A Mesmerizing Love Story Of Those Golden Days – Episode 16

Hey guys. Sorry for the late update. Actually I was busy with the last project of my school life as I will begin University after the summer break. So I had to give my best. And I am so happy to receive an A in the project 🙂

Thankyou so much for all the love n support you all have been giving to the ff.

The episode starts with Naina shocked to see Sameer standing behind her. “What did you say?” asks Sameer. “ N..Nothing. I did not say anything.” replies Naina in a trembling voice. “Stop lying, Naina. I heard it. How could you even think of doing something like that to your own family?” says Sameer. “THEY ARE NOT MY FAMILY!! That’s the reason I am doing all this.” shouts Naina. “At least you accepted that I heard it right.” replies Sameer. “I don’t care if you heard it. Just leave now and let me concentrate on the plan.” orders Naina.  He asks, “The plan to ruin your life?” On hearing that, Naina gives him a confused look while he continues, “Just come with me once, please.” and she reluctantly goes along with him, away from the crowd.

Sameer says, “Do you even know how much your Chacha-Chachi love you? They care so much about you. Since the day you and Preeti entered the school, they both remind me every single day over phone to take care of you both and see if you both face any kind of problem in the school. I joined this school many years back but it has never been old. Two years back, I was offered to join a highly reputed school far away but I refused by giving the excuse that I won’t be able to stay without my parents. But another reason of staying back was this school, my friends and your Chacha-Chachi. They have always treated me like their son. They have always helped me in the best way possible. And I am 110% sure that they are trying to help you both even better. I know you don’t have your parents here in India but they both are no less than your parents. Please understand and stop all this.” Naina is deeply touched but stares at him and says, “I don’t trust you. Just leave.” Sameer gets heartbroken but doesn’t show it on his face as he says, “Alright, I will leave. Just one last thing. At least you trust yourself, right. So just shut your eyes and think if there is anything your Chacha-Chachi have done for you? I am sure there will be many, but even if you are able to see one such thing, I believe you will get your answer.”

Naina shuts her eyes and everything starts revolving in her head: Her parents who messed up everything, and then her Chacha-Chachi who emerged as brightness in her dull life. The way they took care of her and Preeti, the dresses and shoes they brought, the delicious food Chachi cooked, their concern, their kind behavior ….

And Naina suddenly opens her eyes and starts crying. Sameer tries to console her by saying, “Naina, please calm down. At least tell me why are you crying?” Suddenly Preeti comes there and asks, “Naina, I was looking for all around. What are you…” and stops as she sees her crying and quickly hugs her. “What happened? Did this boy say something to you?” asks Preeti as she pushes off Sameer. Naina stops her and replies while sobbing, “We are so evil. How could we do this to them? They gave us all the love we were looking for all our lives and we only gave them hatred.” Preeti asks with a confused look, “What are you talking about?”

Naina narrates the conversation she had with Sameer and her self-confrontation. Tears start rolling down Preeti’s eyes. She hugs Naina and says, “How could we not see this earlier? Chacha Ji and Chachi Ji always tried to mend our broken lives. They loved us the way we expected our parents to love us. But right now, we must mend our ways and thank them for everything. Life won’t give us another chance.” Sameer smiles seeing them. Naina smiles with tears in her eyes and says, “Firstly, go and inform Swati about everything.” Preeti nods and replies, “But before that…” She turns towards Sameer and continues, “I don’t know if I should say sorry first or thankyou. But I think I should start with apologizing. I am really very sorry for misunderstanding you and pushing you away. And thankyou so much for providing intelligence to our stupid brains.” Sameer who was trying to keep a serious look on his face, just starts laughing. “It’s ok. I am glad I could provide intelligence to the brains from London.” he says. The three laugh and Preeti leaves to tell Swati about everything.

Naina looks in to Sameer’s eyes and says, “I don’t think thankyou is enough for what you have done today. You gave us our beautiful lives back that we were again going to spoil.” and is about to hug Sameer but stops. Sameer who is lost in Naina’s eyes, doesn’t respond at all. “Sameer” she raises her voice and Sameer gets back to the real world. “Where are you lost?” she asks and he replies unknowingly, “In your eyes…” “What?” asks Naina curiously. Sameer quickly responds, “Ice…Ice… I was thinking about ice. It’s so hot in Jaipur. I just want to go to Shimla to see ice, yes.” Naina smiles and says, “So you love Shimla too. That’s good. But there’s snow on the mountains, not ice.” and leaves.

Sameer smiles and sings, “JO TUMKO HO PASAND WOHI BAAT KAHENGE

TUM ICE KO AGAR SNOW KAHO SNOW KAHENGE”

and covers his face with his hands shyly as he follows Naina.

Naina sees Preeti and Swati hugging each other. And as they notice her, Swati comes to Naina and happily hugs her saying, “I am so proud of you and this decision. Thankyou so much for staying here. I am so happy that we three will enjoy together.” “I am not able to breathe, Swati.” says Naina as Swati had hugged her very tight. “Oh, sorry” replies Swati as she lets go of her. “Is one slap enough for you or do you want two?” asks Naina and a confused Swati looks at her. Preeti smiles and Naina says, “You keep on giving us lecture all day about friendship and you yourself said both thankyou and sorry.” and the three laugh. Sameer, who is watching from a distance, laughs too.

Munna and Pandit come to Sameer and he explains them everything that happened. Pandit hugs Sameer tightly and says, “You are the best, brother. Because of you, Preeti will stay here now. I am so happy.” Munna also hugs Sameer and says, “Also, FROCK WALA PANDIT (Pandit wearing a frock) will stay happy now.” “I never wear a frock.” replies Pandit angrily. “Who is even talking about you?” says Munna. “Who is Frock wala Pandit then?” asks Sameer curiously. “Swati” replies Munna shyly. “What?” laugh Sameer and Pandit. Munna replies, “Actually, there are three reasons behind that. First, I don’t want to call her by her name until we marry. You know, like the girls don’t call their to-be husbands by their name. Secondly, I can easily compliment her or speak about her even if she is in front of me. And lastly, she mostly wears a frock or skirt. I could use FROCK WALA SAMEER but that sounds awkward to me. Sameer is so tall that a frock won’t suit him. So FROCK WALA PANDIT is good.”

“This boy has gone crazy in love.” laugh Sameer and Pandit.

Suddenly, they all hear Anand and Bela saying on the mike, “That was a wonderful and informative program. We hope our guest loved it too. Now before we leave for inspecting the school, we would like to have our new students Naina and Preeti to come up and say a few words to thank our guest for coming here and spending such good time with us. Also, the girls will speak about the importance of government in the field of education. Please invite them with a huge round of applause.”

Naina and Preeti smile and get the speeches out of their pockets. As they start to move, Swati stops them and whispers, “Girls, this is the bad speech. You can’t say these things now.” Naina and Preeti realize that and stare each other in fear.
