KMA exit poll mein vote keejye
Standing right in front of the board, with no emotions on his face, Rajveer is reading each and every word very carefully. He does not know how to even react to this. Firstly, he was sent to solitary confinement due to Major Bharghav's lies and fake trap, and now this. What is he suppose to do at this moment after realising his love for Naina?
Suddenly, he feels someone's strong presence. Without turning around, he understands who the person is, yes she is none other than his Cadet Naina ah Singh. He does not need to turn around in order confirm this, he can smell her scent and he can recognize her footsteps. This is the last thing Rajveer expected. After realising his feelings for Naina, he does not know how to face her.
She was going towards her class, but she noticed Rajveer standing right in front of the board, reading it. All the cadets are present in the hallway, watching her, yet she does not care. The only thing she wants to do is talk to her Rajveer sir and question him regarding all this misunderstanding. With her eyes cascaded downwards, nervously, Naina starts taking baby steps towards Rajveer.
Reaching there, she stands few steps away from Rajveer while Rajveer does not turn around. Naina shifts her vision from Rajveer towards the board and then back towards Rajveer, trying to find proper words in order to speak to him.
"Sir pata nahi kis ki badtameezi hai ye..kis ka idea tha ye"
says Naina, nervously, her eyes cascaded downwards .
And before she could speak any further, they both hear Dr. Ritu Mishra's voice from the back.
"Cadets! Aapki classes nahi hain? Move it"
Turning around, Naina looks towards Dr. Mishra and finds her talking to the group of cadets and ordering them to move towards their classes. Within few seconds, all the cadets leave from there, and now are left, Dr. Mishra, Naina and Rajveer.
Walking towards Naina and Rajveer, Dr. Ritu stands few steps away from Naina.
"Cadet Singh! tumhe toh ye bhi idea nahi hai ke tumhari wajah se tumhare sir ko itni sharmindagi or pareeshani hui hai"
scolds Dr. Ritu looking towards Naina.
Naina immediately looks towards Dr. Ritu with confused expressions.
"ma'am"
Now looking towards Rajveer, Naina speaks further.
"Sir...sir aap bhi toh jante hain...sir please kuch boliye..ye..ye sab log..sir please boliye kuch"
says Naina, pleading with her eyes for Rajveer to say something.
Naina is unable to understand why Dr. Ritu Mishra is blaming her for all this. What is exactly her fault? That she respects and trusts Rajveer the most in this academy?
"Cadet tum bolo..."
yells Dr. Mishra, confronting Naina
But before Dr. Mishra could say anything further, she gets interrupted by Rajveer. Without turning around, Rajveer speaks.
"Dr. Mishra mujhe Cadet Singh se kuch baat karni hai"
his voice is stern and cold with no emotions whatsoever.
His cold voice skips the heartbeat of both Naina and Dr. Mishra. Without uttering any other word, Dr. Mishra leaves from there, but not before giving a dirty look towards Naina which confuses Naina but she decides to ignore it for now.
And here they are now, alone, standing in front of the board. There is silence for couple of minutes as Rajveer does not move his gaze from the board even for a single minute, without blinking, while Naina shifts her vision from one thing to another.
This silence is killing Naina, she wants to say something, ask questions and what not. She cannot take this anymore. She needs to be the one who should break this silence. Unable to bear this anymore, Naina decides to speak, but not before closing her eyes tightly in order to get some courage. Opening her eyes, she looks towards Rajveer.
"Sir"
calls Naina softly
The way she calls him, it melts his heart. Right now, he wants to turn around and take her into his embrace, wipe all her worries away, but, he cannot. He cannot fall weak. Not just for himself, but for her, for his love. He needs to start keeping his distances from her, for her sake. He does not want anyone talking rubbish about her. Without looking towards her, he decides to speak in his cold and stern voice.
"Kya chahti ho tum cadet Singh?"
questions Rajveer
A cold shiver goes through her spine as for the very first time she hears him speaking in such a cold tone. Her heartbeat picks up pace and it feels as if someone has dragged the Earth from underneath her feet. For the very first time, she is scared today.
But she cannot just stay quiet, she needs to answer him.
"Mein..kya...chahti?"
stammers Naina
Immediately, Rajveer turns towards her. Naina gets stunned on finding his eyes blazing with anger. She immediately lowers her gaze . She is unable to face his anger. She waits for him to speak up, but he does not. Yes, he is waiting for her to look up in his eyes. Understanding his demand, she finally surrenders and looks up in his eyes immediately.
"Kyun tum yoon baar baar apni har choti si problem ka solution lene mere paas dhori chali aati ho?"
questions Rajveer, raising his voice
His sudden question stuns Naina. Why the sudden question? Wasn't he the one who told her that he is also one of her friends? Doesn't he know that he is the only one whom she trusts the most in the entire academy. And above all that, he is her mentor.
She wants to lower her eyes, but, Rajveer's intense, constant and demanding gaze forces her to keep the eye contact. Lots of emotions are evident in both of their eyes; hurt, guilt, helplessness, and what not.
"Kyunke aap mere mentor hain sir or mein aap par sab se zayada trust karti hoon"
utters Naina, looking intensely in his eyes
He knows whatever he is about to do or say, it is wrong, but he has to do this for Naina. Still keeping the eye contact, Rajveer takes a step towards Naina.
"Mentor hone ka mathlab ye nahi hai ke mein tumhari har choti choti problem ka solution doon or agar tumhare liye mentor hone ka yehi mathlab hai toh mein abhi or issi waqt tumhara mentor hone se inkaar karta hoon"
shouts Rajveer
Naina shivers at this sudden yelling from Rajveer. She feels as if someone has splashed cold water on her face. She has no idea what exactly she is feeling. Her eyes starts tearing up, but she manages to keep her tears inside. She wants to look away but his authoritative gaze does not give her the permission.
"Sir aapko pata hai ke mein aap pe trust karti hoon"
whispers Naina
Even though Naina is trying her best to hide her tears, but they are not hidden by Rajveer. And this is what breaks him the most, her tears. But today, he needs to keep himself strong. He needs to do something which he would never want to do, but to keep her away from himself, he needs to do this. Yes, she might hate him afterwards, but he has to do this. He cannot let anything happen to his Naina.
Taking two more steps towards her, Rajveer grips Naina's right elbow and start making his grip stronger by every passing second. He hates doing this, but he has to do this. On the other hand, Naina feels a sharp pain in her body, but she needs to be strong. Even though his grip is hurting her to the core, she does not show it and keeps staring in his eyes.
Now, he is about to tell her something which will change her life completely.
"Tum us insaan pe kaise bharoosa kar sakti ho jis ne tumhare bhai, Captain Naveen Singh Aaluwalia ko maara ho?"
shouts Rajver
