Alekh made him lay down back after he used his bedpan.....
"There are nurses for this... You don't have to do it Alekh.... It's really embarrassing "
Rajveer snorted as he felt a pang of pain on his shoulder while going on his back
And alekh adjusted the pillow under his head
"We have been through worst scenario sir...
Remember one time when you almost made us pretend to be a gay couples......"
Rajveer almost was about to laugh with full heart
But his injuries didn't allowed him
"I am taking this secret with me in grave"
Alekh was laughing too....
Alekh and Rajveer's kinship had been strengthen..... After the graduation.... While they worked together....
The mutual trust and respect they shared ... Was something uncommon....
Alekh started considering him a brother figure....
"So help me catch up on last few months....
While I was being a sleeping beauty "
Rajveer was in coma for 8 months...
"Ali and Pooja are engaged
And huda is dating a minister's daughter....who is also a cadet in kma.....
Ud proposed Dr. Shalini"
"What, are you serious "?
Rajveer was about to pop up
"Mam ne Han ni bola , par na bhi nahi bola"
Alekh completed
Rajveer was happy and amused
"What about you.....
You are still posted here in Delhi "
"Yes sir.....
I requested for it.... Didn't wanted to leave you alone"
He was clearly overwhelmed which made rajveer emotional too....
They discussed everyone except one person....
While rajveer was figuring out how to frame the question, Alekh spoke
"Naina Chandigarh mein posted hai ...
Par almost har weekend updown kar leti hai."
"Up Down kyun
He asked..... Worried assuming that she has moved on too"
"Kyun kya....
Apke liye"
Alekh stated the obvious and rajveer was flabbergasted.
"What are you saying......
You do know how things are between us....."
"Things change sir....
People change.....
She is not that naina anymore...."
--------------
His heart was racing against the time.....
Alekh had informed him that naina is going to visit him on Saturday.....
And even after learning everything about how Naina is not mad at him anymore and prayed for his health all these month..
There is still some tiny fear of Naina's rage and hatred.....
He can't be sure untill he witness it himself
And while he was preparing himself to meet her remembering their last moment together
Where before parting both had just gave eachother a long painful look
He heard someone announcing on door and he turned to see her standing there .....
And after all this time he still felt goosebumps all over his skin...
He remembered how much he loved her and ached for her ...
While she was feeling a whole different emotion....
She was in heavy burden of regret and guilt
The man who made her what she is ..... He always had so much effect on her .....
The thought of a life where he is not there was so terrifying
And now when she see him alive looking back at her .... She took a long sigh of relief
She was radiating smile at him
Something which he had forgotten......
He can't remember last time when she smiled at him.....
All he remembers was eyes full of heat and anger .....
He smiled back at her reciting a Sher of ghalib in his head
Unke dekhe se , jo ajati hai
Mun par , raunak.....
Wo samajhte hain ke
Beemar ka haal
Achcha hai
