Inside her tent, Naina worries about Rajveer. Roaming inside her tent Naina says,"itni der ho gayi. Sir kahan reh gaye? Jakey dekhun?"Naina, walks out of her tent in search of Rajveer.

Captain Rajveer, ties the logs together. "May I help you out?" "No it's alright!" "Some light?" "No its okay!"saying this he carries the logs.Crossing her arms, Dr. Mishra says,"you know Captain, mere experience ne mujhey ek baat sikhayi hai, soch-samajh kar diye hue jawab humesha such lagte hain, lekin sachey hotey nahi, wo dimag ka haal batate hain. Suchey jawab jo dil se diye jatey hain wo humesha suchey nahi lagte lekin suchey hotey hain. Kyunki wo dil ka haal batate hain. Suchey jawab jo dil se diye jatey hain wo humesha suchey nahi lagte lekin suchey hote hain. Kyunki wo dil ka haal batate hain".Smirking, he says,"To?" "Bohot simple si observation hai Captain,... you are in love!" declares Dr. Mishra, casually. Rajveer remains quiet and keeps staring her.

On the other hand, Naina searches for Rajveer in the forest.

Throwing the logs on the floor and smiling, Rajveer says, "I am in love! Love! Interesting!"Then putting his hands inside his jeans' pockets, Captain Rajveer moves forward, crossing Dr. Mishra. He rests his right hand on the trunk of the tree in front, his left hand inside his jeans' pocket. He repeats, "I am in love. Lekin kiske saath? Aakhir kar kon hai mere aas-paas? Dr... Shalini ke saath? Lekin wo to date pe Yudi ke saath gayi theen. Lekin ho sakta hai ki wo date par mere saath jana chahti hoon aur mujhse keh na payi hon?"saying this he turns to look at Dr. Mishra, then laughs a little, at his own joke, "just joking!" he says looking ahead."Ahmm... unke alawa jo mere ird-gird hain wo hain",then he thinks and says, "Cadet... Pooja Ghai?" then he turns towards Dr. Mishra and says, "lekin Cadet Pooja Ghai..."turning back again,"ko to khud kisi ke connection ka intezaar hai" "aur agar le-de ke koi bachta hai to... wo hai Cadet..."lowering his eyes and playing with his nails out of utter shyness, he completes, "Cadet Singh! Cadet Naina Singh!" Blushing more, he says, lowering his voice,"par wo mujhey kyun pyar karengi? Wo aisa kuch kyun karengi ki mujhey unse pyar ho jaye? Waise bhi apne bhai ke alawa wo kisi aur ke barey mein sochti bhi kahan hain?" "Excuse me! Apne bhai?" "Haan wo N..." then he realizes what he was about to do. Clearing his throat he completes his line, but after rectifying his error,"Naina! Naina apne bhai se bohot pyaar karti hai actually""Bhai? Strange! Captain apko yaad hai maine apse kaha tha ki Cadet Singh kafi dedicated lagti hain apne motive, apne lakshya ko paney ke liye wo kuch bhi kar sakti hain. Maine apne class mein bhi notice kia hai. Although she is a very bright student but kafi chup-chup rehti hain". Sighing Dr. Mishra says,"ahmm... anyways, I shall take your leave now, good night Captain""Good night" smiles Captain Rajveer. Dr. Mishra leaves.

As Captain Rajveer turns, he finds Naina standing there and gets astonished. "Cadet Singh aap yahan?""ahmm... ji abhi-abhi ayi hun. Aap yahan akele aise khadey hokar kya soch rahe hain?" as he hears this question, he feels relaxed, realizing that she hasn't heard his and Dr. Mishra's conversation. They start walking together, "main bus aa hi raha tha".

Inside Major Nayyer and Pooja's tent.

"Cadet Ghai kya apne socha hai ki hum khane mein kya khayenge? Ya bhukey pet soney ka irrada hai?" "Nahi wo Suriji hai na wohi kuch..." as she says this, she realizes that this is not KMA. Suriji is not here. She'll have to find something for themselves. After five minutes, she is walking in the middle of the forest searching for something edible and cursing Major Nayyer simultaneously."Ek to uss Bhargava ne mujhey iss darawne jungle mein, iss jungle se bhi darawne Major Nayyer ke saath bhej dia aur uske upar se uss muchhad ne ek aur saza suna di. Ab mujh jaisi masoom si ladki, jiska iss jungle se koi connection nahi, yahan khaney ka signal kaise dhundhegi? Agar wrong number lag gya aur mujhey kuch ho gaya to?"as she asks this question to herself, still busy in searching something edible, a voice from behind startles her,"apko kuch nahi hoga". After getting back to normal, after getting scared by the voice, she sighs and turns to find Ali standing behind her. "Ali tu? Tu ne to mujhey dara hi dia. Tu yahan kya kar raha hai?" "Wohi jo aap kar rahi hain!""Uss muchhad ke paas to le-de kar koi kaam nahi mujhey tang karne ke alawa. Tujhey pata hai Ali, main kehti hun na ki wo aurton ki izzat nahi karta! Wo such mein aurton ko tang karna bohot achi tarah janta hai. Mujhey keh dia kuch khane ke liye dhundh ke laney ko. Ye bhi koi baat hoti hai? Tujhey pata hai..." as she was about to continue, Ali takes her hand and places few small fruits in her hands. Seeing them, makes Pooja to get emotional. Unable to bear her feelings anymore, she hugs him tightly with teary eyes. Startle by her sudden assault in the beginning, Ali soon embraces her tightly with a smile on his face. Leaving each-other, they blush and leave for their tents.
