Prem Vivah

• Worst Anniversary •

• Tonight Samaina was going to complete their happy two-year relationship which contained only love, love, and just love. Nothing else. No toxicity, no controlling, no dark jealousy, no long fights, no disagreements, and no bitterness for each other.

Naina was on cloud nine just by imagining their celebration and also it was her man's birthday tomorrow. She can't wait to wish him and treat him with kisses and hugs. He deserves all the love from her for loving her selflessly.

She sat before the study table, her silky hair rolled up for a beautiful bun hairstyle, writing words of Pyaar on the ivory white paper from the colorful glitter pen. This was her personal love letter for Sameer in which she would describe her feelings and happiness for him which he gave her by being with her and supporting her in every decision. She stopped moving the ink for a moment, thinking of something deeper. A smile arrested her soft lips when she recalled his cute words - "Is baar mere birthday me please karela cake mat banana, aaj bhi uska taste yaad kar ke meri aankhon me aansu aa jate hai."

Naina laughed gently while hitting the notebook on her forehead, and happily wrote a message - "Shuruaat bhale hi kadwe se hui ho lekin ant meethe se karugi humesha."

She mused for creative ideas to celebrate their 2nd anniversary, and her lips stretched for a bright smile. She safely placed the paper inside a plain notebook and rose from the chair, marching toward her phone.

Naina rushed downstairs to a local printing shop, and told the middle-aged man - "Uncle, yeh sab pictures ki colorful copy nikal kar do, aur mujhe ek blue file bhi de dena."

The man nodded, starting his printing work by pressing the button. Meanwhile, Naina was looking here and there to make sure no one from her acquaintance was roaming here, otherwise, she would be in trouble. Soon, the man handed over a bunch of copies of the print-out photographs to her, and Naina lovingly stared at her man who looked bewitching with his cute smile. She stuffed the personal papers inside a transparent blue file and transferred him money by using the payment app. She quickened her pace to reach her home, and Sarita was mopping the floor.

Naina was in a hurry so she didn't see her mother cleaning the floor, she continued running and just then her leg slipped, making the file loose immediately out of her hand. Sarita gasped, placing back the mopping broom. She came to help her daughter, and asked her irately - "Yeh kya tareeka hua ghar me aane ka?" 

"Mujhe kya pata ab aap floor clean kar rahi hai? Aap toh kabhi bhi shuru ho jati hai saaf safai ke saath." Naina replied to her with a frustrated countenance and rubbed her elbow which pained her mildly.

"Tumhe toh kuch karna hai nahi ghar ka kaam, ab main kar rahi hoon usme bhi problem. Waah, sahi hai." Sarita taunted her daughter and made her stand up on her soft feet. Naina quickly knelt to fetch the file, and her expression was relaxed as the photographs had a plain white side that faced suspicious Sarita.

"Isme kya hai?" Sarita inquired.

"Woh art related kuch project hai uski sab print outs hai." Naina lied to her with a sweet smile.

Sarita didn't ask more questions and peacefully let her daughter go inside the bedroom. Naina took a long sigh of relief and shut the door.

She releases the pictures from the file and her big-doe eyes shine with a gleam as she adores their couple pictures, Sameer's solo photographs, and his candid shots which she took while he was unaware of it. Her tiny fingers naturally lift to caress the grin on his charming face that always brightens her dull mood and gives her a reason to Smile.

Naina quickly restarted her work of making a beautiful Scrapbook for the good memories, and her face was glimmering with a cute smile.

At Night - There was a pujan at Mhatre's place on the occasion of opening another clinic for poor patients. They already performed havan yagya at the clinic, now they wanted to treat their relatives by arranging a feast at their home.
