A New Journey

Tarika, Tasha and Vivek were sitting at a corner table in Bureau canteen having their lunch and talking about this and that when suddenly Abhijeet entered there and directly moved to the counter talking over phone. As soon as he stood in front of the cashier he handed him a brown parcel. The senior in command took the parcel and left the canteen busy over phone, without glancing here and there.

"How can people have sandwich over lunch?'' Tarika groaned inspecting the whole situation.

''He literally lives on sandwiches.'' Vivek said, filling his mouth with food.

''Don't worry. Soon, he won't.'' Tarika stated looking at the way Abhijeet had just left.

'' Will you take it slow?'' Tasha urged her best friend.

''Tch… I don't want to waste time.''

''But I want you to have your ways slowly. Otherwise he will just break your heart with a bolt.''

''And if I take it slow then?'' Tarika asked.

''He will break it slowly.'' Vivek laughed.

''Shut up.'' Tarika rolled her eyes, ''Okay listen. I want to give him something as a gesture of appreciation of what he had done to help me. What do you think I should gift him?'' Tarika asked her friends.

''I don't know,'' Tasha pretended to think, ''what he likes apart from guns and case files.''

''Tasha, can you be a little serious for once please?'' Tarika was irritated.

''What? I am trying to help here.'' Tasha said, offended.

''Give him detective novels.'' Vivek suggested, intervening their arguments.

''Yeah. You can do that.'' Tasha suggested.

''No. That seems boring. I want to give him something meaningful and friendly enough.''

''Perfume'?'' Tasha proposed, not sure.

''Yeah… Great idea. But what brand and flavour he uses?'' Tarika was confused.

''Does it matter?'' Vivek asked.

''Of course. What's the purpose of gifting him perfumes if he doesn't wear them?'' Tarika rolled her eyes.

''Vivek will find it out.'' Tasha looked at Vivek.

''Yeah sure, I will ask him directly and tell you.'' Vivek said casually.

Both new joined females slapped their forehead in union.

''What?'' Vivek asked, offended.

''If you ask him and then she gift him the same named perfume won't he gonna assume she did that with your help?'' Tasha explained.

''Yeah. So what? Is that a problem?''

''You don't need to do anything Vivek.'' Tarika stood up. ''I will think about it. Now I have to go. I need to complete a file by evening.''
