Chapter 23
Opening his eyes he says "Naveen tu humein chor kar kyu chala gaya?", tears start pouring from his eyes, as he remembers his best friend.
Naina was moving towards her room that Pooja calls her from behind, "Naina sunn..." Naina turns to find Pooja walking towards her. Reaching her Pooja asks her "Kahan thi tu?" "Ahmm... yahin to thi kyu?" "Main tujhe kabse dhundh rahi thi. Chal chor. Ye bata kuch decide kia ki fresher's party mein kya pehne gi?" "Kya Pooja, freshers party hi to hai, pehn lungi kuch bhi" replies Naina, as they both head towards their room. "Oye kya kuch bhi pehn lungi Phoolan" interrupts Huda from behind, joining them. "Arey Phoolan ye fresher's party hai, akhir KMA ke seniors ko bhi pata chalna chahiye ki unke juniors kitne mast hai. Tu na kuch acha sa pehniyo, kyu Yudiye sahi kaha na maine?"
Yudi who was crossing them, engrossed in some thought, halts as he hears his name, turning he asks Huda "Dude were you talking to me?" "Arey han bhai aur kissey baat karunga? Waise bhi yahan kisi ko mujhse baat karne ka mann hi kahan karta hai?" taunts Huda, indicating towards Naina. Naina rolls her eyes, "Huda I wonder teri faltu baaton ke liye time kiske paas hota hoga?" "Arey Phoolan baat pyaar ki hoti hai, time to khud nikal jata hai jahan pyaar hota hai. Kyun sahi kaha na?" smiles Huda, staring Naina. "To tera matlab hai ki Naina tujhse pyaar nahi karti hai?" asks Alekh joining them. Naina turns to look at Alekh and gestures with her hand, creasing her brows 'kya bol raha hi ye tu?' "Iss mein puchne ki kya baat hai? Of course main kisi se pyaar nahi karti!" as soon as she declares this, she feels a shiver, doubting for the first time about her feelings. "Arey qaidi abhi na sahi par kabhi to karegi" answers Huda still staring towards Naina. "Huda tu na ek kaam kar jakar kisi aur ko pata, apun ko nahi lagta teri daal yahan galne wali hai!" "Kyu teri bhi nahi gali kya?" jokes Huda. Alekh moves forward to beat him, but Yudi comes in between them, "Hey bro chill!" "Yudi isse bol de ki ye apun se pange na le" "Haan.. main.." as Yudi was about to continue, an orderly reaches them and informs Yudi "Apse koi Neelu milne aayi hai" "Oh God! Ab ye yahan kya karne aa gayi?" "Abey Yudiye kon hai ye Neelu?" asks Huda, with a naughtiness in his voice and pushes Yudi by his shoulder. Yudi closes his eyes, shaking his head he says "Dude jaisa tum soch rahe ho aisa kuch nahi hai" explains Yudi, without looking towards Huda. "To fir kaisa hai?" asks Alekh, smile twitching his lips.
Before he could explain, a girl wearing a sleeveless top and jeans comes ushering the corridor area, moving hastily towards the group. Behind her the orderly keeps interrogating, "Ma'am apko kisse milna hai? Aap aise ander nahi ja saktin". As Yudi notices her coming towards them, he hides behind Alekh, saying "Oh God!" The girl halts when she reaches in front of Alekh. Putting her hands on either side of her waist she says "Hatt mujhey usse baat karni hai!" Placing his hands on either side of his waist Alekh replies "Par wo tujhse baat nahi karna chahta!" Gesturing with her right hand 'kya?' while her left hand is still holding the left side of her waist she says, creasing her brows "Oh hello! Tu hai kon jo beech mein bol raha hai?" "Apun jo koi bhi hai uska, par usse mera tujhse gehra rishta hai!" Bending a little to look towards Yudi, standing behind Alekh, she nods her head a little and says "Really?", smile twitching her lips.
Naina moves forward and comes in between Alekh and Neelu, "ahmm... iska matlab hum Yudi ke dost hain, aap kon?" "Ye aap khud hi batayenge ya main bataun?" asks Neelu bending again to checkout Yudi. Yudi rolls his eyes and comes in front to face Neelu. "Kya hai?" he asks in a hurry, with a pinch of irritation in his voice. "Kya hai? Tu..." as she was about to continue, she drifts her attention towards Alekh,"Ruk pehle tu inhein ye bata ki main teri kon hun?" she asks Yudi, crossing her arms, standing erect and facing Alekh. Turning his head a little left, he introduces her to them "Guys ye Neelu hai, meri behn. Meri 'sagi' behn" he emphasizes on 'sagi' and rolls his eyes.

In Rajveer's Room
Having a glass in his hand, and sitting calmly at the couch, his head resting on the back of the couch, his eyes transfixed on the ceiling, he thinks about Naveen and talks to himself. "Agar maine tere ghar mein phone karne ke baad ye cross-check nahi kia hota ki ye kiski family hai to shayad main ye baat ab tak nahi jaan pata ki Naina..." tear wells up in his eyes, then he continues "Naina teri behn hai". After sometime as he relaxes, he gets up and opens his cupboard and brings out the photo frame of Naveen. With a little smile on his lips, he rolls his hand on the photo frame.
The knock at the door, makes his heart to skip a beat. He turns and finds, the door is locked, "Captain" calls Dr. Mishra standing outside the door, waiting for him to open the door. Placing the frame back to his cupboard in a hurry and calming himself down, he moves towards the door, and pulls it open for her. "Hi Dr. Mishra, please come in", he invites her in. Sitting on the couch placed in front Captain Rajveer's couch, she says "Kya baat hai Captain aap aise akele kyun baithe hain?" Smiling Captain Rajveer says "Kuch nahi Dr. Mishra, bus thoda sir mein dard ho raha hai" "Really? Aapne mujhe bataya kyun nahi Captain?" says Dr. Mishra, creasing her brows, feeling concerned about his well-being. "It's okay Dr.Mishra I'll be..." he was about to complete his line that Dr.Mishra starts massaging his forehead. As soon as she touches his forehead and starts massaging it, he starts feeling relaxed and better. Closing his eyes he lays back his head, drowning into the ecstatic feeling. "Dr. Mishra you are really very talented" as he completes this line, Naina clears her throat. Listening to it, he realizes it's Naina, and straightens up with a jolt. "Yes Naina. I mean Cadet Singh!" he asks in a hurry, his voice shaky, as if he is caught red-handed, doing something offensive.
Sighing Dr. Mishra says, "Li jiye Captain, apki favorite student apse kuch kehne aayi hain"! Rajveer stares at Naina, waiting for her to say something. Then he realizes she is feeling guilty for entering at a wrong timing. He smirks secretly, thinking how little she knows about him. "Alright Captain I'll take your leave" saying this Dr.Mishra leaves the room.
