Central Detective training School
Beniapukur
09:20 am
   Arjun, looking much younger, was sitting in a class listening to a lecture. His face expresses that he was in a very bored mood. He constantly watches his wrist watch. After the lecture is completed, he went to the canteen. He took out his phone and dialed to Nikhil. Both Nikhil and he completed the police training together. Nikhil joined the force whereas Arjun wants to become a private detective. They both are very good friends. He had a little chat with Nikhil and he hung the phone.
   After a half day of boring classes, he went to his hostel room. He changed himself into t-shirt and tracks. He went to a nearby shop to buy snacks. He gave 50 rupees and gets a change of 20 rupees. Suddenly he noticed something different about the note. A number is written on it very lightly. His inner voice influenced him to call the number, but he didn’t care about it and came back to the room. Then he didn’t think anything about the number.
07:30 pm
After having dinner, he went to the bed. Suddenly the thought of the number stroked his mind. His instinct tells him that it is surely a girl’s number. He took out the 20 Rs. He took the courage and called the number. His heartbeat and the phone ring is beating in synchronization. After 4 rings, the call is attended. As his instinct, the receiver is a girl. Her voice is like an AR Rahman song to his ears. After enjoying the 4 hello’s said by her, he came back to consciousness. He started the conversation.
‘Hello. Is this Mrs. Bholi Devi speaking?’
‘I’m sorry. This is a wrong number.’
‘Is it? Wait a minute.’
He pretended to be checking the number but he was very delighted to know that it is a girl.
‘Oh… I’m so sorry. I didn’t watch the number correctly. Once again sorry.’
‘It’s okay. No problem.’
‘Ok bye.’
‘Ok then see you.’ Then she hanged the phone. He saved the number as “Darling”. He checked if the number is in Whatsapp. As expected, she is in Whatsapp. He opened the chat but couldn’t send anything. He just switched off the phone and went to sleep with a smile on his face. His next few days goes as normal as it is. But her face keeps coming into his mind

   Arjun was sitting on his bed. He opened the chat of his girl. He typed hi and then cleared it. Finally he decided to message her. He looked at the time. It is 11:45 pm. He sent a republic day greeting to her. He felt very light after sending the message, but he is also feared of the reply from her. After 10 minutes, his phone beeped. He looks at the reply
‘Thank You. Who is this???”
He replied,’ Arjun Bhagwat. Yesterday. Wrong Number.’
‘Oh, I see. Why did you save my number?’
‘I didn’t save it. I have already have it as my aunt’s number. I forget to delete it.’
‘It’s ok. Anyway thanks for your wishes. Hear from you soon.’
‘Definitely. Bye.’
He felt that as the best moment of his life. From that day, they are always being in touch with each other. Their Whatsapp chat leads to cup of coffee and then to some dinner, some lunch. They both develop a good friendship.
Ragini was doing Journalism. She doesn’t have mother, only father. Her father, Prem Kumar, is a Ph.D. in material science and is working in research field. She doesn’t have more friends. She always remain silent.

Their chat continues…
‘What is your further plans, Arjun?’
‘I have to start my own private detective agency.’
‘Well. All the best.’
‘Thanks Better-Half.’
‘What did you just say?’
‘Nothing.’
‘How can you say that? I thought you were a good person, but you are still alike all the men.’
‘Ok… Ok… I’m sorry. I don’t know why I said that. Just forget it.’
‘Ok … Bye. I will meet later.’

He felt ashamed for saying like that. After she left, he typed ‘sorry’ for more than one time. For 1 week, she didn’t come online

After a long time, Arjun got a message from Ragini.
‘You know I don’t have more friends. I have always stayed alone in my life. I don’t know about relationships. The word you said seemed very different to me. That’s why I became angry. I am not angry now.’
‘Thank god. Ok I want to ask you something.’
‘Go on.’
‘I have a habit of asking about my good and bad habits in mine to the person I’ve been with like my friends, relatives, etc. So I need your answer now. Can you tell about how I am?’
After a few minutes, she replied, which wobbled his sense.
‘There is nothing bad in you. You are such a good person, Better-Half.’
He certainly knows that she likes him very much. He thought of proposing to her. So he brought a bouquet and a small ring to give it to her on Valentine’s Day.

11:30 pm
Arjun was sleeping in his room. Suddenly his phone ranged. Ragini has called. He attended the call. She said to come out of his hostel.
Confusing, he came out of the hostel. She was standing outside a hostel near a tree. Seeing him, she came towards him.
‘What are you …?’ He can’t speak. His lips is twisted with her lips. She was holding his cheeks very tightly. After she released his lips, she asked him, ‘Will you take me as your Better-Half?’
He didn’t say anything. He just hugged her. The minute was magical. Suddenly a sound disturbed the magical moment. The next moment, he was in a bed, awakened by the alarm sound. The alarm showed 2:00 pm.
Now only realized that he was sleeping in his house. His wife Sara was sleeping in the sofa. He get up and freshened himself and went out of the house
