Siddhart – "Aaj ka din busy hai, lekin dinner pe milte hain, madam. Uska surprise ready hai." 😉

Shreya (smiling, shaking her head) – "Surprise lover. Theek hai, dekhte hain." 😊

Scene Changed:

(1:00 PM)

(Shreya called Sid while she was still at work, her voice calm but clearly hinting at her busy schedule.)

Shreya (confidently) – "Haan Sid, free ho jaungi by 4, tum jo plan karna hai kar lo!" 😌
(She smiled, imagining Sid's excited face on the other side of the call.)

(Sid, on the other hand, was grinning, excited about the prank he had in mind.)

Sid (mischievous) – "Perfect! Tum bas ready rehna. Surprise guaranteed!" 😈

(Shreya smiled, unaware of what was coming her way, and continued her work while Sid got busy planning his stunt with his two friends.)

Sid, with his mischievous grin, already had a plan brewing. He turned to his two friends, Dev and Akash, who were sitting in his car.

(Basement Parking of IB, 4:00 PM)

(Sid and his two friends were dressed head to toe in black, nervously adjusting their fake guns as they hid in the basement parking of the Intelligence Bureau. Sid was confident because the watchman already knew him as Shreya's husband.)

Sid (with a playful smirk) – "Bhai, plan tayar hai. Shreya ko zindagi bhar yaad rahega ye prank!" 😁
(He rubbed his hands together, already imagining how it would unfold.)

Dev (concerned) – "Yaar Sid, mujhe lagta hai ye thoda risky hai. IB jaisi jagah pe kidnapping ka natak? Tune thik se socha hai?" 😕
(He glanced at Akash for backup, but Sid's enthusiasm made them hesitate.)

Akash (seriously) – "Woh bhi ek honourable officer ko? Agar kisi ne seriously le liya toh kya hoga?" 😟
(Both were clearly uneasy, but Sid had his heart set on the prank.)

Sid (confidently) – "Arey chill guys, sab kuch control mein hai. Mask pehn ke pakdenge use, ek fake gun se daraayenge. Jab tak samjhegi ki kaun hain hum, sab khatam. Aur phir... movie, drive, dinner! Perfect romantic day!" 😎
(He winked at them, and they reluctantly agreed.)

(Meanwhile, Shreya exited her office and made her way to the parking, completely unaware of the surprise waiting for her.)

Sid (whispering excitedly) – "Woh aa rahi hai... tayar raho!" 😏
(They all hid behind nearby pillars, waiting for her to appear.)

Shreya, completely unaware of what was about to happen, walked toward her car while talking on the phone.

Shreya (on call, distracted) – "Haan Sid, bas parking me hu, ab ghar jaaungi. Tumhe waha milti hoon." 😊
(She hung up and reached for her car door.)

Suddenly, three masked men appeared from behind, grabbing her from all sides!

Sid (in a fake gruff voice) – "Move mat karna, nahi toh goli maar denge!" 😈
(He aimed the fake gun at her, thinking he'd scare her into submission.)

But Shreya wasn't one to be easily scared. She acted in a split second—using her elbow, she hit Dev in the gut, turned around, and kicked Akash's leg, sending him tumbling to the ground.

Shreya (fiercely) – "Soch bhi nahi sakte ke tum kisse panga le rahe ho!" 😤
(She swiftly turned toward Sid, who was momentarily frozen by her speed.)

She grabbed Sid's wrist, twisting it with such force that he dropped the gun. Using the momentum, she kneed him in the stomach, sending him staggering backwards. All of this happened in under a minute. Shreya was a commando-trained officer, and she had taken them down like it was nothing!

All three "kidnappers" were on the ground before they even realized what had hit them. Sid's two friends groaned in pain, while Sid, in complete shock, struggled to catch his breath.

***As the fighting scene unfolded on the screen, ACP's chest swelled with pride. He watched Shreya in action, her skill and determination shining through every move. This was the woman they had come to respect deeply, and seeing her hold her ground against the odds ignited a fierce admiration within him. The team's resolve strengthened, knowing she had faced formidable challenges with unwavering bravery.***

By now, the IB officers monitoring the CCTV had seen the chaos and rushed to the parking lot. Several officers stormed in, guns drawn, surrounding the three masked "criminals."

Jatin (yelling) – "Hath upar karo! Mask utaro abhi!" 😠
(All the guns were aimed at the three men on the ground. Shreya stood tall, her own gun drawn and pointed at them too.)

(Author's POV: Ignore the outfit🤭)

Shreya (demanding) – "Tum (Aiming towards Akash), mask utaro!" 😡

(Sid and his friends, still dazed, hesitated for a second, but before Sid could say anything, Shreya grabbed Akash's mask and pulled it off.)

As soon as Shreya saw his face, she recognized him—one of Sid's friends. Her eyes widened in realization.

Shreya (shocked, but angry) – "Akash? Tum?!" 😠
(She put the pieces together as Dev also removed his mask.)

(She immediately recognized Sid's friend, and it all started making sense. But the anger in her eyes didn't fade.)

Maya (confused) – "Yeh kya mazaak chal raha hai?" 😐

(Sid, embarrassed, finally pulled off his own mask, revealing himself.)

Sid (guilty, trying to smile) – "Surprise?" 😬

(The entire group of officers burst out laughing, realizing what had happened. Even Shreya's lips twitched in a slight smile, but the fury in her eyes was unmistakable.)

(Sid's two friends were still nursing their bruises when Mansi lifted their fake guns, looking puzzled.)

Mansi (laughing) – "Yeh toh nakli hai! Tum log gun tak asli nahi la sake?" 😅

The mood in the room lightened, but before Sid could explain himself, ACP Sir entered, furious. His sharp eyes scanned the scene. His face was stern, and everyone fell silent.

ACP (fuming) – "Sid!" 😡
(Sid stiffened, knowing what was coming.)

ACP (seriously) – "Yeh kya mazak hai? Tumhare doston ke wajah se tum teenon mar sakte the! Agar Shreya tumhe take down nahi karti toh hum goli maar dete!" 😠
(He glared at Sid, then turned to Shreya, his voice softening, calm, but firm)
...
"Kal mere cabin mein aana, mujhe tumse baat karni hai."

(Everyone knew what that meant. His tone indicated that Shreya would be facing consequences, probably a tough punishment for allowing such a situation to unfold, even though Sid was the mastermind.)

Sid, Dev, and Akash were shaken, realizing how close they had come to a serious disaster. Sid's friends shot him with angry glares.

Akash (angrily) – "Maine kaha tha yeh mat kar, lekin nahi! Ab dekho, hamari jaan almost chali gayi thi tumhare stupid prank ki wajah se!" 😤
(He yelled at Sid, throwing the fake gun to the ground in frustration.)

Dev (furious) – "Ab khush ho? Chalo ghar chalte hain. Tere prank ne hume marwa diya hota aaj!" 😠

(Sid tried to calm them down, but they were done with him. The two friends took Sid's car and left without another word, leaving Sid alone to face Shreya's wrath.)

Once everyone left, Shreya glared at Sid, her anger palpable. As they got into Shreya's car, she couldn't hold back anymore. Shreya's face was red with anger as they sat in the car. Sid tried to lighten the mood, but Shreya wasn't having it.

Shreya (seething) - "Tumhe laga ki tum IB se, jo desh ki security sambhalta hai, wahan se ek officer ko kidnap kar loge? Seriously?! Yeh toh aise hi hua ke tum police station se police ko hi utha lo!" 😡
(She gripped the steering wheel tightly, trying to control her rage.)

Sid (nervous, trying to laugh it off) – "Arey, maine socha sirf tumhe daraunga—" 😅

Shreya (cutting him off, furious, angry, sarcastic) – "Police station mein phir bhi 5 log, 4 lathiyan aur 2 guns hoti hai. IB mein toh nanny ke paas bhi gun hoti hai! Yaha toh har officer trained commando hai!
...
(Sid sat quietly, knowing she was right. Shreya continued, her voice rising.)
...
Tumhe pata bhi hai kitna khatarnaak tha yeh sab?!" 😠 Tumhari wajah se tum mar bhi sakte the!" 😤
(She clenched her fists, the reality of the situation finally sinking in for Sid.)

Sid (guiltily) – "I'm sorry Shreya... maine nahi socha ki aise hoga." 😞
(His voice dropped, feeling guilty, realizing how much danger he had put them all in.)

Shreya stayed silent for a few moments, her anger mixed with relief that nothing worse had happened. She started the car and drove home.

As they entered their home, Shreya immediately got the first aid kit. Sid sat quietly on the couch, watching as she cleaned up his minor injuries. Shreya quietly tended to Sid's minor bruises, applying antiseptic to his cuts. Sid watched her in silence, feeling the weight of his prank.

Sid (softly) – "Sorry... maine socha nahi tha ke yeh sab itna bigad jayega." 😔
(He winced as she applied antiseptic.)

(Shreya didn't respond immediately, focusing on bandaging his hand, but her expression softened slightly.)

Shreya (calm, but still upset) – "Bas Sid... aaj mei tumhari jaan le sakti thi, samjhe? Tumhe kuch hota toh main apne aap kabhi maaf nahi kar pati." 😢
(She gently bandaged his wrist, her anger fading, replaced by worry.)

Sid nodded, understanding her concern. After finishing the first aid, Shreya sighed. After the first aid, they both sat in silence for a while.

Sid (sincerely) – "Shreya. I'm sorry." 😔

Shreya looked at him, her expression softening. She leaned in and hugged him.

Scene Changed: 

The plan for the movie had gone out the window, so they headed to the orphanage as they originally planned. The children there greeted them with joy, and Sid's mood lightened as he played with them, while Shreya watched.

They drove to the orphanage in silence, but the tension between them started to ease. The sight of the kids running towards them brought smiles back to their faces. They spent some time playing with the children, and by the time they left, the mood had lightened considerably.

(Sid suggested a romantic dinner, and Shreya agreed. They went to a cosy restaurant on the outskirts, where the lights were dim, and the atmosphere was perfect.)

Sid (grinning) – "Mujhe laga tha yeh surprise tumhe pasand aayega, par galat tha." 😅

Shreya (teasing) – "Haan, bohot zyada galat." 😏

(They both laughed, the tension fully evaporating. After dinner, they drove back home, enjoying the peaceful long drive.)

Scene: Back Home After Dinner

As soon as they stepped inside their home, the tension of the day slowly dissolved into a comforting silence. The gentle hum of the evening breeze filled the room as Shreya placed her bag on the counter and began to unwind, but Sid had something else in mind.

Sid (with a soft smile) – "Shreya... rukho."
(He moved closer, his voice low and filled with warmth.)

She turned towards him, her hair lightly tousled from the breeze outside, her eyes questioning but calm.

Without saying another word, Sid gently took her hand, pulling her toward him. His touch was tender yet firm as if he needed her closer—needed to feel the security of her presence after everything that had happened. Shreya initially caught off guard, allowed herself to be pulled in, her body relaxing as she surrendered to the moment.

Sid (in a soft whisper) – "Aaj jo bhi hua, ek cheez toh clear hai..."
(He lifted his hand, his fingers brushing lightly against her cheek, tracing the curve of her face with an almost reverent gentleness.)

Shreya's eyes softened, her heart pounding steadily as she looked up at him. The warmth of his hand on her skin sent a comforting shiver through her. She knew that the man standing before her—the one who had just pulled a crazy prank—was also the same man who loved her with everything he had.

Sid (with a small, proud smile) – "Tum bahut strong ho. I am very, very proud of you... and now..."
(He leaned in, his forehead resting against hers, his breath warm on her skin.)

Sid (playfully, with a loving smile) – "I feel a little more safe with you." 😘

The corners of Shreya's lips curled into a smile, her heart fluttering at the vulnerability in his words.

Shreya (teasing, but softly) – "Ab tumhe meri zarurat zyada mehsoos ho rahi hai?"
(She raised an eyebrow, but her tone was light and affectionate.)

Sid didn't respond with words; instead, he leaned in slowly, his gaze locked on hers. Their eyes spoke volumes—an unspoken understanding, a shared relief that they were together, safe, and stronger than ever.

Their lips met softly, almost hesitantly at first, as if savouring the moment, but soon the kiss deepened. There was no rush, just a tender exchange of love, care, and longing. Shreya's hands moved up to Sid's chest, feeling the steady beat of his heart under her palms, and Sid's arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer until there was no space left between them.

*** As the romantic kiss played out, an awkward silence settled over the room. Abhijeet quickly averted his gaze, the heat of embarrassment creeping up his neck. He could feel Daya's pain resonating in the air, and it made the moment even more uncomfortable. The other officers followed suit, eyes shifting away from the screen, unwilling to witness the intimacy that felt like an invasion of privacy. Daya's heartache weighed heavily on them all, a reminder of the complex ties that bound their lives.***

The room around them seemed to disappear. The only thing that existed was the warmth of their bodies, the gentle pressure of their lips, and the quiet, intimate bubble they found themselves in.

As they stood there, locked in each other's embrace, the lights in the room began to dim. Neither of them noticed at first, too absorbed in the moment. But as the kiss continued, the atmosphere grew more tranquil. The soft hum of the world outside faded into silence, leaving just the two of them, together, bathed in the gentle glow of the remaining light.

Slowly, as if the universe itself was giving them space for their quiet moment, the room was swallowed by the darkness.

Shreya pulled back slightly, her forehead still resting against Sid's, her breath shallow and soft.

Shreya (whispering, with a small smile) – "Lights off?" 😄
(But there was a playful glint in her eyes.)

Sid chuckled, the sound low and intimate in the quiet room.

Sid (softly) – "Shayad..."
(He leaned in once more, his lips grazing hers lightly.)

And as the last bit of light vanished, everything faded into a comforting darkness, leaving them together in a world of their own.
