All were heading towards their destination. Ali n puja were ready to disclose their relationship in front of their parents. Yudi was happy n madly in love with Shalini but Shalini was not aware of his feelings. She was not ready for another relationship, so she just wanted to stay away from the hope that she could also be loved by someone.

Huda was now happy with his wife. It was an arrange marriage. All thanks to Naina, she is the one who made him realise that he has to move on with his life. Deep down, Huda still loves Naina but he loves his wife more. This love was not a day's result. It has been two years... with each n every day, their trust on each other was growing... so was their love.. n now they are madly in love with other.

Alekh loved Neelu, but God knows what happened between them and today, they are not together. Alekh never talks about it... not even to Naina. There is something he was hiding from his friends. He was hiding the reason of their break up.... He was hiding his craving for a family of his own.. he wanted a world of his own. His wife ... his kids... he wanted to feel the love of a family. Naina's parent loves Alekh as their own son. They have made their will in the name of Alekh. They only had a house of their own n they wanted it to give to their both children i.e. Alekh n Naina. But Naina requested to give it to Alekh only. Alekh was touched by this. That was the day, his friends saw him crying for the first time. Now he lives with them. He is no more an orphan. He is finally having a family... HIS family... but deep down, he is still craving for someone with whom he can share his happy as well as sad moments....

After dropping their friends, Raj n Naina were back to home by late night. They were having their dinner in silence. Nobody could ever believe to see a newly wedded couple having their dinner in such a deadly silence. Raj was keeping his eyes on Naina and Naina was trying her best to avoid looking at him. He was finding it really mesmerizing to look at his love eating so peacefully. At one moment, Naina was happily eating her favourite Rajma which spilled down on her dress and she made a pout unawared of Rajveer's gaze. That time Rajveer was having his spoon near his mouth and was about to eat. Looking at Naina who was pouting cutely, his hand got frozen at the very moment with his mouth wide open ready for the spoonful rice which was not reaching to its destination any soon. She kept on cleaning her dress with her hankey until her eyes found him gazing at her with mouth wide open. She felt uncomfortable as hell. So she deliberately threw her spoon down on the floor by which he came out of her trance. The only sound echoing was of the spoon hitting the floor. Rajveer coughed to hide his embarrassment and ate rest of the food with his head n eyes down on his food.

Looking at the awkwardness of the moment, she hastily ate all of her food and left without waiting for Raj to finish his food. She went straight to the room and searched for her phone.

Naina : Damn this phone.... where the hell I left it.....

She was searching her phone madly as if she didnt find it, she would die... Raj by then, entered in their room, gauging the situation, he didn't utter a single word. He too started searching for her phone. And he found it.... on their dining table... she had left in so much hurry that she forgot her phone there....

Rajveer: here it is....

Rajveer handed her the phone. Naina took the phone and without thanking him, she left the room by saying...

Naina : Oh god ... networkkkk.....

She lied to avoid him and barged out of his room and went straight into the guest room.

Naina on phone call...

"Hello.... I m sorry I m calling you at this time. Sir... ummm ... actually.... actually Mai wapas apni duty join karna chahti hu.... asap...

M kal se join krlungi sir.... thank you Sir!"

She sighed in relief. Then she called each n every friend of hers, just to avoid going back to his room. On the other hand, Raj was waiting for her. He wanted to clear everything tonight. He wanted to answer her questions and wanted his own questions to be answered. It was quite late. He was still waiting for her but she didnt return . So he walked out of his room to find her in his not so big house.

Rajveer: Nainaa..... Naina ???

She heard him. As soon as she found him nearing the guest house, she pretended to sleep.

He found her sleeping on the sofa of the guest room in an uncomfortable position. He scooped her up in his arms and laid her on his bed in his room.

Holding her in his arms was a heavenly feeling for him. Her soft body touching his hard one , creating havoc in his mind, body and soul.

Naina was having a nasty and unpleasant feeling... she was uncomfortable with his touch.. Her mind was repelling his touch as if he was some kind of poison. If she wasnt faking her sleep, she would hv killed him for touching her. Her mind was continuously reminding her of his evil deeds.

He was going to bed, when he got a message on his phone. After reading the message, he went to the other room and called someone.

After sometime he also slept next to her, maintaining enough distance, which was uncovering the ugly reality of their relationship .

Naina who was all acting to sleep feels conscious to find him sleeping next to her. After she was sure, that he is in deep slumber, she got up and started walking in his room, passing her time.

Daytime did nothing to her but nights make her feel vulnerable. At daytime, she is strong.... confident... ready for everything like a lioness....but at night, she becomes weak..... fragile... broken... shattered.... scattered ....

Late in the night, she was back to bed.

"Bhayya ki chithi aayi hai maa... @$####@@ nainaa.. ye kya kar rahi h tu.... @$@@$$$$ bhayya dekhna mai bilkul bhi apki tarah nhi banungi...mujhse nhi hoga ye sab...@#$$// iske bhai ne desh ko bech dia... @$$$@=#/ teri kimat bhi lgayi hogi tere bhai ne @$#@##@#' tera bhai gaddaar tha.. @##### bhayyaaaaaaaa.........."

She jerked open her eyes.Her sweating frame was panting. After few minutes she realised where she was. She was sitting on his bed, a strong but warm hand was carressing her back. She turned to look and found him with care n concern in eyes. He handed her a glass of water, which was already on the side table. She drank it all in one go.

Out of concern Rajveer asked,

Are u alright?

She nodded! And looked at her alarm clock. It was quarter to four. Fifteen minutes of sleep lead her to a deadly dream.... only fifteen minutes of sleep....

He made her lay on the bed.

Raj : Tum so jao Naina subha hone me abhi kaafi waqt hai....

She didnt reply and closed her eyes to relax. Raj started caressing her forehead to make her sleep. Although the warm hands were vanishing her headache just by its touch, but she felt disgusted . With an air of disgust, she threatened him to remove his hands through her big eyes. Raj got the clue and removed his hands. He was continuously checking her well being but later he fell in sleep, out of tiredness. Naina, like always, was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, faking her sleep.

Raj woke up at five and after looking at peacefully sleeping Naina, he left for his regular jog.

Rashi, his maid's daughter and his so called sister, was working in his kitchen. Rajveer loves her like his own sister. She was here in his house because her mother was not well enough to cook for Rajveer. On behalf of her mother, she was cooking for them. Rajveer hardly comes to Delhi. But when he comes, Rashi n her mother take good care of him like a sister n mother respectively. This was Rajveer's love for them, which they were repaying through their own ways. They were grateful towards Rajveer for his immense love and financial help!

By the time he was back, Naina was nowhere to be found.

Rajveer : Rashi... Naina kaha hai?

Rashi : Bhayya vo chali gyi....

Rajveer : Usne nashta Kia tha?

Rashi : Ha bhayya... jo jo bhi aapne kaha tha unke liye banane ko... m bna di thi... unhone kha bhi lia pr bhot jldi jldi me khaya.. vo bar bar darwaze ki trf dekh rahi thi... shayad kisi ka intezar kar rahi thi.

Rajveer smirked and murmered,
Kisi ka intezar nhi.... vo kisi se bhaagne ki koshish me darwaze par nazar rakh rahi thi ....

Rashi : kuch kahaa aapne?

Rajveer: Nahi... tum plz mera nashta ready krdo m fatafat tayyar hokar ata hu...

He got ready and was waiting for his breakfast.

Rajveer : Rashi mera breakfast jldi lao... m late ho raha hu...

Rashi (from kitchen) : Laaaayi bhayya....

putting the breakfast plate in front of him, she asked

Rashi : bhayya aap bhi ja rahe hain???

Rajveer: Haan... and I am sorry... meri wajah se aaj ka tumhara college miss ho gya... kal se nashta mai khud bna lunga... tumhe aane ki zarurat nhi h... ok??

Rashi : Aisi koi bat nhi hai bhayya.. ab ap mujhe sharminda kar rahe hain..

Rajveer : Sry....acha chl m jata hu... tu bhi naashta kr lena...

Delhi headquarters....

Col. Anil Kumar: Brigadior K Khanna is incharge of your mission lt. Shekhawat! But you project will basically be supervised and headed by Major Shekhawat!

She was feeling breathless for a moment. Then she scolded herself mentally by saying,
Naina tu pagal ho gyi hai kya... frustrate hone ki kya zarurt? Dunia me ek hi shekhawat nhi hai... upr se captain aur major ke fark ko bhi bhul gyi kya tu...

Naina : sir... I have a few request!

Col. Anil Kumar : Shoot !

Naina: sir aapne kaha tha ki abhi aap mujhe srf Delhi based projects hi denge. I want to utilise my time, toh if you could give some night shift work as well! I hardly sleep. I just want to work harder this time. And....

Col. Anil Kumar : and???

Naina : sir plz m chahti hu yha workplace pr mere naam ko as it is rakha jaye.... Naina singh Ahluwalia....Mrs. Naina Rajveer Singh Shekhawat nhi.... plz sir!

Her senior looked at her questioningly and then he agreed with her and assured her for this.

Col. Anil Kumar : abhi tum ye file padh lo... n do collect information regarding this ... ur head and other team members will b joining you soon around 1300 hours! Now start working on ur next assignment! Good luck !

All the juniors were assembled in the presentation room. They all were waiting for a few more people to join.

And then entered Major Shekhawat with brigadior K Khanna. Naina could see brigadior but not major. And when he faced her, it was a shock of lifetime. The last thing, she ever wanted... it was Major Rajveer Singh Shekhawat.. smirking at her.. they both joined them and then entered Sherry...lt.sherry!

( Sherry left his bhayya n bhabhi on their reception night becz of some urgent work and now she s back )

Sherry : Lt. Sherry Mamta katyal reporting sir...

B. Khanna : at ease officer....

Sherry : Sry fr being late sir... i was in chandigarh and was just informed lately.

B.khanna : its alryt....

Brigadior briefed them all about their mission and informed them about Major Puneet Malhotra who will be joining the team soon to help them as he was working on this case from sometime and then brigadior left leaving a scared Naina. She was clearly terrified at the words and was shaking like a leaf. Somehow she composed herself.

Major Shekhawat was discussing the main issues. Naina was shocked... speechless... n what not... Keeping aside her wife's shocked face, Rajveer asked them to prepare their individual reports on their mission. It was already 6p.m by then. All were dismissed as some of them were coming from other states and badly needed some rest. Now they all have to report to him next day at sharp 900 hours! Rajveer informed Naina and Sherry that they hv to report to Colonel Anil Kumar in his office.

They all joined Col. Anil Kumar in his office with a salute.

Col : At ease officers!

Major Shekhawat : Sir aapne humein bulaya tha?

Col : ha maine bulaya tha. Par maine apne bete ko bulaya tha, officer ko nhi... actually i wanted to congratulate you for your success.... so congrats MAJOR Rajveer Singh Shekhawat. I m proud of you!

Rajveer touched his feet and took his blessings...

Sherry : bhaaii.... m so happy for u... apne muje bataya bhi nhi? Aur bhabhi aapne bhi nhi btaya....Not fairr....

Col : beta Rajveer ko bhi Kal rat hi pta chla promotion ka.. isme iski koi galti nhi h..

Sherry : but fir bhi.. party to deni hi pdegi...

Col : bilkul.... but mujhe ap logo se kuch aur b discuss karna tha....

Col : (Pointing towards Naina) actually humari beti chahti hai ki unhe yha mrs. Shekhawat nhi... balki srf Naina Singh Ahluwalia k jaise treat kiya jaye...

Raj n sherry looked at Naina in confusion....

Col. : So I want you all to behave accordingly. Please respect her decision. I know aap log bohot hi professional hain.. still m kehna chahunga. Ki ap apna bhai behen.... bhabhi... pati patni k rishte ko apne ghar hi chhod kar ayenge...( with a warm smile) am i clear ?

All nodded in a yes....

Rajveer was able to understand the hidden motive of Naina behind hiding her marital status. Naina didnt want his name to be added with hers. He was hurt .. hurt to the core. Hurt with the fact that she cant even tolerate his name after her!

Colonel Anil Kumar caressed Naina's head with love.

Col : ab khush?

She smiled and nodded looking at him.

Sherry hugged Rajveer and kissed him on his cheek. Naina was still trying to digest the fact she has to work under Rajveer... Major Rajveer Singh Shekhawat... her husband from whom she has been running away. Her plan failed miserably. There were thousands of questions haunting her. Was it all planned? Did col. Kumar do this intentionally? Was Rajveer the one who manipulated the whole situation just to be around her? Oh god she was confused.

Sherry shook Naina by her shoulders to bring her back to reality...

Sherry : Oh bhabhi kaha kho gyi aap??? Ooops sorry lt. Naina.... ap bhayya ko congratulate nhi karengi??

Raj n Naina shared an eye lock.

Sherry : ahm ahm... (she coughed) arey bhyi.. ek dusre ko ghurte hi rahoge ya kuch bolege bhi...

Naina : congratulations Major...

Sherry: bass??

Naina : matlab...

Sherry (smacking her head) : hey bhgwan..... arey mtlb jhaapi te pappi... kaun dega mera bhayya ko....

Rajveer and Naina gulped.

Rajveer: enough sherry..... Naina ne mujje congratulate kardia hai... ab tum dono wapas ghar jao... I ll join u both later... and

Stretching the word "and", he continued,

Rajveer (sternly) : sherry dont forget to behave professionally... No bhayya... No bhabhi.... r u getting my point?

Sherry (smiling and saluting to Rajveer ) : yes sirrr!

Rajveer n Naina smiled at her innocence...

Rajveer (winking at Sherry) : Dismiss!
