Naina was standing at Rajveer's door. After gathering a lots of courage finally she knocked his door. She has a great doubt, whether he will listen or not. He was looking extremely mad at her. She can't bear this misunderstandings. Also she needs to stay in kma. She knocked twice, but  rajveer didn't open the door.

Naina slowly pushed the door, it was already open. She entered the room by taking baby steps. She looked here and there, but no trace of rajveer. Very slowly she called,

"Rajveer sir, sir?"

No answer. Then she heard someone's foot steps. An orderly came out from rajveer's bedroom.

"Rajveer sir kaha hai?"

"Vo toh abhi abhi bahar gaye hai, main toh unka room saaf kar raha tha"

"Vo kaha gaye hai?"

"Pata nahi, sayed hq gaye honge"

"Aur vo kitna door hai?"

Orderly gave her the address.

Naina was really upset. She cannot go outside, what if Veransh caught her. No that will never happen. With the thought of Veransh her body trembled.

She quickly came near shalini's room. Atleast she will listen to naina. Naina will tell her everything. Naina hurriedly came and she was shocked. The door of infirmary is locked.

Naina turned back and found pooja.

"Pooja, tune shalini mam ko dekha?"

"Shalini mam toh army hospital gayi hai shruti ko lekar, oye tu thik toh hai na? Zameen pe kyu baith rahi hai? Uth, tera kapra kharab ho jayega"

Naina sat on the floor. It seems like the whole universe is planning against her. Now, what she will do?? Tears rolled down from her eyes,

"Ab main kya karungi pooja?"

"Hua kya hai? Bol na"- pooja was shocked to see her condition.

Suddenly major nair appeared.

"Cadet ghai aapko ground me 2 min ke andar report karna hai"

Pooja left by hunging her head low. She scared of major nair like hell. Then nair looked at naina and said,

"Tum hi naina singh ahluwalia ho na? Bc ne kaha hai 1 hour ke andar tum academy se chali jana, got it?"

Naina nodded her head silently. Major nair left from there.

Naina started to panicking badly. She was thinking that this place will give her protection, but again it was snatched away from her. She was looking here and there like a lost puppy. She tried her best, she gave her best, still all her efforts were futile. Now, where she will go. She was crying and sobbing continuously. She started to think about naveen. And this makes her cry more.

When she came to know about rajveer, she saw new rays of hope. She thought rajveer will save her from misery, her unconscious mind started to feel something for rajveer. But everything has turned out exact opposite. Rajveer himself thrown her out from this academy.

She slowly makes her way out from the academy but she took a last glance of the academy with teary eyes.

She never did anything wrong in her life before. She never hurts anyone, never thought anything bad about anyone. Then why her life is that much difficult? Why her life is full of misery. She started to walk on the road hopelessly.

-------------------

Rajveer came back to kma. The day was very much hectic. First he went to the hq, then he went to buy a house. He bought a house near kma for his mother. Today he went to complete all the legal procedures. Now, the house is owned by him. He was feeling relieved today.

He quickly took a shower and went towards the mess. May be suriji kept something for him. He has no energy to prepare dinner at this time. He was exhausted as hell.

He came to the mess, and he was right, suriji has kept some food for him. He was having his dinner. Shalini entered the mess. She was also looking extremely tired. She sat on the chair,

"Suriji, plz ek black coffee dena"

"Ji abhi laya captain ji"

Suriji smiled and gave the black coffee to shalini. Shalini smiled and thanked him. Rajveer noticed that shalini was not talking to him. Rajveer's brow creased and he walked and sat beside shalini.

Suddenly suriji asked shalini...

Suriji- vo ladki kaisi hai shalini ji?

Shal- she is absolutely fine suriji....aur apko pata hai aj uski jaan bhi ja sakti thi....

Suri- kya baat kar rahe ho??

Shal- ji ha,,,,aur duniya ka koi bhi doctor use nhi bacha pata,,,uske body me scratches aye the ek zeherile plant se, actually shruti ka pair fisal gaya tha aur usi waqt usne us zeheriley per ko pakarne ki koshish ki, aur kuch scratches a gaye uske body me....

Suri- oyeeee...ki baat kar rhe ho tussi!!!!

Shal- ha suriji, aur phir naina ne use upar ane me madat ki, aur sirf itna hi nahi usne kuch aise medicinal plants ka istemal kiya jisse shruti ke body me zeher failna bandh ho gaya,,,,agar naina sahi waqt par use vo medicinal plants nhi lagati toh abtak shruti ke brain me zeher phail chuka hota, aur uske brain ka oxygen supply cut ho jata aur phir use brain stroke ho jata.....

Shalini looked at rajveer while saying all this. Rajveer was stunned and shocked as well.

Raj- doc yeh aap??

Shal- aapko agar meri baat par yakin nahi ata toh jake shruti se aap baat kar sakte hai.....kya kaha tha aapne??? Ki is academy me aisi ladki ki zarurat hai jo mentally kaafi strong ho, aur jiska nerve bht strong ho, koi ronevali, darrnevali, ladkharati hui ladki nhi chahiye right??? Sorry to say captain, par aj vohi ronevali ladki ne apne dimag ka sahi istemal karke, sahi time pe ek asli ghayal sipahi ko bachake camp tak wapas lauti hai......bina apni jaan ki parva kiye........

Rajveer was not believing his ears. It is really unbelievable. Naina has saved shruti's life and he thought that she is responsible for shruti's condition. How wrong he was.

Shalini again continued...

Shal- aur aap jante hai captain,,,naina ne written aur viva dono me hi shruti se zyada score kiya hai,,,aur vo agar chahti toh asani se shruti ko us pahari ke upar chorke akeli a jati, phir toh vo test bhi jit jati, par usne aisa nhi kiya,,,usne shruti ka sath nhi chora, aur sahi salamat use camp tak wapas layi,,,,aur aj agar shruti zinda hai toh sirf aur sirf naina ke vaje se.............

Rajveer closed his eyes out of guilt. He did a huge mistake. He bashed her so rudely. Naina's crying face was appearing on his mind.

Raj- mujhe laga ki naina...

Shal- papa ki pari haa??? Jiska din Facebook se suru hoke Instagram pe khatam hota hai?? Aapki jaankari ke liye main apko bata du ki naina anath hai......koi nhi hai uska,,,,bht helpless hai vo, isiliye is academy me rehena chahti thi mere pass.....

Rajveer's eyes show pain and remorse. Oh god!!!! What a mistake he had done. He thought so wrong about her, but she did unthinkable. Even some senior cadets of this academy can't do such things. He made so wrong opinion about her.

Suri- us kudi ne sachme bht bahaduri dikhayi hai,,,,par shalini ji vo toh academy chor ke chali gayi....

Rajveer and shalini both were numb after hearing this news.

Raj- what!!!!! Kab? Aur kyu??? Vo toh kal jaane vali thi na?

Suri- ha sirji, par kya hai na ki bc ne kaha ki 2 ghante ke andar vo chali jay isiliye sayed vo chali gayi.

Shalini sat on the chair helplessly. Guilt strucked Rajveer completely. This is all happen only for his deeds. He told bc about her lies and she left silently. She didn't explained anything to anyone. She was really hurt with this injustice. Rajveer never ever judge so easily, but naina's first impression to rajveer was not so good. He thought that she was hiding something.

Shal- ab toh aap khush hai na captain!

Shalini said in a low tone.

Raj- plz doc, mujhe aur sharminda mat kijiye,,,main naina ko wapas lene ja raha hu...

Shal- koi fayda nhi,,,,bc ne use nikal diya hai aur ab mujhe nhi lagta vo dobara naina ko academy me wapas lenge.....

Raj- main koi na koi rasta zarur nikalunga,,,,galati agar mujhse hui hai toh main hi us galati ko sudharunga.....

Rajveer hurriedly walked away from there.

-----------------------

It was raining heavily. The monsoon has arrived already. Naina was sitting under the shade of a shop. She was shivering badly. Her both hands were joined around her knees. Her lips were quivering due to the cold breezes that were running occasionally.

But she was not bothered about the cold. She was thinking about her future. Where she will go now? She has no clothes, she has no house, no money. Her body was extremely exhausted due to the heavy physical activity. It took a huge energy to carry shruti from that hill. She was also injured, but they were not treated.

She was also feeling hungry, but she has no money to buy food. She was looking at the road. She saw a family, husband, wife and a baby girl. They were walking by holding the umbrella while laughing and talking to each other. Naina found the moment very sweet. She always wanted a family like that, but she never got one. In Veransh's large mansion, always her breathing chocked. Only she enjoyed Reyansh's company occasionally. Veransh's mom and dad always treated her like a trash.

But she missed those days before her marriage. Naveen and she lived a happy life. They had little money, still they enjoyed every bit of their life. Tears appeared on her eyes by thinking about naveen.

She was crying and sobbing. Time passed and passed like that. The rain was increasing. The thunderstorm was hitting the sky. The sky was dividing by the intensity of the thunderstorm. Naina closed her ears tightly. She is really scared of this thunderstorm.

She was holding her ears tightly, suddenly she felt someone's hand on her shoulder. She was scared and looked up timidly and she saw those pair of deep eyes.

Her heartbeat took an abnormal speed. She was not believing her eyes. Is he really here?? He has thrown her out from kma few hours back and now what he is doing here? Naina was blinking her eyes with great difficulty because the rain was hitting her eyes.

Rajveer was looking at her pityly. He never imagined this condition of her. She is looking like a little kitten. She is very much thin and now she is looking extremely thin. She is shivering badly.

Rajveer hold her shoulder and make her stand. Still she was looking at him with wide  and innocent eyes. Rajveer smiled a little and very softly he said,

"Naina"

Naina answered with shaky voice.

"Aap?"

"Main tumhe lene aya hu"

Naina looked directly into rajveer's eyes. She was trying to understand his meaning.

"Par aapne toh mujhe nikal diya hai na"- she mumbled....

"I'm sorry, mere sath chalogi?"

"Par bc ne agar mujhe wapas nhi liya toh?"

Rajveer hold her shoulder and by looking into her eyes said,

"Don't worry, main hoon na"

Tears appeared on her eyes. There is something on rajveer's voice that make her happy and sad at the same time. She never felt that kind of affection on anyone's voice except her bhaiya.

Naina nodded her head. Rajveer walked and naina followed him slowly, but her leg slipped and she caught rajveer's jacket abruptly. Rajveer immediately hold her tightly from her waist and naina placed her hand on his shoulder. They looked at each other.

Rajveer found only innocence and pain on her eyes. Why her eyes were that much sad??

And naina found comfort and safety on his arms. It seems like no danger will come near her if this man keep his hold on her like that.

Ankhiyon ko rehene dey...

Ankhiyon ke asapass....

Door se dil ki....

Bujhti rahe pyas.....



Suddenly another thunderstorm hit the sky and naina hugged rajveer tightly with all her force. Rajveer was shocked with her action. She was tightly pressing her on his body and trembling badly.

She needs comfort, she is scared and asking for some solace. Rajveer slowly placed his arms around her. For the first time rajveer's heart started to beat. He never felt that kind of sensation, but his heart was beating loudly with naina's proximity. He was really shocked after hearing his own heartbeat.

They remained like that for sometime. Then naina slowly came back to her senses and she became extremely embarrassed and immediately pulled away herself. Rajveer was also feeling awkward.

Finally rajveer broke the ice.

Raj- let's go....

Naina nodded shyly.

They both walked side by side. They both were silent. But for the very first time naina felt extremely safe. She was not feeling any kind of fear. She looked at rajveer from the corner of her eyes. A small smile crept on her lips.

They sat on the jip. Rajveer started the jip. They both were silent through the whole ride. Finally the jip stopped. Now naina was surprised...

"Yeh kiska ghar hai?"

"Mera"

Naina was surprised....

"Par hum toh kma jaanevale the na?"

"Ha, par itni raat gaye main tumhe kma nhi le ja sakta,,,bc ko lagta hai ki u know......shruti kal hospital se discharge ho jayegi, aur phir bc ko sab sach pata chalega, toh aj raat ke liye tumhe yahi rukna hoga, main tumhe kisi hotel me bhi le ja sakta tha but vo safe nhi hoga tumhare liye, isikiye main yaha leke aya"

They both walked towards the main gate. Rajveer knocked the door. His mother has already arrived in the evening. Rajveer's cousin sister also came with his mom. She is her mother's sister's daughter. Her name is kusum.



Kusum, 25 years old, fun loving and little sassy......working in a private company....

Rajveer's mom said to kusum,

Rani- dekh na kusum kaun aya hai?

Ku- ji mausi....

Kusum opened the door and her eyes widened. Rajveer was standing with a girl. Kusum looked at them for sometime and then she shouted.

Ku- mausi,,,,jaldi ayo....rajveer bhaiya shadi karke aye hai........

Ground slipped under rajveer and naina's feet and they looked at each other shockingly......
