She stood up and subconsciously said "paranana ji". The person at the door was shocked by what she said. She looked at him with hope and she suddenly remembered. She quickly pulled up her sleeves there was a large black mak on her wrist. Her parnana Sanjay Singh raised his own hands and he also got that mark. Naina got this birthmark . She mostly looked like the people of her mother's side of family. Even her mother didn't have this mark. Seeing this vasundhara believed her whole heartedly.
Her parnana asked -"what's going on ". Vasundhara told her everything , he looked at naina with shock. Everyone was in shock since there were no children in the house yet and a grandchild appeared from future. Naina finally felt relieved vasundhara hugged her there were tears in her eyes.
Naina told everyone what had happened with her but didn't tell about Arjun who was sitting like a stone slab . Watching everything with interest. Vasundhara asked "who is he?".
Naina -"he is just like me , stuck in this time ". Arjun stood up and said namaste. Her parnana nodded.
Naina added -"we will only be here for three days , after that we have to go".Her grandmother gave her some new clothes to change into. For naina who was sticky and smelly it was life Saving straw. She quickly took a bath and changed her clothes and sat down to eat. Although naina didn't feel much comfortable in the suit and all the clothes she had been wearing since two days but it was an only option. Arjun also came out wearing simple short and pant he was looking like an handsome uncle. Naina almost wanted to laugh at her thoughts.
After eating naina slept like a pig because it was her own house. Meanwhile Arjun also rested. In the evening the women in the house were making food . Naina sat beside the chulha whilst her grandmother was cooking. She said "you don't know how much mother talked about you"..
"She always used to say that you loved her the most ".
Vasundhara looked at her smiling face -"you really look like me".
Naina proudly raised her face "ofcourse even Nani and my mothe didn't look as pretty as you , i am the only one who look like you".
" But I am still little less pretty than you". Naina said.Vasundhara laughed heartily. "Really a nice child ". Meanwhile Arjun was almost being interrogated.
Sanjay singh asked him -"which state are you from".
Arjun-"Goa".
"Hmmm really small".
"What's your profession?"
Arjun -"I am in army ".
Sanjay singh nodded in satisfaction
"You are capable, young man".
He was himself a police constable.
He asked "are you married?"
Arjun shook his head. "Why you are old enough for marriage ".
Now that topics shifted to his marriage he really wanted to escape now Arjun thought.Vasundhara called everyone for dinner. Naina came to Arjun . Her parnana patted her head and went inside. She sat beside Arjun " Arjun can't we just spend all the time here".
As she said this the panel appeared
" Your thoughts are really dangerous, please drop this idea if you want to return ". Naina rolled her eyes " why are you listening to our personal talk".
The panel again disappeared.Naina sat there in the wind today she washed her hair after so many days. Her hair was untied . A yellow bulb was fixed on the wall spreading it's rays in the darkness of night. The rays of light half lit her face making her look mysterious. As the wind blew a few strands of hair would escape like Birds feathers and would dance along the wind. She couldn't imagine that at this moment how alluring she was in Arjun's eyes. His eyes were full of her image noticing her every movement.
She turned her face to him and said -" Arjun let's go and eat ". As she turned her face a few strands of her were blown by the wind. Arjun unconsciously raised his hands to tug them behind her ears. But quickly supressed this urge. He stood up "let's go".
After they ate. Everyone sat in a circle on floor to eat. But everyone was looking at Arjun in awe. He had eaten an eternity of chhapatis till now. Naina was looking at him with her eyes big. After eating vasundhara went with naina to sleep. Naina kept talking
Naina -" I have a big brother he is in army". Vasundhara nodded Naina kept talking about her family. And vasundhara listened to her with interest.Vasundhara asked-" what is the nature of my son".
Naina -" Nana ji is a nice person although he is strict".
Vasundhara -"you shouldn't trust that man easily".
Naina nodded she trusted Arjun because they were in the same boat and he had saved her too. But human nature can change at any time .In the whole house there was only one fan and other people used hand fan . It was in vasundhara's room and it was gifted by her father . Naina didn't know where Arjun was sleeping.
In the middle of the night Naina felt a bit hot although it was autumn . The fan was of no use she sat up . Naina decided to take a walk . But it's weird to roam around in the middle of the night like a ghost .
Nonetheless she still went out. She peeked in her parnana's room but Arjun wasn't there. She got confused. She walked in the verandahs there was no light there only the moonlight was making things visible. Naina was ready to run at her fastest Speed imagining all the ghostly images. As she turned around. From the corner of her eyes she saw a figure sleeping on charpai. It was Arjun why is he sleeping here. The moonlight was pouring on his face dimly lighting it. He was looking so peaceful with his eyes closed. The side of his face has few drops of sweats . Naina hesitated for a moment.
But she held the corner of her kurti and wiped his sweat from it . The verandah was not really open there was a tin cover on roof . There was a big door which was open during day. Many changes occured in this house during her timeline. She sat on the corners of the charpai for a while . She stood up when she felt a bit cool.
She went inside the house. She didn't see the person who was sleeping peacefully suddenly opened his eyes as she went away. Arjun thoughtfully looked at naina. He stood up and went inside the room as there were mosquitoes in verandah.
