"Virat Sir!! Wait" Sai ran to the stairs.

"Don't tell me you are planning to come with me?" She loudly asked

"Go to sleep. It's late" Virat replied and ran down fast

Virat came back to the police station. He checked his watch, it was 10! He quickly dialed every possible number to get an emergency leave. Then asked Mohit to pack a pair of clothes in a backpack and deliver it to him in the police station

"Where are you going?" Mohit asked while giving his bag to him

"Gadchiroli. Don't tell anyone at home" he warned

"But why?"

"I have some important work" he excused

"When will you be back?" Mohit asked

"In a day or two" he replied by checking his car's tires.

"Are you going with someone?" Mohit doubted

"With Sai" he said

"Sai?? How did this happen?"

"Nothing happened! I am just accompanying her for her safety" he said by cleaning the windshield of his car.

"And she allowed you to?" Mohit shockingly said

"Sort off" he replied with a slight smile

"Dada, you know what you are doing right?" Mohit said

"What do you mean?"

"I mean where you are going?" Mohit asked. He could see change of feelings with a spark of happines on Virat's face. He didn't want his elder brother to step up to something which had a doubtful future. But the smile on his face wasn't letting him to directly stop him from diving into something beautiful but full of thorns.

"Yes, Gadchiroli" he confusingly said unaware of the real meaning behind his question

"Hmm. Take care of yourself. Just be back soon" Mohit said and left, leaving Virat ensuring the wellness of his car.

The anxoisness in Sai's mind woke her up before her alarm. She made tea for herself to freshen up her mind then went on to stuff her bag with some fruits and water bottle.

She lit diya on her Aaba's photo and folded her hands. Then prayed to help her in maintaining her composure while revisiting the place they together lived.

Her prayers were interrupted by the doorbell. She should get habitual to hear door bell at such odd hours but she wasn't yet. But this time she didn't panicked like last night. Still, she took water bottle to be on a safer side.

"Hi!!!!" Virat waved at her as she opened the door to him.

"Aap (You)???"

"Why are you holding your bottle like an attacking weapon. I only pressed the door bell once" He acted innocent

"Aap yaha kya kar rahe hai? (What are you doing here?)" she again

"Aap yaha iss wakt kya rahe hai (What are you doing at this time?) Pura bolo (You forgot to add 'At this time')" he mimicked her. She pouted angrily at him.

"Aren't you getting late? You said you have to leave at 5.15?" He added fuel to the fire

"Why are you here?" she repeated

"You look smart but you aren't! I am standing here at this time. Isn't it enough to guess that I am accompanying you?" He cleared

"You don't need come along. I told you yesterday as well. I can manage on my own" she stiffly said
