15days later -
CID team members were seating in the cafeteria in the lunch break.
They were chatting and pulling each other's legs.
Abhijeet (teasingly) - Tumhe pata hai Freddy! Mene suna hai ki humare CID bureo ki jagah kahi saal pehle yaha ek kabristaan hua karta tha!
Freddy (scared+shocked) - sir! Aap sach keh rahe ho?
Shreya (adding fuel) - haan Freddy sir! Aur mene to ye bhi suna hai ki yaha par kuch aatmaye bhi ghumti hai raat Mai.
Freddy was hell scared to hear the word "Aatma"
Freddy (scared) - ye…. Ye aap logo ne mujhe pehle kyu nahi bataya? Mai yaha ab nahi rahunga Mai aaj hi apne transfer ki application daal dunga! (he was murmuring the hanuman chalisa)
Seeing his condition Abhijeet and everyone started laughing.
Freddy (confused) - ye aap log itna hass kyu rahe hai?
Daya (nodding his head in disappointment) - abhi bhi nahi samjhe Freddy? Ye log bass tumhari taang khinch rahe the. Koi aatma vaatma nahi hai yaha
Shreya (laughing) - hahhahhha! Abhijeet sir aap bilkul thik keh rahe the Freddy sir ki shakal dekhne layak thi aatma ka naam sunnke.
Daya looked at Shreya. He felt really good seeing her laughing! unknowingly a smile appeared on his face
Freddy (fake anger) - Abhijeet sir to humesha aisa hi karte hai! Shreya tum bhi innke saath mil gai? Apne senior ke saath aisa majak karte hue tumhe sharam nahi aati?
Shreya (serious+upset) - I am really sorry sir! Mai to bass…
But before she could complete her sentence Freddy started laughing
Freddy - hahhahhaha Shreya! Tumhari shakal dekhne layak thi. Mai to bass majak kar raha tha
And all of them bursted into laughing
Sachin - kitna acha lag raha hai na sir! Bade dino baad hum aise masti kar rahe hai varna to kaam se fursat hi nahi milti.
Pankaj (excited) - sir! Mere paas ek idea hai! Kyu na hum sab picnic ke liye chale? Bahut din ho gaye sir hum log sab saath Mai kahi nahi gaye.
Abhijeet - areee wah! Ye to bahut Acha idea hai.
Lekin jaaye kaha?

Shreya (trying to cover) - ye to bahut acha idea hai Sir! Hum aapke gaon hi chalte hai bahut maja aayega. Hai na Daya sir?
Daya looked at her she was looking very excited.

Shreya (confident) - yess sir! Mai baat kar lungi
And she went towards the Acp's cabin
Daya (in mind) - bhagwan Kare Sir ka mood thik ho! Varna Shreya par baras padenge vo
After 15minutes Shreya came back to the cafeteria She was looking a little upset
Daya went near her and worriedly asked "Kya hua Shreya? Itni upset kyu lag rahi ho? Acp sir ne daanta?
Shreya (looked at Daya) - Sir vo Acp sir ne Jaane ki permission de di.
Everyone was shocked to hear this

Pankaj (happily) - yeahhhh! Bahut maja aayega
Next Morning -
They kept their luggage in the mini bus and sat inside when Shreya entered their were only one empty seat that too beside Daya! She happily goes and sit on that seat. (and they drove towards Freddy's village)
They reached the Village. Everyone were looking too excited and specially Shreya
Shreya (happily) - wowww! Ye sab kitna Sundar hai
Tarika - kya baat hai Shreya! Aisa lag raha hai pehli baar koi gaon dekh rahi ho
Meanwhile Daya interuppted "Bilkul thik kaha aapne doctor Tarika! Shreya ko humesha se hi gaon dekhna tha humare Freddy ne aaj usski ye khawaish puri kar di! Kyu Shreya?
Tarika was looking at Daya with shocking expressions
Tarika (shocked) - tumhe to Shreya ke baare Mai sab kuch pata hai! Aakhir baat kya hai (teasing him)
Daya got really uncomfortable at her question Shreya could sense it.
Shreya - haan Doctor Tarika! Sirf Daya sir ko hi nahi Abhijeet sir ko bhi pata hai vo ek din baato baato Mai mene bol diya tha! Hai na Abhijeet sir? ( signalled Abhijeet to handle the situation)
Abhijeet - haaan Tarika ji! Shreya bilkul thik bol rahi hai.
Tarika (suspicious) - Abhijeet! Tum mujhse kuch chupa to nahi rahe ho na?
Abhijeet (stammering) - mai…. Mai aapse bhala kyu kuch chupaunga Tarika Ji! Aap bhi na kitna shaq karti hai mujh par (and he wrapped his hand around her shoulder)
Tarika - tum kehte ho to maan leti hu!
Shreya and Abhijeet took a relief sigh.
In evening -
Daya was seating near the river throwing stones in the river thinking about Muskaan.
Muskaan's memories were flashing in front of his eyes! Last time when he visited this village Muskaan was with her and now she is nowhere! Tears were flowing from his eyes.
Meanwhile Shreya comes there she saw Daya from the distance she could see How hurt he was!
She started walking towards him but there were many stones on the floor due to which her ankle twisted and she got sprain in her ankle.
Shreya (in pain) - ahhhh!
Daya heard her voice he turned back and saw Shreya seating on the floor moaning in pain.
He wiped his tears and ran towards her.
Daya (worriedly) - Kya hua Shreya! Tum thik to ho?
Shreya - sir bahut dard ho raha hai! Shayad moch aa gai hai!
Daya (angrily) - tumhe yaha aane ki kya jarurat thi! Dikhao mujhe (and he touched her ankle)
Though her ankle was paining but when he touched her for a moment she forgot everything.
Daya (worriedly) - bahut dard ho raha hai?
Shreya could see the love and concern in his eyes.
Shreya - haan Sir dard to ho raha hai!
Daya twisted her ankle suddenly she loudly screamed and holded his shirt tightly.
Daya - sorry! Par ye jaruri tha. Dekho tumhara dard gayab ho gaya
Shreya realised that she is not feeling any pain now.
Shreya - Aree haa sir sach Mai mujhe ab bilkul dard nahi ho raha!
Daya - Dard ki vajah ko hi mita diya jaaye to fir dard aapko chuu bhi nahi sakta!
Shreya (with a meaningful look) - bilkul thik kaha aapne sir! Jab tak hum apne dard ko durr karne ki koshish hi naa kare vo kabhi humse durr ho hi nahi sakta.
Daya understood what she was trying to say! But he didn't replied anything and went from there.
Shreya (in mind) - aapko koshish karni hogi sir! Jab tak aap Muskaan ki yaado ko pakad kar baithenenge dard aapka picha nahi chorrega! Aapko samajhna hoga Sir ki past kitna bhi khubsurat kyu na ho vo humesha past hi rehta hai. Mai aapse vaada karti hu sir aapke har ek dukh har ek dard ko khusi Mai badal dungi (a tear dropped from her eyes)
In Night -
All the members gathered in the garden area. They were seating there talking with each other.
Pankaj - sir! Bahut bore ho rahe hai kyu na hum koi game khele? Kyu na hum truth aur dare khele?
Abhijeet - Aree bhai! Ye kaunsa game hai?
Purvi (excited) - sir ye bahut hi majedar game hai (and she explained the game to him)
Abhijeet - are wahh! Ye to bahut hi acha game lag raha hai. Chalo shuru karte hai
Pankaj Spinned the bottle and it stopped at Daya!
Abhijeet - Daya se Mai puchunga! Batao Daya truth ya dare?
Daya thought for sometime and then chooses 'Truth'
Abhijeet - acha! Ye batao tumhe Shreya Mai sabse achi baat kya lagti hai?
Daya was shocked at his sudden question
Abhijeet - Aree vo humari sabse new member hai to hume pata hona chahiye na! Batao Daya?
Daya looked at Shreya she was smiling.
Daya - Usski Hasi! Chahe kaisi bhi situation ho usski muskurahat nahi jaati saari musibate haste haste Paar kar leti hai! Usski Smile itni pyaari hai ki koi rota hua insaan bhi khush ho jaaye usski Smile dekh kar.
Mujhe usski sabse buri baat lagti hai jab vo roti hai usski aankho Mai aansu bilkul bhi ache nahi lagte.
Everyone were shocked to hear his answer while Abhijeet and Shreya were smiling.
Pankaj spinned the bottle again and this time it stopped at Shreya.
Purvi (happily) - Shreya! Truth ya Dare?
Shreya (looking at Daya) - Dare!
Purvi - perfect! Mai kab se wait kar rahi thi.
Mene suna hai tu bahut Acha gaana gaati hai to aaj ek gaana ho jaaye.
Shreya (hesitate) - Gaana? Nahi nahi please kuch aur karne ke liye bol de.
Purvi - kuch aur nahi! Mujhe to gaana hi sunna hai.
Daya Sir aap kahiye na isse aapki baat nahi taalegi vo
Daya - Shreya please gaao na!
Shreya couldn't say no to him.
She started singing a song looking at him.
Haan aa o...
Main jaan ye vaar doon,
Har jeet bhi haar doon,
Keemat ho koi tujhe beinteha pyaar doon
Saari hadein meri,
Ab maine tod di,
Dekar mujhe pataa awaargi ban gaye
Haan hasi ban gaye,
Haan nami ban gaye ,
Tum mere aasmaan ,
Meri zameen ban gaye
Aa o… aa…
Kya khoob Rab ne kiya,
Bin maange itna diya,
Warna hai milta kahaan,
Hum kaafiron ko Khuda,
Hasratein ab meri,
tumse hai jaa mili,
Tum duaa ab meri,
aakhiri ban gaye
Haan hasi ban gaye,
Haan nami ban gaye,
Tum mere aasmaan ,Meri zameen ban gaye.
She sang melodiously only she knew that every word was her message for him!
Everyone clapped for her and praised her.
She looked at Daya he was smiling
Shreya (in mind) - I wish ki aapke chehre se ye muskurahat kabhi gaayab na ho! (and she smiled)
