Chapter 27 - Epilogue:

Luckily, the army agrees with them and grants everybody two weeks leave. It's not as much as they'd hoped for, but nobody is willing to argue in case it's taken away. Priya fits into the group of friends easily, and she looks forward to spending the next two weeks with them, getting to know them better.

After the two weeks are over, Naina will finally be joining her duty, many months after she was originally supposed to. She has mixed feelings about it after everything she's endured, but in the end it was always her goal. Huda has requested a transfer to Ladakh so that he can be with his friends, and it has been approved. From there he plans to write letters to Priya and call her every week, slowly winning her over. This time he's determined to take his time before telling her his feelings, he's learnt from the mistakes he made when he was in love with Naina.

Naina is going to become Priya's new partner. After she managed to successfully evade capture for so many months, headquarters has decided that they need somebody like her to chase fugitives. Naina is happy to accept the job for now because Raj will also be temporarily posted at headquarters, to ensure that all of the traitors have been found, and that any problems they have created will be fixed. He will also be helping to prepare the case against Gehlot and his comrades.

Pooja and Ali's parents are finally able to hold their engagement, and they organise it in a hurry, afraid that something else might happen to delay it. Since everybody is already in Delhi, they hire a hall there for the occasion, and it's the celebration that everybody has been waiting for. Along with relatives and family friends, most of their old batchmates and teachers from KMA attend, with the exception of Major Nair who sends his apologies much to everybody's relief. BC isn't able to attend either, but promises to make it to their wedding.

The whole night is filled by dancing and fun. Raj and Naina stay by each others' sides for most of the evening, and even when they're apart they keep glancing at each other and exchanging smiles. Huda drags Priya to the dance floor even though she refuses, and manages to get her to dance with him. Anybody watching them could clearly see that Priya's refusals aren't too strong and she agrees to join him rather quickly.

Ali and Pooja are both ecstatic, it's a double celebration for them, first for their long awaited engagement and secondly, for a reunion between friends and the pardoning of Naina, Raj, Alekh and Yudi along with the proving of Navin's innocence. As soon as the engagement is over, their parents start planning their wedding, deciding to hold it in about six months when everybody will be eligible for leave again.

Yudi is disappointed that Alekh and Neelu haven't decided to get engaged or married yet, but he accepts their decision. He knows that they need to do things in their own time, both of them fiercely independent.

Naina's parents want to hold a large engagement and wedding for her and Raj, but she flat out refuses. All that matters to her is that they're finally married and she's not willing to wait for a large party to be organised. She explains to her family that she doesn't want any large celebration, it's enough for them to just get married in front of their friends and family.

Naina's parents are so thankful just to have her back in one piece and to finally have their son's innocence proven, that they give in. Three days after Ali and Pooja's engagement, Naina and Raj very quietly get married in a temple, surrounded by those that they love the most. Although Naina's sari is simple, and she is only wearing minimal jewellery and makeup, it is the glow on her face that makes her the most beautiful bride that anybody has ever seen.

When her parents bring her to the mandap, Raj can barely take his eyes off her, and when they place her hand in his, he holds it tightly, making a promise to himself that he'll never allow them to be separated again. As their guests watch them take the pheres, most of them have tears in their eyes.

When Raj places the mangalsutra around Naina's neck and puts the sindoor in her hair, a feeling of completeness settles over both of them. If it wasn't for all their friends and family watching, he would've kissed her right then, but Raj knows that he has more than enough time to do that. They have their whole lives together in front of them, and he knows that with Naina by his side, he can handle whatever challenges life throws their way.

As Naina and Raj accept the congratulations of their family and friends, Naina considers the past few months of her life and how much has changed within that short time frame. All of those months ago she had disappeared, with only an incomplete plan and an intention to save Raj and prove her brother innocent.

Naina suddenly realises that she's incredibly thankful her original plan didn't work out, if it had then perhaps today she would be standing here with the wrong man.

Instead, everything has worked out much better than she ever could have planned or imagined.

Gazing into Raj's eyes, Naina knows that she's exactly where she's meant to be, with exactly the right person. She believes that everything they've been through was intended to lead up to this exact moment in time, this exact outcome.

It's fate, pure and simple.

It's the perfect happy ending.
