"Huh?", she was about to reply, when she saw Captain Rajveer walking to his class, with a group of Cadets, and Colonel Priya Gill, from the corner of her eye.....
He gave her a grin.....in a way that only she could recognize it.....a sudden warmth rushed her cheeks, as Nishant noticed he cheeks turning a light shade of pink.
"Aapka.....naam?", he asked again.
"Naina......", she somehow felt that Rajveer had halted for a milisecond, "Naina Sigh Ahluwalia", Rajveer walked away......
"Naina.....aap....last year academy top kar chukin hai......", he smiled at her, "...aur Major Nair to bilkul aapke fan hai...."
Naina giggled a bit.....but before she could reply with equal wit, the infirmary had come, so they poured in.

"Ohh, common in!", she yelled from her cubical, as she saw Huda peeping inside.
They walked in.
"Aap che cadets ki to rag-rag se waakif hoon.....Aur Lt. Nishant se bhi kal mulaquaat huyee...."
"Nishant......if you dont mind!"
"Ahh...ok Nishant. Baaki ke aap chaar se baatein karni hai...."
"Yeh lo Doctor.....hum to bekaar main aa gaye!"
"No ways Chief.....its just that she doesnt know the others....", Yudi and Huda gossiped as they stood there.
"Make yourself comfortable Cadets!", she called out to them, as she turned to the other four.
Hmmm.....so.....you are.....hmmmm....", she looked at the list sent to her, "Siya.....Siya Mehra....."
"Yes!"
"So, I havent seen you much last year."
"Ma'm, I was a late entry from IMA......"
"Aha.....So why did you change the school?"
"Personal reasons!"
"I think you can confide in us....."

"Jee....but the Breg.Chandok gave me another chance!"
"Well, thats really good! And.....you are......Amrut....Amrut Kaur.....ahh....I remember you, you were hurt on your shoulder during the ragging.....right?"
