Part Four - Last
Naina's eyes starts brimming with tears as she hears everything from Rajveer. Rajveer went through so much, his pain was more than what she had to face, yet without listening to him, she acted in much a bad way. He has done so much for her and for her, he came back and what did she do? She behaved extremely rude towards him and blamed him for going away from her. And now is the perfect time for her to apologize.
When Rajveer doesn't hear anything in response, he turns to look towards Naina and he gets surprised on finding tears in her eyes. Reaching her, he turns his head from left to right, as a sign of warning her not to cry while he wipes her tears away.
"Naina, please stop crying! Tum janti ho tumhare ye ansu mujhe kamzoor bana dete hain"
says Rajveer softly
This was it for Naina to react and breakdown in his arms. Without a warning, she pulls him towards her as she hides her face in his chest, sobbing.
"I'm so sorry sir. Please mujhe maaf kar dijiye. Aapne hamesha mere liye itna kuch kiya or maine hamesha aapko hi galat samjha. Please forgive me sir"
cries Naina
This also brings tears in Rajveer's eyes. No, he needs to control himself in order to be her support. Wiping his tears away, he pats Naina's hair, as a sign of calming her down.
"Ssshhh Naina! Jo bhi kuch hua, usse bhool jao. Mein hoon na tumhare sath! Aaj se hum ek nayi shuruaat karenge"
Rajveer comforts Naina
This relaxes Naina and a smile stretches on her lips. Slowly, she breaks the hug and wipes her tears away. She locks eyes with Rajveer immediately. How lucky she is feeling at this moment! At this place, she once lost her everything and today, she gained everything back at the same place. No, she doesn't hate this place anymore. In fact, this is her second favourite place. Point 1857 is her most favourite place as after coming back from there, she realised her feelings for Rajveer, maybe not entirely, but she did to some extent!
Smiling, she takes a step closer to Rajveer. This succeeds in skipping Rajveer's heartbeat and his cheeks starts turning bright red out of shyness. With both of her hand's, she cups his face.
"Aaj mein aapse woh kehna chahti hoon Rajveer sir jo aapne Huda ke samne suna or jo sunne aap wapis aaye. Mein wo dobara kahoongi"
says Naina smiling
Her face glows and her eyes shines with so much love for him. Rajveer understands perfectly that she is referring to those three magic words, but something inside him stops him. Before Naina could say anything further, Rajveer puts a hand over her lips.
"I think hamein ab wapis chalna chahiye Naina!"
suggests Rajveer
And without waiting for her response, he moves a little back as he lowers his eyes. Turning his back towards Naina, he makes his way towards the jeep. Whereas for Naina, she does not understand what exactly just happened. He came back for her and to hear those words, and now, when she is about to confess her love, he doesn't let her and instead, he walks away. This skips her heartbeat as anger urges inside her. What does he think of himself? Knowing she has no choice left, she also makes her way towards the jeep, angrily, promising herself that she will not confesses so easily now, even if he begs her. Now, he needs to wait.
Beside the jeep, a smirk is prominent on Rajveer's face as he waits for Naina. That smirk implies that there is something he is planing for Naina, maybe a big surprise!
"I am sorry Naina, but you will have to wait a little!"
mumbles Rajveer, smiling and blushing.
-_-_-_-_-
Their whole drive goes extremely silently. Where on one side a pissed of Naina ignores him by looking out the window, on the other side, Rajveer keeps glancing at Naina every two minutes with a huge smirk on his face.
After few minutes, Rajveer stops the car with a jerk. Naina, who was lost in some thoughts, it brings her back to reality. She looks around to notice her surroundings and gets shocked on being in front of KMA.
Immediately, she looks towards Rajveer in a shock. Why did he bring her back to KMA? This is the same place where she was insulted really badly and the same people declared her brother a traitor and declared Rajveer a killer.
"Aap mujhe yahan kyun le kar aaye hain sir? Aap ko achay se pata hai ke yeh wohi jagah hai jahan sab kuch galat hua tha"
says Naina in a whisper
Her voice reflects her pain. Rajveer understands it perfectly what she must be going through. He gives her a warm smile.
"Please trust me Naina"
he requests her sweetly
His words relaxes Naina. Naina knows for sure that no matter what happens, he will never let anything happen to her. Naina nods her head in affirmation.
With that, they both get out of the car and start making their way towards the entrance. With every step they both take, Naina's heartbeat picks up pace. She immediately grabs Rajveer's hand and clutches it tightly. This makes Rajveer to smile. In order to get her to calm down, he puts a bit of preasure on her arm which tells her not to worry, he is here for her!
Soon, they reach by the entrance. Before walking inside, Rajveer and Naina, they both look towards each other. When they enter inside, they both are welcomed by everyone, which includes Brigadier Chandook, the rest of the five cadets, Suriji, Dr. Shalini and Captain Abhimanyu. They all are standing there with a serious look on their faces, crossing their arms over their chest.
This skips Naina's heartbeat. She looks towards Rajveer with horror but instead, Rajveer gives her a smile which confuses her even more. Knowing that she is a cadet and she is in front of the whole academy, she tries to let go off his hand. But what surprises her even more is that instead of letting her hand go, Rajveer clutches it even tighter.
Soon, they both hear everyone clapping for them with a huge smile on their faces, especially Brigadier Chandook. His smile implies how proud he is feeling at this moment of his Captain Rajveer and Naina!
Walking towards Rajveer and Naina, Brigadier Chandook looks at Rajveer.
"Welcome back son!"
says BC proudly
This brings tears in Captain Rajveer's eyes and without thinking about anything, he takes Brigadier Chandook in his embrace.
"Thank you so much sir!"
says Rajveer
They both break the hug. Tears are visible in both of their eyes. Brigadier Chandook pats Rajveer's back.
"I'm very proud of you Captain! Ek baar phir se tumne ek sachay solider hone ki nishani di hai!"
says BC proudly
Rajveer nods with a bright smile. Now going towards Naina, Brigadier Chandook blesses her by putting a hand on her head. At this gesture, Naina closes her eyes and her eyes fills with tears, tears of joy!
"Mujhe garv hai tum par Naina. jab hum sab ka vishwaas Captain Naveen Singh Ahluwalia ke uppar se uttar gaya tha, tab tumne apna vishwaas qayam rakha! Today, I am proud to call Captain Naveen Singh Ahluwalia my student!"
says BC proudly
Naina opens her eyes and gives Brigadier Chandook a warn smile. Her heart fills with so much happiness. She looks towards Rajveer while Rajveer gives her a big smile. The fact that they are still holding hands, yet no one dares to say a word against that, it shocks Naina. Rajveer finally lets go off her hand as Brigadier Chandook asks Naina to come with him.
Along with Naina, Brigadier Chandook goes by the Wall of Fame while everyone else follows them. Brigadier Chandook hands Naveen's photo to Naina with a proud smile.
"Mein chahta hoon ke tum isse khud apne hathon se lagao"
requests BC
Today, Naina feels as if her mission has been accomplished. With tears of happiness, Naina accepts the offer. Taking the photo, she walks towards the Wall Of Fame, but stops in her tracks. Turning towards Rajveer, she stares at him.
"Mein ye photo Wall of Fame pe Rajveer sir ke sath lagana chahti hoon, jinh ki wajah se aaj ye sab possible hua"
says Naina
Rajveer's eyes fills with tears of joy. Accepting the offer, he walks towards Naina. Together, they put the photo on the Wall of Fame while everyone claps for both of them. Today, both, Naina's and Rajveer's motive have been fulfilled, but it couldn't have been possible without Captain Abhimanyu, so, Rajveer and Naina also asks Abhimanyu to join them while putting the photo. And this is exactly what Naveen wanted. He wanted his two best friends and his sister to help him prove innocent! And it happened! Abhimanyu played a big role in proving Naveen innocent!
After all that, they all decide to leave towards their rooms, but, Brigadier Chandook interrupts. He asks everyone to gather up in the main Assembly Hall. Within minutes, everyone gathers up and they take their respected position.
"I would like to announce something! I'm very proud to announce that Cadet Naina, Cadet Alekh, Cadet Pooja, Cadet Yudi, Cadet Ali and Cadet Huda have been promoted to being the Lieutenant in the Indian Army. Beshak aap logon ki training abhi baaki hai Lekin aapne Captain Rajveer Singh Shekhawat ki help kar ke mera sir garv se uncha kar diya hai, so, for that, Indian Army ne aap sab ke liye ye as a return gift dia hai"
announces Brigadier Chandook.
The assembly hall fills with claps and cheers. Naina looks towards Rajveer and finds him smiling at her. So, this was the reason why no one questioned them when they were both holding hands? This means Captain Rajveer already knew about all this. Since Naina is not his student anymore, they did not break any rules by doing that.
When it is finally everyone's time to leave, the light goes off which causes everyone to halt in their place. Everyone wonders what just happened to the light. Just then, there is a spot light right on Naina. There he is, Captain Rajveer Singh Shekhawat, kneeling down on his knees right in front of Naina with a beautiful ring in his hand.
Seeing this, it causes everyone to gasp with happiness and joy. Everyone holds their breath to hear Rajveer's words.
"Lieutenant Naina AH Singh, kya tum mujhse shaadi karogi?"
proposes Rajveer
This makes Naina to gasp loudly. So this was the reason why he didn't let her confess before? He wanted to give her a surprise, that too a beautiful surprise. Her eyes twinkles with so much love for her Rajveer sir. Holding his breath, Rajveer waits for Naina's answer as he stares at her lovingly. Naina forwards her right hand as her answer as her eyes starts brimming with tears, tears of joy! Taking that as a yes, Rajveer slides the ring on her finger.
Everyone in the hall cheers for them, including Brigadier Chandook followed by tons of claps.
Naina holds Rajveer by his shoulders and gets him to stand up. Immediately, she throws herself in his arms.
"I love you Rajveer!"
announces Naina loudly
Yes, Naina decided that she will not confess so easily, but she couldn't hold herself back. He hugs her back with the same intensity as his eyes brims with tears. He has been waiting for this moment, and finally, it's here! He got his Naina, the love of his life.
"I love you too Naina!"
he confesses back!
They stay like this in each other's arms for a while forgetting that there are many people around them. But who cares? There isn't a single person in this academy who isn't aware of their love.
"Ahammm ahammm"
Someone's clearing of their throat brings back Naina and Rajveer to reality. They immediately break the hug and gets shocked on finding Brigadier Chandook standing in front of them with serious expressions. This brings fear on Naina's and Rajveer's face at the way BC is staring at them. Still gazing at them, Brigadier Chandook takes a step towards them.
He looks directly at Captain Rajveer.
"Captain, I hope tumne pehle koi rules break nahi kiye Lieutenant Singh ke sath"
Says BC in his usual strict tome
This causes both Rajveer's and Naina's heart to skip a beat as they lower their eyes.
"No...not at all sir"
stammers Rajveer
This makes Brigadier Chandook to laugh out loud as both Rajveer and Naina fell in his trap. This surprises both of them and both Rajveer and Naina look at BC shocked as to what made him laugh so hard.
"I'm just joking! Congratulations to both of you and for your life ahead!"
wishes Brigadier Chandook
Rajveer and Naina smile widely at this.
"Thank you sir!"
says both at the same time!
One by one, everyone wishes both of them for their happy life ahead. Now, everyone, except Rajveer and Naina, stands in a line horizontally.
"Congratulations RAINA!"
they all yell out of excitement
Right at this, flowers are showered on Rajveer and Naina as balloons pops! Rajveer and Naina, they both look towards each other and they lock eyes immediately. There is a bright smile on both of their faces as their face glows. This is the best day of their life. Today, they both have a different meaning of their life. Right now. They both became one, forever! Smiling, both Rajveer and Naina pull each other for a hug as they dream about their beautiful life ahead!
