He is assigned in the logistics department for a week
And is going through the database ....
When he felt a presence hovering behind him...

He turned to see her
With a hesitation and anxious face ...

"Can we talk"
She suggested

And he was surprised for sure with her approaching him for the first time....

"Of course we can."
He turned his chair towards her....

He can see her fidgeting fingers and gaze never setting on one thing....

"I don't know how to start
I just wana say sorry for my behaviour around you all these months.
No matter whatever the reasons were .... They were mine and I shouldn't have creep you out ...
I am trying for a transfer but ....it's taking a while .... But I will be gone soon and ......
That's it....."
She is about to turn when

"Woah woah woah......
Hold on for a sec....."

He got up from his seat...... Offering her a chair adjacent to him ..... Pointing her to sit.....
She wasn't sure about it but sat anyway.....

He took his seat back next to her

"I never meant to enter your personal space
It's just that you are hard to ignore...."
He said honestly....

And she kept looking at him with longing.....

"Although
When you look at me like that....."
He said gesturing towards her vision and she got conscious again....
It's hard to ..... Well you know...."

He tried to light the air but got serious the next sec as he saw tears falling nonchalantly down her face.

"Hey hey hey
Plz don't mind me
Humour mera default setting hai...."
He said and she wiped them off immediately

"This might be a joke for you.....
But for me
It's a hell I live every day.....

You share his face.....
Untill now I would have given up everything just to b able to look at this face.
But I know you are not him....
And it's hard ..... It's so hard....

So please don't try to solve this out....
Just stay away from me.....
Please......"

She said and left immediately.

And he felt like going after her but he held back.

______________

Every night she sleep over the thought of his love for her and how it doomed him.....
It's hard to breathe
It's hard to live with his ghost......

This dark melancholy is eating her slowly
Day by day
She is a little more dead than yesterday

She is lost in that watch again in her hand
The only souvenir she ever received from him
The last momento.....
This watch giver her his feel..... His touch his esscene.....

Ohhh how she burns for him
If only she can go back in time and change things ...
She suddenly lost all her appetite
This happens a lot with her .....
She gets numb for time being , and then the pain surface again with more intensity

And now this new challenge
She is assigned with captain Rajeev Singh....
Its an undercover operation.... They have to disguise as devotees and spy on a religious man who is supposedly a wanted millitant...

"This is your identity
"Rehana Khan

She noded a yes..

And your identity will be Imran Javed ....
You will be the driver.....
Backstory of you two getting employed there has been taken care of.....

His eyes got wide and he he so wanted to look at her face..... Which he was sure of shocked and denial....

But to his surprise she was calm and normal
As if it's not a big deal
