Suriji after drinking two cups of coffee is back to his normal self. Reaching a pair he says in his own style, "O ji puttar kya baat hai! Very handsome!" Then walking ahead he says to another pair "O ji kamaal ho gaya ji very good!Very good!" Suddenly he meets Alekh on his way and says opening his arms for him, "Oh Cadet! Good Evening! Badey smart lag rahe ho. Waah ji waah, very good" "Kya acha lag raha hai, saans lene mein bhi tension ho rahi hai!" "Oye, Alekh ye tu hai? Arey waah kya lag raha hai tu!"appreciates Suriji."Oye Alekh tu itna handsome kabse ho gaya bhai?" "Kya Suriji subah se main hi mila kya? Kaye k liye kheech rahe ho?" "O yaar main kyu kheechunga? Aur wo bhi aaj ke din?"then in a nervous tone Suriji continues,"Actually, darasal khichi to apni hui hai yaar!""To aap bhi ek..."saying this Alekh indicates with his eyes. " Ek kya...?"Suriji unable to understand what he means, copies his indication."Aapko kya tension hai Suriji? Samjho na!" saying this Alekh indicates with his thumb that he is talking about having drinks."Ohhhooo...! Dekh tu meri chad, bottle de...main na khud piyunga, na tujhe ander le jaane dunga, chal de...""Sir samjhona, badey logon k samne, ek liye bina apun khada nahi reh payega. Le jaane do na" "Dekh putarr..." Suriji starts to explain further, that someone interrupts him, standing behind Alekh, away from him.

"Rehne dijiye Suriji. Ye yeda kuch samjhta thodi na hai. Jo dil mein aata hai, bina sochey-samjhey kar deta hai". Recognizing the voice, Alekh turns and finds Neelu standing there, dressed in a red one-piece, her arms crossed, staring intently at Alekh."Kya yaar ye nautanki bhi yahan ayi hai kya?" says Alekh to himself."Oh hello kya bola?""Suriji apun ko zara garmi lag rahi hai, wo kya hai na aadat nahi hai apun ko aise kapde pehne ki" "Haan garmi to lagegi, jab main yahan khadi hun!""Kyun tu apne saath heater layi hai kya?""O hello! Main khud ek heater hun, lane ki kya zarurat hai?""Ab to dum bhi ghut raha hai Suriji, apun chalta hai" he turns to leave. "Alekh, samajh Suriji ki baat ko. Tu ander ye nahi le ja sakta" says Neelu, pointing towards Alekh's coat.Turning, he looks at Neelu, irritated. She meets his eyes with full courage. Slowly, he brings out a thin container of alcohol and throws it into a trash can, without ending the eye contact with Neelu. Then giving a last look at Neelu, he goes away. "Very good ji, very good" says Suriji, as Alekh throws the container and leaves. Smiling, Neelu comes forward, embracing Suriji's arm, she joins others.

Oh come on Dr. Shalini ab to mujhey janna hai, please bataiye na" laughs Dr. Mishra."Wo I was thinking... I mean, I know..." replies Dr. Shalini, walking away from Dr. Mishra. "Dr. Shalini aap itna hesitate kyun kar rhi hain?"asks Dr. Mishra, placing her hand on Dr. Shalini's shoulder."Hesitate? Nahi! Nahi to...!" replies Dr. Shalini, feeling shy. "Really?

After enjoying the party for sometime, Naina goes to a corner, away from everyone and checks her mobile. Going to the mobile's 'Gallery', she plays a video. The video of Captain Rajveer's room starts on the screen!

For the first one hour was the conversation that took place between Captain Rajveer and Naina, she fast forwards it and starts viewing the video from the moment she left the room.

'Rajveer gets furious. Banging the wall with his fist he says "Kyu Naina kyu? Kyu chupa rahi ho tum mujhse ye baat ki tum... ki tum Naveen ki behn ho! Kya tumhe mujh par itna bhi bharosa nahi, ki tum mujhey such bata sakti ho?"Then turning back, he starts moving towards the mirror of his room, "Kya tumhe lagta hai ki main tum par bharosa nahi karunga? Main intezaar kar raha tha ki shayad ab tum batao such" He grabs the bed post,"Haan mera ek maksad to pura hua ki mujhey ye pata chal gaya ki tumhe tumhare maksad tak pohnchne se koi nahi rok sakta. Jab 'main' tumse such nahi sunn paya, so I am sure koi aur bhi itni aasani se tumhara maksad nahi jaan payega"Moving towards the mirror and standing in front of it, "Par Naina, tum nahi janti ki yahan kaise-kaise log hain! Tumhe tod denge, tumhe chain se jeene nahi denge ye, ek baar jo inhe ye pata chal gaya ki tum Naveen ki behn ho. Naveen, jissey KMA ka har ek insaan deshdrohi samjhta hai" Then turning around, with anger "Aur main ye hotey hue nahi dekh paunga. Ye such hai Naina ki main tumhe bachaunga, zarur bachaunga, par main kab tak tumhara saath de paunga, ya kab tak inse bacha paunga, mujhey bhi nahi pata! Main nahi chahta ki agar mujhey kabhi kuch ho jaye, to tum par kabhi koi bhi museebat aaye!"Suddenly, there is a knock at the door and the video ends'

As the video ends Naina realizes that she is crying."Aap... (sobs) aapne mujhey bataya kyun nahi? (sobs) Kyun Sir kyu? Main..."unable to word her feelings, she continues crying.

(Slow Rajveer-Naina tune starts) She starts thinking about all the moments she has spent with him till date! A smile touches her lips, and her eyes brim with fresh tears. Closing her eyes she rubs her tears, smiling she walks to join others.
