Part 5
Riya is listening all this with open mouth. She couldnt believe Sameer Rathod who used to give speech about women empowerment and his appeals to women to join police force was like that in training periods.
Arjun:Jo Rathod tum soch rahi ho wo isi kaaran aisa hai..use apni galti ka ehsaas ho gaya tha isiliye kai uski help ke liye maan gaya..
Riya:Ye to achhi baat hai sir..galti ka ehsaas agar na ho to mafi koi mayne nahi rakhti..
Arjun:Exactly.
After sometime Arjun leaves reminding Riya about the treat.
He first go to Rathod's home to check upon him. He make him have dinner and medicines and go home and gets ready. On the way to Riya's home he inform her that he will reach soon.
He reach her home at 8 pm sharp and see her waiting outside. Riya go towards his car seeing him.
Arjun see her and get lost for a while. She was wearing dark blue evening gown and no make up except kajal and lipstick.
Riya:Sir??
Arjun(composing himself):Haan Riya.. chale?
Riya smiles and nods.
In car
Both were stealing glances of each other from time to time when other is not looking. Arjun was wearing blue shirt with black trousers matching her attire.
Arjun:Tum bahut achhi lag rahi ho Riya.
Riya:Thank you sir..aap bhi bahut achhe lag rahe hain.
In sometime they reach a restaurant. A soft music was played in background making atmosphere warm and cosy.
Manager:Sir aaj hamare restaurant ki 5th anniversary ki khushi me couples ke liye special offer hai.
Both were embarrassed hearing 'couples'.
Arjun:Uh..we are not couples..just friends.
Manager:Oh i am sorry sir.
Arjun just nods and he leaves. They order food and talks side by side.
Riya:Sir ek baat puchu.
Arjun:Ye dusri baar hai aaj jab tum ye sawal puch rahi ho.
Riya(smiling sheepishly):Puchu?
Arjun:Pucho.
Riya:Aapko kabhi pyaar nahi hua? I mean aapke training period me koi ladki ya koi dost jisse aap sab share kar sake?
Arjun:Nahi Riya..actually mera focus mere career pe zyada tha shuru se hi to ladki ke baare me socha nahi kabhi..aur dost..jo bhi mere dost the wo sirf isiliye ki mai ek famous industrialist Mr Suryakant Rawte ke beta hu..mere sachhe dost to Sam Ayesha..aur ab tum ho..tum batao?

Arjun(surprised):Really Riya? Well i didnt see this coming..
Riya:I know sir..mai aisi hi hu kya karu.. zyada baate nahi karti but fir jiske saath comfortable ho jau then you can't stop me.
Both laughs. After dinner they go for a walk in restaurant's garden.
Arjun:Are haan Riya..mai tumhare liye gift laya tha..
Riya(excited):Really..dikhaiye na..
He smiles seeing her excitement and takes out a box from his pocket and gives her.
Riya opens it and finds a cute blue heart shape pendant.
Riya:Its so beautiful..thank you sir..
Arjun:Welcome..kholo ise..
She opens the pendant and finds her photo on one side. She gasps in surprise and looks at him.

Riya:Pasand..i loved it..
She hugs him and he hugs her back. He makes her wear it.
Arjun:Riya kafi der ho gayi ghar chale.
She nods and they leaves.
In car
Riya was adoring the pendant Arjun gifted her and Arjun smiled seeing it.
Arjun(smirks):Riya ye hamesha tumhare paas hi rahega..itna mat niharo ise..
Riya:Hmm looks like someone is jealous.. mai aapko chodke ise attention de rahi hu aap jal rahe hain hmm..
Arjun:Mai aur jealous wo bhi ek pendant se..bilkul nahi..wo gift diya bhi to maine hi hai na..

Arjun:Ok ok maan liya i am jealous.
Riya laughs.

Soon they reach her home and Arjun leaves for his after bidding night.
Next day

Arjun:Sabko samajh aa gaya..mai aur Ayesha andar jayenge..hamara signal milte hi tum log backup force ke saath hamla kar dena..got it
Choree:Yes sir.
They leave for last minute preparation.

Arjun:Rathod kaisa hai..uski koi khabar.
Ayesha:Haan aaj mai gayi thi subah..he is little better..maine ek maid laga di hai uske liye..use jo chahiye hoga de degi.
Arjun:Ok thats good..Ayesha tum usse abhi bhi naraaz ho..
Ayesha:Sach kahu to nahi..maine dekha hai ki wo apni galti regret kar raha hai aur dil se mafi mangna chahata hai..lekin mai intezar kar rahi hu ki kab wo khud kahega.. aur ab to wo office bhi nahi ayega to shayad milna bhi na ho hamara..
Arjun(smiles):I am sure jald hi kahega wo..wo nahi aa sakta to kya hua hum to ja sakte hain na..
Ayesha:Hmm right..Jun ek promise karo..tum ye baat use nahi bataoge ki mai usse naraz nahi hu..yahan tak ki ek hint bhi nahi doge..
Arjun:Par..
Ayesha:Please..mai chahati hu wo khud aye
Arjun:Ok..promise.
Ayesha(smiles):Thanks..chale ab.
He nods and they all leaves for pub.
Here Riya gets ready for office and wears the pendant Arjun gifted her happily.
In office
Riya's friends were teasing her seeing the pendant.
Riya:Dekho guys aisa kuch nahi hai..(seriously) tum log jante ho na i stay away from boys..to please aage se aisa kuch mat kehna..
Friend one(Nikita):Ok sorry yaar..hume nahi pata tha tu itni serious ho jayegi..
Firend two(Divya):Haan Ritz..we are sorry.. achha bata kal kya kiya..

Divya:We understand Ri..oh koi to hai tumhe comfortable feel karane wala..chal ab bata.

Trio hugs.
In pub
2 dealers were in their room surrounded by few goons.
Dealer 1:Police ko bhanak tak nahi lagegi din dahade deal bhi ho jayegi.
Dealer 2:Haan..wo to raat ko chapa maarenge aur milega kya..thenga..
Both laughs loudly.
Outside
ETF reaches pub. Arjun Ayesha show the pass to bouncers and goes inside. They acts like dancing which Choree see from the camera fitted in their clothes.
Shree(keeps finger on his mike):Dekh dekh Chotu kaha tha na maine in dono ka kuch to chal raha hai..
Chotu(keeps finger on his mike):Aila haan Shree tune to sahi kaha tha..mujhe laga Rathod sir aur Ayesha ki koi kahani hai..
Shree:Are simple hai Chotu..Rathod sir Ayesha ke peeche Ayesha Arjun sir ke peeche..
Chotu:Too much fun..
Both laughs. Suddenly
Arjun:Shree Chotu kuch dikha tum dono ko..
Shree:No sir ab tak to shak karne jaisa kuch nahi..
Arjun:Dhyan se dekho..agar wo dealer iss baar bach gaye to agli baar pakadna mushkil hojayega..comedy chodo aur kaam karo..samjhe ya samjhau
Choree:Samajh gaye sir..i mean yes sir.
Inside
Arjun spots a person trying to sneek down in basement. He tells this to Choree and them to be ready. Ayesha see here and there and spots some drugs packets there.
Arjun:Chotu Shree andar aa jao back up ke saath.
They along with back up enters inside and takes everyone in custody. Ayesha and Shree takes drugs under their custody and goes in basement.
Arjun put dealers on gunpoint and ask them to surrender. Seeing no way of escaping they surrender. They handover them to crime branch and heads for ETF. They complete all formalities till evening.
At evening
They go to Rathod's home to meet him. He feels happy seeing Ayesha but she pretend to ignore him making him sad. Arjun feels helpless as he promised Ayesha he wont't tell anything to Rathod. After dinner all leaves.
Like this four more days passes and Arjun Ayesha Shree Chotu are done with the raids. They submit collective report to commissioner and hand over culprits to crime branch for further investigation.
In these 4 days Arjun Riya frequently talk and meet each other. He told Riya about Ayesha feelings and now they just have to wait for case to get over. Rathod also got somewhat better but still he can't give pressure in his legs so he still needs some rest. ETF visit him daily so he dont feel alone but Ayesha just talk about work and nothing else and Rathod to participate so as to not to make her uncomfortable.
Next day of last raid
Arjun:Aaj commissioner sir aane wale hain.
Shree:Koi khaas wajah sir?
Arjun:Pata nahi Shree..unhone bas kaha ki team se kuch important baat karni hai..
After sometime commissioner arrives.
Commissioner:Congrats officers you guys again proved you are one of the best team in the country.
All nods.
Commissioner:And Ms Ayesha Kapoor you proved yourself an asset to ETF..you didn't disappointed me.
Ayesha:Thank you sir.
Commissioner:Aapko ETF me isi case ke liye appoint kiya tha Ms Kapoor..ab ye case khatam ho chuka hai so i guess your work here is also over.
All gets shocked hearing this. Ayesha face fells hearing it. She now have to leave her friend and love behind but she don't have control over it so she gives a forced smile. Choree also get sad. They kinda bonded well with Ayesha and were impressed seeing her skills and intelligence.
Arjun(mv):Shit..ab Ayesha chali jayegi to Rathod..mujhe kuch bhi karke Ayesha ko ETF me hi rokna hoga..
Arjun:But sir..Ayesha ne kitni bahaduri ke saath iss case pe work kiya..aapko nahi lagta she should be awarded by being in one of the best team that is ETF.
Commissioner:Hmm..ACP Arjun i have to talk to higher officals about your recommendation.
He leaves. Everyone's face falls.
