Major Nayyer turns to find Captain Rajveer standing calmly on the stair, putting his hands into his jeans' pocket.

"Captain Shekhawat apko nahi lagta ki mere students, meri class attend karenge ya nahi ye baat unhe personally akar mujhse kehni chahiye?"

"Bilkul Major Nayyer, par agar ek Cadet ki tabiyat theek na ho, to I don't think ki ussey respective subject teacher ka wait karna chahiye, ya uska wait karna zaruri hai, ye batane ke liye ki unki tabiyat theek nahi hai. Instead, unhe itni freedom di jani chahiye ki wo kisi bhi teacher ko inform kar de aur jakar rest karey, nahi Major Nayyer?",

Captain Rajveer gives an infectious smile. Major Nayyer turns to face the cadets and begins with the class.

Rajveer walks to Naina's room while all other first year Cadets were busy with their respective classes. Knocking the door of her room, he asks for permission to get inside,

"May I come in Cadet Singh"?

Naina silently opens the door, seeing her okay, Rajveer silently breaths a sigh of relief.

(Slow Rajveer-Naina tune starts as he looks at her)

Getting into her room, Rajveer closes the door behind him.

"Kya baat hai Cadet Singh, aap ki tabiyat theek nahi hai kya?",

he asks, feeling concerned.

"Nahi Sir, main theek hun",

replies Naina, staring at the floor.

"Naina agar hum kisi ko such bata dein to kayi baar dil halka ho jata hai. Haan zaruri ye hai ki jisse hum such batayein unn par humein pura vishwas ho. Ab kuch bhi aagey bolne ya puchne se pehle, main tumse ye puchna chahta hun ki kya tumhe mujh par bharosa, mujh par vishwas hai?"

Naina slowly raises her vision and looks into his eyes.

(Slow Rajveer-Naina tune starts again).

They keep staring into each others eyes. Then turning around, Naina says,

"Mujhe nahi pata, mujhe aap par bharosa karna chahiye ya nahi!"

Her words hurt him, he turns his left hand into a fist, creasing his brows he keeps staring at Naina whose back is turned in front of him.

"Theek hai Naina, main tumhe force nahi karunga ki tum mujh par bharosa karo"

(fast Rajveer-Naina tune starts)

His voice justifies clearly that Naina's thinking has hurt him. Giving her a last look, who is still maintaining her same posture, Rajveer leaves the room. As he leaves he closes the door too hard, behind him, creating noise. This makes Naina to shiver.

Creasing her brows she says,

"main apko hurt nahi karna chahti thi Sir, I am sorry!"
