Sitting in front of the mirror, Naina looks at herself carefully and examines herself. She is wearing a white chooridaar along with matching earrings and white beautiful bangles that complements her outfit. Her hair are left loose at her back. Smiling, shyly, Naina cascades her eyes downwards. Just the thought of going with her Rajveer sir makes her to blush. Although she does not know why she feels so special right now, she is just going to Point 1857 with him. Every time she thinks of "Point 1857", her heart skips a beat. She does not know what is so special about that place, but, just the name "Point 1857" succeeds in making her heartbeat to pick up pace.
Looking up again in the mirror, her lips curls up into a beautiful smile, she brings her right hand up and gently touches the mirror. She wants to confirm if this is true. Today, she feels as if she is the most beautiful girl in this world. Yes, she has dressed up for her Rajveer sir. It maybe is one of the conditions to go to Point 1857, but from inside, she has dressed up for him because she wants him to look at her. This new, yet a pleasurable feeling is unknown to her. She does not understand why she suddenly feels this way. What could be the reason?
Giving herself another smile, she stands up as she makes no effort to move from the mirror.
"Sir aap chahte thay na ke mein ek different outfit pehnoo, toh ye lijiye! Aa rahi hoon mein"
mumbles Naina under her breath.
Her heartbeat picks up pace as she looks towards the clock and realises it's almost 1900 hours. She knows it's time for her to go and meet him.
Smiling, giving herself a last look in the mirror, she walks out of her room. She feels extremely excited to meet him today. Even though it's not the first time she is meeting him, but today, she feels as if she is meeting her future husband for the first time. Her heartbeat picks up pace on this thought. How can she think of her Rajveer sir in such a way?
Getting shocked on her own thoughts, she bites her lower lip in nervousness and heads out the room. Right now, she feels so glad that Pooja is not here. She does not want to lie to her, but she does not know what to tell her. Even though Pooja is her best friend, yet, she is unable to share this with her. Maybe, she is unable to put her feelings into words.
Finally, she gets out of her room and heads outside KMA, to meet HIM!
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Locking his room's door, Rajveer turns around and heads towards outside KMA while a smile is playing on his lips. Dressed up in a black leather jacket along with blue jeans, he looks simple, yet absolutely handsome.
Smiling, he looks towards his watch and realises there is only 10 minutes left until 1900 hours. Although, Rajveer is disciplined and likes to be always on time, but today, he wants to be there before time.
"Dekhte hain aaj Cadet Naina ah Singh time pe aati hai ya nahi"
mumbles Rajveer, smiling and blushing.
Although he won't admit, but yes, he is impatient to see her. He knows she'll always be on time, but, right now, he wants to drag her out of her room and look at her for hours. He wants to look in her eyes and find that satisfaction that he always gets while looking deeply in her eyes. Yes, it's their favourite game, they can play this game for hours!
Realising how impatient he is feeling, he bites his lower lip. He wonders if she'll actually dress up in a different outfit or not. Yes, he lied to her. There is no such condition to visit Point 1857. After seeing her in the red saree that day, he is unable to control himself. Yes, he wants her to dress up, for HIM!
"Point 1857!"
says Rajveer under his breath, softly
Blushing, he lowers his eyes and walks towards the main gates of KMA. Just when he is walking, he suddenly collides with a figure. Immediately looking up, he finds Dr. Shalini standing in front of him, smiling, her arms crossed over her chest.
"Doc aapne toh mujhe dara hi dia"
scolds Rajveer, jokingly
With that, he decides to leave as he realises that he is getting late. But before he could step further, he gets interrupted by Dr. Shalini.
"Kyun Captain? Itni jaldi mein kahan ja rahe hain aap?"
questions Dr. Shalini with a naughty smirk on her face.
Turning towards Dr. Shalini, Rajveer crosses his arms over his chest as he shows fake anger.
"Kyun Dr. Shalini? Mein kahin ja nahi sakta kia?"
questions Rajveer, trying to be angry
As if Dr. Shalini understands his fake anger, she takes a step towards him and looks at him, sternly.
"Saaf saaf kyun nahi kehtay ke aap..."
utters Dr. Shalini
Rajveer's expressions becomes serious at this and his heart skips a beat.
"Ke mein?"
questions Rajveer getting serious
Without breaking the eye contact, Dr. Shalini takes another step towards him, angrily.
"Ke aap...ke aap kisi important kaam se bahir ja rahe hain!"
replies Dr. Shalini
And the next moment, Dr. Shalini bursts into fits of laughter. Rajveer takes a sigh of relief as he is now sure that Dr. Shalini does not know about him and Naina going to Point 1857. She almost gave him a heart attack with her joke and he won't let her go with that so easily.
"Bye Captain"
says Dr. Shalini as she wants to run away from there as soon as possible.
Saying that, she turns around to leave but stops in her tracks with Rajveer's voice.
"Abhi toh mein kisi important kaam se bahir jaa raha hoon per I'll get you soon doc!"
warns Rajveer, smirking
Turning around, Shalini puts her hands on either sides of her waist.
"Dekh lete hain Captain, pehle aap apne us IMPORTANT kaam se toh ho aiye"
replies Dr. Shalini, emphasizing on the word "important".
Rajveer's heartbeat picks up pace as Dr. Shalini utters these words. For a minute, Rajveer doubts that Dr. Shalini knows the truth. Before he could question her, she runs from there, giggling.
Smiling at her friend, Rajveer turns and makes his way towards the main gates of KMA! Finally it's time he will see HIS NAINA!
