Left Right Left - Beginning of Love - Page 3

"WHAT IS THE TRUTH?"

yells Rajveer.

Naina closes her eyes out of fear and pain. Since he dragged her which made her right leg to hurt more because of the wound. Naina is now trapped between the wall and Rajveer.

He stares at her for few seconds. His eyes blazing with anger and frustration. Rajveer looks at Naina who's eyes are closed. Realising what he is doing, he leaves her elbow and takes few steps back.

Naina realises that he is not holding her elbow anymore. She finally opens her eyes and looks at him. He is standing few steps away from her, but still gazing at her.

"I am sorry!"

Apologizes Rajveer.

"Lekin is ka mathlab ye nahi ke tum mere sawaloon se bach jaogi!"

says Rajveer sternly.

Naina does not say anything. Her eyes are cascaded downwards and brimming with tears. She is on the edge of crying out loud. What is she suppose to answer him? That she is the sister of a traitor? What if he misunderstands her as well? No, she cannot let anyone come between her motive, motive to prove her brother innocent.

Rajveer's gaze falls on her right leg and the Mess incident crosses his mind. He knows this is the right time to question her about ir.

"Tumhe ye choot kaise lagi?"

asks Rajveer, pointing his index finger towards her wound.

Naina looks towards where he is pointing.

"Mujhe wo bed..."

she starts saying but gets interrupted by Rajveer.

"Jhoot bolne ki koshish bhi mut karna Naina. Kya tumhe ye Mess mein lagi thi ya nahi?"

asks Rajveer, raising his voice a little.

"Sir wo..."

stammers Naina

"Haan ya na?"

asks Rajveer, raising his voice a little.

"Yes sir!"

replies Naina

Rajveer keeps staring at Naina for couple of minutes while Naina's eyes are cascaded downwards. She does not dare to look him in the eyes.

Turning around, he crosses his arms over his chest. So now his back is towards Naina and Naina is still standing by the wall, constantly looking at the floor.

"Aap Mess mein itni raat ko kya kar rahi thi Cadet Singh? Aise chup chup ke? Ye kaam toh spies ka hota hai na!"

says Rajveer.

Naina looks up immediately after hearing all this. Today she found out that he is doubting on her to be the spy. This is when she loses her temper. How can he even think that? Just because she acts different than the other cadets, does not mean he can doubt on her.

Her eyes starts blazing with anger and frustration. Her right hand turns into a fist. Angrily, she walks towards Rajveer and now stands in front of him.

Rajveer gets a shock with this sudden behaviour of Naina's. she is looking straight into his eyes, with full confidence. He hasn't seen her like this before.

"I am not a spy sir!"

declares Naina, looking straight in his eyes.

"Or aap jo baar baar..."

she continues further, raising her voice, but stops by Rajveer's signal.

Rajveer signals her to keep her voice down with his index finger pointing towards her.

Taking his signal as an order, she looks at his finger first then looks back at him.

"Or aap jo baar baar keh rahe hain mujhe kuch samajh mein nahi aa raha!"

she completes her sentence.

"Or ab toh mujhe lagta hai ke aap chahte hi nahi hain ke mein is academy mein rahoon issiliye.."

says Naina, sternly.

Rajveer just looks at her while a smile creeps on his lips.

"Or issiliye mein tum par jaan boojh kar jhootay ilzaam laga raha hoon!"

he completes her unsaid words!

"Interesting! Offense is the best form of defense! Ye kahawat aap kafi follow karti hain!"

says Rajveer, smirking.

Naina keeps staring at Rajveer. Her anger reaches to another level. While Rajveer's smile gets wider seeing her irritation.

He takes two steps towards her. Crossing his arms over his chest, he looks intensity in her eyes.

"Aap thodi se roshni is baat pe bhi daaleingi ke aap itni raat ko Mess mein kya kar rahi thi?"

he asks her, sternly.

Naina has lost it all today. She is not able to control her anger. Not wanting to answer his questions anymore, she starts walking from there towards the door to go out.

This action of Naina succeeds in making Rajveer angry. Before Naina could open his door and get out, he quickly walks towards her. Grabbing her right hand's wrist with his right hand, he swings her around while shutting the door in anger with his left hand.

"Tum mere sawaloon ke jawab diye bagair yahan se nahi ja sakti Naina!"

says Rajveer, keeping a firm grip on her wrist.

Naina's heartbeat picks up pace with this sudden action of Rajveer's. She struggles to get out of his hold, but he is also Captain Rajveer Singh Shekhawat. He will not give up so easily. He makes no effort to pay attention towards her protests, in fact he keeps a firm hold. He knows her well enough; if a chance is given, she won't think twice before escaping.

"Choriye mera hath!"

says Naina, struggling to free her hand.

Rajveer keeps looking at Naina with anger. Today's assembly incident starts to play in his head again, how Naina took Huda's hand for help. Jealousy and anger is clearly visible in his eyes. Instead of leaving her wrist, he pulls her a little and brings her a little closer.

"Kyun? Tumhe itni problem kyun ho rahi hai? Jab Cadet Huda ka hath pakda tha tumne, tab tumhe problem nahi hui?"

asks Rajveer, sternly.

His voice reflects his jealousy. This succeeds in making her heart to skip a beat. Naina's eyes gets widened. She was not expecting this from Rajveer. She immediately looks up in Rajveer's eyes, surprisingly. She is not able to understand why he asked this sudden question.

"Kya?"

she asks him surprisingly.

This succeeds in making Rajveer angrier. She knows exactly what he is talking about, but she is pretending.

"Tum achi tarah se janti ho ke mein kya keh raha hoon!"

says Rajveer, raising his voice a little.

With this sudden yelling, Naina jerks. Her eyes starts blazing with anger . In anger, she jerks his hand off from her wrist.

"Kya janna chahte hain aap?"

yells Naina.

"Sach!"

Rajveer yells back.

Boys Hostel

Tip toeing, Pooja reaches in front of Ali's and Alekh's room. She looks towards her left, then towards her right to make sure no one is watching her.

Carefully, she extends her right hand to open the door. Pushing the door open with her full force, Pooja gets into the room.

"ROHIT!!"

yells Pooja as she gets inside.

She gets stunned by finding a shirtless Ali standing in front of her. Ali gets shocked on finding Pooja in his room and that too at this time. Quickly reaching his closet, he opens it and takes out a shirt. After wearing his shirt, he reaches in front of Pooja.

"Aap hamaray kamre mein kya kar rahi hain?"

asks Ali, raising his voice.

Pooja does not pay attention towards Ali. She keeps looking around the room to find Rohit. This irritates Ali.

"Hum aapse baat kar rahe hain Pooja. Aap yahan kia kar rahi hain?"

yells Ali.

This drags Pooja's attention towards Ali. She stops searching the entire room and looks towards Ali.

"Aray mein toh apnay Rohit ko dhoondh rahi hoon!"

says Pooja

Alekh, who was trying to sleep, he gets up and sits on his bed, in irritation.

"Kaun Rohit? Yahan koi Rohit nahi hai!"

says Ali, getting irritated.

"Rohit, mera ranjha! Lekin mujhe toh kaha gayya tha ke Rohit yahi hai."

says Pooja, getting confused.

This succeeds in making Ali angry. First, she walked in his room, that too without even knocking. Secondly, she is not planning to even move from here.

Right at that moment, Huda and Yudi barges in their room. The sound of the door drags Ali's, Pooja's and Alekh's attention.

Walking in, Huda goes and stands near Ali and Pooja. Huda puts a hand over Ali's shoulder.

"Aray wah usool, tu toh bohut fast nikla!"

says Huda.

Ali gets more annoyed and looks towards Huda. He jerks Huda's hand off his shoulder and stands at a good distance from him.

"Kya mathlab kya hai aapka?"

asks Ali, sternly.

Huda smirks on seeing Ali getting angry.

"Aray usool itna bhoola kyun ban raha hai. Pooja ko apne room mein bula ke tu mujhse pooch raha hai?"

says Huda, smirking.

This comment of Huda's succeeds in bringing Ali's anger up. Ali's right hand turns into a fist. Turning around, he goes to punch Huda when suddenly Yudi comes and intervenes.

"Can you guys stop fighting?"

yells Yudi.

Ali relaxes a little while Huda smirks. Pooja has been observing all this while Alekh does not even care. Angrily Pooja walks up to Ali.

"Ali tujhe toh hamesha ladna hi hota hai. Aaj se tera or mera connection cut."

says Pooja, angrily.

With that, Pooja marches out of the room. Huda and Yudi also heads towards the door to get out.

"Lekin Pooja hamari baat toh suniye!"

yells Ali from the back, trying to call Pooja, but by that time, Pooja is gone already.

In frustration, Ali punches the wall while Alekh just lays back in bed and covers his face with his blanket.

Infirmary

Dr. Shalini is reading some important files when a knock is heard on the door.

"Come in!"

says Dr. Shalini looking up.

Pushing the door open, Dr. Mishra walks in, with a gorgeous smile on her face. A smile also creeps on Dr. Shalini's lips on finding Ritu there.

"Aray Dr. Mishra aap? Please have a seat!"

says Dr. Shalini, smilingly.

Walking towards Ritu, Shalini gestures her to take a seat. With a smile, Ritu takes a seat on one of the chairs.

"Please call me Ritu, Dr. Shalini!"

says Ritu

Shalini gives her a wide smile. Pouring some water in a glass, she offers it to Ritu! With a smile, Ritu takes that glass of water from Shalini's hand. With that, Dr. Shalini comes and sits next to Dr. Ritu.

"Phir aap bhi mujhe sirf Shalini bulayegi!"

says Dr. Shalini.

Taking a sip of water, Ritu nods her head in a yes!

"Acha Shalini tum toh Captain Rajveer ki academy days ki dost ho na?"

asks Ritu.

Dr. Shalini gets a little surprised on the sudden question. Where did Rajveer come from suddenly? Shalini senses something very fishy in Ritu's behaviour.

"Ji haan hum dono ek doosre ko academy days se jante hain!"

Shalini replies back,

A smile creeps on Ritu's lips.

Before Ritu could ask anything else, an orderly reaches there to let Ritu know that there is a very important phone call for her.

Getting up from her seat, Dr. Ritu wishes goodbye to Dr. Shalini and heads towards the door to get out of the infirmary. As soon as Dr. Ritu leaves, Dr. Shalini takes a sigh of relief and gets back to her work.

Rajveer's Room

Looking into each other's eyes deeply, they have been standing like this for the past 10 minutes, not wanting to utter a single word. Both of their eyes brimming with anger and frustration.

Where on one hand Naina is irritated by Rajveer's questions, and on the other hand, Rajveer is frustrated by Naina's ignorance. She is not ready to answer his questions.

Turning his right hand into a fist, Rajveer finally decides to break the ice.

"Mein tumse kuch pooch raha hoon Naina!"

says Rajveer, sternly.

Naina has had enough. She has lost all her patience. Rajveer's questions are irritating her to the core. She makes no effort to break the eye contact.

"Kya janna chahte hain aap?"

asks Naina, sternly.

Rajveer decides to ask all of the questions today. He has had enough of this Tom and Jerry game, he wants to make everything clear.

"Tum us raat Mess mein kya kar rahi thi?"

asks Rajveer, sternly.

Naina knows she did not do anything wrong, so why hide it? She decides to answer his question.

"Meri kamre mein pani nahi tha issi liye mein paani ka jug bharne aayi thi!"

answers Naina, with no emotions.

Now it's time for Rajveer's second question. He is Captain Rajveer Singh Shekhawat. He knows how to get his answers.

"Toh tum udhar se bhaagh kyun gaayi jab mein tum se baat karne ki koshish kar raha tha? Ab ye mut kehna ke tumhe pata nahi tha ke wo mein tha. Kyunke tum achi tarah se janti thi ke wo mein hi tha!"

says Rajveer.

"Batao ab kyun bhaaghi thi tum wahan se?"

he asks.

Naina listens to his every word carefully! Even she does not know why she ran away. Was she scared of his questions? Or is there another reason?

"Mein...mujhe nahi pata..."

says Naina, finally breaking the eye contact.

This makes Rajveer to smile. He is having a lot of fun seeing Naina's vulnerability. He turns around, so now his back is towards Naina.

"Nahi pata toh phir poochne ka kya faida! Chalo mein tumse kuch or sawal poochta hoon!"

says Rajveer, smirking.

Naina gets a little afraid and her heartbeat picks up pace. What is he about to ask? What is he up to?

"Tumne ye kyun chupaya ke tumhara poora naam Naina Singh Aaluwalia hai?"

asks Rajveer, sternly.

Naina's breath hitches. She knew this question was coming, but, she did not know it was going to come this soon. Is it the end of her lies? Does she have to tell him about her true identity? What is she suppose to answer?

Naina's both hands turns into a fist as she tries to gather some courage up to answer his questions. She shuts her eyes tightly. After few minutes, she looks up with full determination, but gets nervous again.

"Kyunke sir mujhe...mujhe choota last name pasand hai!"

Answers Naina, getting nervous.

Rajveer smirks by Naina's answer. What a stupid answer that she gave. Turning towards Naina, he crosses his arms over his chest.

"Oh really? Iska mathlab aapko jhoota address or galat phone number dena bhi pasand hai?"

asks Rajveer, smirking.

Naina gets nervous. She tries to think how he found out about her giving wrong address and wrong phone number.

"Aapko aise kyun lagta hai ke maine apna address or number galat dia hai?"

asks Naina, sternly.

Rajveer laughs a little at this question of Naina's.

"Aapko kya lagta hai Cadet Singh ke maine aap ke baare mein chaan been nahi ki?"

he asks her, smirking.

Naina gets more nervous. She knows that she has no way to escape because Rajveer has searched many things about her. She looks downwards nervously and she constantly changes her vision from one thing to another.

"Toh ab aap mujhe bataye ke kyun aap ne apna galat address or galat number dia?"

he repeats his question.

Naina gets nervous. She looks up immediately and takes two steps backwards. She looks everywhere else, but Rajveer.

"Sir..aisa...aisa bhi toh ho sakta hai ke academy se mere phone number or galat address likhne ki bhool hui ho?"

she asks him, nervously.

This irritates Rajveer. This girl has been telling one lie after the other and she expects him to believe it.

"Bhool toh aap ab kar rahi hain mujhse sach chupa ke!"

yells Rajveer.

Sudden yelling of Rajveer's jerks Naina.

Rajveer takes few steps towards Naina. Anger is evident in his eyes. He has lost all of his patience. Grabbing Naina by her shoulders, he makes his grip tight.

"KYA CHUPA RAHI HO TUM MUJHSE?"

asks Rajveer, literally yelling this time.

This sudden action of Rajveer's scares Naina and her heart skips a beat. Her eyes starts brimming with tears with his sudden questions. She has had enough of all this. She is not able to hide it anymore. Rajveer will find her truth out anyway, so, it's better to tell him herself.

Instead of tears, anger takes place in Naina's eyes. She feels frustrated and irritated with his constant questions. What the hell does he want? Why he is doing this? Why is he making her life hell? Why?

Naina, who has been looking down the whole time, she looks up in his eyes immediately. Jerking his hands off her shoulders, Naina takes two steps towards him.

Her right hand turns into a fist and her eyes reflects her anger. Rajveer gets stunned by this sudden change in Naina's behaviour and his heartbeat increases. Before he can say anything, Naina says something that shocks him.

"Aap jaanna chahte hain na ke mein kya chupa rahi hoon?"

she asks him, sternly.

"Yehi ke MEIN CAPTAIN NAVEEN SINGH AALUWALIA KI BEHAN HOON!!"

yells Naina.

Her face turns hot red out of anger. She had finally uttered those words which she did not want to tell anyone. But Rajveer made her life miserable. He was making it hard for her to stay in the academy.

On the other hand, Rajveer's eyes open wide. He is not able to believe his ears. Is she really the sister of Naveen? Is this the truth she was hiding from him the whole time? Rajveer feels like the Earth just slipped from under his feet.

He stands there looking at Naina with shocked expressions. He still didn't digest fully what Naina said.

Naina's anger reaches to anther level. She takes a step towards Rajveer. With her right hand's index finger, she points it towards Rajveer.

"Wo Naveen Singh Aaluwalia nahi jo ek desh drohi tha, bhalke wo Naveen Singh Aaluwalia jis ne is desh ke liye apni jaan dedi!"

she yells.

"Mein ye prove kar ke rahoongi ke mera bhai desh drohi nahi tha! SAMJHAY AAP?"

she yells further, more loudly and angrily this time.

Rajveer jerks with this sudden yelling from Naina and his heart skips a beat. His eyes starts tearing up seeing Naina's pain. He was not expecting this truth from her.

Before Rajveer could do or say something, Naina suddenly gets unconscious. Before she can fall on the ground, Rajveer quickly reaches towards her and saves her from falling down.

She is now in his arms, unconscious.

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

Holding her carefully, he puts his left arm around her waist, in order to support her from falling down. Rajveer stares at Naina's face. He adores her innocence and simplicity.

Right now, Rajveer is feeling extremely guilty for doubting her to be the spy. He behaved so rudely towards her and made her life hell. He is still not able to digest that Naina is Naveen's sister, his best friend's sister.

Yes Captain Naveen Singh Aaluwalia and Captain Rajveer Singh Shekhawat, they were room mates, batch mates, competitors, each other's admirers and best friends.

Rajveer remembers all those beautiful memories that he has spent with Naveen.

Flashback

Running around the mess with a glass of juice in his hand, Rajveer picks up his pace as he runs after Naveen. Rajveer is covered with rotten eggs and mashed potatoes.

Naveen has played a prank on Rajveer which turned him into this way.

"Raj! Yaar bus kar ab, maaf karde mujhe!!"

says Naveen, out of breath, running.

Naveen goes behind a table and tries to hide, but Rajveer catches him by his wrist before Naveen can move. Rajveer pours the juice of glass on Naveen's head.

"Saale tune meri ye halat ki or mujhe maaf karne ko bol raha hai? Tu ruk zara abhi!"

says Rajveer.

Reaching the front counter, Rajveer picks up tons of eggs and looks towards Naveen with a wicked smile. This is when Naveen realises what Rajveer is about to do.

"Raj...nahi Raj...salay ruk!!"

shouts Naveen.

But it has now been too late. Rajveer picks up an egg and aims it at Naveen and before Naveen can even do anything, Rajveer throws that egg on Naveen. In couple of minutes, Naveen is bombarded with 12 dozen eggs.

Naveen just stands there looking at himself, shocked. He is still not able to understand what exactly just happened with him. He looks up at Rajveer and sees him smirking.

"Hahahahahahahah"

laughs Rajveer, looking at Naveen

This irritates Naveen. With his right hand's index finger, Naveen points it towards Rajveer and fakes to be angry.

"Tu ruk salay..tujhe abhi mein batata hoon!"

shouts Naveen, faking his anger

As soon as Naveen takes a step towards Rajveer, he slips due to the juice that fell on the floor, and he ends up on the ground. Rajveer laughs more at this. In order to help Naveen, Rajveer takes few steps towards him.

He takes another step towards Naveen and

BOOM

Rajveer is now on the floor as well, along with Naveen. Unknowingly, Rajveer has also stepped on the juice, which led him to fall.

Rajveer knows Naveen is faking his anger. Without waiting for a single second, Rajveer hugs Naveen while Naveen hugs him back with the same intensity They both end up laughing out loud on their childish behaviour.

Flashback Ends

A tear escapes from his eyes as he remembers one of the most beautiful days of KMA that he has spent with Naveen. As soon as the tear leaves Rajveer's eyes, it falls on Naina's cheek.

This is when he realises that Naina is still in his arms, unconscious. Extending his right hand, he wipes that tear off from her cheek. As soon as his hand touches her soft skin, he feels some different kind of current running through his body.

His hand burns as he touches her soft and warm skin, but, this is a type of burn he would love to have all the time. He looks towards Naina's eyes and notices her eyes with tears.

Rajveer feels guilty for hurting his best friend's sister, his cadet, his... His what? Why is he feeling so hurt after seeing her in pain? Why does her tears affect him? What kind of attraction is it that attracts him towards her innocence? Why does he get jealous seeing her with Huda?

He notices a stand of her hair that is troubling her face and blocking Rajveer's view. He feels irritated and annoyed at that hair for troubling Naina's face. With his hand, he slowly moves the hair behind her ear. This causes Rajveer's fingers to brush through her cheeks.

An unconscious Naina shivers at this. She is not in her senses, but just his little touch sent currents through her entire body. A smile creeps on Rajveer's lips after seeing his effect on Naina.

Rajveer's gaze falls on Naina's wound. Looking back up at her face, he notices how exhausted she is looking. Putting his other arm underneath her legs, he picks her up carefully and starts walking towards the door to go to the Infirmary.

Somehow, with his leg, he manages to open the door. Thankfully, no one is around to see him and Naina like this, so, he takes a sigh of relief. Then, a thought crosses his mind. He was walking but stops abruptly.

"Dr. Shalini se kaise bachoonga? "

he questions himself

"Ab mein kya karoon? Dr. Shalini ke sawaloon ka samna karna BC ka samna karne se bhi khatarnaak hai!"

mumbles Rajveer.

A smile creeps on his lips. He knows Dr. Shalini won't leave a chance to tease him, but at least he can trust her with anything. He knows she won't utter a word about this to anyone.

Right now, Rajveer's main concern is Naina's health. He can bear anyone's questions for her wellbeing. He decides to take Naina towards the Infirmary.

Rajveer makes his way towards the Infirmary knowing what is coming in few minutes. He knows there is no escape for him this time. Dr. Shalini will get another topic to tease him.

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

Infirmary

Dr. Shalini is seen working on her laptop. She is working less and thinking more about Dr. Ritu's visit. She has a lot of questions in her mind. Why was Dr. Ritu asking about Rajveer? What is she upto? Dr. Shalini sensed something fishy in Dr. Ritu's behaviour.

Dr. Shalini has decided that she will talk to Rajveer about it right away. Deciding to go now, she gets up from her chair when she spots something in front of her that shocks her.

Pushing the door open with his right leg, Rajveer just barges into the Infirmary.

"Sab theek toh haina Cap..."

says Shalini, but stops.

Dr. Shalini's gaze falls on Rajveer's arms. She finds an unconscious Naina in his arms, while Rajveer is holding her tightly and protectively. A smile creeps on Dr. Shalini's lips, a wicked smile which tells Rajveer that his "band bajao" has started

"Kya hua Captain? Cadet Singh theek toh haina?"

asks Shalini, trying to hide her smile.

Dr. Shalini is concerned about Naina, but she knows if she was with Rajveer, nothing major would have happened. Dr. Shalini can see that Naina is exhausted, so, it's nothing too big that would have happened.

Rajveer gets surprised after hearing Dr. Shalini's question. She did not tease him or question him? Wow! This is something new. Little did he know what's coming next.

"Doc wo Cadet Singh..."

Rajveer starts to explain but gets interrupted by Shalini.

"Haan haan theek kaise nahi hoongi? Aapki BAHOON mein jo hai!"

teases Dr. Shalini, emphasizing on the word "Bahoon".

Rajveer lowers his eyes out of shyness and embarrassment. How can he think Dr. Shalini will let it go so easily? Nope, she won't! Rajveer turns his face the other way in irritation.

"Doc please!!"

says Rajveer, irritated.

Shalini looks at Rajveer and seeing him blushing and irritated, her smile gets wider. Great! This is going to be so much fun!

"Oho Captain aap toh bohut jaldi sharma jaate hain!"

teases Shalini

Rajveer looks towards Shalini and gives her an "aap nahi sudhrengi" look. Dr. Shalini is trying her best to control her laugh.

Dr. Shalini waits for Rajveer to put Naina down on the bed, but it seems like he has forgotten it or he likes keeping her in his arms. Another smile creeps on Shalini's lips.

"Captain aap yahan kyun aaye hain?"

asks Dr. Shalini, seriously.

Rajveer gives her a questioning look.

"Doc Cadet Singh behoosh hain toh obviously check karwane hi aaya hoon!"

replies Rajveer.

Dr. Shalini looks towards Naina then looks towards Rajveer. She crosses her arms over her chest while another big smile creeps on her lips. Here comes the second level of her teasing.

"Toh Captain agar aap Cadet Singh ko apni BAHOON se uttar kar bed pe leta de toh hi mein inh ko check kar sakti hoon na!"

says Dr. Shalini, smirking.

And before Rajveer can do anything, Dr. Shalini snaps in amusement as she takes a step towards Rajveer.

"Wait a minute!! Kahin aap sach mein toh nahi chahte ke mein Cadet Singh ko aapki baahon mein check karoon? I mean I don't mind but..."

utters Shalini.

Rajveer stares at Dr. Shalini with his mouth half open. He looks at her in disbelief. In irritation, he walks towards the bed and finally puts Naina down. Now walking back towards Dr. Shalini, he sees her laughing out loud.

With his right hand's index finger, Rajveer points it towards Dr. Shalini. Frustration and irritation is evident on Rajveer's face.

"Aapko toh mein baad mein dekh loonga doc!!"

says Rajveer.

Dr. Shalini stops laughing and tries to act scared which irritates Rajveer more. With her right hand's index finger, Shalini points it towards Rajveer as she takes a step towards him!

"Mujhe baad mein dekhiyega Captain! Agar Cadet Singh ko pata chal gayya toh mera kya hoga!"

says Dr. Shalini.

With this, she bursts into splits of laughter.

"Aap na...!!"

yells Rajveer

"Haan mein kya?"

Shalini yells back

"Aap ab mujhse bach ke rehna Shalini ji! Aapko toh mein dekh loonga!"

he warns her

With that, he stomps his right foot and makes his way towards the door to get out when Dr. Shalini calls him from the back.

"Per Captain, Cadet Singh ko unke room mein kon wapis leke jaiyega wo bhi apni BAHOON mein utha ke?"

asks Shalini, emphasizing on "bahoon" again.

Rajveer turns around. He puts both of his hands on either sides of his waist.

"I am sure wo aap manage kar leingi Shalini ji!"

says Rajveer

Dr. Shalini knows he is pretending to be angry because whenever he calls her "Shalini ji", he always fakes his anger. A smile is evident on Rajveer's face. Yes, he is faking to be angry. Of course, Shalini is his friend and if she can play along, then he can play along too!

After few seconds, both of them bursts out into splits of laughter. Giving Shalini a last smile, and a last look towards Naina, Rajveer makes his way towards the door while Dr. Shalini goes to check Naina.

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

He sits in a plane, enjoying the view of the ocean below him. Suddenly, he feels an unusual shake. He turns to the lady that is sleeping beside him. The juice on her fold-able table shook. The airplane broad-casted a flight-attendant speaking in an urgent voice.

"Everyone! Stay calm! We are experiencing some difficulties with the aircraft. Please make use of the oxygen masks we provide!"

says the flight attendant

Extending his hand towards the lady, he shakes her to wake her up.

"Naina uth! Naina!"

says the man.

Yes, the lady is none other than Naina. Due to the shaking, Naina wakes up right away. She starts to rub her eyes since everything is blurry in front of her. After a while, her vision gets clear and she looks towards the man with wide eyes.

"Kya hua Bhaiyya?"

asks Naina

Yes he is none other than Naveen. As soon as he is about to say something, just then, on cue, oxygen masks falls from the ceiling. It suddenly becomes chaotic in the plane. Women begins screaming in high-pitched voices. Children begins wailing and kicking. Fathers sweat anxiously, trying to calm everyone down.

Naveen gets worried as he looks towards Naina and finds her screaming. He tries to stay calm.

"It's okay gudiya, don't panic. Maybe it's just some technical difficulties! Sab theek ho jayega!"

says Naveen, trying to calm Naina down

But the plane continues rocking furiously, and all of a sudden, Naveen feels himself falling vertically. He tries putting his mask on, but it just does not seem to work. He is not able to plant his feet on the ground. It feels like a roller coaster. Only in a rollercoaster, people get off safely.

He cries a little as the plane draws closer. He hears a deafening crash, and then he hears no more.

"NAVEEN BHAIYYA!!!!!"

Yells Naina, as she sits up straight on the bed. Her head starts to hurt. She realises it was one of her nightmares. Suddenly, she feels her head spinning. To calm herself down, she puts both of her hands on her face. Her vision gets blurry. Naina starts rubbing her eyes. looking back, up she looks at her surroundings. Naina finds herself in infirmary.

she looks around and she does not find anyone there. She is sure Dr. Shalini was here, but where did she go suddenly? Naina tries to think and remember what happened exactly that made her to fall unconscious.

After some struggle, everything starts to play in her head, how she went to Rajveer's room and blurred out the whole truth.

"ye maine kya kar dia?"

she questions herself

"agar unhoon ne mera sach Brigadier Chandook ko bata dia toh wo mujhe is academy se nikal deinge. phir mein bhaiyya ki begunaahi sabit kaise karoongi?"

mumbles Naina, worriedly.

Naina regrets telling her truth to Rajveer. She thinks he might end up telling BC about her being Naveen's sister, a traitor's sister. Suddenly, anger starts building up inside her. Her right hand turns into a fist and frustration is evident on her face.

"Mein bhi dekhti hoon ke ab Captain Rajveer Singh Shekhawat kya karege"

she yells

"wo jo karna chahte hain karein per mein bai Naina Singh Aaluwalia hoon. Mein bhi apne sawaloon ke jawab dhoondh kar hi rahoongi!"

Naina's anger reaches to another level. She has decided that she will get her answers from Rajveer, by hook or by crook. She has decided that she will confront Rajveer. Why was he doubting on her to be the spy? She will make sure he listens to what she has to say. Now it is her turn, she will not leave him so easily.

Naina looks towards the clock and finds it to be 11pm. She tries to remember how she got here, but she fails on remembering that. Deciding to confront him tomorrow, she gets up from the bed and makes her way towards the girl's hostel, towards her room. She knows Pooja must be sleeping at this time, so, it won't be a problem for her to sneak in.

Next Morning

Today is the first day of their drill with Major Nair. All the cadets have been asked to assemble in the main grounds of kMA within ten minutes. All the cadets, including our favourite six, they all gather up in five minutes.

Naina is looking for an opportunity to talk to Rajveer, but he is nowhere to be around. She has decided that after Major Nair's drill, she will go to his room to confront him, herself. Naina was in deep thoughts when she heard a heavy voice which jerked her out of her thoughts.

"Attention cadets!"

yells Major Nair.

Along with all the cadets, Naina salutes Major Nair.

Major Nair, with his hands back, starts walking around the cadets to examine them. He looks at each cadet very carefully and gives them a dirty look.

"tum sab ko kya lagta hai ke ek sipahi banna itna asaan hai? Tum sab mein se koi bhi tik nahi paayega is academy mein"

Major Nair yells.

This sudden yelling from Major Nair jerks everyone. Nair smirks as he looks at everyone's faces. fear is evident on their face. Suddenly, Major Nair's gaze falls on Naina. She is the only one who does not look scared. With a smirk, Major Nair walks towards Naina and now stands in front of her.

"ladkiyaan kabhi sipahi nahi ban sakti!"

says Major Nair.

Naina does not utter a single word or show any frustration. This irritates Major Nair. Suddenly, Nair's gaze falls on Naina's right leg and he notices how she is having a hard time standing because of the wound. An idea strikes his mind.

"what is your name cadet?"

he asks Naina

"Cadet Naina Singh!"

she answers, looking straight in his eyes, confidently.

Nair smirks and he crosses his arms over his chest.

"Cadet Singh, toh kya aap ye prove karne ke liye tayyar hain ke ladkiyaan sipahi ban sakti hain?"

he asks, smirking

"Yes sir!"

answers Naina

Another big smile creeps on Major Nair's lips.

"toh kya aap 15 minutes mein is ground ke 3 lap complete kar payegi apni is zakhmi tang ke sath?"

he asks her.

Without even thinking anything, Naina decides to agree. She is here to be a best Cadet of this academy like her brother, and she will do anything for that.

"Yes sir!"

yells Naina

All the other cadets looks towards Naina in shock. It is near impossible to finish 3 laps of the grounds in fifteen minutes. But, no one says anything due to Major Nair's fear.

"your time starts NOW!"

yells Major Nair

As soon as Naina hears that, she starts running while Major Nair tells everyone to meet again after 30 minutes. Everyones leaves except for him and Naina. He stares at a running Naina with a smirk. Major Nair is sure she will not be able to finish it.

Naina is now running constantly for 13 minutes. She knows she has only two minutes left in order to finish the laps. Even though, her leg has been hurting like hell, but she is still running with full speed.

Major Nair's smile vanishes as he finds Naina has completed the challenge on time. In anger, stomping his foot, Major Nair leaves from there.

Someone else is also watching all this from a distance. He is none other than Rajveer. He looks at Naina and feels proud of his Cadet Naina ah Singh.

Due to her leg, Naina gets unbalanced and falls on the ground.

"Aahh!!"

yells Naina.

As soon as Rajveer hears and sees this, he immediately rushes towards Naina, in order to help her.

Naina's head is down as she is trying to get up. She looks towards her right and suddenly, her gaze falls on a hand. She looks up and finds Rajveer standing there, with his hand out, in order to help her.
