Khushi and Aman looked at Arnav shockingly. SECRET AGENT? Arnav stood smiling.

"Do you remember, we talked about bringing a secret agent into this case?" the commissioner asked.

"Yes, sir. I do..."

"You didn't want the Indian agent to get into this case"

"Yes, sir... you said you would bring an agent from a foreign country"

"He is the one" The commissioner smiled.

"That means, are not you a professor?"

"I'm an honorary professor at Scotland University," Arnav said.

"Means?"

"I would share my experiences with the criminology students in the cases I handle and clear their doubts"

"That means, you are not a professional professor..."

"No..."

"By the way, thank you for your help, ASR. We would have struggled with the case"

"That's ok, sir. I had a purpose to visit India. That's why I accepted the case" Arnav said looking at Khushi.

"He came to India to get married to his love, sir," Aman said.

"Oh... nice"

"Yes, sir... he is a talented agent but hasn't confessed his love for seven years" Aman chuckled and Arnav rolled his eyes.

"Is it?"

"It's because of his brother, Sir. he didn't want me to face problems because of him" Khushi took a stand for Arnav. That made Arnav smile.

"You are invited to our wedding, sir," Khushi said.

"Khushi, Sir the one who helped me to clear lawful problems of our wedding" Arnav said.

Amana and Khushi looked at the commissioner surprisingly.

"Arnav, what a great help you have done to me. what I did for you is a simple help" The commissioner said.

"Thank you so much, sir..."

"Welcome ASR. You can ask me for any help, any time"

"Sure, sir... we are leaving" Arnav extended his hand towards the commissioner.

They shook hands.

Arnav came out of his cabin with Khushi and Aman. They were gazing at him.

"I don't know you are so cunning, ASR"

"Why?" he chuckled.

"How casually do you play your cards without spilling beans?"

"That's my profession... that's what I paid a high salary. Then how would I spill beans?" Arnav smiled.

"He didn't even tell me about it." Khushi pouted.

"It's because he knew secrets would not stay in girls' hearts" Aman laughed.

Khushi dropped her jaw and Arnav laughed.

"I'm going to arrange a party for you, ASR"

"What about Akash and Payal's wedding?"

"You came here to attend their wedding but your wedding date is fixed before theirs. Their wedding is after yours" Aman laughed.

Arnav looked at Khushi who bit the tip of her tongue.

That was when Arnav got a call from the government doctor. He attended the call.

"Yes, Doctor?"

"Mr. Raizada, your brother's post-mortem is over. You can take his body"

"No, Doctor, I would like to donate his organs and body to the medical college. Please proceed with the formalities"

"Thank you so much, Mr. Raizada"

"Welcome doctor" Arnav disconnected the call and looked at Aman and Khushi.

"Are not you going to do his final rituals?" Khushi asked.

"I will do it but I don't think his body is needed. He never helped anyone when he was alive. But now, he is going to help a few people with his organs. At least now, let him help others"

"By the way, ASR, Khushi's father was not fine with the marriage just because you were involved in the case. What will he do if he gets to know about your completely dangerous profession?"

Arnav looked at Khushi, biting his inner cheek.

"Don't tell him about it. According to him, Arnav is a criminology professor at Scotland university. Just maintain the lie" Khushi said.

"Khushi, how do you think we can maintain the lie? After all, he is my father-in-law"

"We are not going to be in India but in Scotland. He will hardly come to Scotland. Then what's the problem with lying to him? I don't think, he must know the truth. He will not understand. More than that, the Secret agent must be a secret!"

"Wow... Khushi, you are thinking like a qualified secret agent's wife" Aman extended his hand towards her for a shake.

Khushi shook hands with him giggling.

"Ok, guys... you carry on. I have some work to complete. I will meet you later" Aman said.

"Ok, you just carry on"

Aman left the place.

Khushi looked at Arnav, keeping her hands on her hips. Arnav controlled his smile.

"You are so mean; you know"

"I know... let's go"

"Where?"

"Somewhere else..."

"Let's go to Aman's place. Let me prepare something for you"

"Mmm..."

Khushi gave her scooter key to Arnav.

"You ride"

"Are you sure?"

"Mmm..."

Khushi started the scooter. Arnav sat behind her, keeping his chin on her shoulder. Khushi smilingly rode the scooter.

They reached Aman's place. Khushi was supposed to go to the kitchen, but Arnav stopped her and pulled her towards him.

"Are not you scared?"

"Why?"

"It's because I'm a secret agent...it's a dangerous field. Always risk..."

"Everything is risk in this life...! When we walk on the road, ride the bike, or travel in the car... everything is at risk... this is your passion. Our career should be up to our interest. Do it..."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. I'm not scared..."

"But, I'm..."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm not going to continue as a secret agent."

"Whaaat?"

"Yes. I'm going to resign the job"

Khushi looked at him perplexed.

"I don't want to put your life in danger Khushi. Agent's life is very risky. It will not stop with me... it will affect you and our kids. I would like to give you a peaceful life. It will not happen until I'm a secret agent"

"It doesn't mean you should give up on your passion, Arnav. I feel guilty if you do that for me"

"Instead of feeling guilty, you should feel proud about it. My passion is not more important than you. You are the most important person in my life, Khushi. I have been alone in my life. I lost my parents in my childhood. My Nani was always bothered about Aarav. And you know about my brother. After coming to India only I started experiencing something pleasant because of you. I want my life to be the same with my wife... with my family... kids..."

"I don't know you are so emotional"

"We will go to Scotland if you want. Or else, we will sit down in India"

"What will you do settling down in India?"

"I already applied to a few universities. I will surely get a job. And I can continue at Scotland university too. I'm leaving it to you. Chose what you want"

"Do you want me to choose your career?"

"Yes, because it's you who is going to live with me. you are equally responsible in my life. So, decide what you want"

Khushi was stunned. She knew Arnav loved her so much but she didn't know, he would even sacrifice his career for her.

"No, Arnav... Whatever it is. I will be with you. Choose what you want. I will not have a problem and I will adjust to your profession"

Arnav was about to say something, but Khushi stopped him and said,

"I feel so proud to be your life partner, Arnav. I will never make you regret anything. Do what you like" She hugged him smilingly.

Arnav reciprocated to her feeling blessed. He was going to marry the girl he loved. He was going to do what he liked. What else a man would need in his life? He kissed her hair delightedly.

The END.
