Mumbai Headquarters, 9am...
Officer Bandana was sitting on the desk, reading a file carefully. In front of her was standing Doctor Sameeksha, waiting for Bandana's first order. Their relation is more than best friends, they are part of each other's family now.

Sameeksha was tired, finally she decided to break the silence. "Momo yaar..." She said and stopped, Bandana looked up and cocked her eyebrow. Sameeksha understood her mistake. Yes, they are best friends but duty is duty. On duty Bandana is the Leader of their team.

"Bandana" Sameeksha sighed, "are we waiting for someone?"

Bandana stood up and nodded. She put her hands in her pockets. "Officer Shahveer Khan, INTERPOL" A tall, fair, fit guy said. Bandana turned to see who it was. "You're quite early Mister" Bandana said sarcastically, tapping on her wrist watch. Sameeksha let out a chuckle. Shahveer's eyes searched for the owner of that chuckle. As soon as they found it, he smiled.

"Hello?" Bandana said to catch Shahveer's attention, "late lateef, itni jaldi aane ki meherbaani kyu ki?" She asked. Shahveer looked confused.

"Do you speak Hindi?" Bandana asked. Shahveer looked at her. "Oh yeah, woh actually mujhe pta nhi tha yaha itni traffic hoti hai" He replied.

"Pehla din hai, iss lie maaf kia. Next time late hue to zindagi narak se bhi battar ho jaeghi" Bandana said. Shahveer widened his eyes.

Later in the afternoon...
"Hey beautiful!" Shahveer said to Sameeksha, who was looking at her computer screen carefully. She looked at him and rolled her eyes.

"Tum dono esi hi ho kya?" He asked sitting on her desk and playing with the paper weight, "ek khadoos, dusri..." He said and looked at her. She was staring at him, holding her chin between her right thumb and index.

"Kitna dard hota hoga jab .44 caliber ki bullet seedha arm me lagti hogi" Sameeksha said tapping on chin, "aur usse bhi zada dard tab hota hoga jab koi uss hi arm pe zor se punch maare, right?" She said with a huge smile.

"Ouch" Shahveer said holding his arm. "Exactly! Aur agar yeh dard nhi chahiye to get out" Sameeksha said pointing towards the door. Shahveer was about to say something in his favour when Bandana came in.

"Chit-chat khatam ho geyi ho to kucch kaam karle?" Bandana asked. Sameeksha concentrated on her work, while Shahveer stood up and waited for Bandana's order.

"Right, so" Bandana started, "Shahveer, rehne ka koi thikana hai?" She asked. "Ammi-Abbu to Delhi me rehte hai. Choti Khala Allahbad me rehti hai. Badi Khala Jammu me hai..." He said and was still saying. "Mene tumhara poocha hai!" Bandana said.

"Oh, naah mera to koi thikana nhi" He finally said. Bandana rolled her eyes. "Fine, tum Headquarters me rahoge hamare saath. Samaan shift krlo" She finished.

At night...
Bandana was smiling while looking at something on her phone. She was smiling and looking away, then again smiling and again looking away. Sameeksha was laying, resting her head on Bandana's lap.

"Itna mat taarh usko, aankho se balatkaar kareghi kya bechare ka?" Sameeksha asked Bandana.

"Shut up" Bandana said. This was the real Sameeksha-Bandana bond.

Bandana was looking at the new pictures that her celebrity crush Rohit Negi posted. At this point, Rohit was not just a crush, he was the person that Bandana loved and wanted to spend her life with.
She was looking at each and every part of Rohit's face, it seemed like she was trying to find an imperfection in his face.

She sighed and gave up. "Bandana...time waste mat kar" Sameeksha said. Sameeksha knew the reality, she knew that Bandana can never become Bandana Rohit Negi. Bandana was never ready to accept this reality, but somewhere inside even she knew that there was 0.01% possibility of her getting married to Rohit, and this was the possibility that was keeping her alive.
