Chapter: Eight: These times I spend with you

xxx

Abhijeet and Tarika wave to Dr. Salunkhe and together they drive away from the bureau.

Abhi turns on the radio and Tarika keeps staring out of the window staring occasionally at him while smiling all the time.

A while later he stops the car; she gets down taking his hand which he offered. She notices it's not her home.

Tarika: Abhijeet yeh tho.. yeh tho tumhara ghar hai, mera nahi-

He cuts her off quickly.

Abhijeet: Yeh tho aap ka bhi ghar hai Tarika Ji, yaad hai? Ab yeh ghar humara hai.. nahin?

She smiles touched by his words.

Tarika: Accha ji? Lekin Doctor Salunkhe ne kya kaha tha? Aap ko mujhe mere ghar drop karna tha.. aap mujhe yaha kyu le aaye hmm?

Abhi: Are yaar kithna bolti ho.. chalo na andar..

He grabs her hand and takes her inside. She doesn't complain.

He asks her to sit in the hall saying he would be back soon.

Abhi: Aap yahi ruko.. main abhi aaya..

He leaves to get something from kitchen. She stands there recalling the events of the day. Her eyes fall on the dazzling diamond ring he had given her. It's all real then, this wasn't a dream. She keeps admiring the ring smiling a little and doesn't notice he's back.

He walks over to stand beside her and questions her.

Abhi: tho pasand aaya? (gestures towards the ring)

Tarika: Pasand aaya? Kaise nahi aatha.. bohot pasand aaya mujhe. yeh sab.. Abhijeet yeh mera sapna tha. Aaj mujhe khushi ho rahi hai, aur darr bhi- kahin yeh sapna fir se sapna hi reh gaya tho..

He senses she's getting emotional and pulls her into a hug.

Abhi, hugging her : Nahi Tarika, yeh.. yeh sapna nahi hai. Balki yeh woh sapna hai jo sach hogaya hai. Humari zindgii ki sacchayi hai yeh.. aur main tumhe kabhi nahi chodunga..

Tarika (smiling now): Main tumhe chodne nahi dungi..

Abhi: hmm.. fir tho Tarika Ji aap ko bade chalaki se kaam lena hoga, kyu ki mere aashiq dil ka kya bharosa.. kal ko kisi aur pe aajaye tho..

She hits him playfully.

Tarika: tum shaadi k baad bhi aise hi hasi Mazak khelte rahoge..

Abhi: arey nahi nahi hum Mazak nahi kar rahe hai. Hume baar baar pyar hua, aur har baar sirf aap se-

She smiles looking away, parting from him and he smiles widely.

Abhi: (teasing) Waise kya keh rahi thi..yeh- yeh aap ka sapna hai? Kya baat hai Tarika Ji aap humare sapne bhi dekhti hai..

He wants to pull her into another hug but she pushes him off.

Abhi: Arey aise duur mat jayiye.. Waise bohot duur reh chuki hai aap!

Tarika: (remembers he had been avoiding her for a week) Abhijeet you.. tum ne mujhe kitna sataaya. Kitna rulaaya.. ithni aasaani se main maaf nahi karungi tumhe!

(oops! Abhi Smacks himself for reminding her)

Abhi: Arey par abhi kuch der pehle hi bola na ki.. ki tum mujhse shaadi karna chahti ho?

Tarika: haan, bola tha tho- tumhe kya lagaa main khushi se paagal hojaungi aur khushi-khushi maaf kardungi tumhe?

He knows she is just teasing him back and that she can't be angry with him for so long.

Abhi: tho khush nahi hai aap?

Tarika: (mock anger) haan khush thi.. bohot khush.. par ab main revenge k mood mein hu..

Abhi: (acting) arey baba mujhe darr lag raha hai ab.. kaise revenge logi aap hum se? Kaise…

He pulls her and starts tickling her. She laughs begging him to stop.

Abhi: aise.. ya fir aise (tickles) ya aise.. (tickles again).. ya fir.. (tickles more)

Tarika: (laughs) stop! {laughs again) STOP! (laughs more) ABHIJEET STOP.. warna naaraaz hojaungi..

He stops and she smiles catching her breath.

Abhi: tho maaf kiya?

Tarika: Nahi..

He comes forward to tickle her more and she stops him.

Tarika: thik hai thik hai.. chalo maaf kiya..

She looks up to see he has donned a serious expression.

Tarika: Kya hua?

Abhi: (comes closer, takes her hand) I'm sorry.. bohot sataaya na maine tumhe? Par main kya karta.. main khud hi confused tha, sab kuch ithna jaldi ho raha tha ki main.. maine faisla lene mein waqt liya .. I'm sorry. Main kabhi nahi chahta tha ki tumhari aakho mein aassuu aaye; lekin aaj - main hi inn aasu k waja bangaya.. I'm sorry..

Tarika: (gives his hand a light squeeze) Haan bohot dard hua mujhe.. lekin jaante ho..aaj tum mere saat ho, yeh khushi k saamne woh dard tho kuch bhi nahi hai..

They stare into each other's eyes conveying their feelings, understanding unsaid words.

Abhi: Aaj tak meri zindgi.. adhuri thi. mujhe patha nahi kaise tha main tumhare bina- lekin aisa lagta hai jaise aaj hi mujhe meri zindgii mili hai. Main tumhe kabhi chot nahi pohochaunga. I swear-

Tarika smiles and hugs him.

Abhi: (hugging her) I love you..

Tarika: (smiling) Main bhi..

Abhi (pulling back): Main bhi kya hotha hai.. pura bolo na?

Tarika: Nahi..

Abhi: please?

Tarika: Naa..

Abhi: haan..

Tarika: arey kaha na naa..

Abhi: kaho na please!

Tarika: accha OK.. I .. I..I.. love.. forensic lab!

She runs and Abhi chases her.

Tarika: ithni aasaani se nahi kahungi..

Abhi: ruko.. shaitaan ki bacchii! Salunkhe sir k saat reh-reh k shaitaan hogai ho! Ruko..

She runs towards the stairs and he follows her.

Tarika: Pakad k tho dikhao.. Senior inspector Abhijeet! Tum mujhe nahi pakad paa rahe ho! Criminals ko kaise pakdoge..

Abhi is feeling week; the fact that he hadn't eaten well since a week being the reason.

Abhi: Keh do warna main naraz ho jaunga..

Tarika: kaha na.. I love forensic lab!

Abhi: thik hai thik hai.. agli baar dekhna main kya kahunga. Arey ,main agar kahunga I love CID tho kaise lagega tumhe?

Tarika: Accha lagega. Because I know tumhe CID se kithna pyaar hai..

She runs downstairs into the kitchen and he runs to collapse onto the sofa.

Tarika: arey ithni jaldi haar magaye? Pakad nahi paaye na mujhe?

Abhi is panting there, his eyes closed and she rushes to him worriedly.

Tarika (kneeling in front of him): Kya hua? Abhijeet? You OK?

He swiftly catches hold of her hand smirking a little.

Abhi: dekha Tarika ji.. mujhe aap ko pakadne ki kya zarurat hai? Aap khud hi aajati hai mere paas..

Tarika: (hits him playfully) dramebaaz! Daraa diya mujhe..

He lay back taking deep breaths and she realizes he is tired really.

Tarika: Abhi tum thak gaye ho.. so jaao na?

He smiles getting up and makes her stand.

Tarika: kya?

Abhi: tumne mujhe Abhi kaha?

Tarika: haan..

Abhi: Par I love you nahi kaha..

She smiles and gives up.

Tarika: tum tho jaante ho na.. main tum se kithna pyar karti hu..

Abhi: haan par kaho na.. achha lagtha hai..

Tarika: (smiling n hugging him) I love you Abhi..

Abhi: I love you too!

Tarika: Accha ab chodo.. (releases him) kuch khaana nahi hai tumhe? Main kuch banaati hu.. khaane k baad so jaao OK? Aur main apne ghar kisi taxi se..

Abhi: Main drop karlunga na-

Tarika: nahi tum aaraam karo..

Abhi: No its ok.. main apne fiancé k liye ithna tho karsakta hu na?

She blushes a little and nods. He watches with a smile as she goes into the kitchen.
