"Abhijeet... ek baat puchu tumse? " asked daya as he was driving his buddy home after a long day at work.

"Tum kabse aise permission leke kuch puchne lage mujhse? " said abhijeet looking startled.

"Wo isliye ki jo mein tumse puchne wala hoon, uska tum sidha sidha jawab doge nahi mujhe pata hai. Toh... agar sidhe sidhe aur honestly jawab doge toh hi puchunga warna rehne do. "

"Arre... Mein hamesha tumse honestly hi baat karta hoon yaar... pucho na kya puchna hai suspense kyu badha rahe ho? "

"Achha... toh... Dr. Tarika ke baare mein kya sochte ho tum? "

Abhijeet's eyes widened on hearing this question.

"Ky- Kya sochta hoon matlab? " asked abhijeet stammering.

"Matlab tum achhe se jaante ho... Jyada bhole mat bano... " said daya plainly.

"Achhi dost hai meri aur kya... usme sochna kya hai... "

"Achha? Sirf dost? "

"H- Haan. Sirf dost. "

"Achha aur jo tum flirt karte ho uske saath wo kya? Wo bhi aise hi dost ke naate? "

"Flirt? Wo toh aise hi salunkhe sir ko pareshan karne ke liye hai yaar... you know... harmless " Said abhijeet not being able to find the right words to convince his friend.

"Achha... aur wo jo birthday gifts diye tum logo ne ek dusre ko? "

"Ab birthday gifts dene mein kya problem hai? Usne mujhe tony stark waale glasses diye toh meine use Friends themed coffee mug diya she is a huge friends fan... in fact meine jab use bataya ki meine nahi dekha hua hai toh usne mujhe jabardasti bitha kar 2-4 episodes dikha diye...achha show hai..." Abhijeet stopped as he felt daya staring at him with his eyebrows raised.

"Aise kya dekh rahe ho yaar... waisa kuch hota toh mein bataunga nahi kya tumhe? "

"Ab pata nahi... aaj kal kaafi badle badle ho tum boss... aur yeh mera akele ka nahi puri team ka observation hai... "

"Ab aisa kyu lagta hai sabko? "

"Uss din dinner ke liye jab hum sab gaye the... uss din jo hua uske baad toh sabko pata chal gaya ki kuch gadbad chal rahi hai... " Said daya with a smirk.

Flashback

The whole team was out for dinner after a long time. Abhijeet and tarika were sitting next to each other followed by shreya and purvi on other side of tarika and daya freddy and others on the other side of abhijeet. Everyone was enjoying the dinner with some usual chit chat. Everything was going smoothly, until shreya asked tarika with a naughty grin on her face,

"Aur tarika, tumhara boyfriend kaisa hai? "

Before tarika could even open her mouth to answer, she was interrupted by a coughing voice.

There he was, senior inspector abhijeet sitting on her side who had just choked on his drink.

"Abhijeet? You okay? " Tarika said rubbing his back.

After some seconds his coughing finally stopped.

"Yeah. I am okay. " Said abhijeet composing himself. "You were saying? Your boyfriend? " He said looking at tarika. A hint of disappointment clearly visible in his tone.

"Arre nahi... it's the dog one of my neighbors have... Mein usko boyfriend bulati hoon. Shreya uske baaremein puch rahi thi. " Said tarika explaining.

"Oh... Okay, " Said abhijeet getting back to his drink.

But by now, everyone had a naughty grin on their faces which obviously didn't go unnoticed by abhijeet. He felt kind of embarrassed

"Yeah. Yeah it's okay. Tarika ka koi boyfriend nahi hai. Ab aaram se piyo tum thik hai? " Said daya patting abhijeets back with the naughtiest smile.

Abhijeet glared at him. While tarika couldn't help but blush. Everyone else laughed on this.

Flashback over

"Wo baat tum ab tak pakad ke baithe ho? It was a coincidence bhai. Usne bola tab hi mere gale mein gadbad hui. Kuch bhi sochte ho tumlog... "

"Hadd hai abhijeet. Maan kyu nahi lete that you like her? Sab jaante hai ye baat... Tarika bhi, " Daya said getting irritated with abhijeet's answers.

Abhijeet's jaw dropped on hearing this.

"Dekho daya... mein use apni achhi dost samajhta hoon bass. Waisa koi khayal hai nahi mere dimag mein aur naa hi kabhi hoga. Ye faltu mein humari dosti ko koi aur naam dene ki koshish mat karo tumlog. Samjhe? "

"Ye sab tum mujhe samjha rahe ho ki apne aap ko? "

"Matlab? "

"Ye humesha apni feelings ko dabana chupana jaroori hai kya abhijeet? Tumhare dil mein kuch aur hai keh kuch aur rahe ho tum. Kabhi toh apne dil ki kar liya karo. Tum samajhte hoge khudko robot lekin ho toh tum insaan hi. Feelings hai tum mein bhi aur usme koi buri baat nahi hai. "

Abhijeet shook his head on hearing this.

"Ye pata nahi konsi ghisi piti film ke dialogues chipka rahe ho tum mujhe... chhodo... tumhe samjhana bekar hai. Samajh Lo jo samajhna hai mujhe farak nahi padta. Rok do gaadi mein chala jaunga yaha se. " Said abhijeet clearly annoyed by daya's words.

Daya too didn't wish to strech this topic for too long now. He knew how stubborn abhijeet was. Convincing him something wasn't going to be that easy.

"Thik hai. Lekin mark my words. Ek din tumhe khud hi realise ho jayega ki tarika tumhare liye kitni sahi hai aur tum uske liye kya feel karte ho. Aur wo din jyada dur nahi hai... " Daya said as he stopped the car.

"Arre yaar... " saying this abhijeet just got out of the car and left without saying another word.

Daya let out sigh and drove away.
