Naina ran towards the door. But Neelu had already opened the door and greeted Huda inside. Yudi came forward and hugged Huda, followed by Alekh. But Huda's eyes were searching for Naina. There, he saw her, standing beside the hallway. She has gone frail, her skin had lost the slight pink glow it always had. Instead, it was white - pure white now. Her hair was tied in a neat knot. She was wearing a pair of jeans and a long-sleeved pink t-shirt. She was looking beautiful – his Phoolan was a beauty.

" Phoolan – I have got the Ch-," Huda stopped mid-way as Naina indicated him to stop by putting her index finger on her lips. Huda fell thrilled. So he and Naina share a secret which others don't know. He felt really special.

After a delicious lunch of biriani and dahi, all the cadets and Neelu went outside in the garden to stroll around. Naina sat on a swing and unconsciously began to sway a little. "Phoolan , ye le ," Huda handed over a piece of paper to Naina, " There were two chaubeys , so I wrote the numbers for both. "
" Thanks huda, tere help k liye, I will always remember this help. " A flicker of a smile passed through Naina's face.
"Phoolan main………", Huda stopped as Naina abruptly got up from the swing and walked into the house. . He quickly dried a drop of tear from his eye and proceeded towards Neelu to flirt with her in his usual ways, burying the pain of unreciprocated love deep down in his heart.

It was decided that Huda and Alekh would leave for HUda's home next morning. Naina requested Yudi to leave his cellphone with her for that night as she wanted to ring her parents.

It was 9 in the evening. All were engrossed in the cricket game showing on television in the living room, Naina went up to Neelu's room. She took out yudi's cellphone and the chit of paper that Huda had given her. She keyed in the first number,
"Crnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng," After sometime a voice came from the other side, "Hello".

" Main Naina bol rahi hoon. "

"Kaun Maynah……. Kahan se bol rahi hai tu, dadijee kaise hai , tera bacchcha thik to hai…….."

Naina pressed the disconnect key of the cell hard enough to break it.
It was an imported set and endured the wrath of Naina's anger.

Naina inserted the second number.

"Hello, who is speaking," came from the other end.

"Naina"

There was a pause of 15 seconds

"18"

"57 " replied Naina

"White"

"Black" her heart started to beat faster.

"red"

"Box". Naina held Her breath

"code"

"C H B"


" Malaudh, 30 miles 40 degrees north east. "

The phone was clicked off.

That night Naina could not sleep. How could she?
" Her Rajveer Sir is alive. He is waiting for her. He loves her and has confidence that she will be able to find him. He needs her. She must be there with him, at once." How she longed to be with him, to hold his hand , to give him support. She would always be on his side. She wanted Rajveer's to cross all difficult hurdles, prove the system to be unjust and regain his glory. She wanted to be a part of Rajveer's struggle, to be always beside him so that whenever he would turn back, he would find her smiling face and supporting nod.

"I am coming Sir " Naina cried out loud.

At that moment Neelu entered the room. "Naina – are you talking with yourself?"

"No Neelu," Naina was quick, " I just spoke with Mom. They are returning home after two days. So it is my time to say Good bye to you all. "

"Naina, don't say that, we will of course be meeting each other"

The dinner was served. They discussed about their future plan. Alekh and Huda would leave the next day for Huda's place. Naina would stay for two more days and then leave for her home.

That whole night Naina thought about her plans. The first question that popped in her mind was whether she should go alone or take the help of the boys. She pondered and weighed the pros and con and finally came to the conclusion that "chahe kuch bhi ho jaye", she would go for it alone. Once that decided, Naina made her plans and jotted down a list of things she would need in her note book. Most of the things she could buy from local shops, the only problem was the gun. She wanted to keep one with her.

Yes, though Naina was not consciously aware of it, she had become one – a soldier. Just imagining the feeling of cold metal in her hand pushed adrenalin to her brain and automatically her right hand tried to grip the pen as if it was the gun.
Like her mentor and lover, Naina was a born soldier. She did not need the soldier-ship to be thrust upon her.


Suddenly a thought came to her mind. She quickly went through the pages of her note book and found the cell number of Abhimanyu. She dialed the number.

"Hello, "

Naina sobbing.

" Hello, kaun"

Naina sobbing more.


" Naina !"

"Yes Sir"

"Tum kaise ho"

" I am feeling very bad sir, I feel like killing myself ."

" Naina, Hum hai na. , sab kuch thik ho jayega."

" Nahin sir , mere liye sab khatam ho chuka"

"Naina, let us meet tomorrow. Where are you now?"

Naina knew it and wanted it. . She also knew that Captains were always supposed to carry guns."

"Sir, there is the South Lake resort. Let us meet there. "

"Okay tomorrow, at 3 pm "

"Thank you sir"

"You are welcome Cad….. Naina."

hey too good

pl continue soon

I want a long update next time.
superb!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Next morning Huda and Alekh left for Huda's house. All the cadets hugged each other before they parted. Obviously there was a special hug between Alekh and Neelu.
"Naina , jab tujhe humari zaroorat padegi, hume bula lena.," Alekh said to Naina. Alekh could sense that Naina was up to something. But had no idea what it was.

Likewise, Huda also had no idea why Naina wanted Chaubey's phone Number.
While hugging Naina Huda whispered in her ear, " Tujhe chaube mili kya telephone mein."
"Yes," Naina whispered back.
"Usne kya bola?" asked Huda
"Kuchh khas nahin" was the cold reply from Naina.

Huda was a simple boy though he pretended to be smart and clever with girls. He truly loved his Phoolan – Naina, but never understood her. Naina was not a simple girl. She had different layers in her character; She could be jolly and friendly. She also could be cold and icy. On one hand, she was honest and hardworking, on the other she could stoop down quite low to achieve what she wanted. She was not the type to easily fall in love, but once she was in love, she would never be out of it. She might feel soft towards a stray kitten and bring it home to take care. She could also kill her enemy in cold blood. She could remain unresponsive to the hugs of Huda and Alekh, but a touch of Rajveer's hand would create havoc in her body.
She was the mystery woman personified.
She was Naina Ah Singh, not Huda's cup of tea.
For that matter, she was too strong a cup for Captain Abhimanyu too.

So when Abhimanyu Rai Chauhan proposed to meet Naina in the Lake resort, he was not aware what fate was awaiting him there.

Abhimanyu did not know how desperate Naina was. He did not know that a woman in love would do anything and everything to get her love – back. Abhimanyu was never loved in such a way. He was a complex and solitary person. His princely roots never allowed him to mix freely with commoners and he never felt that he himself belonged to the royalty.


ViII

After Huda and Alekh had left, Naina requested Yudi to lend her some money. She asked Neelu to drop her at the Bus station. When Neelu offered to accompany her to the ticket counter, Naina said a firm "No." So while Neelu waited for her in the car, Naina went to the ticket counter and bought a ticket to Malaudh for the next day.

Next she went to market and bought some necessary things like candle matches, a pocket knife, compass, roles of thread, a very strong rope, etc, etc. In short everything that a soldier should have in her bag.

Naina also bought a pair of simple salwar suits , - the types that do not make one conspicuous in a rural area. She also bought two big dupattas that would cover her body half way through. The only thing left was the gun.
Afternoon, 3 pm sharp. Naina bought the 20 taka gate-pass and got inside the resort. It was a very nice place, away from the usual crowd of small town, clean and glassy water with a hilly backdrop. Boating and rafting were possible too. There were few people here and there . There was a corner in the lake where swimming was allowed. Naina walked towards that corner.
She chose a secluded place and sat down. She was wearing the same white salwar kameez she wore when she went with Raj to Point 1857. What a magical night that was. She was feeling so happy. It was like a dream.
Suddenly a feeling to hold and cry in Raj's arms choked her completely. She started to sob. It was no play-acting. She just could not control herself.

At that moment Captain Abhimanyu arrived. He stood tall over Naina,

"Naina mat ro, hum hai na" said Ahi.

Naina pulled herself together. "Baithiye Sir"

"No "Sir ", only "Abhimanyu"

"Baithiye Abhimanyu." Naina obliged.

Abhi started to console Naina saying that he had organized trials for the cadets. Cadets would have to undergo the trial process and accept the minimum punishment given to them.
Naina seemed not to listen to Abhi. Instead she started throwing small pebbles into the water.
"Kaash yahan koi samundar hota, mujhe samundar ke pas jaane ko man karta hai, jahan bahut shaanti milti hai," sighed Naina

Meanwhile, she had already assessed Abhi and had tried to identify the familiar bulge. She could not find any on his body. So it must in his shoes or he had left it in the jeep whichwas very unlikely.
"Dekho Naina , paani jahan bhi hote , paani hi hote, unse bahit shanty milta hai. Chalo main tumhe dikhata hoon kaise paani mien shantiyoga karna chahiye,.

Naina delightfully chuckling to herself, but with a straight face for Abhi – " Kya faida hai sir, mujhe kuch bhi thik nahin kar payeaga. "

"Chalo …" Abhi started to take off his shirt and shoes. His body glistened in the afternoon sun showing his well-built physique. His disheveled hair shone like a crown on his head. He was actually looking very handsome. He was a good swimmer too. With slow but steady steps he approached the water, felt the temperature with his toe. He looked back at Naina and smiled.
Naina knew that he would do the "palat" . So she waited till this moment. As soon as Abhi again turned his back towards her and submerged in the water, she swiftly put a paper inside one of the shoes and snatched the revolver out and hid it under her dupatta.
She kept on watching Abhi's antics in the water till he was not further away.

When next time Abhi turned back, Naina was nowhere to be seen.

At first Abhimanyu thought that Naina had got bored with his yoga and had strolled away. He continued to swim. But after another quarter of an hour, there was no trace of Naina. Abhi felt nervous and swam back to the lakeshore He found his shoes and shirt there but no sign of Naina. He looked into his shoes.
The gun has vanished!
Instead there was a piece of paper, with a hurriedly written message – "Sorry Sir."
Abhi even did not know where was Naina now. He would have to go back to the Academy to find out where Naina 's home was. But he saluted her spirit and smiled to himself.

u have described naina's character very well. it is true and satyam k tripathy who has penned naina's char had something similar in mind i guess. warm and soft when in love cold and calculative when she's angry. does not respond to anyone except the person she loves - her bro, her family, her raaj.
