BECAUSE I LOVE YOU

A/N: Guys, this is my second story. It's based on the relationship of ACP Pradyuman and his son Nakul.

CHAPTER 1: Prologue

"Sir! We've finally got him in our custody." Declared an excited Freddy.

True to his words Nakul entered the bureau flanked by Abhijeet and Daya. They proceeded towards a table to complete the formalities, but they were stopped.

"Wait!" said ACP Pradyuman. "We'll complete all the formalities in the lock-up itself."

He couldn't bear to see his own son like that.

At the other corner of the bureau, Vivek couldn't believe what he was seeing. He knew that it was possible for Daya or Abhijeet to catch him only if he wanted to get caught. He had known Nakul for only a month yet he had never seen anyone quite like him. A bit of an eccentric Nakul knew how to make a friend. It had taken him only five minutes to make Vivek, an introvert, his friend. Yes, he had been polite enough to name their relationship as friendship, but for Vivek he was more than that. He was a role model for him.

He looked at Nakul, who still had his trademark serene smile intact on his lips. Across him, even Tasha could not believe her eyes. She went to Vivek.

"What's going on? Why is here?" she asked under her breath.

"Because ACP sir thinks that he is a traitor and he's been selling our secrets to other nations." said Vivek.

"Even I know that! But why did he let them catch him?"

"I don't know."

"Vivek go to the lock-up and get the formalities completed." Daya called out.

"Right sir." And he took the clipboard containing all the documents and headed for the lock-up.

Inside the lock-up

"I can't believe that you had let them handcuff you…" said Vivek entering Nakul's lock-up and closing the door behind him.

"Well! I didn't have any engagements for quite some time so I thought about having some fun." Said Nakul as if finding the whole scenario quite amusing.

"What? You're having fun at our expense?" Vivek sounded angry.

"No. At CID'S expense" Nakul corrected him.

"And I'm a part of it." Vivek pointed out. In reply to this Nakul just gave him a smile.

A/N: Guys, in my story Nakul is not a criminal. Neither I have any intention of showing ACP Pradyuman as a villain. It's just that there exists a misunderstanding between them which has led to the deterioration of their relationship. Please drop in a review letting me know if I should continue or not.

Thanks for reading,

Take care,

ABBY.
