Naye Rishte - 2

The ETF office was abuzz with secretive whispers and suspicious glances as Riya stepped inside that morning. She frowned, sensing the unusual hush. Normally, the place was filled with Shree’s nerdy rants, Chotu’s food-related chatter, or Arjun barking orders with his signature scowl. But today…

Today, something felt off.

As she walked past Shree’s desk, he quickly minimized his screen, looking anywhere but at her.

“Huh?” She narrowed her eyes. “Shree, tum kya kar rahe ho?”

“Main? Kuch bhi toh nahi!” He let out a nervous chuckle, rubbing the back of his neck. “Bas… kaam kar raha hoon!”

Riya tilted her head suspiciously. Shree and kaam? That too without a break for some unnecessary tech trivia? Something was definitely up.

Before she could question him further, Liza and Chhaya appeared out of nowhere and practically dragged her toward the conference room.

“Arre! Kya kar rahi ho tum dono?” Riya huffed, struggling in their grip.

Liza smirked. “Itni questions kyun? Tu forensic lab se toh door rehti hai, par itna questioning skill hai ki forensic officer ko bhi doubt aa jaye!”

Chhaya giggled. “Bas chalo… tumse ek file discuss karni hai.”

“Agar file discuss karni hai toh conference room kyun?” Riya argued.

“Bas chal na!”

Just as they reached the door, the lights inside the conference room went out, plunging the space into darkness.

Riya blinked. “Yeh kya—”

Suddenly, the room lit up with a burst of colorful lights, and a chorus of voices yelled—

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RIYAAAAAA!”

Riya froze. Her heart skipped a beat.

The entire team stood there, grinning at her. The long conference table was decorated with balloons, streamers, and a big, delicious-looking chocolate cake sitting at the center.

Her lips parted in surprise. “Oh my God… tum sab…”

Ayesha smirked, arms crossed. “Shocking, right?”

Sakshi beamed, clapping her hands. “Finally! Tumhare face pe yeh expression dekhne mila!”

Shree grinned. “Dekha! Mission ‘Surprise Riya’ successful!”

Chotu, stuffing a samosa into his mouth, muffled, “Bhaat bola tha tumhe!”

Liza leaned closer and whispered dramatically, “Aur yeh sab mastermind thi—humari Special Agent Ayesha Kapoor!”

Riya’s eyes widened, shifting to Ayesha. The undercover cop gave a nonchalant shrug.

“Itna toh banta hai, Riya,” she said casually. “Aakhir tum sirf ETF ka part nahi… humari family ka bhi hissa ho.”

Riya felt warmth bloom in her chest.

And then… her eyes instinctively searched for one particular person.

Arjun stood at the far end, his arms folded, an unreadable expression on his face. He wasn’t the type to participate in such things, but… he was there. Watching.

Their gazes met.

For a fleeting second, she thought she saw something soft in his eyes—something almost… warm. But then, just as quickly, he schooled his expression into his usual stoic mask.

“Agar ho gaya toh cake kaat sakti ho?” he asked dryly.

The moment broke.

Shree groaned. “Yaar, Arjun sir… mood toh mat kharab karo!”

Sakshi grinned mischievously. “Arre, relax! Abhi toh Arjun ka special gift bhi baaki hai, hai na?”

Riya turned abruptly. “Kya?”

Arjun shot Sakshi a sharp glare. “Koi zaroorat nahi.”

Sakshi pouted dramatically. “Bohot boring ho, ACP Rawte!”

Chhaya nudged Sameer playfully. “Sir, aap toh kuch kahenge? Special birthday girl ke liye?”

Sameer, ever the composed leader, gave Riya a rare, genuine smile. “Bas itna kahunga… ETF mein tum sirf ek officer nahi, ek energy ho, Riya. Tumhari presence hamesha light bring karti hai. And we’re lucky to have you.”

Riya blinked back the sudden moisture in her eyes.

“Bas bas, itna emotional mat karo!” Chotu dramatically wiped fake tears. “Cake kaato warna main sab khatam kar dunga!”

Laughing, Riya stepped forward and cut the cake, feeding a bite to Sameer first out of respect. Then to Shree, Chotu, and the rest.

When she turned to Arjun, there was a heavy silence.

For a second, nobody spoke.

Arjun raised an eyebrow. “Kya?”

Riya hesitated. “Aap nahi khaoge?”

Arjun sighed. “Formalities zaroori hai kya?”

Shree coughed loudly, muttering, “Haan, haan, zaroori hai.”

Sakshi nudged Riya mischievously. “Tu khila, hum sab dekh rahe hain.”

Riya hesitated for a beat before lifting a small bite toward him.

Arjun held her gaze for a long second… before sighing and finally taking the bite.

Everyone erupted in cheers.

“Ajeeb din hai yaar!” Chotu laughed. “Arjun sir ne voluntarily cake kha liya! Kal shaayad baarish bhi gulabi hogi!”

Arjun rolled his eyes but didn’t comment.

Riya just smiled to herself, feeling… oddly happy.

Maybe, just maybe… this birthday was her best one yet.
