#1 : "..someone you care about."
He lost counting for last how many minutes he had been observing her, working on the report for their last case.
Even though a fair bulletproof glass panel blocked her view to where he was hiding..ummm, standing; he still wondered how she still hasn't noticed him.
Then he realized that maybe, she didn't want to talk to him. Not because she was angry at him, no she wasn't.. But maybe because after he had made his point, proved that he was "right".. maybe she didn't know what else to say other than "congratulations! You are right and I'm wrong.. As always!".
That's where she was wrong- To think that she was wrong and he was right. Cause frankly, none of them were absolutely right or wrong.
And after what he overheard her saying to Aisha during the case, he really believed she had a right to be so adamant about her own perspective.
The last case was about a "vigilante" killing off rapists from his list.
Arjun had stood his ground saying the vigilante was wrong, taking law in his hands - no one deserved to die.
Where Saakshi warily stood by her perspective - rapists deserved to die. Rape was worse than death, at least for a girl. So if the so called law was unable to give them justice and someone else was able to then she didn't find anything wrong with it.
The vigilante was doing a good thing, cleaning up some dirt from the society where law was handcuffed by corruption.
See, how complicated it is? Sometimes there has to be a 3rd way too. A middle ground.
And she needed to realize it.
So he took a deep breath and walked in. Ands as predicted, she stopped scribbling but didn't look at him. She fidgeted her brows before ignoring him completely and resuming her writing.
Of course he had to come and rub it in her face that "huh-I'm-right-again". She decided she was having none of it tonight.. Maybe if she ignored him well enough, he'd give up and walk away!
Oh who was she kidding!?! He was THE ACP Arjun Rawte- eet ka jawab bullet se was his agenda. So, horrified, she watched him taking the seat beside her from the corner of her eyes.
Here goes her "ignorance is the best policy" down the hole.
Saakshi sighed and looked at him. "Yes Arjun, you were right and I'm wrong.. Like always! Congratulations!" She said in a rushed breath.. Absolutely exhausted to even deal with his SYS now, so she pleaded, "but can we please postpone your SYS? Bohot tthak chuki hoon."
"No." He replied immediately, making her groan.
"You need to know and realize that you weren't wrong as well. Yes, being a police officer, I can't very well take law in my own hands." He said, steady and strong - meaning every word.
"Even though shooting criminals is kind of my thing." He muttered under his breath. If it was another not so serious situation, Saakshi would have laughed at his own declaration.
But obviously her lips twitched and formed an amused grin which vanished as soon as he turned his gaze back to her."Galat tum bhi nehi ho Saakshi. Nazariya alag hoti hai par iska matlab yeh nehi woh galat ho."
Saakshi nodded in acknowledgement. He stood up, ready to leave but looked at her over his shoulder.
"I guess I'd have done the same if someone"..'you' went unvoiced.."I really care about got hurt"
"I wouldn't hesitate killing."
*music starts, wind blows & stare wala love🤣*
Leaving Saakshi totally bewildered, he walked away.. Ordering her to be in parking lot in 5 minutes.
He didn't mean her, did he?
Don't be ridiculous! Saakshi reminded herself.. He said someone he care about not someone who disgust him.
Swallowing the bitter truth, she gathered her belongings and walked to the elevator.
Once she pressed the keys, a sudden thought finally crossed her mind.What if he had heard her and Aisha's little chit chat?
Oh no!
Her stomach rolled with tension and she felt sick.
Please.. He can't know, she prayed to whoever almighty was listening.
