Soooo sorry for the long delay I would like to blame my university and my workplace as neither are giving me any time to write properly! But hopefully I will have another part for you before the weekend! This is the last bit that will be setting it up, and next part we'll be getting on to the real beginning of the story! Yay! So let me know if you like it, because if I get more replies, I'll write faster, hehehe
"And Captain Rajveer is with me"
Those words haunted him even now when he was possibly about to die.
God knows he had tried to stop loving her. He had thought that after she told him she didn't love him it would become easier, but it just became worse. Dreaming of her he would wake up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat. Instead of being thankful that she didn't love him, he started thinking of how he could make her love him.
But the eyes of the entire academy were on them, and the only reason they weren't under suspicion was because Dr Mishra had saved them.
He tried to behave normally with Naina again, but it was difficult when he knew everyone was watching them. It was even more difficult when he couldn't keep his own damn heart under control.
He was sure that Dr Shalini had guessed the truth, but she was doing her best to pretend that she didn't know. Dr Shalini knew that Raj's feelings for Naina would be disastrous, so she was trying to convince him to accept Dr Mishra, even as his own heart was breaking. While he tried to ignore his feelings for Naina he had to deal with Huda trying to win her over, and Dr Mishra trying to convince him of her love. It was almost too much for him to bear.
Finally it was the 26th of January and he faced his biggest test of all, to sit with her parents and pretend that everything was normal. It was easy enough at first, he just had to introduce himself. But then Naina smiled at him and it did funny things to his inside. Even while he smiled back and her parents smiled at him he couldn't stop the guilt that was building up inside him.
'Yes they're smiling at you right now' he told himself 'they respect you as their daughter's mentor. But if they really knew what lay in your heart, what thoughts run through your head about their daughter, and more precisely what it was that you'd like to do to with her, then they'd be slapping you instead.' He was almost glad when Dr Mishra arrived, and Naina's mother left the room hurriedly, just so that he could leave them before he broke under the pressure of trying to pretend he wasn't doing anything wrong.
Then he had heard the words.
"And Captain Rajveer is with me".
There was so much trust in them, she knew that he'd never leave her, that he'd fight with her until the very end. But how could he when what he really wanted would ruin her life?
How could he support her when if she knew the truth about him, she'd never want to see his face again.
And now it had come to that, Naina knew the truth about him, that he'd killed her brother. And she hated him, he was sure of it. In the end she hadn't shot him as she'd chosen to put the mission first, but he knew that she'd wanted to and he didn't blame her.
The bullet from Dr Mishra hadn't stopped them from taking the triggers to safety and once the rest of the cadets had arrived they had been able to do so. Now Dr Mishra had been taken into custody and he was about to be taken to hospital but he didn't know if it would be too late or not.
He had lost a lot of blood and he was having trouble keeping his eyes open, he felt like he was going delirious.
As they loaded him into the ambulance he called out suddenly, "Wait, please, I want to talk to Naina first."
She came to him reluctantly, with a look on her face that said she'd rather be somewhere far away from him but she bent down to hear his words anyway.
"Naina," he whispered "I'm so sorry, I should've told you before now but I didn't want to lose you…I…" he stops himself before it's too late, it's better if she doesn't know.
"Naina I know I can't expect you too but I hope you'll forgive me one day. Believe me that I never wanted to kill Navin, it'll haunt me for the rest of my life. But if you forgive me then I might be able to gain some peace."
He sees Alekh watching them, his face is blank but Raj is sure that he understands. Alekh has always said little and understood much.
She is silent, and a hundred emotions cross her face in one second. The medics continue loading him into the ambulance.
Finally Naina speaks. "Sir," she says "It'll take me some time."
They shut the ambulance doors and he can no longer see her, but Raj can't stop himself from giving a small sigh of relief. He can wait.

"I've forgiven you, sir, but I don't know if we'll ever be as close as we were again. I've lost my trust in you and I don't know how I'll get it back".
He would've gladly died to regain her trust, so what was the harm in sacrificing his one chance of happiness for it?
