it is drizzling. under a shade two people on motorbike are trying to kick it start. 

'i had told you this was a bad idea.'

rajeev turns to look at her. she was the one who herself had persuaded him to bring the bike. 

'accha. dhoom ki shooting bhi mujhe hi karni thi. cab ki jagah bike se spotting ke liye mujhe hi jana tha.'

serri giggles.

'you are so cute you know. '

'I know. jab 3rd grade me tha to ek senior ne gal pr kiss kar liya tha, tab se hi pata he mujhe apni shaktiyo ke bare me.'

'ohh really? matlab bachpan se hi tharaki ho.'

'ha bhai hu tharaki. main to paida hi isiliye huya tha taki tharaki ban saku. army was the secondary choice. first choice was sex.'

both laugh. after a while when the bike doesn't start its rajeev who drags it to nearby mechanic's shop and drops it there.

'pay the bill, madam.'

serri stares at him.

'dekho. i am a very good man. i believe in helping others but kya he na i have two hands but only one bank account. to you can see i can use my hands frequently but not my bank account.'

serri pays mechanic and they both go out. in last few meets which are not so much they have become really good friends. rajeev's jovial nature and serri's bindas attitude helped them gelling in. 

'rajeev, wapas report kitne baje karna he?' serri asks him while they jogs in slight rain pouring on their shoulders.

'aap kahe to na jaye. bas ek bar kah kar to dekho, aapke liye to hum kuch bhi kar sakte he.'

'kaha se laate ho aise cheap dialogues? bilkul hi sadakchhap tha.'

'serri. are you even a girl? how can you be immune to my charm?'

'because i am engaged to be married, man!'

'ohh yes. i forgot.' rajeev winks at her which she returns with a small laugh. 

'accha on a serious note,if you are free we could dine together.' rajeev stops hearing her and takes a good look. they barely dine together. and if they do, its all about lack of time and food on his account.

'you have something to talk about?' 

'hmm.'

'ok.' rajeev leaves for her hotel which is not at great distance from where they are .

in hotel, they both take bath and freshen up for dinner serri had ordered. rajeev in his bathrobe is sitting on sofa holding some magazine. serri is making some coffee for both of them. he shows her a picture from magazine.

'this is how i like girls.'

'rajeev. she is  wearing nothing.'

'ha to maja usi me he. no extra work.' and he laughs. 

serri comes and sits across him holding two mugs of coffee. she gives him one and has one herself. after two sips she puts her mug down.

'i am not so sure about my wedding. saket is great but i think i need more time.'

rajeev listens with a smile on his lips.

'lagta he mera jaadu chal gya. maine bola hi tha you cant resist me.'

'rajeev shut up. i am serious. 

i think i want to spend some more time with me in this line. doing some more operations, some more risks. i am not at all satisfied with my record. but being with someone is different than going out and risking your life. i mean if i get married at this point i might as well give up my field work. i will never want saket to stress about me every moment. what do you think?'

'sserri. this is your life. your decision. you know better what you want. i can only support you as a friend. if you need help i can do that but i can not tell you what to do with saket because i haven't met saket yet. i dont know him the way i know you.'

'rajeev, i dont want to step down right now. right now i can not do desk job. i can not.'

'if you want this then why you are so tensed about it?' 

'how will he react when he gets to know that i am choosing my career over him?'

'serri. everybody has priorities. you have set them straight now. if he doesn't understand you he can not expect same from you. talk to him. tell him about it. he will understand if you give him a wider picture. men do have ego. if you hit him with bomb of postponing marriage, he'll never understand you. try with light shock.'

serri is looking at him without blinking her eyes.

'i never thought you'd be this much understanding. i mean are you even rajeev?'

'ab tum dil tod rahi ho yaar. you are doubting my intellect. maine tumhe ye adhikar nahi diya..miss saraswati gill.'

'I hATE YOU RAJEEV!' rajeev laughs seeing her irritated over her real name. this is the fun part of their relation. he knows she is a good at heart. she also knows how kind hearted he is. they have developed a relation where they both sit and talk about their lives. serri is perhaps her only best friend right now. with a busy life and dynamic work schedule he cant afford too many friends but right now he seems to have one. serri and he have been having some night outs lately. talking, doing things. he is a happy go lucky guy who cant be shut in a room forever. moreover at base his fellow officers give him weird looks. they pretend as if he were a ghost not a normal human being. 

----------------------------------------------------------------

'are you up, rajeev?' they both fell asleep last night. after coffee and a heavy taalk his mind got tired. 

'no. i am down. let me sleep serri. i have only three more hours to go.'

'kyu? uske bad your time'll stop?'

'yar please. rat ke 3 baje aise wahiyat aur ghatiya jokes mat maro. dont kill me with your shitty jokes.'

'come one rajeev. utho na yaar. itna kaun sota he?'

'normal man sleeps for six hours per day. mere to abhi char bhi nahi huye.' he is talking with his eyes closed. serri pinches his sides.

'serri. i'll throw you outside.'

'rajeev. please get up na yar. i just read my horoscope. it says i'll be getting multiple orgasms today.'

he at once opens his eyes. 

'read mine too. how many i'll be getting?'

she pretends to look into her phone.

'yaha likha he ki agar abhi nahi uthe to ek bhi nahi.'

'hmm. i believe in horoscope very much. come on now. shubh kam me ab der nahi karni chahiye.' both laughs and fuses their lips together.

his hands roaming on her body. touching her holding her. her hands reach up and get entangled in his hair. slightly pulling on his hair she climbs into his lap. tilting her head side she lets her lips suck his unusually soft ones. his tongue occasionally touches her lower lip. soon her lower lip is caged between his both lips. while his left hand goes inside her loose shirt. gripping her flesh and squeezing it. then he leaves her lips and goes down her throat. kissing her pulse biting her skin lightly. she moans in pleasure. he kisses her cleavage and then goes down to suck her nipple. he keeps on proving to her that her theory of army men being off in bed was very wrong. this guy is freak under sheets. he just pulls her down in whirlpool of pleasure and ecstasy. her head goes back when he bites her little hard. a small yelp escapes her lips. his tongue later goes into her belly button. his hands still busy with her mounds. while only thing she can do is hold his hair. she pulls him up and kisses him hard. her tongue going in and letting him feel her nether part again. her hand slips down to his manhood and slightly strokes it making him groan. soon she is down on him. giving him the best of his morning. he returns the favor but with more intensity. she could count her orgasm even when he is not doing it with his part. he pushes her down on mattress and goes in from behind. his one hand on her back while other holding headboard for support. 

when he falls aside he hears her smiling hard. he laughs when she doesn't get up to cover herself. he covers himself but soon she shares his comforter.

both are silent for sometime. he picks his phone and looks at watch. around four in morning. his mind going to base. he has to report at eight hundred hours. there is still time. and suddenly there is a memory from past. the picture of new captain breaking into his room. what was her name again? 

naina...Naina ah singh..

she is strange but different. her eyes so big and talkative unlike her. the way she looks at him..and not only this she keeps on stealing glances at him when he is not looking. she never tries to talk with him. she just stares at him with blank eyes. something inside her perhaps dulls the moment she spots him. and then one day she breaks into her room!

this is so weird. he has become used to strange looks of his fellow officers at mount abu but this officer is diffrent.

he pokes serri.

'do you think someone can stalk me? or may be plan my murder?'

'rajeev, are you still high on orgasm?'

'come on, tell me. when will you do things like staring, breaking into someone' room and digging into someone' background? i mean if it might imply that you are obssessed or something else?'

serri gets up and sits by bed.

'what is going on with you?'

he takes a deep breath. 

'i dont know. but since the moment i am transferred at mount abu, some of my fellow officers give me weird looks. earlier i thought they might be taking me for someone else. i ignored but this new lady officer...she ...she passed out after meeting me for first time. not only this, she behaves strange around me. she gives me the most weird looks. she many times called me sir. not as a senior. we are at same rank. and you know the weirdest part is she never tries to talk with me. she just stares and fumbles and goes away. 

and you know i one day got to know she had broken into my room. i saw her entering into my room. she picked on my lock. not only this she did a background check on me.'

'do you know her?'

'i have never seen her my whole life before.'

'she must be having her reasons.'

'i dont know. but her eyes are so full of pain and unsaid emotions. i cant tell you how bewitching her eyes are! when she looks at me i always feel she has these many questions but she doesn't even utter a single word. she wants to know me but at the same time she is so aloof. i don't understand her. she is different...very different. i am just curious. i want to know why she is behaving like this. she is mystery to me. she just plays with my brain. every night. every day.'

'hmm. do you want to talk her about her strange behavior?'

'i dont know. you tell me. i can not understand her actions.'

serri takes a pause.

'rajeev. she surely has her reasons. but breaking into your room means she has a secret. and its her place to disclose that. but you can do a thing. do a background check on her yourself. find something about her. try to understand her reasons. but i think you should talk with her first. small talk. may be something related with work. build up a conversation. make her comfortable around you. then she might tell you why she behaves so strange around you.'

'hmm. sahi kah rahi ho. i need be a gentleman around her.

dang! this is so difficult.'

serri laughs..

'i must say....i have never seen you so curious about a girl before. what is with you?'

rajeev stares into nothing..

'i myself dont know serri. i have no idea myself but i know this girl just plays with my brain. she messes up my normal functioning brain with her actions..'

'take care...you might just fall in love with her.'

'shut up serri.'

He gave her a head flick
Earning some strong punches in return
