Before we start let me clarify something. Naina and her friends are in the 2nd year which is their last year, while Vidya and her friends are in 1st year.

Precap: "OK than we will take your leave" I said and headed out the door, not wanting to stay there a minute longer. I could feel that Captain Rajveer was there, in that house, but not being able to meet him was killing me so went in the jeep and waited for the rest of them to come out. When they did we zoomed out of the house and headed toward KMA, with happiness in our hearts.

 Holi Special

It has been a week since the encounter with Colonel Chandra. We have gotten closer to the 1st year cadets, Vidya and her friends. In a way or another they remind me of us, of our gang. We are their 'friends' but still haven't gotten closer enough to Vidya to find out the information. Capt. Abhimayu has been trying to convince Colonel Chandra to give us permission to see Rajveer sir, but his decision seems too inflexible for us to change. 

I am currently sitting in the mess, with a cup of cold coffee in front of me, lost in my own thought. Today is Holi, therefore all the classes have been cancelled and the 2nd year cadet are allow to leave the campus. It took every single self-control I had, not to run to Capt. Rajveer this morning.  

"Oh god. Holi is a symbol of trumpet of good over evil. It is proof that good will always good. It says that truth always win. Please god if there is any truth in my love for Capt. Rajveer than please let me see him.  Please let me put color on Capt. Rajveer today. Please god please." I silently prayed in my head as a lone tear dropped my eyes.  

"Common Naina, everyone is playing Holi and enjoying themselves outside, and you are sitting here by yourself, this is not done" Pooja said running in drenched in color and the glow of happiness in her face. 

"Please Pooja. I am not in the mood" I said and waved her off, but instead of going she pulled a chair next to me and sat down.

"Naina, what is wrong with your connection. Why are you ignoring everyone's call?" She asked concern.

"I just don't want to play Holi. OK. Please leave me alone and go and enjoy alone." I say, though even a two year old would know I was lying. 

"Stop lying to me Naina. Even a two year old can tell you are lying. Plus, Rajveer sir once had mentioned that Holi is your favorite festival, so what is the problem? Why are you not plying? "She asked in a curious manner.

"I can't Pooji. I just can't. I can't bring myself to be happy. I can't be happy, when Captain Rajveer is hanging between life and death because of me, for me. I can't put colors on myself, when all the colors of Rajveer sir's life have been snatched form him, by his own father. I just... "I said as tears fell down my cheeks, making my cold cheeks go warmer. 

"Naina “Pooja said but I cut her off.

"Is it wrong Pooja, Is it wrong that I want to be with him today? Is it wrong to want to see him today? Is it wrong that I want him to be the first one to put color on me today? Why does this always happen to me Pooja? Everyone I love gets taken away from me in a way or another, first Naveen Bahaiya and, than Capt. Rajveer. Pooja do I have some curse on me which takes everyone I love away from me, or am I just so bad that everyone goes away from me." I cried hysterically. All my pain, all my fear, all my love, and all of my emotions that I had kept hidden turned to tears.  Tears fell down my cheeks like rivers running down from mountain, never ending. My voice breaking, and my throat dry. "Pooja" I started again but couldn't finish as darkness covered my eyes and all my senses disappear.                                                               ____________________________________________________________________________
