This one is for you

I donno how you felt after investing your precious time on my previous updates.

I hope I didn't disappointed you beyond Jabrela 🙈

☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘

A beautiful song was playing in the background, knocking the door of love home....

You're the light, you're the night
You're the colour of my blood....
You're the cure, you're the pain
You're the only thing I wanna touch.
Never knew that it could mean so much, so much....

See tossed in bed, gawking at the empty side, spreading her palm on that crumbled part... that's his side, which she everytime intruded making him shift to different side. There was few nights when he fell on floor, getting unbalanced due to this turning clock with two hands and two legs... lately she too found out that, her blanket was often hijacked by him. He is a hardcore warm blanket lover. He had a weird habbit of clinging to it rather wrapping it around him. Yet they maintained sanity of not enlightening each other with the relationship they binded with or the last name they share or the things they should be doing on bed as couples.

He was sweet, less of complaints and more of heartly gestures.... that made her spellbind with him, itching her heart to know more about him.

You're the fear, I don't care
'Cause I've never been so high
Follow me through the dark
Let me take you past our satellites
You can see the world you brought to life, to life

Her eyes swing at the bewitching figure just stepped out from the bathroom, covered in a decent dress. The white t shirt stood adherent to his damp torso, exhibiting modest brawny abs. She thoroughly counted them, lingering her eyes longer than necessary. She felt fireball tossing down in her pelvic area, with his mere sight. A hidden teenage girl in her peeked in giving her all those ideas she saw in those romantic English movies.

His wet hairs drizzled few droplets on her hand, cooling the atmosphere . The fragrance of his bodywash filled in air, reclining her in that warm blanket. Her eyeballs followed him like a shadow right from drying his hair to fixing a watch on his wrist... These acts seemed to be fascinating to her and she kept doing so without thinking about the cause or consequences. It was exciting, somewhat intimidating and peaceful. She concluded.

So love me like you do, la-la-love me like you do
Love me like you do, la-la-love me like you do
Touch me like you do, ta-ta-touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?....

She slightly popped her elbow up, to see more of him, as he stood blocking his dazzling view from her. He took an oval shaped glass bottle... by using dropper he sprinkled scant drops behind his ears, back palm and few restricted parts of neck.... his Adam's apple startled pausing Naina's heart....

Suddenly the show came to halt, as if someone pulled the harsh break and she came out of the haze. Actually he changed the song, as the lyrics were building a floor of nervousness in him.

Thrusting his phone in inner pocket pf his blazer, he was all set to leave....

Naina - " bahar bahot thand he... "
She mumbled

Rajveer almost fell from his place knowing that she is awake. What he is gonna explain her that where he is going in the middle night?
He fixed his eyes on her to know more. Did she watch him from beginning, coherent with all his stupid things ?

Naina bit her lower lip, blown away by his looks. He looks astonishing in everything he wears. She gets to know a new factor about him everytime she sets her eyes on him desirously. How could not she realise this before? She yearns to slap her eyes and mind for missing this naked truth..

Rajveer - " am sorry Naina. Mujhe lights on nahi karna chahiye tha..."
He curses himself instantly switching off the dim light of the dressing table .

Naina got up from their bed and throw light in their room,
" aapke collection mein bahot saare sorries he kya? Itne zyada kharch karte rehte he use..."
She beamed nearing him.... and noticed how his eyes twinkled....

" You look better.... but....
you need something else too to charm that witch..."

Rajveer wondered at her words, That means she knows about Ritu! Holy hell!

Naina - " I'm not dumb Rajveer. I can see you going through things... "
She walked towards her bag and dig out something...

Rajveer - " things??..."
He asked smelling some secrets.... damn, she knew about something else.

Naina - " Like the training... those mysterious calls,
stinking - sticky Mishra and something else hidden...."
She smirked taking him by surprise... and pointed to close his slight opened mouth....

Rajveer - " What?..."

Naina - " You are into something, Right? Aapne bhaiyya se kuch chupaya hua he. I can clearly see it..."
She slided the blazzer from his shoulders a bit and wrapped a stole around his neck....
Her victorious grin told him he was watched all this time.

FUCK. What is she doing here? Intelligence needs her.

Rajveer - " tum kuch zyada hi samajhne lagi ho mujhe..."
He bent his hips to let her do whatever she wishes with him... not at all caring about his looks.

Naina - " That's Naina Ahhh Singh...."
She tried to wink at him, but her voice got caught as his perfume traveled through the narrow bridge of her nostrils....and that Ahh sound sputtered unexpectedly tickling him...

Rajveer - " oh! NAINA AHH SINGH... interesting name."
He flexed his neck in his usual style, teasing her...

She playfully hit his arm, asking him to stay still... she changed his clothing a bit and straightened his hair, turning him little young. She loved the way his hairs listened to her fingers along with its owner... she had a hard time and her breath decifered to shallow, as his auroma was getting in her way.

And his state was not so different from her. His eyes were long gone in hunt of her thoughts, endeavoring how her all musings mustered centering him. She had been devoting all her time revolving around him. She is trying to know him but somewhere Her new demeanor appeared to be fishy. He sould keep his eyes on her too. This brat is surely upto something.

The distance between them was decreasing minute by minute or to say day by day....

Someone knocked the door, parting them...

Rajveer vanished leaving Naina in behind. She zipped her bag keeping it in place, and changed the song. She chukled registering that Capt Shekhavat has peculiar habbit of listening to song even when he is asleep. He loved to listen soft lyrical ones. She liked this. She liked almost all of the things in his tiny world, even the mysteries he hid from her. That's what attracting her to him.

He is the man every girl dreamt of. She too weaved thousands of fantasies about her future husband. He had all of them. Though she didn't explored him completely she could say by now, she had seen all his shades except one. care love and respect are the pillars that makes any relationship strong . He had abundant of 1st and 3rd thing. But love, thats what scarce in between them.
Neither she love him nor he. Till now...
She finished another para of thoughts when,

" Naina ... "
He called her from behind, frightening her....

She turned in haste bumping with his hands and a pool of white petals showered them....
Her eyes lifted up in glee, glancing such beautiful things happening around her, just like the movies.

She was utterly romantic, before meeting the deadly accident of her life and that expired romancing aspect got pulled out of its grave, with new wings, with new dimension.

Rajveer - " yeh tumhare liye..."
He passed a bouquet of white roses to her

Naina happily accepted them without questioning him and he got upset seeing this. He had prepared a speech to deliver expecting a question from her.

Naina - " aapko der nahi horaha?..."
She asked hugging the flowers. She was too contented to spare a look at him.

Rajveer rooted there staring at her glittering face. He cupped her face lifting it up in a daze uttered,
" Thank You for giving me a chance Naina. Thank you for staying here with me. Thank you Naina, Mera ateet ko qabool karne ke liye, mujhe samajhne ki koshish karne ke liye. Thank you for everything....."

Naina felt her legs turning jelly and she was about to faint at the intensity of his voice. Her cheeks heated up warming up his palm.

He continued, caressing her skin with his thumb,
" Tum Meri takat ho Naina. Aur tumhari yeh muskurahatein mere dard bhari rooh ko raahat deti he...aur poori duniya se ladne ki taqat deti he... "
His eyes poured all other emotions he was unable to put into words

Their eyes kept on soothing each others pain, not making any move. He felt a magical pull towards her and he shifted his left palm towards her neck...
His lips tasted her chubby red cheeks, breathing in her body scent....

he just re performed her act and this time too it left a deep result in Naina's heart.

He pulled himself back in three seconds, and brushed back her hairs....her hand subconsciously went in direction where his rough lips stayed and covered them for the feel.

Rajveer - " Kuch chahiye toh call kardena. Kahin Bahar math jaana...I will be back soon..."
He informed her, and messaged Chaubey alerting him about Naina.

He held the doornob to turn it something flashed in his mind...
" Naina...Yeh "
He asked about the stole she made him wear..

Naina - " main aapke liye laayi thi. Ladakh se "
She uttered again feeling butterflies in her heart...

Rajveer grinned receiving something beautiful all for himself,
" i love this. "
He threw a warm smile at her making sure she sleeps well with it ....

💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫

Naveen - " Veeru, mere liye ek coffee laana..."
He ordered loudly gaining attension of few Cadets...

Shalu pinched his arms,
" khud leke aavo. Dikh nahi raha uske haath bhare huye he..."

Naveen looked at Shalu with puppy eyes and got up to serve himself.... joh biwi se kare pyaar, woh uske orders ko kaise kare inkaar....

Naina - " Bhaiyya aap baitiyein... main leke aati hu.."
She happily planned to go halves with Rajveer's burden, to walk with him and may be share some precious smiles....

Naveen - " Ek minute.... Gudiyaa... ruk...
Let me note this date.. and time..."
He exclaimed taking out his phone...typing something....

Naina - " Kyun Bhaiyya???..."

Naveen - " Aur nahi toh kyaa... aaj kitna shubh din he. Bachpan se aaj tak mere liye ek paani ke glass tak nahi laayii...aaj dekhoo, mere liye coffee laane tum khud apne pair se chalke jaarahi, ise toh likh ke rakhna padega...Nahii Gudiya...."
He laughed hilariously earning deathly glare from his sisso.. she was about to hit his head with his phone his savior came forward.....

Rajveer who heard this entire convoo shouted,
" Naveen, tumhe Infirmary ke diwar dekhne he kyaa?" He warned shaking his head....

Naina - " Bhaiyya, aapko toh main baadmein dekhlungi... aur Rajveer, aap mere side mein he ki Bhaiyya ke??..."
She glared at him with large eyes...reminding him about their initial encounters after marriage....

Rajveer - " of course tumhare..."
He immediately voiced out his feelings not want to be beaten infront of the whole KMA ...

Shalini again pinched Naveen's arm,
" kitne bak bak karte ho. Mujhe sir dard horaha... "

Naveen dramatically kept his elbow on the table, and started singing,
" Dost dost na raha... pyaar pyaar na raha...."

Ritu adjusting her chair, kept her hand on Naveen's backpalm,
" Capt. Ahluwaliya, aapke baarein mein suna toh bahot kuch tha, lekin aaj dekh liya ki aapko KMA ke Drama Queen kyun kehte he..."

Seeing the extra gestures showered on her hubby, Shalu's Bp started raising . She raised her milk glass as weapon and again Rajveer interrupted...

" Dr. Mishra, lagta he aapne mere baarein mein kuch nahi suna. You never said something sweet to me. "
He scrunched his nose turning away from the drama.

Ritu - " Aww Captain. Don't be a spoil sport. Waise bhi we had something more than sugary talks... don't you remember about the dessert we had?..."
She hovered Rajveer from side showing off her right on him... her hands took a effort of lazily exploring his hips....

Momentarily Rajveer's heart looked backwards utterly shocked with her moves.

Naina saw every flirtatious moves of Ritu, and opened her mouth slowly,
" desert?...."

Her words dissolved in Rajveer's ear and he got alerted with the fact that her betterhalf is present in the same room... earlier days he somehow balanced both the women with his strategies but now he felt helpless....

Ritu - " Naina Right?..."
She asked confirming the name.

Naina nodded her head waiting for Rajveer to answer her. She trusts him.

Ritu - " woh joh naya restaurant khula he City mein.kal raat Main aur Capt. Rajveer gaye the. We had red velvet cake. It was delicious....
And the ambience is totally romantic. You must go there with someone. Dont you get bored here?..."

She forwarded her opinion secretly knowing how she mattered to hot Captains. Her sources are alive too. She planned to sideline Naina so that she can draw attension of both of them to carry on her mission. She invested her priceless three years in this damn work. Now, she won't let anyone to destroy her hardwork. By hook or by crook she gonna hit bulleye...

Ritu's reverie was graciously broken by Naina.
" Of course not Dr. Mishra. I've a very good company here and he never let me bored...."
She turned her eyes to see the handsome captain.

Ritu - " I must say Capt. Ahluwaliya is best in every role. "
But She pointed at Naveen marking Naina's words.

Before Naina could take Rajveer's name, Naveen messaged Huda asking him to call Naina... Fight between women could lead to a great disaster. They couldn't let Ritu slip their hands this time. Exactly the same way he didn't desired to suffer to enjoy the wrath of his baby girl.

Naina's phone ringed taking her away from danger.
" Rajveer I'm taking your lappy. Mujhe kuch kaam he na...."
She said still holding the phone....

Ritu - " wait Naina..."
She called from behind, with a polite smile,

" May be you donno the password...."
She gleefully exposed her knowledge about Captain's things. She knew almost of his all secrets... including his broken heart.

Naina - " Of course I know Dr. Mishra. Maine hi password set kiya tha. Warna Rajveer, Naveen bhaiyya ka hi naam rakhdete...as password...."
She joked in end deliberately, not spoiling Rajveer's mission and also showing Ritu her place...

How dare she come between her possessions? Next time she repeats the same, she gonna face the devil. She mentally made a note, of playing with Mishra.

After Naina's departure,
Naveen sipped his coffee studying Ritu's expression purely meant for Rajveer. He noted down few things in mind, to discuss later, with his Veeru. She was jumping across the fences they set. That's a good sign.

He took Shalini's hand and kissed it, muttering few beautiful words in her ear indirectly suggesting Rajveer to make a move.

Rajveer - " Dr. Mishra, Kahin long drive pe chalein? ...."
He waited for Ritu's answer..... tapping his foot.

Ritu - " Long drive?..."
She got excited with his plan. May be she could execute third step of her mission there.

Rajveer - " apne aaj aur beete huye kal se door... jaha sirf main aur aap hongi.."
He too took her hand intended to kiss it...

Ritu - " sure Captain. Give me a minute?... "
She stood up to correct her dress and makeup....

Naveen seemed to be more happy than Rajveer and Shalini thought of taking a class later....

A appealing voice disturbed their perfect plans.....

आज मौसम बड़ा बेईमान है
बड़ा बेईमान है, आज मौसम.....

Naveen - " Jabrelaaa...."
He cursed under his breath....

Rajveer and Ritu happy faces took a complete u turn, seeing Abhimanyu there....

He stepped forward, and sang the next line,

आने वाला कोई तूफ़ान है
कोई तूफ़ान है, आज मौसम.....

He winked at Rajveer and then at Naveen....

क्या हुआ है, हुआ कुछ नहीं है
बात क्या है पता कुछ नहीं है

He kept his elbow on Naveen's shoulder grinning at their horrified faces. The real game is on now....

मुझसे कोई ख़ता हो गई तो
इस में मेरी ख़ता कुछ नहीं है.....

Before anyone could do something, he reached up to Ritu's side and twirreled her....

ख़ूबसूरत है तू रुत जवान है
आज मौसम बड़ा बेईमान है

He stopped singing and looked at Ritu who was in his arms now...

Abhimanyu - " Sweetheart, Am Back...."
He kissed her cheeks startling her.... his hands were already in their place, wrapped around her waist.

Ritu - " Abhi??..."
She asked gaining her sense. He can't be here. He can't destroy her hard earned mission success....

Abhimanyu - " I missed you. "
He leaned to kiss her lips... observing Raj's expression through peripheral vision....
That's a check mate

Ritu tried to stand without his support,
" But you and Baramer...."

Abhimanyu- " His highness is alright now. So I'm back to you.."
He forcibly took a kiss from her....

Shalini who was quiet until opened her mouth as the two Captains took no effort in doing so.
" Capt. Chauhan, aap yaha? ..."

Abhimanyu - " common Shalu. Baakiyonka toh nahi jaante hum. But aap toh humari dost he na. Call me Abhi.
Aur shayad aapko aapke patidev ne bataya nahi diya hoga, hum yaha phehle se hi he, as a music teacher. Bus His Highness ki tabiyat khabar thi toh I was out. Ab aake dekha toh KMA kitna hara bhara hua be. "
He smirked at Naveer

Naveen straight away jumped beside Jabrela and hugged him, whispering,
" WE NEED TO TALK..."
Then in a high voice,

" Bahot din huye tumse mile. Toh chale?..."

He kept his words short...

Abhi - " I would love to. But Iam sorry Naveen. Hume kuch zaroori kaam he. "

He turned towards Ritu and,
" let's go Baby...."
Without caring for her answer he dragged her.....

Naveen called someone to know the matter where as Rajveer's head was bowed with sudden tsunami that drowned them....

Shalini - " UFF... atleast Ritu ka panga toh gaya. Ab yeh drama karna nahi padega. Abhi will handle her. You are free now Raj..."

Rajveer - " i Don't want this freedom shal..."
His voice came from the cave of past....

💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫

Later at night...

Ritu on call shouting at someone...
" What the fuck do you mean by you donno.
Stupid that Banjara is here. "

On the otherside,
" hume joh information mili thi uske anusaar Capt. Rajveer hi is mission ko handle kar rahe he KMA mein..."

Ritu cluched her hair in frustration,
" Saale, phehle Banjara fir Shekhavat kis kisko handle karun main?
Jab Banjara haath laga tha, socha ab hum apne lakshya ke kareeb pahaunch gayein. Lekin uske baap ko usi wakth dil ka daura padhna tha. Aur woh chala gaya...

Badle mein kyaa mila?
Capt. Shekhawat. Uske liye maine saree tak phehna. Behlaya fasaya apne jaal mein. Jab woh fasa yeh Bajaraha kaha se yaha pahaunch gaya?

Ek saath do ka shikaar nahi kiya jaasakta. Sirf ek hi marega, dusra sirf fasega. Yaad rakhna...."

Other side,
" toh aage kyaa karne ka irada he?..."

Ritu - " Dono ke dono Captains mere jaal mein hi he. Bus ek ko hatana he. Taaki dusre ka balii chadasake....

Let me think about that...."

She took some pen and paper, analyzing the situation and discussed few facts and ideas with her men.
Atlast she circled Abhi's pic with a red marker with a grin....

💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫

Rajveer - " What???
Col. Chandra aise kaise order de sakte he??..."
He dashed the door, terrifying Naveen with his voice.

Naveen - " Kyun Veeru... Commanding officer order nahi dega toh kyaa mere tau denge???..."
He tried to cool down Raj.

Rajveer - " Tu samajh nahi raha Naveen. Itne din, poore 25 din maine is mission pe apne jaan lagan aur wakth lagaya...
Aur Chauhan ke aathe hi Col. Chandra baazi kaise palat sakte he???...."

Naveen - " Tu itna gussa kyun kar ho raha? Achcha hi hua na. Ab tujhko us nagin aage bin nahi bajana padega...."
He patted Rajveer's shoulder.

Rajveer not at all listening to him,
" Tera phone de. Main abhi call karta hu unko. Poore mission ko Khel samajh rakha he.. Cadets ko padhana, Muchchad ko jhelna, BC ke taane sunna, mission ko sambhalna, uper se Mishra ko ghoomana khilana line maarna... Raat ko aake in subka complete report unko mail karna... yeh sub karte wakth yeh nahi bola tha unhone, ki Capt. Shekhavat you are just a substitute. Jab Chauhan aayega you will be fired....

Apna dimag poora kharch karke, apne character ko hi badalke itne mehnat ki toh aakhir mein mila kyaa???...."
He vomited all his bottled up stress, taking care of not blurting the real truth to Naveen.

Shoving his hand in hairs, He kicked the metal chair in frustration creating a great noise...

Naveen muttered,
" tenga..." thanking his stars that this secret room is sound proof.

Rajveer - " Exactly... ab??? ...
Tere pass kuch toh idea hoga na, talk to him. Do whateverit takes. Bus mujhe is mission mein rehna he. "

Naveen held his arm,
" ek baat bata tu itna gussa kyun horaha??? Maine Aaj tak tujhe kisiko gaali dete, koste nahi dekha. Aise kitni baar tere saath hua he aur tu chup chap apne boriya bister bandhke mission se bahar gaya he. Veeru,
Is it because Jabrela yaa kuch baat he joh tu mujhko bata nahi raha???...."

He forced Rajveer to look into his eyes and vomit all the hidden things....

Rajveer tried to get out of his hold, brushing off his words....

Naveen - " Veeru... "
He called...

Rajveer - " I'm sorry. Main tumhe... "
He gazed at the wall conveying his thoughts.....

Naveen - " kyaa ?...
FUCK... are you doing something else? "
He narrowed his eyebrows thinking of all possible things.

Rajveer bowed his head
" It's about Anu. "
His hoarse voice burned Naveen's heart all at once like a campfire.

Rajveer - " Mishra is the key. And...."

Naveen - " backoff. "
He warned

Rajveer - " i can't . "

Naveen - " Jab maine suna ki tu yaha KMA aaraha, tabhi main samajh gaya tha ki tere dimag mein chal kyaa raha.
tujhe andaza bhi he ki tu kyaa kar raha he?
Agar Col. Shakti ko bhanak bhi padha ki tu.... you will be out. Tera court marshal bhi ho sakta he..."

Rajveer stood up facing his past,
" bhadh mein gaye Col. Shakti... unhone socha tha woh order dene se phehle ki kisika zindagi tabah hone wali he?
Kyaa unhone mere baarein mein socha tha?
Bete maante he na woh mujhe?
Kyaa kiya unhone mere saath. Ananya koo waha bhejne se...."

His voice got stuck with a hard hit of emotional waves....those haunting memories, presented a guilt factor asking where was he when all these happened, he could have stopped the end if he wanted, if he tried...
He did exactly what a soldier would do in that situation. But the real question was did he really loved Ananya that his fingers didn't refuse when they pulled the trigger, that his hands didn't felt a shiver before pointing the target at her heart... the same heart he loved.

Naveen hugged him with tremoring hands pouring all his strength.... he can't let his Veeru fall again in a ocean of pain.

" bus Veeru... aur nahi. tu us raaste pe fir nahi chalega... main hoon na tere saath. Main sub theekh kardunga...."
He molified the agony that about to surround Rajveer...

Naveen - " dekh main yahii hoon. Kyaa karna he bol. Wahii main karunga. Ateet ko badal nahi sakte hum, leke aaj main tumhare saath hu.

Col. Shakti ko kisi aur din dekhlenge hum.. "

Rajveer with moist eyes lifted his head as if a little kid looking at his mother,
" Aur Chauhan..."
He asked ..

Naveen - "usje tere plan mein tang adayi toh Is baar mere bandook aur uske sir dono aamne saamne honge... main usko dekhlunga... "
He patted Rajveer's head...

Rajveer - " Maine khudke watan ko toh bachaliya Navu lekin Anu ko nahi bachapaaya..."
He uttered word by word crushing Naveen's heart....

Raj broke down again, infront of Naveen.

Naveen - " Is baar bachayenge....
tujhko bhi aur tere dil ko bhi..."
He kept on soothing Rajveer's pain, by making all the promises in the world, again bringing his world down to his Veeru's feet...just like that Wedding night he did...
