Light is shinning in the room but the two people inside are still under a deep slumber. Naina is under Rajveer's arms and she is holding his arms under her own, clutching it like her life depends on their existence.

Suddenly a phone rang and both of them opened their eyes in panic. The terror in Naina's eyes is something which is scaring Rajveer.

Rajveer patted her head, "Shuhhh... Naina... it's just phone call. Ek min mai dekhta hun"

She kept holding him while he took the call. It is Col. Chandra.

Col. Chandra: Captain... it's the same group we were following. We managed to get rid of all those who are involved in the attack.

Rajveer: Great Sir.

Col. Chandra: Good job Captain. You have shown real courage last night.

Rajveer took another look at Naina who is clutching his another arm, "thanks sir. I have a request. Can I take a day off today? If it ok?"

Col. Chandra: Rajveer, how is Naina?

Rajveer: she is shaken sir.

Col. Chandra: it ok Captain. Take a day off. Anyways we have completed everything pending last night. Whole team will be taking it easy today. We will manage your absence.

Rajveer: thanks a lot sir.

He then looked to her. She is looking at him with scared puppy eyes. He patted her head and smiled.

The phone rang again and it's Naveen. Rajveer understood that he called in to check on Naina. He handed over the phone to her.

Naina picked up seeing Naveen's name flashing on screen.

Naina: Hello, Bhaiya.

Naveen: Naina ...bacha kaise hai tu? Thik to hai na? Ghar par koi hai tere sath? Akeli to nai hai na tu?

Naina : Bhaiya vo... Rajveer abhi ghar par hi hai.

Naveen: acha. De use phone.

She gave it to him and went to washroom to freshen up.

Rajveer took the phone and comes outside the room, "Han Naveen. Tu thik hai na? Kal tujhse bat hi nai ho pai"

Naveen: Mai thik hu bhai. Naina kaise hai?

Rajveer: she is in shock. Kal rat se jyada kuch bol hi nai rahi hai. Maine chutti le li hai aj. Dekhta hu if she will feels better by evening.

Naveen: Han tu bat kar usse. Mujhe lagta hai ki if she lets out what she went through, use better lagega. Mai bhi try karta hu posting ke lie jane se pahle tum logo se ek bar mil ke jau.

Rajveer: Han tu aayega to use acha lagega.

Naveen: Yar, plz dhyan rakh uska. She has no one else Rajveer. Chal rakhta hu. Bye.

Rajveer just kept looking on the call. Naina really do not have anyone to share what happened with her today. He is sure he might not be the first person whom with she will be sharing everything.....so he decided on a plan.
—————————————————————————

Rajveer is busy in the kitchen making khichdi for both of them. He asked Naina to take rest today and she is sitting outside in their small garden to enjoy greenery and peace.

The phone was ringing from some time but Naina is not budging from her place. Rajveer was calling her to take it up. Finally it got disconnected.

He washed his hands and went on to check who called. There are two missed calls from one unknown number and recent one is different number but still unknown.

Rajveer called in the recent one and the call was from a call Center to sell him some personal loan. He disconnected the call frustratingly and turned to move to the kitchen when the telephone ring
again filled the room.

He realised its Naina's and its a unknown number. But he had a hunch who it might be so he gave the phone to Naina.

Naina looked at with with curios eyes and picked up the phone.

Caller: Hello.. Hello..
Naina: Hello...Kaun?

The opposite person has stopped speaking and Naina is intrigued. Rajveer has already left for kitchen and Naina is left with the cell phone.

The phone start ringing again and this time Naina picked it up after a single ring.

Caller: Phone lekar hi baithi thi kya? Aur kya kar rahi hai tu?  Training me mai hu aur khatron se tu khel rahi hai?

Naina: Pooja..tu...kaise?

Pooja: kaise matlab kya? Tere pati ne inform karvaya tha academy me mujhe ki kal kya hua tha aur ki mai tujhse bat kar lu.

Naina in an amazed voice, "Rajveer ne.."

Pooja: Han. Tu kaise hai Naina? Kya hua tha? Sach me kisi kamine terrorist ne tujhe pakad lia tha?

Naina: Han Yar. Hume na sach me laga ki bas aj meri kahani khatam. I was feeling numb.

Pooja: fir kya hua?

Naina: fir kya? Ek dum se 2 gun shots ki aawaz ayi aur humne dekha ki Rajveer was standing with a gun on that terrorist.

Pooja: kya???

Naina: Han. Fir another gun shot happened from another direction and Rajveer had to hide.

Pooja: hide nai.. use cover lena kahte hai

Naina: ohh... hume to laga ki now I am actually gone. Ek second ke lie mujhe bahut disappointment hui. Par fir laga ki it's good that at least he will be safe.

Pooja: Pagal ..cover lena matlab to save ourselves from direct line of fire. He didn't left you leaving high and dry.

Naina: yeah that I understood later. Fir kuch kia unsabne aur fir se gun shot ki away ayi.

Pooja: then?

Naina: that terrorist was shot dead by Rajveer.

Pooja: woww!! Yar aj tab ye sab bas case studies me padhte the hum. Tera pati to hero nikla yar!!

Naina chuckled, " sach batau, hume bhi kal aisa hi lag rha tha"

Pooja: he he he... acha ek bat bata tujhe dar nai laga?

Naina: dar....Pooja hum bata nai sakte ki kis halat se guzre the. Aisa lag rha tha ki humari zindagi sari humari aakhon se samne se guzar rahi hai aur hum chah ke bhi tham nai sakte use.

Pooja: I am sorry Yar ki tujhe un halato se guzarna pada.

Naina: Han par shayad ye itna bhi bura nai tha

Pooja: matlab?

Naina: matlab hume vaise dekh kar Rajveer ko ye ahsaas to hua ki vo humse ab pyar karne lage hai.

Pooja: WHAT????
