It's been six months

Since they have frequently started seeing eachother.
He is still teaching in KMA
And she is in Chandigarh

But somehow he manage to find buisness in Chandigarh
Or if he is visiting Delhi... She manage to pull something and plan a one day trip for Delhi.

They have started filling eachother with the details early so that the other person can plan his or her visit.

Nothing is said aloud ever but. ......

"Sun tu Delhi jayegi na to sir ko ye dedena"

Alekh handed her an envelope

"Main Delhi Jaa Rahi hun
Sir kma mein hai"

"Han par tu Delhi mein hogi to sir koi na koi kam to nikal hi lenge na Delhi ka
Wo kahani nahi suni tu
Raja ki jaan tote mein
Aur sir ka tere mein"

Naina didn't know how to answer that.

So instead

"Kya hai is envelope mein"
She asked

"Paise ...
Sir se borrow Kiya tha kuch mahine pehlee... Phone kharab ho gaya tha na.. to Naya liya tha
Wapas karnaa hai""

She saw the envelope and then she saw him

"Mujhe kyun nai bola"
She asked getting offended

"Bolne wala tha par sir sath the aur wo Mane nahi...."

She got proud hearing this.
But what escaped her mouth was.

"Why he didn't told me "

And alekh gave a sly. Smile ...

____________

The purpose of her visit too Delhi was to apply for the entrance test for intelligence
Which she is taking on his persistence.

"You really think I can clear this"
She asked as they came out of the office after filling the application.
And headed toward their car.

"Yes
I totally believe it
You have everything, there should be in an intelligence officer....

They were now standing across the car in front of the doors about to sit in.

You can sneak into people's bedroom and  hide behind the curtains "

He bite his lips , trying  hard not to laugh
While she gave him a deadly look.

"Can you please just let it go"
She yelled at him and he laughed out loudly.

"Don't talk to me"
She got furious and turned her face....

"Naveen was one too
It's in your blood."

He said all serious this time....
And signal her to get inside the car.

"10 th. Ke exam ki feeling aa rahi hai "
She said as they hit the road

"See....
Koshish karna humare hath mein hai
Agar clear naii bhi hua , to its fine...
Atleast we tried, that's important "

_____________

"I have discovered this amazing place for pani puri....
Wana try"?
He asked

"Do you even have to ask
Don't you know me...."

She said dramatically

This is the thing he discovered about her in past few weeks
She is funny and can be dramatic sometimes.

She accurately fit in movie dialogues in conversation
She is a great mimicry artist and can do almost anyone....
Her best performance was of major bhargav....

He had no idea she was this entertaining

While she use to feel her heart filling up with happiness when he laugh on her acts.

He watch her with 100 percent attention
When he is with her , he is just with her
He puts his phone on silent and not once they look at it .

As they stood by the stall to eat panipuri
He instructed the vendor

"Mujhe meetha Mila ke Dena and apke pass jitna mirchi hai sab iski plate mein dal do."

She tried to pick a fight with him

"Main itna bhi teekha nahi khati hun ok"

"Naina tum pathologically teekha khati ho
When last time I had tried food from your plate
Meri aatma nikal ke side mein khad ho. Gayi thi..."

She laughed and groped his arm to stop making fun of him.

As they walked down the street of Delhi, she was sad that this day will get over and then God knows. When they will meet again...

She just can't  get enough of him....
How badly she feels sometimes to hug him and make him hold her....

To get close to him
He has never been in proximity with a man before

His fragrance makes her crazy.....
And the best part is when she sometimes catch him glancing on her when he thinks that she is. Not looking....

She never attempt to catch him
Just feel his gaze on her and feel giddy.

He was looking for a t shirt for himself in purani Delhi market when she got a kurti for her self ....
And as she went to pay for the purchase after browsing  some more the shopkeeper told her that its been paid already with that bhaiya who is with you....

And she saw him in the opposite stall looking for bedsheets

She got Frozen with the thought that what if someday he goes away from her life...
He has become a habit
The insight.... That this man standing in front of her means the World to her

"I love you Rajveer sir "
She said in her heart and more than that she wanted to say this to him....

But cat caught her tongue

She saw him turning towards the crowd as his eyes searched for her and got settled on her

He asked her to come to him to help him select ....

"I need new sheets
Black or blue"

She was lost in her own thoughts
With the newly found insight on her feelings for him
She has for the first time properly acknowledged them and named them

"Black "
She said without thinking much about the sheet....

"Mujhe pata tha tum black hi kahogi."
And he made it final.

He paid the shopkeeper and turned to her
Only to find her lost in her own thoughts.

"Are you ok...."
He asked

"Kuch problem hai"

"Nai bas yahi soch rahi thi ke hum next kab milenge....
Kma mein midterms start ho jaayenge and you will get busy...."

"Well there are always weekends and I will manage something don't worry....
Now lets get out of here , bohot bheed ho rahi hai"

Saying this he hold her wrist and started walking making sure she walks close...
It was a crowded area and he put his one arm around her not touching her shoulder but caging her so that no one collide with her .

She had never felt safer

While she was overwhelmed....

And as they reached the parking and he was busy putting away packets...
She felt a lump in her throat
And her eyes were filled with tears.

She had no idea why the hell she was crying....
But it just started involuntarily
And she didn't wanted him to see it.

She quickly wiped her tears away and took few deep breaths....

"Naina agrasen ki baoli chalogi"

He asked as he closed the dikki.

"Han chaliye "

She tried to have a normal conversation.
And they sat in the car...

"Why did you paid for that kurti...."

"It was just few bucks Naina
Aare we really having this conversation"

He saw her with intense gaze and she felt shiver down her spine.

He had turned world upside down for her yet he never said anything to her .
She knew she has to put a break on her thoughts and be with him right now

Once they get apart tomorrow then she will have all the time to think of him.

__________

They reached the connaught place and went inside the baoli...
A step well , a heritage site.

They sat in one of the step and  took a look at the well

"I am intrigued by such places
Was planning to come here from a long time"
He was excited, and peppy

And she admired him without being too obvious.

"I have heard this is haunted"
She replied to spice up the conversation.

"Well
If you see something than let me know"
He winked at her making her smile...

He was playing with his fingers

The place was quite with few visitors here and there as it was almost dark.

She was breathing same air with him.
The feeling of content she felt was new

"Mere Naveen aur Abhi ke sath humare group mein ek aur person tha...

Nandini

Have I told about her "?

She saw him and nodded a no..

He took a few sec and continue

"We were a tight group....
And by second year I started dating her.
But a year after our graduation
She decided that army life doesn't suits her
And we kind of got apart."

Naina was listening everything with full concentration.

"She chose an NRI to settle down and she left for USA..."

She kept looking at him
Wondering why he is suddenly telling her all this.

"Phir usse dobara kabhi mile ap"

She turned a bit towards him
Their limbs almost you touching
He acknowledged this new found proximity they have .

"Not all these years
Until last week....

I got a call from her .....
She said that she is back , permanently
And would like to meet."

She didn't know what to say
How to feel about all this.

"Where is she "?

"Here in Delhi itself"
He informed 

"So are you gonna meet him...."

"Naina....
He said in a low tone

Agar mujhe usse milna hota to i would have been sitting with her right now
Not you".

She gave a subtle smile and he went back to look down at the well.

She felt light
When she suddenly turned back....to watch something

"Kya hua "
He too turned to look what she is looking

"I think I heard something"

And he gave her a mischievous grin.....

He leaned forward to say it in her ears
And she can sniff his shampoo as he said

"What are you doing
Agar aisi jagah pe awaaz aye to palat ke nahi dekhte...."

She turned her head to look straight at him with poker face.

"What do you think I am
12"??

He gave her a boyish grin and she can't help but notice how close they are sitting

That first two open button
Showing off his chest ...

"Chalen"?
He asked with same dramatic  expression
And she nodded in agreement...

He got up and asked for her hand so that he can escort her through stairs...
And even when they were walking on the road no one let go off their hands untill they were by the car.
