Chapter 6

Part 7:
 
Meanwhile here all of them reached the basecamp unable to find her.Everyone was worried about naina at first thinking that Raj will find her anyway.But as time went, they started worried about both- Raj & naina.

pooja tried with her mobile to Raj as he was having nandini's mobile, but the signal was out of her reach.
she tried for every 10 seconds, cursing the signal.

The rest of the cadets were sent back to KMA in the bus and jeep was left for these people to leave as soon as Raj-Naina came.pooja & their gang decided to wait in the basecamp for Raj-naina.

                        * * *

Raj rushed to naina thanking to god that she wassafe."naina! what happened to u? why r u doing this?what if something happened to u?"

"why r u bothered about me? just leave me alone" she replied coldly.

"For god's sake, stop it naina . u know how much i care about u.Now stop this & let us go back."

" u go back to ur nandini. I am not coming with u" she snapped.

"Naina ! Me & Nandini r just ..". she did not allow him to complete the sentence."Don't try to make me believe that u both r friends. I saw what is there between u with my own eyes.Why did u do this? i stayed away from u because I am afraid that if anything happens to u again because of me, I can't bear it. But I am not able to see u with.. she could not complete the sentence as she was choked with tears reflecting her pain.she clucthed his collar and was repeating " why did u do this?" sobbing .

Raj hugged her fiercely placing his arms around her. At first, she struggled to seperate from him.Them she gave up and hugged him back with equal force.The moonlight was glowing on them as if blessing the two passionate true lovers. Time seemed to stop for them. Nothing was heard to them not even the sounds in the jungle nor the flow of waterfall except their heartbeats.

raj cupped her face with his hands & looked into her eyes." why can't u see me with another girl?"

"Because I..I..love you " she whispered unable to control her emotions.But he heard it.
The words which he was dying to hear all these years, the words added a new life to him.

"Believe me naina. I never loved any girl except u. I love you . nandini & me r just friends."

As she heard the name of nandini, realization dawned on her.she turned to her previous state " I don't believe u.she is ur first love and u can't forget her. Go back to her & be happy. stay away from me." and she turned away from him.

"why don't u believe me dammit? "he turned her towards him by catching her shoulders. suddenly the phone rang.

The moment was interrupted by the ringing of the mobile.
He received the call. It was pooja."Thank God! we finally got ur signal. where r u sir? did u find naina?"

"yes. she is there with me. we will come as quickly as possible"

"okay sir! we will be waiting for u both. Take care" and she disconnected.

Naina wiped her tears & took her backpack "shall we go?"
"Just listen to me once"Raj pleaded.

"I don't want to hear anything right now" and she moved.

Raj who was hurt by her behaviour followed her. All the way they remained silent & reached the basecamp.

Everybody who were waiting for them eagerly went to them & by seeing the faces of Raj-naina guessed something serious must have happened.

In the morning, they travelled back to KMA in the jeep. naina remained silent throughout the journey & did not talk even with her friends.

They went to their normal routine.Pooja tried to ask naina many times about that night but the answer was same "Don't talk about it."

whenever she met Raj in the corridor or at canteen, she avoided him.These happened for a week.

As it was time for classes, nobody were there in canteen. Naina arrived late for breakfast. she took the plate but she was not eating lost in her own thoughts.
Her thoughts were interuupted when she felt a hand on her shoulder.

she was surprised to see that the person was nandini."hi naina !"
"Hi!" she replied back formally.

"my duty is completed here. I am leaving today. Before leaving, i wanted to meet u & also invite for my wedding on next month" & she handed a wedding card.

"wedding? Naina was shocked. she opened the card & was shocked to see the names "Abhimanyu?"

" u r going to marry Abhimanyu? what about Raj then?"

Nandini was shocked."Me & Raj r just friends. It was true i was intersted in him during my academy days. But later i realised it was not love . I love only Abhimanyu & Raj loves u so much"

"But i saw u both hugging each other & he proposed to u"

Nandini laughed."so, u thought we were in love.Actually what happened was.."
