Since Saisha knew that Aarish wasn't going to come to the shop she herself went to the police station.

She asked the officer on duty about him and was told to wait since he was in a meeting.

She sat in the waiting area and fidgeted with her fingers. Some time later she heard his voice.

He came out of his room and shook hands with a man who looked like some really important person. He smiled and escorted him out.

His eyes widened for a second seeing her there but he composed himself and escorted the man out of the station.

He came back inside and stood in front of her.

"What-what are you doing here?"

He asked and she grinned.

"You said you weren't coming to the shop so mai yaha aa gyi."

He pinched the bridge of his nose to control his frustration. He wass trying to get her out of his system and she was making it difficult for him.

"Come in my room."

She blushed at his words and he groaned knowing how she took it but didn't comment on it. She followed him still smiling shyly.

He sat on his chair and motioned for her to sit too. She sat and he asked what she wanted.

"Listen Ms. Saisha. Mai pehle bhi keh chuka hai. I am just doing my job. Just a case I am working on. That's all. I am not your boyfriend or husband jo you have to come here to see me. Please don't do this again if very necessary and important."

Her smile fell and she bowed her head. He felt a punch in his guts seeing her sullen mood. She looked so cheerful earlier.

His eyes fell on a small box she was carrying.

"What is that?"

She looked up at him and followed his line of sight. She gripped the box and muttered in a low voice.

"I made cake for you. As a thank you for helping me and my family."

His eyes softened for a moment before he steeled himself and said looking away.

"Thank you but I don't eat cakes."

She now felt like crying and put the box on the table while getting up.

"I made it for you. Maine aapko de dia. Ab aap iska jo krna hai kro. Distribute it to the officers outside or throw it in the dustbin."

She said and ran out. He sighed and looked at the box. When he was sure she had left he got up and took out a spoon from the cupboard. He opened the box and smiled seeing the small thank you cake.

He took a bite and moaned at how good it tasted. A wide smile formed on his face. She had made it for him.

Saisha was leaving when she eyes fell on him through the window in his room. She saw him eating the cake made by her with a wide smile and a smile formed on her face.

"Pta nhi kyu itne sadu bante hai. What is the problem in accepting your own feelings Mr. Aarish?"

She went back with a rejuvenated mood. She knew he would not come on his own tomorrow. So she planned another mock theft.

The next day she bit her lip giggling to herself. This time she was careful about wearing gloves so he wouldn't find any fingerprints.

She went to the security room like a ritual and again pretended to be shocked seeing the footage.

Smiling mischeviously she dialled him and again dramatically explained him the problem.

Aarish rushed to her shop with a frown. What the hell was happening? He straight away went to the security room and carefully looked at the video.

"Now I am sure it is one of your employees. Last time she didn't wear gloves. Maybe she heard us and this time she was careful enough to do that."

He muttered and she just looked at him. His smile while eating the cake wasn't leaving her mind.

"I think someone is taking the advantage of that theft. Usse lag rha hai ki itni badi chori ke aage koi inn chhoti chhoti choriyon ko nhi dekhega."

He continued and she asked.

"What are we going to do?"

He looked at her for a minute. She could feel that he wanted to say something but he refrained himself and said.

"Send me the footage. I'll see what we find on it."

She nodded and then asked something that made him look at her wide eyed.

"Are you free this evening?"

He opened his mouth several times but nothing came out. He finally sighed and looked at her.

"I think we have had a conversation regarding this Ms. Saisha. My personal life has nothing to do with you."

She smiled and stepped closer to him making him look at her intensely.

"Really? If what you feel for me is only professional then why do you look at me like this Aarish?"

He too took a step closer to her and whispered close to her face.

"Look at you like what Saisha?"

God! The way he took her name sent shivers down her spine.

"That you are frustrated and turned on at the same time. That you want to leave and never come back but also never leave me. That you want me to shut up before also keep listening to me. Like right now the way you are looking at my lips you want to kiss me senseless."

He could have kissed her for this if not for his work. It was too dangerous to he associated with him. His life was at stake all the times. But whatever she said was 100% correct.

He looked away neither accepting nor denying her words and she smiled.

"Why do you keep running Aarish? Keh do na agar pasand krte ho toh?"

Releasing a loud sigh he looked at her.

"Aisa kuch nhi hai."
