Part6:
When Aisha continued to argue again, Rathod flared up suddenly "Why don't you understand Aisha? I cant risk anything when it concerns you…"
He stopped the SUV suddenly to the side when he said that…..she was a bit terrified seeing him so angry and she voiced in the impulse "sir….aap aise kyun…."
He turned to her side…it was time he told her what his true feelings were….it was now or never perhaps….
He spoke up immediately in the same or even more annoyed tone,
"kyun ki I love you dammit!"
************************
Shocked would never be the right word….it was way beyond that for Aisha….had she heard it right or had she started imagining things that he never voiced out??
Did his mere presence next to her make her loose the little bit of sanity that she had these days??? Yes these days, she wasn't being her own self when he was around….his stealing glances at her weren't oblivious to her….she could feel it every time he glanced at her, but she chose to ignore it and never looked at him if wasn't required….
Perhaps, she felt meeting his gaze would be difficult to handle for her…especially after the instances at the jewellery store!
The slow melting away of the formal walls between them was also a catalyst and she was losing a grip on herself at times….but she had always tried to gather herself up….after all, she was a cop and she didn't want to lose that image of hers!
While on this side, she was trying to solve her confusion and shock as to if he had really said that or was she plain imagining things, his state was no better…..
He had just spoke up in an impulse but was a bit uncertain of whether he did the right thing to have confessed his feelings to her so abruptly and fiercely almost scaring her like hell…. he had done it in the most extreme manner…..He looked away from her closing his mouth in shock, smacking himself for having done that! He wasn't regretting of having opening up his feelings for her but only regretted the manner he did it….
What would she be thinking??? It should have been beautiful, sensitive, and delicate and he just ruined all of it in haste…..
Aisha was the first to recover from the sudden twisty happenings….
She slowly voiced out, "sir aapne kuch kahaa?? I mean maine kuch…" [Her words trailed off not knowing how to complete what she wanted to ask him]
That formal "sir" annoyed him a bit…was she trying to distance herself because of his abrupt proposal as she didn't want to give him any wrong signals or hope?
But he was a sharp cop by himself…he had sensed what she felt for him as well….his judgment never went wrong and this time, it told him that she loved him too….
***********************
Having come this far, he wasn't going to back out now….
He turned back to her side "haan kaha tha…kya tumne suna nahi?"
Aisha couldn't help lowering her gaze but yet she had a wish to hear him say that again in a much more soft mellowed tone…
Despite his anger, he was always a soft and balanced person and that's what had made her look upon him as more than just her chief….So expecting a nice love proposal wasn't too much from her side…..
But then knowing him too well, she knew how difficult it would have been for him to break the barriers of his image and his shy self, and speaking those 3 words out…And of course not to leave his trademark "dammit"! He would never abandon that word!
The cop in her was quick to understand the real purpose behind the whole dance bar drama which Arjun had created and enacted perfectly making all the rest in the team puppets in his hands…..just to get his dear buddy spill out his real feelings for her…
Their friendship, even though, now lost and lay hidden behind the pretence of hatred really amazed her……It was precious and had to be revived back……All those sudden realization made her smile….
He saw her smiling….he spoke up in a very soft voice slightly patting her shoulders to bring her out of the silent mode that she was in for quite a long time, "Aisha, kya tum bhi mujhse..…"
Aisha wished that she could say yes in that same instant but she also wanted to take her time before that….yeah she liked him….or may be even loved him….but she wanted to think over and be sure about it because for her a commitment was for a lifetime….There would never be a back out from that word…..
She gathered herself up and looked at him and replied "Sameer, mujhe kuch waqt chahiye…."
Perhaps, Sameer hadn't expected that reply….he enquired "waqt??"
Aisha replied almost instantly "haaan iss baare mein sochne keliye waqt!"
Sameer held back his impatience within himself and nodded "yeah of course…take your time!"
But little did she know the storm inside him….he had managed to tell that with so much difficulty!
By then they had come to her place….she bid good night and walked away….
******************************
He shook up his head thinking what the hell was happening to him…..he was behaving like a love struck teenage guy…..Wasn't her hesitation to say yes outright, justified fully?
Yes she had to take time, think about it and then say yes to him…..it was a big decision in her life but why was the wait killing him already?
Why was he getting so impatient? He didn't know…. [But we know, na?? lol]
He drove back home, his mind continuously replaying the conversation they had…..he was trying his best to find hints to guess what her reply could be from all that she had spoken to him……
He knew he was being crazy doing all such weird things but he couldn't help it…..
Love indeed drives people crazy….he had slowly begun to realize it now…..
He had taunted several times about people being crazily in love….he remembered his own statement once during a case
"premi aur paagal kabhi kabhi ek hi jagah dhoosra shabd isthemaal kiya jaatha hai…aur aise log apne dimaag se nahi dil se sochte hai!"…..
He chuckled at his own state now! It was no better in those moments because his heart longed to hear Aisha's yes….it longed to see her once again….it longed to hold her close to himself once!!
He kept smacking himself for the crazy thoughts "dammit Rathod!, pehle usske jawaab jaanlo….phir inn sab baatein sochna!"
Dilko Tumse Pyaar Hua Pehli Baar Hua
Tumse Pyaar Hua Main Bhi Aashiq Yaar Hua
Pehli Baar Hua Tumse Pyaar Hua
Chaayi Hain Betaabi Meri Jaan Kahon Main Kya Karoon
Chaayi Hain Betaabi Meri Jaan Kahon Main Kya Karoon
Dilko Tumse Pyaar Hua Pehli Baar Hua
Tumse Pyaar Hua Main Bhi Aashiq Yaar Hua
Pehli Baar Hua Tumse Pyaar Hua
Arre yaar koyi iss paagal dil ko samjhe ya samjhaaye……
[To be continued]
