A/N: I am really feeling good to see all your love towards this story. I thank you all for your love and support. As I have said earlier that this story is not going to be too long Actually when I started it I thought of it as an OS, but while writing I found that it is difficult to fit all the emotions of these two in an OS only. That's why I broke it into chapters. Hope you like it.

There are many SachVi lovers (like my lovely sis :)), please friends give this one a try. You may like this also :P

Days were passing by in the same way. Nothing was changed. It was just another day. Everyone already left the bureau except the two of them. Sachin was busy with his files. Kajal was watching him with the corner of her eyes from her seat only. She cleared her throat to get his attention, but in vain. Finally she spoke.

Kajal: kya hai?

Sachin: Arre, maine to kuch nahi bola! yeh "Kya hai" ka matlab kya?

Kajal: wohi to! yeh sab kya hai, haan? ghar nahi jana hai? dekh, raat ko 11 bajne wala hai yaar, ab to ghar chal

Sachin: to tu ja na! (annoyed) mujhe kaam hai

Kajal: mera bike kharap ho gaya, garage me hai, ab tujhe nahi jana hai to thik hai, (about to leave) main chali jati hun cab se

Sachin: (hurriedly) Arre, to pehle nahi bol sakti thi? aise kaise jayegi tu? chal, main bhi chalta hu. yeh ley

He threw his car key to her and she immediately caught the catch!

Sachin: Arre wah! abhi bhi hai talent!

Kajal: main hu hi itni talented! tu chal ab... sach me yaar, mujhe to neend bhi aa rahi hai

They left the bureau and started off. It was a bit late. The roads were almost empty. They were having their usual chit chats. Suddenly Sachin stopped the car. Kajal looked at him questioningly.

Sachin: (excited) Kajal - woh dekh, gubbare-wala!

Kajal: (surprised) Tujhe abhi bhi yaad hai!

Sachin smiled sweetly in reply.

Sachin: Kya soch rahi hai tu? Chal abhi chalte hai -

They left the car hurriedly and went to the Balloon-man.

Sachin: Bhaiya, hume yeh sare gubbarey kharidna hai!

Kajal was too happy to say anything! Sachin baught the whole bunch of balloons.

Sachin: Yeh ley!

Kajal took the bunch happily. Sachin was continuously looking at her happy and extremely joyous face. Her smile was really soothing him.

Sachin: Chal, waha beach pe jake udatey hai bachpan ke tarah -

Kajal did not wait for him to complete his sentence, she pulled him and ran towards the beach. Their she flew all the balloons. She was staring at those balloons flying up - up and up in the air -

Kajal's eyes were glistening.

Kajal: Tujhe abhi tak yaad hai - jab hum bachpan me aise beach pe ate they, aur main aise gubbare udaney ke liye zidd karti thi!

Sachin: Kabhi kabhi to ek do gubbarey hum kharid bhi lete they - woh tiffin ka paisa bacha ke, yaad hai?

Kajal: haan, tera woh tiffin ka paisa jama ke hum yaha aake masti karte they

Sachin: Haan par mujhe bhukha rehna padta tha (making sad face)

Kajal: (lowered her gaze) Tujhe bachpan se hi kitna tang kia maine, hai na?

Sachin: (smilingly) woh to hai, aur agey bhi karte rehna (he affectionately ruffled her hair)

They spent a long time that day reminiscing their childhood days, the days when they were only kids, they had nothing to worry about. They were kind of lost in their memories. At night, both of them had the same thing in their minds.

Sachin's POV: Kitne achche the woh sab din. Na koi dard, na koi aansu. Hum kitne asani se khush ho jate the ta, agar chot bhi lagte woh bhi bhul jate the ek pal me. Shayad waise hi aaj bhi hum gham ko bhula sakte...

Kajal's POV: Main kaise bhul jaun woh sab din? bachpan se le kar aaj tak meri zindegi me ek tum hi to ho! Kash woh din laut aate, aur hum yeh saare complicity bhulke phirse pehle jaisa ho jaate...

A few days later...

Sachin entered the bureau. He was a little bit late. That's why he was a bit tensed also. As soon as he entered, he saw Purvi doing something.

Sachin: Purvi, ACP Sir aa gaye kya?

Purvi: (smilingly) Good Morning Sir! aap temsion mat lijiye, aaj ACP Sir HQ gaye hai, dopeher ko ayenge.

Sachin sighed with relief! He smiled back at her and went to his desk. Suddenly he found that Kajal was not present. He looked at his watch. Yah, it's already too late. She never comes late to bureau. He felt very uneasy. He was looking here and there.

Purvi: Sir, aap kisi ko dhund rahe hai?

Sachin: Haan, woh Kajal nahi aye hai kya?

Purvi: Sir, aap ko pata nahi?

Sachin: (cnfused) Kya?

Purvi: Uska bhai ka tabiyat kuch thik nahi hai, isi liye woh ek week ke liye apne ghar gaye hai

Sachin:(shocked) per mujhe usne bataya tak nahi!

Purvi: Shayad time hi nahi mila ho. waise bhi sir, woh to aap ka bachpan ka dost hai na, agar time milta, to aap ko zaroor batati!

Sachin did not reply her. He seemed not at all satisfied with her answer.

Ek week ke liye chala gaya! Mujhe bataya tak nahi! aise kaise kar sakti hai woh? Bachpan se lekar aaj tak agar kahi bhi jana ho to humesha mujhse puch ke hi jati hai. Kabhi bina puche kisi dost ke ghar tak nahi gay woh, aur aaj itne dino ke liye bas yun hi chal padi! Ek phone tak nahi ki mujhe. Usse pata hona chahiye na, ke mujhe kitna bura laga hoga! Meri best friend hai woh! Meri KAJAL hai! uski baat mujhe kisi aur se sunna pad raha hai. Woh Purvi ko batana zyada zaroori samjhi! Thik hai, main bhi hota kaun hun uski! Hmph! Ek baar ane do usse, koi baat nahi bataunga, chahe jo bhi ho jaye. Aur call to bilkul nahi karunga. Mujhe nahi chahiye uski dosti!

Just then his phone rang, and after looking at the caller id,a 1000 watt smile appeared on his face.
