For some of my readers who asked me to write a Raesha story, this is for them

Hope I managed to do justice to such a couple.

He left Just like that! Not even one last look! Not even one last word! Nothing, simply
nothing
Was everything that I read in his eyes fake? Didnt he ever love me?
Aisha had just scribbled in her personal diary. She closed it, wiped one tear from her cheek, and
then leant on her bed. She stared at the ceiling for a very long time, till finally sleep claimed her
tired eyes. She woke up next morning sharp at 5 oclock. She went to do some jogging, had her
breakfast and left promptly for office. Since she was a child, she had been a punctual person.
Even now she did everything to reach her office before time.
Though she had to admit that her heart was no longer in going early to the office. But thankfully
she had made some very good friends, and they somehow helped her in dealing with her inner
turmoil.
She had just entered her office, when she heard some noises and loud voices in Arjun office. She
rushed there with her gun out, expecting the worst. She entered Arjuns office with her gun
pointing in front when her eyes fell on the person she had been dying to see since some weeks
now.
He was back, he was finally back! her heart said to her. She was completely lost in trying to
memorize him in her eyes and her mind, when her dreams were broken by loud voices.
How dare you do something like that? Arjun was saying.
I had to do it! And now we have enough proof to show that Sikander does exist! Rathore added
back angrily.
But you shouldnt have risked your life for such information; Im the one who should have
gone! Arjun was persisting.
Who are you to tell me what I can or cant do! Rathore exclaimed angrily, Besides Roshni was
also my best friend! So it was also my duty!
Arjun swore and stormed out of the office. Rathore raised his hand on his hair, trying to calm
himself. Belatedly he realized that someone had assisted to their fights. He raised his eyes
towards Aisha, and could see shock and anger in them.
He took a deep breath and approached Aisha slowly. He raised his hand to put on her shoulder,
but she threw it away and marched away leaving him alone with his thoughts and pain.

Aisha rushed to the washroom while tears were streaming down her cheeks. She was a strong
lady, she didnt want anyone to see her like this. Once there, she washed her face with cold
water, and when she thought she could face the outside world, she got out from there.
What she hadnt realized was that Rathore could and would be waiting for her outside. As soon
as she was out, he grabbed her hand and pulled her to his office.
She could easily have made released herself, but that would mean creating a scene, which she
didnt want to. She let herself be led to his office, and once inside Rathore led her to a couch,
and made her sit on it.
He knelt down on his knees infront of her, blocking all means of escape.
He lifted his hand, and slowly touched her cheeks and her swollen eyes.
Kyun Aisha? Why are you crying? Rathore asked, watching her expressions very closely. He
looked at the lady sitting in front of him, he hadnt realized when but gradually she had taken
over his heart. Maybe it started that day in the bus, when he realized that she could have been
killed if the bomb hadnt been diffused, and he hadnt ordered her off the bus. Or did it all start in
that jewelers shop, when he had been putting a necklace on her. He had completely forgotten
about the case, when he had been gazing in her eyes. He knew that instant that Aisha had come
to mean a lot in his life. And the final axe was when she had rushed off to warn the wife in that
scam case. He had never felt so much worried for someone in his life. He was now sure that he
had fallen irrevocably in love with this wonderful lady.
But still unaware of her feelings, he had decided to let things be. But with luck, when Chaya
came and was flirting with him, he could see something in Aishas eyes. Though it was very
difficult, because Aisha is a very private person, and hid all her feelings from everyone. But he
was sure that she loved him. But just when he would have proposed her, things went haywire.
They had a lead on Sikander, and since he still didnt trust Arjuns impulsiveness and anger, he
had to just disappear without telling much to anyone. He only knew how he passed these few
weeks away from his team, away from his heart. But he owed it to Roshni, and maybe to his lost
friend Arjun, to gather enough evidence of Sikanders existence. And finally after days of hard
work, he had managed to prove in front of all his seniors that Sikander did exist, and that Arjun
wasnt crazy at all.
With all these information he had finally returned, and he had to confess and apologise to Arjun.
He had been exactly that when Arjun blasted him for taking such risks.

And now staring at his lady love, he knew that another apology was needed. But in his heart he
was hoping that maybe, just maybe, she would understand and forgive him without giving much
justifications. He was hoping that she would trust him. So he waited for her to say something,
anything at all, but when she kept mum and stared at him angrily, he knew that all were wishful
thinking on his part. Though he had fallen in love with Aisha for her great maturity, but she was
also one hard and tough lady cop. She wouldnt let anyone walk on her, and especially not when
she was angry.
He gulped down his saliva and prepared for his speech. He had no other choice than pacify the
one holding his heart. He couldnt stay away from her anymore now
