The ring ceremony was over, after Kajal and Karan exchanged the rings, and everyone clapped for them.


It was time for dinner now. There was private placement for Karan's friends, so that they don't feel awkward while eating, hence the eyes of reporters will be on them only. Sameer, Altamash, Karan, Kajal, Naina, and Riya all settled themselves on the comfortable chair, and as soon as Riya saw Altamash. She screamed - "Oh my god, someone please pinch me...my Alma is here."


"Who is Alma here? She must be saying ''Balma." Altamash said with a chuckle, but Riya shyly nodded her head in no, and spoke - "You can assume that as well, but I have given you this nickname. My Alma."


He choked on his water after knowing his nickname, and looked at the girl blushing like a bride. He eyed everyone, and they tried very hard to control their laughter.


"What kind of nickname have you given me? Alma? Seriously, this sounds like Hashim Amla. Huh." Altamash said annoyingly, and Riya replied to him like a four year old child - "You don't have the value of my feelings Alma, just for once look into my eyes, and feel the love I have for you since forever."


"Oh Allah where have you struck me, this girl is drunk for sure, who does behave like a baby amidst everyone?" Altamash mumbled in an irritated tone, and Riya was continuously staring at him, making it difficult for him to have his dinner peacefully.


Naina was innocently looking at Sameer, who was endeavouring to keep his eyes fixed on his plate. He knew she was staring at him, but he didn't want to look at her, and get lost in her beautiful brown eyes. He was nervously gobbling down the extra spicy noodles, when suddenly he started to cough loudly, grabbing everyone's attention. Altamash offered him a glass of water, and Sameer quickly gulped it down while breathing heavily. Naina almost stood up, but Riya held her hand, and looked at her with questions in her eyes.


"Are you fine?" Naina asked him with concern in her voice, and Sameer looked at her in frustration, and yelled at her - "How can I be fine, when you are around me like an annoying ghost."


Everyone was stunned, and Naina was on the verge of crying, her eyes were already shining with tears, the way Sameer shouted at her in front of everyone, she felt her heart breaking like a piece of a puzzle. Karan said to him in a stern voice - "What is this Sameer? We all know you are a very aggressive person, but that doesn't mean you will scold anyone without any reason. Naina was just asking you out of concern, what was the need to yell at her like this?"


"It's ok Karan jiju, he might be feeling uncomfortable because of me, so it's better I leave from here." Naina said with a small smile, which hid a thousand pain and feelings.


"Why will you go anywhere, Naina? You haven't done anything, maybe Sameer was feeling frustrated on some other thing, but he poured out his frustration on you. Chill, don't go. Ok." Riya stopped her by holding her hand firmly, and Naina looked at her helplessly.


"Please tell her Sorry on my behalf." Sameer whispered in Altamash's ear, and He glared at him angrily.


"Why should I apologise to her, when it's your mistake." Altamash said in a low voice, and Sameer sighed, and uttered without any emotion - "I Am Sorry Naina, I shouldn't have lost my temper like this on you."


"No problem." Naina smiled, and Altamash patted Sameer's back for accepting his mistake without showing Ego.


Everyone had their dinner, and As promised separate rooms were given to everyone, Naina's room was on the ground floor, and Sameer's room was on the first floor besides Altamash's room. The entire hotel was purchased by Karan's father, so everything was arranged there according to their guests' choice. Naina didn't have a heart to stay alone in the huge room, so She requested Riya if she could accompany her. Riya happily agreed to stay with her best friend, and both of them changed their heavy clothes and wore comfortable t-shirts and loose pants.


They decided to watch a movie, and Riya asked her friend while turning on the TV - "What is going on between you and that arrogant person? I mean Sameer."


"Nothing." Naina replied to her with an uncomfortable smile, and Riya chuckled, and slumped her body on the soft mattress, and said - "You can lie to the whole world, but not to me."


"I am not lying to anyone babe, believe me nothing is going on between us." Naina tried to assure her friend, who looked at her suspiciously, and said with annoyance in her tone - "As you say darling, and let me tell you something. I don't like that guy even a little bit, have you seen his face during the entire ceremony? He didn't smile even for a moment, he was just glaring at everyone as if they had stolen something very precious from him."


"Woh Aisa Hi Hai Yaar." Naina said with a lost smile, and Riya asked her in apprehension - "How do you know this?"


"You only told me that day, when we were watching the final." She somehow managed to fool Riya, and they started to watch "Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani."


The Manali Scene refreshed many beautiful memories in Naina's mind, and She was dreamily watching Bunny and His Naina successfully climbing the mountains, and reaching the flag. They look wonderful together, just like Her and Sameer.


Like Naina in the movie. She was also a nerd and the topper, while Sameer was a back bencher, but His love for her was loyal. He never looked at anyone else other than her, maybe that is why his eyes still always remain fixed on her. Naina sighed in disappointment, wondering why she abandoned him and his love? She should have respected his feelings attached to her, but she was foolish to neglect them.


"I sincerely wish to have a love story like Bunny and Naina." Riya said with a dreamy smile, while smiling looking at the tv screen.


"I had a more beautiful love story than Bunny and Naina, but sadly my heart or my fate didn't want a happy ending." Naina spoke with a painful smile, and Riya benevolently stared at her upset friend, and said - "I don't know what exactly happened between you guys, but I hope destiny brings you two together again, and this time please both of you don't make any foolish mistakes. It's very difficult to find true love in the era of Lust and Friends with Benefits. If that guy loved you genuinely...and it was your mistake behind your separation, then I want you to apologize to him, you cannot disrespect anyone's true love for anything."


"Should I apologise to him?" Naina asked herself with confusion in her voice, and Riya heard her words, so She said with a encouraging smile - "Yes you should, don't hesitate in accepting your mistake...There should be no space for Ego in between the true lovers, if you still have even a little bit feelings for him...then go and confess him everything. Don't delay yaar, you are lucky you had someone in your life, who was concerned for you more than his own life, who was there for you whenever you needed him, who was there to motivate you whenever you felt lack of confidence, who was there to love you like a crazy man. I didn't even have someone, to whom I can call my True Soulmate."


"You will find that person very soon, baby." Naina placed her hand on her face, and said with a sweet smile.


"Let's see." Riya chuckled, and shifted her attention to the movie.


ย  ย  ย ย  | โ€ข Next Day In Morning โ€ข |


There was an auspicious pooja, for which everyone was again decorated in beautiful clothes. Naina's eyes were looking for one special person, who stole her heart and never returned her back. Sameer refused to attend this event, hence Naina's presence was awakening his dead feelings again for her. He wanted to stay alone for some time, but God had some other plans.


"Where is Sameer?" Naina asked Karan in a worried tone, and He replied to her - "He refused to come, I don't know why."


"Can I go and ask him?" She said with a ray of hope twinkling in her eyes, and Karan looked at her surprisingly.


"No, you can't...Sameer doesn't allow anyone to come inside his room." Karan replied to her with a gloomy smile, and Naina asked him - "Not even to Altamash?"


"We guys are allowed, but outsiders are not." He said simply, and She murmured under her breath - "I am not any outsider for him."


"Kuch kaha tumne?" Karan asked her with a mischievous smile, and She slightly nodded her head in no.


"Tell me something, do you love him?" He looked at her Interestingly, and although she refused to accept her love for him. He noticed the tint of redness on her face.


"Ok I will do something, go and meet him." Karan patted her head in a brotherly way, and Naina smiled genuinely.


"Thank you so much jiju." She hugged him for always supporting her, and He said softly - "Anything for you...now go."


Naina nodded her head in yes, and looked around if anyone was watching her, but thankfully everyone was engrossed in talking. She quickly reached the door of his bedroom, and Altamash came and stood beside her with a smirk. She was confused as to why he came here, and was giving her such a look?


"Don't worry...I haven't come here to disturb you both. Karan told me you want to meet the lion, so I came to help you." Altamash said with a polite smile, and Naina sighed in relief.


Altamash knocked on the door, and Sameer screamed from inside - "Who's there?"


"Your lovely friend." Altamash replied to him with a sweet smile, and Sameer asked him - "What are you doing here?"


"First open the door buddy, I want to talk about something very important." Altamash tried to sound serious, but failed miserably. Sameer annoyingly opened the door, and as soon as he saw Naina standing there with a nervous smile. He asked her angrily - "Why have you come here?"


"Let me come inside." Naina said in a soft voice, but Sameer didn't budge even a little from his place.


"Why? I can't let any person invade my personal space...get lost right now, otherwise I will call the security guard." Sameer threatened her with a sharp look, and She spoke smilingly - "They won't be able to do anything, hence I have taken permission of Karan Jiju, and even your own friend Altamash came here to help me."


"Where is that idiot?" He screamed grumpily, and Naina said with a lopsided smile - "I don't know, but must say your friend is so smart. He knows how to give us some private time."


"You..." Sameer seethed in anger, and in the meantime. Naina sneaked inside his bedroom, and closed the door quickly.


He looked at her shockingly, wondering how she entered without his permission?


"Get out, otherwise I will lodge a complaint against you, for annoying me, and entering inside my bedroom without my permission." Sameer said with fire in his eyes, but Naina looked calm.


"Go...do whatever you want, but you know what? I still have those private pictures of us on my laptop. So if you call any security guard to throw me out of your room, then I will viral those photographs of us on social media...and then you know what will happen." Naina was smart enough to scare him, and shut his mouth.


"Also I will write that this man has taken advantage of my innocence. He betrayed me, broke my trust, please give me justice." She was just teasing him, but she didn't know what was going to happen with her next. Sameer roughly pulled her closer to him, and pinned her against the well built up wall. Naina gasped seeing his aggressive eyes torturing her nervous ones.


"Go and tell everyone that I have betrayed you, go and scream that Sameer Maheshwari has broken your trust and heart...but will you feel peace after accusing your Ex-Lover for such a nonsense reason? Will you be able to look at yourself in the mirror?? You are a Lawyer, people blindly trust you, you are taught to walk on a path of honesty, this fake mask of a liar woman doesn't suit a renowned lawyer like you. Miss.Naina." Sameer said with a heat of anger in his voice, and his breath was falling on her sweating skin. Naina was shocked after his statement, she wasn't able to look into his eyes. She was feeling guilty and embarrassed as well for threatening him. Although she was just joking, her words must have offended him a little.


"I...I am sorry, I was just joking, Sameer." She uttered in a shaky tone, her body was vibrating because of his closeness.


"This might be normal for you, but not for those people who are being trapped in a false case, who are being hated by the audience of this world for no reason. You won't understand the pain of those victims, who spend their entire life proving themselves innocent." Sameer scolded her for playing such a prank, and Naina has started to cry now.


"Why are you crying now?" He asked her in frustration, and She replied to him in a soft voice - "Because you are accusing me now...who would know the pain of a victim better than me? I fight for them, I watch them crying day and night, I read heart-breaking words about them in newspapers, if I would not understand their pain then I won't ever be able to give them justice. I know I shouldn't have joked about such a serious topic with you, but trust me I had no intentions to hurt you, I was just teasing you."


"Fine...forget it." He said in a low voice, and then asked her - "Why have you come here?"


"To take you with me." Naina replied with innocence in her glistening eyes.


"Where? To the Jail?" Sameer chuckled humorlessly, and She glared at him angrily.


"What? You are a Lawyer, either you will drag me to the Court, or to the Jail." He said with an evil smirk, and Naina spoke - "I want you to come down, and attend the auspicious pooja."


"Why should I follow your orders, Lawyer Ji?" Sameer folded his hands across his chest, and gave her an intimidating smile.


"Please come na...everyone is waiting for you, and by attending this Pooja, you can even ask God to help you in winning more matches." Naina said with a sweet smile, but He just chuckled.


He pulled her dangerously closer to him, his grip getting stronger on her waist. She was feeling anxious at the way He was scrutinizing her.


"I have been asking God to help me in winning you back, but what did he do? He snatched you away from me, and left me like an incomplete puzzle. I don't believe in any God, if he can't fulfil this simple wish of mine, then his blessing or existence in my life doesn't matter for me." Sameer spoke in a painful voice, making her shocked for a second.


"Believe it or not, but God does exist...otherwise we would haven't met again." Naina said with sternness in her tone, and Sameer seethed in anger, and replied to her while pressing his firm nose against her small one - "Then tell him to complete our incomplete Love Tale, tell him to fill the devoid of a partner in my life. Tell him to make you mine, if someday these all would happen to me...then I will believe God Is There."


"What if I want myself to be yours?" She asked him sincerely, and He gave a painful smile, and said - "It won't happen...Never ever."


"Why?" She was disheartened, and Sameer replied to her angrily - "You better ask yourself. Miss.Naina."


"Can't we just forget everything, I mean at least until we are here to attend our friend's wedding. Our past shouldn't affect our present." Naina softened her tone, and He looked at her with a tranquil face, and asked her - "Will you be able to forget those things you have done to me? It might be easy for you to forget everything, but not for me. I can never forget even a single thing from our past, and I will make sure you also don't forget anything."


"Please Sameer try to understand, I was stupid that time to do these all things. I am regretting now for everything I have done to you, just give me one last chance." She requested him to let her prove her love for him, she knows she has made such a biggest and foolish mistake of her life. But at last, she is also a human. Mistakes happen.


"Why should I give you a chance? So that you can break my heart in the worst way? That time I still somehow managed to survive, but this time if you will again break my heart. Then your swear, Naina, I will die." Sameer said with deep pain in his eyes, and Naina looked at him in flummox.


"Have you gone mad?" She screamed at him, and He was taken aback for a moment.


It is rare to see Naina screaming at someone, she is known as a cool person. Sameer gulped down, and She continued scolding him - "Years will change, but my love for you will never, believe it or not but since when I have left you. I haven't felt peace even for a moment. I used to miss every single thing about us, about our beautiful relationship. I am sorry for everything Sameer, I know no amount of apologies will lessen your pain, but just one chance. I am asking nothing but just a chance to repair my every mistake, to fix your broken heart."


Sameer stood there with a blank face, he so wanted to accept her in his life, but his heart was stopping him. He let out a deep breath, and said - "I can't let you spoil my life again, I have already suffered so much because of you, I can't afford to slip into a depression, it is good that you have realised your mistake, but don't expect anything in return from me. I am not your Old Sameer, who would forgive you with a smile. I am changed, and so is my love for you. Now I hate you, I hate you very much."


"Your words can be deceptive, but your eyes can not. Look at yourself in the mirror once, and ask yourself. Do you really hate me? Do you really don't feel anything for me, for that girl who used to be your whole world once upon a time? Try lying to someone else not to me, I have known you for years, I can easily decipher when you are being honest, and when a liar." Naina said with a lopsided smile, and went an inch closer to him. She said further with a deep intensity in her eyes - "I don't know if I would ever be able to win back your heart and trust, but one thing I know I will always love you, hate me as much as you want, I won't stop loving you ever."


She smiled before leaving his room, and Sameer was contemplating about her words, she was looking so adamant and confident while speaking. There was no trace of fear or nervousness on her face, she looked more stubborn than before. He looked at himself in the mirror while rubbing his growing beard, and said - "Keep trying my love, maybe you will win me again."


โ€ข The poojan was completed, and now it was time for the Haldi Ceremony. Kajal and Karan were sitting on the beautifully decorated swing, and their never ending smile was the evidence of how happy they are feeling to become a part of each other's life. Naina also came to apply the thick yellow paste to them, and when her hand reached out to touch Kajal's cheek, one extra strong hand of someone collided with hers, and She looked at that person with a surprise written on her face. Sameer was standing beside her in a plain yellow kurta, his expressions as simple as his look. Karan smirked, noticing the effect Naina had on his lion friend. Both of them applied Haldi to the couple, and blessed them with a soft smile.


"Someone was saying" Why should he follow my orders, now what happened?" Naina smirked, and asked him with a lopsided smile.


"Oh please Naina, I haven't come here because you asked me to, the Poojan is completed now, and I told Karan beforehand that I will surely attend his Haldi Ceremony." Sameer replied to her with arrogance on his face, and She just shook her head.


"Such a bad liar you are." She commented, and before He could reply to her. She went towards Riya.


"How will I tolerate this girl till the wedding?" Sameer murmurs angrily, his eyes fixed on Naina, who was carelessly laughing with her friend group.


She looks so pretty while laughing. He thought, and quickly distracted his mind in some other thing.


"Don't you think you have become so shameless after coming here?" Altamash's mischievous voice caught Sameer's attention, and He raised his eyebrows in a questioning way.


"Look at the direction of your eyes, I have been observing from a distance. You are continuously ogling at those beautiful girls, have some shame buddy, they're someone's daughter and sister. This all doesn't suit you." Altamash said with fake seriousness on his face, and Sameer motioned his hand to punch his smiling face. But his friend quickly took a step back, and spoke in urgency - "Naina is calling you."


Sameer quickly looked back, and in the meantime Altamash ran away from there.


He seethed in frustration, and Altamash stuck out his tongue at him for easily becoming a fool. Naina's eyes lay on Sameer, and through her fingers She gestured to him to smile a little. He looked at her blankly, and when her attention drew back to Riya. He lowered his head, and smiled slowly.


"Look at that arrogant guy. He is smiling." Riya pointed her index finger on Sameer, and Naina looked at him blushingly.


"So much change in just one day. Nice." She said in surprise, and Naina hummed with a sweet smile.


"Is it your influence?" Riya asked her smiling friend with an apprehensive face, and Naina coughed, wondering how she should lie to her cunning friend?


"Your silence has given me my answer darling." Riya spoke while winking at her, and then she went near Altamash. Who was engrossed in talking with Karan.


"Hey Alma." She took his name in a sweet voice, and Altamash felt like his worst nightmare had come true. He annoyingly looked at her disturbing him, and said - "I am not your Alma...Balma, stop calling me by these weird nicknames."


"Awww...you look so cute when you get angry. My Alma." Riya softly pulled his cheek with a seductive smile, and Altamash immediately scolded Karan - "tell your sister-in-law to stay away from me, her silly antics will jeopardize my reputation."


"Come-on Alma, I am a perfect girl for you...I have fame, a pile of money, looks, and genuine feelings for you. What else do you need? You will feel like the happiest man after accepting my proposal." Riya openly confessed her love, and Altamash regretted the decision of attending this wedding.


"Stop flirting with me. I am not interested in you, or any other girl." He said in a stern voice, and Riya slapped her mouth in a dramatic way, and asked him - "O my god are you a gay?"


Karan quickly took a step back, feeling horrified now at seeing Altamash. Altamash clenched his fist, and reprimanded her - "Can't you understand one simple thing? I don't love you, stop irritating me for Allah's sake, I am tolerating you only for Karan, otherwise I would have shown you what happens if someone annoys Altamash Khan."


"Tum jaise ladke bahut dekhe hai maine, koi kami nahi hai ache ladko ki meri life me, sab marte hai meri ek smile pe. Itna attitude kisi aur ko dikhana samjhe na? Bhaad me jao tum aur tumhara yeh chamgadar jaisa muh." Riya glared at him for insulting her in front of her soon-to-be brother-in-law, and Altamash was appalled at seeing her lioness side.


"Had fun?" Karan teased Altamash, and He looked at him in horror.


"You should be thankful to god that I have invited only a handful of people, because I didn't want to have a wedding with annoying and unwanted guests around me. If they all would have been here, and had listened to Riya scolding a renowned cricketer Altamash Khan in such a cruel way, then what would they have thought about you?" Karan said with a smirk, and Altamash glared at him for increasing his anger for Riya even more.


"I hope this video won't go viral on Social Media." He scared him a little more, though he knows his father has made sure that nothing goes viral from here without their permission.


"What?" Altamash screamed.
