Nights have always been scary for both of them and mornings are full of hopes. These dark nights are always taking away their peace and mental stability but mornings have always been so friendly with them. Mornings give them hope to fight for what their heart is asking for. Mornings... they are  fresh and welcoming....

Naina's Pov

Turning and tossing is not helping her to get a peaceful sleep. Her thoughts are caging her soul to behave accordingly. Her heart wants to retaliate and refuse but it has given up. Why does it happen all the time? Why? She wanted to sort out and apologize but what she has in her hands was more confusion, frustration and anger.

Naina was continuously moving in her side of bed. Finally, she jerked up and walked downstairs. She helped herself with a black coffee. Taking her coffee mug in her hand, she marched towards sherry's room and made herself comfortable by resting her back by the headboard. She was deeply lost in her thoughts and subconsciously her mouth was sipping the coffee. Her face was devoid of any emotion and she was continuously staring at nothing but her eyes started shedding tears which She was not aware of.

"Mujhe samjh nhi aa raha hai ki main karne kya jati hoon aur ho kya jata h! Mujhe samjh nhi aa raha ki m unse maafi maangne kyu gyi thi aakhir? Kyuuu? Unhone us rat jo b kia tha vo galat tha... fr kyu mere mann ne mujhe unse maafi maangne ko kaha? Aur maine voh bat mani hi kyun? Mujhe nhi manni chahiye thi.. bilkul nhi... "

"Naina tu kbse itni selfish ho gyi? Capt shekhawat ne jo b kia... pr tu unki trh itna neeche nhi gir skti.. tu jaanti h ki unhone kbhi b kisi ldki ko lekar galat nazrein nhi rakhi.. fr tu aise kaise bol skti h? Tune glt kia Naina.. bhot glt! Aj fr tune apne gusse ko sahi aur galat pr haavi hone dia Naina.. kya galat kaha unhone.. tu waise b unhe glt smjhti h..toh fr unhe vo bn jane de jaisa tu unhe already dekh rahi h...",
Her shadow confronted her.

"Oh just shut up ... tum kehna chahti ho ki aj jo kuch b hua vo sahi tha?",
Naina replied back.

"Nahi... pr jo kuch b hua.. vo kyu hua Naina?  Tum hi btao mujje... ",
Her shadow questioned her.

"Maine kuch glt nhi kia.. suna tumne...maine kuch glt nhi kia...",
Naina retaliated.

"Mujje sabit mat karo Naina! Apne aap ko samjhao..",
Her shadow vanished after cross questioning her.

Naina was stunned to hear those words. Was she really trying to convince herself that she was right? Why does she doubt herself ? She should feel confident of herself, which she was nt because deep down she knows him.. understands him..

Rajveer's pov

"Ab har sawal ka jawab chahiye mujhe..."

"Arrrgghhhhh....kbhi dil kehta h ki jo apna h vo khud laut kar aajaega.. agr wapas nhi aaya toh vo apna tha hi nhi... "

"lekin fir dil kehta h ki lad uske liye jo tera h... jo mera hai, woh mujhe milna hi chahiye..kyunki bina lade is dunia me kuch nhi milta.. lad kunki ek fauji apni aakhri saans tak ladta h fr chahe vo jung ka maidan ho ya pyar ka..."

"Aur is baar main....."

With this, he smirked and packed a bag and left for somewhere. Naina was so mch lost in her thoughts that she didnt hear the sound of his jeep.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

"Good morning doc..."

"Captainnnn.... what a pleasant surprise.."

They both are smiling genuinely after a long time.. the bond they share is very special.. they hlp each other.. protect each other.. tease each other and support each other in every way and they Rajveer and Shalini. After losing his best friend Naveen, Shalini is one of his best friends. They are really close. Raj usually shares his personal problems with her though Shalini was a bit reserved in hiding her pain but later on she gave up and shared her all grief with him making their bond even more stronger.

"Bas vo kya hai na.. mujhe apse milna padh raha h... majburi u know...", he replied making a funny pout.

"Lgta h biwi ne ghar se nikal dia captain...", she chuckled.

With this his smile vanished which  didnt go unnoticed by Shalini but she avoided it to not stress him more.

Serving him a black coffee, she asked him,
"Aah ... btaiye capt.. subha k saade char bje me apki kya madad kar skti hoon?"

Raj realised tht it was early morning and he shud hv waited fr a bit more time but he sighed and looked straight towards her,
"Doc its something personal and confidential and i could nt trust anyone else."

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

Naina prepares breakfast and serves it to sherry. Sherry asks her about their last night encounter but Naina avoids talking about it.

"bhai kaha h bhabhi? Subha se dikhayi nhi diye."

"maine unhe subha se nhi dekha.. unki jeep b bahar nhi h.. "

"Oh.. lets go .. we r getting late... i think bhai wahi honge..."

"Hmm chlo.... sherry mera fon nhi mil raha h..tumne dekha h kya?"

"Nahi bhabhi... lgta h kal dinner table pr hi chut gya hoga.. "

"Yahi toh dr h sherry.. muje mera fon aise nhi chhodna chahiye tha... mujje aj ek phone ki sakht zarurat h"

"Koi bat nhi bhabhi hm aakar dhoond lenge.. mil jaega... bt abhi challlooo..... aur mera fon rakho apne pas abhi k liye... "

"Thanks sherry.."

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

"Doc its something personal and confidential and i could nt trust anyone else."

He looked at her hopefully to which she nodded and replied,

"Hmm... carry on.. m sun rahi hu..."

"Apko is blood sample ko check krna hoga.. i mean isme kuch... u hv to.. i mean..."

"Dont hesitate capt.. u can trust me!"

"Actually mujje lgta h koi muje drug kr raha h ya fr kuch toh h... i want u to test this sample... ye sample maine us waqt lia tha jb mujhe ehsaas hua tha ki shyd kuch gadbad h mere body k sath.. please ap isey jldi se check krke mujje btaye ki akhir aisa kuch h ya nhi.. aur agr hai toh  kis trh k drug ka istemaal kia ja raha h.. pr apko ye kaam bohot jld karna hoga Doc! I dnt hv tym. Please!"

She smiled and gave her answer in affirmation. They both went to the nearest lab personally and were asked to wait till 12'o clock. So fr tht time period they came bk to a nearest restaurant. Soon, Raj realised that he had left sherry n naina without informing thm and he need to check on the progress of their project. He sets the phone camera n he made a video call to Sherry, whose phone was with Naina. She reached towards Sherry to give her the phone but Sherry was busy with her project file, so she asked Naina  to take this call. She settled herself to the nearest chair of the desk where sherry was working. Unwillingly she swiped the screen of her fon to receive the video call.

"Sherr... Nainaah! Sherry  kaha h? "

"Wo kuch kam me busy h.. toh usne apka fon pick krne ko kaha. Any message?"

"Nahi.. just tell her that i m at KMA kisi se milna tha urgently and i wll b bk by evening... and...."

"And?"

"Usne agr file prepare kr li h toh ask her to mail it to me asap. I m waiting. Its an urgent file which can ....."

"Hiii rajjjjjjjjj..... oh my godddd m so happy that u r here to meet me.... m so happy", a female voice interrupted their video call.

Naina could only see a portion of a loose white top and a pair of sexy legs wearing  shorts in her mobile screen. The lady engulfed Raj with her hands on his neck from behind, to which rajveer turned to see her face and smiled the brightest.

"Nandiniiii....."

He stood up to  see her properly and she hugged him tightly to which raj too  carressed her back. Naina was watching the scene but she could only see their body's lower halves and her hand fisted tightly and jaw clenched. As she was nt able to see Nandini so close to him, without waiting further, she spoke,

"Agar apki baat puri ho gyi ho toh can i cut the call... SIR."

Hearing her voice, he sat back and continued,

"Just inform her to mail me and take care of sherry n yourse....."

He couldnt cmplt as Nandini interrupted inbetween. Nandini encased his neck from his back with her beautiful hands and rested her head on his head lightly. They were college friends and are very close, so he didnt find it odd.

"Hi Naina... so hw r u? Shadi kaisi chal rahi h? Are u enjoying this phase of your life?"

Naina was losing her patience now. She was burning with some unsaid emotions. Her face was red with anger, forehead creased and eyebrows arched.

"M fine  Nandini.. everything is good..", she  replied coldly.

"Tum yaha kyu nhi ayi.. hm kitna maze krte sab milte.. ryt Raj? (She looked at him and then bk to Naina)Naina  kash tum aayi hoti?"

"Bilkul aati nandini... bt agar koi lekar jana chahta toh.."

With this Rajveer  looked straight in her eyes through his phone n She was already glaring at him.

"Actually Sir ko kisi khaas se milne ki itni jaldi thi ki vo bhul hi gye ki ab vo SHADISHUDA Hain.... "

Raj was shocked to hear that word as she never tries to bring their relationship between any usual conversations cz she hates the fact that she is married to HIM. he was looking at her but she was focussing on something else, that is, Nandinis arms encircling raj's neck , which didnt go unnoticed by Rajveer.  He was still in shock but there was another blow by her,

"Aur vo bhul gye ki unki ek WIFE bhi hai!"

Her gaze was still fixed on her hands. After hearing her, Rajveer was stunned. His face was pale then after a few seconds a smile hovered on his face followed with a sad dull expression bk to his face  again. He felt unhappy to see her anger n hear her accusations but later his heart was happy as he found it to be because of jealousy and he smiled. But atlast he knew that he can never make her feel jealous as she doesnt feel any emotion fr him other than hatred and anger and his smile fainted.

"Take care... and Enjoy each others company.... ",
Without giving them time to reply back , Naina cut the call and walked to her cabin furiously!

Rajveer, Shalini and Nandini then chatted fr around two hours and had lunch but soon Nandini left leaving raj shalini at the restaurant. They too left soon to collect the reports. Shalini opened it and read it carefully. Her face was tensed to which raj asked her,

"Kya bat hai Doc? Sab thik h?"

"Capt... apki reports k according....................."

With clenched jaws, she threw the paper weight on the floor. Her anger was again at its best.

"Pta nhi m kyun itna soch rahi hu. Muje koi fark nhi pdta.. vo jaha marzi jaayein.. jo marzi karein.. jis marzi se milein.. i dont care.. i jst dont care.."

She was breathing heavily... she looked at the ceiling and sighed...

"I need to focus. Mujje pta lgana hi hoga ki un letters me kya tha.. agar vo likhey gye toh jalaya kyu unhe... aur agr jalana hi tha toh likhey kyu gye... vo confidential matters mein letters use nhi krenge... vo mail kr skte the confidential chize.. fr ye roz jaley huye letters milna... hr roz ek.. mujje bhot dhyan dena hoga hr chiz pr...." , she thought determinedly.
