Wajood

Chapter 1 : Dilbar

BC - " Congratulations,
Maj. Naveen Singh Ahluwaliya .....

Tumne yeh mission complete karke prove kiya ki ek sachche sipayi ke liye, Desh subse pehle aata he..."

He patted Naveen's back.... causing few dust particles mixing with the air and few pasted to it in reflex....

Naveen - " Yeh mera farz he sir...
And thank you sir, mujhe humesha support karne ke liye..."

He intentionally added the last line that lead to worsening the problems further....
twitching the nerves of someone's brain and Heart forcing it to think illogically....

BC - " No Major...
The complete web was weaved by you, I'm just a wooden plank who hided the web..." said proudly....

Naveen - " fir bhi sir..."

BC - " iska credit sirf tumhe nii,
balki tum dononko honhar officers ko jaata he, jisne apne sub kuch daav pe lagaya, is desh ki raksha ke liye...."

His words created a lump in Naveen's brain, which was already running anticlockwise, replaying some scenes which came to his view in the sweet morning...
boiling his hot blood....in high flame...

Cutting his words,
Naveen - " Excuse me sir....
Mujhe Col. Kundra ko report karna he.....
May I....."

BC - " It's ok Major...
Tum baadmein mujhe yeh datas submit kardena..."

Naveen left from there....
with a slight pinch of anger in eyes.... as his skin started to itch,
feeling someone's unwanted "Wajood" in his life...in his world....

BC turning towards his left,
seeing the man standing with a blank expression,
"Capt. Rajveer Singh Shekhawat, welcome back..
I'm really proud of you Captain...." extended his hand...with a warm smile...which seldomly visit his face...

Rajveer politely plastering a fake smile,
"Aapko phehle se hi yeh sub pata tha....ki Naveen zinda he toh aapne mujhe bataya kyu nahi.....
Wasn't it, my right to know the truth??...."

He asked back seating his pain which was clearly evident on his Stern face...

BC - " Capt. main samajh sakta hu ki tumpe kyaa beeti hogi...
yeh sub army ke rules aur reg..."

BC tried to hear those muted voice which always stood against hailstorms of challenges life thrown at it....
Now, feeling it to be tied with a sooty garb of lost hopes....

Cutting his words,
"Nii sir...
aap nii samajhte he...
Infact koyi kuch nii samajhta he...
Sub apne duniya mein khoye huye he..." murmuring the last line Rajveer left, with moisty eyes...

BC stood there with guilty fireflies flying around his heart, for breaking the confidence and trust of a soldier, he had for his army...

for insulting and doubting a sincere officer in front of the whole world.... whose breaths are already villed in the name of the Country..

moreover mercilessly shattering a soul by snatching away all his strengths and reasons which always welcomed him, showing a new way of fighting against evils crossed his path...

Ali - " Pooja ji, aap akeli aayi he???
Naina ji kaha he???" he looked at the door....
