"Soo."

"Soo?" I ask him.

"Married or in a relationship with him?" He asked randomly.

"Huh?" I close my laptop to see him staring at me intently.

"The chief." He uttered.

Bhai?

"What chief?" I ask him confused.

"Are you dating him? Or already married?" He asked.

"Why? Wait what?" I yell.

"Na see I am asking this because if you are married I won't flirt with you. Like I would have zero chances. And if you are in a relationship still I won't flirt but I would have like 40% chances." He explains while I look at him in shock.

"Who said I am married? Or dating him?" I asked him.

"Oh madam, obviously you won't be invited to the chief's house for dinner na?" He taunted while I started laughing.

"You think.." And I keep on laughing and laughing!!

"He is my brother." I laugh loudly.

Laksh looks extremely shocked.

"You didn't know?" I ask him and he says a no.

"So you don't know that the director is my dad?" I tell him and his jaw drops.

"God. I could have never imagined. Like the way they both act.." he says while I smile proudly.

Thats the best thing, because I know I reached this position just because of my hardwork and passion.

"So baby doll, what do you about marriage?"

"What the fuck? First of all my name is Ragini. And marriage? Are you gone mad?" I yell.

"Chillax baby, what I meant was didn't you hear them? We are faking marriage for three whole months. That means." He says but stops.

"That means?" I repeat looking at him in confusion.

He bends forward, closer to my face.

I gulp yet stare at him angrily.

"That means." He huskily mutters.

"We would be in a same house. Same room. Same bed. Even-" he continues huskily.

"Oye Mr. we are faking marriage. I hope you know what faking means. That means no same bed. No same room and no same-" I reply confidently.

"We will see baby. We'll see."

"Stop calling me baby! Do you get that? I am not disrespecting you because my dad and bhai both have instructed me against that saying you are my senior. So remember this mission is completely and wholly professional." I tell him and get up and leave our cabin.

"Ragini." He says and I stop. I turn around to look at him.

He used my name? Am I dreaming?

"We will see that." He winked and I stamped my foot and left. While he chuckled behind.

><><><>

"So agents, are you both ready?" Director asks as we both nod.

"Ragini." I heard Director saying.

He said my name on duty?

"Yes sir?" I ask.

"Papa." He corrects and smiles.

"Please take care? And Laksh look after our princess here. Extremely confident yet the clumsiest amongst." He says while Laksh and chief both chuckle.

"Paaappa." I whine as I fold my arms.

"And fatty, Ma has been told that you are off to another country for three months. She can't know about this mission." Bhai informed.

"Why?" Ma was always aware of my missions and she never objected. Then why hide this one from her?

"Because Ragu, she wouldn't send you. And you know her." Papa said as bhai nodded.

Oh now I know. If ma came to know I will be staying with a complete stranger, she would go crazy. She wouldn't even care that the stranger is a head agent. Nope. And papa and bhai would get murdered by her.

"I will take care of that." I tell them smiling.

"But papa, why do we have to go as an undercover in a housing society? What could go wring there except the normal neighbour fights or children fights." I ask them while bhai and papa go numb.

"Theft and drugs." Laksh utters thoughtfully.

"Huh?" I ask him.

"In the last five months seven parties were arranged there, without any event. Gold, cash and everything were stolen. But no one remembers how. And coincidentally all of this takes place on the party night only. So theres something weird in the parties." Laksh tells while papa and bhai looked at him impressed.

I stared at him, my jaw reaching the floor.

"Research, baby." He whispers the last part so that papa and bhai can't hear him.

This flirt surely knows how to do the job.

"So when is the next party?" I ask them.

"We will have to find that out." Laksh says as he winks.

And this time papa and bhai do notice that.

"Ragu, you wait outside. I want to talk to Agent G." Papa orders and I nod.

Weirdly.

But but but I am Ragu, how will I not eavesdrop.

"Laksh."

"Yes sir?"

"She is my daughter." Papa said.

"I know that, sir."

"Don't ever forget that." Bhai says in his authorative voice.

Ooh going all protective.

Waah bhai and papa.

Soon I hear footsteps and I run to the cabin.

"So what did they say?" I ask him innocently as he entered our cabin.

"Baby, you already eavesdropped. You know what they said." He says.

"How..how did you know?" I asked him confused.

He walks closer, and bends.

"I amthe top undercover for a reason, baby." He whispers into my ears.

Okay. Good. Now maintain distance.

"So are you ready? Mrs. Singhania," he says loudly as he move farther.

"I hope so." I mumble.

Am I even ready to be undercover for three months and that too married?

"Relax." He smiles genuinely.

And for the first time, I smile back at him.
