Back to Home
...
"Abhijeet," she called him softly as she stopped the car in front of her house. He was sleeping peacefully on passenger seat.
He woke up with that one soft call as if he wasn't sleeping at all.
"Huh?" He rubbed his eyes.
"I am home." Tarika said, with a smile.
"Oh." He looked around. "Thanks."
"Why thanks?" She chuckled.
"You let me sleep."
"It's nothing. What you have done for me last night..."
"Tarika, don't think about it so much."
"Yeah... But still, I am not sure what I would have done if you hadn't showed up."
"You would have deal with it yourself. I know you could."
Tarika smiled, reciprocating him.
"Come, let me walk you to the door." Abhijeet said and got down followed by Tarika.
They were standing in front of the door.
"You can go." Tarika said to Abhijeet. "And take my car."
"Your friend must be freaking out. Let me calm her down." Abhijeet said with a tinge of tease in his voice.
"She's fine I guess. You don't have to worry." Tarika insisted. In reality she didn't want him to see Vivek there. She was uncomfortable thinking how would Abhijeet take that.
Abhijeet looked at her, suspiciously. But nodded.
"Okay. See you at Bureau then."
Tarika nodded.
Abhijeet walked away from her and almost reached near his car when Tarika called him from behind.
"Abhijeet."
He stopped and turned around to see Tarika walking towards him. He gave her a questioning look. Tarika smiled and took off his coat. She then forwarded it to him.
"Thanks."
Abhijeet took his coat with a smile broader than any smiles Tarika had witnessed till date. It was that simple, genuine and almost blushing type smile.
"You're welcomed."
Both of them stood there trying to process what should be there next move. Tarika didn't want him to say bye right away. But she didn't know what to talk more. She looked here and there.
"Bye." Abhijeet said.
"Bye." It was time to say bye finally.
Abhijeet smiled and got inside the car. Tarika slapped her head lightly as Abhijeet drove away giving her another smile.
Tarika opened the door with her keys and entered inside. There, Vivek was sleeping on couch. She didn't find Tasha there.
