Two days later, evening-
The officers are busy the whole day. New case gets solved very soon. Naveen is ready to leave along with his colleagues when he hears someone calling him.
"Naveen sir!"
"Mobina.."
"uff sir! Thank god you didn't went...this is the novel that you asked.."
"yes thank you Mobina...Where you got this novel!"
"I searched whole Mumbai sir." (smiles)
(feels touched) "but what is the need to take that much burden?"
"It is needed sir. You only Sai that you are not only my senior but a friend.."
"Right.. but seriously thank you Mobina!"
"It's OK sir. There is no thank you and sorry again and friendship (while seeing watch) ok sir time to go! See you tomorrow sir.."
"bye Mobina.."
"bye sir.. good night!"
She leaves and he watches her retreating form with a smile. Such a sweet girl she is…
Few minutes later-
He reaches parking lot to get into his car when he hears her talking with Harshitha, Saryu and other girls.
Harshitha-"Mobina! your birthday is coming. What special are you planning?"
Mobina- "Dear Harshitha, plan should be done by you guys. Won't you guys give me any gift?"
Saryu- "Mobina mam I we tell you now there will be no fun. Surprise you know.."
Mobina smiles at this.
Mobina- "Saryu, not Mobina mam only Mobina…"
"oh haan sorry I forgot.." (Saryu smiles)
Harshitha(cheerfully)-"What gift does our Mobina wants.."
Naveen decides to hear closely. If she could search the whole city and get a book for him, he too needs to do something right?
Mobina (mischievously)-"Will you give? haan? l want a secret admirer! Hahaa"
Mobina laughs while the girls oohh-and-ahh. Naveen is surprised but listens closely..
Mobina(continued)-"On every birthday l think that why should l always receive gifts from the people l know. They give me their gifts by writing their names and in boring packages. On every birthday l think that...what will happen when l receive gift from an unknown person."
Harshita-"wow baby cool idea."
Mobina-"I know Harshitha. I mean till now it didn't happen… but it doesn't mean that l should leave my hopes, right?"
*all pouts and then laughs*
"girls let's continue our discussion in WhatsApp. l think it may rain."
Harshita reminds everyone and the girls drive off with Suhasini who joins them with her car.
Naveen stands there thinking… they were friends; all though their interactions were mostly formal. But yeah they cared for each other n always there to support each other… so yes he can call her a friend.
'Just this much small wish! What if we are not close friends. I will complete your wish.'
His other colleagues call him and he leaves bureau along with them. A long day ends.
