Army Ball, Kerala.

She was looking stunning as usual but there was a different glow on her face which he never saw before, not even the day when Naveen was proved innocent. Her eyes had sparkling glint, there eyes met, something suddenly changed in her gaze, the way she was looking at him... May be it was longing?

They are meeting after 5 long years...... After her marriages.

Slowly with steady steps she comes near him a soft smile adoring her face. There eyes had many emotions altogether, contentment, longing, pain, love, accusation, care, question, softness, complaint, sorrow and what not.

Chalo ek bar phir se,
ajnabi ban jaye hum dono.

"Rajveer Sir/Naina" They said exactly at the same time and laughed, hiding their emotions which reflected in their eyes.

"Kaisi ho... " He asked.

"Kaisi dikh rahi hu.. " She said in hoarse voice.

"Kaafi khush dikh rahi ho... " He said.

"Haan... Abhinav bahot khayal jo rakhte hai mera... Lekin agar koi 5 saal pehle thodi si himmat dikhata, to or khush ho sakti thi" Her demeanor complaining.

He went silent not able to take her accusing gaze.

"Chaliye puraani baton ko chhodiye, jin baton se ab fark nahi padta, unhein yaad karne se koi fayda nahi" She said in defeated tone.

"To bataiye Major sahaab kaisi kat rahi hai... Suna hai apka ek aur promotion hone wala hai... Congratulations" She said genuinely being happy for him.

"Bas... Jee raha hu............... Be-maani sa. " He said in whisper.

"Be-maani sa to hamara milna aur rishta tha, jo kabhi kisi mukammal raah tak na pahonch paya". Her eyes screaming her pain.

For a second their eyes became moist, screaming to run away from this world where no one can understand them... In that moment they forgot everything, their surroundings, who they are, what their duties are... All they know is each other... Lost in the ocean of their eyes.

"Naina tum yaha ho... Mein kabse tumhe dhund raha hu... " It was Abhinav her husband, he noticed him "Captain Shekhawat... Sorry Maj. Shekhawat... It was nice to meet you" He shook his hand with him delightfully.

"Hello Captain Abhinav" He said with disinterested, eyes still glued on her and she trying to avoid his gaze.

Naa mai tumse koyee ummid rakhu dilnavazi ki, Naa tum meree taraf dekho galat andaz najaro se.

"App mujhe dhund rahe the na.. Chaliye" She said moving.

"Arey nahi kuch khas nahi... Tum baat karo after all apne mentor se itne saalo baad mil rahi ho"

"Batein karne ko kuch nahi hai ab... Chaliye" She left from. There with her husband.

He saw her talking to someone, when he on his own accord went near her and forwards his hand for dance, she saw that look in his eyes she too automatically gave her hand in his.

He took her on dance floor.. Pulls her closer, started swinging on the soft music... Not uttering a single word, letting their eyes do the talking like always.

Naa mere dil kee dhadkan ladkhadaye meree baton me, Naa jahir ho tumharee kashmkash kaa raaz nazro se, Chalo ek bar phir se ajnabi ban jaye hum dono.

Remembering their old days, how she used to barge inside his room like she owns it, how he shows his authority over her, supporting her always, how she shows her anger and he never gets offend... Telling him her small issue and he listened to her patiently never got irritate. They cried together, laughed together, smiled together, shared their sorrow, pain, joy and happiness..

Their first Dance to last dance...And then his cowardliness resulting her decision to marry someone else. Not able to take the feeling overwhelming feeling she left him there alone on the floor.

Tumhe bhee koyee uljhan rokatee hai peshkadmee se, Mujhe bhee log kehte hain, kee yeh jalve paraye hain.

She was standing outside, it was getting suffocating for her to stay in....watching waves clashing reflecting the condition of her inner self. She was distressed her past is in front of her. The past which she wasn't able to forget for a moment and will never be able to.......ever.

He came behind her "Kyu Naina, kyu tum thoda or nahi ruki, kyu gusse me tumne shaadi karne ka faisla kar diya... Kyu tum ne mere wapas lautne ki umeed me mera intezar nhi kiya". He looks at her accusing.

"Intezaar sirf waqt zayar karta hai, or waqt kabhi kisi ke liye nahi rukta... Mein aapki tarah mahaan nahi hu, Or kyu karti mein apka intezar.. " She looks at him accusing "Kyu rukti mein apke liye... Kya apne kabhi himmat dikhai.. Mujhse kehne ki.... Are mujhe chhodiye... Kya aap apne aap ko kabhi keh paye ki aap mujhse... " She stopped in between.

"Ladki hoke mein pure zamane se kehne ka dam bharti thi ki mujhe apse, apne mentor se, apne teacher se bepanah mohabbat hai lekin, aap darte the iss samaj se iss duniya se ki log kya kahenge...." She took a pause.

"aapka pyaar kamzor tha, app me itni himmat nahi thi ki aap mera hath zamne ke samne thaam sake... Aur keh sake... Ki tum meri ho, tum par sirf mera hak hai..." She finally let her tears flow not able to stop them anymore.

"Mein wahi khadi thi apna hath agey badhaye...Lekin aap iss samaj se darr gaye... Apne mera hath nahi thama... " She said crying and sobbing after years.

"Agar mein aaj tumhara hath thamna chahu to" Sho looks at him in amazement.

"kya aa jaogi tum mere pass... Chali aogi iss duniya ke samaj ke niyam, bandhan, kanoon tod ke... Chhod dogi usey jise duniya tumhara pati kehti hai.... Bolo, aaj mein apna haath agey badhaye khada hu... Thaam lo ye hath Or chalo yaha se... Aj mere pyaar mein itni takat hai ki samaj to kya puri duniya se tumhare liye lad sakta hu... To bolo... Thamogi mera hath" He said all this gathering lot of courage, forwards his hand, hoping for her approval..

She looks at his hand and smiles sadly "kaash ye sab apne 5 saal pehle kaha hota, kash.... Agar apne ye baat mujhse mere shaadi ke mandap pe kahi hoti na to bina ek pal gavaye apke pass chali ati... Lekin ab mein kisi ki patni hu" Tears flowing freely from their eyes.

"Jise samaj mera pati kehta hai.. Uss insaan ne mera hath tab thama jab apne thamne se inkaar kiya... Mera kal jante huye ki me kabhi unse waisi mohobbat nahi kar paungi jaisi meine apse ki fir bhi bina kisi umeed ke unhone mujhse bepanah pyaar kiya" She said with respect for him.. He felt jealous.

"Jitna mein apse pyaar karti hu... Utni hi unki izzat karti hu, itne saal beet gaye lekin kabhi unhone apna hak nahi jataya mujh par... Fir mein kaise... Kaise unhe wo hakk na deti jo unka hai... " He asks from his eyes that if what he is assuming is true, she blinked her eyes in affirmation.

She puts her hand on her stomach.... His heart stopped beating for a moment, imagining her....? He felt suffocated all of sudden.

"Mujhe umne apki parchai dikhti hai... " She said softly "koi shart nahi, koi umeed nhi, koi demand nhi... Unhone kabhi pyaar ke badle mujhse pyaar ki umeed nhi ki, mein kaise itni selfish ho sakti thi..... Jo insaan pyaar ka samandar mujhpe lutata gaya.. Mein kaise unhe unke hak se dur rakhti... Or kis ke liye... Jo mujhe beech raste chhod gaya... ". She closed her eyes sobbing.

He consoled himself, gathering courage, he wiped her tears "har pal apne aap ko kosta hu ki" Their forehead resting against each other's, fingers tangled in each other's "....kash mein thodi himmat dikha pata... Kash mein qubool kar pata ki, kitni mohobbat hai mujhe tumse, kash mein thoda dam bhar pata to aj tumhare sath khada hota...tumhare ane wale kal ka hissa hota....kashh... " Tears again took place in their eyes...

"Kasoor na apka tha na mera... Shayad hamari kismat hi hamse naraz hai, khushiya hume raas nahi ati... " Both crying together on their fate.

Tarruf rog ho jaye toh usako bhulna behtar, Talluk bojh ban jaye toh usako todna achchha.

"Shayad... Hamari kahani ka yahi ant hai" She nodded her head.. Feeling heavy in heart "kam se kam ye tasalli hai ki tum apni zindagi me agey badh gyi ho..... Or ab to tum apne jeevan ki naye padhav me kadam rakhne wali ho... Ek nayi zindagi ko jald hi janam dene wali ho" He said being delighted.

She nodded happily, "mujhe aisa ehsaas ho raha hai.. Pura yakeen hai ki.. Iske ane se meri zindagi ko ek nayi roshni milegi" keeping hand on her belly.

He chuckled funnily "I can't believe.. My Cadet Naina... Ahh Singh" Said in his usual style, making her laugh too.. Through tears "jo khud ek ziddi bacchi se kam nahi thi... Ab ek bacche ko janam degi". They looks at each other with smile. He kissed her forehead

"Mujhe ab jana hoga.... Wo intezaar kar rahe honge... Kisi ka itna imtehan lena bhi thik nahi" He nodded agreeing with her, she left him.

woh afsana jise anjam tak lana naa ho mumkin, Use ek khubsurat mod dekar chhodna achchha.

He saw them posing for camera with smile, he was analysis her husband's demeanor if there was any trace of doubt or lack of trust for her but he was satisfied when he found none.. Instead he found lots of love and respect in his eyes for her... Indeed he was best option for her.
He was satisfied, content and at peace after years.

Chalo ek bar phir se ajnabi ban jaye hum dono.
