The next day morning, Kabir came to the washroom and quickly recalling everything that Rajveer had told Alekh, he made way for the reporters to get ready first. Kabir and others got ready in their training uniforms provided by the academy and left for the ground. While leaving he met Rajveer on the way. He looked at Rajveer, all ready in his training uniform. He realized how they looked the same but still the uniform looked much better on Rajveer, it looked more smart on Rajveer than compared to him. Rajveer looked at Kabir, he just adored seeing him.

Rajveer: Good morning..Kabir..

Kabir: Wow!

Kabir had gotten a little carried away, it was the first time he had seen Rajveer in training uniform. He always used to love seeing Rajveer in his uniform, but he had only seen him 2-3 times in all these years in his uniform!

Rajveer: accha laga?

Kabir: Superb..

He realised what just happened. He looked at Rajveer again. His eyes that were filled with love and admiration once again went back to being filled with hate and detest. Rajveer saw the change in him and realised he had went back to the old Kabir, the one which hates Rajveer. Rajveer just smiled.

Rajveer: jaanta hu Kabir ki tum nahi chahte ki mai tumhare aas paas rahu, isiliye mai khamosh hoke tumhare zindagi se chala gaya..par mere bhai, itna bhi nafrat mat kar mujhse, itna bhi dooor na jaa ki tujhe yeh bhi na pata chale ki mai zinda bhi hu ya mar gaya..

Kabir: pehli baat, mujhe aap apna bhai mat bulaiye! Aur doosri, mujhe koi farak nahi padta ki aap jiyo ya maro!

Rajveer: Theek hai..jaisa tum chaho.. jaise jeeni hai tumhe apni zindagi jiyo..par Kabir, jis din mai mar jau, uss din please tum mujhe maaf kardena..unn sab cheezo ke liye jo maine kiye hai aur unn sab cheezo ke liye jo maine nahi kiye hai..apne taraf se mere liye saare feeling mita dena..chahe woh pyar ke ho ya nafrat ke..

Kabir looked at him, his eyes stone cold. Rajveer smiled and walked away.

Kabir: (in his mind) yeh marne ki baat kyu kar rahe hai..mujhe kya! Mujhe kaunse feelings hai inke liye jo! Mai chalta hu! Kaam bhi toh karna hai!

Kabir left to the ground. While leaving his other reporters came and joined him. Rajveer saw how they all came to Kabir and how they started talking about work.

Kabir: Sunny paaji apna camera ko stable karke record karne ki koshish karna, thoda angle bhi dekh lena aur light bhi ho, sab kaale kaale nahi dikhne chahiye, sab ke faces dikhne chahiye..aur Ronnie..dekho Sunny jo bhi video banaye uss ko tum aur stable kar dena aur dekhna ki..

Their talks continued. Rajveer smiled and thought to himself.

Rajveer: (in his mind) Kabir kitna bada ho gaya hai..mai jis mission pe hu, jo jo information aa rahi hai unn logo ke baare me joh log Naveen ke maut ke peeche the, waise waise yeh mission aur khatarnak hote jaa raha hai..jaan ka jokhim toh hota hi hai military ke job me par jis rah pe mai abhi nikla hi pata nahi kyu par zyada khatarnak hote jaa raha hai yeh raasta..maine Naina ko sab kuch bol toh diya hai hi..aur Kabir ko ek baar aur manane ki koshish bhi kar chuka hu..ab jo hoga dekha jayega..

Rajveer smiled. Then a hand came on his shoulder. Rajveer got shocked and turned back and discovered his super 6 standing behind him. He smile.

Rajveer: Ha bolo!

This voice broke Kabir's conversation. He and his other reporters started looking towards Rajveer.

Alekh: Sir aapne jaise bola tha waise hi kiya apun logo ne..jaane diya uss Kabir aur uske baaki logo ko pehle tayar hone ke liye..
