Rajveer Naina-Rebirth of love

Chapter 5

Recap---Well I will take this letter to the town to get this handwriting checked. You all try to solve this" He said handing Huda the paper with the writing. With that all 7 of us exited the office, with determination to find out what is happening.

That night Pooja and I were sitting on our beds, facing each other. Like she has been doing for the past few days, Pooja was lost in her own world. I finally decided to ask her what is wrong.

"Pooji, I have been noticing for the past few days, you seem lost. What is wrong?" I inquired, but got no response. I waited a few minutes and said "Pooji, Pooji." I still didn't get a response, so I went down on my knees in front of her and violently shook her.

"What, Naina what has gotten into you? Why are you shaking me like a mobile vibrating?"  She responded coming out of her trance. I shook my head at her comparison and sat back down on my bed.

"Pooja, I called your name multiple time, you didn't respond. Where are you lost nowadays? Thinking about Usool Bhai or what?" I teased her.

"Yeah Naina. You know, he doesn't have even a single romantic ring tones. All of his ring tones are polite, stupid, and full of his Usool'." She complained, pouting like a little child who didn't get their favorite toy.

"So what is the problem? Just talk to him." I suggested.

"It's not that easy Naina. When Capt. Rajveer was here, than he used to solve all of our problems. I am just not use to talking to Ali about all this, you know..." She said. I got lost in my own dream and world and said.

"I know what you mean Pooja. Just walking into his room between classes and talking about everything and nothing. Sharing every happiness and sadness with him. Troubling him with every little problem. I can still imaging the little smile that appeared on his face whenever we talked. The way..."

"You really loved him na?" Pooja Questioned, or rather stated, bringing me out of my lala land.

"That's not the point." I said walked toward her, sat next to her and put my hands on her knees on a sympathize manner.  "The point is, he would want us to be independent. He would want us to solve our problem, and I'm pretty sure he would break if he had to see us needing someone to solve our problem for us." I said.

"You are right Naina. Thank you so much." She said hugging me.

"You are welcome. Now sleep before Lolita ma'am comes to check on us again." I said smiling and walking toward my bed. I got in my cover, and within a few minute I could hear the peaceful breathing of Pooja, but Rajveer sir's thought haunted my mind all night, making sure sleep didn't come anywhere near me.

The next morning around nine, all of us walked, or rather dragged our sore body, to the mess from Maj. Nair's morning drills. We all seated down on the table, while suriji bought us our food.

"Putter ji, eat it. You will need the energy. You have two more drills with Maj. Nair lined up for today." He said and left, while we all groaned

"Did you talk to him yet?" I whispered to Pooja, who was sitting next to me. She just shook her head in negative and starting eating as if she has nothing more interesting to do, while I just sighed in disappointment.  A few minutes of silence followed. After a few minutes Alekh spoke up.

"Have anyone figured out the clue yet" He questioned. A bunch of nos and not yets were heard around the table. I turned hopefully to Huda and asked "Huda?"

"Sorry yaar Phoolan. I can't understand anything. "He replied looking desperate.

"We just have about 13 hours left. I wonder if Capt. Abhimanyu found out anything." Alekh said.
