AN: Hello everyone. Remember me? I haven't been able to write much since almost a month because of exams and studies. But this concept was roaming around in my brain for a long time. finally I got time to pen it down today. Please give it a read.
The bureau was unusually silent when I entered. Well, there was some noise coming from the interrogation room. It was clear from the criminals screams that the interrogation had taken a serious turn. I was still pretty new to this, it had just been 5 months that I had started working here so, these kind of things still made me a little uncomfortable. I just decided to hand over the reports to Abhijeet and leave as soon as possible.
I handed the file to him, but he didn't even notice I was there. His gaze was intense. His coat off, hair all messy, his eyes were all red I was not sure whether the reason was lack of sleep or anger. But whatever it was, I had never seen him like this. It was like he was never the smiling and flirty abhijeet that I knew. Today, he was something else.
"Kuch bata nahi raha sir " Said a very sweaty nikhil coming out of the interrogation room.
Abhijeet just shook his head on hearing this. The next thing, he took off his watch, rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the interrogation room. To say he was enraged would be an understatement. By this time, I had forgotten that I had to get back to the lab. Soon, the silence of the bureau again got mixed up with the screams of the criminal and brutal sounding punches.
Exactly after 4 minutes he came out of the room.
"Record karlo statement and get that bastard out of here " He said to nikhil.
At this point, I just found my self staring at him rather shamelessly. I mean don't judge me but...he was looking like such an inviting mess. His shirt out of his jeans. His hair even more messed up now, falling on his forehead he didn't even make an effort to push them aside a little. I mean, come on just give me a reason to take my gaze away from you abhijeet.
He finally looked at me. May be because he sensed my continuous (Read shameless) gaze him. Setting the hair on his forehead with his hands, he raised his brows as if asking me if I need something else. For the first time in my life, my heart skipped a beat
It has been a year since I have started working here. I must say, what a year this has been! I have got along with the team so well, they have become my family now.
Working with Dr. salunkhe, my boss has been a one of a kind experience. The man has got like an ocean of knowledge and he loves to share it with me. Moreover, he treats and cares for me just like he would for his own daughter. He likes almost everything about me. I say almost because...well...the only thing that he doesn't like about me, is the amount of time I have started to spend with Abhijeet.
Since last 3-4 months we have been spending a lot of time together. Well, a lot more than normal colleagues do. All the team members have already assumed that we are dating. Both of us, we neither accept it nor deny it. May be making it "Official" was not our style.
I was particularly excited to read the newspaper today. Abhijeet had given an interview to them a few days back after having caught a gang which he and the team was after for a long time. After coming back from it, he told me that it was a really casual interview and it contains a surprise for me. Since that time, I was very excited to read it. I didn't get much time at home, so the first thing I did after I went to the lab is reading that. I was reading the whole interview with a proud smile on my face. Until this question about whether he is single or not came up. His answer read
"I don't think I am actually. I mean I haven't officially asked her to be my girlfriend yet, but everyone just thinks that she is my girlfriend and I don't really mind people thinking that. I am sure she'll read this. Then, let's see what happens "
my mind just went whaaaaat on this
and my heart skipped a beat.
Long walks on the beach have always been my favourite. The sound of the waves hitting the shore, the cool calm breeze, specially on the nights where the moon shines bright over my head and I am just walking. In this city, where life moves exceptionally fast, being here is the only time where I feel a little slowed down. There was a time when I used to do this alone. But since I started coming here with him, the whole experience has a new meaning. In our busy lives, where we don't get to see each other than often, being here, walking together with our hands intertwined, my head rested on his shoulders, the occasional smiles and a comfortable silence is what taking a break means for me now. We don't really like talking much when we are here. The winds, the sound of water, the smell of sand mixed water does all the talking to us, all we do is just the listening.
It was again one such time. We were walking on the beach, his hands wrapped around my shoulders, my head was resting on his shoulder. Although this time his eyes were not on the beach and the moon. His eyes had an unknown sparkle in them. Our eyes met and in no time our lips too. This was not the first time that our lips relished the feeling of being together, this was not the first time that he had held me so close, this was not the first time that my hands were buried and caressing his soft silky hair, this was not the first time when I felt him smiling through the kiss...but still, as we broke apart for air and rested our foreheads together, breathless, my heart skipped a beat.
The day is finally here. Today is the day when both of us are starting a new chapter in our lives. Today is the day where we will promise each other to be together till death parts us. Yes, today we are getting married. The butterflies in my stomach haven't stopped since the day he got down on one knee and proposed to me for marriage. I honestly never expected him to do that. But then, the very start and the progression of this relationship has been so unexpected, why not the proposal then? My last couple of months have just been spent planning this very day. Abhijeet though, was not very involved in the arrangements. On asking him the reason, he just said
"I just want to get married to you thats it. I don't care whether it happens in a big mansion or a small hut. The fact that I am going to spend the rest of my life with you, means the world to me "
Oh I fell for him all over again!
As I walked down the aisle my eyes met with him for the first time in the day. An instant smile appeared on his face. He didn't take his gaze away from me even for a second and I just blushed the hardest than I ever have. The rituals happened alongside of all the teasing from our friends colleagues and both of us just smiling and blushing. Now we are standing facing each other holding a garland of flowers in our hands. He came close to me made me wear it with the sweetest smile on his face. I just kept looking at him. My brain just realised this is not a dream. Senior inspector Abhijeet is my husband. Looking at my face, he kind of realised I am lost in a trance. He just raised his eyebrows asking me what with a teasing smile on his face.
Well yet again as always for the hundredth time,
My heart skipped a beat.
