All except Naina are walking outside the house after dinner. Everyone is in their own thoughts. After sometime they take their seat on the grass in garden. Huda looks upwards at Rajveer's room. The light in that room is still on.

"Doston, iss Phoolan ko koi samjhao. Kahin aisa naa ho ke Sir thik ho jaye aur ye bimar pad jaye." Huda expresses his concern for Naina.

"Kar lene dijiye aaj unhe jo karna hain. Kalse hum aisa nahin hone denge. Jyada stress unke liye acha nahin hoga." Says Ali who also turns to look at the light of Rajveer's room.

"Guys, mujhe toh ab bhi yakeen nahin ho raha. Kal raat shayad issi waqt humne decide kiya tha ke hum Rajveer sir ko dhoond lenge. Aur dekho, after 24 hours, he is with us." Yudi is still not able to believe that what happened today is true.

"Aisa ho jata hain Yudi. Kabhi kabhi barso tak call nahin lagta aur ek din achanak jab socha bhi naa ho hume khud call aa jata hain. Mujhe lagta hain aaj Naina bahot jyada thaki huyi hain. Pehle academy mein kaam aur phir ye sab. Physically aur mentally bhi uske phone ki battery down hain. Kya aaj raat tum logon mein se koi so sakta hain sir ke pass? Main usko kaise bhi mana lungi." Everyone is thinking only same thing to which Pooja has given words.

"Taiyar toh aapun sab hain. Lekin kya wo manegi?" Aalekh knows Naina very well.

"Usse manna padega Qaidi." Declares Huda. Huda turns to look at Aalekh and gets up from his seat. He folds his hand to his chest and looks upward to see at Rajveer's room once again and continues, "Main ye achi tarah se janta hun Qaidi ke Sirji ko Phoolan ke siwa koi aur thik nahin kar sakta. Par iske liye sabse jaruri hain Phoolan ka thik rehna. Humme kuch karna hoga yaron."

"I have an idea dude." Yudi says getting up from his place. Everone looks at him. "Kyu na hum yeh decide kar le ke sir ke pass kaun kab rahega. Aakhir sab log chahte hain sir ke sath time spend karna. Kyun chief?" Yudi looks at Aalekh for support.

"Yeh Yudi thik keh rela hain. Lekin abhi ye karneki naubat nahin aayi." Says Aalekh. All look at him confusingly. "Shayad Naina aur tum sab log ek baat bhul rahe ho ke aapun ko aur Naina ko parso matlab untees(29) January ko Delhi jaana hain retreat parade keliye. Agar aaj tum sab log ghar bhi chale jaatey phir bhi aapun dono ko wapas Delhi jaana hi padta. Toh Naina sir ke pass hamesha toh nahin reh sakti. Woh chahe bhi toh bhi nahin." Aalekh reminds them all about their duty.

"Are haan Qaidi, hum toh bhul hi gaye. Tum dono ko toh retreat parade ke liye bhi chuna gaya hain na." Huda places his hand on his head's backside. "Lekin iss Phoolan ka kya, wo aayegi?" Asks Huda.

"Usse aana hi padega Huda. Uske mentor ne use duty ko nibhana sikhaya hain." Says Aalekh firmly. "Shayad aapun dono ko kal hi niklana pade. Aapun ki abhi khana khane ke baad Delhi baat ho gayi hain." Informs Aalekh.

"Guru, aap fikra mat kijiye. Aap bas Naina ko sambhaliye. Hum sab hain yaha sir ke pass. Aur pata nahin kyun lekin hume lag raha hain ke sir jaldi thik ho jayenge. Shayad aap logon ke aane se pehle." Ali speaks it out in the heat of moment.

"Oye Ali.." Pooja shouts and hugs Ali. "Agar aisa hota hain toh kitna acha hoga. Rab ji karein tere mobile ka version upgrade ho jaye." All laughs at Pooja's silly wish.

Huda comes at Ali and Pooja. He sits near them, on his one knee and says, "Oye Panjaban, control kar apne emotions pe aur jakar Phoolan ko sambhal. Jaa , bahar nikal usko sir ke kamre se."

All stands up. (Fast LRL tune starts in the Background)

Yudi says determindedly, "So guys, now we have two missions. Pehla, Rajveer sir ko jagana aur dusra Naina ko sambhalna. And we have to do these. Hamare pass yahi ek holiday hain ek saath kuch karne keliye. So What say.." Yudi extends his hands and motions all to join him. Everyone places their hand on his.

-------

Aalekh and Pooja enter in Rajveer's room. They see that Naina is talking to Rajveer taking his hand in hers. Aalekh goes to her and places his hand on her shoulder. Naina turns to see him.

"Chal Naina, sone chal. Ali aaj sir ke pass so jayega." Says Aalekh

Naina shakes her head in NO and once again turns to look at Rajveer. "Nahin Aalekh, uski koi jarurat nahin hain. Main hun yaha sir ke saath. Tum sab so jao." She says determinedly.

"Naina tu shayad bhul rahi hain ke aapun dono ko retreat parade ke liye kal Delhi niklna hain. Aur neend puri hona tere liye jasti jaruri hain." Aalekh reminds her. Naina looks at him pleadingly. Aalekh understands very well what Naina wants to say. "Nahin Naina, tu kuch bol hi mat. Tujhe aana hain. Jab Rajveer sir ko ye pata chalega ke tune orders nahin mane ya duty nahin nibhayi toh wo naraj ho jayenge. Phir aapunse kuch mat keh."

Naina does not utter a word. She just stares at Rajveer and their entwined hands.  She doesn't want to go away from him or let his hand go from her. But she has to. With heavy mind, she keeps his hand on bed.

Pooja goes to her and says, "Tu chinta mat kar Naina. Ali hain yahanpe. Kuch bhi hota hain toh wo call kar dega hume. Tu chal abhi mere saath."

Aalekh and Pooja head towards the door when Ali enters. He looks at Naina who is constantly turning back to see Rajveer. Aalekh gestures Pooja to take Naina in their room. Pooja exists the room with Naina. Aalekh says, "Ali, dekh, agar kuch bhi problem hoti hain toh aapunko utha dena. Aapunko nahin lagta ke aapunko aaj raat neend aane wali hain."

"Aap bilkul chinta mat kijiye guru, humein nahin lagta ke koi problem hogi. Doctor sahab aur Dadaji ne bhi toh yahi kaha ke chinta ka koi karan nahin. Phir bhi agar humein kuch bhi lage toh hum bata denge." Replies Ali while preparing his bed on floor. "Ab humare khayal se aapko jaake neend lane ki koshish karni chahiye. Agle do (2) din phir aaram karne miley , naa miley, kya pata. Bas, Naina ka khayal rakhiyega. Good night." Aalekh smiles at him. He wishes him the same and goes to his room.

Ali sits near Rajveer and says, "Sir, hum bata nahin sakte ke aapko phirse hamare saath dekh kar hum kitne khush hain. Itne mahino mein jab bhi Naina ko dekhte the, uske baare mein sochte the toh kahin naa kahin uski haalat ke liye khud ko jimmedar mante the. Hamesha aisa lagta hain ke agar uss waqt humne Maj. Bhargav ka saath nahin diya hota toh aapki aur Naina ki kahani kuch aur hoti. Galtise hi sahi, par hum se jo hua uska sab se bura asar aap dono pe hua. Sir, aapko yaad hain tab aapne mujhse kaha tha ke,

"Acha soldier banne ke liye acha insan banna jaruri hain."

Aur Sir, tabse lekar aaj tak hum wahi acha insan banne ki koshish kar rahe hain. Pure dil se. Chaliye Sir, hum toh chale sone. Par agar aap ki neend puri ho gayi ho toh aap uth jayiye. Humare liye nahin toh kam se kam Naina ke liye." Ali smiles at him. Then he switches of the light and retires for the day.

-------

Rays of sun disturb sleep of Pooja. She opens her eyes and checks the clock. It is showing 8 o'clock of morning.  She looks at her other side of bed which is empty. She takes a glimpse of her bedroom and sees that Naina is standing at another window gazing outside. "Arey, Naina tu uth gayi? Neend toh puri ho gayi naa teri? Mujhe ek call toh kiya hota. Chal main teri packing mein madad kar deti hun." Pooja says while walking towards her.

"Kuch packing nahin karni Pooja. Kuch unpack hi nahin kia toh pack kya karna." Naina, who is still looking from outside the window replies her. Pooja glances at her packed luggage.

"Thik hain. Main neeche breakfast banane jaa rahi hun. Tu aa rahi hain?" Pooja asks. But Naina doesn't give her reply. Pooja looks at her empty eyes. "Main teri haalat samajh rahi hun Naina." Pooja tries to cheer her up. "Apne battery ke bina mobile nahin chal sakta. Par tujhe ye karna hoga Naina. Tu yahan ki chinta bilkul mat kar. Aur tu bhi toh teen ya chaar dinon mein aa hi jayegi. Bas abhi sab chinta chod aur chal mere saath kitchen mein." Pooja drags Naina with her.

-----

Aalekh and Naina are ready to leave for New Delhi for retreat parade. Everyone is sad for Naina but feeling extremely proud of their friends. Aalekh asks Naina, "Naina kya tu ek baar milna chahti hain?"

"Nahin Aalekh." Naina replies immediately. "Agar main abhi gayi toh shayad apne farz se chuk jau, tere saath aa na pau. Ab mujhe khud par bharosa nahin hain. I can not believe in myself." (She smiles sarcastically)

All stares at her. Indeed, it is one hard decision for Naina. But they prefer to remain silent on her reply. Pooja hugs Naina and Aalekh, follows by all.

"Apna khayal rakhiyo tum dono aur phone karte rahiyo. Yaha ki fikra mat karo, Hum hain yahan. Main ab kahin na jane wala mere Captain sir ko chodke." Huda says emotionally.

"Haan Huda. Tu yaha sambhal. Aapun waha sambhal lega sab." Aalekh replies to Huda and turns to look at Ali and Pooja. "Aapun ko pata hain ke yeh dono ab manenge nahin par ho sake toh inhe do(2) din ke liye ghar bhejo. Inn dono ke shaadi ki taarikh tay honewali hain aur aapunko lagta hain ke unka waha hona jasti jaruri hain." Aalekh tells to Huda and Yudi while looking at the pair.

"Jaldi chal Aalekh." Naina says getting impatient. As if she stays their some more minutes, she will not go. She knows this fact. Aalekh can understand her condition. After saying bye to all, they head off with Huda who is going to drop them at Bus Stand.

-----

It is a dinner time and they are badly missing Naina and Aalekh. All are eating silently. They are engrossed in their own thoughts. Suddenly Ali asks Pooja while munching his food, "Pooja, kya Naina ka koi call aaya kya aapko? Wo dono thik se pohonch toh gaye na?" All raises their necks from their dishes.

"Woh dono army officers hain bro, itni tension mat le unki." Yudi replies instead of Pooja.

"Haan Yudi bhai, humein pata hain ke ve dono army officers hain. Phir bhi, aaj ki baat alag hain. Humein Naina ki bahot fikra ho rahi hain." Ali's concern for Naina is evident.

"Haan Ali, tu fikra mat kar. Aalekh ka call aa gaya hain Huda ko. Aur naina bhi thik hain. Aalekh hain na uske saath toh humein Naina ki chinta karneki koi jarurat nahin. Wo missed call uska khayal rakh lega." Says Pooja.

"Aur ussol, tu ab Naina ki chinta chod aur khudki kar." Says Huda, he puts his spoon in his plate and places both his hand on table and continues, "bhul gaya, Qaidi kya kehke gaya hain. Tum dono ko ghar jana chahiye. Thodi der pehle tumhare Abbu ka phone aaya tha na.. kyun.. sahi keh raha hun naa mein?

Ali looks downwards and replies, "Haan , aaya tha."

"Toh kya keh rahe the uncle ji? Asks Huda.

"Kuch khass nahin.. yahi ke..." Ali is fighting with words.

"Yahi ke tum dono ko ghar bulaya hain. Maine kiya tha uncle ji ko phone. Mujhe unhone sab bataya. Tumhe janahi hoga ussol" says Huda.

"Par.. aise kaise hum..." Yudi interrupts Ali in midway, "Please dude, ab ye mat kehna ke tum dono humein chodke jaa nahin sakte. Hum dono bachhe nahin hain naa hi ye sheher naya hain. Dude, it's my home. Hum reh sakte hain yahan. Aur rahi baat Sir ki, toh we will manage. Waise bhi hospital boys aate hi hain."

"Oye Yudie, ye naa kar hi nahin sakte. Inke tickets jo nikalke laya hun main." Huda handovers two tickets to Ali. "Tum log kal ki bus se jaa rahe ho aur ye Huda ka final decision hain." Informs Huda.

Ali and Pooja both look at each other and then at Huda. They have tears in their eyes. Ali gets up from his chair and hugs Huda. Huda also hugs him back.

"Hum ek shart pe jayenge." Says Ali and all look at him. "Rajveer sir ke baare mein pal pal ki khabar aap mujhe dete rahenge." Huda smiles and says, "Oye tu chinta mat kar usool. Main tumhe batata rahunga aur phir ye jung toh unhe aur hume jitni hi hain." Huda says determinedly.

(Song starts playing in background.)

  Yeh Hosla Kaise Jhuke,
  Yeh Aarzoo Kaise Ruke

  Yeh Hosla kaise jhuke
  Yeh Aarzoo kaise Ruke

  Manzil Mushkil to kya,
  Dhundla Sahil to kya,
  Tanha Ye Dil toh kya
  Ho Hooo

------

Yudi goes in Rajveer's room. It is a pleasant evening. He stands near Rajveer's bed. In last 4 days, he doesn't have courage to see Rajveer in that condition. Two days before, Ali and Pooja also left for Ali's home where two families suppose to meet and going to decide date of their marriage. That evening, first they enjoyed Aalekh and Naina's Retreat parade show on television and then they both went to catch the bus. Now only he with Huda is there with Rajveer. Huda never leaves Rajveer alone and Yudi generally looks after other things of home and hospital. But today, he has taken charge of Rajveer's care because he also wants to spend time with his sir.

"Lt. Yaduvansh Sahani reporting Sir!" Yudi says with big smile and salutes him.

He sits near him and continues, "Sorry sir. Main aapke at ease Lt' kehne tak ruka nahin. Waise agar rukta toh thodi problem ho jati mere liye. Lekin agar aap keh dete toh acha bhi lagta. So let it be. Actually you know sir, you should thank me. Maine aapko uss Huda ke bak bak se jo chutkara dilaya. Do(2) dinose uss jat ko aap jhel rahe ho. Wo toh mujhe aane hi nahin de raha tha aapke pass. Aap ek baar uth jayenge toh we will together take revenge from him. Ya aapko tang karta hain aur mujhe bhi. Abhi badi mushkil se bahar bheja hain usse."

"Sir, you know, iss saal aapke cadets Republic day parade ke liye select huye the. Ohh ya.. and your two best cadets, Aalekh and Naina, wo toh Retreat parade mein bhi the. Unn dono ko waha superiors ne rokke rakha hain kaam ke liye warna aapko toh pata hain, Naina bhag ke bhi yaha aa jati parade ke baad. Aur apne Ali aur Pooja, woh toh bhai ab shaadi ke mood mein hain. They are getting married soon and Sir, unke shaadi mein toh aapko aana hi hain."

Yudi places his hand on Rajveer's forehead.

"Sir, you know something, aaj main Indian Intelligence Bureau mein best technician and hacker hun. Agar aap thik ho jaye toh hum ek saath kam kar sakte hain. Aapke department mein sirf meri posting huyi aur kisiki nahin. So I am very happy. The man like my Rajveer sir, jinke liye koi bhi kaam impossible nahin hain aisa main hamesha manta hun. Toh phir ab aapke liye iss neend se uthna sach mein itna difficult hain?" sighs Yudi.

  Raah Pe Kante Bikhre agar,
  Uspe to phir bhi chalna hi hai,
  Shaam Chhupale Suraj magar,
  Raat ko ek din Dhalna hi hai,

Naina is standing near her room's window when Aalekh enters. He goes near her and places his hand on her shoulder. She turns to look at him. She has tears in her eyes. Aalekh's heart swells after looking at her.

"Bas Naina, aur kuch din. Jis din aapun dono ka ye head quarters ka kaam pura ho jayega uss din sham ko aapun dono Rajveer sir ke pass honge. Ghar pe. Duty hain naa, nibhani padengi."

Naina chooses to stay silent and once again starts looking outside window.

  Rut ye tal jayegi,
  Himmat rang layegi,
  Subaha phir aayegi
  Hooo

  Yeh Hosla Kaise Jhuke,
  Yeh Aarzoo Kaise Ruke
  Yeh Hosla Kaise Jhuke,
  Yeh Aarzoo Kaise Ruke

Time is running at his own speed. Days are passing. Huda and Yudi are taking care of every small thing of Rajveer. Doctors, hospital boys, medicines, their talk with him, these all things are now become routine for them.

"12 din ho gaye inn dono ko gaye huye. Ek din ke retreat parade ke bahane Col. Rastogi ne inhe rok hi lia. Kya iss project ke kaam ke liye aur koi soldiers nahin mile inko. Aalekh-Naina hi kyun? Says Yudi frustratingly.

"Kyunki wo dono best hain Yudie. Mujhe toh Phoolan ki chinta ho rahi hain. Acha, sun, Usool ka phone aaya tha. Wo dono parso wapas aa rahe hain. Hamari chutti ke aakhir ke hafte mein inn dono ki shaadi tay ho gayi hain.. Hum sab ko 10 din pehle se waha bulaya hain." Informs Huda.

"Wow Bro, Great news. I hope Ali-Pooja ki shaadi mein Rajveer sir bhi hamare saath ho." Wishes Yudi. Huda looks at Yudi. He also wishes the same.

"Aisa jarur hoga Yudie, aisa jarur hoga." Huda says confidently.

Hogi humein jo rehmat adaa,
  Dhup kategi saaye tale,
  Apni khuda se hai ye Dua,
  Manzil lagale humko gale

It's a next day's morning.

Rajveer is still in coma.

Naina and Aalekh are working on an important project in Head quarters with their colleagues. Their faces are expressionless.

Ali goes at Dargah to pray for his Sir with Pooja.

Yudi is swaping old photographs of their seven in his laptop.

Huda is sitting near Rajveer and holds his hand in his hand.

jurrat so baar rahe,
  Uncha Ikraar rahe,
  Zinda har pyar rahe
  Hooo Hooo

"Uth jaiyena Sirji, waise ye Jat kisiko itni request kabhi karta nahin. But aap toh mere Captain Sir hain. Abhi Qaidi ka phone aaya tha thodi der pehle. Aaj sham ko wo aur Naina aa rahe hain wapas."

And Huda feels some movements in his hands of Rajveer's fingers.
