hope you all like it
so here it is...

Alone she walked through the dark woods. Although she wasn't supposed to feel that way, she was really scared. Since childhood, she hated cold, dark places.
Frustration crept into her mind. How could she miss the bus? And how could her Arjun sir not realise that she was not beside him anymore?
**FLASHBACK STARTS**
Riya was a ETF officer. She and second in command of the ETF(Who also happened to be her crush. Well crush was a wrong word. She was madly in love with him) were on a secret mission. They were on their journey home. On the return journey their bus had stopped at a gas station and Riya had got down for getting some fresh air. It was 10 pm. nobody else had got down. Arjun had been asleep at that time. Her mind wandered somewhere and when she came back to her senses, the bus had gone leaving her behind. She had missed it. Nobody had noticed her absence apparently.
** FLASHBACK OVER**
She shivered and pulled her jacket tightly around her. ''Oh God keep me safe. Please... Let the night pass quickly''she thought.
The cold yellow moon hung overhead in the forest skies watching her. Her torch provided very little illumination. The canopy of trees cast creepy shadows all around her. The rattling wind skimmed through her hair bringing her them over her shoulders. Whirring and whizzing sounds could be heard louder and louder and then suddenly they would stop leaving a stony silence behind.
Riya walked down the street, her eyes flickering back and forth. Every small sound or hoot of an owl caused her to jump.
She felt as if hundreds of unblinking eyes were watching her every move ready to pounce on her any moment.
A few metres ahead of her, something moved amongst the trees. Whatever it was, it was watching Riya's every move lying in wait for her.
She moved further ahead clutching her arms tightly. Suddenly something big materialised in front of her.
Her heart froze and her stomach turned icy as she saw a man blocking her way. She dropped her torch in terror and covered her mouth to stop herself from screaming. Two cold hands gripped her.
Nooo...she wailed.
''Let me go... Leave me please...she begged.
The man picked up her torch. His one hand slid around her neck feeling it.
'I am going to die painful death.' thought Riya
The man flashed the torch on his own face. Riya found herself staring at the handsome face of Arjun
Attraction and addiction replaced fear. She stared at his masculine features. She longed to be in his strong arms right at that moment. But then did he love her? His actions never conveyed his feelings towards her. He always kept a safe distance. But his eyes they communicated to her very differently.
She felt attracted to him physically, sexually. On the emotional front, his heart was very difficult to read. Sometimes it was as if he didn't have emotions or feelings of concern, care or love. It was very confusing for her.
It had been love at first sight for Riya.
**FLASHBACK**
Riya was really enjoying her days in ETF. It was a thrilling experience for her. It had been two months since she had joined ETF. The day was special for everybody in the office as second in command was returning. He had been away on a mission. Hole team along with the commissioner were waiting at the airport.
Hey Riya do you believe in horoscopes or destiny? a colleague asked her.
"Well it depends. But I believe in making my own luck'' said Riya.
Well what's your sun sign? Let's see what the stars have in store for you!'
''Libra'' said Riya.
Okay...Ooo! Look at this!
"The love of your life is stepping into your planet this summer''she said enthusiastically.
Riya was going to respond but then her eyes fell on a stranger walking towards them. Tall and a bit brawny, he wore jeans, T- shirt and a leather jacket. Dark sunglasses completely covered his eyes. He stopped to greet them. ''ACP Arjun reporting sir" he said looking towards the commissioner
'Welcome Arjun" We missed you terribly. How have you been? Come let us not waste more time'' said the commissioner
Arjun stopped suddenly in his tracks. 'Who are you?', he asked looking at Riya
''She is new in ETF.Our research specialist"someone introduced her
"Hello sir" said Riya with dimple smile and forward her hand
Arjun gave her a firm handshake. ''Nice to meet you Riya'' he said. ''Same here sir''she said smiling. She was dying to look into his eyes. She wished she would remove his glasses. But he didn't. Disappointed Riya followed him. In the car she kept shooting stolen glances at him through the mirror.
When they reached ETF office Riya asked her best friend Aysha ''Is Arjun sir single?'
Why? Are you having a crush on him already? asked her best friend giggling.
"Well it's not your fault. Every girl feels the same way for him. But he's still single. I wonder why. Maybe he's really hard to get"she said winking at Riya.
'No matter how hard it gets. I'll have him. I promise', thought Riya.
