Naina sat there all lost for the past 30 minutes, all drenched in water. Her cries were all mixed with the rain water and she continued sobbing. She thought about her childhood memories when chachaji used to take them for a chaat-party, or to the law garden, chachaji used to prepare delicious aloo parathe, paneer sabji and the mouth watering Moong dal halwa, her each dish had the taste of love and care, and Afcourse all those incidents and happy moments with preeti, that Raksha Bandhan festival when Arjun Bhaiya used to give them gifts, all those memories and moments had faded, she was all alone. Soon she felt a strong hand on her shoulder, she turned to see the person and was amazed to look Nanaji standing with an umbrella in his hand. She looked at him with Misty eyes while he was worried after seeing her condition. He kept the umbrella over her and took her hand and made her come with him. They went to the temple side facing Ganeshji.

He wiped her tears and said, "Naina beta Rona band Karo aur mujhe batao kya hua hai? " Naina not wanting to spill the beans of her house nodded like nothing had happened . Nanaji assuringly said, "Naina tum mujhe Nanaji kehti ho toh mujhe apna bhi samjho, main Samajh sakta hu tumhare gharwalon ke baare mein, par tum mujhe batao toh sahi kya hua hai? " Naina now finally bursted out crying and told him about the happenings of the agarwal house and taiji's taunts. Naina lastly said, "Nanaji meri maa Nahin hai, Taiji hamesha kehti thi ki meri maa ke marne ki wajah main hu, Maine iss jhoot ko kabhi Nahin mana, papa ne kabhi mujhe pyaar Nahin kiya maine kabhi kuch Nahin kahan par mein iske aage aur sehn Nahin kar paungi."
Nanaji patted her head and said, "Naina rote Nahin hai, tu kis mitti ki banni hai, Tere jaisi ladki Maine aaj tak Nahin dekhi, tu bilkul chinta mat kar, aaj hum ganesh ji ke Mandir ke saamne behthe hai sab bohot jald theek Ho jayega, ek kaam kar yeh le thode paise abhi Philal kuch kha lena, aur kabhi bhi himmat mat harna " Naina nodded in yes, headed to a nearby shop to have some food.
Nanaji sat there thinking about her. He found that she is so delicate and so honest, she never complained, nor she got annoyed with her family, she cooperated and just asked for a happy life. Where girls of her age are asking or demanding for things, she didn't ask anything, she trusted him and he didn't want to break her trust. Coming out from his thoughts he went to his home.

Otherside the rain had stopped, sameer Munna and Pandit were in market drinking campa cola and mangola. Munna started a conversation with, "Aree yaar tum logon ko kya batao mere Pappa mujhe shaadi ke liye Itna pareshan kar rahein hai, Maine unhe kahan ki mujhe shaadi Nahin karni par Phir bhi maante hi nahin" Sameer shocking replied, "Kyu Bhai kyu nahin karni shaadi, kisi aur par dil aa gya hai kya" Munna answered, "Ab tujhse kya chupana woh mere school mein ek ladki thi ae Pandit Tu toh jaanta hai na uska naam swati hai, Maine usse bataya nahin par mujhe woh pasand hai" Pandit and Sameer teasingly murmered an "ohhh" to which Munna blushed. Munna said, "Ab tum log mat shuru ho jana, waise hi main bohot pareshan hu, usse Maine bataya nahin" Sameer asked, "Toh ab woh kahan hai? " Munna replied, "Aree Woh yahin ahemdabad mein padh rahin hai, aur Tujhe pataye Woh apne hi college mein padhegi in chuti yon ke baad" Pandit in excitement said, "Aree Phir toh tu usse apne dil ki baat bata dena, mujhe toh abhi tak koi mili hi nahin hai apna toh nil bata sanata hai" Sameer and Munna laughed at his statement.
Pandit continued, "Hamara chhod Sameer tu bata Nanaji toh Tujhe shaadi ke baare mein kehte honge na tune kya socha hai" Sameer in a sigh said, "Haan kehte toh hain par mujhe abhi shaadi waadi Nahin karni abhi main sirf padhayi Karna chahta hu"
Munna replied, "Abhi Nahin karni par jald Tujhe ek ladki milegi jis par tu jaan chidkega" Sameer didn't pay any attention to his words but simply laughed as if it would never happen.
Pandit teasingly said, "dil deh LA dene wali khabar Sameer Maheshwari ka ek ladki par dil aa gya hai" Sameer just laughed and hit him on his shoulder.

After about an hour or so, naina reached her home when all were sleeping, she quietly headed to her room without making any noise and went to sleep. In the evening, Arjun Bhaiya came in her room and caresessed her forehead due to which she woke up.
