Ch. 27 ⭐

Ahluwalia house,
Nainital.

Same day, 08:00 hours

Naina's mother was scolding her for not taking care of her hair properly, particularly for not oiling it. Naina tried to explain that her time at the military academy had left her with a packed schedule and little time for such things. Alekh, Huda, and Yudi, sitting at the dining table and enjoying their breakfast, couldn't help but laugh at Naina's helpless expression.

"Don't laugh, guys. Naina ji will beat you all if she catches you laughing," Ali warned as he walked by the dining table, grinning at their playful teasing. His comment only made the others laugh harder, while Naina shot them all a mock glare, adding to the lighthearted mood in the room.

After they were done with their breakfasts, Ali, Alekh, Pooja, Huda, and Yudi came to Naina's rescue, gently guiding her away from her mother's scolding and leading her to her room. As soon as they were inside, Pooja pulled out a beautifully wrapped jewelry box, and Naina's eyes widened in surprise.

"What's this?" Naina asked, looking from Pooja to the others in confusion.

Huda grinned and said, "We wanted to give you a little something for your wedding."

Pooja carefully opened the box, revealing a stunning gold necklace set. "We all chipped in and got this for our Veer and Zaara. We wanted to give you a special gift for your big day," she explained with a warm smile.

Naina's initial reaction was to scold them. "You all shouldn't have spent your hard-earned money on this. It's too much!" she said, her voice tinged with concern.

But as she looked at their faces—filled with affection and anticipation—she realized the depth of their gesture. This piece of the jewelry was not just a gift, but their shared memories, countless moments of laughter, and the unbreakable bond they had forged over the years. She realized how much thought and emotion had gone into this gift. The bond she shared with her friends was more valuable than any material gift, and their gesture touched her deeply.

Her eyes misted over, and her voice softened. "I can't believe you did this for me. I'm so grateful for all of you." She took the necklace set from Pooja with a smile, her emotions overflowing. "Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I'll always keep this set with me."

"Do you like it? Alekh, Pooja, and Huda argued for over two hours before settling on this necklace set," Yudi shared with an excited smile.

Naina looked at the sita har they had gifted her. The intricate traditional design of the gold necklace was truly beautiful. "This is gorgeous. I love it."

"See! I told you both that Naina would like a simpler design rather than the over-the-top designs you guys were picking," Alekh pointed out smugly in his usual dry tone.
