Arjun anxiously pacing in his cabin & constantly calling Bonnie, but she is not picking up the phone. Rajat entered in his cabin.

Rajat- Boss, her cell phone location is her home.

Arjun- Then, why she is not picking up?

Rajat- Is she is in any danger?

Arjun looked confused. "Is it possible to track down Bonnie so easily? Well, I am not taking any chance. I am going to her home. Rajat, make the sketch of that lady. I want it soon".

Rajat- But...

Arjun- I will manage & will not let anything happen to Bonnie. But still, prepare back up team for any emergency. Just relax & do as I said.

Rajat nodded his head.

Arjun parked his bike outside Bonnie's Apartment. He climbed up the stairs & knocked at her door three times in his style. But getting no response, he became more tensed. This time he pushed the door applying pressure. But without much struggle, he able to open the door. He cautiously stepped inside, holding his gun. There is no one in the room, but there is also no sign of struggle in the room. Everything looks perfect. Arjun went towards bedroom. He slowly opened the bedroom door. He was startled to see Bonnie standing there holding a big chocolate cake. A smell of sensual rose room fragrance hit his nose. He looked at the room decorated with flowers & candles. Arjun looked visibly confused. He is still standing holding his gun. Bonnie came closer to him. The muzzle of his gun touching her bare chest as she is wearing a strapless black gown. Arjun put his gun down & keep it in holster which is hidden by his jacket.

"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday dear Arjun, Happy Birthday to you... Now, cut the cake. You are already late."

Arjun frowned. " What nonsense is this Bonnie?"

Bonnie- This is not nonsense Arjun. I really wanted to celebrate your birthday. I expected you last night, but you did not came. I cried, I felt someone stabbed in my heart.

Arjun- Bonnie, I don't have time to waste.

Bonnie- Arjun please, listen... ( She hold his hand.)

Bonnie- But see you came for me. I know, you are late, but still, you came. You care for me.

Arjun- Yes, I care for you. I care for Rajat & I care for each & every Officer working in my team. As a Senior Officer, it is my duty. As I am not been able to contact with you. So, I came to check. It's as simple as that.

Bonnie- No, you are lying.

Arjun- Why should I lie? By the way, I am not getting the reason of your irresponsible behavior.

Bonnie looked at him. Her face fell.

Arjun- Why you are here now? Did I sanction you leave? Why the hell you are not picking up the phone? Don't you know that out of contact means you are in danger in our profession? I never expected this kind of irresponsible act from you. This is my last warning to you.

Arjun turned to leave. But Bonnie hugged him from behind. Arjun froze.

Bonnie- I love You AM. When I first saw you, I fall in love with you. I love everything about you. AM, I know I behaved like a fool. I just wanted to share my feeling with you. Scold me, but please don't go.

Arjun gasped. He stood there like a statue. Bonnie again pulled his hand.

Bonnie ( Almost whispering)- I really Love You AM. Why are you silent?

Arjun- What to say Bonnie? I am speechless seeing your doltishness.

Bonnie- doltishness?

Arjun- Yes. Now, listen carefully Bonnie, I am committed & I am very serious about my relation with her. So, for you, It's a NO from my side.
