Never Let You Go

Performance

Naina coming back into her cabin, pacing here and there recklessly, "suna tha log badalte hai lekin yeh 360 degree conversion pehli baar dekha hai... samajh nahin aata pichhle kuchh saalon mein aisa bhi kya ho gaya ki Sameer ki toh poori personality hi badal gayi hai... inse jyaada mature toh meri Nehu hai... ek baar jo kaho voh baat maan leti hai lekin yeh toh adiyal ghode ki tarah atak hi jaate hai... ek mauka nahin chhod rahe mujhe pareshaan karne ka aur ab yeh naya drama laga rakha hai... pehle toh itne pyaar se mera naam lete the aur ab Madam Madam kah ke mujhe tease kar rahe hai..."

She looked towards the door expecting him to follow her but relieved finding him not there, "aise toh ho li saari preparations... pata nahin Sameer kaise business sambhal lete the itne sab personal issues ke saath bhi..." she was frustrated on herself not able to focus on anything except him. Venting out all her irritation with his continuous teasing she pulled out some papers to check the finances to distract herself from his thought.

Naina all emerged in her work, just took a sip of water when Sameer barged into her office without knock, making her chocked suddenly hearing his voice, "Madam... voh maine meeting..."

Sameer taking long strides came to her side softly caressing her back, "you alright... aaraam se paani piya karo... abhi tak bachchon ke jaise behave karna chhoda nahin tumne..." he scolds lovingly getting worried seeing her coughing badly... his tone was similar like earlier when he used to take care of her during her illness.

Naina getting calm throw daggers that how easily he always put all blame on her, "yeh kya aapne Madam Madam laga rakha hai... bola na mujhe yeh pasand nahin..." it was due to his sudden calling her so professionally, makes her chocked...

Sameer putting a straight face accepted her demand making her shocked, "okay... as you said... ab se mein tum ko Madam nahin kahunga..." she took a deep sigh that finally after showing some tantrums he somehow agreed on her one request...

But in very next second her smile vanished giving her almost a mini heart attack, "okay sweetheart..." he winked making her shocked more...

Before Naina opposed him, he said firmly, "ab office mein tum Madam nahin bolne dogi toh mein jaise ghar par tumhein jaan, sweetheart, wifey bolta hoon, vahi sab toh bolna padega... ismein meri kya galti hai..." he said with the most innocent excuse he can give...

Naina stood from her chair, keeping herself calm to handle him, "please Sameer, mat kijiye na yeh sab... hum donon jaante hai ki inn sab se kuchh nahin hoga... hamara raaste pehle hi alag ho chuke hai aur hum donon hi apni apni zindagi mein khush hai... aap please vaapas..."

Stepping closer to her, he makes her take few steps back to have only her back hit the shelf behind her... he asked placing both his palms on the either side of the shelf, blocking her, "how could you say this so easily ki hamare raaste alag ho chuke hai... kya hamare beech koi rishta nahin, kya humne jo waqt, jo pal ek saath bitaye unke koi maayne nahin tumhare liye... kya voh sab ek dhokha tha ya tum mere saath time paas kar rahi thi..." his voice was turning angry with each word he spoke, his eyes burning in anger hearing that why again and again she is insisting him to leave and go away...

Naina was all dumfound seeing his anger said feebly in her meek voice, "aap please samajhiye mein..."

Sameer losing his temper squeezed his eyes throwing daggers, "kya samjhu mein Naina... bataao mujhe kya samjhu mein jab mujhe saaf saaf dikh raha hai ki kaise tumne aaj tak meri har yaad ko apne dil se laga rakha hai... kaise tumne sabse chhupa kar meri beti ko meri hi bachpan ki dress pehnayi... kaise bhool jaaun ki roj raat tumhein chen ki neend sirf meri awaaz sunkar aati hai... ya yeh samhju ki aaj bhi tumhein meri har chhoti badi baat se kitna farq padta hai... maine khaana khaaya ki nahin, mujhe kaisi coffee pasand hai, mera favourite breakfast banana... kya kya samjhu mein jisase mujhe lage ki tum mere bina khush ho aur tumhein hamare rishtey ke hone ya na hone se koi farq nahin padta..." he almost shouts on proving how much they are still connected to each other even after so many years but she was still adamant to hid her feelings...
