Naina helps sherry in unpacking and settling down in her room. They both were tired. By then, Rajveer was also back to home. Rajveer enters Sherry's room to finally have a word with his lovely sister. Naina and Sherry are discussing random stuff, when Rajveer joined them.

"did u rest fr sometime sherry ?"

"nt really... i was just unpacking my stuff. Bhabhi helped me in my unpacking."

Rajveer looked at Naina with a million  dollar smile to thank her which she reciprocated with a nod.

his voice was full of concern laced with fake anger,
"its alryt.. u can rest after dinner. But DO NOT SLEEP WITHOUT HAVING...",

"DINNER.... Oh bhayya ... u r still the same. M badi ho gyi hu.. relax.. bt yes i missed u a lot",
Sherry didnt let him continue as she finished it herself and winked at him.

"missed u too sherry.. I ll see you at dinner",
He enveloped her a warm long hug!

Rajveer smiled at her and was turning to leave, when sherry asked him about the call he made to her a week before.

"Bhayya... apne mujhe call kia tha n kaha tha that u wanted to talk about something? Tell me what is it?"

Rajveer fussily looks at Sherry and then at Naina. Naina could feel her presence was stopping Rajveer to talk to her sister. So she tried to leave them alone.

"actually mai fresh hokar ati hu... u guys continue", Naina said hesistantly, avoiding Rajveer's eyes.

Raj looked at her, and without wasting another second, blurted out,
"NO... not like that..plz dont go.. actually mai is bare me tum dono se bad me baat krunga... abhi mujhe kuch aur chize sort out krni hai.."

"thik hai bhayya. What about dinner? Neither Geeta aunty is here, nor Rashi. Who will cook dinner fr us?", Asked a confused sherry.

With a smile, Rajveer responded,
"vo actually geeta aunty is a bit unwell, So she wont come and Rashi will make dinner for all of us. She must be on her way. So just relax. Ha but subha nashta hume khud banana padega! I cant risk her classes."

"u know i cant COOK!",Sherry stated more like a fact and smiled sheepishly.

"dnt wry i ll make it.", he smiled and informed her.

"I can hlp...",Naina offered.

Raj looked at her, making her lower her eyes due  the awkwardness!

They had dinner discussing their last postings and then they all headed towards their rooms. It was a happy family dinner. Raj-Sherry and Naina-Sheery bonding was totally visible but Raj-Naina was nowhere to be seen in the so called 'happy family picture'. They hardly looked at each other at the dinner, which didnt go unnoticed by Sherry. But she avoided it, thinking it as to be a normal husband wife fight!

Naina was busy with her new mission. She was preparing her file which Rajveer had asked them all to make. Sherry was also working on the same thing but in her own room. Rajveer smiled and went down to kitchen to get some milk for all of them.  He handed both of them, the glasses full of milk. Then he called Alekh.

"Hello Alekh"

"Rajveer  sir???  ....... Naina thik h na sir?? Aap ... ap thik hai? Naina ne kuch kia kya?"

"relax Alekh.... sab thik h!"

"oh sry sir... apun ko lga ki kahin kuch...."

"I understand. Tum chinta mat kro m sab sambhal lunga.."

"actually alekh mujje tumse kuch bat  krni thi... tumhari abhi kuch chuttiyan bach rahi h na?"

"ji sir abhi toh apun ko wapas duty pr bulaya gya hai urgently par agle hafte tk apun ko wapas se kuch din ki chutti mil jaegi..."

"good.. actually alekh ...."  

"aap bejhijak bolo sir..."

"thanks alekh... m tumse kuch zaruri bat karna chahta tha... thodi personal hai.. darne wali koi bat nhi h toh relax !"

"ji sir kahiye"

"nhi tum next week tk yaha aajao... tb m aram se bat krunga. Agr tumhe koi dikkat na ho toh?"

"apun aajaega sir.. aur aane se pehle apko bta b dega.."

"excellent.. chlo fr... see u then... god night"

"good night sir aur haan sir Naina ka khyal rakhiyega"

"Bilkul saale sahab!"

Rajveer felt relieved and gulped dwn his milk. He entered his room to find Naina was still working. Rajveer went straight to his bed to sleep. Soon he was peacefully enjoying his sleep. Naina was done with her work and sleep was nowhere to be found. Raj woke up due to some noise and he saw her, sitting on her  chair looking at her brother's picture and sobbing. It was 2 a.m. He didnt want to hurt her more, So he kept his eyes closed as he knew she hates him and she wouldnt like her being consoled by him. He was not able to sleep because of the tears he saw in her eyes when  she was looking at Naveen's picture. He kept his pretence. Its been an hour since he saw her crying. Naina was now standing in the balcony, looking at the dark sky. Raj saw her and couldn't control anymore. Finally he walked towards her, and stood next to her, facing the sky.

It took a lot of courage to him. Seriously a LOT OF COURAGE to talk to her.

"Neend nhi aa rahi Naina ?"

Naina didnt reply. He tried his luck again,
"tum so kyu nhi rahi ho? Tumhara kam kbka khtm ho gya h.. take some rest"

Naina felt irritated and replied bitterly,
"apse mtlb?"

Raj felt a lil happy thinking, atleast she is replying.
"Naina kab tak aise chalta rahega?"

She looked at him straight in his eyes with anger,
" jb tk apke gunaaho ki sazaa apko nhi mil jati"

Naina turned to leave but Rajveer was faster than her. He grabbed her one hand by her wrist. They were back facing each other. Rajveer held her  hand tight and pulled  her hand to make her face him... looking directly into her eyes....

"toh kya sazaa h meri? Mujhe btao Naina... m sab kuch  jhelne k liye tayyar hu... batao meri sazaa.."

He was pleading through his eyes as it was impossible for him to control anymore.

Naina gritted her teeth and replied with a smirk,
"apke liye koi sazaa nhi h... aur yahi aapki sazaa hai... n now leave my hand"

She tried to release her hand from his strong grip but all in vain. Her face was red with anger and frustration. His touch was unacceptable to her. Rajveer was determined to end this fight today.

He continued,
"Naina.... plz aise kisi ka kya bhalaa hoga? Tum kya achieve krne ki koshish kr rahi ho?"

"sukun milega mujje apko tadapte dekhkar..."
Replied naina angrily.

Rajveer too responded angrily,
"aur tumhe sukun mila? Come on Naina tum janti ho ki mujhe taklif pahunchakar tumhe sukun nhi milega?"

Naina retorted,
"ye apki galat fehmi h"

Tired of their conversation, Rajveer said,
"Naina m tumhe aakhri baar bol raha hu ki tum khud faisla lelo....usse pehle ki sab barbad ho jaye.."

Naina who was not looking at him, now looked at him questioningly.
"kaisa faisla???"

"yahi ki tum ya toh ye bta do ki tum mujhse kya chahti ho...."

Rajveer replied calmly but Naina cut him inbetween,

"ab m aapse kya chahungi... mujhe aapse kuch nhi chahiye..."

"plzzzzz.....",
Rajveer pleaded.

"captain mujje apse kuch nhi chahiye...",
She replied in a hushed tone.

Rajveer lost his cool,
"but  mujhe chahiye..."

Naina smirked at him and said curtly,
"jo aap  chahte h vo aapko nhi mil skta..."

Rajveer was confused as how come she knows what he wants from her. He sensed something odd and asked her,
"toh tum janti ho ki mujhe kya chahiye.... ?"

"dekhiye capt Shekhawat.... mujhe apki soch aur aukaat dono ki bohot ache se jaankari h.... ab apki bhi kuch zarurate hain..is shadi se kuch  khwahishein hain.. bt m sry mai apki ghatiya soch ko kabhi bhi kaamyab nhi hone dungi",
She replied in a disgusted tone.

Thadddd.....

It was impossible for him to control his anger after hearing her words dipped in venom. He slapped her. He did it unconsciously. His mind was blogged with anger and her words kept on coming back to his ears.

He held her by her shoulders. His eyes were bloodshot red. Shaking her shoulders with anger, he said,

"kya kaha tumne? Naina tumhari  himmat b kaise huyi mere bare me aise bat krne ki? Tumhe lga ki m tumse ye sab chahta hu? For god sake Naina... apni ghatiya soch ko roko..."

Naina removed his hands angrily from her shoulders and continued,

"awww bura lgaa? Chhh chh ch ..... mtlb glt m soch rahi hu?"

If he was seething in anger before , now he was mad with rage!
"tumhara dimag khrab ho gya hai Naina ... Naveen ki maut me andhi ho gyi ho tum... "

Naina pushed him away in anger and responded him in a loud voice,
"Oh jst shut up..... dimag apka khrab hua h mera nahin... apke sapne jo tut gye? Shadi k bad apko jo chahiye tha vo kbhi mila hi nhi aur na hi milega..."

Rajveer was just done with Naina. He was just beyond his control.

"just SHUT UP! Bohot ho gyi tumhari bakwas... bohot ho gyi..... tumhe lgta h ki tum muje rok logi agr m aisa krna chahu toh? Dnt u dare think ki m aisa nhi kr sakta...",
Raj said it all pointing his finger at her!

He went closer to her. She kept on stepping back until she collided with the wall. He caged her with both his hands on either side of her face on the wall. His hands were gripping hers and were pinned on the wall. She was trying hard to get out of his grip. His face was nearing to hers. They could feel each other's heavy breaths. Their bodies was so close to each other, but still Rajveer maintained a fine line between his body and hers. He only gripped her hands on the wall without giving her, any unwanted touch. The way he was coming close to her face, their  heart beats were racing with each others. When it looked like as if  he was about to kiss her, she stopped fighting to get out of his hold. She closed her eyes, gulped down  the air. Her lips were shivering. Rajveer noticed her sudden reaction and felt frozen for the moment. He took some time to analyse her behaviour. He looked at her questiongly and confusingly. After a couple of seconds, he left her hands and she opened her eyes in response, to which he smirked while backing off. Then he noticed something unexpected. A lone tear escaped her eyes forming her way down to her cheek. His eyes were moving exactly in sync with the tear until it vanished. Then he looked at her with a pool of emotions fighting in his heart.

"Toh ab tk tumhe samjh aa gya hoga ki m jo chahu kar sakta hu... pr m aisa kuch nhi karunga Naina.... kunki m ye nahi hu... mera standard or soch dono hi itne gire huye nhi h.. aur agr isi k liye maine shadi ki hoti ya yahi sab m chahta tha, toh Naina , trust me... uske liye mujhe shadi krne ki zrurt hi nhi thi.. hazaro ladkiyan khushi khushi ......",
He trailed off.....

Yes he was not going to kiss her or touch her without her consent. It was just to tell her that what she thinks of him is all wrong and baseless.

He walked towards the door and turned back to complete his incomplete conversation,
"Aur ek baat Naina...  agar m tumhare sath kuch karunga bhi naa... toh yakeen maano....."

He took a pause of few seconds and Naina was looking at him, waiting for him to complete.

"Toh yakeen mano...tum mujhe  rokogi bhi nahin Naina... chaho toh aazma kar dekh lena!"

She looked at him in shock as if somebody has thrown icy cold water on her face.

Rajveer still looking straight in his eyes but this time warmly and full of love and care,

"Sirf ek bat samajh lo naina.... Mai sirf tumhara hu.... chahe izzat kro apna mentor samjh kr...chahe nafrat kro apne bhai ka kaatil samjh kr..... aur  chahe ..... chaahe pyar kro apna.... "

He left his sentence incomplete and took a deep breathe and continued,

"Bs khud ko is nafrat me mat dhakelo Naina.... tum jo chahe kro mere sath pr km se km khud toh khush raho!"

By saying this, he left his room!
