Mirziya

Headquarters...
The clock was showing 2am when Bandana's phone rang. She looked at her left, Sameeksha was sleeping peacefully. She immediately picked up the call.

"Officer Bandana, ATS" She said in a a sleepy voice. "2 bje bhi ATS!?" Rohit asked himself. "Hi Bandana" He said. "Hello, location kya hai aapki? Aur konsa crime hua hai?" She asked. "Crime? Well...chori hui hai" He replied with a smile. "I'm sorry par ham robbery ka nhi dekhte, aapko local police station me F.I.R. likhwani hogi" She said. "Vese chori kya hua hai?" She asked rubbing her eyes.

"Chori? Meri neend chori hui hai" He replied. "What nonsense!! Kon hai aap? Location kya hai aapki?" She asked sitting properly. "Rohit...Negi Nivaas se" He replied. "Rohit? Rohit. Oh!! Rohit!!!" Bandana said slapping her forehead. He chuckled.

"Sab theek hai na? Aapne itni raat ko phone kia?" She asked. "Woh neend nhi aa rhi thi" He replied. Bandana placed her hand infront of her eyes. "Khud to kal poora din soenge, aur meri neend khrab kar rhe" She thought.

"Haath theek hai tumhara?" He asked. "Haan theek hai ab" She replied. "Tumhe kaafi neend aa rhi hai, right?" He asked. "Rohit...2 baj rhe hai, subhah duty pe jaana hai, neend to aaeghi hi" She explained. "Right...okay then...so jao" He said and hoped that she will not go to sleep and will talk to him. "Okay good night" She said and disconnected the call.

The next night, at Negi nivaas...
Devaki was standing in front of the mirror. She turned left, then right and then she made a face.

"Karan..." She called him. "Yes baby?" He asked still looking at the screen of his laptop. "Me moti ho rhi hu...Rohit ki shaadi aa rhi hai upar se...mujhe...mujhe fit hona hai" She said.

He chuckled and stood up. "Devaki" He said hugging her from the back. "Tum boht acchi lagti ho...aur agar moti ho bhi rhi ho to accha hai, aage pregnancy me problem nhi hogi" He said. "Pregnancy? Abhi kaha? Itna kam time hua hai shaadi ko" She said.

"Pregnant hone ke lie mehnat krni padhti hai, par tum theri lazy, kaha mehnat krogi" He said leaving her.

"Accha? Jis din mene mehnat krli na uss din aap thakk jaoghe" She said holding his collar.

"To kro na mehnat!!!" He said suddenly, grabbing her waist. "Arey, kya...kya kar rhe ho aap?" She asked nervously. "Mehnat karvane ki koshish kar raha hu" He said. Devaki chuckled and hid her face in his shirt.

"Dialogues yaad hai?" Sumedh asked Aarushi. She nodded nervously. "Okay start karte hai" He said. She nodded again.

He turned. After a couple of seconds he signed to start. "Dekho, me tumhe nhi jaanti" Aarushi said. "To jaan lo..." Sumedh said turning, "...jaan" He called her. She chuckled. "Ja ja Mirziya, mujhe paane ke khwab to laakho dekhte hai, tujhme kya khaas hai?" Aarushi/Sahiba asked walking away.

He held her elbow and pulled her. "Mera Mirza hona hi sabse khaas baat hai Sahiba" He said looking in her eyes. "Boht dekhe tere jese" She said pushing him.

She started walking away. "Arey apna address to btati jaa!!" He said loudly. "Cut cut cut!! Sumedh it's Apna pata to btati jaa" A girl said.

"Oh..." He said embarassed. Aarushi chuckled. "Arey apna pta to btati jaa!!" He said. "Jis dil se ishq kia hai uss dil se poochle, sab bta dega" She said and left. "Hayee, do pyaar ke bol bol geyi...aaj ke lie itna hi kaafi hai Mirziya" He said to himself.
