"I am ashamed, Rabail.I shouldn't have treated you like this."Arbaz squeaked.
"Its all right ,Sir."
Call me Arbaz .Don't be so formal now."
"Arbaz,it wasn't a big deal.Infact your condemnation helped me grow more ,to become proficient in this field.Arbaz was still looking in her eyes.
"You ...you are capable and you proved it.You ..you are different.I mean ....you ...have invested your skills in the right deal, "he captioned with a slight stutter.
"That's it or you want to tell more,"she smirked.She was enjoying how he was not able to say what he wanted to.
"No,actually....its nothing."he again faltered.
The struggle was actually genuine. Perhaps when the component involved is your feelings.
"Ok then",said Rabail ,"let's go.We are already late.The lunch break is long been over."
"Ok!perhaps next time,Arbaz mumbled.
And yes it was next time. The thing between two of them was very clear now.Arbaz was still amazed that how someone sneak into your life,and toss it so much that you don't even get the idea when you are head to toe in love with that person.How feelings swap themselves up ,how hatred turns into love and love into hatred.Arbaz ,who had forgot to smile now began to laugh .A shell of grimness that he had adopted was now peeled off .On the other side,Rabail was also uncertain to find someone she felt a bond with.When knot of friendship ties into love , no one gets the idea how it happened .Untangling the thread of happiness and love form the enmeshed bundle of her life ,she felt conquering the whole world .
Someone called her name.Rabail snapped open her eyes .The white screen first reshaped into smoke and then vanished.She saw her office cabin and the same cup of coffee but now it was cold.Rabail turned back .
"Hey,where are you lost? stunning ,clever and facetious,she was Saphira.Saphira had recently joined the agency but her jolliness and smartness had soon gained her a place in everyone's heart like Rabail.No one felt she is a new comer It seemed that she was working here for years.
"It seems you too are in thoughts of someone special."
Rabail didn't nullify her ,instead she asked "What do you mean by me too?"
Saphira smirked,"It means that Sir Arbaz is also indulged in sea of thoughts."
Rabail couldn't smile.
"No,Saphira .He is actually worried about the case."
Saphira swallowed.But she didn't change her pitch.
"Oh ,that case.Yeah it's a very tricky case.Such clever dick.I can understand your situation,"said Saphira with a solicitous voice.
Saphira had the talent to have any news she wanted without the other person getting her real expressions.Whether it was Saphira's nature or Rabail's emptiness that Rabail had developed a sort of congeniality with her.Actually Saphira had always filled the space in her life so Rabail treated her like a sister.Saphira cast a spell that whomever he or she was ,just a moment passed and they could not get how they were so frank with her whereas they had met just now for the first time.
"You are right ,Saphira.The thing detaining us is they have their snitch among us ,their stringer,reporting them every inch of our moves"
"Oh,"she sighed. "I wish we catch him soon."
Rabail nodded.
" Hye ,"she said on picking up the phone.
"Hye!thank God you picked up the phone."he talked in a hurry.
"What is the situation there"he asked.
"Don't worry. Everything under control,"spoke up the feminine voice.
"But will not be for a longer time.We got raided twice while the shipping."
"Woman,you should device a plan to get rid off these agents.That spoiled brats are just blocking our way,"he spit the betel.
"I am doing it.You don't know those clever foxes are not that easy to handle."
"Ok,let me know as soon as possible. And don't forget what you are there for.Just don't let me down."
"Ok.ok .I got it.Just handle the transports.I will handle them,"she cut off the phone and smacked it on sofa."
"The one thing that will never change is the tone of this despicable man,"she thought disheartedly.
