AN- Thankyou so much for all the reviews on the previous chapter. Here goes the next one :)

A dark room. CID officers try to enter as silently as possible. They have to catch the goons in the room alive. Suddenly, there is a disturbance. The goons become alert. Firing starts. All the officers find something around them as a cover. They try not to fire as instructed. Suddenly, one officer aims at a goons leg and fires. This distracts the other goons and they look at him. The officers taking advantage of this situation, attack them and take their guns.

"Good work" Said abhijeet "Le chalo sabko "

But, the goon who got injured, pulls out the gun which he was hiding and fires without wasting time. The bullet goes out and hits an officer at whom he was aiming.

"Aaah! " Escapes from his mouth before he collapses.

"Abhijeeet " yells daya immediately running towards him.

"Noooo... Abhijeet..." Screams tarika waking up with a jolt.

Her heart racing fast, her face covered in sweat, she was breathless.

'Oh my god what was this dream' She thought, as she reached to grab water at side of her bed.

She tried to calm herself down but nothing worked. Her head was throbbing due to pain. She just needed to hear his voice to know that he was okay.

Without giving it a second thought, she dialed his number.

Its ringing

still ringing

'Oh God abhijeet please pick up'

Still ringing

The call was finally answered.

"Hello " said a very sleepy voice from the other side.

"Where the hell have you been? Itna time lagta hai tumhe phone uthane ke liye " She yelled at him.

"Tarika? kya hua? So raha tha mein. Sunai nahi di aawaz. Kya hua itne raat ko phone kiya... tum thik toh ho na? " He said waking up fully.

She then checked the timing. It was 2 A.M

"H-Haan mein thik hu. Tum thik ho na? " She was still catching her breath.

"Haan yaar mein bilkul thik hun...tum itni ghabrayi hui kyu ho kuch hua hai kya? Batao mujhe " He was really getting worried hearing her shaken voice.

"Nahi kuch nahi hua hai...just had a bad dream. Don't worry I am fine " She said

"Are you sure? " He asked still not convinced with her answer.

"Yes. Sorry for calling you at this hour. Good night " She disconnected the call without waiting for his reply.

Somehow, this was the only normal conversation they had in this month. The after effects of the fight they had were still pretty much there. They still weren't talking to each other. Needless to say both of them were missing each other, but both of them had to much pride to admit that they did.

Tarika again sipped some water. She was feeling better now, after having heard his voice. But she was now feeling embarrassed to have panic called him this late at night. They were pretty much habitual having the late night calls when everything between them was normal. Sometimes, the night time used to be the only time in which they used to get some uninterrupted time to talk to each other. But now, the people were same, the timing was same but feelings were not. Really? Does one fight change so many things?

She tried sleeping after that, but she could not. Her mind just kept drifting to the incident that happened today in the lab.

Flashback

A man in his thirties was murdered. The usual tests in the lab were going on. The officers were waiting for the details about the case. Suddenly, a woman barged into the lab, She was his wife. She went straight to where his body was lying.

As soon as she saw his body she started weeping uncontrollably. She said it was just in the morning that he was with her and they had a fight because of a silly reason.

"I cannot believe those were the last words I spoke to you " She said crying.

"I wish we had more time" She said as purvi took her away from the dead body.

Seeing the lady's pain, Tarika's eyes watered too. Working for CID all of them were asked not to be emotional about any case that comes in. But in this case she really felt what that lady must be going through. There had been times when she felt she had almost lost him. I wish we had more time was a thought that used to be in her head in those times too.

Back to present

She came back to her senses when the door bell rang. This late in the night she would only expect one person to be standing out side the door.

She opened the door and her guess was right. Tears instantly formed in her eyes when she saw him.

He came inside saw her teary eyes.

"I am sorry " words just slipped out of his mouth.

Tears rolled out of her eyes hearing that. "No...I am sorry. I said things that I shouldn't have said. I am so sorry " She said hugging him really tight.

"I said things that I shouldn't have tarika. Mujhe tumhare job ka mazaak nahi udana tha. I just said those things without giving it a thought. I know how passionate you are about your job. I promise I will be more careful next time. " He said hugging her even tighter.

"I shouldn't have just ended everything we had " She whispered closing her eyes.

"I shouldn't have denied the existence of anything at all " He said in the same tone.

It was the first time in this last one month, that both of them were feeling so light. They just stood, hugging each other for a long time. A smile on both of their faces.

"It was this easy the whole time? why didn't we do this earlier? " She said breaking the hug.

"Because we are both stupid people " Said abhijeet chuckling.

"Woh toh hai" She said laughing.

"God...I missed you so much"

"I missed you too "

Next day they were sitting in the cafeteria with the team. They were all just having some coffee with some usual chit-chat. Except today, AbhiRika were sitting a little closer together than usual. Everyone in the team had noticed that and took it as a sign that their fight is now officially over. Happiness clearly written on all of their faces. Needless to say daya was the happiest to finally see both of them happy again. He was just looking at them with a smile on his face while both of them were busy in their sweet nothings. He then got distracted by ACP sirs call on his phone. Their boss needed him and abhijeet in the bureau immediately.

"Chalo boss. Bulava aa gaya sir ka. Yeh tumhara PDA baadmein dekh lenge hum sab " Daya said naughtily.

"Arey ye kaha PDA hai daya " He said after getting up. He bent down and lightly kissed the top of her head. "PDA toh isko bolte hai "

Everyone was shocked including daya as AbhiRika would always keep a descent distance between them whenever they were in public. But everyone knew today was a special day.

"Chalo chalo " Abhijeet said to daya as he walked out of the cafeteria leaving a blushing tarika behind.

Abhijeet and daya walked out of the cafeteria smiling wide at Dr. Salunkhe who was just about to enter into the cafeteria.

Out of all the happy faces around, Dr. Salunkhe was the only one with an expression of shock mixed with disappointment on his face.
