In an unknown location

"Main ab or nahin dekh sakta. Hey uparwale... kis baat ki saza de rahe ho aap? Kya maine itna bada gunah kar diya ki mujhse saari khushiyan chheen lo.... Ab to bas karo.. kyun mujhe itna majboor bana rakha hai ki sab kuchh dekhne ke baad bhi mai kuchh nahi kar paa raha..." (I can't see all this anymore. God.... what are you punishing me for? Have I comminted such a big crime that you took away all my happiness? Please.. stop now.... Why have you made me so helpless that even after seeing everything, I can't do a single thing...) He slid down the wall and sobbed endlessly. 

"Bhai nahin... ye kya kar rahe hein aap? Aise kaise haar sakte hein aap huh? Itni jaanein apse judi hai.... or aap.... Yaad rakhiyega jis din aap haar kar peechhe hat gaye na... us din in sab ko bachane wali dhal peechhe hategi... or wo pal apke liye is maut se badtar hoga.... Isliye uthiye... chaliye..." (Brother no, what are you even doing? And how can you give up like this, huh? So many lives are connected to you and you..... Just remember, the day you retreat after losing... that day the shield that protects them all will retreat... and that moment will be worse for you than this death.... So get up... come on...) She tried to console him and knock some sense in him.

"Bachche dekh na mere Veeru ko... kya halat hai iski... are mujhe iska hasta hua chehra dekhne ki adat hai... iski bakbak sunne ki adat hai... par ye aadmi jo mere saamne hai...." (Kiddo... just look at my Veeru... look at his condition... I am used to seeing his smiling face... I am used to listening to his blabbering.... but this man in front me....) he paused and looked towards the patient. 

"Iski ye halat mujhse dekhi nahin jaa rahi hai... ye itni needles... itni tubes... yaha tak ki iski dhadkane bhi ye ecg ki beep mujhe bata rahi... mera yaar zinda hai iska saboot ye reports or machines de rahi hai... mere yaar ki khilkhilati hasi nahin...." (This condition of him is becoming unbearable for me.... So many needles... so many tubes.... Even as his heart beats, these ECG beeps are telling me....  My friend is alive us proved not by his laughter but because of these reports and machines...) And then he shivered involuntarily.

"Or meri gudiya.... meri gudiya.... meri bachchi..... kyun.... kya itna sab kuchh maine isliye saha tha ki meri bachchi ki khushiyan chhin jaye...? Wo waqt se pehle hi badi ho jaye...? Mujhe to bahut dar lagta hai ye soch kar ki jise maine apni bachchi... apni jaan ki tarah sahej kar rakha tha... kya us Captain Naina mein aaj bhi meri gudiya zinda hai??? Ya maine uski bhi jaan le li..???" (And my baby girl... my child... my baby sister... God why... did I do all this so that my sister's happiness could be snatched away? So that she had to grow up before her age? I am so terrified just by the mere thought of the fact... that the girl who I kept so safe and pampered.... is that little girl still alive in Captain Naina? Or did I lose her too.....) Naveen kept weeping bitterly. With every passing minute... with every passing hour, he was losing his hopes bit by bit. He was now beginning to doubt that the happy ending that he imagined after he survived... will it become true or shatter into a million pieces.

On the gates of KMA

"Guys this place is still giving me the same vibes. It is still making me jittery..." Yudi said while staring beyond the gates.

"Jis din pehli baar is darwaze ke andar apun ne kadam rakha tha.. apun ne socha nahi tha ki apun ki zindagi is tarah mud jayegi.... akha life-ich badal di apun ki is jagah ne.." (The day I first stepped through this gate.... I never thought that my life would change the way it has.... This place changed the entire course of my life....) Alekh whispered.

"Oye tum sab group chatting band karo... or jaldi 'enter' button ko press karo..." (Hey, all of you, stop this group chatting... and quickly press 'Enter' button) Pooja constantly jumping on her toes out of excitement. But Naina just kept staring....
