Na Jaane Kyon...

Tere seene ki lau... mere andar bhi hai

Title is a famous song of Deepveer... no more explanation 🤐

Next morning, while dressing up for the day, Sameer sighed as he realised it was their last day in Kasauli. This time alone with Naina had been so blissful, that he longed to spend few more days here. But it wasn't possible. They had already been on leave for more than a week now. At this time of the year, they couldn't afford to get away for a longer duration.

Yet, he wanted to get away from everything, steal some time exclusively for them, after hectic celebrations with family and friends. He had enjoyed those moments too. But after their marriage, he needed Naina all to himself, at least for a few days.

When he had mentioned his plan to his friends and Rohan, they were not so sure.

"Bhai, Kasauli toh kisi bhi weekend pe jaa sakte ho. Yeh aapka honeymoon hai France jao, Greece jao ya phir kisi aur exotic si jagah pe. Aap bas location decide karo, baaki sab arrangements main kara dunga." Rohan had suggested.

Sanjay was of the same opinion, "Haan yaar Sameer. Naina kya sochegi. Aisa average se honeymoon ka sapna thodi dekha hoga usne. Rohan, tu aisa kar, Mauritius mein"

Sameer interrupted their planning, "Abhi itna time nahi hai ki hum koi foreign trip plan karein. Aur mujhe pata hai Naina ko isse koi farq nahi padega. Uske liye kya matter karta hai main jaanta hun."

Sanjay punched him on the arm, smirking, "Tu matter karta hai pata hai bhai. Lekin aisi choti si jagah jaane se kahin usse bura laga toh? I mean, usse lagna chahiye na ki woh tere liye kitni important hai isliye tu uske liye foreign trip arrange kar raha hai."

Sameer shook his head, smiling, "Woh trip ke basis pe mujhe judge nahi karne wali. Naina ke liye foreign trip koi nayi baat nahi hai. Lekin maine Kasauli mein jo gift uske liye rakha hai, I'm sure usse bohot achha lagega."

They had given in to his argument. Sameer was confident that he was doing the right thing. He knew Naina enough to understand that she valued simpler things, and not something for show off. And her reaction to this place had proved it. The happiness and contentment on her face could be compared to the pleasure derived from the most extravagant trip anywhere in the world.

At breakfast table, she asked, "Aaj ka kya program hai? Kahan jaa rahe hain hum?"

He told her the few places that were yet to be seen, adding later, "Waise agar tum chaho toh hum Shimla bhi chal sakte hain. Aaj raat wahin ruk ke kal wapas nikal jayenge."

Naina scrunched her nose, "Shimla is too crowded. Yahan kitna peaceful hai. Mujhe yeh jagah zyada achhi lagi."

He smiled. This is exactly what he had presumed about her.

"Umm... Sameer... aaj ghar pe hi rehte hain. Jo jagah bachi hain unhe agli baar dekh lenge." She suggested nonchalantly.

Sameer raised a brow, "Lagta hai aaj madam ka full day romance ka plan hai."

"Rest ka plan hai." She rolled her eyes, "Tumhe kal bhi poore din drive karna hai isliye main soch rahi thi aaj rest kar lo toh better hoga."

He followed her to the kitchen as she picked up the plates and went inside, "Aisa kuch nahi hai Naina. Poora din thodi, half day lagta hai yahan se Delhi tak. Hum aaj bhi bahar jaa sakte hain."

She turned to look at him, "Matlab tum yahan mere saath akele time spend karne ki jagah ghoomne jaana prefer karoge?"

He took a step ahead, and placed his hands on either side of her against the counter top, "Agar mujhe puchti toh main ghar kya, bedroom se nikalna bhi prefer nahi karta... teeno din."
