OS : Rajveer-Naina Tum Mile
Author's note
This is my take on the scene when Rajveer and Naina meet first time after the red saree incident. Initially the dialogues and story will be same as shown in the serial, where I'll focus on their feelings but gradually the story will change.
Hope you all enjoy the read. 😳
Stay blessed!
😳
~*~*~
Rajveer exits his room for some work. As he locks the door of his room and walks to his right to climb down the stairs, Naina's voice arrests him, skipping his heartbeat. Deep down he tries hard to resist turning back, but Naina's eager steps towards him turn out to be quicker than Rajveer's decision!
As Naina ends up standing in front of him, happy as ever on being around him, she puts a break to her excitement on discovering his expression. It was nothing less than bewilderment! Bewildered to find Naina there, is he? But where else will she be if not in KMA?
She notices how instead of looking into her eyes, like always, he is gauging her up to down just like the last night! What was that? When has he started staring girl cadet(s) in such inappropriate way? Or is it just about Naina? Hell she is sure, it's only about her!
But then last night was... ahmm... different! Why today?
But do you really mind him seeing you this way Naina? Okay, let's skip this question!
Meanwhile Rajveer enjoys or rather gets disappointed on discovering Naina in her uniform! Is this the same Captain Rajveer who finds pride in wearing his uniform? Who teaches his students to feel the same? His heart breaks a little. So were you expecting her to be roaming around in KMA wearing the red saree? But why would you? Probably not! Let's shrug it off, can we?
"Oh!",
comes his first word, after a long gap since the moment they met.
And the mere word 'oh' and the way he exhales the breath along with the utterance of the word, the breath he had been holding since the moment he heard her, tells Naina how nervous he must have been this whole time. But nervous, Captain Rajveer and that too on talking to a mere cadet? Like seriously? What is wrong with him? Where is that bold Captain Rajveer Singh Shekhawat? How can a mere cadet make him hold his breath for this long? Mere? Well... forget it!
"Cadet Naina Singh tum!",
he says rather than asks.
Gauging his each reaction, secretly knowing the reason of his each reaction, controlling her blush which confirms that she understands! She knows it all! She knows what's that look for on his face! She understands what made him to take a silent deep breath. Oh trust me Captain, she knows it all! But she asks, although shyness and nervousness mingled together in her utterance of the question,
"Kyun Sir apne pehchana nahi?"
But trust me Captain, she gets the upper hand here, she is less nervous right now in front of you than you are right now in front of her!
What's that nervousness for Rajveer? As if you are afraid that the crime you did last night and by god's grace, escaped without getting caught, has come back in front of you, and now nothing or rather no one can save you from getting arrested?
Oh arrested you will really get, by no one else or rather nothing else other than Naina's eyes! But then aren't you habitual to it? Isn't this your best punishment so far? Isn't this the punishment you enjoy the utmost?
"Nahi... a...",
says Rajveer, cascading down his eyes for a few seconds then looking back towards her.
Are you afraid that if you escape looking towards her, you'll get caught by her? Oh come on what am I saying, Rajveer never gets afraid of anyone right?
"Wo... actually kal tum unn kapdon mein thi to...",
hesitates Rajveer.
"Aaj tum... thodi pehchane mein gadbad ho gayi!",
blushes Rajveer, feeling stupid in front of her, for the second time!
Naina cascades down her eyes out of shyness.
"Sir wo... main aap hi se milne aa rahi thi!",
says Naina, gaining back her composure gradually.
At this moment Rajveer wishes that even yesterday if it could have been him rather than Huda whom she was rushing to meet to!
"Mujhey apse kuch puchna tha...",
she says.
Rajveer looks at his watch, getting late to reach somewhere. Is it really that you don't have much time to spare or is it that it's becoming difficult for you to stay with her after having visualized her wearing the red saree for the umpteenth time since last night? This time in front of her!
"I am sorry Cadet Singh, iss waqt to main jaldi mein hun",
he says, after checking out the time.
And as he notices a frown on her face, he feels like thrashing himself for having said that.
"Ahmm... I guess it can wait?",
he asks, a means of apology.
Naina stares him understanding his urgency to leave.
Suddenly he gets serious, turning and walking a little towards his right, he tells her,
"Lekin main bhi tumse kuch kehna chahta hun!"
Naina grabs the seriousness in his voice and turns to look towards him, giving him her full attention. She herself turns serious, sensing his mood.
"Naina main chahta hun ke tum aur baki sabhi cadets, Captain Abhimanyu Rai Chauhan se jakar maafi mango!",
he tells her, all serious.
"Lekin kyun Sir?",
she asks, innocently.
Turning to address her, he says,
"Naina tumhe nahi lagta ki..."
Walking past her, he continues,
"Tumne aur baki cadets ne... koi line cross ki?",
he asks reaching a pillar, resting his right hand on it.
"Captain Abhimanyu Rai Chauhan ke personal musical equipments todna, it was absolutely uncalled for! Uski kya zarurat thi?",
he asks her, standing behind her at a distance, all serious.
"Ahmm...",
Naina turns to address Captain Rajveer,
"Apne sahi kaha Sir, humein mafi mangni chahiye!",
she says, earnestly.
"Good! To main chalta hun!",
he says, his tone conveys how he is not very happy to leave. As if, if she prohibits him from leaving, he would submit to her demand without giving a second thought!
They stare each other. Conveying everything which they are unable to verbally!
"Good day...",
he wishes, almost holding his breath.
And at this particular moment, his these two simple words 'GOOD DAY' yet again remind them of the moment they enjoyed last night, at the same place where they are standing at this moment! Only that the words were slightly different, instead of good day they were good night!
*Flashback*
Staring at her for sometime, he realizes that he must stop this right now or he might end up doing something that he shouldn't! Lowering his eyes out of shyness and hesitation for fraction of seconds, he again looks back towards Naina and says,
"you know... I have got to go..."
and stares her for few seconds then continues,
"but... good night... and...",
he tries to find words, staring her throughout this time. Naina bends her head a little, gesturing him to continue what he wants to tell her. Her eyes focused on him, enjoying his each reaction and word. Waiting for him to say something! Something she wants to hear, although she isn't sure what exactly she wants to hear from him!
On the other hand, deciding that it isn't a right moment to say anything of that sort, and also he has no right to speak to her that way, he ends up saying, blushing, raising his shoulders,
"have a good night!"
Holding his breath, he shakes his head a little, looking at her, indicating her that he is leaving now. He adjusts his collar, sometimes looking at her, sometimes lowering his eyes out of sheer shyness.
"Main... chalta hun...",
he says at last. His mind says he should leave before it gets too late, and his heart requests him to stay and enjoy few more moments with her and scolds him that it is indeed too.. late, he must confess here and now! He finds it difficult to get away from her, although he wants it desperately to distance himself from her, not because he hates her presence but because he knows, if he stays with her for few more moments he might confess what he doesn't want as for yet to let her know!
*Flashback Ends*
Looking towards him hesitantly, she wishes him,
"Good day Sir!",
and lowers her eyes.
"Good day!",
wishes back Rajveer, hesitantly.
And controlling their throbbing hearts and holding their breaths, they cross each other, resisting too hard from looking towards each other. Their eyes cascaded down, out of shyness and hesitation but they don't refrain themselves from feeling the bliss of looking at each other through their peripheral vision.
(Rajveer-Naina trumpet tune begins in the background as they cross by each other)
As Naina walks away at a distance, her speed decreases as if she doesn't want to get away from him this soon. The smile; the blush, had Rajveer witnessed them at this moment, he would have certainly known how much this sudden meeting and their conversation are affecting her. As much as they are affecting him!
But as always, Naina fails to understand what's this feeling culminating in her heart these days for her mentor; her teacher; her Rajveer Sir! Whatever it is, she cannot deny that she certainly is enjoying this new emotion.
Although moving away from him, she gets this strong urge to run back to him. Why? She knows not! She turns her hands into fists as a measure to control the turmoil of emotions. No! She needs to control herself. She cannot always keep him in front of her eyes; or stay in front of his eyes for that matter. She silently makes herself to understand this mere thing. Determined that she will maintain distance from him, she takes a deep breath and moves for exiting the corridors and stepping into the main hall of KMA. And as she does that a sight brings her smile and blush back to her face!
Rajveer tired of thinking about Naina; fighting with his feelings; calming them down, walks towards the tap situated in the main hall of KMA and washes his face in order to clear his mind.
Naina's feet on their own accord walk towards him. At this moment she has nothing to share with him - no problem; no worries; no happiness - nothing! Yet this urge to be around him, try how hard she might, but she cannot just let go this idea; this feeling!
Reaching the tap placed adjacent to the tap he is using, Naina keeps staring him whilst he washes his face. What's that stare for Naina? Haven't you seen someone washing his/her face before today? Or is it that seeing him doing so is a sheer pleasure to you? Can you be bold enough for once and choose one of the above options?Your real feelings?
Suddenly he senses someone's presence around him or if I may say her presence around him!
As he turns to his left, his heart skips a beat on discovering Naina there. Tell me something Rajveer, is it really shock that you are feeling at this moment or is it a surprise for you? Surprise because something you couldn't ask her verbally, like always, surprisingly, she is acting accordingly this time! Can you show the guts for once to accept the fact that you really wanted her to stay with you for longer period, only that you couldn't word your feelings, like always?
While he keeps staring her, Naina drinks the water from the tap. Although not at all thirsty, but this is nothing if it's helping her to enjoy few moments of his presence around her. Unable to understand how to react further, she stands up, looking towards him, she smiles. Inside, she waits, craves for him to say something, anything! Not that he doesn't want to talk. But knowing that if he starts now, he might not be able to stop himself from saying that he must not say, he leaves quickly before she shoots a question on him because with her, you never know!
"Yes?",
asks Lala Gehlot, in his authoritative tone.
Lala Gehlot's presence in Rajveer's room doesn't look welcoming to Naina. As if some outsider has stepped into her territory; her home!
Had it been someone else say Major Nayyer, Naina would certainly have looked towards Rajveer, apologetically, for having interrupted them. Although being fully aware of the fact how Captain Rajveer and Major Nayyer can not bear each other's presence, still Naina would have given them the space they needed. But she doesn't understand why, she feels so right to be here at this moment. As if she belongs to this place, she belongs to him! As if she is the only one here who is his well wisher.
To Rajveer's utter surprise, he doesn't feel Naina trespassing any boundary. As if she has all the rights to be here.
"Ahmmm... Cadet Singh...",
addresses Rajveer, trying hard to hide his feeling of utter surprise on discovering her there.
"Ahmm... Sir... wo mujhey puchna tha ke kya aj aap class lenge? Wo sub wait kar rahe the to!",
asks Naina, hesitantly.
Rajveer at first knits his brows a little completely aware that he doesn't have any lecture with her class.
Standing at her place, Naina looks towards Rajveer nervously, afraid that he might blurt out that he doesn't have any class with the first year students that he needs to attend.
She does get a little nervous, not because of Lala Gehlot's presence there. No it doesn't affect her a wee bit. It is rather the thought of how Rajveer might react now or may be later? Will he feel that she is trying to poke her nose in his personal matters? Will this lead to an argument between them? She of course doesn't want that by any means.
Rajveer and Naina keep staring each other, Naina holding her breatg, as Rajveer's calm demeanour confuses her, is he really calm, or is this the calmness before the storm?
"Haan... haan Cadet Singh, aap chaliye main aata hun",
says Rajveer, looking straight towards her.
Of course she wasn't expecting a scolding in front of Lala Gehlot but she is still not sure about what to expect as Lala Gehlot leaves.
But as for now, she doesn't want to leave!
Standing at her place, she starts fidgeting with her ring, looking straight towards Rajveer. How to make him understand that she doesn't want to leave him alone with Lala Gehlot?
Rajveer knits his brows lightly as he realizes her dilemma. What is up with her today? She is being different.
Quickly, deciding, he begins to introduce, and begins with,
"Ahmm... Cadet Singh please join us".
This skips Naina's heartbeat, is he really asking her? Rajveer gauges her state of dilemma and realizes that he needs to assure her that it's fine, he blinks his eyes as a signal to her to follow the suit.
(Rajveer-Naina tune begins)
Cautiously, Naina takes her seat in the sofa placed next to his.
"Sir, ye hai Cadet Singh, first year cadet!",
introduces Raj. Something inside him prohibits him from letting him add further that she is his best cadet, unlike other times; in front of other people.
And Naina who had been holding her heartbeat thinking, he might add the same that he didn't, sighs in relief. But why is it that? Why unlike other times, she wants him to keep it under wraps that she is his favourite, she fails to understand.
Is it fear or is it a measure taken for future security? For securing Rajveer in future? But why would she need to secure Rajveer from his own father? Or should we correct - from his so-called-father!
Smiling, Lala Gehlot acknowledges Naina,
"KMA ki honhar Cadet. Kafi suna hai apke barey mein".
Nothing of Lala Gehlot, neither his demeanour nor his words give Naina the positive vibes. In fact the appreciating words that she received just now sounds fake to her ears.
Understanding that she needs to react, she says,
"Ahmmm... thank you Sir!"
Smiling, Lala Gehlot focuses back his attention on Rajveer,
"Waise tumhe dekh kar hum ye soch rahe hain ke humne aisa kya kiya that I have been graced with your presence?"
Blushing, Rajveer shakes his head,
"Sir aaye aap hain yahan. It is rather the other way round".
This makes Lala Gehlot to laugh which in return makes Rajveer to blush further.
"Beshak! Lekin bhai tum bhi ek busy personality ho. Appointment lena to banta hai",
laughs Lala Gehlot.
"Aur dant humesha hum khate rehte hain tumse ke hum tumhare liye waqt nahi nikalte",
teases Lala Gehlot.
Rajveer blushes all the more.
"Arey bhai ek dusre ke liye waqt nikalne se hi to pyar barhta hai",
smiles Lala Gehlot.
"Ye aap keh rahe hain?",
asks Raj, looking towards Lala Gehlot in astonishment.
Now this makes Lala Gehlot to blush and he lowers his eyes.
Naina who had been gauging these lovey-dovey exchanges between the duo in front of her, in all serious tone, intervenes,
"Kon kiske liye fortunate hai, wo to waqt batayega!",
she smiles sarcastically, looking towards Lala Gehlot.
Lala Gehlot catches the sign, Rajveer too and knits his brows lightly, unable to understand why she said so.
Lala Gehlot smiles lightly, inside he tries to read her! Naina widens the smile, giving nothing away.
"Waise I am sorry Raj, bina appointment ke chale aye hum",
smiles Lala Gehlot.
Naina knits her brows further, where is he going with this?
Blushing, Shakimg his head, Raj says,
"Aap...",
unable to put his feelings into words, he blushes again, then continues,
"Apko appointment ki koi zarurat nahi hai Lala Sahab"
"Sir, Sir mujhey kuch important baat karni hai apse!",
says Raj, getting serious.
Naina gives her full attention too, gauging the seriousness by Rajveer's tone.
"Lala Sahab, mujhey Colonel Shakti Chandra ne phone kiya tha!",
says Raj.
Lala Gehlot narrows his eyes on Raj, giving his full attention. Naina gets restless, something inside her tells her - this is all wrong. This should be stopped. That Rajveer should not share this with Lala Gehlot.
"Unhone mujhse kaha hai ki main sirf apko akar report karun",
says Rajveer.
Lala Gehlot smirks secretly.
Colonel Shakti Chandra's words catch Naina's attention. She gets so engrossed pondering into his words, that she misses the glow in Lala Gehlot's face, which had she noticed would either have found weird or have got into a conclusion - a conclusion which would have proved beneficial for her!
"Ek minute!",
says Lala Gehlot.
His words drag not only Rajveer's attention but drags Naina too out of her reverie.
Lala Gehlot dials a number whilst saying,
"Ye zaruri hai, just gimme five minutes".
Rajveer obliges.
While Lala Gehlot busies himself in making the call, Rajveer's eyes happen to fall on Naina and he finds her staring him.
(Slow Rajveer-Naina guitar tune begins)
The heartbeats of both skip as their eyes contact. Rajveer witnesses how like always her cheeks are changing colour under his constant gaze, which relaxes Rajveer to a great extent, as if this is exactly what he waits for to happen each day! A little smile creeps on his lips which he remains under control, fully aware of Lala Gehlot's presence around them.
Soon Rajveer realizes that Naina is tensed about something. The way she is looking at him, anxiously explains that she needs to share something with Rajveer but Lala Gehlot's presence is prohibiting her to do so. Only if he would have understood that her dilemma is regarding his own so called father! Naina for these brief moments completely forgets about her real reason of being there and her motif turns into making Rajveer somehow know that she is not very much in favour of letting Lala Gehlot know everything about Colonel Shakti Chandra.
She shakes her head in disapproval, looking towards him, indicating him - not to procceed with discussing about Colonel Shakti Chandra with Lala Gehlot. Naina herself feels weird about her feeling this way. But she concludes that there is no time to over think about her decision. But before she could give him more hints by her gestures, Lala Gehlot completes with the call and returns back his attention towards Rajveer.
Naina's heartbeat picks up pace, she feels helpless.
"Lala Sahab mujhey darr hai ke KMA ko koi, anti-national activities ke liye istemal kar raha hai!",
tells Captain Rajveer.
This comes as a complete shock for Naina.
Lala Gehlot knits his brows too.
"Aur inn sub mein, KMA ka koi ander ka vyakti bhi involved hai",
declares Raj.
This shocks Naina further.
After her initial shocks, Naina looks towards Lala Gehlot and gets surprised on witnessing that he is not much affected by this. She feels as if his getting affected is for altogether different reason. This gets Naina tensed.
"Koi sabut? Koi proof tumhare paas?",
asks Lala Gehlot, suspeciously.
Naina looks towards Rajveer, holding her breath, praying that he doesn't show him or tell him about the proofs even if he bears them.
And as this thought crosses her mind, her eyes by chance fall on an envelope kept on the side table next to her. While Captain Rajveer and Lala Gehlot exchange tensed looks, Naina deliberately pushes down a few files kept on the side table along with the envelope bearing the proofs.
"Oh I am sorry!",
apologizes Naina as the files fall with a thud dragging Captain Rajveer's and Lala Gehlot's attention.
"Oh that's absolutely fine! Tumhe chont to nahi lagi?",
asks Lala Gehlot, acting to be concerned.
Rajveer on the other hand really gets worried about Naina's well being.
Nervously, she quickly replies,
"Ahmm... no Sir! I am fine".
"Alright. That's fine tumhe wo uthane ki zarurat nahi main orderly se kahunga wo kar dega",
says Lala Gehlot.
"It's okay Sir, main kar deti hun!",
says Naina and quickly starts arranging the files.
Lala Gehlot turns back to Raj and finds him staring Naina. He could read his concern for Naina in his eyes.
"Raj!",
calls Lala Gehlot to drag him out of his trance.
"Ahmm... sorry Sir!",
apologizes Rajveer.
(Slow Rajveer-Naina piano tune begins)
"Are you fine?",
asks Lala Gehlot, showing his concern.
"Yes! Yes Sir!",
replies Rajveer, quickly.
It doesn't go unnoticed by neither Lala Gehlot, nor Naina!
And before he could say further, Lala Gehlot receives another call. Ending the call, he apologizes Rajveer and tells him his urgency to leave.
Where on one hand it gets him disappointed there on the other Naina takes a sigh of relief.
As Rajveer goes out to see off Lala Gehlot, Naina thinks deeply again about Lala Gehlot and she doesn't feel any regression for behaving the way she behaved.
Returning back from her reverie, Naina decides to leave. As she reaches the door of Captain Rajveer's room, Rajveer storms in at the same moment!
"Kahan ja rahi hain aap Cadet Singh itni jaldi mein?",
asks Rajveer, smiling teasingly.
(Slow Rajveer-Naina piano tune begins as they stare each other)
"Ahmm... wo meri class hai!",
says Naina, her voice low, never ending the eye contact.
Arching a brow, Rajveer asks,
"Class? Par apka teacher to yahan khada hai, so I am sure aap class ke liye late nahi hongi",
he teases her further.
Naina feels ashamed of her behaviour. Her heartbeat picks up pace, unable to bear his tease.
"Naina aise har choti-choti baat ke liye mere paas yun chale aana, tumhe nahi lagta tumhe aisa nahi karna chahiye?",
asks Rajveer, slightly pissed off because no denial he felt a little embarrassed in front of his god father - Lala Gehlot on Naina's sudden entry.
"Mujhe... mujhe zaruri baat karni thi!",
says Naina, hesitantly, never meeting his eyes.
"Acha?",
asking so he gets away a little from her and crosses his arms over his chest, never looking away from Naina.
"Bataiye, kya zaruri baat thi?",
asks Rajveer teasingly.
(Slow Rajveer-Naina guitar tune continues as they stare each other)
Rajveer gauges that she is more relaxed now and is not nervous of him. Taking a deep breath he decides to take her class!
"Naina tumhare paas koi reason nahi hai, to tum yahan ayi kyun? Lala Sahab kya sochenge - ke mere ek student ki itni himmat hui ke wo aise hi mere room mein aa gaya and allowed her to join us?",
scolds Rajveer, suddenly getting high on her.
Naina realizes the seriousness of the situation. But she gets irritated as she thinks - why is he not understanding her situation?
"Aap... aap Col. Shakti Chandra ke barey mein kya keh rahe the?",
she asks urgently.
Knitting his brows, Rajveer replies,
"What? Why are you interested in knowing?"
His question irritates her further,
"Sir... Sir please bataiye. I need to know".
"Par kyun Naina? Iss baat ka tumse koi lena dena nahi hai",
says Rajveer, sternly.
"I know Sir. But mere paas agar ek information rahe to iss mein kya galat hai?",
Naina raises her voice out of irritation.
"Galat hai Naina!",
Rajveer too raises his voice, then continues,
"Ek confidential information kisi ke paas hona, janti ho uski jaan ko kitna khatra ho sakta hai?",
he asks.
"Yani apki jaan ko khatra hai?",
panicks Naina.
Shutting his eyes Rajveer looks heavenwards.
Naina gets nervous on thinking about the fact that Rajveer's life might be in danger.
Shutting his eyes Rajveer looks heavenwards.
Naina gets nervous on thinking about the fact that Rajveer's life might be in danger.
"Naina... Naina please... please don't panick. Mujhe kuch nahi hone wala",
assures Rajveer.
But nothing could relax Naina.
"Aap... aap kya keh rahe the unse?",
she asks again.
"Please Sir, I know mujhe koi haq nahi hai ke maine aap dono ke beech mein bolun but still I insist. Iske badle aap mujhe jo kahenge, main karne ko taiyar hun!",
she promises, her whole demeanour radiating tension.
"Relax Naina!",
says Rajveer, calming her down, as he feels concerned and frankly touched too, on seeing her concerned about him.
"Dekho Naina, main tumse wo baat share nahi kar sakta it's against the rules",
says Rajveer.
"Rules?",
blurts Naina, burning with rage.
"Apko lagta hai ke main apke aur mere beech ki baat kisi aur ko ja kar kahungi?",
asks Naina, raising her voice.
Rajveer notices how she is hurt by his words.
"Naina please mujhe galat mat samjho, mera wo matlab nahi tha!",
Rajveer tries to reason with her.
"Dekho you know main yahan ek secret mission par hun. Jin jin ko iss mission ke barey mein pata chalega unki jaan ko khatra hoga. And I don't want to drag anyone into this, least of all you!",
explains Rajveer, anxious that she gives up her idea of knowing about the issue.
Naina stares him in utter surprise.
"Are you serious?",
asks Naina, feeling ridiculous.
"How can you imagine ke main apko inn sub baaton mein akele rehne dungi?",
asks Naina, seeing him in a state of astonishment.
"Tum akele nahi rehne dogi isiliye nahi bol raha tha tumhe kuch!",
shouts Rajveer, losing his patience.
Naina does get scared, but keeps her stand!
Looking heavenwards, Rajveer calms himself down.
"Naina please samjhne ki koshish karo..."
"No! Aap samjhne ki koshish karo! First ye ki ab jo main janti hun ke there is something fishy going on I need to know everything. Okay if not everything but something!"
And as Rajveer was about to reply, Naina interrupts,
"And that 'something' kis hadd tak hoga wo main decide karungi. Otherwise I know you won't talk upto my satisfaction".
Shutting his eyes, cursing his lucks, he mummers,
"Pata nahi kis ghadi mein tumhe apni protegee banane ka faisla liya tha!"
Naina doesn't fail to hear him. Narrowing her eyes on him, she corrects him,
"Excuse me, faisla apne mujhey apni protegee banane ka nahi liya tha. Faisla maine liya tha apko apna mentor banane ka!"
Staring each other, challenging each other for fraction of seconds, they both burst into laughs.
(Rajveer-Naina happy flute tune begins)
Getting serious, she demands,
"Ab batayiye mujhe! Apne kaha KMA ka koi ander ka vyakti iss mein involved hai. How can you say that?"
Taking a deep breath, shaking his head while staring an adament Naina, Rajveer tells her...
"Naina KMA se kuch ammunition churaye jane ki koshish ki gayi hai. Aur ye sub kuch camera ne capture kiya",
saying that Rajveer shows her the file bearing the evidences of the same.
But as he opens the file he realizes the papers are missing.
"What...!!! Papers kahan gaye?",
asks Rajveer, exasperated, searching the file in vain.
Slowly, Naina produces the papers from behind her.
Rajveer gets utterly surprised. Getting angry, he shouts at her,
"Why did you do that Naina?"
"Aap par bhi humla hua tha na?",
asks Naina, suspiciously.
"Ye... tum kaise janti ho?",
asks Rajveer, surprised on discovering that she knows about it.
"Alekh ne bataya!",
says Naina, cascading down her eyes.
The fact that he didn't tell it to her, hurts her. Rajveer doesn't fail to realize her emotions.
"Naina... Naina it's just that I didn't want you to panick. I...",
Rajveer trails off, unaware of what he wants to say exactly.
"Panick? Yeah right! Aur apko laga ke ye baat mujhse humesha chupi rahegi?",
ask Naina, accusingly.
"Would you mind explaining me the reason of this mark on your left cheek?",
asks Naina, burning with anger.
(Rajveer-Naina piano and xylophone tune begins as they stare each other)
Rajveer's heartbeat skips a beat on realizing that she did notice the mark, although it was a minute mark.
Naina stares him, conveying him silently through her eyes that she doesn't need to go closer to him to know him, because she already knows him completely!
Naina lowers her eyes, feeling shy, feeling slightly afraid that has she crossed her limits?
Rajveer feels touched! His eyes soften.
"Agar apko kuch ho jata to?",
says Naina, looking towards Rajveer, afraid.
Before Rajveer could say anything, Lala Gehlot pushes the door open and intervenes,
"To tum humare paas nahi, hum tumhare paas hote!"
His sudden voice skips the heartbeats of both Rajveer and Naina. While Rajveer looks towards his mentor, his god father apologetically; Naina looks towards him suspeciously yet again.
'Why did he have to return?',
thinks Naina, giving him a piercing look.
"Lala Sahab aap gaye nahi?",
asks Rajveer, gaining back his equilibrium.
"Hum keys bhul gaye the yahan",
and he points towards his keys kept on the centre table.
Rajveer and Naina turn to look towards the keys. Rajveer smiles. Then turning back, taking a deep breath, he scolds Lala Gehlot lovingly,
"Apni cheezon ka bilkul khyal nahi hai na apko? Itne laparwah?"
Naina's creased brows and wrinkled nose crease and wrinkles all the more as she doesn't get good vibes from Lala Gehlot as usual.
"Har baat ki chinta hai humein. Har baat ka dhyan",
smiles Lala Gehlot, then turns to look towards Naina, smiling constantly.
Naina doesn't return back his smile and simply lowers her eyes.
As Lala Gehlot walks forth and picks up the keys, his eyes falls on Rajveer's hands which are hidden behind him, he discovers that Rajveer is holding a file in his hands. He doesn't stare long, as he didn't want to get caught, and looks away, waiting for Rajveer himself to mention about the file.
Hugging Rajveer for the last, inside waiting for Rajveer to say anything, he gets disappointed when Rajveer doesn't say anything and having no other choice, Lala Gehlot leaves.
"Naina mujhe Major Nayyer par shaq hai!",
says Rajveer after Lala Gehlot leaves.
"Major Nayyer?",
asks Naina, knitting her brows.
"Security cameras tak sirf wohi pohnch sakte hain. Aur kal raat security camera ki setting kuch der ke liye badli bhi gayi thi. Taki ghatna ke waqt wahan jo kuch bhi ho raha hai, wo record na ho sakey!",
informs Rajveer.
This comes as a surprise for Naina.
"There is something major happening!",
says Rajveer, concerned.
"Apko shaq hai ya yakeen?",
asks Naina.
Looking towards her, he tells her,
"Naina Col. Shakti Chandra ne mujhe bataya tha, ke KMA mein jo kuch bhi ho raha hai inn sub mein kayi senior officers bhi involved hain!"
This comes as another surprise for Naina.
"Bus ek baar... kisi bhi tarah main unn tak pohnch jaun!",
says Rajveer, taking a deep breath.
Smiling reassuringly, Naina says,
"Don't worry Sir, I am sure aap ye matter achi tarah solve kar lenge".
Rajveer looks towards her, the trust on him that her eyes reflect, touches his heart.
(Slow Rajveer-Naina flute tune begins)
Standing outside his room, Lala Gehlot overhears the conversation that took place between Rajveer and Naina and mummers to himself,
"Pohnch to tum jaoge... hum jante hain!"
And giving a last glare towards him, Lala Gehlot leaves.
~*~*~
"Alright Naina maine wo kiya jo tumne kaha. Bata di tumhe puri baat",
says Rajveer.
"Ab tum wo karo jo tumne kaha tha! Wada nibhane ka time aa gaya hai!",
says Rajveer, looking intently towards Naina with a naughty smile on his face.
"Wada? Kaisa wada?",
asks Naina, knitting her brows, blushing.
"Tumne kaha tha na ke agar maine tumse ye baat share kar di to tum wo karogi jo main kahunga? So taiyar ho waada nibhane ke liye?",
asks Rajveer, with the same expressions intact on his face.
Naina's cheeks turn deep shades of red and she lowers her eyes. Feeling utterly uncomfortable, she doesn't even smile at his tease. Her this gesture makes Rajveer to fall for her all the more.
"Kya hua? Agar darr gai to bol do!",
teases Rajveer, standing in front of her, holding his waist from either sides, staring her with a naughty smile on his face.
His challenge makes her determined to do whatever he demands for. Her heartbeat picks up pace. Taking a deep breath, Naina looks into his eyes with full determination.
"Boliye kya karna hoga mujhey?",
she asks, determined.
Smirking, teasingly, he taunts her,
"Rehne do! Nahi kar paogi!",
and starts walking away from her.
This ignites her anger and jealousy of being looked down upon. Raising her voice, she asks him,
"How can you say that?"
"I am sure tumse nahi hoga!",
smirks Rajveer.
His words puzzle Naina. Knitting her brows she looks towards the ground and mummers, thoughtfully,
"Nahi hoga?"
Then looking back towards him, her brows still knitted, she asks,
"Kya nahi hoga?"
Taking his time, staring her, enjoying witnessing her in a state of confusion, Rajveer taunts her on purpose,
"Rehne do Naina! Tum kar hi nahi sakti. Aaahh... forget it!",
and gestures with his hand, looking away, as if he is just dropping the idea altogether.
"Aap mujhe jante kitna hai ke aap ye faisla kar sakein ke main kya kar sakti hun aur kya nahi? After all humein mile hue waqt hi kitna hua hai?",
says an irritated Naina, knitting her brows.
This makes Rajveer to look towards her, smiling slightly, his eyes twinkling.
"Right! Abhi to bohot kuch janna baki hai!",
says Rajveer, looking straight into her eyes.
(Slow Rajveer-Naina flute tune begins)
"Himmat hai karne ki?",
he asks, looking into her eyes.
(Slow Rajveer-Naina flute tune continues as they stare each other)
Getting nervous, Naina slowly lowers her eyes and places a strand of her hair behind her ear.
Smiling at her nervousness, Rajveer frees her by saying,
"Rehne do Naina. Nahi chahiye mujhe kuch tumse!"
(Rajveer-Naina guitar tune begins)
Naina looks towards him in surprise. Knitting her brows and with a constant smile on her face, she asks him, her voice low,
"Kyun? Kya hua?"
(Rajveer-Naina flute tune begins)
Staring her throughout, Rajveer shakes his head in slow succession.
Naina doesn't understand why she gets desperate to hug him! She feels embarrassed about thinking that way. Afterall he is her mentor how could she think that way about him?
"Shayad tum tayaar nahi!",
he says, smiling a little.
(Rajveer-Naina flute tune continues as they stare each other)
Naina's cheeks warm up under his constant gaze. She feels glad that he understands her situation. Smiling a little, nervouzly, looking at him, she promises,
"Mujhe thoda waqt chahiye".
Smiling, as his heart swells on listening to her words. Relaxed that at least she said something! Even this minute hint means a lot to him today. And about keeping patience, no one can beat Rajveer on that. For her he bears extra patience. Smiling, he assures her that she can take as much time as she needs. Smiling back at him, a smile that indicates her gratitude towards him, for understanding her, Naina shyfully asks his permission to leave. Rajveer nods into affirmative.
(Rajveer-Naina flute tune continues)
Enjoying the stare for little more, Naina smiles one last time and leaves.
-THE END-
(10.4.2018)
(Rajveer-Naina tune begins)
They keep staring each other. Naina's heartbeat picks up pace as she anticipates what he must have wanted to say. She realizes how utterly shy she is feeling and is unable to even think what he must have wanted to say. Suddenly she gets desperate to hear from him, what exactly he felt!
At this moment, Naina curses Alekh all the more as she thinks how she would have pricked him to know what he felt that day. She of course didn't feel anything out of the box. She ponders into that situation. Oh yes, may be she did! She felt alive after a long time. She laughed her lungs out after what felt like eternity. She was being her, for the first time since she joined the academy. These were fresh feelings for her indeed, but just these!
She realizes - what a fool she was that she didn't enjoy the moment as much as she could! And her heart skips a beat as yet another realization dawns upon her - was this the reason that he accepted the solitary confinement without any argument?
She starts sweating in a fully air conditioned room!
What was that look that he gave her when Suriji gestured him to move forward when he got the punishment of solitary confinement?
She slowly looks towards him, the blood drains out of her face. As she finds him staring her, she quickly lowers her eyes out of hesitation and awkwardness. Now she feels like running away from there. She has discovered something new today but contradictory to other times and to her utter surprise, she doesn't want to share it with her mentor, not yet!
Rajveer doesn't fail to notice her any reaction. His heart skips a beat and blood drains out of his face too as he anticipates did she read him during the mentorship programme? Has he confessed her already, even before confessing in front of Naveen? Although the confession might have been silent, but did she understand? Was he fool to not understand that he has already confessed her?
She arches a brow, prompting him.
Staring her throughout, he asks her,
"Tumhe bilkul sharam nahi ayi ke tum mujh par hans rahi thi? Apne... apne... mentor par?",
hurt audible in his voice.
This made her to laugh out loud which in return makes Rajveer feel all the more hurt.
"Naina... Naina will you stop laughing?",
he scolds her.
She out of excitement was about to say something but suddenly she remembers, and holds back her tongue.
"Tum fir mera mazak uda rahi ho!",
reminds Rajveer, narrowing his eyes on her.
Frustrated on being laughed upon, Rajveer turns to leave, but Naina holds his hand, refraining him from leaving.
Rajveer turns to look towards her, irritated still. But as he finds her looking towards him with that one look which makes him realize how much he means to her, his expression changes.
The fact that he gets teased so easily, makes Naina to laugh again but this time she keeps the laughter low knowing that it would get him angry again.
Rajveer enjoys staring the same carefree Naina that he witnessed that day. A smile creeps on his lips. Soon he blushes.
"Tumhe nahi lagta tumhari himmat kuch zada hi barh gayi hai?",
he asks.
(Rajveer-Naina tune begins)
His question makes Naina's heart to skip a beat and she turns serious. And secretly, Rajveer feels like raising his collar out of praise. He has got Naina at last how he wanted her! No denial he was enjoying seeing her laughing but then it is about his self respect too in front of Naina. He cannot compromise with that in front of her. She needs to remember between the two who plays the dominant role! But then it's all true that he certainly enjoys seeing the dominant side of Naina's too, it does give him adrenaline rush, but why telling her everything? Few things must be kept under wraps for your own good!
Getting away from her, Rajveer begins to read the copy. Sitting on the bed at a corner, he teases her,
"Hmmm... dekhein zara kya kya karnamein karte ho tum log!"
Naina's heartbeat picks up pace.
Completely aware that it's her handwriting, he chooses to read her song first,
"Jadu sa chaney laga,
pagal banane laga.
Kuch yaad aane laga,
kuch bhul janey laga.
Kya na kare kya kare,
ye dil kya kare"
"Nice song!",
teases Rajveer.
Naina glares him which Rajveer chooses to ignore.
"Waise tumhe dekh kar lagta nahi hai ke tum aise ganey bhi sunti hogi!",
he teases her further and purses his lips, as he gauges her reactions.
His tease irks her. She starts taking deep breath and glares him as if wanting to scold him for teasing her but is helpless. Rajveer doesn't fail to notice all that.
"Kamaal hai Naina amazing will power and resistance power you have!",
compliments Rajveer, almost like a tease!
"You know it will surely turn out to be very beneficial in many ways!",
says Rajveer, and stares her long.
(Rajveer-Naina tune begins)
His that long stare conveys Naina what exactly is he pointing towards. This makes her inside to churn and she lowers her eyes slowly, out of sheer blush.
Clearing his throat, he focuses back on the notebook. Naina gets out of the reverie and feels utterly shy.
"Waise aur kon kon se ganey sunti ho tum Naina?",
asks Rajveer, thinking that may be now she would reply at last.
Naina chooses to ignore understanding his plan to make her talk. Sitting on his bed, Rajveer flips through the pages and halts on a page where he gets a glimps of his name but before he could read properly, Naina getting alert reaches him to snatch the copy off his hand. But being the master of strategies and communication, Rajveer had already anticipated her strategy and pulls back his hand before she could reach for the copy.
As it happens so quickly, Naina stumbles, because she doesn't notice that his foot is becoming a hurdle on the route to reach him. Somehow Rajveer realizes the fall and gets ready to hold her, this happens with in moments and they land together on his bed such that Naina is upon Rajveer and Rajveer's left arm is engulfing her waist safely while his right elbow presses the bed. Naina feels the heat radiated by his face touching her face but it doesn't really affect her as the warmth emitted by her cheeks give competition to his!
Hmm...
Kaise, jiunga kaise?
Bataa de mujhko
Tere bina!
Kaise, jiyunga kaise?
Bataa de mujhko
Tere bina
As Rajveer stares Naina, he realizes how much he is craving to hear Naina. On the other hand Naina gets frustrated again by the fact that she is not permitted to speak. But suddenly she lowers her eyes and her cheeks start warming up. Her this gesture takes Rajveer by surprise! What is up with her? Is she feeling offended by the closeness?
Tera mera jahaan
Le chalun main wahaan
Koi tujhko na mujhse chura le
Rakh loon aankhon mein main
Kholun palke na main
Koi tujhko na mujhse chura le
Main andheron se ghira hoon
Rajveer's heartbeat picks up pace as an unwelcoming thought enters his mind - has she been prohibited by someone from talking to him? And as he tries to think of the person who might possibly do that he doesn't understand why this time instead of thinking about Huda, like always, the first name that comes to his mind is that of Captain Chauhan! A ping of jealousy surges through him on think about the possibility.
Unable to bear the frustration anymore, he shoots up the question,
"Kisne mana kiya hai tumhe mujhse baat karne ke liye?"
This skips Naina's heartbeat, she realizes that he understands that someone must have prohibited her from talking to him or else she herself would never have done that! As a result Naina creases her brows, as it becomes unbearable for her to see Rajveer in anger and frustration.
Naina feels like telling him that it's Alekh.
Before she could think about tackling this situation, Rajveer shoots up another question,
"Chauhan ne?"
His question shocks Naina! She widens her eyes in utter disbelief! Where the hell is he going with this?
Aa dikha de tu mujhko savera mera
Main bhatakta ik Musafir
Aa dila de tu mujhko basera mera
Jaagi jaagi raatein meri
Roshan tujhse hai savera
Tu hi mere jeene ki wajah
She reads his eyes, his desperation of getting an answer. As if he is puzzled about something. About what to do? Where to go? Her and only her reply can drag him out of this state of chaos.
They keep staring each other, both bearing the emotions of pain in their eyes.
Naina realizes the posture they are in at the moment. Feeling utterly shy and embarrassed, Naina quickly gets up. Rajveer too realizes what they must have looked like the whole time and feels frustrated about not being able to control this situation. He even realizes that he shouldn't have asked her the question. But now it's too late to rectify! He slowly with all his doubts about Naina's mood and reply on hearing his question, looks towards her.
Jab tak hain ye saansein meri
Inpe hai sadaa haq tera
Poori hai tujhse meri duaa
What he discovers, surprises him! Instead of getting angry, she looks towards him bearing a feeling of pain and regret in her eyes. He feels as if through her eyes she is transmitting him the message that she is not liking his this attitude towards her. Why this anger? Why this jealousy?
Tera mera jahaan
le chalun main wahan
Koi tujhko na mujhse chura le
Rakh loon aankhon mein main
Kholun palke na main
Koi tujhko na mujhse chura le
Main andheron se ghira hoon
Aa dikha de tu mujhko savera mera
Main bhatakta ik Musafir
Aa dila de tu mujhko basera mera
A pinch of smile comes on his face and he stares her lovingly - her creased forehead; her eyes bearing emotions that he succeeds in reading well enough; her nose - red out of anger; her trembling lips. He feels like capturing her look into his eyes so that he can cherish it forever. Secretly he promises himself that he would never let her go anywhere, whatever might be the circumstances! Even if that means hurting himself in the process; he will make sure about her safety.
He knows that his past is not a bright one. He accepts hers is also not full of glitters but he promises himself to make sure that her future shall be decorated with nothing but golden stars! And he wouldn't mind being the reason of that most of the times!
Kaise, jiungi kaise?
Bataa de mujhko
Tere bina!
Kaise, jiyungi kaise?
Bataa de mujhko
Tere bina
Tera mera jahaan
Le chalun main wahaan
Koi tujhko na mujhse chura le
Rakh loon aankhon mein main
Kholun palke na main
Koi tujhko na mujhse chura le
Main andheron se ghira hoon
Aa dikha de tu mujhko savera mera
Main bhatakta ik Musafir
Aa dila de tu mujhko basera mera
Sitting straight, he keeps staring a flabbergasted Naina in front of him. She surely is unable to get over the situation they were into, moments ago. She can always complain if she wants to. But hell! she can complain only if she speaks up! The realization yet again, frustrates Rajveer and he chooses to let go off the topic.
"Anyways let's see what's next!",
he says, taking a deep breath, shrugging off his thoughts.
Naina gets nervous yet again. She looks towards him nervously and he gets busy flipping the pages. As he flips yet another page, his eyes catch his name been written there at the top most right corner of a page, with lots of hearts surrounding his name. At first it skips his heartbeat.
(Slow Rajveer-Naina flute tune begins)
A blush creeps on Rajveer's cheeks. Naina doesn't fail to notice it. She dies inside, anticipating that he must have read it.
Smiling, staring his name, he traces the alphabets of his name with his index finger. R... A... J... V... E... E... R... The smile extends as he realizes she didn't waste her time on adding the suffix 'Sir' with his name. He feels relieved! Having done that, he shoots his eyes towards Naina, who is blushing profusely; feeling ashamed on her behavior.
"Rajvee..r!",
he says looking towards her, streteching his name on purpose, just to let the feeling linger between them.
Naina blushes further.
"Kon hai tumhari zindagi mein?",
he asks suddenly, completing the line he trailed above.
This skips Naina's heartbeat. She immediately looks towards him to check his expression. Is he seriously asking her?
Sitting straight, taking a deep breath, looking straight into her eyes, he gives her answer silently,
'Yes I am asking YOU!'
That is it, she can't do this anymore!
"Mujhe copy wapas chahiye",
she finally speaks, extending her right hand forward. Ignoring to look towards him.
A fresh smile comes on his face. A smile of satisfaction of having finally heard her. A smile of victory, that finally he could make her speak. But of course deep down he admits she really did a commendable job by staying quiet for this long. He really had to deal with her silence a lot. Although it might not be 'a lot' in the eyes of others but a person who takes Naina's constant blabber as his daily dose; an addiction, ask him how it feels when you don't get it! Ask Rajveer!
Without any argument, smiling, he places back the copy on her hand. Naina looks towards him, surprised! He didn't argue! He didn't ask for explanation.
But how can you expect Naina that he would let you go so easily?
"Kyun nahi baat kar rahi mujhse tum?",
he asks, anger surging through him.
His eyes still soft, almost like pleading her to reply.
Naina shoots him an angry look.
"Apki wajah se!",
she scolds.
Rajveer gets taken aback by her accusation.
"Meri... Meri wajah se? Maine kya kiya?",
asks Rajveer.
"Apne kya kiya? Agar aap appraisals mein jeet jatey to ye sub nahi hota!",
she scolds further.
This is crazy. He is losing his cool now.
First she ended talking to him just like that, without any warning and now she has the audacity to blame him for all this?
"Wait! Wait! Wait! How does your not talking to me related to my losing in the appraisals?",
he asks, confused.
More than his failing in appraisals, the fact that her not talking to him is because of his failure, irritates him all the more.
"Naina, tum mujhse isliye baat nahi kar rahi thi kyun main jeeta nahi?",
he asks in utter disbelief.
His own words sound fake to him! This cannot be her Cadet Naina 'Ah' Singh. This cannot be her Naina!
Naina widens her eyes as the realization dawns upon her.
No! No! No! He is taking it all wrong!
She curses Alekh for the umpteenth time today!
Naina shoots him an angry look.
"Apki wajah se!",
she scolds.
Rajveer gets taken aback by her accusation and also he didn't expect her speaking suddenly!
"Meri... Meri wajah se? Maine kya kiya?",
asks Rajveer.
"Apne kya kiya? Agar aap appraisals mein jeet jatey to ye sub nahi hota!",
she scolds further.
This is crazy. He is losing his cool now.
First she ended talking to him just like that, without any warning and now she has the audacity to blame him for all this?
"Wait! Wait! Wait! How does your not talking to me related to my losing in the appraisals?",
he asks, confused.
More than his failing in appraisals, the fact that her not talking to him is because of his failure, irritates him all the more.
"Naina, tum mujhse isliye baat nahi kar rahi thi kyun main jeeta nahi?",
he asks in utter disbelief.
His own words sound fake to him! This cannot be her Cadet Naina 'Ah' Singh. This cannot be her Naina!
Naina widens her eyes as the realization dawns upon her.
No! No! No! He is taking it all wrong!
She curses Alekh for the umpteenth time today!
"Aisa sochte hain aap mere barey mein?",
accuses Naina.
Smiling sarcastically, he says,
"Well tumhari baat ka matlab to yahi nikal raha hai Naina."
Then suddenly he says, his words full of sarcasm,
"Oh! Shayad tumhe Captain Chauhan se baat karne mein ab zada interest ho!"
Naina stares him shocked!
"Aisa main nahi aap keh rhe hain!",
she shouts.
This gets Naina angry all the more!
"Mujhe apse baat hi nahi karni!",
declares Naina.
"Tumhara maunvrat todne ko maine tumse nahi kaha tha!",
says Rajveer, showing off attitude, shrugging off what she just said.
Naina gives him an 'I don't believe you' look!
"Apne nahi kaha tha?",
shouts Naina.
"Of course! Maine kab kaha?",
says Rajveer, daring her.
"Tum kuch bol kyun nahi rahi?",
she shouts and skips Rajveer's heartbeat.
Plastering a smile on her face, she asks,
"Aisa bol kar kon chilaya tha?"
Rajveer blushes and laughs.
"Acha fine sorry!",
he apologizes, smiling.
"Ab mujhe bataogi hua kya? Tum mujhse baat kyun nahi kar rahi thi?",
asks Rajveer, knitting his brows, eager to know the reason.
"Apke pyare Alekh ki wajah se!",
declares Naina, pissed off!
"Alekh?",
asks Rajveer, unable to understand how can he be the reason.
"Kya Alekh? Usne kya kiya?",
he asks.
"Shart lagayi thi usne ke agar Captain Abhimanyu jeet gaye to ek hafte tak main apse baat nahi karungi!",
she declares, pissed off!
Rajveer feels the blood rush.
He shouts,
"Aur tumne maan liya?"
His sudden out burst skips Naina's heartbeat. Why is he this angry? She looks towards him, confused.
"I don't believe this Naina! Bachpane ki hadd hoti hai!",
he shouts.
"Tum... tumne ye socha ke main... main kaise...",
he says, indicating towards himself with his index finger, then trails off!
This skips Naina's heartbeat. She understands what he was about to say further! This comes as a shock for him!
"Aur... aur tumne kya socha tha ki issi tarah tum apne ghar bhi chali jaogi mujhse bina baat kiye, right?",
asks Rajveer, scolding her.
Her heart sinks all the more.
"You know what? You continue with your 'maunvrat' n all! Now I'll make sure ke ye maunvrat tumhara ek hafte to kya kabhi bhi na tute!",
he scolds her, looking straight into her eyes.
Naina feels timid!
Never looking away from her, he says,
"Aur ye Alekh... isko to main chorunga nahi!"
Naina purses her lips to control her fit of laughter.
Rajveer gives her a stern look and warns her,
"Stop laughing!"
"Do you even know mujhe kitna gussa aa raha hai?",
he asks.
"Kyun?",
she asks plainly, looking straight into his eyes.
Her sudden bold question skips his heartbeat and he realizes what was he doing! He lowers his eyes. Naina keeps staring him.
Slowly, looking back towards her he decides to plaster his pissed off look back onto his face,
"Mujhe tumse baat hi nahi karni! Tum karo jo tumhara dost tumse keh raha tha! Bye!"
Naina stares him wide eye! He is asking her to leave? Really? Rajveer gives her a tough competition and stares back, confident!
Taking a deep breath, she says with confidence,
"Fine! Bye!",
stomping her foot, she leaves!
