MR. TASHANBAAZ Khanna.!

Avni was occupied with great deal of her attention in her desktop monitor, constantly sqeezing her eyes behind a pair of framed glasses, fanatically typing something, sitting in her cabin. Alongside her coworker Rahul was completing some file in urgency.

A long 3 months of hard or perhaps the hardest work was all that was requried for Avni to deserve this separate cabin and a well earned Authoritative post of Senior Crime Reporter in the leading channel "N-TV" along with a prime time exceptionally affluent, both in terms of numbers and popularity, Show "Sach ka Saamna" as a Lone Presenter. As much simple the name sounds as much complicated was her show and the unprecedented way with which Avni carries off with the episodes with the X FACTOR of her wittiness and dark humors regarding the social issues, remains the highlight of the show. Something that has made her a daily face, albeit a popular one, in common people's life. The identity, she was craving for herself since long.

Ever since she has dealt with her initial fears victoriously and put them in backseat, there was no looking back for her. She was running a whole separate team under her ascendancy though she never behave as a leader infact she was very much like a colleauge and work friend with her teammies. The reason being simple she never believed in post hierarchy, which was very much like a blood sucking caste system.

A knock on her transperent glassy cabin's door necessitated her to look away from her monitor.

"Avni, Rahul. Its time for Meeting. The Hottiee ACP accompanied by his "Chamcha" is also here." Divya, another coworker in her team, informed protruding her head slightly inside the door.

"When will u stop calling him that Divya. His name is DD." Avni politely reprimanded her while walking hastly towards the conference room, followed by Rahul and Divya.

The conference room was already filled with decision making management authorities like Executive Editor, chief producer and CEO. Near the projector screen, stood the reason for this meeting with his back facing her along with his most trusted Disciple by his side flashing his most warming greeting through his smile.

As soon as Avni entered, Neil turned to face her and both gave each other a sly grin, noticing which Rahul and Divya gave each other a confused and known glance. Neil started with the meeting after everybody settled down.

"This Drug Dealing case has started to become more convoluted day by day. So here i am to share my plan to put an end to this heavy duty mission, side by side providing a conclusion to Mrs. Avni's story." Neil started with his confident and bossy tone.

"Acc to a recent update from a trustworthy informer, Kal Ek bohot bade drug consignment ki deal Final hone wali hai, aur sabse shocking baat ye hai ki, the buyer is a Women, jiske baareme na unhe koi idea hai na hume." Neil paused for a moment to make sure everybody absorbed the info.

"And we are going to use this blinding for our benefit.!" Avni completed his sentence.

"Exactly Mrs Avni.! Brilliant.!" Neil cheered enthusiastically. All others turned to see Avni being amazed. Well that was the reason for her two succesive promotions in less than 4 months of her job.

The producer grinned widely and imagined the showering of ratings and money for this particular story " ACP Khanna, we are satisfied to go ahead with this Story. We have Mrs Avni as the decision making person from our side. U can coordinate with her for further details." He said with a content smile and shaking hands with Neil took a leave along with other management people.

After their departure, "Iss Mission pe Mai Jaaungi, ACP Khanna.!" Avni declared determined taking everyone by a sudden blowing shock.

"NO WAY.!! Ye police ka kaam hai, civillians ka nahi." Neil shrieked reflexly at the top of his lungs, sensing a grave danger on her life.

"Aur Aap shayad bhul rahe hai Mr. ACP, issi Civillian ne Iss Gang or unka illegal buissness aapke Notice me laai thi." Avni rebuked with sarcastic tone, completely filled with shrewdness, quiet unusual of her own self.

Neil got up from his chair with a start and went near her "Mujhe sab yaad hai Mrs Avni. But Field pe jane ka Ye koi excuse nahi hai" He made his stand clear trying to maintain his calm and avoid whooping at her.

Avni also stood up with such force that the chair fall behind her. She directly faced Neil, fumming " Aap mujhe isse Dur Nahi Rakh Sakte, Ye meri Story hai. THIS IS MY STORY, DAMMIT..!" She screamed claiming her rights with a frowning eyes and angry red nose.

"Aapko aapki Story Mil jaaegi with all Video and Audio effects, without YOU being involved in fields. Just sit inside ur Van and record everything and let police do their work." He gave a fitting reply, giving her a deep enraged stare. The temparature in the room was shooting, not so gradually.

"This is not happening. Mai hi jaaungi" She was being more annoyed and stubborn with his arguments.

Neil hold her arms tightly and shook her vigourously "Why Dont u understand its Danger out there. I cant take Risk to loose ur Life..!!" He squalled densly and one can see an invisible smoke coming out of her ears. His face along with his earlobs completely red with anger and annoyance, something to alarm Avni about the gravity of his emotions.

Neil soon composed himself and left Avni from his hold "I am Sorry Mrs Avni. I didnt mean to hurt u" He gently apologise. Within a blink of an eyelid, The Man who was blazzing high on his temper, came to his cool. Just Like that. Avni slumped herself in a chair placed on her side.

DD, Rahul and Divya too shocked to utter a word, helplessly stare Avni and Neil one by one with their wide gaped mouth.

Few minutes pass by in utter silence. Neil turned to Avni and quickly placed a crumpled ball of paper in Avni's hand stealthily, looking here and there. A puzzled Avni unfold the paper ball secretly and those disorderly scribbled few words obligated her to relax and smile within seconds which she tried to hide looking at the present scenario. A gush of relief coursed through his body the moment he saw her smile. Maybe he has overdone it today. He would have end up hurting her if he didnt compose himself on time.

Neil declared clearing his throat loudly "Ohkay guys The meeting is over.! U may leave. DD u stay near Jeep while i want to have a word with Mrs Avni" Neil ordered DD and the guy acted on it immediately not before giving a teasing grin to Neil.

Divya and Rahul also left the room leaving Avni and Neil behind. Alone.!

"Rahul, I am sure now. In dono ke bich kuch to serious chal raha hai." Divya voiced out her dilema only to earn a laugh from her teammate.

"Aww. Tu toh insecure or jealous bhi hone lagi hai apne Hottiee ACP ke lie" Rahul teased her playfully.

"Shut up yar Rahul. I am serious."

"Arent u forgetting one thing? Avni is married. Mrs Avni. Remember.?" Rahul stated the known facts with a brow shooting upwards.

"Matlab its an Extra Mariatal Affair.!!!" Divya almost froze out of her new discovery and its associated shock. Rahul bluntly shunned her doubts and laughed it away.

Inside the conference room, As soon as the not so needed people left the room, Neil pulled Avni forcefully by her waist and caged her against the wall and between his arms. Without wasting another second he slammed his lips on her. Avni responded with same passion and vigour. Her hands subconsciously submerged deep inside his hair, pulling him as closer as possible. The kiss was Rough. Intense. Hot. Passionate. Desired. The rhythmic rub of their lips on each other caused a lightening jolt spread down their spines.

His hands unbuttoned few upper buttons of her shirt with urgency and demand only to slide inside her cloth. He fondled her bossom carelessly cupping it in his palm making her gasp against his mouth. His ministrations continued on her for quiet sometime before pulling apart for air, panting breathlessly. She placed her forehead against his trying to stabilise her breathing and coming down from her high. Before Neil could progress any further with his Stunt she warned him with her frowning eyes and like an obidient child he buttoned her shirt gently. She smiled at his antics. She combed his dishevelled hairs with her fingers lovingly and wipe a little tinge of her lipstick from his lips with a swift motion of her thumb. He also arranged her clothes and hairs properly.

"Now go to work, ACP Khanna" She said bitting her swollen lips teasingly.

"U too Mrs Avni... Khanna" He returned her favour with a devilish signature smirk of him.

And just like that everything was back to being normal. That is the real beauty of their relationship. All the Anger, frustartion, Annoyance, Tashaan, arguments were settled for good and as a bonus they earned a heart numbingly beautiful moment for themselves to cherish forever. And now they also has some lovely stories in their arsenel to share with their to-be-kids, obviously minusing the censored parts.

Rahul and Divya saw Neil leaving smilingly, subconciously licking his lips. Moments later Avni came out nervously arranging her clothes and hairs. Divya gave a "i told u" look to Rahul who now understand the seriousness behind Divya's doubts and a possibility of it to be truth. The main problem was it was absolutely contradicting with the personality of their Friend Avni which they are aware of since months now.

Avni sat inside her cabin smiling to herself. She read the crumpled paper again.

"Wifey, Agar Aese Gusse me Tamatar ki tarah Laal hoke Baithi Rahogi to Mai Apne aap ko Rok nahi Paaunga tumhe Kiss Karne se.!"

She smiled again shaking her head at the silliness of her hubby. "Yeh Neil Bhi na Pura Pagal hai. Duffer.!!" Her vision involuntarily shifted to the memory of the day, around 20days ago, when all these started.

**Flashback**

She remembered the day when she accidently found a suspicious man selling drugs inside a choclate wrapper to a teenager in the market, in wide open, in daylight. She followed him and decided to expose this gang in her next episode but before that she needed to gather more proofs. Later she discussed the same issue with her Editor in Chief who decided to seek police help only with a condition that every information will be exclusively shared with their channel and The story will be telecasted by Avni in her show. Her boss's words still echo in her ears "I know a Man who can deal with this.!"

To discuss the same matter a meeting was scheduled in their office with certain police officials. Unknown to her, her boss happened to be another fan of an honest and Righteous Police officer ACP Neil Khanna, on account of their previous Encounters and who, unknown to him, was none other than her Husband. And how can anybody not fall for his words and charm? This is just yet another example that came as a complete shocker to Avni when she found Neil, her Neil, sitting in their Conference room. It doesnt take much time for her to do two plus two. And thats how out of all the n number of police out there, ACP Khanna, her one and only smashingly charming Irresistable Hubby became her Work Partner, albeit just for one story.

Neil's reactions were exact mirror images of her thoughts. He too was shocked, with hidden excitement, to find her as a work partner. "ACP Khanna, She is Mrs Avni, our very efficient and hard working Senior Reporter plus Anchor. She is the one who found out the lead for this illegal buissness" and Neil couldnt help but ballooning out his chest with absolute proud for his Wifey. "Avni, he is the Man i was talking about, ACP Khanna. I am sure he will help u the way u want." The editor assured Avni.

Neil was just about to add about their relationship when "Hello, ACP Khanna, its good to have u here." Avni addressed him formally and hinted him through eyes not to mention what he was planing to.

After the meeting ended and everybody including Avni's teammates left the place, Neil cornered her demanding an explaination to award him with a poition of no more than a stranger in her life.

"Avni, Ye sab kya tha?" He made his hold tighter on her waist.

"Neil, i dont want to mix my personal and proffessional life." She stated casually, placing her arms around her neck. "Moreover, i dont want my next promotion for a mere reason of being ACP's wife, i want to earn it on my hard work" Neil was stunned and amazed hearing that. Now how can he stop himself from falling more deeply and madly for this women, Can he.?

"So We are secret.!" He said mimicking a zipping action against her lips "Vaise bhi chup chup ke Pyaar karne me Jada Maza hai." He said teasingly winking at her, pulling her more closer. And yes the deal was sealed with a quick kiss.

**End of Flashback**

Rahul and Divya noticed Avni lost in her own bubble, caressing and kissing a small piece of paper. It was too much for them to handle.

To be Continued..
