Here is my entry.

It's too long.

Genre: Romance

-Old School Love-


"She couldn't believe her eyes... The man she has always loved was hugging someone else... Tears flew out of her eyes at the feeling jealousy and betrayal but most of all hurt.. " And she decided she had had enough. Enough of holding onto scrap when she can have a better life, away from this man who doesnā€™t want her, never wanted her. And never will.

Riya silently made her way out of the restaurant without letting a slightest hint that she was there. That she had seen them together and in each otherā€™s arms. She hated herself. She hated herself for feeling so hurt by him because there is no one except her who brought it upon herself. She knows the suffering sheā€™s undergoing is self inflicted.

That sight pinched Riya. Not because he was with another woman but because she put her trust upon him. She was hurt because he tricked her again. She should have known before. This man is never going to change. Why almighty why? She asked herself. Why did she give him another chance? Why did she risk her heart again for this man?

She had only ever asked him one thing. That is to stay away from that woman. And he couldnā€™t do that single thing for her. A tight knot formed in her stomach as she felt nauseated. Dinner was the last thing she wanted right now. She should be driving herself home. Or call Aisha and tell her everything. She could even crash at Shree's place. He could fix her something Italian. But this time, she just wanted to go far and far away from everyone. She drove towards Raven, her favourite club. And she realized she was very much dressed for a club tonight. That black bodycon dress adorned every curve of her body. The deep chocolate brown lipstick was just looking more than alluring. Her coal black eyes could drown anyone. The only thing that spoiled her was the tears brimming in her eyes. She pulled out a wet tissue from her purse and fixed her face making her way through the crowd raging with noise.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ā€œWhere the hell is he?ā€ he cursed as he stared at his cell phone for the last time. He should be here by now, but there is no sign of him. ACP Arjun Rawte doesnā€™t like his informers keep him waiting. Damn the informer! He cursed again as he grabbed another drink from the counter and took a sip.

He realized heā€™s become frustrated and annoyed for most of the things lately and he couldnā€™t blame anyone but himself. You risked your heart at the wrong place Arjun. You deserved the suffering. He closed his eyes hoping for a little peace but didnā€™t he know? He had just entered into chaos only. Even with closed eyes he couldnā€™t avoid thinking about her. Her? Is she even the woman, he fell for? He, ACP Arjun Rawte, the second in command of ETF have never expected that heā€™d ever fall in love with someone like a nerdy, calculative research specialist. But he is! And man, didnā€™t that make him all too helpless with his feelings? And he does know why! He gulped from the glass once again brushing her thoughts aside. But can he really avoid her?

And thatā€™s how he noticed her looking lost in a crowd, looking too aloof to be around. Her appearance shocked him beyond anything and her being at a club rattled him. Gone were those plain shirts and loose trousers. Instead she was wearing a bodycon dress that wasshaping each of her curves, hair open and heels! Heā€™d never seen this woman without anything but flats. He realised if heā€™s imagining someone else as her. He hasnā€™t even started with his drinks. He kept staring at her with astonishment. Seeing the senior research specialist of ETF at Raven, dressed to slay was just not what he was expecting himself to see tonight.

He stared some more minutes before realizing he was not the only one. And he knew what he had to do. He looked around in a haze, in hope to find that shithead ex husband of hers but he wasnā€™t around. He sighed.

Is it good or is it more trouble in his way? There were many things running in his mind. But the least of all, he wasnā€™t up for thinking about probabilities. He knew someday he had to say to her. That how maddeningly attracted he is to her. How everyday he just tested his self control. Not touch her when sheā€™s just too close to him at the office. Not to embrace her when sheā€™d be crying her heart out in her cubicle, and most of all, how hard it was for him to stay silent and not confess. Confess that sheā€™s all over his mind and all over his heart.

Within the short period of knowing her, he was aware about bits and pieces of her life. It wasnā€™t long before he realised why she was holding her feelings away. She was married to the love of her life. Sweet old school love, who just cheated on her and there was a bad divorce she went through. He understood why sheā€™s cautious about laying her heart out. He always knew thereā€™s some spark to her. And that spark got him too. He was almost there, confessing his feelings to her when he saw her at the brink of losing her life. He was never been this frightened in his entire life to lose someone. She wasnā€™t just someone. She was taken to the hospital. He was always by her side. He was shit scared to lose her.

But soon another fear started grappling him, the fear of losing her to another man. Her ex husband Karan, that man came and hugged her tight telling her how he couldnā€™t live without her. That was hurting him, but what hurt him the most was when he saw Riya melting in that embrace. He kept looking at them, their embracing form and left with an empty heart. None in the team were happy about her giving that man another chance. But she wanted to give it a chance. And he accepted her decision because he just wanted her to be happy. What he couldnā€™t imagine was how hurtful it would be for him to see her with another man.

Arjun moved through the crowd and stood in front of her. Their eyes met and he knew sparks flew. He noticed her fluffy eyes. Maybe she was crying. Again. Heā€™d often see her cry always hiding from everyone at the office. He found himself with an instant rage as he couldnā€™t anymore control the aloofness of her and pulled her to himself. She was simply brought back to the reality and stared at the person pulling her towards him.

Arjun.

ACP Arjun Rawte.

Second in command of ETF and her almost... She didnā€™t know what to name what they had. He's too simple for a man and without complication in life. on top of that he's a total flirt. she remembered how he flirted with her everyday. Picking on her hygienic obsession or mimicking her statistics rant. He is all what every woman in ETF dream of, well except her. Apart from the uncomplicated life he's too carefree. Taking unwanted risks always thrilled him. With that casual exterior of his face she knew there is something so intense bubbling inside for her. But didn't she ignore him? 

Karan can just go fcuk anyone he likes. I am just so done with him. She thought with finality.ā€œArjun.ā€ She whispered in a rugged voice. Maybe she just cried too much. She didnā€™t ask where he was taking her but just followed where he was leading her. He led her to the counter and asked for breezer?

ā€œIā€™d need something stronger tonightā€. She said from behind with a tainted sharpness in her voice. He just replaced the breezer with a devils spring.

ā€œYou are all alone?ā€ he asked her cautiously.

ā€œDid you see anyone tagging behind?ā€

ā€œNot really!ā€ he said. Whatā€™s wrong Riya? Why were you crying?

ā€œWhatā€™s wrong? You look...er..ā€! He didnā€™t know how to put it. She was looking as if sheā€™s breaking from inside.

ā€œI look?ā€ she asked to herself. ā€œI was dinner ready for someone.ā€

ā€œAnd?ā€ so she just ran out of a dinner date?

ā€œHe found someone else.ā€ She said in an almost bland expression. With her words she didnā€™t sound disappointed with the fact that sheā€™s been cheated or betrayed. It looked like she was disappointed with herself.

ā€œI am sorry.ā€ He whispered not knowing what else to say.

ā€œDonā€™t be.ā€ She replied and pulled the bottle from his hand. She almost downed half from the bottle when he snatched that away from her.

ā€œThis really wonā€™t help you Riya.ā€

ā€œDid I ask you what will help me?ā€ Now she was being edgy. She was always edgy. But today she wasnā€™t sounding like herself.

ā€œNo. But...ā€

ā€œYou really want to help me?ā€ she asked not giving herself much thought.

ā€œYeah.ā€ His positive reply came stunning her.

ā€œThen take me away where they canā€™t find me.ā€

ā€œThey?ā€

ā€œMy nightmares, my mistakes, my hopelessness...ā€ He had never seen her broken before and his heart ached seeing her this way. He held her left hand and dragged her through the crowd. Just like before, she followed his lead both of them holding a bottle of the devils spring. When they reached outside, she noticed his red and silver bike. Hungover was what set her mood right. Sheā€™d seen it a few times. And she also remembered secretly wishing to ride this beauty sometime. A smiled tugged at her lips. But then her smile faded. He noticed her initial excitement and then saw it fade quickly. He couldnā€™t quite grasp her quick transformation.

ā€œNo. No. No. Itā€™s all too wrong.ā€ She said as she took another gulp from the bottle.

ā€œWhatā€™s wrong?ā€

ā€œMy dress. This bike. This night. That bas*ard. My life decisions. Everything is all too

wrong.ā€

ā€œI didnā€™t know you fret this much. Come on.ā€ Then he took a look at her dress. The bodycon dress indeed is a problem but he couldnā€™t control his urge to make her sit behind him and take her far away just as she had asked him to do. Then he noticed something else in that dress. It had a slit, neatly clipped with some buttons. With a little hesitation bubbling inside, he inched closer. She held his gaze, the same inexplicable feeling making a home in her heart. She found her heart racing.

ā€œThe dress isnā€™t a problem.ā€ She stared at him with confusion.

ā€œDo you mind if I...ā€ she liked it when he asks permission. She feels itā€™s a form of showing respect. She just shrugged.

His nervous hands worked lightly on the first clipped button of her dress that just ended below her left thigh. The light touch of his bare fingers on her thighs jostled her from her aloofness once again and she knew the trouble is on the way. But for the first time, she wasnā€™t being calculative. She let him open all the clipped buttons that ended below her knee. She felt somewhat relived. He drew his hands away instantly and pulled the helmet over his head. Then he sat on his bike. She placed her hand over his shoulder for support and settled herself behind him. All thanks to the slit which didnā€™t give her much trouble.

ā€œAre you comfortable?ā€ He asked.

ā€œMmm.ā€ She said.

And he accelerated his motor. As soon as his bike picked up speed she was a hit by a fresh wave of air that played with her hair. She still didnā€™t know where he was taking her but she trusts him. There was no denying in that she trusts him. Maybe they could have been something, if not her ex of a husband made an appearance in her life after breaking her into pieces in the past. She knew there is something between her and Arjun and she deliberately ignored it. She knew she felt something inexplicable every time her hand brushed with his occasionally. Or every time he brought her coffee in the middle of an interrogation. Or every time he offered her to drop her at her home to safety. She knew there was something from his side. She remembered how frightened and worried he was at the hospital when she was shot. He almost threatened the doctor who was treating her because she was out of consciousness for more than an hour. Shree told her how worried he was for her. And that was the day everything changed between them. 

Because her ex husband walked back into her life, claiming that he couldnā€™t any more apart from her. That he loves her beyond anything. Riya thought she was in a hazy dream when Karan said all those things. But she wasnā€™t dreaming. The man who she loved her entire life came back for her. And she didnā€™t want anything from life anymore. Or she thought so. She didnā€™t forget how he filed for their divorce or how he cheated upon her. But she thought she could still give him a chance. Still give herself a chance to see if anything in her is still left for human feelings. But today she has nothing apart from regret only. Regret for letting that man come back to her life once again and for letting herself hope...

ā€œCan you just hold me tightlyā€, she was brought back from her thinking by his voice. And she focused on Arjun. Why is he being so generous tonight? The thought crossed her mind. She was totally very rough with him since the past few months because she was aware of his feelings. She was aware how badly he was attracted to her. She hadnā€™t missed the hurt in his eyes when she finally introduced her ex husband to her team at a party. She was sure he left the party just because he couldnā€™t see her with someone else. Yet she let him wallow in his suffering because giving up wasnā€™t easy for her. She snaked her arms around his chest and held tightly onto him resting her head over his shoulder. She knew what she was doing. She knew she shouldnā€™t be doing this. But right now he was the only awkward comfort that soothed her senses.

ā€œIs it good now?ā€ she asked Arjun.

ā€œWay betterā€. He said and she could sense him smile. 

After like some thirty minutes of riding, the bike came to a halt. The furious winds stopped flapping her hair and she was welcomed to a soothing breeze of the fresh night. She got down from the bike to take a look at where they were. The sight in front of her took her breathaway. She realised they were at the edge of a ground, way above the sea level and she could see the whole city from that location. She was mesmerized with the beauty of it. Her eyes darted up to look at the sky. And god, this is some view she just wanted so desperately. The endless sky looked ever so bright in contrast to the dimming city lights.

ā€œLike what you see?ā€ he asked seeing the smile tugging at her lips.

ā€œVery much.ā€ She said as she finally looked at him. ā€œHow did you find this place? I mean where are we?ā€

ā€œI am not telling you.ā€ He smirked.

ā€œReally now?ā€ she asked. He was being playful. She liked it too. She just likes everything about him tonight. She didnā€™t know if itā€™s because of the booze or the fact that she terribly needed something to be getting distracted with. She didnā€™t wait for an answer as she started marching towards the edge. He followed behind, taking off his helmet.

ā€œYou wouldnā€™t want to step down there with those Eiffel Tower heels of yours.ā€ He shouted back at her.

ā€œWell then alright.ā€ She yelled back, kicked her heels away that landed right in front of him.

ā€œI didnā€™t expect you to throw anything more than your tantrums tonight.ā€ He said seeing her heels now at his feet. ā€œYou underestimate me too much ACPā€, she giggled and he ran behind her to match with her place. She stopped at the extreme edge of the ground and lifted her arms up and wide letting the breeze cool her off. He hesitated just before her as he saw how close she was to the edge. Her drunken state and her tipsy talks made him worried. He saw her legs shake at the dim moonlight and he swiftly positioned himself exactly behind her, holding her sides.

She felt him touch her. She didnā€™t care. All she could feel was the serenity of this night that was slowly filling her with bliss she was craving ever since. And for a split second she thought, being here with Arjun, made everything feel ethereal. She brushed aside those thoughts. Right now youā€™re a mess Riya!

ā€œThis is just too beautiful and too peaceful Arjun. Thank you so much for bringing me here.ā€

ā€œSomeoneā€™s showing gratitude.ā€ He said blandly. She found the cold undertone in his voice directly pointed at her. She turned to him at that jibe he made. She knew she wasnā€™t being nice to him since the past week. She knew she was avoiding him. Or rather she realised she was avoiding herself to give into his feelings. He was looking her in the eye and she felt as if he was unnerving her.

ā€œI... I am sorry for how I was with you since the past month.ā€ She finally blurted out.

ā€œWhy are you sorry? You were just having a life out there, with your ex husband.ā€ His words again felt like a slash across her already bleeding wounds.

ā€œI..I donā€™t know. I felt as if I just ignored you.ā€

ā€œYou are not entitled to give me any attention more than professionally. Arenā€™t you?ā€ he said in a tight voice. And she sensed it right, he was hurt. She had hurt him. Suddenly the pain she felt seeing that Karan with another woman felt nothing when she saw the hurt in his eyes. Her own feelings rattled her. She completely turned her body, now facing him. His hands slide down from her sides to hold securely at her lower back. Her body went stiff with the touch. She slowly encircled her hands around his nape for better support.

ā€œI guess you are rightā€ she murmured and slides her hands off him. He got the hint and slowly moved them back to safety, away from the edge and finally let go of her body. Even though he never confessed, he was sure she feels something for him. But he was shattered when she just gave into her old relation once again, let herself suffer once again. He didnā€™t hate her. He thought he could accept her decision. But that didnā€™t work for long. Rather he became enraged with her decision and started jibing her which she didnā€™t take quietly. Afterwards she was bitter with him. But what else could he do? See her going out with another man right in front of his eyes. No. he couldnā€™t do that. She turned back once again, ā€œcan we just go backā€? She asked him. He wondered if his retreating hurt her. Well she was sad and hurt even before so he quite couldnā€™t tell what hurt her.

ā€œMinutes before you wanted to stay!ā€ he said slowly.

ā€œI wanted? I donā€™t know what I want anymore!ā€ she said with despair. He didnā€™t know what he could do to help her. Sheā€™s the strongest in the team and she always appears as if sheā€™d never need help. Professionally sheā€™s spotless. But personally, he couldnā€™t really count the shades of her reality.

ā€œWhat you really want is to save yourself from that regret chant and accept that shit happens. Donā€™t wallow over it.ā€

ā€œYou sound like you really know how that feels!ā€

ā€œI donā€™t think right now you are ready to listen what my feelings are Riya and how I felt. So just cut the chase, letā€™s talk about what happened.ā€ He loosened the first two buttons of his shirt and stretched his hands before settling himself on the grass cross-legged. She hesitated for a moment but gave in finally as she sat down right beside him.

ā€œI am not a woman who gives up easily.ā€

ā€œI knowā€.

ā€œAnd that spirit still stays with me even after I am broken. Itā€™s difficult you know? To let go. Even if the person doesnā€™t want you or love you anymore.ā€ She said with a pang of pain. He looked at her closely and realised how right she is. Did he let her go? Even if he knew sheā€™s out of his reach now. That she is giving herself a chance with another man. No he didnā€™t. He couldnā€™t and he wouldnā€™t give up on her by any chance.

ā€œWhen my marriage broke, I kind of broke too. I didnā€™t know what failed! Or why he cheated. I kept waiting for him to come back to me one day and tell me that he couldnā€™t anymore live without me. And that day at the hospital he did came back. He did say what I wanted him to say.ā€

ā€œIs this why accepted him in?ā€ he asked.

She just nodded her head in a yes.

ā€œAnd today I saw him with another woman. We were about to have our dinner date. We had a fight last night. He wanted to make it up to me.ā€

ā€œThat bi*ch?? Want to talk about the fight?ā€

ā€œI want to talk about many things Arjun. Why do you care to listen?ā€ she asked him looking straight in the eye. He broke the eye contact and leaned over the grass, completely on his back now facing the starry night sky.

ā€œYou didnā€™t answer?ā€ she asked again.

ā€œSomeone has to be generous tonight!ā€ and she practically laughed at his statement.

ā€œLately I realised I was compromising with everything, with my feelings being the first of the things. Itā€™s true that I wanted him to come back. But it doesnā€™t anymore make me happy Arjun. Itā€™s like I kind of knew he would never change yet I gave into his false promises. Canlove make you this stupid?ā€

ā€œI canā€™t say what love makes people do Riya.ā€

ā€œWhy? Havenā€™t you ever been in love?ā€ and she realised what she had asked him. She knew she shouldnā€™t have. And she wondered why she wasnā€™t happy about being with Karan. Is it because she doesnā€™t anymore love him? She didnā€™t want to know the reality of the answer. In her mind she reanalysed everything. She picked up a fight with Karan every time she was bitter to Arjun in the office. Riya just couldnā€™t accept the fact that hurting Arjun could hurt too. And she always lived in the conflicting questions about what makes her happy and what she wants for real. Till now she doesnā€™t have her answer. She faced Arjun under the moonlight, lying sideways now. His face was too calm that she felt his aura radiating right through her. She felt her soul being filled with the ethereal energy that only and only strengthened her spirit.

ā€œI think you should just find out what makes you happy Riyaā€! He whispered in their close proximity. She saw the honesty in his eyes. The concern over his face for her and maybe she just know what makes her happy or what made her happy always. Suddenly her eyes travelled to his lips. And without any thought she closed the distance between their lips.

A shiver ran down his body at the instant he felt her lips over his. She was so sudden with her moves that she just caught him off guard and when he got back from the shock, he felt her lips moving against him slowly yet with an urgency that tempted him. He felt stupid for not reacting when she just nibbled at his lower lip. He could gather she was being frustrated with his unresponsiveness. So he moved a little forward pressing her more on the ground, his whole body shifting over her as he finally gave into the kiss. Both of his hands were stiff on the ground supporting his body weight while all he wanted to do was touch her. Not this annoying prickly grass. She arched forward giving him more access to her lips as she ran her fingers in his hair making it a wild mess. Once into the kiss he realised she was more demanding and that surged a wave of desire in him.

So he kissed her senseless and when she stopped for some air, he travelled down to her neck. She froze as her heart beat against her chest in an abnormal speed. He shouldnā€™t have kissed her there. Neck kisses always made her weak in the knee. She inhaled sharply as a slow moan escaped from her lips which drove him crazy. He dug his face more into her neck, planting soft kisses on her collar bone. She didnā€™t know what else to do apart from surrendering to this sweet torture he was inflicting upon her neck. She moaned heavily gasping for air. She doesnā€™t really realise what her moans are making to his body. Her free hands moved slowly across his chest, travelled down his tummy and stopped over the metal his belt.

He froze for a moment, stunned at her actions. He should have known what was coming next. And as much as he wanted it to happen, he knew he shouldnā€™t give into this. She had been hurt before on top of that sheā€™s drunk. Anything that will happen between them will bring disaster to both of them. It took him his entire self control to push her hand away and move his face away from her neck.

He pulled himself up to see her stunned face.

ā€œI donā€™t think you really want to give into this.ā€

ā€œBut you want it!ā€

ā€œDamn!ā€ he exclaimed as he knew sheā€™s reading through him. Reading the desire in his eyes for her and sensing his arousal.

ā€œDonā€™t you?ā€ she repeated herself.

ā€œYou canā€™t imagine how badly I want you Riyaā€! He finally let his words out. But what he said next made her feel ashamed of herself. ā€œBut I just donā€™t want to be a rebound to Karanā€! She closed her eyes at his words. She found herself asking if heā€™s right. She felt disgusted for taking advantage of his kindness. She felt so ugly from inside and uglier for making him feel like sheā€™s just using him as a distraction only. But in reality, was she? She didnā€™t know.

In a swift moment she sat upright, pushing his body slightly away from his. ā€œI.. I am sorry if you feel that way Arjun. This shouldnā€™t have happened.ā€ She cursed herself for making her life this complicated. Arjun clearly saw her retreating as an aftermath of his own words to her and regret started sinking in him deeply. He brought her to make her feel better, to offer her comfort and all he did was made her sad all over again. He sat upright as she got up to leave.

Just as she turned to leave, he grabbed her hand. He didnā€™t know why he said what he said but he knew one thing for sure, his words had hurt her. And things will never be same with her again.

ā€œRiya stop.ā€

ā€œWhy Arjun? Please... donā€™t make me feel any more disgusted with myself.ā€

ā€œYou are getting me wrong. I ...I just want you to be clear with your feelings. What you really want! And whatever happened right now, right here... trust me Riya, it is one of the best things that have happened to me. I donā€™t regret an ounce of whatever transpired.ā€ He blurted out in a single breath. And she believed him. She believed whatever he said because she just felt he of all people wouldnā€™t lie to her, or cheat on her or break her trust.

ā€œokay.ā€ She said in reply. She didnā€™t intend to say anything anymore. All she craved right now is peace and away from everything.

ā€œUmm...do you mind dropping me at my place? I wonā€™t ask you to stay.ā€ She said and realized how pathetic that sounded.

ā€œoh Riya... donā€™t be ridiculous. Letā€™s... letā€™s just go.ā€

She just went towards the bike and stood there realizing where did she kicked off her heels.

ā€œYour heels.ā€ She saw him holding the pair of her heels as he placed them on the ground. The journey back to her home was silent. He still asked her to hold him tight. And she did. He let her rest her head over his shoulder, without a trace of hesitation. She knew he was still trying to make her feel better. He stopped right in front of her home, outside the gate. She got down carefully tucking the devils spring with her one hand. Tonight was full of surprises. She expected him leave as soon as possible but he stayed. He was silent for a moment. She didnā€™t know what to make out of his silence. So she started towards the gate.

ā€œRiya...ā€! He called out.

She didnā€™t turn.

ā€œJust remember one thing, whatever your decisions, whatever it is that you want or whatever you chose, I will be with you...ā€ she froze at the intensity of the words. She just wanted to run back to him immediately and embrace him forever. But she knew she has crossed enough of her limits tonight.

ā€œJust never stop counting on me...ā€! His last words brought tears in her eyes and she knew if she will turn, all the boundaries heā€™s guarding just for her sanity will break at the blink of an eye.

ā€œGood night Arjun.ā€ She said in a tight voice, not letting him know how sheā€™s breaking inside. She heard the bike roared with acceleration and the noise soon faded. She sighed and entered inside.

She changed quickly and gave herself a long steaming shower. She smiled at herself as she noticed the marks on her neck and collarbone. Her face changed colour as she blushed. He was oddly gentle with her. Never in her wildest thoughts had she ever imagined that someone like her would make someone like ACP Arjun Rawte fall heads over heel in love with her. She cursed herself for being confused with her life decisions. For letting Karan use her once again and for hurting Arjun, despite knowing his feelings.

After tonight, her insides were bubbling with a great sense of admiration and respect for the man. He had all the chance to take advantage of her tonight. She was literally asking for it. But he didnā€™t... which is what made her feel so small in her own eyes.

She decided one thing. Sheā€™d bring clarity to her life. And for that sheā€™d have to choose. She knew whom she had chosen. First of all she had chosen herself. She had chosen to give herself all the happiness she deserves. Her doorbell rang constantly. She pulled on her robe and made her way towards the door. She just knew whoeverā€™s at the door will never made it inside. When she opened the door, she was welcomed to a tired and disappointed face of Karan who was now looking at her with hopeful eyes.

ā€œWhy didnā€™t you come for dinner Riya? Are you still angry?ā€ He asked.

ā€œNo I am not angry anymore Karan.ā€ She said calmly. A smiled touched his lips as he started moving inside.

ā€œAh! Wait, we have to talk.ā€ She said and made him stand outside the door.

ā€œYeah we can just talk inside.ā€

ā€œNo Karan, I donā€™t think youā€™d want to come inside after whatever we are going to talk.ā€

ā€œOkay. Just tell me what is it?ā€

ā€œYou have to stop seeing me.ā€ She said finally.

ā€œLike why? You said you arenā€™t angry.ā€

ā€œI am just not concerned about anything that relates you anymore Karan. In simple words,

leave me alone. I did a mistake giving you a second chance.ā€

Karan looked confused with whatever she was saying. His pretense only had managed to annoy her further.

ā€œFor Godā€™s sake Karan stop playing with my life, I have had enough of your bullshit. Now just get the fcuk out of here.ā€ She shouted on top of her voice. ā€œAnd yes tell that bitch that she can keep you forever. You both just deserve each other.ā€ With that she banged the door on his face. She didnā€™t care if heā€™s standing outside. She was just too tired that she didnā€™t know when she got to her bedroom slipped into deep slumber.


One month later...


ā€œI bet she killed him out of jealousy as she found out heā€™s having an affair.ā€ Sakshi Anand said, fairly doing any justice to the victimā€™s body. Arjun ignored her speculations. And mostly speculations like this, a referral that includes cheating or betrayal. His eyes travelled towards the head of research division of ETF. She looked like she least cared what Sakshi just said and resumed reading some papers she found from the crime scene. She looked like sheā€™s at peace. He bet she is. Since past one month he did nothing but studied her only. She doesnā€™t anymore get angry with little things. She doesnā€™t anymore wait till late night to cry her heart out in her cubicle and of course without any mention of that shithead ex husband of hers. Certain things about her are changing. And he liked that change. He just hoped she now knows what she wants.

ā€œI have to confirm whatā€™s in this file. Care to drop me off... I mean obviously if you are free.ā€ She said looking at him. It sounded too normal to the team. But he knows, after that night there is some sort of awkwardness between them. 

ā€œCan you just stop being this formal?ā€ he asked her once they were out of the crime scene and marched towards the SUV.

ā€œWell you draw the lines. Remember...?ā€ she said.

He stopped at her words and registered what she just said. Does she think he is holding himself? And here he was waiting for her to make the first move. He knows, if Riya Mukherjee wants anything she will ask for it without hesitation. And that night she did ask him... and he was the one who turned her down. He also knows one more thing that Riya Mukherjee never begs for anything. He saw her moving ahead and followed.

Heā€™ll have to talk to her because if he wouldnā€™t do it now, he might lose her forever. He got into the driving seat as she set the GPS for location. He started the SUV in silence. But he knew he was looking at anywhere but at the road. ā€œAre you planning on getting someone killed? I can hire a hitman for that. You donā€™t have to run overā€ Her voice brought him out of the trance. ā€œWhat?ā€ ā€œWhy you are so out of focus Arjun?ā€ she finally asked.

ā€œI was just thinking about what youā€™ve said earlier.ā€

ā€œWhat did I say?ā€

ā€œYou know that I wasnā€™t drawing lines.ā€ She remained silent to that. ā€œI am sorry... um... to make you uncomfortable that night. Can we be just normal like old times without feeling awkward?ā€ She said after some minutes. What normal is she talking about? He was never normal with her! She always set him in a fit of inexplicable feelings. Nothing about his feelings for her is normal.

They never really talked about what happened between them that night. He didnā€™t ask her again what she chooses. She didnā€™t tell him either. But the awkwardness prevailed in an alarming manner that was hard to defer for both of them. Hence both of them knew that how important this conversation is.

ā€œUncomfortable? Thatā€™s the best you could come up with?ā€ he was anything but uncomfortable that night. And she should have known. But isnā€™t he the one who sent her to that guilt trip? ā€œI was anything but uncomfortable that night.ā€

ā€œI understand.ā€ She said.

ā€œNo you donā€™t. You donā€™t know why I did that. I know how difficult itā€™s for you to give up on something. I didnā€™t want you to get into something with a half heart. I didnā€™t want you get into something that will suffocate you later. I didnā€™t want you to regret once again Riya...ā€ he said hoping she will understand.

ā€œI always thought, there is nothing that can kill an old school love.ā€ He silently listens to her.

ā€œBut you forgot you arenā€™t anymore in school right?ā€ he asked.

ā€œYeah! Kind of. I also thought there is only one true love...ā€

ā€œWell it depends you know who you love. There is nothing true or wrong in love...itā€™s always about people and the people we choose...ā€ she mulled over what he said and he wasnā€™t saying anything wrong.

ā€œRemember you asked me something?ā€ she asked him.

ā€œYeah what?ā€

ā€œWhat makes you happy Arjun?ā€ And finally he knew what she meant.

ā€œYou really want to know?ā€ he asked her and abruptly stopped the SUV.

ā€œThis is not the right location.ā€ Riya said looking confused.

ā€œThey say a loyal man whoā€™s in love can never kiss and drive at the same time.ā€ He said with utmost honesty in his voice making her think deep as to what he really meant. And before she could register what he meant, he captured her lips, desperately getting off the seat belt. And this time she knew, he wasnā€™t planning on to stop. Location be damned! Her mind screamed as she realised sheā€™s on the verge of losing all her bottled up emotions. Her hands loosened the seat belt as she felt free. Finally free as her heart taking a free fall for this man whoā€™s kissing her senseless. Long before she had realised what she wanted. And she can say proudly she wanted him for life. There is no denial to it anymore.

ā€œYou are indeed very loyal Arjun.ā€ She winked at him when he finally looked at her after breaking the kiss. And damn that blush. Did he ever see her blushing like this?

ā€œYou didnā€™t notice I said a loyal man in love Riya!ā€

ā€œI noticed that too...ā€

ā€œAny comments on that?ā€

The colours on her face took a deeper shade.

ā€œYou are not the shy type. Donā€™t even try that with me.ā€ He scoffed.

ā€œWell itā€™s mutual and why dear? As a human I am allowed to blush.ā€ She asked playfully.

ā€œNot when you look like this. Blushing should be illegalā€! He said in a strained voice.

ā€œLook like?ā€

ā€œI canā€™t wait till we...ā€!

ā€œWe get to the back seat...?ā€ and he laughed too hard with her reply. She joined in. They both laughed till their stomach hurt. Of all other things he didnā€™t expect such a comeback from her.

ā€œLetā€™s meet at Ravens tonight", he proposed as he started the SUV.

ā€œSure.ā€

ā€œAnd Riya...ā€!

ā€œWhat Arjun?ā€

ā€œPlease donā€™t come wearing those Eiffel Tower heels of yours.ā€

ā€œIn one condition Arjun.ā€

ā€œCondition?ā€

ā€œYeah!ā€

ā€œWhat?ā€

ā€œYou will let me ride.ā€

ā€œAre you sure we are talking about my bike.ā€

ā€œHell yeah.ā€ She said and they burst into another fit of laughter. She looked at Arjun with a new found feeling after so long. A feeling that made her feel she deserve everything. He makes her feel worthy of things she didnā€™t think she deserve. And that made her happy. Lately she came to the realization that things donā€™t last forever. There is no one true love. Letting go could bring peace too. She started living in the moment. She and Arjun never promised any forever. They just remained with each other...

Ariya: Trust

Today she is totally oncloud nine. She is ready to go back to her dream job. For which she struggledand went against her parents. She had been on bed rest for 5 months and 3months of physiotherapy and training. She got the news of her rejoiningyesterday. She is so excited to be able to be back to her team, to her family,to her love, her Arjun sir. She canā€™t believe that she could stay away from herpassion, her work for so many months. She is thinking of confessing her lovefor him. She cannot be surer about her love than ever. She is going to ETFwithout informing anyone. She wants it to be a big surprise for everyone. She freshensup and wears her black denim jeans and white shirt and takes her diary, gun andpen along with her. She is so excited to see all of them.

She takes her car and drivesall the way to office and takes the elevator to their office. She is so nervousas well as happy to be coming to office. She enters the lobby of the office andall the desk holders greet her and ask for her well being and she smiles atthem. She could not see anyone at the main area and she goes towards theconference hall. However the scenario is not what she is prepared for. She seesall the teams are hugging each other. But the most shocking scene in front ofher is the most that hurt her the most. She couldn't believe her eyes... Theman she has always loved was hugging someone else... Tears flew out of her eyesat the feeling of jealousy and betrayal but most of all hurt. She just couldnot believe that her worst fear has come true. She could not hear the whole conversationbut she hears few words such as ā€œengagementā€ and ā€œproposeā€. Thatā€™s the laststraw for her. She slips away from the chaos and goes towards the terrace. Her Arjunsir has moved on. She mistook his care for his love. She was a total idiot tothink ā€œhe. Arjun Suryakant Rauteā€ will fall for her. She is nothing but aliability to him. She had hope against hope that all the care, concern and thefeeling that she saw in his eyes were nothing more than he felt for other teammembers. She was nothing special.

She had a hard life. She hadfought for everything she has gained. Her family never supported her dream ofbecoming an police officer. Her friends did not understand her inspiration ofserving the country. When she joined ETF she thought that her hard work paidoff. But then also she was proved wrong and the person who holds her heart wasthe one who underestimated her at every step of the time she spent working withhim. The case of Zora virus was totally bummer for her career and life. She thoughtshe will never see him again, never feel his presence, never confess her loveand never live her life with him. But god blessed her with a chance by savingher. Today when she thought she will gain whatever she loses again and live thelife with her love of life. But fate again played her.

Unknown to her, her savior,her Arjun sir had seen her entry and exit. Actually what happened before Riyaarrived was that Sameer proposed Ayesha and she accepted and they decided to doan engagement ceremony with whole family. So all the members of ETF were happyand hugged each other. (Arjun has avenged Roshniā€™s death) just when Arjun andSakshi hugged, Riya entered and misunderstood. Arjun hurriedly untangled fromSakshi, he was about to go after Riya when Sakshi tries to stop him but Arjun justglares at her. All look at her with pity. Arjun goes from there and startedsearching for Riya and ask others and come to know about her whereabouts. He goesto terrace and sees riya sobbing and trying to wipe the tears away butunsuccessful. He went near her and said, ā€œtum kab ai? Kaisi ho? ro rahi ho? Kya hua? Andar kyu nahi ayi? Aise kyu chali tum upar Riya?ā€ riya heard his voiceand wiped her tears and said, ā€œkuch nahi sir. Mujhe mama papa ki yad agayi. Aapkaise hai? And congratulations sir, aap yaha kya kar rahe hai? Aapko toh anderhona chahiye. Woh sab aapko dhund rahe honge.ā€ Arjun smiles at her attempt, andsays, ā€œcongratulation tumhe mujhe nahi tumhare rathore sirko kehna chahiyeakhir uski engagement hai.ā€ Riyaā€™s eyes are wide and then he continues, ā€œmainetumhe dekha toh tumhe bulane aa gaya. Ek baat bolu riya tumhe jhut bolna nahiaata toh bolne ki jarurat nahi hai.ā€ And says ā€œkabhi kabhi akhoo se dekhi aurkaano suni hui adhi adhuri baat bhi galat hote hai. Is liye kehte hai adhijankari, anjaan hone se vi khatarnaak hota hai.ā€ Riya is embarrassed.

Arjun's phone rang and he sees Rathore is calling him but he cuts the call and look at Riya who is not looking at him and says, "Mujhe apni feelings toh express karna nahi aata. magar itna kehna chahta hu, ki mujhe jhelna asaan nahi hai, main bohot short tempered hu. main yeh nahi keh sakta ki main tumhe hurt nahi karunga magar itna keh sakta hoon ki main humesha tumhare sath rahunga. kavi vi tumhe koi kami hone nahi dunga. main ek tuta hua insaan hu jisko tumne samhala hai, joda hai, bishwash kiya hai, sath diya hai, mere gusse ko jhela hai. kya tum humesha ke liye mujhse jodke rakhkhogi? kya tum humesha mere sath meri banke rehna pasand karogi? will you do the honor of making me the happiest and luckiest person on universe by marrying me." Riya could not believe her ears and now happy tears were flowing through her eyes. she nodded as she was unable to speak and Arjun hugged her tight. they were simply enjoying their togetherness. team were happy to see them so happy. they together launched on the new couple. Sakshi was sad to see Ariya together but understood that her love was one sided.

And they lived their life with happiness.

HIS FOREVER

***********************RIYA**************************************

She has no idea where her life is going.Her parents are fed up of her love. And her love? She chuckled humourless about the whole situation. He has no idea what she feels about him. She loves him like mad but he treats her asif she doesn't even matter to him. Yes that's true. Riya Mukherjee holds noimportance in the supercop Arjun Suryakant Rawte's life.

And now this problem. Her parents decided to get her married. She has to tell Arjun about her feelings before its too late. Her phone started ringing all of a sudden.She looked at the ID only to stand still. Shit! Rathore sir!

"Hello?" She gulped picking upthe call. As soon as ETF Chief Sameer Rathore heard Riya's voice he launched his lecture immediately.

"What the hell is wrong with you?Where are you?" She took a deep breath and shook her head tensed.

"I am coming sir". She said cutting the call. She really doesnā€™t want to talk to anyone right now.

God only knows what's written in her destiny but she knows one thing, that, she won't be able to live without Arjun.

***********************ARJUN**************************************

He came inside the office grinning like an idiot. He never thought that life will give him a second chance at happiness. When his Rosh died he thought that his life will end with his aim, which was to give justice to his deceased wife. But someone said it right. Life must go on. And thatā€™s what happened with him.

He met her. 

 Riya Mukherjee. Yes, he genuinely thought that she shouldnā€™t be here in ETF, not because he had a doubt on her ability, but because he knew that her heart is very pure and she doesnā€™t deserve the nightmares this job gives. He never wanted to see tears in her eyes but then he had to compel her to shoot. Though she broke down initially but now, she is a pro.  

He has no idea when and how she became so important for him, in fact he always tried to keep her away from him but his heart started beating for her way before he killed that monster. 

Yes, he is free now. Free from his guilt of not saving his Rosh. He had killed that monster but he canā€™t forget the way Riya fought.She is a tigress alright. Even Sikandar was afraid of her. Arjun grinned thinking about the incident. 

ā€œDamn it!!ā€ Arjun looked ahead startled hearing his chief and best friendā€™s voice. 

Now whatā€™s wrong with this man? He went towards Sameer and looked at him amused. ā€œArjun stop it yaar, I am already tensed.ā€ Sameer said with an irritated expression.

ā€œWhatā€™s the matter?ā€ Arjun asked looking at Sameer confused while Sameer looked at him irritated.

 ā€œShanaya is coming.ā€ Sameer said nervously and Arjunā€™s eyes lightened up.

 ā€œAre you serious?ā€ Arjun asked excited. He canā€™t believe his Shanu is coming back to Mumbai. 

ā€œAbsolutely serious Ajju.ā€  He turned around as soon as he heard her beautiful voice. Arjun grinned like a mad man seeing his life in front of him.She is really here. He spread his arms and she ran into his arms grinning.

 ********************************RIYA**************************

"She couldn't believe her eyes... The man she has always loved was hugging someone else... Tears flew out of her eyes at the feeling, jealousy and betrayal but most of all hurt.. "

She wiped her tears and moved inside the office. She canā€™t let him see how much hurt she is by his actions.  

ā€I canā€™t believe Ajju. You are so grown up.ā€ The girl said grinning and Arjun looked at her as if he has found his everything.  ā€œI know right. But I missed you too much Shanu. Where were you? How could you leave me when I needed you the most?ā€ Arjun asked with tears in his eyes and she felt her heart constrict. He has someone else in his life. Someone who is very special to him.

 I am ready to marry him. She messaged her Dad wiping her tears.  Arjun went to his cabin with the girl and everyone else along with Riya went to do the pending paperworks.

 This is it. This is the end of her life. She can never be with Arjun now. Riya closed her eyes and took a deep breath concentrating on her work.

 ******************ARJUN****************

7 days later

ā€œWhat happened to you?? Why are you so tensed?ā€ Arjun asked looking at his friend Sameerā€™s face. ā€œYaar, I canā€™t leave this marriage and I have to go with Shanaya too.ā€ Sameer said looking at the card in his hand tensed and Arjun shook his head looking at Sameer.

What is there to even be tensed about? He has to go with Shanaya only. No marriage can be important than his own sister.

 ā€œWhy are you even thinking about this? You have to go with Shanaya.ā€ Arjun said taking a sip from his glass. ā€œI know Arjun but how can I miss Riyaā€™s wedding?ā€ Arjun choked on his tea and looked at Sameer shocked.

 ā€œRiyaā€™swedding?ā€ He asked looking at Sameer and Sameer burst out laughing looking at Arjunā€™s face. ā€œYou donā€™t know? Riya is getting married tonight.ā€ Arjun felt as if someone snatched the floor beneath his feet. He sat down on his chair closing his eyes. He knows she loves him. Then why is she getting married?

No!! he wonā€™t let his happiness be snatched away this time. He got up determined and ran out of the office ignoring Sameerā€™s voice.

 ********************RIYA*********************

 She sat down on the altar crying. Why?? Just why is her life so miserable?? She looked at her Mom and Dad only to see them folding their hands in front of her. Whatā€™s their fault in all this? They never thought that Saksham would be this disgusting.

 ā€Whatā€™s going on here??ā€  Riya got up abruptly hearing his voice. How come he is here? She didnā€™t tell him about her marriage. ā€œArjun sir?ā€ She whispered his name and he turned towards her and looked at her shocked.

ā€œRiya! Whatā€™s wrong?ā€ He asked looking at her in tension and she broke down completely seeing the care in his eyes.

She told him everything sobbing and he took a deep breath as ifā€¦ā€¦as if he is relieved to hear that her marriage is broken. She agrees that her would be husband was a criminal and he was just marrying her so that he stay safe always but why would Arjun be happy about her broken marriage?

ā€œThank god your marriage is broken.ā€ Everyone looked at Arjun stunned. Riya looked at him only to have her breath stop. Why is she feeling as if he is happy about all this?

ā€œArjun sir! What are youā€¦.ā€ She looked at him baffled only to have him keep his finger on her lips. ā€œCome on get up! Its your wedding today.ā€ He got up dragging her with him and she looked at him as if he has gone mad.

What is he even talking about?

Arjun dragged Riya with him to the altar and sat down along with her indicating the priest to start the wedding ceremony while Riya looked at him dumbfounded.

-----------------

She got up from the altar still shocked that she is Arjunā€™s wife now and  by looking at him no one will say that he is not the one whom she was originally marrying. What the hell is going on?

They both left her house after all the ceremonies. As soon as she entered Arjunā€™s house she looked at him folding her hands in front of her. She has to know whatā€™s going on in his mind. But he just went to change without even looking at her.

ā€œWhy did you marry me?ā€ She asked as soon as he stepped out from the washroom and he just rolled his eyes at her. ā€œSo? What didyou expect? That I will let my love marry someone else?ā€ He said looking at her in challenge while she looked at him stunned.

What does he mean by all this?

Arjun sat down on his bed and pulled her on his lap while she looked at him perplexed. What is wrong  with him?

ā€œSaksham is no criminal. He just did what I said.ā€ He said smiling slightly and Riya looked at him with wide eyes. ā€œThat meansā€¦..ā€ Riya started saying but Arjun just rolled his eyes. ā€œYour time is gone baby doll. I know you love me. Then how can you even think about marrying someone else? Now you did a huge mistake and you deserve a punishment.ā€ Arjun said sternly and Riya gulped hard looking at him.

ā€œPunā€¦.Punishment?ā€ She asked scared and tried to move back but he just pulled her hard and she closed her eyes tightly.

***************ARJUN***************

He smiled looking at her and kissed her on the corner of her lips softly. She opened her eyes and looked at him stunned. ā€œYour punishment is that you have to bear me for the rest of your life, cause I canā€™t live without you.ā€ He said huskily near her ear and she sucked in a breath. 

ā€œWhy?ā€ she asked breathing heavily and he smiled at her innocence. He still canā€™t understand how come he can be this lucky to have this angel in his life as his wife.

ā€œBecauseā€¦ā€ He pushed her down on the bed and came on top of her while she looked at him attentively. 

ā€œIā€¦ā€ He whispered moving towards her lips and she gulped looking in his eyes. Her beautiful eyes are calling him towards him.

ā€œLoveā€¦ā€ He said moving more close to her lips. She took a deep breath as soon as their lips brush each other slightly.

 ā€You.ā€ He said and captured her lips in his pouring all his feelings in this one kiss and she smiled surrendering herself to him for ever.
