Chapter 11
"RD.. RD mujhe phone kyu nhi kar raha. Call back bhi nhi kia ussne. Jab ki main dus baar usey call kar chuki hu. God! Main itna kyu sochti hu..."
It's a casual day for Roohi at the bureau. She is now back at Daya's place but is unable to sleep..
There's a knock and the door opens... enter Daya sir.
"Roohi..."
Roo gives a nervous smile.
" kya hua Roohi? Pareshan ho? Ye RD k bache ki waje se tho nhi?"
"nhi sir... aapke hote hue main pareshan kaise hosakti hu. Main thik hu sir. Aur sir, ab tak kahaa the aap? Abhi khatm hui kya aapki duty?"
"arey haan yar. Ye duty na... isko din-raat, dhoop-barish, inn baton se koi fark nhi padta. Tum chalo mere saat"
"sir main.. main bas sojaane wali hu.."
"tum bas neeche chalo.."
"arey par.. kyu sir.."
Just then Shreya comes in, "arey Roo dekho tho neeche kon aaya hai tujhse milne!"
Shreya smiles wider, "I can't believe its him..."
Daya just smiles... Roo is confused...
Roo-shreya convo...
"Di... kon aaya..."
"moo latkaake bait rahi hai na aajkal? Ab isko dekhogi tho khushi se jhoom uthogi.."
"Par di.. itni raat ko kon aaya hai..."
Shreya doesn't answer her..
"tu iss night pants aur t-shirt mei jaake milegi ussey.. jaldi se acche se salwar pehenle... Daya, aap jayiye na bichara akela baitha hai neeche..."
Daya nods and walks out of the room.
. . .
Two mins later,
Roohi is dressed in a nice pink salwar-suit and is dragged down by Shreya into the living room...
Roohi's eyes pop as she sees the guy whom Daya sir has brought along...
Its mohit raina... ;)
(Disclaimer- the actor's name is taken just to make someone smile. No other intension behind this.)
"Oh my god! Mohit Raina... Oh my! Someone pinch me! Dii.. please pinch me. Nhi, zor se nhi please! Ye.. ye koi sapna nhi hai right!"
Roohi smiles squeals, pinches herself and laughs in disbelief. Mohit just smiles showing his sweet dimples and tugs his blazer closer..
"nhi miss Roohi... ye koi sapna nhi hai... and I'm glad that main aapko ek delightful surprise depaaya. Actually main nhi, saara credit goes to your Daya sir."
Roohi smiles and looks at Daya...
"arey main.. maine kya kia. Ye tho mohit ki acchayi hai. wo kya hai na, ek case ke dauraan hum inke studio ke bagal waale ilaake mei gaye, puchtach karne lage, aur ye milgaye. Ye CID k acche kaam se prabhavit the, tho aise hi, humari aapas mei baatei hui.. aur baaton-baaton mei yaad aayi tum. Maine kaha Mohit, aapki ek bohot badi fan hai mere ghar pe, jo moo latkaake baithi hai.. tho ye aagaye tumse milne..."
Roohi smiles.. Daya sir is sugary sweet and is a very nice person.
"Daya sir... aapne, aapne unko yaha bulaaya? Arey mujhe bulaaya hota tho main udd ke aajati waha pe.."
Roohi is all smiles looking at Mohit.
Roo- mohit convo...
"that's so sweet. Waise aap mujhe bataa sakti hai Roohi ki kabhi udaan bhari aapne?"
"uh.." *big smile* "nhi Mohit, woh main bas aise hi keh rahi thi..."
"naa naa Miss Roohi. Jhoot bol rahi hai aap. Aap udi nhi tho kya hua. Abhi tho udaaya hai aapne sab ki hosh..."
"ji?"
"aapki smile se!"
Roohi blushes a little and smiles big...
"that's good! Waise aap meri fan hai right?"
"fan? Arey main fridge AC sab kuch hu..."
"Aise hi smile karte rehna. Aur kabhi bhi iss muskaan ko gayab mat hone dena..."
Roo nods...
"thank you so much..."
Surprisingly Mohit pulls her into a hug.
"pleasure is mine, " he says releasing her.
Roo smiles more.
Mohit-dareya convo...
"accha ji ab mujhe chalna chahiye."
"par... Mohit ji, aapko yaha rehna hoga, mere yaha dinner-"
"fir kabhi sir. Abhi mujhe ghar jaana hai."
"aur kal early morning shoot k liye nikalna hai... so..."
Mohit smiles at Roohi & Shreya and gives Daya a quick hug..
"ye gulab jaamun tho chak ke jayiye"
He obliges and... few mins later-
"aap sab k pyar k liye bohot bohot dhanyawaad..."
And he takes their leave... An elated Roohi hugs Daya sir and her sis sharing her happiness.. she then runs to her room to fill her dairy-entry and drifts off to sleep with a huge smile on her face.

The next day...
Nixel studios, Worli Mumbai..
Sensational singer competition has begun and the shooting going on...
The organiser is worried...
"oh god! Ye kya... baki ke contestants kidher hai? live concert ka rehearsal shuru karo. Sham ko concert hai... hume iss programme ko tv pe bhi launch karna hai.. grand success banana hai.. kaha gaye sab..."
Some police officials arrive...
"ye contest ab nhi ho sakta!"
"kya? Kyu? Aur sir.. aap log yaha?"
"pata chala hai ki aapke kuch contestants asal mei sangh-vidrohi hai. wo aaj raat, concert k dauraan, maatam failaana chahte hai..."
"kya? Inspector, ye.. ye sach nhi hai.. ye kaise ho sakta hai..."
"kuch contestants ko humne arrest bhi karliya hai... sabuut bhi mila hai hume..."
"kya bakwaas kar rahe hai aap?"
"bakwaas nhi hai sach hai. aapke contestants mei ek admi ek undercover cop hai... ussee ne iss shad-yantra ko chakna-chur kardia..."
"humare contestants mei... ek undercover cop hai?"
"yes... wo aapke singer RD, jise aap NRI samjhte ho.. wo NRI nhi undercover cop hai... nakli passport dia hai ussne aapko. Lekin afsos.. ki aap usey bhi pehchan nhi paaye... so now that we are done, ye contest khatm karo. Aur agli baar organise karne se pehle, details acche se check karna apne contestants ka..."
Much to the organiser's annoyance... the inspector leaves stating that the contest must be cancelled. The news is thankfully kept as a low key affair and the only notice that's given to public is that some contestants moved out and so they are going for fresh auditions.
. . .
The day goes peacefully for Roohi at the bureau. To her surprise that evening she gets a call from RD...
"hmm tho ab yaad aagayi main janab ko... I'm sorry Anil Kapoor... itni aasani se call answer nhi karungi... chalo jobhi hai, I'm glad ki you called me back..."
Someone taps her on shoulder... she smiles to herself...
"oye chal rahi ho ki nhi? Kab se Daya sir tujhe bulaarahe hai... aur tu mobile mei lagi hai?"
"oops! Sorry Vineet! Lets go!"
"kahaa jaayei? Koi plans aaj k liye?"
"haan hai.."
"kya?"
"ghar jaake sojaana..."
"haha Roo tum bhi na.."
Roo and Vineet part ways.. Roohi joins Dareya in their car..
" OK chalo.. bye kal milte hai... bye sir.. bye Shreya..."
"bye! Take care!"
. . . / \ . .
The same evening, Kolkata...
Ravina's home... she watches someone as he bangs his head
"ohh god! Ab main kya karu? Ek din.. ek din Doctor sree k naam karna tha mujhe! Par woh bhi nhi hua. God knows main Kolkata kyu aaya? Dussera manaane ya fir uss inspector ki madad karne case solve karne mei..."
"arey bhaiya! Ye tho aapka kaam hai na? aur aapko pasand hai ye sab right? And don't complain. Aise complain karoge tho buraa lagjayega uuper bhagwanji ko samjhe?"
"arey complain naa karuu tho kya karuu Ravi?"
"KV bhaiya relax!"
"kaise relax? Tu jaanti hai naa, aaj doctor sree ka birthday hai. main kuch special karna chahta tha but.. ugh!"
"KV bhaiya... ab bhi unka birthday hai na... abhi time dekho 7pm. 12 am tak.. yaani 5 ghante hai aapke paas! Ab aise moo naa latkaao aur jaldi tayyar hojao daandiya karne!"
"daandiya?"
"yes! Ohho bhaiya just come na.. bohot maza aayega and you have a surprise!"
And Ravi walks away winking at her brother and not bothering to answer her bro's questions.
. . .
Meanwhile...
Sree too gets ready for the dandiya even. Nice pink and green ghaghra, matching ear rings, daandiya sticks... its going to be fun, an amazing birthday. She couldn't meet most of her friends during the day so she's hopeful she can catch up at the event now.
. . . / \ . .
7:30 PM...
At the community hall, prayers are on. Everyone is chanting Ambe-Maa's name. dandiya programme is held at a few steps from the pandal. The music seems inviting doctor sree... girls are dancing.. sree and her sis join them..
On the other end Kavin is pulled by Ravina for a dance..
"arey itne saari ladkiya hai yaha.. main kaise Ravina.."
"ohoo KV bhaiya! aap bas dance karo.."
The song keeps playing kavin smiles awkwardly and plays along with his daandiya sticks, matching the moves of every random girl who came his way. This is a grand event, he thinks, and girls have outnumbered guys... but its ok... cool dudes don't panic seeing so many girls, especially when he thinks of them as his sisters... he smiles and plays on...
He thinks... 'yes ye sab meri behnei hai sirf.. wo.. ek ko chodke..'
'waise hai kon wo mereliye... friend.. dost.. yes... but behen? Definitely not.'
He feels too much for her to think of her as one. And he wonders if she is here playing dandiya.
In that very moment, as if answering his question, the girl who comes to him with her sticks held high above, is none other but her.
They both pause dancing... both look at each other... he smiles... she smiles back before chiding herself.
"ohho! Ye tho imagination hai sree! Chalo aap jayiye.. chale jayiye haan? Ab main aankh band karke fir dekhungi tho ye nhi hoga.. yes..."
KV smiles and ignores her rant... she opens her eyes and smiles more...
"ye kaise ho sakta hai. ye- ye Kolkata mei?"
"haan main Kolkata mei..."
"oh god meri imagination mei bhi awaz bilkul waisi hai aapki haan.."
She laughs and he decides to end his act.
KV-Sree convo-
"ye aapki imagination nhi hai.."
"kya?"
"yes Doctor sree. Its me Kavin. Senior inspector Kavin..."
"..." *pinches him*
"owwww! Ye kya tha?"
"ohh haha! Tho ye sach mei hai... wow too good!"
"this is not funny doctor sree!"
"ohh zor se lagi kya?"
She looks concerned and he smiles...
"haan thodi bohot but its ok..."
"I'm sorry Kavin, main.."
"kya tareeka hai ye doctor sree. Agar koi pata lagana chahta hai, ki ye vehem hai ya sachhayi, usey khud ko pinch karna chahiye. doosron ko nhi..."
"haan but you see, main bachpan se kaafi smart hu... aur yahi mera tareeka hai.. haha bad joke. I'm sorry. Ab jo hua, so hogaya na..."
He doesn't know what to say but looks on. He notices her matching jumkas, dandiya sticks, bangles and then her shimmering dupatta flying as wind blows.
"hmm chaliye chodiye. Lekin ek baat tho hai... aapki ye adaa bhi pyari hai doctor sree.. aapki tarah..."
She tries not to blush and smiles...
"hmm mere saat flirt mat karna... jaante nhi aap mujhe! Bohot khatarnak ladki hu main.."
He smiles coyly..
"oh really... main aapke saat flirt kar raha hu? Dekho bhai! Kya zamana hai. compliment dei, tho bhi galat hai... kehte hai flirt kar rahe hai-"
"kisne kaha galat hai?"
"kya?"
"umm.. I mean, maine kaha thanks for the compliment. Aur Main mazak kar rahi thi.."
"oh its ok.."
Both smile... some girl taps him and her on the shoulder.. "hey what happened? Just dance doston.."
"umm so.. daandiya.. ?"
"uh par mujhe aati nhi.. main kaise karuu.."
"sree aap bas meri moves match karne ki koshish karna... come on now!"
He pulls her and they dance with all the girls and guys for a while...
They pause for a break and move away... he gets her some water and she thanks him.
"happy birthday doctor sree..."
"thank you.. but jus a minute! aapko kaise pata... I mean.. kahi kal raat ko terrace pe... wo sab.. aap the..?"
"haan main..."
There's a small pause and she smiles in disbelief..
"I mean Kavin.. aapko.. aapne wo sab kia. That was so sweet! But kya zarurat thi..."
"zarurat thi... ab dekhiye na, main yaha apne chachi se milne aaya... tho aap mujhe milgayi. aur mujhe pata chala birthday hai aapka, tho.. its very much needed. Aur Ravina ne bataaya tha, ki uski dost ki didi, yaani, sree ko bohot shauk hai surprises ka tho.."
"aate hi kaafi kuch pata kia aapne..."
"haan aise hi tho nei liya CID mei hume..."
"oh god bachke rehna padega mujhe"
"haha..."
"but seriously! I mean... wow! That was... I don't know what to say but.. thank you..."
Ravina joins them. Sree thanks Ravina & hugs her...
"thanks for making me feel special... thank you for the surprise.."
"abhi aur bhi surprises hai.."
"what? Kaha?"
"chalo mere saat..."
"par KV, maa ka darshan karei bagair kaise.. aur hum puja mei-"
"OK puja k baad.."
Soon they take part in the puja, offer prayers to Ambe-maa, have prashad and move out.
They reach their apartment's parking lot.
"sree is surprised to see many gifts placed near her scooty
"oh my god! Itne sare gifts! Mereliye?"
"pure 21 gifts hai... 21 saal ki bachi k liye."
"kavin.. itna kharcha kyu..."
"madam! Hum dost hai.. yaad hai.."
Ravina watches them with a smile.. KvSree have constant smile on their faces..
"so sweet but..."
"no buts! Mere birthday pe aap mujhe dena 27 gifts ok.."
"its ok in that case then..."
All laugh and sree proceeds to unwrap the presents; it's a great day! :D
