When he realized that Akriti was not walking with him he stopped to look back and saw her frozen at her spot. he went back and snapped his fingers in front of her. It brought her out of her dazed state and she said," To kya aap mujhe pehle nahi bta sakte the taki mai at least yeh nahi pehti, is dress mein mai itni upar kaise cahdungi." 

This brought a smile to Abhimanyu's face that always made Akriti's heart flutter well, she thought, at least she made him smile. It was still a mystery to her how he was able to live his life with a constant smile on his face and not be grumpy about everything that life has taken from him. She herself couldn't do that, She had always had a grudge against life for taking away her parents and then her brothers and sister leaving her alone, so naturally she became the grumpy person that she is. 

Abhimanyu's knew that she was thinking something, It was left a frown on her face but he didn't ask what she was thinking about and instead answered her question" Well agr hum apko, apke sade kapdon mein ane dete to Point 1857 ke rules ke khilaf jate , isliye without any more questions we are going to leave taki hume waps ate time der na ho jae." He took her hand in his and proceeded towards their destination hand in hand. 

*********************************************************************************

With Akriti going on her date only Naina and Sameera were left in Naina's room. They had fun teasing and getting Akriti ready for her date. When it was just the two of them left Rummy came into the room along with Alekh and asked if Akriti had already left. They talked for a little while when suddenly Sameera had a thought and voiced it to Rummy" Rummy aaj jab hum tumhri mummy se milne a rahe the tab tum unhe kya bta rahe the meri taraf point kr ke ?"Rummy being Rummy gave the most honest answer and said," Mai Ma ko tumhe dikha ke keh raha tha 'Wo dekha ma meri bhabhi arahi hai , sunder hai na, par kya karen bhai ko itni akal hi nahi ati ki bhahi se shadi ke bat wat kare, Shadi chodo wo girlfriend bana ke bhi baat nahi karte.'" 

All this while Sameera Naina and Alekhheard Rummy's answer, Naina and Alekh almost burst out laughing and Sameera was as red as a tomato can get with wide eyes and mouth gaping like a fish. She recovered from her temporary disability to say anything and launched herself at Rummy with a lamp in her hand. Rummy also got up started to run to save himself from her and her lamp. 

What both of them didn't know is that right at the time that Sameera asked rummy the question Gunraj was passing through the corridor and he stopped to eavesdrop a little even he was left a little flustered with Rummy's honest answer and thought back to earlier that day when his mother had shown some interest in Sameera and his Dynamic . At that time he thought nothing of it but know he knew what his mother had meant, and he was 100% sure that by now his father Major General Gaur must also know about his feelings for Sameera. With this thought in his mind, he started towards his room with no clue as too his brother's antics.

Sameera and Rummy were running around the room at first but soon to save himself rummy leaped out of the room with Sameera hot on his heels, And fortunately for Rummy and unfortunately for Sameera he ran straight towards Gunny and called his name to stop him from going too far and luckily Gunny turned just in time to dodge Rummy and let him run ahead . Sadly though when he turned again, he saw a very angry Sameera also running towards him or rather towards Rummy with a lamp in her hand. This at the very least brought a bright smile on Gunny's face and he thought that he should stop their antics before his father saw them, so he jumped in front of her, rather just stood there till she stopped.

Sameera had not yet noticed Gunny standing in front, all her energy was focused at Rummys running figure had run quite far by now, but soon another figure came in her sight and she stooped right in front of him mere inches away from him. She still held the Lamp high in the air as if it was sword and she had declared war on Rummy, but when she saw Gunraj her anger somehow vanished and paved way for embracement. 

Gunraj saw the lamp and lifted an eyebrow with amusement in his eyes he was about to ask her what was going on but before he could even voice his question she had his answer " Wo Rummy, was being an idiot." Gunny bit his lips and replied, "To tumne soocha ki mere bhai ko lamp ke sath daudaogi." Sameera promptly dropped her hand that was hanging in the air with lamp down and said, "Nahi wo to bas jo mila uske sath usko peeche gai , ittefak tha ki lamp hanth mein a gaya." Gunny trying his best to keep a neutral expression on his face nodded and said, "Alright then, theek hai bas chehre par mat marna ma uske puchegi phir mujhse puchegi aur mere pas koi jawab nahi hoga." With this, he left her standing there.

Sameera groaned and also left the idea of chasing Rumy alone and went back to Naina's room.

******************************************************************************

While Rummy and Sameera had their miny battle and Sameera and Gunny had their miny moment there were two other people coming in from two different directions that halted to witness these exchanges and have a few words of wisdom themselves. 

Naveen was going Naina's room to talk and Dr.Shalini was going to her office but when both of them saw this exchange they stopped in their tracks. Naveen noticed doc there and went to her to talk and when he did reach her she shushed him, 'like really' he thought. 

Shalini was busy in what Gunny and Sameera were talking about and when Gunny left Shalini turned to see Naveen watching her, she jerked her head back and raised her eyebrows in a silent question to Naveen. 

Naveen asked, " Ek baat baten doctor Shalini yeh sab kya hamesha se itne pagal the ye koi seasonal bemari type faili hui hai aaj kal KMA mein." Shalini with the same amused tone replied," Yeh sab to normally aise hi rehte zadatar but haan hamare majors aise nahi hote hamesha so, maybe it is a seasonal thing major."

Naveen nodded and Shalini said," Waise major apko bach ke rehna chaiye, seems like yeh bemari sirf major ko infect kr rahi hai." Naveen chuckled and replied," Sorry to disappiont you doctor but iss bimari se infect hone ke liye apko ek partner ki sakht zaroorat hai and , aise to hai nahi ki aap bhi ek lamp leke mere peeche lag jaengi to mere infect hone ke kam hi chances hain."

Shalini took this comment as a challenge," Bilkul nahi major agar mujhe apko daudaana hi hoga to mai surgical instruments leke daudaongi naki lamp leke." Naveen looked back at her with horror and Shalini laughed and said," Try better next time major maybe just maybe you may get the hang of flirting." She winked at him and left.

Naveen also took this as an open challenge a war of flirting with Major Dr.Shalini. 

********************************************************************************

Alekh soon left Naina's soon to go after Rummy and Sameera leaving Naina alone. SHe decided to take this time to relax a bit and cook dinner for herself and Naveen. So she started on her cooking with a song playing in the background and got so lost in the moment that she didn't notice Rajveer come in stand at the door arms crossed over his chest, Only when he cleared his throat did she stop dancing well more like swaying to the music and looked up to see him there. 

Rajveer said, " Waah Cpt. Naina ah Singh I didn't now ki apko cooking ke sath sath dancing bhi ati hai." Niana shook her head resumed her cooking and replied, " Cooking ati hai dancing kissi aur ne kabhi sikhai thi." Rajveer moved into the kitchen and eyed the room and saw that it was in fact set in the same way that his room was. " Hmm, Dancing to badi achi kari apne but cooking ka mujhe kuch pta nahi kahin jala hua khana to nahi khilane ka irada hai." he said with a bit of laughter in his voice. 

Naina was also enjoying this moment of peace of quite with Raj. She looked up from her chopping board to see Raj watching her very keenly and said, " FYI I am a great cook Major Shekhawat." Rajveer said," Hmmm Woh to khana taste kerne ke baad hi pta chalega. waise ye Naveen kahan hai mujhko message bhijwaya to be here for dinner aur abhi tak khud nahi aya. " Naina looked towards the clock and saw it was already 8 o'clock, " Haan bola to mujhse bhi tha ki a jaenge but .." at the same time Naveen with Alekh entered " A jaenge nahi ,a gae hai ."
