Part- 12
Naina had finished all preliminary work for her project and she didn't have any other work for next month as she had to wait for officials' reports to start the actual work. So she was free. On the other hand, Major Bhargav had started to drive everyone crazy in the academy with his stupid rules. One evening Raj and Naina were in their room alone when Raj got a phone call from his senior officer.
Raj- Jay Hind sir…
Sir- Captain, I have some news to tell you. I am assigning you an officer who will be your partner in this mission.
Raj- But sir, everything here is under control, and why would I need someone else's help? Don't you trust me anymore?
Sir- Don't be silly captain, of course I trust you and you will know the reason when you meet your partner. Your partner will arrive tomorrow morning and assigned in KMA as Weapons teacher.
Raj- Ok sir, Jay Hind…
After Raj finished his call, he looked a little upset.
Naina- What happened?
Raj- They are assigning me a partner in this mission.
Naina- What? Who is your partner?
Raj- I know that tomorrow. I only know that the new weapons teacher is my partner. Now how will I investigate about Naveen's innocence?
Naina- Don't worry, it will be all right. I know you will find a way. I am with you.
Raj- Thanks….
Naina smiled at him but inside she was also worried about this new partner's arrival.
************************************************************ ************
First year cadets were in distress after MB's arrival. Our five cadets had already received more than hard punishments from Major Bhargav because of they refused to follow his rules. They all were pissed and talking about that on the ground.
Huda- ye saala mogambo, Hitler ki khandan se hai kya? Jab bhi dekho punishment sunata rehta hai?
Aalekh- Pehli baar tune koi sahi baat boli Huda, ye saala apun logo ki vaat lagane lag gaya hai.
Pooja- Meri to battery hi nahi chalti ab? Agar aisa hi connection raha na to main to wapas chali jaaongi…. Maine to apne papaji se keh diya hai ek hafte main isne ek bhi aur punishment di to main ye KMA chod doongi…
Ali- Kaisi baatein kar rahi hai aap Pooja? Kya thodi si punishment ke dar se aap Army chod degi?
Riya- Pooja is lucky, lekin main to KMA chod bhi nahi sakti…. Mere dad ki wajah se. He is too strict about these things…
Yudi- My dad wants me to leave KMA the day I got here but if MB keeps his punishments like this, then my dad's intensions will be fulfilled about me leaving KMA.
Naina heard their conversation and she realized that she needed to do something to boost these cadets' confidence. Naina was thinking when Aalekh saw her.
Aalekh- Are Naina, tum yahan pe?
Naina- I just heard whatever you said guys, and I know it's not easy to face this situation but it's just for few more days and I know that if anyone could do it, then it's you guys. You can face everything together, isn't it?
Huda- Wo sab to theek hai Naina, lekin this is just nightmare. If you would be our place, then you would have quit too.
Naina- Nahi Huda, main quit karne main yakeen nahi rakhti.
Yudi- so you are saying that you can suffer Major Bhargav's rules…
Naina- Of course I can and you guys are training for months so you can do that too.
Major Bhargav came outside at that time and he had heard when Naina said that she can easily tackle MB's rules.
MB came there and everyone stood in attention.
MB- Well Mrs. Shekhawat, I didn't know that you are interested in military training?
Naina- Excuse me….
MB- Nahi wo aap abhi abhi jo cadets ko bata rahi thi us se mujhe aisa laga… Lekin let me tell you one thing… Military training is not for civilians and you possibly couldn't understand anything about it so why don't you keep your advice to yourself unless you are willing to join our military training.
Huda- Sir, Naina is our friend and she is just talking to us.
MB- I didn't ask you Cadet Huda, so just shut up…
Naina- And what if I can survive your training?
MB- Is that a challenge?
Naina- You can say that… what if I can survive your training for three weeks? Would you change your tactics for the cadets?
MB- Well if you put it that way, then I really want to see how much strength do you have? I bet you couldn't even last for one day…
Naina- Well then let's make a deal. I will be participating every day drills with first year cadets for three weeks and I can complete that successfully, you will give the best report of appraisals to KMA and leave these cadets alone.
MB- Well you should ask Captain Rajveer about your decision first, and then we will talk to Brigadier chandok about this.
He left with a smirk on his face and cadets stood there worried…
Ali- ye aap ne kya kiya Naina, you shouldn't make a deal with Major Bhargav like that. You can't survive his training.
Naina- Don't worry I can do that……
Huda- Yeah right, ye koi business deal karna nahi, ye military training hai…
Naina just smiled and left from there saying that everything will be all right.
Major Bhargav informed Rajveer about Naina's decision and Rajveer was shocked.
Raj- How could you say that Naina? You can't go to the training with these cadets. It's hard and you are not used to it.
Naina- I am going to do it Raj, and you are not going to stop me. In fact you should support me in this…
Raj- Look Naina, I know you are a very independent person and you can take your own decisions. I respect that but in this case, it's Major Bhargav and he hates me. I don't want him to take out his frustration on you. Besides you don't have any military training before so I can't let you do that.
Naina- Just give me one chance to prove that and trust me. We will be going to talk to Brigadier Chandok.
Raj reluctantly went with Naina as he had no other choice. He knew that once Naina makes up her mind about something, she will do it.
Major Bhargav had already discussed that with BC and Major Nair and they both disagree on that idea but Major Bhargav talked to Major Nair and he agreed after that but Brigadier Chandok was against that.
Shalini, Ritu, Suriji were also there. Shalini and Suriji were against that too and Ritu didn't say anything about that topic as she wasn't interested.
BC- This is not possible, Mrs. Shekhawat. You are here as a faculty member's wife and we can't let you participate in our training.
Naina- I understand sir that but I am just saying that I can participate in training as I don't want to become liability to anyone. What if something happens in KMA, then you all will be responsible to protect people who are not trained. And besides, it's not like that I don't know anything about this training.
She handed a file to Brigadier Chandok to read and he was impressed after he read that file.
BC- Well I certainly can say that you are capable to participate in this training and I know this is very unusual of me but I will let you participate in the training except Captain Rajveer's classes or drills.
Naina- Thank you…
After everyone left, BC stopped Rajveer to talk to him in private.
BC- Captain Rajveer, your wife is really courageous person and I think I know the reason why she is doing that?
Rajveer- Sir, I didn't understand….
BC- Actually I heard the conversation between Naina and Major Bhragav in the morning and then he narrated the whole scene to Rajveer.
Rajveer was very surprised when he came to know that Naina had taken this step to stop Major Bhargav's harassing.
BC- I also think that Major Bhargav's training tactics are not appropriate but I can't object to them as he is representative of higher command but I think Naina's deal will either make him understand his mistakes or at least make him stop his inappropriate rules.
Rajveer- Thank you sir, but that depends on Naina's success now, and Major Bhargav is going to make it tough for her.
BC- Naina can handle Major Bhargav's training; after all she is your wife and Captain Naveen's sister so she must have heard about him from both of you.
Raj was shocked when he heard Brigadier Chandok.
BC- I knew when I first met her at the party. Your father had told me everything captain. Don't worry; I am not going to reveal it to anyone. I don't know whether Captain Naveen was traitor or he was innocent but I don't believe that Naina or her family should get punished because of her brother.
Raj- Thank you sir.
He stepped out of the cabin, and he was relaxed to know that BC accepted Naina into his academy also after knowing the fact that Naveen was her brother. But he was also worried at the same time as he didn't know what MB was going to do.
Every cadet was talking about Naina being the part of their training. It was something new for them.
After Raj and Naina reached their room, Raj told Naina about What Brigadier Chandok had talked to him about. Naina was happy to know that BC accepted her and he was also supporting to them to oppose MB in his own way.
Raj warned Naina about some aspects of the training and told her to take care of herself as he won't be able to help her in anyway.
************************************************************ ************
The other morning, Brigadier Chandok was working on some files when someone knocked on the door. He looked up to see an officer standing at his door step.
Officer- May I come in sir?
BC- Welcome to KMA, Captain Gautam Mehra (aka Gunny)
Gunny- Sir, this is my appointment letter. I am posted at KMA as weapons teacher.
BC- I know Captain and I had already set up your room in KMA. It is right next to Captain Shekhawat's room. I will tell orderly to take you there.
Gunny- It's ok sir, I will find it by myself. No need to worry… I will take your leave.
BC- You have a class with first year cadets in three hours so I will come and introduce you to the class.
Gunny- Thank you sir.
************************************************************ ************
Naina had already gone to attend Lolitaji's history class as she started her training from today. Rajveer didn't have any class until that afternoon so he was working on his report when someone knocked on the door.
He went to open the door and he was shocked to see the person who was standing at the door.
Raj- Gunny? Tum yahan?
Gunny- you are looking at me like you had seen the ghost of the Christmas past. Can't I come here?
Raj- No no, please come in…
He came in and they both hugged each other.
Raj- So what brings you here?
Gunny- I am here posted as weapons teacher and rest you know it.
Raj(surprised)- So that's why sir told me that I won't have any problem working with my partner.
Gunny- It's glad that I am back… I am here to be with you to protect triggers and to get proofs of Naveen's innocence.
Raj- I am really glad that they send you for this.
Gunny- So How is Naina? Has she come back from London yet or not?
Raj understood that Gunny was unaware of Naina's arrival at KMA.
Raj(smirk)- well we will talk about her later. You should settle down first.
Gunny- They have given me room just next to you so I will go and unpack and I have a class with first year cadets in three hours so I will see you after the class.
Raj- All right then bye…
