A New Journey

Dinning Together

.'' A New Journey''

….

Dinning with the arrogant! Seriously! Tasha was utterly annoyed and was also taken aback when she found herself sitting opposite to the sharp officer of Mumbai CID at restaurant. Her best friend was very proud of her work and was enjoying her senior's company very well. She looked at her side and indeed found her roommate smiling stupidly. She rolled her eyes and looked away, hoping for the lunch to be finished quickly. Where the hell was the waiter?

''Order sir?'' A waiter came to take their order.

''Ladies first,'' said Abhijeet smiling at Tarika.

Tasha narrowed her eyes at her senior. Did he just flirt with the beautiful forensic expert? She felt offended. Sighing deeply she looked away not wanting to witness some more smiles, from her friend this time.

''It's okay sir. You order first. I will check the menu by then,'' Tarika replied.

''Tasha, you?'' He shifted his attention to Tasha.

''After you sir.'' She smiled sarcastically.

''Okay.'' Abhijeet shrugged and looked at the menu. ''I will take package number 32- fried rice, chicken masala and salads.''

''Sure sir. Drink?''

''Water.''

''Ma'm your order,'' the waiter asked Tarika.

''Hmm.. one thai soup and one quarter grill chicken.''

''Okay ma'm.'' The waiter wrote down.

Abhijeet felt like he shouldn't have jumped into the rice option. He felt a little uncomfortable. Bad idea. He shouldn't have come with girls here.

''Fried rice with mutton achari,'' Tasha ordered.

Abhijeet took a breath of relief. At least one of them was taking rice.

''Don't mind her. She's a patient of anorexia nervosa. Diet freak,'' said Tasha to Abhijeet, not looking at Tarika at all.

''What do you mean?'' Tarika demanded to know.

''You don't know the meaning of the term? Google it.''

''I didn't mean that. You know-''

''What will you two take in drinks?'' Abhijeet interrupted the girls.

''Oh plain water. For both of us.'' Tarika told the waiter and he left.

Tariak threw Tasha an angry glance.

''Everybody should be conscious about their health,'' Abhijeet commented.

''She's concern about her figure,'' Tasha taunted.

Tarika stumped Tasha's foot. Abhijeet didn't know how to response to the conversion so he decided to change the topic.

''What do your parents do?'' He asked both of them.

Tarika and Tasha started to tell him about their family till the food arrived. During food they discussed about some current cases and finished their lunch.

After lunch Tasha accompanied Abhijeet to field for a case. Abhijeet gave her the privilege to interrogate some of the suspect and by his expression she could tell he's impressed with her. Tasha couldn't help but smirked at her inner self. Finally at one point the accused was identified. She's a girl. And when they chased her she ran upstairs to the terrace. Standing on the railing she threatened to jump down the building.

''Listen, we are not going to let you escape. So, it's better you surrender yourself.'' Abhijeet kept explaining to the girl but she was stubborn.

''Sir, I think she's going to jump,'' Tasha was little panic.
