RAJVEER

His jeep almost collided with KMA gate but thanks to his driving skills, he was safe. He parked his jeep the moment he was inside KMA premises. He almost shouted at the guard who tried to warn him about his careless parking. Enraged Rajveer left for his room.

Inside those four walls everything was same again. He was suffocated as he had been weeks ago. The night when he returned back to his room after getting married to her. He could not hide his aggression that day neither he was going to do so today.

He threw away his coat on sat on couch. His breaths almost ragged with fury and he was huffing due to lack of oxygen.

Damn that woman! She was again back to her business. Again luring men and taking support of their manly shoulders for fulfilling her own desires. she was back to her business. in spite of his open warning she dared do this! she was aware he'd be with nandini but his eyes would be on her,still she dared do this. she danced with a stranger that too  when he was with her....not over her shoulders but behind her back. he was present.

he loosened his shirt and opened his cuffs. then he closed his eyes. pinched bridge of his nose and took deep breaths. all of sudden this seemed so unreal. virtual for him. he was ruining his life for a woamn who had no shame and self-respect left in her!

why she danced with that man? who was that guy? above all how come the silent her became so jovial and fun-loving! wasn't she firm believer of solitude, her own privacy! he had left duplicate key for her because  he had observed her aloofness. her nature, her habbit of not getting along with people easily. he had seen all this hence next day of her appointment he had left her a duplicate key.

but today all his assumptions seemed to be wrong. whatever he knew about this woman, proved to be wrong today! She had been just in her shell for preparing her up. Boosting her confidence up. She was just throwing a bait and he fell in.

A little part of him was still believer of her innocence. She was Naveen' sister. She'd have her reasons. Perhaps Abhimanyu was the real culprit.

But seeing her losing herself in a stranger' arms that part of him died.

He waited impatiently for her to return. A lot was to be talked about today...He had so many questions to ask....and so many things to tell. If this was how she was going to act, he'd not see her in his room daily.

Divorce was going to be scheduled earlier.

He a restless soul forgot about her lack of ride back to home and waited almost half of night. Whole time he was showering domestic objects with his fury.

A broken bass, glass and jug along his half open shirt were things which were visible sign of calamity he wanted to cause in his life too. His hair were messed.

He waited waited and waited.....soon drifted to sleep and didnt get the privilege of seeing her wife returning home.

When he felt someone shaking him, his sleep broke. It was shal!

Shal? Where was she then? Back with her lover man to his den?

DAMN THIS WOMAN!

He almost jumped up but thanks to shal' glares he was in control.

'I know you need a nandini repellant lekin iska matlab ye nahi ki hum do akeli aurate raat me ambala ki sadke chhane? Me tumhara khoon kar dungi, captain! You left after dancing with your drama queen aur me aur naina yaha waha dhundhte rahe! Do you what'd happen? Tum sare mard hote hi ek jaise ho! I dont know how that poor girl put up with you! Me to tumhari ye badtameeji dekhu bhi na.'

'Do you know how I put up with her!'

Damn! He just slipped truth out. Noo...it was his blunder. Now shal'll ask so many questions and he'd bath in his own sweat answering them. Goodness. In anger he just caused a misfortune for himself.

'I mean...You dont know how we are with each other. Aur mujhe gussa kuch jyada hi aa raha he aajkal. Actually while leaving I saw her dancing.....Umm...Aur phir Important call bhi aa gaya tha..To suddenly chala aaya. I am sorry yar.'

'You know what captain tum aur tumhare juth mujhe saaf najar aate he. Since the day first I know something is wrong with both of you. Na to wo kabhi tumhare bare me baat karti he na tum. At least she is civil with you..lekin tum...tum to mowgali bane pade ho! Dont you have sense? Last night tumhare excuses phir Naina se ankhe churana, then you left us! Waah...Ye seekha he tumne? Tum to aise nahi the. Ya phir aisa kuch he jo me nahi jaanti? Hmm? Tell me!'

He saw shalini going into her detective mode. This woman was example of super woman. She'd get your darkest secrets of that too within minutes. Her nagging was best cure for those who're super hideous. She always forced you to utter truth. She coukd do that. Raj knew her since his academy days.

But truth was not meant to be come out. Raj never wanted his image to stained because his wife was available for people. He wanted a clean and clear carrier but with her it was not possible. Hence he kept his marriage secret. Only people at academy knew and his parents. Nobody else except them.

But if shal begins her torturous questions, he will be spitting truth out. Noo....he needed to rescue his image along this marriage. Because Abhimanyu could not happen to come him first. There would be many men.......

........who had enjoyed her...

..........and given her what she needed....

'Ab bolo bhi!'

'We.....Its because....Shadi suddenly huyi he. She was about to get married with somebody else. Shal. You know na I am awkward with people specially girls...isliye...we are not that open. I think you'd understand. Aur ye kya paka rahi ho yar. Mess se chai bhijwao..sar dard he.'

He tried to shoo her away...but she looked straight into his eyes. Shal took deep breathe and held his arm.

'I am not buying your story. You know Me kisi ki life me bewajah interfere ni karti...lekin...Naina is naveen' sister. Aur phir tum mere bahut acche dost ho. Isliye me pooch rahi hu. Raj..Its not like I want to cause you trouble. I just want to know why you guys are so distant. Kma ke kisi bhi student se puch lo. Everybody thinks tum logo ki shadi...its facade...Tarah tarah ki batein hoti he. I just want you guys to be happy....with each other. Perhaps you people need a third person. Kabhi kabhi aisa hota he hamari problem ka solution kisi aur ke pass hota he...bas yahi chahti hu me ki naina aur tum khush raho. Kal rat parking lot me I asked her to call you but usne tumko call nahi kiya....tarah tarah ke excuses diye. Nandini ke sath tumko dekh kar bhi she didnt react. Wo biwi hokar parayo jaise behave kar rahi he. Kyu? I know her. Naveen bhale hi tumse na bolta ho lekin uski bahan ke kayi kisse usne mujhe sunaye the. She is not like that.'

She sat next to him while he in mind kept calculating things.

'Dekho Raj. Shadi ek bar hoti he.. specially in India. Kahne ko to log dus shadi kar le...but first time jo devotion aur ecstasy hoti he..phir nahi hoti. I know iske bhi exceptions he. But agar saamne wala banda ek chance deserve karta he...why don't we try! Raj.....please....Jo bhi problems he dono baith kar solve karo. You guys need each other. Come on...Talk her. Agar tum logo issues bahut jyada bade he to get divorced. Warna give it a chance. Please...Mene rishte toot te huye dekhe he...bahut dard hota he jab aapki ek galti se koi khoobsurat rishta bhikhar jaye..Raj. its not late. Naina ki ankho me tumhare liye respect he..apna pan he. Uski kadra karo. Aise door door bhagoge to ek mod par aakar akele rah jaaoge..Mind my advise.'

Raj didnt want to give shal false assumptions. Becayse if she by chace git one she would take no time in digging his truth out.

He gestured her with warmth of friendship. Holding her hand and gently pressing them together.

'Come on shalu. Agar mera rishta ek chance deserve karta he...you know Me har keemat par use nibhaunga. Why you think like we are not in a circle. We are...clise to each other. Lekin...we need time. Come on yar...Ab to jagga jasus ke avatar se bahar aoo. Now tell me where you left her?'

His inside flinched but he decided to give it a call. He asked for her despite of being well aware she would be with her one timer.

'Alekh baba ke room me. You know he is terrible dancer. Kal hum log mile the usko. Just after you so called dance call. Alekh waha aaya tha. Phir kya hum teeno bato bato me dance floor par pahuch gaye and naina tried to teach het. Us bande ne naina ke pairo ka jo haal kiya...only she knew. Uske bad alu ki matar ka call aa gaya aur wo param biwi bhakt..he left us! Phir jo huya...You know. Rat bhar we waited for you in parking lot. Abhi morning me 2 baje galti se alekh remembered us. Then he picked us up. Aur abhi jabardasti he took naina to apply antiseptic and balm. That guy! Namuna he poora...'

Shal laughed and his mind focused on that particular part..

ALEKH AND NAINA DANCED TOGETHER..

But how she knew Alekh? Was there something hidden from him?

'How she knew alekh?'

'Dimag mat khao captain! Tumhari biwi ka rakhi bhai he..tim sab mard na hote hi shakki ho...Bhai par bhi shak! Yuck...I dont want to sit next to you. Tum rote raho apne sar dard me..I need some sleep. Timhare jaise log sirf insomnia aur head ache dete he. Bbbye.'

Shal left and he felt a rush of shame and guilt....

Perhaps he needed to see in the matter deeply. Only looking at surface doesn't count. No....He needed to see her clearly and then doubt her...

Paisa nahi aur kuch bhi he...

But again someone's words rang in his mind. He needed to see her at once..

His wait got over after ten minutes.

She came with band aids on her feet while her heels in her hand. He leaped to her..

'Mujhe kuch baat karni he.'

But she ignored him and left. To her hiding away from him.

'Me kuch bol raha hu...why dont you listen! Aur ye kaha bhag rahi ho? You cant go without replying me!'

He saw her halting. He could see her taking deep breaths. Then rubbing her temple and finally once again deep breaths..

'I know...aapko kya puchna he. I can assure you one thing.. jo bhi apne mere bare me socha he.. its right. Its true. Because I dont have any evidence to prove it wrong. Now I have an early class..I have to sleep.'

He saw her going to her hiding fastly. Without turning back...not giving him a look back.

Her tone was bitter. He had felt it. Like she didnt want to talk him. As if she wanted to ignore him...wanted to run away from him.

Shal said she respected him. So where is her respect when she shut the study at his face? Where are her emotions for him when she ran away neglecting him?

He had thought of giving all this a chance. But what could he do when she herself wanted distance?

Let people in KMA have gossip!

Nooo...It could be dangerous for his image. The goody two shoe image he had built after hard work of so many years. He is reliable in army offices. If he is rude and inhumane to his own wife,people'll degrade him..

He needed his image. But deep down he knew they were back to square one as always. THIS  relation was never going to work.

He knew it since the day he saw her at altar...But as long as they were together, he needed this relation not as a blot.

He was being selfish. He knew....But....He had worked hard for his image and post.....which she had not!!!!!

P.S. four more chapters to naina' truth to unveil....completely or little...I dont know..

Aur I want time to write updates. So please guys...be patient...please. I was busy today. Tension itna he ki pet tak pahuch gya..🙈...soo...next update...wait.
