Shaking his head out of blush and shyness, he thinks something then says, his eyes lowered, blushing constantly, "Naveen, mera aur Naina ka rishta aisa nahi hai!", thinking about Naina's and his relationship. "Aisa nahi hai matlab?" asks Naveen, tensed suddenly. "Naveen... Naina meri protegee hai, main uska mentor hun... I mean, main janta hun ki meri uske prati kya zimmedari hai..." sighs Raj, unable to word his feelings properly. Then looking towards Naveen, Raj dictates him the whole story of his and Naina.

After hearing the story, "Meri choti si Naina itni badi ho gayi ki sarey dard khud seh rahi hai? Wo bhi kiski wajah se? Meri?", utters Naveen, getting emotional."Naveen..." consoles Raj, placing his hand on Naveen's shoulder. "Teri behn akeli nahi hai! Mera bharosa kar, jis din se mujhey ye pata chala ki wo teri behn hai, main har pal uske saath hun. Har pal! Uski har activity par meri nazar thi" assures Raj. "Aur ab to tu bhi hai uske saath, hum dono Naina ke upar ab koi aanch nahi aney denge". Getting emotional, they hug each-other.

Wiping away his tears, Naveen says, "Acha sunn ek kaam kar" "Bol""Yahan aas-paas koi mandir ho to wahan se sindoor le aa" "Naveen tu iss halat mein shaadi karna chahta hai? Yaar tu theek ho ja ek baar fir tu jis bhi kani-behri, jis bhi ladki se bolega main teri shadi karwa dunga!" jokes Raj. "Raj tu mujhse pitne ke kaam mat kar!" jokes Naveen, causing both of them to laugh. "Ab ja aur jaldi se sindoor le aa" orders Naveen. "Yes Sir!" says Raj and goes in search of sindoor.

~*~*~ PRESENT ~*~*~

"Hmmm... to apne mujhse jhoot kaha!" her statement succeeds in skipping his heartbeat."Jhoot?" he asks, holding his breath, trying to anticipate what's coming up next."Haan jhoot! Uss waqt jab main apse milne ayi, yahan aane ke liye, aap uss waqt aise show kar rahe the as if apko bilkul bhi idea na ho ki humein yahan aana tha. Jis wajah se main aap par gussa bhi hui!" Her words make him to laugh. But on the other hand Naina gets angry."Naina..." he starts to say, still laughing. "Oh God!" he swears. This makes her to laugh too! They both end up laughing.

(Rajveer-Naina fast tune begins in the background)

"Aap sindoor lene gaye the, aur mujhey apne aisa show kia jaise apko yaad hi nahi ki hum yahan aney waley hain!"scolds Naina, lovingly.

*FLASHBACK*

"Le le aaya! Ab bata kya karun main iska?" asks Raj, as he hands the tiny box containing the vermilion over to Naveen. And before Naveen could answer, Raj says, suddenly shocked, showing his index finger, "A... ek minute! Dekh main aisa waisa ladka nahi hun, I hope tu bhi nahi hai". Then looking anywhere but at Naveen and controlling his laugh Raj says, "agar tu kuch aisa-waisa karne ka soch raha hai to..." before he could complete his line, the pillow lands on him and it makes him to laugh, Naveen laughs too. "Idhar baith ab!" orders Naveen. "Ji boliye!" says Raj, smiling, bowing in front of Naveen as he sits. "Ye le, jisko haq hai issey lagane ka usey laga de!" smiles Naveen as he gives the vermilion back to Raj. His words make Raj emotional."Naveen..." he could manage to say only this much as a lump builds in his throat, out of too much emotion. Raj hugs Naveen tightly. His hug, a gesture of his gratitude and love towards Naveen.

"Naveen I hope tujhey koi aitraaz nahi hai?" asks Raj for his permission. "Kaisi baat kar raha hai yaar. Main to bohot khush hun". Raj smiles wholeheartedly. Then Naveen continues, "Ab main tujhey har waqt saley-saley karke jo bula paunga, to mujhey bura kyun lagega?", saying this Naveen tries to keep a straight face. His last statement succeeds in irking Raj. Smiling, he presses Naveen's neck with both his hands, lovingly, "tu nahi sudhrega!" They both end up laughing and Raj tells him, "Oh... I missed you Naveen. I missed this fun!" both give a sad smile to each other.

~*~*~ PRESENT ~*~*~

Rajveer looks at her and laughs. "Ahmm... bohot der ho chuki hai, I think ab humein chalna chahiye" suggests Naina.Smiling, he says, "haan chalte hain" saying this they get up, Rajveer holds her hand. They look into each other's eyes, Rajveer holds her hand. They look into each other's eyes, Rajveer hugs her and thinks 'Naina I am sorry main tumse teen batein chupa raha hun... ek ye ki Naveen zinda hai, dusri ye ki Naveen aur Dr. Mishra ke beech rishta tha, aur teesra ye ki...' sighs Rajveer, shaking his head, still unable to believe the truth.

*****

Soon they reach the academy. While walking on the road around KMA, Rajveer brushes the knuckles of Naina's hand, something he had been enjoying throughout the journey back to KMA."Rajveer" says Naina in a hushed voice."Hmm..." smiles Rajveer."Apko pata hai mujhey ab har pal apko Rajveer karke hi bulane ka mann kar raha hai" confesses Naina in a hushed voice, blushing.Laughing a little, Rajveer says, "to bulao, roka kisne hai?" Sighing, she says, "academy mein kaise bulaungi?" Closing his eyes, sighing at her innocence, Rajveer says,"maine tumse kaha na jab hum akele honge to tum mujhey Rajveer karke hi bulaogi". "Haan par hum humesha to nahi mil payenge na, akele!" she lowers her voice as she says 'akele'. "Hmm.." says Rajveer, as they reach the gate of KMA. Pulling her to a corner outside KMA main hall, Rajveer places his arms on her shoulders, forcing her to come closer and tells her, "abse har raat lights out hone ke baad tum mujhse mere room mein milne aogi!" "Raj..." as she starts with her denial, Rajveer places his index finger on her lips, "it's an order Mrs. Rajveer Singh Shekhawat!" smiles Rajveer. Naina creases her brows, then smiles wholeheartedly. "Oh haan!" says Rajveer, remembering something. Bringing out his handkerchief, he lovingly wipes the sindoor off hermaang. Looking into her eyes, he smiles. Naina smiles a little too, controlling her emotions. Moving towards her, he kisses her forehead lovingly, as a result Naina closes her eyes, feeling his lips on her forehead. Rajveer puts the handkerchief back into his pocket, smiling, they get into the academy.

*****
As they enter the academy, carefully tip-toeing, without making any noise, Rajveer whispers to Naina,"tumhe bhook nahi lagi?" Naina whispers back, holding him by his upper arm, "haan lagi to hai!" Smiling, he says, "to chalo khana kha lete hain!""Khana? Par mess to band hoga" says Naina. "Naina tumne school mein kabhi koi masti nahi ki kya?"asks Rajveer, as naughtiness takes over his otherwise serious nature. Naina blushes and lowers her eyes , nodding her head to a 'no'! Smiling, Rajveer shakes his head too and says, "you know what Naina kabhi kabar mujhey shaq hota hai, tum Naveen ki apni behn hi ho na?" Listening the question makes Naina to shake her head as she finds it unbelievable that he actually asked that question to her. She beats him lovingly on his upper hand and scolds him,"Rajveer...!"

Laughing he says, "tumhe pata hai humare group mein zyada tar aise uut-patang ideas Naveen hi lekar aata tha. Aur ladkiyon ko patane mein to subse agey Naveen hi rehta tha"! "To pati thi koi ladki Bhaiya se?" Naina shies as she asks this question to Rajveer. Her question drains the blood out of his face, and suddenly he realizes that he shouldn't have started with this topic! Lowering his eyes he says, "ahmm... main nahi janta!" "Aur wo ladki jiski pic apne dekhi thi mere hathon se lekar?" asks Naina. Her question reminds Rajveer of the incident that took place on the day when they were going for the mentorship program. He remembering grabbing the picture from her, and they didn't talk about it during the whole mentorship program. He gets goosebumps on realizing that, that picture was indeed of Dr.Mishra!

Although her face was covered with mask in the pic but it was indeed Dr. Mishra! How couldn't he recognize at that time? He scolds himself mentally, for being so foolish. Shaking his head, and looking anywhere but towards Naina, he says, "main nahi janta!" Sighing, he says, "now enough Naina, mujhey bhook lagi hai", smiles Rajveer. Naina smiles back.

Naina walks forth in the darkness of the mess to switch on the lights. Being fully familiar with the mess helps her to walk properly without tripping, even in the darkness, making her way to the switchboard accurately. But as she was about to switch on the lights of the mess, Rajveer grabs her hand and says,"rukko!"

Searching something from Suriji's counter, he gets to Naina. Grabbing her hand he walks to the nearby table and lights the candle with a matchstick both of which he succeeded in finding somehow. Naina smiles at his thought.

(Rajveer-Naina slow tune begins in the background)

Then he says, "chalo ab dekhte hain Suriji ne aaj kya banaya tha". Smiling they walk to the cooking counter and search the refrigerator but find it empty. Naina laughs and teases him, "aaj Captain Rajveer Singh Shekhawat ne jo chaha wo nahi mila unhe!" Blushing, he turns to look at Naina, "mera mazak mat udao!"warns Rajveer, then smiles. Turning back he was about to search more that he remembers something and turns again to address Naina and says, "Waise trust me mujhey jo chahiye tha wo mujhey mil gaya hai!" Naina understands what is he referring to! They keep staring each other, soon Naina lowers her eyes out of shyness.

(Rajveer-Naina tune goes on in the background as they stare each other)

Clearing her throat Naina teases him, "waise mujhey to laga tha ki apko cooking aati hai!" "Madam mujhey cooking bohot achi tarah aati hai" declares Rajveer. "To fir?" asks Naina amused."Abhi kuch banane ka mann nahi kar raha!" says Rajveer, making a puppy face. Laughing, Naina offers, "koi baat nahi main bana deti hoon". Raising an eyebrow, Rajveer asks, "tumhe khana banana ata hai?"  Raising an eyebrow too, Naina answers back, "to apko kya laga, mujhey ghar ka kaam karna nahi ata? I mean ye sub cooking and all?" Naina dares him to answer. Rajveer blushes, feeling ashamed of having thought that way about Naina. "Hatiye ab! Ab apko dikhati hun ki aapne kisey shadi ki hai!" says Naina, proudly. It makes Rajveer to laugh.

Tying the duppatta diagonally from her right shoulder to the left side of her waist, Naina stands in front of the kitchen slab of the mess. Grabbing the ingredients required to cook the food quickly, she starts cooking, careful, without creating much noise.
Rajveer enjoys her dominating nature and also seeing her in the kitchen, like a normal wife cooking for her husband for the first time. "Waise hum apke room ke kitchen mein bhi to khana bana sakte the?"remembers Naina, as she mixes few ingredients."Mere kitchen mein tumhe raw vegetables nahi milega Naina, mera khana mess se hi aata hai. Kabhi kabar jab mujhey kuch khud cook karne ka mann karta hai to main Suriji se raw vegetables mangwa leta hun" says Rajveer as he stands inside the kitchen, resting his back by the counter and enjoys seeing Naina cooking."Hmm... Suriji kafi saalon se yahan kaam karte hain na?" asks Naina, busy with her cooking process. "Haan aur KMA se unhe bohot lagaw hai. Unka ghar-parivar sub kuch KMA hi hai",smiles Rajveer."Aap bhi to KMA ko hi apna ghar mante hain!" says Naina, as she covers the utensil. which is on the stove and waits for the food to get cooked."Haan KMA hi mera sub kuch hai", says Rajveer, giving a sad smile. Realizing that he is getting emotional, Naina quickly asks, to divert his mind, "aur main?"

(Rajveer-Naina tune begins in the background)

Her question makes Rajveer to smile wholeheartedly as they stare each other. Naina lowers her eyes knowing he won't answer, but understanding his unsaid words properly.

As she gets indulged in the cooking, Rajveer stares her. Walking towards her, staring her the whole time, while she is busy with her cooking. She understands that he is coming to her, but chooses to focus on her work rather than on him.

(Rajveer-Naina slow tune begins in the background)

Reaching her, he stands behind Naina. Naina doesn't react and tries to focus on her work. At first Rajveer hesitates a little but the dim light of the mess and the fact that they are all alone give him all the courage and he knows that she won't mind his dominance! She had never mind before, so why would she mind now? And that is it, he corners Naina's hair to the left, as a result Naina turns her free hand into a fist, trying to control her emotions and increasing heartbeats. Her reaction makes her bangles to chime. Getting closer to her right side of neck, Rajveer blows there causing her to shiver. Rajveer enjoys looking at her each reaction to his sweet torture. His constant gaze on her, makes her cheeks to turn red hot out of shyness. Rajveer places a soft kiss on the nape of her neck, which affects her so much that she knits her brows, her eyes closed, as she feels the touch of his lips on her neck. Then slowly he unscrews her earrings, which are his first gift to his wife. As he pulls each of her earring, he does that with more force than was required. It makes her to cry in pleasurable pain!

He turns her towards him. Her eyes cascaded down out of shyness. "Naina... agar tum ye nahi chahti to it's okay, main agey nahi badhunga" assures Rajveer."Shayad aaj main ready nahi hun, mujhey thoda waqt chahiye. Kya itni jaldi agey badhna zaruri hai?"asks Naina, hesitatingly, looking into his eyes. Smiling, he shakes his head to assure her, "nahi bilkul nahi!"His answer makes her to relax. She releases the air she had been holding in her lungs while conveying her feelings to him about the sudden change in the scenario. He doesn't fail to notice that she was nervous while asking him to stop. Shaking his head, he tells her, "Naina! Hum ek dusre ko samajhte hain, humare rishte ko samajhte hai. Tumhe mujhse kuch bhi kehne ya mangne se hesitate karne ki zarurat nahi hai. Tum jaise chahogi humara rishta ussi tarah agey badhega" assures Rajveer, smiling. Looking towards him, Naina smiles wholeheartedly on realizing yet again that he understands her completely. "Acha tum ek kaam karo, kahan bana lo main..." he indicates with his thumb, that he'll leave now. "Ahmm... well main room mein wait karta hun. Is it okay with you?" "Yeah sure!" assures Naina, smiling. Smiling back, Rajveer leaves the room.

                                           After sometime

Naina pushes the door open of Rajveer's room with her elbow and enters the room, holding a tray of food in her hand. Her face having an expression of frown and she starts scolding Rajveer, "aap yahan aa gaye, apne meri help bhi nahi ki. Apko pata hai..." as she was about to continue with her scoldings, she realizes where she is, in a room with many flickering dim yellow lights.

                  (Rajveer-Naina tune begins in the background)

She notices that the lights are of nothing but of ignited candles. The scenario in front of her - so many candles emitting light and heat, and the person sitting amidst them on his couch, is the one holding the utmost power to lighten her life and to heat up her cheeks, out of blush, makes the scenario much more beautiful, something she would like to behold forever!

The ignited candles are the only source of light in the otherwise dark room. The whole scenario succeeds in bringing a smile on her face. All of this reminds her of the day when they went for the date! Their first date ever! Rajveer ignites the last candle, kept on the center table in front of him, as she enters. He raises his eyes to look at her, all serious. His eyes giving away all his feelings for her and his ulterior motives! She places the tray on the center table, busy looking around her and says in utter surprise, smiling, "Ye sub kya hai? Mujhey laga hum mess mein hi dinner karenge! Dinner yahan?" asks Naina, smiling, loving and enjoying it thoroughly, what she is witnessing.

(Very slow Rajveer-Naina piano tune begins in the background)

Getting up Rajveer walks up to her and says, closing the matchbox that he is carrying, "Naina shadi ka subse bada rule hota hai 'trust'" "Hum ek dusre par kitna bharosa karte hain, kitna vishwas karte hain!"says Rajveer, tucking his hand into his jeans' pockets. Naina exhales, understanding where this whole conversation is leading towards. "Main nahi janta ki ab humara rishta, humari zindagi kya mod le, par humare iss rishte ko agey badhane se pehle main tumse kuch puchna chahta hun!", looking intently into her eyes. "Ji puchiye!" says Naina, sincerely. "Kitna bharosa hai tumhe mujh par? Kitna trust karti ho tum mujh par?" asks Rajveer, looking deeply into her eyes. "Aap aise kyun puch rahe hain? Aap achi tarah se jante hain ki KMA mein agar main kisi par ankhein band karke bharosa karti hun, to wo aap hain!" Getting closer to her, looking intently into her eyes, he asks again, "Naina kitna trust karti ho mujh par?" "Kis hadd tak?" and keeps staring her, smiling, waiting desperately for an answer."Aap mera vishwas kijiye!" her voice reflects her sincerity. Smiling, he moves to her back and holds her by her shoulders and asks her to sit on the couch, "baitho!" and himself sits on the bed, facing her, his feet touching the floor,"Naina aisi baat nahi hai. But just think a bit differently... Main janta hun par Cadet Naina Singh ko, Naina Singh ko nahi. Main janta hun ki Cadet Naina Singh Ahluwalia apne mentor Captain Rajveer Singh Shekhawat par pura bharosa karti hai. Par Naina Singh Shekhawat, apne pati Rajveer Singh Shekhawat par kitna bharosa karti hai? Kyunki bina KMA ke uniform ke Naina ko to main janta hi nahi"says Rajveer. Naina stares at him, understanding the meaning of his words accurately. Rajveer waits for her to say something. "Par main Naina hi to hun" says Naina, lowering her eyes. Smiling on realizing that she is able to understand his words accurately but is still trying to act innocent, he says, "tum Naina nahi ho! Wo Naina jissey main janna chahta hun" Then relaxing and changing his posture a little, lowering his eyes, he asks, "Naveen ki maut se pehle wali Naina!"He secretly feels guilty on addressing him dead, but he had to do this! Suddenly, Naina stands up and fills the plate with food.

Sitting next to him on the bed, she looks at him. Rajveer shifts away a little so that he can face her.

Preparing a bite, Naina takes it towards his mouth. As Rajveer puts it into his mouth, staring her this whole time, Naina tells, "utna jitna Naina apne Ma-Baba aur apne Bhai par karti hai!" Then she puts another bite into his mouth and says, "utna jitna wo apne mentor Captain Rajveer Singh Shekhawat par karti hai". Preparing the third bite, she says, "utna jitna...",she stares him before saying further...

(Rajveer-Naina slow tune begins)

Then lowering her eyes, out of sheer shyness, she says,"jitna har 'Patni' apne 'Pati' par karti hai"!

(Rajveer-Naina fast tune begins)

Rajveer keeps staring her. Taking the plate from her hand he places it on the table and pulls her to him, reducing the distance between them. Naina doesn't make any effort to get away. Her cheeks turn red hot out of shyness, and Rajveer remembers yet again that she isn't ready yet, in fact he himself doesn't want to rush.

Closing his eyes, he shakes his head, clearing his mind! Then reaching her left cheek, he blows. His blowing on her hot cheek makes her to shiver. Unable to understand how should she react to make him understand that she is liking whatever is going on between them, what he is doing to her, she ends up brushing the back of his left hand at a particular rhythm.

Enjoying her gesture, taking it as a signal that she is enjoying what is going on between them, Rajveer reaches her ear and whispers, "bohot intezaar kia hai tum par apna haq jatane ke liye Naina. Tabse kar raha hun intezaar jabse maine tumhe pehli baar dekha tha, pehli baar mila tha tumhare room mein"As he says this, their first meeting in Naina's room floats in front of her eyes. Naina whispers, "par uss din to apne mujhey dekha tak nahi tha!" Smiling Rajveer tells her, "han, nahi dekha tha Naina, par tumse ek anjana sa rishta judd gaya tha mera. Mujhey tumse pehle itni daring 'first year' ki cadet kabhi nahi mili. Main samjh gaya tha ki tum mein kuch baat zarur hai. Fir jab tum sub ko assemble hone ko kaha gaya tab bhi main samjh gaya tha ki wo tum ho jissey main mila tha! Mila tha, par dekha nahi tha!", he smiles again. Naina blushes and lowers her eyes on listening to his words. Then he tells her,"janti ho Naina uss din tumhare room mein jab main aya tha, main academy mein ussi din wapas aya tha. Kisi kaam ke silsiley mein bahar gaya hua tha. Akar Dr. Shalini se mila" smiling, at the thought of Dr. Shalini, he continues, "unhone mujhse pucha tha ki ab ki baar main new cadets ke saath strict rahunga ya waise hi friendly relation rahega jaisa last year tha. To.." laughing a little he continues, "to isliye uss din maine tumse wo sub karwaya. Mera koi aur motive nahi tha tumhe tang karne ka!"

Naina remembers the incident as he says this...

"This is your first task cadet" "Sir!" "Search for your uniform bag, carry it and bring it to where I am standing" Naina searches for her luggage, not fully familiar with the room, makes her to stumbles in the darkness. As a result she hurts her left knee, but doesn't complain. Feeling concerned Rajveer asks, "Are you okay Cadet?" Naina holds the bed post, for support, but she tries hard to keep away the shakiness from her voice."Yes Sir!" she manages to reply.
But Rajveer's experience tells him that she is lying. "It's okay Cadet. Let's just forget the task for now, come..." as Rajveer was about to speak further, Naina interrupts him. "I am fine Sir. Main itni kamzor nahi ki ek choti si chont se darr jaun. Mere iraadey itne kamzor nahi Sir". Her determination brings a smile on Rajveer's face. "Alright Cadet, I'll take your leave now" saying this Captain Rajveer leaves, without giving her chance to reply.

But Rajveer's experience tells him that she is lying. "It's okay Cadet. Let's just forget the task for now, come..." as Rajveer was about to speak further, Naina interrupts him. "I am fine Sir. Main itni kamzor nahi ki ek choti si chont se darr jaun. Mere iraadey itne kamzor nahi Sir". Her determination brings a smile on Rajveer's face. "Alright Cadet, I'll take your leave now" saying this Captain Rajveer leaves, without giving her chance to reply.
Naina blushes on remembering the incident, so does Rajveer. Rajveer's voice drags her to the present!
"But I must say Naina, tum shuru se hi bohot determined aur tough ho that's one of the many reasons that I ...!" Rajveer stares her.

(Rajveer-Naina tune begins in the background)

Clearing his throat he says, "I mean... humesha aise hi rehna", smiles Rajveer. Naina smiles back understanding what he meant and feels shy. Rajveer touches her left cheek and before he could do anything else, Naina hugs him. Smiling at her shyness and her gesture, Rajveer hugs her back tightly.

They were enjoying the hug when they hear a sudden announcement by Brigadier Chandok, "All the faculty members and the cadets are to meet at the main hall, right now!" The sudden announcement during this hour of the day makes everyone worried! Naina and Rajveer runs towards the door, the very moment they hear the announcement. Suddenly Naina realizes and exclaims, "Pooja! Usne agar dekh lia ki main room mein nahi hun to?" Rajveer turns back to look at her, creasing his brows.

****

As Naina joins other cadets, Pooja asks her, "Naina kahan thi tu? Jab main uthi to dekha ki tu room mein nahi hai!" "Ahmm... Pooja mujhey neend nahi aa rahi thi to socha thoda bahar ghoom lun" says a nervous Naina. "Bahar ghoom lun? Tujhey Lolita Ma'am se darr nahi lagta?" as she asks this, Naina looks towards Rajveer nervously.Soon the whole of the KMA gather in the main hall, Brigadier Chandok announces"mujhey ye batate hue bohot dukh ho raha hai ki kisi ne KMA se 'nuclear triggers' chura liye hain!" Captain Rajveer stares at Brigadier Chandok in shock!

On listening to the news, all the cadets start whispering among themselves about what are nuclear triggers doing in KMA and who could steal them? Brigadier Chandok stares back at Captain Rajveer, his worry clearly visible on his face. Captain Rajveer, standing at his places at ease, turns to look for Chaubey and finds that he is no where to be seen.

His absence makes Captain Rajveer even more tensed. He interrupts Brigadier Chandok's speech and whispers into his ear, "Excuse me Sir, since unn 'nuclear triggers' ki zimmedari mujh par hai so I think I will have to leave now, mera ye janna zaruri hai ki culprit kahan hai!" saying this Captain Rajveer looks at Brigadier Chandok to get his permission so that he can leave.Brigadier Chandok nods his head and gives him permission to leave. As he was about to leave Brigadier Chandok asks, "Captain kya tumhe kisi par shaq hai?" "Shaq nahi Sir, mujhey yakeen hai!" says Captain Rajveer to Brigadier Chandok."Yakeen? Kon hai wo Captain?" asks Brigadier Chandok, getting furious. "Kon hai wo jiski itni himmat hui ki wo KMA se nuclear trigger chura le gaya?" "Sir, main abhi apko kuch nahi bata sakta at least tab tak nahi jab tak mere haath koi sabut na aa jaye, ek important sabut!" informs Captain Rajveer to Brigadier Chandok."Tum kis sabut ki baat kar rahe ho Captain?" asks Brigadier Chandok. Looking straight into Brigadier Chandok's eyes, Captain Rajveer assures him, "aap chinta mat kariye Sir, apko jald sub kuch pata chal jayega. Mujh par bharosa rakhiye" "Mujhey tum par pura bharosa hai Captain!" says Brigadier Chandok, seriously. Nodding his head, Captain Rajveer leaves.

Reaching the exit, he turns to look towards Naina, and finds her already staring him, with expectation in her eyes that he'll stare back.

(Rajveer-Naina slow tune begins)

'Main wada karta hun Naina tumhe tumhare har sawaal ka jawab milega! Tumhari life ki har pareshani durr hogi! Bus kuch pal aur intezaar kar lo!' Shaking his head, all serious, indicating her not to worry about anything, Rajveer winks at her. His gesture succeeds in bringing a little smile on her face. He tilts his head a little to the right, then back to the center, as a gesture of asking permission from his wife, 'main jaun?' Naina nods a little to a 'yes''!Although worried, but she knows she will never become his cause of worry but his strength. So, clearing her mind, with a new determination, she nods her head again to a 'yes' with more confidence than before. Seeing the new determination in her, he whispers to himself, "meri Naina A Singh Shekhawat!", smiling one last time, he leaves. As Naina sees him leaving, she prays silently for his well-being.

"Rajveer please aap apna khayal rakhna. Mujhey aisa kyun lag raha hai ki aaj kuch aisa hone wala hai, jisko kisi ne expect na kia ho!" Naina mummers, worriedly. Pooja and her other friends reach Naina.Seeing Naina worried, Alekh puts his hand on Naina's back head and says, "Naina, tu tension mat le, Rajveer Sir ko kuch nahi hoga". Naina looks towards Alekh worriedly. Unable to bear her emotions any longer she hugs him and thinks 'Alekh maine dil se tujhey apna bhai mana hai. Bhai hone ke naatey tujhey pura haq hai meri life ke barey mein sub kuch janne ka. Par main majbur hun, main abhi tujhey kuch nahi bata sakti. Please mujhey maaf kar de!'Standing behind Alekh, Huda says, all serious, "Oye Phoolan tu janti hai na apne Captain Rajveer kitne hoshiyar hain, wo kuch bhi ho jaye uss traitor ko pakad ke hi rahenge dekhio aur unhe kuch nahi hoga. Par Phoolan sochne wali baat ye hai ki akhir ye nuclear triggers chori kiye kisne aur kyun?" "Oye Huda kisne chori ki wo to humein pata chal hi jayega par kyun ki, pata nahi ye pata kab chalega?" says Pooja. "Kyun?" "Arey ye chor log hotey badey chalu hain. Mere Punjab ke gaon mein aye din chori hoti rehti hai. Jab chor pakdey jate hain to unse such nikalwana bhai ek bohot bada kaam hota hai. Ab jab gaon ke logo se such nikalwana itna mushkil hota hai, to sochle ye to shehar ke log hain! Koi Psychiatrist hi ye kaam kar sakta hai by god!"saying this Pooja shakes her head. All the other smile at her gesture but Naina. The word 'Psychiatrist' grabs her attention. She looks around and realizes that all others are present except Captain Rajveer and...Dr.Mishra!

Getting away from him, Naina shares her concern with Alekh, "Alekh mujhey bohot chinta ho rhi hai Sir ki. Mujhey samajh nahi aa raha ki main kya karun!""Naina boley to jab apun jail mein tha aur jab kisi qaidi se ladai hoti thi apun ki tab akele mein apun ko Ma ki bohot yaad aati thi. Ma ke paas apun ki sari pareshani ko durr karne ka koi na koi tareeka hota tha. Apun ke paas to Ma thi nahi ki apun ussey kuch puch pata, par tere paas to hai na! Unse baat kar, dekhio teri sari pareshani, chintayein teri Ma durr kar dengi" smiles Alekh. "Nahi Alekh wo waise hi mujhey lekar chinta karti rehti hain, agar maine kuch kaha to wo khamakha aur chinta karengi" says Naina, not ready to call her mother. "Tu apne iss bhai par bharosa karke to dekh. Chal!" saying this, Alekh holds her hand and pulls her to the common phone of KMA, although Naina refuses but he doesn't listen to her.

Reaching the phone, Alekh picks up the receiver and dials the number to Naina's home. "Hello" says Naina's mother. "Hello apun Alekh bol rela hai"replies Alekh. "Alekh? Oh kahin tum wo Alekh to nahi , Naina ke dost Alekh Sharma?" asks Naina's mother."Ji! Boley to apse kuch baat karni thi!" "Mujhse? Naina theek to hai na? Ussey kuch hua to nahi?" she asks worriedly. "Usne mana kia tha, isliye main call nahi karti, kyunki agar maine call kia aur kisi ko...", her mother realizes that she shouldn't have said that, she tries to over lap, "mera matlab kisi ko pareshani na ho mere baar-baar phone karne se, isliye main zada phone nahi karti. Khair beta Naina kaisi hai?""Aap chinta mat kariye, Naina bilkul theek hai. Par iss waqt thodi pareshan hai to apun ne socha ki agar wo apni Ma se baat kar legi to... Apun ki Ma bolti thi, 'tere ko koi bhi takleef ho to mere paas ayiyo. Aap bhi ek Ma hain, apun ko laga aaj Naina ko apni Ma ki zarurat hai" "Theek kia beta do ussey phone, main ussey baat karti hun!" Alekh hands over the receiver to Naina.
