Part Thirteen :
They remained silent for God knows how long...Holding onto each other tightly....speaking volumes in silence'..and Raj broke the silence''
"Ab andar chale''..sab humara intezaar kar rahe honge. kahi aisa naa ho ki sab bahar aajaye..."
And she nodded happily'..
They came back to the academy hand in hand''
Everyone expected them to return like that only''.
Huda, Aalekh, Shalini were waiting for them''
Aalekh was the happiest!
His Rajveer Sir was back !
He was no more an orphan as his Mentor has returned and...... His sister will get her true love.....
Finally, things were falling on tracks....
Huda's case was no different.....
He remembered how Rajveer showed him the right path when he was mislead by terrorists.......
It was him who taught huda not only to be a good soldier but also a good person !.....
It was Him who taught huda meaning of True Love......
Shalini was overwhelmed with emotions....
Her only Best Friend, her true well wisher was back.....
She was the one who knew the feelings he held for Naina right from the beginning....She had seen him in pain.....
Now she was happiest person in world as her true friend got his Love and was happy.
They smiled looking at Rajveer''.
He had told them everything about that happened with him in those months''
And they didn't forget to tell pooja,ali and yudi about Rajveer's return''
All three of them were calling at frequent intervals as they wanted to hear him....
Pooja was the Lucky one who got to speak Rajveer first!
"Shahruuuukhhhh !!", she let out a loud shriek which could be heard even by those sitting nearby Raj and he laughed.....
"Mera matlab hai shah...nahi ssir captai....nahi rajveer captai...i mean...reporting...ghai ...noooo....." ,she was just to happy to speak properly....
" Cadet Ghai...", Raj took the charge understanding her plight.
And she started crying.
"Arre....meri heer ro rahi hai?", he tried to lighten the situation.
"Aap...aap kaise ho sir...?"
"Hmmmm....very bad pooja....Verrry verry bad ! main yaha itne dinon baad aaya hoon aur aap ho ke phone pe haal chaal pooch rahi hai? Not fair...."
She laughed," oye aap dekhiye toh sir, ye call finish hone se pehle yeh missed call aapke saamne hongi."
"Cade..i mean Lft.Ghai", pride in voice as he uttered the word Lft.," Aap proper leave leke aana...aur koi...."
"Don't worry sir.....aapse milne ke liye mujhe in missed cals ko kitne bhi request ke sms kyu na bhejne pade...mein bhejungi. Aur haa...mein aapki cadet hi hoon....aaj bhi !....waise aapke muh se Heer zyada achcha lagta hai....provided aapki ZAARA ko(meaning Naina, which he immediately got) koi problem naa ho toh!." ,she teased.
"See you soon, pooja.", embarrassed Rajveer ended the call.
Next was Ali....
He didnt speak a word, was just listening to the voice he longed to hear all those months....to believe his Rajveer sir was back.
Rajveer held a place equal to his parents in his life and that horrible incident had badly affected him.
While Rajveer could hear only his sobs, but understood very well what Ali spoke in silence.
"Hmmm....lagta hai Lft.Baig humse baat nahi karna chahte....Is that the respect you show your seniors Lft.Baig?", Rajveer spoke in mock anger.
Ali laughed a little and only said ," Hum jald se jald leave lekar aapse milne aa rahe hai sir..."
"I'm waiting..."
Yudi was a different case altogether...
He was crying , laughing , shouting , complaining , thanking all at once !!
While he was blabbering Rajveer intervened , " I hope to see you soon yudi..."
" Sure sir ! You know what sir..? they have to grant me leave or i'll run away without one. At max they will suspend me for a week or two....well that's even better as i'll have more time to spend with you !"
Rajveer just shook his head in disbelief ! His cadets are never going to change !
Then he made a call and waited to be answered.
" Hello..." , a royal voice answered on the other end which now had sadness in it.
" Chauhan saab..."
" Raj !?", came a loud shriek,"....Raj aap ...aap bol rahe ho?"
"Haan Chauhan....main KMA se bol raha hoon... Naveen ki begunaahi ke sabooton ke saath...."
"Raj...raj...raj...", Abhimanyu could utter this much only , through his tears.
Then Raj spoke mischeivously," Chauhan saab iss yug mein bhi Abhimanyu Chakravyuh nahi bhed paya ! Aur haan aaj bhi mein hi aapse best hoon..... toh kya kehte hai ? Ho jaaye do-do haath hunting ground parr ?"
Abhimanyu laughed and said ," Aap haar jaaoge Raj..."
"Lagta hai tum bhool gaye... pichli baar bhi mainhi jeeta tha..."
"Ab aapka lucky charm refree hoga, toh hum thodehi naa jeet payenge! "
"Chauhaan, tum bhi naa.... woh toh iss baar bhi refree hogi !"
"Hum bass aa rahe hai aapse milne."
They all went in mess.
Suriji was so happy to see Raj back.
He hugged Raj tightly shedding tears and then began doing Bhangda! Not to forget, food was for free in mess that day !
They all sat there chatting....There was lot to catch up on...
While chatting Raj didnt let go of Naina's hand even for a second ! for which she received lot of teasing.
Raj was stealing glances of her which she chose to ignore as already everybody was teasing her a lot. Then he tightened the grip on her hand making her look at him .
While they were chatting happily in the mess''.an orderly came
"Naina madam''aapka phone''Captain Rahul ne kiya hai"
The reality dawned to her...'All this while she forgot about Rahul completely.'.She was engaged, she looked at her fingers''
She shivered out of fear and Aalekh knew what was going with her, what she exactly felt'
"Naina, kya hua???" Raj asked concerned'
"Aap baatein kariye, Apun Naina ke saath call attend kar ke aata hai'."
He took Naina with him , while she looked helplessly towards Aalekh'..
They came near the corridor'..
She started crying, sobbing on his shoulders'..
"Aalekh, kaise batau unko???? Kaise??? Kya kahenge woh? Ki maine unka intezaar nahi kiya? Agar unhone mujhe nahi samjha toh?"
"Ro maat naina, sab theek ho jayega'..Ab kuch galat nahi hoga...Tu Rahul ko sab bata de....Ab tere aur Sir ke bich koi nahi aa sakta...."
"Guys, yeh Rahul kaun hai? And why Naina was reacting like that?" he asked looking towards them'
Huda and shalini looked at each other and shalini decided to take over the charge'
"Captain''.kya hum aapke kamare mein baat kar sakte hai." She asked him..
"Haan''.lekin baat kya hai????" he grinned looking at them'.
"I think we should talk in the room" and he sensed some seriousness in her tone.
"fine."
He sat on the couch with Dr.shalini sitting on the exact opposite couch.
"Ca'.ptain'I'.I'.. know you would be really shocked to hear this but''." She grew tense and it was impossible for her to do the work'..
"Go ahead Shalini, I am listening" He consoled her..
"Captain....please try to understand....the situation was ..you know..."
"Shalini....how can I as long as you tell me? "
"Captain''Rahul''"
"yaaaaaa"
"He is '''.He is''.Naina's fiancee" ........
