Raghav was sipping on his favorite black coffee while going through the evidences and leads on their latest, one of the most complicated cases. It was related to the mystery of the sudden death of the beautiful and one of the very famous bollywood diva of her time, that was not more than a few years back...Divya Saran.
"Raghav... Raghav... Kaha khoye ho tum..." Trisha's voice rang in hi ears and he was jerked out of his thoughts.
"Boss..." he paused as he lift his head to look at her and with his usual smirk continued "kahi nahi... Bas Divya Saran murder case ke bare mein soch raha tha... Par aapne mujhe kaise yaad kiya..."
"Raghav... Dilip sir tumhe kabse call kar rahe hain... tumhara phone kyu band hai... He had called me for some work when he asked me to inform you that you are needed in his office now..." she replied folding her hands on her chest.
"Phone band hain..." he stated confused as he pulled his cell from the pocket of his trousers. It indeed was switched off and he realised that he had forgotten to charge it last night.
"Oh haan... yaad aaya... forgot to charge it last night..." he shrugged while she left shaking her head disbelievingly earning a smile on his face. His boss... always tough from out but a caring person from in... it had been 3 years since they are working together and the rapport they share is peculiarly unique... Trisha was always strict during work he knows but then she was a woman... and had a womanly soft heart in her.
Trisha was moving through the corridor when she heard the voice of giggles coming from some nearby cabin. She looked around to realise the voices were coming from Rajbir's cabin. She peeked through the glass door out of curiosity only to see Rajbir, Gauri, Dr. Aarti and Bikram sitting around the table chatting and laughing as the chewed on the yummy meals in various tiffin boxes laid on the table. A laptop was kept open in front of them giving then a nice view of it... and all were looking at the screen with great interest smiling and giggling in between. She was a no nonsense strict boss always but still couldn't resist stepping in...
"So... what is happening guys? I hope am not disturbing your fun time..." Trisha said sweetly gaining their attention.
"No ma'am... not at all... please come in... hum toh bas Gauri ke birthday ke pictures dekh rahe the..." Rajbir said standing up and offering her a seat while himself he took a chair beside Gauri, his heart doing a happy jig.
"Yes ma'am... Raghav and Rajbir ne itna sweet surprise diya the mujhe... hum Dr. Aarti ko vahi pics dikhaye rahe the... she missed the party no..." Gauri chipped in cheerfully as she settled the laptop in an angle so that Trisha could also have a look at at it.
"Wow... seriously... Rajbir and Raghav ne itni badhiya party arrange ki thi... vo bhi. office mein... so thoughtful of them..." Dr. Aarti uttered.
"Vo tha hai... party was superb... aur Raghav toh paidaishi shatir hai... par Rajbir ne itne achhe se sabse chhipaya is baat ko... sirf Raghav ko bataya..." Gauri replied looking at Rajbir while Rajbir returned her a sweet smile.
Trisha smiled on hearing all these. Even she was caught surprised when 2 days ago the lights had suddenly gone during the office hours. All were fretting when they heard some voices from Raghav's cabin. They had rushed to see if there was any thief as Raghav wasn't present in the office... only to be surprised sweetly. As soon as they reached his cabin... The lights came back and here was standing Rajbir with a lovely birthday cake in his hand with a grinning Raghav standing beside him.
"Happy Birthday Gauri... wish you a many many happy returns of the day..." Rajbir had wished and everyone had realised that it was her birthday. Raghav had wished her next taking her in a friendly side hug while she had just stood with her jaw still dropped... Gauri was very sad the whole day that her boyfriend had not wisjed her on her special day... She smiled reciprocating Raghav's hug and uttering a thank you she had flown to Rajbir, her love, and engulfed him in a loving hug. Everyone though shocked at the gesture had clapped joyously and had celebrated the moment with excitement as they got to know about the equation they share the very moment. Rajbir and Gauri were in a relationship since a couple of months and only Raghav was knowing about it till the day before her birthday.
"And my my... must say... Raghav is looking too handsome in these pics... Black is really his colour..." Aarti again said as she looked at a pic of Raghav and Rajbir... Her words brought Trisha out of her thoughts and she looked at the screen. Raghav decked in a black tee and trousers... devoid of his usual blazers... He was smiling and was looking towards Rajbir... it seemed the picture was taken without informing and he looked devilishly handsome and hot in his casual attire and killing smile.
Trisha felt a surge of a strangely unusual feeling creeping up in her heart as she heard Aarti uttering those words. Somewhere in hearts of hearts she felt a tinge of jealousy... although she was unaware but she wasn't liking her praising and ogling at him. Okay she accepts that he is handsome... and girls around do ogle at him but knowing and seeing were two different things and she was not liking the latter...
"Hmm... Dr. Aarti aapko party miss nahi karni chahiye thi... it was fun..." Trisha said casually.
"Oh haan... but kya karti... mere cousin ki wedding thi naa... I had no option..." she replied shrugging. Trisha's eyes stopped at the screen which was displaying the last picture... The picture was of them. Raghav and Trisha... she was looking at him with a chuckle adorning her lips while he had his usual smirk on his face... She remembered what had happened at that time. Her mind went back to the scene on Gauri's birthday and a faint smile crept up her lips involuntarily.
"Lagta hai tumhe samose bade pasand hai... kyu?" she had asked him when she had seen him enjoying and relishing samosas after the cake cutting... everyone around was busy eating the delicacies Raghav had ordered from a nearby restaurant, smiling and chatting... and Trisha wasn't able to resist the way he gobbled up on the dish like a school kid.
"Haan... vo... mujhe achhe lagte hai...Maa bohot tasty banaya karti thi jab thi..." he had fumbled initially like a child caught sneaking ice cream from the fridge but smiled as he ended.
"Tum unhe aur unke haath ke khaane ko bohot miss karte ho naa..." she had asked.
"Haan..." his smile had faded slightly realising that food made by his maa was a distant dream now.
"Koi baat nahi... Raghav don't be sad..." she had tried to console him keeping a hand on his shoulder.
"Haan... waise bhi mujhe jab bhi samose khaane honge...tum toh mere liya bana hi dogi... kyu Trisha... banaogi naa..." he had asked in his usual flirtatious tone.
"Raghav... plz not again..." She had said exasperated while he had just nodded with a priceless cute expression that she had chuckled and then left the cabin.
Trisha came back to present as her cell rang and she took a last look at the picture before she moved out to attend the call. The break was over and everyone resumed their works. Raghav was out of the office following some lead on the Divya Saran murder case. Trisha finished her call and turned around to see Gauri, Rajbir and Bikram getting on with their usual banters while working... They can never work like decent colleagues but like school kids. Trisha shook her head smiling and moved in her cabin.
The main door opened and walked in Raghav in his charismatic attitude followed by a young beautiful lady... maybe in her late twenties yet with a mature beauty. Dressed in a purple saree with a sleeveless and backless exposing blouse amd loose hair.. she looked no less than a model. Gauri and gang passed on surprised glances to each other as they looked at them. They were smiling and talking as they walked pass them and moved in his cabin. Raghav had not even paid heed to Rajbir's waving hand greeting him a hi.. least he bothered to look at them while he talked to the lady ooking at her intently.
To say they were shocked would be an understatement. Raghav was always a man loving amd passionate about his work...his profession. He worshipped it... and they had never ever seen him with a girl in a way that they can think of him being with her... not even once. He had flirted a few... but just as a joke... He was never interested in women... and Gauri and Trisha were the only females in his life... with whom he conversed, played pranks and behaved genuinely like a friend. And in that too only Trisha was the one whom he healthily teased in flirting manner.
"Bikram... Raghav aa gaya hai kya... I need to discuss some leads from this case Dilip sir has shared with me..." Trisha asked carrying a file in her hand as she walked near them. That brought them out of their stupor and they closed their agape mouths immediately.
"Ma'am... Raghav has returned a moment back... He is in his cabin..." Bikram replied while Trisha moved in the direction of his cabin frowning at their expressions. Trisha moved in his cabin without knocking only to be stumped at the scene in unfolding in front of her. Raghav facing the door was leaning on his mahogany table while a young lady was sitting on the chair. His legs were crossed and he had a flirtatious smile on his face and her palm sandwiched in between his. Trisha felt a surge of jealousy coursing through her blood as she saw him so close to the damn woman whose face she had never seen.
Raghav immediately straightened himself as soon as he saw Trisha entering his cabin. He left her hand and smile awkwardly.
"Trisha...you... anything you want to say..." Raghav asked as the woman stood up and turned towards her.
"Excuse me... Raghav tumhare office mein logo mein itni bhi manners nahi hai ki kisi ke cabin mein aane se pehle knock karna chahiye..." she commented sarcastically. Raghav's temper shot up. He had had enough of her nonsense. He was just bearing her coz he wanted to make her spill the beans related to Divya Saran's murder case. While Trisha too felt her blood boiling hearing her saying those words. No one dared to talk to her like that... not even her seniors... that was her impression and this lady... she does not even knew who she was was daring to speak this way with her.
She was Divya's younger sister Aisha and a suspect for Raghav because he had seen her call records and it had shown her talking hours with Divya's husband and her brother in law, Vishal and also he had not seen her very shattered or shocked on her sister's death. She had tried to pretend shocked but Raghav's sharp eyes had felt the underlying pretence. He had understood on the very first meeting that she was a flirtatious kind of woman and he was trying to make her reveal the things she was hiding by her own way. He had been talking to her since a couple of days and the everything was now crystal clear to him. But first he needs to show her her original place for behaving this way with Trisha.
Trisha had just opened her mouth to give her a piece of her mind when she heard Raghav speak.
"Ms. Aisha she is my boss... and she doesn't needs to knock into mine or any body's cabin. She can come anywhere she likes. And you just cannot speak this way to her in her own office. Please apologise this moment..." Raghav said a bit roughly. The mushy sweet tone in which he was talking till now vanishing into the thin air.
"But..." Aisha started to say.
"I said apologise now..." Raghav cut her.
"I am very sorry... I wasn't knowing that you are the boss here..." Aisha uttered averting her eyes.
"Good... may I know who she is Raghav and what are YOU doing with her during office hours..." Trisha replied not even paying an ounce of heed to Aisha as she spoke and walked where Raghav stood, stopping at a distance of a few paces from him.
"Trisha... don't worry... abhi sabko pata chal jayega ki yeh hai kaun... just wait a minute..." Raghav said mysteriously while Aisha looked at him confused. He pulled his phone from his pocket and made a few calls before he turned to the women again. Aisha shot daggers at Trisha looked only at everywhere but at her supressing her wish to strangle her with her bare hands. Her eyes laid on him after detouring in the while room. And she could avert them when he looked at her with a look she had never seen in his eyes coupled with his ever so charming smile. Within a few minutes Rajbir knocked on the door breaking their eye lock and Trisha averted her eyes from his hastily while he smirked before they all rushed in the conference room.
Everyone was sitting in the conference room along with all the suspects, Aisha and of course Raghav addressing all of them.
"Toh is case mein hame kai clues and leads mile... kuch hamare kaam aaye toh baad mein pata chala ki kuch toh sirf hame gumraah karne ke liye rakhe gaye hai... jaise cocaine kaisi drugs ka Divya ke room mein hona jabki postmortem report says that no drugs have been traced in her body and yes... numbers of some male prostitutes in her wardrobes whereas Ms. Divya's forensic reports say that she had not been physical with anyone since years..." he paused only to see at Aisha's face and his doubts concreted.
"Par vo sach hi kya jo mujhse chhup jaaye... I have solved the case and also figured out the murderer... janna chahenge aap sab kaun hai vo... voh insaan jise Divya ki mat se sabse zyada faayda ho sakta hai..." he again paused as Aisha's face drained all colour.
"And she is none other than Ms. Paromita... Divya's best friend. She knew that if she dies all the property comes to her name and Aisha and Vishal can unite too. Though Aisha and Vishal knew about the Ms. Paromita's plans but they kept mum coz the thing happening was in their favour..." he stated. All looked at the most silent member of the case who had come out to be the criminal.
"Agent Raghav... itni safaayi se khoon kiya tha maine... phir bhi tumne... haan maine hi maraa hai use... kyuki Divya ne saari property mere NGO ke naam kar di thi... and I had manipulated her to transfer it on my name saying that the NGO officials could do some fraud and she did the same... but it could happen mine only after her death... and I had no option other than to kill her coz her natural death would take years and I didn't had the patience. So I killed her... maine uski maut ko badi chaturaayi se accident ka room de diya... aur Vishal aur Aisha is ke baare mein jaakar bhi chup rahe kyuki vo dono ek doosre de pyaar karne lage the... par tum... tumne sab big a ad diya..." she slumped on the chair back with a thud and a tear escaped her eye.
"Par Raghav tumhe kaise pata chala..." Trisha asked curiously.
"Simple tha... Divya ki mait ke baad unke ke driver ko Paromita ji se milne ki kya zaroorat thi aur vo bhi ek disguise mein... and phone records mein bhi driverji se bohot baatein hoti thi inki... maine us driver ko dekha tha unke ghar jaate hue kai baar... aur phir jab aaj subah maine us se enquiry ki in Agent Raghav style... He spilled the beans.. And Ms. Aisha se bhi toh bo h ot kuch pata chala mujhe qaatil tak pohonchne ke liye baaton hi baaton mein... kyu Aisha ji.. Thank you for your help in solving the case..." He uttered as the inspector came to arrest Paromita while Raghav left the room with a beautiful smile adorning his lips.
Trisha smiled from the corner of her lips as she saw his retreating figure. Her heart swelled with an unknown happiness with a tinge of pride as if he had done something for her. She was happy when he spoke to Aisha on her behalf. She had now come to understand the reason behind what her eyes had witnessed in his cabin. All others too piled out of the room marvelling at Raghav while she moved out after everyone left. She was feeling too good... though the reason was not even clear to herself.
"Boss..." She halted her steps as she heard a familiar voice calling her.
"Yes Raghav..." She replied but didn't turn around to look at him.
"Kya hua... aap naaraz hai mujhse..." he asked pretending to not know the eras on behind her annoyance.
"Kyu?? Mujhe kyu naraazgi hogi tumse..." she replied still a bit grumpy.
"Nahi mujhe laga ki mere cabin mein jo hua... usse aap naaraz hongi..." he uttered somewhat near to her ear coming a little closer to her from behind.
"Usse mujhe kya... why would I be annoyed to see you with some other girl.." the words came out of her mouth before she could stop them.
"Other girl... par main toh Aisha ki badtameezi ke baare mein keh raha tha... mere uske saath hone ke baare mein nahi... mujhe laga aapko us baat par gussa aaya hoga..." he replied in a husky voice while a smirk crept up on his lips. While Trisha flushed slightly realising what she had said. For the first time he had left her speechless. She always had the power to stop his flirts... she would shot daggers at him and he would shut up... but this time she felt loss of words. Raghav smirked some more seeing a blushing Trisha looking adorable to his eyes. She was never a shy girl... but a very strong and confident woman. Not like typical girls... maybe her job and its requirements had made her like that... and he admired that quality in her. But she could blush was a bews to him and he enjoyed it surprisingly... a flushed up Trisha was a sight to him.
"Mujhe koi farq nahi padta... I have a lot of work..." She uttered and rushed in her cabin without a backward glance. Raghav burst out chuckling at her gesture. She was adorable he thought. He loved to tease her and irritate her... The way she would pass on exasperated glances to him would... He enjoyed it. The relation they share is a unique one in its own way and he liked it in hearts of hearts. It was sweet sometimes while sour at times too. He loved her as a friend and respected her as a boss... she never says but he knew she always looks upto him as a friend... a companion... Her gestures of care like offering him a coffee or covering him with a jacket during the drug racket case in goa... or her fretting over him whenever he is thrown into past remembering his father's brutal murder... Her gestures of trust like hugging him in the time of fear in jungle after seeing her biggest fear-spiders... All told him what her lips couldn't...
Trisha let her lips smile widely as she let out her control on supressing it. She admits that today she wasn't the same bossy Trisha in front of Agent Raghav but a sweet shy Trisha in front of Raghav... she had always thought that she didn't have a single shy bone in her body but today she had blushed at his teasing... coz it wasn't usual flirting like he always did... but a step ahead to make her realise that she didn't like to see him with some other girl. And she realised that she has started liking him...
What is that? she doesn't know...
Why is that? she doesn't know...
When did it happen? she doesn't know
She only knows that he has succeeded to worm his way in her heart and made himself a special place... more than a colleague or a friend before she could have even realised. She has a started liking their khatte meethe banters... Be it anything but now the only thing she wants is to have him in her life as a lovely friend... a companion... She cared for him... she knew he did too... and also that he looks up to her as a companion. They had a lot of friends in office and out... but the unsaid trust the reposed on each other had tied them into a peculiar relationship that none but they only the two understood... and the secret is buried in to their hearts only to be unveiled some day... through their eyes and mouth... But till then they would enjoy their Khatta Meetha Rishtaa...
