she sat uprigth on her bed..eyes wide...
it seemed as if suddenly a bolt had struck her....
and then she repeated the words softly again...
"aaj mujhe jana hai....."

"sir??..."

"tere rajveer sir yeh kyun bhool jaate hain...ya phir yeh kahun...ki TU yeh kyun bhool jati hai ki tu apne doston ko bhi chod jaa rahi hai!!"
naina suddenly had a hollow feeling...
"oops!!....huda...pooja..aalekh ali..yudi...i m sorry!!!"
"eh ab jaane de...ab to thodi der theek se kha le tu...fir apun tereko bahar milenge hi..."
the friends took their time to chat and have their breakfast until naina looked at her watch...

**************************************
"oh!...i m sorry sir!!..."
"very well ..aiye..."

"naina...why have u put clothes inside???..."
"clothes nahi sir...one extra jacket..and a pair of t shirts...i MAY need them!!"
"naina??..."

"naina..u still are immature..apne decisions soch samajh ke lena..be calm..u need to concentrate..."

"tell me about each little possibility..evrythng...and.."
"sir..i will be fine..mein ek officer na sahi...ek cadet to hun.."i still am a soldier..."
"naina..i dint mean..."
"take care sir..."
she walked out of the room..
**************************
They were all walking with her. In no time, all of them would be busy with their assignments. But they had their 15minutes to say a short farewell to heir friend.
"Naina, khayal rakhiyo apna!", Huda could no longer sustain his anxiety.
"Signal katna mat daiyyo humse, humare incoming tera wait karenge!"
"Haan Pooja….Huda, tum dono bekar main fikar kar rahe ho!"
"Nahin, yeh theek keh rahin hai, aap ko bohot alert rehna padega…."
Naina nodded.
Aalekh had a better idea.
"Yeh log teri aur Rajveer sir ki test le rahe hain, Tumhara kaam hum sab se zyaada mushkil hai….kuch to jhol hai!"
"Aisa kuch nahin hai, Aalekh. Hota to Rajveer sir mujhe zaroor batate!"
Aalekh nodded unconvinced.
They spotted Rajveer Sir walking towards them. Naina straightened up. She was feeling a bit embarrassed about being so touchy on his concerns.
"So, Cadet Singh, ready?"
"Yes sir!", Naina didn't look at him. He sensed this. He too was very worried, not that he doubted her capabilities, but he had never left her side….had been with her always….taken the blows targeted to her on his chest…..
Cadets knew it was time for them to leave.
"Chal Naina, apun sab chalte hain….", and they walked off giving her a hug each, as Naina nodded in agreement.
Naina held an envelope of guidelines she was given. She was to go to the bus station and take bus no.55, to she had to find out where. Major Rajveer had decieded to drive her to the stop. And she was in no mood to argue.
The jeep reached the station, the passengers maintained the silence. They both were facing a turmoil….fighting with an unknown feel…..
"Naina….", he called softly, as Naina was about to mount the bus.
"Sir?"
'Knock-knock'
He opened the door.
"Aap?"
She smiled, "Bade khush lag rahe ho?"

"W o h……uh….apna khayal rakhna!"
"Aap bhi sir!", he nodded, and she went to her seat.
They were staring at each other in silence, finding no words to express what went on in them…..as the busy started….and finally, till both were out of sight.

Did it really happen yesterday……..What ever happened…….was it all a beautiful dream……or it did happen……..did she dance with a sheet around her…….she did that….once before……when…..when….Shantanu……no…..
Kishore Kumar…..that song…..his stare…..it all seemed so real….her heart was already beating faster than the bus's speed………
…..it cant be like that…..can it?……I mean Rajveer Sir could…..no….he'd never……..but his eyes………had spoken volumes………..was he there………no…..he cannot…..
…………but why did she blush, at the thought of it………….why did she allow such a dream to linger in her mind so long…………………..
**** *** * *** **** **** ***** *** ***** ***** **** ** *** *** *** **** ****
He threw himself on his couch in fatigue……….he hadn't slept all night yesterday………
His lips curled in a smile…..
How could he?
After what he saw…..he walked to the connecting door….and peeped as he did yesterday……smiling………….
"Phir Wohi, Raat hai….
Phir wohi raat hai kwaab ki….."
What was it? KK or what he saw…..he had never seen anything like that before….he had never seen her express herself like that…..alone……….in her room…….in moonlight……….with a sheet…..(he touched that sheet softly)………..around her………
What was he thinking………..she was Naina……..but she was different yesterday……..he never realized he was thinking about his student….instead…..about a girl…..beautiful…..innocent….sharp….and……….naughty…..Naina?…..his fiery…..brave….strong…..angry….Naina? (he never realized, when he got accustomed to think of her as 'his Naina')
He pulled himself out……of the thought……………..
As………."Aap bhi sir!", he nodded, and she went to her seat.
They were staring at each other in silence, finding no words to express what went on in them…..as the busy started….and finally, till both were out of sight.
