Naina was sitting silently on the porch when Naveen sits beside her.
Naveen takes a deep breath and said "am sorry".
Naina replied in a low tone "am sorry too".
She puts her head on his shoulder while he wraps his arm protectively around her shoulder.
"Mein dar gaya tha" Naveen spoke.
"Janti hu, mein sirf apki behen nahi, apki beti bhi hu.... Apki Jaan basti hai mujhme, mein over bol gayi...am sorry" she felt guilty.
Naveen shook his head "tera hak hai, mujhse shikayat nahi karegi to kis se karegi....uss Rajveer se" he sarcastically said, this feeling is still unsettling for him.
Naina chuckled a little. "I know aap mere liye bahot protective ho. He loves me bhaiya, genuinely. Wo ache insan hai".
Naveen sighed "janta hu, isiliye ab tak zinda hai" Naina was trying to stifle her laugh, it's fun to see her brother getting uncomfortable "agar uspar bharosa nahi karta to teri zimmedari nahi saunpta" he rolls his eyes, looking elsewhere "Dekha hai uski akhon mein meine".
Naina chuckled and tease him "kya dekha hai..?"
Naveen saw her in offence "ab tu maar khayegi, samjhi...bada bhai hu Tera, thodi izzat kar meri...aj kal ki ladkia" he eyed her "sharam haya sab bhul gayi hai" he acted at which she laughed and he too joined the laughter.
He hugged her kissing her head "khush rakhega wo tujhe, khush rahegi tu" this was all he wanted, her happiness and Rajveer is more than perfect for her.
"Aap khush ho na bhaiya..naraz to nahi ho?" Naina asked making sure.
"Mein dar gaya tha, meri choti si gudiya.." he takes heavy breath "badi ho gayi hai, kuch batein thi jo mere liye digest karna mushkil hai.." he looks away while she was embarrassed, damn this Rajveer, who the hell shares such intimate details.
"Meine Haan kardi hai but still it's little unsettling with me...to zyada uchalne ki zarurat nahi hai, jo baat karoge mere samne, akele nahi miloge, ek dusre ko secrete smiles nahi doge, kahi bahar jaoge to mein sath jaunga ya fir Sheena, shaadi se pehle no dates, aur sath sath to bilkul bhi....."
"Bhaiyaaa...stopp" she chuckled "itne rules aur regulations to army mein bhi nahi hote".
"Ha kyunki mein bhai hu Tera.." he looks away a little emotionally.
Naina smiled hugging his arm "bhaiya aap naraz to nahi ho mujhse".
Naveen smiled "tujhse naraz ho bhi jaun to jaunga kaha.... Bacchi hai tu meri...meri duniya tujhse shuru hokar tujhpe hi to khatam hoti hai".
Naina felt overwhelmed, such a loving brother she got. But she needs to do one more thing "par ab iss duniya mein hum sirf do nahi hai" She looks at him seriously "Sheena bhi hai... Apne ek bhai ki zimmedari bina chuke nibhai hai, Sheena ka sath bhi nibhayengena?".
She hopefully looks at him..."tera bhai apni commitments se bhagne wala nahi hai... Ek bar usko khud se dur rakh ke dekh liya hai...lekin ab jab hath pakad liya hai to...zindagi bhar nahi chhodunga..." Naina relaxed in satisfaction, finally things are falling in place.

"Oye, chutiye" Naveen sings entering inside his room.
Rajveer throws him a hard look "meri hi behen ko pata kar mujhe hi ankh dikhata hai sala madar zaa......"
"Maa par jane ki zarurat nahi hai..." Rajveer warns him.
"Gali nahi Dene wala tha maa ko, you know me" Naveen sits in front of him.
