[sujalkashish]

OS : Rajveer-Naina Weep no more my lady

By the time Rajveer focuses back on Naina, she is already gone. This skips Rajveer's heartbeat. This eagerness to meet her, will it ever come to an end? Reaching back to KMA gave him hope that finally he would be able to meet her; talk to her but when has god been so easy on him? Before he could walk to her and if not much than address her, Brigadier Chandok chose to become the first obstacle, though unintentionally.

Obstacle he indeed was at that time but that didn't get Captain Rajveer Singh Shekhawat disappointed. As much as he was an obstacle between Rajveer and Naina, he was also a treat to the eyes of Captain Rajveer Singh Shekhawat. During the entire brief conversation between Captain Rajveer and Brigadier Chandok, Rajveer's mind kept dragging towards Naina.

Why did she go away? Why didn't she meet him? Is she not eager to meet him? The anxiety bubbled all the more as these questions clouded his mind.

In her room - Naina has no intention to sleep. But what is the big deal in acting to be asleep if this ensures to be a good reason to escape? Escape from everyone and everything. She doesn't want Pooja to enter their room anytime soon. She knows what would follow the moment she does enter the room! She doesn't want to talk about 'him'!

Oh yes! She can weep! Weep night over night without fail - thinking about him, but please she doesn't want to talk about him to anyone. She knows, she knows it well enough that Pooja who acts to be asleep while Naina weeps throughout the night, stays awake with her. No, it is not because the sound of Naina's weeping doesn't let Pooja sleep, it is rather the fact that her best friend is hurt; her best friend is feeling lonely as the one who completes her is no more - not only in the academy, but may be.... just may be.... not even in the world!

How hard might it be to believe these words, but alas! Pooja couldn't refrain herself from accepting the truth. She of course was not delighted by the fact but she was mature enough to understand that life goes on.... one has to continue living even if the people who were leading the life with you earlier ceases to live and walk with you through the further journey of your life. This is called maturity!

But isn't it strange though easy it is to say - 'grow up!' 'act like a mature person!' But when it becomes the need of the hour to get matured, sometimes we still fail in the process of getting matured. May be, we just don't want to get matured! May be we enjoy the pain of being immature more over relishing the good taste of being mature.

"Kisko saza dene ka irrada hai?",

asks Pooja, as soon as she pushes the door open of their room.

Naina surely felt that she is dead, for that brief moment. Damn this girl!

Still resting her palm on her throbbing heart, trying to calm herself down; with her face still turned away, she says,

"Mere sir mein bohot tez dard ho raha hai Pooja. Aur mujhe kuch samajh nahi aa raha ke tu kya keh rahi hai.",

she holds her breath, silently praying for Pooja to end this topic here itself.

Pushing the door close, never taking away her eyes off Naina; raising her voice - the voice transmitting the waves of her irritation, Pooja says or rather scolds Naina,

"Haan dard to hoga hi, itne saarey aansuon ke SMS jo bheje hain, balance to khatam hona hi tha."

Her words irk Naina, though she very well understands the concern hidden under the words that looks like dipped in red chilli ketchup.

Naina doesn't reply but Pooja's words pinch her, as a result of which her eyes shed tears with more fervour than earlier. How difficult it is being to hold herself, only Naina knows.

It is not that Pooja is being cold and harsh on Naina. It is rather her concern for Naina and her want to see this Naina converting back into her old best friend Naina that are doing the talking.

As much as it hurts Naina; Naina's condition hurts Pooja too. And hence after uttering the words which she knows must have hurt Naina, Pooja softens her eyes on Naina. Why does she have to punish herself unnecessarily? - wonders Pooja.

She walks to Naina, concerned. Sitting next to her, Pooja rotates her hand on Naina's head and lovingly asks her,

"Naina ja! Please ja aur unse baat kar."

Naina converts her right hand into fist as the mere thought of approaching him makes Naina to shiver. It surely feels like eternity that she approached Rajveer. She had already given up the aspect of approaching him ever again. That fateful accident changed Naina's perspective of perceiving life, all over again. Naina wipes her tears but doesn't reply. Her face stiff - exhibiting her disapproval.

"Kuch kadmon ki duri baki hai Naina. Tu kyun unhe aur apne aap ko saza de rahi hai?",

questions Pooja, although frustrated, yet keeping her emotions under control. She knows she has to be patient with Naina.

Sniffing, in a broken voice, Naina says,

"Main kisi ko saza nahi de rahi."

"Tu de rahi hai saza Naina. Sirf unhe hi nahi khud ko bhi.",

Pooja raises her voice, as her temper rises too - frustration is the reason. Frustrated herself, Naina turns her face to the opposite side.

"Jab wo nahi the tab tu routi thi wo baat samjhi ja sakti hai. Par ab jab wo yahin hain to ye rona kaisa Naina? Ye duri kaisi? Ye khud ko saza dena kyun?",

asks Pooja, her voice still raised; her brows knitted out of confusion.

"Wo mujhse aur main unse durr rahein to hi acha hai.",

says Naina, her tone serious, never blinking her eyes, drowned into the pool of innumerous thoughts.

"Aur ye taye karne wali tu kon hoti hai?",

asks Pooja, scolding Naina.

Naina turns to look towards Pooja. They stare each other, both quiet for few moments.

"Problem kya hai? Baat kyun nahi karna chahti tu?",

asks Pooja.

"Mujhe... mujhe na jane kyun aisa lagta hai ke inn sub ki wajah main hun. Aisa lagta hai ke main unke saath rahi to unhe siwaye dukh ke kuch nahi milega.",

Naina shares her fear with Pooja.

"Oye tu pagal ho gayi hai kya?",

Pooja slaps Naina's forehead lightly, pushing it a little to shake her and hence pull her out of the unnecessary and ridiculous thought.

"Mujhe... mujhe pata hai Pooja ke agar maine unse baat ki to humari firse dosti hogi aur main firse liberty lungi unse jab marzi; jo marzi share karne ki.",

says Naina, fresh lump forming in her throat.

Pooja couldn't believe what she heard. She finds Naina being ridiculous.

"Oye Sir ke saath jo kuch bhi hua uss mein tu beech mein kahan se aa gayi?",

asks Pooja, annoyed.

Naina looks towards Pooja fully prepared to give her the reason; the explanation.

"Agar mere liye Red Box itna important nahi hota to kya wo inn sub mamlo mein funste Pooja? ",

asks Naina, deeply hurt afresh, no not because of her own stupidity.

She weeps, helplessly,

"Naina maana ke Red Box tere liye 'bhi' zaroori tha pana, par Captain Rajveer ke liye bhi to important tha?",

Pooja tries to put brain into Naina.

"Wo tujhse pehle se Naveen bhaiya ke case se deal kar rahe the tu ye baat kaise bhool sakti hai?",

asks Pooja, irritated.

Naina looks away, puzzled.

"Tum dono apni apni tarah se Naveen Bhaiya ko begunah prove karne ki koshish kar rahe the Naina. Isliye na tu galat hai aur na hi wo.",

Pooja desperately tries to make Naina understand this.

"Bohot dard diya na maine unhe?",

asks Naina, her voice tells Pooja how much hurt she is.

"Nahi Naina....!",

breaths Pooja.

"Teri aankhein teri zuban ka saath nahi de rahe Pooja. Jhoot mat bol. ",

scolds Naina.

Pooja rolls her eyes understanding that it is futile to explain her anything.

Sighing, she says,

" Tu mere bus mein nahi hai ab.",

rolling her eyes again she stands up to leave.

"Hmm... main apne bus mein hi nahi hun ab Pooja.",

mummers Naina loud enough for Pooja to hear her and turns to look towards her.

Pooja thinks of replying but soon dismisses the thought shaking her head as if finding Naina hopeless.

Pooja without saying anything further turns and walks to the door. Something comes into her mind that she turns to face Naina again and says in desperation,

"Apne apko bus mein karne ke liye tujhe kisi ne kaha bhi nahi hai Naina. "

Naina looks towards Pooja confused.

Pooja understanding her confusion, clarifies by adding,

"Kyunki agar 'apne aap ko apne bus mein' karne se tera matlab hai ke tu firse wohi Naina banna chahti hai jo Rajveer Sir ke jaane ke baad tu bann gayi thi....",

Pooja stands straight confident and says,

"To sorry Naina main tujhe firse wo Naina banne nahi dungi. Tujhe badalna hoga. Main Rajveer Sir ke jane ke baad wali Naina ko aur nahi jhel sakti."

"Aur inn kuch palon mein jabse Rajveer Sir wapas academy aye hain to mujhe firse muddaton baad meri purani Naina ki jhalak mili hai!",

says Pooja, desperately.

Naina knits her brows as Pooja's words touch her heart.

"Main usey firse khone nahi dungi Naina.",

says Pooja, sternly.

Naina's throat chokes as her heart fills with so many emotions. Her weeping turns frantic.

But she knows, she cannot put down her guards. Hence, she replies with determination,

"Maine faisla le liya hai!"

And her tone tells Pooja that she indeed has taken a decision - a wrong decision.

Pooja stares Naina whose back is turned towards her. She doesn't say anything out of frustration and nods her head vigorously, a gesture of pouring out her frustration.

"Maine bhi!",

states Pooja, clearly, glaring Naina.

Naina turns to look towards Pooja, her rate of heartbeat increased after getting such unexpected answer from her.

Glaring her one last time, Pooja leaves.

There! She has done it again. She has successfully hurt one of her dear friends again!

So what exactly were you expecting Naina, that your best friend Pooja would understand you and your non-sensical thoughts?

Pooja storms through the corridor. In her anger she doesn't even care to notice Huda, Yudi and Alekh are standing at a corner and talking.

As Pooja passes by them, they all turn towards Pooja, shocked on witnessing Pooja's off mood.

Huda and Alekh look towards each other in horror. Ali and Yudi look towards each other in horror, as well.

"Zaroor Naina ke saath koi lafda hua hoga.",

suggests Alekh, tensed.

"Chaliye chal kar dekhte hain.",

says Ali, tensed too.

Reaching Pooja at the mess they take their seats, sitting next to Pooja.

"Kya hua Poojaji?",

asks Ali, concerned.

Pooja whose head is down - resting on her crossed arms on the table, looks up towardd Ali on hearing his voice.

They all get tensed on discovering her weeping but the one who gets tensed the most is - Ali.

With his eyes wide open, Ali - in a voice filled with eagerness and tension asks,

"Kya... kya hua Poojaji?"

"Ali kya main Naina ki dushman hun?",

asks Pooja, in between her hiccups.

That gets all shocked.

"Hua kya Punjaban? Tu aisa kyun keh rahi hai?",

asks Huda, desperately.

Alekh doesn't say anything out of restlessness, knowing that if he asks anything that would just mean delay in Pooja's reply.

"Huda tu hi bata kya galat kiya maine agar maine Naina se kaha ke wo jaye aur Captain Rajveer se baat kare?",

asks Pooja, looking towards Huda, her brows knit together.

Her words skip Huda's heartbeat. Sitting in front of her - Huda's creased brows relaxes on hearing her - a gesture that Yudi, Ali and Alekh read well enough, and understand how unintentionally has Pooja hurt Huda's feelings.

Shocked Huda, whose voice turns low out of awkwardness asks,

"Kya baat karni hai Naina ko Captain se Punjaban?"

Alekh, Ali, Yudi look towards Huda, understanding his condition. Whereas Pooja, too occupied in thinking about Naina doesn't realize what she just said and to whom. And in her state of confusion, frustration - say whatever, she continues hurting Huda's feelings by her words - unintentionally.

"Yahi kaha na sirf maine ke wo Sir ke saath apna connection firse jode?",

shouts a frustrated Pooja.

All of them go quiet, understanding the seriousness of matter. Huda although starts thinking in different tangent - hurt, but nevertheless he focuses back on the matter in hand and asks,

"To Phoolan ne kya kaha? Kya wo baat karegi Captain Rajveer se? ",

holding his breath, his eyes glued on Pooja, not wanting to miss her reaction by any means Pooja out of anger, answers in one word yet emphasizing on it properly to make herself clear,

"Nahi!"

Where on one hand Ali, Alekh and Yudi get disappointed on hearing Pooja; there on the other hand Huda secretly sighs in relief. He quickly looks towards his friends through the corner of his eyes in order to make sure that none caught him smiling.

This gets Alekh angry and he curses under his breath,

"Iss Naina ko to apun..."

Training off out of anger, he looks towards Pooja and asks her, his angry tone intact,

"Kahan hai wo?"

"Kaun?",

asks Pooja, confused.

"Dekh dimag ki dahi mat kar! Teri dost!",

scolds Alekh, glaring Pooja.

This shocks Pooja and the three boys too. They stare Alekh out of shock.

"Meri? Oye Qaidi kya wo teri dost nahi?",

scolds Pooja..

"Apun ki to ab wo kuch bhi nahi hai!",

curses Alekh, out of anger.

This comes as a shock for all of them.

"Oye Qaidi ye kaisi baat kar raha hai yaar tu?",

asks Huda, shocked.

All others too stare Alekh out of shock.

"Alekh dekho abhi tumhara dimag garam hai. Ye lo paani piyo and just relax.",

says Yudi, forwarding a glass of water in front of Alekh.

"Haan hai dimag garam apun ka. Kyunki wo yedi samjhti nahi hai kuch - kya sahi hai; kya galat, kuch nahi!",

shouts an angry Alekh, looking towards Yudi.

Huda intervenes at this,

"Oye Qaidi sunn..."

Huda reaches in front of Alekh in order to make him understand,

"Dekh yaar Phoolan ne jo faisla liya hai kuch soch samjh kar hi liya hoga na?"

"Huda yedi ho gayi hai wo!",

states Alekh; looking straight into Huda's eyes.

"Sochne samjhne ki kshamta kho baithi hai.",

shouts Alekh.

"Dekh yaar Qaidi Captain Rajveer ke jane ke baad jaise humari zindagi mein ek badlaw aya tha ussi tarah unke wapas ane ke baad bhi ab ek nayi shuruat hui hau humari zindagi ki bhi, Captain Rajveer ki iss nayi zindagi ke saath.",

Huda tries to explain Alekh.

All stare Huda, knitting their brows, trying to understand his point.

"Jis tarah humein iss baat ki aazadi hai ke hum Captain Rajveer ko ek baar fir apni zindagi mein wapas lana chahte hain; ussi tarah Naina ko bhi iss baat ki aazadi hai ke wo unki maujudgi apni zindagi mein firse nahi chahti!",

says Huda, lowering his eyes as he reaches the last line of the whole thing.

His words skip the heartbeats of his friends - did he really say that? How could he even think that?

Alekh's anger rises with each passing moment.

"Apun sub ka ek dusre ki zindagi mein rehna jitna ahmiyat rakhta hai na Huda, utni hi ahmiyat Captain Rajveer ka apun ki zindagi mein rehne ka hai.",

states Alekh clearly, glaring Huda .

Yudi, Ali and Pooja nod their heads in agreement.

"Par haan ye baat bolkar tu ne apni ahmiyat zaroor kam kar di hai apun ki zindagi mein.",

says Alekh, spitting venom through his each word and gets up to leave.

"Maine galat kya kaha Qaidi?",

asks Huda, getting up as well.

Pooja gets nervous on witnessing Alekh's glare. She regrets saying whatever she said that spaeked this argument.

"Alekh, please rehne do.",

says a nervous Yudi, wanting the argument to come to an end.

"Huda bhai aap bhi rehne dijiye na.",

Ali tries to convince Huda.

"Tu mujhe kyun samjha raha hai yaar Usool?",

asks Huda, looking towards Ali, knitting his brows.

Alekh glares Huda and shakes his head in slow succession. Turning towards Pooja he asks,

"Naina apne kamre mein hai?"

Nervous Pooja nods her head.

●●●●●

At the infirmary Captain Rajveer sitting in front of Dr. Shalini, resting his head against the chair, looking somewhere at the ceiling with his elbows rested on the handles of the chair and fingers joining each other, such that forming a cave with his hands, says ever so calmly,

"Wo mujhse shayad baat nahi karna chahti."

Dr. Shalini inclined towards him, sitting at her desk, resting her arms on the table, entwining her fingers, her head tilted towards her left, her eyes reading Captain Rajveer's each gesture.

"Aur apne ye faisla kiya uski marzi ke barey mein bina usse baat kiye?",

asks Dr. Shalini, her tone bearing a tinge of taunt - healthy.

Captain Rajveer, with his head a little bowed as if thinking deep, he only raises his eyes to look towards Dr. Shalini.

"Main usse achi tarah janta hun Dr. Shalini.",

says Captain Rajveer, resting his right hand on the table and with the lift holding the handle of his seat, looking straight towards her.

Dr. Shalini smiles and shakes her head in slow succession. Her smile tells Captain Rajveer that it is a taunt coated with a smile. That certainly hurts Captain Rajveer. First Dr. Shalini out of all is smiling at him sarcastically and for topping it is that she thinks that he doesn't know Naina yet!!!! LIke seriously? Captain Rajveer Singh Shekhawat doesn't know his Cadet Naina Singh Ahluwalia? - is it even possible?

"Main usse pehchanu-napehchanu par mujhe aisa lagta hai aap zarur mujhe bhool gayi hain!",

states a hurt Captain Rajveer.

This makes Dr. Shalini to laugh.

"Do you even know how adorable you are Captain?",

asks Dr. Shalini, lovingly.

Although her words make Captain Rajveer to blush and melts his heart but he quickly plasters his now fake anger on his face.

But Dr. Shalini being Dr. Shalini, says,

"Now stop being fake in front of me. Ye nakli gussa hataiye apne chehre se."

That makes Captain Rajveer to laugh and blush.

Dr. Shalini smiles too.

"Captain bhale hi aap Cadet Naina Singh Ahluwalia ko achi tarah pehchante honge magar Naina ko...",

she shakes her index finger, smiling a little she says,

"Nahi!"

That skips Rajveer's heartbeat and his cheeks warm up.

"Bataiye Captain kya maine kuch galat kaha?",

asks Dr. Shalini, smiling politely.

Captain Rajveer's look tells Dr. Shalini how awkward is he feeling and is in all blushed up state. Blushing but not smiling. He stares her helplessly.

"Par wo mujhse baat kyun nahi kar rahi?",

asks Rajveer, helplessly.

"Kya usne aisa kaha apse Captain? ",

asks Dr. Shalini, smiling politely.

Rajveer looks towards her sheepishly.

Smiling, Dr. Shalini asks,

"Apke jaane se pehle kya aap dono mein koi mann-mutav tha?"

Captain Rajveer whilst staring her seriously shakes his head in slow motion.

"Fir? Wo kyun apse baat nahi karna chahegi Captain?",

asks Dr. Shalini, wanting him to think.

"Wo hi to samajh nahi aa raha mujhe Dr. Shalini.",

says Captain Rajveer, helplessly.

"To samajhne ki koshish kariye Captain! Think...",

smiles Dr. Shalini.

Captain Rajveer looks towards Dr. Shalini, cluelessly.

Smiling, she says,

"I must say Captain, aap Captain Rajveer hi theek hain.",

she rolls her eyes.

Unable to comprehend with her words, Captain Rajveer asks,

"Matlab? Main Captain Rajveer hi to hun!",

he knits his brows, eager to understand her words.

Dr. Shalini nods her head and says,

"Wohi to main nahi chahti."

"Kya? Ke main Captain Rajveer hun?",

asks Captain Rajveer confused and shocked.

Dr. Shalini slaps her forehead, and curses,

"Oh god! Kya karun main inka?"

Captain Rajveer knits his brows all the more; wrinkles his nose, trying to understand when Dr. Shalini hasn't said yet.

Taking a deep breath, Dr. Shalini says,

"Captain if I am not wrong then she must be crying at this moment. Forget about crying, she must be weeping by now."

This skips Rajveer's heartbeat. He cannot even imagine seeing her weeping. The thought deteriorates his mental peace all the more.

"Main kya karun Dr. Shalini?",

asks Captain Rajveer, helplessly.

"Jaiye aur usse baat kijiye.",

smiles Dr. Shalini.

"Par main usse bolunga kya?",

asks Rajveer, seeking for Dr. Shalini's help.

Dr. Shalini rotates her eyes to her left, wondering. Meanwhile Captain Rajveer stares her helplessly, desperate to get a real quick suggestion so that he can put it into implementation more quickly.

Looking back towards him, raising both her eyebrows, as if being skeptical about her idea,

"May be you should start from where you left?"

And as soon as she says that Rajveer's cheeks turn warm as that reminds him of the last hug they shared.

*Flashback*

Ending the group hug, Captain Rajveer whilst bringing out his pistol commands them,

"Alright, now help me get out of this place.",

his eyes scanning the place, checking for the goons.

Together they walk forth. Rajveer's cadets covering him up. Naina stays besides Rajveer, not wanting to miss being at his side for the last few minutes.

They all run and scatter around, firing, protecting Rajveer. Rajveer, leading the group, fires too, protecting not only himself but his cadets too.

Rajveer runs forth, a little away from his cadets, unintentionally. Naina who had been trying to get a little time alone with Rajveer, runs after him, tensed about his well being. Tensed, what will happen thereafter. Tensed, where will he go now. Tensed, will he be able to escape the men who are after him. Tensed, even if he escapes them, will he be left free.

"Sir... Sir...",

she cries, calling him desperately.

On hearing her voice, Rajveer stops abruptly and turns to look towards her. By then Naina reaches Rajveer, her eyes moist out of fear, helplessness, anticipation, out of feeling of being clueless about what is going to happen next with him!

"Sir lekin aap jayenge kahan?",

asks Naina, still in the same state. Looking straight into his eyes, desperate to get a hint to know what is going on in his mind. Her heartbeat not under her control anymore. Her eyes welling up all the more.

As much as she is trying to read his eyes; she is desperate for him to read her eyes too!! But she knows in the given scenario he might miss acknowledging what her eyes are shouting to him. Only if she shows enough courage to word her thoughts, then she might be able to change what apparently seems to be written in their destiny. But would she dare? Of course not! How can she put him in dilemma, especially when she knows he is already occupied with so many tensions to deal with. No, she would never want to become a burden for him, even if it is for a minute moment. But hey, why would she be a burden on him? She would rather turn as an asset for him. Wouldn't he understand this much?

But she has no time to ponder into her thoughts as for now. She is desperate to get an answer right now.

On the other hand, Rajveer knows it is not safe to waste this precious moment to escape, but as much as he wants to run away and save himself, he is well aware of the fact too that once he leaves, he might not be able to see her again. And hence he doesn't want to keep her from knowing anything she wants to know about him. Afterall this might be the last time she is coming up to him with her queries and he clarifying them for her!

"Naina maine apna pura career intelligence mein nikala hai, wo log mujh tak nahi pohonch payenge.",

Rajveer tells her, looking straight into her eyes. The speed of his uttering of each word describes his hurry well enough.

He continues without blinking or looking away from her even for once,

"Haan lekin agar main apne maksad mein kamiyab nahi raha, to mujhse wada karo..."

"Ki meri jung tum larhogi!",

by the time he is about to complete his line, he out of immense trust and confidence in her, holds her tight by her upper arms. The tightening of his hold doesn't affect her even a wee bit, she doesn't even care to give heed to the pain she is feeling in her upper arms. The pain of his drifting away from herself, is way more, is way more difficult to endure.

She keeps staring him, hearing his each word. Her mind clouded with the realization that he is about to leave her, for how long she knows not. And this faith and trust he is putting on her, she... will she be able to stand upto his expectations? How would she when her mentor would not be there to guide her to lead the right path? Her life would surely go haywire. How can he sound so ridiculous? How can he think that she can even imagine leading a life without his existence in it?

He continues, leaving her, his head slightly turned towards his left, his eyes focusing somewhere on the ground out of desperation. His rate of heartbeat increasing out of anger and frustration as he keeps uttering each word. His speed of uttering each word mirroring his rate of heartbeat.

"Jo kuch bhi unhone mujhse cheena hai - mera career; mera dost; mera p....",

and in his hurry, in his desperation to pour his frustation in front of Naina, Naina - who is the only one in front of whom he can put his real feeling that he is going through right now without any hesitation; Naina - who he knows would understand him the best; Naina - the first name that comes in his mind after Naveen; Naina - the name; the person without whom Rajveer's life is incomplete; Rajveer is incomplete; Naina - who might give him immense pain and hatred but she would remain the person in his life he would care for immensely. He doesn't realize what is he blabbering and as soon as he does, his heart skips a beat; his expression changes into horror as he stares her, wondering did she hear him? Did she understand? Would she care to forget and let it go? Or.... Would she care to understand and consider his unsaid words? The latter one is just a hope! But when has his hope turned into reality? When?

When?

May be today!

Naina who has never understood Rajveer's unsaid feelings. And even if she did brush by his feelings, she cared less to read more into it. Naina who never realized her own feelings for Rajveer, thanks to her so called mission, will she care to read his eyes aptly for once today, even if it's too late for doing so? Will she care to brush away her all other priorities for once and consider him as her top most priority for once? Understand him for once?

Will she care to realize that what she felt for him at POINT 1857, she wouldn't have felt the same had she shared the journey to the place with - Brigadier Chandok or Captain Chauhan or may be just may be.... Major Nair or the Vice Principal of Major Nair - Major Bhargava!!! It was all because of him that she could enjoy those fluttery feelings at that place.

Naina doesn't fail to notice the sudden change in his expression on realizing the blooper he committed. She notices the gradual change in the colour of his cheeks as the realization sinks into him all the more. His eyes which were moments ago filled with uncertainity of future; got filled with horror on realizing the blooper made; and within moments they filled with expectation and helplessness. Expectation that she would understand his unuttered words. Expectation that during these moments, which apparently are the last moments they are going to share, she wouldn't break his heart by saying a NO to his unsaid proposal.

His heart stops beating altogether for those few moments. The way Naina stares him, makes him to realize that she too is feeling as vulnerable and uncertain as he is feeling right now. To make it easy for her, he let go of his expectation for an answer and turns to leave again. Inside he craves to hug her. Hug her tight to make her know for once how much love is he holding in his heart for her. Hug her to cry his heart out just like the last time they cried together, hugging each other, thinking about Naveen. Cry with her to make her realize how this hug is no different from the hug they shared in his room. To make her realize that it is her who took this much time to realize what had already developed between them! To make her realize how possessively was he hugging her that day!

As for Naina, her heart skips a beat on understanding his unsaid words perfectly! Today, finally she shows enough courage to indicate him with her expression that she does understand what he hasn't said! And why won't she? Didn't she understand something that day when he saw her in the red saree? She understood! She did understand! In fact she waited for him to finally put his feelings into words, but alas! That never happened! Didn't she visualize herself and him as a couple too when he mentioned about couples at Point 1857? She visualized! She did visualized! Or else why would she blush? Why would she cascade down her eyes on hearing his words? Why would she look towards him with her eyes that indicated how much she is enjoying his presence beside her. She keeps staring him, holding her breath, silently pushing herself to finally let go of her barriers that she has put for herself.

But for Rajveer, keeping all his desires at bay, giving Naina a last longing look, with a heavy heart turns to leave. But to his utter surprise he gets stopped! The hand that adornes around his wrist, he knows the feeling of it. He is familiar with that touch. The heat of the skin, he is not unfamiliar with it. The hand that arrests him before he could get arrested by the law, is the hand he always wanted to hold, hold forever. But alas! may be destiny had other plans for him, and hence he is in such a circumstance where he has no other option but to let go of her for her own good and for his welfare as well. The fingers instead of entwining themselves with his fingers, are snaked around his wrist - this fact pierces Rajveer's heart. The hand which should have been soft on his hand, is holding him tight, desperate to hold him back to herself. How he wants to change the fact, but alas! that seems impossible at the moment.

But what does seem possible is converting the desperation of theirs into reality!! Desperation to hug each other! Desperation to feel each other differently, unlike other times, for the first time!

The look that he gives to her, that explains everything to her, his feelings for her!

Rajveer turns to look towards Naina immediately, to know what else she wants to say. But somehow he knows; he understands what is about to follow! Having succeeded in reading her eyes, how could he not see this coming? It is just that like always, this time too he doesn't want to force her. He wants her to take the first step, he needs to have her consentment. That has always been his priority; it is still the same. And hence he waits, his heart beating frantically inside his chest. His eyes staring Naina with expectation and longing....

Naina's situation is no better, hence without waiting any longer, desperately wanting to feel him, especially after having realized her feelings for him. The adrenaline rush she could feel inside her right now, she could see the same in his face too. Both of which increase the want and desire all the more and hence Naina embraces Rajveer into a tight hug. Quenching his days' thirst for it; as well as her newly discovered thirst too. Rajveer hugs her back with equal fervour, or rather more, as his wait has finally got to an end. The level of his feeling, he knows Naina's too cannot match that. The more you wait the more the end result means to you!

This hug, they know is not a hug between a mentor and a cadet; it isn't even between a teacher and a student. Today it isn't Captain Rajveer and Cadet Naina hugging each other but it is Naveen's friend, Rajveer and Naveen's sister, Naina, Rajveer and Naina hugging each-other!

The hug isn't a quick one like it should be, given the circumstances they are in. It is rather a proper emotional hug. It is as if, none of them wants to let the other go. As if at this moment they regret the fact that although they had ample time to be with each other; to talk their heart out to each other; to tell what's hidden in their hearts - the truth, the true feelings for each other, the position they have given to each other in their lives but they wasted all the opportunities that life had provided them with.

At this particular moment Rajveer regrets that he didn't show his dominance to her! During those days, when after knowing the truth that he killed Naveen, Naina refused to talk to him. Hell about refused, she rather made sure that her each action hurt him to the core! He could have pulled her to a corner behind the walls while she was passing by the corridor. He could have shown her right there, right at that point of time that if Rajveer can be too friendly with her, then if time comes he can also make sure that she obeys him! It's not that he would have tortured her, that of course he would have never done to her, not even in his dreams but he surely could have taught her - who he is to her and how should she behave with him!

As they hug each other their saviors - Pooja, Alekh, Huda, Ali, Yudi take their chances to look towards them to know are they safe? What is going on between them? - No, no naughty or ill feeling is attached to the thought. They rather are tensed about them. As chance by chance they happen to have a glance towards their teacher Rajveer Sir and their friend Naina, what skips their heartbeats is the position they find this duo in - hugging each other tight, forgetting about the world.

What else comes as a surprise for all of them is their own reaction to it. Alekh of course wanted this since forever now. He knew this is what future is going to be like someday. Hence, it doesn't really skips his heartbeat, rather gives him a sense of relaxation that finally they have heard their hearts' desires. The realization dawns upon him afresh that the culprits of Captain Rajveer and Naina are in front of him. Anger surges through him afresh and with a new rage, a rage much more than before, he turns towards the culprits and shoots at them senselessly! But as for others like Pooja, she had taunted Naina about Rajveer earlier, but today the smile on her face justifies how satisfied is she on discovering them this way! Yudi, who has always respected Captain Rajveer's and Naina's space and never judged them, his heart swells too, he realizes that deep down he wanted this for them but of course not in such circumstances! Ali, who unknowingly had become a reason for them to pass through a phase where they endured humiliation, feels light on seeing them together. The fact that he is protecting them gives him a sense of immense satisfaction. He feels this is apt way to repent for his past deeds. And as for Huda, no denial that initially his heart skips a beat on seeing them together in such a position but he accepts it, the fact that it was always about Rajveer and Naina, always about them.

The way Rajveer rubs his hand on Naina's back whilst hugging her, his eyes closed, feeling her; taking in the fragrance of her so that it havocs his mind for the rest of his life, it tells Naina about his desperation. Naina too hugs him tight to let him know that her feelings are same for him.

Rajveer gets out of the world he had been, where there was no one other than Rajveer himself and Naina. Opening his eyes, realizing that he needs to leave, he tries to lose the hold on Naina, making her to understand that he needs to go. But Naina although understanding it all doesn't leave him! She rather hugs him tighter.

*Flashback ends*

"Nahi... nahi main wahan se shuru nahi kar sakta. Nahi kar sakta main wahan se shuru!",

says Rajveer, inside his heart sinks as he realizes that nothing stands same between him and Naina anymore!

Dr. Shalini absolutely clueless about what he is talking stares him, knitting her brows tighter. She notices how he is nervous about something.

Tilting her head a little, gauging his mood and reaction Dr. Shalini asks,

"Wha...what happened Captain? Is everything alright?"

Captain Rajveer looks towards Dr. Shalini and with a heavy heart, almost helplessly he asks her,

"Nahi aana chahiye tha na mujhe wapas Dr. Shalini?"

That certainly comes as a shock for Dr. Shalini. Resting her hand on his hand, Dr. Shalini says,

"Nahi Captain! Aap... aap aisa kyun keh rahe hain?"

"Majdhar mein lakar khada kar diya na maine usse?",

asks Captain Rajveer, his eyes at the verge of having tears.

Dr. Shalini shakes her head into negative, her eyes turned all the more soft on him.

"Aisa kuch nahi hai Captain.",

she tries to assure him.

"In... In fact I am sure uski majhdhaar mein ayi hui zindagi ko firse kinara mila hai, apke laut ane se.",

says Dr. Shalini, smiling reassuring.

Captain Rajveer looks towards Dr. Shalini, his cheeks emitting heat as he deep down feels guilty for having returned back.

Snapping her fingers, she asks,

"Apko meri baat par bharosa nahi hai na?"

Rajveer keeps staring Dr. Shalini, having nothing to say to that. Grabbing his unuttered words, Dr. Shalini with full confidence says,

"Okay! Do one thing Captain, agar main sahi hun; meri soch jahan tak ja sakti hai; jitna main Cadet Singh ko janti hun - having not talked to you yet, must have affected her equally; just as much as it is affecting you - not talking to her. As I said she must be weeping. Go have a check on her."

Captain Rajveer's rate of heartbeat picks up pace.

"Aur agar aisa hi hai Captain...",

says Dr. Shalini.

Captain Rajveer holds his breath to know what follows further.

Taking a deep breath, Dr. Shalini says,

"You are smart Captain, you know what it means.",

smiles Dr. Shalini.

Grabbing her unsaid words, Rajveer blushes hard, but doesn't smile. He lowers his eyes feeling shy.

Captain Rajveer without wasting any time further, gets up - all excited to reach Naina. As he turns and walks only a few steps, Dr. Shalini calls him from behind,

"Captain! Naina ke chakkar mein aap ye mat bhul jana ke you are not fit yet. So agar aap kisi romantic hero ki tarah apni heroine se bhaagte hue milne ja rahe hain to Mr. Hero yaad rakhiyega ke apki personal doctor - Dr. Shalini can turn really very strict if needed. Friendship ko bhi bhul jati hun main when I get into doctor mode.",

saying so she arches her right brow.

Rajveer laughs - his mouth closed, just his smile stretches wide.

"And trust me doctor bachpan se mujhe doctors se bohot darr lagta hai.",

jokes Captain Rajveer.

"Wo kya hai na, wo injections lagate hain na!",

says he, almost like whispering.

That makes Dr. Shalini to laugh. Captain Rajveer laughs too.

"All the best Captain and take care.",

smiles Dr. Shalini.

That reminds him what he was heading towards. As a result of it his smile diminishes as nervousness grabs him again.

"Thanks Doctor and I will.",

smiling, he leaves.

●●●●●

While Captain Rajveer and Dr. Shalini were busy discussing Naina and Rajveer, an angry Alekh knocks the door of Naina's room.

The knock drags Naina out of her thoughts.

Sitting on her bed, resting her back against the pillow, with knitted brows Naina looks towards the door. Knitted, because she had been deep into thinking about Rajveer and everything that happened that fateful day and what followed thereafter.

The pillow on her knees, on which she was resting her elbows, she grabs it with both of her hands, getting nervous on hearing the knock.

Is he standing outside the closed door? What now? How can she escape the situation now?

It feels as if Naina has almost forgotten breathing.

What look must he be carrying right now - angry? tired? confused? - the thought doesn't help her to reduce the nervousness. Is she ready to face him? What if he asks anything regarding the last hug they shared? Is she prepared well enough to face him while he asks that? What does he expect her to say? Will this meeting be more like Captain Rajveer meeting his Cadet Naina 'Ah' Singh? Or would it be Rajveer meeting Naina? What will she say if he asks - why didn't she try finding him? Know about him? Will he understand that she was left too broken to think rationally as to what needs to be her next step?

Before she could continue with her trail of thoughts a voice calls her from outside,

"Apun ko pata hai tu anderich hai Naina aur jagi hui hai. Isliye apun ke saamne shaanpati mat dikha. Chup chap darwaza khol."

Naina shuts her eyes and shakes her head taking a deep breath.

"Dekh agar tu ne darwaza nahi khola na to apun ye darwaza tod dega. Uske baad agar apun ko Lolita Ma'am ya BC ne saza bhi di na tab bhi apun....",

and before he could continue, the door opens.

Alekh's heart skips a beat on the sudden opening of the door. After the initial surprise he focuses on gauging Naina's mood.

"Kya karne ka irada hai tera Alekh?",

she scolds him for his constant beating the door.

"Yahich to apun tujhse puchne aya hai Naina. Kya karne ka irada hai tera apni zindagi ke saath?",

asks Alekh.

Naina lowers her eyes. Her brows knitted out of frustration.

"Tu kayeko itna bhaw kha rahi hai?",

asks Alekh, frustrated himself.

"Mujhe kuch samjh nahi aa raha tu kya keh raha hai Alekh.",

saying so Naina turns leaving the door open for him to enter and walks further into her room.

"Magar apun ko sub samjh aa raha hai. Kyun bhagti rehti hai tu?",

asks Alekh.

Naina looks here and there, feeling suffocated.

"Kya karke tujhe chain milega Naina?",

Alekh raises his voice.

"Main jo kar rahi hun uss se sirf mujhe hi nahi balki subko chain milega Alekh.",

says Naina, her voice low, hesitant.

"Chain milega?",

asks Alekh, knitting his brows. His rate of heartbeat increases out of irritation and anger.

Naina walks away from him but doesn't leave the room. She doesn't want to have this conversation with him. He always manages to manupilate her, change her mind. And at this moment she doesn't want to listen to anyone.

"Tere aur Captain Rajveer ki bechaini ka tujhe kya lagta hai apun subko pata nahi?",

asks Alekh, raising his voice.

"Na main bechain hun.... aur.... aur na wo!!",

says Naina, her eyes cascaded.

Frustrated Alekh walks in front of Naina, and scolds her,

"Ye khamoshi jo tum dono ke beech mein hai na Naina, iske peeche chupa sailab apun achi tarah samajhta hai."

Naina looks towards Alekh, her eyes welling up gradually.

"Ye ansun jo tu ne itne din bahaye hain, unn ko ponchne wala aa gaya hai tere paas to tu unhe khudse dur bhejne ki koshish kar rahi hai?",

asks Alekh, angry.

Naina's heart skips a beat hearing that.

She looks away.

"Main inhi ansun ke layak hun Alekh.",

says Naina, sadly.

Alekh stays mum.

"Kis liye Naina? Isliye kyunki tu ne Captain Rajveer ko bachane ki har mumkin koshish ki? Ya isliye kyunki tu Captain Rajveer ke har dushman ki dushman bann gayi?",

asks Alekh, lowering his voice.

Naina shuts her eyes fathoming his each word.

Opening them she says,

"Isliye kyunki unhe khush rehna ka haq hai. Isliye kyunki ab main nahi chahti ki meri wajah se unki zindagi mein koi pareshani aye. Isliye kyunki main janti hun ke jo main ek baar firse wohi Naina bann gayi, to itni mushkil se jo khudko maine unse durr kiya tha....",

she pauses and takes a deep breath,

"..main firse unse koi rishta nahi banana chahti. Na....",

and before she could continue, Alekh intervenes,

"Rishta banaya hi kab tha tu ne Naina?"

That comes as a shock for Naina. She turns to look towards him. Her eyes wide open. Did he really say that?

Alekh who understands her state well, nods his head vigorously out of anger,

"Theek sunna tu ne!"

His words pierce her heart.

"Theek bol raha hai apun!",

states Alekh out of anger and frustration.

"Alekh...",

Naina fails to create a coherent sentence out of shock.

"Jab jab unhone rishta banana chaha - kabhi tu ne to kabhi haalat ne unhe tujhse durr kar dia!",

Alekh declares the bitter truth in front of her.

Naina shuts her eyes, tear rolls down her cheeks.

"Ab dekh na aaj bhi tu wohi galti kar rahi hai!",

Alekh tries to put brain into Naina.

Naina looks away, feeling suffocated.

"Kis baat ka intezaar hai tujhe Naina? Aur kitna intezaar likha hai tere aur Captain Rajveer ke naseeb mein?",

asks a frustrated Alekh.

Naina gets anxious.

"Aur waqt zaya mat kar Naina. Mann le ke tu utni hi akeli hai, adhuri hai Captain Rajveer ke bina, jitne ki wo hain tere bina.",

says Alekh.

Naina looks towards Alekh, her brows knit together, eyes soft.

"Mujhe... mujhe sochne ke liye thoda waqt chahiye.",

says Naina, hesitantly, lowering her eyes.

Alekh shakes his head staring her helplessly, realizing that it is futile to explain her anything further. Out of frustration Alekh leaves.

Upon his leave, Naina cries.... cries hard.... soon she ends up weeping!

Angry Alekh walks through the corridor to in order to reach his room that on his way he collides with Rajveer.

"Arey Cadet Alekh, itni jaldi mein kahan ja rahe ho?",

asks Captain Rajveer smiling a little.

Angry Alekh glares him.

"Der ho chuki hai itni ke apun ko laga shayad apun ke jaldi chalne se hi mamla sulajh jaye!",

says Alekh, his voice raised.

Captain Rajveer doesn't get good vibes from Cadet Alekh, hence knits his brows, his smile vanishing gradually.

"Kya hua? Sub theek hai na?",

asks Rajveer, concerned.

"Apke gairhazri mein kuch theek kaise ho sakta hai Sir?",

says Alekh, turning a little polite.

"Main kuch samjha nahi.",

says Rajveer, worried.

"Apki amanat ko apun ne bohot sambhal liya. Ab apun ko iss 'bojh' se azad kar dijiye aap.",

says Alekh, out of anger.

"Bojh?",

asks Rajveer, still confused about what Alekh is talking.

"Naina!",

states Alekh, before Rajveer could ask anything further.

That skips Rajveer's heartbeat. His knitted brows relaxes out of surprise. Blush creeps his cheeks but of course there is no smile attached to the blush.

Alekh sighs.

Rajveer slowly looks towards him, smiling a little whilst asking,

"To Naina ab tumhare liye bojh bann gayi hai?"

Alekh shakes his head into negative, helplessly, rolling his eyes.

"Usse samjhana apun ke bus ki baat nahi."

"Tum kaho to main koshish karun?"

Alekh smiles.

"Apko apun se puchne ki zarurat hai kya? Apki hi to amannat hai.",

smiles Alekh.

Hearing that Rajveer blushes, smiling and lowers his eyes.

Patting Alekh's shoulder Rajveer assures him,

"Main baat karta hun Naina se."

Alekh smiles and nods his head into positive.

Rajveer crosses Alekh to walk to Naina's room that suddenly a thought strikes his mind and he turns calling Alekh,

"Alekh..."

Alekh turns to know what has he to say.

"Meri... meri amannat ko itne dino tak sambhalne ke liye, mere absence mein, shukriya. Thank you so much Alekh.",

smiles Rajveer, blushing.

Alekh's heart swells hearing that.

Smiling wide he shakes his head into negative in slow motion.

"Jaiye... kahin train patri se nikal na jaye.",

teases Alekh.

Rajveer blushes.

Smiling further, Alekh says,

"Apne kamre mein hai wo."

Rajveer looking towards him nods, smiling.

"Shayad aap hi ka intezaar ho.",

teases Alekh.

Rajveer widens his eyes out of shock on hearing that. His blush deepens.

Alekh laughs. Rajveer leaves for Naina's room.

Reaching in front of the door of her room, Rajveer raises his hand to knock the door that something comes in his mind and instead of knocking, he slowly holds the handle of the door and pushes it open lightly.

The sight in front of his eyes shocks Rajveer to the core. This wasn't how he anticipated the situation. Is he hallucinating or what? He goes numb out of shock! His mouth forms an 'O' - reflecting his shocked state.

Naina who was about to pull the inner shirt of her uniform stops suddenly on getting a vibe of someone's presence there. The increase in the rate of her heartbeat tells her that this couldn't be Pooja. Afterall she enters the room usually with a loud commotion. This is silent. This one is.... different!

She quickly turns and gets shocked to find Rajveer standing in front of her.

His state, Naina notices is as awkward as is hers. She quickly leaves her shirt free so that it gets adjusted back to it's place, never looking away from Rajveer in her state of shock.

As soon as she does that, shocked Rajveer realizes that he has been staring her and quickly he lowers his eyes out of hesitation and awkwardness.

(Slow guitar tune begins)

"Wo... main... actually....",

in his state of shock, Rajveer fails to construct a coherent sentence.

Naina keeping her eyes lowered, asks him,

"Ahmm.... kuch kam tha?"

"I... I am sorry... Mujhe... mujhe knock karke ana chahiye tha.",

Rajveer apologizes, sincerely, keeping his eyes cascaded.

Naina slowly looks towards him. He doesn't dare to look towards her out of hesitation.

This brings a little smile on Naina's face and blush creeps her cheeks.

"Nahi....!!!",

says Naina, staring him longingly.

That skips Rajveer's heartbeat and he immediately looks towards her.

Naina realizes what it sounds like.

"I... I mean...",

she elaborates or rather rectifies her words,

"Meri hi galti thi ke maine darwaza lock nahi kiya."

(Rajveer-Naina slow flute tune begins)

She keeps her eyes cascaded.

Rajveer looks towards her although his head bowed. A naughty smile stretches on his face.

"Hmm... galti to tumhari hi hai!",

teases Rajveer.

Naina looks towards him, glaring him a little. That makes Rajveer to laugh secretly.

"Wo darasal aadat nahi hai apke presence ki KMA mein ab to shayad isliye dhyan nahi gaya tha ke ab aap bhi aa chuke hain to mujhe apse bach kar rehna chahiye.",

Naina retorts, almost like teasing, in a single breath out of excitement.

She doesn't realize how her words might hurt Rajveer.

Rajveer's smile diminishes and gradually vanishes.

"Haan... nahi rahi hogi aadat meri ab iss academy ko; mere... mere cadets ko; aur.....",

he pauses before continuing and looks towards her,

"...tumhe!"

Her heart clenches hearing that. They stare each other.

Rajveer walks closer to Naina, as a result of which he could get a proper glimpse of her puffed up eyes.

"Ro rahi thi?",

asks Rajveer in a hushed voice, standing in front of her - close.

Naina's heart thumps inside her chest, her eyes lowered,

"Nahi to... main... main kyun roungi?""

Rajveer, tilting his head a little towards his left keeps staring her.

After few moments of staring her without blinking his eyes, Rajveer says,

"Mujhe laga ke shayad tum academy mein mera intezaar kar rahi hogi."

Naina clenches the corner of her trousers, not looking towards him - feeling awkward.

"Par ab lagta hai ke tum khush nahi ho mere wapas ane se.",

says Rajveer, all serious - trying to gauge her reaction.

Naina immediately looks towards him. Her suddenly knitting of her brows tells Rajveer how she is disappointed on hearing those words from him.

"Hmm..??",

prompts Rajveer.

"Mere haan ya na kehne se kya hota hai? Aap anyways ab academy mein hain - sahi salamat.",

says Naina, hesitantly, keeping her eyes cascaded.

And as soon as she utters the last two words, she gets an urge to look towards him and get assured that he is indeed fine.

Rajveer notices how she is holding back her tears.

"Rona hai?",

asks Rajveer plainly, as if it is not a big deal for him if Naina cries.

Naina immediately looks towards him, her eyes turned slightly bigger out of shock.

"Nahi agar rona hai to tum ro sakti ho.",

says Rajveer, calmly.

Naina for whom holding back her tears is becoming difficult especially because of the tone he is using at the moment, turns away trying to control her tears.

"Apko... apko zara sa bhi andaza hai ke mujh par kya beeti thi uss din?",

asks Naina, turning her head to her right but still not turning completely to look towards him. Her eyes staring the floor. Her brows creased.

Rajveer lowers his eyes realizing the depth of her emotions.

"Har lamha... har pal... main yahi sochti rahi ke akhir kyun? mere saath hi kyun hota hai aisa ke jisse main apna manti hun; jinke ird-gird meri zindagi hoti hai; jo mere liye important hote hain; jinse main pya....",

she suddenly stops realizing where she was about to head towards.

Her unuttered words skip Rajveer's heartbeat as he realizes what she was about to say. His eyes widens out of shock. His rate of heartbeat increases out of anticipation.

He doesn't provoke her to speak further and slowly lowers his eyes and smirks. That smirk was more to his fate than it was to Naina.

"Ye acha hai na jab mann kiya chup chap durr ho gaye aur jab mann kiya wapas aa gaye.",

scolds Naina and looks towards Rajveer.

Rajveer stares her innocently.

"Nahi... main apko maaf nahi karungi. Nahi karungi main apko maaf.",

Naina cries.

"Magar meri galti kya hai?",

asks Rajveer softly, knitting his brows.

Naina looks towards him, staying quiet for sometime. Rajveer keeps staring her waiting for her to reply.

"Aap mujhse durr gaye, ye hai apki galti!",

says Naina, never stopping glaring him.

"Tumne hi kaha tha bhagne ko.",

reminds Rajveer, calmly.

That frustrates Naina.

"Aap mujhe bhi to saath le ja sakte the na?",

scolds Naina.

"Tum chalti?",

asks Rajveer, immediately, as if daring her to answer.

That comes as a challenge for Naina.

"Kya??? Apko ye lagta hai ke agar aap mujhe apne sang le jate to main mana kar deti?",

asks Naina, shocked.

"Tum do (2) baar sochti zaroor!",

challenges Rajveer.

"Apke saath... apke saath jane ke liye main sochti??",

what nonsense is he talking does he even know?

Rajveer nods confidentely.

"MAIN APSE PYAR KARTI HUN. Apko lagta hai ye jhoot hai?",

asks Naina, angry.

That comes as a surprise for Rajveer!!

Is he hallucinating? How.... how easily did she say that as if it is just another sentence she says usually to him.

"Naina!!!",

breathes Rajveer, shocked.

Naina looks away.

Crying a little, controlling herself, she closes her eyes, still not turning to face him, and asks him,

"Kya har baat kehni zaruri hoti hai kya?"

That comes as yet another shock for Rajveer.

After gaining back his equilibrium, he says, ever so calmly,

"Nahi! Bilkul nahi!"

Naina opens her eyes, her heart thumping inside her chest.

"Magar kabhi kabhi kuch hints dena zaruri hota hai Naina. Akhir jisse tum pyar karti ho usse andaza to ho iss baat ka.",

teases Rajveer, emphasizing on 'tum'.

Naina smiles a little, almost like a smirk out of blush.

"Shayad mera mentor mujhe sikha hi nahi paya ke pyar kaise kiya jata hai.",

says Naina, her voice hushed,

Tears roll down her cheeks as she realizes that today her mentor - whom she thought she has lost forever - is standing in front of her. Deep down the mere feeling of Rajveer's presence around herself, quenches her thirst of being with her mentor again.

"Kya tum ek aur mauka nahi de sakti apne mentor ko? Taki wo tumhe wo sub kuch sikha de jo wo pehle nahi sikha paya?",

asks Rajveer politely, tilting his head a little towards his left.

Smirking, Naina says,

"Mujhe nahi lagta ke ab unke paas mujhe sikhane ko kuch bhi bacha hai. In fact, mujhe to aisa lagta hai jaise main unhe bohot kuch sikha sakti hun ab."

"To sikhao na!",

replies Rajveer immediately.

His immediate reply comes as a surprise for Naina. She turns to look towards him - dumbstruck.

Hum mein tum mein jo tha Woh khatam ho gaya Mod pe aakhri main reh gaya

"Kya sub kuch khatam ho chuka hai humare beech Naina?",

asks Rajveer, expectantly.

His asking so clenches Naina's heart.

"Itne agey barh chuki ho Naina ke ab peeche ane ka raasta hi nahi dikh raha tumhe?",

asks Rajveer.

How... how can he even think like that? Can she walk even one step without him? Naina looks away, without answering. Her brows knit together.

Maine koshish bahut ki bacha loon magar Pehle dil baad mein ghar jal gaya

"Kya mera wapas aana bekar gaya?",

asks Rajveer.

Blood drains out of Naina's face.

"Haar to apka yaar hai na? To apko kis baat ka ghum?",

taunts Naina.

Rajveer looks towards Naina whose back is turned towards him.

"hmmm..",

he says softly, sadly, smiling sarcastically.

"Wo  kya hai na jab tak yahan nahi pohncha tha zada soch nahi raha tha kisi baat ke barey mein.",

says Rajveer.

Naina knits her brows eager to know where is he heading towards with this statement.

"Par jab yahan pohnch gaya to...",

Rajveer looks towards her before continuing,

"Umeed barh gayi."

His words pinch Naina's heart. She understands that how much KMA and she herself mean to him.

Seene mein di jagah maine jis raaz ko Aankhon se woh meri beh hi gaya

Tears roll down Rajveer's cheek. Naina knits her brows as her heart tears into pieces on seeing him crying. She laughs whilst crying and says,

"Aap kyun ro rahe hain? Apne to wohi kiya na jo apke liye sahi tha."

Rajveer somehow manages to force his voice through his choked throat and says,

"Haa..n Naina! Mujhe bhi humesha... humesha yahi laga... ke main jo kar raha hun... wo sahi hai."

Naina smiles sarcastically. Lowering her eyes she nods her head into affirmative and says,

"Hmm... wohi kiya apne.... jo apko sahi laga."

Rajveer looks towards her, understanding the taunt behind her appreciation.

"Dusro ko.... apne protegee ko sahi raasta dikhane wale mentor ko akhir rok bhi kaun sakta hai apne zindagi aur apne... apne protegee ke zindagi ka faisla lene se?",

taunts Naina.

Rajveer knits his brows as her words hurt him.

Hum mein tum mein jo tha Woh khatam ho gaya Mod pe aakhri main reh gaya

"Kar diya na khatam sub kuch apke ek faisle ne Captain Rajveer?",

asks Naina, crying, glaring him. But her voice soft.

Rajveer looks towards her helplessly, feeling guilty.

"Sub agey barh gaye hain Rajveer Sir. Sub!!",

Naina cries.

Getting closer to him, Naina holds Rajveer by his collar, pulling it a little out of frustration she asks him,

"Ab aap mujhe ye bataiye ke kyun ijjazat nahi di apne mujhe agey barhne ki?"

Blood rushes to Rajveer's face immediately on hearing her question. Her sudden getting close to him, holding his collar, he for the first time finds her being..... intimate with him! Who says that to get intimate you need to go naked?

Rajveer's stare on Naina turns all the more possessive on hearing that. Naina gives him tough competition in staring.

Rajveer slowly rubs off her tears and whilst doing so he asks,

"Tumhare paas pura waqt tha Naina agey barhne ka. Tum mujhe ye batao ke tum kyun nahi barhi agey?"

Naina leans to his touch - feeling it, remembering his touch.

Rajveer rubs his thumb on her left cheek slowly such that her already heaten up cheeks heats up further, this time by his touch!

Mere liye tu wahi hai Badla kuch nahi Khel hai ye waqt ka sab Bigda kuch nahi

Naina opens her eyes and stares him. Rajveer prompts her,

"Hmm...??"

"Kyunki mere liye aap wohi hain jo aap the. Kyunki jab maine agey barhna bhi chaha, to aap jaisa koi nahi paya. Aap jaisa.... jo mera har kadam par saath de sakey. Har kadam par mujhe tok sakey, mujhe sahi raasta dikha sakey.",

says Naina, in a hushed voice, staring him throughout.

Rajveer stares her back, all quiet.

"Aap agey kyun nahi barhe?",

asks Naina.

Rajveer focuses on her cheek, then looks back towards her and says,

"Kyunki maine tumhari tarah agey barhne ka kabhi socha hi nahi!"

This skips Naina's heartbeat and she suddenly feels guilty about her earlier words.

Naina lowers her eyes out of hesitation.

Rajveer smirks.

Hai kasam tu aake le chal Mujhe phir waheen Aye masiha mere Aa zakhm bhar bhi de Dard mein doobi hui gehraiyan

Naina, still crying looks towards Rajveer and pleads him,

"Mujhe yahan se kahin aur le chaliye please. Kahin durr!"

This comes as a surprise for Rajveer.

They keep staring each other hurt and love visible in both the pairs of eyes. Naina cries hard. They stare each other. The longing in her eyes is indication enough for Rajveer to embrace her into a warm and passionate hug. He pulls her to him with an urgency, hugging her. Naina hugs him back with equal fervor.

The hug not only stitches Rajveer's wounds but Naina's alike! Naina doesn't understand when her crying turns into weeping. But all she understands is that this weeping she is enjoying. This weeping is to drain out the feeling of longing, hurt, loneliness.

"Ab main aa gaya hun Naina. Tumhe ab aur rone ki zarurat nahi hai. Bilkul zarurat nahi.",

says Rajveer, tightening his hug.

Naina smiles whilst crying hard on hearing him.

Episode 50 (51) or Alekh proves once again why he is the best friend ever

Episode link: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=07wZGaNT70c

Huda comments that now they’ll have to find Naina alongside the Captain.

Luckily she spots them before they see her and hides. Major Nair says they’re going to go as far as they can into the jungle but if they don’t find him in a couple of hours they’ll come back. He’s not worried about finding Naina as she’ll anyway be thrown out of the academy.

Naina climbs into a truck that is leaving, unfortunately Major Nair sees her in the reflection of a car window.

//

Back at the academy the rest of the group are in trouble. BC asks if they think the academy is a joke and tells them that they’ll be punished for helping Naina run away.

They’re all going to have to jump into a five foot hole which will be filled with dirty water and they will remain there until Major Nair brings Naina back. If any of them leave they will be expelled alongside Naina.

//

Naina spots Major Nair and Huda trailing her and throws boxes from the truck to stop them (sorry truck driver, it’s for a good cause). Finally Major Nair crashes as Naina calls out “I’m sorry Sir but I’ll now return with Captain Rajveer!”

Huda realises that Naina knows where Raj is and tries to set out after her. He lies to Major Nair that he’ll go to find a mechanic. He also asks for Major Nair’s mobile so he can find network ahead to contact the academy.

//

The cadets are all feeling sick standing in the dirty water. Alekh says that jail was better than this while Ali asks if they think the punishment is a bit unhygienic 😂 Pooja starts screaming saying she feels something near her foot and Alekh says all of the neighbourhood’s worms must be in there.

Alekh says they made a mistake - Yudi asks “By joining KMA?” He’s regretting not going abroad to study software. Alekh says they should have gone with Naina, in jail you only help someone escape if you’ll go with them.

Ali says that someone has to take the side of the law. Alekh gets out of the late telling him that he can support the law and Alekh will suppost Naina.

Yesssss the best friend that there ever was, and this is going to be a defining moment in their friendship!

//

Someone with a gun is watching Naina as she makes her way forward, preparing to shoot her. Huda calls them, telling them that Naina knows where their target is. Huda’s contact says that he has orders to finish Naina and Huda is shocked, he says that he’ll handle Naina. The man reminds Huda that they need to finish whoever comes in the way of their mission.

At the dhaba, Alekh finds out information from the waiter on where Huda and Major Nair have gone. The waiter tells him a shortcut as Alekh bribes him.

Huda arrives back with the mechanic, just as Major Nair is ranting about him having disappeared. Huda says that they should look for Naina first as Raj won’t move quickly while he’s injured but they need to reach Naina before she gets too far. Major Nair agrees with him and they head off.

//

Naina trips and injures her hand, quickly wrapping it up. She swears that whatever happens, she will find Captain Rajveer and continues trekking through the jungle.

Naveen’s voiceover tells us that when your courage is breaking you should remember all the obstacles you overcame on the long journey to reach this point. The one strength that helped her reach this point.

Naina once again remembers Raj’s words that he believes in her, she picks herself up and continues.

//

Huda says he’ll head into the jungle to search and Major Nair gives him a point to meet at in half an hour.

Naveen’s voice over tells us that his old friend, Captain Rajveer is fighting a battle between life and death somewhere in this jungle. Naveen’s little sister has come to find him, facing all difficulties to find the answers she seeks as Raj is the only one that can answer them.

Naina is not alone though, there is someone seeking to stop her, her crazy admirer (Huda is shown searching for her) but there is also someone who will help Naina, a true friend... and the camera focuses on Alekh who is finally on his way.

Episode 47 (48) or My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark

Episode link: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fQ4EBhdwrz4

Naina is clearly upset, saying that she had so much to ask the Captain as Huda pretends to be shocked by the news. She says that she’ll go and ask Brigadier Chandook about the news.

Bunty is looking at the closed door, thinking that he should try calling Captain Rajveer one more time (obviously he wasn’t watching the news).

BC is telling someone he doesn’t have a confirmation and has just heard it on the news. Naina asks if she can enter BC’s office and he tells her he’ll be looking into the matter and will tell them officially what has happened in the morning. He sends Naina back to her room as Major Nair comes in.

Major Nair is flippant about Captain Rajveer’s apparent death and BC scolds him about speaking that way about a colleague’s death. He asks Major Nair to investigate the crash site and idebtify Captain Rajveer’s body.

Naina calls her father tearfully to tell him about Captain Rajveer’s accident. Her father tells her that she’ll have to be patient now as Naina cries, she says that Captain Rajveer supported her a lot and she doesn’t know what she’ll do without him. She can’t fight alone.

Naina collapses in tears as the call is disconnected.

//

Ali is still trying to convince Pooja and they argue about him pretending to be sick and what happened. Pooja is still angry (get a hint about why you feel that way Pooja!). She threatens to call Lolitaji and Ali leaves.

//

Huda comes to comfort Naina, taking her back to the mess and giving her water. He tells her that a brave soldier never loses their courage and Naina remembers Raj’s words to her about a soldier fighting to their last breath.

Suddenly Huda notices the time and rushes off. He is just approaching the phone when he sees first Bunty and then Shalini and Suriji approaching and dashed off.

Shalini tells Suriji she hopes he hasn’t been drinking and he tells her everything that has happened. They agree it would be better for Shalini to tell Ritu about the news.

Ali comes to tell Yudi that there’s nothing going on between him and his sister. Yudi is upset, Ali also gets upset, and they end up arguing. Ali points out that she had come to meet someone and Yudi says maybe she’d come to meet him. Sure Yudi. Sure.

//

In the mess, Naina continues to think about Raj raising her spirits, this time when he told her he believed in her after Major Nair’s humiliation post the terrorist incident.

//

Someone with a balaclava on their face (cough Huda cough) searches the Captain’s room. Bunty enters the room to see who’s there and Huda attacks him. Bunty tries to take off the balaclava but fails and ends up injured.

Huda steals some files as Naina sees him running away, throwing most on the eternal flame to burn and keeping only one.

Naina enters the Captain’s room, finding Bunty injured. She runs for help.

Meanwhile Huda is again speaking to someone on the phone, telling them he got the file from the Captain’s room and when should he hand it over to them.

[leftrightleftallthetime]

Episode 21 or Naina starts her tradition of barging into Raj’s room uninvited

Episode link: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ot7oMBcb5KA

Naina is shocked and frightened but has to make her way to Dr Mishra’s test. Seeing Raj there only increases her nervousness.

Dr Mishra explains that the test is going to be in two parts, the first part will be a word association test. The cadets go through one by one, Naina hesitates when it comes to her and Dr Mishra gives her ‘Joot’ she says No and Dr Mishra dismisses her.

In the second part she will be giving a lie detector test where they have to lie convincingly as this is also a skill. Raj adds that it can mean their life or death if the enemy catches them.

Huda pretends to be a shy software engineer and passes convincingly. Yudi tries to talk like Alekh and fails miserably. Ali says he’s fallen in love and is crazy about a girl and passes, except that it’s not a lie. Alekh says he’s going to become a priest and hates alcohol, lying convincingly. Dr Mishra rather cruelly asks why he couldn’t convince the judge he was a good person then and he leaves angrily. Pooja acts like Lolitaji and is hilarious. Naina tries her best but fails to lie convincingly. She walks off in a daze as Raj gazes after her.

He comments that in a time where those who speak the truth are rare in their country they judge a good soldier as one who lies well. Dr Mishra comments that it was just a test and Raj replies that it’s also often their life’s truth.

The cadets have come to see the board and see the notice for the Fresher’s Ball. Shalini tells them that they need to have dates to gain entry. Huda says he’ll find Yudi a date. Pooja says she’ll go with Ali. Ali worries as Pooja has a boyfriend but Alekh encourages him - telling him she’s not married!

Yudi asks Huda who he’s going to take and he makes a bet that he’ll get Naina to go with him. Yudi doubts his chances of success.

In the mess they tease Ali for having a date already, he explains it nicely but Huda irritates him to the point where he yells he’s not her date just as she walks in. She walks away upset as he chases after her.

In Raj’s room he’s drinking coffee when Bunty comes in to ask why he hasn’t come to eat. Bunty asks if Raj has told the Brigadier and he says no, not yet then asks where Naina is. She also hasn’t come for dinner.

Outside in the rain, Naina stabs the sandbags with the bayonette on her rifle, frustrated, before she begins to cry. She swears to her brother that she’ll fight before storming back to Captain Rajveer’s room and pushing open the doors without any invitation. He tells her he didn’t hear a knock and Naina refuses to knock, instead shutting the doors and striding further inside.

She asks him angrily why he went to her house, why is he after her? What is it that he wants to know about her? She will tell him now, she is Naveen Singh Ahluwalia’s sister, the Naveen who gave his life for the country, not the one that was a traitor. Raj tries to pick up some papers and she grabs them out of his hands, Naina is not leaving until she has said her piece.

She says she knows he probably thinks that Naveen was a traitor but she’ll prove to the entire world he wasn’t. Raj again tries to walk away only for Naina to stand in front of him. She tells him that now he knows everything he can do what he wants but he’ll have to tell them because she won’t.

Naina says that she’ll become best cadet just like her brother was and show them. She walks away and a smile slowly spreads across Raj’s face.

Memorable moments?: Naina’s confrontation with Raj at the end, this really is where everything starts for them.

[leftrightleftallthetime]

Episode 8 or... wait, Huda hasn’t actually changed

Episode link: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2KlK1UXHIBY

Naveen’s voiceover tells us that Raj set the code exercise to see which cadet would be able to crack it, as they would be the likely candidate for the spy then.

Someone has put the answer on the board without revealing their identity (much like the code itself, the answer is ridiculous). Naina passes by the classroom and stops to wish him a good morning. He points out that the code has been cracked and asks if it was her. Naina tells him it wasn’t and Raj dismisses her.

Meanwhile Dr Shalini is checking all of the cadets blood pressure as Pooja complains to the other cadets about the training. They’re about to take part in a drill and the boys discuss who will win.

Yudi is called for his test and his blood pressure sky rockets, poor Yudi. He claims that he was jogging 😁 Shalini makes some jokes about his enthusiasm and that he can have BC’s job one day.

Huda steals the taweez from Naina’s pocket and she flattens him to the ground to get it back. Shalini tells Major Nair he won’t need to train the cadets too much, they’re already willing to fight.

They are going to do a trust drill and cannot leave their partners. They will need to complete the task and reach the exit points, and remain with their partners.

Raj is with Dr Mishra in the mess and asks if she has observed anything about the new cadets, he feels they’re quite different. Shalini joins them, asking if she’s being a kebab mein haddi.

Shalini starts telling them about what happened with Naina and Huda and that Naina threw him down. The wheels of Raj’s mind start working even as Shalini and Ritu go onto a tangent. Raj’s thoughts tell us that he feels there’s something different about Naina but whether she is the spy only time will tell.

Major Nair announces the pairs - Alekh and Pooja, Ali and Yudi, Naina and Huda. Poor Naina. They all have different tasks to complete; to find a rifle, to fix a broken water pump, and to transport an injured soldier.

The cadets start out, Yudi is enthusiastic but Ali points out he’s reading the map wrong. Luckily he has Ali to point him in the right direction.

Meanwhile Pooja is questioning Alekh. “Did he really kill someone? Why did he kill them? Girlfriend problem? Revenge for his parents?”

Alekh looks like he would like to kill someone right then.

Alekh stops to bury a bottle and Pooja is shocked, he tells her not to tell anyone. She has run out of water and asks for his - only to spit it out when she realises it’s alcohol.

She asks him why he’s not ashamed to drink in front of a girl and tries to grab it from him, the alcohol spills onto the ground and Alekh grabs Pooja’s collar.

Meanwhile Huda continues to be annoying and flirt with Naina, claiming that he cracked Captain Rajveer’s code and asking her about her taweez.

They reach a steep hill which Naina insists on climbing despite Huda saying he knows a shortcut. When she reaches the top, Huda goes to follow only for Naina to throw down the tree root she used to climb up so he can’t. At this point in time I am so annoyed by Huda’s comments that I would like to throw something at him through the screen so I can’t blame Naina for wanting to leave him behind.

Raj is shooting basketball hoops when Dr Ritu arrives. He tells her he’s come to check if he still has his skills and she says in psychology this means he has his destination but doesn’t know how to reach there (she definitely did not actually get that psychology qualification). He hasn’t managed to convince Brigadier Chandook of his teaching methods yet.

Dr Mishra hands over the cadets psychological profiles and interview recordings to Raj. He’s grateful and asks for her opinion - from the new batch, which cadet would be most dangerous to have as an enemy.

Dr Mishra tells him it would be Naina.

Memorable moments?: Not really, we’re still getting to know our characters at this point and settling in.

[leftrightleftallthetime]

Episode 30 (31) or Naina says her goodbyes but Can’t make her peace

Episode link: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ku45_bOCtRw

Naina makes it to her room, crying, as Raj follows after her. She tells him she said they wouldn’t allow her to stay and bids him goodbye. He tells her not to over react, a soldier shouldn’t give up that easily.

Naina asks what happens to those soldiers who are struck by dishonesty, how should they fight?

Calming down, she tells him that there have been disagreements and misunderstandings between them but he stood by her as she tries to fight this system and for that ex-Cadet Naina Singh salutes him.

Raj tells her that he’s still with her but Naina tells him no. She insists that she will take the bus to Almorah in the morning. Raj asks her to wait one more day and he’ll try and sort things out. Naina tells him that he already tried and nothing happened from it.

Raj answers that if this is her decision then all the best and Naina wishes him the same in return, so that he can win against this system.

Raj looks like he would like to say more but leaves, still very much angry and disturbed. Naina attempts to pack and becomes upset once more, believing she’s failed her brother.

Yudi prays to the eternal flame not to be expelled when Shalini approaches him. She tells him he’s been saved by marginal marks and won’t be expelled. Yudi hugs her before he realises what he’s doing. Shalini: “Cadet, behave yourself!”. She jokes with him and they’re rather cute. Shalini tells him that he will have to work hard now as nobody gets grace marks on a battlefield. Yudi asks about Naina and understands by Shalini’s expression.

Passing by Captain Rajveer’s room, Ritu hears noises and opens the door. He’s throwing darts in the dark and she tells him he’ll have better aim with the light on. She apologises for what happened in the Brigadier’s office and Raj thanks her for supporting him. Ritu asks how Naina is and he tells her she’s in the same state any soldier would be in these circumstances.

Raj asks why Ritu chose to support Naina and she tells him she didn’t, she chose to support him.

Ali and Alekh find Yudi, who is thinking that he’s only be saved by his Dad, which he didn’t want. Alekh tells him to leave the training if he doesn’t want it (classic Alekh). Yudi says that after everything he does love his Dad for what he did. He calls his Dad up to thank him and is told that his father didn’t have anything to do with it. Yudi now realises they chose to expell only Naina, without any other influence.

Naina calls her family and tells her mother that she’s coming home the next day as she has been expelled.

In the mess, nobody feels like eating. Naina tells them not to take out their anger on the food. She comforts Pooja, telling her she needs the strength to fight. Ali tells her that nobody likes what happened and Naina replies that they will all go far in life and that she will be leaving tomorrow. She farewells then and tells them that she’ll remember the moments here with them. She doesn’t wish Huda farewell, still angry with him.

He follows her, asking to be given a chance to say sorry properly. Naina: “Sorry aur Tum?”

Huda asks what the hurry is to leave and she tells him to ask the Brigadier.

Naina is headed out when she passes Raj’s room and they look at each other, he’s still very obviously disturbed. Naina starts that she would like to ask him something and when he calls her Cadet Singh says he may call her by her name, she’s not a cadet anymore.

She came to the academy to find out the truth about her brother and clear his name, now if she’s not here... she knows the whole country thinks her brother was a traitor but she wants to know the truth from him.

Raj tells her that he’s already in a terrible mood and he’s not the person for her to ask this question from. Naina tells him she trusts him and Naveen must have once trusted him too. She tells him she found the photo of them together in the room, they were batchmates and perhaps friends too. Raj knew him well and now she wants to know from him - was Captain Naveen Singh Ahluwalia a traitor?

(It’s interesting because here we see Raj already torn and disturbed my mentions of Naveen and it makes me wonder if they had Raj’s role planned out from the very beginning or not).

[leftrightleftallthetime]

Episode 20 or Raj meets his future in-laws (I couldn’t resist)

Episode link: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sO48-VjM2No

At the Ahluwalia house, Raj introduces himself and asks if Mrs Ahluwalia is Naina Singh’s mother. She begins to deny it but Mr Ahluwalia tells her to let him in.

Inside Raj begina to explain why he’s come when he spots a family photo with Naveen. He’s shocked and asks if this is Captain Naveen’s house, are they his parents?

Mr Ahluwalia confirms it angrily, asking what Raj will do with the knowledge. Will he throw Naina out of the academy? Isn’t the military happy with taking his son’s life.

Raj reassures them that he’s come on a routine check, he didn’t know Naina was Naveen’s sister (and again, I’m not quite certain why he didn’t at least suspect). Mrs Ahluwalia wants to know what he’ll do now, what more will be taken from them?

Raj tells them he was Naveen’s batchmate, and I do like how from here he swaps to calling them Aunty and Uncle because it speaks to the depths of his friendship with Naveen that he can’t think of them as anything else. Raj tells them he was on a mission at the time of Naveen’s death and Mr Ahluwalia sarcastically says that if he’d been here he would have come when Naveen died. No, he would not have come because nobody came due to the accusation against Naveen.

Raj states that he definitely would have come. Mr Ahluwalia asks him that since he knew Naveen and studied with him, was their son a traitor? Raj says this is what he heard, it’s what the evidence said. Mrs Ahluwalia wants to know what he thinks though.

Raj stands up, telling them that he just came to verify Naina’s address and he should go. He doesn’t have an answer for them.

Outside, Bunty tells him that he’ll have to tell Brigadier Chandok that Naina is Naveen’s sister and she can’t stay in the academy. Bunty reminds him that he was suspicious of Naina since the beginning and now they know she’s a traitor’s sister and the spy. Raj states confidently that she is not the spy and Bunty reminds him that there’s no place for a traitor’s sister in the academy. Clearly upset by the morning’s events, Raj kicks the tire of the car and they leave.

Lolitaji is conducting an exercise on pride and honour with the cadets where she is going to make them polish the academy’s trophies. It’s a funny scene but nothing of note happens.

Later in their room, Pooja asks Naina if she posted a rakhi, does she have a brother? Naina says that there’s nobody even as tears come to her eyes. She offers Naina an extra Rakhi in case she wants one before speaking about how Ali is the only brother of five sisters and how he’s her best friend. Pooja hasn’t quite got the point yet. Naina comments that Pooja is lucky, it’s not so easy to find someone to support you.

At night, Ali can’t sleep, thinking about Pooja. She shines a torch at their window and he goes to wave as Alekh asks what he’s doing and Ali gives excuses. Alekh tells him to tell his girlfriend to stop waving the torch as he wants to sleep. Ali asks Allah to forgive him and Alekh tells him it’s done - but ask him to give Pooja some sense too.

The next morning, Ali is admiring the Rakhis his sisters have sent. Alekh comments that it looks like the whole of Kanpur has sent them to him. Ali asks Alekh to tie the Rakhis for him and Alekh tells him not to meet Pooja today.

Yudi walks in and jokes that Alekh should tie him a Rakhi too, singing an old film song. Huda tells them he’s worn a full sleeve shirt just so that nobody can tie him one today. Huda talks about his sisters - but it turns out he’s talking about his buffaloes.

Yudi says he won’t go home to tie Rakhi because of his mum and dad but he won’t allow his sister to come here either, he knows enough of brotherly responsibility to keep her away from Huda.

Naina places her rakhi on the eternal flame, apologising for having forgotten earlier.

The cadets look at the marks board, Yudi is upset that even Alekh is ahead of him. Naina comes and sees that she’s been given the lowest marks and the other cadets comfort her. They remind her there’s still 3 tests left and she’ll do well. It’s Dr Mishra’s year for them today.

Captain Rajveer arrives back and runs into Dr Mishra who asks if he wore the uniform to impress her. Raj asks if he can be present during Dr Mishra’s test in order to understand the cadets better. She agrees that he can attend.

There is a call for Naina just then and Raj looks at her, knowing what it’s about. Her mother tells her that Captain Rajveer had come to their house.

[leftrightleftallthetime]

Episode 14 or THIS IS NOT A DRILL (Actually yes it is)

Episode link: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pp_eMWMtxdM

Naina’s mother tells her that she’s certain the call was from the academy as they kept trying to find out if there was anyone in the army. Naina tells her she’ll call back soon.

Yudi and Alekh are sitting in the courtyard when some seniors come to bully Yudi, Alekh immediately stands up to defend him (Have I mentioned that Alekh is the best friend anyone could ask for? He really is). Huda shows up and Yudi is ‘convinced’ to host a party for their seniors that Saturday at a dabba outside the academy. There’s one catch, first year cadets are not allowed outside the academy. I really do hate the seniors.

In the mess, Raj tells Dr Mishra he didn’t know she could be convinced that easily. She says it’s for the best that the cadets find out they won’t be successful earlier and go back to their normal lives.

Raj tells a story about two friends in the academy who were both excellent. At the start of the year they had a boxing match and it was expected that the won who won would be the best cadet but the opposite happened.

Shalini agrees, stating that often those who were ordinary cadets go on to win bravery awards.

Raj tells her that the cadets have come with a lot of courage and they should encourage that. In order to make one best cadet they shouldn’t lose future bravery award winners.

Dr Mishra wonders which of the friends in the story Captain Rajveer was. Suriji tells them that he was the winner of the boxing match while Naveen became best cadet.

In the gym the cadets are working out. Huda is annoying again and Pooja has a fitting reply for him this time.

Yudi worries about the party and Alekh tells him to ask Huda how to get out of the situation since he put him in it.

Ali asks them to come and see the notice board, where the search and destroy drill has been posted. They’ll be marked on all their drills from now on. Huda tries to make a bet with Ali about who will won and Ali agrees, saying someone has to show him his place.

The next day Major Nair has a drill for them, they need to carry a heavy burden to the top of a mountain in 25 minutes. Naina is late to the drill for some reason and he insists on sending her via a ‘shortcut’ to the top although Naina tries to refuse it. It starts raining and they all lift up their sacks and head off.

Huda passes comments as they climb about Naina and Yudi being left behind then about Pooja. Alekh tells him to be quiet and get on with it. They climb the hill with a great deal of difficulty, Naina finally ascending only as they descend. She loses her grip on the sack and Alekh asks if he should help. While she says no, he still hipchecks it into place (and I really is these little moments of friendship that I love). Ali catches and rights Pooja when she almost falls.

Ali beats Huda in the drill barely. Major Nair comments that Alekh completed it right on the dot of 25 minutes and he replies “Haan, to kiya na?” 😂

Naina arrives 15 minutes after the time limit, completing the drill with a great deal of difficulty. I’m still proud of you, Naina!

In the mess, the cadets are discussing the drill and how many marks they received. Pooja feels bad for Naina, commenting that he gave her a heavier sack on purpose.

Huda teases Pooja about Ali again as he had helped her during the drill and she threatens him with a fork “Agar tu Jat hain to main bhi Punjaben hoon.” I’m proud of you too Pooja.

Yudi complains that his sack was heavier than the others, and the seniors come over to remind him of the party the next night.

Alekh tells Yudi to ask his father for help for the party but Yudi wants to make his own path. Ali asks to be left out of it but Yudi says if he helps he’ll tell him who sent the note to Pooja.

Alekh seems happy (while he won’t be a khabri himself, others can tell) and says he’ll arrange the alcohol for the party for Yudi and now Ali will help figure out a way to leave.

Yudi tells Ali that Huda sent the letter. Huda chooses exactly the wrong moment to enter their hostel room and Ali pushes him up against the door.

Episode 12 or Boys are Creepy

Episode link: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZALsFZinlg

Raj asks Naina to hand over the mobile as they’re not allowed in the academy, in reply she tells him that she did her 10th grade from Almorah as her father was posted there for a year.

Raj isn’t buying it, he doesn’t believe her father would accept a transfer in her Board year. He asks for the phone again and Naina hands it over. Raj continues that while Naina has something to prove, she has just failed in her first outdoor drill. He has faith that she’ll do better next time, especially without the distraction of a mobile.

Naveen’s voice over tells us that Naina has realised even more so than Brigadier Chandok, she will need to be careful of Captain Rajveer.

In the mess, Yudi and Ali are laughing about what happened while Alekh threatens them not to tell. Naina arrives and while Major Nair tells her the mess is closed, she takes her plate after he leaves.

Huda and Meenal pass comments on Naina but she resists the urge to react this time. She notices some plant roots on Huda’s back.

//

Pooja is on the academy phones, still trying to find Rohit while the rest of the cadets move to the games room.

Pooja comes in excitedly and hugs Ali in her joy. Huda comments that someone’s happiness has broken someone else’s heart and uncomfortable, Ali needs.

Alekh says that Pooja is after a ‘wrong number’ and that there’s nothing going on between Ali and Pooja. Huda swears he’ll get Pooja to go to Ali’s room tonight and Yudi volunteers to be there as a witness. I expected better of you, Yudi, but it’ll be awhile before you develop the courage to stand up to Huda.

In Naina’s room she finds Huda’s peace offering on the bed. A sorry note and an entire plant torn up from the garden in place of flowers. Very smooth, Huda.

Naina confronts him and Meenal storms off, upset - somehow Huda’s explanation of his mother telling him to give Naina flowers after seeing her hanging from a tree didn’t cut it.

Meanwhile Huda continues to be a creep by grabbing Naina and pretending he’ll kiss her by force while a couple of boys stand in the background creepily wanting to see. Now I remember why I really hated his character at the beginning. Huda is an amalgamation of all of the traits that annoy me most in boys and here he crosses the line (and the show never really acknowledges just bad his behaviour here really is, it’s always regarded as ‘boys will be boys’ but it’s one of the reasons I could never have supported Naina ending up with him).

Pooja arrives just then to ask Naina for her mobile back and Naina, after the day she has had, quite understandably storms off.

In the girls hostel, Lolitaji finds that Huda has upended an entire garden on Meenal’s bed.

Pooja is now sneaking past the guard and to the boys’ hostel, having fallen for a note that Rohit will be waiting in Ali’s room.

It goes about as well as you could expect with Pooja storming in excitedly, a shirtless Ali embarassedly trying to get rid of her, and Yudi deciding to leave to give them some privacy.

Ali finally convinces Pooja to leave, harshly telling her that being from Kanpur he’s not used to all of this. She is upset, telling him she thought of him as a friend, and finally goes.

The other three boys arrive, Huda telling Ali that he’s dashed his hope and sullied Kanpur’s name. Ali grabs Huda and tells him that he knows he’s responsible and he’s crossed his limits. Huda shouldn’t try to take advantage of his decency or he might forget it. (And speaking of decency, Ali is about the only one who shows it in this episode).

In the morning as they get ready, Ali tells Alekh that it doesn’t matter to him what the rest of him do but he’s come here to fulfill his dreams and become an officer. If something happens then Huda’s father will open a factory for him but Ali and Alekh’s fathers can’t do anything more than this for them.

Alekh replies darkly that he doesn’t have a father.

In front of Suriji and Lolitaji, Meenal throws Huda under the bus and says he’s not her boyfriend and he’s been bothering her. Suriji takes him away for punishment.

Raj’s assistant has arrived, Lieutenant Bunty Chaubey, he passes on Naina’s real address and phone number and tells Raj he’ll be posted to the academy for the time being as a cool.

Raj calls the number and Naina’s mother picks up, stating her name as Mrs Ahluwalia when he asks. Raj starts to put two and two together about Naina ‘Ah’ Singh.

Summary: not one of my favourite episodes, mainly because I want to hit Huda in the face.

[leftrightleftallthetime]

Episode 10 or I really really love this episode

Episode link: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eNxGYSeKURA

The episode begins with Naina hanging upside down from a tree. Why? Because Major Nair.

Major Nair tells her that she will not come down from the tree until he dismisses her and Naina agrees. Her batch mates watch, uncomfortable with what is happening (except for Huda, who is smirking).

Pooja comments that she had also left Alekh, this could have been her punishment as well. Huda passes some smart comments and Ali tells him that if they can’t help they can at least all keep quiet. The cadets all head off with the exception of Alekh.

Alekh comes to face Naina, speaking to her.

“It’s your first time, that do why I’m giving you some advice. I have experience, this public won’t understand. What’s inside you, in your mind and heart, that will support you. Keep faith in that.”

(Of course, Alekh actually says all of that in Tapori style but I can’t write it properly like that). He leaves Naina then but for the first time they’ve started to understand each other.

Major Nair asks Brigadier Chandook if he made a mistake. The Brigadier is reluctant as it’s the first month for the cadets but Major Nair convinces him.

A rather exuberant Punjabi woman bursts into Brigadier Chandook’s cabin and asks who he is. It turns out that she’s Parminder Kaur, Huda’s mummy. She tells him that seeing him she thinks that the cadets won’t be missing their daddies 😂 she asks him to sit down and asks why there’s a girl hanging from a tree outside. Brigadier Chandook tells her she’s not allowed to meet Huda but Huda ki mummyji ki personality is such that she gets her way and he sends her to the visitor’s room to wait.

Raj comes across Naina hanging from the tree. He asks her what mistake she made and she replies that she’s being punished for leaving her partner. She tells him that it was Major Nair’s punishment and Raj’s face says everything that he would like to.

Raj tells her that as she’s realised her mistake and won’t make it again she can come down, she’s dismissed. Naina refuses as she’s there on Major Nair’s orders and only he can dismiss her.

Raj: “To hell with Major Nair!”

Major Nair, arriving, “Thank you Captain, I don’t have any wish to go to heaven. But how did you know that?”😂

Raj is outraged and tells Major Nair he can’t give the cadets such a harsh punishment in the first month as Naina calls out that she’ll continue the punishment.

Raj: “Would you shut up, Cadet Singh!”

Raj and Major Nair continue to argue with Raj telling him that he’ll break the cadets with his training. Major Nair dismisses Naina from the punishment.

Raj helps her down from the tree and tells her he’ll get her water but Naina says she doesn’t need his help and refuses his hand to get up. She tells him she won’t be broken by the training and tries to make her way back to the hostel, collapsing on the way. Raj picks her up and carries her to Dr Shalini’s office.

Meanwhile Yudi has come to Ali’s room to celebrate their victory. They discuss Alekh and Yudi says that he’s intelligent, he did a great job fixing the pump.

Alekh comes back and Yudi offers him some chocolates, Alekh says this is children’s food and he won’t eat it. Ali tells him to eat it to make the children happy. 😂

Yudi has a leg cramp and Alekh offers him some alcohol but Ali stops him and goes to get hot water and salt.

Shalini checks Naina over and jokes that Naina must be remembering her ex-boyfriends in her sleep and wishing she’d chosen one of them while Raj looks like he’d like to be anywhere but there. He asks Shalini if she’s ever serious and she tells him she always is in matters of love and romance.

He asks if he can transfer Naina to her room in this state and Shalini tells him that he can... in the same way he brought her, in his arms. Seeing his expression she comments that he’a very easily embarrassed.

Raj picks Naina up and after a few more comments from Shalini they’re on their way.

Huda meets his mummyji and when she tells him about Naina being in the tree he lies it was because she didn’t come first. Seeing them together, it’s very obvious how Huda became so spoiled. She reminds him of their bet that he’ll become an army officer while Huda is concerned about his father’s cow shed and buffaloes.

Back to Alekh and Yudi, Alekh taunts him into drinking the alcohol by telling him it’s a man’s medicine. Ali walks in just as Yudi is finishing the bottle. Too late to stop him now!

Pooja is on the phone to her mother when Captain Rajveer calls out for her to open the door. As they’re not allowed mobiles in the academy she quickly hides it in Naina’s jacket and lets him in - only to be smitten by the sight of him carrying Naina in.

She asks what happened to Naina and Raj asks if she’ll move aside. He puts Naina down on the bed and starts removing her shoes when Pooja tells him that he reminded her of a scene from Veer Zara. The shoe almost goes flying out the window. Pooja keeps talking until Raj asks her to go outside.

Adjusting Naina’s pillow, Raj spots the back of the photo she’s hidden beneath it, noticing it’s from a studio that used to take the cadets photos and is now closed. He wonders what photo she has from there.

Memorable moments: So many! I remember this was the first episode that really got me hooked to the show. Of note - Naina and Alekh bonding, Raj’s rather famous carrying of Naina through KMA and Shalini’s teasing.

[leftrightleftallthetime]

Episodes 4-5

Episode 4-5: strangely there are no episode links available online for these. I do have downloaded copies somewhere and I’ll try to pull them out and reupload them but for now I really remember in episode 4, Naina dobs Huda in and Alekh calling her a khabri for that.

Somewhere in these two episodes, Dr Ritu Mishra arrives in her saris and the continuation of the show’s early hangover from Main Hoon Na.

They are all tricked into turning up for a ragging session with their seniors who are nasty pieces of work. Huda flirts with one of the girls and Alekh is initially uninterested in getting involved. Yudi tries to escape and is subsequently sent to steal one of Captain Shalini’s bras.

The seniors demand that the girls dance for them and Ali steps in to protest. They tell him to kiss Pooja and it leads to a fight with him being beaten by the older cadets. Naina grabs Alekh and tells him that if he hates khabri types then to go and fight for one of his own. He throws himself into it wholeheartedly then, hitting them with chairs, whatever is on hand.

At the end, Major Nair comes to break up the fight and sends Alekh to solitary confinement.

Edit: I managed to upload the videos I had saved of episodes 4 and 5 so you can watch them here:

Episode 6 - or the one where our cadets start to actually bond

Episode link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paWk9XBuO1A

Alekh is taken away and the cadets protest the injustice of it, telling Major Nair how unfair it is. Huda is still unbothered and still an ass, and Naina tells him that it’s all his fault.

Yudi arrives back as Pooja is trying to clean the blood off Ali’s face and is shocked at their state. He tells them he was sent to steal Dr Shalini’s... shoes.

Ali: “You were sent to steal shoes and I’ve just eaten them.” (Poor Ali).

Yudi asks Huda where ‘Sheru’ is and is told that he’s been sent to solitary confinement for trying to save them.

Ali collapses on the way to the hostel and they decide to take him to the infirmary instead, Yudi makes a quick exit, not wanting to see Dr Shalini. Shalini asks if they've been ragging or rioting.

Ali will be fine with just bruising and Shalini catches Yudi once he returns to check on his friend.

“Arre Tum?”

“No ma’am, mein nahin!”

Shalini asks why he looks so stressed and they discuss the ragging, Pooja nearly lets the cat out of the bag but Yudi gets away in the end, telling her he’ll wait outside.

“Why don’t you take a tablet?”

“No ma’am, I’m allergic.”

“To which medicine?”

“Lots of them ma’am!”

The next morning in the mess, Huda offers to get Raj a cup of coffee asking for a chance to serve him ‘seva ka mauka’.

Raj says he’s heard that Huda only ever serves his own interests.

The other cadets give Huda the cold shoulder on arrival and he tries to win them over by buying them coffee. Ali tells him to keep his wealth to himself and Huda makes an excuse that he’s celebrating the birthday of Rajesh - his buffalo.

Captain Rajveer asks them what happened last night (you can tell it’s early in the show because they actually try to stand up to respond to him) and they share the story.

Raj uses it to teach them, while they have spoken about unity, they have left one of their soldiers behind. Just as soldiers must take responsibility for their army, so must the army for all its soldiers.

A parcel arrives for Naina and she grabs it quickly, tearing the card with her name on it and throwing out the present. Raj asks her what happened and she gives an excuse that her friends have sent a cake to congratulate her. Spotting the torn card on the ground, Raj sees the ‘Ah’ of Naina’s surname.

Pooja is excited because Raj is taking their class, comparing him to ‘Veer’. Naina ends up in trouble due to Pooja and Huda each distracting her. Raj gives the cadets a code and asks them to crack it (it’s a rather ridiculous code that makes no sense).

Ali points out that Alekh won’t have a chance to solve it and Raj says he’ll drop the homework to him so he doesn’t miss out.

Raj stops Dr Mishra in the corridor to chat about his first teaching experience, trying to find out information about what she thinks of the cadets and their entry interviews.

Major Nair asks Captain Rajveer why he went to see Alekh knowing he’s in solitary confinement to which Raj replies that just because a cadet in solitary confinement can’t go to meet anyone, it doesn’t mean nobody can meet them 😂

Suriji goes to bring Alekh’s food to him and Alekh asks for rum.

“This is a military academy”

“So military rum will do”

Meanwhile the cadets try to solve the code together but end up discussing Alekh and how unfair it is, he is really a true friend.

Ali argues that they should do something for Alekh, he’s determined to raise his voice against injustice. Yudi attempts to make an exit and Ali stops him, this is about supporting a friend.

Naina tells them they’ll have to make a strategy first and Huda warns them what they’re planning is considered traitorous.

[leftrightleftallthetime]

Episode 56 or Raj returns but Alekh is the real MVP here

Episode link: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2MTnju-4DKc

Naina is trying to exercise but is still weak. Huda asks why she’s punishing herself when they’re anyway going to be punished in an hour.

Huda asks if he didn’t save her from the Major? Naina says he did but he must have had a motive for it and asks who the man was that he met in the jungle.

Naina asks if he came to save her then why didn’t he support her? She knows that he misguided her in the forest. Huda says he’ll tell her everything but he can’t do so now, he promises he’ll tell her tomorrow.

Naina tells him that her mission was only incomplete because of him and that nothing had better happen to the Captain.

//

In the hospital Bunty is asking about Raj and is told that he should be up soon but is under medication at the moment. Bunty goes to the room to find that Raj isn’t in his bed - our Captain is already up and dressed.

Raj asks if Bunty gave the code to Naina and when he confirms he did, Raj asks him to find out who else she had given the code to.

BC addresses the cadets, telling them that they received news that Captain Rajveer had died, or as one cadet felt that he might be alive. He points out that in wartime they will receive news like this about their comrades and they must learn how to handle it and not break their chain of command, as that can be dangerous for all. They must learn discipline and not to break the rules.

Major Nair tells them about the five remaining punishments they’ll undergo.

They are going to have to crawl through a muddy trench with barbed wire over the top with weights on their ankles (which the Major says will teach them their status). They’re in pairs and if the first one fails to do 5 rounds in 2 minutes their partner will need to do 10 rounds.

Raj arrives to interrogate the terrorist he caught. He wakes him by throwing water in his face. Raj says that his location was known only to this own man, but after two days of waiting they were the ones to arrive alongside one of his trusted cadets.

If the information was only with two people how did they get it?

//

Back at the academy the cadets are completing their punishment; Naina, Pooja and Huda are currently doing the rounds while their partners wait. Major Nair taunts Naina as she tries to complete the task.

Pooja struggles and Ali tells her he’s ready, if she can’t do it then he’ll complete the task (moments like these I really do love Ali) but Pooja struggles on determinedly.

Major Nair continues taunting Naina, telling her she must be wishing Captain Rajveer was alive to save her. Alekh looks on angrily.

Huda makes it on time, saving Yudi from 5 extra rounds. Major Nair says that he’ll give Naina a minute more in salute to her spirit, is it the spirit to become a soldier or something to do with Captain Rajveer, a special relationship with him that caused her to search for him in the jungle? Distracted, Naina hits her head on the barbed wire, causing her wound to start bleeding again.

Pooja makes it on time and Ali helps her out. Alekh watches worriedly as Naina struggles.

She just misses out on making it in time and Major Nair gloats, telling her that there’s no room for weak cadets in the army as they only let down their comrades.

Alekh gives Naina his hand, helping her out and supports her. He tells her not to worry, Nair has never dealt with a Qaidi before, he doesn’t know how much Alekh can endure. He’ll do the ten rounds easily.

And that ladies and gentlemen, is Alekh Sharma, who would gladly die for his friends or do anything to help them. This is a memorable moment because it really is the cementing of their friendship, from this point onwards we do see them always turn to each other for support.

//

Raj speaks to his senior on the phone, telling them that it’s now clear that they’ve managed to turn one of the cadets who gave them his location and cut his jeep. They must know that he’s a special intelligence officer. Raj promises to find out the identity and hangs up just as Bunty delivers the cleaned up photo from the night of the fresher’s ball. Bunty tells him that Naina told two people the code, Alekh and Huda, and urges him to open the envelope.

We see Raj looking at the photo.

[leftrightleftallthetime]

Episode 55 or Naina manages to save her Captain (but not bring him back)

Episode link: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-pNgHNVJBXQ

“Run Sir!” Naina calls out as Raj looks towards her. They lock eyes as the terrorists begin to fire again, Naina ducking away. She tells him to run once more, repeating his words back that as long as there is hope there is breath.

Raj is in a daze and Naina finally collapses from her head wound just as he pulls himself up, tackling one terrorist and managing to throw himself down the hill away from them. Huda picks Naina up and takes her away.

Neelu and her Dad are apparently playing a game (not sure how you can play a Disney movie as a game, lazy production team!) when Brigadier Chandok comes to check on Mr Sahni. Oh oh. He’s not impressed with her lies to say the least.

Major Nair finds the jeep that Huda ‘borrowed’ just as Huda emerges from the jungle carrying an unconscious Naina. He’s exhausted from apparently carrying her through the night, and salutes Major Nair then promptly collapses himself.

//

Back at the academy, Shalini tells BC she won’t allow him to do what he has planned as Naina has lost a lot of blood but BC says she can’t stop him. He’s incredibly angry about the breaking of the academy’s discipline and tells Shalini to let him know as soon as her wound is dressed. He wants to show them it’s unacceptable to break the rules for the sake of one soldier.

//

In the mess, Yudi tells them that Neelu’s lie has been caught and now they’ll all be punished again. Pooja tells Alekh to cut BC’s signal and Ali points out that Major Nair will do it anyway.

Naina comes in, her head bandaged, and they all cheer for her. She goes to stand with Alekh, smiling at him and he touches her head. Huda asks why they aren’t cheering for him and Pooja comments if Naina hadn’t been there he wouldn’t have come back as the terrorists would have taken him away.

Pooja asks if Naina saw Captain Rajveer, she says that she did for a moment but then... she hopes he’s safe. Huda says he will he since she warned him on time and Naina becomes angry at him. Huda praises her but Naina isn’t impressed at his words.

Huda tells them that Naina told him she loved him last time and she becomes even angrier, accusing him of trying to stop her from reaching Captain Rajveer. Naina says that she doesn’t know what game he’s playing with her but if something happens to the Captain...

Huda tries to go after her and Alekh stops him, saying that he’ll have to give an answer but Huda says nobody has the right to question him but Naina. As he goes, Alekh comments that he’ll show Huda.

//

In BC’s office he asks Huda if what is written in the report is correct and he says yes.

BC then asks Naina and she tells the Brigadier that she had seen Captain Rajveer and he was attacked by terrorists. She tried to reach him but was injured and if a rescue mission had been sent at the right time...

BC says that Naina had seen neither Captain Rajveer or terrorists, it must have been poachers. He tells them that they and their batchmates will be punished shortly and dismissed them.

Naina tells him she won’t be dismissed so easily and again argues that she has seen the Captain and that if something happens to him then they will be responsible. If something happens to him then she won’t let it be concealed within the academy.

//

In the jungle we see Raj lying motionless on the ground as a terrorist approaches him. He’s been feigning unconsciousness and he manages to grab the man’s gun and apprehend him, stopping him from taking a suicide pill.

Grabbing a radio from the man’s pocket, Raj changes the frequency and dials for help.
