It had been a hectic day for Sameer.Being Friday,the last working day of the week,he had a lot to complete including two back to back meetings and a new recruitment interview.It was around 4 pm when got some free time and was relaxing with a cup of coffee.Suddenly his Secretary, Mr Anuj Patel, a young man of similar age entered in his cabin after seeking permission.
Sameer : kya hua Anuj, aur bhi koi meeting hai kya?
Anuj : Nahi sir, aaj ki sari meetings ho gayi hai...par aapka ek letter aaya hai paasport office se.Aapka paasport 6 mahine me expire ho raha hai, renewal karwana hoga.
Sameer : arey haan...main toh bhul hi gaya tha...ek kaam karo tum isey renewal ke liye de do.And make sure ki ek mahine me ye ho jaye.
Anuj : par Sir ,ye yahan se nahi hoga, uske liye aapko Ahmedabad hi jana hoga...aapka paasport toh wahi se bana tha.Mumbai office ka isse koi lena dena nahi hai.
Sameer made a irritating face : ohh...ye bhi ek kaam badh gaya.Acha Nanu ko bolunga is barey me...wo karwa denge.Shayad Mere jane ki zarurat nahi padegi...
Anuj : Ahmedabad branch ke accounts head ka phone aaya tha, unhe aapse kuch baat karni thi.aap us samay dusre meeting me the toh maine unhe 4.30 me phone karne ko kaha hai...unhe kuch funds aur checks ke barey me baat karni hai.
Sameer : arey par mujhe kyun call kar rahe hai, wahan Nanu se approval kuun nahi le rahe hai.
Anuj : Ji ..unhone kaha hai ki wo 3-4 din kuch nahi karenge aur wahan ka matter bhi aap hi dekhenge.
Sameer looked at him annoyingly and whispered in his mind : ye Nanu bhi na...mujhe pareshan kar ke convince karne ke alag alag bahane dundhte rehte hai.
After a small coffee break ,he looked into the pending matter, attended the call from Ahmedabad branch and finally headed towards his home,rather not home but flat to enjoy his weekend relaxation.

It was Saturday morning and being a holiday, it was a lazy morning for most of the people who enjoyed holiday two days weekend holiday.
Naina got up a little late and served tea to her father and herself.After a late breakfast she got ready and talked to him.
Naina : aaj mujhe bahar jana hai papa..Ghar ka thoda saaman lana hai aur mujhe bhi apni kuch cheezein leni hai.
Rakesh : Thik hai par din me hi chali jana...Ho sakta hai Sham ko tere chacha chachi aayenge.
Naina : Thik hai...main usse pehle aa jaungi, par agar koi rishta le ke aaye toh main pehle hi bol deti hun...mujhe koi interest nahi hai.
Rakesh (angrily) : kyun nahi hai...ab kya puri life isi ghar me bhaithogi...Samaj bhi toh koi cheez hai.Ek toh pehle hi taane dete hai ki kuch jyada chut de di hai tumhe.
Naina : Papa mujhe abhi is barey me koi behes nahi karni hai. Main ja rahi hun.
Saying so she left the place and Rakesh kept looking at her ,frustrated at the situation. Though Naina had spoken her mind, but such thing did affect her to a large extent. The word marraige always brought a wave of fear in her mind ,heart and soul. Even while travelling through the auto she kept thinking about the topic.
Naina (in mind) : Seher kitna veeran lagne laga hai in 5 saalon me. Yahi seher kuch saal pehle sabse khoobsurat lagta tha kyunki tab Sameer sath tha. Tab sapne the, ummeedein thi....par ek galti bhi huyi, wo bhi mujhse.........pyar karne ki galti.

Naina was sitting and chatting with her friends group that included ,Sameer and her cousin Preeti too.
Munna : yaar kuch din me hum graduate ho jayenge. Phir college life bhi khatm ho jayegi.
Pundit : Haan yaar....kitni mast zindagi thi na humari....Ab zindagi humare mazee legi....sari masti khatm. Bas naukri , ghar , paisa kamana...yahi zindagi hogi.
