A dance

" Then, let's leave in the evening. Besides, we will stay in touch with them, all thanks to the gadgets invented by Newstein of yours. Even without tech and all." Saheed replied and Kia nodded.

After having one-on-one discussion, they went inside the house, lecked the home completely and went to basement, where everyone were… enjoying the snack party.

The music was beaming in little high volume, which weren't escaping out of the room. All the people were dancing on the floor, as for chair, table and sofa, they had been adjusted near the walls of the basement. Everyone were showing their crazy dance moves. Zunaid was having sandwitches in his hand, while dancing. Riya as if affected badly by his company, was holding the glass of juice in her hand, while loosing herself to the music.

This was the scene, which Kia and Saheed witnessed, making one's jaw almost drop to the ground. While another person carries a little smile on his face, while closing the jaws of little girl.

But everytime, he shut her jaw, they wil drop involuntarily. It was like this little girl, got a big shock which definitely wasn't easy to digest.Making Saheed to smile more.

" Close your mouth, Saheeda begum. Or else, the fly will enter in your mouth." Saheed said in a low magentic whisper, near her ear, while leaning to get to her level.

Only them she stare at the guy next to her and closed her mouth, earning a chuckle from him. Then,she again stare at the scenario in front. Daeng! They even arraged the disco lights to give that feel. Well, it defintely has something to do with Zunaid and Shiva, who were using their laptops, from time to time as DJ apparatus.

" Wanna join?" Kia asked the aloof agent, not knowing how exactly she should respond.

He just simply shake his head, as if not want to be part of this childishness of his team. But as if there exists a thing, that he doesn't want to do and Kia just spare him to do that.

" Why?" Her perstering started.

" Oh! The Great Agent S, can't dance! Is it?" She added.

" Come on, you don't have to be a dancer to dancer. Just let the beat carries you and control your body, that's all."She said with that 1000 year old wisdom fellow expression.

" Or, it might be, because, your body is too rigid for the agile, flexible dancing moves."She countered.

" Or, because you are too old to dance." She queried.

" Oh! Or are you scared of stage? Do you have a stage fright?"Thus, the person who really wanted to act like a bystander and watch everyone enjoying from the sidelines,once again lost all his years of patience in front of this little kid's pestering.

" I can dance. But i don't want to." He finally opened his mouth and wasted his precious words on her.

" Hahaha, who would believe that? If you can, then show me." Kia challenged him just like that, making him to grit his teeth. Hell, he used to dance, when he was a little kid, and when he used to visit his grandparents house. And that too for fun. As his family was superstrict.

So, it leads him to have cold, aloof personality. But his grandparents, they would pamper him, cherish him, spoil him, love him. So, there he used to open up to himself and that was the time, when he would dance, sing, play the flute, or mouth organ, or harmonium, or tabla, as his grandmother was fond of music.

He even made many friends, he used to go to nearby river to swim with them, he learned to climb up and down on trees, to get fruits, he learned many outdoor games and many… many things.

But that was only till, he turned 12. As, after that his family started nurturing him into a good citizen of the country and the strict-teaching followed up. After that, he never ever dance, sing, play musical instruments, games or do any of the thing of the past. Leading those memories of his childhood with his grandparents in summer and winter vacation as his golden memories.

Now, here a little girl was standing in front of him, with a challenge to dance. As an agent, he can't back down from this challenge. But dance. It was really something, he thought he can't do, at least in front of everyone. It was his hesitation, that was stopping him from leveling up.

Kia, as a doctor, took his each and every expression into consideration, then for the first time, probably, she hold his wrist, with her little hand, which wasn't enough to hold his wrist completely in her grasp, then she lead him out of the room, where everyone were busy and nobody noticed either their arrival or their departure.

She took him to the nearby room, where it was all quite and calm. He followed her obediently. Then, she left his wrist, vanishing the warmth he was enjoying till now, on his wrist. The reason why he was smiling. Well, he was smiling, because even her hand was little like her. Yet, she was holding him, with that little hand, those little fingers of her.

She went to certain place, then remove the covers, in the complete white room, soon a window appear, after the covers were removed. Well, she had seen it, when she brought those hostages.

She opened the window, little bit. And the blasting music fall on their ears. Then she grinned widely while starring at him. As if saying, 'now there's no one. You can dance.'

While he stare back at her, as if saying. ' You are still here.'

She gazed back at him, with little displeasure, as if saying ; ' Because I challenged you.'

Making him to sigh, as if saying; 'Fine.'

She thought, he might show some special dance of Country P. Or certain BTS moves or Michale Jackson's moves or something like that. But… to her utmost surprise, he just came in her direction. Then stopped just two steps back. Then like a gentleman he is, he extended his hand in front of her, after which he actually said, to Kia's utmost surprise ; " Saheeda begum, May i have the honour to dance with you?"

K just blink for few minutes. Fine. That was what, Saheed want, he just want her to reject him, then they can go and resume their work. But… how could a doctor like Kia not know about that. Here the problem is, despite knowing what he was planning to do, she has to follow his script.

After all, they were agents. Sworn enemy on top. It would be better, if they place some limits in between them and don't cross them, at any or all cost. Because, they know, the consequences of crossing these limits, very well.

" I am sorry." She replied, backing down gradually. He thought, he would be happy, as he doesn't have to dance. But he wasn't. If more, then he felt hurt, because he wanted her to say Yes for god knows what reasons.

" Saheeda Begum. Let's forget about our enmity for once. Let's just act like a normal people for once." Kai said, making Saheeda to face him, his hand was still there, telling her to grasp it, to hold it.

She could tell, this must have been a great change, she might have seen in this fellow's personality till now, or might see in future.

"Kai. I didn't expect you to be this passionate about dancing." She replied with a cute smile of her, lightening the intense atmosphere around them. As for him,it took him few blinks to adjust. Well, this girl's smile is fatal, that even he admits.

" Well, that I am." Subconsciously, he admitted. Making her smile to bigger than before.

" Alright." She said with smile, then hold his hand, for the dance. As if, even the music shuffling was in their favour. Soon, Bad Liar by Imagine Dragons started playing in the background. As for the junky homies, for them be it sad song, happy song or anything. They were still dancing happily. As for them only dance matters, not the song.

Zunaid and Shiva form their couple to dance, while Riya and Nazma did the same. So, the girl formed a couple and so did the boys.

Leaving only Kia and Saheed to form a couple, who were alone in a separate room. Firstly, they started with some forward and backward step, but then soon the song caught some speed and they started twist and twirl. Their eyes never leaving each other. His one hand holding her tiny waist tightly, while another holding her little hand in his big one, little tightly.

Her one hand was on his shoulder for support, while another was in his big,warm hand. The moment the song reach it's peak.. their dance steps also started getting from simple to complicated, beautiful, elegant one.
