Okay, as of now I am unsure if I will continue writing more OSs/ SSs as MT has also quit the show. I feel sad on her leaving, not only because I liked the pairing, but moreso because the CVs ruined a perfect chance. I will wait and watch what they bring us, and decide on what I will do.
Early Sunday morning, at the ETF office Sakshi had just given some information on the case. She sat listening to the team brainstorming what this new information could mean. She knew that Arjun had something in his mind, as he'd started twirling his pen as if he was possessed. She also knew that before anyone left the building Sameer would have a few not so nice words to say to her.
She had taken the duty to babysit Sameer's mini-me on Saturday night so Ayesha and he could have a dinner and movie date. She had a blast spending time with her little sunshine, Ishu was so much like his dad, and Sakshi had fun spoiling him, getting him to help her make chocolate chip cookies.
Just like Sameer, he hated getting his hands dirty, but just like with Sam she could get Ishu to come and be crazy with her. After the cookies were done they had played some video games she had "lent"from Shree. And after all that was done Ishu and she both had sat in front of the telly wrapped up in a blanket with milk and cookies watching what turned out to be a HUGE mistake. It was also the reason why Sam was looking like he would explode any given moment.
"Okay guys, we'll split in two teams, Rawte you take Shree and Ayesha. I'll take Liza and Chhotu with me. And Sakshi, you aren't going anywhere, you will fix the problem before I get back!"
'Phew, at least he didn't dammit me' Sakshi thought. But then she couldn't stop a small smirk from creeping up her face. "What do you want me to fix Sameer?"
"Dammit Rawte!"
"Maine kya kiya?" A visibly shocked Arjun asked.
"Chup chaap kharre raho. Aur Sakshi if it is not fixed by the time we get back today, I will make sure to get some very scary chhipkalis in your house!" Sameer's threat maade Sakshi go white. 'Why not question killers? Why chhipkallis? Had he even seen any of those scary creatures?' She thought to herself.
"It was an accident Sameer, I didn't mean for it to happen." Sakshi said.
Nodding at her Sameer turned and left. "Liza, Chhotu, I expect you to be done grilling her in 5 minutes, meet me at the car. Warna Rawte se zyada achhe se samjhana aata hai mujhe. Ayesha, come with me."
As soon as he left the rest of the team huddled around her asking what had happened.
"Rathore sir ne almost tumhe dammit bola! He has never done that, kya hua?" Shree asked.
"Thanks Sakshi, abhi Rathore sir meri jaan ke peechhe pare rahenge."Chhotu said.
"Arre guys, aisa kuchh nahi hai, maine to bas Mini-Sam ko ek cheez sikhayi, jo mujhe nahi sikhani chahiye thi."
"Tumne usse gaali dena sikhaya?" Arjun asked. The poor guy was getting shock upon shock today.
"Nope, even worse," Sakshi said as an evil grin formed on her face. "I taught him The Junglebook title song."
"Haan to usme ghalat kya hai? That is a great song! It is part of a child's cultural upbringing! Agar woh tumhare upar uski wajah se gusse hua hai, to don't worry. Main abhi usse baat karunga."Arjun said.
"Ofhhoo! Pehle tumlog meri baat to sun lo! Nahi to aggar aise beach mein apni bakbak karte rahoge to bina jaane hi chale jaana. Gaane mein koyi problem nahi hai. Problem is in the fact that before we went to bed Ishu and I watched the jungle book. Or at least tried to. Usko title song itna passand aya ke usne usse rewind kar kar ke kam se kam 15 times suna hoga. I mean imagine Sameer coming homeand listening to the song the whole day. Chaddi pahen ke phool khila hai phool khila hai."
"SAKSHI!"
Sameer's shout made everyone jump up and pretend that they were just getting ready to leave.
"Best of luck miss Publicist." Arjun whispered in her ear before hurriedly making an exit.
Sakshi put her head in her hands, thinking on how she was going to fix this.

"Okay, Ishu, we have to have a talk." Sakshi told Ishu as she tried to get him to sit with her, but apparently 4 year olds don't know what sitting means. She thought again, and then took him with her to the kitchen to make cupcakes with spiderman frosting.
When he was listening to her she started talking.
"Ishu your dad doesn't like it when you sing the song again and again.You know he hasn't talked to me because he is mad at me, because I tought you the song. It's okay, agar aapko song passand hai, lekin sab logon ko nahi passand hota na. Like I told you, agar aapko koi gaana baar baar sunna hai, to aap apna headphones use karsakte ho. Fir kissi ko koi takleef nahi hogi.
"But buaaa, mujhe loud sunna bahut passand hai!"Ishu told her.
"Hmm, and what do you think if you see your dad hugging your mom?"Sakshi asked him
"Yuckyyy!!! I saw daddy kissing mommy once! I told them that it was really gross and to not do it ever again when I am also in the room."
"Achha, aur tumhare dad ne kya kaha?"
"He said that he would make sure to not make me uncomfor uncome.. that again."
"See, unhone yeh isiliye kaha, because he respects you and he wants you to be comfortable. Tumhe nahi passand, to woh tumhare saamne nahi karenge. Tumhe bhi to fir unke feelings ki kadr karni chahiye na, if he doesn't like the song you shouldn't sing it when he is in the room. And waise bhi, if you will always sing that song, when will you find any other song you might like? I have added a whole bunch of new songs to your playlist, tumne sunne?"
Ishu shook his head in the negative. Sakshi quickly got Sameer's laptop and searched through Ishu's playlist for a song she knew he would love. She stopped at a song she knew he would love, after all he could move around while singing it.
And by the time the cupcakes were done they had danced to a dozen old songs, and Ishu in Mini-Sam style had nodded his head at seeing his bua's silly dancing.

Sakshi considered her quest of samjhaofying the youngest Rathore a huge succes, and when Sameer and Ayesha came back she told them that they could go home without worrying anymore.
"Lekin Sameer," Sakshi said.
"Haan Sakshi?"
"Agar tumne mujhe aaj ke baad threaten kiya toh main usko 90's ke pop songs ke songs download karke de doongi."
Sameer laughed as he watched her enter Arjun's cabin, he knew she wasn't joking though.
