Rajveer-Naina - The Mystery Begins!

Chapter 13

As she searches for Captain Rajveer's room in the academy after lights out, she could feel the thumping of her heartbeats. She stops and asks herself,

"Tu darr kyu rahi hai Naina? Agar kisine kuch pucha to keh dungi ki Captain Shekhawat ne bulaya tha!",

she answers her own doubts.
Standing outside his room, she was about to knock, that Rajveer opens the door all of a sudden, dressed in a white top and blue jeans.

"Yes Cadet!",

he asks, amazed to see Naina at 20:00 hours, standing outside his room.

"Ahmmm... Sir apne bulaya tha, kuch kaam tha?",

she reminds him. Addressing him politely, for the first time, in the presence of no one around, makes Naina to feel something which she hasn't felt ever before.

Accepting the fact silently, that the way Rajveer always looks at her, makes her feel uncomfortable, Naina shifts her vision from Rajveer to the ground. She waits for Rajveer to say something.

On the other hand a smile plays on Rajveer's lips, seeing her getting more vulnerable as the time passes by. Rajveer stands, resting his left shoulder by the left side of his room's door, folding his hand and stares at her for sometime, with a slight smile on his lips.

(Rajveer- Naina's tune plays in the background)

"Aur aap aa gayin?",

he asks, astonished.

She creases her brows, thinking why wouldn't she come?

Smiling, he invites her in,

"come in!"

and gives way to her to get into the room.

Walking into his room, Naina notices the interior of the room. A room which belongs solely to Captain Rajveer Singh Shekhawat. It has everything - a bed at the center, giant enough for two. To the right is a small bar - having all the beverages ranging from water to coffee to hard drinks. But as about him, he doesn't consume alcohol much, owing to the fact that he is a soldier that too a Captain, he needs to remain alert and in his senses.

As Naina moves forth, amazed to see how tidy he keeps his room, Rajveer stands behind her, but fully aware and noticing her each reaction. When her eyes fall on the bar, she starts gazing at it. As Rajveer finds her gazing, he explains,

"yeh guests ke liye hai. I don't drink much, just occasionally".

As soon as he explains, he creases his brows, feeling weird because of his reaction

'Main isse ye baat kyu bata raha hoon? Mujhe kabhi koi farak nahi padha ki log mere barey mein kya sochte hain! To aaj kyu mujhey aisa laga ki mujhe isse batana chahiye that I don't drink much?',
