Part-8
All cadets were in the mess when Huda came in and started talking in his usual style.
Huda- Oy guys, taou ne fresher's ball announcement kiya hai. It's after one week, so get your dates ready.
Pooja- Wow, one more party... mazaa aa jayega... Ali tu mere saath chalega na... hamara connection bahut jamega...
Ali started to choke on food he was eating and Sherry and Aalekh smiled at each other.
Pooja- Kya hua Ali? Tujhe mere saath nahi chalna kya?
Ali- Nahi Pooja, Hum aap ke saath jaroor chalenge...
Huda- Oy chalo, punjaban aur usool bhai ka setting to ho gaya.. Kaidi tu kya karega...
Aalekh- Apun Neelu ke saath jayega. Apun ne usko pehle se bol diya hai...
Sherry- Nice, we haven't seen her since last party so we will meet her at fresher's ball.
Huda- Oy miss sherry... will you be my date for the fresher's ball?
Sherry- Kyon? Tum to keh rahe the ki tum ko koi bhi ladki mil jayegi to ab mujh se kyon pooch rahe ho...
Huda- Wo is liye kyonki zindagi bhar nahi na sahi kam se kam ek fresher's ball main to aap ka saath mil jaata to is bande pe badi mehrabani hoti..
Aalekh- Nautanki saala....
Pooja- Oy sherry, is baar Huda ka connection jod de warna poori party main iski battery nahi chalegi.
Ali- Haan sherry, aap is baar haan kar dijiye.. waise bhi dosto ke saath parties ka mazaa kuch aur hota hai.
Sherry(thinks)- All right Huda, I will go to fresher's ball with you.

In the afternoon, Abhi, Kunal and Raj came to the mess when suriji was excited.
Abhi- Kya hua suriji, kahi lolitaji ne shaadi ke liye haan to nahi kar di...
Suriji- Oy puttar, shaadi ke liye to nahi lekin fresher's ball pe aane ke liye haan zaroor kahi hai.
Raj- That's good progress suriji, waise cadets bhi kaafi khush honge is fresher's ball se...
Suriji- Subah se canteen main ek yahi baat discuss kar rahe the... Waise tum logo ne apni dates thoondh li kya?
Abhi- I have a date for lifetime now suriji so these two have to worry not me... so what about you kunal, by the way whom did you go with in your academy in your first year?
Kunal- with shalini aur is saal bhi main uske hi saath ja raha hoon.
Abhi- Aur Naina kis ke saath gayee thi?
Kunal- Naina never has problem finding dates. Infact NDA main to usko almost sare cadets ne poocha tha?
Raj- And with whom she went with?
Kunal- No one from our batch. She specially invited Karan as he had holidays in his academy.
Abhi- Who is Karan?
Kunal- Karan Adhikari (played by Iqbal khan) is a very good friend of Naina, shalini and mine. We used to attend civilian college together for two years before we went to NDA. He loves to fly and he wanted to become air force officer so he joined another academy. He is IAF officer now. Naina and I met him just before we came here at KMA.
Abhi- We would like to meet him some day...
Kunal- By the way, when you were freshers, whom did you go with in the fresher's ball.
Abhi - I went with Nandini and then she became my girlfriend right after fresher's ball. Raj didn't even ask anyone as Naveen had already set him up with someone.
Kunal(smiled)- Naveen used to flirt a lot. When he visited our academy, Naina had to keep her friends away from him.
Raj(smiled)- They were great times...
Abhi- I know but now what will you do Raj? You need to find a date.
Kunal- Why don't you ask Naina? She still didn't figure out her date.
Abhi- great idea...
Raj- But I have never asked any girl on a date before...
Kunal- What?????? You have never asked anyone out in your life...
Raj- No....
Abhi- Then this will be your first time... Just go and ask her...
Raj- All right....
********************************************************
Naina were going for her class with first year cadets when she heard a knock on the door. It was Raj.
Naina- Hi Raj, come on in...
Raj- Thanks... Naina, I wanted to ask you something.
Naina- Go ahead... but hurry up as I have a class in ten minutes...
Raj- Ok then this can wait...
Naina- No no go ahead... I still have ten minutes...
Raj- I was wondering......
Naina- yeah...
Raj- Leave it... I will come later...
Naina- Oh come on Raj! what ever it is just tell me, it can't be that bad...
Raj took a deep breath and said in one breath, "I was wondering that since there is a fresher's ball and We have to go with dates so if you can come with me."
Naina(smiled)- That's it... I will come with you...
Raj(relieved)- Oh thanks....
Naina- Ok then I will see you later. I have a class to attend.
Raj- Sure bye...
*******************************************************
Ritu was pissed as she thought that Rajveer would ask her for fresher's ball but he asked Naina instead and since she heard that from shalini, she needed to find a date. She didn't want to go at first place but she had to go for her motive. She found only one option: Major Niar
In fact Major Niar didn't want to come but it was also necessary for him to attend according to KMA's rulebook so he said 'yes' to go with Dr. Mishra. BC invited his old friend "Chitra" as they were dating in these days.
******************************************************
Raj was happy when Naina said "yes" to him. He was actually looking forward to go to the fresher's ball. Three days before fresher's ball, Raj went to the mess to get a coffee at late night, and he stopped at the music room as he heard some music.
He peeked inside where he found Naina practicing dance steps. Naina saw him and she turned off music.
Raj- What are you doing here at this late Naina?
Naina- Well actually, I was waiting for kunal so he can help me practice this dance steps. I am terrible at formal dancing. But I think Kunal forgot to come.
Raj- You never did formal dance even at your fresher's ball?
Naina- No I did then. Karan taught me some steps before the ball but I forgot by them now.
Raj offered her a hand indicating that he will teach her how to dance. They both had a great time practicing those steps. They both laughed when they made mistakes.
After the dance, when they both were relaxing, Raj looked at Naina.
Raj- Didn't you ever ask Naveen to teach you these dance steps?
Naina(laughed)- Are you kidding me? He would never teach me these dance steps.
Raj- Why not?
Naina- Because he was always opposed of me dating to anyone. When I was in college, he specifically instructed Kunal and Karan to keep other boys away from me.
Raj- Yeah, and he never showed anyone your picture at the academy either.
Naina(smiled)- Well he was typical older brother.
Suddenly Naina stopped smiling, as she realized that she was remembering him happily after such a long time.
Raj understood exactly what Naina was thinking.
Raj- Naina, it's ok to remember happy times and it's ok to remember him happily.
Naina- I know it's just sometimes I wish he was here with me.
Raj- I wish that sometimes too.
Naina- But he will always be in our heart. And we will get to that person who framed him.
Raj- Don't worry Naina, we will find that person together.
Naina smiled and bid him good night.
