The moment Batra sir cut the call Karan rushed to Advika's room. He knocked on the door, no response. He called out her name, no response. Finding every attempt futile he banged on the door in irritation while running his hand through his hair.
Karan:- Advika damn it, Darwana kholo. Tum ek Special Agent ho, you cannot fall weak. Open the damned door Advika!
Advika opened the door silently and again sat down on the floor against the wall while hugging the pillow expressionlessly. Karan's anger went straight to zero seeing his Ms. Batooni so silent and still. He went and sat beside her.
Karan:- Joh man mein hai woh bol de, chup rehne se, apne man mein sab kuch rakhne se kuch nahi hoga. Joh bolna hai, bol de.
Advika *in a monotone with an expressionless face*:- Ma-maine usse trust kiya tha Karan, aur usne woh tod diya. Uski baatein, uski aankhein, uske actions, inn sab se kabhi laga hi nahi ki woh... wo-woh aisa kuch kar sakta hai.
Karan:- Tum usse pyaar karti thi?
Karan wanted Advika to talk and react so that she doesn't keep anything buried in her heart which will pain her even in future.
Advika chuckled humuorlessly:- Ab kya farak padhta hai?
Karan:- Jab chot par medicine nahi lagayi jaati toh future mein jab uspar medicine lagate hain, toh woh aur dukhti hai, aisa Rani Sahiba ne kaha tha. Ab batao, pyaar karti ho ya nahi?
Advika:- Haan karti ho! Karti hoon usse pyaar. Koi attraction ya crush nahi hai, it's love.
By now Advika had bent towards Karan and was crying. Karan let her cry knowing that she needed to let it out.
Advika *while crying*:- Woh yeh nahi kar sakta! Maine uski aankhon mein dekha hai!
Karan:- Please, sambhalo khud ko. Meri Ms. Fighter strong hain na?
Listening to that only made Advika cry harder while Monami, who had seen the man and wanted to inform Karan saw the scene. She too was in tears seeing the two ever-so-strong agents crying. Faizi and Koel too stood beside Monami, in tears.
Karan:- Advika, hum officers hain, humein yeh mission without any emotions niptana hoga. Rohan galat hai. Usse saza milegi. Tum agent ho Advika.
Advika:- Agent hoon toh kya? Insaan nahi hoon? Imagine Rohan ki jagah Monami hoti? Tumhein dard nahi hota?
Advika placed her head on Karan's shoulder and cried. Karan shivered at just the thought of Monami being at the place of Rohan. Sensing Karan's emotions, Monami silently went inside and kept her hand on his shoulder and squeezed it lightly as to assure him that everything will be alright. After a while Advika had fallen asleep while keeping her head on Karan's shoulder itself. Karan picked her up and tucked her in bed and gestured Faizi to leave with Koel to their room and meet tomorrow, though Faizi wanted to stay, he obliged an left leaving Karan and Monami in the room.
Karan sat on the couch in front of the bed. Monami knew that Karan would never show his emotions so easily, she sat down beside him and tilted his head on her shoulder.
Karan *with tears in his eyes and in a broken voice*:- Uske saath aisa kyun ho raha hai? Woh toh bechari kabhi kisi ka bura nahi chahti thi!
Monami blinked away her tears and gulped the pain in her throat:- Koi nahi, jo hota hai acche ke liye hota hai Aur mujhe tum dono par poora bharosa hai. In fact, hum sab usse milkar sambhal lenge.
The next day
Advika woke up and saw Rohan's text.
Rohan: Good Morning Advika! Garden mein milo, at 700 hours, joh baat kehni hai woh flag hoisting se pehle ki kehni hogi.
Advika wanted to confront Rohan and so got ready to leave for the garden.
In the garden
Advika entered only to be welcomed by a shower of rose petals, she smiled and blushed knowing who did this. But remembering last night, her eyes got filled with tears.
Rohan:- Advika, chahoon toh tumhein ek lamba sa essay suna sakta hoon on why I love you and kyun mein tumhe khush rakh sakta hoon. Na hi main koi bade bade promises karne wala hoon, becuase hum sab soldiers ka promise kisi aur se hota hai, humari desh se. Lekin haan, ek cheez hai, joh shayad ab tum bhi jaan gayi hogi, woh hai, that I love you Special Agent Dr. Advika Singh. I love you! You have taught me how to love Advika, tumne mujhe pyaar, trust. care yeh sab karna sikhaya hai. Kuch log apna dard smile se chupate hain toh kuch gusse se par un sabke neeche chipe huye insaan ko dhoonda hai humne. I really love you Advika.
Advika had tears in her eyes and she was almost sobbing by now. Rohan at first thought that she was crying in happiness but when she closed her eyes and started sobbing her got up from his knees and hugged her.
Rohan:- Pasand nahi aya? I am really sorry, maine bohot koshish ki thi isse best banane ki but shayad tumhein pasand nahi aya I- I am sorry Advika tum at least ro toh mat aise. Please, main tumhein tumhari favourite location par jaakar propose karoon?
Advika pushed Rohan away *while crying*- Shut up Rohan shut up, chup karo!
Rohan looked at Advika shocked and hurt.
Rohan:- Maine kuch galat kiya kya? I am sorry Advika agar mujhe pata hota tum itni hurt hogi toh main aisa kuch nahi karta, I- I a sorry.
Advika:- Maine kaha na chup karo, Ab agar tumne sorry bola na toh...
Rohan:- Toh?
The rest of the Parakram Paltan was hiding behind the bushes waiting for their plan to work. The criminal gang was also hiding at some other place enjoying the scene since they wanted this to happen.
Criminal gang's leader:- Yahi toh hum chahte the Rohan, aur gusso humare plans mein, humari success mein. Ab bhugto, bechara, kaam karein hum, kamayein hum, aur bhugatna isse padega. Pehli iski yeh dilruba ashiqui isse zor se thappad maregi, phir uss ashiqui ka bhai, Karan isse apne Ulti Khopdi Special maar khilayega aur phir jail bhejega. Bechare ka dil, tootega nahi, powder ban jayega!
The whole gang silently laughed.
Advika:- Toh main tumhe zor se...
Rohan:- Thappad marogi?
Advika:- Gale laga loongi duffer!
Saying so she went and tightly hugged Rohan. Rohan smiled happily and hugged her back but found her behavior weird.
Advika:- I love you too Rohan!!
The Parakram Paltan came out of their hiding spot cheering and happily dancing while Rohan and Advika too joined the celebration. The Corrupt officers were shocked.
The head came out of the hiding spot not being able to contain the anger in himself:- Yeh kya kar rahe ho, yeh Rohan toh corrupt hai na? Isi ne toh sare karname kiye hain, phone call, papa ke baare emin jhoot bolna, bank statements, file par naam milna aur sab!!
Sid:- Ori baba! Aapko kaise pata bro? No, not bro, in fact, Ranveer, sir!
Yes, so the head was Ranveer and the team were the rest of the suspects.
Ranveer:- W-oh hum bhi mission mein contribute karna chahte the isiliye...
Karan:- Kitna jhoot bolega saale! Ulti Khopdi Special maar toh tu khayega. In fact, main kyun hinsa karoon? Bala, Chitra, Sid, Sanju, Faizi, Koel, the stage is yours, dikhao apna jalwa.
Ab toh cadets trained bhi the, de dena dan peeta. Of course, woh officers bhi trained the par gun point par bhi toh the, Monami ne nishana joh tan rakha tha.
Karan:- Inn sabki kartooton ka confession aur sab hum dekh lenge, tum Rohan ke saath jao Annabelle!
Advika:- Haan jaa rahi hoon, mujhe bhi koi shauk nahi hai tum jaise Khalnayak saath khade rehne ka!
Karan:- Excuse me kal toh kuch aur hi lag raha tha?
Advika- You!
Karan:- You!
Rohan dragged Advika to his room before a Ho Gaya Siyappa War IV could start.
Rohan:- Advika, yeh sab kya hai? Kya ho raha hai and...
Advika put her hand on his lips and explained how the misunderstanding got created.
Advika:- Phir baad main Monami ne Karan ko sab bataya...
FLASHBACK
Monami:- Aur ek aur baat!
Karan looked at her with a questioning gaze.
Monami:- Woh...
Monami explained what all she had heard. (Last Part flashback: The jacket man's words)
Karan:- Aur yeh tumne mujhe pehle kyun nahi bataya?
Monami:- Kyunki tum dono itne disturbed the toh...
Karan cut her off:- Duty se pehle kuch nahi. Chalo ab, udhar dekhte hain.
Both of them along with the whole team went and searched the place. Sid had silently gone inside Rohan's room to check the phone call.
Rohan *in sleep*:- I love you Advika...
Sid stood there confused. Whether Rohan was a good man or not. Shrugging of the thoughts, he carried out his duty. He picked up the phone and matched the incoming number of the phone. To his utter shock, neither did the phone match, nor did the incoming call's number.
Sid:- Yeh phone toh woh hai hi nahi.
Sid listened to the entire conversation with Rohan had and understood the entire golmaal. He went and explained it to the other who felt like banging their heads against a wall.
Bala:- Hadd hoti hai yaar, ab kya karein? Back to square one!
Everyone looked at him with shock.
Karan:- Yeh mission ka time hai, serious discussion hai aur tum aisi harkat kar rahe ho?
Faizi:- Humein apni correct english se maarna chahte ho?
Faizi took out his ultimate weapon, the milkshake!!! (Anyone remembers, from TD series?)
Bala ne piya:- Urgh, Chiii!!! Kitna ghaitya hai yeh yaar, why drinking you me this?
Karan:- Haan shabash, theek hai, chalo ab mission par dhyaan dete hain.
Sid went and woke up Advika and all of them sat in MoRan's room.
Advika:- Ab kya hai? Mission khatam na? Ab kya issi moment Rohan ko jail mein ghaseetna hai?
Karan:- Shaant jwala mukhi, shaant. Rohan is innocent.
Advika:- Kya?
Karan:- Haan.
The entire team explained what all had happened.
Advika:- Sid maine na teri jaan le leni hai duffer, stupid, idiot, bewakoof, kamina, gadha...
Sid:- Woah Woah, ek minute Advika bro, chill. Dekho, Karan bro ke style mein do batein, pehli, aap Sanju ko kyun lena chahte hain?
Advika:- Do batein, pehli, yeh baat nahi question tha, doosri, Sanju kahan se tapak gayi?
Sid:- Aapne kaha na main tumhari jaan le longi, toh meri jaan toh Sanju hi hai!
Sanju:- Oye Chirkut, aaj toh tu sach mein maar khayega!
Monami bends towards Sanju:- Internally toh tum bhi blush kar hi rahi ho Sanju!
Sanju smacked Monami lightly and turned towards the other side hiding her smile.
Sid:- Sanjuuu!!! And anyways, doosri, aap bhi toh thi na wahan uss phone call drama ke time par! Toh galti sabki thi!
Advika:- Joh bhi hai! Lekin ab kaise pohonche criminal tak?
Karan smirked:- Ab criminal tak pyaar se hi pohonchenge.
Bala *whispered to the rest*:- Pyaar se? Ab kya puppiyan dete dete pohonchenge? Karan sir ne raat ko chadha li hai kya?
Bala was rewarded with a crisp Karan Special Death Glare to which he kept mum.
FLASHBACK OVER
Advika:- Hum samajh chuke the ki uski tumse koi personal dushmani bhi thi and woh hum dono ko saath mein nahi dekhna chahta tha aur isliye humne yeh sab kiya.
Rohan:- Chalo, finally, sab pakde toh gaye!
He exclaimed while faking a smile and turned around blinking away his tears. Advika held his arms and made him face towards her.
Advika:- Rohan I am sorry, I know mujhe tumhein trust karna chahiye tha, I- I should have taken your side lekin... lekin meri duty, meri duty mujhse yeh sab expect nahi karti.
Rohan had side hugged Advika letting her speak out whatever she wanted to.
Advika *in tears*:- Main khud ready nahi thi iss sab ko believe karne ke liye lekin... I- I am sorry Rohan. Tumhara love itna pure tha aur ek main hi thi jo-joh tumhein samajh nahi payi. I don't deserve your love Rohan, I am sorry.
She was about to run but Rohan caught her on time and hugged her while Advika cried.
Advika:- Main jab 19 years ki thi, tab main apni training kar rahi thi, academy mein kisi ladke ko chot lag gayi thi, usse pehle maine apne shoulder pe balance karne ki koshish ki par usse bohot zyada lagi huyi thi toh mujhe usse uthana padha and disbalance hone ki wajah se hum dono bohot closely gir gaye the. Uss scene ki picture kisi ne le li thi and woh mere parents tak pohonch gayi.
Rohan understood where this was going to so he stayed mum and allowed her to talk her fears out.
Advika:- Meine mumma papa ko bohot samjhaya aur woh samajh bhi jaate lekin, lekin samaajh! Iss samaj ki baaton mein aakar papa and mumma ne mujhse baat karna band kar diya. Main bhi thak gayi thi khud ko innocent prove kar kar ke, and uske baad meri bhi toh self respect hai, mujhpe aise hi ilzaam ho mere parents bhi nahi laga sakte. Uske baad meine bhi kabhi unse baat nahi ki. Tabse main attitude aur self respect ko top priority par rakhti hoon. And- I know kitna bura lagta hai jab koi aisa, jisse aap itna pyaar karte ho, woh aap par doubt kare, hurt hota hai, bohot hurt karta hai. I am sorry Rohan, I am sorry.
Rohan:- Ssh. Bas, it's okay Advika. Pehle bhi tum sabko mujh par doubt karna padha and ab bhi, but it's- it's okay. Main yeh nahi kahoonga that I didn't get hurt, thoda toh bura lagta hai but duty main bhi samajhta hoon. And meri bhi galti hai, mujhe bhi papa aur mumma ke baare mein kuch nahi chupana chahiye tha lekin mere apne reasons the, and I promise, aaj sab clear ho jayega, chalo.
Advika:- Wai- wait kidhar?
Rohan:- Mere orphanage. Jaldi chalo, flag hoisting se pehle aana hai wapas.
Both of them almost sneaked out of the academy and reached the orphange.
At the orphanage
Rohan:- Maaa!!
The cartaker of the children came:- Rohan beta teri maa upar room mein hai, wait kar rahi hain tera, aaj toh tu apni wali dikhane wala hai na? *teasing and smiling*
Rohan:- Kya maashi aap bhi? *he chuckled and ruffled his hair*
Advika smiled at the scene and walked behind Rohan. Rohan pulled her with him while she gasped.
Rohan:- Tumhein mere peeche peeche nahi, mere side by side chalna hai zindagi bhar.
Advika chuckled and nodded.
Rohan:- Toh meri maa actually iss orphanage ki owner hain. Unhe mujhme mera beta aur mujhe toh sab mein apna koi dikhta tha. Eventually, unhone aur unke husband ne, jinhe mein papa bolta hoon, unhone mujhe legally toh nahi, par haan, beta zaroor bana liya tha. Iss orphanage mein bhi sabke aankhon ka tara banke ghoomta tha main. Phir ek time aya, ki mere real parents aa gaye but woh actually underworld ke mafias the, by the age of 10 mujhe maa aur papa ke ghar mein rehne ke liye keh diya gaya tha. But mere real parents toh mafias toh, aise kaise mera faiyda nahi uthate? Ab jab main mil gaya tha toh uske badle mein unhone orphanage ki adhi zameen mang li.
Advika:- Ooh, so woh address joh tumhare naam par tha woh actually iss orphanage ka hissa tha.
Rohan:- Hmm, schooling area tha. And papa ko unn logon ne marwa diya tha.
Rohan had clenched his fist tightly while Advika placed her hand on his to calm him down.
Rohan:- Khair, ab toh woh dono jail mein hai. Chalo, maa ke paas chalte hain.
Advika:- Pehle smile karo.
Both of them smiled and went in there and the three enjoyed their time.
In the academy.
Karan and Monami were in their room.
Karan:- Chalo sab nipat gaya, Advika aur Rohan ko apna pyaar mil gaya, mission successful, and mujhe mera pyaar mil gaya!
He said while pulling Monami closer. Monami gasped and then smacked him on his arms.
Monami:- Karan, suit pehene do mujhe dhang se!
Karan:- Kaho toh mein madat karoon? *while winking*
Monami blushed and them pushed him to get ready.
Karan:- Waise... ab humara aagey ka kya plan hai?
Monami:- Matlab? Academy and next mission, simple!
Karan's face fell:- Monami! Isliye, isliye hum ladke kabhi romantic nahi ho pate. Arey hadd hoti hai, mein yahan... *then he stopped realising what he was about to say*
Monami smiled teasingly:- Tum wahan? Konse sapne sajakar beithe huye the haan?
Karan smirked and pulled her closer and both fell on the bed.
Karan:- Bataoonga. Flag hoisting ke bad. *he winked and left.*
Monami blushed and got ready.
After the flag hoisting.
Karan had blind folded Monami and was taking her to the same place where she had broken the fast for him. He took out a rose and sat on his knees.
Karan:- Gulzaar sir ki lines copy karte huye, "kuch yun mili nazar tumse, ki baaki sab nazarandaz ho gaye.". Khair, woh point nahi hai, point toh yeh hai ki...
Monami:- Ki?
Karan:- I love you. Mission ki tension mein dhang se propose tak nahi kar paya, par ab karoonga. So Dr. Monami Mahajan, aap hi hain woh special ladki, jisne mere patthar jaise attitude ko roses se replace kar diya hai, tum hi ho jisne love, care, happiness aur whatsoever baaki saari positive feelings mere andar instill kar di. You know, mein koi shayar toh hoon nahi, aur na hi koi public speaker joh main koi lambi lambi speeches de sakoon, tumhare liye mere paas joh bhi respect, love, care aur importance hai, woh main gulzaar sahab ki tarah shabdon mein naa toh likh sakta hoon na na hi bol sakta hoon. But, one thing is for sure, mere actions se tumhare liye mere paas joh kuch bhi hai, woh zaroor dikha paoonga. Only if you give me a chance, so Dr. Monami Mahajan...
Monami took a deep breath knowing what was coming.
Karan:- Will you give me the chance to shower my love on you?
Monami nodded with happiness and hugged him and both of them fell on the ground but none cared. They were too happy to care.
Aur aise shuru huyi inn 10 logon ki prem kahani. Kuch logon ko pehle hi samajh a gaya, kuch ko aa raha hai, aur kuch ko aa jayega, ki yeh sab #Ishq Wala Love hai!
