"Naina, dekho... jo main tumhe bataunga woh dhyaan se sunna... aur akele mein... kahin alag baith jao... aur please Naina, bhadakna mat... pehle poori baat sun lena", he pleaded.
She wondered what he had to say that required so many instructions. Looking out, she realised that Preeti and chachiji were busy watching TV and chachaji was in his room, doing some office related work. She closed the door of her room and settled on the bed.
"Bolo Sameer, yahan koi nahi hai... aur main baith gayi hun... aisi kya baat hai jiske liye itni taiyari karwa rahe ho?" She was impatient.
Sameer started, "Naina, jo khud ko meri maa kehti hain, aaj achanak apna haq jatana chahti hain mujh par... lekin main unki baat kabhi nahi manunga, ye tum achhe se jaanti ho... par woh hamari zindagi mein mushkilen laane ki poori koshish karengi... mere liye jo bhi kahein... mujhe fark nahi padta... par tumhare liye kuch sun nahi paunga."
Naina listened with bated breath.
He continued, "Woh hamesha se apni baat manwane ke liye kisi bhi hadd tak jaati hain... iss baar unki hadd tum tak bhi aa sakti hai... Naina, shaadi toh main tumse hi karunga... chachaji chachiji ne bhi haan keh di hai".
Naina was not able to understand exactly what he wanted to say, "Sameer, mujhe tumpe poora bharosa hai... fir tum ye sab kyon bata rahe ho? Aur auntyji kya kahengi mujhe? Haan, shayad mujhe kuch khaas pasand naa karein... par agar woh thoda gussa karengi toh main sun lungi... koi baat nahi... Pooja didi ki saas bhi unko gussa karti hain."
He wanted to kiss her for her innocence, "Pooja didi ki saas jaisi nahi hai woh... jab woh maa hi nahi ban paayi toh saas kya banengi."
"Tumhe kis baat ka dar hai, Sameer?" She could sense the hesitation in his voice.
He knew it was time, "Agar hamein mandir mein shaadi karni padi toh kya tum manogi?"
Her heart flipped, "Mandir mein? Matlab bhag ke?"
He could not help but smile at the similarity of their thought.
"Bhaag ke nahi, Naina, chachaji se baat karke... unke ashirwad ke saath."
Her breathing was fast now, "Yeh kya keh rahe ho, Sameer?"
He explained the entire plan to her... stressing on the fact that whatever happened, chachaji and chachiji would be a part of it.
She heard the whole idea, not saying anything till he finished.
"Ab batao, kya lagta hai tumhe? " Done with explaining, he now waited for her decision.
Naina sat stunned. She had often thought about her marriage with him... about the rituals, singing and dancing, teasing, secretly talking to each other... but this sudden development had made her go numb.
Sameer was nervously waiting, "Naina? Kuch bolo, please."
She swallowed, "Sam... Sameer, yeh kaise ho sakta hai? Chachaji ko kya kahenge? Matlab unhe kaisa lagega yeh sab sunke? Aur abhi toh hamein wapas Mumbai jana hai... ek saal baaki hai college ka... fir kaise?"
"Yeh shaadi hum sirf isliye karenge jisse woh meri zindagi pe apna haq jamane ki koshish na karein... aur kisi ko batayenge bhi nahi... wapas college jakar sab kuch waisa hi rahega jaisa ab tak tha... aur agle saal jab hum yahan ayenge toh sahi tareeke se shaadi karke tumhe apne ghar lekar aunga." He tried to answer her apprehensions.
"Pata nahi, Sameer... mujhe dar lag raha hai... abhi abhi toh maine ghar mein bataya hai... aur abhi hi shaadi ki baat... chachaji ko aisa na lage ki humne isiliye unhe apne baare mein bataya hai." Naina was scared now.
