away the consequences would be even worse. Her heart beat suddenly raced when he stepped close to her and caught her wrist harshly without saying anything and he started pulling her and she followed him without protest but intense fear raged inside her.
"yuvi chill dude leave her" sid stood up and walked in front of yuvi to defend naina but yuvi raised one hand in front of his face that stopped sid in his track and he knew that he shouldn't interfere or it would worsen the situation whereas naina's helpless face also told him to back off as she shook her head to tell him to get away.
"ye mere or naina k beech ki baat hai so stay-out-of-it!" yuvi voice transformed into husky deep voice.
"yuvi main' plss" naina started, her voice extremely shaky and not at all supporting her or helping her in her fear.
"sshh" yuvi gave her a murderous glance na dshe stopped at once and he dragged her out of the locker room through the corridor.
"yuvi?? Naina?? Kahan ja rahe ho tum dono? Naina suno'" tamanna tried to stop them but neither yuvi stopped or looked at tamanna nor naina raised her eyes and only stopped when yuvi pulled her inside the store room. She stumbled and supported herself by the large table that was placed in the centre but a few boxes fell down by her falling on it.
She turned around slowly and saw yuvi bolting the door and her fear reached to such hights that she felt her heart would jump out of her throat.
"y'yuvi main'main sirf j'janna chahti thi k'" she stepped sideways holding the table tightly not trusting her own strength to move.
"k main pagal hun ya nahi?" he asked in dangerously low voice stepping slowly towards her.
"n'nahi wo nahi'" she stuttered and felt her chest heavy with fear. She couldn't think rationally that what he could do or was going to do.
"really?? Per mujhe yahi lag raha hai k main pagal hun" he replied sarcastically and as naina took another step sideways, his hand reached out and grabbed her upper arm pushing her back totally with the table while she leaned back by his force.
"you made a fool out of me naina Mehta" his anger flared as his face came close to her and his voice came in an angered whisper which made her weak.
"i' didn't mean to yuvi' I swear" she pleaded feeling guilty.
"don't you dare to swear!" he twisted both her wrists behind her back on the table which made her feel helpless as well. Suddenly flashback crossed her mind when raam had twisted her hand behind her.
"yuvi you'r hurting me" she exclaimed fearfully as his hands gripped tightly.
"n what did you do?? Mujhe laga k tum normal horahi ho per mujhe kiya pata tha k tum sb sirf natak kar rahi thi mujhe tang karne k liye" he asked pulling her closer to him till she couldn't breath to make her look at him but she couldn't in the extreme fear that she felt because of his anger and knowing what he could do in the locked room.
"mujhe laga k tum' mere qareeb' kiyun?" she tried to say in broken words but couldn't complete her words.
"shut up! Ek or lafz kaha to acha nahi hoga. Kiyun itna shak kar rahi ho mujh per naina? Why?" he asked in anger as well as plead.
"I'm sorry' yuvi" she had already realized her mistake.
"sorry for what?? Ye natak karne k liye??" he shook her and she looked in his eyes.
"nahi' tumhain hurt karne k liye"
"kiyun bharosa nahi kar pa rahi ho tum mujh per?" he asked desperately.
"yuvi' pata nahi kiyun mera dil hi nahi maan raha k tum mujhe pasand karte ho" she replied as she thought him getting a little calm.
"isme itna kiya mushkil hai manne ko naina??" he frowned pulling her even more closer and she pushed back her head because she could feel his breath on her face that made her feel even more nervous than she already was while.
"mujhe nahi pata" she said in desperation. Yuvi kept looking at her pained expressions but said nothing,
"agar tumhain or kuch nahi kehna to'm'main jaon?" she said pleadingly.
"naina main tumse bohat pyaar karta hun" he said suddenly and naina looked at him shocked, forgetting her pain and their closeness.
"aise mat dekho mujhe. Main ne pehle bhi kaha hai ye tumse per shayad tumhain meri baat per yakeen hi nahi araha. I love you a lot naina" he pulled her in a hug and kept like that for a few moments. Suddenly he heard her slow sobs that turned into hysterics and he could feel her hot tears. Her fear came out through her tears. Yuvi panicked,
"kiya hua?? Ro kiyun rahi ho?" he asked still hugging her but rubbed her back with his hand soothingly.
"main'dar' gayi thi" she said through her tears and her voice choked.
"kiyun?" he asked fearing the answer he knew.
"tum ne darwaza'or mera'hath'" she choked through her words.
"tumhain laga main tumhare sath waisa kuch karunga jaisa raam ne karne ki koshish ki?" he said and felt her nodding her head frantically on his shoulder while she sniffed and wiped her tears with the back of her hand and he soothed her.
"main sapne main bhi aisa nahi soch sakta naina or tum'" he started
"phir itni zor ka hath kiyun pakda? Wahan sb k samne aise kheench kar le aye muje? Or abhi bhi darwaza lock kar diya?? Or store room main lane ka kiya matlab tha?" she held back from him but he kept holding her from her waist firmly and she had her hands on his shoulders while she sobbed and choked and threw questions at him.
"waheen rukta to tum baat karti bhala mujhse?" he asked almost smiling at her innocence.
"main to baat kar leti per tum sb k samne maar na sakte mujhe!" she told him in anger.
"main ne mara kiya tumhain?"
"mujhe laga' k marogay" she said hesitatingly that he might get angry again.
"main kabhi soch bhi nahi sakta tum per hath uthane ka" he told her lovingly cupping her face and wiping her tears away.
"or ye jo itni zor ka hath pakda wo bhi to dard hua na" she frowned and complained like a child.
"wo main ghussay main tha" he said apologizingly.
"usi ghussay main tum maar bhi to sakte thay mujhe" she said stubbornly.
"main ne kaha na kabhi nahi marunga tumhain"
"promise?"
"hmmm promise. Ab rona band karo" he said frowning at the flood of tears that had run out of her eyes.
"ab chalo yahan se" she pushed away his hands and turned towards the door.
"naina!"
"han" she turned back to him as he called her.
"I'm sorry" he said feeling really guilty.
"you should be"
"I really am. Pata nahi ghusse main kaise ye sb kar gaya per m sorry"
"it's ok. Chalo!" she smiled and went towards the door as he followed her. She was about to unbolt the door when his hand came down on hers stoping her. She looked up at him confused,
"kiya hua?"
"tumhain nahi lagta tum kuch bhool rahi ho?" he asked looking at her swollen eyes intently.
"kiya?" she asked confused.
"wohi jo mujhe yaad hai"
"tumhain kiya yaad hai?"
"jo tumhain yaad nahi"
"or mujhe kiya yaad nahi?"
"jo main sunna chahta hun"
"tum kiya sunna chahte ho yuvi?" she asked getting irritated as she couldn't understand what he was saying.
"wohi jo tum bhi kehna chahti ho"
"is waqt main sirf ek baat kehna chahti hun"
"wohi main bhi sunna chahta hun"
"main'" she started as he leaned his face closer to hers.
"tum'"
"yuvi main'"
"tum kiya naina?"
"mera dil ghabra raha hai yahan! Tumhain rehna hai yahan to beshak raho per mujhe jane do"she said turning her face away.
"tb tk nahi jb tk tum mujhse wo nahi keh deti jo mujhe sunna hai" he stopped her/
"tumhain jo sunna hai wo main tumhain bahar nikal k sunati hun. Koi rule to nahi hai na k store room main hi sunana hai?" she pretended as if she knew what he wanted her to say but in truth she was totally confused.
"fine chalo" he stepped back to let her open the door.
"abhi bolo" he asked as they started walking in the corridor.
"kiya??" she asked again forgetting what they were talking about.
"naina!" he said warningly.
"yuvi pani to peene do. Mujhe bohat pyaas lagi hai" she again made an excuse.
"nahi. Do second ki baat hai sirf" he said impatiently/
"how cruel you are yuvi?? Ek masoom si khwahish nahi puri kar sakte meri?" she said over dramatically turning her face away sadly.
"fine chalo" he knew she was dramatizing and they both went inside the caf while she kept thinking all her way what was it that she hadn't said.
"pi liya paani?? Ab bolo" he said as she drank the last sip of water that she was drinking very slowly intentionally.
"tum to jallad ki tarha peeche hi pad gaye ho! Jaan lo ge kiya?" she tried to divert him.
"bolo gi nahi to le bhi lunga"
"per bolna kiya hai?" she asked finally giving up on her thinking.
"kiya?" he exclaimed confused thinking for how long he had been trying to make her say and she didn't even know what she had to say.
"wo' main keh rahi thi' tumhain yaad hai na dr.kirti ne mujhe bulaya tha?" she lied.
"kb?" he asked.
"haww tum bhool gaye. Acha tum do minute wait karo main abhi ayi han. Bas dr.kirti'" she started to walk away but he caught her wrist.
"naina!"
"yuvi" she said his name exasperatedly.
"do you love me?" he asked pulling her closer to him.
"kiya?" she exclaimed at the sudden question.
"main ne French boli k Spanish?" he asked thinking she was trying to avoid him on purpose.
"pata nahi" she said with a pleading look.
"naina!"
"yuvi theek se bolo na tum kiya peeche pade ho kab se k kuch sunna hai kuch sunna hai! Kiya sunna hai baba? Kuch samajh nahi araha mujhe" she finally asked him.
"matlab tum kab se natak kar rahi thi k pani pi kar kehti hun bahar ja kar kehti hun?" he asked getting that she was actually unaware of what he was asking.
"han! Mujhe samajh hi nahi araha kuch" she said and then saw his expressions changing,
"tum ne kaha tha tum ghussa nahi karoge! Yuvi its not my fault na agar tum aise ulti seedhi baatain karte ho to" she tried to defend herself.
"main ulti seedhi baatain karta hun?"
"to or main to nahi karti na! tum hi kab se lage ho ye batao wo batao upar se ghussa kab ajaye pata hi nahi chalta kab kiya kar jao kuch samajh nahi lagta' NOOO YUVI' nahi" she cried and tried to jump back as he started tickling her mercilessly.
"main bolta hun"
"nahi'sorryyy'sorry nahi" he kept tickling her and she turned around to get away but he wasn't going to have mercy on her.
"ab bolo tum"
"yuvi"she cried and ran away from him giggling while he ran after her. She controlled her squeals as she feared he'll catch her. She dodged the ward boys, nurses, patients and doctors and ran inside the locker room. As she stopped to shut the door, she saw yuvi approaching her and she left the door squealing and ran towards the benches and jumped one of them to run inside the changing room but yuvi was already standing in front of the changing room with his hands on his waist and had a 'now-I'll-tell-you' look with a smirk. She stopped and her heart sank for a while knowing that she wouldn't be able to escape now and everytime they got close she felt that sinking feeling inside her which made her want to get away from him. She slowly stepped back as he started taking slow steps towards her. She backed with the locker and slid sideways while he kept taking steps towards her. Suddenly her hand slipped inside an open locker. Her attention got diverted towards it and she looked at it to close the locker. As she was about to close it, he caught her hand gently but she jerked her hand away in surprise and the locker door got shut with her finger inside. She gasped in pain while yuvi took her hand out with a storm bolt fastness and before she knew it her finger was in his mouth. She opened her eyes in utter shock by the feeling she felt but he wasn't looking at her. He took her finger out and saw that it was cut. He pressed it to his lips again and when she quivered he looked at her but didn't let go of her hand and saw her eyes. He felt his own self weak as he realized what he was doing. She thought he was going to let go of her hand but instead she felt a tingling sensation suddenly as she felt his tongue on her finger inside his mouth and shiver ran down her spine to her legs and down to her feet making her toes curl and she snatched her hand away turning away from him and held her hand to sooth it.
She walked towards the bench and sat down on it with her back towards yuvi while he followed her and sat in opposite direction beside her. After a moment's silence he spoke,
"tum is weekend per mere sath bahar chalo gi?"
"kahan?" she asked quietly.
"kahin bhi! Lonavla?" he asked looking at her.
"yeah right!!! Freeze ho k snow man banenge kitna maza ayega na yuvi!! Upar se akele jayenge to'wait hum akele thodi jayenge sb jayenge na humare sath!" she started making fun of his idea.
"nahi wo'" he started but she interrupted him,
"han sb jayenge tb to theek hai per lonavle hi kiyun wahan to bohat thand hogi'"
"naina'"he tried to stop her.
"kahin or chalte hain. Picnic waghaira pe subha main hi'"
"hum akele jayenge jahan bhi jayenge" he raised his volume and said slowly and calmly. She looked for a moment at his face and frowned,
"mujhe nahi jana tumhare sath"
"mere sath nahi jana ya mere sath akele nahi jana ya akele jate huay dar lagta hai" he asked tilting his head to her side.
"shakal dekhi hai apni? Main darti warti nahi hun ok bas tumhare sath bore nahi hona chahti" she said teasing him.
"main boring hun?" he asked seriously.
"or nahi to kiya. Chaar baatain to theek se karni nahi ati tumhain" she started teasing him.
"sath chalogi to I promise bore nahi hone dunga" he told her thinking she was serious.
"na baba main ye risk nahi le sakti" she said shaking her head and holding the bench with both her hands leaning forward.
"plss"
"tut"she clicked from her mouth.
He raised his hand gently to her face and slipped it behind her neck caressing her and in her hair. She felt herself getting hot as her heart raced and she felt shivers inside her. As she closed her eyes he suddenly grabbed her hair firmly without hurting her and tilted her head back with a throaty laugh and asked challengingly,
"chalogi?"
"aise le kar jaoge?" she held his hand behind her head turning towards him.
"zarurat padi to han"he told her without even a hint of smile.
"phir to jan de dungi per sath nahi jaongi" he slowly caught her hand that was placed in her laps tilting his head slightly to the other side and suddenly twisted it behind her back,
"jan dene ki baat ki to jaan le lunga"
"dhamki de rahe ho?"
"jo bhi samjho" he said intently.
"tumhain hamesha zabardasti karne ki adat hai kiya?"
"main zabardasti karna nahi chahta per tum ho hi itni difficult"
"main difficult hun?? To tum kiya ho? Aisa sb bolo ge phir to mera bhoot bhi sath nahi jayega tumhare" he pulled her suddenly to him and she collided with his chest,
"yuvi kiya kar rahe ho? Chodo mujhe" she got nervous by the sudden closeness.
"pehle han kaho"
"koi ajayga" she trembled as she felt his hand slipping inside her hand nad locking his fingers with hers.
"main kisi k baap se nahi darta" he said leaning his head closer to her face.
"main to darti hun na" she tried to move back looking sideways to the door but he didn't even let her move an inch.
"per abhi to kaha tha tumne k tum kisi se nahi darti" he teased her.
"yuvi chodo na plss" she said worriedly.
"saaf saaf kiyun nahi kehti k tum kisi or se nahi mujhse darti ho" he said trying to gain her attention back towards him as she was continuously looking at the door.
"yuvi bakwas band karo or chodo mujhe" she moved to make him let her go.
"han bol do chod dunga"
"achi zabardasti hai ye! Mujhe nahi jana kahin"
"to phir yahin bethi raho'mere 'pas' mere 'sath'" he closed his lips down on her cheek.
"yuvi jane do mujhe" she twisted her arm as his lips moved closer to her lips but she turned her face away.
"pehle han" he caressed her skin with his lips moving slowly down to her neck.
"na" she murmered.
"han" he whispered.
"nahi" she spoke with difficulty/
"ahmm ahmm" they both heard sid's voice and naina jerked back from him and all of a sudden his grip got loose as well but he kept holding her hand.
"s'sid 'j'jp'wo main' y'yuvi'hum'wo" naina stuttered as she stood up almost falling on yuvi but he held her by her waist to balance her and she shook his hand away from her.
"ye sb kiya hai?" sid asked with a knowing grin on his face.
"yuvi hath chodo" she whispered to him angrily as he still hadn't let go of her hand.
"pehle han bolo" he whispered back standing up.
"sid kuch bhi to nahi 'wo mujhe'mere hath pe chot lagi thi' to yuvi bas wohi dekh raha tha" naina replied smiling weakly and trying to take her hand back.
"per naina flower ji apka hath to apke peeche tha" said jp not understanding what they were doing.
"jp! Chod na tu. Kiya farak padta hai hath age ho ya peeche tu is waqt dekh k naina ka hath kahan hai?" sid teased them both with a grin and controlling his laughter when he saw naina's face loosing it's colour and her expression.
"kahan hai?" jp asked looking at her.
"kahan hai?" naina asked quickly hiding her hand behind her back and yuvi's.
"yahan hai" yuvi pulled her hand out while he held it.
"yuvi!!!!! Chodo na" she whispered angrily again while sid opened his locker shaking his head and got busy and jp got busy in his own stuff.
"to main han hi assume karun?" yuvi smirked.
"damn you" she cursed him through clenched teeth.
"han?" he asked again teasingly.
"yuvi uska hath theek lag raha hai mujhe" sid again saw them and said with a broad grin.
"han' han yuvi hath theek hai mera bilkul" she tried to pull back.
"nahi mujhe lagta hai abhi theek nahi hai" yuvi said.
"yuvi plss bas karo" naina frowned.
"tum bas karo"
"yuvi hogaya yar!" sid said without looking at them but listening at naina's protests.
"aaahh" yuvi cried out as naina stamped her foot on his foot and he suddenly let her hand go and sid laughed out loudly when he couldn't control anymore.
"mujhse zabardasti karne ki koshish bhi mat karna tum" she pointed her finger at him and stormed out of the locker room leaving a frowning and angry yuvi while sid and jp laughed with their heart out at him but stopped and walked out as yuvi glared at them.
"sath to tum mere chalogi or wo bhi akele. Aise nahi to waise hi sahi" he thought to himself with a smile forming on his lips as he remembered the way she had shivered in his arms. He had so much wanted to kiss her but he also knew she wasn't ready yet to match his passion and intensity. He was surprised at their bonding. She was more of protective and caring for which she had passion while he was more of an aggressive and obsessive person yet he fell in love for her. No doubt their were more beautiful girls than her but he fell for her because she truly cared for him and not some 'quality time' spent with eachotehr that most of the other 'beautiful' girls wanted from guys.
Right now all he wanted was to make her feel special for one entire day and let her give that one day solely to him so that he could show her how much he loved her. Not that he needed to show it to her but still he wanted to do something unforgettable for her and he would do that.

PART 11
"di ap wapas jarahi ho??" naina sat with kaveri didi holding umeed in her arms while she played with naina's hair.
"han tere bhaiyya arahe hain to unhon ne kaha k ghar le kar jayenge. Bas tujhse milne ayi hun" kaveri replied.
"I'll miss you di or is choti si shehzadi ko bhi" naina held umeed in front of her and shook her playfully and umeed giggled in delight. Naina hugged her close to her and kissed her cheek.
"and we'll both miss you too'ummm naina?" kaveri called her after a momnet's thought.
"han?"
"wo yuvi kaisa hai? Tera friend?"
"theek hai di" naina replied casually holding umeed's hands as she grabbed her finger in her little hands.
"tu'use pasand karti hai na or wo tujhe??" kaveri asked and naina looked at her di but her eyes went straight to yuvi standing just behind kaveri. She smirked to herself and replied unconcerned knowing that he was listening.
"main to kisi ko pasand nahi karti di per agar koi or karta ho to main kuch keh nahi sakti"
"chal jhooti! Saaf likha hai shakal pe teri' idhar dekh meri taraf! Acha ladka hai wo. Papa or maa ko pasand ayega bohat"
"di ap bhi na!" naina got surprised by this sudden exclamaition that too in front of yuvi. She couldn't even raise her gaze to look at yuvi's grinning face.
"main bhi kiya! Sun tu kahe to main baat karun usse?"
"didi koi zarurat nahi hai" naina refused suddenly.
"acha acha bhadakti kiyun hai. Waise bata to tujhe kaisa lagta hai wo?"
"bohat ghussa karta hai! Bohat akdu hai or bohat sadu bhi hai per", naina stopped as she looked at yuvi's face and her eyes locked with his, "bohat acha bhi hai"
"chal phir theek hai main to khushkhabri le kar jarahi hun ma papa k liye"
"nahi di papa se kuch mat kehna abhi" naina whispered to her so that yuvi couldn't hear.
"acha acha theek hai. Chal main chalti hun ab. Bhaiyya tere neeche wait kar rahe honge. Market gaye the kuch kaam se. chal mil le tu bhi" kaveri stood up and turned to see at her back. Yuvi turned around abruptly to avoid her gaze.
"han chalen"
"errr naina tu chal main ati hun do minute." Kaveri said.
"kiyun kiya hua?" naina asked looking back at yuvi.
"kuch medicines ka puchna tha doctor se" kaveri lied.
"to main kiya hun?? Mujhse puch lo"
"nahi tu chal na main ati hun"
"acha" naina looked suspiciously at yuvi and then went outside with umeed in her arms.

"hi yuvi!" kaveri walked up behind yuvi.
"namaste didi" yuvi turned around and greeted with a warm smile.
"didi?" kaveri asked with an amused smile.
"han wo naina apko didi hi bulati hai to'"
"nahi nahi its ok. Ab naina ki didi hun to tumhari bhi to hun"
"ji"
"so you like naina?" kaveri asked abruptly.
"ji?" yuvi got surprised by the sudden question which was more of an answer.
"han I know. Main us raat jag rahi thi jb tum dono yahan the"
"ohh" yuvi didn't know what to say.
"yuvi main nahi janti k meri behen k sath kiya hua tha yahan per itna zarur janti hun k tum ne sb sambhal liya tabhi to mujhe meri wohi behen wapas mili hai jaisi wo thi" kaveri said seriously.
"didi wo'"
"nahi main aisa kuch nahi janna chahti jo naina khud mujhe nahi batati. Bas tumse itna hi kehne ayi hun k uska khayal rakhna. Usko akele rehne ki adat nahi hai"
"janta hun tabhi aye din night duties and double shifts leti rehti hai"
"ab tum ho sath uskay to mujhe fikr thodi kam hogi uski."
"ap fikr mat kijiye main pura khayal rakhunga uska" he assured her.
"I know. Acha main chalti hun. Or agli baar naina k sath gujrat tum bhi ana"
"ji zarur agar usne ane diya to aonga" yuvi replied sarcastically.
"take care. Bye" kaveri grinned and went off.
"bye didi"
naina came back after a while and found yuvi in locker room.
"kiya kaha didi ne tumse?" she placed her hands on her waist standing close to him.
"tumse kisne kaha k didi mere pas ayi thi?" yuvi asked without turning to her and kept busy looking for something in his locker.
"jhoot mat bolo main janti hun di tumahre pas hi ayi thi" naina straightened her arms.
"jb pata hai to puch kiyun rahi ho?" yuvi still didn't looked at her.
"main ye puch rahi hun k kiya kaha unhon ne?"
"kuch khaas nahi bas kaha k tumhain line pe rakhun" he replied casually.
"didi ne aisa kaha?" naina asked shocked.
"hmmm"
"didi ko to main dekh lungi" naina turned to go out.
"or mujhe? Mujhe nahi dekho gi?" yuvi finally looked at her with a smirk.
"mujhe koi shauk nahi tumhain dekhne ka tum jao didi se hi rishte bana k meri burayi karo" she replied angrily.
"or jo tum keh rahi thi uska kiya?"
"wo to main bas'" naina hesitated to reply because kaveri had approved their relation and this would give yuvi a little space to close the diference further more between them.
"mujhe jealous karne k liye keh rahi thi?" yuvi leaned his shoulder with the locker after closing it and crossed his arms across his chest.
"main kiyun jealous karun tumhain?? Jealous karne k liye koi reason hona bhi to zaruri hai"
"tum mujhse pyaar karti ho kiya ye reason kafi nahi hai?"
"ziada khush fehmiyon main mat raho dr.yuvi. main ne tumse ab tk nahi kaha k main tumse pyaar karti hun"
"lo abhi keh to diya"
"kab?"
"abhi abhi?"
"abhi kabhi?"
"abhi to kaha k tum mujhse pyaar karti ho?"
"mujhe tumhari bakwas sunni hi nahi hai" she said and started to walk away but suddenly yuvi caught her waist and pulled her back to himself. She gasped by their closeness and held her breath.
"ab kaho jo bhi kehna hai" yuvi always enjoyed her nervousness and shyness when she got close to him.
"m'mujhe kuch bhi nahi kehna" she held his wrists and pushed them lightly.
"nahi tum kuch keh rahi thi meri bakwas k baray main" he teased her.
"yuvi main ne tumhain pehle bhi kaha tha k' door raho mujhse"
"kiya karun? Cant help it tumse door reh hi nahi pata"
"yuvi tum'" naina started but stopped when she heard her cell phone ringing inside her locker.
"chodo!"
"mmhmm" he shook his head.
"yuvi mera fone baj raha hai chodo mujhe" she twisted in his arms and he finally let her go. She went quickly to her locker and took out her cell phone.
"hello?"
"ji. May I know who is speaking?"
"y'yes" naina hesitated and glanced towards yuvi who smiled at her but he knew she was feeling uncomfortable suddenly.
"I'll be there"
"kiska phone tha?" yuvi asked as naina put her cell phone back in her locker slowly.
"wo' credit card k liye application di thi unhon ne bulaya hai. Unhi ka phone tha" she replied hesitatingly.
"ahan" he nodded and looked after her as she went out lost in her thoughts.
"dammit naina" he clenched his fist and punched his locker knowing that she had lied to him. He was hurt knowing that she still didn't trust him enough to tell him everything but he also knew that it was his entire fault. He had been harsh with her almost everytime she had tried to tell him something. But the fact was that everytime she tried to hide something she got herself in some trouble. He went to her locker and opened it and took out her cell phone. He looked at the last number which was a local number and sought that number out from the directory. It was a number of the mental asylum.
'Raam' the first name that came to his mind was of his. So she had gone to see him!! But why?? After all that happened' suddenly naina's words struck him hard that she didn't thought it was his fault at what he had done. She thought he was ill that's why he did it.
Yuvi held his bridge of nose with his thumb and fore finger and closed his eyes in frustration. He couldn't find a way to stop her? If he told her he knew that she was going for him she would be angry that he had pried upon her. Then how was he supposed to stop her??
"naina tum kahin jarahi ho?" yuvi asked her when he saw her in the caf paying off her bills hurriedly and looking at her watch while tapping her foot continuously.
"nahi to! Main ne kahan jana hai?" she replied without paying much attention.
"to phir itni jaldi main kiyun ho?"
"array baba ghar nahi jana kiya?" she tried to make an excuse with a forcefull smile.
"chalo main drop kar deta hun tumhain" he said to keep her with him.
"nahi nahi main khud chali jaongi" she avoided him.
"main bhi to jaraha hun"
"han to tum jao na main chali jaongi" she said and turned around quickly adjusting her purse on her shoulder and walked out.
"naina suno!"
"bye yuvi" naina waved to him and wnet out hurriedly before he could even follow her.
"suno to'" yuvi tried to stop her but she had already left and he didn't know how to stop her.

"hi m dr. naina Mehta. Can u pls tell me where dr. bhatiya wud be?" naina asked the well dressed lady on the reception in the asylum.
"yes ofcourse ma'am he's waiting for you in his cabin. Straight in this corridor to the left." She pointed towards the corridor with a warm smile.
"this way? Thank you" naina gave a weak smile in her tension and nervousness and walked towards the corridor.

"good evening dr.bhatiya" naina went inside after knocking the door lightly.
"good evening!" a middle aged, well dressed and a mature looking man looked up from his files and eyed her through his glasses.
"umm dr. naina" naina provided him with her introduction.
"oh so you are dr. naina!" dr.bhatiya said with a hint of disappointment.
"yes sir. Any problems? I mean is everything alright?" naina asked worriedly stepping forward.
"yes yes of course. Please sit down." Said dr.bhatiya an dwaved his hand towards the chair opposite to his desk where she sat quietly while he closed his files and stacked them aside and gave her his full attention.
"wud you like some tea coffee or something?"
"no thank you. You called me to talk about your patient' raam?" naina asked a little concerned.
"yes yes. Ah actually he is'" dr. bhatiya started with a hint of confusion.
"sorry to interrupt you sir but how did you find him?" her own mind was filled with questions and she wanted to throw them out on his.
"yes m starting from the beginning. Some people found him on the road beating a man madly while he himself was wounded. Somehow the doctors managed to separate him from the other man and took him to the hospital and kept him under observation. That was when the doctors found out that he actually was mentally ill and that showed by his behavior with the other patients and doctors."
"how is he now?"
"I'm afraid there's no progress. But we suggest that if someone who is close to him spends some time with him or care for him than perhaps he might recover from this psychotic behavior of his." He said carefully.
"but how come you found out about me?"
"he kept asking for you. Throwing tantrums, breaking out things, calling your name, searching for you like a maniac was the only thing he did. So we tried to find out about you and we searched out that you were a dr in sanjivani"
"where is he now?"
"he is in his ward. A separate ward because he is danger to the others" he told her and naina looked into empty space obviously thinking about the consequences of meeting him.
"would you' like to meet him?" he asked her eyeing her carefully
"yes'yes ofcourse. I would" she replied with confusion mixed with determination and almost fear.
"by the way what is your relation with him?" dr. bhatiya asked as he stood up and naina stood up with him.
"I'm ' his friend" she replied hesitatingly.
"well in that case doesn't he have any relative or something?" he asked coming out of his chair and walked towards the door.
"I'm afraid not dr. he's all alone" she told him as he walked out and she followed him outside.
"loneliness is a cause of serious problems nowadays" dr.bhatiya said seriously and then they walked quietly towards the corridor to a small room.
Naina peered inside while her heart beat raced as dr.bhatiya opened the door.
"come in" dr. bhatiya said and she took a small step forward almost fearfully and her eyes caught sight of a thin, shrunken figure on the floor in a corner. His legs brought up close to his chest and his head rested on his knees while his arms wrapped around his legs.
Dr.bhatiya pointed towards him to naina and she saw him, her heart filled with sudden pity and sadness for him. She looked at him and she stepped a little closer but stopped when dr. bhatiya carefully held her by her elbow and stopped her from going too close. She looked back at him and nodded.
"r'raam?" she almost whispered to him with care in her voice. He stirred and raised his head slowly. She caught sight of his dead pale face with a light pointed sharp rough beard; his eyes looking like two hollows that were swollen and had dark circles, his cheeks were also like hollows. His eyes searched for the voice confused while his head shook but his eyes showed hope and she felt her heart melting for him in pity.
Finally his eyes caught sight of her standing like a statue.
"naina?? Tum' mujhe pata that um aogi mere liye'mere pas" raam said and his voice was dreadfully hoarse. She shivered by his voice. He tried to stand up shakingly and dr.bhatiya went forward to help him. He took support of dr.bhatiya and stood up gazing at naina.
"dr.bhatiya I told you she's my wife and she will come for me" his words hit her sharp and she looked at dr.bhatiya disbelievingly and then towards raam.
"I know raam isiliye dr.naina khud ayen yahan" naina couldn't understand what was happening with her and what was going to happen to her. She just knew that she was stuck in a deception'

PART 12

"naina? Tum kuch kehti kiyun nahi? Kuch bolo to! Tum ne itni der kiyun laga di anay main" raam took two slow and shaky steps towards her.
"naina raam kuch pooch raha hai. Jawab do usay" dr.bhatiya said forcing her to speak.
"dr'dr bhatiya ap ye kiya'?" naina started confused.
"naina! Come with me" dr.bhatiya said and opened the door.
"dr? ap kahan le kar jarahe hain meri bivi ko?" raam asked suddenly getting impatient and worried.
"ek minute raam mujhe usse tumhare kuch papers sign karwane hain. Bas thodi si der main arahe hain hum"
"ye..ye sb kiya hai? Main uski bivi nahi hun" naina said stepping out of the room as dr.bhatiya closed the door behind them.
"main janta hun per or koi raasta nahi tha. Raam pagal horaha hai or usko sirf ap hi bacha sakti hain is sb se. I promise you if he proves to be dangerous with you I will not call you here again but till then atleast you can try!" dr.bhatiya tried to convince her.
"but dr he is'"
"I know. Ye sb uska make belief sense hai k ap uski bivi hain n all per phir bhi hosakta hai wo theek hojaye"
"to kiya socha ap ne?" dr.bhatiya asked trying to figure out her decisions from her expressionless and thought full face.
"main'"
"kuch der uskay sath waqt bitaye phir soch lijiye ga" dr.bhatiya made his own decision and opened the door.
"per main' mujhe kisi ko',: naina thought of telling yuvi about all this but then stopped that she hadn't told him of anything and now he would be angry with her that she came here, "nahi its ok' main chalti hun andar"
"thank you" dr.bhatiya said gratefully.
Dr.bhatiya went inside while naina followed him hesitatingly twitching her fingers and looking at the ground nervously.
"naina ao na betho yahan" ram was sitting on his bed and he patted at his side on the bed. Naina went forward and sat down nervously beside him but kept her distance.
"itni door kiyun beth rahi ho?"
"raam tum kaise ho?" naina asked in an attempt to divert his mind.
"main theek hun tum batao? Kitne saalon baad mil rahe hain na hum?" naina looked up at him shocked.
"h'han" she said agreeing with him but her voice choked telling easily that she disagreed.
"shadi k baad ab mil rahe hain hum. Tumhain hamari shadi to yaad hai na naina ya wo bhi bhool gayi jaise mujhe bhool gayi?"
"n'nahi" she replied helplessly not knowing where he had gone and lost in his own world.
"dr.bhatiya apko yad hai humari shadi?" raam looked up at dr.bhatiya who stood in front of them.
"han raam mujhe yad hai sb. Naina bohat sundar lag rahi thi" dr.bhatiya replied with absolute sertainty.
"meri naina hai hi sundar" raam raised his hand and encircled his arm on her shoulder.
"kiya hua?" he asked as naina twitched suddenly and shrugged his hand off lightly.
"mujhe'mujhe lagta hai'" naina started to say that she thought she should go now when he interrupted suddenly.
"don't tell me k tumhain kuch yad nahi"
"nahi nahi mujhe yad hai sb" she said as she saw that raam was getting serious.
"to phir tum itne dino k liye kahan chali gayi thi?"
"main'main wo'" her mind went blank where there were always some lies to tell but now totally blank out of fear. Even the presence of dr.bhatiya didn't comfort her.
"batao naina tum kahan thi?"
"main' main maa papa k pas thi" she quickly thought of an excuse.
"kiyun? Tumhara pati to main hun na. mujhe yahan is hospital main chod kar tum apne maa papa k pas thi? Tumhain meri fikr bhi nahi hui?" he asked frowning.
"nahi aisi baat nahi hai'"
"to phir kaisi baat hai? Kiya tum mujhse kuch chupa rahi ho?" he asked again and naina looked at dr.bhatiya for some help but he only looked from raam to naina.
"dr saab ki taraf kiya dekh rahi ho? Mujhe dekho! Chupa rahi ho na" raam asked dangerously.
"raam tumhain' tumhain ghalat fehmi horahi hai. Dekho na main a to gayi hun tumhare paas" naina gained up her courage and said to him trying to calm him.
"ab ayi ho! Pehle kahan thi jab main tumhain bulata tha?"
"wo main' "
"BOLO NAINA!" he shouted suddenly and threw the crockery and bottles of medicine from the table making them crash on the ground and naina shook from head to toe by the look that transformed raam into a beast.
"raam! Raam calm down" dr.bhatiya came towards raam and held him by his shoulders while naina stood up slowly feariung that her legs wouldn't support her and she shook from inside.
"ap beech main mat boliye dr. ye mera or meri bivi ka maamla hai" raam warned dr.bhatiya.
"raam listen to me!" dr.bhatiya started again.
"I DON'T WANT TO LISTEN TO YOU! MUJHE naina se sunna hai k wo kahan thi jb mujhe uski zarurat thi" raam pushed away dr.bhatiya and he fell down and strode towards naina who gasped at the fall of dr.bhatiya and clasped her hand over her mouth.
"raam 'meri baat suno!" naina tried to stop him and retreated her steps as raam closed the difference and she collided with the wall.
"yes'yes m listening naina" raam said with wild intensity and nodded his head like a maniac and stepped even more closer to naina.
"m'm'main wo maa papa'" she stuttered as she couldn't speak.
"JHOOT! JHOOT BOL RAHI HO TUM! Such batao mujhe naina tum kis k sath thi? Tumhain yahi laga na k mera accident hogaya or main mar gaya?"
"ram aisa kuch nahi hai"
"TO PHIR KAISA HAI?" he kept shouting at her making her tremble and she couldn't speak out of fear.
"raam!" dr.bhatiya came forward as he stood up from the fall.
"bolo naina" raam slammed his fist on the wall just beside her and then suddenly held her upper arms tightly.
"raam usay chodo! Raam chodo usay" dr.bhatiya came forwad and held raam's wrists.
"bolo naina! Jaldi bolo" he asked her frantically while his hands tightened around her arms hurtfully and shook her violently.
"nurse!! I need your help" dr.bhatiya went to the door and called to the nurse who came back running.
"raam pls" tears of pain welled up in her eyes. She wanted to scream out of pain but her fear wouldn't let her.
"kis k saath thi tum?? Bolo"
"let her go raam" dr.bhatiya told him and a few ward boys entered as well and they held raam while the nurse prepared for his injections.
"she's my wife dammit I won't let her go and she can't go until she tell me the truth" the ward boys pushed him back from naina and took him to the bed while dr.bhatiya helped the nurse.
"CHODO MUJHE! LET ME GO! MUJHE MERI BIVI SE BAAT KARNI HAI! Dr.bhatiya ap to samajhiye, mera usse baat karna kitna zaruri hai" raam said franticlly and trying to get up wildly.
"dr.naina ap jayen yahan se!" dr.bhatiya said to a frozen naina.
"dr ap kiyun mujhe meri bivi se door bhej rahe hain. She needs me and I need her. I want my answers. I love her." Raam said pleadingly.
"dr. naina plss go" dr.bhatiya told her again but still she couldn't move. She hadn't sen his best friend like this. She wanted to help him but she feared him. She wanted him back as he was before but she feared him. She wanted to be there for him but she feared him. Fear was taking over all her emotions.
"naina!" a familiarly worried voice broke into her and she stirred back to life but didn't had the courage to move and look towards the face to which the voice belonged but she only felt the tug and then the arms that pulled her into a fierce hug.
"naina! Naina kuch bolo! Meri taraf dekho naina" she heard faint voice in her head but her eyes were fixed on raam who was now covered with wires, pins and nurses giving him injections while he was still shaking violently and the wardboys were trying to hold him still.
"chalo yahan se" a harsh voice broke into her and then the hand pulled her outside with a possessive arm around her shoulder. She only felt herself sitting down on a bench and the man hugging her from behind
Possessively and rocked her back and forth while rubbing her arms soothingly up and down.
"naina kuch bolo! Pls kuch to bolo"
"raam!" she said in a whisper as life came back inside her slowly and she felt protected. Yuvi placed his head on her shoulder and held her even more tightly and rubbed her arms more.
"yuvi! Wo raam' main yahan ayi thi'dr.bhatiya ne bulaya' wo keh raha tha' main bivi hun' dr.bhatiya ko pata tha' per raam to pagal hai' wo theek hai?" she tried to speak absently but yuvi understood every single word that she said and got what happened before he came.
"sshh naina! Sb theek hai kuch nahi hoga tumhain" he murmered to her and soothed her.
"wo mujh per chilla raha tha' dr.bhatiya ne bhi kuch nahi kaha' main ne to kuch nahi kiya tha"
"naina! Ssh meri baat suno! You are safe now. Main hun na kuch nahi hoga tumhain. Koi tumhain kuch nahi kahega koi kuch nahi karega. I'm sorry" he turned her to face him and cupped her face.
"tum kiyun sorry'?" she asked her voice shaking.
"kiyun k main ne ek baar phir tumhain akela chod diya"
"nahi yuvi' wo raam keh raha tha'" she started again turning to look at his door.
"naina sshh honey! Kuch nahi hua! Sb theek hai. Chup bas!" he turned her face towards him and hugged her again.
After a while the door of the ward opened and dr.bhatiya came out. Yuvi's eyes shot up to meet his confused gaze and he got up walking towards the dr as if he was going to kill him.
"kiya hai ye sb??"
"m sorry sir' I can explain" dr.bhatiya hesitated by the intensity in which yuvi asked and towered upon the dr.
"I don't need your bloody explanation. I'll sue you" yuvi pointed towards him.
"sir I thought she was someone of mature years but when I saw her she was too young'"
"and still you took her to that animal?? You'll see me in the court now"
"yuvi! Unki ghalti nahi hai" naina started in a weak and shaky voice. She tried to get up but she was still weak.
"naina tum chup raho. Aj tumhain kuch ho jata to? Main do minute or late hojata to?" yuvi turned to face her angrily.
"per kuch hua to nahi. It's ok dr." naina waved to dr.bhatiya to send him inside.
"I'm sorry naina. I knew he would react seriously but this much? I didn't know it."
"to kis naam k dr hain ap?" yuvi said shooting back his glare at him.
"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry." Dr.bhatiya apologized again looking guilty.
"yuvi he's apologizing." Naina said to yuvi almost pleadingly, "It's ok dr."
"I don't wanna see or hear that man's name again. Got it?" yuvi pointed his index finger at dr.bhatiya reffering to raam, "Chalo naina" he ordered still glaring at dr.bhatiya and then went towards naina and held her by her shoulders gently and took her outside.
They were quiet all their way. As they stepped inside naina's house, yuvi sent her to her bedroom and went straight to the kitchen.
"lo ye piyo" he came back after a while holding a cup of hot green tea.
"yuvi tumhain dr se aise baat nahi karni chahiye thi" naina said after taking few sips of tea but her voice was still weak.
"or jo unhon ne kiya wo?" yuvi shot back while he stood beside the window with his one hand held out on the window frame and the other on his waist..
"unho ne mana na k unse ghalti hogayi"
"unkay ye maan lene se unse ghalti hogayi kiya tum'" yuvi trailed off and sighed.
"main kiya yuvi?" naina asked confused.
"agar tumhain kuch hojata to?"
"mujhe kiya hona tha?" she managed to smile at his concern.
"tumhara chehra main ne dekha tha naina! Zinda laash lag rahi thi tum jb main wahan aya to" yuvi turned to look at her face and walked towards her and sat down on his knees in front of her.
"yuvi'" she started to say something.
"or tum mujhe bataye baghair gayi" he said and held her other hand to his cheek and caressed it.
"ek minute' tumhain kaise pata chala k main wahan gayi?" she asked. Yuvi looked away slowly letting go of her hand.
"yuvi bolo tumhain kaise pata?" she asked again.
"main ne tumhare phone per number dekha tha wahan ka or main samajh gaya k tum raam k pas hi gayi ho" he looked up to meet her gaze but she got lost again.
"hmm"
"kiya hua?"
"kuch nahi"
"naina it's ok." Yuvi sat down beside her and held her by her shoulders. She broke into a hug with him and sobbed.
"yuvi raam! Wo mera dost hai"
"naina jo raam tumhara dost tha wo mar gaya hai. Ye raam wo nahi hai" he caressed her hair gently and talked to her soothingly.
"per usay main yad hun"
"bhool jayega tumhain bhi wo naina. Tumne uski halat dekhi na."
"per wo theek hosakta hai. Dr. ne kaha" she tried to convince him and herself.
"naina wo dr bhi jhoota hai or unki tasalli bhi" he said and held her back looking straight in her eyes and wiped her tears with his fingers,
"raam pagal ho chukka hai. Or agar abhi nahi hua to ab hojayega un sari medicines or injections ki wajah se"
"to phir to hamain unhain rokna chahiye na"
"nahi naina wo drs apne hisab se sb theek kar rahe hain. Per jo unhon ne tumhare sath kiya wo theek nahi tha" he said controlling his anger so as not to upset her again. He waited for her to say something but when she didn't he took the empty cup from her hands and placed it on the table and stood up.
"chalo tum so jao ub"
"nahi mujhe neend nahi arahi" she said looking away and he gazed at her swollen red eyes and knew that as soon as she would lie down she would sleep.
"naina main yaheen hun. Tumhare pas. Tum sojao" he said lovingly holding her by her shoulders.
"per tum yahan'kaise?" she meant that how was he going to sleep here in her house.
"don't you dare to start and waise bhi you don't desrve to be left alone" he said determinedly lying her down on the bed and tucked her inside her blanket.
"kiya matlab?" she asked confused out of sleep as she couldn't understand what did he meant.
"matlab ye k u don't even trust me k tum mujhe ek baar bhi bata sako k tum kiya karne jarahi ho" he said without even a hint of anger.
"m sorry" she held her hand on his arm gently.
"it's ok per agli baar aisa hua to sorry kehne ka chance bhi nahi milega" he said with an amused glint in his eyes.
"kiyun?? Kiya karoge?" she asked again confused by the look.
"abhi bataon ya'" he asked giving her a dangerously wicked smile and gazed down at her lips.
"nahi!" she said weakly as she felt a delicious chill in her body by his gaze.
"so jao!" he placed his hand on her cheek and smiled at her caringly.,
"waise bhi its high time that you learn to trust me cuz m not gonna leave you that easily or jiske sath sari zindagi bitani ho us per bharosa karna bohat zaruri hai" he told her with almost a hint of arrogance combined with lot of love, honesty and truth.
"or han subha 9 baje tk ready rehna. Na ek minute upar na ek minute neeche" he told her as he reached the door.
"per yuvi jana kahan' suno to!" she started to ask and get up propping on her elbows but before she could even complete, he was out after giving her a wink and before closing her door he called ou,
"9 sharp" and with that he closed the doos while she smiled to herself and laid back down snuggling deeper into the blanket that he had tucked so carefully around her. After rescuing her twice already, she knew she could trust him even blindly and he wasn't going to leave her alone ever. Suddenly excitement and thrill filled inside her mind and heart, making her forget about all the previous events that passed a few hours ago. Tomorrow was definitely going to be a special day in her life '

LAST PART

"good morning!" yuvi sat down beside her bed bending his knees, on the ground and held his hand on her pillow.
"mmm" she groaned without even opening her eyes and just hearing his faint voice.
"naina!" he called her softly.
"naina good morning" he called her again softly when she didn't responded.
"mmhmm" she groaned again frowning and stirred straightening with her hand falling on her pillow and her lustrous hair spilled on the pillow in a wave.
"its 9 darling!" he informed her with a smile as she aroused passion inside him.
"hmm" she moaned as if she knew.
"don't say that I didn't warn you before" he warned her standing up.
"aj din kiya hai?" she asked in a delicious husky voice.
"Saturday and we'r getting late" he told her controlling the strong urge to gather her in his arms and make love to her right here at this very moment.
"acha!" she said sleepily and unconcerned, pulled the blanket above her head, turned to her side and snuggeled deeper in her bed.
"nahi uthna?" he asked her for the last time.
"na" she replied sleepily.
"fine then" he said to himself and bent down taking away the blanket from her possession and scooped her in his arms carefully.
"yuvi!" she groaned irritated and frowned.
"I told you!" he turned around and started walking towards the door.
"Whatever. Mujhe kabhi sukoon se na rehne dena tum! Aj to chuti hai or abhi to sirf 9 baje hain" she murmered, her eyes still closed but she rested her head with his strong chest.
"Main subha 6 baje uth jata hun" he told her.
"Tum to ho hi pagal" she replied at his habbit of getting up early in the morning.
"To ub tumhain bhi pagal kar dunga" he said stepping down from the stairs and heading towards the main door.
"Hum ja kahan rahe hain?" she avoided the knot that she felt in her stomach by his statement.
"Secret destination jis k liye tum silent surrender kar do to ziada better rahega" he said casually opening the main door.
"Mujhe pata hai main or kuch kar bhi nahi sakti" she said in hopes that he would let her down and and go to sleep.
"Nice try naina per ye emotional blackmailing nahi chalegi" he told her and opened the door of his car and setteled her on the front seat.
"Yuvi ye… kiya…hum kahan?" her eyes shot open but before she could even say anything he was inside the driving seat.
"Tumhain laga main jhoot bol raha hun?" he said turning the keys and starting the car knowing that she would create havoc now. Naina looked around frantically and realized she actually was too late to stop him.
"Mujhe laga tum mazak kar rahe ho. Ye kiya kar kiya rahe ho tum?" she asked him trying to regain her senses and avoid the dizziness that she now felt in her head and a slight headache.
"gadi chala raha hun dikhta nahi hai" he smirked at her.
"yuvi shut up. Gadi roko. Let me out"
"too late" he told her casually.
"acha tumhain jahan jana hai hum challenge per atleast ghar to chalo let me freshen up"
"too late again. Main ne kaha tha k 9sharp"
"per ab main kiya kaarun? Mere pas kapday bhi nahi hain" she looked down at herself and her clothes that she had worn last night after taking bath. It was her night suit.
"not to worry tumhara sara samaan peeche pada hai" he said and naina turned to look behind and saw her small backpack.
"God ur crazy!" she said shaking her head and held her hair.
"I know. M crazy for you" he said looking straight at her but she didn't smile at his flirting instead she picked up her feet on the seat and snuggeled down and went back to sleep while yuvi smiled at her. She definitely was in ease with him or else she wouldn't be behaving so normally after this. As if he was scared of her?? No he wasn't but he feared her mistrust again.
"get up you sleepy head" he called out to her loudly.
"kiya problem hai tumhain?" she frowned irritatedly.
"tumne kabhi suna nahi kiya k driver k sath nahi sote" he said teasing her.
"shut up! Main driver k sath so bhi nahi rahi" she was unable to hide the laughter from her voice by his mistake.
"I mean k driver jb gadi chala raha ho to sote nahi hain" he corrected himself.
"kiyun?" she replied with her eyes closed and her face turned towards the window.
"kiyun k jb itni khoobsurat passenger ho to uski driving per asar pad sakta hai" yuvi raised his hand and touched her cheek with the back of his fingers.
"itni baatain banana kahan se seekh li tumne?" she turned her face to him and peeked from her eyes.
"tumhi se seekhi hain"
"acha abhi batao karna kiya hai?" she opened her eyes fully and yawned.
"bataon ya karun?" he teased her.
"yuvi! M serious" she said feeling giddy at his comment.
"well filhal ka scene to ye hai k hum ek rest house main rukenge where you can freshen up or phir hum ooti jarahe hain" he told her of his plans.
"ooti?? Y ooti? Wo to itna door hai yahan se" she straightened up and was shocked.
"tabhi to. Itni door jahan koi bhi hum dono k beech na asake" he said in a deep voice.
"seriously I never thought you could be like this" she said shaking her head disbelievingly at him and her eyes wide.
"your fault. You made me this" he smirked and looked ahead.
"I can very well see what iv done. Per ab ye batao k hum do din main wapas kaise ayenge or phir duty bhi join karni hai"
"don't you worry my dear. When yuvi is here have no fear. Tumhain le k jana or wapas lana mera kaam hai or njoy karana bhi"
"hmmm so to hai" she said with a sigh and nodded. Finally after a few minute's drive yuvi stopped the car in front of a cottage like house.
"chalo!" yuvi said stepping out of the car and went around to open the door of her side.
"bohat khubsurat jaga hai" she exclaimed stepping out of the car as the breeze and scent of the plants, flowers and mist filled in her breath with all the mountains and trees around and chirping of birds.
"tumse ziada nahi" he told her gazing at her beauty as she was lost in the surroundings. As naina looked back at him with a small smile on her lips, she realized that he was lost in her. She shook her head,
"chalo!!" she said in an orderly tone.
Yuvi led her inside the cottage and they both left for their own rooms where naina took bath and changed in a casual wear that was in her backpack that yuvi had packed for her and as she came out of bath room she laid down on the soft and cosy looking bed which was even more cosier as she fell on it. She cuddeled the pillow beside her and thought she would just wait for yuvi to come out. Without realizing the time naina fell asleep right there and didn't heard yuvi knock the door and come in.
He walked in and found her cuddeled to the fluffy pillow. She looked just like a doll and he smiled at her and walked softly beside her and sat down without making noise, carefully not to wake her up. He saw her closely and quietly for a long time. Her soft and naturally beautiful features, her innocence that even showed in her sleep on her face, her soft lips, her long lashes, everything… he loved everything about her. How could be anyone so beautiful on earth? He raised his hand to her face without realizing that he might wake her up and he couldn't control himself. He gently caressed her jaw line with the back of his fingers when she stirred and he moved his hand back. She opened her eyes slightly and saw him sitting close. She blushed as yuvi kept gazing at her smilingly shamelessly. She pulled the pillow above her head to avoid his gaze,
"gosh what are you naina?" he said with a lost tone.
"ab kiya hai?" she asked knowing what he meant.
"matlab kitna soti ho?? Tum drug addict to nahi ho?" he teased her changing the topic.
"han hun sare drugs leti hun ek sath." She threw the pillow on him and sat up rubbing her eyes in hopes of rubbing off her sleep and didn't realized how hard she was making it for yuvi to control his urges.
"pata tha mujhe. Chalo aj se sath main lenge. Ab tumhain chupne ki zarurat nahi naina. Tabhi main kahun itne mood swings kiyun hote hain tumhain!" he teased her again.
"huh!! Mujhe hote hain mood swings dr.yuvi ya apko??" she turned to glare at him.
"main ne kiya kiya?"
"abhi bataon main tumhain tumne kiya kiya?"
"han han batao!"
"nahi chodo phir se mood swing ajayega" she said with a secret smile and raised her hand to her hair to tie them.
"acha ab chalo kuch kha lo"
"wow tumhain bhi khayal aya k main ne nashta bhi nahi kiya?" she said sarcastically.
"madam apkay liye main ne gadi main sb kuch tayyar rakha hua tha per ap ki neend puri ho tb kuch khilaon na"
"hey ya I just noticed mujhe itni neend kiyun arahi hai. Normally to itni nahi ati" she became serious.
"kiyun k kal raat apki so called green tea main main ne thooodi si anti depressant milayi thi takay ap theek hojayen that's y you are feeling so sleepy." He told her casually and her mouth dropped open.
"per ye dizziness bhi to nahi jarahi ub and I was totally fine yuvi kiya zarurat thi tumhain dawai milane ki? You know how I hate medicines"
"true that's why milayi kiyun k agar waise hi deta tb to tum leti na. ab chalo khana kha lo to ye dizziness bhi khatam hojayegi. Come on" yuvi got up and held out his hand for her.
"or meri neend ko bura bhala bol rahe ho tum even though its all your fault" she yawned and stretched out her arms.
"ab jaldi uth jao warna iskay baad jo bhi hua it won't be my fault" he said in a deep tone telling her what she was making him feel like by her casualty. In a short time she had grown used to his flirting and closeness and she didn't felt awkward at all by his comments or closeness.
She shook her head and quickly got up while he smirked at her knowing that she understood what he meant. She truly made him uncontrollable. All his emotions, his passions that he had never seen or expected to be seen even by himself were all alive now. His blood that had grown cold due to loneliness was now hot by her presence in his life. He loved every moment of his life.
Naina looked out at the huge house in front of her eyes,
"Hum yahan rahenge?" she asked in awe as she stood out of the car.
"han! Kiyun pasand nahi aya?" he smiled at her expressions.
"nahi nahi! Bohat khubsurat hai per I thot ye kisi or ka ghar hai. Itna bada hai. Its…its like a mansion"
"it is a mansion. Ab yahin khadi rahogi ya andar chalogi" he gently took her hand.
"yuvi?"
"hmm"
"ye sb karne ki kiya zarurat thi? I mean hum kahin or bhi to…"
"naina main ne ye apni marzi se kiya tumhari wajah se nahi. Mera dil kiya tumhare liye ye karne ka or tum mujhe mana nahi kar sakti because whatever I want I'll do" slight anger shot in his voice.
"acha baba theek hai. Ghussa kiyun hote ho"
"ab andar chalo ya or bhi kuch puchna hai?" he asked in a mock.
"nai nahi chalo" she said shaking her head at him.

Yuvi lead naina on the path towards the main door and naina kept looking around with her eyes wide. She had never seen a place as beautiful as this one.
"ready?" he stood outside the door taking out the antique style keys from his pocket.
"huh?" she asked as she was lost looking at the hugeness and beauty of the house.
"andar chalne k liye ready?"
"y…yes, yes ofcourse" she replied flustered.
"ok" he inserted the keys in the lock and opened the door with a click. The heavy oak door opened with a slight creak and a little strength by yuvi.
Naina gasped and her hand flew up on her mouth that dropped open by the antique almost Victorian style interiors. She loved it but all she cared about was that why had he done so much for her?
"come I'll show you the rooms" he placed his hand gently on her back and pulled her forward before she fainted. He wanted to see just those expressions on her face and he loved that. He felt as if his love was being payed back without even any struggle.
"This is my room" he opened the door and showed her the room.
"its… beautiful" she roamed around the room looking at the mahagony furniture to the intricate designings that gave a manly touch to the room. She went towards the windows that filtered the sunlilght beautifully inside the room while the outside view gave another fresh touch.
"this is nothing. Come!"
"if this is nothing what would be something?" she murmered with her brows raised while she gave a look back at the room.
"you'll see for yourself"
He lead her towards the dining room,
She was shocked to see such a huge dining room.
"it can fill up an army"
"as of now it is just for you and me" he whispered in her ear closely sending shivers inside her and she felt her breathing heavy.
From the other side of the dining room he led her towards the back side of the house towards the living room and outside.
"I'll be lost here forever" she said heavily and he came to an abrupt halt holding her waist, he pulled her closer.
"That's what I want. We both lost here forever" before she could find something to say he started walking again and took her outside.
"And this, my lady is your bedroom!" he opened the wooden door with a slight push and her eyes caught sight of her dream room.
"yuvi??" she whispered his name and walked inside in fact dragged herself inside. The room was simple yet extravagant. She had always dreamed of exactly this kind of room. Forest, gardens, waterfall, flowers, silence and peace all around her while a huge bed with just the same white silk sheets and lots of pillows around her. The room not too big neither too small and curtains and windows all around the room. She would feel like a princess in such an environment and that was what he had made her feel right now.
"this is impossible" she almost whispered in wonder.
"anything is possible for you sweetheart"
"but why?"
"because I love you" he hugged her from her back and gathered her arms in his.
"now come. No time for rest. You already have slept a lot you sleepy head." He kissed her head and took her out.
Going out he took her to the patio,
One side of the house gave a modern touch while the other side towards the forest gave an extremely cottage like look that was equally beautiful and peaceful.
"good evening sir, good evening ma'am" a man of middle ages, wearing a proper uniform of a butler gave a slight bow in courtesy.
"good evening Robert" yuvi smiled at him.
"sir you liked all? We did as you had said"
"its lovely Robert. Naina this is Robert. He has been working here since I was 6year old and Robert this is naina"
"good evening ma'am. I still remember the day when his father brought his mother and him to this house. He loved his wife a lot ma'am and I hope that the son is taking the lead of his father?" naina blushed and looked down while yuvi smiled at her.
"sir tea is ready!" Robert said and then went back inside.
"naina tum fresh hojao phir we'll have tea."
"per wo…" she looked back a little confused.
"kamra kahan hai?" he asked with a grin knowing that she didn't remember the way.
"han" she replied embarrassed.
"chalo" he giggled and slipped his hand in her waist.
Naina took a bath in a luxurious bathroom and wore a casual shalwar kameez and a loose sweater on top due to the cold there. As she came out of the room she found yuvi sitting in the terrace outside her room with a trolley filled with food set in front of him and a kettle covered with teacosy and two cups in saucers placed in front of him in a royal fashion.
"ahem ahem" she made a noise from her throat to let her presence be felt.
"I already know you are in naina" he told her as a matter of fact and he turned to look at her and looked down at her from head to toe and gave an amused smile shaking his head.
"kiya hua? Whats so funny?" she looked down at herself.
"nothing"
"bolo?" she walked to him and sat down on the cushions.
"I'll tell you later" she frowned at his answer.
"so ab kiya plan hai?" she asked him.
"sare surprises aise hi thodi bataonga"
"to phir kaise?"
"dheere dheere! Thoda patience." He leaned closer to her.
"yuvi itna sb karne ki kiya zarurat thi?" she asked seriously.
"naina iv done nothing. This is my house except that I hated it before you came in my life. Bohat si yaadain judi hain is ghar se meri jo mujhe takleef deti thi per tumhare anay se wohio yaadain ab achi lag rahi hain mujhe or main kuch or yaadain banana chahta hun yahan" he replied. She looked away for a moment and they both sat in silence. She then leaned forward and took off the teacosy from the kettle.
"ruko! Main dalta hun" yuvi held her hand and then took the kettle to pour the tea himself for her.
"phir bhi yuvi tumne itne short notice main…" she started again.
"naina ab agar ek baar or tumne kuch kaha to I know how to keep you silent" he warned her with a dangerous glance.
"dhamki kiyun dete ho? Main waise hi chup hojaongi" she said with a child like frown.
"by the way where did you got that dress from?" he smiled and held out her cup.
"nowhere its just a casual wear."
"remind me to burn it as soon as possible"
"kiyun acha nahi hai? I'll change it" she was about ot get up when he placed his hand gently on her knee to make her sit down.
"nahi its just too good to take me off my track"
"tum ne kabhi sprite pi hai?" she asked out of the blue looking at her cup intently.
"what?" now it was his turn to get confused.
"yeah you know 'seedhi baat no bakwas' type???? You talk nonsense like that"
"you think so?" he said with a knowing grin on his lips.
"I know so"
"Fine. Defeated!" he shrugged his shoulders and looked down.
"so you are" she smiled.

"robert we are going out and will be back before its dark" naina heard yuvi talking to Robert as she came out in the drawing room.
"yes sir. Dinner would be waiting for you"
"thank you Robert." With that Robert went inside.
"yuvi hum kahan jarahe hain?" naina asked.
"just for a walk outside. I want to show you around"
"ok. Do I need to change?" she asked hoping the answer would be negative.
"nah! you are too hot as you are." He said grabbing her arm and pulling her closer.
"I thought so" she smiled in glee.
They watched the mountains, flowers, trees, the mist, the cold breeze enjoying their romance as well.

He led her in to the forest but not in the denser area and just outside. She collected a few flowers while they talked and talked about this and that. Their child hood, their school and college experiences, their ambitions, their likes and dislikes. The topics were unending on which they could talk. There was not a single moment of silence and awkwardness when yuvi came close to her or touched her caringly or pulled her closer to himself. Instead she liked the closeness in between them. They laughed, chased eachother, teased and ran around the field. In all this time yuvi realized that she had totally forgotten about all that happened before they came here and she was not stressed out anymore and was glad because she was happy with him.
Finally yuvi took her ahead and they stopped at a stream. Naina looked out at it in awestruck while yuvi stood beside her and looked at her face.
"you liked it?" he asked getting closer to her ear.
"loved it" she whispered more to herself then him.
"come lets sit" he stepped forward inside the water after taking off his shoes and socks at the edge and held out his hand to her.
"yahan?" she asked looking down.
"han. Tum ao to" she took off her sandals as well and gave him her hand.
He took her forward and he sat on a huge rock.
"per yahan to aik hi beth sakta hai"
"mmhmm do!" and with that he pulled her on his laps and he held her close.
"yuvi! Tum aise kab se hogaye?"
"jb se tum ayi ho"
"acha abhi chodo or tum thoda sa side pe ho and main bhi yahin beth jaongi" she started to get up and shrug his arms away but he held her tightly.
"nahi I like it when you are close to me"
"to waise bhi to close hi hungi na" she argued.
"nahi mujhe aise hi bethna hai" he placed his head on her shoulder nuzzling to her soft skin.
"yuvi…" she started to protest.
"sshhh! Tum bata rahi thi jb tumne college main cheating ki thi?" he diverted her attention and she shook her head smilingly and continued with her tale and they started talking again.
It was a short while when clouds started appearing in the sky. Yuvi rubbed her arms as he knew she might catch cold.
"yuvi?"
"hmm"
"tumhain kaise pata k mujhe ye sb pasand ayega?"
"anybody would like it naina" he gathered her closer to her.
"ma…matlab???" at first she didn't understood what he meant and then suddenly understanding dawned on her, "Yuvi…. M talking about the house and all"
"oh wo! Comeon naina itna to pata chal hi jata hai"
"kaise?"
"kiyun tumhain mere baray main nahi pata kiya?"
"per tumhara to obvious hai na"
"tumhara bhi waise hi obvious hai mere liye"
"you love me a lot. Don't you?"
"more than my life" he said brushing his lips lightly with her temple and they talked again about everything, anything. She was one person in the world with whom he felt free.
"yuvi I think hamain wapas jana chahiye" naina said loking up at the sky.
"itna acha mausam horaha hai"
"its… its getting dark" she replied still looking up.
"chalo" he got up slowly knowing that the dark atmosphere was scaring her.

"sorry" she said as they entered inside the house.
"kiyun?"
"you wanted to stay there and meri wajah se…"
"naina m warning you for the last time. Ab agar tumne aise behave kiya to you will face the consequences… hard way" he held her upper arm firmly.
"acha …theek hai… soryy," she said and he leaned his face closer to her face and she held out her hand in front of her face, "…nahi nahi I swear ab nahi karungi" he left her arm and turned around looking away.
"what did I do now?" she asked wanting to know the cause of his mood but he didn't look at her.
"yuvi plss" she stepped in front of him and asked again.
"m hungry" he told her in a casual tone as if nothing happened and she looked at him disbelievingly, her mouth dropped open and eyes wide.
"kiya hua?" he asked with humour in his eyes.
"ur too much" she shook her head.
"I haven't had much yet" he winked at her and walked ahead while she followed him.
Yuvi gifted her beautiful silk, bottle green gown that reached to her feet falling in swirls on her feet. She wore a pair of emerald ear rings that he told her to wear, letting her hair down fall in waves on her shoulders and to her waist. While he wore a black shirt with trousers and let his few top buttons open that revealed his finely muscled chest. He wore a black jacket above his shirt.
They had a candle lit dinner in the huge dining room. Yuvi and naina at the both ends of the table and servants serving them, light music playing around them. The atmosphere was truly magical.
"tumhain pata hai is jaga k baray main kuch stories hain" yuvi started with a glint in his eyes.
"acha? Jaise?" she asked taking a bite from the fork.
"they say there are ghosts here" he said leaning back in his chair propping his booted foor on his knee and took a sip of his wine.
"huh?" she looked at him shocked with the fork in her mouth.
"han tabhi to main yahan ata nahi hun" he said looking casually around the room.
"kiyun? Per ye sb to rehte hain yahan" she reffered to the servants and gulped down the bite from her throat.
"nahi naina ye sb bas der subha atay ahi or apna kaam kar k shaam tk chale jate hain or ye yahan ab aye hain jb main aya hun" he told her in a matter of factly way.
"acha. To…to kiya kehte hain un…ghosts k baray main?" she asked as she felt goosebumps when the air from the windows hit her and the noise of the air swooshing in.
"ab ye ghar to dekha hi hai tumne! Kitna old and antique sa lagta hai na"
"han" she agreed with him and didn't saw his smirk.
"jo area modern sa hai wahan dad ne renovation karayi thi or wo jo back side ka area hai na…" he pointed with his finger on the left side.
"jahan mera room hai?" she asked with her eyes widening in a worried expression.
"exactly wo area isiliye renovate nahi hua cuz wo jungle ka area hai and usi side pe ghosts hain" he told her as if he wasn't worried.
"y…yuvi…main ye sb… in sab baton pe believe nahi karti…ok" she told him as her throat went dry even though she had taken a sip of her orange juice.
"as you wish main to waise hi bata raha tha" he shrugged his shoulders and looked away with a hidden grin while she looked around the dark room suspiciously.
After dinner when all the servants had gone and yuvi naina sat having green tea in the living room talking to each other. Yuvi stood up suddenly and said,
"chalo!"
"kahan?" naina asked surprised. He had used 'chalo' as an order more than any other word in the whole day.
"chalo to surprise hai tumhare liye" he caught her hand and tugged it to get her up.
"is waqt?? Per kahan?"
"tum chalo to" he pulled her hand slightly and she got up. He took her ahead on the back side of the house where her bedroom was but he crossed her bedroom and they landed below the stairs that naina hadn't seen before.
"ye kiya…"
"upar chalo" he stepped on the first step.
"yuvi it's so dark" she held back looking up at the dark.
"kuch nahi hota" he assured her and started again.
"its really scary up there"
"naina main hun na. chalo to iv got a surprise for you" he said excitedly.
"can't we see it in the morning?" she asked in a plead.
"nahi abhi chalna hai" he said and pulled her forward.
"yuvi mujhe nahi jana hai. It looks… so… so huanty types" she started again as she tok two or three steps still holding her hand back.
"its definitely not haunted darling. Chalo"
"nahi na yuvi" she tugged her hand back again.
"naina pyaar se keh raha hun" he stopped and looked back at her threateningly.
"tum har baat pe dhamki kiyun dete ho? Nahi jana bas mujhe and don't try to intimidate me" she said pulling her hand back and crossed it across her chest.
"m sorry. I didn't mean it that way. Chalo na pls" he apologized knowing that he often went a little too demanding.
"yuvi mujhe dar lagega na or waise bhi itni thand hai" she said accepting his apology.
"to lo na ye jacket le lo mera" he was about o take off his jacket.
"per yuvi… main is gown k sath… gir jaongi" she said looking down at the waves of her gown. She started to make a list of excuses in her mind.
"iska bhi hal hai tum chalne wali to bano" he said and scooped her up in his muscled strong arms.
"yuvi put me down" she held his shoulders for support and closed her eyes shut as he took steps towards darkness.
"pls naina main ne bohat pyaar se kiya hai tumhare liye sb"
"I know yuvi per hum subha bhi to dekh sakte hain na"
"m sory for that ghost stories. That was just a story. I was lying"
"wo baat nahi hai na…yuvi chodo na…" she said again and shut her eyes even more and stiffened in his arms as the long stairs seemed unending.
"naina!" he called her.
"hmm" she replied in tension.
"ankhain to kholo"
"nahi mujhe dar lagega"
"mere sath hote huay bhi?" she nodded her head.
"but why have you stiffened?"
"tum… tum gir jaoge agar… itni oonchai hai n…" she started in almost a whisper and he stopped suddenly letting her down. She looked upstairs and then downstairs realizing that she was in the middle of nowhere and was in dark but the moonlight from upstairs was letting her see a little. She then looked at yuvi and found him staring at her disbelievingly.
"kiya hua?"she asked confused as yuvi took a step towards her. She tried to read his expressions but she couldn't figure out anything except that he was… dangerously handsome and sent delicious chills down in her spine.
"what was this creature? She cared for him at such a situation when she was scared to death and still she was worried that if she struggeled he would fall? He had never expected someone to care for him so much. He could still see the fright in her eyes due to the darkness.
She decided to turn away right now before it got too late… but it was too late now. As she turned to take a step down he caught her wrist. Her eyes shot back at him as his touch sent a shock in her body and excitement took place inside her. She wanted him to say something but instead he caught her other wrist as well and pushed her back hard with the wall.
"yuvi??" she started but found herself being kissed by him. For a moment she went numb as she couldn't understand what was happening with her but then as his fingers entwined with hers and he closed the distance between them further by attaching his body with hers and gave her support she felt herself melting and she thanked him for the support or she was sure she would fall any moment. He drove inside her lips and savoured the sweetness of her with such force that she was frightened for a moment and shivered but he slowed down to gentleness as he felt her shiver. He groaned with his urging desire and hunger while she surrenderd herself to him almost freely. He left her hands and slipped them slowly down to her waist and on her back moving his hands up and down with a sense of possession. She held his shoulders for support. She seemed to have lost her senses and consciousness but he seemed to be in control of himself when he had equally lost his self controlled that he had possessed for so long but tonight his passion overtook his control. His lips slipped down to her throat and he whispered,
"I have had enough naina! Too much! I can't do it anymore." Suddenly he held back and looked at her. She opened her eyes slowly and gazed back in the deep mist of his eyes.
"come with me" he held her hand and took her upstairs. She let him take her quietly without any protest wherever he was taking her. She wasn't in a condition to think rationally. She was breathing heavily and she still hadn't overcome with what happened below.
He stopped on the roof top and left her hand for just a minute to turn on the lights. She looked around confused in the cold and tried to gain back her senses and regain her strength. She held her hair and gulped the air as her throat was dry she felt her hand touched gently. She turned around quickly and saw yuvi gently raising her hand to his lips. He planted a soft kiss on her fingers and the lights glowed from around them and naina saw a table set with a bottle and two glasses placed elegantly there while he bent down on his knees. She was unable to say anything and before she could say anything yuvi spoke,
"Dr.naina Mehta will you marry me?" she drew in her breath. She had never expected this proposal as such. She didn't know how to react.
"I want to give you my protection and my love for our entire life. Will you accept my love? Wil you spend you entire life with me?"
A tear escaped from her eye and she nodded softly.
"I want to hear a yes naina" command again! She chuckeled through her tears and gathered her courage and voice came out of her throat,
"yes"
"I love you" yuvi stood up.
"naturally" she shrugged her shoulders and said with a grin.
"that's not what you are supposed to say" he raised his eyebrows.
"fine I love you too" she said shaking her head. He smiled and took out a small silver box from his pocket and took out a beautiful ring embedded with emerald and diamonds and placed it on her finger.
"ye…" naina started overwhelmed with shock and happiness.
"humare liye! Now you have no right to go anywhere without me"
"tum…?? Sudhro ge nahi na??" she looked at him with a frown at his possessiveness.
"tch! Na! kabhi nahi" he replied with a smile.
"pata hai mujhe"
"shadi kab karni hai?" he asked holding both her hands close to him.
"as if tum meri baat mano ge?" she said mockingly.
"ofcourse my lady tumhari nahi manunga to kiski manunga"
"stop buttering me" she said rolling her eyes.
"you are already buttered and ready to be eaten" he leaned closer to her cheek.
"yuvi" she held back shockingly.
"hum kal tumhare papa ko sb bata denge"
"kal?"
"han" he told her as a final decision and she knew that there was no turning back.
"yuvi itni jaldi…"
"mujhe jaldi hai naina! You are totally unpredictable and you need someone who is always there hovering over you only then you can be…" he started seriously.
"are you doing this only because you think I am unsafe and un protected or because you love me?" she asked equally serious.
"both"
"you are unbelievable" she raised her brows and dropped her hands on her sides.
"yes I am and im not gonna get into a fight because of this ok. M gonna tell your papa about us and we are gonna get married as soon as possible."
"yes my lord" she replied sarcastically.
"listen naina. I want to marry you. I want to make you mine or this feeling of insecurity will kill me"
"okay" she smiled at him.
"shall we celebrate?" he asked kissing her fingers lightly and she nodded. Such an unpredictable proposal, she had never expected. It had begun so film like and ended up so 'yuvi like' but still she wasn't complaining and was happy that he loved her so much to do so much for her.
He took her ahead towards the table and poured the drink in the two glasses, handing her one of the glass. They toasted and took a small sip looking into eachother's eyes. Yuvi set his goblet down on the table lightly and took her glass away as well and took her hand gently in hers and out of nowhere a soft music started to play. He slipped his hand gently to her waist pulling her closer towards him and swayed her gently on the tune of his love…their love. She placed her head softly on his chest listening to the rhythm of his heart and felt at home and peace forever while he felt the same holding her in his arms. Finally they were together and there was no one to drift them apart and their love won at all odds.

Secrets and Hang-ups of Human Mind

noreply@blogger.com (Neel) — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 03:55:42 PDT

Every person is too some extent mental patient according to Sigmund Freud. But with overcoming this and get success in life is everybody's basic instinct...Behind every sorrow a happiness is hidden , may not be always , but most of the time..and every body's fate is pre-scripted..Everybody should remember one thing that a failure or disappointment in life might be very fatal for some time being, but that failure or disappointment might be more fatal in near future..Look failure and success are very relative....One's failure may be other's success, like some people get some sadistic pleasure by hurting others , that is a different issue...but roaming around with the haunting memories from some past incidents is not logical. This brings only unhappiness , from which the mental hang-ups are born. So I have to say one thing that forget the failures( I know this is a bit difficult for somebody, even me !!)and enjoy the life...Because sun rises in front you, it does not rise behind you...So keep the haunted experiences of life behind you with every sun set everyday and try to cheer your mind up with every sun rise at the begining of the day....!!

I dont want to hypnotise anyone...

Sometimes I think what will happen if am able to hypnotise anybody I want to......he or she will do exactly what I want from him or her. I get scared of having such friends or relatives or any unknown person around me ...who will just listen to me and follow what i instruct to them with no personal opinion.

Few days back I was watching a TV show....there an Acharyya was showing the methods of 'Vashikarans'.The mantra that one has to chant for 1008 times each day starting from a full moon night and ending after 3 long months.The mantra is :
"O Nama Bhagabate Rudraya
Agachcha Agachcha (Name of the person you want to attract)
Akarshaya Akarshaya
Siddhing Kuru
Swaha Swaha "
Many people across the country was asking questions and were very keen to obtain the result of this mantra . Some were more restless and wanted to have the result more quickly.
It was very amazing that Acharyya instructed that one who wants to "vash" / hypnotise others needs to live a very peaceful and generous life these 3 months.He/she needs to be very good at heart and maintain a very clean and cheerful soul.
Good .....indeed ......practising to become a good soul.......would obviously help the nation to develop in many ways but ......how come the intention of hypnotising others would bring a good result??? Personally ....I would never want to be hypnotised by some other individual ...whatever may be the reason .

What is friendship....................analysis

noreply@blogger.com (susmita) — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 23:40:05 PDT

Friendship is an unique relationship to alleviate loneliness and to promote well- being and happiness in human life....
At the interpersonal level, individuals seek out friends and social interactions that serve to fulfill a general need to belong but that explicitly connect the self to others in particular ways...
Some people may choose friends with similar tastes and preferences because they can most easily feel connectedness with persons with whom they identify and with whom they can be themselves. others may pursue more asymmetric friendship.........still others may enter friendships with persons who can most easily smooth the course of social interaction....

Friendships represent the interaction of potentially divergent interpersonal agendas, as one partner looks for one outcome and the other perhaps seeks a different form of social connectedness, and so it is both important and informative to consider friendship as a social process, subject to the clashes , and the convergences typical of such dynamic interactions.......

This is my analysis..............friends please share your views...looking forward to get comments........Thanks...

Half Of 'Life' is 'if'....is it right to see life partially?

noreply@blogger.com (Pearl) — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 23:41:05 PDT

Human life is very precious and is meant for achieving TRUE happiness. Every life is a mix of good and bad experiences. Perhaps both have to coexist. At times, the course of life turns so drastically that we are wonderstruck.This too happens both for good as well as bad. Someone has rightly said that half of 'life' is 'if'(note the two middle letters).But to see life partially is not fair,it has to be seen in totality.From that point of view all experiences of life can be made enriching.

How can one do so? The human mind has a tremendous capacity for acceptance as well as repulsion.When we accept a situation with a positive frame of mind, answers come in the natural course,while the situation gets worsened when we approach it with a negative frame. Thus a positive mind has immense power and this fact reflects in one's life.

Anyone whoever has seen his/her life in totality and made all the experiences happen to enrichen life are welcome to share their thoughts........and enlighten others.

Hi Everybody !!!
