Finally the super six encircled Rajveer and started bombarding him with their questions.

Pooja: kya entry mari hai mere Shahrukh ne. Sabka connection hi hila ke rakh dia.

Ali: Sir humko to vishwas hi nai ho rha hai ki aap humare samne hai.

Huda: are mummyji ki kasam sir , aap to bade chupe rustom nikle. Kidhar gayab ho Gaye the.

U.D: dude what's this "chupa rustom "? Anyways welcome back sir.

Rajveer: thanks UD. Kaise ho tum sab?

Alekh: Apun log to mast hai sir. Par aap aise kaise gul ho sakte ho. Apan sab ka kya halat tha aapko fikar nai tha kya?

He added, looking meaningfully at Rajveer and Naina.

Rajveer also looks at Naina with pained eyes and said " I can't guys. You don't know how much I want to but".

Naina nodded slightly to make him him know that she understands and Rajveer continues with better mood "some missions are covert, where we are not allowed to divulge the details. Anyways you guys will be joining the army soon. I am sure you will realise it soon". He completed with a smile.

Naina: Congratulations sir! You are now Major!

Rajveer smiled as his Naina can't miss any detail.

Rajveer: Thank you Cadet. Singh.

Rajveer then spotted that Naina is not wearing the locket and he beacame a little sad that she didn't liked it or she doesn't care for it maybe.

Meanwhile Capt. Abhimanyu reached towards him.

Capt. Abhimanyu: Raj, Hume sach me bilkul yakeen nai ho rha hai ki aap aj fir se humare sath hai.

Rajveer smiled at him and gave an one armed hug to him.

Rajveer: Chauhan sahab! Kaise hai aap? Academy ke VP ke role me zindagi kaise chal rahi hai?

Capt. Abhimanyu: Bas hum thik hi hai. Academy me cadets ke sath kam karne ka bhi ek alag hi maza hai. Yahan hume apna moral conflict nahi face karna padta hai. Violence or peace me se kisi ek ko nahi chunna hota hai. I think I like it.
Vaise bahut bahut badhai aapko Major banne ki Raj! Chaliye ab hum fir milte hai. We need to catch up Raj. But for now let me meet Naina's parents.

Capt. Abhimanyu turned to go towards Naina's parents but they are already there to meet Rajveer.

Naina's M: Major banne ki bahut bahut badhai ho aapko.( she is actually smiling from her heart today after so many days)

Rajveer: Mam,  Thanks a lot. Vaise mere is promotion ke piche bahut logo ki mehnat hai.
( with it he proudly looked at all of his cadets and specially Naina)

Naina's F: yes yes very sure. But congratulations Major. Anyways we wanted to thank you too. Tumne bahut mehnat ki hai Naveen ke lie aur actually Naina ke lie bhi.

Rajveer looked at Naina on this and then replied , " Uncle Naveen mera sirf dost nai tha, vo mera bhai tha".

Naina: Maa Baba, chaliye aap log lunch to Kar lijiye fir aap jane ki jaldi karne lagenge.

Everyone left for the lunch with Naina's parents.

Rajveer understood that Naina's parents need answers for the things B.C said about Naveen choosing his own death and he don't want to face them today. It's a happy day for them also after a long time and he wanted any such discussion not to happen today.

So he excused himself to meet Suriji while they all had lunch. Naina's eyes followed him and she knew that why he is avoiding having lunch with them.

Naina and Rajveer are behaving like their old student teacher mode. She is not able to adjust to the feeling that she is now so much special to him than a protégée.
