Present ( night )
"Lo ho gaya syapa yahan..," Naveen muttered patting his forehead
🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
Habitually Raina lay down next to each other though turning their sides in anger but the way their backs were touching slightly.
"Kahin Rajveer Sir sach mein to Capt. Monika se pyar..nahin nahin.. aisa nahi ho sakta...kyun nahin ho sakta, Naina..She is beautiful, mature, sensible & courageous too..kya kami hai unme...koi bhi person easily taiyar ho jaye...Phir yahan to dono same rank bhi share karte hain..Won't it be perfect??," With this piercing thought of her own, Naina turned the side feeling really restless
"Kya Naina Chauhan se...No, how can it be...Why not?? Rajveer...May be somewhere she is still unable to get over the fact that she lost her brother because of you. Have you forgot the way she used to feel comfortable around Abhi, used to be so friendly with him probably more than you then why not...," Rajveer thought lying still in the same condition. His heart felt a pang with this thought
"It may be perfect but kya hua...
Bhale hi unhone ab tak mujhse kuch na kaha ho...Bhale hi pahle mujhe kuch samajh na aaya ho..par ab main unki ankhon mein us pyaar ko saaf saaf dekh sakti hoon.. Mehsoos kar sakti hoon us care ko jo hamesha se rahi hai unke mann me mere liye aur phir wo kiss bhi to...," She blushed a little thinking this & turned again her side in hope
"It became past. Now how can you ignore her wistful eyes through which she always sees you these days. Her care, her concern for you, her heartbeat which becomes uneven in your proximity & that Kiss...how can you ignore all these things Rajveer," His eyes shined with this next notion in the chain of his thoughts
"Are you sure his love filled eyes is only for you! Those intense deep brown eyes doesn't belong to anyone else. His care..his concern is not only the genuine one which he has for all but all this is for you guided by his heart & that kiss..Aisa bhi to ho sakta hai that it was the result of the heat of the moment afterall he too is a man. yeah very very different from others but he also might have few human weaknesses...," As a reflection of her thought, her brows again knitted together & heartbeat increased with fear. She turned her side again
"Ye to hai..Phir wo kya tha jo maine dekha aur suna..Kya Naina apni feelings ko lekar confuse hai ya phir I am feeling like this just coz I felt jealous seeing her with Abhi...," in his dilemma Rajveer was frozened in the same condition while Naina was continuously turning her sides
"No, he can't..He is just so perfect..
lekin phir wo kya tha jo maine dekha..Kahin meri ankhon ka koi dhokha to nahi sirf isliye kyunki..
I..I couldn't see him with Capt. Monika because I was jealous..," With this thought Naina again took a turn which broke Rajveer's chain of thoughts as in the process her elbow hurt his back this time.
Rajveer turned & hovered over her pinning her to the ground clutching her both hands either sides of her head.
Naina shuddered with this sudden movement. His proximity gave pace to her heartbreat.
"Tum chup chap shanti se so nahi saktin kya..," Rajveer said in a grumpy voice raising his brows
"So to aap bhi nahi rahe hain..," Naina uttered in a low voice trying to control her accelerated heartbeat
"Haan, nahi so raha hoon lekin tumhari tarah lete lete dance bhi nahi kar raha hoon..," He spoke controlling his anger
"To kar lijiye..apko kisne roka hai," She stated merely in whisper
"Youuu..," He said gritting his teeth, leaving her one hand, showing her his index finger
"Whattt..," Naina asked with her thumping heart
"Nothingg..," Saying this he withdew himself from her with a jerk..sat up on his place moving his fingers through his hair while his one leg was folded through knee & the other one was touching to the ground
"Kahiye..kahiye..ruk kyun gaye..
nikal lijiye apni bhadas jo bhi hai..
Jis bhi vajah se hai..sham se vaise bhi attitude dikhaye ja rahe hain..," She uttered raising her voice a little though scared from inside
Look at the audacity of this girl. After messing up his brain badly.. after snatching his peace away from him again, she is raising her voice.
"All because of you...," He replied in the same tone
"Because of me..& what I did..," She asked in a compose voice while narrowing her brows
"Just leave it.. will talk about it tomorrow or some other time..abhi I want to sleep...," He said trying to lie down again turning his side
"No, I want to know right now that what I actually did..," Naina uttered stubbornly while trying to stop him from lying down through holding his arm pulling him towards her & he tried to snatch his arm away from her grip.
In their tug war, Naina fell on him. Now this was his time to skip his heartbreat. For sometime he forgot his anger & drowned in the moment.
"Tell me..I am eager to know..," She said in a meaningful voice forgetting the fact of their closeness in her stubbornness
"Naina..," He uttered tucking her falling hair locks behind her ears the way his fingers brushed on her cheeks slightly. His voice came out in a husky way ( something like this )
"Hmm..," leaning to his touch for few seconds she said further with determination, " I am waiting"
"Being your Mentor I have a small suggestion for you... I think you should grow up now..," He started saying
Naina screwed her brows unable to understand what he is up to saying this.
"Aap kahna kya chahte hain..," She asked skeptically
Both were talking lying in the same condition. No one was feeling the urgency of drifting away from each other.
"Look Naina...I know you are too young but..but not a child now...not of others but at least you should know about yourself...," His voice soft but words came out intermittently.
In the process of trying to find out proper words to convey his msg to her without hurting her, unknowingly his both hands rested on her thin waist & started moving rhythmically in their own way.
( Something like this )
"Matlab..," She asked inhaling deeply as an effect while narrowing her brows at the same time
"Matlab ye ki...you should be clear enough about yourself..about your feelings..your emotions..your likings-dislikings like tumhe kya achcha lagta hai kya nahin..Tum kya chahti ho kya nahi..kise pasand karti ho..kise nahin. Kisse Pyaa..I mean kise sirf dost manti ho aur kaun tumhare liye usse thoda badhkar hai...you know all these things..," Rajveer explained
His hands moved little above on her back with the procedure of his explanation though innocently not knowingly.
As a reflection Naina closed her eyes & clutched his shirt slightly in her fists while asking with her speedly heartbeat,
"Aur apko aisa kyun lagta hai ki I am confused on something..," She asked keeping her voice calm & compose though burning in anger from inside somewhere getting the idea of his notion.
She was experiencing mixed emotions. On one side his touch was making her loose in happiness while other side his talkings were working like fuel to the fire in her anger.
"Bus laga to bol diya. Dekho Naina it's not a big deal. It happens. Sabke sath hota hai kabhi na kabhi jab hum samajh nahi pate ki...," He couldn't complete coz cut off by her
"I understand Sir but Plzz batayie na..apko aisa kyun laga..I know aapne yunhi to nahi kaha..kuch to laga hoga apko..kuch to mehsoos kiya hoga aapne..mere bare mein," She asked bringing her face closer to his. Her voice deep.
Their eyes met & Rajveer felt goosebumps in his stomach.
She knew that he won't tell so easily therefore she thought to be little tricky
"Naina wo..," He spoke with difficulty coz her action raised the speed of his already increased heartbeat
"Plzz..," She uttered almost in a whisper in his ear
"Naina agar tum Cha..Chauhan ko li..like ya phir kisi aur ko..You know...agar..aisa kuch hai to..I mean koi..koi confusion then..You can sha..re with me..I..I.. would help you to decipher..," Rajveer spoke
His tongue trembled saying all this due to pain & due to her vicinity but he didn't want to be selfish.
Naina's brows frowned now. Her body started to shake in agitation. How can he think like that, what made him to think like this, she wanted to know so without changing her posture a little she asked further,
"Apko kaise pata ki main Abhi sir ko..," She asked gritting her teeth deliberately leaving the sentence incomplete coz she was not able to do so
"Wo aaj dekha tha maine tum dono ko sath mein baat karte hue aur...," He tried to speak with his clenched heart but again cut off by her
"Aap sach mein meri madad karenge..," She asked now directly looking into his eyes coz till now everything became clear to her
"Ye bhi koi punchne ki baat hai..I promise, Naina that I will..," He stated with difficulty
At once Naina gave an artificial smile then spoke all of a sudden,
"Then stop talking nonsense. Apki badi meharbani hogi..," Saying this she drifted away from him with a jerk
His eyes widened.
"Kuch bhi matlab kuch bhi..kuch bhi soche ja rahe hain..kuch bhi bole ja rahe hain jo mann me a rha hai...," Naina uttered fuming in anger
He was silent for sometime.
"Mana ki past me bahut si galatiyan hui hain mujhse..par iska matlab ye ni ki main itni badi bewakoof hoon jitna aap mujhe samajh rahe hain..ki khud ki feelings ke bare mein itni badi baat bhi pata nahi hogi mujhe..aap..aap aisa soch bhi kaise sakte hain ki main Abhi Sir ko.. ," She was uttering angrily
"Oh hello...to aur kya samjhu jis tarah se tum chipaki hui thin Chauhan se to mujhe laga ki shayad tum...," this time Rajveer said gritting his teeth recalling the scene
"Excuse me..I am not fevicol jo chipak jaun...Wo to Abhi sir hi..by the way apko bada bura lag raha hai aur khud jo chumma dete phir rahe hain uska kya..," Naina said angrily
"Whattt...kya bakwas kiye ja rahi ho..chumma..kisko chumma diye maine haan..Agar tum fevicol nahi ho to main bhi koi Imran Hashmi ni hoon jo chumma deta phirun ," Rajveer uttered frustratingly
"Nahiii...ab aur nahi sun sakta main..nahi to mere kaan hi fat jayenge..," Naveen cried keeping his both hands on his both ears & came out of the tent. He was waiting to see where the situation turns.
"Ab to kuch na kuch pakka wala intzaam hi karna hoga inka varna ye to..vaise bhi time bahut kam bach hai..filhal mujhe yahan se nikalna hoga apne kaam ke liye..
tab tak tum dono ladte raho tumhari jalan wali ladai...," Thinking this in his mind Naveen vanished from there
"Maine tumhare alawa aaj tak aur kisi ko kabhi nahi..," Rajveer further said now averting his gaze a little feeling little shy and embarrassed
"Achcha to Capt. Monika ke sath kya kar rahe the aap..," Naina asked raising her both brows while putting her hands either sides of her waist
"Monika ke sath..," Rajveer uttered in a low voice thinking for a second which incident she is talking about
"Dekha...ab to Capt. Monika se Monika bhi ho gaya hai..," Naina exclaimed in a sarcastic way
"Aur jo tumne Chauhan ko Abhimanyu bana diya tha.. remember remember...," Rajveer said in the same tone
"To aap badla le rahe hain us baat ka..," Naina said
"Wo to tumhari phitrat hai..meri nahi...," Rajveer said with a sarcastic smile
"Kya kaha aapne...," She spoke feeling hurt
"Wohi jo tumne suna...," Rajveer said
They kept on and on like this for some more time.
"Mujhe to ye samajh nahi aa raha ki main apko explain kar hi kyun rahi hoon jab apko vishwash hi nahi..," Naina said feeling annoyed
"Baat vishwash ki nahi hai..main bus selfish nahi hona chahta tha. Bus tumhari khushi chahta tha.. aur vishwash to tumhe nahi hai mujh par..na kabhi tha aur na hi kabhi hoga..," Rajveer said angrily & laid down turning his side
first Naina opened her mouth to say something but then pursed her lips thinking something & herself laid down silently on her place turning her side.

Flashback
During second practice of the day
"Caught you, Naina," Capt. Abhi said holding Naina's wrist who was hidden behind a tree during the exercise Great Escape
"Ohh no..," Came out from Naina's mouth
"As you already know You will be punished now..., " He uttered
"Okay..to kya hai punishment..," She said making a pout
"Aap to pareshan ho gayin..," He said moving towards her
"Nai Sir, main pareshan nahi hoon..aur na hi darti hoon kisi bhi punishment se lekin dushman ke hantho pakde jao to bura to lagta hi hai..," She uttered innocently
"Lijiye aapne to hume dushman hi bana dala..," Abhi said closing the distance between them
"I am sorry, Sir agar apko bura laga ho to but mera wo matlab bilkul nahi tha maine to bus exercise ke according bola. After all,the officers here are acting as our enemies bus isiliye..," She apologized
As she finished Abhi hugged her suddenly saying, "Ohh, Naina..aap kitni bholi hain. Hum bus aapse ek chota sa majak kar rahe the..,"
Naina was shocked by Abhi's this sudden act. She couldn't react for some time. Initially she thought it to be a genuine one though feeling really weird from inside.
"Sach aap jitni nidar aur
determined hain utni hi masoom bhi...," He said further
"Thanks.., " Naina spoke unwantedly struggling in his arms to come out of it but she felt he tightened his grip a little more while saying,
"Hum aapse kuch kahna chahte hain Naina..bahut dino se soch rahe hain kahne ki par kah nahi paye..hume lagta hai ki this is the perfect time..hum nahi jante kab aur kaise lekin aap hamare liye bahut khas ban gayi hain..," Abhi uttered
Abhi was unaware of that four pair of eyes were watching all this. Rajveer couldn't bear it more so he left from there.
Naina's eyes widened with extreme shock.
"Hum..hum aapse bahut...," Before he could complete Naina pushed him with force
"I don't know Sir, aapke mind me kya chal raha hai, kyun chal raha hai aur kaise dimag me aaya itna kuch but believe me I am not interested a bit to know. Bhaiya ke case me aapne meri jo bhi help ki uske liye main apki ahsanmand hoon but don't even dare try to do something like this again with me varna main sab kuch bhool jaungi.
Ye bhi ki aap bhaiya ke khas dost rahe hain aur filhal mere teacher bhi hain...," She uttered with her blood shot eyes
"Naina..aap humein galat samjh rahi hain..hum to bus..," Abhi tried to say but cut off by her
"Enough..," Naina spoke showing him her palm then she further said,
"Mujhe jo samjhna tha main achchi tarah samajh chuki hoon..," Saying this she turned to leave
"Naina, Plzz ek baar hamari baat suniye..," Abhi kept saying but Naina left from there without paying any attention to him.
"Rokne ko main bhi tujhe rok sakta tha Abhi par main chahta tha tera jawab tujhe khud Naina se hi mile..
jise tu pyar samjh raha hai wo na to tera pyar hai dost aur na hi infatuation. Ye sab kuch sirf tere ghume hue dimag ka asar hai jise Maj. Nair ne ghumaya hai. I just hope Naina ka jawab sunne ke baad teri band ankhen aur band dimag thoda khul jayen...," Naveen muttered
.........
After Mentors' meeting
"This is not fair Capt. Monika.. Itni badi baat chipayi aapne Mujhse. Agar Arjun na batata to mujhe to kuch pata hi nahi chalta. Mana ki hume mile jyada wakt nahi hua hai lekin hum itne achche dost to ban hi gaye hain ki aapko kam se kam mujhse to share karna hi chahiye tha.. Isn't it?? Rajveer complaint in a friendly way
"Aisi baat nahi hai Capt. Pahle decision liya hi ni tha so..," She
said with a little shyness
"I understand that but I am really really happy that finally you said Yes.. Believe me Capt. Monika you won't regret your decision, " Rajveer said with happiness
"Only Monika..," She said pressing on the word
"Rajveer..," He said smilingly
"Fine..," She uttered smiling back
"Yahan dekho kaise hans hans kar baat kar rahe hain aur mere samne na jane kyun muh fula rahe hain aaj..," Naina muttered who was passing through there
"Aaah...," Monika said blinking her eyes
"Kya hua," Rajveer asked
"Shayad ankh me kuch chala gaya" She answered rubbing her eyes
"Ohh..let me see..," He uttered
Rajveer cupped her face to check & started blowing air in her eyes through his mouth.
Naina's eyes widened. She felt her heart broke badly because from where & the angle she was looking, it looked like Rajveer kissed Monika on her face
Naina couldn't tolerate it so not wasting a single second there she moved forward crossing the place.

Present ( night )
"Tu itni jaldi kaise aa gaya..," Aalekh asked Yudi
"Aana pada..," Yudi uttered while controlling his breath
"Kyun..kaam nahi hua kya ," Aalekh asked contracting his brows
"Nahi..," Yudi replied in a dull voice
"Bole to..," Aalekh uttered
"Don't ask..wahan ka nazara dekhne layak tha..," Yudi exclaimed
"Kaisa nazara..," Aalekh questioned
"Warrrr...," Yudi answered in a heavy voice
"Pahleliyan nahi bujhane ka..saaf saaf bolne ka..," Aalekh said
"Ohh man..both were fighting like warriors..," Yudi stated
"Kyaaaa...," Aalekh uttered in shock
Yudi nodded meaningfully explaining further,
"Rajveer Sir aur Naina Yodhhaon ki tarah se lad rahe the..Ofcourse it was not a war with weapons but War of Words jo kam bhayanak ni tha..," Yudi spoke in a tensed voice
"To tu bhag aaya...," Aalekh asked
"To aur kya karta. Unki jung me shaheed hokar mujhe real ghost nahi banna tha..Abhi to mujhe bahut kuch karna hai..Abhi tak to maine Dr. Shalini ko propose bhi nahi kiya..," Yudi uttered
Aalekh leaned to the tree, took out his fav drink & started sipping thinking deeply. When something clicked in his mind. He looked to his favourite drink bottle & smiled.
