(Madhu's POV)

RK's arms wrapped around me and helped me position the gun in the correct method. His strong hands clasped over my shaky ones. I hadn't held a gun in years. My mind wasn't used to using a life threatening weapon. I was afraid of shooting in the wrong direction, afraid of hurting someone. I looked to my side, breathing hard. The muscles in RK's arm bulged. Seemed like a bodybuilder too. What didn't he excel at?

"What are you afraid about? Shoot the target." He ordered.

"Huh?.....oh....uhhhhhh.....sorry." I squeaked. My hand slipped.

"Let me help you." He said.

He positioned the gun again, gripping my hands like he was going to crush them if I didn't do it right.

"Relax and keep your aim in the target."

"Now?"

I felt his head move in a nod. I readied myself and fired the shot. It hit the bulls eye. I stood speechless at my achievement, staring at the smoke emerging from the gun.

"Wow. That was great for first try."

"Thanks." I said.

"Now try without my help." He said confidently.

I nodded, a little more confident than before. RK changed the target to a fresh one and ushered me to shoot. I felt his strong embrace around me again, guiding my mind to the goal. The bulls eye. I positioned the gun and fired the shot. It hit the center. Right where I wanted it. RK began clapping.

"Not bad. You could make a great secret agent."

I didn't know how to reply. Instead I flashed the brightest smile I could. The dogs wagged their tails in enjoyment. Then they resumed chasing each other in the living room. RK approached me and took the gun out of my hands. I felt more relaxed.

"Are you prepared for tomorrow?"

"All I need to do is shoot a gun?"

"Unfortunately yes. I can't teach you everything in just one night. So you will be our......I don't want to say this but.......you're going to be the bait."

"The bait. Let me guess......to lure Sultan out of his hiding spot."

"Yep.....you're so smart Madhu."

"That I am." I said, flaunting myself.

"You go to bed. I'll wake you when it is time to go."

"Okay. Are the dogs coming too?"

"Yes. They will be a great hunt in finding the bomb."

"Alright." I said.

"Scared?" RK said, smirking a little.

"Not much. When there is a professional secret agent on my side, what is there to worry about?"

RK smirked and carried me to the bedroom in his arms. I clung to him tightly, feeling unusually comfortable, snuggling close to his chest. My ear rested on his heart, the soft heartbeats playing a song in my ears. He placed me down on the bed and tucked me in. I looked up at him, his eyes glinted in a lovable gaze. My insides felt tingly. I turned to my side and blushed. He took quiet steps out of the room, slowly closing the door behind him. I dozed off within seconds.

I woke up to find myself in a decorated hall, covered in glowing red candles and bouquets of roses, carefully placed in every corner. I looked down at myself. I was wearing a floor length, black ball gown. Decorated with glittering sequins. I looked around for someone. Footsteps advanced towards my location. A man dressed in a black tuxedo waltzed onto the marble floor in front of my feet. RK......that's who he was.

"Dreaming about me I see." He laughed.

"Dreaming......?" I murmured confused.

"Yes...dreaming." He said, then kneeling on his knee. "May I have this dance?" He asked, holding my hand in his.

I became lost in his captivating trance. He looked like a Greek god. Perfect jawline and facial features, deep black eyes, and that killer smirk. All of that was waiting for me.

"Yes you may." I replied.

He stood up and took my hand, while clasping my waist with his fingers. Our bodies touched each other, like someone had glued us together. I blushed wildly.

Then the music began to play.....

Sajde Mein Yun Hi Jhukta Hoon
Tum Pe Hi Aa Ke Rukhta Hoon
Kya Yeh Sab Ko Hota Hai

Hum Ko Kya Lena Hai Sab Se
Tum Se Hi Sab Baatein Ab Se
Ban Gaye Ho Tum Meri Dua

Sajde Mein Yun Hi Jhukta Hoon
Tum Pe Hi Aa Ke Rukhta Hoon
Kya Yeh Sab Ko Hota Hai

He twirled me in circles, then bending me back, while holding my delicate waist.

Hum Ko Kya Lena Hai Sab Se
Tum Se Hi Sab Baatein Ab Se
Ban Gaye Ho Tum Meri Dua
Khuda Jaane Ke Mein Fida Hoon
Khuda Jaane Mein Mitt Gaya
Khuda Jaane Yeh Kyun Hua Hai
Ke Ban Gaye Ho Tum Mere Khuda

He pushed and pulled me intensely, but still maintained the grace of the moment.

Tu Kahe To Tere Hi Kadam Ke
Main Nishanon Pe
Chalun Rukun Ishaare Pe
Tu Kahe To Khwabon Ka Bana Ke
Main Bahana Sa
Mila Karun Sirhaane Pe
Ho Tum Pe Dil Ki Baatein Seekhi
Tum Se Hi Yeh Raahein Seekhi
Tum Pe Mar Ke Main To Jee Gaaya

Khuda Jaane Ke Mein Fida Hoon
Khuda Jaane Mein Mitt Gaya
Khuda Jaane Yeh Kyun Hua Hai
Ke Ban Gaye Ho Tum Mere Khuda

Dil Kahe Ke Aaj To Chupa Lo Tum
Panahon Mein
Ke Daar Hai Tum Ko Kha Doonga
Dil Kahe Sambhal Zara Khushi Ko
Na Nazar Laga
Ke Daar Hai Mein To Ro Doonga

O Karti Hoon Sau Vaade Tum Se
Baandhe Dil Ke Dhaage Tum Se
Yeh Tumhe Na Jaane Kya Hua

Khuda Jaane Ke Mein Fida Hoon
Khuda Jaane Mein Mitt Gaya
Khuda Jaane Yeh Kyun Hua Hai
Ke Ban Gaye Ho Tum Mere Khuda

Sajde Mein Yun Hi Jhukta Hoon
Tum Pe Hi Aa Ke Rukhta Hoon
Kya Yeh Sab Ko Hota Hai

Hum Ko Kya Lena Hai Sab Se
Tum Se Hi Sab Baatein Ab Se
Ban Gaye Ho Tum Meri Dua

Khuda Jaane Ke Mein Fida Hoon
Khuda Jaane Mein Mitt Gaya
Khuda Jaane Yeh Kyun Hua Hai
Ke Ban Gaye Ho Tum Mere Khuda
Ke Ban Gaye Ho Tum Mere Khuda

The music stopped.....the lights dimmed. RK cupped my face in his hands and drew me closer to his face. He crushed his lips onto mine, sucking and holding them in his. Our lips softened. My face blazed strawberry red and we broke away. He stared at me with loving eyes, drowning in them. We lost ourselves in each other. He leaned in for another kiss, when suddenly a gun shot was heard. The fired bullet flew between us, hitting the imaginary wall in the back. RK pulled me into his arms and pulled out his gun, circling the room in a defensive stance.

"Tsk tsk tsk.......if only you two could stay together." The mysterious figure whispered. He pointed the gun at both of us. RK and the man fired at the same time.

I woke up immediately, in response to a bright light blinding my eyes. I didn't know how it ended. I wiped the sweat off of my forehead. The dream was over. I gained consciousness of my surroundings and found RK throwing the curtains open. He was wearing a Bluetooth on one ear and a gun and walkie-talkie on his waist. He was wearing thick sunglasses.

"Rise and shine Madhu. Time to get moving."

He tossed me the gun and left the room. I reflected back on my dream. I wish it would've been real.....
