Imtehaan Pyaar Ki | Samaina ✓

Part 2

Sameer Maheshwari had always been the highly pampered kid due to being the youngest in the house. But this only led him to becoming a spoilt brat and nothing else. Being extremely handsome, his features resembling Salman Khan, Sameer was easily the dream boy of every girl. His school and college life went mostly in sports, dating and partying. Despite repeated requests, warnings and even ultimatums by his mother, he did not change one bit.

His father and brother loved him too much and pampered him a lot. They never objected to any of his demands. Whenever Vishakha would try to tell them what they were doing is wrong, they just brushed it off saying this life worth of riches were so that he could utilise them. Vishakha soon gave up trying to explain because she knew, there wasn't any point in it.

All his time would go in partying and enjoying with his friends and he would return late at night, drunk! Many a times, he wouldn't return home itself! But everything changed the day he had returned home to take something and found that his mother had sprained her leg. When she requested him to take the carrier for the kids, he couldn't refuse and thought to just give the carrier and leave immediately to Munna's house. But the fated collision between them and her one sight had left him enraptured! He was captivated by her and wanted to just keep looking at her, but she had run away when she was called by someone from within. He stepped out of the orphanage and instead of heading towards Munna's house, he drove to the riverside.

Sitting on the rock by the river, he tried to analyse his feelings because he couldn't quite comprehend them. He had felt attraction before and had also gotten intimate with a few women he had dated. He has had so many so-called girlfriends but none gave him the feel she did today! It wasn't attraction, he knew. He wasn't attracted towards her body because he had seen nothing but her alluring face. So what was it? He pondered over it and his heart gave him just one answer- it was love!

He couldn't believe it at first so he decided to confirm his feelings. He visited the orphanage the very next day. She was sitting with a few kids and teaching them something from the book. He leaned against his bike and kept watching her. The serene smile on her face teaching the children brought a smile on his face as well. And when she, sensing someone's gaze on her, looked up and their eyes met, yet again the surroundings stood frozen for them! A child shaking her hand brought her out of the trance and her cheeks immediately coloured red. She attended to the kid but did keep glancing in his direction. When she was done, she slowly walked towards him. Her eyes were downcast and she was fidgeting with the ends of her dupatta.

"Ji, aap......" she said in her sweet voice.

"Main Sameer aur tum?"

"Aap Vishakha Maa ke bete hain?" she innocently asked.

His eyes widened and he asked

"Haan, tumhe kaise pata? Main orphanage mein aata nahi hoon aur yahan log bas Maa aur Bhai ko jaante hain. Phir?"

"Ji woh... Vishakha Maa ne mujhe bataya tha aapke baare mein."

"Tum unhe Maa kyun bulati ho?"

"Unhone mujhe maa ke jaisa pyaar diya na, isiliye." she said childishly.

He smiled at her childishness while she immediately lowered her eyes.

"Aap aise kyun dekhte hain mujhe?" she asked leaving him surprised because he dint expect direct questions from her.

Clearing his throat, he just said

"Maa ne tumhe mere baare mein kya-kya bataya?"

She immediately looked up into his eyes and said

"Ki aap bigde hue hain. Bilkul zimmedar nahi aur peete bhi hain."

His eyes immediately lowered due to embarrassment. He dint know what to tell her. For the first time in his life, he felt ashamed of himself.
