AU. So, read at your own risk. People who can't imagine the characters out of CID please stay away. This is very old concept of mine but I never penned it down. And now, when I'm finally doing it I don't know how frequently I can give you updates after December. But, let's enjoy the story for now. After all, kal kisne dekha hai? ;P

Tere Mere Dil

A crowded bar. Time, half past twelve at midnight. A man was dancing, rocking the dance floor with girls with an empty glass in his hand. He didn't want to leave the floor that early but he made himself to. The reasons were two. One, his glass was empty and he had to get more drink. And second, his friend cum brother was sitting alone on bar stool with a tensed and irritated look.

Not having any other options he moved to the bar counter and sat beside his friend.

''What is the purpose of your face?'' He asked his friend mimicking a line from the animation movie 'Home'.

''What is the purpose of your existence?'' His friend snapped at him.

''To serve the world.'' He said dramatically.

''Stupid.'' His friend looked away from him and sipped from his drink.

''Okay, jokes apart. Now tell me, what the matter is?''

''Buy me a drink first.''

''All drinks are on me. Ab toh bata.''

His friend's phone started to ring which was kept on the counter.

''Pick up your phone. Aunty ka phone hai.''

''Mujhe bat nahi karni unse.''

''Yaar Abhijeet make it short already. Khich mat. Bat kya hai bata.''

''Drink nahi karna tujhe or?''

''Nahi. Kal case ki sunwai hai.''

''Kon si?''

''That Shilpa murder case.''

''Tujhe taiyari nahi karni?''

''Kis chiz ki taiyari bhai?''

''Daya, wo movie wagera mei dikhate hai na…''

''Movie wagera mei toh kuch bhi dikhate hai. And kal bus sunwai hai. We have already won the case. And hence, one more success has been sealed upon 'Sahay Law farm'.'' Daya said it dramatically.

''Tu kuch khas khush nahi lag raha isse!''

''Apnehi bap ke law farm mei I am working as a mere Junior lawyer. Unki usoli ki toh aisi ki taisi.''

''This case was tough. Sayad ab mil jai kuch acha position.''

''Hope so."

''And agar nahi bhi mila toh… kuch sal bad jab uncle retire karenge toh wo farm toh terahi hone wala hai na.'' Abhijeet said borely and ordered another drink, ''one more.''

''Abbey bas kar. It's going beyond your limit now.''

Abhijeet didn't pay heed to Daya and started drinking.

''Subha uthna nahi hai Mr Kapoor apko? The MD of K enterprise?''

''I wish ki uthna nahi hota.''

''Tu kab se yesab bolne ko lag gaya! I mean Mr Abhijeet Kapoor, the most eligible bachelor of Mumbai… wo jisne K enterprise ko itni unchain mei le gaya wo bhi bas two and a half years mei.''

''Tu tariff kar raha hai ya tane mar raha hai mujhe?'' Abhijeet glared at his best buddy.

''Tarif hi tha.. agar tujhe tana laga toh I can't do anything about it.'' Daya shrugged earning a glare from his friend.

''Most eligible bachelor,'' Abhijeet repeated and then chuckled, ''Huh! My foot.''

''Damn! Uncle aunty ne tere liye larki pasand kar li kya?'' Daya was excited.

''Tu kya khush ho raha hai? Or tujhe keisey pata?"

''Arey last week mai ghar aya tha na toh Aunty keh rahi thi mujhse. Puch bhi rahi thi tujhe koi pasand hai ya nahi.''

''Tune kya kaha?''

''Maine kaha, nahi… tere last girlfriend se break up huye one year ho gaya.. n uske sath kuch serious toh tha nahi tera. I mean jab se tune Uncle ka business join kia hai tabse teri GF toh teri kam hi hai na. And main kya kehta hu, tujhe ab shadi kar leni chahiye. Tujh jeisey work holic se toh ab love marriage hone se raha.. toh arrange hi kar le. Or ajkal arrange kaha hota hai kuch bhi. Shadi wadi fix hone ke bad date wate kar lena.''

''Tu chup rahega,'' Abhijeet roared, '' or ye dating wating kuch nahi hone wala hai. Use date word ka meaning bhi paata hoga ki nahi I doubt it.''

''What?''

''Yaar Maa Baba village gai hai… or waha unhe unki bachpan ki dost ki beti mil gai.. ab meri shadi wo uss gawar se karwana chahte hai.''

''Yaar aise mat bol..''

''Tujhe meri bolne ki tarike ki pari hai!''

''It's totally unfair I know. Par Uncle Aunty ne pasand kia hoga toh kuch soch ke hi kia hoga.''

''Oh God Daya tu samajh raha hai! Uski or meri life style… match hi nahi karta. Maa Baba pagal ho gai hai. Kisi ko bhi bahu bana ke le ainge kya?''

''Yaar wo chahte hai shadi ho.. shadi fix toh nahi kar diya na.''

''Tu kehna kya chahta hai?''

''Dekh, simple si baat hai. Tere parents chahte hai ki tu use miley toh tu milley na. Pasand ai toh shadi kar lena,' 'said Daya which earned him a tough glare from his business tycoon buddy, but he continued, '' or agar nahi ai toh keh dena ki pasand nahi aai.''

''Tujhe etna simple lag raha hai yesab?''

''Ismei muskiley kaha dikhai de rahi hai tujhe yaar?''

''Wo dono bachpan ke dost hai.. you know, what's called in hindi.. Er… yeah langotiya yaar. Emotional blackmail karne lagenge.''

''Toh ladki ko samjha dena.''

''Mujhse shadi karne keliye kon inkar kar sakta hai yaar? I mean just look at me.''

Daya rolled his eyes.

''Bohot aisi ladkia hogi jisey tujhmei koi interest nahi hogi okay. Etna bhaw mat kha.''

''Haan.. kuch pagal, bewakuf toh hogi hi.''

''Track mei atey hai. Tu kal village chala ja. Mil le ladki se. Bad mei dekhte hai baki sab kuch.''

''Par..''

''Par war kuch nahi. Tub hi keh raha tha na ki you need a break from work. Isse acha break nahi milne wala tujhe. Apne bachpan ke gaw mei ja raha hai tu yaar. You know ketne yadey honge tere waha!''

''7 saal ka tha mai jab ham sabne Canada mei move kia tha. Mujhe kuch khas yaad nahi hai.''

''Waha jaiga na toh yaad ajaiga.''

''Tujhe bari pari hai mujhe yaha se bhejne ki..'' Abhijeet raised his one eyebrow at Daya.

''Tere waja se meri setting kharap ho rahi hai,'' said Daya looking at a girl.

''Maaf kar de bhai. Tu ja. Main thik hu yaha.''

''No, pehle tujhe taxi taq chodunge tab.''

''But…''

''No but.. come on.'' Daya dragged Abhijeet out of the bar forcefully.

''Drinks ke paise… '' said Abhijeet.

''Mai de dunga.'' Daya pushed Abhijeet inside the taxi and gave taxi Driver his address.

''Phone karta hu mai subha. Jo kaha hai yaad rakhna.'' Daya shouted as the taxi left.
