Days passed by.... And naina with ud's help was able to track down a lot of information from abhimanyu....

Alekh also helped them... As he came to know about their plan.... He would keep a check on academy gates... And bribe the orderlies.... Of free alchohol... To track down major nair's activities....

But major nair was just an informer.... Real work of arms smuggling and venue for the meeting with the leader of this conspiracies was decided by abhimanyu....

He did all these things with such precision... That there was no trace of any relevant info that could be obtained even after bugging his room and his cell phone...but naina noticed that despite of so many efforts they were unable to bug his office... He used to be extra cautious about it and its keys were always with him....

"naina... Ye sab information... Regarding smuggled arms... And fimancial dealings... Esa ho hi nai sakta ki ye sab info ka koi back up na ho... Captn. Abhimanyu in organizations se salo se deal kar raha he... To uske pas in sab ka secure database jarror hoga... " Ud remarked......

" Haan par itne din se hum apna kaam kar rahe he... Koi database... Koi file kuch nai mila... Yaha tak ke unke cell phone se b koi relevant no. Nai mila." ..

She clenched her fist in frustration...
This was taking longer than they thought it would.... Everything was a blur.... And on top of everything they were absolutely clueless about rajveer's whereabouts....although they were sending him all the info thoroughly.. But in these six months they could hardly hear anything from him.....

Parting,....... they say... Is difficult when u r  in love.... Each time  choubey would cause any delay in giving  news about rajveer... Naina's heartbeats would stop temporarily...

Each night... Thoughts of him... Would cloud her senses... Leaving her in yearning... To see him... To feel his skin... His warmth... She would snuggle to his photograph and drift into a slumber.... Hoping that the following day would come with a ray of hope... That this all would end soon.....

When she got the news that col. Shakti had been missing and there has been a report filed against rajveer..... As he has been missing in action for more than six months... And he would soon be declared as a deserter by the army... And court marshalled... She lost all hope...
All she knew was she wanted to meet rajveer.... Just once.... Just for a while...

A Choubey gave in to her persistent requests and pleadings and finally made an arrangement.....

During a short vacation period before their exams... She was finally able to meet him...
Her stomach was churning in the anticipation of finally meeting him... Seeing him safe and sound...
She landed in a remote area in punjab... After changing a series of buses... From where she was guided to actual hideout...

She saw rajveer.... After six months of longing and yearning..... Pain and separation..... Days which felt like decades.....
He was frail.... Weak... Worn out from this constant game of chasing.....
His gaze however intense as it always was... He pulled her inside the room in a jerk and locked the door.....

She looked at his stubble... Scarred face... And his tired eyes.... Which were devoid of either sleep or hope....

Her eyes brimmed with tears... As she caressed his cheek.....

He closed his for a brief moment trying to absorb her touch.... Feel of her fingers upon his face...

"kya haal bana diya he...."

She whispered in a hoarse voice.... Kissing a scar on his forehead.....

"  Kya karu Tumse door rehne ka ye asar hoga mujhpe..... Pata nahi tha...."

She chuckled at cheesy comment he had just passed.... They looked in each others eyes with such intensity and longing..... Next moment... Ended up tasting each others lips... Slightly salty as tears were getting mixed up.... Tears of longing.... Pain.... That love has to offer......

Their hands rubbing  fiercely against each others skin.... Wanting more of each other.... Wanting to rip off all the barriers in between... To breathe each other in...

Heat of his fingers upon her curves as he was kissing her fiercely... Bruising her lips.... And she was reciprocating with equal fervour.... It was the distance and the yearning... From the time they had last met... That was serving as a fuel... Igniting fire.....
He pressed her against the wall whilst his tongue exploring her mouth..
Pressing his lean... Almost frail body against her.....
She could feel his hardness and his desperation.. As their senses were clouded with desire..... He pulled down her kameez.... Exploring her bare skin.....kissing fiercely on her neck.... Which was reddened and wet after a while.... He aimed for her breasts... His fingers running against its contours.... His teeth... .. Tugging on one of her breast.... Making her go mad in pleasure......
He finally got rid of her kameez and flipped her around.... Hastily... Pressing her against the wall started furiously kissing her bare back...... Whilst removing her bra hook....
Once she was completely undressed.... He sat on his knees to kiss her navel...

She was now getting dizzy with high dose of pleasure..... Tugging at his hair... In excitement....

Next moment... His hand slipped inside her pants... Getting rid of them.... He started planting kisses on her thigh.....
She was now completely lost in a world of ecstasy and desire... Squirming and gasping she pulled him up to ravish his mouth....

While his hands roamed around her breasts... Feeling their erect tips.....

They knew there was a lot to be said... And talked about... But their rational thinking had taken a side track and right now their senses were completely ruled by  desire...

As it was the only that could make them forget what about the mess that their life has become...
That they were probably stuck in a limbo.... And everything was falling apart.... This was the only comfort... Only security that they could offer each other...
She tugged on his shirt... Tearing it apart... Only to reveal his injured self....
He was betrayed upon by everyone he had laid hope on....
Her skin was only place that felt like home...

Soon all the barriers of clothing were ripped apart as he pushed her on the bed.... Covering her lean self by himself....
His fingers traveled her nether region.. Followed by his lips.... . And she gave a loud moan....
Which encouraged him all the more and without any further delay.... He rode her to a place far away from the world they were currently in....

A place where there was no betrayal ... No suffering . Only their love....

After an age...... They lay in each other's arms... Completely spent.... His fingers still making patterns on her skin... Her lips still resting on his chest.... Planting soft kisses... Every once in a while.....revelling that they are actually together.....
Just absorbing the silence...and each other's presence....

He finally jerked into reality..... And got up........

"tum ne yaha aane ki zid kyu laga rakhi thi... U know how risky it is...."

She frowned at this sudden change in atmosphere...
"as if you didn't miss me at all..."
She replied pouting.... She knew it was the need of the hour to be serious... But... Couldn't help it...
"naina i m not being glib.... U hardly know.... How much risk u have put urself in...."

I heard about col. Shaktichandra...
How did all this happen... Is it all ypur plan....

"No... It isn't... "
He said in a silent but scary tone....

"Rajveer... What exactly happened.... Please will you tell me... At once... U r scaring me now....."

He broke down into tears.... As she clutched him  tight....
He revealed how col. Shakti... Had called him before he went A. W. O. L... To reveal that lala gehlot....
His mentor... His father figure... Was the one who was supposedly the boss... He was completely shattered as now their only hope of bringing the truth out with his help... Was lost....
All the investigation... Had gone hay wire... And as col. Shakti went missing... And he himself is declared...
as a deserter... There was no way back....

"Naina... I think you should abort.. The investigation in the academy... Dispose off all the transmission wires and bugging devices... "

"You wold land up in a neck deep trouble... Its all too risky... Sab kuch khatam ho gaya he..."

He said.... His voice filled with despair.... Helplessness....
Mai nai chahta ke tumpar is sab ki wajah se koi aach aaye....

"No... Don't say it.... You know is mission ko abort karne ka matlab... Wo log aapko deserter declare kar denge...you would be court marshalled... If you don't present with all the proof... We can't give up... We won't give up... Sir... "

"Naina."...he ran his hands in his hair in desperation and frustration....

"For once in your lifetime listen to what i say.... Stop acting so goddamn stubborn... For god sakes..."

He shouted so loud that she got startled and teary... Completely shaken by his outburst.....

She had made a resolve.. To not give up no matter how tough it gets... She had been taught to keep hope untill her last breath.... By the very man.... Who was now completely devoid of hope... And energy...
She hugged him tight... As if giving him strength....... To fight and whispered...
We can't give up... Remember there is still hope left... Till our last breath..

He broke out... His voice hoarse..clung to her.. Pleading her to stop... To listen to him.....
All she said was.... "we can still get you out of all this... Captn. Abhimanyu... Is our last resort"....
As she said it... He was shaken...a fear crept in... Making him go numb....
He asked....

"what are you planning to do...."

Her eyes fearful... As she narrated him the plan..... And his blood boiled.......and he lost all his calm...

"what.... There is no way i m letting you do this..."

To be continued....
