Even though they had known each other for just 6 months, they had become good friends and finally they had starting becoming more than just good friends.
One day, Naina was so happy that she was able to get a role in a television series. When Naina informed Rajveer, he was reluctant with her idea of joining it.
'Par Naina, it is just a small role.. tumne ye accept kyun ki?'
'small role ya big role.. ab mujhe koyi farka nahi parta..'
'agar tum iss offer ko accept karegi toh tum 2 saal tak contract break nahi kar sakti'
'I know.. phir bhi mujhe manjoor hai'
'par kyun? don't give up on your dreams so soon.. do you even realize what you are doing?..'
'do you even realize that we have not paid house rent from past 3 months?'
Rajveer had a confused expression on his face. Naina continued, 'kal, house owner ka phone aaya tha.. bahut saare bills abhi tak bhari nahi hai toh.. toh tum ab rent ke paise kahaa se laoge? '
'Naina.. ye sab mujhpe chod do, I will handle it'. Rajveer turned away from her feeling a bit offended at the way she was indirectly saying that he was not earning enough for their living.
'Rajveer.. main tumhe kuch galat nahi keh rahi hun.. be practical.. you don't have to struggle alone.. main bhi iss ghar mein reh rahi hun.. I want to help you.. financially.. I know they will not pay me much.. but something is better than nothing right..'
'Naina.. maine kahaa tha na.. main kuch karunga.. tum ye sab karne ki koyi jarurat nahi'
'Rajveer.. main sara din ghar main bait ke kya karungi.. past 6 months mein kitne auditions de chuki hun mai.. ek mein bhi select ho payi? nahi.. I think its a high time for me to accept that I will not get good roles.. main iss offer se kush hun Rajveer..'
Naina had tears in her eyes, Rajveer immediately pulled her into his arms and they embraced one another.
'agar tumhari tarah main bhi socha hota toh.. char saal pehle hi kisi bhi role accept kar chuka hota Naina.. Please have patience.. iss profession mein patience rakhna bahut jaruri hai.. think again Naina'
'I have already decided Rajveer.. ' Rajveer sighed sadly.

'She loves you' Aditya chuckled. 'concentrate' Rajveer asked him to concentrate.
'haan haan main concentrate hi kar raha hun.. director saab ne uss actress ki patli kamar par focus karne ko bola tha, dekho mera focus wahin par hai' Aditya joked as they were shooting with camera. Rajveer glared at him.
'mujh par kyun gussa kar rahe ho..'
'I am not doing this. mai jaa raha hu'
'arey.. kahaa jaa rahe ho???? Naina ke paas?' Aditya teased him again.
'shut up, mujhe kuch kaam hai'
'par director saab ne tumhare barein mein puch liya toh kya bolu?'
'tell him, I left the job'
Rajveer too had been observing the change in her behavior, she had started to develop serious feelings for him.

As usual he came late at night and Naina was waiting for him. When she opened the door, she was all happy and welcomed him with a warm smile. When he entered the living room, the room was beautifully decorated with brightly colored balloons and long colorful trimmings, all dangling from the ceiling. On the wall, hung a colorful banner that said, 'Happy Birthday'
