Abhijeet looked puzzled.
Tarika(in a teary tone): He is not in the world. He was dead.
Abhijeet(shocked): Kya?
Tarika: Haan. I will tell you everything.
"Someone gets their first love in school or college. I got my first love in my college days. When we started love I thought he is my first and last love. I never thought of losing him. Fate played in our life.
I hope you get to know about everything. That's it".
Abhijeet: I need to know the whole thing. How he died. Everything. I am not doubting you. I just need to know because you loved him truly that even after his death, these many years,and after our marriage you still kept his and your beautiful memories with you.
Tell me where you met him. How you fell for him. Think me as a good friend and tell me. I am always there for you.
Tarika hugged him. Still in hug she spoke...
Tarika: Abhi... Really I loved him. It is my fault that I hid from you about this matter. I thought you will take it serious but you understood me. I will tell you the whole matter.
She separated from the hug. Abhijeet wiped her tears.
Abhijeet: You can share anything with me. I am with you always. Tell me where you met him and how you both fell in love.
Tarika: Jealousy.
Abhijeet: No. I need to know how my Tarika fell in love with him that too deep. Tell me from to starting ro ending.
" At the very first time I met him in my college. He came with his Royal Enfield bike. He stopped his Bike infront of me. And got down from the bike. And directly moved near a group of boys who were standing there. He started to beat one by one. Do you know my friend clara right?
Abhijeet(pretended to be thinking): Yes I know her (in a naughty tone): Yes Clara is drop dead gorgeous than our neighbour Priya.
Tarika's eyes widened.
Tarika: What? Clara, Priya. Are they beautiful than me? Here I am really sad. But you were praising them.
Abhijeet: Yes they are just awesome...
S...So...sorry. Mera matlab wo nahi tha...
Tarika(fake anger): Mujhe koi explanation nahi chahiye.
Abhijeet: I am sorry. Please Tarika I won't do it again. Please continue.
Tarika made a sad pout. Abhijeet chuckled.
Tarika (continuing): I will tell.
" I was about to go to him and stop them. But Clara dragged me away. And without knowing reason I was bad mouthing all the way. Then I came to know the reason the boys misbehaved with some of the girls. So only he bet them.
When I was sitting in my class room. He too entered the class room. He is my class mate. Many girls started flirting with him. But he was steady. And also the professor appointed him as a monitor of the class. He was very strict. You know I am very fun loving person. But he was strict enough. He is not like other boys. He doesn't see the girls and pay much attention to them. He was showing much attitude too. So we girls were discussing how to broke his attitude. So Rajesh one boy gave us the idea. The idea was girls can do anything so any of you (girls) go and propose him. And make him fell in your trap".
Abhijeet: So you tried.
Tarika (innocently): No. I will tell you.
"No one tries. His strictness continued. I was very much irritated. I was blabbering all my angry to Clara. She told me that at infront of everyone only Rajesh told us any of us to propose. So I thought of calling him and pranking him".
Abhijeet: Won't he find with the number?
Tarika:
"No I had a phone which doesn't show the number. It just show private number. I have changed my voice and spoke at him. At first he was angry and asking who am I? (chuckling tone): He started to stare each and every girl. She might be the anonymous girl who is talking over the phone. Some funny incident too took place like while staring at one girl doubtfully he fell into fountain".
Abhijeet laughed.
Tarika:
" He gave up. And told me to come in front of him. And we both developed a feeling. Even before he see me. He too had some special feeling towards me".But I refused we spoke morning, Night. Whenever we get time we spoke. Besides we practiced Football too".
Abhijeet(surprised tone): Madam ko Football Kelna bi ata hai kya?
Tarika: Hello! I am a state level Football player.
"Then one day I promised him that I will come in front of him. At February 14 I went in front of him. At first he was very shocked. At his reaction I was very upset and started to cry. Then he consoled me. He did one thing which was unexpected thing. He took a rose bouquet and kneeled in his one leg and proposed me. I was shocked. I told him I need some time. Because we talked in phone only right. Then we both fell in love within 3 months. I informed my home they too accepted. And I am the captain of our college team. In men's football he is the captain. We won inter college Football matches. Some of us qualified for Hyderabad team and we played I was the captain of the team.

Tarika: After his death I was really depressed. And I became an introvert, stopped talking. Because the world is looking like hell for me. I can't bear anymore. I hope you saw the photo which the rituals were done for both of us.
Abhijeet nodded.
Tarika: We just had roka ceremony. Yeah both of the families accepted. First we thought we can just have roka further we can have marriage because we need to concentrate towards career.
I was telling you that I was depressed. That time I was on my training period. After that I got posting in Mumbai. You know my family suffered a lot in my training period because I was getting nightmares repeteadly. Rithik came to my dream and started speaking. I was really affected. So my family decided to consult a psychiatrist.I was attending counselling. Still then I can't overcome from... My family members were scared of leaving me alone in Mumbai. But I need some time. After coming here I was behaving like a reserved type. Dr. Salunkhe spoke to me and asked whether I had a any problem. But I lied to him that I was missing my family. He told me to think CID officers as my family. In 2 months Vivek, Freddy Sir, Sonali, Muskaan, Kavery and even Daya. I had a new friends. They made me feel better. Even I was lost somewhere. Then I came to know about you. And your past. I was really inspired after knowing you. Because can
anyone be like that in the world? I wonder. And then we became friends,best friends,and more than that. Slowly I fell in love with you. My sadness went away. I am feeling fresh. I overcame from that. I became normal. I felt I was reborn. My family members were happy that I became normal. But they never knew you were the reason. I never remember him after I see you. You changed me a lot. I love you Abhijeet. I love you so much.
You are my life. I am yours and always yours. Main Tumhara; Tumhara raha.Tarika and Abhijeet stood up. Abhijeet hugged her tightly.
Abhijeet(still in hug): I am sorry Tarika. Without knowing I behaved in a bad way. I am sorry. And Thank you for understanding me. I never knew that I was the reason you overcome from that. I am sorry.
Tarika: I need to ask sorry to you. You shouldn't ask sorry to me. I should have told you. I am sorry. I am really sorry. Because I hurted you. After knowing this thing how your heart might have ached. I love you...
Abhijeet: It's ok. Let's forget about that.
Abhijeet kissed he forehead.
