Rajveer-Naina - Unkahi Baatein - SS

Sitting in front of the fire, Rajveer has been thinking about Dr. Ritu Mishra's words constantly. Why is he feeling so restless? Dr. Mishra thinks that he has fallen in love with someone, but who is she? Even he does not have the answer to this question. Or does he?

He remembers how he found Naina there. His heart skips a beat as he thinks about something. Has she heard their conversation? If so, what might she be thinking? Does she think he has fallen in love with Dr. Ritu? No! He cannot let this happen. He needs to clear this doubt. But why? Why does he need to prove Naina anything? Why would she care?

Just when he is lost in his thoughts, he finds Naina coming towards him. This leads him to halt so, he pretends to look down and he tries to have some control over his thoughts. By now, Naina has sat in front of the fire, right across from him.

"Sir..aap yahan?"

questions Naina with a smile

This causes Rajveer to look towards her. He pretends to be unknown that he saw her coming towards him. He smiles at her.

"Naina, tum soyi nahi?"

he questions her instead

She gives him a disappointed look which he fails to understand.

"Bus sir aankh khul gayi or..."

replies Naina but stops abruptly as she gets lost in some thoughts.

What a liar she is. She hasn't slept since the moment she came back into the tent after witnessing Rajveer and Ritu together. She was awake when Rajveer gave the blanket over her but she was pretending to sleep. Yes, she didn't hear a single word of Rajveer's and Ritu's conversation, but why were they together at this time? this late? Is there something going on between them? This thought gives her shivers in her entire body. But why does she care so much?

"Kahan kho gayi Naina?"

asks Rajveer as he sees her lost somewhere

This brings her back to reality. Wanting to hide her thoughts from him, Naina gives Rajveer a smile.

"sir wo kambal toh maine aapke liye dia tha phir aapne mujh par?"

questions Naina in order to run away from her ongoing thoughts.

Rajveer feels something fishy in the way she is behaving. Smiling at her question, he makes himself more comfortable on the ground as he stares at her.

"Cadet Singh mein ek certified fauji hoon or tum abhi fauji bani nahi ho"

he laughs a little as he completes his sentence.

This makes her to share a bit of laughter with him. Soon, they stop laughing and Naina goes back into her chain of thoughts. She wants to know about Rajveer, especially his love life. She doesn't know why, but she does. She knows it is extremely hard for her to question him directly, but she has also learned few strategies from him, so, why not use them now?

"Umm..sir ek personal sawal kar sakti hoon aapse?"

questions Naina hesitantly

Of course she can question him at anytime, about anything, she does not need his permission to do that.

"Haan poocho na!"

says Rajveer immediately.

Getting nervous by every passing second, Naina shifts her vision from one thing to another. Rajveer notices her each movement very carefully. By now, he is sure that she is trying to hide something from him.

"Sir wo..uhm..aap or Naveen bhaiyya hamesha se kafi close friends thay toh bhaiyya ne aapko kabhi unki girlfriend ke baare mein kuch nahi bataya?"

she finally asks

This succeeds in skipping Rajveer's heartbeat. To catch his reaction, Naina looks towards him and finds him staring at her, as if trying to read her mind. Scared of what her eyes might reveal, she quickly lowers her gaze.

"Naina mein or Naveen kabhi bhi bestfriends nahi thay. Hum dono colleagues thay, competitors thay, rivals bhi thay. Har competition mein, har exercise mein, har drill mein! Issi liye hum ek doosre ko admire bhi karte thay or respect bhi. Lekin Naveen hamesha mujhse aage raha hai, or shayad pyaar ke mamle mein bhi. Issi liye jab Naveen ki life mein girlfriend aayi toh usne mujhe batana munasib nahi samjha!"

comes Rajveer's reply

This sentence of Rajveer sends shivers inside Naina and her heartbeat picks up pace.

"Iska mathlab ke aapko girlfriend baad mein mili sir?"

questions Naina immediately

Her voice implies how eager she is to find out about his love life. Was this all her strategy? Thinks Rajveer. But why does she want to know? Why does she care?

If she is Naina then he is also Captain Shekhawat. He'll find out why she wants to know, by hook or by crook. After all he is the master of strategy and communication.

"Haan mili na jaise tumhe boyfriend mila"

replies Rajveer in a stern tone

His first three words drains the blood out of Naina's face and her heartbeat picks up pace. Ignoring his last few words, Naina decides to question him further.

"Iska mathlab aapki koi girlfriend hai?"

questions Naina as anger urges inside her

Although it was Rajveer's strategy to tell her that he has a girlfriend to see her reaction, but he is serious regarding knowing about Naina's boyfriend. In the past few days, he has seen Huda's and Naina's closeness. Before, it never bothered him, but now, he gets restless when he sees them together, even though he does not show it. And instead of answering him, she decides to ignore his question and rather asks him another question.

"Tumhe usse kya farak parhta hai?"

he questions her sternly

At this sentence, Naina realises that she is losing control over her emotions. Just then, Rajveer's words rings in her ears "jaise tumhe boyfriend mila". This gives her a shock and her heart skips a beat. Why in the world would he think that she has a boyfriend? And why does she feel the sudden urge to clear this misunderstanding? She opens her mouth to clear this, but, stops abruptly. If he does not want to answer her question, then, she won't explain either.

"Bohut raat ho chuki hai sir..goodnight"

says Naina coldly.

Saying this, she abruptly gets up from her spot. Turning her back towards him, she takes a step to leave when she feels a sudden pull and some force on her wrist. Shifting her vision towards her wrist, she finds it gripped in Rajveer's hand.

"Don't you think tumhe mujhe kuch jawab dena hai Naina?"

questions Rajveer sternly

Without turning towards him, she struggles to get out of his hold, but fails miserably.

"Sawal maine bhi aapse poocha tha sir"

replies Naina without turning.

This skips Rajveer's heartbeat. He turns her towards him with a jerk and looks intensely in her eyes.

"Toh is ka mathlab mein ye maan loon ke tum or Huda ek doosre se.."

questions Rajveer

Naina doesn't let him finish his sentence. She does not know why but she feels like telling him the truth.

"I don't have a boyfriend"

confesses Naina immediately

This confession of Naina brings a huge smile on Rajveer's face as he takes a sigh of relief. Realising what she has done, Naina lowers her gaze. With her wrist in his hand, he leads her towards the fire again. Making her to sit back down, he goes and sits across from her.

"Meri zindagi mein toh abhi tak koi girlfriend nahi aayi hai"

explains Rajveer

Sudden explanation from Rajveer leads Naina to look towards him and it brings a smile on her face. Yay, he does not have a girlfriend, she thinks.

"Lekin..."

Says Rajveer but stops to see Naina's reaction

This causes Naina's smile to vanish and her facial expressions turns serious.

"Lekin kya sir?"

questions Naina possessively

Seeing this possessiveness of Naina brings a smile on Rajveer's face. So, this jealousy is not just one sided!

"Lekin wo Dr. Mishra ko aisa lagta hai ke mujhe pyaar hogaya hai or kamal ki baat yeh hai ke mujhe khudko bhi nahi maulum ke mujhe pyaar hogaya hai or kis se"

replies Rajveer smiling and blushing

This brings an instant smile on Naina's face as she takes a sigh of relief. So, this is what Dr. Ritu and Rajveer were talking about and they are not in a relationship. But why does she feel so happy knowing this? She is unable to understand her real feelings.

"Lekin bara ajeeb lagta hai jab mein yeh sochta hoon ke wo kitni bewakoof ladki hogi jisse mujh jaise complicated insaan ke sath pyaar ho jayega"

continues Rajveer

This succeeds in making Naina's cheeks to go red out of blush and she gets goosebumps in her entire body. Hell no, not crazy, but that girl would be a lucky one!

"Kyun sir aap aise kyun bol rahe hain? Ye toh aap bhi jante hain or mein bhi janti hoon ke wo ladki toh bohut lucky hogi!"

replies Naina immediately, smiling

Hearing this from Naina makes Rajveer to blush. He lowers his eyes out of shyness as he thinks of something. He does not know why but he feels as if he should ask her something. He feels as if this is the right time. At this exact moment, he is sure about his feelings towards Naina. Dr. Ritu Mishra is right, he is in love, WITH NAINA!

He looks back up in her eyes. He stands up and slowly walks towards her without breaking the eye-contact. With every step he takes, Naina's heartbeat picks up pace. Reaching her, he takes a seat in front of her, on his knees. Smiling, he starts to move his lips towards her right ear. Not knowing what exactly he is about to do, Naina lowers her eyes out of shyness.

"Mere hisab se bewakoof or tumhare hisab se lucky, Kya tum wo ladki banna pasand karogi Naina?"

questions Rajveer, whispering, huskily

This makes Naina to look towards Rajveer in shock as her eyes go wide. She is unable to believe her ears. Did he really just ask her that? Suddenly, her heart starts dancing with joy, yet she refrains herself from smiling.

She immediately lowers her eyes again out of blush. Why is she not able to say "no" to him? Does that mean she loves him? Looking at a blushing Naina makes Rajveer to smile. Maybe she didn't say yes, but she didn't say no either.

Smiling, Rajveer moves back and stands back up. Wanting to leave her alone so she can think about her decision, he takes few steps towards the tent. Just then, he stops in his tracks.

"Jawab zaroor dena Naina!"

he says loud enough for Naina to hear

With that, he leaves from there, leaving a blushing Naina behind. Oh Cadet Singh, how will you spend the rest of the mentorship program with him now? That too in the same tent, that too ALONE!

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

Part 2

Naina freezes in her spot as she watches Rajveer leaving towards their tent. She is still not able to digest what exactly just happened. Her eyes are still open wide with shock. What a master of communication he is, he confessed his love without saying those three magic words.

The only thing making Naina anxious is that, how will she face him now? The thought of just going in front of him makes her heart to pick up pace as her cheeks turn bright red out of shyness.

But she has to do this, she has to face him and also give him an answer. What should she say? She doesn't know but just the thought of being his girlfriend is giving her butterflies in her stomach, with happiness. This new, yet a pleasurable feeling is completely unknown to her. She does not know what she will say, but, she is not ready to face him tonight. She needs this whole night to think about her decision.

Naina decides to stay near the fire for couple of more minutes, hoping that by the time she enters inside the tent, Rajveer is sleeping, so, she won't have to face him at least tonight. Not that she would mind, but she'll die out of shyness after what just happened few moments ago.

30 minutes later...

Taking a deep breath, Naina gets up from her spot. She decides to go inside the tent. She doesn't know if she'll be able to sleep tonight or not, but her back is killing her since she didn't take any rest the whole day.

As she makes her way towards the tent, her heart skips a beat. With every step she takes, her heartbeat picks up pace. Finally reaching the tent, Naina stops for a while outside. Shutting her eyes, she brings up her hands together, as a posture of praying.

"Please Rajveer sir soye hoon"

mumbles Naina getting anxious

In order to control her increasing heartbeat, Naina takes a deep breath. Wanting to check before entering inside, she peeps inside the tent to see what are her surroundings like. Fortunately or Unfortunately, Naina finds Rajveer's back turned towards her and the way he is laying implies that he is in deep sleep.

A little disappointment urges inside her, god knows why. She gets shocked on her own thoughts. Why is she sad? Isn't she the one who didn't want Rajveer to be awake?

Clearing her thoughts, Naina steps inside very carefully and quietly, hoping she won't wake him up. Reaching an empty corner inside the tent, she notices the same blanket there which is cut off in half. She looks towards Rajveer and finds him covered with the other half of the blanket.

What a true gentleman he is. He knew that if she came and saw him without the blanket, she would cover him up, instead of covering herself. So, to deal with this issue, he has done his work quite nicely.

Smiling like a fool, she lays down as she covers herself with the blanket. She shuts her eyes, blushing, but not before giving a last look to Rajveer.

Even after few minutes, there is no sign of sleep in her eyes. The only face she sees in front of her closed eyes is Rajveer's and she cannot help but think about him.

"Mere baare mein soch rahi ho Cadet Naina Ah Singh?"

Rajveer's husky voice causes her eyes to open up wide. Her heart skips a beat as she finds a smiling Rajveer in front of her, leaning in extremely close to her.

Am I dreaming again? thinks Naina. Thinking that she is dreaming about Rajveer with open eyes, Naina rolls her eyes in a bit of frustration.

"nahi, Major Bharghav ke baare mein soch rahi hoon"

replies Naina sarcastically

Rajveer raises an eyebrow at this as his mouth opens wide with confusion. What just happened? He stares at Naina as if trying to understand the situation.

"Excuse me?"

blurts out Rajveer getting confused

Naina has had enough. She is having such a hard time sleeping because of his words that he said earlier and now, to tease her even more, he has started to come in her dreams as well.

"Or nahi toh kya. Zahir si baat hai aap hi ke baare mein sochongi na. Ek toh pehle hi aapke proposal ne mujhe sone nahi dia or ab toh aap mere khayaloon mein bhi aa rahe ho"

says a frustrated Naina

This changes Rajveer's expressions completely. A smile starts to creep on his lips. So, his words affected her so much that she is having such a hard time sleeping, and on top of that, she thinks this is her dream and that she is imagining him in front of her.

Staring her throughout with a smirk, Rajveer extends his right hand near her arm. Without breaking the eye-contact, he pinches her slightly on her arm, to wake her up and to tell her that she is reality.

"Ouchh!!"

exclaims Naina out of pain

Her breath hitches in her throat when she finds a smirking Rajveer in front of her, staring at her. So, she was not dreaming. Thinking it was her dream, she blurt out the truth that she thinks about him and how she couldn't sleep due to his words.

Not knowing what to do, she stands up straight and stares at him with wide eyes. Rajveer laughs secretly at her condition. He smiles at her vulnerability and the affect that he has on her.

Staring her, he moves towards her slowly. Naina's heart skips a beat as she finds him coming close to her. Reaching extremely close to her, he goes near her right ear.

"Breath Naina breath!"

he whispers huskily

At this moment, Naina realises that she has been holding her breath since such a long time. She finally releases her breath as she lowers her gaze with shyness. With every passing second, her heartbeat picks up pace.

Naina realises that she needs to have a bit of control over her emotions. She cannot show him that how much he affects her. Wanting to come back to her old self, she takes a deep breath. With a lot of courage and confidence, she finally looks up and they lock eyes immediately.

In order to change the topic, she decides to question him instead.

" aap itni raat ko ky..."

she tries to speak but stops abruptly

As she tries to speak further, she finds him coming even more close to her. A shiver goes down her spine and she is not able to say another word. She shuts her eyes in nervousness, not knowing what exactly he is about to do.

Smiling at her, Rajveer moves closer to her. When he reaches really close to her, he extends his hand to get his watch that is near where Naina was sleeping.

After grabbing it, he moves back. When Naina feels that he is no more near her, she opens up her eyes and finds him staring at her, smiling, from a distance.

Her gaze falls on the watch that he is holding.

"Apni ghadi lene aaya tha"

says Rajveer

Now moving close to her, he hovers her in a corner. Naina's heartbeat picks up pace with their closeness. She lowers her gaze.

"Acha hua meri ghadi tumhare pass rakhi thi, warna mujhe pata kaise chalta ke tum hamesha mere baare mein hi sochti ho"

whispers Rajveer.

At his words, Naina looks towards him immediately as her cheeks starts turning hot red due to shyness.

"Nahi...wo..."

she tries to lie when he immediately puts a finger over her lips to shut her up and to stop her from lying. His touch does amazing things inside her and her heart skips a beat.

"Ssshhh!! Goodnight Cadet Naina AH Singh! Kal milte hain!"

whispers Rajveer

For few seconds, he keeps staring at her, smirking and he makes no effort to move his finger away from her lips. On purpose, he does these small things to see her reaction and to see what things his simple touch does to her.

Naina lowers her gaze as she cannot tell him to move. In fact, she does not dare to. If she wanted, she could jerk his hand away, but instead, she stands there still, not daring to do anything. For some reason, she does not mind Rajveer doing all this.

At this moment, Rajveer can hear the rhythm of her increasing heartbeat. Wanting to tease her later, he decides to spare her for tonight, he finally removes his finger. Staring her throughout, he takes his steps back, smirking.

With that, he turns away from her and goes near the other side of the tent, to sleep, smiling!

Naina takes a long breath as soon as he leaves from there. Not knowing what fate will have for her tomorrow, she lays down as she covers herself with the blanket.

Cadet Naina AH Singh, get ready for Rajveer's new strategies tomorrow. He will do anything to get your answer. And now, he is 100% sure what you feel about him, so, now, he won't let you leave, never, ever!

-_-_-_-_-_-

END OF PART

Next Morning

The sun gleamed through the tent, splashing a line of gold across Naina's beautiful face. The warmth of the sun burned her skin pleasantly through the blanket and she blinked the sleep from her eyes. She could hear the distant sound of loud voices. Wanting to check what exactly is going on, she gets up slowly.

She looks around her surroundings hoping to find Rajveer, but he seems no where to be around, which brings a little disappointment on her face. Her thoughts gets disturbed again by the loud noises which she hears coming from outside. Rolling her eyes in frustration, she slowly walks out of the tent and makes her way towards the noises.

As she reaches the voices, she halts in her tracks as the blood drains out of her face seeing the sight in front of her. There he is, her Rajveer sir with Dr. Ritu Mishra, his right arm around her waist, laughing while talking to each other, just like the perfect love birds.

She curls her upper lip to keep herself from speaking. Her mind whirling with thoughts that only makes her assume the worst. The feeling of jealousy slowly grows into her skin, filling her blood. Making her eyes go dark, and her mouth becomes a straight line. How can he do this to me?Thinks Naina. Her mind goes blank at this sight. Just yesterday, he has proposed her, and today, he is with that Dr. Mishra. Just the thought of Rajveer being with someone else succeeds in making Naina's heart to skip a beat.

No, I cannot let this happen, thinks Naina. With her hands turned into fists, she walks towards them as her eyes burns with rage. Reaching them, she stands right at the back, hoping they would notice her. Few minutes pass by, none of them notice Naina which brings her anger up.

Wanting to disturb their not-so-sweet talk, she takes a deep breath before playing her cards.

"Ahammm"

Naina clears her throat loudly.

This succeeds as the clearing of her throat grabs both Rajveer's and Dr. Ritu's attention. They both turn around and finds Naina standing there. Finding an angry and a frustrated Naina skips the heartbeat of Rajveer's and Ritu's. Whereas Ritu fails to understand the reason behind Naina's behaviour, on the other hand, Rajveer understands it perfectly.

My strategy has started to work, thinks Rajveer as a smirk plays on his lips.

"Oh, good morning Cadet Singh! Aapko kuch kaam tha?"

questions Rajveer as if trying to be innocent.

This behaviour of Rajveer frustrates Naina all the more. How can he act as if nothing happened last night. Looking towards Dr. Ritu, Naina gives her a death glare before locking her eyes with Rajveer.

"Nahi, mujhe kuch kaam nahi tha"

replies Naina sarcastically

With that, she turns her back towards Rajveer and Dr. Ritu as she takes a step away from them to go from there. At this moment, her whole body is burning with anger.

"Naina ruko"

Rajveer's voice causes Naina to halt in her tracks. A smile creeps on Naina's lips thinking that now, at least he will talk to her and behave normally. Smiling, she turns towards them.

"Yes sir?"

questions Naina getting relaxed.

Rajveer stares at her for couple of minutes, smiling! Leaving Dr. Ritu Mishra's waist, he takes a step towards Naina, without breaking the eye-contact.

"Naina kya tum Ritu ki help karogi ek achi si dress select karne mein when we reach KMA? Actually hum dono ek dinner pe jana chahte hain!"

says Rajveer

His words causes Naina's smile to vanish as the only word "Ritu" rings in her ears. From Dr. Mishra, he came straight to Ritu? And on top of that, he wants to go on a dinner date with her? And for that, he is asking for her help in order to decide a dress for this chudail?

The look on Naina's face makes Captain Rajveer want to laugh out loud, yet he tries his best to not laugh by pushing his lips together. The very next moment, Naina glares at Ritu. This death glare causes Ritu's heart to skip a beat and her face shows colours of fear, yet she fails to understand the reason behind Naina's behaviour.

"Cadet Singh tum.."

Ritu tries to speak

Not wanting her to say another word, Naina shuts her up by putting her right hand up, in front of her. Totally ignoring Ritu, Naina shifts her vision back to Rajveer. She takes a step towards him with an angry look on her face. This succeeds in making Rajveer's heart to skip a beat and unknowingly, he takes a step back.

With her right hand's index finger, Naina points it towards Rajveer.

"Aapki Ritu ji gayyi bhad mein"

yells Naina

(A/N : Did that remind you of something guys?)

And with in no time, she walks away from there towards her tent, angrily, stomping her feet. As soon as Naina leaves, Rajveer bursts out into fits of laughter. He really enjoys this jealous Naina and now he knows that this is the perfect way to get Naina's answer.

On the other side, Dr. Mishra gets confused as she sees Rajveer laughing. Dr. Ritu decides to question him but before she could, Rajveer just flies away from there leaving a helpless Ritu behind. Firstly, he told Naina that they are going to a dinner, which Ritu doesn't even know about. And secondly, when she wanted to question him, he walked away. What the hell? An irritated Ritu also leaves towards her tent.

-_-_-_-_-

Two Hours Later - Inside Captain Rajveer and Naina's tent

Pacing up and down, Naina keeps thinking about Rajveer's words. She fails to understand his strategy. She is extremely pissed off at the way Rajveer is behaving with her. How dare he ask her to help Ritu?

Just then, Rajveer enters the tent which grabs Naina's attention. She sees him entering inside with few papers in his hands. Hoping he will speak to her now, Naina takes a deep breath of relief. But instead, totally ignoring her, Rajveer goes and sits in a corner. He begins reading the papers.

This pisses off Naina all the more. A thought crosses her mind which succeeds in picking up her heartbeat and her hands turns into fists, thinking that the papers that are in Rajveer's hands, they are love letters from Dr. Ritu Mishra.

A frustrated Naina walks towards Rajveer. He doesn't care to take a glance at her. Without thinking about the circumstances, she snatches the papers away from his hands, leading Rajveer to turn around and look towards her in a shock.

"Naina ye tum kya kar rahi ho? Ye papers mujhe do"

orders Rajveer

His voice reflects his frustration. He doesn't understand why Naina did this. He looks towards her and finds her staring at him angrily. He takes a step towards her in order to grab the papers, but before he could snatch it away, Naina moves her hands back as she takes a step backwards.

"Kyun aisa kya hai inh papers mein jo aap itne bechain ho rahe hain inhe wapis lene ke liye?"

questions Naina possessively

At this moment, Rajveer becomes seriously irritated. He again tries to get the papers, but fails.

"Naina ye important documents hain. Lao isse mujhe do"

he demands

This makes Naina angrier. So these letters from Dr. Ritu Mishra are so important that he is getting so restless.

"Jhoot bol rahe hain aap"

yells Naina out of anger

This sudden yelling from Naina skips Rajveer's heartbeat. He rolls his eyes. He takes another step towards her while she takes a step back.

"Tumhe nahi yakeen aata toh khud hi dekh lo"

says Rajveer in a strict tone

This causes Naina to halt. She stares at him.

"Haan mein exactly wohi karne wali thi"

says Naina, rather taunts.

Staring her throughout, Rajveer crosses his arms over his chest and waits for her to look at the papers. Naina brings the papers in front of her face. Shifting her vision from Rajveer, she looks towards the papers and realises that these are actually some important documents. Naina feels embarrassed and she feels as if she cannot look at Rajveer in the eye as she has doubted on him.

"Dekh lia? Ab do ye papers mujhe"

says Rajveer

Not waiting for her to respond, Rajveer finally snatches the papers from her hand. Naina still stands in her place, with her eyes being lowered. Turning his back towards Naina, Rajveer takes a step to go but halts in his tracks. Suddenly, a smile creeps on his lips as he think what Naina might have thought. For the first time, he sees this possessive side of Naina and he really enjoys it.

Turning towards Naina, he takes a step towards her. Naina immediately looks up and finds him coming towards her. Her heart skips a beat and automatically, Naina starts moving her steps back. Her cheeks starts turning red under his intense gaze. Not knowing what to do, Naina again lowers her eyes.

With every step he takes, Naina's heartbeat picks up pace. Eventually, he succeeds in cornering her. He puts his hands on either sides of her, so she doesn't dare to escape.

And he begins his sweet torture in form of questions!

"Waise tumhe kya laga k unh papers mein kya tha?"

questions Rajveer

-_-_-_-

END OF PART

His question takes Naina by surprise and a shiver goes down her spine. Not being able to look in Rajveer's eyes, Naina keeps looking downwards. She knows she has to answer his question since he won't let her go so easily. With a lot of courage, Naina looks in Rajveer's eyes confidently.

"Aapse mathlab?"

says Naina sternly

With that, she tries to leave but he refrains her from going by stopping her with his hand.

"Mera mathlab tumse nahi toh or kisse hoga Naina?"

teases Rajveer smirking

This takes Naina by surprise. What is he trying to do? On one hand, he is flirting with Ritu and now, he is flirting with her. Today's morning scene starts to play in her head all over again which succeeds in bringing her anger back. She looks towards him sharply.

"Yahan kyun aaye hain aap? "

yells Naina out of frustration

This brings a huge smirks on Rajveer's face. He leans in a little closer to her. She is forgetting something which he will remind her.

"Ye mera bhi tent hai Naina! Remember?"

questions Rajveer with a huge smirk

This skips Naina's heartbeat. With their closeness, it gets extremely hard for her to utter another word, yet she tries to hide her feelings. What a blunder she made. Knowing that it's both of their tent, she is questioning him. She lowers her eyes out of embarrassment. Her cheeks starts getting red under his constant and intense gaze. She tries to escape from this situation by changing the topic.

"Aap jaiye na apni Ritu ji ke pass"

mumbles Naina under her breath

This doesn't go unheard by Rajveer. How cute she looks when she is possessive about him. This jealous Naina is a treat to watch which Rajveer surely enjoys. With a smile playing on his lips, he takes few steps back.

Staring her throughout, he crosses his arms over his chest.

"I smell jealousy"

teases Rajveer

This picks up Naina's heartbeat and she looks towards a smirking Rajveer immediately. The smile on his lips tells her that she is caught. Obviously she is jealous but is it that easy to guess?

"Jealous and me? Oh please. Why would I be jealous?"

she taunts him rolling her eyes as she tries to cover up.

He stares her intensely. He thought his protge is so smart, but she definitely isn't, at least not when it comes to hiding her feelings. She got trapped in his strategy so easily.

He takes a step towards her as he stares her throughout. Naina lowers her gaze

"Maine aisa kab kaha ke you are jealous?"

questions Rajveer smirking

After a few seconds of pause, he decides to play the next round of his game.

"Or you are jealous!"

States Rajveer

This succeeds in skipping Naina's heartbeat. Out of surprise, Naina looks towards him and they lock eyes immediately. On one hand, Naina's facial expressions turns serious due to the intense environment and on the other hand, Rajveer's smirk also vanishes. Yes, he was teasing her up till now but his own statement succeeded in vanishing his smile. His gaze turns dark by every passing second.

His intensions are clearly visible in his eyes which makes Naina's cheeks to turn hot red out of blush. Not being able to look him in the eye, Naina lowers her gaze. What a master he is of communication. Doesn't matter in which type of situation he is in, he surely knows how to play with words.

Not wanting to continue this conversation further, Naina leaves from this corner of the tent and walks towards her bag. Rajveer stares her throughout as he notices her each reaction. He, himself is in no mood to argue with her at this moment. Her reactions clearly says that him being with someone else affects Naina, yet she is not willing to admit. This thought succeeds in turning Rajveer a bit angry.

Out of anger, he also walks towards the other side of the tent. In irritation, he sits down and suddenly, his gaze falls on Naina and he finds her shrugging to open the zip of her bag. He watches her for few minutes, but when she fails to open the zip of her bag, which is stuck, he decides to go and help her.

Getting up, he starts walking towards her. Naina doesn't notice him coming as she is too busy with her bag. Suddenly, she stops what she is doing when she feels his touch on her hand. Her heart skips a beat and she finds him on her right side. His hand on her bag and slightly touching her hand as she finds him staring at her with serious expressions.

"Lao mein khol doon"

suggests Rajveer

Naina's face colours changes just with his simple touch. She immediately moves her hand back along with the bag. At this moment, her heart is racing like a marathon.

"Mein khud kar loongi"

speaks Naina immediately.

Rajveer gets surprised on the way she is behaving. Why is she getting so scared? He fails to understand. He has touched her before too many times but she never reacted in such a way. Then, why today? In fact the touch was really slight and was not on purpose. Is she hiding something from him in this bag?

"Tum mujhse itna darr kyun rahi ho Naina?"

He questions her

As he questions her, he takes the bag from her hand in order to help her. But before he could start opening the zip, blood drains out of Naina's face and she snatches the bag from him.

"Maine kaha na mein khud kar loongi"

says Naina sternly

Without waiting for Rajveer's reply, Naina gets up from her spot. And before she could takes a step forward to leave, she feels a pull on her wrist. Turning her head back, she finds her wrist being gripped in Rajveer's hand. Staring her throughout, from his other hand, he snatches the bag away from Naina.

"Tum har kaam khud nahi kar sakti"

taunts Rajveer angrily

And before Naina could snatch her bag back, Rajveer opens up the zip. Without looking whats inside, he hands her the bag back. Even-though he has a doubt that there is something in the bag which Naina is hiding from him, yet he doesn't dare to look. He knows his manners. He knows he shouldn't check someone's bag without their permission, doesn't matter if it's Naina's bag or not.

But he is also Captain Rajveer Singh Shekhawat, he has other ways to find out what Naina is hiding. No, he will not check her bag, but Naina, herself will come and tell him the truth.

Naina takes a sigh of relief when he hands her the bag back without checking. She immediately turns her back towards him to leave.

As soon as she takes a step forward, Rajveer's words catches her attention.

"I'm your Mentor Naina and nothing can be hidden from me, especially if it's about you! Don't forget that!"

Without replying to him, Naina rushes out of the tent leaving Rajveer behind. He watches her leaving from the tent and the only thing that goes in his mind is to what must have been in that bag which Naina is hiding from him.

Outside the tent

Rushing out of the tent, running, Naina finally reaches a safe spot. She takes a sigh of relief and a long exhale escapes from her mouth. She holds her bag extremely close to her, as if she is afraid that someone will snatch it away from her.

"Cadet Ahluwalia"

The only voice which Naina never wants to hear, it drags her attention. Turning towards the voice, she finds Major Bharghav standing with a devilish smirk playing on his lips.

"Good Morning sir"

wishes Naina sarcastically

The sarcasm in Naina's voice makes Major Bharghav's smirk to grow even wider. He glares at Naina while he fixes his hat in his usual style.

"A very good morning to you too Cadet Naina"

he wishes her back with a smirk

His sarcastic tone tells Naina that there is something he is planing to do, maybe something against her, her friends or Captain Rajveer. Not caring about what he has to say anything further, Naina takes a step further from him, to leave.

Whereas Major Bharghav notices Naina very carefully. Suddenly, his gaze falls on the bag which Naina is holding very protectively.

"Cadet Naina"

he calls her from the back

Naina halts in her tracks after hearing his voice. Rolling her eyes in frustration, she turns towards him.

"Apni identity ke ilawa or bhi kuch baaki reh gaya hai chupana?"

he questions her, more like a taunt

Naina knits her brows in confusion as she fails to understand his words. Suddenly, she realises that he is looking towards her bag. At this moment, it hits her that even he has a doubt that she is hiding something. Blood drains out of Naina's face and she tightens her hold on her bag.

Not wanting to show her fear, Naina plants a fake smirk on her lips.

"Meri identity toh sab ko pata chal hi gayi hai Lekin aap ki gandi soch or harkatein KMA ko batana abhi baaki hai"

Naina yells out of irritation

This succeeds in making Major Bharghav angry.

"Watch your tongue Cadet Naina. Aap bhool rahi hain ke aap apne senior se baat kar rahi hain"

warns Major Bharghav with a harsh tone

Naina has had enough at this moment. She decides to leave from there. But as if Major Bharghav didn't like that, he desires to find out what Naina is hiding in her bag.

As Naina takes a step forward to leave, Major Bharghav trips her purposely with his foot. This leads the bag to fall from Naina's hand, leading the bag to hit a rock. And this causes the bag to rip off slightly from the side due to the way it fell on the rock.

The bag is not ripped off completely, but being the devil he is, Major Bharghav rips off the rest off the bag. Naina immediately looks towards her bag and blood drains out of her face. The only thing that she was trying to hide, it is now near Major Bharghav's feet, few pictures. Fortunately, the way these pictures fell, the back is facing towards the sky, so, the front of the pictures are still hidden.

And before Major Bharghav could pick those pictures up, another strong hand of Rajveer's takes the pictures and without looking, Rajveer immediately puts it in his pocket. Rajveer's face colours changes when he sees Naina fallen on the ground.

He immediately rushes towards her. He offers her a hand which she accepts. A line of irritation is evident on Major Bharghav's face as he watches this. Not being able to accept his defeat, Major Bharghav leaves from there angrily, and now are left Rajveer and Naina alone.

There is complete silence between them. With Rajveer's support, Naina tries to walk, but due to the fall, it has sprained Naina's ankle, so she is not able to even take a step forward, even with Rajveer's support.

Anger is evident on Rajveer's face, god knows why, which scares Naina all the more. Rajveer notices how she is having a hard time walking. Without giving her a warning, he holds her waist with his right arm protectively and with his other arm, he places it around the bend in her knees. And the next moment, Naina is in Rajveer's arms. She doesn't dare to utter a single word against it, as if he has full rights on her.

But before leaving from there, they don't forget to take the bag along with them. They start walking towards their tent. Naina keeps staring at Rajveer and as for Rajveer, he constantly walks without giving a glance at Naina. The look in Rajveer's eyes skips Naina's heartbeat. She doesn't understand why he is so upset. He didn't even see the pictures yet, so, there shouldn't be any reason to get angry. This thought drains the blood out of Naina's face. The pictures she has been hiding from Captain Rajveer, they are now in his pocket. Somehow she needs to take it away.

As for Rajveer, his blood is boiling with anger, not because of Naina, but because of Major Bharghav. Captain Rajveer saw how Major Bharghav tripped Naina on purpose, and he is now sure that Major Bharghav is plotting something against them. As for the pictures, he is not worried because now the pictures are with him and he will see it soon. He is sure that these were the pictures that Naina was hiding from him.

Soon they reach their tent. Getting inside, Rajveer places Naina down very carefully. Without uttering a word, Rajveer takes out a cream from the first-aid kit. He comes back and sits right in front of Naina.

As he moves his hand to reach her foot, Naina's heart skips a beat and she look towards him immediately.

"Mein laga leti hoon sir"

offers Naina in a whisper

With that, she tries to take the medication from his hand but, he pulls his hand back while he gives her a warning look which is enough to shut her up.

"Abhi tum mujhse ladne ki halat mein nahi ho, so, don't even try to argue"

replies Rajveer

His voice is stern and loud which is enough to give the other person chills down their spine. Naina lowers her gaze and forwards her injured foot.

Rajveer starts applying the cream on the affected area. The skin-to-skin touch sends shivers down both Naina's and Rajveer's spine. Both of their cheeks starts getting red, however, the self control he is, Rajveer controls his emotions. Naina shuts her eyes due to the pain. Rajveer starts massaging the cream very gently. This leads Naina's heart to skip a beat and she looks immediately towards Rajveer.

Only one emotion is evident on his face, anger. With a lot of courage, she decides to question him.

"Sir aap itne gusse mein kyun hain? Akhir kya wajah hai?"

she finally questions him

Captain Rajveer immediately stops what he is doing and looks towards her. His anger increasing by every passing second.

"Itni anjaan banne ki koshish mut karo Naina"

replies Rajveer sternly

Naina's heartbeat picks up pace with this question and a line of confusion is evident on her face.

"Mathlab?"

she questions in confusion

Staring her throughout, he keeps moving his fingers in circular motion on her ankle. Is she doing this on purpose? Or does she not understand the reason behind his anger?

"Tum batao, kis tarah giri tum?"

questions Rajveer

Naina lowers her gaze. She doesn't want to tell him the truth and stress him out even more.

"Sir...wo...mera pawn phisal.."

stammers Naina

Before Naina could say anything further, he points his right hand's index finger towards her.

"Don't!!! Don't you dare lie"

he warns her sternly

This makes Naina to look towards him immediately and they lock eyes. The warning look in Captain Rajveer's eyes scares Naina to an extent.

"Tumhe Major Bharghav ne jaan boojh ke giraya tha na?"

he questions her

Naina knows she has no other way. Lowering her eyes, she nods her head in affirmation.

This boils up Rajveer's anger and his other hand turns into a fist. In anger, he stands up and points his finger towards Naina.

"dekha!! Mujhe lag hi raha tha ke Major Bharghav kuch plan kar rahe hain"

yells Rajveer out of anger

This skips Naina's heartbeat.

"Sir please calm down"

says Naina

He moves his back towards her in irritation.

"How can I calm down Naina? Pata nahi Major Bharghav ke dimagh mein kya chal raha hai"

he mumbles in frustration

Just then, a thought crosses Rajveer's mind. The pictures! Oh yes, he needs to see what Naina is hiding.

He turns towards Naina and they lock eyes immediately. Staring her throughout, he moves his hand towards his pocket. Naina's eyes follows his hand and realizing that he is about to see the pictures, Naina's face colours changes.

-_-_-_-_-

END OF PART

With her face colours, the blood also drains out of her face as she watches Rajveer's hand moving towards the photos. No, there is no way she will ever let him see the photos. Because after the photos, god knows what he will do with her.

Getting scared, Naina immediately tries to get up with her twisted ankle. Although she is not able to stand properly, yet she still tries her level best. And in no time, she is on her feet, stumbling and the pain is evident on her face.

"Rajveer sir wo pictures mujhe dijiye"

orders Naina

Rajveer sees the fear in her eyes and now, he gets determined to find out. He puts his hand in his pocket and takes the pictures out. Without looking at the pictures yet, he stares Naina

"Kyun aisa kya hai inh pictures mein jo mein nahi dekh sakta?"

questions Rajveer

At this point, Naina has no time to reply. Before he can see the pictures, she needs to snatch it away from him. Within no time, she runs towards him with her injured foot.

But as soon as she reaches him, she stumbles and is about to fall when Rajveer holds her in his arms. This leads the pictures to fall on the ground, this time it clearly shows what's in the pictures.

Still holding her in his arms, Rajveer diverts his attention towards the pictures. He gets shocked on finding the pictures that are of Captain Naveen Singh Ahluwalia with his girlfriend, his girlfriend's face is not shown as it is hidden with a mask. The pictures are of the alumni night.

His eyes are open wide with shock. He looks towards Naina.

"Naina, ye pictures tumhare pass kaise aayi?"

he questions her sternly

Naina lowers her gaze at Rajveer's question. How will she tell him the truth? Her silence doesn't go very well with Rajveer and out of anger, he puts a bit of pressure on her waist that he is holding. This causes Naina to look back up in his eyes.

"Mein tumse kuch pooch raha hoon Naina"

yells Rajveer

His scream sends a shiver down Naina's spine. The anger in his eyes scares Naina all the more.

"Sir..wo..I stole them from Major Nair's room"

replies Naina stammering

This surprises Rajveer all the more. What the hell is this girl doing? She got a warning from Brigadier Chandook and still she is doing this? He notices her state and how she is having a hard time standing up on her feet due to her foot.

Holding her by her waist properly, he makes her to sit on the ground, carefully. The anger inside him increases all the more.

Standing back up, he looks directly at her while he points his index finger towards her.

"Dimagh toh kharab nahi ho gayya tumhara Naina?"

yells Rajveer

This skips Naina's heartbeat and she is not in a state to utter a single word. She knew he would confront her once he finds out, but she is also Naina, she needs to make him understand that these pictures are really important for her.

Taking a deep breath, Naina looks towards him confidently.

"Sir aap samajh kyun nahi rahe hain? Ye pictures bohut zaroori hain bhaiyya ko begunnah sabit karne ke liye"

says Naina

Rajveer stares at Naina in utter surprise. She will always be the same, stubborn and impulsive.

"Tum kyun nahi samajh rahi ho Naina ke ye Major Bharghav ki chaal hai. Wo kuch sabit karna chahte hain. Mein tumhe ye pictures apne pass nahi rakhne doonga"

he yells back at her

This skips her heartbeat and her stubbornness comes back . Naina stares at Rajveer with rage in her eyes.

"Or mein bhi ye pictures kisi ko nahi doongi"

replies Naina

With that, she gets up on her injured foot. Dragging herself towards the pictures, she picks them up. Rajveer watches her while anger is visible in his eyes. She will never understand.

Staring her throughout, Rajveer takes a step towards her.

"Pagal ho gayi ho tum. Ye pictures mujhe do Naina"

says Rajveer

As she sees him coming towards her, she takes a step back with much difficulty due to her foot. With every step he takes, Naina's heartbeat picks up pace.

"I'm sorry sir but mein ye pictures aap ko nahi de sakti"

replies Naina confidently

He takes another step towards her while she goes back. Rajveer forwards his right hand in front of Naina as of asking her for the pictures.

"Mera dimagh kharab mut karo. Give me these pictures dammit"

he yells at her

His yelling skips Naina's heartbeat as she nods her head in a "no". This brings up Rajveer's anger level. He tries to snatch the pictures out of her hand, but fails.

"Maine kaha na mein aapko ye pictures nahi doongi"

yells Naina

Ignoring her words, Rajveer finally corners her. Out of anger and frustration, Naina hides the pictures at her back. This irritates Rajveer all the more and wanting to take the pictures, Rajveer holds her wrist and puts a bit of pressure on it.

"Ouch!!"

A moan of pain escapes from Naina's mouth.

His grip is tight enough to hurt her. He closes his eyes as it's hurting him even more, but he needs to do this, not for himself, but for Naina.

"Give me the pictures god dammit!!"

yells Rajveer

With that, he puts a little bit more pressure so she would give up. And this succeeds. Not being able to bear the pain, the pictures from Naina's hands drops and lands on the ground.

Rajveer immediately leaves her and before Naina could take back the pictures, Rajveer immediately grabs them and puts it in his pocket. Just then, his gaze falls on another picture that is left on the ground. But luckily, Naina grabs it.

Again, Rajveer tries to snatch that last picture from her. This continues for three minutes. This time their position from the back is like there are hugging each other with so much intensity.

Suddenly, they hear a clapping sound from the back which drags both of their attention. Rajveer immediately leaves Naina and he is finally able to snatch the picture from her. He immediately hides it in his pocket.

They both turn towards the clapping sound and the blood drains out of both of their faces on finding Major Bharghav there along with the rest of the faculty members and the cadets.

-_-_-_-_-_-

END OF PART

Two hours Later - Evening

Major Bharghav dismisses all the cadets with their respected mentors for the route march. Without uttering a word, Naina follows Rajveer and they head towards their destination.

There is a complete silence between them as Rajveer is in no mood to talk. God knows why he is angry. Silently, Naina follows him.

It has been few minutes and still, none of them are uttering a word. This silence is killing Naina and she desires to know the reason behind Rajveer's behaviour.

"Sir"

calls out Naina in a whisper

This makes Rajveer to halt and causes him to look towards Naina

"Haan Naina bolo"

replies Rajveer calmly.

Even though his voice is calm but in his voice, Naina feels something strange, maybe his voice reflects some kind of fear.

"Sir aap theek hain?"

questions Naina getting concerned.

This melts Rajveer's heart. Not wanting to let her know, he lowers his eyes.

"Haan mein bilkul theek hoon, mujhe kya hona tha?"

replies Rajveer

With that, he turns his back towards Naina and starts to walk ahead. Before he could take a step further, Naina gets a hold of his wrist, as a sign of wanting to stop him. This skips Rajveer's heartbeat and he immediately looks towards Naina.

Keeping the eye-contact throughout, Naina comes in front of him.

"Sir please tell me kya baat hai? Aap pareshaan kyun hain? Or please jhoot mut boliye ke kuch nahi hua. Itne din aap ke sath KMA mein reh ke mein aapko kafi achi tarah se jaan gayi hoon"

says Naina with a warm tone

This swells Rajveer's heart with lots of love. He knows he cannot hide anything from her. Closing his eyes, Rajveer takes a deep breath.

He looks back towards Naina.

"Naina mujhe lag raha hai Major Bharghav kuch plan kar rahe hain"

replies Rajveer with serious expressions and his voice turns harsh as he utters Major Bharghav's name.

"Kya mathlab sir? Kaisa plan?"

questions Naina

Extending his hands, Rajveer holds Naina by her shoulders as he stares at her throughout.

"Mathlab Naina ke shayad Major Bharghav hamaray against kuch plan kar rahe hain. Hamein phasane ke liye"

replies Rajveer

This causes Naina to boil with rage. She knows Major Bharghav's intensions very well. Her right hand turns into a fist. Rajveer is very well aware of what Naina is thinking and this is the reason why he didn't want to tell her. He did not want to give her any stress.

"Mogambo kahin ka"

mumbles Naina under her breath with rage

This doesn't go unheard by Rajveer and a smile creeps on his lips as he hears Major Bharghav's nickname.

"Mogambo! Nice name I must say"

says Rajveer with a smirk

This also causes Naina to smile as they both bursts into fits of laughter. Now, turning serious, Rajveer takes Naina's hand in his.

"Remember one thing Naina, doesn't matter what happens, I'm always with you"

says Rajveer

This melts Naina's heart and she gives Rajveer a warm smile.

"I know that sir!"

replies Naina

With that, Rajveer leaves her hand and they start making their way towards their destination. Holding a map in her hand, Naina examines the entire place as a question skips her mind.

"Sir waise ye route march kya hota hai?"

questions Naina

Rajveer keeps examining the place as he doesn't look towards Naina.

"Route march kisi bhi jagah ki geography samajhne ke liye ek kisam ki exercise hai lekin mujhe lagta hai Major Bharghav isse ek obstacle race banana chahte hain"

replies Rajveer getting pissed off

From the last few minutes, they have only been able to do only one marking. These types of exercises have been very simple for Captain Rajveer, but today, he is having a hard time. This proves that there is something cooking in Major Bharghav's head.

Naina understands what Rajveer exactly means. Naina decides to change the topic.

"Toh acha haina sir! Mein.. AHHH"

yells Naina

Naina's scream skips Rajveer's heartbeat and he turns around in horror.

"Naina!!"

he shouts

He doesn't find her anywhere. Looking carefully, he finds her sliding down from the rock.

"Sirr!!!"

yells Naina

Without thinking about anything, he jumps after her and lands on the ground. Looking up, he finds Naina on the side.

"Naina tum theek hona?"

questions Rajveer getting concerned

With surprised expressions and with a smirk, Naina looks towards him.

"sir mein toh theek hoon...par...aap?"

says Naina

This causes Rajveer to knits his eyebrows as he looks around himself. He looks carefully and finds himself covered in mud water.

"Eeeppsss...I hate keechad"

he makes a disgusted face as he utters these words

This causes Naina to laugh out loud which causes Rajveer to look towards her. How dare she laugh at him and make fun of him?

"Will you stop laughing?"

says Rajveer with fake anger

Wanting to get up, Rajveer moves a little. Instead of succeeding, he falls back in the keechad. This causes Naina to laugh even harder which makes Rajveer to look towards her again, with irritation.

"Naina will you stop laughing?"

shouts Rajveer in frustration.

Naina pushes her lips together in order to stop herself. Wanting to get him out of the mud water, Naina extends her hand towards him.

"Laiye sir hath dijiye"

offers Naina smirking

At first Rajveer decides to not take her help. And why would he? This girl was laughing at him constantly. But then, a thought crosses his mind. She needs to taste the medicine as well.

Reaching her hand, Rajveer gets a hold of it. Instead of taking her help to come out, he pulls her hand, leading her to also fall in the keechad.

"Sir!!!"

shouts Naina in irritation

Now it is Rajveer's turn to laugh. On top of that, he starts throwing the dirty water on her.

"Ab hanso"

mocks Rajveer smirking

He constantly throws dirty water on her as she keeps trying to hide herself with her hands.

"Sir...please stop!!"

pleads Naina

But it looks like Rajveer is in no mood to listen to her pleads, therefore, he doesn't make an effort to stop. This frustrates Naina all the more. Fine, tit for tat. She also takes the keechad and starts throwing it on him.

"Naina...no...stop!"

shouts Rajveer

Now, it's Naina's turn to not stop. She keeps throwing the dirty water on him while Rajveer constantly shouts at her to stop. And this is it, he needs to get her to stop. If she won't listen to him, he has to use other ways in order to stop her.

Without thinking, Rajveer moves closer to her. He holds both of her wrists and in no time, he pulls her to the ground, so now, she is laying on the ground, her hands pinned above her head which Rajveer is holding and he is slightly on top of her.

This succeeds in skipping Naina's heartbeat and her cheeks starts turning red due to their position which Rajveer definitely in aware of. Naina lowers her gaze and constantly tries to get out of his hold, but, fails miserably. Instead of letting her go, Rajveer keeps a firm grip.

"Sir please choriye"

requests Naina with a whisper

Rajveer can feel the vulnerability in her voice. He stares at her throughout.

"Tum chahti ho ke mein tumhe choor doon Naina?"

questions Rajveer huskily

His double meaning words sends shivers down Naina's spine and she looks back in Rajveer's eyes with her heartbeat racing fast like a marathon.

"Pleas-e..c-choriye"

pleads Naina

He notices how she is having a hard time speaking due to their closeness. He really enjoys the effect that he has on her.

Staring her throughout, he moves an inch closer to her.

"Or agar mein na choroon toh?"

he questions with a smirk

This causes Naina's heart to pick up pace. She keeps trying to get herself out of his grip, but in vain! No, his grip isn't hurting her, but is firm enough to not let her escape.

Her cheeks turns hot red out of blush under his intense gaze, but she doesn't lower her gaze. She gives him a tough competition in staring.

"Toh...toh mein chillongi"

utters Naina completely unaware of her words.

This brings a huge grin on his face while he moves another inch closer to her leading both of their heartbeats to skip.

"Toh chillao!! By all means, go ahead Cadet! But yahan tumhe koi nahi sun payega"

replies Rajveer with a wink

This sends chills down Naina's spine as she knows Rajveer's intensions very well. No, there is no way she minds their closeness, but how can she let him know that she likes all this?

Taking a deep breath, Naina shuts her eyes in order to control her emotions. She opens her eyes, but she lowers is quickly and doesn't dare to meet his beautiful eyes.

"Kya chahte hain aap?

questions Naina with a whisper

Naina's question doesn't surprise Rajveer, instead this is the perfect opportunity for Rajveer to get out an answer from her.

"Mujhe mera jawab chahiye"

replies Rajveer with a demanding tone

This was completely unexpected for Naina. She knew she had to answer him during route march, but she didn't expect it to be that way. A shiver goes down her spine as she hears such words from Rajveer.

Rajveer notices how vulnerable Naina is feeling at this moment. Feeling pity on her, he lets go off her hands. Naina immediately sits up straight and gets up to leave, but halts. Turning around, she finds her wrist in Rajveer's hand.

"Naina mera jawab!"

he reminds her again.

She knows what exactly he is referring to, but she pretends as if she doesn't know.

"J-jawab? Mathlab?"

questions Naina

This brings a smile on Rajveer's face. Without letting her hand go, he helps her to get out of the mud water.

Still holding her wrist, he drags her towards a nearby tree as he hovers her from both sides so she has no chance of escaping.

"You know it very well Naina ke mein kis jawab ka intzaar kar raha hoon"

replies Rajveer

This skips Naina's heartbeat and she lowers her gaze out of shyness. How can she answer him?

"wo..."

stammers Naina

He moves a step closer to her as he leans in a little towards her.

"haan mein sun raha hoon"

replies Rajveer with a smirk

Naina shuts her eyes due to their closeness. Taking a deep breath, she meets his eyes, again! There is no way she will answer him so quickly. She decides to play along.

"waise sir jo aapne poocha tha wo kya tha? mein toh bhool gayi"

replies Naina innocently with a smirk

A smile creeps on Rajveer's lips. Staring her throughout, he grabs her wrist and pulls her to him, putting her hand at her back.

"koi baat nahi! Mein yaad dela deta hoon!"

replies Rajveer

Naina's heartbeat picks up pace as her cheeks turns red out of shyness. Rajveer moves his lips closer to her right ear. Naina shuts her eyes as her breath hitches in her throat as she can feel his hot breath on her skin.

"Mere hisab se bewakoof or tumhare hisab se lucky, kya tum wo ladki banna pasand karogi Naina?

Rajveer repeats his earlier question

This causes Naina to gasp. This is not the first time that she is hearing this, but everytime, his words skips her heartbeat. There is some magic in his words that leaves a spell on her. He waits for her to speak, but when she does not give him a response, he pulls her even closer.

"jawab do Naina!"

he whispers again

Naina knows that this is the perfect opportunity to give him an answer and she also knows that he won't leave her unless she answers him.

"haan mein wo ladki banna chahongi!!"

she whispers right away

This makes Rajveer to halt and he immediately takes a step back. Did she really just say that? or is he dreaming? He looks at Naina and finds her eyes lowered while a blush is evident on her face. So, this is not a dream!

As soon as Naina finds him away from her, taking the opportunity, she tries to run from there. But Rajveer is fast enough! He gets a hold of her wrist again and pulls her to him. At this time, her back is towards Rajveer's front, so, he is back hugging her.

"Naina! Mera jawab toh mujhe mil gaya lekin ab mujhe wo teen lafz bhi sunne hain"

demands Rajveer

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

END OF PART

Not only Rajveer's but Naina's voice drags the attention of each cadet and faculty members. As of now, all eyes are on Naina.

"Yes Cadet Singh?"

questions Brigadier Chandook

Naina looks towards Brigadier Chandook but not before giving a look towards Captain Rajveer.

"Sir is mein Rajveer sir ki koi galti nahi hai"

replies Naina confidently

This causes Brigadier Chandook to knit his brows out of confusion. Rajveer keeps staring at Naina as his eyes reflects anger. Knowing that his eyes are on her, Naina doesn't glance at him, not even once.

"Tum kehna kya chahti ho?"

questions BC sternly

Taking a deep breath, Naina looks towards Major Bharghav as she gives him a death glare.

"Sir Major Bharghav Rajveer sir ko phasane ki koshish kar rahe hain"

replies Naina confidently

As of now, Rajveer's anger has been reached to a maximum height. This girl is crazy. She doesn't understand that if her accusations aren't proved, she can get into big trouble. His right hand turns into a fist.

Staring her throughout, Rajveer takes a step towards Naina.

"Ye tum kya bol rahi ho Naina? Stop it right now"

says Captain Rajveer sternly looking towards Naina in anger

Naina refrains herself from looking in Rajveer's direction, and instead, she looks straight at Brigadier Chandook.

"Ek minutes Captain "

says Brigadier looking towards Captain Rajveer

Now shifting his gaze towards Naina, Brigadier Chandook stares at her with multiple questions.

"Bolo Cadet Singh, tum kya kehna chahti ho?"

questions BC

A helpless Rajveer takes a deep breath out of irritation. This girl will always stay stubborn and impulsive.

With a smirk, looking straight towards Major Bharghav, Naina takes a map out of her bag. Shifting her vision towards Brigadier Chandook, Naina walks towards him.

Reaching him, Naina hands him the map.

"Ye dekhiye sir, ye hai wo map jo Major Bharghav ne route march ke liye hanein dia tha. Ab aap hi bataiye hum kya karte?"

says Naina confidently

Shifting his vision towards the map, Brigadier Chandook stares at it and his eyes widens in utter shock on finding a blank piece of paper in front of him.

He stares back at Naina

"Ye toh khali hai"

states BC

Smirking, Naina looks towards Major Bharghav and then she looks back towards Brigadier Chandook.

"Exactly sir hamein ye hi dia gaya tha. Or is se pehle aap kahein ke mein jhoot bol rahi hoon, is paper pe neechay Major Bharghav ke signature hain. Jis se ye prove hota hai ke ye map unhon ne hi hamein dia tha"

says Naina confidently

This causes everyone to gasp and Major Bharghav's eyes widens out of shock. Absolutely he gave them a wrong map, but a blank map? That too with his signature on it? How is this even possible? He had to follow a certain procedure for this route march. The procedure was that on every map he would give to each Mentor-Protge, he would have to sign the bottom, making the map official.

While Rajveer is shocked to the core at this strategy of Naina's, there is anger taking place in Brigadier Chandook's eyes. Looking towards Major Bharghav, Brigadier Chandook walks towards him.

"Ye sab kya hai Major?"

yells Brigadier Chandook

This skips Major Bharghav's heartbeat and the blood drains out of his face. He grabs the paper and stares at it in shock.

Now, he looks back towards Brigadier Chandook

"Sir ye sach nahi hai"

yells Major Bharghav

In anger, BC snatches the paper out of Bharghav's hand.

"Lekin ye sign toh tumhare hi haina?"

yells BC

At this point, Major Bharghav has no idea whatever the hell is going on. Without realising what he is about to do or say, Major Bharghav snatches the paper from BC's hand and walks towards Naina angrily.

Reaching her, he pushes her to the ground as he throws the empty paper on her.

"Ye kaise ho sakta hai? Maine toh galat map pe sign kiye thay? Lekin is khali paper par kaise aagayye?"

confesses Major Bharghav without realising

Major Bharghav's confessions drags everyone's attention. Rajveer immediately rushes towards Naina and with his support, he gets her to stand back up.

Rajveer's anger has reached to a next level. How dare he push Naina?Angrily, Rajveer walks towards Major Bharghav. He has lost all his senses at this point.

Reaching him, Rajveer grabs him by his collar.

"Aapki himmat kaise hui Naina ke sath aise behave karne ki?"

yells Rajveer

All this is witnessed by Brigadier Chandook along with all the other faculty members. After witnessing this, BC is in a big shock. He immediately rushes towards Rajveer and Bharghav.

"Captain Rajveer leave him. This is an order"

says BC

At this, Captain Rajveer comes back to his senses and immediately he leaves Major Bharghav's collar. Everyone, including Naina, is shocked after witnessing this side of Rajveer's. While others are in utter surprise, there is a smile playing on Alekh's and Dr. Shalini's face after witnessing this possessive side of Rajveer's, that is for Naina!

At this moment, Major Bharghav realises what a blunder he made. He, himself, confessed the truth in front of everyone. And now, no one can save him.

Brigadier Chandook glares at Major Bharghav

"Tumhari is harket ke baad I don't think ab tum yahan rehne ke layak ho Major"

yells BC

With his eyes being lowered, Major Bharghav marches out of KMA angrily, without even grabbing his stuff.

As soon as Mogambo leaves, everyone takes a deep breath. Brigadier Chandook walks towards Captain Rajveer.

"I'm sorry Captain! I hope tum mujhe maaf kar doge for my misbehaviour"

apologizes BC

This makes Rajveer's heart to melt.

"Don't say sorry sit! It's completely fine!"

replies Rajveer

With a huge smile, Brigadier Chandook leaves from there. One by one, all the faculty members also leaves along with the cadets.

But before leaving, Ali winks at Naina with a smirk on his lips and in response, Naina gives him a thumbs up with the biggest smile possible. This is all witnessed by Rajveer who has his mouth open out of utter surprise. So, this is how Major Bharghav's signature were on that empty paper? Wow! She surly has learned much from him in making strategies!

One by one, everyone leaves and now are left Naina and Rajveer. While Rajveer is happy about everything, but, still there is some anger inside him. What would have happened if Naina's accusations weren't proved? She could have been expelled from KMA. Naina notices the look on Rajveer's face and realises that he is angry, and she is very well aware of the reason.

Not wanting to talk about this at this point, Naina decides to leave towards her room.

Ignoring his gaze, Naina takes a step towards to leave. This doesn't go very well with Rajveer. There is no way she can escape from his questions. Before she could leave, Rajveer grabs her wrist.

"Tumhe nahi lagta tumhe mujhe kafi kuch explain karna hai Cadet Naina Singh?"

says Rajveer sternly

His stern voice sends shivers down Naina's spine and her heartbeat picks up pace. Him calling her "Cadet Singh" is an indication of something dangerous.

Without letting her to give a chance to explain, he drags her out of there and they head outside KMA.

-_-_-_-_-

Standing at a place where no one seems be around, Rajveer has been pacing up and down while Naina is just staring at him. It has literally been 30 minutes and he is not saying a single word.

Naina has had enough of his silence. Reaching him, she stands right in front of him.

"Sir aap itne gusse mein kyun hain?"

questions Naina

This drags Rajveer's attention. He immediately looks in her eyes. Anger and pain are both visible in his eyes.

"Ye tum mujhse pooch rahi ho? Tum achay se janti ho mein kyun gussa hoon"

yells Rajveer

This skips Naina's heartbeat. She takes a step back which causes Rajveer to take a step closer to her out of anger. How dare she move away when he is talking to her?

Naina knows why he is angry but something she doesn't understand is, what was the big deal in it?

"Haan toh is mein gussa karne ki kya baat hai sir?"

questions Naina blankly

This rises Rajveer's anger. This girl will never understand. Grabbing her by both of her shoulders, Rajveer pulls her to him with a jerk, angrily.

"Do you even realises the consequences Naina? Agar tum kuch prove na kar pati toh tumhe KMA se bahir phank dia jaata"

yells Rajveer

His sudden yelling causes Naina to shiver out of fear. But she is also Naina Singh Ahluwalia, she jerks his hands away and stares at him angrily.

"Aap kyun nahi samajh rahe? Agar mein ye sab na karti toh wo aapko Solitary Confinement mein daal dete"

yells Naina

With that, she takes a step towards him. Rajveer gets shocked with Naina's sudden yelling. In utter shock, he takes a step backwards.

Looking deeply in her eyes, he relaxes a little. He holds her by her shoulders, slightly.

"Or agar tumhe kuch ho jata toh? Tum kyun meri wajah se apne aap ko risk mein daal rahi thi Naina?"

questions Rajveer softly

Instead of calming her down, it rises Naina's anger. How dare he even ask this question? How could he? For him, she can do anything. She can even give her life for him and here, he is questioning her?

Out of anger, Naina grabs his collar as she pulls him closer. She looks in his eyes with rage.

"Because I am in love with you Captain Rajveer Singh Shekhawat! Do you not understand this fact?"

Naina yells her lungs out

And suddenly, a smile starts to creep on Rajveer's lips. He didn't know it was that easy for him. Staring her, smirking, he grabs her waist and pulls her closer.

"Really? You love me?"

questions Rajveer smirking

This makes Naina to halt and she realises what she did. She has confessed her love for him. She looks at Rajveer in utter surprise. The smile on his lips, it tells her that something is weird. It tells her that it was his strategy in order to get her to confess. She remembers their challenge and yes, she has lost.

"Iska mathlab aapne ye sab jaan boojh ke kiya?"

questions Naina in surprise

Smiling at her, Rajveer moves his head in affirmation. This irritates Naina all the more. Pushing him off, she stands at a fair distance. She points her right hand's index finger towards him.

"Itni serious situation mein aapko mazak soojh raha hai?"

she yells

This causes Rajveer to turn serious. The smile from his face vanishes. Slowly, he starts making his way towards Naina, leading Naina's heartbeat to pick up pace and she starts moving backwards.

This repeats until her back hits a nearby wall. And before Naina could utter a word, Rajveer immediately places a soft kiss on her forehead. This makes Naina to close her eyes as she feels his touch.

"I love you Naina!"

confesses Rajveer

This brings tears in Naina's eyes. Looking up, she looks intently in his eyes.

"I love you too Rajveer!"

she confesses again'

Hearing only "Rajveer" from her mouth for the very first time, it melts his heart. Without warning her, he immediately pulls her in his embrace. Naina reciprocates with the same intensity.

They stand like this for few minutes when a thought crosses Naina's mind.

"Waise sir mein challenge haar gayi hoon. Aap bataoye aapko kya chahiye?"

questions Naina

Smiling at her question, Rajveer breaks the hug and holds her shoulders while he looks deeply in her beautiful eyes.

"Mujhe bus tumhara sath chahiye Naina. Waada karo mujhse ke tum mujhse kabhi door nahi jaogi"

says Rajveer

This causes Naina's eyes to brim with tears, tears of love, tears of joy!

"Waada!"

replies Naina

Wada Raha Pyaar Se Pyaar Ka
Ab Hum Naa Honge Judaa

Staring at each other, they make silent promises to each other. They promise to love each other until their last breath, until their last drop of blood!
