Chapter 11

Days passed, as the team were busy fighting crime and in their personal lives. Sam shai were dating, and puree were as usual fighting like tom and jerry, but they were great friends now.chotu was busy every evening 5 o clock, to meet his 11.30 wali, Amina in park. Riya was busy in her family life, and tried very hard to avoid arjun or any feelings related to him. Arjun was angry on that girl, not knowing why her approach towards this all is so guilty.his one part was fully convinced that he fell for this girl, but like the song says, ''thoda sa pyar hua hain, thoda hain baki'' he was on that phase.

Sameer rathore was busy in his cabin, when he got a call. He smiled a little and picked it up.

''namastey aunty.''

''namastey beta.kaise ho?'' the lady of middle age said in a calm and gentle tone.

''thik hoon. Aur aap? Uncle kaise hain?''

''hum sab thik hain.'' She stopped saying, don't know what to ask next. But Sameer knew why she called.

''who thik hain aunty, don't worry.''

The lady sobbed a little, then said in a choked voice,''bohot yaad ati hain uski..woh apna khayal to rakhta hain na?''

The question made him speechless. What would he say? Say the truth, that he is always ready to keep his life on danger, or lie to the lady who has already suffered so much?

''jee aunty.'' He answered and the lady sighed in relief.

''itna gussa apne aai se ki ek phone bhi nahi kar sakta?'' the lady burst into tears, and Rathore's eyes also welled up. He tried to console her.

''aap to janti hain na use''

''haanzid mein bilkul apne baba pe gaya hain.'' She wiped her tears and cleared her throat.''kash ye ek baar apna gussa bhul jate, tab shayad kuch.'' Her voice trailed off.

After some other inquiry about him and Rathore, the lady hung up.he put the phone back on the table and rest his head back on the chair.

The caller was Mrs. Geeta Suryakant Rawte, Arjun's aai. Ever since Arjun left from his house, she keep in touch with Rathore, contacting her often to check on him. She only wanted him to come back, and Arjun never contacted her after he left. She was sandwiched between the 2 head strong men, the mother and the wife were divided in 2 parts, to take side of son and husband. The mother only wanted him to come back, and her incomplete family will be completed. But looks like her wish had not fulfilled yet. Its been 5 years, and her hope is slowly fading with each day. She had not gave up her wish, but she can see it is nearly impossible to fulfill. She only prayed to her Ganapati bappa to keep her son well and safe, and filled his life with joy.

  Arjun was on the other hand was thinking very hard how to fix all the relations. He had not gathered courage to call in his home, as he is ashamed not to contact his family all these years.he also remembered his father's words, ''chale jao yahan se'' very well, and decided against it.one part of him was missing his family very much, while the other part was hesitant.it was not his ego, but his shame that came in his way. He has bound himself in so many barriers and restrictions that now its tough for himself to break it. He also wanted to rekindle the relation of him and Sameer, but again he was ashamed the way he pushed him when Roshni died. his hesitation is not letting him apologizing, so he is punishing himself instead.he had also mellowed down a little. He stopped behaving rudely to sameer, or fighting unnecessarily his opinion in every 2^nd thing. instead he listened patiently to him, and often agreed with him, which shocked the other team mate like nothing. He also don't scold when the trio were busy chatting or gossiping to themselves, he eavesdrop on their convos, knowing its wrong .

Rathore also noticed this sudden change in his behavior. Though he was as stubborn and reckless during case, it seems like he is slowly melting down little. He is little polite to all, including him, not being khadoos all the time. He has also seen him occasionally stealing glances at Riya, though not sure if what he is thinking is true.he was happy for this sudden change in him, and thought may be at last he can get back his friend. Though he was angry, but his heart has never left hope for his best friend to come back.

It was late at night. All have left except arjun and rathore.arjun finished his file and went down stairs, and started his SUV, after saying good night to rathore. But the car didn't started. he tried for more times, but it didn't start. he cursed his fate , get down and walked towards the gate, hoping to find a taxi to come. But it was too late, and they all having passenger. he waited impatiently, but turned his head when heard a sound of a horn.

Rathore also were heading towards his Suv, when he witnessed arjun was waiting for taxi. he sat in the suv, started it, and drove near arjun, and pressed horn to divert his attention.

Arjun saw rathore was signaling him to come.  After thinking for a sec, he went towards it.

''thank you.'' He said, while putting the seat belt on.rathore nodded and drove.

The ride was silent, each of them wanted the other to talk first, so none was starting a convo. after like a eternity, they both made their mind to talk.

''who main..'' they started at the same time, and stopped for the other to continue. Then they both burst in laughter.

''you first.'' Said arjun, after stopping his laugh.

''ok.so, yeh kya naya natak laga ke rakha hain? Mujhe to aadat ho gayi hain har baat pe tumse jhagra karne ki, pr ab tum itne shant behave kar rahe ho.kuch to choot raha hain'' saying this, rathore again laughed.

Arjun was so shocked that rathore started talking, too without any hesitation on his part, or long apology speech from arjun's part. He was talking like a long lost friend, and on the top of that, he also used his trademark dialogue.

''mere gusse ko miss kar rahe ho kya?'' he tried to sound casual, and rathore nodded.

''haan yaar.ab buri aadat asaani se to nahi chutti, hain na?'' and again he laughed. Arjun also laughed too. Then he sighed and said from his heart.

''I am really , very very sorry sameer.i know I behaved like a jerk with u.i know its too late for apologisebut I want to..'' arjun was saying sorry, but rathore raised his hand to stop.

''ab yeh sorry mat kahopls. itne sentimental arjun ki aadat nahi hain mujhe.'' He seriously said, but there was a small smile on his lip's corner.

''so u forgive me?'' arjun could not belief it.

''ab kya likh ke doon paper mein? Haan.ab bas agli baar aise behave mat karna.samjhey ya samjhaoon?'' he again used arjun's dialogue and threatened him, but again failed to keep a straight face and burst into laughter.

Arjun felt so much relieved that sameer forgive him, and was joking with him. He nodded, and stealthily wiped a tear forming on his eye. rathore assured him from his eyes.

They both reached in arjun's lodge, but none was in a mood to go for their house. They were very busy to talk, the topics they missed in these years. Rathore talked about shaina, their current relation status, while arjun teased him, and rathore also teased him back about riya, to which he blushed. the 2 friends didn't realized when a new day start. They practically spend the night in car, talking for hours. They felt so happy, so relieved. They both missed each other very much, and now that they are back on track, the happiness was too much to hold.

''I am going to propose her.'' Announced rathore happily, and arjun's smile broadened more. The smile was not leaving for a moment.

''wow.kab?'' he was curious. Now he don't want to miss at all what is going on his bff's life.

''aaj.maine to ring bhi select kr li hain, aur place bhi. I hope she says yes.'' The chief was nervous. arjun laughed.

''haan haan, has lo mujhpe.jab khud karoge, tab pata chalega kitni tension hoti hain.'' Sameer said in a fake angry tone, and arjun's smile vanished.

I don't know if I am going to do it ever..or she will say yes to me he thought mentally, and sameer shook him.

''oye..kahan kho gaye?''

Arjun nodded in negative, and decided to change the topic, ''waise, kya ladki chuni hain tumne.bilkul pagal hain.''

Rathore was little offeneded, ''Rawte, don't u dare.''

''arre baba.itni possessiveness?'' arjun teased him back.

''hogi hi.meri hone wali mangetar jo hain.'' He confessed, smiling fondly. Arjun was also happy, but he was in a teasing mode now.

''ooohhh'' he stressed it, and rathore was blushing now.

puja and shree were in shree's apartment, working on a new gazette. The 2 genius were deeply engrossed in their work, trying to upgrade and install new software in their gazette.they didn't realized when it was so late in night.suddenly the door bell rang.

''its my pizza.'' Puja jumped at once and ran to open the door. In no time, she came back with 3 box of pizza.

''3 boxes?'' shree asked.  3 pizzas for 2?

''2 for me, one for you.'' Answered puja happily and opened the box. Then she smelled the pizza deeply.

''wah.kya khusboo hain.'' She said happily, and pick up a piece and started to have it.

''you mannerless girl ! offer to me first.'' Shree shouted at her. But she was too busy.

''so have it naI am stopping u?'' she said ,through her mouth which was filled with pizza now. Shree chuckled and then had a bite. It was so delicious, he quickly chewed it.

''is not it yummy?'' said puja lustily and had another bite, and it was gone in no time.

''hey.slow down..'' shree warned her. But the damage was already done, as the pizza stuck in her throat and she coughed horribly.

''shit.'' He witnessed her state and quickly fetched water. He make her drink it, rubbing her back to ease her.he was also scolding her.

''dhyan rakhna chahiye na..tum bhi nalaparvahi karti ho.agar kuch ho jata to?''

Puja nearly finished the glass and irritated answered, ''ajeeb ho yaaryahan main itne pain mein hoon, aur tumhe daant ne se phursat nahi.''

''to galti kiski thi?'' shree argued back.

''ab please mujhe aur mat daanto.'' She warned. Shree was now more angry.

''acha? Warna kya kr logi tum?'' he also challenged her. Some mischievousness played in her eyes, and she answered, ''main yeh karoongi.'' Saying this, she poured the remaining water on his head.

Shree was momentarily shocked, but come out of his shocked state as he listened to her carefree laugh. He was lost in it. He continued to look at her face.

''kyu Maggie boy? Kaisa laga? Mujhe daantne ka nateeja?'' she again laughed more now, clutching her stomach.

Shree was now back in action mode. He quickly hold the water jug to throw the water on her, but she already observed it, and got up from sofa , and ran towards the bedroom.

''maggie boy.you cant wet me.'' She challenged him. He also smiled evilly.

''mere ghar mein mujhise panga? Now u are so gone miss puja singh.'' He threatened.

''oooh, am so scared.'' She mocked him, and laughed more. Shree ran toward her with the water jug in hand.

They both ran in the whole flat, none is ready to give up. Shree was now fed up, so he put the water jug on table and tried to catch her at any cost. He acted like he slipped on the carpet and twisted his ankle.

''oh god..its so hurting..oh god.'' He continued to act like he is in pain. Puja stopped running and quickly come to him.

''shreeoh god, its paining much?'' she was genuinely concerned. Shree felt little bad, but she started it all, and he is only finishing it. He quickly grabbed her arm, surprising her. Then he said, ''caught you miss singh.'' In proud voice.

Puja took time to realize that he is just acting. Then she was angry as hell, ''you were just acting? And I thoughtuffI didn't expect it from u.'' saying this, she freed her arm quickly and went towards the door to leave.

Shree didn't understand why she was so angry all of a sudden. He also got up and went towards her.

''what are you going?''

''don't talk to me.'' She was opening the door, but shree hold her arm, making her stop.

''leave my hand.'' She tried to fight him.

''what happened?'' he was confused at her sudden change in behavior. And she was fighting him.

''leave me.let me go'' she continued to struggle. Shree was more confused at the sudden change at her behavior.

''what the hell is wrong with u? why are u acting strange all of a sudden?'' shree yelled at her, and she stopped fighting. She also glared at him.

''you were acting like hurt.u gave me a heart attack, and now u don't know why I am behaving like this? Wow..what more to expect from an unemotional jerk like u!'' she said in a angry mode.

''oh really? I am jerk? And u poured water on me, that was nothing?'' shree also yelled at her.

''that was a joke.''

''it was a joke too.''

''no, it was not.you know how I felt?'' suddenly she was in tears. And all the anger in shree flew away.

''hey.i am really sorryI didn't meant to hurt u.'' shree was genuinely sorry. He was surprised that she was shedding tears in such a small matter. But it was not time to tease her about it.shree wiped the tears running on her cheek. She first slapped it away, but he didn't gave up, and was successful in his work after some more attempt. Puja looked at him with anger in eyes, and he was instantly feeling more  sorry to make her cry.

''hey.sorry. I will never do something like that. Sorry?'' he hold his ears to say sorry, and she laughed. Soon they understood what an awkward position they were, so close to each other. They felt embarrass and shree freed her arm from his grip.
