It is a late night, Abhi busy in preparing a case report in his room with Tarika who is also assisting him in attaching forensic details of the case.

Abhi - Tarika us chemical ka naam batao.

No response from her side.

Abhi turns his gaze towards her and a smile crept in his lips seeing her sleeping in the sitting position with her head on the table and her hand hanging down. Abhi looked her without blinking his eyes . he moved his fingers on her forehead and tugged a streak of hair behind her ear which is falling on her eyes. He without disturbing her sleep carry her in his arms and made her lie on bed carefully. She turned in sleep and her hands searching something near her. Abhi nodded disappointingly and placed a pillow near her as he knows her habit of hugging a teddy while sleeping.. he sat beside her looking at her face , many thoughts roaming his mind.

Pov - u know what jaan , I love you more than anything in this world. . I would like to share my life with you. But, But do you have same feeling on me ? would you like to live with me as my love , as my wife , as my life. I am dying to know your thoughts but how ? should I ask you directly ? how will you react ? anger ? surprise ? happy ? sad ? this is the one thing I cannot understand from you. What will I do if you deny ? could I able to survive. ? what if you stop seeing or speaking with me ? no jaan , I fear of this thought too. Am not this much strong Tarika. Haan senior inspector Abhijeet is strong enough to handle the criminals but Abhi is not strong jaan. Abhi needs you all through his life. I will be happy if you accept the relationship but trust me I don't have the courage to hear the denial from you. I cannot see hate for me in your eyes. I always need you beside me. Always.. Abhi is nothing without Tarika. I love you Tarika.

By now his eyes welled up with tears. He leaned on her and kissed her temple. He was about to move back when he heard a murmur from her.

Tarika - ( murmuring ) I love you Abhi.

Abhi is surprised as what he heard is true. Does he heard it right or his imagination ? he kept his ears near her mouth to hear it again but she is in deep sleep..

Pov - god what did she say now ? I love you Abhi . right ? yes I heard it. I heard it from her mouth. It cannot be my imagination. Not at all. I am damn sure she said it.

He is very curious to know what she said. So he calls her by name to woke her up.

Abhi - Tarika ? Tarika ? oh god yeh ladki .. Tarika get up.

Tarika - irritated in sleep , maa please thodi der aur….

Abhi - Tarika maa nahi main hu Abhi.. utho yaar jaldi.

But she is not ready to woke from her sleep.

Tarika – Abhi sone do mujhe.. don ' t disturb my dream. Abi abi ek Raj kumar araha hai white horse mein …

Abhi - confusingly , raj kumar ? kis desh ki Raj kumar ?

Tarika - still answering in sleep, malum nahi . but he is very handsome. awww he is lifting me…

Abhi - burning, Tarika listen, get up first … he made her sit by holding her shoulders.

Tarika - opening her eyes in irritation, kya hai Abhi ? why do you disturb me ?

Abhi - abi thodi pal pehele tum kya kehrahi thi ?

Tarika - sleepy tone, kya kehrahi thi ?

Abhi - tch, tarika open your eyes. Patted her cheeks.

Tarika - making her voice like crying, yeh kya karrahe ho tum Abhi . mujhe neend aati hai. sone do pleaseee.

Abhi - pehele mere sawal ka jawab do.. phir tu sone chalo. Main tujhe disturb nahi karunga. Haan pakka. Ab batao what did you say ?

Tarika - falling on his shoulders sleeping , what did I say ?

Abhi - argggg. Tarika ? again patting her cheek, Tarika ? arey ek baar kaho na..

Tarika - repeating his line, ek baar kaho na….

Abhi - slaps his own head., pagal..

Tarika - pagal….

Abhi - haan haan sahi hai. main pagal hi hu. Tu so jao. Ache neend aati hai tujhe mere neend ko kharab karke.. huh ! sapna mein Raj kumar . pata nahi kis bewakoof insaan ko dekhraha tha sapna mein. ( Tarika pov - tu hai wo.. ) he looked at his own shoulder where she is sleeping peacefully . so jao. Bahut sukoon se sojao. Main hu na pagal sula deta hun tujhe. He patted her slowly where she adjusted herself comfortable on his shoulder. Aaj mere neend hogaya.. isey dekho huh ! koi parwa nahi mereliye. Arey ab main kaise pata karun ? he again tried, Tarika ? but no response… he understood it is of no use now in waking her. He made her comfortable on bed and covered her with quilt with a soft good night.

Abhi - to himself, Abhi very bad night yaar. he went near the window and look outside in dark.

Here Tarika half open her one eye slowly and saw him near the window looking blankly outside. Now she opens her both the eyes and smiles to herself.. pov - pehele tu batao tumari dil ki baat Phir main batati hun .. I know you love me but yeh baat ko tumari mun se suna chata hun main. I will wait for you. lekin lagta nahi hai yeh buddhu ram tho kuch bolne ki tayyar hai. bechari darta hai. hmmm main bataun kya pehele ?

She again pretended like murmuring, I love you Abhi.. saying she closed her eyes immediately like sleeping.

The words fell on Abhi s ears to which he turned in less than a fraction of second looking at her shocked.

Abhi - yeh phirse.. iss baar pakka hai. I heard her clearly.. he moved to her and again called her. But she pretended like she is in deep sleep.

Abhi - now in a cute angry tone, yeh theek nahi hai Tarika. tum mujhe bahut satarahe ho. You will face the consequence of this… dekhna tum.

He again sat beside her and took her hands in his , Tarika mere jaan hai na tu… batao yaar. Ek baar sirf ek baar please Taru.

Tarika pov - awww my poor Abhi.. tum batao ek baar I love you Tarika. Simple. Batao batao..

He waited for sometime to hear any murmuring from her but she slept in real.. he too moved disappointedly to the guest room switching off the lights and closing the door.

Abhi is rolling on the bed unable to sleep. Feeling irritated he sat on the bed holding a pillow tight. Now started talking with the pillow, Tarika , jaan , mere sweet heart , mere rasagulla batao yaar. Acha theek hai tum mere kaan pe dheere bolo , hmm ? koi kuch nahi sunega.. he kept the pillow near his ears like the pillow will say something. Again looking at the pillow, tum nahi bataogi ? mat batao. Koi baat nahi. Main bhi nahi bataunga tujhe. Lekin aur kitni din aise chalega. Nahi nahi main jaldi bataunga usey. Looking at the pillow , Haan jaldi.. he hugged the pillow tightly kissing it. Ummahhhh. Good night. tum bhi so jao aur mujhe bhi sone do. He placed the pillow beside him and lied down next to it holding it closer to him.

The sun rises spreading its rays on Abhi ' s face disturbing his sleep. He rubbed open his eyes and sat up stretching his arms yawning. He came out of the guest room to find his mother and father enjoying their morning coffee ..

Abhi - good morning mumma, morning papa… he opened his room door and assuring her sleeping came back closing the room door softly.

Both - good morning.

Anita - yeh kya Abhi tum guest room se arahe ho ?

Abhi - sitting next to them, haan Tarika soraha hai mere kamre mein. Raat bahut der hogayi report ready karna ka chakkar mein.. so she slept here.. taking the paper in his hands, mumma mereliye ek cup coffee please..

Anita - hmm main lekar aati hun. She left signaling something to his husband by eyes who also assured her by eyes.

Aravind - clearing his throat, ahem , Abhi ( forwarding him an envelope ) yeh lo..

Abhi - ye kya hai papa..

Aravind - tum khud dekho..

Abhi confusingly opened the envelope and find photos of many girls..

Abhi - itni saari photos… kaun hai yeh log ?

Aravind - ismein tumari marzi se ek photo choose karo.

Abhi - main kyun choose karun ? mischievously, ahan … papa aap dusre shaadi keliye tayyari karrahe hain kya ? whispering near him, mumma ko pata hai ? don ' t worry papa main madat karta hun aapko.. Aravind eyes opened wide in shock..

Anita twisted his ears from behind him, accha aap madat karaoge papa ko . itni himmat hai kya ?

Abhi - aaah mumma. Mujhe kuch nahi malum.. aap papa se puchlijiye na. yeh dekhiye kitni saari ladkiyon ka photos.. mumma main aap ki side hun. Looking at her father, papa aap aise kaise karsakte hai . mere mumma kitni ache hai. dekhiye kitna khubsoorat aur pyaari hai wo. Aap theek nahi karrahe hain papa. Main ismein aapko koi madat nahi karunga. Haan and thats final.

Aravind - twisting his another ear, shaitan ki bacche..

Abhi - screaming, aahhhh papa aap mumma ko shaitan kehrahe hai ?

Anita glaring her husband…

Aravind - arey Abhi thodi der chup karo tum..

Abhi - kyun ? main kyun chup rahun . Mumma don leave.. its a prestige issue..

Anita - passing an angry glance to her husband, baad mein dekhlunga main aapko.

Aravind - to Abhi who is hiding his laughter, bahut hasi araha hai na haan haso aur haso bas thodi din tak . phir main hasunga tumari halat ko dekhar..

Abhi - casually sipping his coffee, kyun mere halat ko kya hona hai ?

Aravind - wo tho tumari Shaadi ki baad khud pata chal jayega

Abhi - papa not again…

Anita - Abhi bas mujhe aur nahi hoga.. yeh photos ko ache tarah se dekho . aur choose one jaldi..

Abhi - mumma nahi please . humare bich is bare mein bahut baat ho chukka hai. abi bhi mere jawab wahi hai. so please don ' t force me.

Anita - uffo yeh ladka… acha ek baat batao. Kahin kisi ladki se pyaar vyaar chakkar mein phas gayi kya ? isiliye shaadi ki mana karte ho na tum ?

Abhi - mumma aap… aise kuch bhi nahi hai.

Aravind - holding his hands, dekho Abhi aise kuch hai tho humse batao. Hum ko koi problem nahi. Us ladki ki side mein koi problem hota tho main baat karta hun uski family members ki sath. Theek hai.

Abhi - papa … took deep breath, aap dono mujhe thoda aur waqt dijiye please. I will tell my decision soon.. but till then leave this topic… please.

Anita ruffled his hair , hmm theek hai. take your time. But ek baat yaad rakho you have to get married this year for sure..

Abhi nodded.

Here , Tarika heard the whole conversation.. she is worried that his parents is ready to get him married to some one. She wiped the tears that is flowing on her cheeks and came out of the room.

Anita - good morning Tarika.

Tarika - fake smile, good morning aunty. Good morning uncle. Morning Abhi..

But Abhi noticed her lifeless voice..

Abhi - kya hua Tarika ? theek ho na tum ?

Tarika - ha haan main theek hun bilkul. Mujhe kya hoga. Acha main chaltha hun. Der horaha hai. saying she left in fast steps…

Anita understood that she heard their conversation. Actually this is what she wanted. When talking with Abhi she noticed Tarika is hearing standing near the door.. so she deliberately drag the conversation to know the reaction of Tarika.. and she got what she wanted.. she took her mobile and sent a msg to Nandini as " done. Carry on "

Tarika room,

She is sitting on the couch totally frustrated.

Nandini enters her room slowly and finds her in irritation. Guessing this to be the best time she initiated her talks,

Nandini - good morning Tarika.

Tarika - morning maa.

Nandini - coffee lekar aati hun kya ?

Tarika - tch nahi maa.

Nandini - ok. Tarika is envelope ko dekho.

Tarika understood what is coming , so coldly - don ' t tell me issmein photos hai mere shaadi keliye..

Nandini - arey tumhe kaise pata .. acha wo sab chodo . see the photos first, all guys are well settled. Tujhe Ramu uncle yaad hai usne diya hai mujhe yeh sab photos. All were looking good. Yeh dekho , iska naam Deepak hai. wo ek software engineer hai. aur yeh dekho, iska naam Neeraj . he is a very great business man in this young age. Aur haan isey dekho. Yeh tho sabse best hai. Ragav , wo bhi tumari jaise doctor . perfect match .

Tarika snatched the pictures and throw it in anger - stop it maa. Did I ask you for marriage.

Nandini - Tarika yeh hamara farz hai. look we have dream to see you settled with husband , child. Aur ismein galti kya hai ?

Tarika - galti nahi hai maa. Par mujhe shaadi nahi karna..

Nandini - kyun ?

Tarika - mere pass is sawal ka jawab nahi hai.

Nandini - jawab nahi hai or bata nahi chati thi ?

Tarika - maa please…

Nandini - nahi Tarika. Mujhe aaj is sawal ka jawab pata laga na zaroori hai. tell me why are you avoiding marriage. Are you in love with some body ?

Tarika - maa am getting late. I have to get ready for lab.

Nandini - haan jao. But pehele mere sawal ka jawab…

Tarika - maine kaha na mere pass jawab nahi hai..

Nandini - tum jhoot bolrahe ho Tarika. I know you are in love.

Tarika - irritated on the continuous question answer session, shouts - haan haan haan. Mujhe pyaar hua. Main Abhi se pyaar karta hun. Pagal ki tarah pyaar karta hun usey. Main usey shaadi karna chata hun. Zindagi baar Abhi ki sath rehna chata hun ek pal keliye bhi sahi main sirf uski sath jeena chata hun. Bas. Aapka jawab milgaya na ab. She fell on her knees crying, main Abhi se pyaar karta hun maa. Bahut pyaar karta hun. Uska bina reh nahi sakta maa .

Nandini - sat near her, tho ismein der kis baat ki..

Tarika - main usey pyaar karta hun lekin mujhe yeh nahi pata uska dil mein bhi mereliye kuch aisa feelings hai.

Nandini - tho pata karo..

Tarika - kaise ?

Nandini - arey pagal.. main aur bhabhi hai na. we will help you.

Tarika - nahi maa. Yeh itni aasan nahi hai. you know aunty is searching bride for Abhi..

Nandini - ha ha haa..

Tarika - aap has kyun rahe ho .

Nandini - tho aur kya karun.. arey mere pagal bête, wo hamara plan tha..

Tarika - plan ?

Nandini - yes. We all know that you both love each other. But little hesitation. So we planned to make you both one.

Tarika - sab aapka plan tha ?

Nandini - hmm..

Tarika - cute angry tone. Aap muje kitna dara diya pata hai mere jaan nikal di thi.

Nandini - acha jaan kaise nikal jati wo tho Abhi ki pass safe haina , kyun main sahi kehraha hu na ?

Tarika blushes and hugs her mother.

Nandini - don ' t worry. Sab theek hoga. Bas thodi din aur. Phir dekho Abhi hamesha tumari sath hoga. Husband banake.

Tarika - thank you maa..

Nandini kisses her forehead . jao ready hojao. Ab der nahi horaha hai kya ? soon.. Majnu will come now searching for his Laila.. smiling she left.

Half an hour later,

Abhi - chocolate aunty Tarika kahan hai..

Nandini - from kitchen murmuring , aagayi majnu.. aao Abhi . Laila ander hai..

Abhi - kya ?

Nandini - slapping her head, wo Tarika ander hai..

Abhi - haan theek hai. he went to her room and find it empty. Yeh kahan chali gayi.. he saw the room in poor condition. Oops.. room ki halat ko dekho. Room ya godown. Pata nahi yeh kab sudrega. He arranged all the soft toys properly , placed the pillows correctly and took the books that are spread in her bed and ordered in the shelf . her couch has some forensic report files so he took to place it in her cupboard which doors are already left open.

Same time, Tarika came out from the bathroom after bath and went near the cupboard to take her clothes out. She couldn t see Abhi as the door is open. Abhi too turned in same instant whose eyes open wide in shock and got struck on her. Tarika too shocked to see him there and looked at her own condition. She is standing with just a towel wrapping her body till just above her knee , her body still has the reminisces of water droplets. Water dripping from her wet hair. Tarika again look at him who has totally become a statue on this unexpected scene revealed infront of him just a two feet away.

Tarika - unable to tackle the situation, cover her upper part by placing her arms crossed. Abhi tum yahan kya karrahe ho.

Abhi is speechless.

Tarika - so shouts, Abhi ?

Abhi - haan.

Tarika - yahan kya karrahe ho tum ?

Abhi - main yahan .. kya .. kaise.. kaun hu main..

Tarika - confusingly, Abhi ?

Abhi - tum … kaise .. main

Tarika - Abhi kya bolrahe ho tum ?

Abhi - kya bol raha hun main ?

Tarika shakes him by shoulders, Abhi ? hosh me ho ? arey kya hogaya isko .. Abhi ? are you listening me ?

Abhi was about to fell when she hold him immediately in her arms.

Tarika - hey Abhi ? my god… he is hugging her tight. she slowly moved him and made him sit on bed. He is still in shock. She made him drink some water and patted his cheeks , Abhi are you okay ? but his eyes were still fixed on her. She realized his gaze and immediately covered her up with a night gown.

Tarika - Abhi ? slightly slapped his cheek.

Abhi jerked and looked around. Main yahan kaise aur yeh kya tum abi tak ready nahi hui ? go get ready fast. I will wait outside. He left leaving puzzled Tarika behind.

Tarika - yeh Abhi ki deemag theek kaam karraha hai na ? pagal Abhi ya main ? argggg …

Abhi who came out of the room sat on the couch holding a news paper in the way hiding his face actually hiding his smile..

Abhi - kal raat mujhe satarahe ho na tum. ab dekho tamasha.. mujhe pagal karte ho na tum . huh! Main Abhi hun. Mujhse shaitani haan .. pagal main nahi tum ho Miss Tarika Kumar. Inhaling the smell in his palms deeply, Wah what a fragrance… you are making me crazy jaan. Bahut mishkil se control kiya maine.. bas thodi din aur phir main tujhe chodunga nahi.
