"kaisa lag raha hun..."
"bilkul jaise hum dekhna chahte hain..waise...!!!"
"hum..."
"han hum sab...{especially mein...}"
he smiled his appealing smile!!1...and she was lost again..
"to apni chutti kahan bitaenge aap???..."
"abhi tak decide nahi kiya lakin...(tumhare saath bita pata to accha hota..he thought!!)..."
"lekin???"
"lekin..."
he moved forward...and she was close to the wall now...
so.......
"Toh, aap part le rahi hain, is review main?"
"Jee?", she was brought back from her trance.
"Aap part lengi is review main?", he repeated.
"Review?"
He moved a side to give her a clear view of the notice. She realized what was he asking.....
"Hmmm....I dont have a choice, do I?"
"Well....no....."
She smiles, and looks back at him.....
"Aap itna tensed kyun hai? Apne fan mails ke baare main soch ke dar gaye?"
He laughs out aloud.
"Arre nahin.....mujhe aap sab ki rai ka intezaar rahega....but there's still more, on this font.....than what you imagine....."
"Kya Sir?"
"Waqt aane par khud jaan jaogi!"
She smiled at him....leaving him quite dazed.....and walked away.....he looked at her walk down the corridor.....there was something different....something carefree.....something alien about this Naina......she had changed.....
......Indeed she had.....little did Rajveer know, that she had promised her brother to stand strong....and try to be the same happy girl she always used to be.....that brought a smile on Naveen's face......sometimes, she did find it difficult.........but she was changing................

"Opening Ceremony", retorted Breg.Chandok in the huge assembly hall, his voice echoing in its vastness, as all the cadets and teachers stood listening to him intently,"is scheduled on Tuesday, at 2000hrs in the grounds. It will be a formal party when the faculty shall get a last chance to speak to their cadets before the review begins! The senior most Army Officials are invited so as to inspire out students on the occasions."
It was later conveyed that the students and teachers are to come in as singles.
The dress code and other arrangements was to be decided by Dr.Shalini. Yudi, as usual, volunteered to assist her. Pooja ran choruses for Suriji, while the other kept to their rooms studying.
On monday night, Naina was walking upto the mess, for breakfast, with Pooja. They saw a crowd around the notice board.
"Arre, yeh Shalini ma'm pagal ho gayee hain kya!", said one of the girl cadets.
"Baap re....main to leave le kar ghar jaa rahee hoon....", said another.
Huda emerged from he crowd, smiling.
"Kyaa baat hai Huda, sab ladkiyaan itnee chid kyun rahee hain?"
But before he answered, a boy cadet nearby, teased her,
"Oye, saadi Miss Freasher kaisee lagegi?", and everyone
'ooooooohh'd in reply.
Naina and Pooja were still clueless.
".....err....woh kyaa hain na Naina...."
"....bata Huda....!!"
"......woh...dress codes nikal aaye hain....aur....aur....jananiyon ko....ko....woh....saari pahen ni hai......"
Naina stared back at him, thunderstruck! However Pooja was smiling.
"Arre Wah!"
"Huh?", Naina looked at her astonished!
"Main to abhi se 'arre wah!' keh rahi hoon........main jaanti hoon, saadi phoolan khoob lagegi!", and she walked away!
