Nick and abhi reached their room. Nick was all quite all along this was not like him at all.

Abhi:"what you sick or something? So quite "he said in a mocking tone.

Nick:" No, just tired"trying to manage.

Abhi:"hard working the first day. Not like you. Saw any girl you like. "Winking at him.

Nick immediately blushed though he tryed to hide it.

Nick:" No"

Abhi:"really. Fine lets go for a walk. "

Nick:"hey, it's almost time for lights out. Trying to get me into trouble. "

Abhi:"what? Neither of us are cadets. You are a commisioned officer remember. "

Nick:"fine. Don't you dare doing some cupid work. "

Abhi:"fine.fine.i'll keep my bow here. "Making a dramatic bow.

They walked a little outside. Lights were out.

Nick and abhi decieded to return. In the way they saw a cadet scared.

Nick:" Hey cadet what are you doing ? It's past lights out".

Nick and abhi went near the cadet. They were able to get a good look at the cadet. The cadet wad scared. Holding a bag as if he was trying to escape.

Nick:" Where do you think you are going? "In a angry athoritive tone.

Cadet:"sir... "

Nick:"speak up"in the same athoritive to the cadet.

Cadet:" I am sorry sir I am not fit for the academy. The punishment the harsh routine. I can't handle it. That's why"the cadet said almost dropping

Nick:"and you think running away would solve your problems."in a dangerous callm tone raising his eyebrow.

Cadet:"no sir it's that I am not built for it. "Trembling in fear.

Nick:" Oh you think all of us were born ready for it. Pain is a teacher if you try to run away from it. You are the one at loss. A diamond shines the more it's strikes. Noone would have even let you here if you don't have potential. This fear is something that kills you. And if you run away now. The question what if will haunt you till your death. Give it some time you'll get ussed to it. "He calmly explained to the cadet while abhi was just looking around like nothing bis happening here.

Nick:" What now? Still gonna runn away. If yes come to the office I'll get you the execution letter. "

Cadet:"no, sir".

Nick smirked a little and asked, "now let us come for punishment. Who is your TO"

Cadet was taken aback by the word punishment.

Cadet:"cap.Valarmathi mam, sir"with fear ambient on his eyes.

Nick was shocked to hear that the sweet mathi mam who would argue with ram sir to reduce the drills pushed a cadet to the extent of running away and also surprised at the fact that mathi mam was a training officer now.

Nick:"when did this happen? "He asked abhi.

Abhi:" Last year after Abdul uncle's depature. You have a lot to catch up here "he sain in a mock mature tone.

Nick:" I'll inform her tomorrow. Go back to your dorm"

The cadet went to his dorm as instructed. Abhi went to his room. And Nick to his room.
