Kuchh Ankahi Baatein

Beta

In night, Sameer called Naina and after their lovey dovey talks he asked, "Naina kal tum aur Preeti thodi der ke liye ghar aa sakti ho.. voh Deepika bohot naraaz hai Rohan aur mujhse kyunki usako chhod kar hum log akele ruk gaye the farmhouse par.." she laughed and said, "Sameer tum bhi na... kitni pyaari hai voh aur usse naraaz kar diya.. manana chahiye tha na." he smirks mischievously and said, "ab kya karein apne bhai par gayi hai... jaise mera dil tumhare bina nahin manta vaise hi usko bhi sirf tum hi chahiye ho.. jab se tum mili ho hamari toh kahin ginti hi nahin hai.." they laughed and she agreed to come tomorrow with Preeti... he insist to come at home to pick her up, "ab toh officially ghar aakar tumhein lekar ja sakta hun... koi inkaar bhi nahin karega, aakhir damaad hun mein uss ghar ka...." he laughed raising his imaginary collar.. they talk some more time and wish each other, "good night & I Love You"...

Next morning Naina woke up with Preeti and informed about that they have to go Maheshwari house to meet Deepika... Preeti said, "oh no... mujhe toh aaj Swati ke saath boutique jaana tha... koi bada order milne wala hai toh ussi ke liye designs discuss karne the... ek kaam kar tu chali ja mein thodi der mein aa jaaungi..." Naina got nervous, "nahin Preeti, tere bina nahin... hum saath hi chalenge.." Bela came to wake them up and said, "arey toh kya hua beta.. ab ghar hai tera voh... har waqt Preeti toh saath nahin rah sakti na.. tu chali ja na damaad ji ke saath, yeh thodi der mein aa jaayegi.. aise daregi toh kaise chalega.." she consoles her and they both gets ready to go ...

Sameer reached to pick up Naina and Preeti... entered and take blessing from Phulla Bua, Chachaji and Chachiji... Arjun came and hugged him tightly... Preeti informed to meet them later by noon time and left for boutique... Chachiji serves him tea with snacks, "are damaad ji, kuchh toh khaaiye".. he chocked and coughed badly when she starts rubbing his back instantly getting worried for him... he gets relaxed in a minute and looked at him with misty eyes... he holds her hand and make her sit next to him, "ek baat puchhu Chachiji, aapko meri itni chinta kyun huyi, jab mujhe khaansi aayi... bataaiye na" she gets hesitated, "yeh kaisa sawaal hai.. aap toh mere bete jaise ho na... mere liye jaise yeh chaaro vaise hi aap aur Rohan ho..."

Sameer smiled, "bete jaisa nahin Chachiji... mein aapka beta hi hun, tabhi toh meri jara si bhi takleef aapse dekhi nahin gayi... toh aaj ke baad aap mujhe damaadji nahin beta hi kahoge... aur usase bhi achchha hoga agar aap mujhe mere naam se pukaro, jaise meri mummy bulati hai... mujhe lagega yeh mera hi ghar hai, koi paraaya nahin".... her eyes got misty and she cupped his face in her hand, "ab samajh aaya ki Preeti ke papa tumhari itani taarif kyun karte hai... tum laakhon mein nahin karoro mein ek ho damaaaa... nahin nahin Sameer" she turned to Buaji happily, "dekha Buaji aise hi sab kehte hai ki mera koi beta nahin hai... ab hai na mere paas bhi mera apna beta... aur voh bhi itna pyaara aur dil ka saaf..." she kissed on his forehead and hugged him...

Naina standing there keeping her hand on his waist showing fake anger, "aur mein... mujhe toh aap bhool hi gaye... matlab beta mili toh beti gaayab.... dekha Chachaji...mere toh sirf aap ho.." Anand smiled and hugged her from side.. "tum donon hi hamare bachche ho.. na koi jyaada, na koi kam"... they all laughed.. Phulla bua's eyes got misty seeing all the bonding they all sharing, thinking, "aaj ki duniya mein bhi aise ladke hote hai... bhagwan ka laakh laakh shukra hai jo meri Gudiya ko itna pyaar karne wala samajhdaar ladka mila hai... varna uss Beena ne toh koi kasar nahin chhodi thi iski zindagi barbaad karne ki"...

Then only Taiji entered shouting loudly, "O Bai... ab koi toh chai pila do... subah se sar phata ja raha hai... itna kaam kiya kal sagaai mein ki meri toh kamar hi toot gayi...." she stopped seeing Sameer sitting there and changed her tone, "arey beta tum yahaan... voh bhi subah subah... sab theek toh hai na... kahin sagaai toh nahin tod rahe.... mujhe toh chinta hi lagi rahti hai iss ladki ki... pata nahin kya likha hai iski kismat mein..."
