Luv happens only once(RN)-last part,pg63(14/02) - Page 39

"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.

"Captain……Rahul……"

She kept looking at him for his reaction.

"Captain….."

He stopped her as he saw her approaching.

Shalini waited at the door……unable to hear him, she decided to leave……..

"Raj…!!!! Captain !!! Open the door !!!", she screamed.

" Open the door dammit !!!", she banged, " Are u allright???"

He didn't respond and the noises kept on coming…….

She ran to the others for help..

Inside, Raj was breaking all the things with the rod....everything that came before him……..

He didn't want anything………

He was unable to bear that Naina belonged to someone else…… and just want to destroy everything....

He cursed his fate……..He cursed himself…….and he kept on saying…

"Naina, I love you………I love you....I can't live without you....I can't lose you...." and broke everything……

Hearing the name of Rajveer; Huda, aalekh and naina rushed towards his room and they all could hear the loud noises……..

Naina gasped, she kept her hands on her mouth……

And what Naina saw was unbelievable for her………

He saw Naina and rushed towards her.

" Naina, yeh sab jhooth hai na?" , he asked with hopeful eyes.

Naina choked, " Raj..."

She wanted to tell him that yes...though true, it was all false.

The biggest truth of her life was that she Loved him and only him, and none else.

But words werent coming out...

He grabbed her by shoulder, harshly.

" Bolo yeh sab jhooth hai ! It's another stupid prank of Shalini ! ", his grip on her shoulder tightening with his every question, so much that it began to hurt.

He was breathing hard, fighting with himself, with his feelings.

She somehow managed to nod.

He grinned and hugged her to him roughly, crushing her against him.

" I...I knew it. Coz you are mine.....only mine."

Naina was crying hard.

He quickly let go of her , only to hold her face.

" I'm Sorry.....I really am Sorry Naina. I shouldnt have reacted this way, but the thought of you with....", he stopped as it was difficult for him, even to utter that.

" Raj, I need to tell you something.", she touched his cheek, " You need to know this.... "

She was mustering courage to tell him as he looked at her expectantly.

"I....I Love you and only you ,Raj. You know that don't you?" , she asked with tears in her eyes.

He found something is wrong somewhere.

" What is it Naina? Kya kehna chahti ho tum? Kya jaan na zaroori hai mere liye?" , he asked, leaving her face and again holding her shoulders.

She bit her lip and looked upto him....

She was scared to lose him. She knew she had to tell him, but....

" You know na, that I can't live without you?" , she asked instead, " That you mean everything to me?"

" OUT WITH IT , NAINA ! ", he shouted.

She shivered.

" Raj, Rahul....Rahul is my fiancee, but...."

She stopped as she found him leave her with a jerk.

She saw him taking backward steps, wobbling slightly.

" You can't do this....", he said with blood shot eyes, " You can't do this to me."

" Raj...."

He looked at her and called, " Naina, You....you cant leave me....don't leave me ! Please....don't..."

He buckled in his knees, breathing unevenly….streching out hands towards her , before he fainted.

Naina sat on the floor with a thump, what she saw today was the worst, worst than the thought of losing him…

While Dr shalini and Huda carried Raj to the infirmary, Aalekh took the charge of Naina and took her to the room.

she was so shocked that she could not shed a single tear also……

But she can't sit there just like that.

She got up to leave for infirmary, only to be stopped by Aalekh.

"Aalekh mujhe jane de, please!!!! I beg you..." ,she started fighting with Aalekh with all her efforts , but he didn't listen……

"Pagal mat ban naina……he needs to realize the truth!"

And at the same time her cell rang…..

it was of Rahul's……she didn't wanted to pick that up….

she didn't respond .

"Hello" she said shivering….

Aalekh looked at her as she threw away the phone. He patted her head and said,

"Main kaise so sakti hoon Aalekh, Raj ki halat dekhi hai ??? ", tears rolled from her eyes.

And whatever he said was the truth….but still..

"Main kuch nahi jaanti, Main bass unke paas rehna chahti hoon..."

"Tu nahi manegi naa? thik hai chal..."

As she got up to leave for infirmary , Aalekh said ," Bole toh, sir bilkul sahi bolte hai...."

"Kya ?"

"Tu bilkul waisich hai...bole toh woh kya bolte hai sir..... stubborn and impulsive!" and he received a whack.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She tried to control her tears as she saw him in the infirmary, sleeping due to the tranquilizer Shalini had given him.

Shalini consoled her, " I think you should rest too. Main hoon yahan."

" No maam. Main yahi rahungi, Raj ke paas....", she looked at her teary eyed .

Shalini couldnt see the pain in her eyes and hugged her, " Everything will workout Naina, don't worry. "

" Maam....", she cried.

" He will understand Naina. Captain tumse bahot pyaar karte hai.... Aur aajtak unhone har baar tumhe samjha hai.... Toh ab kyun nahi samjhenge? ", she tried to pacify her ,though she herself was shocked by Raj's reaction , " Kisi cheez ki zaroorat ho toh call me at once....Main yahi hoon,okay?"

Naina nodded and everyone left except Huda.

" Phoolan hum sab log hai na? Kuch galat nahi hoga...."

As she didnt say anything,

" Tu Sir ki situation bhi toh samajh. Woh tujhse bahot pyaar karte hai... "

" Toh mujhe kyun nahi samajhte??kyun mujhpe trust nahi karte?? "

" Woh tujhe samajhte bhi hai aur tujhpe trust bhi karte hai. Par yaar samajh na? Pyaar ke saath saath jealousy, insecurity bhi aa jaati hai. Who better than me can know this?? Aur phir Sir jin halaton se guzre hai, tu soch kya beeti hogi unpe jab unhone yeh suna? Sab kuch khone ke baad ab tujhe khone ka unka darr kya jayez nahi hai?? Agar tu unki jagah hoti aur tujhe yeh pata chalta ki Sir kisi aur se engaged hain to tu kya karti?? "

" Ya toh main khud jaan de deti ya....aur bhi better....uss witch ki jaan le leti !" , pat came her reply.

Huda laughed, " Dekha Phoolan? Tu sirf imagine karke aisa react kar rahi hai...Phir Sir ko toh zor ka zhatka laga hai . Tu unhe bhi toh samajh."

She realised how correct Huda was.

" Ab tujhe apna patience banaye rakhna hai. Yeh Phoolan Devi ke tevar mere liye chod de !" , he continued as he received a whack , " Aur phir main hoon na? Do not fear, when Huda is here !"

She smiled, " Thanks Huda."

" Oye koi gal nahi kudiye ! Chal main yahi infirmary ke bahar hoon. Zaroorat padi toh bass ek awaaz lagana, banda haazir hojayega! "

She knew it would be hard for him to take it,but she loved Raj and now she can't lose him at any cost…

With that thought she sat on a stool near his bed and caressed his forehead.

She didnt know when exhaustion took her toll and she dozed off sitting on the stool with her head on his shoulder and clutching his hand firmly in hers.....

Raj wake up , as the effect of tranquilizer weared off, he found himself in the infirmary.

The things that happened came back to him and he felt a pain in his heart.

Soon he felt someone resting on his shoulder and as soon as he saw that one face, a calm filled his heart.

He looked at her tear streaked face and felt bad.

He raised his another hand to caress her face, but stopped himself, lest he would wake her up.

He tried to free his hand from her grip, but smiled as she clutched it more tightly.
