Naina's heart clenches on hearing her new name. Her eyes brim with tears. Rajveer slowly shakes his head into negative, staring her throughout. Naina looks away, controlling her feelings.
"Yahan sign kar dijiye. Aur ye rahi apke room ki chabi.",
says the man.
"Apka saaman..?",
he asks and searches standing at his place, looking behind them and at their hands if there is any luggage they are carrying?
Rajveer and Naina look towards each other.
Looking back towards the man, Rajveer says,
"Nahi hai!"
The man smiles and says,
"Aj kal ke bachey honeymoon par bhi bina bags ke aney lagey hain kya?",
and laughs lightly.
His statement skips Rajveer's and Naina's heartbeats. Naina's cheeks turn crimson red. She feels lajja about the fact that it's not Rajveer but Abhimanyu who had put the vermilion in her maang that the man can see. Also the mangalsutra is of Abhimanyu's name and not of Rajveer's! And also how can she make this man understand how much of a burden are these for her right now?
Rajveer looks towards Naina, trying to gauge her reaction to all this. Naina bows her head out of shyness, there is no smile on her face, only her cheeks are warm because of the adrenaline rush that the man's words caused and which got increased because of Rajveer's presence next to her.
They both turn and leave for their room.
Assured that they have left, the man calls someone and says,
"Haan wo yahin hain. Mr. and Mrs. Rajveer Singh Shekhawat ke naam se!"
~*~*~
(Rajveer-Naina light piano key tune begins)
They enter their room together. Rajveer locks the room behind them. Naina feels hesitant and nervous about sharing the room with him.
Rajveer's state is no better. But his nervousness is more about the fact that what Naina must be going through right now? Is she comfortable at sharing the room with him? Or does she have her doubts?
Naina looks around in the room, quietly, with no smile on her face. Her each gesture tells Rajveer how nervous she must be right now.
Clearing his throat, he drags her attention.
"Ahmm... Naina bahar jo kuch bhi hua...",
Rajveer begins, but gets intervened by her,
"Wo sub maine shuru kiya!"
Rajveer gets stunned at realizing how easily she accepts anything and everything thrown by Rajveer towards her, without questioning him.
Naina turns to look towards him and very softly tells him,
"Apko kuch bolne ki zarurat nahi."
Rajveer stares her, at a loss of words.
The sudden knock at the door drags their attention.
"Tum relax karo, main dekhta hun.",
