Samaira winced in pain as Arjun applied medicine on her wounds. Arjun softly caressed her forehead. "Sshh Samaira. I know it's aching but I need to apply this medicine on your wounds & it's almost done. You will soon become absolutely fine"
Samaira nodded her head & Arjun again concentrated on applying medicine & to put new dressing on the wounds. Samaira looked in his eyes & she could see the hurt in his eyes as he is feeling her pain. Arjun pecked on her cheeks & lie down beside her.
Samaira- So, from tomorrow you are joining your duty. Only one day leave for me!
Arjun- Samaira don't be upset dear. Please try to understand. I am in the middle of a mission plus I am the team leader. I can't ignore my duty. My one mistake & irresponsibility can affect many.
Samaira- Hmm.
Arjun- But you will definitely not going to stay alone. Remember the day, I revealed my real identity to you & an lady was with you when You were alone trying to help you, Her name is Gitika & she is an officer of my team & she will be with you all the time.
Samaira- But I will miss you Arjun.
Arjun- Samaira.....
Samaira- No need of any explanation. I know you are not going to extend your leave. So, leave the matter.
Arjun remained silent.
Samaira- By the way, how many female officers do you have in your team? (with mischief in her voice)
Arjun (winked)- jealous??
Samaira- of course not. No one will tolerate your temper & attitude, except me.
Arjun- & they also knows I am only Your's.
Samaira- what happened between you & Neil?
Arjun- With the swiftness, you are changing topic, I am getting confused Samaira.
Samaira- I am not joking Arjun. I noticed both of your behavior towards each other.
Neil came in late evening when Arjun was preparing dinner. Hearing the door bell, Arjun opened the door. Neil clearly ignored him & came inside. He put the tiffin carrier on dining table & went to meet Samaira. Arjun only for once entered in the room when Neil & Samaira was talking. He asked for tea but Neil declined the offer. Then Neil said that His mom sent food for both of them. Arjun smiled & said Thank Prerna Aunty on behalf of him & Samaira & left the room. After talking with Samaira, Neil too left after some time without saying anything to Arjun.
Arjun sighed as He remembered the incident.
Arjun- Relax Samaira. Nothing serious.
Samaira- I am not going to poke my nose as both of you are not sharing what happened. But you both are mature enough to handle. Anyway, I took 4 day's leave on medical ground & I feel that's enough but I will do project works from home & don't you dare to object.
Arjun- As you wish but don't ignore your health.
Samaira- & you take care of yourself.
Arjun smiled. "Okay, now sleep. You need rest."
In morning, Arjun was giving instructions to Gitika. Samaira was sitting on the sofa. She met with this lady before but at that time she was so devastated that she not even talked with her.
Arjun- Samaira listen, Gitika will be with you all the time. If there is any problem, say to her.
Samaira- Can't I directly call you?
