Let's keep it simple

part 3

Aisi to meri taqdeer na thi
Tumsa jo koi mehboob mile
Dil aj Khushi se pagal hai
Aye Jane Wafa tum khub mile

Suriji is playing radio in mess kitchen and she can hear few lints now and then
She has suddenly developed liking for old songs ....
They really touch the chords

She is lost again thinking about him
It's her favourite pastime nowdays
It's soothing just to think about him
His face is so bright
And that smile is a real gem

Naina. Sun na yaar. Chhota sa kam he.'' Huda approaches Naina who tries to dodge him.

"Not interested." She nonchalantly replies.

"Naina. Please na. Just for the last time for our friendship' sake." Yudi who has come from behind asks her.

"Yudi. Tu bhi. How can you people ask me to do this? I'll not do this." She denies.

"Naina. Yar. Its not a big deal. Rajveer sir will sign. Wo poochenge bhi nahi.''

"Stop it huda. Main unse jhooth nahi bol sakti."

"Accha. Bol to aise rahi he jaise aaj tak tune sir se jhooth bola hi nahi ho. Aur wo morse codes ke notes jo qaidi ke liye maange the unka kya?"

She sheepishly smiles.

"Wo....wo..Mera man tha un notes ko padhne ka. Tujhe unse kya"

"Mujhe un notes se koi issue nahi he. Bus tu is permission letter par rajveer sir se sign karwa de. Please yar. Man ja na."

"Huda. Tu zid mat kar. Main aise kaise rajveer sir se permission letter par sign karwa sakti hu jab main bahar hi nahi ja rahi. What if he asks me about it?"

"Yaar. Wo poochenge bhi nahi. Tu bas smile kar diyo. Wo kahi bhi sign kar denge. Ye to sirf permission letter he. Tu bhaaw kyu kha rahi he?" Huda exclaims.

"Kya bakwas kar raha he tu?" She tries to dismiss them but fails. Her cheek turning pink at Huda' so obvious allegations and Huda' smirk grows seeing her blush.

"Why you people are forcing me!" She cries.

"Naina. Its not a big deal. Why are you making it one? We all known that Sir wont even ask you question and sign it. Hamari dosti ke liye please....Get this permission letter signed." Yudi pleads one more time.

She sighs. She takes permission letter from Yudi. Huda gives a winning smile.

"A huge thanks Naina. If in future aapko kahi jana ho aur permission ki jarurat pade...We'll help you."

"Yudiye! Pagal he! Rajveer sir ko bhi permission ki jarurat padegi kya? Kya bakwas karta he tu bhi."

Yudi is looking at huda with questioning eyes who drags him away. Naina is left flabbergasted. She looks at the permission letter in her hand. Wondering if Huda was right..if Rajveer sir will sign this letter..because its her or....If he doesnt will he believe her lies?

She goes to his room and enters. Rajveer sir is reading some files. She takea a deep breath and goes to him.

"Sir...ye ...wo aapke sign chahiye the." She hands him the letter. For a second when their eyes meet she is scared if he would do it or not. Instead he passes her a smile and takes the letter.

'Naina. Tum to bahar bhi nahi ja rahi ho. Phir ye permission letter kiske liye?" He asks while signing the letter. His sudden question takes her by surprise.

''Wo...wo sir...Huda bol raha tha ki aap sign kar doge kyunki maine bola he. Isliye he forced me to ask you for permission!" She stammers and ends up blabbering truth out.
