Part 4
Rajveer and Naina reached KMA. Many faculty members and cadets surrounded Rajveer. Rajveer had taught as a part time faculty and had become extremely popular. Everyone was super excited to have him back in a full time role.
Pooja: Sir, today our phones are vey happy that you have back in our network range.
Ali: Sir, we are so glad you are becoming full time faculty.
Alekh: Sir. Welcome back.
Huda: Sirji! Oye balle balle! Oye shava shava. How was your time away from us! Did you meet any hot girls?
Captain Shalini: Major looking even more sexy than last time. God knows how many women will fall in love...
Raj: Doc, please stop pulling my leg. Guys thank you for such a warm welcome. I am very happy to be back. I also want you to meet someone.
Naina had been standing back. She was amazed to see how popular Rajveer was with both faculty members and cadets alike.
Raj beckoned Naina to come forward.
Raj: Everyone, this is Naina. Naina Singh Ah... I mean Naina Singh Shekhawat.
Huda whispers to Yudi
Huda: Sir's sister is so good looking. I have to get my charms started on her.
Yudi: Bro how do you know it's his sister. It could also be...
Raj: She is my wife. We got married last week.
There was pin drop silence. People were shocked to say the least. Raj had always been extremely popular with the women at KMA. But he had always been a shy and reserved man himself. Faculty members like Shalini knew that he didn't have someone special in his life. It was shocking to discover that he had not only met someone in the last 3 months, but had also married her.
Shalini sensed that both Raj and Naina were feeling discomforted by the incredulous looks on their face
Shalini: That is amazing Raj. Congratulations to the two of you. Naina you look lovely and I am very excited to get to know you better. You guys have had a long journey. Why don't you go and rest? Plently of time to catch up.
Raj and Naina accepted everyone's congratulations and made their way to Brigadier Chandok's office. Raj was taken aback to see Major Nair sitting there along with the Brigadier.
Major Nair: Welcome. Major Shekhawat and Naina Singh Ahluwalia. Deshdrohi Naveen Ahluwalia's sister isn't?
Naina: Yes. And now Major Shekhawat's wife.
Major Nair: Sir, as I was saying I think it's best that Naina also undergo a psych evaluation to make sure she isn't a bad influence on the cadets.
Raj: How dare you Major Nair? She is my wife. And has already been cleared by various military boards.
Majore Nair: But she hasn't by cleared by KMA
There was a knock on the door and Dr. Ritu entered. She ignored Raj and Naina and spoke directly to the Brigadier
Ritu: I agree Brigadier Chandok. Given the information at hand, I believe that we should do a psych eval of Naina... (bitterly) Mrs Shekhawat I am sorry.
Raj: This is ridiculous.
Naina: Fine. When do you want it scheduled?
Ritu: This evening.
Naina agreed and walked out.
RAJ'S ROOM
Raj: Naina why did you? I could have handled the situation.
Naina: Major you know we we didn't have any other option. Plus I am used to this. I have been in front of many boards. I doubt Dr. Ritu can't do much harm.
Raj had his doubts. He had only known Ritu a few months and thought of her as one of the most shrewd women ever. He knew he had to help Naina in some way.
Dr. RITU'S CLINIC
Ritu; Major what are you doing here? This is your wife's evaluation. not yours!
Raj: Permission to observe from Brigadier Chandok.
Ritu (Annoyed): Fine you can observe. But no interference please!
Ritu: Naina you have been connected to a lie detector that monitors your heart rate. I'd recommend that you tell the complete truth.
Ritu: Name
Naina: Naina Singh Shekhawat
Ritu: Brother's name
Naina: Naveen Singh Ahluwalia
Ritu: Was he a traitor?
Raj held his breath. He noticed the pain in Naina's eyes for a fleeting second. Then she was stoic once again.
Ritu: Was he a traitor?
Naina: Yes.
Ritu: Yes, what?
Naina: Yes he was a traitor.
Ritu: Why do you want to join the army?
Naina: To serve my country.
Ritu: To avenge your brother?
Naina: No.
Ritu was getting irritated. Naina was extremely well trained and was able to cover her emotions well. She knew she needed to change tactics.
Ritu: Who is Major Randhawa?
Naina: He was on a military board reviewing my petition to serve in the army.
Ritu: Why was he removed from the Board?
Naina: He made inappropriate advances towards me.
Ritu: Did he try and rape you?
Naina: Yes. He did.
Ritu: Did he succeed?
Naina: No.
Ritu: How did you save yourself? Details please. Major Shekhawat spare your energy. You don't have a right to object.
Raj had to witness the painful scene of Naina recounting the horrors she faced with rogue and how she barely managed to save herself. He was worried to see how calm Naina looked.
Ritu was agitated further. She decided to bring out her trump card.
Ritu: What's your relation with Captain Abhimanyu Chauhan
Raj was surprised to hear the question. He was also worried to see Naina's heart rate shoot up.
Ritu: Calm down Naina. What's your relation with Captain Abhimanyu Chauhan?
Naina: He was Naveen bhaiya's friend. And my friend.
Ritu: Just friend? Did you ever date him?
Naina: Yes.
Ritu: So what happened? How did you end up with Major Shekhawat? What happened to your relation with Abhimanyu Chauhan?
Naina: He left me. After bhaiya's death.
Raj was very surprised to hear about Naina and Abhimnayu. But he was more disturbed to see Naina. While her face was emotionless, he could notice how her body had become stiff and rigid.
Ritu: So when you have accepted that Naveen is a traitor, why didn't you go back to Abhimnanyu?
Naina: Would you go back to a man who leaves you in your darkest hour? I married Raj because he was there for me, when no one else was.
Ritu: So it was just a casual fling with Abhimanyu?
Naina: No. I loved him.
Ritu: So you were close. How close?
Naina remained silent. Raj could notice that she was shaking.
Ritu: I realize this was an awkward question in front of your current husband. But let me be more specific. Were you physically intimate?
Naina (barely a squeak): Yes.
Raj: ENOUGH DR. RITU. THE TIME YOU ASKED FOR IS OVER.
Ritu dare not argue with Raj in his current mood. Raj went to Naina and gently asked her to get up.
Raj: Naina, go to our room. I'll just be there.
After Naina walked out, Raj turned to Ritu.
Raj: Was that purely professional Dr. Ritu?
Ritu; Of course major, why wouldn't it be? After all we don't have any personal relation do we? You didn't bother to tell me about naina did you?
Raj: Dr. Ritu.
Suddenly there was a loud scream.
MAJOR SHEKHAWAT!!!!
Rajveer ran out and found Naina collapsed on the ground.
