A NEW HOPE - Page 2

Posted: 15 years ago
Inside the house, Naina's step-mom had gone to Naina's room to call her downstairs. It was 7:30 pm and the engagement would begin soon. When she saw Neelu there, she told her to bring Naina down and then left the room without saying a word to her step-daughter. But Naina, being used to this treatment just sighed and took Neelu's hand as they left the room together. Neelu and Naina had reached the staircase when suddenly Neelu's cell beeped.

"kya hua Neelu? Kya Yudi aur Aalekh baaki sab ke saath aa rahe hai?" Naina asked, hoping that her one wish would come true.

"Haan Naina, bro ne abhi abhi message kiya hai ki they have reached aur tumhaare liye sab ruke hai… chalo." Neelu assured her friend. And then they walked down the stairs.

As all the guests turned around to face the staircase, they saw Naina looking gorgeous in her outfit coming downstairs to the hall where a stage had been put up for the engagement. Naina's fianc was Ronit Rai Choudhary, a famous politician's son. Ronit was a lawyer by profession but didn't have the looks of one. True, he was rich, famous and a lawyer but Ronit didn't have the looks at all; not that they mattered too much since Naina looked like a goddess next to him.

Ronit's mother was a good friend of Naina's step-mom and together, the two ladies had arranged for their children's marriage. Ronit was now, on the stage with his mom and dad and his to-be in-laws. Neelu led Naina up on stage. Pooja, Aalekh, Yudi, Ali and Huda were already on the stage, waiting for her looking at her with bright smiling faces. When Naina was about 5 feet apart from Ronit, she turned to face the guests.

It was then did her gaze fall on a part of the crowd. She saw Abhimanyu, Gunny and Dr. Shalini standing next to Brigadier Chandok, Suriji and Lolita Ma'am. But what made her wonder was the young man standing with them. Naina didn't recognize him because he was wearing sunglasses and a long jacket that covered most of his face.

What she did notice was that he had long hair, and a small beard and he was talking to Abhimanyu about something important. Naina was brought out of her reverie when she heard her step-mother announce her engagement to Ronit.

"Ab sagai ka samay ho gaya hai… rings kahan hai?" Her step-mother called for the rings. Naina wanted to do something and so she whispered to Aalekh, "Aalekh, kuch karo… please."

"Naina, don't worry, agar Shahrukh tumhe bacha nahi sakta, iska matlab toh nahi ki Salman bhi nahi bacha sakta." Pooja told her friend.

"Salman? Pooja tu yeh kya keh rahi hai?" Naina was confused.

"Sahi hi toh keh rahi hai, punjaban. Naina tumhe is shaadi se koi bacha sakta hai…" Aalekh told her.

"Kaun?" Naina was desperate to know. The rings had reached the stage and the tray was nearing her… and then it had reached. Ronit's sister Ayesha was standing between the couple with the ring boxes placed on a flower laden tray. Ronit picked up one box and slowly removed the ring.

****************
"Navin, jao… abhi sahi waqt hai. Go and save Naina" Gunny told Navin, who nodded and began edging forward towards the stage. He saw Ronit holding the ring, his step-mother holding Naina's hand out and then he acted.

*****************
Just as Ronit was about to put the ring onto Naina's finger, they all heard a loud voice.

"RUK JAO…"

It was all that Navin needed to say to get everyone's attention. Naina was happy… this may prove to be a good distraction she thought. She was about to move when she saw that the guests had spread out leaving the mysterious sunglasses guest standing there. It was him who said 'ruk jao', Naina wondered why…

The guest came forward and spoke again, "yeh sagai nahi ho sakti."

"Yeh awaaz…" Naina felt as if her heart had stopped, it had turned cold… that voice belonged to someone dear to her, someone who was no longer with her… how could that be possible? It seemed that Naina's step-mother also wanted to know what was going on.

"Aap hai kaun? Aur kisne kaha aapse ki yeh sagai nahi ho sakti?" she demanded to know who this man was… everyone in the hall seemed to know the same thing to. The guest smiled and then he spoke, "Kisi ne mujhe pehchaana nahi? Khair koi baat nahi… dekho main kaun hoon."

He removed his jacket first to reveal a bandaged arm supported on a sling and a shirt full of cuts and holes in it. He then looked up at Naina who was holding on to Aalekh tightly but maintaining her gaze on him. He walked a bit closer to her and then he removed his glasses to reveal his face.

A hush fell all over the hall…. Everyone was pointing and staring at him… and whispering, "Capt. Navin Singh Alhuwalia… zinda hai?" But Navin paid no attention to what everyone else was saying. His eyes were locked on to Naina who was staring at him frozen like a statue. He climbed up onstage and stood 2 feet away from his dear sister. He didn't say a word to her, nor did she. Naina couldn't believe her eyes; her dead brother was standing in front of her after so many years… she slowly held up a hand and touched Navin's face to find it real.

"N…Navin…" she managed to say with great difficulty.

"haan Naina… meri pyaari chuhiya" Navin replied smiling at her.

The word 'chuhiya' hit Naina so hard that it made her realize that this was all real. Her brother Navin was alive and standing in front of her. She tried to say something, but her throat seemed dry and unable to speak, she was trembling as she tried to think about something, but her mind was blank.

But Navin understood her and what she was trying to say and he just took her in his embrace and when she hugged him back tightly, the tears started flowing uncontrollably, she sobbed into his shoulder, unaware of his injuries, but neither did he mind it at all… he had found his sister after all these years, he knew that she had sacrificed a lot to bring justice to his name, he knew that she had lost everything she had… including her love, Rajveer.

It took Naina a few minutes to calm down. Her tears turned into small sobs as she clung onto her brother, fearing that if she left him, he would leave her again. Finally breaking the silence, Navin spoke, "Naina… chalo yahan se, main tumhe yahan se lene aaya hoon."

"Par… bh…bhaai…hum…yeh sagai…?" Naina didn't know what to say or how to say anything to Navin, she was still in shock, she slowly began to feel her heart filling up again with happiness… she knew this was true. Navin was alive and in her arms.

"Yeh sagai nahi ho rahi hai, kyunki tumhaari sagai kahin aur fix hua hai…" Navin told his sister, surprising her and their parents as well.

"Kya? It's not possible, you can't do this… tumhe koi haq nahi banta ki tum Naina ko yahan se leke ja sakte ho…" Mrs. Alhuwalia tried to stop Navin, but he held up a hand to silence her.

"Haq? Main Naina ka bhaai hoon, mujhe poor haq hai ki main apni behen ka shaadi usse karwaoon jisse woh pyaar karti hai, uski haan se hi main apni behen ka shaadi karoonga…"
"Aapne toh zabardasti Naina ki shaadi tay kiya tha…baba, main Naina ko lekar jaa raha hoon, uska dhyaan main rakhoonga, aur uski shaadi bhi main hi karwaoonga."

Saying this, Navin took Naina's hand in his and led her off the stage and along with her friends and the other KMA members, they left the Alhuwalia house in the same van they had come in and headed towards KMA. In the van, Naina hugged Navin once again as she began to cry and he consoled her…

"B…bhaiya… aap zinda ho… lekin kaise…? Aur aap yahan kaise pahunche?" Naina's mind was whirring with a thousand questions. She needed some answers and wanted them now.

"Naina… main kabhi mara hi nahi…main baad mein sab samjhaoonga… ek baat abhi batata hoon ki Raj ne jab mujhpar goli chalaayi, main bach gaya. Lekin main coma mein chala gaya tha… aur ussi jungle mein ek kutiya mein reh raha tha… aur mujhe chhe mahine pehle hosh aaya." Navin told her some of the story behind his survival.

"Lekin… agar aapko hosh uss waqt aa gaya, aap abhi waapis kaise aa gaye, uss waqt kyun nahi aaye?" Naina asked, still confused but more clear about the stuff going on in her mind now. Instead of Navin replying, Abhimanyu did.

"Naina, jab Raj ka accident hua tha, woh bhi bach gaya tha… aur Navin usse mil gaya… dono pichle chhe mahine se saath the lekin antankwaadiyon ne unhe pakad liya tha."

"Rajveer sir bhi zinda hai?" Naina was thrilled when she heard that Rajveer was also alive, her heart was coming alive once again. The two men she loved the most in her life were alive and with her, at least Navin was.

"Haan. Lekin Raj yahan nahi hai, tumhaare dost sirf mujhe hi yahan tak lekar aa sake." Navin told her.

"Mere dost? You mean… tum sab?" Naina indicated to her friends, Aalekh, Ali, Yudi, Pooja and Huda.

"Ji haan, humne aapke bhaai ko bachaya, Naina" Ali told her.

"Apun sab kal jab bhaag gaye, isliye gaye taaki tere bhaai ko bacha sake." Aalekh told her. And then all her friends told her how they had found Navin in an abandoned warehouse along with Rajveer. How they had killed all the guards and rescued them both, but left Rajveer behind in a safe place with a doctor.

"Doctor? Rajveer sir ko kya hua hai?" Naina seemed worried and wondered what must have happened to her mentor.

"Don't worry Naina, kuch serious nahi hai, Rajveer ko sirf kuch chotein aayi hai, isliye maine apne ek colleague ko wahan rakha hai." Dr. Shalini reassured Naina.

"Haan Naina, Raj bilkul theek hai, hum wahin jaa rahe hai, usse milne. Usse aaraam ki zaroorat hai." Navin said to Naina.

"Navin, tumhe bhi aaram karna chahiye, it's a long drive there." Gunny told his friend while driving.

"Haan bhaai, aap so jao. Bahut thake ho." Naina ordered him.

"Okay meri maa, goodnight." Navin kissed Naina on her forehead and went off to sleep for a while.

The remainder of the journey passed in silence. Naina had removed all her heavy jewelry and now sat beside her two brothers, Aalekh and Navin. She felt as if she was the happiest and luckiest girl in the universe. She had found her brother whom she thought she had lost more than 5 years ago and she knew that she would soon come face to face with her mentor, and her love, Rajveer. Before she herself dozed off to sleep, Neelu came to her and gave Naina her locket; she wore it once more around her neck and leaning on Aalekh's shoulder for support Naina fell into a deep slumber.

The past hour had been quite hard on her and now knowing that she would be meeting Rajveer in a short time comforted her a lot and worried her a bit as well. For, they would be meeting after two long years. What Naina did not know was that Navin knew that she was in love with his best friend Rajveer and also that there would be more than one surprise once they all met up.
