Sameer returned home at past half seven in the night. He was late due to the meeting, it shifted in the evening. He was distressed as Naina was alone in the house for the first time and even was also excited to know her answer and impatient to see her pretty face.
His heart and mind were swirling between the fear and excitement. He wanted to relish some pleasant moment with her like the previous night. He had driven the car swiftly so that he could reach home quickly.As he stepped inside the house, his eyes searched Naina everywhere in the hall, but she was not there. Ramdhari appeared from the kitchen just time and enquired him about Naina.
"Naina kahan hai... Kitchen me hai kya?" Sameer asked peeking in the kitchen.
"Wo bhaiya... bhabhi to..." Ramdhari stopped while giving the answer.
"Kya wo?... kahan hai Naina?" Sameer asked anxiously with loud voice.
"Wo bhabhi lunch ke baad se neeche nahi aayi hai... sham ko bulane gaye to room band tha aur light bhi... hamne bas darwaja thapthapaya... jab koi aawaj nahi aai to socha bhabhi so rahi hogi aur wapas aa gaye... lekin wo ab tak neeche nahi aai hai." Ramdhari told worriedly.
"Naina itne time se neeche nahi aayi aur tune mujhe bataya tak nahi... kahi beemar to nahi hogi... phone to kar sakta tha." He shouted at him.
"Sorry bhaiya... hame laga sham ko aa jaayengi." Ramdhari felt guilty for not informing him earlier.
"Mai jakar dekhata hun." Sameer started ascending the stairs hurriedly and reached his room in a few seconds.
************
Sameer pushed the door as it not closed and he stepped inside, the room was dark, cold and silent. This silent atmosphere frightened him more and ever since he had get to know about Naina from Ramdhari that had an unknown fear gripped his heart. The pindrop silence of the room was piercing his heart like had stabbed him in the back with a knife.
Seeing the darkness in the room, his heart pounded at the fear of something untoward and immediately called out Naina's name. But he did not get any answer and then turned on the light. There was silence and nothing changed as the light spreaded throughout the room.
Sameer glanced over all room while standing at the door once but she was no where to be seen and he slowly entered the room with hope that she might be in the balcony. When he crossed the bed, his heart leapt out to his mouth in horror. He looked at her with wide and terrified eyes.
As Naina was sitting on the floor next to the bed. Hair was scattered all over her face, tears stains were dry and lips were quivering. she was absolutely numbed as she did not sensed his arrival even not heard his voice.
Her pathetic condition was clearly telling that she had been sitting like this for a long time.Her condition had wrenched his heart deeply and no words escaped from his mouth as he had lost all his senses.
Seeing her disheveled state he had frozen at his place, but after sometime regained his senses and immediately kneeled down next to her and engulfed her in his embrace, stroked her hair. As she felt his warmth and the next moment she sobbed aloud upon his chest.
He was terrified and her trembling figure scared him more. He could not comprehended that how to console her as he did not know what the matter that was the reason of her miserable state. He first made himself strong and waited for her to come to senses that she could to tell him about the reason. He clutched her tightly in his protective arms and caressed her back to calm her down.
When her sobbing less downed a little, he parted her away and lifted her face from her chin.
"Kya... hua ..Naina..." He asked in a shaky voice.
