Aagyat :The Unknown

Chapter 6

Rajveer and Naina came back to their suite completely drenched.. Happy and smiling…. Naina felt that she couldn’t be  happier.. Rajveer on the other hand felt elated watching naina happy… carefree… he always had dreamed to see naina like this.. in her original form.. Naina….the chirpy bubbly girl whom Naveen spoke about…

Circumstances made her grow before maturity.. age when normal girls dream about boy friends, read love stories, enjoy shopping and movies, think of building a dream career……she instead dreamt of proving her brother innocent… read Army Code of Conducts…she had spent time in KMA library thinking about the red box and searching clue that would carry her a step closer to her mission. She even had sacrificed her own career! How much can one love another! She is a living example.. and this side of her attracted him more towards her… he couldnt stop his buddibg feelings…. And now when she is finally in his life, he feels lucky himself…. Well he is lucky.

Well now when she is in his life, he will fight till the last breath to preserve the smile that her lips wear.. she doesn’t need any extra ornament to look good. she looks ethereal in her happy carefree chirpy mood.

Mai waada karta hoon Naina tumhari yeh muskuratat ke upar mai kabhi koi aanch nahi aane dunga..he promised to himself..

Aaaa.aaaaa.aaaaa aaaaachhuuuuu……. His chain of thoughts broke with the loud sound of a sneeze..

Naina…. Kya hua…… jaldi change karlo…. Sardi zukham ho jayega….. and before he could complete…. Aaachuuuuuu…… achhhhhuuuuuu……achuuuuuuu….three consecutive sneezes….

Naina….. her nose tip red by now…. Eyes watery…… she looked even more cute… and rajveer could help but smile looking at her….

Sir aap has rahe ho?? Yaha meri haalat kharab ho raha hai and you……aaaachhhhuuuuu…. She sneezed again…

Hasu nahi toh aur kya karoon?? Bohat Romance chadha tha na… barish me bhig ke ab dekho kya haal?? Jaao jaldi change karlo.. he suggested looking at her puppy face now.

Agar abhi bimar padh gayi toh kal hum Dowhill kaise jayenge??.......he bit his lips as soon as the words escape his mouth…. He had committed a blunder… the surprise is no more…. He himself has uttered the name.

Naina by this time was looking towards him with her big round eyes…… Raj……hum downhill jaane wale hai?? You mean that Dowhill jisse one of the most hunted places ka karar dia gaya?? She couldn’t believe herself…

Rajveer understood that he has no other way to escape now…  else his curious cat will kill him asking questions…. Ha naina… mai usi downhill k bare mein baat kar raha hoon…. Aur hum kal wahipaar jaane wale hai…..

And before he could understand anything he found himself in Nainas embrace….thank you soo much Raaj.. apne mera do sapna ek saath pura kardia… she said..

Rajveer hugged her back….. aab thanks baad mein dena.. pehle jaake change karlo.. agar bimar par gaye tab to gaya Dowhill plan…

Ha…. Theek hai…she separated herself… she was about to leave for the washroom when she turned suddenly..aap bhi to gile hai.. aap bhi change kijiye…

Naina jitna mujhe pata hai humare suit me washroom ek hi hai…. Agar tum chahti ho hum dono eksaath change kare toh I have no problem…..he winked…

Aap na… bade badtameez ho… sharam haya kuch hai ki nahi?? She ran to the washroom..

*******-----*******--------********----------

Next day at about 10.30 am…

Naina utho.. sare dus bajh raha hai..

Sone dijiye na mujhe….she said sleepy…

Utho… downhill nahi jaana hai kya?? We are already late….

And she got up listening dowhill….. just like a spring.. pehle batana chahye than na… kitna late ho gaye hum log….she scolded Rajveer..

Loh… ab chor ulta kotwal ko daante! Rajveer Exclaimed…Mai peechle 30 minutes se tumhe jagane ki koshish kar Raha hoon... He rolled his eyes..

Yeh do bhai behen kumbhakaran ka rishte dar lagtha hai Syed..he thought

Ha.. aap packing karo.. mai 10 min mein tayaar hoke aati hoon.. phir aap 5 mins me tayaar ho jaana.she ran again keeping a mouth opened startled Rajveer on the bed..

It was 30 minutes later when the couple was seen standing on the cab stand for hiring a cab…. Luggage of course….Rajveer was the coolie again!

Bhaiyya Dowhill jaana hai.. yeh address…. Chalenge??
Came Rajveer's voice

Looking at the address the driver gasped…. Ei address… baapre… eikhane kano jaaben?? He looked shocked.

Ha Dada… downhill jana haina? Aamra honeymoon ey downhill jaa rahe hai…. Naina said putting all her gathered knowledge over the language..

Maaf kijiye bon.. ami nahi jayega……the driver returned the address token..

Dekhiye Raaj..naam se hi saab daarte hain….she said … hum kaise jayenge?? She pouted

Rajveer was surprised with the behavior of the driver… haa naina.. lagtha hai yaha k logo k maan mein kafi khauf hai.. chalo kisi aur se poochte hai.. he went ahead to try his luck…. But to his dismay he failed in all of his trials till he found the Yellow Scorpio…

Haa.. sahab chalenge downhill.. lekin iss address tak nahi.. 2 km pehle downhill town k saamne utar denge aap logo ko… uske baad aap apna dekh lijiye ga….aur haa mujhe keemat bhi zyada chahye…he said bluntly..

Haa haa… denge na… aap chaliye dada….Rajveer said as he found finally a way out… putting the luggage on the carrier and covering them with plastic sheath the driver settled inside..

Bhaiyya plastic se cover karna zaroori hai?? Asked naina..

Jee madam.. barish ka koi bharosa nahi….the driver kept the answer short..

Bhaiyya aapka naam kya hai? Asked Rajveer trying to initiate a conversation with him

Lakpa Sherpa….again just the required words…. His behavior made it clear that he wont disclose anything more than required..

It was about 11.45 when they finally started from siliguri towards Dowhill…..

Dugga Dugga…naina said…joining her palms and taking them towards her forehead..

Kya kar rahi ho naina?? Rajveer asked surprisingly..

Raj… yahapar sab aise karte hai kahin rawana hone se pehle…maine TV par dekha hain.. she smiled earning a million dollar smile from Her Rajveer Sir…..now Raj..

But none of them except the driver noticed the farthest corner of the sky turning dark again…. And that made Lakpa crease his brows… he looked at his wrist watch… Malayi 4 baaje pahile aauna avshyak chha.. he thought.. (I need to return before 4)…

As the car moved ahead….it seemed the mass of cloud followed….
