Rajveer has reached the ground. Already the cadets were assimilated there. Today's drill will lead under the supervision of Rajveer and Gunny.

Rajveer was explaining the drill to everyone.

Raj- ajk drill ka nam hai trust drill....aap apne sathi par kitna bharosa karte ho ya phir kar sakte ho, ajke drill se aap vohi sikhoge,,,toh main aap logo ko drill bata du,,,aap log jodi me nikloge,, apko west ki taraf jana hai, aap sabko apna apna map diya jayega,,us map ko follow karke apne apne locations tak pohochna hoga,,,aapko ek ek code bhi diya jayega, jise crack karke aapko agey barna hoga, apko aur apke jodidar ko sujhbujh se yeh codes crack karne parenge,,,har ek location me ek naya code hidden hoga, aise saare codes ek ek karke crack karke apko finally apka akhri code milega, jiske hisab se apko kuch dhundke lana hoga camp tak, par vo chiz kya hai yeh aap logo ko hi pata lagana parega.....am i clear?

Yu- sir, i have a doubt...agar hum code nhi crack kar paye toh?

Raj- toh aap jungle me rasta bhatak jaynege cadet....isiliye agar aap logo ko camp tak wapas laut na hai toh code properly crack karna parega.....

Everyone become little tensed after hearing that.

Po- sir, agar hum jungle me rasta bhatak gaye toh? Vo mera matlab hai ki hume rescue kaun karega??

Rajveer came infront of pooja. Naina was just standing beside her.

Raj- rasta toh apko khud dhundna hoga cadet ghai....

Rajveer looked at naina from the corner of his eyes and continued...

Raj- aur yeh toh sirf ek drill hai, par real life war situation me aapko khud rasta dhundke nikalna hoga,,,kyu ki mushibat kabhi bhi aur kahi bhi a sakti hai....

Everyone nodded their head. Rajveer smiled and came back to his position.

Then gunny said,

Gun- toh, ab aapko apne apne joridar ke sath pair karne ki baari...

Huda- sir, vo kya hum apna partner khud nhi chun sakte?

Gunny smiled and looked at rajveer.

Gun- what say captain sikhawat??

Raj- I don't think so.....mujhe lagta hai ki hume in logo ki pairing karni chahiye..

Rajveer said sternly which makes gunny to crease his brow amusingly.

Raj- cadet huda aur cadet yudi, cadet baig aur cadet shital and cadet ghai aur cadet singh....

Rajveer announced the pairing. Gunny was little surprised. He took Rajveer aside.

Gun- kya kar raha hai? Do ladkiyo ki pairing nhi kar sakte hum....

Raj- kyu??? Ek ladki ko humesha kya ek ladke ki madat ki zarurat hoti hai?

Gun- shut up Rajveer...vo baat nhi hai....task thora heavy hai remember?? Naina aur pooja i don't think its a good match....tu ek kaam kar cadet huda aur naina ki pairing karde.....

Rajveer clenched his jaw tightly and remained silent for sometime. Gunny closely looked his expression and smiled on his mind.

Gun- kya hua? Itna kya soch raha hai? Tujhe prblm kya hai? Kahi aisa toh nhi ki tu naina ko kisi aur ke sa...

Raj- just shut up!!! Aisi koi baat nhi hai..

Rajveer replied irritatingly.

Gun- toh phir??

Raj- thik hai tujhe jiske sath jisko pair karna hai kar....mujhe koi fark nhi parta...

Rajveer replied by running his hand on his hair.

Gun- okay....

Gunny came back to them and he finally paired ali and pooja, yudi and shital and naina and huda.

Naina and huda already cracked some of the codes. Now they were moving for the next location.

Hu- oye naina, rukna,,,thora sa aram karle phir chalenge.

Naina was also tired so she agreed and they sat under a tree. Huda was constantly stealing glances of naina. Naina was looking at the surroundings.

Hu- ek baat kahu?

He asked little hesitantly.

Naina- ha bol na....

Hu- tu bht khubsurat hai...

Huda said looking at her which makes naina little awkward and flushed...

Naina- kuch bhi bolta reheta hai.

She tried to change the topic.

Hu- kuch bhi nhi bol raha hu, sach bol raha hu, mummy ji ki kasam, tujhme kuch aisa hai jo kisiko bhi pagal bana sakta hai....

This words gave chill through naina's spine.

Tumhare liye main bilkul pagal hu jaan, itna pagal hu ki mann karta hai ki zindagi bhar tumhe apne is mahel me qaid karke rakh du, taaki suraj ki roshni aur chand ki kiran bhi  tumhe na chu paye, kyu ki tumhe chune ka haq sirf mujhe hai, aur agr kabhi kisiki saans bhi tumhe chuke nikli toh main un saanson ko bandh kar dunga humesha humesha ke liye........

Hu- oye naina, tu thik toh hai na?

Huda was holding naina's shoulder and shaking her. Tears were continuously flowing from naina's eyes and she was again having a panic attack.

Naina jerked huda's hand and started to move forward with her shaking legs.

(Wo nhi hai yaha par, Veransh nhi hai, tu darr mat naina, tu kma me hai, wo tujh tak kabhi nhi pohoch payega, kabhi nhi)

She was muttering those words. Huda was shocked. Why she was trembling. He did nothing wrong. Suddenly what happened to her? Huda followed her.

Hu- oye naina ruk......oye....nainaaa......

Naina was walking but she didn't notice that a dry well was infront of her. Her legs stumbled and she directly fell into the 30 ft deep well.

Huda immediately ran on the direction. Fear strucked him completely but as soon as he reached near the well, his leg also stumbled and he also fell as well.

Rajveer was looking through his binocular and he was looking extremely tensed.

(Yeh dono kaha chaley gaye?)

He was again tried to look through the binocular, again he became irritated. Suddenly he felt someone's presence beside him.

Raj- tu??

Gun- itna pareshan kyu dikh raha hai?

Raj- pareshan na hou to aur kya karu??? Naina aur huda ko main pichle adhe ghante se dekhne ki koshish kar raha hu par vo dono mujhe dikh hi nhi rahe hai,,,baki ke saare cadets nazar a rhe hai sivay un dono ke...

Rajveer was looking angry as hell. Gunny smiled. He just wanted to see that reaction that's why he paired naina and huda together. He wants to see rajveer's jealousy.

Gun- Rajveer.....r u jealous???

Rajveer looked at gunny with anger.

Raj- tu pagal ho gaya hai??? Main kyu jalunga??? Mujhe bass........naina ki fikar ho rahi hai...

Gunny cocked his brow..

Gun- gayeb to dono hai na?? Toh tujhe cadet huda ki bhi fikar karni chahiye i guess....

Rajveer clenched his jaw.

Raj- mujhe vo huda bilkul pasand nhi hai...

Gun- par kyu rajveer?? Usne kabhi tera kuch bigara hai?

Rajveer turned his back towards gunny.

Raj- gunny main pehele se hi bht pareshan hu tu mujhe aur pareshan mat kar.....aur main ja raha hu jungle me un dono ko dhundne.....aur us huda ko aj main nhi chorunga....baki ke cadets ko tu receive kar lena..

He was about to move but stopped by gunny's voice...

Gun- Rajveer......wait...

Gunny came infront of him.

Gun- agar naina ki itni hi parva hai toh pure haq se use dhund, is tarah se chupchup ke binocular lagake use follow mat kar....tu khud se darr ta hai na,,,par sach kahu toh yeh jo tu kar raha hai ise stalking kehete hai jo ki achi baat nhi hai.......apne emotions ko sidhe rastey agar chalayega toh yeh binocular lagake naina ko follow karne ki zarurat nhi paregi,,,,apne emotions ko tu jitna rok ke rakhega utna hi vo strong hota jayega rajveer and u know that very well. Psychology pari thi na tune????

Gunny walked away but his words strike rajveer very hard. He is saying the truth. What he was doing???? He was literally stalking her like some psychopath. He don't need to act that way. He just need to behave normal around her. Gunny is right. He is a man of his own control. He can do anything but  he cannot harm naina. Its not possible for him in any way. He cared for her, he loves her. May be he can give her happiness. May be everything is not so much difficult. He is making difficult everything. But what about his inner demons?? No, no there is no demon. He is captain Rajveer Singh Shikhawat, a man who has devoted his whole life for his country.

Suddenly Rajveer felt little light and thanked gunny on his mind for putting those words into his mind. Nowadays he was thinking too much. He moved towards the jungle light heartedly.

Rajveer was walking through the forest nearly about 40 minutes still he got no trace of naina and huda. He was feeling extremely restless. She is so new into the training. He must not have included her into such difficult drills. Rajveer was feeling extremely sad for naina.

He never behaved well with her from the very first day. Suddenly he remembered about his birthday when she gave him that little present. Many small memories of naina were appearing on his mind. How she was sitting in the rain that day while crying, how she hugged him tightly at the sound of thunder, how she ate like little kid on his house. She is way too innocent but he never tried to understand her properly. He always distanced himself from her but she handled everything silently. Rajveer's heart panged with guilt and Suddenly he felt the urge to hug naina tightly.

Suddenly rajveer heard something. A murmuring sound, someone is moving, the sound of dry leaves were clearly audible. He looked here and there cautiously. Then he slowly took some steps forward and his eyes  widened in shock.

There is a deep well and two people were lying there. Rajveer sat and tried to look clearly and his heart stopped. Huda and naina!!! Naina was totally unconscious, while huda is moving a little. They both were injured. Rajveer's heartbeat increased out of fear. Why she is unconscious?? What if something happened to her?? No, it can't. She will be fine.

Raj- cadet huda?? Are you alright?

Rajveer shouted but all goes in vain. No reply came from huda. Probably he became unconscious again. Rajveer was looking here and there. The sun already set and the darkness is engulfing the forest. He can't leave them alone. Also first he needs to check whether they are alright or not.

Rajveer then directly jumped into the well. He balanced well on his feet. Then immediately he hold naina. He took her head on his chest.

Raj- naina, ankhe kholo, are u alright? Plz for god sakes....open your eyes.

Tears appeared on rajveer's eyes and his voice was cracking. He started to check her whole face and body. Suddenly he felt her movements. She slowly opened her eyes. Rajveer's face turned into a happy grin.

Raj- thank god!!! Ohhhh!!!

Rajveer was still holding her face.

First naina was in a daze but after a while she realised her position. Her head was in rajveer's lap. Immediately naina moved her head and sat little away from rajveer. Rajveer also realised and then he came back to his proper senses and stood up. Naina then looked at huda and went near him.

Naina- huda, ankhe khol. Oh god! Sir ise toh chot lagi hai sar pe...khun bhi nikal raha hai...

Rajveer immediately went near huda and looked at his wounds. Yes, his head was bleeding. They both get tensed.

Naina- ab kya hoga sir?

Raj- relax naina....mujhe sochne do.....

Suddenly naina looked at rajveer shockingly .

Naina- sir, aap kaise yaha aye??? Aapka bhi pair fisal gaya?

Rajveer looked little tensed. He scratched his forehead.

Raj- ummm....ha....mera bhi fisal gaya....pair....

/

Naina has bandaged huda's head with her and rajveer's handkerchief. Still he was unconscious. Rajveer was constantly watching her from that time. How perfectly she has cleared his wounds and bandaged him. It seems that she has born to be a doctor.

Naina was finally done and then she looked at rajveer. Rajveer immediately shifted his gaze.

But naina caught him staring which gives her little butterflies.

Raj- i think thora sa aag jalana chahiye....thand hai bht....aur jab tak huda ko hosh nhi a jata tab tak yaha se nikal na mushkil hai......

Naina nodded her head.

Rajveer gathered some dry leaves and lit up with the fire. They both were having an awkward silence for sometime. They don't know what to talk. Actually they never have a proper conversation before.

Naina- aapne kuch kaha?

Rajveer's trance broke.

Raj- nhi to....

Naina- mujhe laga ki aapne kuch kaha...

She said in a low voice...

Rajveer smiled at her.

Raj- maine to kuch nhi kaha par tum agar chaho to kuch kehe sakti ho....

Naina looked at him in surprise.

Naina- matlab?

Raj- hmmmm....matlab ki kuch bhi...ab hum dono ko yehi raat guzarni hai,,,toh kisi bhi tarike se toh spend karna parega,,,toh i think hum dono ko baatey karni chahiye....what's say?

He asked in a playful way which makes naina's heart flutters in happiness. He never spoke to her that frankly before.

Naina- main kya batau? Aaphi kuch batayiye......vo...aap apna kuch experience share kijiye na....matlab ki aapke army life ke baare me...

Rajveer laughed at her demand.

Raj- you really want to hear?

Naina nodded.

Rajveer thought for a while.

Raj- acha toh ekbar main sikkim me posted tha,,us waqt ek mazedar baat hui thi,,,pass me ek gao tha...main us gao me aksar jaata tha...toh kuch dino se mere nam par letter ana start ho gaya.....love letter.

Naina chuckled while hearing that....

Raj- toh mere camp me sabko pata chal gaya ki koi ladki mujhe love letters bhej rahi hai, main bhi thora khush ho gaya,,,u know main tab 26 ka tha,,,toh i was very happy,,,toh main bhi thora reciprocate karne laga,,,main bhi letter bhejta raha...

Naina- par letter lata kaun tha?

Naina was very much enjoying his story.

Raj- ek ladka tha 20- 21 saal ka...uska nam tha chiru....toh main usike haatho bhejta raha....phir ekdin ek letter aya jisme likha tha ki vo mere sath thora sa time spent karna chahti hai,,,toh ek address likha tha letter pe,,,toh main toh thora ban dhanke nikal para usse milne...aur phir jab main uss address pe pohocha to maine dekha ki sirf chiru khara hai, toh maine pucha bhai vo kaha hai? Toh guess karo chiru ne kya kaha?

Naina- kya?

She asked smillingly.

Raj- usne bataya ki "main hi hu tumhari dewani,,,vo saare letters maine hi likhe the, i love u rajveer"

Naina's eyes widened.

Naina- phir kya hua???

Raj- hona kya tha, isse pehele vo mujhpar char jata main bhag nikla,,,,aur phir us chiru se har roz chupta raha,,use maine kitna samjhaya ki main vesa nhi hu, par vo manne ke liye taiyar hi nhi tha,,,aur jab baad me camp me sabko pata laga toh sab logone milke mujhe aisa chiraya ki pucho hi mat....

Now, naina broke out in laughing. Rajveer also started to laugh along with her.

Naina- mujhe chiru ke liye bura lag raha hai.....bichara sayed sachme aapse pyar karta tha....

Raj- may be....par main reciprocate nhi kar paya.....

Naina- vese....ummm....apko kabhi...kisise pyar hua hai?

Naina asked keeping her eyes in the ground.

Rajveer looked at her intently.

Raj- haaaa....

Naina immediately looked at his eyes and their eyes were locked with each other. Only the sound of wind is playing. They both were looking at each others soul.

Naina lowered her gaze.

Naina- kisse?

Raj- apne desh se......

Naina sighed.

They both were silent for sometime.

Naina- ek baat puchu?

Raj- sure...

Naina- aap mujhe zyada pasand nhi karte hai na?

Her question took Rajveer aback. Oh god!! That what is going on her head. Rajveer's ignorance make her believe that he doesn't like her.

Raj- nhi naina aisi baat nhi hai...blv me...

Naina- toh phir aap mujhe itna ignore kyu karte ho? Meri kheer bhi nahi khayi aapne kal jab ki apki favourite kheer banayi thi maine...

Rajveer's brow creased.

Raj- tumhe kaise pata meri fvrt kheer kaunsi hai?

This time naina gaped.

Naina- Rani aunty ne bataya tha ekdin...

Raj- par tumne mere liye kyu banayi kheer?

Rajveer's voice was so warm and soft that naina looked at him in daze.

Naina- pata nhi.....

Rajveer- kyu?

He again asked her. This time his voice was softer than before.

Naina- vo....main....apse....

"Yeh dekho yeh log yaha hai..captain are u alright?"

Their eye lock broke with the voices. Major nair, bc, gunny along with other cadets were standing there. They finally find them. Rajveer and naina both took a sigh of relief.

Finally they rescued them all. Huda was still unconscious. They all moved towards the kma. Naina has little scratches on her legs and arms.

They were about to enter the gate. But naina stopped by rajveer's voice.

He whispered on her ear before moving.

Raj- humari baat abhi tak puri nahi hui hai.....

This gives naina's heart a chilling sensation. She was shocked, surprised and amused as well.

She entered kma slowly while pooja was holding her.

Po- itna mushkura kyu rahi hai,

Naina- kuch nhi....vo.....

Naina's sentence stopped in midway with the sight infront of her.

Reyansh was hugging Rajveer tightly.

Rey- Rajveer bhai...main toh darr hi gaya tha....mujhe laga ki....

Then he looked at his front and his eyes widened in too much shock..

Rey- bhabs......

They both were looking at each other with too much shock. Rajveer followed Reyansh's expression and he looked back at naina...

Raj- tum dono kya ek dusre ko jaante ho???

Naina don't know what to do. Her mind was not working properly. What if Veransh is also here? She started to take backsteps and immediately she bumped into someone's chest and she looked back...

"Yeh yedi, dekh ke chal"

Naina- sorry vo.....maine dekha nhi.....

She looked at his face. His face is quite familiar. But she can't remember where she has seen him.

But alekh remembers her properly. His eyes were popped out in shock.

Alekh- yeh....tu vohi hai na...us amir admi ki biwi....kya nam tha uska....ha....yaad aya... Veransh Singh Shikhawat.....
