"Jung mein Dushman hamesha tumhara atmavishwas todna chahta hai.. kyunki ek baar wo tut jaye to haar tumhari or jeet unki" Naveen said throwing pebbles in Lake. "Or yaha dusman tumse tumhari khushi cheen na chahta hai...".

"So..?" Rajveer asks clueless.

"So, smile.." Rajveer was still looking lost "your smile will trigger your enemie, it will break them, confuse them.. you know reverse psychology"

"Smile...? Uss sale ki baingan jaisi shakal dekhte hi mann karta hai usko fod dalu aur app bol rahe ho smile karu... Impossible". He denied.

"To fir....." Naveen looks at Rajveer in concern "Naina bhi impossible hai"

Rajveer groaned in frustation "fine... I'll try".

Naveen throws pebble in Lake which skipped on water and reached at the other side "great shot.." Naveen squealed.

"Sir ek baat puchu", Naveen nodded "aap psychologist bhi ho kya?"

Naveen gave him a full smile "Rajveer apart from our professional life, tumhe or mujhe ek hi kadi ne bandha hua hai . Or wo hai Naina.. jo hum dono ki zindagi ki Sabse keemti cheez hai jisko muskurata dekhne ke liye hum kuch bhi kar sakte hai... Jab tum naina ke liye apne apko badalne ke liye taiyyar ho to kya me thodi si der ke liye apna profession nahi change kar sakta" Naveen winked.

"I hope.. mein iss koshish me kamyab ho jaun...".

Naveen puts his hand on his shoulder "just believe in yourself cadet, because I believe in you" (role changed😂)

Rajveer enters in mess. He was late for lunch. There was only 7 minutes left for lunch hours to finish. When he asked for lunch, orderly said that he was late and only one chapati is left.

"Koi bat nahi.. mein hu na chhote bhai ke rehte bada bhai bhuka rahe aisa kaise ho sakta hai." Abhimanyu pokes in between "bade bhaiya aap meri roti le lijiye, waise bhi . Meri maa ne mujhse bachpan se sikhaya hai ki share kaise karte hai" he said maliciously only to trigger him.

Rajveer was about to pounce on him when he remembers his conversation with Naveen. 'just smile and kill him, smile and kill him, smile and kill him' he chanted.

His lips quivered to give a smile, with lot of difficulty he lifted up his lips in a curve and smiled leaving Abhimanyu confused "thanks chhote, but no thanks... Meri maa ne mujhe bachpan se sikhaya hai, kisi ki jhutan nahi leni chahiye, wo chhote logo ka kaam hota hai" Rajveer pokes him back with a blown smile which irked Abhimanyu.

This never happened before, Abhimanyu was flabbergasted, what's wrong with him. Is he really Rajveer ? If he is Rajveer then why isn't he picking up a fight? And why the hell he is smiling.. like... Like an idiot. Rajveer went away smiling at him again, giving him shock of his life.

Step two: Kill your enemy with a smile
Status : succesful.

"Kya baat hai, badle badle mijaaz janab ke" Naina asked quirking her brow as he took her in his arms with a full smile.

"Badla kuch nahi hai.. bas apki nazro ko, apki adaon ka, apki katilana nazar ka kamal hai" he flirted while kissing her on cheek.

"Isshh.. ho kya gaya hai apko" she giggled "not that I mind, I quite love this.. andaz of yours".

"It's just.. am falling more and more and more for you.. kya karu dill par kabu hi nahi rehta... Aj kal ye meri sunta hi nahi... Bas ek hi naam din raat rat-ta rehta hai... Rani, Rani, Rani" he said keeping his hand on his heart.

"Rani? Ab ye Rani kaun hai?" She asked getting rattled "aur apka dill uska naam kyu leta hai?"

"Arey rani... Rani ko nahi janti tum" she shook her head "meri akhon me dekho dhyan se.... Uska chehra dikh jayega tumhe... Dekho" she gazes in his eyes and saw her own reflection. "Dikhi" He teased her while She blushed hard.

"Bhala mein rani kaise hui?" She asks slowly.

"Ek Raja ki patni Rani hi to hoti hai" she looks at him baffled ", bhul gayi...am the prince of Barmer aur shaadi ke baad mein Raja aur tum Rani fir uske bad hamare chote chote rajkumar or Rajkumariya bhi honge"

"Ap bhi na... Kaha ki planning abhi se kar rahe hai.." she said still blushing keeping her head down.

"Are pehle se planning karna better hai.. execution me problem nahi ati. Jaise hum 'wo' karne se pehle thoda thoda 'wo sab' kar lete hai" he winks at her, hinting at their hot makeout sessions, making her gape at him.

"Ap na din par din Besharam hote ja rahe ho.." she said faking her annoyance.

"Ab jaisa bhi hu.." he pulls her closer from waist "sirf tumhara hi hu..".

She gazes in his eyes softly "sirf mere..?". She felt overwhelmed

"Sirf tumhara..." Saying this he kissed her forehead, assuring her with his love.

"Bewakoof, ye kya kiya tumne.." Rajveer roared at his junior who just spilled ink on his uniform by mistake.

"Wo sir galati se hua.. mein to sidha aa raha tha magar aap hi mujhse takra gaye" he said in a meek voice.

"Tumhare kehne ka kya matlab hai, galati meri hai, meine khud apne upar ink girayi..." Rajveer was about to pounce on him when Naveen came there.

"Kya ho raha hai ye sab... Itni bheed kyu ikkhati kar rakhi hai" he asks sternly.

"Ye dekho sir kya kiya isme... Meri puri uniform kharab kar di.. or kehta hai ki galati meri hai" Rajveer looks at him pissed.

"Nahi sir, aisa nahi hai. Mein to bas sidha chal raha tha.. sir apni book mein busy the or mujhse takra gaye" he clarified.

"Acha.. mein book mein busy tha.. to tu kaha busy tha jo tujhe mein nahi dikha, bol" he got scared in front of Rajveer.

"Enough of all this..." Naveen intervened "Rajveer you should have been careful, galati tumhari hai.. chalte chalte kaun kitab padhta hai".

"Meri galati? Kaise..? Agar meine isey nahi dekha to isne bhi to mujhe nahi dekha... Ye kaun se khayalo mein gum tha" he wasn't letting go this topic.

"Rajveer koi bhi insaan apni galati man lene se chhota nahi ho jata hai, chhoti-badi galati sabse hoti hai, it's alright tumse bhi galati hui" Naveen calmly made him understand.

"Nahi sir, mein nahi manta jo galat hai wo galat hai... Or agar me galat hu to galat ye bhi hai". He was adamant, not giving up.

"Rajveer accept kar lene se tum galat ya chhote nahi ho jaoge.. it's all abo.." Rajveer cuts him in between.

"Rehne dijiye sir, app nahi samjhenge... Apko kabhi kisi ne galat nahi samjha na...", Rajveer left from there getting annoyed at his behaviour.

Rajveer was sitting alone in classroom when Naveen came there, knowing that he will find him here only. He sits beside his chair.

"Naraz ho?" Naveen asks looking at blank board.

"Mujhe laga mere mentor hone ke nate aap mera sath denge..." He too said looking forward, plainly.

"Kyu...? Kyu du tumhara sath" they looks at eachother this time "aisi kaunsi jung ladi hai tumne jo tumhara sath du? Tum galat the, isiliye meine galat ko galat kaha... Tumhare mentor hone ke naate....".

"Jab mein galat nahi to kaisi galati.. kyu accept karu mein". He argued.

"Rajveer dekho mein janta hu ye sab kuch mushkil hai tumhare liye.. magar ab itni agey akar.. apni or meri mehnat par Paani mat fero" Naveen makes him understand. "Aur tum achi tarah se jante ho... Ki kaun sahi aur kaun galat tha". Rajveer remains silent on this. "Tumhara agla task yahi hai... Accept your flaws" Naveen concluded.

"Aap yaha baithe ho, aur me apko puri academy me dhund ayi." She sits beside him near lake "lagta hai aj kal apke pas mere liye time hi nahi hai..kaha the aap" she asks him in complaining way.

"Apne saale ke sath time pass kar raha tha" he murmurs...

"Kya" she didn't heard him properly.

"Ahh.. I mean" then a mischievous idea stuck him "ab kya batau tumhe.. me chahta to hu tumse milna... Magar sir ne mujhpar itna burden dala hua hai ki mein kya karu... Har chote bade kam ke liye Rajveer chahiye unhe".. he said faking sadness

"Huh... Ye Maj. Nair bhi na, chain nahi hai unhe... Jab dekho apni seniority jhadte rehte hai, khud se ek patta tak nahi hilta mucchad se or humse umeed karte hai ki mount Everest utha de" she said in irritation.

"Are nahi... Mein Maj. Nair ki baat nahi kar raha hu.. wo to fir bhi thik hai magar ye" he said making irritated face "ye to ekdum bekar hai.. just like an annoying pest".

"Maj. Nair nahi to fir kaun? Aisa kaunsa teacher hai jisne Maj. Nair ko bhi piche chhod diya" she asks curiously.

"Arey wahi.. hamara naya teacher, Captain Naveen Singh Ahluwalia" he pressured on his name while keeping an eye on her expression which turned pale "jeena haram kar diya hai kambakht ne".

"Aisa kya kar diya bha....I ahh..  I mean captain Ahluwalia ne?" She questions.

"Ye pucho kya nahi kiya... Subha se lekar shaam tak left right left karata rehta hai ek pal ko saans nahi lene deta... Iss se acha to Maj. Nair hai.. kam se kam apni class ke baad koi matlab to nahi rakhte lekin ye Ahluwalia... uff,bas pucho hi mat".he fakes exhaustion.

"Ab wo itne bure bhi nahi ki aap unhe Maj. Nair jaise jallad se compare kare" she was offended.

"Arey nahi naina... Mujhse pucho na, mein pura din kya kya bardasht karta hu" he was having a gala time watching her tensed expressions. "Me to sochta hu iski biwi ka kya hoga..biwi chhodo agar iski koi behen hogi to bechari na jane aise bhai ko kaise jhelti hogi, saans tak lena mushkil hojata hoga uska...poor girl" he made a pitiful face.

She tries to cover up for her brother getting bothered "aisa nahi hai jaisa aap soch rahe hai... He is the best brother in this world" she said proudly.

Rajveer raises his brow at her answer "tumhe kaise pata?" She curses herself at this blunder "tum to aise bol rahi ho.. jaise wo tumhara khud ka bhai ho.... Itni tarafdaari? Akhir chakkar kya hai" he looks at her seriously while trying to control his laughter looking at her panick stricken face.

"Nahi... Wo i..  meant to say... He is like a brother.... Wo hamesh.. mujhe guide karte hai na.. he always treats me like his younger sister isiliye boli..." She gave a nervous smile.

"Ohh... Magar kuch bhi kaho... Mere liye to wo jallad hi hai, jab se aya hai saale ne zindagi narak bana ke rakh di hai" he tries to rile her up as he was having fun in pulling her leg.

"Rajveer.. aap unhe gali mat dijiye" she sounds offended.

"Arey... Gaali kaha di rishte se bulaya... Ab tumhara bhai hai to Wo mera sala laga na" he said amusingly.

"What..saala? Bhai? Mera.. hehehe" she laughs nervously "apko kaise...? I mean mein... Apko...wo". She fumbles.

"Ab tumhi ne kaha na.. he treats you like a younger sister... To fir uss hisaab se wo mera sala hi to hua na..." He justifies, while controlling his laughter looking at her about to cry features.

She sighs in relief "ohhh...wo wala saala"

"Haa...wo wala saala, kyu koi aur baat hai kya? Jo mujhe pata honi chahiye...lekin tumne mujhe nahi batayi hai.... Kisi wajah se?? Hmm... Bolo bolo.. kya chupa rahi ho tum mujhse... Cadet Naina ahhh... Singh" he saw her with scrutinizing gaze, mischievously.

She gulps hard in nervousness but composes herself "Nahi nahi nahi..  kuch nahi hai... Aur aap, koi kam dham nahi hai kya ... Apke exams ane wale hai na.. jaiye taiyyari kijiye... Or mujhe bhi karne dijiye... Sara din bas batein karalo inse..." She got up dusting her clothes running away from him as soon as possible before he can take his interrogation forward.

"Arey naina ruko...meri baat to suno" he laughed heartily as she runs away from him in hurry "pagal ladki.... Magar jaisi bhi hai, meri hai" he smiles in adoration.
