Mistic morning; Suspense is ending here ;D
Cute Diksha, there is a saying in Tamil, actually a film dialogue of Rajani sir,'late aa vanthaalum latestaa varven'(means, even if comes late comes as latest)And I am sorry this time it is not an Abhirika :( But I will write on them soon as I love them together.
Mithi,thanks...
And there was someone who guessed this one correct.
Now read and review...
There were a few inside bureau and all of them were engaged too. ACP was sitting inside his cabin (Not of nowadays. I actually dislike the bureau FW is currently showing). A man, strong, handsome and calm got up from his seat with a file and walk towards one who was sitting against him, searching something in computer.
"Abhijith, Have a look at this file, This is fine na?"
Abhijith watch him first and then asked,
"Daya, you prepared this na? Sahi hi hoga.."
Daya smiled on it and said,
"Wo tho hain. Phir bhi ek baar dekh le.."
Abhijith nodded his head in 'yeh nahi sudharega' and took file from him. While they were discussing the file, Poorvi and Tasha came near them. Tasha asked,
"Sir, May we go and submit Andheri Drug deal case sheet at Head Quarters?"
Before Abhijith or Daya could allow them Freddy interrupt.
"No, You can't."
Duo, Tasha, Poorvi, Vivek and Pankaj looked at him and suddenly he continued,
"Wo, mera matlab...you can't take that because I haven't completed it"
All others together shouted,
"What?"
ACP, who was in a phone call tap on the table to make his juniors silent.
Abhijith 'literally' ran to Freddy and in a low voice asked,
"Not completed? Freddy, you knew that it was supposed to be submitted yesterday itself".
Freddy kept his head down and remain silent. Then it was Daya's turn,
"Freddy, chup kyun ho? Tell something. That Chitrole is going to make this an issue for sure. Yaar..."
He stopped as he didn't want to hurt him. Freddy started to feel tension on "chitrole" and all could easily read that from his face. He was feeling guilty for his irresponsibility. That was something 'too much' for a person between them and he came ahead with a file that he was hiding behind.
"Sorry Freddy Sir, please don't be tensed. Here the file is. It is done."
"Vivek?"
Abhijith raised his eyebrow.
"Sorry sir, Yesterday when I came back bureau to take my keys I saw this file on the table. I knew Freddy sir was told to complete this. So I took this with me."
"And you completed this for him" Poorvi said with a smile on her face.
"Yea.."
Before Vivek could complete his answer Freddy snatch the file from him and asked
"Tho itna intezaar kyun kiya? You should've given me this earlier."
Settling thus he went to ACP get him signed on that document. ACP signed it without cutting the phone call and Freddy came back.
Tasha who was silently watching all this went near Vivek and when he gave a questioning look she said,
" How sweet you are Vivek? "
He looked around and asked,
"You really wanna know?"
Before she could respond to that Freddy came near and said,
"Tujhe me baad me dekh loonga".
He rush towards the door way and there, he saw HER. File fell from his grip. And he couldn't believe if it was her. All noticed Freddy's expression change and walk ahead to know what made him thus.
"Kya hua Freddy, nikal gayi saari ha.."
Abhijith's words stopped in middle seeing her. In fact, by that time everyone except ACP saw her. Some didn't know her and some couldn't come out of that 'shock'. After some moments, someone whispered
"MUSKAAN"
And it was Daya. He was void within. Even his 'Abhi' couldn't read his expression. He was staring at her and most of them were doing the same. Pankaj in a husky tone asked Poorvi,
"Sab aise kyun khade hain? Who is she?"
Poorvi raised her shoulders to show her helplessness towards his question while Tasha dragged Vivek little behind and asked
" Is this she?"
He nodded 'yes' and then Tasha too became confused.
All this time that girl who created such a mess in Mumbai CID stood still, keeping her head high, but eyes down. She wanted to cry aloud, but didn't. She wanted to faint but couldn't. Undertaking every gaze she stood there like a statue.
"What is happening there?"
ACP came there wondering as he saw his beloved team seemed lost and confused. When he was approaching, she took a sigh. May be that was the first breath she took after being noticed by them.
ACP came and saw Muskaan. He didn't need more time to understand the situation. But before he could deal with it, someone shout at her.
"Kyun aayi ho yahaan? Kya karne aayi ho?"
It was Freddy. Muskaan felt nothing as she knew more is to come. ACP gave Freddy a sharp look and Freddy tried his best to hide his ire. Everyone else familiar for her stood like they were expecting someone to burst out; or maybe they wanted themselves to burst out. She slowly raise her eyes towards ACP Pradyuman and look straight on to his eyes. Amazingly he was having some kind of a fellow feeling for her; after all he knew what and what a cop will have to do for his duty.
"Come, get in Muskaan"
He said. She without facing anyone else, walked behind ACP, just like a kid get into the classroom for the first time behind her teacher. Others were having a mood swing, but sadly it was not good for her. They reached infuriating stage from the confusing one. Only Poorvi and Pankaj were still confused. ACP may have noticed their presence and said,
"Poorvi, Pankaj you both go and submit the case chart."
As everyone else Muskaan too understood why he sent them away. But it made her more tensed. She knew, now there is nothing they should take care of. Almost everyone there knew everything.
"Sir, what is she doing here?"
It was Abhijith who asked. His voice wasn't loud but all could feel the anger in it. ACP didn't answer him. Instead he forwarded his hand towards Muskaan. She gave that envelop and again took a sigh. Now she was getting calm. She got someone who is not angry with her. She started to believe what chaachi said her, 'everything is going to be fine'. She had a confidence that after their quick reaction she could make them know everything. They would believe her, after all they are a family.
"Abhijith,"
ACP called him and Muskaan came out of her thoughts. ACP called Abhijith, but was constantly staring Daya until he completed his words,
"Abhijith, Muskaan is here because she was ordered to. We have to accept it because we are also ordered. She is joining our team as 'Senior Inspector', from now itself."
All became shocked and Freddy shout again,
"How could she comeback sir?" But he couldn't complete as Daya stop him by holding his wrist. Muskaan felt 'happy' after long as he did something in favour of her. ACP continued ignoring all this,
"Tasha, go and get her badge and gun"
"Yes sir," she obey him and took Muskaan with her to ACP's cabin and completed all the routine. Then ACP handed Muskaan her badge and gun. She remembered her first day of CID. Her eyes became wet but suddenly look upward to keep tears within. As she came out of cabin to all everyone was standing there with same anger. But Tasha, some were in heart was consoling her new colleague. Muskaan walked towards that person who used to understand her most in her life, whom she could say 'family', with whom she could share every sadness. He was standing in front of her, but she chose not to call him 'daada' as she always did.
"Abhijith sir,"
He looked at her and then at ACP who was noticing them sitting in his cabin. In a low but yet clear voice he said,
"Look Senior Inspector Muskaan, you may not need my help for any of your official work. And even if you want, I just don't care too. Please stay away from me, and our 'family'. You got it?"
The word 'family' that he said as 'their' hurt her a lot. Now again she started to lose confidence. The belief that she can make them understand her situations. Yet again she tried,
"please meri baat tho suniye."
Abhijith continued,
"kya sunoon? Haan? Bolo, kya? Tu ne aaj tak jo kiya, kaha, bas. Kaafi tha hamaare liye. Jo nuksaan thumne kiya hein, wo hume yaad hein. Bade mushkil se sambhaala hein hum sab kuch"
then he glare at Daya who was looking at her without any expression. He continued,
"Agar kuch rah gaya hein sambhaalne keliye tho wo bhi hum jald karlenge. So just stay away from us."
Completing thus he got out of bureau. Muskaan could feel wetness over her cheeks and yes, she was crying. She looked at Daya, just to see him, but he came near her. Freddy, Vivek and Tasha were watching them silently. He told her pointing finger,
"Dont even dare to talk to me Senior Inspector Muskaan...Never ever.."
He too accompanied Abhijith who was waiting him at the exit. After some time Muskaan too ran out. She just wanted to cry aloud...
Aakhir aisa kya hua ki Muskaan apnon ke beech hi paraayi ho gayi...
Wait to hear 'Muskaan ki kahaani Vivek ki subaani' in next chapter
