Let's keep it simple

part 27

It's the graduation day.... And she felt the most important factor missing....
She wouldn't have reached so far whithout his guidance and support....
He groomed her to become the officer she is today....

He never called neither any messages for Dr. Shalini..... At least that mean that he is safe and nothing serious has occur
But that doesn't make her worry less.

She can't rest until she sees him with her own eyes...
And God knows when is that happening.

She became the best cadet and receive their rank....
The one person who deserved to witness this was not there and this upset not only her but every cadet especially the other five

He has touched everyone's life and
They all want to stand in front of him and say that we did it... Because of you...

"Ab to tu officer hai....
Sharukh ka signal clear...."
Pooja teases her in low tone..... cornering her from others.

"Han par sharukh to khud out of range hai...
Clear signal ka achar dalun main"
She frowned back.

"Ek call nahi kar sakte the ....
Koi code ke through hi message bhijwa dete.
Badi comunication skills sikhate the humein."
She was literally pissed off....

"My my, captain has no idea what he has gotten into..."
She made fun of her best friend's misery

"Aur kya bolte....
Phone Aya kya tumhare ashiq ka"?
Alekh asked casually... Keeping his hand on her shoulder.... Making naina jump on the selection of his words

"Chup kar....."
She scolded him

"Nahi aya....na dekh chehre ke sare rang ude hue hai"
Pooja clutch her from other side

And she had no idea how to respond
Her friends are first time openly discussing their love life.

"Kya ho gaya hai tum dono ko"
She was not feeling intimidated when ud overheard the topic of conversation and joined them

"I hope sir call you ASAP.. meri shart lagi hai huda se...."
Ud added... And she rolled her eyes...

When huda checked in.

"Kya hua Bhai log... Sab aise kyun khade ho..
Kya bat hai phulan badi sad lag rahi hai... Kisi ke call ka wait hai kya "
He winked and naina felt like banging her head it was a simpler time when they use to pretend that they don't know.

"Maine to pehle hi kaha tha ke mat pad captain ke chakkar mein ...
Mujhe Han bol diya hota to aj duet ga rahe hote hum dono."

They were enjoying pulling her leg when Shalini summoned naina and she took a flight from there

"Yes mam "
She asked

"First of all congratulations
You really came a long way....
I am so proud of you Naina"
She said genuinely keeping hand on her shoulder

"Thanks mam.... That means a lot
I have really looked upon you...."
She replied with same honesty

"Now that you are not a cadet anymore....
There is something I wana tell you
Koi badi bat nahi hai....
I just feel you should know"

"What is it mam...."
She asked curious to know

"You remember those earings I gave you"

She nodded and Shalini continue

"Well... It wasn't from me to you ...
Actually captain has purchased it with the intention of giving it to you.... But as you know how ridiculously hopeless he is .... He dropped the plan
So i tricked him and took it from him to give it to you... Because that what he wanted..."
