"OVERWHELMED"

They both are sitting on sofa when Varun calls Mallika.

Varun:
Major, Aapki flight ticket mail kardi hai.
Mallika:
Flight ticket?

Sumedh looks at Mallika.

Varun:
Haa...Kal raat ke hai. You have to come back for your volunteery retirement.
Mallika:
Oh yeah! But Sumedh nahi aa raha kya saath, woh bhi toh job chod raha hai na.

Sumedh looks down.

Varun:
No Major, Shayad baat nahi hui Sumedh Sir se, He is not quitting, He wants to continue.

Mallika looks at Sumedh. She cuts the call.

Sumedh:
Look, I was going to tell you.
Mallika:
When?
Sumedh:
I was hoping you would stay too...
Mallika:
Stay where?
Sumedh:
In this job. Mallika you are too good at what you do. I am good at it too, I don't want to leave. All these days, I felt complete serving my country.
Mallika:
U are right. You don't have reason to quit. Ab toh tum sabke nazar mein phirse uppar aagaye ho iss mission ke baad.
Sumedh:
Mallika...Can you stay?
Mallika:
I have to be with mom.
Sumedh:
Jhoot kisse bol rahi ho Mallika?!
Mallika:
What jhoot?
Sumedh:
I know you in and out. Tum army chod rahi thi coz you felt that my betrayal has made you fall in every senior. You felt that you are incompetent for serving your country. And sabke itne saare chehre dekhne ke baad tum thaak gayi....Right?

She gets silent.

Mallika:
Yeah.
Sumedh:
But look Mallika, Where you have reached. You caught the person who killed 3 agents.
Mallika:
It was you Sumedh who did that...I didn't do anything.
Sumedh:
You did! You were my support all this while. You are the reason I am here Mallika....I was working as Army Advocate, Sometimes CBI but look where am I right now...I am an undercover agent right now. I am where people dream to be, because of one person--Major Mallika Singh.
Mallika:
So...You tell me, What should I do?

Sumedh holds her hand, looks into her eyes.

Sumedh:
STAY...PLEASE STAY.
Mallika:
Its only good and functionable when you and I are a team. We wouldn't be together always---
Sumedh:
Why? We can talk to Anil sir about that. We can do as much as missions possible missions together. And I am sure that Anil sir thinks that we are the best team.
Mallika:
Will you...WILL YOU ALWAYS SUPPORT ME?
Sumedh:
TILL MY LAST BREATHE MALLIKA.

A very simple convo had settled a lot of things between them.

Mallika:
One last thing.
Sumedh:
What?
Mallika:
I want coffee...Coffee khatam hogai hai...Jaake leke aao.
Sumedh:
Okkk laata hu.

Sumedh and Mallika start laughing.
Sumedh goes to get coffee. Varun sends the body cam video to Mallika. The footage of Sumedh's date night with Veronica.
Mallika sits and watches it. Sumedh comes with coffee.

Sumedh:
Kya dekh rahi ho?
Mallika:
Body cam ka footage. Tum coffee banao na.

Sumedh gets alerted. He makes coffee in 10x speed.

Sumedh:
Yeh lo tumhari coffee!
Mallika:
Thanks!
Sumedh:
Band karo isse yarr! Coffee ka maza lo!

Sumedh says in most causal way possible.
Just as she is going to close the video, The part where they were on hill comes. She waits for some secs. She sees the part where Veronica kisses Sumedh.
She looks at Sumedh is disbelief whose face looks scared.

Sumedh:
I can explain.
Mallika:
You kissed her?
Sumedh:
She kissed me. I didn't even kiss back. Uske baad I directly got her home Mallika, I swear.
Mallika:
Why didn't you tell me?
Sumedh:
I was scared. Like I am now.
Mallika:
Scared?
Sumedh:
We are talking normally with each other from just 2-3 days Mallika...I didn't want a studip kiss to ruin it.
Mallika:
Thats it Sumedh...I can't work with you. I can't trust you again.

She gets up.

Mallika:
I clearly warned you. When I heard you telling Veronica that you feeling for me...I thought you changed.

Sumedh gets up in surpise when he learns she overheard his break up convo with Veronica.

Mallika:
But you proved me wrong. You would never change. You are same person who just fucked me and would fuck any girl he meets.
Sumedh:
No Mallika. That's not the case. I won't fuck any girl I meet. I DIDN'T 'JUST FUCK YOU'. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I COULDN'T CONTROL MYSELF OR JUST STICK TO WORK. AND IF IT'S JUST THAT ONE STUDIP KISS THAT MAKES YOU QUESTION MY FEELINGS FOR YOU, THEN I'LL MAKE UP THAT ONE KISS FOR YOU WITH THOUSANDS OF KISSES MISS MALLIKA SINGH!

Mallika tries to process his words.
He takes steps towards her, holds her wrist, slightly twists it, locks it behind her back, pulls her close to him and smashes his lips on her.
Mallika struggles with her. He gives her a long deep kiss. He stops, his mouth still on her. She attempts to speak.

Mallika:
Leave--

She tries to part from him  with her other hand but he holds that wrist too and pins her to the wall with fixing her hands beside her head, Totally taking control over her.

Sumedh:
DYING IS EARLIER THAT NOT KISSING YOU RIGHT NOW, THAN LEAVING YOU MALLIKA.

His mouth covers her as he gives her deep kisses. Mallika stops struggling, doesn't kiss him back but doesn't resist too.
Sumedh hand went from her wrist to her fingers. They locked their fingers together.
After a long deep kiss, He stopped. He looked into her eyes.

Sumedh:
PLEASE DON'T GO MALLIKA. PLEASE.
Mallika:
Why are you stopping me?
Sumedh:
Is it so difficult to understand?
.

How was the part?! Commentsssss!
