It has been 5 days. Today is the day of Naina and Payal's flight. In Canada, it is 9am right now, and Naveen and Shalini are getting ready to drop Naina and Payal to the airport. After getting ready, they finally leave for the airport.


In Naveen's car-


Naveen is driving and Naina is sitting beside him at the front, while Shalini is just sitting with Payal at the back, hugging her!


Shalini to Payal "kya meri princess apni mami ko miss karegi!

Payal in her innocent and sweet style-  "agar Payal ne mami ko miss na kya toh phir kia kiya?

"Or mamo ko?, asks Naveen!

Little Payal smiles and replies, "Payal apnay dono, mami and Mamo ko bohut miss karegi!

Payal leans in towards Shalini's ear and whispers, "aap ko pata hai, Payal ne mama ko bohut kaha ke payal ko yahan rehna hai lekin mama nahi mani, she looks towards Naina and then continues whispering, "aapko pata hai mama kal raat ko bohut ro rahi thi..

Before payal could reveal further, Naina interrupts her, "Payal!! Ye aap mami se kya baatein kar rahi ho beta? Mama ne kal aapko kaha tha na ke mama ro nahi rahi thi, wo toh mama ki ankh mein kuch chala gayya tha.

Shalini Interrupts Naina, "Naina, tum 2 saal ki bachi ko budhu bana sakti ho, lekin mujhe nahi! Ab batao kal raat ko kya hua tha? Tum kyun ro rahi thi?

"Bhabhi ...wo..., stammers Naina

"Naina jhoot mut bolna, warns Naveen

Naina takes a deep breath and starts telling about the reason she cried last night. "wo bhaiya kal raat..



Flashback


Naina has been busy packing for her flight tomorrow when her phone rings. She goes to pick up her phone.

"Hello!, says Naina

"Naina!!

Just hearing that voice makes Naina cry. She sobs in tears.

"Aalekh tu?, that was the only thing she could say. Yes, it was Aalekh on the other side of the phone.

Aalekh "Naina apun ne tujhe bohut miss kiya!

Naina "Mein janti hun Aalekh! Meine bhi tujhe or baki sab ko bohut miss kiya!

Aalekh "Naina, apun ke phone karne ke peechay ek maksad hai!

Naina "kya baat hai Aalekh? Saaf saaf bata!

Aalekh "Naina apun ko pata chala ke tujhe NDA mein posting milli hai. Naina please apna dekhan rakhna!

Naina confused "kya hua Aalekh? Tu aise kyun baat kar raha hai?

"Naina wo...Rajveer sir..., that was the only thing he could say. Somehow, the phone got disconnected. Naina kept yelling hello, but there was no answer on the other side of the phone. Naina tried to call back on that number, but, strangely, no one seemed to pick up.

Just the name, "Rajveer made her whole body shiver. Tears started flowing through her eyes. What was Aalekh about to tell Naina about Rajveer? Why was the call disconnected right away? Naina felt something was fishy. She felt that the call was disconnected on purpose. But the only thing she didn't know was, what was Aalekh about to tell her?

Flashback ends


Present-

As Naina finishes telling about last night, she is now completely in tears.  Putting a hand on her shoulder from the back seat, Shalini says, "Naina tumhe agar Major Rajveer ke naam se hi itni takleef ho rahi hai toh agar wo tumhare samne...

Naina interrupts as she wipes her tears, "Nahi Bhabhi, mujhe us insaan ke naam se koi farak nahi padta. Mujhe takleef is baat se ho rahi thi ke Aalekh mujhse us insaan ke baray mein kuch kehna chahta tha, lekin keh nahi paya. Mein us insaan ko bhool jana chahti hoon.

"Bhool jana chahti ho?, asks Shalini, "tum aise kaise bhool sakti ho Rajveer ko Naina? Jis ki nishaani, Payal hai!

"Shalini, please!, Naveen interferes, "Shalini tum Payal ke samne aisi baatein na karo, bachi hai wo kya asar parega us pe.

"Bhabhi, says Naina as she continues, "Bhaibhi Payal meri jaan hai, mein is ke bagair zinda nahi reh sakti. Agar Rajveer ko pata chal gayya ke Payal us ki beti hai..., she doesn't dare to complete this sentence.

"To wo Payal ko tum se alag karne ki koshish karega, haina?, Shalini completes the sentence.

"Nahi Naina, Shalini continues, "Naina kisi bhi keemat par Rajveer ko pata nahi chalna chahiye Payal ke baray mein.

Payal, who is just busy playing with her toy, doesn't know what they are talking about. She just sits at the back with Shalini and plays with her toy car.

By now, they have reached the airport.

After hugging Naveen and Shalini, Naina and Payal proceeds towards the entrance of the airport. It is now time that they leave for India.


At the same time in India, In Rajveer's cabin-


It is 9:30pm in India. Rajveer is busy talking to someone over the phone.

Rajveer over the phone "Kal Aalekh Naina ko batate batate reh gayya, aagay dayan rakhna ke aisi ghalti na ho. Kisi bhi tarah Aalekh ki Naina se baat nahi honi chahiye. Naina ko pata nahi lagna chahiye ke wo kis ke under kaam karegi NDA mein.

"okay, bye!, Rajveer disconnects the call.


Next morning in NDA-


In Brigadier General Gaur's cabin-


He is seen talking to Captain Rathod.

BG Gaur "Capt Rathod, pata chala?

Capt Rathod "Yes sir, Capt Aaluwalia aaj sham ki flight se India aa rahi hain. Wo chahti hain ke wo faculty quarters mein nahi bhalke apnay flat mein rehna chahti hain, jo ke paas hi hai.

BG Gaur "is ki koi khas wajah?

Capt Rathod "I don't know sir, koi wajah nahi batai Capt Aaluwalia ne. Lekin sir ek baat mujhe samajh mein nahi aayi. Jis mission ke liye Capt Aaluwalia ko NDA mein bulaya ja raha hai, us mein main or  Capt Aaluwalia kaam kar rahe hain, lekin jis senior office ko hum assist kar rahe hain , wo hai kon?

BG Gaur "us officer ka naam hai, Major Rajveer Singh Shekhawat!

Capt Rathod shocked "lekin sir wo toh Capt Aaluwalia ke ex-husband hain, to kia unhe koi problem nahi hogi?

BG Gaur "I hope not Capt. Jahan tak mein Major Shekhawat ko janta hoon, wo bohut hi professional hain, wo apni professional and personal life ko mix nahi karege. Lekin mujhe khud ek baat samajh nahi aayi.

Capt Rathod "kon si baat, sir?

BG Gaur "yehi ke Major Shekhawat ko is baat ka pata hai ke Capt Aaluwalia ko is mission ke liye chuna gayya hai, phir bhi unhoon ne khud mujhe phone karke ye kaha hai ke wo bhi is mission pe kam karna chahtay hain.

Capt Rathod "Pata nahi sir kya khichidi pak rahi hai.

BG Gaur "anyways, Capt! You may leave now!

Capt Rathod gets up and salutes him "good day, sir, ", and he leaves from BG Gaur's cabin.



Evening-

Someone arrives in BG Gaur's cabin.


Person salutes BG Gaur- "Major Rajveer Singh Shekhawat reporting, sir!

BG Gaur smiles- "at ease, major! Please sit!

Rajveer sits "thank you, sir!

BG Gaur kahiye Major, mein aapki kia madad kar sakta hoon?

Rajveer "sir, mein ye janna chahta hoon ke jo officers mujhe is mission mein assist kar rahe hain, mein unh se kab mil sakta hoon?

BG Gaur "Capt Rathod to NDA mein hi hain, aap chahe toh unh se kisi bhi time mil sakte hain, or rahi baat Capt Aaluwalia ki toh, aapki wife..

Rajveer interrupts, "Ex-wife, sir!

BG Gaur "sorry, Major! I mean Capt Aaluwalia ki flight India land ho chuki hai, wo 2 ghantay mein NDA poonch rahi hain, aap unh se tab mil sakte hain!

"khel toh ab shuru hua hai, thinks Rajveer with a smirk. Then to BG Gaur, "thank you, sir! I'll take your leave!. Rajveer gets up and leaves from BG Gaur's cabin.


After two hours

Naina has finally arrived in NDA. She has left payal at her flat which is near NDA. Payal is currently with pooja in the flat. Naina has told Pooja everything and pooja agreed to stay with Payal, when Naina is on duty.


Hallway of NDA


Naina is walking when she is stopped by an Orderly.

Orderly "aap Capt Naina Singh Aaluwalia hai na?

Naina "jee haan!

Orderly "ma'am, aapko sir ne abhi apne cabin mein bulaya hai.

Naina thinks BG Gaur has called her. "Kahan has cabin unh ka?, asks Naina.

Orderly "yahan se seedhay ja ke left, phir pehla office hi unh ka hai!

"thanks You!, says Naina as she walks in that direction.

After 5 minutes, she has finally reached the office. Without reading the name plate, she knocks on the door.

"Come in!, says the person from inside.

Her heart skips a beat when she hears that voice. "Mera vehan hai, wo yahan nahi ho saktay, Naina thinks. Opening the door, she goes inside the office. She sees someone sitting on the chair, but she is not able to see that person's face because that person's back is towards her.

While reaching in front of his desk, Naina says, "Capt Naina Singh Aaluwalia reporting, sir!

The person finally turns his face towards her and...
