The doorbell rang… he opened the door and his eyes were blessed with a mesmerising view… His HM was standing at the door… Wait… His HM??
She wanted to spend some time with him… coffee was the best excuse… He took her to the kitchen citing it to be the place his mother would never invade. His clumsiness made the saucepan to land on the floor making a huge thud… HM hid behind the cupboard and pulled him with her… That was the closest he had been to her… he could see her every feature clearly which made her even prettier… She suddenly hugged him… Something his heart was craving for… The great SHO Haseena Malik was afraid of cockroaches… How cute!!! Wait… Focus boy… Focuss…
“Waqai mei darr gayi, ya humare pas aane ka bahana tha?” he asked. She broke the hug and tried to run away but he blocked her way. She blushed… he felt that he just saw the most beautiful sight in the world… Those pretty eyes were drawing him towards them… The phone chimed breaking the moment… He cursed silently… Wait… What are you doing??
He was returning after meeting his senior and found HM waiting near his car. He was shocked… His cover was blown… She was too smart to be fooled… He had to tell her the entire truth… She could not believe his words… Her eyes were clearly showing it. She asked him, “Kya kabhi bhi aapne humse pyaar kiya?” His ‘No’ broke her heart… She was onboarded on the mission but she left without another word… He couldn’t bear her silence… Wait… This was going to happen someday…
KS was waiting for both of them with the ring… SS noticed his busted lip… That punch did hurt a lot… She was a powerful woman… But she couldn’t remove the ring that had stuck in her finger… He removed it for her… “Humne aapko mukt kiya” he said with a heavy heart. His words did not match his thoughts… Wait… isn’t this the right thing to do?
KS had followed them to the training arena the next day… She was surprised to know that they were pretending and were not really getting married… “Toh kya aap dono ek dusre se pyaar bhi nahi karte hai?” KS asked. “Nahi” HM replied promptly… He could hear his heart breaking into million pieces… Wait… “Nahi” he replied.
HM had been silent all through the journey to her Chachaji’s house… AS had had an altercation with her when he labelled her uncle as a traitor without any proofs. Mahipal Singh agreed for their marriage and HM smiled… Maybe her first genuine smile after knowing the truth… He had been waiting for it… “Hum apne prano se adhik aapke prano ki raksh karenge… kyunki aapke pran hamare liye bohot hi mahatva purn hai” he said… He himself didn’t know he meant every word… Wait… he was only convincing her Chachaji, wasn’t he?
She looked ethereal in the blue saree… His heart slipped and he was mesmerised… Wait… Focussss…
He was wrong… and she was right… Her trust had prevailed… Her chachaji was not a traitor and loved her beyond measure… tears flowed from her eyes… he couldn’t see her cry… By the time he looked for KS, HM had disappeared… The two most special people of his life were missing… moreover the danger of the bio attack was looming… He had chosen the nation over everything… He trusted KS and HM… They can defend themselves… Here they were… ready to attack. The fight ensued and HM got her hands on the virus. Genda threatened to shoot… What HM did next, made his heart miss a beat… Wait… He had to think fast… They decided to move to Mahipal Singh’s house.
He drove like a mad man… He looked for the antidote around the house… fear and dread surging through his body… He found it… Everyone was waiting for HM to gain consciousness… She opened her eyes and smiled when SS said “MS mai santu”. He could finally breath… Wait… such situations were not new to him…
He had asked her to visit his office… She looked tired… maybe she wasn’t sleeping well… maybe she had lost some weight, she looked weak… he handed her the bag with the gifts… “Pyaar karne ki anumati nahi hai humein” he said… Wait… really??
She took her leave… He wanted to stop her… for one more moment… for a little while more… for one more look… for one smile… Wait… don’t… Let her be… don’t make it difficult for her…
He was selected as a ‘Field Agent’ as he was strong headed… There was no place for any emotions. He had abided by all the rules that any agent should… Without any questions asked… But today his heart had started questioning the same rules… Was he not human?? Didn’t a heart beat inside him?? Didn’t he deserve to be loved or to love someone??
HM was responsible for all this… Every time he was lost in her eyes, he left a part of himself behind… Every time she smiled at him, he felt like he had conquered the world… Every time she blushed, his heart danced to all the different tunes; Doctors would be worried if his ECG was drawn… Every moment he spent with her, his heart behaved like a spoilt child… No matter how many times his brain reprimanded it… He hadn’t realised yet… but he had fallen hard for her…
