The security let them enter inside, and everyone sadly went back to their respective rooms. Sameer looked at himself in the mirror, and asked angrily - "Why can't you hate that selfish girl Sameer? What was the need to behave like a stupid when she fainted down, nobody in this world could be dumb as much as you...She dumped you like a wasted piece of paper, she didn't cared once before walking away from your life. How can you feel concerned for her, when that heartless girl didn't ever think about you and your true feelings."


"She always gave importance to herself, her studies, her dreams, her career. There was never ME...never US, it was always HER, I won't even talk with her now, let her try. She will give up very soon." Sameer said with rage blazing in his voice, and hurled away the comb, and perfume.


He frustratingly laid his body on the bed, and tried to draw his attention to some good things.


โ€ข Naina was thinking only about Sameer, the way he panicked when she closed her eyes, gently kissed her on her forehead, hugged her tightly as if afraid to lose her. She can't stop herself from smiling like an idiot. Although the experience of the haunting house was perilous, the memories with the Love of her Life were beautiful. She quickly wore a cherry red satin night suit, and stood in front of the mirror, to comb her silky hair, each wave of her tresses reminding her of Sameer. He always praised her for having such naturally shining hair. He always used to play with her tendrils. A lazy smile lingered on her lips, and she rolled her hair into a messy bun, and stared at herself nervously.


"I have only one day to spend with you, after that I don't know how I will manage to meet you, but hopefully one day I will make a special place for myself in your heart. I won't let you hate me, I will do anything to prove that nobody can love you more than me. I was silly that time to blame you, but now that silly girl has changed. She will not let any person snatch her MAN from her. I Love You So Much My Sameer." Naina said with craziness in her voice for Sameer, and closed her eyes with contentment. Tomorrow She will try to spend extra time with him, and would try to make him realise that Her love is true for him, her feelings aren't fake, she has changed, she won't leave him alone instead She will hold his hand with a smile and would encourage him, whenever he will feel low and lonely.


โ€ข Next Day the entire hotel was decorated like a bride, and faint shades of lights were hanging at each corner. Karan was getting ready in his room, when Altamash and Sameer entered inside, but not before taking his permission, and Karan asked them with a smile while buttoning up his royal blue sherwani - "What are you guys doing here?"


"Can't we come to see the groom?" Altamash said mischievously.


"Of course you can, but your facial expression tells another story." Karan replied with a smirk, and raised up the glassy bottle of perfume.


"Ummm you know I heard Riya was saying to Naina that they're going to keep a syringe under the bed sheet. They're planning to ruin your first night." Altamash said with a suspenseful face, and Karan looked at him with a chuckle, and spoke - "You're saying as if me and Kajal are going to do this all for the first time."


"I know that...but I don't want you to get trapped in their plan." He spoke like a baby, and Sameer disagreed with him - "If they get happy by doing this, then let them do, why are you getting so irritated?"


"Because Riya was saying that she will spread itching powder on the bed as well, so that Karan spends his whole night itching his body...they're doing this all for their own fun. They want to annoy us." Altamash said with a grumpy face, and Karan rolled his eyes, and spoke as a matter of fact - "You are crazy Altamash...how can you believe them so easily? They are just trying to fool you. I am sure, don't think too much...and Riya is my only sister-in-law, if she wants to have some fun with me, then let her have. I don't have any problem with this."


"But I have...they will mock us, before She can execute her plan, I will have to do something." Altamash was behaving like a kg student, and said with an infuriated face.


"Stop behaving like a kid, let them do whatever they want, after all being my sister-in-law it is her legal right to tease her brother-in-law." Karan said with a bright smile, but Altamash was determined to spoil Riya's plan, if they succeed in annoying their bestfriend, then their reputation will get jeopardized.


"True." Sameer uttered with a small smile, and wondered for a moment what if he would get married to Naina? She doesn't have any sister, who will tease him then?? He shook his head in disbelief, and murmured - "What the hell is wrong with me? me and Naina, as a husband and wife? Never...it's never going to happen."


Karan was ready in a deep blue heavy sherwani, and the golden patiala style pants were looking perfect with the upper outfit. Sameer patted his back in a friendly manner, and said with a painful smile - "At least someone's love story has a good ending."


"Yours will also have a happy ending. Don't worry, your brother's blessing is with you." Karan spoke with a genuine smile, and hugged him warmly for a second.


"Ok the environment is becoming quite sentimental, let's go downstairs." Altamash gently wiped away his teardrop, and they both nodded their heads in yes.


The mandap was set up in the middle, and it had a beautiful castle look. Karan settled himself on the plain chair, which had a comfortable cushion attached to it. He was waiting for his bride to come and fascinate him again, just like the way She did to him when they met each other for the first time at a business party. He still can't forget that day, when his eyes crashed with hers, and his heart decided to make her his wife by hook or crook. After that day, there was no day when he didn't miss her, or thought of her pretty smile. They started talking with each other often, hence he asked her to share her number with him. It was such a stupid way to make a unknown girl feel comfortable with him, but then He didn't know how should he approach her for a friendship. Thankfully Kajal didn't mind sharing her number, and later when they officially declared their relationship. She told him that she also felt an instant connection with him, it was love at first sight from both sides.


Soon his wait was over, when he saw his beautiful wife alighting down the staircase carefully, hence her red designer lehenga seemed so heavy, there were four girls who held one plain dupatta above her head as a part of tradition. Naina and Riya were holding the cloth with an emotional smile on their face, they were so happy for Kajal for getting married to her First Love.


"Banno re banno meri chali sasural ko...Ankhiyo me paani de gayi. Dua me meethi gud dhani le gayi."


Sameer accidentally looked back at his girl, who looked heavenly stunning in the light shade of baby pink lehenga, and deep neck silver blouse, one plain yet beautiful dupatta was secured on her shoulder, and her hair was styled in a cascading waterfall braid. He was unable to take his eyes off her pulchritudinous face, her lips were curled into a gracious smile, and her colourful eyelashes were flickering like a twinkling star. Naina also stared at him for a moment, and needless to say why her cheeks switched into a faint shade of strawberry red. She was blushing, sensing his intense gaze scrutinizing her.


Altamash was also shamelessly staring at Riya, who looked like a divine in the maroon lehenga, her face was gleaming like a real diamond, and her shy smile was the evident that She has already noticed him ogling at her with a speechless expression on his face.


Kajal was lovingly looking at Karan, who was smiling emotionally at her. She can understand his situation as he made a lot of efforts to convince her parents, they were against their Marriage. Because his father was into politics, and Kajal's father didn't wanted his daughter to marry into such a family where She would be always surrounded by guards, where her life will always be in danger, hence She would be a wife of a renowned Politician Karan Rajput, but seeing Karan's determination, and true love for his daughter, her father couldn't stop himself from agreeing for their marriage. Karan was a real gentleman, he never made her feel uncomfortable with his presence, never forced her for something which She couldn't do. She always used to think that children of politicians might be spoiled brat, hence they receive all the facilities and services at just one gesture. But Karan changed her perspective, he lives his life like a normal human, he doesn't take advantage of being a Politician, until it's not necessary.


"Haaye...Banno re banno meri chali sasural ko. Ankhiyo me paani de gayi. Dua me meethi gud dhani le gayi."


They smiled looking at each other, and the media people were engrossed in capturing their best pictures to make a spicy headline for their news channel. Sameer and Altamash were finding it quite difficult to keep their eyes away from their beautiful girls, they knew reporters were searching for a chance to make breaking news, they wouldn't leave them if mistakenly they would find them staring at Naina and Riya. Better they don't invite any unnecessary controversies and drama in their peaceful life.


Karan stood up and gently held Kajal's hand, and welcomed her inside the mandap with a sweet smile, showers of soft flowers were done upon them, and everyone adored them when Karan placed a light kiss on her forehead. They were looking so perfect and madly in love couple, even after countless hurdles and difficulties, today they are getting married to each other. What could be more blissful than seeing your first love becoming yours officially?


"Re kabira maan ja, re fakira yoon na jaa...Aaja tujh ko pukarein teri parchaiyaan."


Suddenly Naina felt her heart drowning in the tank of guilt, had she would have understood Sameer's love and valued his feelings, then they would have been living a beautiful life together as a Husband and Wife.


Her decorated eyes welled with a coating of fresh tears, her Kajal smudged slightly, and She gently dabbed the handkerchief on her face, she was looking at Sameer, who seemed to be disturbed about something, when suddenly She noticed him glaring at reporters. Oh they're a pain in ass for famous people, she thought with a sad face, and shifted her attention to the Varmala Ceremony.


Karan and Kajal exchanged the garlands with a never ending smile playing on their lips, and everyone clapped for them enthusiastically.


Altamash daringly glanced at Riya, only to find her giggling with her friends. She must be talking about spoiling Karan's first night, after all she has to prove that boys are fools and girls are smarter than them. But he won't let her get successful in her plan, he will do something before she works on her idea, but besides this She was looking so cute while laughing carelessly, he doesn't know why he feels butterflies in his stomach whenever he sees her. He doesn't love her, but somewhere he is aware of his growing attraction towards this silly girl.


The rituals were being followed by elders, and Kajal's father placed Kajal's hand above Karan's palm, and looked at him with worries in his eyes. Karan just blinked his eyes, trying to assure him that he would take care of his daughter more than himself. Everything was making Naina feel emotional, she wasn't able to control her flowing tears, the glint in their eyes for getting tied in this sacred relationship was indescribable. They were continuously looking at each other, with a smile accompanying their faces.


Sameer was observing that Naina was crying, her makeup was washed away and She was still looking beautiful. His heart urged him to yell at her, and tell her to stop weeping like a child, but he couldn't, he refrained himself from doing this stupidity in front of everyone.


Altamash badly wanted to drag Riya with him, and ask her clearly what she was planning, but the paparazzi's eyes on him were stopping him every time.


Karan and Kajal stood up to take seven rounds around the holy fire, and Naina was biting her lower lip harshly to hold on her tears, which were flowing like a waterfall. She glanced at Sameer, who was unfortunately scrutinizing her with dangerous eyes. She gulped down, and quickly looked away.


The marriage was completed, and Karan happily kissed his wife for coming into his life and making him realise the importance of True Love. They seemed to be lost in their own world of happiness, and Sameer smiled slowly, wondering when he would get this opportunity with his girl? He wants to scream on the top of his voice that He is in love with Naina, he can't live without her, but these all seem like a dream, which Naina broke years ago.


Riya rushed and hugged her beloved sister tightly, and everyone saw a Emotional Kajal for the first time, she is a epitome of a brave woman, she never waste a single drop of tear for any reason, but today She broke down, she cried silently holding her young immature sister closely to her chest. No matter what, when a girl gets married, be it with her love or a stranger, she feels sudden loneliness in her heart. She doesn't feel like going away from her family, who served immense love and happiness on her plate. Kajal was unable to hold on to her tears. Karan gently placed his hand on her shoulder to give her physical support, and Naina also came to hug her, and wish her a Happy Married Life.


Altamash and Sameer also hugged Karan, and felt genuinely happy for him. They know how much he has struggled to win Kajal's father's heart, this defines how deeply he is in love with Kajal, that he could tackle anyone to get her in his life.


"Congratulations Yaara for officially spoiling your life." Altamash said with a sweet smile.


"Soon he will be wishing you the same. My Alma." Riya though was crying, she managed to reply to him with a lopsided smile.


"Thank You...I will definitely invite you to my wedding." He uttered annoyingly.


"Of course you have to, after all a wedding without a bride would be incomplete. Right?" Riya said in a seductive voice, and Altamash looked at her angrily.


"Yeah of course, if you wouldn't decorate my bride, then how would she come down?" He teased her with his signature smirk, and She stared at him with an inducing smile, and said in a low voice - "Your bride doesn't need any decoration on her face. She is naturally very very very very very very very beautiful."


"Ummm I guess you both should avoid talking about romantic things publicly." Karan informed them, as soon as he saw reporters near them.


"Yeah I think Karan Jiju is right, we shouldn't talk, we should declare ourselves as a couple by our actions." Riya said with an evergreen irritating smile, and Altamash tried very hard to keep his anger under control.


"Riyaaaaaa." Kajal called her name in a stern voice.


"Fine...I wasn't serious." Riya surrendered herself by making a bad face.


โ€ข Naina was sitting in the lawn, alone, to find some peace and comfort. She has been crying continuously ever since she saw Kajal dolled up in a beautiful bridal lehenga. She was trying her best to smile and show everyone that she is fine, but she wasn't. She wanted a shoulder where she could cry senselessly, without any fear of getting judged. The salty warm tears were entering inside her mouth without her consent, but She couldn't help. She just wants someone right now who can sit with her, even if that person wouldn't utter a word. She wouldn't mind.


"You were looking like a witch in the whole wedding." A masculine voice drew her attention, and Naina looked back to find Sameer sitting beside her, maintaining a good distance between them.


"You...you here?" She asked him shockingly.


"No...my ghost is talking with you." He replied to her annoyingly.


The mention of Ghost again sent shivers in Naina's body, and Sameer realised that soon, so He said softly - "Of course I am here."


"Why?" She asked him in a low voice.


"Because I don't want you to regret in future at seeing your horrible pictures, wash your face, and come inside." Sameer said with calmness in his voice, and Naina looked at him like a lost baby.


"I don't want to go anywhere leaving you." She sat deadly closer to him, and kept her head on his chest, to hide her destroyed face.


"What...what are you doing?" He asked her with a shocked face.


"Please don't push me away because of my old mistakes. Sameer, let me stay closer to you just for a few minutes." Naina requested him in a soft voice, and Sameer didn't have the heart to refuse her.


As a human he can do this.


"Why were you crying?" He asked her after a minute of silence.


"You know the reason." She replied with heaviness in her tone.


"What? I don't know." He said cluelessly.


"I was crying because I also want to have a dream wedding like Kajal Di and Karan Jiju. I also want to wear a Sabyasachi Lehenga. I also want my groom to become emotional at seeing me as his bride." Naina replied to him in a tender voice, and Sameer was stunned for a moment.


Was She talking about them?


"Ummm...don't worry your groom will surely cry at seeing his life destroyer coming towards him with a pretty smile." Sameer joked to change her mood, but instead received a death glare from her.


"You won't get happy?" She asked him like a child.


"For what?" He asked her with a confused face.


"At seeing me as your bride." She said innocently, and looked at him with a small smile.


"Don't daydream Naina." He chuckled without any emotion.


"Dreams come true." She said with confidence in her eyes.


"This won't come true." Sameer spoke in a stern voice.


"It will...I will fulfill this dream of mine." Naina said smilingly.


"I am going." He was about to get up, but She held his hand gently, and asked him - "Please sit with me for some more time, I am feeling alone."


"None of my concern." Sameer said rudely, and freed his hand from her loose grip.


"Please Sameer." Naina politely asked him.


"No." He stayed adamant on his decision.


"Kya main ab tumhe itni chubti hoon ki tumhe mere saath do pal baithna bhi manzur nahi hai. Sameer?" She asked him with pain in her puffy eyes, and He had no answer for the first time.


"You're emotionally blackmailing me now." Sameer raised his tone, which flinched her heart for a moment.


"Ok...I won't force you. Go." Naina said with a glimpse of teardrop in her eye.


"Say?" He uttered without any interest, while sitting again beside her.


"What?" She asked him in confusion.


"Whatever you want." He said softly.


"I Love You." Naina confessed her love out of the blue, which brought awkwardness between them.


"Anything else?" Sameer looked at her with a bored expression.


"I don't want to live without you, though we were staying away from each other for years, but now I really want you in my life. Sameer." She said with genuineness in her eyes.


"Just because I am a successful cricketer?" He chuckled weakly.


"No, because I want to repair our weak bond and make it stronger than ever." She spoke in a soft voice, and touched his cheek with hesitance in her heart.


"It's too late now." Sameer said with grief in his voice.


"I know...but please consider this as my last mistake, give me one chance." Naina asked him with a ray of hope illuminating in her nervous eyes.


"Even if I want to give you one chance. Naina, by forgetting everything. I can't. You know why? Because then you won't realise the importance of a relationship, you will think that it is very easy to get someone back in your life just by apologising to them." He said as a matter of fact, which left a sharp pain in her heart.


"It's very difficult to gain someone's trust again. Naina, if I will forgive you so easily, you won't understand how excruciating it had been for me to live without you, how I spent my nights thinking about you and our beautiful memories." Sameer said further with huskiness in his tone, and Naina couldn't say anything, as he was absolutely right.


"I can understand you, Sameer...sorry for everything, but." Naina tried speaking, but He cut her in between, and said in a firm voice - "No buts and ifs, I can't forgive you, and that's my final decision."


There was a dead silence between them for five minutes, before She asked him in a soft voice - "Can we forget everything just for today, and meet each other at Marine Drive? I want to live this beautiful day with you, please please please don't refuse."


"Have you gone mad? Everyone will come rushing to me, if I come to meet you at such a crowded place." Sameer scolded her for demanding such a stupid thing.


"You can cover your face, wear glasses or anything you like, trust me. No one will recognise you, and if you want we can go there after 2 or 3 am. At that time no one will be there, and even if someone will be then it's ok, you just hide your face from a mask or a shawl. I also do this often, when I feel I am not safe." Naina suggested him with a small smile.


"I know this, but please don't call my name aloud if you find people roaming there." He requested her with an annoyed face, and She nodded her head in agreement.


"So you will come?" She asked him excitedly.


"Is there any other option? I am not heartless like you, even if I want to refuse you...I couldn't, because my kind heart doesn't allow me to disappoint a selfish girl like you." Sameer said arrogantly, and Naina looked at him with innocence on her face, his rudeness is justified, she doesn't have any problem.


"To be honest, I was also planning to visit Marine Drive, hence it has been ages since I went there. So." He tried to sound soft, but there was still firmness in his voice.


"Good." Naina uttered with a smile.


"Do you remember? When we were watching the Vivah movie, I got damn emotional seeing Shahid's love for Amrita. It left me in uncontrollable tears, that scene when he filled her empty hairline from the auspicious red powder, in the hospital. I cried even more terribly, he didn't leave her even after seeing her in such a condition. That's really true love." She said with an emotional smile, while keeping her head on his shoulder, and holding his hand gently.


"Do you remember what I told you at that time?" Sameer asked her with a mysterious smile, and Naina looked at him blankly.


"I told you that like Shahid, even your Sameer won't leave you alone, let there be thousands of scars on your beautiful face, I will still love you, because I fell in love with your kind heart, not for your exquisite face." He said in a gentle voice, and rubbed his other hand on her cold fingers.


"My promises were never fake, unlike you." He spoke with sharpness in his tone.


โ€ข Altamash was looking for a chance to have a conversation with Riya, and finally he got that chance when he saw her going inside her room to get something for her sister. He looked at everyone, especially to the reporters, and they were engrossed in disturbing the newly wedded couple, so He followed Riya, and as soon as She entered her room, he instantly locked the door, making her shocked.


"O my god...I turned a sane cricketer into an obsessive stalker." Riya said with an amused smile, and went to fetch the gift.


Altamash roughly held her hand, and asked her grumpily - "What do you think, you will succeed in annoying our best friend?"


She looked at him with a question in her eyes, and He said - "you were planning to ruin Karan's first night, weren't you?"


"What? Are you crazy?" Riya exclaimed while laughing loudly.


"Stop laughing...I eavesdrop on your conversation with Naina and some other girls." Altamash said proudly, and She gave him an unbelievable look.


"Yeh kya tumhari mohalle wali auntiyo jaisi aadat hai...hum ladkiyo ki baat sunne ki?" Riya mocked him, and laughed wholeheartedly.


He aggressively pulled her closer to him, to stop her laughing, and now She was looking at him like an innocent child. He breathed heavily, and said in a loud voice - "Don't change the topic. Riya."


"Ok...but why are you shouting at me? I didn't plan anything." She uttered in a low voice, feeling scared of his anger now.


"Liar." Altamash said angrily.


"I am not...and care to tell me why you are getting aggressive, even if I planned to tease my brother-in-law?" Riya asked him courageously, and looked at him with a mischievous smile.


"Because you said boys are fools, they get trapped easily." He said furiously, and She shook her head in disbelief.


"Yes obviously...boys are really stupid compare to girls." Riya intentionally provokes him with a nonchalant smile.


"We are not." Altamash tried to keep his voice low.


"You are...and nobody can change this fact." She said carelessly.


"I can." He challenged her with a smirk.


"Oh really? But sorry to say I am not interested." Riya slightly pushed him away, and turned to go, but Altamash's husky voice jolted her - "Not even if I will say, I Love You Riya?"


She looked at him with a blank face for a moment, and asked him to reconfirm - "Rrr...Really?"


He nodded his head in yes, and said with sincerity - "I don't know when I fell in love with you. Riya, but genuinely saying you have changed my life. I feel enthusiastic every-time I see your beautiful face."


Riya had tears in her eyes, and She quickly hugged him tightly while saying - "Thank You so much Alma for accepting me in your life, I couldn't describe in words how happy I am feeling right now."


"Now who is behaving like a stupid?" Altamash said with an evil smirk on his face, and Riya broke the hug, and looked at him confusingly.


"I trapped you by confessing my love, so now its prove girls are more stupid than us." He spoke smilingly, and She looked at him disappointedly.


Does he feel her love is some kind of joke?


"That's why I never wanted to fall in love with anyone, because nowadays there's no value of true love. Do you think this will make me smile or laugh? I literally believed you when you confessed your love, I felt your words were genuine...but how can I forget that you only hate me." Riya shouted at him with tears in her eyes, and Altamash felt extreme guilt in his heart.


"Yes...I am a mess. But I have a heart too. Yes...I am immature. But I have got some feelings too. Yes...I am a little crazy. But I too care. Yes...I smile. But I silently cry too. People call me Shameless, Characterless, and many bad words when I behave with them extra friendly, but I can't change myself, I have been like this since my childhood. I love talking shit because I don't want to make my life boring by behaving like a mature person. I want to stay like a careless child, who can do and say whatever is there inside her heart...who can live her life peacefully without any stress and pain. I don't like serious talks but that doesn't mean I am a kid, and I don't have any knowledge...or I have some mental illness. I am completely fine and stable, I know you also find my behaviour annoying. But God created me like this only, and I am not gonna change myself for anyone. Be it my love, my parents, or this so-called society." She poured out her frustration on him with fury in her watery eyes, and Altamash was stunned. He never thought a bubbly and innocent girl Riya could also have a dangerous side. But whatever it is her words were genuine and heart breaking.


"I am sorry. Riya, I didn't mean to hurt you." Altamash apologized to her with sincerity in his voice.


"Keep your sorry to yourself, you also know, I have been enduring your anger, your rudeness, your taunts calmly since the first day, because I really love you very much, and I never felt this for anyone. I will forgive you even for this stupid prank, but please never play with anyone's feelings. It really hurts." She said in a heavy voice, and harshly wiping her tears. She stormed out of the room, leaving a frustrated Altamash.


"For the first time in my life I made a girl cry because of me. How can I play such a prank with her, irrespective of knowing how much she loves me? Allah...please give me a way to mend my mistake." He murmured in a low voice, and clutched his silky hair out of extreme anger.
