Maine Kiya Hai Intzar

Chapter 12 Lagey raho

Few days had passed after the meeting at Naina's home.Preeti had started her work for which she had visited Pundit's house twice and laid a plan for some new designs.Though she discussed mostly with his mother but Pundit too showed interest in the designs.

Pundit 's mother : Beta bas ghar ko aisa bana do ki jab bahu aaye toh usey ye ghar bilkul naya lagey. Ghar ke baad ek achi ladki mil jaye toh main Ganga naha lun.

Preeti : zarur milegi aunty ji ,Pundit hai hi itna acha ki koi bhi ladki khush rahegi .aur wo khush rahegi toh aaplogon ko bhi khush rakhegi....bas ye apni utpatang harkatein band kar de.

Pundit : heiin ,main kaun si utpatang harkatein karta hun...Sameer se bhi jyada seedha aur bhola bhala hun.

Preeti laughed : Pundit ye shabd na tum teeno dosto pe suit nahi karta hai....aur bhola toh koi bhi nahi hai.

Pundit : haann....par ek gadha zarur hai.

Preeti (inquisitively) : kaun....

Pundit : Sameer ...aur kaun ?jab akal bant rahi thi toh sabse piche tha. Ab ja ke janab ko akal aayi hai...par...

Preeti : Par Naina gussa ho gayi ...hain na. ?

Pundit : Tum usey samhhati kyun nahi ho ki gussa chor de...Sameer sach me...

Preeti : Pundit kuch cheezein waqt mangti hai. Aur uska gussa aur koi nahi balki sirf Sameer hi shant kar sakta hai. Undono ko waqt do. Shayad sab thik ho jaye.
Pundit : arey par dono milemge ya baat karenge tab toh kuch thik hoga ?

Suddenly he thought of something and said : Preeti , kyun na humdono kuch aisa karey ki dono ko baar baar milwa de . Shayad dheere dheere sab thik ho jaye.

Preeti (confusingly ) : Haan par karenge kya ?

Pundit smirked with a spark on his face and discussed something with Preeti. They looked at each other and then smiled with a determination to fulfill their mission successfully.

It had been quite a few days since Sameer had met Naina at her home. It wouldnt be wrong to say that Naina was also restless. She craved for him ,but her anger ,her pain had overcome her feelings. She was not ready to bear the same pain again. So she had successfully masked her feelings and never showed it infront of Preeti. Preeti was very well aware that Sameer's return had affected Naina and she would often prompt her to begin again with him.but Naina was not ready for the pain once again.But there was another fact that she would wait for Sameer's call so that she would hear his voice .

And Sameer did call her. He would call her every night with a hope that she would talk ,but Naina would always cut the call after hearing his voice. Sameer 's voice gave her a solace but Sameer would become sad assuming that she is still furious and not interested in seeing him. Days were passing without any result and soon it would be time for Rakesh to return.

Naina had just come out of the class when she saw one of her female student of her class running towards the library.She halted her and asked.

Naina : kahan bhagi ja rahi ho Ananya?

Ananya (defensively) : wo...mam....main....main wo pani peene ja rahi thi.

Naina frowned : par water taps to dusri taraf hai. Tum udhar kahan ja rahi thi.

Ananya realised her folly : wo madam ,mujhe pani toh peena tha par library bhi jana tha. Toh socha pehle library ho aati hun ,phir pani bhi pi lungi.

Naina : hmmm....thik hai. Waise library me kya kaam tha ?

Ananya stared at her and thought for a second : wo madam ....mujhe accounts ki kitab leni thi.

Naina thought for a couple of seconds and said : mere paas accounts ki 2 extra books hai. Tum mujhse le ke padh lo. Baad me wapas kar dena.

Ananya became dissapointed but tried to persuade her : its ok madam....maine apni friend ko issue karne ke liye keh diya. Bas mujhe ja ke leni hai. Aap kyun takleef kar rahi hai.
