Midnight... in KMA Girls Hostel.. naina awake. Her eyes wide open.. how could she sleep? Her Rajveer Sir is drifting away from her.. away.... Far away.. he has started avoiding her in class..in the training field... he also has warned her not to go to him with each and every problem of hers.. he wants to move on..move away from his Cadet Naina Ah Singh... he is not the same... something has changed.. he doesn't want to be with her now.. is it really so? Well atleast...it looks so....

Rajveer Sir aisa kaise kar sakte hain? Wo mujhe akele nahi chhod sakte hai.. mere bikhre huye tukro ko sametke who apne haato se mujhe phirse tod nahi sakte. Naina starts walking in her room unaware of the fact that her movements causing disturbance to pooja who was trying to sleep.

She walks to the ajar window peeping out through it.. she looks at the moon.. the moon that brightens the dark world.. but what about the darkness inside her? Can the moon lit it up? The same moon witnessing two souls, witnessing their bond, concern for each other...silently.. the cool breeze.. yes, it can be the second witness too. The breeze that soothes, failed to calm this two burning souls.. almighty has created certain objects lifeless....just to witness silently!

Naveen bhaiya.....she shouts.... Bhaiya aap kaha ho? Wapis ajao.. aapki guriya ko aapki zaroorat hai... bohat zaroorat...ajao na bhaiyya..bhaiya ajao na....mujge apne gale se lagao na bhaiyya.. tears escaped her eyes..

Ae Zindagi gale laga le

But does she realise that her tears this time are not for her brother? Not for the soul that has departed.. not this time at least. instead these are making their path for the person who is on the same boat... so close...yet miles apart! The unsaid grief she is suffering now.. the helplessness she is feeling.. the void space that rajveer has created.. No! she is amateur to understand this. Two souls crying..and the third one observing them....yet again...another silent spectator.....

Ae zindagi gale laga le
Humne bhi tere hare ek ghum ko gale se lagaya hai
Haina...

Kya hua naina? Tu ro kyu rahi hai? Asks pooja suddenly..

Naina turned to her wiping her tears.......pooja tu soyi nahi?

Yaha par tera network full on mode par hai, bhala mera netwok down kaise ho sakta hai? Pooja says softly.. naina kya hua? Bata mujhe.. please..

Naina looks at her...trying to understand... is this the same pooja who once slammed her? Who once raised fingers against her.. who once questioned her relation with her Rajveer sir.. is she really her friend?

Pooja understands her state of mind.... Why would not she?? Afterall she had betrayed her friend once...and now she is repaying.....her friend has moved away...now her friend thinks twice before saying to her her hearts content.. alas...she herself is responsible......but she needs to mend this... And that too soon.... She can't afford to loose a friend...not at all..

Naina mujhe pata hai maie tere saath bohat gala kia hai.. mujhe tujhse who sab nahi kehna chahye tha. Mujhe maaf kar pyegi tu? Pooja begs.

Naina please maf kar de mujhe.. warna mai apne aap ko kabhi maaf nahi kar pungi.. please naina.. this time tears visible in her eyes.. tears of guilt..

Naina mai behek gayi thi.. sahi galat k beech sachhai ko dekh nahi payi thi.please mujhe maaf karde..
She starts crying..

Chup ho ja pooja.. jo hua so ho gaya.. ab who badal nahi sakta. Speaks naina finally.

Pooja was relieved a little ..atleast she spoke to her. Wiping her tears she says naina mai tujhe thanks nahi kahungi. Yeh bohat chhota word hai.. bus yeh baata ke tune mujhe maaf kia..

Suddenly a voice breaks their conversation.....A voice that never rises for something better.... A voice that KMA wants to get rid of...sooner..
An important announcement.. Captain Rajveer Singh Sekhawat and Cadet Naina Singh Ahluwalia are hereby asked to report to Major Nair tomorrow at 05.00 hours. This mentor protégé duo has been selected for a mission. The briefings will be provided to them at 05.00 hrs sharp. Major bhargavs voice.

Ab mogambo ka yeh kaunsa naya chal hai?.....asks pooja

Mujhe bhi kuch samajh nahi araha. Kya mission? Aur mai aur rajveer sir hi kyu? Naina retorts confused.

Naina savdhan rehna.. yeh mugambo ka koi naya plan hai tujhe and Rajveer Sir ko fasane k liye..... says pooja... concern visible in her eyes...her voice.. after all she has once misunderstood her dear friend for a foe... she won't repeat the same mistake again..

Ab major bhargav kuch nahi kar sakte.. Rajveer sir ne Ritu maam se engagement karli.. ab koi galat fehmi nahi hai.. naina tries to smile... but how can one smile when one bears a persistent pain? The smile that just touches the lips and doesn't reach eyes. The smile that makes the world happy, but the man smiling gets suffocated all the more!... but....she has to smile... for her Rajveer sir... for her sir who wants her to fight her battle alone....and she cant ignore her Sirs wish...!!

Naina kyu apne andar galat fehmi pal rahi hai? Pooja asks... pooja the girl who has seen the world in her own way.. who has experienced failures in love... the chubby bubbly girl changed... for her own sake.. and this change has made her tough.... Tough enough to see and understand people....

Pooja mai kuch samjhi nahi.. Naina looks confused..

Naina ek baar apne aankho se apne bhai ka patti hatake is duniya ko dekh.. sab samajh jayegi..duniya ko bhi aur apne aap ko bhi.. Naveen bhaiya ko zinda rakh apne andar.. lekin iske liye apne aap ko mar mat dena. Pooja says her.

Pooja saaf saaf bol tu kya kehna chahti hai.. tu to achhi tarah se janti haina k maine academy kyu join kia. Mujhe naveen bhaiya ko begunah sabit karna hai.. naina clarifies herself..

But the clarification was for whom? For the wold merely.. what about her ownself? If this was just the reason, then why isn't she able to sleep? Is it really she doesn't understand herself or she doesn't really want to understand the real?

Naina....tu chahe accept kar ya na kar ek sach sun le... Rajveer sir pyaar karte hai tujhse.. aur syed tu bhi.. apne bhai k pyaar me itni andhi ho gayi hai tu k tujhe baaki duniya abhi dikhai nahi de raha.. aur yeh Rajveer sir jo Ritu mam se shadi kar rahe hai nay eh bus ek dikhawa hai. Rajveer sir Ritu mam se pyaar nahi karte. Aur shadi karne k liye pyaar zaroori hai.. pyaar toh sir tujhse karte hai.. yeh shadi karke, apne aap ko maarke sir tujhe badnami se bachana chahte hai. Afsos Naina tujhe yeh dikhai nahi dia. Says pooja sternly..

Kya bol rahi hai pooja.. tujhe samajh ne mein koi galat fehmi huyi hai.. Naina tries not to look into her eyes and moves from her place.

Naina mujhse dur jaake tu sachhai badal nahi sakti. Aur agar mujhe galat fehmi hai to meri aankho me aankh daal ke bol yeh baat....

Smiling sarcastically... Rajveer sir ki dil tu kya samjhegi.. tu to apna dil khood padh nahi pa rahi.. tu yeh nahi dekh parahi hai ke tera dil bhi dhadak raha hai rajveer sir k liye ab. Tu bhi chahne lagi hai unhe

Chup kar pooja.. chup kar.. Naina shuts her ears trying not to let in Poojas words.. but this just is a trial.. what about the feel that is not letting her sleep? What about the words that her heart has accepted but her conscious brain has not?

Naina... tu mujhe to chup karwa sakti hai.. lekin apne andar ki yeh shor ko kaise chup karwaegi? Jo shor tujhe sone nahi de rahi hai? Says pooja instantly..

Maan le naina tu Rajveer sir se pyaar karne lagi hai.. maan ley yeh sach..aur isiliye Rajveer sir ka door jaana tujhe itna pareshan kar raha hai.. is wajah se Rajveer sir and Ritu mam ki engagement se tu khush nahi hai.. isliye tere aankho se aansu thamne ka naam nahi le raha.. Pooja tells softly trying to make her understand..

Hota hai Naina.. aisa hi hota hai jab koi apna dur jaane lagta hai na tab mano jaise dil ki dhadkane band si ho jaati hai.. mere saath bhi hua tha jab rohit dur chala gaya tha.. din raat royi main.. tears escape poojas eyes.. afterall she has faced betrayal in love.. but this betrayal made her strong... made her meet with the real love of her life..

Aur phir Rohit ko dhundte dhundte mai yaha ayi... aur yaha mujhe Ali mila... Ali se milne k baad mujhe pata chala k sachha pyaar kya hota hai... a spark evident in Poojas eyes as she remembers Ali. The inner glow of happiness makes her face radiate.. the happy aura around pooja... she starts smiling. Suddenly everything seems happy to her... why not? Being in love with the right person has the potential to change your world...change for good..change for happiness.. She has become matured.. she understands the world now. Unknowingly she has started talking normally...and not in her mobile language.

Well changes in love are always good.....

All of a sudden pooja comes out of her happyland to find naina lying on bed.. her body language clearly depicts that she is awake......camouflaging sleep to avoid further conversation... Pooja smiles..

Naina mujhe pata hai tu soyi nahi.. bus ek baat kehna hai.. ek baar apne dil ki sun.. ak baar apne liye jee. Ek baar apne dil ka kar.. phir dekh teri bhi duniya muskuratat se bhar jyegi.. aur rahi baat naveen bhaiya ko nirdosh sabit karna...who toh tu shahrukh k saath milke bhi kar sakti hai..

Sochna kabhi fursat se..

Ab so ja. Kal subah tujhe jaldi jaana hai.. good night..

Pooja walks to her bed.. she once turns to naina...smies and then switches off the bedlight and drifts to sleep..

But sleep miles away from naina... sleep and Naina seems to be in mutual repulsion mode. The fact that she had been suppressing till recent is a stated fact now.. the answers of the question that she was afraid to ask herself were spoken aloud by pooja... how can she not accept now?

Well human brain has the power to reject a fact infinite times... but what about human heart? Does heart always work in synchrony with brain?...

Pooja jo bol rahi thi, kya who sach hai? Kya isse pyar kehte hai? Agar yeh pyaar hai toh kya mai rajveer sir se pyaar karti hoon? Aur kya rajveer sir bhi mujhse..........????

Poojas words keeps ringing in her ears...........

Lets see who wins this time.......Brain??? Heart???

Rajveer there in his room........

Rajveer was shocked with the announcement... the sudden announcement made him smell the fowl play that major bhargav has planned for..

But this time he will protest...his eys determined...

ab major bhargav kya chahte hai? His logical brain tries to find reason..

suddenly Nainas face flashes again..... he curls his lips in a bitter smile...... kal wo kayamath ki din hogi... kal mai naina ko sab kuch bata dunga.... Kal naina mujhse dur chale jayegi... He thinks..

MajorBhargav kal hum dono ko saath bhej rahe hai.....ek dusre ke beech faasle badhane ke liye...phir kabhi na mil paane ke liye.kal sab kuch khatam ho jyega... mai apne pyaar ko aur jhooth nahi bol sakta..... pyaar me koi jhooth nahi hota hai...

aur is jhooth ki keemat naina ko mujhse bohat dur ley jyegi.. dur... bohat bohat dur.......is jhooth ki keemat mujhe apne pyaar ko khoke chukana padega....

But he already has paid a lot.. he lost his family at a tender age... he lost his dear friend.. now on the verge of losing the only strength in his life... his love... the love which has made him live.... The love which will kill him again........ what a fantastic fate he was born with!

Fate smiles........

Some people are born to give... not to take...they are born to touch others lives..to soothe.. to be a support.. to love unconditionally.. they burn themselves to ashes to protect others as if they are destined for..... fate never allows them stand on the receiving side... never...

Has fate decided the same this time???

He walks back to his bed... sleep away from his eyes too....

The third silent spectator soul witnessing two innocent hearts burning in the fire of love.....

The end...
