Chapter Eleven

"Why are you on this constant redial, Naina?"

Pooja had asked her,"You know that he's not due to return until evening.

"Pooja had found her once again paused outside his door, checking to see whether the lock had been removed or not.

"I know…I just thought I'd check."She had told her, turning away disappointed.

"You know it's possible that he might return early."

"And why are you waiting so restlessly for his return call?"Pooja had teased her, and she had struggled not to blush, shaking her head at her friend.

"Don't be embarrassed,"Pooja had told her, linking their arms together as they walked off,

"You know that your Veer will always return to you."And she had known.
No matter what, he would always come back to her.
Always./

Asha was still continuing towards the main base at a determinedly steady pace, and exchanging worried glances at each other, Amiya and Hussein hurried to catch up with her.

"Asha, what are you planning on doing?" Amiya asks her,"Where are you going?"

"I want to go and find out what they're going to do to get him back." Asha tells her calmly,
"We have to get him back as soon as possible, he'll be waiting for us."

"Of course we'll do that, Asha." Hussein tries to tell her calmly, despite his own rising panic.
He knows that at the moment she's still in a state of shock, and he doesn't want to jolt her out of it, knowing what the consequences will be.

"But we might have to wait for some time, it will take them awhile to make plans. We can't just go in and ask them."

"I'll ask Captain Samir," Amiya suggests to her, "He'll know what's going on, why don't you go and uh… sit down with Hussein for awhile and drink some tea. It's been a big shock."

"I don't want to sit down and drink tea," Asha tells her stubbornly, "I want to find out what's happening and I want to find out right now.
I don't need to go and sit anywhere." By the dangerous sheen of tears that has now appeared in her eyes, Amiya guesses that she is very close to breaking point.

"Asha, maybe you don't need any tea but I think I do." Hussein tells her, still trying to keep her calm. He can't let her think that he believes anything has happened to Dhiraj, because the moment she starts thinking that something really has happened to him, he knows that she'll fall apart.

"If you sit with me while I have it then I would feel much better and Amiya can go and find out quickly for us."Asha gives him a look that says she's not stupid, but then as if there's no more resistance in her, she sighs and nods.

Hussein gently takes her hand, leading her towards the mess,and after checking that Asha really is going with him, Amiya continues in the direction of the main building, hurrying since she wants to find out as quickly as possible and then return to Asha.

Searching through the crowd of worried officers she eventually locates Samir leaning against the wall near Brigadier Kumar's office, his head down and supported by one hand.Gently she touches his arm and Samir looks up, his eyes filled with worry.

"Is there any news, Sir?" Amiya asks him. "Have they heard anything about Captain Kapoor or have they planned anything yet?"

"I don't know," Samir answers tiredly, "They're having a meeting about it right now. Hopefully we'll know something soon."

For a moment he looks torn between saying something and not saying it, but finally he decides to confide in her. "I had a bad feeling when he left, but I thought I was just being paranoid… I should've…"
