A/N: Thank you guys for your love and support. This is my first FF. I am not a good writer. But I am trying my best to make it good. Please be with me.
Tarika : ... main jab yaha ayi thi, to yaha main bilkul akeli thi. family ya phir friend koi nahi thi. shuru shuru mrin bahut lonely feel karti thi main. phir yahan dheere dheere man lagne laga. ACP Sir, Salunkhe Sir, Daya, Freddy Sir, aur ABHIJEET... abhijeet shuru se hi thoda bahut flirt kar lete the mere saath. jaise tumne kaha, us waqt maine ise zyada importance nahi di. bas enjoy karti thi. phir us din...
***Flashback starts***
Tarika working in forensic lab. its already 10:00 pm, everybody has left bureau. Actualy she is having severe headache. She has high fever too. but as she lives alone here, she thoght she could manage it all alone. but now it seems very hard due to weakness.
Tarika in her thought: socha tha shaam tak theek ho jayega, lekin yeh bukhar to badh raha hai. aaj ghar bhi jane ka mood nahi hai, ghar jaungi to aur bhi akeli feel karungi. kaash mere paas ab koi hota...
Suddenly Abhijeet enters FL.
Abhijeet: Tarika ji, aap abhi tak yahan?
Tarika: Abhijeet! tum! tum yahan kaise?
Abhijeet: Main to bas naikalne wala hi tha, phir dekha ki yaha lights on hai... bas ...
Tarika: thik hai, abhijeet. tum jao. koi problem nahi. bas thoda kaam tha
Abhijeet: aap ki tabiyat to theek hai na?
Tarika: haan, haan bilkul...
abhijeet: lekin aap ko dekh kar lag rahe hai... aap sach keh rahi hai?
Tarika: haan abhijeet, tum jao (she tries to stand up, but due to weakness instantly falls down. abhijeet came quickly and held her by her arm)
Abhijeet: yeh kya! mujhe pata tha, aap ka tabiyat thik nahi... aap ko to tez bukhar hai. chaliye aap. main aap ko ghar chhor deta hoon
Tarika: nahin, abhijeet, tumhe pareshaan hone ki koi zaroorat nahi, bas mauli si bukhar hi to hai, thik ho jayega. tum jao. main khud chali jaungi
Abhijeet: bas ho gaya na? aap ko jo kehna tha keh liya? ab chale?
he held her arm carefully. and took her with him to his car.
Tarika's thought: aap kyun kar rahe hain aisa? aap kyun itni fikr karte hain meri?
Abhijeet in phone: Daya, main aaj ghar nahin aa sakta hun. woh Taarika ji ki tabiyat kharap hain, unhe bahut bukhar hai. aur ghar pe bhi koi nahin hai. main reh jata hun. tu fikr mat kar. aur apna khayal rakhna...
at night, abhijeet made her sleep in her bed. he himself sat beside the bed. tarika suddenly started feeling safe and calm in his presence. she held his hand, and tried to sleep. she felt that she never wants him to go. it's him whom she always wants beside herself. on the other hand, abhijeet is bit worried about hand, though her attitude amazed him... after giving her medicine he started to pat her head, so that she could sleep.
Next morning, Tarika woke up with a heavy head. At first she could not remember anything from last night. But after a while she was able to remember a worried face sitting beside her, taking care of her throughout the night. Just then she jerked off... Oh my God! As far as I could remember Abhijeet was here, awake all night... Her eager eyes tries to find those eyes full of concern and silent love. and then only Abhijeet entered the room, with a tray in his hand carrying morning tea...
Abhijeet: Tarika, tum uth gaye? thik to ho na ab?
Tarika was stunned to see him greeting like this. Is he a normal human being? he awake all night, just for her, even if it was a very common fever... And now he is greeting her like nothing happened, as if he is not tired at all!
Tarika: Abhijeet, tum sare raat soye nahi, na? jaha tak mujhe yaad aa rahi hai, main jab bhi neend mein kuch keh rahi thi, yah phir paani mang rahi thi, you were there. Are you mad? yeh mamuli si bukhar hi to hai! bas iske liye tum saare raat jagte rahe?
Abhijeet turned his head down. after a while he started speaking softly,
Abhijeet: aap ki tabiyat thik nahi thi, aur aap takleef mein thi, to main ne socha... (he suddenly stopped, and tarika understood his unspoken words.)
Tarika was unable to say anything to him, she desperately wanted to hug him tightly.
Tarika: abhijeet, tum kuch der ke liye mere paas baith sakte ho?
Abhijeet: haan, kyun nahi?
he sat beside her. without uttering a single word, tarika came closer to him, and put her hand on his lap. Abhijeet understood the words her eyes wanted to say. he ran his fingers through her hair, Tarika closed her eyes, and murmured,
Tarika: tum rahoge na?
Abhijeet: (almost whispering) hamesha...
