JOURNEY WITH SAF ACADEMY

DAY -1: A NEW DAY!!

Monami was still studying. Now she was sitting in the cctv lounge room, researching her papers. But this felt more like a punishment now. She had to translate all the content into a simpler language so that everyone could understand. She had given presentations before but it is different than giving lecture. You have to simplify the chapters. She started studying at 11 pm and now it is 3 am. In an hour the trainers will wake up and at 5 am the morning call will be given, when all the cadets will have to get ready. As she had been studying for a long time she had to wear her specs. 

' mujhe fir se Med school ki yaad kyu aa rahi hai?' she spoke while yawning and clearing her eye boogers. 

MONAMI's POV: Bachpan se kayi raatein maine yun hi nikali hai. Jab sab log sote the tab mai padhti thi. Dad hospital ke kaam me busy rehte the. I used to wait for him. Tab mujhe sabse zyada books comfort karti thi. Stories aur characters jo shayad asal me ho bhi ya nahi par unse jo ummeed milti thi uski wajah se mai apni life me aage badh paayi. As an introvert, I realised ki hum apne comfort zone se zyada bahar jaakar kuch kar hi nahi sakte. Kyuki humara mind constant alert mode me rehta hai. Shayad isiliye hum apni surroundings ko zyaada absorb karte hai. Mom ke jaane ke baad, Dad hospital ko develop karne me busy ho gaye, aur tab se hamari communication gap badh gayi. Shayad isme galti meri bhi hai. Par unke saamne mera confidence pata nahi kaha chala jaata hai. Although I am thankful ki unhone mujhe kabhi kisi cheez ki kami nahi hone di but I wish ki Dad emotionally bhi utne hi open hote. Mere teacher kehte the, ' when someone shows trust in you, you start to believe them and ultimately start to trust yourself.' 

She lost track of time in all these and got back to her studies. She pulled an all-nighter. She gathered her papers and finally finished at around 4 am. So now instead of sleeping, she freshened up and went for a run on the ground. 

Sid was new in all this. He was sleeping peacefully in a long time. But maybe he didn't realise that this is just the beginning. 

Sanjana had woken up and was on her way to wake Sid. Because his training had not started, she thought that she should start early. 
' Hamaye jaane se pehle hum ek cadet ko taiyaar karna chahto hai. Kam se Kam hamayi duty se hume mooh to naa modno pade ' she thought. And somehow Sid became her last project before finally leaving the academy. She is determined to make something out of Sid. Whereas Sid still doesn't have any fixed goal. He is just making something out of his days. His coming to the academy, saying that he will train, maybe it was just in the moment. 

These conflicting goals may cause a rift in their relationship. 

She knocks on Sid's answer but no answer is heard. She knocks harder this time. Again no answer. She opens the door forcefully. Sid is still sleeping with his plushie. 

' Waah, aise soya hai jaise agar Maa Bhavani swayam bhi prakat ho jaaye to bhi gadhe bech ke sota rahego ' she said to herself. She kicked him slightly a couple of times. But he just muttered something in his sleep. 

' Ye aise na uthego ' she concluded. She picked the pitcher of water on the table beside his bed and threw the water on his face. 
' What the duck!! ' he woke up with a jerk. 

' Uth jaa, training karno hai ' Sanju said while keeping the pitcher back on its place. 

' Ahh... abhi to midnight hai na ' he said while jumping out of his bed to get a towel. 

' Achcha to tumai subah kab hoto hai ' she asked with sarcasm. 

' Toh finally tum mere baare me jaanna chahti ho ' he said smiling widely. 

' Mooh kam chalao aur haath pair zyada ' she spoke sternly.

Sid pouted at this but started getting ready. Now that he has joined the academy, he will have to start the training. But his ' WHY' was still unclear. He didn't even know Sanjana that well and training here would make no sense if he did not wish to continue in the same field. Will he be able to find his real dream with Sanjana's help?? 

Monami was still on the ground and by this time it was 4.30 am. Running helps to remove fatigue. She ran almost 3 kms and then returned to the dorm to freshen up. Karan was watching her all the while but did not make it known. He was also working out in the gym and wanted to run. But he saw her and stopped. This girl was still a mystery to him. Everyday she would somehow prove him wrong about the presumptions he has about her. But then again, the training journey is just about to begin. He doesn't know much about her. Maybe he wasn't interested. 

KARAN's POV: Ye sirf ek normal cadet hai. Thode time me training khatam karke chali jayegi. Mai iske baare me kya sochta hoo, nai, mai iske baare me sochu yaa nahi isse kya fark padta hai. Aur waise bhi, she is not different. Mai logo ki pehchaan karne me galat nahi hota. Uske life me kabhi use struggle karna hi nahi pada hoga. Aage jaise training aur difficult hogi, ye aur iska boyfriend dono yaha se bhaag jayenge. In ameer logo ka life me na koi aim hota hai na hi dusro ke life ki respect. Inhe koi fark nahi padta koi jiye ya mare. Ye sab ek jaise hi hote hai. Aur mujhe koi fark nahi padta wo mere baare me kya sochti hai. Mera kaam hai use train karna, aur mai wahi karoonga. Uske personal feelings se mera koi lene dena nahi hai. 

He walked back to his room. Soon the morning bell would ring. And a new training day would begin.
