He came rushing the door
To see her sitting with a glass of water in her hand .....
She stood up seeing him to go to him
He came running to her to fill her in his arms
"Naina....
Are you good
Kuch hua to nahi na
U r not hurt , right"
He quickly checked for any injury
"I am all right"
She said still in a delirium
The store manager once again thanked naina for her quick witt and bravery which saved a great damage
And she just nodded in response.. lost in her own thoughts...
When rajveer escorted her to exit .
____________
"How did I do all that....
I took three armed men down... with bare hands ...
She muttered with coffee mug still in her hands.... Cold and ignored
"Naina.... Don't....."
"Don't you dare say that it was nothing
I am overthinking"
She practically yelled at him cutting his words in between
"Mujhe us gun ka nam pata tha
I knew exactly how to pull the trigger
And as I shot I was so confident about my aim....
How are you going to explain this"
She dashed the cup on table and stood up from her seat to walk a few steps towards the window...
"I know you are hiding something
Abhi bhi bohot kuch hai ,jo apne mujhe nahi bataya hai...."
"Naina
You were in NCC in college...."
He said making her turn to him
"It's convenient
But I am not buying it"
She said adamant to what she believes.
Folding her hands to underline her anger
_____________
He is sitting with Shalini in her and ud's new appartment.....
"You can't unlearn skills .....
She was a sharp shooter.... "
Shalini made a comment....
Raj looking at the cup of coffee kept on table.
"Mujhe laga tha ke we are leaving everything behind....
But your past shadows will always haunt you
No matter what"
He rest his head back on the sofa
"Atleast you two got eachother....
It's like winning half the battle"
"And what about the other half ...
It's like walking in dark with no sense of direction or ray of light....
You don't know where to turn
Whether to take that next step or not.
Something lurking in the dark for you to end you up...."
"Just hold on to your faith and keep moving "
She pressed his hand...
"I shouldn't have left her ....
Sometimes I feel that it's all my fault
I thought that I am leaving her for good....
I left her alone Shalini.... When she needed me the most....
I pushed her to the edge of this mental trauma....
I should have been there to cushion her shocks....
Her parents death...
Naveen 's failed trial....
I abandoned her...."
"You can't undo it rajveer
Your intentions were good....
And there is no point in regretting....
You are here know with her.... Make best out of it "
___________
They are eating their dinner in silence...
He is trying to read her face.
"Can you pass that bowl "
He asked
And she gave it without looking at him.
He is doing the dinner dishes at sink
While she is putting away the left over in fridge....
