Let's keep it simple

part 19

"meet me at point 1857 at sharp 2100 hrs..."
He got her note and he wondered why she is calling him there...
Well there is only one way to find out...
He even try to reach her before that so that he can say no for obvious reasons
But she was no where to be found..

So at the end of the day
If she says something then he has to do it
He went all the way hiking to point 1857 remembering last time when they were here.

But then he remembered their last week interaction in their room about lala gehlot and his heart sank...

Thinking about all the stuff and more he finally reached there
He made a quick scan to look for her and saw a figure kneeling down in front of the wishing pillar.

He can't help but remember the last time they were here beside the wishing pillar.
Her white dress was divine
And the twinkle in those eyes
Or that jhumka and bangles....
Everything added up to make her look like goddes

He walked to her and she sensed his presence and turned with a smile.

"Mujhe laga ap nahi ayenge"
She said winding up her prayers

"Aur mujhe nahi laga tha ke tum dobara kabhi yaha aogi ..
It's not your kind of place"
He said as he walked around taking a good look of the place...
He always liked it here

"What do you mean by that "
She asked cutely offended

And he turned to her question

"Nahi wo tum romantic type nahi ho na
You are tough"
He said casually

"And what makes you think that "?
She pouted

"Huda ki halat dekhi hai Maine"
He said with a mocking smile.

"I can be soft with the right person"
She argued
Making his heart jump but he obviously covered it well

"Tumne mujhe yaha kyun bulaya hai Naina .."
He asked with a soft expression

"Apko kuch dikhane ke liye"
She said looking straight up towards the sky

"Kya "

"Aj taro ki barish hone wali hai"
She said as she extend her hand towards him asking for help to get up

He reach out for her hand
And kept it in his hand for more than necessary
She didn't mind it.

"What are you talking Naina
And why are you here"?

"Apne jab se mujhe ye jagah dikhai hai main yaha kabhi kabhi ati hun...
To spend some me time...
Sitting here is like meditation
It helps me clear my head and organise my thoughts.
Waha chal ke baithen "?

She leads him to the bench they had sat last time.

"Again Naina
Why am I here "?
He asked

"There is gonna be a meteor shower today .
I wana see it...."
She said with sparkling eyes.

"Mujhe nahi pata tha ke tumhe taro mein interest hai...."
He said checking out the sky

"Apko mere bare mein bohot kuch nahi pata"
She said looking at sky herself as he turned his head towards her .

Her face lit up in moonlight

"To batao "
He asked looking with deep intense eyes.

Away from kma , it felt different with him
They both seemed to have taken the batch of captain and cadet out for time being
And they are just being rajveer and naina

"It fascinates me what's out there
Beyond the sky...."
She said with lost look towards the sky

"And what else"
He asked looking mesmerized with her aura

"I am a huge fan of time travel, and parallel universe
I really believe that in some alternate reality bhaiyya is still there and things are different in that world."

"Do you believe in these stuff"
She asked

The tone has gotten light
The air feels soft ..
It's peacefully quite.

"I just hope that in some alternate reality I don't make fool of myself"
He said with an upset face and she knew where he is going with this.

"Mujhe laga tha that you will get mad at me again
But you never said anything
Why are you not angry"?
He asked unable to avoid the topic anymore

"I am not an idiot anymore...
I understand now.... Not just what's on the surface
But whats beneath the layers too."

"I know he was a father figure to you... What you did was a natural reflex...
Who else can understand better than me the pain of our loved ones getting accused."

"The only difference is that
He is actually guilty"
He said looking away from her

And to his utter surprise
She slided her fingers between his weaving their hands
He felt soft current running through his veins

"Don't do this to yourself
Stop self blaming.... Stop holding yourself responsible for everything that went wrong around you"
She pressed his hand and he didn't twitch
He accepted her comfort.... It's much needed

"I am trying....
It's a relief that we are still on same side"
He gave a sad smile...
And naina understood that he is referring to those not so good days of fighting and miscommunication

"We will always be on same side
Rajveer"
She saw the emotions surfacing on his face

He saw her with amazement
His name sound different from her mouth.

He leaned a bit and he is sure that she leaned a bit too
She could have easily reached to him and he would have welcome her
She could have had that few moments of bliss
The sexual tension was racing high

But now is not the time
They can mess up everything with just one wrong move.

She gathered herself together and he checked himself too...
Both getting straighten up and trying to dilute the concentrated feelings.

"You have grown as a person Naina...
You have become wise...
I am proud of you"
He said with platonic intension

And she smiled with all her soul...

"That means a lot... When it comes from you"
She let go his hand reluctantly

When Rajveer kept his hand on her shoulder asking her to look up

The meteor shower had begun

They both sat there beneath the sky full of stars... Their arms brushing

"Thanks for calling me here tonight
It's amazing"
He said in a whispering tone
