The bureau had a silent environment. Everyone was busy in the work. Suddenly, the door opened and a beautiful lady came in. She was wearing a black mini dress over her slender body. Her eyes were brinjal purple. It is unique so was the girl.
Daya, Shreya and Kavin had a wide smile. Shreya and the girl ran to each other and shared a tight hug. Daya and Kavin were surprised.
Shreya (in the hug): Jia, I missed you, darling.
Jia (separating): I missed you too, sweetheart.
The two boys too came there. Jia gave a quick side hug to both.
Daya (surprised): Shreya, tum Jia ko jaanti ho?
Shreya (smiled): Sir, main aur Jia college mein ek saath the, streams alag thi par best friends the. College ke baad bhi kabhi kabaar mil jaate the par ab toh time hi nhi milta hai. She is busy with technology and I am busy with criminals. (confused): Wiase aap dono Jia ko kaise jaante hai?
Jia (held Daya's arm): Yeh mere bade bhai hai. (pointing to Kavin) And he is my fiancé.
Shreya was surprised.
Shreya (fake anger): Very nice, you got a man and even didn't bother to tell me. Good. Yeh bhi nhi btaya ki Daya sir tere bhai hai (dramatically) Haan, akhir hoon kaun main teri.
All smiled.
Jia (hugged her from behind): Tu toh meri girlfriend hai, ab bhul gyi na btana. Sorry na.
Jia turned Shreya by her shoulder. Jia held her own ears and made a puppy face.
Shreya couldn't help but chuckle. She removed Jia's hand from her ears.
Shreya (fake strictness): Is baar maaf kar diya, par agar ab kucch chhipaya na toh tera muh phor dungi. Is that clear?
Jia (officer tone): Yes ma'am.(to lighten the situation) Waise bhi mujhe mera chehra bahut pyaara hai, tera haath pda na toh khud ko nhi pehchan paungi.
The two laughed.
Daya (fake sadness): Haan- haan, dost mil gyi toh bhai ko bhul gyi. Yaad nhi kaise hum orphanage mein saath- saath khelte the.
Jia sighed.
Jia (to Shreya): Shreya, dekhle, mere bhai na tujhse bade dramebaaz hai. (to Daya): Bhai, aapko toh meri yaad bhi nhi aati, Shreya toh tabh bhi mujhe call karti rehti hai. You are very bad.
Daya (convincing her): Are yaar, sorry na. (to divert the topic): Waise aaj tu aane wali thi, btaya kyun nhi?
Jia (narrowing eyes): Nice topic change (Daya smiled sheepishly) Aur main aane wali thi, yeh maine Purvi ko btaya tha.
All looked at Purvi.
Purvi (shrugged her shoulder): Mujhe laga ki sabko surprise mil jaaye ga.
All smiled.
Shreya (to Jia): Darling, kal tu mere ghar aa jana, as planned like always.
Daya (confused): Shreya, tumhe toh pta hi nhi than a ki Jia aa rhi hai? Fir yeh planning?
Shreya (smiled): Sir, main aur Jia jab bhi milte hai, toh poore do din ke liye har time saath mein rehte hai. Is baar bhi.
Jia (excited): Aur is baar main bureau bhi aa sakti hoon, kyunki mujhe Salukhe sir se training leni hai, toh yaha aayi hoon.
Shreya (jumped out of happiness): That's greta (hugged her) Love you.
All smiled.
Jia (naughtily): Waise Shreya, koi mila? (Shreya didn't answer but turned red) Oho! Matlab hai na hai na, bolo bolo.
Shreya (blushed): Jia! Aisa kucch nhi hai, so just shut up.
Jia winked at her and she turned away.
The team had a chit chat with their new member and she left after few minutes with Daya.
In Daya's house,\The two were sitting and sipping coffee.
Jia (suddenly): Bhai, meri bhabhi mili kya?
Daya looked at her and saw the naughty smile.
Daya (blushed): Jia, aisa kucch nhi hai.
Jia (suspiciously): Achha, ab yahi baat mere sar par haath rakh kar boliye.
Daya looked at her with a jerk.
Daya (deep breath): Haan ek hai. (he stood up and went to the window) Lekin mujhe uski feelings nhi pta.
Jia (naughtily): Kaun hai voh khushnasib?
Daya (smiled at her): Shreya.
Jia (surprised): Shreya! (he nodded) Oh god bhai! (happily) I am so happy.
Daya (sighed): Lekin pta nhi ki voh mere bare mein kya sochti hai.
Jia (got an idea): Ek tarika hai, pta lagan eke.
Daya (raised his eyebrow): Kya?
Jia (smirked): Agar, aap mere jagah aa jao toh.
Daya (confused): Matlab?
Jia smiled naughtily.
In a lab,
Jia took Daya there. They had a big machine with two chambers in front of them.
Daya (confused): Jia, yeh kya hai?
Jia (smiled): Yeh ek soul changer hai, isse aapki soul mere andar aa jayegi aur meri soul aapke ander. Phir kal aap Shreya ke saath aur main aapki jagah. Haan, lekin ise sirf chaubis ghante ke liye kar sakte hai, phir aapki soul apni body mein wapas aa jayegi.
Daya (surprised): Yeh tere paas kaise aayi?
Jia (smiled): Bhai, ise maine hi banaya hai.
Daya smiled and they went back.
Next day, early morning they came back and exchanged their souls.
In Shreya's house, (I am taking the name of the souls)
Shreya opened the door and immediately hugged Daya.
Shreya (sweetly): Hello, darling.
Daya too wrapped her hands around Shreya, hesitantly.
Daya (trying to behave normally): Hi.
Shreya separated.
Shreya (smiled): Good morning sir.
Jia (smiled): Good morning, Shreya.
Daya looked at Jia, impressed by the acting.
Shreya (smiled): Chaliye, aaplog breakfast kar lijiye, main zara fresh hokar aati hoon.
Jia (denying): Are nhi Shreya, mujhe kahi jana hai, aur late ho rha hai, toh main chalta hoon.
Shreya (understanding): Ok sir.
The two went inside.
Daya was too hesitant to be with Shreya for the first time.
Shreya (angrily): Jia, why didn't you tell me about your engagement.
Daya (confused): Kais engagement?
Shreya (shocked): What do you mean? Kavin sir se tum engaged ho.
Daya (realized): acha haan (innocently): Sorry bola than a.
Shreya (melted): Accha okay, waise love hai ya arranged?
Daya (fake blush): Love.
Shreya (naughtily): Oho! Waise sir toh humesha tere saath hi rehte honge?
Daya nodded shyly (acted)
Shreya (naughtily): Aur kareeb aane ki koshish bhi karte honge?
Daya was shocked. Oh God! They forgot about Kavin and Jia's relationship.
Shreya (naughtily): Bol.
Daya (trying to behave normal): Aisa kucch nhi hai.
Shreya (naughtily): Acha! (hurriedly): Abhi teri khabar leti hoon, bas naha ke aayi.
She went. Daya was so tensed. He immediately called Jia. She picked up the call.
On the call,
Daya (tensed): Jia, ek gadbad ho gyi hai.
Jia (shocked): Kya?
Daya (tensed): Yaar, hum Kavin ke bare mein bhuul hi gye the. Voh tumhaara fiancé hai, tumhaare kareen aane kit oh koshish karega hi.
Jia (casually): Karta hai na, kiss bhi. Let him do that, bas usse aage badne mat dijiye ga, he will definitely try.
Daya (griting teeth): Yaar, Jia, tu bahut besharam ho gyi hai.
Jia (smiled): Shreya se poochiye ga, voh batayegi, sharam toh main bahut pehle hi chhod chuki hoon.
Then she remembered something.
Jia (tensed): Bhai, ek aur gadbad hai.
Daya (shocked): Kya?
Jia (gulped): Shreya mujhe aapne saari dresses dekhati pehenkar jo voh nhi pehenti because of self judgment. Usmein bahut hot dresses bhi hoti hai, and voh aapko bhi pehnane ki koshish karegi. Jab voh khud pehne, asually react karna aur use btana kaun sa accha hai but jab voh aako pehnne ko bole toh meri kasam dedena, voh chup hojayegi but will make a fake angry pout. But ignore that pout.
Daya (hesitantly): Par main kaise, use aise kapdo mein… mujhse nhi hoga.
Jia (angrily): Shut up and just go with the plan. Aur voh aapko shopping pe bhi le jaayegi, you will have a movie marathon night and a girly session.
Daya (shocked): What is this girly session?
Jia (playing with her fingers): We talk about boys, movies, love, old days, old crushes and all, you know.
Daya (hell nervous): I can't tolerate this, Jia.
Jia (ordering tone): You have to and this is final.
Daya (sadly): Okay.
They disconnected the call.
