"DAMN YOU!!...
HADH HO GAYI...!
YOU PERFECTLY KNOW DAT'S NOT WAT I WANT!"
"den wat do you want nia...?
chaahti kya ho tum..?"
"tumhe chaahti hoon!
i love you too dammit!"
and den suddenly bit her lip...
she never wanted dis to slip out par ab...
"chilla kyon rahi ho nia...
i know...i know dat u love me..."
"u wat??"
how could he!!...
she hadn't even confessed it to herself yet!
not really...she wondered...
"u'r impossible!"
how could he take this so lightly...?!!
& she turned away abruptly....
he shook his head,
smiled & stopped the car....
sighing he held her face &
turned her to face him....
"do i scare you?"
"scare!!...of course not!"
"phir tum mujhse bhaag kyon rahi naina?"
"main..bhaag...."
she trembled a bit....
"is there something bothering you??
you love me...&
yet you're forcing yourself away?
why?...
yeh baat mujhe bilkul samajh nahi aa rahi.."
at his insistent questions she resigned...
"there is something dat u must know...
...something ...which has been an integral
part of my life raj...par...i.."
"u can't tell me d reason...don't den!
look naina...
it's only our love dat i want to hold onto..
tumhaare past se mujhe koi matlab nahi hai...
it's our future dat i care about...&
probably our present...."
he pulled her closer...
how could she tell him dat her past, present, future
were all tied up to dat one fact...
a fact dat could eventually ruin their relationship....
"i'm ....scared...darr lag raha hai mujhe..."
"kisse?"
"apne instincts se...kuch hone waala hai raj...
something really horrible...."
her heart shouted out...
he smiled...
"tum astrologer ho?...philosopher??
nahi na!
to raat ko chaar baje aisi bakwaas to mat karo yaar!
kuch nahi hone waala....
aur agar kuch hua bhi den we'll deal wid it together...
just like i'm about to deal wid you now!"
"kya?"she looked confused
he tightened his grip &
brought her into the circle of his arm..
pushing up her chin wid his other hand..
she drew in a deep breath...
her eyes widening a bit..
before dey closed..
& his lips descended down on hers,
firm, warm & compelling...
his hands slid from her chin
to her throat & lingered there,
the thumb caressing her skin,
& den his long fingers curved around her nape,
lightly supporting her head...
her hands were on his sleeves,
feeling thru the taut muscles of his upper arms...
she resisted a strong desire to caress dem...
"u don't have to fight me..."
he whispered..
"there's no need..."
she smiled...&
got pulled roughly towards him...
he kissed her again with more
passion dan gentleness...
pressing her back aginst the seat,
forcing her mouth open beneath his..
while she gladly obliged..
with a boldness she didn't really feel,
her hands went lower on his back....
for sometime..
he allowed her to exolore him
leisurely..
her body melted against his in one fluid motion,
& their kiss hardened...
his hand went from her waist to her midriff
& the other tickled her cleavage...
her heart gave a bound &
settled into faster rythmn...
the way the muscles of his
thighs felt against her own...
she was forced to think of the
treasures his love making
would give her...
stunned by her thoughts she gasped
...& he drew back...
"a...a...sorry...
got carried away a bit ..."
he grinned....
"well...it was mutual..."
she blushed...
they both straightened up...
"everything's fine...
just hope ki nanoo aur aalekh so rahe ho!!"
she moaned at the thought of facing them at this time..
while he laughed...
she snuggled closer to him as he began driving..
& this time fell asleep in a wink on his shoulder..."
...................................
he didn't have the heart to
wake her up wen dey
reached...
so decided he'd pick her up instead...
thank god...woh dono so rahe hain...
i'm just not in the mood to answer
their questions!!
opening the door from her side,
he bent down & pulled her into himself...
as she leaned aginst him..
unaware & peacefully asleep,
he locked the car...
& fished out the key to the house from his
pocket...
lifting her with ease in his arms..
he went up to the door..& sumhow managed
to open it...
it was completely dark ...
he just couldn't risk switching on the lights...
tip-toeing to his own room,
he laid her on his bed....
he bolted the door...&
switched on the lamp....
her hair were badly tousled...
and she looked like an angel to him...
taking off his eyes from her sleeping figure,
he changed into comfortable clothes...
stepped near her,
...blew away the hair strands from her face...
lifted her a bit...removed his jacket from her...
& tucked her into the blanket...
although the area next to her
on his bed looked inviting..
he knew his limits...
sharing your bed wid a man without permission
would mean a lot to a woman like her....
kissing her lightly on the forehead..
he crashed on the couch...
turned off the lights & fell asleep instantly....
it was 4.15.....
........................................
exactly at 5.30 his alarm rang...
he switched it off & would've gone back to sleep,
if he hadn't seen her sleeping on his bed...
hugging the pillow as if it was her lifeline!
kaash main us pillow ki jagah hota!!
he chuckled at his thoughts....
although the night had passed with ease,
it was now dat he felt the slight tension..&
stiffness in his body...
it struck him dat he needed to leave the
room before anyone saw the two of dem together...!
they might not create a fuss over it,
but he didn't wan't any embarassment for anyone...
.......................................
"finally!!...
maharani uth hi gayi..."
navin taunted her...
as he saw her coming down at 11 ...
"kya hua naina??
are you ill or something?...
tumhaari aankhen kyon sooji hui hai...??"
aalekh asked her...
handing her a cup of hot coffee...
"haan...didn't u sleep properly last night??"
raj faked innocence...
"of couse i did!!"
she blushed...
"shaayad pehli baar itni acchi neend aayi hai...."
raj looked up at her from the newspaper &
passed her a warm smile...
"kyon??..tere bed mein kaante lage hue hain?
raj ke room mein sone ka kya matlab tha?"
navin asked her...
"a...did i??...mera matlab hai ki...
woh raat ko itni tez neend
aayi ki pata hi nahi chala
kahaan so gayi!"
she knew her excuse would sound lame...
"sorry..."
she gazed into his eyes...
a permanent smile on his handsome face....
"tum kahaan soye?"
"ab tere saath to nahi soya hoga na....
slept in your room babes!!"
aalekh answered...
"anyway...here's your breakfast...
raj..aalekh..academy jaana hai...
we'll study the file there...
kal uncle se baat karte hain about the case...
i'm too bored sittin here...doing nothing!"
navin & aalekh got up & moved out while
raj stayed back for a minute...
"shaam ko milte hain...
i've got some plans for us..."
he winked....
"ek second ruko!!"
she stopped him mid way
"kya hua?"
"thanks..."
"for what??"
"for sleeping on the couch...."
"kal to tum thaki hui thi...
next time mein itna lenient nahi honga.."
he grinned...
"i hope not...."
"i love you.."
he quickly kissed her...
"me too!!"
& he left...with the sight of her eyes filled with
an eager anticipation...
anticipation not only for wat the night would hold...
but for wat the future held.....
....................................................
alone at home...
she decided to take a break from office...
& study the file she'd stolen...
mujhe yeh file itni aasaani se mil kaise gayi??
the thought worried her......
did it have nothing important??
woh to khol kar hi pata chalega....
she began reading it....
and it was already 8 in d evening wen she finally shut it...
.................................................
it was a tired day for the young captains too...
they were immersed in discussions about the case...
& couldn't make much head-way ....
skipping their lunch..
they went on & on...
before dey decided dat dey'd had enough for a day!
........................................
as dey all sat at the dinner table
,lost in their own thoughts...
the phone rang...
"hi ziya...haan theek hoon..
nahi le rahi ab...
i swear yaar...i'm not taking drugs anymore!"
"accha hai..zyaada der zinda rahogi....
tera hero kaisa hai?"
"hero?"
"RAJ!!"
"jaisa hamesha tha...."
"u mean handsome...striking..attractive...sexy..."
"charming..."
she added & looked up at him...
he realised dat he was the topic
of discussion & blushed....
something dat made her heart thump...
"anyway...tere rival ka naam??"
"Darren's....kyon?"
"i think i have a lead..."
"a wat??...."
"kuch nahin...baad mein baat karti hoon...
bye..."
"wat lead nia?"
aalekh enquired...
"mere haath kal ek file lagi thi...
about my case...
i think i have a start...."
"major conclusions kya nikle?"
nanoo asked her...
"kuch khaas nahi bhaai..
2 places are mentioned time &
again...dubai..& kashmir....
mera chodo.. u tell me...
tum logon ka case kya hai?"
raj's eyes narrowed down...
"kashmir again!..."
navin shook his head...
"...u must have heard of the
escalating suicide bombings dat
are going on kashmir me...
according to our sources...
AL BADR karke koi
militant organization ka iske peeche haath hain...
we've to break into their network...
par humaare paas jo information hai
woh bahut hi basic hain..
captain ali begh..
who was killed during this mission...
unhone shaayad saari info is file mein nahi rakhi...
probably fearing leaks in d army....
d only thing dat's bugging is ki
unki body abhi tak nahi mili..
& he died in delhi...
to woh delhi mein kya kar raha tha??
we'll have to check his family background..."
the discussion went on for sometime...
........................................
it was 11 wen dey all decided to retired to their rooms...
naina was about to sleep,
wen she was rougly pulled into a room....
as she was plunged into darkness
,she recognized d scent of d man she loved...
bolting the door...
he pinned her to the metal cupboard...
she leaned against the cool steel...
as he took her into his arms....
"alone at last..."
he whispered...
