Part 4 (I think, can't remember what number part this is!)
Yes, I know that every time I promise I'll update fast and every time I break that promise. Let me know how you think it's going and if you're enjoying it, next part should be out within a week!

Two days later Naina was surprised to see Captain Rajveer leaving KMA in his dress uniform.
"Sir?" she called out, and he turned around in surprise. "Sir aap subeh subeh kaha ja rahi ho?"
Raj just smiled at her sadly, "I'll be back soon Cadet Singh."
And then turned around and left.
"Bata nahi, Rajveer Sir Kaha Jara hi ho?" She asked Pooja as the two headed to the mess for breakfast.
Pooja just shrugged. "Shyat ooska outgoing to zaruri tha"
Naina smiled at her friend's funny way of putting it, maybe Pooja was right, Captain Rajveer must have had some important work.

It was mid morning by the time Raj arrived at Nainital. The entire drive there he had been practicing what he would say.
There was only one way that he could think of to win back Naina's trust and that was to prove to her how truly sorry he was about her brother's death and that he was willing to be punished for it, in whatever way.
And so he was going…to tell her parents the truth.
He knew they would never forgive him, and he knew that if he did this he would never have a chance at any relationship with Naina.
But what chance did he have anyway if she couldn't trust him or have faith in him?
He was going to sacrifice his reputation and his happiness in order to win back her friendship, simply because he couldn't live if she wasn't in his life. And if the only way to have her stay in his life was as a friend then he would have to deal with that. Even if he had to deal with the ache in his heart every single day, even if he could never love anybody except her.
Gathering his courage, Raj knocked on the door of the Ahluwalia house.
"Arre, aap?" Naina's father greeted him cheerfully when he opened the door "Ander aiye, beta".
"Yes, sir."
And Raj went inside to complete his mission.

Two hours later after telling them everything he knew about Navin's death and about his role in it, a deathly silence filled the house.
"Aap mere beta to mardala", Naina's mother suddenly said. "Vo begunah tha aur aap oosko mardala."
Raj's heart was breaking as he heard the pain and the tears in her voice, it was exactly the same sound as when he had told Naina the truth.
Finally Naina's father spoke. "I want to thank you for telling us the truth."
Raj was shocked, could Naina's father actually forgive him?
The next words jolted him out of his dream.
"But you betrayed our son and we can never forgive you for that, now get out of our house."
So that was it, he had completed his duty, but he would never be forgiven by them. He had just sacrificed any chance he would have had of them accepting him in Naina's life.
Tears came to Raj's eyes but he hid them well, just as he'd learned to do.
"I'm sorry sir, ma'am, I'll leave now."
The door slammed shut behind him.
