ello Dr. Shalini"

"Kya baat hai Naina aaj kafi ache mood mein lag rahi ho. Lagta hai abhi tak you haven't come out of party mood. Waise kal ki drive kaisi rahi?"

"Woh bhi bata doongi but before that I am hungry.I was thinking saath mein lunch karte hain"

"Good idea. Just gimme 5 minutes."

"Sure. Tab tak main ek call karke aati hoon"

Saying this Naina turned to leave the room. She took out her mobile.

"Oh Damn!! Mere mobile ki to battery down hai. Ma'am can I use your phone. Mujhe Huda ko call karna tha.Do you mind?"

"Certainly not.Here, take this"

"Thanks Ma'am. I am just outside." Saying this Naina hurriedly left the room. Naina opened the phone book and scrolled down looking for a name. She finally found that name. She checked that number. It was a local number. She was right. He was back......... Back in her life. He has been protecting her. The name was 'LC Raj'. Lieutenant Colonel Rajveer Singh Shekhawat. The hazy figure she saw in the dark that night has now come clearly in front of her eyes. It was Bunty.

 

While talking to Huda last night she remembered Bunty as she mentioned food. He was the best cook of KMA afterall. She knew it was Bunty whom she had heard. Bunty's presence in Ambala rose a doubt in her mind that may be Rajveer is also around. Shalini had also told her that two men brought her to the hospital. And if he is, then how does he know about all her plans and whereabouts. She kept pondering over this the whole night and reached on a conclusion that there was just one person who knew about all her plans well in advance....Dr. Shalini, Rajveer's Best Friend. He could have sought all information about her from Shalini. That wasn't a difficult task for him.

 

Naina hurriedly noted down Rajveer's number and made a short call to Huda. Meanwhile Shalini also came out of the infirmary. Naina returned her phone.

"Ma'am  you do one thing. Aap chaliye main abhi apna phone charge pe laga ke aati hoon. I'll just join you"

"Okay, but come soon"

Naina rushed to her room. She was in pain. She didn't expect this thing to happen. "Why just him in this whole world?" She wanted it to be a nightmare that will be over as she wakes up from her sleep. But she knew it was not. Somehow she managed to get a grip over herself. She returned to canteen where Shalini was waiting for her.She behaved as if everything was perfectly like before and she is still ignorant of Rajveer's presence in Ambala. They talked about last evening, Huda, and other girly stuffs. She was still unsure how should she react to this.

 

After a hectic day at Kanchanjunga Military Academy which has been emotionally taxing for her as well, she left in the evening to join Huda for dinner. She was still lost in her own thoughts trying to overcome from the shock of Rajveer's return. Huda noticed that she was upset. But he didn't ask her anything. He wanted her to share her problems with him but didn't make the first move. He waited Naina to tell him what was bothering her so badly. But she didn't.

 

Naina was not her usual self... It has been three days and Huda noticed the same despair and sadness on her face. He ran out of patience now.

"Naina hua kya hai tujhe? Pichle teen dinon se main dekh raha hoon tu kahin aur hi rehti hai. Baat kya hai Naina?"

"Baat... kya baat...kuch bhi to nahin hai."

"Theek hai Naina tujhe nahin batana hai to mat bata. Lekin ek baat yaad rakh. Jab tak tu problem se bhagne ki koshish karti rahegi woh problem tera peecha karti rehegi lekin jab tu ruk ke uska saamna karegi na to woh problem khud tujhse door bhaag jaayegi. Don't run away from your problems Naina...face it."

"I think you are right Huda but kabhi kabhi yeh sab itna aasan nahin hota jitna lagta hai."

"Jaanta hoon Naina lekin yeh bhi jaanta hoon ki mushkilon ko aasan karne ki himmat hai tujmein."

She looked at him in surprise. 'Words of Wisdom'…coming from Huda!!! That was something surprising indeed. She believed he was the last person on this earth to talk about such heavy things. But that brought a smile on her face.

"Thanx Huda...Thanx a lot...I'll see you later.Byee"

Saying this Naina got up and left
