Chapter 11-
All the other members reache ETF one by one except Riya and Jay. They all became very astonished but happy to see Arjun.
Aisha: Sir aap..
Arjun: Kiyu bohot dukh ho raha hai ki itni jaldi wapas aa geyi sathane.
Aisha blushed. She didn't mean this. She looked at Sakshi and saw that she is laughing. Aisha understood that Arjun was simply pulling her leg. Seeing her state Liza came at Aisha's rescue.
Liza: Nehi sir Aisha ki woh matlab nehi thi. Woh toh baas mission ke baare mein puchna chahti thi. Waise apka mission khatam ho geya?
Arjun: Nehi Liza. Mission ke liye Raghu sir ne do officer ko bheja hai.
Shree: Par sir kiyu? Aap toh the hi waha.
This time Arjun hesitated. How the hell he will give answer of this question? He can't tell him the truth. Sensing this Sameer spoke up.
Sameer: Tumlog bhi na!! Do mahine ho chuke shadi ke. Abhi tak tumlog yeh nehi samajh paye ki tumhara ARJUN SIR joru ka gulam baan geya hai. Dekho kaise mossion chodke chala aya biwi ke pass. Ek din bhi Sakshi se dur nehi reh sakhta. Kiyu Arjun sahi kaha na maine?
Arjun just glared at him while the other burst out laughing. Few minutes Jay and Riya also reached there. Jay entered the room and greeted everybody. His eyes fall on Arjun. He forward his hand and Arjun shook it.
Jay: Arjun sir right?
Arjun: Haan. Aur tum Jay ho.
Jay: Ji sir. I am really excited. Finally I am working with you. Today my dream came true.
Arjun: Thanks and wellcome to ETF.
Riya stood there watching Arjun. She couldn't move from the door. Finally she is seeing him front to front. After two years later she is meeting him again. She waited for Rjun to look at her. But Arjun didn't even acknowledge her presence. He is busy with some files. Sameer saw this and called her name. Hearing her name he became stiff till didn't look at her. Riya's heart broke into pieces but she hide it. She walked in and took her seat. Arjun is till sitting stiff with a distant look on his face. Sakshi is sitting beside him. Sensing his disturbance she put a hand on his arm and squeezed. Arjun snapped out of his trance and smiled at her. Riya saw this but choose to ignore.
Riya (hesitantly): Kaise ho Arjun.
Arjun got really mad. How dare she call him by his name?
Arjun: Yaha ETF mein kuch rules hai. Sam tune kisi ko samjhaya nehi.
Sameer: Kaisa rules.
Arjun: Yehi ki seniors ko aapne naamse bulana ek tarah ki battamizi hai. Hamesha sir use karna padta hai. Waise bhi tera keya galthi hai. Yeh koi sikha dene wali baath toh hai nehi aur nahi yaha koi bacche hai jo ye saabh rules dobarase sikhaya jaye.
Riya felt like crying. Why is talking like this? After their relation she started calling him by his name. But now he is telling her to use sir? He isn't even talking directly with her.
DIG Sir: Kon bacche hai aur kiski baath ho rahe hai?
All of them stood up from their chair. They didn't notice when DIG sir came.
Sameer: Jai Hind sir. Aap kabh aye.
DIG came in and sat on a chair. They also took their seat.
DIG Sir: Jai Hind. Baas abhi abhi. Mujhe kuch jaruri kaamse Pune jana hai. Baas tumlogo se kuch jaroori bath karna tha.
Arjun: Kahiye na sir keya baath hai.
DIG Sir: Yeh neye case ke baare mein. Mujhe patha hai ki tumsaab puri koushish kar rahe hai iss case ko solve karne ke. Jitni jaldi ho sakhe iss case ko solve karo. . Uparse bohot pressure aa rahe hai. Aajsubah hi PM ka call aya tha. Kagha jitna jaldi ho saake kaatin salakho ke piche hona chahiye.
Sameer: Sir aap befiqar rahiye. Haam jalde se jald iss case ko solve kar lenge.
DIG Sir: Mujhe tum logo par pura bharosa hai. Acca aab mein chalta hoom. Mujhe late ho raha hai..(standing up) By the Arjun congratulation.
Saying that he winked at Arjun and leave from there. Arjun along with other team members just stood there thinking how he know about the marriage. Well except Riya and Jay. They didn't understand what DIG sir meant by that. Sakshi noticed Riya and Jay's puzzled expression. She decided to divert their mind from the topic.
Sakshi: Ting tong. Sir ja chuke hai aab aap sab beith sakhte hai.
All came out of trance and sat down. Sameer hand over some files related to case and Arjun started reading them while seeping his cutting chai given by Sakshi. He questioned Shree and Chotu about the case. Riya was watching all these. She smiled to herself thinking that the habit of seeping cutting chai still intact. Suddenly Sakshi stood up.
Sakshi: Kis kis ko coffe chahiye?
All except Arjun agreed to have a cup of coffee. Sakshi made the coffee and was on her way when she collide with a peon who was coming to them to give a file. Some hot coffee spill over Sakshi's hand.
Arjun: Sakshiii.
He shoot up from his chair. The peon took the tray from her hand. Arjun went to her and made her seat on the chair. All the others came near her. Chotu pour water in a bowl and give it to Arjun. Arjun slowly placed Sakshi's hand on the bowl. The peon was still there. He was very scared. Arjun glared at him.
Arjun: Dekhke nehi chal sakhte? Agar coffee thoda aur girta toh?
Peon: Maaf kar dijiye sahab ainda aisa nehi hoga.
Arjun: Hona bhi nehi chahiye. Agar hua toh kaam pe ana bandh karwa dunga. Samjhe ya samjhavuum?
Peon: Samajh geyi saab. Dobara aisa nehi hoga.
Sakshi: it's ok bhaia. Aap ajiye. Mujhe jiyada nehi lagi.
Shree: Par lag toh sakhti thi na?
Chotu: Haan Sakshi. Ainda tu bhi jara dheyan rakhna.
Jay was feeling very restless but seeing other member's concern and Arjun's possesiveness towards Sakshi he didn't dare to utter a word. He sensed that there are more in their relationship than they let other people see. Arjun got up and made Sakshi stand.
Arjun: Mein Sakshi ko lekar aapne cabin jaa raha hoom. Usski haath mein medicine lagani hai.
Saying that he took Sakshi's hand and went to his cabin. Arjun made Sakshi seat on the couch and started applying medicine on her hand.
Sakshi: Arjun tumne itna overreact kiyu kiya?
Arjun: Tumhe jara si bhi chot lage yeh mujhe bardasht nehi. Meine kasam khaya tha ki apne jiteji tumpaar ek aach takh nehi aane dunga. Par..
Sakshi put her hand on his mouth.
Sakshi: Arjun plz. Pata hai mujhe bilkul bhi dard nehi horaha. Pucho kiyu?
Arjun: Kiyu?
Sakshi: Tum mujhse itna payar jo karte ho. Arjun tumhara payar mere liye dhal ki taarh kaam karta hai. Chote lagti toh hai par dard nehi hota.
Saying that Sakshi smiled. Arjun couldn't say anything just hugged her tightly.
Meanwhile in the ETF room Riya is sitting numb. She knew Arjun has a caring side but he would show it infront of everyone that was beyond her imagination. Another thing that is eating her up from inside that Arjun's behaviour towards Sakshi. She is seeing a totally new Arjun. It didn't take her long to understand that the reason behind this new avatar is Sakshi. She thought that after seeing her Arjun will come to him but Arjun didn't even look towards.
Riya (in mind): Arjun tum mujhe daanto. Jitana chahe daanto par itna indifferent maath raho. Mujhe bohot taakleef hoti hai. Plz Arjun come back to me plz.
A lone tear escaped her eyes. She wiped it out quickly. She will have to talk to Arjun. She will have to reason with him. She will have to make him understand. Soon.
