"Main help kardu..." a sweet dulcet voice came from behind...

Rajveer smiled without turning, and gave her the bowl he was holding....

Soon she engrossed herself in heating it up and chopping the veggies, to make salad for him, without uttering any words...

Naina - " yeh lijiye...
Aur tablet rakha he..
Aap aaj ander so jaayiye....." saying this she kept the tray in front of him...

Raj - " main yaha hall mein hi..." before he could complete his words, his phone rang...

Raj - " Hello, lt. Ud...
Maine mail kardiya he us case ki details...." he went towards the balcony, explaining about the mission he was thrown out because of Naina...

20 minutes later....

After a heated conversation,
Rajveer stepped inside the kitchen and found the tray as it is...
He took it and moved towards his sleeping area switching on the TV....

Raj - " yeh match shuru bhi hogayiii...." saying this he was about to settle on the couch,

" Aahaaahhhh...
Bhaiiii........ "

Naina jumped from the couch, shouting for putting weight on her....

Raj - " tum yaha???..." said lighting few more bulbs....

Naina - " Maine bola toh tha...ki aap ander so jaayiye...." whispered....

Rajveer observed her carefully...
Her eyes were lowered and hands playing with a tendrile....

Rajveer - " I'm feeling better now..."

Naina - " nahi aap..." she slowly lifted her eyes up, then looking at the untouched tray,
"Aur, yeh kyaa apne soup finish nii ki???.... " taking it from his hand,
" Firse ise garam karna padega ab...
Hmm....
Aap coffee piyenge????..." asked raising single eye brow..

Raj - " black coffee without suger and....Jamal gota..." replied with a Stern face,
muttering the last word intentionally....

Naina looked everywhere expect him... feeling guilty for her kartoot...

Raj - " tum kitne chamach logi....shakkar???..." then moving towards kitchen,
" yaa fir chocolate ice cream...." asked with a small smile..

Naina - " ice cream...."

Raj giving her the whole tub,
" take your own time...
Zindagi tumhari he....
Hadbadi mein faisla lene ki koyi.... "

Naina - " kabhi na kabhi kadam aage badhna hi he toh ab kyu nahiii...
I know ki maine extreme behave kiya, lekin....I can't...."

Raj - " separate your mind and heart from him..." he completed her words, giving permission to escape a loan tear from his left eye...

Naina - " haa....lekin iske liye main apne Bhai ko nii rota hua dekh sakti..." said getting emotional remembering the evil events happening around her from last 1 year...

Raj - " lekin kuch dard aise hote he jiske aahat se aankh ka aansu khatam ho jaata he..."

Naina saw him with a confused face....

Raj - " jab tumne suicide attempt kiya...tab,
Navu ne bhi koshish ki thi... " said in a low voice, not having strength to recite the nightmarish scenes again...

Naina - " woh aise kaise kar sakte he???... " she holded the tub tightly to control herself, listening to him...

Raj - " kyunki tum uski duniyaa ho...." he stood there, leaning to the kitchen counter,watching her changing expressions, not wanting to leave her alone in this situation...

Seeing her sitting like a tombstone, Raj snatched the spoon struggling between her fingers, screaming to breath,
" Ice cream melt ho raha he..
Khaa loo....
You will feel better...." said stuffing her mouth...

Naina silently took it inside her mouth and finished the whole tub along with the confusions gushing inside her brain...

Raj dumped the empty box inside the dust bin... with a grin...

Ladakh....

1am...

Naveen again flipped himself squeezing Shalini's hand in reflex...

Shalu - " Navz.... Mere periods on he..
Please Bahar jaake apne kaam niptavoo..." murmurred and pulled the blanket to herself.

Navu - " kyaa din aagaye mere ..
Seede kaam sochne pe bhi yese baatein sunne padh rahe he...
Waha mera bechara Veeru....Sherni ke muh mein hath daalke baita he.." murmuring he called Raj...
After 5 min of struggle, Raj picked up the call....

Navu - " Veeru, so raha he???...."

Raj - " nii...
Main raath ke...." checking the time,
" 1 baje, jaadu laga raha hu...
Tu aayegaa...." said lazily moving towards the kitchen....to have water..

Navu - " aaj mere Commanding officer gayab Tha...warna zaroor chaar lagadeta gaal pe pyaar se...
Aur aajata tumhare pass.....
Monitor karne...."

Raj - " ek kaam Kar tu, abhi uske quarters ghus jaa...
Aur tamache maar le..."

Navu - " Mera toofan kyaa Kar raha he..." asked suddenly....

Raju - " neend mein he ab..."

Navu - " jhoot math bol...
kuch toh halla machaya hoga usne..."

Raj - " woh...."

Navu - " bolna..."

Raj - " Maine...."

Raj - " Maine jhoot bola ki tumne suicide karne ki koshish ki..."

Navu - " Maine kab ki???...
Are, mere jaan pe kyu tune talwar rakh diya...
Achcha khasa zinda aadmi ko kyu murda banane pe tula he tu...."

Raj - " chup...
Maine bola ki tumne us din suicide karne ki koshish ki aur usne yeh baath...." before he could continue his words, he heard...

Breaking sound of something....
May be some glasses....

He turned to see....the cause of noise creater in this ghostly time....and shocked looking at the Saakshat Ghost of their life...

It was Naina....

Standing at the doorz holding the wall for support....eyes filled with some red colored emotions, breathing shallowly...

Navu - " bolna kyaa hua???....
Woh awaz....."

Raj - " Naina..." he was only able to utter her name...as his mind was busy in analysing how to hide himself from upcoming game of thrones....
