Chapter 13
"Kuch nahin….yunhi…."
Raj laughed out the matter but he knew that he cannot hide this things from Naina for long…..and would have to tell her…..Naina was one of the bravest soldier he had come across, and took every mission assigned to her very bravely, intelligently and enthusiastically……but somehow, when it came to his missions…..she used to get very upset!
He was posted…..on a mission….and he had to leave the town with a few days…..leaving Naina all alone…..
His heart ached, all night….as he hugged her to sleep….and as he reasoned Naina to have her glass of milk over half an hour….with Naina moaning, and yelling, and being irritation…..like a kid…..
……..he knew things were going to be change……soon…..everything….everything is going to change for him…..for Naina…..
But…..
…….what he did not know, was the telephone call Naina had received……….
"Hello"
"Colonel Sinha, speaking…."
"Captain Shekhawat, Sir"
"Ah! Naina….how are you doing? How was the wedding?"
"Really good Sir", she knew it was coming.
"You really needed that break, Captain. And your workaholic husband too…he he…ah….and now…."
"Yes Sir?"
"Now a mission awaits you…"
"Yes Sir!", she said, her voice ringing with determination and enthusiasm.
"Excellent, Capatain! Then, Tommorrow, 1100hrs, my cabin."
"Sir!"
"Good Night, Captain Naina!"
"Good Night, Sir!"
The call was disconnected in a click…..but it reconnected Naina to the world of arms….of bravery….of duty….of that proud green uniform…..the world of Raj and Naveen….the world where she truly belonged!!
She saw the same glint of pride in Rajveer's eyes, as he saw her dressing up in her deep-green army uniform….that she had seen many times…..that was her driving force….the glint that she saw as she saluted Major Nair in the Temperature Chamber during Dr.Shalini's test….as she shot the terrorist in the bus…..as she went on the rescue mission…..as she looked at him after they proved Naveen innocent….as she denied to accept Naveen guilty in the KMA hearing……as she bravely faught in the Army court for justice….as she held the 'Best Cadet' trophy with Aalekh…..as she descended the steps, looking divine in a white lahenga on their wedding day……….she saw it again….and that gave her warmth….and support….even without a word of comfort from him…..
The routine of the Shekhawat household had begun again…..cutting down a little bit on childish games, flirting, masti and the Tom & Jerry fights!
The regular high calorie breakfast had an addition of a full glass of milk with honey, to Naina's annoyance. Par apne mantor ke aage uski kahan chalti hai…..
…..he held up her nose by two fingers…closing it…..and poured in the milk as she yelled and groaned….and moaned….for mercy!
He had not told her yet…..he couldn't get enough of her smile, the sparkle of her eyes, her giggles that encourage him to tease her evermore, her wet hair, as she stepped out of the shower, which she regularly used to shower droplets of water on her gaping husband…..who used to get irritated, as by the he is all ready….
The drive to the office was quiet…..both were quiet….trying to hide their secrets.
She glanced at her watch. This was it! It was time! She wiped out the emotions of Mrs."Naina"…..and stepped into the shoes, of Captain Naina Singh Shekhawat…..
'Knock'
"Come in….", a voice called out.
She stepped in.
"Good!", there sat Colonel Sinha, Naina's superior, a father figure, who was a teacher and a guide to her!
"Good Morning Sir!"
"Aah….Naina…..sehat sudhar gayee hai…..good good….."
She smiled.
"Haan…..to ab kaam ki baat…."
Naina listened attentively, taking in the minutest of the details. She was told everything, about her mission, her job there….and was told that she was to leave the following day.
'Raj ko to ab batana padega….", she thought, seeing that she had no other alternative…'Shayad usko pata ho….", thinking as he is a senior officer now!
She walked up to her Cabin…..bidding 'G'morning's to many of her colleagues. Naina was indeed one of the most popular officers……
"Helo"
"Naina….", his voice was not normal.
"Ahh…Maj….oops…Colonel…..to ab waqt mila aapko….", she spoke to him, as she gave finishing touches to the little research work she always did before setting off on a mission, trying to sound cool, and normal.
"Naina….this is urgent. I have been assigned an important mission. I am in a hurry, so will give you the details later. I am on my way to the destination…."
It took Naina a few seconds to understand what he just said…..Raj…..on a mission….itni jaldi main?…..kahan?…..kyun?……kya ho raha hai…..?
But soon, the soldier in her made her take a grip of herself….she pushed back the emotions…..and behaved like a true soldier…..responding to the circumstances she was thrown into….
"Yes, Raj…..All the best!"
"Thanks….."
"Raj…..(her voice became soft)….Take care!"
Rajveer knew what she was going through….but that was life…..life of a soldier……they were not allowed to giving up….or quiting….
For a minute both were quiet on the phone….none spoke…..
It was almost when Naina was disconnecting the call….
"Captain….."
"Hmm….", unable to understand Rajveer's tone…..it was tender…..actually she was shaken….by it!
"I love you!"
She giggled…..
"…and you know how I hate you.…."
She herd a slight laugh….the two always found something to laugh…..something that would lift up their spirits even in the worst of the times….
….and then….both said together….
"JaiHind!"

[QUOTE=yoginisahakari]where are u dear pl update[/QUOTE]"Good Morning, Bro….""Good Morning!", Yudi was pacing in her room, as she got up, confused!"Tumhe office nahin jana?", she asked wondering why is her not in the office by now!"Mujhe nahin…..humein…..get up Neelu!""Huh? Humein? Kahan?""That's not important! I have got Fifi to pack your things. Kiddo's waiting in the hall……Common now, buck up!!""Wha!", but before she made further queries, he hurriedly walked out of the room.The friends spent the days together……..relaxing, hanging around, shopping, teasing, giggling and laughing……..it truly felt like the old days……..************************************************************************************************0000HRS :: THE BEGH RESIDENCE. KANPUR"Nai….", Raj wanted to wake her up to wish her…..but as he turned towards her…..and saw her sleeping like a child…..peacefully…..a gentle smile on her lips….her hair falling on her face, carelessly…..cuddling deep into the comforts of her warm blanket and clutching it tightly….…..then slowly he put his hand on her head….ad caressed her hair lovingly…..feeling her silky hair through his fingers…..wondering how he had spent those days…..when all this, seemed…..like a beautiful dream…..She felt his touch ad opened her eyes. But before she could say something, he put his hand on her mouth."Happy Birthday….", he whispered in her ears.Still not removing his hand from her mouth, he looked into those eyes that were now flooding with love and tears………he bent down as his other hand continued to caress her open hair…..tenderly kissed her on her forehead…..the her eyes…..then cheeks…..…..while she kept her eyes close……which made her look divine in that moonlit room…..she was trying to capture the feel of every passing moment in her heart forever…..…..he slowly removed his hand from her lips…..and bent still closer…..smiling at her, and looking at her pretty closed eyes…..

Chacha...." No one replied. "Oye Chacha....." He waited outside the shop for a while, and then yelled again, "Chacha..." ..............when he heard a loud CRASH ...........inside the shop/house..........as if a lot of vessels have fallen over one another........ He knew that sound. He smiled and looked down....laughing. ".........Phirni........", he muttered. "Jee...", she had walked out ...........something flamboyant and carefree in her body language, her walk, her smile.......made him stare at her for a while....... "Beautiful.....", words escaped his lips, without his knowledge, in a whisper. "Thank you", she replied. "Huh?......", he laughed aloud,"......Maahi...." "Kya? Aap bhool gaye Amar? Humne daswi class tak padhai ki hai....", she was grinning at his half bemused, half embarrassed face. "Woh.........Vitthalchacha...." "Jee woh to roz is waqt bazaar jaate hain, samaan laane." She and Huda both knew this quite well. There was a lot that was still unspoken......but both of them felt .......the strings that bond them.........together..........ans none had ever attempted to break this unspoken bond.He remembered, something that Pooja had told him, years back, as her looked at Maahi."Oye Jat", she had yelled at him, "....yeh kaisa sawal hai? Hmmmm.....dekh yeh filmi sa nuska sun, tu apni aankhein bandh karle.........aur tujhe jo bhi dikhe.........", but today, so many months.....years later........he was scared to experience it......scared....that if he saw the same face again.........that if he never saw the reflection of the girl standing opposite her...........that if he again saw the old smiling, fiery Phoolan.......which would never be replaced by anyone........Slowly, he closed his eyes, and what he saw......compelled him.........as he moved forward........towards the shop.......that cold afternoon......as the sun played hide-and-seek with clouds.....as his departure from this remote village

She flipped through the pages of the latest edition of 'India Today', sitting quietly in her bed. Raj had just walked out to fetch some lunch for them."Kaisi hai?""Huh?", she looked uo,"....ekdam tandurust!", she smiled brightly."Hmmm....", he sat on the stool next to her bed."Kya baat hai?""Huh?....Kuch nahin....."There was a silence.....both knew what it said......both unwilling to talk about it....think about it......they shared that memory....that dread......painfully....."Aaj....""....woh...Rajveer sir....""Kis se bhagega tu.........aur kab tak?""Naina .......woh.....doctor ko kuch kaam tha....main abhi.....", he attempted to get up and leave.....attempted to avoid the conversation.....attempted to escape the mention.......but......Naina held his hand....in a tight grip....He looked at her helplessly..........."Tu bhooli hai kya kuch?"........her grip on his hand loosend involunteerily.........and finally let it go.....he was right........did she ever managed to forget.....anything??She stared at him........tears.........brimming in her big.......beautiful eyes!****************************************************************************************************************************************"Oye missed call", she was yelling from the other side of the phone,".....tenu pata hai....do din se....DO din se....tu out of reach hai!!!!""Arre...""Kya arre!!!! ......main yahaan se kabki tera no. try kar rahi ho...........aur yeh TV wale...najane kya kya bata rahe hai..........""Pooja....suniye to....""........fikar hoti hai na Ali!", he voice broke down nearing a sob!"Pooja....pooja....hum jante hain....magar....aap suniye to....""Bol na!""Aap bolne de kahan rahi hain?""Huh?.....kya...main....woh...."He stood grinning.....he knew her expression from kilometers away from here.....she had not changed....not even a bit....and he was glad....of that!.......he slowly told her everything that happend!****************************************************
