. . .

Continued from prev. chapter… outside forensic lab-

Ehem.. *cough*

"Dayaa.. kya yar?"

Daya keeps staring at Abhijeet, his eyebrows raised.

"kya dekh raha hai? (irritated tone) chal na case pe dhyan de. Uss chemist ko dhoondh nikaalna hai!"

"tu ithna chidaa hua kyu hai yar?"

"nahi tho"

"jhoot bolna band kar. Kya hua? Tarika kyu tumse ithni naraaz hai?"

"hehehe.. woh- kuch nahi yar! Chota sa.."

"tu ne fir se jhagda tho nahi ki naa?"

"main? Jhagdaa? Woh bhi Tarika k saat? No way… wohi ladti hai yar mujhse!"

"kya hua.." (smiles a bit)

"woh yar.. ek galati hogayi.."

"kyaa"

"umm. Kal mujhe usse coffee shop pe milne jaana tha par"

"khabri se milne gaye the kya?"

"nahi Daya. Ghar pe hi tha. Pata nahi kaise yeh baat dimaag se nikal gaya aur.."

"aur tum usse milne nahi gaye. Very bad Abhijeet. Galati tumhari hai. usska gussa hona jaayez hai.."

"arey yar jaanta hu. Galati meri hai, pata nahi ussey kaise manaauu.."

"sorry bolde dil se. meri behen hai na, maaf kardegi tujhe. Meri tarah bohot Dayaalu hai"

(shocked) "behen?"

Abhi goes on in an annoyed tone.

" yarr! Tu meri side se usski side mei chala gaya? Tu mera bhai tha na?"

"ab bhi hu mere bhai!" (smiles)

Abhi gets angry. Daya sir just enjoys the look on his face.

"yar! Tu, tu kisi- tu kisi ek ka side le haan? Mujhe darr hai, ki kahi tu mujhe Tarika ka bhai na banaade!"

(laughs) "Abhijeet! Tum kitne funny ho!"

"aur nahi tho kya? Kabhi kehte ho woh teri behen hai, kabhi kehte ho main tera bhai! Dekh, agar woh teri behen hai to mujhe apna jija banaale, aur agar main tera bhai hu, tho ussko apna bhabhii banaale! Samjha tu?"

Daya giggles.

"aur yeh hasna band kar tu!"

"thik hai bhai thik hai.. bhabhi acchi hai yar! Maaf kardegi tujhe!"

"yar please koi idea hai tho do. Warna aise taang mat kheech.."

"sure bhai dunga na.. ab thodi der k liye case k bare mei sochte hai. fir main tumhe ek aisa idea dunga, ki bhabhi ek dum flat hojayegi.. unka gussa yu gayab hojayega!"

Abhi grins like a kid.

"sacchi..?"

"arey mucchi!"

"thank you yar! Thank you. I love you yar"

"love you too mere bhai!"

They hug. Abhi smiles n Daya too smiles back.

"Abhijeet! Daya kaha hai sab log?"

Acp sir's voice booms and the two inspectors rush to their boss to start working on the case at hand.

The case is solved very soon, thankfully.

Its evening time. ..

Parking lot-

Abhijeet wants talk to Tarika. He turns to Daya who's beside him.

"yar, koi idea de naa"

"let me think.."

"Daya jaldi.."

"ek idea hai.."

"kya?"

"tu apnaa kaan pakadke usske saamne sit-ups karle!" (laughs)

"Dayaaa.."

"it will work yar. Kyu tu itna nahi kar sakta.. bas ek do sit-ups karlena! Maaf kardegi woh"

Just then Tarika comes. Abhi smiles seeing her but his smile vanishes when he sees vaibhav walking down with her.

"yeh bhi hai.. yar Daya, isske saamne kaise? Koi aur idea de naa."

(teasing) "I have run out of ideas boss. Bujh gayi mere dimaag ki batti.."

"yeh le. Mentos khaa aur dimaag ki batti jalaa. Tu jaan-buuchkar mujhe tang kar raha hai na?"

Daya chews the mentos Abhijeet gave him.

(innocent face) "nahi nahi boss. Dekho na mere chehre ko. Main ek bhola baccha hu.."

(angry expression) "tujht tho main… nahi ab nahi! Baad mei dekhlunga."

He runs to say hello to Tarika. She almost smiles at him. That's a good sign, he feels.

"Tarika ji ghar jaari hai?"

"ghar hi tho jaate hai sab kaam ke baad hahahaha!"

Vaibhav jokes n Tarika laughs.

"oye nikal. Chal nikal yaha se yeh na bhulo ki tum senior inspector Abhijeet se baat kar rahe ho.."

Vaibhav walks off mumbling sorry. Tarika ignores Abhi, walks to stand beside her bike.

"arey aap ab bhi naraz hai.. sorry bola na maine. Aap iss tarah chup hai, mujhe accha nahi lagraha. Aur yeh kya aapke haat mei bandage? Main drop karuu bike pe? Aap aur main aur bike ride?"

She smiles again. A tiny smile but covers it up. No she needs to play a little more. But, how to escape him? She didn't want to hurt him during this game. Just then there comes her angel.

"arey bacchii, chalo aaj drive mat karo tum. Yeh bike yahi rehne dena. I'll drop you. Aur bhaissaab? Yahi ho ab tak ghar nahi jaana hai kya?"

Salunkhe sir bids him bye and drags her off. Abhi watches her leave, Daya's laughter from behind ringing in his ears.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Next part- duo's talk, abhi tries to pacify Tarika.

So how is this chap?
