AN: Hello! I am back with a quick update. Writing this one very spontaneously. Lets see how it goes.Also thank you so much for all the lovely reviews on the previous chapter. They really made me happy.
It was already past 11 now when they got out of the restaurant. Or should I say more like asked to leave by the manager as it was closing time. They then realised that they were the only two sitting in a vacated restaurant now. So, quite embarrased, they had to leave.
'Wow! I cannot believe I have talked to someone for that long!'. Said abhijeet in his mind.
"Well, thanks for the dinner " She said smiling
"Well, same to you" He said reflecting back her smile.
"Waise aap jayengi kaise? Mein chhod du aapko?" He asked.
"Nahi main taxi le lungi. Its okay" She said. She would have said yes for the lift if it was any other day. But today, she just couldn't look at him without having a sheepish smile on her face.
"No formalities Dr.Tarika. Its already late. Aur yaha se taxi jab tak aapko milegi tab tak main aapko drop kar dunga. Don't worry I'll try not to tease you" He said suppressing his laughter.
"Well, then okay" She said. Thinking that it is better to bear his teasing than to search for a taxi at this hour.
10 minutes into the drive, tarika's gaze did not move from outside of the window of the passenger seat.
'Wow never in my life did I think watching someone getting so uncomfortable would be so much fun!' Abhijeet thought glancing at her.
"Waise aapki neck mein koi problem aa gaya hai kya? Bahar hi dekhi jaa rahi hai aap kabse " He said smirking.
"Nahi. I can't look at you when you have got that teasing smile on your face" She decided not to hold back. Now what was even left to hold back anyway?
He laughed on hearing this.
"Waise just to clarify, main isliye nahi hass raha kyu ki main aapka crush hua karta tha. Not to brag lekin, aapse pehle bhi aise bohot ladkiyo ne kaha hua hai mujhse"
She rolled her eyes on this.
He continued, "But the look on your face right now is priceless. You really don't have to be this embarrassed"
"You know what, this one of the hardest things ever... Confronting a person whom you have a crush on and I just did that so excuse me for being a little overwhelmed" She said finally looking at him.
"I can understand" He laughed on this and something striked him and he said " Wait a minute! 'confronting a person who you HAVE a crush on' ? Do you still..." He said with huge smile on his face
After this, tarika now just wished that the earth opens up and takes her within her embrace. A person she did not have any kind of informal conversation with until this morning, now knows her deepest secret.
She cursed herself for not being more careful. He is a freaking CID officer. Ofcourse he can read people's minds. What was she even thinking?!
"Yaha aage se right lena hai " She barely managed to speak.
Abhijeet on the other hand, was having the time of his life as expected.
"You know what? I just thought of a theory as to how you decided to become a forensic doctor" He said breaking a brief silence.
"Oh God! Not again! " She said not having the energy to say anything else.
"This is the last one. I promise" He said with an evil smile.
"Alright go ahead..." She said giving up.
"So, after you realised that you have a crush on me, you obviously researched about me, found out that I work in CID mumbai. Then you worked hard chose this path and finally achieved your dream and here you are working with your crush. How romantic Dr.Tarika. Ispe toh film banni chahiye" Said abhijeet making a great effort to suppress his laughter.
Tarika finally laughed at this.
"Well... let's just say I am so glad you chose to become a CID officer and not some script writer for films. You would have been terrible at it"
"Hey! you should always be nice to your crush you know! That's like the very basic rule" He said playfully.
"Stop at the next turn. That's my building" She said ignoring his comment.
"You wanna come inside? perhaps you will enjoy teasing me more with a cup of coffee" She said as he stopped the car at destination.
"No. Not now. I need some time to think of new jokes. Next time may be" He said laughing.
"I am never going on another dinner with you" It was her turn to smirk now.
"we'll see about that" He said now a little serious "and I am sorry if I was a little bit too much. Which I am sure I was. So if I made you uncomfortable in any way, my apologies" He said sincerely.
"No absolutely not! Infact this is the most fun I have had in weeks." She said smiling.
' Hai to banda gentleman'. She thought
"Oh me too actually! And don't worry your little secret is safe with me" He said smirking.
"Oh I am glad! Thanks for the drive. Have a good night" She said as she got out of the car.
"I am having one" He said starting the car.
AN: I hope you all enjoyed this one as much as abhijeet did. Leave a review if you did ;)
See you soon :)
