As soon as Rajveer enters his quarter, he is shocked, seeing someone run to him and tightly hug him.

But the moment he feels her against him, he smiles, realizing who it is.

"Naina," he says, feeling exhaustion leave his body as he hugs her back. "What are you doing here?"

Although he is glad she is here, he is also confused about how she got inside when the door was locked from the outside.

"Are you fine? Why were you in the hospital? You are not injured, are you?" Naina breaks the hug and takes a step back to look at Rajveer.

She has been feeling restless and anxious since she found out about him being in a hospital.

Rajveer smiles, seeing her concern for him. "I am fine, Naina. I just got some minor scratches. Nothing serious."

"But what happened? How did you get hurt? And why did you go to the hospital if it was just minor scratches?" Naina narrows her eyes at him, wondering if he is hiding something from her.

Rajveer sighs when he looks at Naina's serious stance. He knows she will not let it go until he tells her the truth.

"Someone stole Lieutenant Chaubey's phone and messaged me from his phone, asking me to come to a location. A few goons surrounded me when I got there, and we had a small fight.

"In the end, I got them all tied up and called the headquarters to send some officers to get them arrested. But after that, I felt a bit dizzy because one of them had hit me on the head during the fight.

"So, I went to the hospital to get my head examined. Luckily, it was nothing serious, and the doctor discharged me, telling me to rest and visit him if I felt dizzy again," he tells her, and Naina checks his head for injury. She relaxes a bit when she feels no bump or open wound on his head.

"But who did that? Why would someone steal Lieutenant Chaubey's phone and call you to a place like that?" She is confused as well as worried about him.

'What if the person behind all this tried something like this again?' She feels anxious due to that thought.

"Don't worry, Naina. I have already talked to Roshan about this, and I am going to be more careful next time," Rajveer replies to Naina, but when he notices that she still looked unconvinced, he cradles her face with his hands, gently stroking it as he does so.

"Naina, I promise I will be much more careful from now on and will not let anything like this happen again. Trust me, ok?" He says, and Naina gives him a slight nod.

"Now tell me, how did you come inside my quarter? Because when I returned, the door was locked from outside," he asks her, curious to know.

"Well, when I met Lieutenant Chaubey earlier, I told him I would stay outside to wait for you. But he suggested me to stay inside the quarter as it was already time for the lights out. He let me in using the spare key you had given him, and when I got in, he locked the door from outside. After that, he went to the hospital to pick you up," she tells him.

Hearing Naina, Rajveer understands why Roshan was behaving weirdly during the ride from the hospital to KMA.

He had kept smiling all the way, and after dropping him at the KMA's gate, Roshan even said he would be delighted once he got inside his quarter.

Rajveer had not understood what he meant then, but it made sense now.

'I am glad that Roshan let Naina inside,' Rajveer thinks, looking affectionately at Naina, when suddenly, an idea pops into his mind.

"Why were you worried about me, Naina?" He asks, hoping his strategy will work.

"Because I got your note from the orderly in which you had written you would be back in the academy by 1900 hours. But I started getting concerned when you did not return by 2100 hours. My worry increased when I met Lieutenant Chaubey and he told me that he never messaged you.

"And later, when you called from the hospital, I was terrified thinking about why you went there.

"But I am so relieved now to see that you are fine. So glad that nothing happened to you, Naina says. Then, lurching forward, she hugs Rajveer, really relieved that he is fine.

Rajveer hugs her back and strokes her hair.

"But that is what I am asking, Naina. Why were you worried for me? Why so much concern for me? Why?" He tries again, hoping she will give him the reply that he wants to hear.

Feeling overwhelmed due to her immense relief at seeing Rajveer well and alive, Naina lets her guard down completely. She further tightens the hug, burying her head in his chest.

"Because I love you. I do not know when and how I fell in love with you, but I did, and now it feels impossible to imagine my life without you in it," Naina confesses her feelings to Rajveer, snuggling more into his chest.

Feeling his heart swell with joy due to Naina's confession, Rajveer runs his hands over her back, feeling content having her in his arms.

"I love you too, Naina. I realized my love for you in solitary confinement and decided to stay away because I didn't want your career to get affected by my feelings. But I could not do it. I guess I am too weak to stay away from you."

He knows he should feel guilty for doing this, but he cannot feel anything other than immense delight due to this confession.

How can he feel any guilt when the girl he loves is in his arms, confessing her love to him?

How can he feel any regret when this is the most beautiful moment of his life?

"No, you are not weak. You are strong. Weak are those people who run away from their feelings. Weak are those people who hide and try to bury their love.

"But you have embraced your feelings and love for me with all your heart. How can you be weak then?" Naina says to Rajveer, sucking in a breath when he gives her a heart-melting smile.

He then places a lingering kiss on her forehead.

"Hmm, I thought you only knew how to ask many questions. I had no idea you knew how to give wisdom too. Impressive, Cadet Singh," he teases her, and she frowns, hearing him.

"Oh, really? Well, if my many questions bother you, then I will not ask any questions from now. Happy?" she huffs and turns away from him.

Smiling at Naina's cute anger, Rajveer steps closer to her and snakes his hand around her waist to pull her to him.

Naina gasps when she feels her back colliding with his chest.

"I did not say that your questions bother me, Naina. In fact, I love to answer all your questions and clear all your confusion," he whispers in her ear, and all thoughts flow away from her mind when she feels his breath on her skin.

Her only focus is on his breath, tickling her face, and his hand clutching her waist.

"Rajveer Sir," Naina says hesitantly, and Rajveer frowns at her.

"I have won the challenge," he says suddenly, moving his lips against her neck and smirking when she takes in a sharp breath.

"What challenge?" Naina asks, having forgotten everything else at the moment.

"Yesterday's challenge, Naina. I made you confess within twenty-four hours. So, I won," Rajveer answers, and grabbing her arms, he turns her around to face him.

"Now, you will have to do whatever I say. No questions asked," he tells her, and she gulps, seeing the intense look in his eyes.

"Wh..What do you want m..mee to do?" Naina stutters, his dark look making her heart beat furiously against her chest.

"Call me Rajveer. Just Rajveer," he says, pulling her closer and hovering his lips over hers.

"But how can I-" she is unable to complete her question because he interrupts her.

"Do it, Naina. Now," Rajveer demands, getting impatient.

"But, Sir," Naina tries to reason with him but stops when he keeps his finger over her lips.

"No buts, Naina. It was our deal. You lost the challenge, so you will have to do as I say," he says, removing his finger from her lips only after she nods.

"Rajveer.... Sir," she says, not used to calling him by his name without adding Sir.

"Try again," he orders.

"Rajveer..... Sir." She fails again, and he pulls her body close to his in such a way that there is no space left between them.

"Again, Naina," he says, roaming his hand over her back.

"Rajveer... S-"

Before Naina could say Sir this time, Rajveer presses his lips against hers.

She moans when he sucks on her upper lip and opens her mouth to let him in.

He kisses her deeply, and Naina quickly gets lost in the kiss, her world zeroing into his hands roaming on her body, feeling her curves, and his lips moving against hers.

"Whenever you try to add Sir after my name, I will kiss you to stop you," Rajveer says after ending the kiss and sees Naina blush prettily.

"Umm, I need to go now," she says shyly and turns to walk out of the quarter.

But before she can do that, he holds her wrist, pulling her back.

Gasping due to the sudden pull, Naina looks questioningly at Rajveer and sees him smirking at her.

"How can you go now, Naina? There are still other things left to do."
