ARAKSHI:MERE HUMDUM. (chap 5 updated, pg 10) - Page 2

Chotu jokes about the appearance about the so called reporter on one side while on the other side a girl is shown entering the ETF office, totally opposite of what Chotu thinks what the reporter will look like.

Lights comeback Chotu stares at the girl with an open mouth in shock. Shree, Chotu and Ayesha keep starring at the girl as she walks towards them. Girl introduces herself as Shakshi Anand.

Shree keeps staring at her, totally lost in her beauty and then when Ayesha calls out his name he comes out of his trance and stammers out his and Chotu's introduction. Liza enters the room just as Shakshi asks what Shree does and taunts Shree's computer skills. She does compliment Shree at the end though.

Liza introduces herself to Shakshi.

Shakshi tells she is happy to meet them all and can't wait to meet rest of the team. Aisha tells that the other members are Rathore and Arjun. Shakshi gets excited and says I have heard so much about Arjun Rawte and ask where his cabin is located.e Arjun inhis office in deep thought twirling his pen around his fingers. Shakshi extends her hand and says hi, Arjun checks her by running his eyes up and down, Shakshi introduces herself and says hi again, Arjun finally shakes her hand

Arjun ask what she wants, Shakshi says I don't want anything but the home minister wants me to shadow you so that I can show the public what ETF does. Arjun calls her publicist Arjun then says we are not film stars we don't need media coverage, you are in a wrong place.

Shakshi nods her head then pulls out her phone and extends it to him and tells him to call the home minister and tell him this. Just then Rathore enters Arjun's cabin and says there is no need, DIG had called to tell him she was coming. This irritates Arjun.

Rathore introduces himself to Shakshi and mentions that she is a famous crime reported.Sakshi says it will be fun to work with you, Arjun immediately says who. Shakshi takes it as a joke and says she will take their leave now.

A new case comes.A taxi driver dump a suitcase in an area.In the suitcase there was a dead body. Rathore puts Chotu on task of finding the taxi driver.

Meanwhile Arjun takes a closer look at the suitcase. Sakshi joins him. Arjun finds that bag is expensive.and sakshi says the same. Chotu and Ayesha arrives at the taxi driver's place where he and his wife are trying to leave. At the ETF office husband and wife is talking Rathore and Arjun. Taxi driver and his wife. Driver explains how he got the suitcase.

Outside the interrogation room, Sakshi asks Ayesha if there is been a missing persons report on a girl, Ayesha says no, Sakshi concludes that the girls parents must not be local. Ayesha is impressed by Sakshi's skill.

In the forensic lab, Liza tells them about what she found on the body and in the suitcase. Sakshi thinks it's a love bite, which brings smile to everyone's face except for the two ACP

Sakshi tries to lighten the mood by telling one of her past story and she irritates Arjun and they continue to discuss the case..

In the ETF car, Arjun, Rathore and Shakshi are together. Shakshi keeps looking at Arjun through the rearview mirror. Arjun notices and says what?

Shakshi says she was thinking about the case, she then moves forward and recaps the case, she then taps Arjun on the shoulder, which earns her a glare from Arjun and it amuses Rathore.

Arjun then says anything else, Shakshi says, don't you ever smile, ever since I met you, you are wearing a serious expression. Rathore has a hard time hiding his smile.
Shakshi then says at first you seemed khadoos to me but I see something else behind your serious face. Arjun looks at Shakshi in the rearview mirror with a surprised expression. They stare at each other for a moment and Arjun again says what? Shakshi says pain, leaving Arjun stunned and Rathore looking out the window.

Everyone leaves, except for Shakshi and Arjun. Shakshi says Amit looked so calm it didn't even seem as though he took a life. Arjun says the need for revenge is bigger than temper and pain and that can make person do anything. The need for revenge increases as the pain of loss increases. He surprises Shakshi. Arjun further says that until and unless the revenge is complete there is no peace.

Sakshi say, who know this better than you Arjun. Arjun walks away as Shakshi looks on.
