Arakshi: zindagi ke rang
~chapter 1~
He stood there alone, leaning too the glass frame of his cabin. He saw around him how people were carefree, happy, jovial... he was once like them, but not anymore. life had taught him many things...
He smiled at them totally aware that there was no one to see him smile...
He did not want anyone to now that there was a gentle person, a lonely soul who craved for some love...
He did not want anyone to see the pain well hidden behind the mask of a ruthless, arrogant cop..
He did not want anyone to come near him and put their lives in danger...he had let her to come too close to him resulting her leaving him for ever...
Cos he had many enemies...the number he could not even count...right from the days in his college and training center till this day he had made less friends and more enemies...
But little did he know, there was one person who could read him very well...his best friend whom he had pushed away from himself to protect him... but after avenging the death of his love, he was unable to weld back the gap...
Arjun Raute stood few feet away, hidden from direct view and saw his friend smiling at his juniors...
He very well knew that sameer, his best friend Sam cared for his team but would never let anyone know...
There was only one person who could now bring his old Sam back... Sakshi...
Sameer Rathod, ETF chief, known for his efficiency, his brilliant way of leading ETF, walked back to his chair when her memories started haunting him...
Her dazzling smile, her words, the way she understood him... he sighed and closed his eyes, hoping to see her smile. He was brought out by a phone call.
"hello. ACP Sameer Rathod, ETF"
"Rathod. Coelho here."
"Jai Hind sir..."
"Rathod ek nayi member ETF join karne waali hai. Crime reporter hai jot um logon ke kaam cover karegi"
"magar sir, inn khatron ke raah par ek inexperienced ladki ko team mein lena...its risky"
"don't worry. She is the best. Aur inexperienced??? No Rathod... she is very much trained by a very efficient person. She can handle herself and help you people also.. wo kabhi bhi tumhare office aa sakti hai. Welcome her with open arms... Jai Hind"
"sure sir. Jai Hind"
He kept the receiver down and closed his eyes again.
Arjun saw and just hoped that what he had planned went well. He wished that he would not give cold shoulder to her as he did to him...
Suddenly the door opened and a girl in her twenties entered.. she was wearing black jeans with a silver colored long top, golden belt on her waist. Her hair left open and she flashed a dazzling smile.
Shree, chotu and liza saw in astonishment as Arjun went to her and hugged her.
"arre ye kya hai yaar...akdu kisi ladki ke saath???"
"chup kar specky... shayad unki koi friend hogi...ya girl friend..."
"koi bhi ho...isse tujhe kya liza... waise bhi Shree, mera matlab tum to apne specky ko chodne se rahi..."chotu grinned.
"shut up chotu..."
On the other side, Arjun went and hugged sakshi.
"jaanu... welcome to ETF... he said in a low voice and asked Shree to call everyone to conference room.
Sameer Rathod was the last to come and as soon as he saw her, he froze.
No...it cant be... she should not be here... she is not meant to be in this world.
He simply went and took is place. Sakshi stood and handed him a file.
"Sakshi Rathod. Crime journalist. Dustin sir ne aapko mere aane ke baare mein bata diya hoga sir..."
He just stared her for a minute, much to amusement of other team members. He simply stood up, threw the file on table and pointed at her
"tum, galat jagah aayi ho.yahan hume koi journalist ki zaroorat nahin hai. Tum yahan humare madad ke liye nahin balki humare liye ek pareshaani ho. I don't want any more lives in danger because of you"
He strode out of the cabin much to annoyance of Arjun. He saw sakshi standing shell shocked and went to her.
"sakshi... tum theek ho?????"
she just nodded and hugged him. he caressed her hair and pecked her forehead.
"arre...ye maajra kya hai yaar... Rathod sir to iss sakshi pe aise hi bhadak pade...aur ye samjhe ya samjhau to aisa behave kar raha hai maano koi unki jaan ko kuch bol raha ho..."
Liza smacked his head and trio went towards sakshi. Arjun saw them and was bit embarrassed. He parted from her and stood aside.
"hi sakshi... I am Shree..."
"iska matlab Shreekant sen.. tech expert hai... myself liza d'cruz. Forensic expert. Ye chotu hai... humare team ka commando" "hi sakshi.."
"hi... mein Sakshi Rathod."
"meri fiance hai..." Arjun said with a smile to which she rewarded him with a smile.
