First of all thank you so much for all the lovely and funny comments
I really enjoy the comments

"I can't believe we have whole first week of December off... although it's a compensation for Diwali holidays
Still i can finally sleep
And eat actual food."
Ud was having a fantasy and Alekh have him a deadly look.

"Main to pehle hi din bhagne wala hun"
Huda declared

" - hum to yahi rehne wale hai ... Khamkha kharcha hoga."
Said Ali.

"To phir main bhi nahi ja rahi .... "
Announced Pooja

"Jaha Piya waha main"
Huda teased Pooja and Ali went pink.

"Sawal ye hai ke Naina jayegi ya nahi "
Pooja decide to give her some hard time
And Naina saw her with strict eyes.

"What do you mean
Naina kyun nahi jayegi"?

"Are itne din dur kaise rahegi???
Huda said very casually giving Naina a mini chok.

And everyone saw him amazed by his boldness with their eyes wide open

"Apne alekh se "
Huda completed with an evil smirk

And everyone smiled amused with this leg pulling...while naina was going pink...
She know they all know ..

"Cadet Singh captain rajveer ne apko bulaya hai"
Came the orderly with the most wrong timing ever...

Alekh and Puja coughed while huda and ud cleared their throat.... Ali being the only decent friend....

Naina got irritated by continuously getting teased because of him and left stomping her feet...

---

"You called me sir"
She asked as she came to his room as he had summoned her.

"Yeah....
I have to tell you that , there is finally gonna be hearing for major Nair ."

"That's a good news "
She got charged

"We have a good shot right..."?
She asked for confirmation

"Yupp we do....
Now do you wana hear the best past "?
He asked with a proud smile

"It's on 5 December.... during your Holidays...
If you wish ... I  can pick you up from your home and drop you back next day.

She felt her head spinning and heart beating like never before
She tried her very best to not let that smile get spread on her face ....

"I would like to accompany you sir... It will be a treat to see him getting served for what he did."

"He smile and nod at her .... "

Nanitaal

Alekh came along with naina
And rajveer  was supposed to come after two days.
She told her parents everything about the progress of their investigation and her parents were glad and hopefull for the first time.

"Naina ask him to come for lunch"
Naina 's mother asked her and naina took care of not looking towards alekh who was definitely hiding a grin...
Her parents can pick up something otherwise

They all were having evening tea.

"Maa rehne do... I don't want him to feel obligated"
She tried to dismiss the idea.

"Muje to lagta hai sir will be very happy
Sir hum sab cadets ko family ki tarah hi treat karte hain"
Alekh said in a most sanskari voice and straight face.

"He has done so much for u for us ... It's the least we can do naina
Call him"
Her baba insisted

And she agreed
She is not sure if this is a good idea
With their relationship in cliffhanger
To have him around her domestic surrounding
Away from kma
With her parents around.... It's oddly satisfying and strangely weird
Totally new kind of feeling

No drills or classes to talk about... What are they gonna even talk about...

"Maa wants you to have lunch with us
Before we leave for Delhi ... If you can manage to come ...... "

"Naina please i don't want to bother your parents...
You really don't have to invite me "
He got all nervous and awkward

"It's not a trouble at all sir...
Waise bhi alekh will be cooking his famous handi chiken...
And baba is really looking forward to meet you
He really admire you...
I will be really happy if you can come"
She added the last line and immediately regret it..
No need to show so much desperation
She scold her self

But it worked

"I will be there around one "

She can imagine him smiling on phone...

She was so tempted to say
'i will be waiting '
But she didn't.

----------
She took a while to get ready this particular afternoon
Carefully deciding to wear grey or white.
Even took care special care of her hairs.. making them fall graciously on her shoulders

Applied a nude shade on lips and finally some Kohl for a change.

"Chudi aur bindi bhi laga le"
Alekh gave a deadpan comment as he was laying carelessly on bed getting bore with her grooming session.

",Tu Jake khana bana ... "
She barked back.

"Apun ka chiken tere se pehle ready hai...
Waise bhi tereko kya lagta hai
Tera kajal dekh kar sir teko propose kar denge...

Naina widen her eyes and checked the gate making sure they are not heard

"Chup kar... "

Alekh giggled and sat upright
And this time he said slowly

"Achcha hai na sir waise bhi aa hi rahe hain
Rishte ki bat bhi ho jayegi... "

And naina threw her nail filer on him

------------

"I would have taken you too
But i managed to arrange permission for just one person"
He said to alekh as he sat across the table for lunch.

"Ofcourse sir
Apun ko waise bhi bas Sona hai sir... Acedmy mein to ap log sone hi nahi dete ho

And rajveer chuckled

He was trying not to look directly at her
She was looking so breath taking in the most simple clothes also...
In case her parents notice something... According to Nandini it's always written on his face whenever around her

Her father asked the details of the investigation and he fill him with some new information as well
Assuring them genuinely that they are so on right track.

Before they left

Naina's mother came to Raj while he was in the garden

"I never got a chance to thank you properly
To be honest, i was so scared to send her KMA
But now I know you are there too and she will be safe with you being around"
She hold his hand to show her gratitude and rajveer felt overwhelmed
It feels good to be welcomed.

"She is a tough girl...
And even if i would have not been there she would have made her own way ..
She is just like her brother"

He kept his hand on her hand reassuring her that he got her back.

Her mother patted his cheek and he felt that it was a good idea to come for lunch.

--------

She took just a small back pack and he had offered her to pick that up too...

She was falling for him all over again
The open jeep, chilly weather.... When he made sure that she put on her seat belt
And leaned a bit to check it himself
the old songs .... Setting up the perfect ambience

She can't believe she is out with him
No one knows them here
They are free from all the regulation for time being

She can feel all the romantic things about him and she doesn't have to hide.
She wonders if he has gotten a hint by now.

It's a long way to go
She just felt that this trip never comes to an end.
