Abhijeet can't believe what he heard, Tarika turns him down again?

How many times has he called her despite his busy schedule? He thought they could have dinner, finally catch up a little but... He remembers Pankaj jokingly telling him that Dr. Tarika has been set up to meet with another doctor by her family and that marriage talks are going on. He was panicked at first but then knew it's all a joke. But what if it's true?

He rushes to the lab a frown between his brows. He knows Dr. Salunke won't be pleased. Because there's no case. But even so... he just needed to see her.

There she is. Studying a book at her desk. Thankfully Dr. Salunkhe isn't around.

"Why aren't you answering my calls Tarika... and just this morning you turned down my invitation for coffee. Why??"

Tarika doesn't bother to look at him. This is new. Is she angry?

"Abhijeet... I'm studying. Could you just leave?"

Abhijeet is angry now.

"What..? Studying.. are you a student? Answer me Tarika."

She glares at him.

"I'm a doctor, Abhijeet. Thank you."

Abhijeet trembles. Something is so wrong. She's been avoiding him all the week.

"Tarika, look.. if something is wrong, we can talk."

"Abhijeet please. You know what is wrong. This can't go on forever. Aren't you tired consoling me? making up to me? I'm tired...." She bites her lip, looking sad, "Abhijeet... we both are so busy to keep... this going. aren't we? Let's just... keep working. I mean let's just be colleagues because work is all we love."

Abhijeet is pained. Enraged.

"What the heck Tarika? Damn, you know I love you... I love you more than my life!"

For a second Tarika smiles but then she looks sad.

"Really? That's the first time I'm hearing you say that..."

Abhijeet sighs.

"Tarika I've said it... in many other ways. You know it...you know I love my work...and I love you too. I put my work first then comes my life. But ever since you came, that changed. I could die only for my duty but now I could die to protect you..!"

Tarika laughs sadly... then looks around.

"Sir will be back here. This isn't a place for private conversation. Please leave Abhijeet. And it's over."

"It's over? Is it true then? you're marrying someone?"

Tarika shrugs.

"It's my life. Well, I haven't decided. But please, just leave Abhijeet. Just go.|

With a heavy heart, Abhijeet steps out.

Why would Tarika suddenly become so cold and heartless? He will find out for sure. What they share is special and it can't end here.
It's the first time he confessed aloud but he would like to tell her again, he could tell her a thousand times to save their relationship.
He loves her.

Short chapter💔

Why did Tarika do what she did? What will happen next?

Please stay tuned!

This story isn't going to have drama or typical plot. The prologue may seem bland but I have faith the chapters will come out to be interesting.

Abirika are one of my fav telly couples ever and they will be always special as they are part of the CID. This is an old idea which I am reposting it now 💓💫. Hopefully the next chapter will come soon

Thankyou for reading.
