Army Hospital, New Delhi.

naveen punched rajveer one more time.

'bahanchod! is bar hath uthaya na to hath tod dunga.' rajveer blocked naveen' another upcoming punch

'ha sale! tu hath laga ke dikha. ek to tu intelligence ke nam par kala dhabba he..upar se sale jo pichle char din se soya nahi hu main..uska hisab kaun dega! and dont forget you slept with my sister whom you had divorced three to four years back. 

i'll kill you today!'

hearing naveen rajveer stops in midway. dropping his all guards and ready to have any punishment. after all he has committed a crime.

'ha. teri is surat pr naina fisalti hogi..main nahi fisalne wala.' he clutches his collar. 

'tu ye bta...tu abhimanyu ke piche akele kyu gaya?"

rajveer is unable to look into his eyes. he keeps on looking at ground...his voice miserable.. remembering his past sins...and thus grounding himself even more..What he'd tell naveen.

'bol na.' naveen shakes his bandaged form. rajveer is agitated now.

'you know why! ye sab shuru usi ne kiya tha...wo bhi mujhe mohra bana ke. i had to do this. this was my real chance of redemption. if not for my shallow thinking i'd not have ill treated naina. she had faced so much in her past and i too acted like an asshole to her. i made her life more miserable everyday she was with me. after she left me i was not able to look at myself in eyes. khud se nafrat ho gayi thi mujhe. and i know i deserved every ounce of this loath I had for myself. 

naina is a goddess. she could move on and forgive me..but I am not. i could not move on and forgive myself. i am not sying i fell in love with her because of pity. she deserves much better but....i could not let her fall into clutches of the man who......who killed her innocence. i had to correct my past mistakes and this was the only way..'

'going alone in lion's dane..???.

bhai...ye koi 80s ki movie nahi he ki hero akela villain ko dhool chata dega! were you out of your fucking mind?' naveen roars.

'no...i was not. i had been keeping a tab on him lately. i had some records of his money laundering cases and some copies of F.I.Rs. but when i got posted with naina this time...it just slipped out of my mind. and look...he was back to ruin our lives. 

main koi dhoodh pita baccha nahi hu. i had very good idea of what i was doing.' 

hearing him naveen laughs..

'yeah..and thats why we found you beaten black and blue! do you wonder for even a second if naina had not pulled that trigger...you were dead. you had not been chatting and showing off your bravery..instead you would have gotten your frame hanged wit a late prefix to your name! and guess what....with defame. no one was going to call you a martyr. do you know this! do you have this idea, mr shekhawat!' with this naveen punches him one more time. 

'dekh...mera hath uth jayega. tu aukat me rah ab.'

naveen slapped him with his this line...

'ha utha na! tu hath utha...main gun uthaunga. do you think we are crazy! we care for you, you bloody swine. thats why ...thats why i am angry for you being a careless ass. we dont want to lose you that's why. why dont you think of us before you pull such stunts? why?

i have been following you since your divorce. kabhi alekh...kabhi koi...i was asking your juniors to give me your whereabouts. kya kar rha he tu? kaisa he tu? i wanted to know...every damn time. and you..the great shekhawta just went off radar. and when i get to see your majesty...he has bathed down in his own blood. but still your majesty says - i have everything under control! wow!!!'' 

rajveer has nothing to say. naveen is right. he was neck deep in guilt. guilt of being an inhuman, guilt of losing the best thing he could ever had...guilt of every damn mistake he ever committed...and he still remembers his all sins were committed against naina. that pious woman had faced his worst shade..even when she deserved only the best. he keeps quiet. what he would say! that perhaps he would have felt good even if he were dead...trying to ambush abhimanyu for that pen drive which consisted of naina' records signing a deal with non military personals thus ending her military career against corruption charges. but he was ready for this. he was ready for this death...somewhere trying to end that guilt which never ends..

'rajveer...tune galti ki thi char sal pahle...aaj char sal bad khud ko saja dene se koi fayda nahi he. you have done enough. move on. there is nothing left to hold onto.. naina has forgiven you. abhimanyu is dead. there is nothing left. jo huya so huya...now focus on your present. you need a happy ending. we all do. then dont ruin it with your guilt.if you have one, this is the only chance of redemption. embrace naina and love. embrace life....and dont look back ever..'

'that....is not easy.'

'yes, that is...tujhe kya lagta he...mujhe koi guilt nahi he kya? i let naina slip into hands of that bastard...she did this for me. and i too didnt believed her. but now...i have to make amends. i have to live with her...on my side..with all the love in world ready for her. why? because life doesnt give second chance and for correcting your mistakes you have to act upon good things. and guilt is not a good thing. it more or less just burdens you. being guilty is good thing but for this one guilt you can not end your life. this is not the way..rajveer. this is not THE way...not at all.'

rajveer takes a deep breath...still unsure how to feel about what naveen said. it is not rocket science but it is not a child's play either. 

'chal ye bta...tu teen din kya kya kiya? because kal rat se to tu is hospital bed par pada he.' naveen tries to change the topic. 

'what do you mean kya kya kya kiya?' rajveer is startled with his question.

'why did you disappear at first place? where were you, dumbhead?'

'ohh...'

'kya ohh! you are acting as if you are some drama actress. bata na...how did you get abhimanyu?'

'actually when i read his blackmail text to naina, i at once called bunty chaubey. he had some lead already. i had to dig up some more. there was this one year old case of murder attempt in which abhimanyu was involved but there was no proof. so we had to go and probe. bunty and i had our phone switched off so that no one could trace us. when we met the victim we got to know this was not just murder attempt, there had been more to it. the person who was tried to kill was one of real estate agent. when we talked more, we got to know more. three to five properties illegally attached to someone close to abhimanyu. some more bribe offences but this was not enough. we needed more. military case was out of picture because it would have involved naina too. we had to try some civil case. i had at least fifteen offences against abhimanyu so i contacted him. we set a meet up and he deceived me at the end time. he tried to eliminate me...which you have known already. 

but how did you reach me?'

'teri dusri biwi!' naveen exclaims making rajveer bit angry.

'matlab?'

'bunty chaubey. he informed us about your little rendezvous with abhimanyu. i and naina had some doubts about it. she was sure that nobody but abhimanyu can have you this much involved so basically we were waiting for a lead and when we got...we had to come.' rajveer nods.

naveen makes him sit on hospital bed and himself sits at the farthest corner. there is some silence. both keeps quiet for some time. naveen taking a break from beating rajveer. he picks one banana from side table and peels it off. 

'you know major karthik is suspended.' he tells rajveer picking another apple from basket. 

'he deserved this..bastard!'

'yeah...and you are next.'

'i dont care...neither i give a damn. even if they threw me out of army i have no repent. its been already ten years..five more years and i'll be off. i have had enough. now i myself want a way out.'

'hmm...'

naveen is about to tell him something when the door opens and nurse walks in. she checks rajveer' injuries. one of them bleeding..

'captain shekhawat. you were supposed to sit straight. don't you see your wound is bleeding. i had warned you about your posture. you people think we doctors are crazy and you are supermen.' rajveer glares naveen because it was his punch in his gut that opened his dressing. 

naveen is smirking. 

'is blood loss severe?' naveen sweetly asks nurse.

'no. but the wound will take time to heal now that there has been bleeding. and mr. i want you out of patient' ward after thiry minutes. he needs rest. am i clear?'

naveen nods his head and winks at nurse. she blushes a little and then covers it up with cough and leaves not before remarking something about scattered stuff in the corner which was done by their little brawl. 

naveen is laughing after nurse' departure.

'sale has le. tera bhi din aayega.'

'nahi bhai...apni to rat aati he. biwi sone nahi deti...bhai bta raha hu pregnant biwi is worse than major bhargva. sala rat ka to pta hi nahi chalta..kabhi madam ko pizza khana hota he..kabhi boiled egg. ek bar unprotected sex ka natija itna khatarnak ho sakta he...i had never imagined.'

rajveer laughs a little wondering if things were simpler he would have been in same state sooner or later.

'stop dreaming of impregnating my sister. main abhi bhi yahi baitha hu haramkhor!'

'ab sale main jindagi bhi na jiyu...

waise how does it feels to be a father?' he looks at naveen who gives him a big dreamy smile.

'sach kahu....it is the best feeling. whenever i touch annie' belly my little munchkin responds by kicking. there is nothing better than that moment. and you wont believe...annie ko rat me mere bina neend nahi aati. she sleeps cuddling me...actually trying to cuddle me. sixth month he uska. this phase is so exciting...sach bol raha hu. i am waiting for my baby to come out and call me dada. i feel so happy everyday.'

rajveer's eyes lil bit moist...dreams like this doesnt make sense to him. he had yearned for a family but he had the chance of having one he himself kicked that chance far away. he will be thankful to life if life gives him another chance.

'ek bat bata..'

'pooch.'

'agar main naina se dobara shadi kar lu to tujhe koi aitraaz to nahi he na?' a little bit scared rajveer voices out his emotions. naveen is glaring him with blood in his eyes. rajveer shifts far away.

'pahle prenup sign karega tu is bari. agar meri bahan ek bar bhi royi to tujhe goli main marunga...aur pani bhi nahi puchunga.'

rajveer is about to hug naveen when he pushes him away.

'i am allergic to bromance. biwi ke sath romance ka natija mujhe dikh rha he. i dont want more headache. tu sad yahi...main chala. sham ki flight se nikalna he.'

rajveer smiles but has a question lingering in his brain..

'waise naina....naina kaha he? aayi nahi wo mujhse milne.'

naveen laughs out loud.

'aise nahi milne dunga tujhse...sale...abhi to hisab poora karna he tujhse. wo nahi aane wali abhi.'

'kya matlab nahi aane wali! i want to see her. tu hota kaun he rokne wala?'

'tera sala. bahan he wo meri. aur main use kasam deke aaya hu ki jab tak apne dono pairo pr chalne phirne layak nahi ho jata wo tujhse na mile..'

'haramjade....tujhe pta he na recovery me saat din lagenege kam se kam.'

'ha isiliye to kasam di thi usko..aur tujhe kya lagta he..maine tujheko aate hi kyu peeta! I dont want you to get well soon. Jitna jaldi apni taango pr khada hoga..meri bahan ke sath maje karega which I dont want. So enjoy hospital. Shekhawat. Main chala.'

'Harami.'

rajveer throws water bottle at him. naveen laughs and scuttles away humming some song.
