CHAPTER 7:
BC Office: BC is sitting in his office and waits for Naina. After 2 minutes naina enters.
Naina salutes him: Capt. Naina Singh Alluwhalia reportng sir.
BC: at ease capt. please take a seat.
Naina: thanku sir and she sits down.
BC: First of all Naina i want to say that i am very proud of you. In past 3 years, you have been successful in all your missions and not only that but all the missions which you undertook were very dangerous, but still you didn't back out and completed them. You have been promoted to Capt. in short period of time of 3 years. This all because of your courage and bravery. This KMA feels really proud of you and i must say you have increased the pride of KMA even more and KMA is too eqally proud on you that you were KMA passout. Congratulations for your success.
Naina: Thank you soo much sir. I too feel proud that i am a KMA passout. KMA has played a very important role in my life. Today whatever i am is because of KMA. KMA only made me a soldier. And about my missions i want to say one thing only sir, that as a soldier it's my duty to save our country. And i will do my duty till the last breath of my life. My mentor thought me a true soldier never gets afraid from the challenges. He faces all the challenges and as soldiers our life is for our country and we should not hesitate in giving our life for saving our country. So till my last breath i will do my best to save and protect our country.
BC: i am really proud of you Capt. and also feel equally proud of your mentor too. Anyways you are here going to teach Communication and strategy and also you will be the drill commanding officer. Well you were suppose to report after 5 days because of your injury, but you came today only. I really appreciate that, because as you know classes has already started 2 days back. But still i will leave it on you whether you want to start teaching from tomorrow only or you want to take rest for few days.
Naina: I will start my classes from tomorrow only sir. i have taken enough rest and i am fine sir.
BC: well then in that case from tomorrow you can start your classes. your schedule will be given to you. You can meet suriji he will show you your room. However i think it will take time to settle your room because we were not expecting you today. I hope you can understand.
Naina: that's perfectly fine sir. But sir actually i want to ask something. if you allow
BC: Sure Capt. You can ask me. Don't worry Capt. i know in military we are supposed to behave formally but you also know that you were there in this academy and i have seen you becoming a soldier from cadet. and i want to tell you one more thing, You brother was my favorite cadet, but after whatever happened i stopped myself from getting attached with cadets. But to be honest after Navin you became my favorite cadet and i have seen your journey, your struggle, your pain. I really feel proud of you and feel some personal attachment with you. I never said it before but today i want to say, i have no family but i will be very proud to have a daughter like you. so you don't have to hesitate from me and you can consider me as your father.
naina becomes emotional and have some tears in her eyes: thank you so much sir. And believe me i feel honored to have a father like you. It will be very lucky to have your guidance and your blessings.
BC: well then know you can ask me anything, whatever you want
Naina: Sir actually i want to ask about Capt. Rajveer's room.
BC: yeah you don't have to worry. As i promised you we didn't allot Capt. rajveer's room to any other faculty. The room is same as it was and it has been locked from that time.
Naina: i knew sir, you wouldn't have allotted that room to anyone else. I knew you will fulfill your promise. Actually i want to ask, if you allow then i want to take Capt. rajveer's room. I want that room to be allotted to me. If that's ok with you?
BC thinks for sometime: You know Naina if i wouldn't have made any promise to you then also, i wouldn't have allotted that room to anyone else. But know when you are asking, i think if someone deserve that room to be allotted then it's you. So i will ask Suriji to clean that room and help you to settle down. I am sure Suriji too will be happy to see that Capt. rajveer's room has been allotted to you. You can now meet suriji and wait in mess till that room gets cleaned up.
Naina: Thank you so much sir. She salutes to him and leaves from there.
BC calls orderly and gives him instructions to inform suriji about cleaning Rajveer's room and alloting it to Capt. Naina Singh Allhuwalia.
Naina first goes to infirmary. There she meet Dr. Shalini.
Naina: Hello Doc. Whats' up.
Shalini: good. So you reported to BC.
Naina: yeah just know my meeting got over with him. What are doing? are you free for sometime?
Shalini: ofcourse Naina i m free. And don't worry i will help you in your unpacking.
Naina: thank you doc, but i was not asking for that. Actually it will take time for my room to get cleaned up and Bc asked me to wait in the mess, So i thought i will ask you. Would you mind having some coffee with me?
Shalini: oh come on naina don't be so formal. we are friends. you need to just order me like i will be giving you orders from now on. Don't think that if you will behave formally with me, like requesting and all, then i will be doing the same. Nope. i will be taking full advantage of our friendship. keep that in mind.
Naina: you know i don't have any problem with that Doc. So lets go to canteen.
They both comes out and starts going to canteen.
Naina: by the way do you know where is Alekh. I didn't see him. Is he taking class?
Shalini: at this time he won't have any class. He will be here only somewhere. may be planning a surprise for you. after all his sister came to kma.
In the mean time Alekh comes and hug Naina
Alekh: kaisi hai tu. tu khud kyu aayi. Maine bola tha na ki main tere ko lene aaonga.
naina: main thik ho. aur main akeli aa sakti hu Alekh. Itni tension lene ki koi jaroorat nahi hai. Waise yeh chod aur yeh bata tu ab tak kaha tha. main kabse aayi hu, tu ab mujhse mil raha hai.
Alekh stammers a little: wo apun yahi pe tha. Wo kuch cadets ko kuch problems thi, to unki help kar raha tha. waise aap dono abhi kaha ja rahe ho?
Shalini: Hum abhi mess ja rahe hai. Suriji ke hattoo ki cofee pene.
Alekh: to chalo apun bhi chalta hai.
Trio reach the mess. Suriji was giving instruction to orderly to clean the room of Capt. rajveer .
Suriji: oy khotiye, dhayan se sun, room bilkul saaf hona chaiye. Itne saalo baad wo room khulege to usse ache se saff karna samajh ayi meri gal.
Alekh: arey suriji kis room ki baat kar rahe ho aap.
Suriji sees towards the door and sees Naina.
Naina: Kaise ho Suriji.
Surii comes and hug her. He gets emotional and keeps his hand on Nainas head.: main bilkul changa hu puttar. Tu kaisi hai? Itne sallo baad mil rahi hai. aur dekh kitni kamjoor ho gayi hai. Waise mujhe pata hai ki Suriji ki mess jaisa khana kahi aur nahi mil sakta. Par ab tu phikar mat kar. Ab tu yaha aa gayi hai na, Dekhna mere haath ke desi ghee ke parothe kha ke aur lassi peke tune pehle jaise fit and fine ho jana hai.
Naina smiles and says: waise yeh to aapne thik kaha ki apke haath ke khane jaisi baath aur kaha. par philhal mujhee parothe nahi coffee pini hai. milegi kya?
Suriji: jaroor milegi. Oy khote de puttar jaldi coffee lekar aa meri beti ke liye.
Shalini: Arey waah suriji, Naina aayi nahi ki aap to hume bhool hi gaye. Waise sirf Naina hi nahi main aur Alekh bhi hai yaha pe, humme bhi coffee milegi ya sirf Naina ko hi?
Suriji: oh kyu nai Shalini puttar. Wo to Naina se itne time baad mila ki Tum logo par dhyan hi nahi gaya. oyy khote ek nahi 3 coffee leke aa jaldi.
Alekh, Naina and Shalini sits down on the table. orderly gives them coffee.
Alekh: wise Suriji aapne bataya nahi ki aap kis room ki safai ki baat kar rahe the.
Suriji looks at Alekh, then at Shalini and then at Naina and says Capt. Rajveer ke room ki.
Alekh: Kya
Shalini: what.
Suriji: ji
Shalini: par wo room to band hai aur Capt. Rajveer ke baad wo kisi ko bhi allot nahi hua. to phir ab kyu.
Alekh was watching Naina. She was sitting there without any expression and drinking coffee. Somewhere Alekh understood that It was Naina who did this.
Suriji: ji puttar. par abhi Bc ka order aaya hai, wo room ab Naina ko allot kiya gaya hai. Ab se Naina putter ab us room me rahegi.
Alekh, Shalini and suriji looks at Naina but she doesn't give any expression and continue sipping it's coffee.
After few seconds finally she said: Suriji just make sure, nobody removes Capt. rajveer's name plate from there.
The three of them looks at her in shock.
Suriji: par puttar ab jab tu waha rahegi to name palte to teri hogi na.
naina: janti hu Suriji. Isliye aap meri name plate waha laga dijiyega par Capt. rajveer ki name plate bhi lagi rehne dijiyega. meri name plate Capt. rajveer ki name plate ke ssath laga digiyega.
The three are shocked. but there was one more person, who was equally shocked. He was not able to understand, why Naina was doing this. he was not able to understand Naina's feelings towards Capt. Rajveer. that person says to himself: kyu Naina aisa kyu kar rahi ho tum. Tum khud janti ho aisa karne se tumhe kitni taklif hogi. Itna kya mayine rakhte hai capt. Rajveer tumhare liye.
There Naina once again feel as if someone is watching her. She once again feel restless. She feels as if someone very close to her is watching her. She tries to see her around but found no one.
Screen end on Naina's restless and that person's teary face.
