Sakshi chewed her bottom lip relentlessly as her dainty fingers toyed with the copper wire. "Fifteen years of my relation with science aur har baar mujhe dhoka dete rehta hai!" She pouted as the connection fizzed out.

The best thing was that she would barely take the help of her boss, loving called as Udhaarwaala for he would poke his nose every half a minute, now there, in a beautiful workhouse of electrics if a girl was making a bomb, not many would exactly turn samaritan and help her out.

However today was one of her rare days as Mr. Udhaarwaala left her for peace. Picking out her special invention - her necklace, she decided to chip off the edges of the smooth pearl and insert a chip inside. "Ek din Sakshi... one day you would be out from this mess of a life and end up doing something great!" she smiled wistfully at the sky to get a sharp tap on her head.

"Meena Kumari? Aur koi kaam nahi kya!" Udhaarwaala's assistant barked "Khasmanu khaniya!" Sakshi grumbled and went back to her job.

Thus meet Sakshi Anand, a true dreamer who had little idea about the intelligence she was gifted with. While people feared current and shocks, she ended up making circuits and tiny bombs from the young age of thirteen. A true devil in her heart, at times she used to send mini bombs to scare of the bullies.

Once someone screamed "Abbey bomb! Get out man!" "Dude, waise bhi in this stampede mera the end ho jayega! Jitna gyaan maine seekha hai, let me use that na... warna what was the use of the taklu teacher?" This was the statement of her life!

Even though her colleagues grimaced about their job, strangely enough Sakshi Anand lived a life of satisfaction with her pseudonym - Shocking Sakshi.

However the smile that she plastered on her face withered as she rested her forearms on the railing of her balcony. She smiled wistfully at the sky above as she felt the need of a better half.

Someone who would protect her from the taunts of the society, from the rudeness of her relatives, someone... someone who would love her as his own.

She was twenty eight and pretty much single. Never had a boyfriend, heck she hasn't even been on a date! As the wave of loneliness set in she gently settled on the wicker chair and slurped the contents of cutting chai.

A crash of vessels reached her ears and the aroma of burnt food reached her nostrils, oh Klutz Gupta was working on the kitchen, again.

"Woh... Sakshi man... I..." "I will make dinner dear! Just don't end up burning the little bit of vegetables left in my house!" Sakshi chuckled and looked at the city of Mumbai laid before. Khushi Kumari Gupta, her roomie, bestfriend, sister, everything.

Christened as Klutz Kumari Gupta thanks to her beautiful methods of ruining the sweet little dorm that Sakshi had found with great difficulty. But then she was the only one to bring in a dose of what her name meant - happiness!

Tapping her finger pads on the plastic screen of her Samsung Galaxy she saw the wedding pictures of her friend - Mihika Nair.

Damn It! Every person on this planet seemed to get hitched apart from Sakshi Anand!

She remembered the last conversation with her parents

"Papa, haan maanti hoon shadi ke saal ja rahe hai par iska matlab nahi ki are ghere ke saath shadi kar loon!" Sakshi banged the table frustratedly.

"Aur kitna din tujhe yaha pe rakhe! Boj toh..." Her father quietened, he didn't mean what he said.

A pang seeped in Sakshi's heart and she took a deep breath, stopping her mother who was on her way to rectify the situation.

The next day at the crack of dawn Sakshi had left her house, for good. Being the sole breadwinner she decided the better for herself and her family. She would pay for whatever expenses required and live with bare needs. Burden... why the hell was a girl burden?

She didn't pay heed to the apology calls and deleted the messages which begged her to come back home. More than her family it was about her self respect.

Thus that's how Sakshi Anand landed in the city of Mumbai, creating a little niche for herself, to only find herself drowning in the city of dreams.

Sakshi half smiled and looked at the cold chai remaining at the side of the table, she picked it up gently and sipped, her mind lost in fantasies as to how would love feel like.

Would he have hugged her? Or would he be shy? Would he have stepped before the society and tie his life to hers? Or would he have been one amongst them? Or... would he have whisked her away to a world of their own.

Sakshi hugged her knees to her chest and thought, how beautiful it must be, for a man to come and whisk his lady to love and security. "All these happen in films!" Her mother would scrunch her nose. Sakshi chuckled, she barely touched any of Spark's novels but for now... she wished if her life would be like one.

She took a deep breath and dabbed her eyes of the moisture that threatened to spill off and leak her vulnerabilities. She still thanked God, if he existed that is, perhaps loneliness was better than a companionship of terror?

"Oh my Meena Kumari! Hai re Devi Maiyya, don't tell me you are sleeping with your eyes open!" A dash of orange appeared in front as Khushi Kumari ... oops, Klutz Kumari Gupta stared into Sakshi's eyes.

"Sanka Devi the great, the last thing I remember was that I was enjoying my solitude until you appeared in front and frightened my soul out of my body!" Sakshi grimaced at the little spill of the chai over her cotton kurti.

"Yeah, enjoying so much that tears filled your eyes eh?" Khushi bit off sarcastically as she munched on an apple. Sakshi half smiled "Are you a detective or what? You barely miss anything!"

"Arre jaani, jo cheez expression miss karsake woh Khushi Kumari Gupta hai kaha!" Khushi stood on the wicker chair and whistled for herself.

"Definitely this performance will give you a rotten tomato award!" Sakshi chuckled. Khushi settled back onto the chair, sipping on Horlicks then placed her hand over Sakshi's "Missing something eh?"

"Hmm..." Sakshi sighed.

Suddenly Khushi clicked her fingers and stared at Sakshi "I got it! Now I understood what's missing in your life man!" Khushi shrieked, her eyes glinting with wickedness.

"Khushi you shut up! I am sure what you are going to say next, I will electrocute you! IT'S NOT THAT!" Sakshi flustered to a deep shade of crimson.

"Excuse me Miss Hormonal Anand, I didn't speak about the process of copulation!" Khushi hit her head.

"What the hell! I didn't even think about this! And I certainly don't need it!" Sakshi's eyes widened in affirmation.

"Wait, hey you do need okay! You see after a certain age the human body is considered matured and ripe and it needs to be fertilized from a person of the other sex and DEVI MAIIYYYAAA!" Khushi screamt as Sakshi threw her cup of tea on her to silence her yapping mouth.

"Hmm... there's a lack of sugar..." Khushi licked her lips. Sakshi bursted into peals of laughter and almost fell off her wicker chair "You are impossible! By the way, you can literally go to any extent to set my mood eh?" Sakshi smiled.

"I know I am great! Okay, now seriously, I think you mustn't lose hope, you need to get a life partner." Khushi smiled "Oh yeah and pray tell me how will I get him? Half are... ugh and the other half are rejected material!" Sakshi pouted.

"Arrey why fear when Khushi here!" Khushi dusted her sleeves. "Oh yeah, you will take a banner and offer money - Anyone who marries Sakshi will get five crore rupees!" Sakshi raised an eyebrow.

"I admit my lord that I like the idea!" Khushi winked. "Kusiii..." Sakshi growled. "Chillax, trust be told, I will be happy if things happen otherwise... just like fantasy films! Just imagine, you enter your shower to find a hot man in there!" Khushi giggled like a sixteen year old teen.

"EWWW" Sakshi shut her eyes.

"Dude, I promise he will be hot!" Khushi gave an earnest smile to be swatted on her right arm. "You are certainly gone bonkers! What's wrong with you? Feasting on Mills and Boons?" Sakshi held her hands up in exasperation.

"Sweetheart what's wrong in imagining! Just shut up and listen! You are about to scream and then he puts his palm on your mouth and says Amore, you are beautiful! And then he kisses you... hayeee... haye re mera dilll... chura ke le gaya... churane waalaaa sabka kaatil!" Khushi shook her hips left and right while Sakshi held her stomach to control her laughter.

"I am sure your horlicks is adulterated with drugs or alcohol!" Sakshi stood up. "Miss Drunk Gupta, please retire for the day, I bet in the whole world you are the sole person who gets drunk without a touch of alcohol! Understanding you will take my entire life!" Sakshi chuckled.

"Aye Sakshi, mere baare main zyaada mat sochna, main dil main aati hoon, samaj main nahi... Kickaa kickaa!" Khushi squealed while Sakshi rolled her eyes. "And by the way, the so called hero is a rapist or murderer?"

"Why are you trying to infuse logic in fantasy!" Khushi whined.

"And listen Sak, as long as I am alive, I wouldn't let any harm touch you sis..." Khushi turned sombre and hugged Sakshi tightly.

Sakshi half smiled and patted her head. "I know re... I know... now good night sweetheart!" Sakshi smiled and Khushi shimmied her waist in response.

"Sanka Devi!" Sakshi chuckled and walked in her shower to take bath "All I need is Hawaii and coconut water!" Sakshi thought and skid a little on the wet floor which served as a reminder that she was still stuck in a dorm in Andheri East, Mumbai, India.

And then the scene in front confirmed the reality - what the heck was a man doing in her shower!

Rewrite - to find a gorgeously Greek God ressemblent man bathing to all glory and letting the water glide down his muscular form like Poseidon "Sakshi shut the hell up..." her mind screamed and at that moment.

"Aaahhh..." her mouth was covered by a rough palm and her eyes clashed against dark orbs "Just shut up and close your eyes before you decide to call the NSG okay!" his husky voice filtered into melody in her ears.

That's it, the long state of being alone was resulting in a serious messy combination of crush and shock for a particular Sakshi Anand.

Her eyes were instead wide open "Mfmfmfmfmfmfmf!" she muffled through his palm and the breath was sucked out of her lungs as she noted him staring at her.

"What?" he asked, his voice still on the hoarse edge. "Oh yeah, sorry you can't speak at the moment, but miss red face, why are your eyes like saucepans?" he raised an eyebrow in an impish manner.

She gulped and felt her ribcage shattered by the thudding of her heart as she took in the broad shoulders, the wide expanse of the bronzed chest, the ripped muscles, the ripped muscles, the slight smattering of hair that tapered into his perfectly carved abdomen...

OMG.

Sakshi shut her innocent poor eyes and managed to whisper "Y...y..you...nn..nangu..." she croaked.

"Oh... yep am a bit underdressed at the moment. Let me help myself." His husky laughter sent chills up her spine as he took away her dupatta and converted it into a dhoti.

"Woman! Am decent at the moment and I would like you to open your eyes unless you want me to comment on your beautiful red face!" he smirked and she gaped at him. "W*FH!" Sakshi swore.

"Nice profanities miss..." he chuckled "W*FFF" Sakshi breathed out "Calm down! Jeez woman! Now listen, where's the file that Karkash has given you?" he asked.

For a strange reason Sakshi did calm down "Www... what? Point one! I am NOT beautiful! Point two you are bloo*y half naked man rapist murderer in my house and point three who in the beautiful hell is Karkash and what file are you talking about!" Sakshi tried to scream but everything escaped as parched words.

"Ugh! Listen, point one you are as beautiful as the reflection of the full moon on the Pacific, point two I am half naked and I know I am looking seksy in it which your red face agrees to and point three, don't lie... iska anjaam acha nahi hoga, yeh baat samjhi ya samjhaaun?" The corners of his stubbled mouth tipped slightly at her shivers.

She was supposed to be an informant but this poor thing was certainly dazed!

"I...ii.. i ...bbb... beautiful?" Sakshi whispered to herself in disbelief.

"Yes Miss Red Face, I hope it's miss... else your husband would be highly scandalised at our position at the moment" His eyes twinkled in mischief as she realised the she was pinned on the wall with one of his arms resting against the cool tiled wall.

Her teeth started chattering and she tried to shake her petite head as this is nothing but a serious hot dream.

Period.

Nothing more

However more thoughts flow into her mind and she was astounded by them... "control sakhi... just a hot strange dream... khu told you na, thus it's just a dream... control..."

The man stared at woman in front and chuckled " Aha, nice thoughts by the way"

She gawked at him while he laughed his heart out. He poked the red cheeks and grinned "Yeah sweety this kind of tells me what you are thinking as of now"

Sakshi screamed aloud in shock fear and mortification as the man cursed vehemently. And the very next minute he was kicked down on the floor. Sakshi gulped to look at her mental and physical saviour when the words died on her lips.

Did the lanky Klutz Kumari Gupta just punch a guy whose weight and mass might be thrice the size of her!

Sakshi clutched her head in shock as Khushi removed a gun from her patiala and placed it on the hot guy's head. "Kkk... kk... yy... ggun?" Sakshi stammered. "Told ya na sis, won't let anything happen to you as long as I am alive, and you, who the fudge are you!" Her tone was sharp and cold, something Sakshi swore she never heard before.

"Yy... y..." Sakshi tried her level best to form sentences.

"So Mister... abbey kaminey tu!" Khushi exclaimed and stared at the man on the floor beneath her. "Uff Karkash you so need to control yourself! I know am seksy but that doesn't mean you pounce on me and get ready to create our unborn children and ruin my moment of a potential kiss with miss red face!" He grumbled.

"Ah you and your fantasies! For pete's sake do shut up Arjun! And kiss dear Sakshi! Poor thing would faint at that thought!" Khushi came in defence and helped her shocked friend stand.

"Haha... so... Miss... Sakshi? What if I told you about my other thoughts... like you know... something which involved the bed and us and something something!" Arjun winked at the flustered girl in an impish manner.

But to their shock they found Sakshi swooning and falling straight on the floor with a soft thud.

Arjun scratched his head guiltily and looked at a furious Khushi "Umm... hehe... I guess I spoke a wee bit too much?" he cringed.

And he received the answer by a much deserved slap!

Author's Note : Well, I do know that this chapter is funny and strange and perhaps doesn't connect with the prologue, but my dear ladies and gentlemen (if any) doesn't everything start by being sunny and glossy?
