Naina was rushing towards rajveer's room... On her way... She got bumped with abhi..
"cadet singh..
Y so much hurry..... Kahan daude jaa rahi he aap..."

"Umm sorry sir.. Wo rajveer sir se milne." . She said rather soundinding in a hurry....

But she didn't miss the look on abhimanyu's face which was half of amusement... And half resentment... She couldn't put her finger on which one of his look was meant for whom....
He had stated that he understood the fact that rajveer had no choice but to shoot naveen and he understands...

... Yet he is having a hard time accepting the fact... Or there was something more that he is hiding beneath...
But whatever it was... Naina wished that to sort out and their friendship to be restored as is previously was.....

"ohh...m sorry to stop u then.
Go on..
Or u will get late... Ur mentor must need u at this moment"

She ignored the remark which sound almost snide... And reached rajveer's cabin...

Rajveer was standing near the window sill leaning onto it as if in some deep thought..
.....
Umm sir... Abhi mene captn. Abhimanyu ko yaha se jaate hue dekh... Sab theek he na..."

Its all okay cadet singh.".. He sighed deeply and replied...

"Sir plss bataiye na... Bhaiyya ko lekar kuch baat he kya..aap itne disturbed kyu he... "
Naina couldn't understand what was bothering him... But his uneasiness disturbed her too....

"Cadet singh agar naveen ya uske case ko lekar koi baat hoti to me aapko pehle breif kar deta.... This doesn't concern u... So pls... Stop asking me anymore questions...."

This statement of his hurt her to the core... She just couldn't understand why he is so cold and indifferent sometimes.... One moment his gaze would warm up her heart and fill it with a sense of belonging... Other moment he would be so closed off and aloof...
Unknowingly her eyes wer filled with tears... Which she wiped before he had turned around.. But the thought that he doesn't consider her close enough to share his thoughts was still tugging in the corner of her heart...

She looked at the packet of diet supplement in her hands.. Which she is supposed to give him before the appraisals... And realized that it needs to be heated...

So she fidgeted near the kitchen counter... To find stuff...on finding everything she switched on the microwave....
She was still deep in thoughts... As rajveer was still disturbed... And hasn't talked to her properly ever since she had come in....

Beeping of the microwave disturbed her thoughts.... She quickly opened it and held the vessel with her bare hands.. Absentmindedly... And sudden contact made her shout in pain....
On hearing rajveer rushed towards her... A worried look in his eyes...

"pagal ho gai ho tum naina... Dekh kar nai karsakti.... Aur kya jaroorat thi ye sab khud karne ki... Jal gaya na hath"

He gently took her hand into his and rushed towards the basin... Held it under water...
Naina bas... Ho gaya.. Bohot dard ho raha he...?? "
The care and sensitivity he was showing now.. While applying the ice cubes on her hand and occasionally blowing it.. Made her eyes moist...
He to was handling her with so much care.. As if she is the most delicate thing and he has managed to hurt her yet again...

Naina looked into his eyes and he looked in hers... "wo... I m sorry... Me kisi baat ko lekar disturbed tha.... Khamakha saara gussa tumpe nikaal diya... M sorry..."
Its alright... Par aapne bataya nahi kya hua...

He sighed yet again... And turned his back towards her.... She summed up a little courage... And placed a hand on his shoulder as if trying to give him reassurance and strength..and he faced her...
...her sensitivity towards him made his heart swell..
They were both lost in each others eyes no words exchanged... He was feeling angry at himself to have lashed at her like that... Yet.. She didn't complain even for a second...

"Naina....

Kyu tum itna bharosa karti ho mujhpe..... "

Naina was startled at his sudden and direct question

Sir aap ese kyu puch rahe he..... She tried to avoid his gaze which was transfixed on her.... As if he is demanding an answer desperately as now he is frustrated by her flamboyance and seeks some clarity

"Itna sabkuch hone ke baad bhi tum mujhpar gussa nahi ho... Kya tum nahi chahti ke mujhe apne kiye ki saza mile.... I don't deserve ur trust or ur kindness naina.... I just don't...."

She heard this and a fresh pool of tears started overflowing from her eyes.... She couldn't believe this was the reason he was so bothered....

She gently came forward and made and cupped his face making him look at her...
She slowly trailed back of her hand on his cheeks to wipe off his tears... And her hand lingered on her face a little longer... And gently trailed down towards his jaw line... He leaned to her touch controlling his uneven breaths...

"aapko saza dena meri Zindagi ki sabse badi saza hogi.... Kis baat ki saza chahte he aap sir... Apne dost ko aazad karne ki... Is bojh ko apnane ki... Meri zid.... Mera gussa bardasht karneki....
Uss din jab aap pe goli chali thi mere hatho... Aur aap ko mene aapni aakhon ke saamne behosh dekha... Do u even realize.... Mujh par kya beeti thi... Aapko chot pahunchake... Jese mene apni hi ummed ko maar diya ho...
"
He couldn't believe the amount of understanding and care she has for him... He couldn't believe that after so many days of holding back his pain finally he has got someone who understands him... Feels his pain and loneliness... His guilt..... And burden....
He wondered if it would be so wrong to want to hold on to her forever...

Next moment he found himself doing the unexpected..... He gently raised her chin to have a look at her downcast eyes.... She looked up at him...while her hand was resting lightly upon his neck and other on his shoulder.... With an unknown anticipation....
It wasn't long before they lost every trace of logic and common sense and gave in completely to their repressed desires.... He started to kiss her gently... While resting one of his hands on her waist gently pulling her close to himself.... She tugged at the collar of his t shirt.... He slowly increased the fervour of his kiss... Making her go weak...... As if trying to convey all the things which he never could have said in words.... His lips gently tugged on her lower lip making them part.. And he entered her mouth as if trying to explore it... Know every nook and cranny of it .......embarking the sweet taste of her lips upon himself...
They had completely forgotten that beyond the four walls of the room there was a world which would never accept their love..which would never understand them... As the moment they were sharing currently... Was so blissful... Almost like a dream......

They left each others lips coming up for air.... Their foreheads joined... And sighed in unison...
He looked at her face which showed no trace of confusion or regret... In fact it was glowing like a full moon... And a weak smile on her face showing satisfaction and happiness she was feeling after her first kiss made him fall for her all over again....
Gently opening her eyes she registered what happened just now was not a dream she used to see every now and then these days...
Her head dizzy... Still savouring the feel of his lips upon hers.... He gently pulled her into an embrace and whispered
"i...love u naina..... I really do...
More than my life.."
She clung to him even tighter... And whispered back.. "i love u too"
They remained like that in each others arms... For as long as they possibly could've been.

The academy bell ringing at the moment jerked them back to reality.... Breaking their reviere.....
She separated from him to leave... And approaching the door knob... Looked back at him... In a way... That rajveer thought he could die of ecstasy right there....
