The following morning, as soon as Rajveer managed to have a private conversation with Naina, he demanded, "I insist on examining the confessions of Major Bhargav and Col. Handa."
Naina raised an eyebrow and questioned, "What has prompted this sudden request?"
"I pondered the matter throughout the night. Their confessions must contain clues. Since your family members are not in the military and you have just begun your service, it's possible that something was overlooked. I want to review their confessions," Rajveer explained.
"But what if you discover important clues and feel compelled to share them with your superior? Alternatively, what if you decide to take action without informing them? Are you prepared to act without orders from your superiors if necessary?" Naina inquired.
Rajveer let out a sigh. "I acknowledge your valid point, Naina. However, I believe I am prepared. The idea of uncovering the truth, even if it requires courage... I cannot bear not knowing, my love."
"Very well then. Today is Saturday. We can pretend to go on a date and utilize that opportunity to watch their videos," Naina informed him. After getting ready for their date, they made a plan to meet at the entrance of the academy at 1800 hours.
Later that afternoon
Naina informed Pooja that she had a date with Rajveer in the evening and began searching for an appropriate outfit in her cupboard. Pooja became excited upon hearing about the date. However, when Naina chose a pair of acid wash jeans and a floral top, Pooja snatched them away, expressing disapproval.
"No, you can't wear this wallpaper," Pooja firmly stated.
Confused, Naina asked, "Why not?"
"Come on, yaar Naina! You're going on a date with our Shahrukh. You need to do something special for him," Pooja pleaded.
Naina chuckled, finding her best friend's reaction amusing. "Alright then. You can choose what I should wear," she told Pooja, taking a seat on her bed.
"Yay!" Pooja exclaimed happily, saying, "I'll be right back," before rushing out of the room as if she were in a hurry to catch a train. Naina shook her head at her friend's excitement.
Five minutes later, Pooja returned with something in her hands. "Here, you'll be wearing this today," she said, thrusting the items into Naina's hands.
Naina looked at the items in surprise and exclaimed, "A saree? You want me to wear a saree for him?"
"Yes," Pooja replied with determination.
Amused, Naina accepted the items and began getting ready for the evening. Pooja had brought a black and white floral-print georgette saree with a black sleeveless and backless blouse. Naina kept her makeup light and left her hair down. She accessorized with a pair of Rubans oxidized silver-plated handcrafted bangles and a pair of oxidized silver-plated mirror long earrings.
(Naina's date outfit)
"How do I look?" Naina asked Pooja.
"You look like the best handset in the world!"!" Pooja exclaimed with a big smile on her face.
Naina chuckled. "Thank you so much," she replied.
"Oh, wait... you're missing a bindi," Pooja noticed, and she went to her dresser to get one. She placed a small black bindi on Naina's forehead, between her eyebrows. "Now you look absolutely perfect," Pooja declared.
Naina chuckled, shaking her head. "You're being biased," she said wisely as she grabbed a small black clutch from her cupboard and put her cell phone inside. "I'm heading out now. Please handle Lolita ma'am for me if we end up being late," she requested.
"Don't worry, my friend. I'll take care of everything," Pooja reassured her with a thumbs-up.
... - ...
Rajveer parked his jeep just outside the main entrance of the academy. Standing beside the jeep, he reviewed the photos that Gunny and Pooja had collected from Nair's office on his phone. Suddenly, his heart started racing, causing him to furrow his brow in confusion. Puzzled, he placed his hand on his chest and felt the rapid beating, as if his heart was trying to escape his chest. He put his phone away and glanced up, freezing in place immediately.
There stood Naina, adorned in a breathtaking saree, captivating his senses with her elegance and grace. His eyes roamed over her, taking in every detail, from the intricate floral patterns of the saree to the way it hugged her curves in all the right places. She looked like a vision, radiating beauty and confidence. Words escaped Rajveer as he struggled to articulate the sheer admiration and adoration that swelled within him. He was mesmerized, unable to tear his eyes away from her. The saree added a new dimension to Naina's allure, highlighting her features and accentuating her feminine charm. It was a sight that etched itself into his memory, forever capturing his heart.
Regaining his composure, Rajveer took a step closer, a playful smile forming on his lips. "Wow, Naina," he whispered, his voice filled with a mixture of appreciation and flirtation. "You look absolutely stunning in that saree. It's as if it was made specifically to enhance your beauty. I'm a lucky man to have you by my side tonight."
Naina's smile grew wider as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, basking in the warmth of Rajveer's admiration. She felt a sense of satisfaction, grateful that she had followed Pooja's urging to wear a saree. "Thanks," she replied, her voice tinged with bashfulness. "This is actually my first time wearing a saree outside. In the past, I used to wear my mom's sarees only at home," she shared, revealing a glimpse of her past habits with a touch of shyness.
Rajveer's eyes lingered on her, appreciating every curve and contour that the saree accentuated. "I genuinely believe you should wear sarees more often," he said, his voice filled with a mixture of desire and admiration. "You look incredibly... sexy. Although, I must warn you, it's not good for my heart. It might just stop beating at any moment, seeing you like this," he confessed dreamily, a sigh escaping his lips.
Naina couldn't help but giggle at his flirty compliments, feeling a playful sense of delight. "Oh, come on," she protested lightly, feigning modesty at his sweet words.
"It's not just flattery, Naina. I mean..." Rajveer's voice trailed off as he tilted his head slightly, his eyes fixed on her. He gently touched Naina's bare waist with one hand and softly caressed her arms with the other. "How can I think about anything else when you look so amazing?" he wondered, completely enchanted by her appearance. The warmth of his touch made Naina feel excited, sending pleasant shivers down her back and awakening a strong desire within her. His fingers lingered on her waist, creating a special connection that they both felt. It was a moment filled with promises, where they communicated through touch and the affectionate exchange of glances.
(Imagine Rajveer touching her waist like this.)
After a few moments, Naina playfully took hold of his hand, gently guiding it away from her waist, her laughter filling the air. "Now I get what Pooja meant by making it special. It seems your cadets wanted us to have a romantic evening on our date," she remarked, her tone lighthearted. As they walked towards his jeep, she continued, shaking her head in amusement. "No wonder Pooja hurried off to Dr. Shalini and borrowed this saree for me," she added, sharing the details of their little escapade.
"It belongs to Doc?" Rajveer asked, his eyebrows raised in surprise.
Naina nodded, confirming his suspicion. "Yes, that's right. I don't have any sarees of my own," she admitted with a smile.
Rajveer's eyes gleamed with mischief as he made a bold declaration. "Well, we need to fix that. You should have a few sarees at least, especially ones you can wear for me," he said shamelessly, causing Naina to burst into laughter at his playful audacity.
Throughout the drive to the location Naina was leading him to, Rajveer couldn't help but steal glances at her. Seeing Naina in a saree was overwhelming for him. While Naina focused on driving, Rajveer seized the chance to capture moments by taking pictures of them together and occasionally of Naina alone. It was a way for him to cherish the memories they were creating.
Naina understood that Rajveer's mood would be affected once they watched the confessions, so she allowed him to enjoy himself. She wanted him to experience moments of joy and happiness before delving into the serious matters that awaited them. It was her way of providing him with a temporary respite from the weight of their mission.

They reached the abandoned mill that Naina and her family used for 'punishment' purposes. Rajveer looked around, bewildered and raised his eyebrow at Naina. In response, she smiled warmly and gently grasped his hand, guiding him towards the mill's interior. After reaching the farthest corner of the mill, Naina crouched down and swiftly unveiled a hidden hatch, exposing a concealed passage. Intrigued, Rajveer stole a glance inside, only to discover a winding staircase spiraling downwards.
(Something like this.)
Without hesitation, Naina took the lead, urging Rajveer to follow her as they embarked on their descent. Their footsteps echoing through the dimly lit passageway. As they descended further, the air grew cooler, and the ambiance became enveloped in an air of mystery. After what felt like an eternity of walking, they finally emerged from the underground passage into a spacious old world office room.
The room was adorned with aged wooden furniture, bookshelves filled with dusty volumes, and a large oak desk at the center. The wooden décor added to the vibe. There was no window in this room for sunlight to filtered throughs. Naina glanced at Rajveer with anticipation, her eyes gleaming with excitement as she gestured toward the surroundings.
(Something like this.)
"What is this place?" inquired Rajveer, casting his gaze around the room.
"This is our covert sanctuary," Naina responded, her eyes twinkling with a mix of excitement and secrecy. "In case humans become suspicious of us, we can seek refuge here for a while before resurfacing. Now that you know its location, you can also seek shelter here in case of an emergency. Although I must warn you, there's no food stored down here," she added, offering him an apologetic smile.
Rajveer nodded, absorbing the information. "So... we're alone here? That means we won't be bothered for a while?" he asked, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.
Naina, who had been setting up a laptop she had concealed beneath the desk, paused upon hearing the change in Rajveer's tone. She turned to face him, her curiosity piqued by his expression. Naina couldn't help but be amused by his mischief as she teasingly reminded him, "Didn't you DEMAND to watch the confessions?"
Rajveer rolled his eyes playfully before closing the distance between them. With a firm grip on Naina's waist, he gently turned her to face him. His voice carried a hint of seduction as he replied, "Watching the confessions won't change a thing if we do it later."
Caught in the enchantment of the moment, Naina's laughter mingled with anticipation as she placed her hands on Rajveer's chest. As the magnetic pull between Rajveer and Naina intensified, their eyes locked in a passionate gaze. The air crackled with desire, enveloping them in a world of their own. In a moment of shared vulnerability, Rajveer leaned in, capturing Naina's lips in a tender, lingering kiss.
Their lips danced in perfect synchronization, their connection growing deeper with each passing second. Rajveer's heart raced, and he found himself breathless, overwhelmed by the intensity of their love. Instinctively, he sought solace in Naina's neck, moving his lips along the curve, planting gentle kisses that sent shivers down her spine. Naina tilted her head back, basking in the sensations that coursed through her. She closed her eyes, surrendering to the intoxicating mixture of Rajveer's kisses and the soft caress of his breath against her skin. A soft sigh escaped her lips, encouraging him to explore further.
With a tender touch, Rajveer delicately moved Naina's hair to one side, revealing her enticing shoulder. His lips traced a path from her neck to her shoulder, leaving a trail of feathery kisses. Naina's body responded to his affectionate gestures, aching for more of his gentle touch. Driven by a surge of desire, Rajveer gently turned Naina around, facing her bare back adorned by a mesmerizing backless blouse. He marveled at the elegance and vulnerability in that moment, the allure of her exposed skin beckoning him.
Leaning in, he pressed his lips against the delicate canvas of Naina's bare back, savoring the taste of her skin as he snuck his hand under her saree to grab her by her bare waist. Feeling the intensity of their desire grow, Rajveer's kisses gradually descended lower, tracing a tantalizing path along Naina's spine. The warmth of his lips against her skin sent waves of electric sensations throughout her body, causing her to shudder with pleasure. Naina turned around to face Rajveer, her eyes filled with a fiery passion that mirrored his own. The room seemed to fade away, leaving only the two of them locked in an embrace of love and longing. Without hesitation, their lips met once again, merging in a fervent dance of desire.
Their kisses deepened, conveying unspoken words of love and longing. Rajveer's hands explored the contours of Naina's body, his touch igniting a cascade of sensations that coursed through her. With every caress, their connection grew stronger, their souls entwining in a moment of pure intimacy.
As their embrace intensified, Rajveer gently lifted Naina off her feet, carrying her towards a nearby couch, their lips never parting. With a tender ease, he lowered her onto the soft cushions, their bodies molding together in perfect harmony.
The room became a sanctuary of passion as their exploration continued, their hands exploring every inch of each other's bodies with an unquenchable thirst. Naina's fingers traced a path along Rajveer's exposed chest, while his lips trailed a trail of fiery kisses along her collarbone.
The world around them faded into insignificance as they surrendered to the raw passion that consumed them. Time stood still as they indulged in their intimate connection, their bodies entwined in a symphony of love. In that secluded haven, their desires unfolded freely, kindling a flame that burned brighter with every touch and every kiss.
After moments of pure bliss, Naina and Rajveer reluctantly eased themselves apart, their breaths mingling in the air as they shared one last lingering kiss. With a contented smile, they settled onto the couch, their bodies nestled close together, basking in the afterglow of their passionate encounter. As they caught their breath, their fingers gently interlocked, relishing the comforting touch that conveyed both love and reassurance. The room was filled with a serene ambiance, a sanctuary where they could simply be themselves without judgment or pretense. Lost in the warmth of their embrace, they reveled in the peaceful silence that enveloped them. Time seemed to slow down, allowing them to savor the precious moments of togetherness before reality beckoned them once again.
Rajveer's heartbeat finally steadied, prompting him to comment, "I owe Cadet Ghai a big thank you."
Curiosity piqued, Naina inquired, "Why is that?"
"Because it was her suggestion for you to wear this saree, right?" he reminded her.
A mischievous smirk played on Naina's lips as she responded, "So, does that mean all it takes for you to lose yourself in romance is me wearing a saree?"
Rajveer shamelessly replied, "Yes, absolutely." Naina burst into laughter at his unabashed statement.
Eventually, they reluctantly rose from the couch, readjusting their slightly disheveled clothing with gentle, loving gestures. Naina's fingers tenderly brushed a stray lock of hair away from Rajveer's forehead, her eyes filled with affection as she admired the man before her. Rajveer gave her a sheepish smile as he helped pin Naina's pallu back to her blouse. In his excitement, he had unpinned in rather roughly. Once they were done, they returned to the desk where the laptop awaited them, the reason they had sought out this secret hideaway. Side by side, they settled into their seats, their fingers entwined as they prepared to watch the videos they had come for.
As the screen flickered to life, their focus shifted from their intimate connection back to the mission that had brought them here. Together, they delved into the confessions, fully aware that even in the midst of their passionate love, the world outside remained in need of their attention. Hand in hand, their hearts still intertwined, Naina and Rajveer faced the screen with determination and a renewed sense of purpose. The secrets they were about to uncover would not only impact their own lives but also have far-reaching consequences beyond their hidden sanctuary.
Naina went to the file she had saved. "This is Bhargav's confession." she stated before playing the video. Rajveer watched a disheveled Major Bhargav appeared on the screen. Rajveer watched eagerly as Bhargav started speaking.
"I am Major Bhargav, the arresting officer in Captain Naveen Singh Ahluwalia's case," he began, his voice trembling. "Two days prior to Captain Naveen's arrest, my superiors, Colonel Bajaj and Colonel Handa, informed me about the spy sent by our boss, codenamed Eagle. The spy was tasked with stealing nuclear triggers during the Alumni night. If she failed in her mission, her backup plan was to frame Captain Naveen. I was instructed to ensure his arrest and do everything in my power to prove him a traitor. In return, I was promised a promotion," Bhargav divulged, his words pouring out in a rush.
Rajveer's gaze remained fixed on Bhargav as the weight of the information sank in. Though he had been aware of the underlying truths, hearing them spoken aloud by Bhargav struck a deep chord within him. Each word echoed in his mind, the weight of the betrayal and the gravity of the situation becoming all too real. His breath caught in his throat, and a mix of emotions flooded his being. Anger, frustration, and a profound sadness intertwined, forming a tumultuous storm within him. He had thought he had come to terms with the truth, but hearing it recounted by someone involved in the events brought a fresh wave of pain crashing over him.
Bhargav continued, "The spy had managed to ensnare Captain Naveen through a honey trap. He was deeply in love with her and placed his trust blindly. So, when he discovered that it was his lover who had orchestrated his downfall, he was left in shock, unable to defend himself. Seizing the opportunity, we swiftly court-martialed him before he could gather his wits. I was not involved in his subsequent imprisonment. However, I heard from my boss that Captain Naveen was being slowly poisoned and was on the brink of being killed during his transfer to another prison. But somehow, he managed to escape. When our men eventually found him, he was already deceased... a bullet wound piercing his chest. My duty then was to transport his body back home," he concluded.
Unable to contain his emotions any longer, Rajveer's hands clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white. The impact of the situation hit him with full force, shattering the façade of composure he had desperately tried to maintain.
Naina, sensing his turmoil, reached out and gently placed her hand on Rajveer's, offering a grounding touch. Her presence provided a semblance of solace amidst the storm of emotions that threatened to overwhelm him. With a supportive glance, she silently conveyed that they would face this together, that he was not alone.
A female voice questioned Bhargav, "Why was Captain Naveen singled out? It appears that your superiors were determined to eliminate him," her tone laced with curiosity.
"Our boss, Eagle, uses KMA as a front for his illicit weapons trafficking network. Col. Bajaj oversees the purchases and sales, while an unidentified insider handles the day-to-day operations. Captain Naveen grew suspicious and was getting dangerously close to exposing the truth. Our boss suspected that Captain Naveen had discovered his true identity," Bhargav revealed, his voice filled with a mix of fear and resignation.
The female voice pressed, "And who is this insider?" her voice filled with anticipation.
Regretfully, Bhargav shook his head. "I do not know," he admitted, regretfully.
Rajveer took a deep breath, willing himself to regain his composure. He locked eyes with Naina, a determined glint shining through the turmoil. This revelation only strengthened his resolve to seek justice and uncover the truth that had been concealed for far too long.
To distract himself a little, he asked, "Who was the girl questioning Bhargav? I thought you interrogated him personally,"
"I plan on broadcasting this videos once all the mastermind of this group, Eagle is captured. I don't want anyone to recognize my voice or get any link to my family. That's why i autotuned my voice," she explained.
"Good idea," Rajveer gave her a proud smile and patted on her shoulder.
"Let's watch Col. Handa's confession," Naina suggested.
***** Trigger alert. Blood, gore and torture would be mentioned in some places. Skip ahead.***
Rajveer nodded and leaned forwards to watch the next confession. The next video started and he could hear that female voice (Naina's autotuned voice) questioning Dr. Ritu and Col. Handa.
"Why did you join Eagle and his anti-national organization?"
Rajveer watched how stubbornly Dr. Ritu and Col. Handa. stayed silent. But then someone threw boiling gold on their bodies, making them scream in pain.
The female voice yelled angrily, "ANSWER ME!"
"Money... and power." Col. Handa answered, gasping.
"Money and luxurious... to restart my life wherever I wanted." Ritu chocked out, tears streaming down her face from the burning sensation on her body.
"Why did Eagle trap Captain Naveen?" the female voice asked them the same question she had asked Major Bhargav.
"Captain Naveen... he discovered Eagle's utilization of KMA for his illegal weapon trafficking network. Moreover, Captain Naveen had uncovered Eagle's true identity," he explained. "Our men tried to locate the evidence, but the captain was clever. He concealed the proof within an Army Redbox. We fabricated the story of its theft, with the intention of retrieving it and replacing the evidence with something else. It was then that Eagle deemed Captain Naveen too dangerous to remain free," Col. Handa explained.
Rajveer gasped loudly. His grasp on Naina's hand tightened, intertwining their fingers in a steadfast union. In that moment, a renewed sense of purpose surged through him, igniting a fire within his heart. They would not let the betrayal and deception go unanswered. They would unearth the hidden layers of the conspiracy, piece by piece, until the full picture was revealed.
"Army Redbox," Rajveer whispered, making Naina give him a confused look. "Let's finish watching the whole thing then I'll tell you," he assured her before refocusing on the video.
The female voice started in a firm tone, "I am aware that Col. Bajaj oversees the purchases and sales within Eagle's illicit weapon trafficking operations, and there is an insider managing the day-to-day affairs. Who is this insider?" she questioned.
"It's Major Pravat Nair... Major Nair is the insider for Eagle's illegal weapon trafficking business," Col. Handa disclosed, the weight of the revelation hanging heavy in the air.
Rajveer's frustration erupted in a torrent of curses, his anger burning bright. "I will not find peace until he faces true justice," he vowed vehemently.
Naina's unwavering commitment shone through her determined smile as she reassured him, "I promise, Rajveer. Your wish will be fulfilled."
In a shattered voice, Rajveer confided in Naina, his words laced with disbelief and anguish. "Naina, Nair always held a grudge against Naveen and me. I had always perceived him as an upright officer who simply found our carefree attitudes irksome. I never fathomed that he could be one of the traitors."
Naina, offering her unwavering support, urged him not to succumb to despair. Her voice resonated with strength and determination. "Do not falter just yet, Captain Rajveer. The true identity of the mastermind behind all of this remains unrevealed," she reminded him, her words carrying a mysterious undertone. Rajveer couldn't help but notice a peculiar gleam in her eyes, as if she held knowledge beyond what she had shared with him. It stirred a sense of curiosity within him, leaving him to wonder if there were hidden depths to their unfolding mission that she had yet to disclose. Rajveer refocused on the video, deciding to ask Naina about it later.
The female voice questioned, "Who is Eagle? What is his real name?"
A surge of anticipation coursed through Rajveer as his eyes widened in sheer astonishment. The possibility of finally uncovering Eagle's true identity consumed his thoughts, igniting a flicker of hope within him. "Are we really going to learn Eagle's real identity today?" he pondered, his mind racing with possibilities and unanswered questions. The weight of the impending revelation hung in the air, infusing the moment with a mix of trepidation and excitement. Rajveer braced himself, ready to delve into the depths of the truth, as he prepared to confront the enigmatic figure known as Eagle.
"He'll kill me if I tell you," Col. Handa to say his bosses name.
"The female voice told him emotionlessly, "You're going die today either way," Col. Handa still wasn't budging.
Rajveer winced as a few seconds later Dr. Ritu's painful scream echoed through the video. He observed how Col. Handa's eyes widened in fear as Dr. Ritu started making a gurgling sound after a while. As Rajveer had seen the photos of their dead bodies, it didn't take him long to understand what was happening.
"Did you...?" he trailed off, not knowing how to ask this question.
"Yes, I poured boiling hot gold down her throat," Naina replied. A wide satisfaction shone in her eyes.
Rajveer didn't know how he was supposed to react to her blunt confession. While he was getting used to the supernatural aliments of his girlfriend, he didn't know how he was supposed to get used to her murderous nature. He decided not to think on this matter for now and refocused on the video.
In a tone dripping with arrogance, the female voice spoke, its words laced with a sense of determination. "Will you reveal the truth willingly, or must I resort to the same methods with you?" she challenged, her voice resonating with an unwavering resolve. Her words carried an unmistakable warning, a reminder that she would stop at nothing to unearth the elusive truth. There was an air of authority and confidence in her voice as she asserted, "Remember this, Col. Handa, I am relentless in my pursuit of the truth. Whether by fair means or foul, I will uncover the secrets that lie hidden within the shadows."
"I'll answer," Col. Handa told her fearfully, "The main mastermind of Eagle gang... the renowned Eagle is... Defense minister, Lala Gehlot," he revealed.
"What nonsense!" the female voice argued.
"It's true. He even killed his college best friend, Major Raghav Shikhawat and his whole family because Major Raghav found out his truth. Later when he found out that Major's son, Rajveer was alive, he raised the boy. He wanted to know if the boy knew anything. But until Captain Rajveer started investigating his best friend, Captain Naveen's case, Lala sir had no problem with the boy," Col. Handa continued, "But when Captain Rajveer started looking deeply in this matter, he ordered us to kill him off if he got too close to his real identity,"
Rajveer sat frozen, his eyes widened in utter disbelief, as the shocking revelation pierced through his soul. The weight of the truth crashed upon him like a tidal wave, threatening to consume his every thought and emotion. The revelation that his parents' murder was not a terrorist attack, but a meticulously planned scheme orchestrated by his own godfather, Lala Gehlot, shattered the very foundation of trust he had placed in the man. His mind reeled, desperately trying to comprehend the unthinkable. Lala Gehlot, the person whom Rajveer had held in the highest regard, had betrayed him and his family in the most heinous manner possible. The pain of this betrayal gnawed at his core, sending shockwaves of anguish and disbelief coursing through his veins.
The realization that Lala had not only orchestrated the murder of Rajveer's parents but also harbored intentions to end his own life sent tremors through Rajveer's being. The depth of this betrayal struck him to the core, leaving him shaken and questioning everything he once believed to be true.
Rajveer's voice trembled with a mix of confusion and raw emotion as he questioned Naina, his eyes brimming with unshed tears. "Did you have suspicions about this all along? Is that why you kept warning me not to reveal that I was still investigating Naveen?" he asked, his voice tinged with vulnerability.
Naina met Rajveer's gaze, her expression filled with empathy and understanding. Taking a deep breath, she began to explain, her voice laced with a mix of sorrow and determination. "During the mentorship program, Thomas had alerted us that someone from the ministry was involved in the conspiracy. That revelation made me cautious, and I started considering every minister as a potential suspect. When I discovered Lala Gehlot's close relationship with you, something within me kept sounding an alarm. It was a nagging intuition that urged me to be cautious," she revealed.
Her words carried the weight of the burden she had carried alone, as she continued, "That's why I insisted that you lie to everyone, concealing the fact that you were still investigating. I didn't want to put you in harm's way without concrete evidence. I didn't have proof to confirm that your own godfather was indeed Eagle, the mastermind behind it all. How could I have told you such a devastating truth without concrete evidence?" Naina's voice quivered with a mix of regret and apology as she laid bare her reasons for keeping this truth hidden.
Rajveer's expression softened as he listened to Naina's explanation, his anger subsiding, replaced by a complex blend of emotions. He understood the difficult position she had been in, torn between protecting him and seeking justice. The weight of her responsibility and the absence of conclusive proof became evident to him, prompting him to release a sigh of acceptance.
"No, Naina, I'm not angry with you," Rajveer responded, his voice filled with a mix of gratitude and sorrow. "You were right to be cautious. We needed to have solid evidence before confronting such a dangerous truth. I appreciate your concern for my safety, even if it meant keeping this painful revelation from me. We are in this together, and I trust your judgment. Let us focus on gathering the evidence we need to bring Lala Gehlot to justice," he concluded, his eyes reflecting the unwavering bond of trust that persisted between them, even in the face of unimaginable deceit.
In this moment of reckoning, Rajveer's resolve hardened. The pain of the past would fuel his determination to uncover the full extent of Lala Gehlot's treachery. No longer blinded by misplaced trust, Rajveer vowed to seek the truth, to unveil the depths of the conspiracy that had claimed the lives of his loved ones and threatened his own existence. The shocking revelation had torn away the veil of naivety, leaving Rajveer with a newfound clarity. The battle for justice had become deeply personal, and he would stop at nothing to expose Lala Gehlot's sinister machinations and ensure that he faced the consequences of his malevolent actions.
