She entered her house with a smile dancing over her lips.

" Aa gayi.. Kitni der laga di beta, mey kitna pareshan thi tumhare liye pata hey?" Tarika's mother asked with concern.

"Kya ma.. Meyne apko bola tha na mey aa jaungi ap pareshan mat ho.. Phir bhi? Apko pata hey na kal mera match hey to bas usiki vajah se der ho gai" Tarika said.

"Accha thik hey, per tu ayi keyse? Itni rat ko auto ya taxi milna to bohot mushkil hey." Tarika's mother asked while giving her a glass of water.

A blushing smile crept on Tarika's face remembering the sweet him ride with Abhijeet.

"Kahan kho gayi Tarika? Mey puch rahi thi tum ayi keyse?" Tarika's mother shook jer lightly.

"Jee.. Jee wo mey.. Mey apne do.. dost ke sath ayi" Tarika stammered due to loss of words.

"Accha thik hey ab jaldi jake fresh hoke aao fir khana khake jaldi so jana taki subah jaldi uth sako." Tarika's mother said.

Nodding her head, Tarika went to her room to get fresh and came out after half an hour wearing night suit. She made her way towards dining table to have dinner. Whole family had dinner in light chit chat discussing about tomorrow's match and then spread to their respective rooms after bidding good night to each other.

Next morning arouse with a pleasant atmosphere. Tarika came out of the bathroom after having shower. She wore a yellow T-shirt and blue jeans and sat on her dressing table. She reached up to fix her hairs with a clutcher but stopped remembering something and left them free with a clip on right side. After applying a light make up,she looked herself in the mirror. A pink flush crept on face as she remembered how he stopped her from looping her hairs.

Wo aayenge na..? She asked herself.

She packed her uniform and other things in her bag and came down to hall. After having light breakfast and taking blessings from elders made her way towards basketball court.

Here in the CID bureau,

Everyone had started their pending work as no case was reported today but Abhijeet seemed impatient. He was looking at his wrist watch with regular intervals. Daya who was observing him continuously came towards him.

"Kya hua boss? Bar bar ghadi ku dekh rahe ho? Kahi jana hey kya?" Daya asked curiously.

Abhijeet snapped out of his thoughts with Daya's arrival.

"Ku.. kuch nahi yar, mey to bas ye soch raha tha ki ACP sir ab tak ku nahi aye?" Abhijeet said once again looking at his watch.

"Kya boss tumhe to pata hey na ki aj sir hq gaye hey meeting ke liye. Unhe ane me der hogi. Aisa kya kaam hey tumhe ACP sir se ki bar bar ghadi dekhe ja rahe ho?" Daya asked suspiciously.

"Wo.. wo kuch khas nahi bas aise hi.." Abhijeet tried to keep his face normal.

"Ye ACP sir ko bhi aj hi jana tha kya.. Pata nahi wo kab aayenge.. Mey unhe leave ke liye kab puchunga, aur kab match dekhne pohchunga.. Wahan Tarikaji mera wait kar rahi hongi..". Abhijeet blurred irritatingly.

On basketball court,

People started coming and occupying the front seats. Both team members were gathered with black/yellow fitted shorts and sleeveless sports vest. Tarika was giving final instructions to her team. Her eyes were continuously scanning through the mop of people for him.

"Ye abhi tak aye ku nahi? Thodi der me match shuru ho jae ga." Tarika looked at her watch. "Agar wo na aye to..? Shayad unhe kam aa gaya hoga isliye nahi aye honge." Tarika convinced herself and went towards her team halfheartedly.

Soon the match got started and both the teams arrived at court. Tarika once again swayed her eyes through the mop With a hope, but he was nowhere..! The referee called captains of both the teams for handshake and Tarika came forward offended.

The Referee whistled to start the game. The opposite member dribble the ballwith her right hand. The sound of the players' shoes as they run across the court, the shrieks, the yells and cries of victory and defeat filled up in the environment.

The wisecrack distracted Tarika for a moment and she missed the pass. 'What the hell..' one of Tarika's teammate screamed. The rival team took the ball, passed it to the other end and scored a basket.

Tarika cursed herself. How could she do such a mistake.. The game again started and within few minutes opposite team make another goal. Tarika's team played well individually but didn't play well as a team. Tarika had missed the ball two times and her team was really angry with her. Her state of mind was far from the game.

The referee announced a break at the ten minute mark. The teams led 12-5. Everyone walked out towards their bags. Tarika felt drained and exhausted. She wiped her face and neck with a towel and once again glanced over the croud. Getting nowhere what she her eyes wanted to see, she sighed deeply.

'Kya ho gaya hey muse.. Ku mey apne game pe concentrate nahi kar pa rahi hun? Aisa to pehle kabhi nahi hua.. Unkacyahan na hona muse itna affect ku kar raha hey?... Nahi muse dhyan se khelna hoga, varna meri vajah se hamari puri team ki mehnat pani me mil jaegi.' Deciding to his mind she huddled with her team, figured out their strategy for the next half.

The game restarted. The referee whistled and Tarika dribble the ball. Opponents surrounded her and she passed the ball to her teammate. She then signalled to three of her teammates to cover specific opponents and jogged across the court. At onc she passed near the end of court and her gaze fall on one person panting heavily due to fast running. They made eye contact and world around them stopped at the moment.

Yes.. He came to her..

Both were Looking at each other without blinking for complete one minute. Then Abhijeet flashed her his most charming smile and she smiled too forgetting that she was on court. Abhijeet gained the situation and signaled her by eyes to continue the game. She nodded her head and joined her group. The all situation took two and half minutes and Tarika again started the game with full enthusiasm.

She caught the ball from her point shooter and took a difficult shot from beyond three point line.

Whoosh! The ball went through the basket. The crowd cheered. Tarika looked up towards Abhijeet who was clapping gave her thumbs up sign as they looked at each other. Tarika smiled broadly and resumed the game.

The match ended up 21-15. The opponents had lost, but still kept pace with other team. After formal congratulation session tarika came out of mob, wiped her face with a towel and picked up her blue Nike kitbag. A few boys tried to make eye contact with her but she ignored them and started searching for Abhijeet.

As she walked someone suddenly appeared there and hugged her with "congrats jaan...!" Tarika happily hugged him back...
