She ran laughing like Rajveer, imitating him, and he ran to catch her……and Shalini laughed standing in the dining room.

"Rukko….rukkko….tum…."

"Ha…Ha….Ha…..Ha….."

"…ande aur doodh….rukko….abhi pakadta hoon…."

"He..he…he….he…he…..Major Bhargaaaav…….."

"Kya…..kya kaha tumne….."

"Majooor Bhaaargav to yahi khate the…..High in protein…..he..he…"

"Protien…? Mujhe protein khilaogi….!!"

And she caught her in the garden laon….she fell and he stumbled next to her….both landing on the cold-moist grass. He caught her by wrist which he held at her back and turned it….

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa……….', Naina yelled.

"Eeeeeeeeiiiiiiiishhhh!! [making a face and putting fingers in his ears> Chillao mat!"

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa……to haath chodo….."

"Mujhe ande-aur-doodh khilaogi?"

"Haaa….Major Bhargav to yehi khate the…"

He turned her hand still harder.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaa……Mamaaaaaaaaaaa………."

"Protien food…hmmmm…..?"

"Maamaaaaaaa……", Naina started pretending to cry like a baby.

"Ab bolo, ande khilaogi?"

"Naaahiiin!"

"Pancake banenge?"

"Haaaaaaaaaaaan…….."

"Aur main Major Bhargav hoon??"

"Nahiiiin…..aaaaaaaa……"

He left her hand…and expected her to quickly turn and run away…..but Naina knew better….

She turned, with a weird look in her eyes, that Rajveer couldn't comprehend. She said in a dreamy, different tone….

"Raj…."

"Hmmm?", Rajveer was surprised at her sudden change in behavour.

"Suno", she sat on her heels and close to him….touching his forhead tenderly with a finger, and moving it slowly down….

"Hmmm….", he was trying to figure out what was going on….

Shalini standing at the back-door of the house raised her eyebrows….

"W o h….", she moved closer

"Haan….", she was too much, Raj was mesmerised….completely taken in…..

"W o h ek baat kehni thi…."

"Haaa….", he said equally dreamy.

"W o h….", she moving closer.

"Hmmm…"

"W o h tum….", said Naina moving still closer….Now ther were inches away….Raj was lost in her new look.

"Hmmm…."

"Tum…", she said… "…tum….MAJOR BHAARAV HO……..", she actually yelled, and quickly got up and ran towards the house….

"..Aur Mogambo ko ande hi milenge…..", she said running into the house at top speed!

Rajveer came back….huh? what?….he he….she had done it again….outwitted him….and how he loved it…..made him sooo proud…..a wide grin broke on his face….but to maintain the mood….he baught a sullen expression…..and walked towards Shalini.

Shalini was looking at him….bemused….suppressing her laughter….

"W oh….w oh…w oh to maine use jaane diya….bachhi samaj ke chood diya….", he said in an unconvincing tone.

This was too much….Shalini burst out laughing….and then making a false-serious face…and laughing and giggling at the same time….

"Hmmm…hmmm….haan haan Major…."

"Haso…haso…Doc…Khoob haso…."

"Waise ek baat to kahungi Major…aapki yeh Cadet aapke hi petre aap par hi aazma rahi hai…..to main aapko aapki hi ek baat yaad dilaadoon….", but before Shalini could continue.…Naina yelled aloud from the kitchen, teasingly…..

"….yahi…ki Major, DUSHMAN KO KABHI KAMZOR NAHIN SAMAJNA CHAHIYE….."
