Ch2.
Two days passed by and 29th October is here.
ETF Headquarters,Mumbai.
Everybody is sitting in the conference room,doing their paperwork of the recently solved case.Shree brought in the medicines of Arjun and Liza checked his temperature.Arjun is secretly glancing at the clock and is waiting for the clock to struck at 9pm.
Liza and Shree saw Arjun looking at the clock after every 5 minutes.
''Sir,agar aap aise apne gardan ghumate rahenge toh aapka correct temperature nahi ayega.Agar normal temperature nahi aaya,toh,Ri humari khabar legi... (smiles) Sir,uski flight 9 baje land karegi...bahar nikalte kareeban 9:30 ya 10 toh bajenge hi... Aap relax kijiye... (takes out the thermometer) Temperature is normal... Bas yeh medicines do aur din continue karni hogi...'' Liza said.
Arjun nodded like a obedient student.Shree,Liza,Sameer,Ayesha and Chotu smiled at their antics.
After an hour,all the paperworks were completed and were signed by Arjun and Rathod.
Everyone was killing their time by doing some other things.Arjun was listening to songs in his I-Pod,Shree,Chotu and Liza were playing PS3 in Shree's cubicle,while,Sameer and Ayesha were planning for Ariya's wedding.
Suddenly,Arjun's phone beeped with its alarm saying, ''Its 8:15pm''.
Arjun informed everyone about the time and called it a day.They took two SUVs to the airport.
Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport,Arrival Lounge.
Arjun and the others were waiting for Riya to come out.It was 08:57pm.Arjun was pacing around the Waiting Area.Rathod and the others smiled at his antics.Rathod went upto him and placed his hands on Arjun's shoulder.
''Arjun,9 bajne mein 3 minute baki hai..Thora sabar karo,yaar... Riya ko plane se utarne mein aur immigration ki formalities pura karne mein 9:30 toh bajege,nah?''
''Rathod... Yeh 3 minute bhi mere liye 3 saalo ya phir usse bhi zyada lagraha hai...8 mahino se usse nahi dekha maine...Main kitna akela feel karta thha Riya ke bina... (hears the clock struck 9pm) OMG... Sam... 9pm baj gaye...''
Arjun squealed in excitement because Riya's flight has landed.Everyone were really excited to see their Riya after 8 months.
Finally,Riya came out from the Arrival Lounge.She saw everyone waiting for her,welcoming her with a big smile...
Arjun opened his arms,signalling Riya to come to his arms.Riya ran towards Arjun and hugged him tightly...Arjun hugged Riya tightly... It was a emotional scene.. Arjun had tears of happiness in his eyes... Riya broke the hug and wiped the tears.She kissed his cheeks and said, ''Aapki Riya agayi Arjun...''
Saying that,Riya again hugged Arjun... After a while,Riya broke the hug and met with Rathod,Shree,Ayesha,Liza and Chotu.She hugged the other and exchanged greetings.
''Riya,tum aaj hi aayi ho,toh,Comissioner sir ne tumhe puri 1 week ki Leave di hai.Take proper rest aur haan,shaadi ki preparations ke baare mein zyada mat sochna.Woh sab main,Shree,Ayesha,Liza,Chotu aur uski mangetar sambhal lenge... Arjun missed you a lot...Uske saath time spend karo... (turning to Arjun) Rawte... Tumhe toh office aana parega,kyunki,tumhare ''Samjhe ya Samjhau'' se ETF ki subha hoti hai...'' Rathod said and everyone laughed.
Arjun glared at the others and Riya smiled at their antics.
''Tum log jao... Main Riya ko uske ghar drop kardunga...'' Arjun said t the others.
Chotu and Shree kept Riya's luggages in Arjun's SUV.After bidding Goodbyes',Sameer left with the others',while Riya left with Arjun.
After 20mins,Riya reached her house.Arjun helped her to take the luggages in.Riya kept the luggages inside her bedroom and came outside where Arjun was sitting in the sofa.She sat beside him and kept her her on his shoulder.They spend some quality time together,talking about everything,related to ETF.She asked about Arjun's Aai and Baba...They planned to do some light party some day after Riya's leave is over.
''Arjun,bohut raat hochuki hai... Ab aapko ghar jaana chahiye... Aai aapki intezaar kar rahi hongi... Hum kal subha milte hai,thik hai.''
''Thik hai... Main kal subha aajaunga... Aur,tumhare liye kal shyam ko ek welcome party hai,Cafe Hard Rock Cafe mein...I will pick you up. Aur yeh tumhare liye... Maine li hai tumhari favorite colored dress...Taiyaar rehna by 7pm,ok... Take care...Bye... Good night...''
Arjun told Riya and was about to leave when Riya pulled him and sealed his lips with hers.Arjun was surprised at her actions,but,he also gave in to the kiss. It was a soft kiss,but,soon,it turned to be a passionate one.After a while,they broke the kiss and Arjun left,not before hugging her and pecking her lips lightly.
