Chapter-10 The Past

Disclaimer: Here's the next Chapter. This Chapter is dedicated to @Rinuesha. I will not specifically mention any of her stories as I love all of them. She is a terrific writer. Pls complete your stories. Now on with this story.

Naina started their story: I was a student of a prestigious Ambala College for BBA course at the time Naveen Bhaiyya joined KMA as a Cadet. The College especially focused on Dance, Music and other creative arts. Many of the students were National level performers. Classical Odissi dance was my favourite hobby. In my final year of college, a transfer student joined the college as a third year. That's how I met J I was assigned his mentor by the Buddy system. He was so quiet and reserved around college when I met him he would only talk about classes and career-oriented stuff. I noticed he never made friends so I tried to mingle with him. He would be polite and very formal even when I tried to be friends with him he wasn't very interested in being more than hi-bye friend. But one day in the college ball room while I was rehearsing for an event performance. I noticed him coming into the room and watching it with interest so I asked if he was interested in arts. He lied saying he was just curious as he heard that I was a good dancer. But I knew he was lying seeing the glint in his eyes. As his mentor, I asked to help me out as an assistant for props, setting up the stage etc in exchange for my notes he agreed. One day I was late for rehearsal I heard him singing and playing the guitar. I was mesmerized by his voice and the guitar music I felt like he had extraordinary talent. But by then he saw me said that the stage is ready and he was just fiddling with the instrument because he was bored waiting for me. From that day, something changed between us we became best friends and he slowly opened up to me saying he had transferred from Rosewood University in Nainital after one of his best friends Shreya suicided and he had given up on his music and dance because she was an integral part of his band at Rosewood. From that day I tried to take him under my wing I introduced him to the arts team in the college, took his suggestions on choreography and music I wanted to give him back his dream. He started talking about family that is when I got to about Anya Ji and his Dada and Chotte Bhai . Naina suddenly glared at Raj and Musafir: I got to know how his brothers were not very supportive of his career choice. Raj gulped thinking: She really is very protective of his brother. Was Bhabhi any less that Naina too is supporting the idiot? He was in for it. Musafir was surprised and impressed that someone apart from his Begumjaan has the audacity to glare at him even before being introduced to him. She was perfect for his Chotte and his family. I hadn't met Anya Ji till this point only heard of her. Then my entire life changed. Bhaiyya was declared a traitor and because of that I lost not just him but my happy life. All of our relatives disowned us and my friends too left. All except Jai: He fought with my ex-friends in college when I was banned from the arts team. He too left it even though he wanted pursue dance and music as his career. I was almost thrown out of this college before completing my degree. That's when he called Anya Ji who became a trustee of this college to prevent my expulsion. The place we were staying in Ambala was trashed and the owners asked us to leave. But none of our relatives batted an eyelid. So Anyaji rented a house for us in Nainatal. We shifted I completed my course through home study and wrote my final exams and passed. Then I got the news of Bhaiyya death.

Naina and Jai Scene in flashback:

Naina: J I lost everything they killed my innocent bhaiyya we have no one left. It feels all of us should die too. Seeing Naina cry helplessly Jai said: Am I no one to you, Naina. You know for me I feel you are like my big sis. That's why I call you Gudiya Didi it is not just to annoy you I truly mean it. I know you lost your Naveen Bhaiyya and no one can take his place but am not your brother too. I know how you feel I felt like I should have died too when Shreya died. You know what the worst part was I could have saved my best friend she had called me last but didn't pick up the call as I was practicing my music. I lost my friend because of my fault. That's why I wanted to stop playing my music. Bhabs supported me to get me out of my guilt and depression when she saw I was almost becoming a borderline alcoholic. I shifted my college due to her insistence. Then I met you as my mentor and it was lucky day for me, you offered me your friendship made me take up my dream again. For me you are as important as Bhabs. Please don't talk of dying you are my family too and I won't let anything happen to my big sis. You have to bring justice to Naveen Bhaiyya I will support you, Bhabhi can help us she is a well known lawyer. I even have my second brother in the army Chotte Bhai will definitely help you. Naina: You are right I won't give up I will prove my brother's innocence. I too will join the army but don't tell your brother. I don't know what he will feel about this situation I can't trust anyone from the army in this situation. It is also possible your brother might get in trouble for helping me. I want to do this alone. Jai: No Gudiya didi, I will join army too to support you I won't let you go alone. Moreover, my brothers too would be happy if they see I have chosen this as a career instead of music. we will apply to army college together. Naina: No way J music is your dream so you should follow it as your career. Jai: No, you are my sis you are more important than any dream. You and your family are part of my family I want to help you all get justice. I can't let you go alone to face any difficulty. Between my dream and getting justice for you and your family I choose the latter. Naina: J, I already lost one brother but I want my other brother to live a happy life and achieve his dreams. It is my wish and my dream for you that you fulfill your dream of becoming a great Rockstar. So please support my dream for my lil bro. Ok. As far as your brothers are concerned Anya ji can convince them. I will give a stage name right now "Zia Musafir" Z- for Zeenat your mom A- for Anya your Bhabs and Musafir – Your brother's name to butter him up. When I prove my one brother's innocence I want my other brother- to become a famous India's best Rockstar. That is all the wish I have left in my life. Ma and Baba refused to left me join the army. Anya Ji came to our home and she and J convinced them. Ma and Baba could deny them as they had supported us through thick and thin. I was constantly in touch with J through phone. He constantly asked me if I needed any help I should immediately call him or Anya Ji. When Rajveer sir was arrested they were first people I called then I got to know that J's Chotte Bhai was Sir himself. Then everything we planned together to prove innocent and safeguard his reputation I already told you what happened.

After hearing Naina's story, Raj and Musafir were feeling proud of Jai and Anya. They had helped Naina and family solely on the basis of friendship and humanity. Jai who they felt was too much of a prankster and trouble maker was serious and good natured when it mattered. Anya too helped them immensely. But Musafir was feeling disappointed his wife didn't tell him any of this at all and Raj was feeling guiltier about getting angry at his Bhabhi. The officers too understood why Naina was comfortable with Anya and J. Their Rajveer Sir's family was truly helpful and good. No wonder Rajveer sir was the same. Huda said loudly Sirji you had invited us to stay at your right I now what stay here instead of the hotel, so I can tell my sisters that I stayed at a palace for free. Alekh: I don't think your buffalos will care. Huda playfully fought with Alekh: Don't call my sisters that. Shalini: Enough officers, we will all stay Cap if you don't mind. Raj says: Of course not dr. Anya stood up: I will get the staff to go to your hotel to get your things and also set up your room. We will help you Anya Ji says Naina pulling along Jai. Dadi Ammi: You are all to welcome stay here. Badi Ammi: Of course my Ammi is right. Raj said you guys are here for only for 2 days why don't you stay for the entire week. You all can go around the city. Everyone happily agreed. Raj was very happy too that everything turned out fine. He just needed to pacify his Bhabhi and Dadi Ammi now. Suddenly, Dadi Ammi as if she read his mind said sternly: Now Rajveer we need to talk about a few things too. Come to my room before you sleep and don't make me wait. Is that clear? She ordered. Raj gulped nervously and meekly said yes Dadi Ammi. Dadi Ammi left the room in a regal manner and Raj thought: God save me.....
