"ITS COMPLICATED"

Mallika left the hall and Sumedh followed her to her room in attempt to talk to her.

Sumedh:
Mallika, why are you here?

Mallika turned to Sumedh, walked pasted him and closed the door.

Mallika:
Ex-army, Army Advocate and CBI officer Sumedh Mudgalkar has gone rogue. I am here to bring him down.
Sumedh:
We are in London...tum yaha mera kuch nahi bighad sakti. London ki government tumhe mujhe touch bhi nahi karne degi.
Mallika:
Ye koi pehli baar toh hai nahi na Sumedh ki hum kisi criminal ko pakadne London aaye hai...toh London ka kanoon mujhe matt sikhao.
Sumedh:
Mallika, Don't involve my family in this..! Please.
Mallika:
Family ke naam par sirf behen hai ab tumhari.

This somehow hurted Sumedh, he tried hiding it but Mallika knew very well.

Sumedh:
Guest ho. Kuch din raho aur nikal jao.

Before Mallika could react, Her mom calls her and she picks up the call.

Mallika:
Haa Maa?
Mom:
Mallika, dekh main janti hu ki tu apne mann ka hi karegi. Par Sumedh accha ladka hai. Please usse samjha...kuch kar matt usse.

Mallika looked up at Sumedh. He understood that her mom was talking about him so he walked out the room to give her privacy.

Mallika:
Theek hai Maa. Dekhti hu.
Mom:
Accha chod, kon kon hai waha par?
Mallika:
Hum teeno. Main, Sumedh ke behen and Sumedh.

Sumedh stopped hearing this. He understood that Mallika did not tell her mom about Vikram.

Night.

Mallika was sitting on a couch the terrace and was smoking when Sumedh too entered with cigarette box in his hand.
They saw each other and Sumedh looked down and got awkward.

Sumedh:
Sorry, mujhe pata nahi tha ki tum yaha ho. I'll leave.
Mallika:
Ruko. Tumhara hi ghar hai. Baith sakte ho.

She shifted giving him place to sit.

Mallika:
Sumedh, mujhe tum ek baat batao. Tum aage karne kya wale ho? Tumhara kaam hogaya, Army tumhare against hai, India mein reh nahi sakte, tumhara plan tumpe ulta pad chuka hai. I am very curious about your next move.!
Sumedh:
Ye kon puch raha hai? Major Mallika ya Mallika?
Mallika:
Tum ek sawal ka seedha jawab nahi de sakte kya??

Mallika frowned irritatedly.

Sumedh:
I don't know Mallika. I fucked up. Maybe London shift hojaunga. New life.
Mallika:
Without army?
Sumedh:
Hmm...
Mallika:
Sumedh that will be tough.
Sumedh:
Not that tough. NOT TOUGHER THAN THAN LIVING A LIFE WITHOUT YOU.

He said looking straight into her eyes. Mallika's eyes widened at that sudden confession. Mallika's cigarette dropped from her hand and Sumedh noticed it. He threw away his cigarette, holded her arm and pulled her closer.

Sumedh brought his face close to her and kisses her slow and deep.
They kissed for 20 secs until Sumedh pulled away and left the terrace, leaving Mallika confused.
