Sighing he looks at her and asks, "Chalein Naina? Kyunki agar main kuch der aur yahan raha to..." "To?" she asks him, expecting that he might tell her what's in his heart. He looks at her, but doesn't reply. They keep staring each other for sometime, at last Rajveer breaks the silence, "kya itna mushkil hai mujhey 'Raj' karke bulana? 'Sir' se 'Rajveer' tak aane mein itna waqt laga diya, ab 'Rajveer' se 'Raj' tak aane mein kitna waqt lagaogi, ye bhi bata do?" Naina looks into his eyes, with too much pain into her's. "Please!", Naina pleads him, looking straight into his eyes.
Staring her for sometime, Rajveer shakes his head and turns to walk, Naina holds him by his upper arm. Rajveer doesn't turn back to look at her, but waits for her to say something. " 'Raj' to apko sub bulate hain. Main apko 'Rajveer' karke hi bulana chahti hun".
(Rajveer-Naina tune begins in the background)
Her words make his heart to swell in love and pride. He turns to look at her. The look in his eyes, she cannot misinterpret it for anything, it is nothing but love. Yes, love, she knows he loves her; he knows that she loves him; because that is what her eyes tell him again and again.
Suddenly he is no longer angry at her, rather happy to get the name. For him it sounds different when she takes his name. 'Rajveer' the way she takes his name, the way the sweetness of her voice mixes with the strength present in his mere name, makes it to sound - out of the world. How can her explanation bring such a drastic change in his thinking? She definitely knows how to handle his anger, his possessiveness; she knows what is right and what is wrong for them! The thought brings a smile on his face.
"Rajveer!" he mirrors her word and tone, with a smile on his face, looking deeply into her eyes, Naina nods her head, slowly, to a 'yes'. Trying to figure out, how is he going to react to it. Still smiling, looking intently into her eyes, Rajveer shakes his head thrice. Sighing, he says, "okay next line!"
Clearing his voice, he says, "tum mujhse kabhi nahi ladogi". On listening to this line Naina looks at him, almost as if she is about to protest. Knowing that look of hers, Rajveer raises an eyebrow, daring her to argue. Unable to bear it any longer,"main aisa koi promise nahi karungi!", she declares. "Kyun?", he asks creasing his brows. "Acha to aap ye chahte hain ki main aisa promise karun taki aap iska faida utha payein? Rajveer, main na apko bohot achi tarah janti hun. Jitne bholey aap dikhte hain na, utne bholey aap hain nahi"! At this Rajveer starts laughing, "Hahaha! Acha bhola nahi hun main? Tumhari himmat kaise hui mujhey badmash kehne ki?" he asks, acting to be angry at her. "Apne plans dekhe hain apne? Koi bhi situation mein fass jayein, Rajveer ke paas har problem ke liye ek solution hai, plan ke form mein!" tells Naina, raising her voice a little out of excitement. Taking it as a compliment, Rajveer pulls his collar, blushing. Looking at his gesture, Naina shakes her head, with a smile on her face. "To iska matlab yahi na ki tumhe har situation se main hi bachata hun? Agar main nahi hota to tumhe museebat se bachata kon?" She blushes, accepting his words. Rajveer smiles back.
"I am waiting!" he reminds her. It's then, she remembers that she has a task in hand. "Main Rajveer se kabhi nahi ladungi" says Naina, emphasizing on Rajveer again. Listening to this makes Rajveer to smile.
(Rajveer-Naina slow tune begins in the background)
Rajveer places his left hand on her left cheek. Naina leans on his touch, closing her eyes. "Naina..." his whisper makes her to open her eyes and look at him. She waits for him to complete his line. Smiling, he says, "mujhse ladna kabhi mat chorna!" His comment takes her by surprise. She waits for him to elaborate, "Jis din tum mujhse ladna chor dogi, uss din main ye samajh jaunga ki humare beech mein ab koi rishta nahi bacha!" His words make her emotional. "Kya rishta hai humara?" now she takes her turn to surprise him by asking the question. Rajveer's eyes brim with tears on listening to her question, but he makes sure that they don't escape his eyes. The speed of Rajveer's heartbeats mirrors Naina's and without giving another thought, Rajveer covers her lips by his.
It takes a few moments for Naina to accept and adjust to his sudden action, but as she accepts it, she starts to respond back.
At first her hands hold his arms to support her body weight. Rajveer keeps it slow, knowing that it's their first time, they need to savor the feeling. And of course, knowing that Naina is too naive, he doesn't want to scare her.
The only sounds that were audible during the whole process were the chiming of Naina's bangles as she tries to push him back in order to make him stop; and their increasing breathing rate, both of which were igniting the passion between them. But she realizes, his action has left her strength less. Already being a man, that too a proper soldier, he has more strength than her and now his action has succeeded in taking away the little strength of her too. It will be a shame to call her a cadet or a soldier at this point of time, but of course at the moment she doesn't care about the world. The one she cares about the most is right with her right now! And for the first time Rajveer makes use of her innocence.
Unsure of how should she react, Naina takes her hand to his hair, but not knowing whether he'll like her little boldness or not, she dismisses the idea, and holds him back by his shoulders. Although thoroughly indulged in his kissing process, but Rajveer doesn't miss her shyness to hold him the way she wants to! And this was all she wanted to gain courage, an approval from him. And thereafter Rajveer enjoys the contact he had been enjoying, even more, because of her boldness.
Bringing it to an end, something they were enjoying immensely, their foreheads touch each other, their eyes closed, as they try to calm down their accelerated breathing rate. "I love you!" says Rajveer, breathless, still sitting in the same position, their eyes closed. He waits for her to say, to let him know.
Opening her eyes, she sits back, shying. Rajveer waits patiently, he keeps staring her. Slowly Naina raises her eyes, and what Rajveer sees in them is nothing but immense love for him. So why is she not wording her feelings for him?
Smiling a little, Naina moves closer to him, Rajveer notices her each action patiently. Lowering her eyes, she sets them on his lips, the thought that those lips had touched her lips just a few moments ago, those lips were on hers, makes her to shiver out of shyness.
"Apko jis baat ka darr tha apne wohi kia na?" she asks him, slowly, sweetly. Unable to understand what does she mean, he creases his brows, smiling he asks, "matlab?" "Apko darr tha na ki aap apni feelings aur nahi chupa payenge mujhse, agar hum yahan aye to?" asks Naina, looking into his eyes, blushing. Blushing himself, Rajveer accepts, "haan"! Shaking her head, blushing, Naina says, "Aap bhi na Rajveer!" "Naina..." Naina looks at him. "I love you Rajveer!" she accepts her feelings for him, without any hesitation. Smiling wholeheartedly, Rajveer hugs her tightly, Naina hugs him back with equal affection.
After sometime, Rajveer leaves her, just to kiss her all over her face, something he had been craving for since the day he realized he has fallen in love with her. Naina doesn't make any effort to stop him. Soon he reaches her neck, and kisses the nape of her neck slowly, it's then she whispers, "Rajveer..." unable to hold back her emotions anymore and holds him tightly by his shoulders.
This encourages him to continue his sweet torture on her.
After accepting and getting satisfied that he has enjoyed his chance enough, Naina pushes him away from her. At first Rajveer looks surprised as to what made her to do so, puzzled, has he crossed any limit? But then is there any limit line between Rajveer and his Naina?
But soon all his doubts and questions get their answer, only ONE answer!
Naina mirrors his action, she starts kissing him all over his neck, aching slow. Laughing and enjoying, Rajveer pushes his head back, giving her full access to his neck. Naina traces his neckline with her kisses. Then at last kisses at the center of his neck. Rajveer doesn't make any attempt to dominate her, to overpower her. After enjoying and getting satisfied, she hugs him, placing her head on his chest.
Rajveer teases her by asking, "bus itna hi? Itne time se control kar rahi thi apne emotions ko aur ab mauka mila, I mean maine mauka diya to bus itna hi?" Rajveer makes a sad face, Naina rolls her eyes up to check his expression, this makes both of them to laugh. Naina beats him on the right half of his chest, while resting her head on the left half, around and on his heart. Laughing on her sweet gesture Rajveer hugs her tightly, and says, "hmm... koi baat nahi apni feelings show karne ke liye puri zindagi parhi hai. I will never force you for anything Naina. Haan kahin kahin zid karunga, mera demands purey karne honge tumhe!" warns Rajveer, lovingly. "Kaise demands?" asks Naina. "Ahm... jaise raat ko lights out hone ke baad milne bulaya to ana parhega!" Naina sits back, not going too away from him, "lights out hone ke baad?" she asks, creasing her brows, scared. "Haan to?" "Lolita Ma'am ne agar pakad lia na to mujhey KMA se nikal dengi. Fir bilkul hi nahi mil payenge" says Naina, nervously. "Arey waise to itni bahdur banti rehti ho. Apne doston ke kaise uut-patang missions mein saath deti rehti ho!" This makes Naina jealous and angry. Pointing a finger towards him, Naina says, "dekhiye aap mere doston ke barey mein kuch mat kahiye samjhe aap". Making an expression that he is scared of her, Rajveer says, "arey baap re itna gussa", laughing he says, "abhi-abhi pyar shuru hua hai, aur tumne ladna bhi shuru kar dia?" "Pyar, pyar abhi kahan shuru hua, pyar to..."
"Kya? Pyar to...?" teases Rajveer, naughtiness and hidden smile clearly visible on his face. "Pyar to kya?" asks Rajveer again. Naina blushes and shies away. Getting serious, Rajveer repeats his question, " 'Pyar to' kya Naina?" "Kuch nahi!" says Naina. Rajveer waits for sometime then asks, "kab hua tumhe mujhse pyar Naina?" His bold question makes her heart to skip a beat. He has never asked such a question to her before! She looks at his eyes, his eyes almost pleading her to answer, as if his life depends on her answer. "Dheere-dheere hua" "Thoda sa pyar tab hua jab apne kaha tha 'because I believe in Cadet Naina Ah Singh'!" "Thoda tab hua jab mentorship program ke dauran aap keechad mein gir gaye the!" Naina smiles, thinking about the incident. Rajveer blushes in return, remembering his situation, he was drenched in muddy water in front of no one but Naina, whom he... he loved! Rajveer shakes his head, trying to shoo off his embarrassment.
"Aur apko pata hai subse zada kab hua?" she asks, creasing her brows, as if it's hurting her, remembering that moment. Her breathing hitches. "Kab?" asks Rajveer, almost breathless, as he notices Naina's reaction, understanding it that whatever is coming next has affected her deeply! By her expression he could make out that it had hurt her, but what he couldn't understand is how could he hurt and make her feel loved at the same time?
