Part 5
All day Naina had been wondering where Rajveer Sir had gone to, she wished that she'd had a chance to ask him.
"Tu kyun itna pareshan ho?" she asks herself "He has his own life, it's not your business where he goes to." But she still couldn't help worrying after the look she'd seen on his face this morning.
Naina restlessly glanced at her watch for the third time in five minutes as Lolita Ma'am droned on about some historical facts that only Ali ever seemed to find interesting. She was counting down the minutes until the class ended so that she could go and see if Captain Rajveer had arrived back yet. Lolita Ma'am's class was the last of the day, so after this she would be free to try to find out where Rajveer Sir had gone. But the thought annoyed her, why was she thinking about him so much? Even if he was in some trouble then why should she be worried about that? He was the man who had killed her brother, the man who had lied to her for months when she had trusted him.
But as much as she tried to, she couldn't hate him. Instead when she thought about him a confusion filled her heart and she couldn't decide what it was she felt about him. Not hate, but not…No, never that.
The bell finally rang and Naina raced out of the classroom, ignoring Pooja's calls to wait. She was heading towards Captain Rajveer's office when an orderly stopped her.
"Cadet Naina Singh? You have a call."
Naina felt annoyed that she wouldn't be able to check if Captain Rajveer was back yet, but nodded at the orderly anyway and headed towards the phone.
"Hello?" she said, picking it up.
"Naina beti," it was her father's voice.
"Baba? Aap Kaisi ho? Why did you call?"
"We need to talk to you about something serious, Naina," her father continued.
"Sure, Baba, Kya hai?" Naina answered, trying to sound relaxed but feeling more and more nervous with every second. It couldn't be….
"I never thought you would hide something so big from us, beti." Her father said, disappointment clear in his voice.
"Kya? What have I hidden from you?" She prayed to god that her parents hadn't found out the truth somehow, but how could they have, unless…
"You found out who killed your brother and you never told us? Why did you hide it from us, beti? Why didn't you tell us it was Captain Rajveer?"
It was at that moment that he walked through the entrance to KMA and Naina saw him. Her eyes met his and suddenly it all made sense, why he'd left early in the morning, why he had looked at her so sadly.
The phone fell from her hand, hitting against the side of the desk with a thud.
She was vaguely aware of the sound of her father's voice on the other end of the line.
Naina stared at Captain Rajveer in shock. Why had he told her parents that it was him? Didn't he know that even though she had forgiven him, they never would? Didn't he care that they hated him now?
Rajveer stared back at Naina, not sure why she was looking at him with such shock in her eyes and then he spotted the phone hanging loosely by its cord. In a few short steps he reached Naina's side, picked up the phone and put it back into her hands, his fingers briefly brushing hers.
Then he walked quickly away.
"Baba…" Naina said so softly that she was already whispering.
"Naina, tu kaha thi, main kabse tujko bulaye."
"Baba I'm sorry, I never meant to…"
"It's okay beti, we don't blame you. We know that you must have been trying to protect us from it. But listen to me, it's better if you stay away from Captain Rajveer from now on, you can't trust him anymore."
Her father said goodbye and hung up the phone while Naina was left staring blankly at the receiver.
How wrong her father was. Captain Rajveer's action had brought back her lost trust in him. He had sacrificed his own reputation and honour in order to tell her parents the truth that they had wanted to know for years.
Suddenly Naina felt like crying, but she couldn't figure out why. What difference did it make if her parents knew? Didn't they deserve to? And why had she hidden it from them in the first place?
Was it that she didn't want them to know because…because she hadn't wanted them to hate the Captain, but why? What was the reason for that?
Suddenly Naina wasn't so sure that she wanted to know the answer to that question.
