He is all packed ready to leave
He can't miss this morning train....

"I would have made breakfast for you
But mujhe cooking nahi ati
So this bread and butter... Bas yahi tha ghar pe"
He said with a grinn...

As she got up and took the tray ..

"Bread butter will do...."
She said with a smile....

Ud sat at the edge of the bed...
And took her hand...

"U will not regret this
I promise"

"I don't want your promises ud...
Been there done that....
It's no good...
Just walk along with me.... As far as you can...."
She said ruffling his hairs...

And he kissed her one last time before getting up.

"And yes
Bahar huda se kehna ke use utna awkward hone ki zarurat nahi hai...
I hope you heard that lt. Huda...."

She shouted and huda got flushed sitting outside...

And ud chukled hard....

Rajveer was not at all interested in hai work today
His mind preoccupied with her thoughts....

He picked up his phone and decided to text her first

She asked

"Free ke khane ko mana nahi karte...

He replied and she smiled ear to ear.

Rest of the update is written by mona...
On my request

'i have no idea that you were also in delhi.' rajveer spoke when he felt that shalini was not going to say a word. he had just dropped naina after an evening walk together that he saw shalini. surprised he made his way to her. she is all taken aback when she sees him. but rajveer doesn't miss her glow. dr shalini is radiating for first time. it just amuses him if his doubt is true. rajveer offers her coffee which she accepts gladly and son they are walking with their coffee in hands. and its then rajveer opens his mouth to start a conversation.

'hmm. i had to come. you tell captain how are things with naina?'

he is not at all surprised. he smiles remembering their small steps together. that day when they both met after such a long period. and then it has been more or less same schedule. meeting and talking. 

'things are good. i am good. after such a long time it is good for the first time. and you wont believe how i got this courage to stand up and ask her for a meeting!'

'really? now i will be offended that that person was not me. i had to have credit for your love life.'

rajveer laughs.

'no doctor. you still will be having credit. indirectly or directly i'll be grateful to you.' and suddenly he is bit hesitant to tell her that the person who knocked this sense in him was her one sided lover. he decides to change the topic.

'so, how are you in delhi? anything special? or some other issue?'

shalini looks into his eyes and then stares at the sky. stopping the walk midway. rajveer too stops. suddenly getting tensed.

'yes. special. and no. no issue.'

he keeps quiet and let her continue.

'you know rajveer sometimes i wonder how i can get this much lucky to have someone who understands me so well. and even after all those petty immature treatment i gave to this person he still had this determination that he waited for me. he had this much faith in his feelings for me that he didn't give up. i wonder if i were in his place what i would have done! would i have waited for him? what just made him do all this for me! i am just an ordinary person..'

'no. you are not. you are amazing and extraordinary.'

hearing him shalini gives a chuckle..

'cut the crap rajveer. if i were this amazing i'dn't have been............' she throws her coffee in nearby bin and sits on the bench. rajveer is surprised and doesnt join her on the bench.

after a long pause shalini speaks...

'vikrant never waited for me. he never tried. if i was not at home he never tried to check upon me. he never tried to give me comfort. i was still amazing back then, werent i! then what happened?

when we signed the divorce papers his hands didnt even shake for a second. he was so confident about it. even though i have no feelings or remorse after my divorce but i still feel somewhere horrible. i spent some years with him. i gave him whatever i could and he....he just stood up, signed the documents and left. how could he? he at least owed me an apology! he damn did!!!'

her talks hit him. suddenly he is so ashamed of himself. he never ever tried to talk shalini about her personal life. what she was doing, what she was facing...nothing. he had this idea back then that she was going through divorce..her marriage life is not going to work at all. but he tried to respect that so called boundary shalini had put up. he didn't even realized that shalini had no friend except him. and if he like others didn't try to break in and give her comfort, nobody was there to do the honor. but guess what he didnt do the honor. he had his problems to look after. so he basically forgot he had a friend too....

bravo rajveer! this is what you are called gentleman for! 

he with heavy heart sits next to her and hugs her. 

'i am so sorry. shalini. i....i am a jerk. i should have tried to talk you about it. but i was way too occupied with myself. i am so sorry.' his eyes get teary while shalini is hiccupping in no time.

they dont part. he pats her head with affection. 

'i sometimes wish I had this confidence like yudi to stand up and tell him that i am not so confident as he has pictured me. i am a coward.'

'not more than I. i wasted years after years.'

'hmm. i knew this before you. you are a chicken.' this makes both laugh. shalini separates herself and wipes her eyes. 

'yudi has left for some confidential mission. i met him before he could leave. when he came three days back to KMA announcing he would be leaving for some place unknown i grew scared for first time...of losing him. i saw him leaving. i saw him going away. i just couldnt.....'

'i know. i kept on trying to move on when actually i was just sitting in my comfort zone and picturing my future instead of trying. but then that posting with yudi...i just came to realise i have to buckle up....atleast for this one time i have to stand up. 

btw who would have believed yudi were going to be like this!'

'you mean confident and brave and a true soldier!'

'wow. just a night together and you are all praise for your man! wow. i must say lt yudi knows his way around you.'

'shut up rajveer.' shalini blushes crimson red for a first time.

'so how was it? was he any good?'

'rajveer. i will kill you.'

'you have to tell me. we talked about it. if he was not any good i'll be ashamed as his teacher.' he asks shalini with a serious face.

'i hate you. i am not going to tell you about my sex life.'

'Rajver - but you wanted to know about mine!'

'that's something else.'

'no its not. it is equality. you have to tell me.'

Shalini - 'okkk. he was okk.' 

Rajveer - 'liar!' 

'he was damn good! happy? now i have to leave as i have some calls to make before i leave for KMA. and for your kind information i was his teacher too. he will be needing my help so will you. dont worry....' and she leaves with a hug and blink. rajveer is standing there happy for shalini and for himself too...but just a doubt...why he will be needing shalini' help.
