Abhishek opened his eyes as he heard the door opening, "it's me" Sameeksha said when she saw him getting scared.

"I'm really sorry...yeh...nhi hona chahiye tha" Sameeksha said lowering her lashes, he was staring at her, as if she was another person.

"Anyways...doctors ne kya kaha?" She asked walking to him, "Abhishek?" Sha snapped her fingers infront of his face when he didn't reply.

"Umm...woh...aaj raat yaha rukna hai" He replied.

"Alright" She said sitting on the couch, "kucch khaya?" She asked, he nodded.

"Araam se so jao, me yehi hu" She smiled, "aap raatko yehi rukengi?" He asked, she nodded.

Due to medication, Abhishek fell asleep quickly, while Sameeksha stayed up another hour or so.

She did planning for the next morning as well as the upcoming days.

*******

Sameeksha woke up when she heard the door opening. "Ma'am hame Mr Abhishek ka ECG karna hoga, aap please bahar jaengi?" The doctor asked, she nodded and stood up.

Abhishek woke up and saw Sameeksha leaving, suddenly she stopped.

"Doctor" She said turning, "yes?" He replied.

"ECG ka full form kya hota hai?" She asked looking in his eyes, he cleared his throat.

All of a sudden he took an injection out of his pocket and was about to inject Abhishek when she hit him on the head.

The next moment, the doctor was laying on the ground.

"Fu..." He said but stopped. Sameeksha called Sumedh, "jaldi hospital aaja, problem ho geyi hai" She said and hung up.

"Tum mere saath hi safe ho" She said looking at Abhishek. "Aap to sachme boht pohonchi hui cheez nikli...mujhe to laga tha..." He said, "...ke yeh sab stars rishwat ke hai?" Sameeksha said touching the stars on her uniform.

He lowered his lashes, "it's not your fault Mister" She said, "ab khud uthoge ya godh me uthau?" She asked.

"Nhi...godh me nhi...bas haath de dijiye" He said.

Sumedh came, "Jai Hind Ma'am!" He saluted her, "isko uthao aur andar karo. Me aake interrogate karungi" She said pointing at the fake doctor laying on the floor.

She made Abhishek stand up, "shoulder pe haath rakho" She said, he place his left hand on her right shoulder.

"Arey yaar!" She said irritated.

"Left shoulder pe" She said, he wrapped his arm around her shoulder, she held his left hand with her left hand.

"Chalo ab" She said, he nodded and started walking.

"I don't mind you calling me tum" She said as they reached the jeep. He smiled.

"Manjot theek hai?" He asked, "haan, mere ghar par hai" She said turning the engine on.

*******

Kabir went to Bandana, "Mumma me aaj Papa ke dost ke saath so jau?" He asked, she looked at him.

"Kis khushi me?" She asked, "please Mumma" He said making a puppy face, "accha theek hai. Lekin usko zada tang mat karna" She said. He nodded and left.

He reached Manjot's room and jumped on the bed, "usne haan bol dia??" Manjot asked surprised, Kabir chuckled and nodded.

"Chal aaja fir, kahani sunata hu" Manjot said making Kabir sit on his lap.

He was narrrating a random story he made, when he realized that Kabir was already sleeping.

He smiled and make him lay on the bed.

*******

The next morning, everyone was sitting at the dining table for breakfast.

"Kya baat hai Kabir? Boht khush lag rahe ho?" Sameeksha asked, "Papa ke dost ne kal raat kahani sunai" He said, "accha? Konsi kahani?" She asked looking at Manjot.

"Vahi jisme fox aur cheetah ki race hoti hai, fox chalaak hoti hai to short cut le leti hai. Cheetah fast hota hai, iss lie woh jeet jaata hai" Kabir said confusing everyone.

"To...moral kya tha?" Bandana asked, "yehi ki body ko train karoge to fast bhaag sakte ho aur jeet sakte ho, dimaag ko train karoge to koi fayida nhi" Kabir said.

"What the fuck!?" Abhishek said, "woh kya hota hai?" Kabir asked, Sameeksha glared at Abhishek, he lowered his lashes.

"Tumhe yeh kahani kisne sunai?" Bandana asked Manjot, "mene khud banai" He said proudly, "laga hi tha" She said rolling her eyes.

"Iske jesa dimaag ho jaega tumhara agar do chaar kahania aur sun li" Bandana said to Kabir, Manjot gritted his teeth.

"Haan, tum mere pass so jaya karo" Abhishek said, "rehne do. Hame apne bacche nhi bigaadne" Sameeksha said.

Kabir took a bite from the paratha Bandana made, "kitna teekha hai" Manjot and Kabir said together.

"Zada nakhre mat karo, chup chaap khao" Bandana said, "jesi theeki khud hai, vese hi parathe bana die" Manjot said in a low voice, "kya kaha?" Bandana said pointing a knife at him.

Abhishek nudged Sameeksha, she looked at him, "vese mujhe theeki cheeze pasand hai" He said smirking.

"To me kya karu?" She asked, he made a face, "kucch nhi" He said.

"Paani do na" Abhishek said, "kyu? Tumne to kaha tha theeki cheeze pasand hai" Sameeksha said, "mirchi lag geyi Sameeksha, paani do jaldi" He said trying to stay calm.

"Na. Ab tum ese hi khao. Paani end me milega" She said. "For fuck's sake!" Abhishek stood up and grabbed the glass of water.

Sameeksha chuckled, he gulped it in one go.

"I hate you" He said, "darwaza waha hai, nikal sakte ho" She said. "Tum meri majboori ka faida utha rhi ho?" He asked. "Tumhara kya faida uthau me?" She asked making a face.

"Ahem, faida uthane jesa boht kucch hai mujhme" He smirked. Sameeksha looked away to hide blush, "Kabir chalo tumhe school drop kardu" She said.
