Author's Note : I used to hate Rocky but I've realized that I was wrong. In CID B.P. Singh showed us only the bad sides of Rocky but there's a lot more to be seen from that. If you can analize his charecter then you will find out in his every activity there's something moral. By the way Poesia-Raro told me the good sides of Rocky & she's the one who inspired me to write a *Rockstar*...
About *Rocky*

So here it is, *Rockstar*. Hope you like it.
Disregarding Tarika's objections her friends made her to visit "Agra" with them. At last when she said yes, all her friends thanked God a thousand times at least. After they had returned from there Tarika was very much stable. She didn't think about the past anymore. A couple of days later at the evening while Tarika was on her way home suddenly somebody bumped into her car. She stopped the car immediately & went out to see if the person was hurt. She found him unconscious. As it was dark there she couldn't see his face but she could feel him bleeding a lot. The road was empty & quite. So she decided to take him to the hospital. When she took him to the hospital & saw his face she practically got a heart attack thinking that it was Abhijit. But then she saw the scar and realized that it was Rocky. Her mind was full of questions but she decided to wait till he had recovered. So she waited.
After sometimes doctor came out & said,"Abhi wo khatre se bahar hai. Aap kaal subah inhe ghar le ja sacte hai. Lekin chot kaafi gehra hai toh aap ko unka bohot acche se dhyaan rakhna hoga".
"Thank you doctor", she replied & went inside the cabin & sat beside him.
Then when rocky got up and saw her, at first he thought he was dreaming as he was not fully awake then. Later when he realized it was truly her he couldn't believe his own eyes. It was Tarika herself sitting next to him. He tried to get up & sit but she didn't let him do it.
"Tum lete raho. Tumhe aram ki jarurat hai", she said. "Kaal subah doctors tumhe discharge kar denge", she added.
"Tum mujhe yahan kyun leke ayi ho? CID ko sopne ki liye?" he said harshly.
"Dekho Rocky, CID se mera koi wasta nahi hai. In fact mujhe toh pata bhi nahi tha ki tum ho. Wo toh tum meri gaari ki niche aa gaye iss liye main tumhe yahan le ayi", she said angryly.
"Mujhe tumhari daya ki koi jarurat nahi hai. Apna khayaal main khud rakh sacta hoon".
"Mujhe wo pata hai aur waise bhi main tumhe daya nahi dikha rahi hoon. Ye main baas insaaniyat ki naate kar rahi hoon", Tarika replied.
"Mujhe kisi CID wali ki insaaniyat bhi nahi chahia. Tum mujhe yahan leke ayi uski liya thanks. Ab jaao yahan se".
"Mujhe bhi kisi criminal ki thanks nahi chahia. Kaal doctors tumhe discharge kar denge uski baad koi daya ya insaaniyat nahi dikhaungi. Ye mera farj hai iss liya main abhi bhi yahan hoon warna kab ki chali jati. Main koi khaali nahi baithi hoon. Tumse jiada kaam na mujhe hai", they argued until the doctor entered the room. The doctor checked him & advised him to take complete rest for at least a week. He gave Tarika a prescription & asked her to bring the medicines.
"Doctor ye medicines jaroori hai kya?" Rocky interrupt.
"Haan bilkul. Agar jaroori nahi hota toh main thodi na prescribe kyun karta !" doctor replied.
Rocky was about to say something but, "Tum do minute chup nahi reh sacte? Baad main de dena mujhe paise", Tarika stopped him & went out to bring the medicines.
The next morning Rocky got discharged from the hospital & Tarika took him with her to her house. Though he didn't want to come but she forced because the doctor told her to look after him carefully & he wasn't stable enough to look after himself well. And also she thought that it was a matter of just a week. So she didn't bother.
When they reached her house he felt dizzy again and Tarika took him to the guest room & made him lie down & after a while he slept off & only then she noticed his scar. She saw it earlier, but only then she was seeing it really up close and it didn't look like a burn or any kind of accident. So when he woke up he found her sitting beside & staring at him. It made him feel awkward.
"Aise kya dekh rahi ho? Main tumhari pati ya boyfriend nahi hoon", Rocky said.
She ignored him. "Ye scar! ye koi accident nahi lag raha. Kya hua tha?" she asked.
"Tumhe kya? Apni kaam se kaam rakho", he replied.
"Itna bhao kyun kha rahi ho! Batao na", she forced him to speak up & after a while he told her that after a while he started getting really irritated when people mistook him for abhijeet and he wanted at least SOMETHING of his own, to make him different so he cut the scar on his own face. She just looked at him and said," You know you're really something else. Tum Abhijit jaise dikhte toh ho lekin usse bilkul alag ho".
He felt kinda awkward hearing these from Tarika cause he liked her but didn't want to show it cause he thought that even if she liked him back it would be only because he had Abhijit's face.
"Tum ya toh khud jao yahan se ya phir mujhe apni ghar wapas jaane do. Prashaan kyun kar rahi ho?" he complained with disturbance.
"Mera ghar hai main kuch bhi karoon, tumhe kya!" she replied.
"Raho na tum apni ghar pe main né kab mana kiya. Ek baat batao aaj mujh pe itni hamdardi kyun jata rahi ho? Hospital le gayi, waha se apni ghar le ayi...kyun?" he said as he was eager to know the answers from her.
"Maine tumhe pehle bhi iska jawaab diya hai", she stood up.
"Jhoot pakadna sirf Abhijit ko hi nahi ata. Main nahi jaanta tum dono ki beech kya hua hai, lekin tum mujhe bata sacti ho", he said softly. "Tum shayeet mujhe pasand nahi karti lekin main tumhe bohot pasand karta hoon. Tum apni problems mujhe bata sacti ho", he stopped & realized what he just said. Tarika stared at him with widely open eyes.
"Mera wo matlab nahi tha...main..wo", he mumbled.
"Tum araam karo", saying this she quickly left the room & Rocky felt like to bang his head on the wall.
"Do minute chup nahi baith sacta tha. Rockyyy! kya kar diya tu né! Pata nahi kya soch rahi hogi... Bolne se pehle ek baar soch toh liya hota", he was blaming himself.
On the other side Tarika was thinking about what Rocky said. She would take it easily if he didn't get embarrass & start mumbling.
"Tarika, wo ek criminal hai jō sirf Abhijit jaisa dikhta hai aur kuch nahi. Bol diya hoga aise hi. Just don't panic", she thought to herself. "Aur waise bhi ek hafte ki hi toh baat hai, uski baad chala jayega. So just chill".
Five days passed & Rocky was feeling better than before. So he told Tarika that he wanted to leave. Tarika also wanted him to leave but when he actually left she started feeling bad, lonely & she was really missing his presence. She thought it was because he had Abhijit's face but it was actually not the thing. Within just five days she felt Rocky was not a bad person from heart. He just needed someone to guide him. He was something else. Though he was a criminal he had a heart, which could trust someone he didn't even know well, which could feel someone else's pain & could console them. He was completely different from Abhijit. All of a sudden she decided to become the guide which Rocky needed. She thought of him with affection. Suddenly she felt this was the guy she was waiting for this long.

"Tarika, meri ek baat samajh main nahi aa raha ki tumhe Rocky kyun chahia?" Rajat asked anxiously.
"Tum meri madat karoge ya nahi?" she asked.
"Wajah toh batao taab jaroor madat karungi".
"Main kuch nahi bataungi. Tumhe meri help karna hai ya nahi?"
"Theek hai!" he replied. Tarika sighed. She then walked out the coffee shop & went to Forensic lab. A couple of days later Rajat called her & gave her Rocky's address. Tarika went to meet him on the given address. When Rocky found Tarika standing outside his door he was completely shocked. It was really unexpected to him. Tarika came inside & looked around the house. It wasn't a house, actually it was a small room full of bunch of stuffs, most of the stuffs were unnecessary. She sat on a chair at a corner.
"Yahan bed pe baitho. Uss chair ki paiya tuta hua hai", Rocky warned her. So she walked to the bed & sat there.
"Yahan kyun ayi ho? Aur mera address kahan se mila tumko?" he said.
"Kahin se bhi mila ho wo jaroori nahi hai. Main tumhe yahan se le jaane ayi hoon Rocky".
"Mujhe?!" he laughed. "Kyun mujhe kaha le jaogi? Aur kyun? Ye ghar pasand nahi aya?"
"Dekho Rocky, pechle kuch dino main, mein né tumhe jitna dekha usse mujhe lagta hai tum shyeet bure insaan nahi ho. Tumhe baas ek dost ki jarurat hai jō tumhe samjhe, tumhe sahi raasta dikaye. Aur Rocky main wo karna chati hoon. Tum bure nahi ho. Ye baat toh main samajh gayi", Tarika explained. "Aur main wo dost banna chati hoon, wo saathi banna chati hoon".
Rocky looked at her. He had disbelief in his eyes. Is this the girl who always fought for Abhijit? Yes, it is she & now she wants to fight for him. He was lost in his thoughts.
"Mujhe ekk mauka toh deke dekho. Please!" he banged out of his thoughts & she looked straight into his eyes.
"Thik hai", he agreed." Lekin mere ye samajh main nahi aa raha ki tum ye sab kyun kar rahi ho?" Tarika didn't reply to his question.
So Rocky shifted to Tarika's house. First few days he used to feel uncomfortable & awkward but later he got used to it. But when Tarika's friends, specially Rajat & Mohit came to know that Rocky was staying at Tarika's house they tried their best to make her understand that Rocky was not a good person & she should throw him out of her house. But she told them to stay away from Rocky. She won't tolerate a word against him.
A few months later, Rocky was almost out of his dreadful past & now he leads a happy & pleasant life. He couldn't stop himself to thank Tarika & when he thanked Tarika she used to give him a long lecture & he enjoyed it. Within these months they had become really good friends though Rocky & Tarika both liked each other but never got opportunity to speak up about their feelings. And both of them were waiting for the right time & suddenly one day they had got the chance.
Tarika was returning from lab at the evening. Suddenly a girl bumped into her car & she stopped the car. The moment she came out she saw that there was no girl in front of the car. She was surprised but as she was a forensic doctor & didn't believe in supernatural things she thought it was her obsessed mind which made her feel like that. She was about to get back in the car when three or four goons surrounded her. She felt really terrified. Those goons laughed horribly. They approached to her & she was stepping back. Her face became pale. One of them tried to touch her face. She tried to escape but they didn't let her go. All of a sudden from God knows where Rocky came & slapped that man who tried to misbehave with Tarika. They all attacked him at once but he defended himself. After sometimes all the goons ran away cause they saw some police officers coming. After they left Rocky went to Tarika, who was standing & was shivering & all of sudden she started crying. Rocky tried to console her & she put her head on his chest & hold him tightly & kept crying. Rocky also hold her tight. When the police reached Rocky explained everything. So they let them go & advised them to be careful & left.

They reached home. Tarika was still upset. She couldn't believe that it actually happened with her. If Rocky wouldn't reached there on time...she just couldn't think more. Just then Rocky entered the room with two mugs of coffee in his hand. He sat next to her & handed over one mug to her. She took the mug & kept looking at it.
"Coffee thanda ho raha hai", Rocky said. Tarika looked up & took a sip.
"Rocky kya main thodi der akeli reh sacti hoon? Please!" Tarika said.
Rocky looked at her for sometimes. "Yeah, sure", he replied & he left the room.
After Rocky left Tarika put the mug on the table & leaned against the pillows & closed her eyes. Everything that happened a while ago just flashed before her eyes. She woke up hastily & ran to Rocky's room. She knocked the door & when he opened the door she hugged him very tightly as if she had loosed her grip he'd get away. First Rocky was surprised at the sudden change of her behavior but then he also hugged her back, as tight as he could.
