Mumbai,

It was a long tiring day for her..A whole day, a long hectic day at lab made her damn tired & completely worn out..though none of the new cases were reported, she just had to fix some old reports but still she was tired..it was normal routine job which she was practicing from years but from the last few days rather from last few weeks she was abound to get tired..not due to the work but becoz of sudden unexpected change in events which took place randomly in her life..or to be more specific in their life..which made her tired emotionally rather physically.

In this tired state she completed her whole kitchen & other chores, after that she made sure that all the door were cross-checking the security she finally headed towards her room..but then she suddenly stopped in her tracks & turned the other way & started walking towards the other room which was in the opposite direction of her room..she opened the knob of the door & slightly pushing it to have a look at him..she stopped at the door..a smile crept on her face from the corner of her lips after seeing him sleeping ..she made her way towards the bed & sat at the edge of it…

She glanced at the way he was sleeping, indeed he just looked innocent & cute; though she was tired but after watching him, her tiredness just got disappeared,she smiled at herself while adjusting the blanket on him without disturbing him adjusting the blanket her gaze fall on his specs which he was still wearing ,she nodded looking at his innocent face, & quietly removed the specs from his dark face without trying to wake him up, she removed it & kept them at the side by table..but as soon as the specs were removed something similar looking caught his eye..the face!

The Face which she was witnessing now was quite similar to HIM..the face that made her heart skipped everytime when she used to see him..that face that made her forget all the worries..that face that made her to fell in love with HIM..the face with whom she was in love deeply..& now-a days that face which her eyes were longing for....she let out a sigh..her shoulders slumped in downward direction like a warrior who has been defeated in the battle..She once again glanced at the face & smiled wryly,she leaned forward towards him & gently laid a kiss on his off the bedside lamp, she walked out of the room..but before existing from that room she glanced at him & walked away from his room as early as possible, & made sure that she closed the door behind her so that no-one notices her tears getting escaped..after all she was not a cry baby, & she made sure that she never cry unnecessarily over small things..she quickly headed towards her room shutting the door behind her, she made her way towards the bed & laid on it, hugging her pillow she cried out in it..so that no-one hears her cries..she pressed herself against the pillow to stop the muffling sound from escaping from her room..

little did she knew that she is being watched by one pair of eyes, suddenly she felt someone tugging her t-shirt, she quickly cleared her tears & watched in that direction & was surprised to see him there..in front of her a 8 yr old boy was standing wearing a blue shirt & red pants..with a round shaped specs resting on his nose..

She cried out his name which was just above a whisper, "Adi" she pulled him close to her in a hug..they boy who was called Adi by her also hugged her back & allowed her to cry so that she could feel better..after some mins when she started feeling better & her crying was stopped, that boy separated him from the hug & cleared her tears with his soft tiny hands..

" Don't cry Tarika...aunty.."

Tarika looked at him through her teary eyes..when Adi looked those eyes he felt a pang in his heart, he felt like his heart had been cut into two..

Adi (thinking) Oh god..I just hate myself, when she cries this awful..please don't cry..if you continue with this I'm sure that I will never forgive myself..for the rest of my life..

Adi: Tarika aunty..aap kyu ro rahi hain? (though he knew the reason but still he asked her)

Tarika: kuch nhi Adi..tum jao jakar so jao..

Adi: nhi aunty..bataiye na..main aapka friend huin na..

Tarika smiled at him : kuch nhi Adi..bas kissiki yaad aarahi thi..

Adi: Abhijeet uncle ki? (tarika nodded slightly) don't worry aunty woh aajaynega..

Tarika: hope ki woh jaldi aajaye..(& once again new tears started swelling up in her eyes..she quickly brushed the tears aside) Adi..kafi raat hogai hain..chalo tum sone jao..

Adi: okay aunty..(& adi started heading towards the room, but before moving out he glanced at her direction..)Tarika..I'mean Tarika aunty he will be back..(he moved out)

Tarika : hope he will come back..(& he took a frame which was kept at the side table..she moved her hand from that frame, it was a picture of Abhijeet holding her close to him which was clicked during one of there beach visit ..she hugged it tightly..rested her head at the pillows & closed her eyes, hoping that Abhijeet will return back soon..
