Kuchh Ankahi Baatein

Kabiliyat

Weeks passed and all back to their normal routine with increasing closeness between love birds... not only Samaina, but Pandit & Priya starts spending much time together whereas Rohan and Preeti fights more and more on most silly topics but always stayed together, teasing each other, leaving no chance to irritate each other.... Munna Swati also got lot of time together and as being the only formal couple in the group, no one disturbs them much also.... giving them privacy...... but keep on teasing them as and when...

One day class was going on when peon enters and gave a note to JBR and left...

JBR looking at Naina, "Naina, Principal is calling you right now... go and meet her..."

Everyone got shocked and surprised... Sameer looked at her to offer accompany her but after assuring him that she will manage alone she went...

After lecture, they all were waited for her... she came after some time and all enquired her for this sudden call...

Naina replied casually, "arey kuchh nahin, voh actually... haan voh mera article iss month ki college magazine mein select hua hai...bas wahi batane ke liye bulaya tha..."

All congratulate her but somehow Sameer was not convinced with the reason... he asked them all to go to canteen and soon they will join them....

Naina tried avoiding his pierce gaze, "Sameer chalo na hum bhi chalte hai.. sab intzaar kar rahe honge... mujhe bhi bhukh lagi hai..."

Sameer held her wrist, "Naina ek minute ruko, pehle batao kya huaa hai.... jab se Principal se milkar aayi ho, thodi pareshaan lag rahi ho... kuchh kaha kya madam ne..."

Naina tried best to hide her emotions but not possible in front of Sameer, he can read her face easily... finally she spoke, "voh actually Sameer, vahaan hamare college ki magazine jis publication house mein publish hoti hai usake editor aaye huye the, mujhse milne.... unhone mere saare article pade hai jo maine abhi tak college magazine ke liye likhe the..."

Sameer asked surprisingly, "toh... voh kuchh kah rahe the kya ... usmein itni pareshaani vali kya baat hai"

Naina, "actually voh chahte hai ki mein unki weekly magazine mein bhi articles diya karun... koi fixed topic nahin hai... I mean for all kind of social topics, awareness, women welfare, child education and all... they like my thought process towards social issues"

Sameer exclaimed happily, "wow Naina... yeh toh bahut achchhi baat hai... congrats, I am really so much proud of you..."

Seeing her still standing all lost he asked, "par tum khush kyun nahin ho... I mean tumne toh kisi ko bataya bhi nahin... is mein chhupane ki kya baat hai..."

She replied hesitantly, "dekho pehle tum promise karo ki tum gussa nahin karoge aur dhyan se meri baat sunoge" he nodded and assure her, she continued, "actually mujhe nahin lagtaa ki mein yeh sab kar paaungi... it's such a big responsibility, I mean college ki magazine mein article dena alag baat hai par weekly magazine mein likhna... mujhse nahin hoga..."

Sameer calmly took her hand in his hand and makes her sit on chair... knowing what all making her so nervous he smiled softly, "tumne socha hai Naina ki jab unhein tumhari kabiliyat par vishwas hai to tumhein khud par kyun nahin hai... unhone yeh opportunity tumhe kuchh soch samajh kar hi offer ki hogi na... varna kitne students hai jo college ki magazine mein article likhte hai, par kya kabhi bhi unhone kisi aur ko yeh mauka diya... nahin na... tumhein diya kyunki tum isake kaabil ho, tum mein hai voh saari khoobiyaan..."

Naina still not convinced, "pata nahin par Sameer agar mein nahin kar paayi toh... sabki ummiden toot jayegi... mujhse nahin ho payega shayad..."

Sameer smiled and said, "theek hai khud par nahin na sahi, mujh par to vishwas karti ho na... tum jaanti ho na ki mein tumse kabhi jhuth nahin bolunga aur na hi kabhi tumhein koi takleef hone dunga..."

She nodded her head having full trust on him... he smiled holding her hand, "toh bas aaj mere iss vishwas ke dum par, hamari dosti ke maan par hi tum haan kah do... mein tumhein kabhi haarne nahin doonga... waada..."

Seeing so much trust in his eyes, she feels a kind of confidence build up... she smiled asking, "par tumhein itna vishwas kyun hai mujhpar..."

Sameer, "Naina vishwas kah kar nahin hota, voh toh bas ho jata hai... aur tum maano ya na maano tum par toh koi bhi aankh bandh kar ke vishwas kar lega, tum har lihaaz se iske laayak ho... shayad tum nahin jaanti lekin meri yeh dost har baat mein topper hai... ek dum perfect jiska koi jawaab nahin..." he laughed pulling her nose playfully...

Naina stands up getting his assurance and forward her hand to him, "chalo phir unhein haan kah kar aate hai, shayad abhi Principal room mein hi honge... ab apne dost ki baat aur uska bharosa mein kaise tod sakti hoon..."

He smiled broadly and hold her hand... they both went to Principal room where Naina agreed on giving her article weekly to publication house and editor assured that he will soon prepare the contract and decide the appropriate remuneration for her too......

Later they reached canteen and informed all this to their gang who becomes so much happy on her achievement and girls hug her tightly....

Preeti pulled her in a tight hug excitedly, "sach Naina, aaj mein bahut khush hun tere liye... tune aaj khud se itna bada decision liya... I am so happy for you.."

Naina looked fondly at Sameer and said, "yeh confidence to mujh mein Sameer ki wajah se aaya hai, thanks Sameer mujhe khud se milwane ke liye, khud pe vishwaas karaane ke liye"

Sameer smiled and offered a party from his side to celebrate this day... they all enjoyed the party...

Reaching home Preeti excitedly informed to Anand Bela who feels proud on their little girl's big achievement and blessed her whole heartedly...

In evening, Anand informed to all about this new opportunity of Naina, which was again not appreciated by their elders, with the orthodox thinking, who never wants to appreciate a girls efforts to raise her name in society...

Tauji scold, "ab ye din dekhne padenge ki ghar ki ladkiyaan, baahar jaakar kaam karengi... Anand kuchh toh lihaaj karo bujurgo ka... kya munh dikhayenge unhein..."

Taiji taunts: O Bai, maine toh pehle hi kaha tha ki yeh sab naatak hai... iska itna kharcha jo uthana pad raha hai tum logo ko... toh kyun college bheja isako... ab yeh apni kamaai se tumhara ghar chalayegi kya..."

Anand tried to make them understand, "bhai sahab, aap itane bade vakil hai, duniya bhar ke logon se milte hai, par aapki soch apne hi ghar ki beti ke liye itni chhoti kaise ho sakti hai... humein toh khush hona chahiye ki usse itna achchha mauka mila hai, apni Pratibha dikhane ka, usse nikharne ka... voh bhi bina kisi ki madad ke..."

Bela said proudly, "ji Bhabhiji, Naina mein itani khubiyaan hai ki jitnaa bhi bataaye kam padegi... aur aaj toh voh khubiyaan duniya ke saamne bhi aa gayi... poore college mein sirf hamari beti ko yeh mauka mila hai..."

Tauji shouts sternly, "bas bahu, yeh sab iss ghar mein nahin chalega.. usse keh do koi jarurat nahin hai yeh sab naatakbaji karne ki... college ki permission mili hai utnaa hi kaafi hai usake liye... agar tum logon se uska kharcha nahin uthaya jaata toh usey vaapas ghar par baitha do... kya karegi aakhir yeh sab padh likh kar..."

Anand replied firmly, "nahin bhai sahab, mein Naina ko ab pichhe hatne nahin dunga... aur maine toh usase contract bhi sign karwa diya hai... aap toh jante hi hai ki contract toda toh harjana dena padega" he assures Naina to keep quiet as these people can only understand the legal language...

Tauji angrily left with no option agreed, "toh theek hai bas iss saal ke liye karne do usake baad dekha jayega... par dhyaan rahe ki biradari mein yeh sab nahin pata chalna chahiye..." they both left after reprimand them to strictly hide her success from society....

But Anand assured her that he will always support her in all manner, and she can continue writing in magazine always...
