Hola buddies .Its an update day.See i kept my words. CHAPTER 2
"They would be here any moment.Come on lets go"
Ranveer said, anxiously pacing from one end to another while Rudra was comfortably lying on his bunk bed.Rudra opened his one eye at him and stared him from top to bottom.Neat uniform, perfectly ironed, crisp.
"Why would I go?"
Rudra question as he his procedure of inspecting him completed.
"To greet them.It won't look good on us if we ,the leaders won't greet them"
Ranveer justified himself ,feeling a bit uncomfortable under the scrutiny of Rudra's gaze.
"Wouldn't look good on us or specifically you "
Rudra concluded his eyes narrowing at Ranveer.Rudra knew what all this drama was about yet decided to torment Ranveer a bit.
" Off course your girlfriend would mind if you don't go to see her or greet her as you so eloquently put on"
"Fine.Its because of her.Now can we go"
Ranveer sighed ,he didn't want to endure another one of Rudra's teasing session ,he had enough to last a lifetime.
"If I went there alone ,it would be awkward as i would be the only senior there"
" Fine but you'll repay me this favour,whenever i ask"
Rudra made a deal with him which will only be another opportunity to tease Ranveer.Ranveer grudgingly nodded at him and motioned him to get up.Instead of getting up like Ranveer said Rudra began sniffing around and came up to Ranveer.
"Are you wearing my cologne"
Rudra spluttered in bewilderment, never in all these years he had seen Ranveer wear a cologne that too his.
"What ..no ? It fell on me"
Ranveer stammered ,his face paled.Rudra was really possessive about his colognes.It frightened him to an extend."My Bleu De Chanel "Rudra mourned.
"Fell on you!! I kept it in my bag not in drawer,Don't lie"
Rudra accused him.He wasn't really mad at Ranveer but after seeing his face he couldn't control his urge to tease him.
"My Chanel Bleu,You murderer,confess your crime"
Rudra shouted melodramatically ,jabbing his finger on Ranveer's chest
"I don't want to go with you"
"Fine don't come with me.I'll tell Prinku you were flirting with girls"
Ranveer said maintaining an innocent face
"Girls.I don't see a single girl here"
Rudra said with a tinge of fear lacing his voice.Rudra had a first hand experience of what can she do.She hates their flirting.He shuddered thinking about the time she almost clawed off his skin when he was flirting with a girl to make Soumya jealous.
"She won't believe you,You know that"
It was now Ranveer's turn to smirk, a triumph look colored his face
"Do i need to confess anything,Major?"
Ranveer asked with a raised eyebrow and a taunting tone
"No,You bully"
Rudra grumbled.
*****"And we meet again,Major"
"Ahh Romi.Long time no see"
Rudra tried to smile in her direction but it came more like a grimace.
"Off course.I do not ever wanted to see you again"
Romi chided.She downright glared at him efficiently burning a hole into his forehead.
"Stop glaring"
Rudra commanded ,his voice holding a certain amount of authority and strictness.
"We can leave all that in past right"
" You knowww"
Ranveer dragged the last part to create a suspense effect
"This conversation looks like a fight between old lovers"
" Lovers!"
Rudra spluttered, landing into a coughing fit.He narrowed his eyes at Ranveer and said
"We worked together few years ago and didn't really like each other"
"He said I can't even hold a stethoscope properly.I'd consider this as hate"
She scoffed at him.She still held grudges against him
"Ahh I see.Don't mind him, its not anything personal but he doesn't like doctors"
Ranveer clarified, he didn't like the way Romi smirked at Rudra.There was something dangerous about her maybe.
"Right"
Romi drawled not believing them at all
"Just see he doesn't speak to our leader like that.She isn't someone to be messed with"
"Leader?? But this list says there are only 6 six doctors deployed here.No mention of leader"
Ranveer questioned,remembering his previous doubts on the list.
"Well I don't know ,you should ask General about that, they seems to hold some grudges against eachother"
Romi whispered as if telling a secret, to which Ranveer just raised his eyebrow in amusement while Rudra grumbled
"That old man doesn't like me either.His face turns sour whenever he looks at me"
"Whatever i'll be setting up medical centre, she'll be here in half an hour and yeah greet her properly she might be a bit cranky as she'll be coming here direct from her previous field"
Romi instructed them, she didn't wanted them to face her wrath as much as she would love to see that.But it would only put her under stress and she didn't want that.She respected her profoundly.
"Who is she to give command? We are seniors"
Rudra whined .
"Leave it.Lets look for Priyanka"
Ranveer said absent- mindedly.He was too busy looking for Prinku.
"Prinku"
Suddenly Rudra shouted almost catching everyone's attention.
"You boyfriend is here"
Everyone ooh 'ed at them making Ranveer uncomfortable, red was creeping upto his neck.While Priyanka just winked at them.
"I could kiss you for that you know "
Priyanka chuckled.She smiles at both of them .
"What ??"
Ranveer exclaimed in shock. He frowned at Priyanka
"Dude you are whipped"
*******"Repeat"
She dictated in a cold ,medium pitched voice.Her face looked calm yet her eyes were ready to eat the person that shivering in front of her.His eyes showed sheer anxiousness and fear.
"Lt.Colonel Kapoor"
He barely spoke ,stammering a bit.
"Good"
She spoke ,her lips set in a thin line and her face void of any emotion.
"Now remember do not ever address a senior as Ms. or Mr"
" Uh"
"Did i stutter? Or you need another lesson on how to answer a Senior officer"
She scolded him.Her tempered flared up easily, it was the only thing that reminded her of her old good days that she now even refused to remember.
"No Ma'am"
The flight lieutenant noded as stiffly as he can.He clearly didn't want another frightening lesson from her.
"Now check all the safety measures and we'll be leaving to the field"
She ordered leaving no room for questions.After checking all the safety measure, they both sat into their respective places and army chopper soared high in the sky.
"What's all these papers about"
She questioned looking at the stack of papers kept in a corner
"Uh ma'am.Its a question list for interviewees"
She carefully took a paper from the stack and looked through it
Sky is the limit.Voice your opinion
" Classic Air force question"
Her lips slightly turned upwards forming a light smile on her face.
"I really hate you"
She said exaggeratedly.Her eyes were glossy, barely holding back tears.She again looked at her tear stained hand which got injured during training.Rudra who was applying ointment on it stared at her face and furrowed his eye brows.He could never understand girls.Here he was helping her while she is constantly cursing him.
"Glad We are on same page"
Rudra taunted.He saw her hand inching back ,afraid of ointment.'Huh.She is a Doctor yet afraid of medicines' Rudra thought.
"Now hold still or I am going to apply it more harshly than i intend to"
"Idiot"
She cursed him for the billionth time.While he patiently wrapped her hand with open- weave fabric along.
"Its done.Now I think you are ready fir another 200 laps"
He teased her ,flaring her temper up a notch.He liked to grill her pointlessly.
"Lieutenant Rudra.Did I hear a threat?? "
Ranveer's voice boomed through the corridor.Rudra made a weird face at him.
"Off course not ,Sir.We are just talking"
Rudra said applying a special force on the word Sir.Putting up an innocent baby face he got up and left from there, throwing him a two finger salute.
"bas***d"
Ranveer muttered causing Soumya to raise an eyebrow at him.
"Don't do that .You look funny like this"
He said trying to control his chuckle which was already on its way to escape his throat. Now he understood why Rudra loved to tease her.
"Now What I am hearing about you Cadet Kapoor.Disrespecting Seniors"
"Just like Lt. Rudra did right now"
She fired at him.A smirk gracing her features.
"We are friends"
He back fired, slightly amused by the situation.
"Then how can you assume that Rudra and I are not"
She launched yet another strong remark.While Ranveer smiled slightly at her and said
"Good.I like you"
"Ahh I like me too"
Soumya said fluttering her eyes at him
"Sassy"
He commented and looked through the paper he was holding and smirked slightly and said
"Sky is the limit"
"Huh ?"
She barely uttered looking confused with his sudden statement.
"Just comment on it.Anything, everything"
He justified , a challenging look appeared on his face.
Soumya thought for a moment that was a vague statement ,not wring but neither right.She has seen the challenging look that he was sporting and was determined to win this challenge.
"Sky is the limit but for those who wants to challenge their life at every single point Sky is a mere beginning.It could be a peak of ones dream while a beginning for other's.Its all about how we see it.There is noting wrong with both choices but it determines whether we want to a normal bird who flies in the sky or Eagle who flies above it.For me Sky is a mere beginning ,a sea full of opportunities"
She replies, sheer determination evident on her face with a tinge smugness.Ranveer noded at her ,feeling more than satisfied with her answer, his eyes showed only pride for her.
" You would have easily been selected in Air force"
He drawled out, it was his way to praise her.
"You know Rudra doesn't hate you.He is confused whether to like you because of your bold and strong up front or hate you for challenging him"
"Ma'am we are about to land.Please check your seat belt"
With that she was sucked out of her memory lane that she never wanted to visit in first place yet somehow she always managed to get stuck there.
Hope you all liked it !!
