Next day being Sunday , Sameer had planned to spend some time with Munna Pundit. He invited both of them for lunch and later he had planned for a friends reunion at a cafe in law garden where Naina would meet him along with Preeti and swati.
Sameer was talking to Munna and Pundit in his room when Nanu entered.
Nanu : arey Sameer , main soch raha tha ki ek din Rakesh ji ke sath meeting fix kar lete hai. unse teri aur Naina ki baat karna chahta hun . Aisa kar ek din unhe khane pe bula le.
Sameer was excited and shy at the same time .
Munna : arey wah Nanaji...kya sahi socha hai aapne. Ab aayega uunth pahad ke niche.
Sameer frowned : main pahad ke niche hi tha.
Pundit : matlab itna toh maan raha hai ki tu unth hai .
Everybody laughed at this statement but Sameer glared at Pundit.Nanu : acha ab ye sab choro aur aaj raat meri baat karwana unse.
Sameer : thik hai Nanu.
Nanu left the room and munna pundit started teasing Sameer. Their banter continued for sometime after which Sameer asked Pundit : mera toh ho gaya , ab tu bata Pundit ,tune apne baarey me kya socha hai ....koi mili?
Pundit said with a long sigh : kahan yaar....ek rishtedar ne kuch din pehle ek rishta bheja bhi tha, par unke nakhre dekh toh mera shadi se bharosa hi uth gaya. Ladki ke nakhre toh aise the jaise kahin ki queen victoria ho.
Munna frowned : Tu shadi ke liye kisi ladki se mila aur hume bataya bhi nahi.
Pundit : arey yaar ,main nahi ...maa mili thi usse. Wo kuch din pehle mamaji ke paas jamnagar gayi thi na . Toh wahi ye rishta aaya tha. Maa ne socha ki mauka hai toh ladki bhi dekh legi....par hey bhagwan....
Munna : aisi kya bala thi...
Pundit : jo bhi ho...ab bhul ja usey. Tu aur Sameer lucky hai jo Swati aur Naina mili hai....koi uske jaisi milti na toh nakhre sehte sehte jawani me hi budhe ho jatey.
Sameer : haan ye baat toh hai...shadi kisi jua se kam nahi hai. Jitni chinta ladki ke liye hoti hai utni hi ladke ke liye bhi hoti hai ki pata nahi kaisi biwi milegi....waise humare group ki sari ladkiyan achi thi.
Pundit : jai ho baba Maheshwari ki...kitne gyani ho gaye hai.
Munna teased and laughed : abey toh kya sabse shadi karega.
Sameer glared at him : ho gayi bakwas .
Munna : experience se bata raha hun. Chahe Swati ho ,Naina ya Preeti...biwiyan sab ek jaisi hi hoti hai .
Jaldi hi pata chalega.Sameer : chal chor .....waise Preeti ko insab baaton se dur hi rakho. Maine kal dekha tha. Wo already bahut udas rehti hai.bahut saha hai usne.uske samne aisi baatein mat karna.
Pundit was concern : kya hua usey ? Kuch hua tha kya ghar me ?
Sameer tried to read his face and mind and hence continued the talk : kuch hone ke liye baki hai kya ? Waise tu kyun puch raha hai. Usne tujhe kuch kaha tha kya ?
Pundit : matlab ? Mujhse kya kahegi ?
Sameer : Nahi....mera matlab hai. Shayad dosti ke natey kuch batein share ki hogi. Kyunki Naina ne bataya tha ki wo ghar pe bhi jyada share nahi karti hai.
Pundit : jyada kuch toh nahi, par kabhi kabhi jab main puchta hun toh thoda bahut share karti hai.
Munna was surprised : matlab ...tumlog milte rehte ho kya ?
Pundit frowned : kehna kya chahta hai ....kaam ke chalte pehle mulakat hoti thi. Aur phir kabhi kabhi Rakesh uncle ke time pe hospital me huyi thi. Aur do baar yun hi aatey jatey ho gayi.
Toh kya ho gaya ? Infact last time jab miley the toh maine coffee ke liye bhi pucha tha, par usey kuch zaruri kaam tha.
