Everyone gathered on the dining table for breakfast.
Abhijeet (happily) - kya baat hai? bahut achi Khusbu aa rahi hai. Kya banaya hai?
And he checked the dishes on the table his face glows like a bulb.
Abhijeet - Aree wahh! Gajar ka halwa, Kheer, Puri! Aaj to maje hai kyu Pankaj?
Pankaj - wowwww sir! Itna saara khana. Mujhse to control nahi ho raha hai sir (and he started serving himself)
Abhijeet and Daya nodded their head in disappointment.
Freddy - vaise Shreya! Itna sab kuch kisne banaya hai?
Purvi (teasingly) - sir actually (she looked at Abhijeet) Dr. Tarika
But before she could complete her sentence Abhijeet started coughing.
Daya (rubbing her back) - Kya hua Abhijeet! Ye lo paani piyo (he offered him a glass of water)
Abhijeet sipped the water while Tarika was glaring at him angrily.
Shreya saw both of them she was confused why Tarika is angry
Purvi (giggling) - Aree sir! Pehle puri baat to Sun lijiye. Ye khana doctor tarika ne bilkul nahi banaya hai ye saara khana Shreya ne banaya hai!
Abhijeet took a relief sigh hearing that.
Abhijeet - thank god! Agar Tarika Ji ne banaya hota to (he looked at Tarika she was fuming in anger) to to baat hi kuch aur hoti! Meri Tarika to lajawab khana banati hai
Daya and everyone started laughing seeing Abhijeet's condition.
Tarika (angrily) - Abhijeet! Mai itna bhi bura khana nahi banati hu. At least mene tumhare liye try to kiya tha. Lekin tum! leave it mujhe tumse baat hi nahi karni hai (and she angrily went from there)
Abhijeet (holding his head) - gai bhains paani mai! Tum log breakfast enjoy karo mai jara madam ki gaaliya enjoy karta hu (and he too went behind Tarika calling her name)
Shreya (in mind) - Abhijeet sir aur Dr. Tarika ki chemistry kitni achi hai na. Kitne ache lagte hai dono saath mai (and she smiled)
Purvi - arre Shreya! Kaha kho gai? Daya sir ko halwa to serve kar unnka favourite hai gajar ka halwa
Shreya smiled and served him the Halwa.
Daya was continuously staring at her while eating the halwa. Purvi noticed it
Purvi (teasingly) - Daya sir! Ye to bataiye aapko halwa kaisa laga? Shreya ne bade hi pyaar se aapke liye banaya hai
Daya (looked at Purvi) - acha bana hai!
Purvi - acha ki bahut acha?
Daya (fake smile) - bahut acha hai!
Daya (in mind) - ye halwa bilkul vaisa hi hai jaisa meri Muskaan banati thi mere liye. Pata nahi kyu jab bhi Shreya ko dekhta hu aisa lagta hai Shreya ke roop mai meri Muskaan mere saamne khadi hai!
Daya looked at Shreya! She asked him "what happened" in sign language. He nodded his head in "nothing" and they both smiled.
Shreya went to the terrace where Tarika's scolding session was going on and Abhijeet was standing there like a obedient kid.
Abhijeet - ab gussa chorr bhi dijiye Tarika Ji!
Aapko bhale hi khana Banana naa aata ho lekin mai to fir bhi aapse hi pyaar karta hu!
Tarika - tum kehna kya chahte ho Abhijeet! Maana mujhe khana Banana nahi aata par mai at least try to kar rahi hu na. Mai tumse baat hi kyu kar rahi hu! Just go I don't want to talk to you
Shreya - mai aap logo ko disturb to nahi kar rahi?
Tarika - acha hua tu aa gai Shreya!
Shreya (smiled) - Dr. Tarika itna gussa acha nahi hota! Aap ye halwa khaiye aapka gussa thoda thanda ho jaayega
Abhijeet - haan haan! Khilao khilao halwa khilao! Kam se kam meri jaan to nahi khayegi (in slow voice)
Tarika - kya kaha tumne Abhijeet?
Shreya - ab aap log jhagdana band kijiye please! Hum yaha holiday par aaye hai yaha to at least mat jhagda kijiye.
Dr. Tarika mai aapko khana Banana sikhaungi aur dekhna aap itna acha khana banaoge ki Abhijeet sir ungliya chat'te reh jaayenge!
Tarika (happily) - sach mai tum mujhe khana Banana sikhaogi?
Shreya (smiled) - haan
Tarika happily hugged her "Thank you so much Shreya! You are the best. Tujhe pata hai Shreya mujhe humesha se ek bahen chahiye thi aaj mujhe meri bahen mil gai"
Abhijeet - excuse me! Dr. Tarika.
Shreya meri bahen hai aapki nahi. To meri bahen ko apni bahen bulana band kijiye
Tarika broke the hug and turned to Abhijeet.
Tarika - ohh really! Abhijeet? Aur ye sab Kab hua?
Abhijeet (wrapped her hand around Shreya's shoulder) - jab se Shreya CID mai aayi hai usska sabse jyada support mene hi kiya hai! Kyu Shreya mai bhai nahi hu kya tumhara?
Shreya's eyes filled with tears hearing this she hugged Abhijeet!
Tarika nodded her head in disappointment.
Tarika - offo! Shreya ab ye senti mat ho (and the trio hugged)
Daya saw them from a distance he was smiling seeing all of them together! Abhijeet was his only family and Shreya was Abhijeet's favourite.
Daya (in mind) - Muskaan ki tarah Shreya bhi Abhijeet ki favourite hai! Pata nahi iss ladki mai aisa Kya hai? naa cahhte hue bhi mai isski taraf khincha chala jaa raha hu! Meri Muskaan ki bahut saari baate mujhe Shreya mai dikhti hai. Pata nahi kya ho raha hai mujhe?
And next day they all returned back to Mumbai.
Some Days later -
It was Shreya's birthday today! Abhijeet organized a party for her in a restaurant.
Whole CID team was gathered there.
Daya was seating on a chair when Shreya came there. She was wearing a Blue color gown with her hairs open and was not looking less than a princess.
Daya was staring at her continuously he just lost in her beauty.
Abhijeet (teasingly) - Daya! Muhh band kar le nahi to makhi ghus jaayegi
Daya felt embarrassed. He started looking here and there.
Shreya reached near him.
Abhijeet side hugged Shreya and wished her.
Abhijeet - bahut sundar lag rahi ho bilkul pari ki tarah!
Shreya (smiled) - thank you sir!
Abhijeet - sir nahi Bhaiya bolo!
Shreya (with happy tears) - Bhaiya!
Abhijeet patted her cheeks and left both of them alone.
Daya - Happy Birthday Shreya!
Shreya - Thank You sir!
Daya - ye tumhare liye (he gave her a box)
She opened the box it was a beautiful pair of diamond earrings!
Shreya(happily) - bahut sundar hai sir! Thank You.
Daya (unknowingly) - par tumse jyada nahi!
Shreya was shocked to hear this she couldn't believe her ears.
Shreya - kya kaha sir aapne?
Daya just realised what he said.
Daya (avoiding eye contact) - nahi! Mera matlab hai tum par ye earrings sundar lagenge (and he left from there)
While Shreya was standing there smiling.
After sometime Shreya cutted the cake and the party started.
Everyone were dancing while Daya and Shreya were seating there looking at each other.
Meanwhile Kavin came there.
Kavin (happily) - may I have a dance with this beautiful girl? (forwarding his hand)
Shreya smiled and went with him on the dance floor.
Kavin and Shreya started dancing holding each other's hands.
While Daya felt jealous seeing Shreya dancing with someone else.
Meanwhile Abhijeet came near Daya he saw him and understood the whole matter.
Abhijeet - kya hua Daya? Tu thik to hai?
Daya - mujje kya hoga mai bilkul thik hu! Dekho to Shreya kitni khusi khusi dance kar rahi hai Kavin ke saath!
Abhijeet(teasingly)- haaan! Dekho na dono kitne ache lag rahe hai saath mai
Daya (jealous) - khak ache lag rahe hai saath mai! Shreya kehti hai ki vo mujhse pyaar karti hai mere saath bhi to dance kar sakti thi vo!
Abhijeet - haan kar sakti thi! Lekin tune ussko pucha hi kab dance karne ke liye.
Daya - haan to vo bhi to puch sakti thi!
Abhijeet nodded his head in disappointment!
Abhijeet - tujhe kyu itna bura lag raha hai Daya? Vo chahe kisi ke saath bhi dance kare! tujhe kyu farak pad raha hai?
Daya (trying to hide) - mujhe kyu farak padega! Chahe vo kisi ke saath bhi dance kare
Abhijeet - abhi bhi vaqt hai Daya! Samajh jaa isse pehle ki bahut der ho jaaye.
Daya (looked at Abhijeet) - Kya matlab hai tumhara Abhijeet?
Abhijeet - tujhe dekhkar koi andha bhi bata sakta hai ki tu pyaar karne laga hai Shreya se! Kavin to Purvi ke liye reserved hai lekin Shreya jaisi itni achi ladki ke liye ladko ki kami nahi hai lekin puri duniya ko chorrkar vo tujhse pyaar karti hai! Abhi bhi vaqt hai Daya samajh jaa! apna le Shreya ko (and he left from there)
Daya (in mind) - Kya mai sach mai pyaar karne laga hu Shreya se?
He looked at Shreya she saw him and smiled.
