Thankyou so much guys for your reviews! Again a long chapter, so I want more reviews too…

Hero: I know yarr, it got unnecessarily long. Just bear with this one chapter more. Thanks for your feedback dude, meant a lot. And yeah Love track is a big challenge for me, I don't know if I'll ever write it.

Brawny: Thanks dude and yeah the twist is in later chapters…stay tuned.

And guys not to worry, I am having two options for the LR sequel one was his love life ( On request of some ) and the second is about revealing his own life. I mean how did he become a cop so that would be highlighted and secondly an imaginary character would come from London. So the main plot in one line is " When the laid-back present answers the ambitious past " Choice is yours if you want the sequel, if not then too please tell me. But yeah, don't expect it sooner. I am not going to start just after this, it will take time.

Chapter 29

Finally, after a lot of laughs, leg-pulling, and running, Abhijeet excitedly moved with everyone into his room.

Entering the room, they were amazed by the cuteness and beauty of the room.

It was an attic-roof room with wooden flooring, quite spacious than other rooms in the dorm. The windows gave a beautiful view of the campus and the river. The walls were decorated with picture clips string light and stickers.

ACP looking around: Kitna achcha hai tumhara room Abhi

Abhijeet smiled cutely: Sir itne time yahi raha hu mein achcha to hona hi tha…

Shivani in loving smile: Bilkul tumhari tarah cute hai tumhara room bhi…

Abhijeet smiled sweetly at her…

Aditya smilingly: Aunty aapko maloom hai yeh room ek aisa tha jisme har koi bina permission ke aata tha…( Abhijeet embarrassed while he continued chuckling ) yeh bechara chota tha aur chillata rehta tha ki knock karke aao par koi sunta hi nahi tha…

Everyone laughed a bit at him as he was standing averting his gaze with a shy smile.

After some time of campus touring and meeting people. Abhijeet with his friends was sitting on the steps casually talking while the elders were busy watching the museum…

Varun in disappointment: Guys itne boring kaise ho sakte hai hum log…kuch to karenge na yarr

Aditya nodded in agreement: Mein bhi to tabse vohi keh raha hu ki night out karte hai aaj…

Abhijeet sarcastically: Taaki Apoorv uncle aur ACP sir har roz humara night out karwaye…

Aditya annoyed: Abe yarr kuch nahi hoga chill ( secretly ) Raat ko niklenge ( stressing ) chup ke se

Soft laughs escaped from every mouth seeing him…

Rahul: Chalo done bro aaj raat ko hum ( saw girls and asked suddenly ) tum log bhi chaloge…

Pragya surprised: Yeh puchne ki baat hai…

Navya with narrow eyes: Tumhe lagta hai tum humare bina jaa paaoge…

Rahul murmur: Ha kismet se peecha kaha chudaya jaata hai…

The trio boys hide their smile on this murmur…

Navya angrily hearing that mumble: Ab tum puchna kuch exam me ( showing finger ) ek answer nahi bataungi…

Rahul: Ha ha toh exams to ho gaye ( taunting ) kal commencement hai madam

Everyone looked around to control their laugh seeing Navya's total anger face…

Navya standing in anger: Ruko tum…abhi jaa rahi hu mein dean ke paas aur batati hu ki tumne kitni cheating ki hai exams me ( Rahul made an "anything else" face while she added in teasing smile ) aur unke garden ka Autumn Crocus shrub tumne hi kharab kiya tha ( Rahul's eyes widened in shock )

Rahul shockingly: Tumhe kaise pata…

Navya shrugged: Ab dean ko bhi pata chal jayega…she started moving while Rahul hurridely stopped her…

Rahul sweetly: Aree yarr tu meri kitni achchi dost hai aisa karegi…( looked at others ) hum paancho jayenge

na aaj haina…

Varun nodded in excitement: Paint ball khelne chale…

Abhijeet excitedly: Yes maze aayenge paint ball me…

Aditya: Aaj paintball aur ceremony ke baad XOYO chalenge…almost pura college vahi jaa raha hai celebrate karne…

Everyone nodded in smiles…

At Night;

They were done with their dinner and gone into their respective rooms with their families.

Abhijeet was sitting on the bed when got a message from Adi, " Bro, sab pahochne waale hai taiyarr ho gaya? "

He texted back " Abe abhi ACP sir aayenge dekhne ki soya ya nahi isliye pehele acting karunga sone ki "

His phone beeped again " To chat kya kar raha hai sone ki ACTING kar naa "

Abhijeet made an annoyed face: Yeh Adi na aur ACTING kya isko lag raha hai mein so jaunga khud to..

He stops in mid hearing the sound of footsteps on the staircase. So he hurriedly kept his phone on the bedside table and ducked inside the blanket pretending to sleep. After a moment his room door opened silently and ACP came inside with caution and smiled seeing him drifted into a peaceful sleep. He went near and settled his quilt properly.

ACP ruffling his hair in loving smile: Chalo so gaya nahi to isko sulana toh case solve karne se zyada mushkil hai…( Abhijeet hardly managed a frown with this allegation while he kept a hand on his forehead ) Vaise bhi kal to janab ko pure din uchalna hi hai isliye achcha hua jaldi so gaya aaj bhi ek minute ke liye chein nahi liya isne…

He caressed his head for once and stamped a soft good night kiss on his forehead before going out…

Hearing the door closing sound, Abhijeet opened his eyes with a cute smile and immediately sat on the bed.

Abhijeet proudly: Kya baat hai Abhi…sahi bolta hai Adi films me try kar sakta hai tu

He laughed a bit at his own thought and hurriedly stood up. He was ready beforehand and just wore his shoes before escaping.

He noticed the light of ACP sir's room was already off. Tip-toeing, he went downstairs and with the same caution left the room. Adi also met him near and both ran outside where their friends were waiting.

Varun annoyingly: Kaha reh gaye the yarr tum log bhi hadd karte ho kabse wait kar rahe hai…

Pragya teasingly: Aur kya patrollers kitni baar aagye…agli baar to Rahul ko pakd ke hi le jaate…

Rahul glared at her: Yarr tujhe aur Navya ko problem kya hai mujhse…

Navya instantly: Mein batati hu…( Rahul crossed his arms at the chest while she continued emphasizing) Tum na

Varun immediately interrupted before the everlasting fight starts: Ab chale isse pehele police hume le jaaye enquiry ke liye…

Rahul and Navya glared at each other once and nodded.

Abhijeet in slight confusion: Tum log bikes pe kyu aaye ho…

Aditya sitting on on bike: Abe raat ko bikes pe hi toh maza aata hai aur agar resort se car li hoti toh pata chal jaata…

Abhijeet: Par teen bikes kaise laaye tum log…

Rahul taunted while sitting behind Varun: Phulan devi ko bhool raha hai tu

Navya shouted: Rahul…

Everyone laughed a bit seeing them…

Aditya smilingly: Chal bhai uthale ek bike tu bhi…

Abhijeet smiled a bit but remembered his promise to ACP sir " Mein nahi chalaunga bike sir promise "

He jerked a bit by Varun's voice,

Varun impatiently: Abe kaha kho gaya beith na

Abhijeet in a small smile: Navya bike tu hi chala mera mann nahi hai…

Navya shrugged casually while sitting on the bike: Okays…par kal tujhe chalani padegi ( winked ) I'll be in heels na…

Rahul scoffed: Kuposhn ka asar…

Everyone covered their mouths to choke their laughter while Navya looks him open-mouthed…

Navya recovering from shock asked in disbelief: Tumne kya ( But before she completes herself, Varun drove off followed by Aditya and she angrily turned towards Abhijeet who gave her a sweet-fake smile )

Abhijeet: Chale hum bhi…

Navya jerked her head and started the bike still grumbling angrily: Khud saade che foot ka hai iska matlab yeh nahi isse lamba koi hai hi nahi…ek kaam to aata nahi hai khud ko

Abhijeet sweetly to save himself from anger: Isliye to mein Rahul ke saath nahi gaya na aur tumhe bola bike chalane ke liye

Navya smiled a bit and both followed them…

After a few hours of thorough enjoyment, all came back to the resort. It was almost 2:35 am, Except for Adi and Abhi everyone had to return back to the campus. They stopped their bikes and got down but just when both turned to enter got froze on their places to see their parents standing and watching them with fiery eyes…

ACP angrily: Kaha gaye the tum log haan…time ka kuch hosh hai ya nahi

Everyone got down from the bikes and stood down-head.

Apoorv in anger: Ghadi dekhi hai tum me se kisi ne…bina bataye kisiko aise bikes pe ghum rahe ho

ACP loudly in anger: Bolege ab kuch yaa khade rahoge bhoot banke

The youngsters shivered a bit with the loud angry tone seeing which,

Shivani immediately: ACP sahab bachche hai voh aapke mujrim nahi joh aise puch tach kar rahe hai…

ACP trying to calm himself but said in anger: Time dekha hai aapne itni raat gaye yeh log aise awarro ki tarah ghum rahe hai sadko pe…

Apoorv sternly: Kaha gaye the tum log…

Friends exchanged glances trying to gather some courage…

Aditya stammering: Da..dad voh hum matlab aise hi ghumne, downed his head getting angry glares

ACP in a bit teasing: Lekin Abhijeet tum toh so gaye the na ( in fake confusion ) firr tum kaha chale gaye the…

Abhijeet looked at his friends down-head but all gave him a look " You cover-up "

Abhijeet cleared his throat a bit: Voh sir matlab mein to ( seeing the stern gaze fixed over himself he stopped for a moment bowing his head down and then suddenly exclaimed in an excited smile ) Sir mein to khabri se milne gaya tha…

The friends closed their mouths tightly and dipped their heads deeper to control laughing. Shivani too turned her face to another side to hide her laugh seeing his excited face. Apoorv and Sunita were also hiding their smile while ACP despite trying a lot broke into a smile…

Aditya pinched Abhijeet: Abe khabri ke bhai London me hai tu…

Abhijeet shocked and bite his tongue. He looked at ACP who had managed a serious face till then…

Abhijeet in nervous smile rubbing his forehead: Voh sir mujhe yaad nahi raha mein yaha hu toh…

ACP completed in teasing smile: Flow mein bahana maar diya…

Abhijeet turned his head down with a shy smile…

Aditya feeling the ice has broken said in a low apologetic tone: Dad aur sir hum log paint ball khelne gaye the…unke night slots hote hai toh…

Apoorv in serious tone: Tum log bata bhi sakte the na hum ko…

Aditya down head: Hume laga aap mana kar doge…

Apoorv shook his head and turned to others: Aur tum log bhaag ke aaye ho campus se

All instantly nodded in no…

Rahul: Uncle voh iss waqt sabki families aayi hui haina toh bahar jaane ki permission hai…

Apoorv seriously: Aur tum sab ke parents kaha hai…

Varun: Uncle hum sabki families kal pahochengi…

Apoorv nodded…

ACP warning: Aaj ke baad agar tum log aise gaye ho toh khud soch lena tumhara kya hoga…

Their faces turned gloomy but all nodded slightly…

Shivani requesting: Pradyuman voh log kuch to karenge na aapne pehele jaane se mana nahi kiya hota toh voh aise jaate hi nahi…

Sunita supporting her: Vohi to ab holidays me kuch to karenge na voh…

All looked at them pleadingly, ACP and Apoorv sighed…

Apoorv nodded: Theek hai lekin tum log itni late bahar nahi rahoge ( All instantly nodded in big yes )

ACP : Aur kaha aur kiske saath jaaoge voh bhi bataoge…

Again got yes in pendulum moments…

ACP smiled a bit: Firr jaa sakte ho…

All faces instantly lit up and Abhijeet just hugged him tightly in excitement…

Abhijeet happily: Thank you sir thank you so much…

ACP smiled lovingly at him and rubbed his head's back: Ab bhai Senior Inspector Abhijeet ne chutti li hai toh unki holidays boring thodi ho sakti hai…

Abhijeet chuckled softly while separating from the hug while others also smiled…

Rahul smilingly: Hum log bhi chalte hai kal ceremony me milenge…

Other friends too nodded and were about to leave when Apoorv stopped them

Apoorv: Beta kaafi raat ho gayi hai yahi ruk jaao hmm…

They were going to refuse but seeing the seriousness nodded quietly and all moved inside…

Aditya asked in a bit of disbelief while walking: Dad hum pakka jaa sakte haina kahi bhi…( Apoorv nodded casually while he asked again to reconfirm) Raat ko bhi na…

Apoorv casually: Ha jaa sakte ho ( Aditya smiled broadly while he added in complete casual tone ) Lekin bass mujhe tum log 12 baje se pehele vapas chahiye ho…( Aditya smile vanish )

Aditya shockingly: Dad barah baje se pehele to kuch khas hota bhi nahi…kaafi cheeze to khulti hi barah baje ke baad hai

Apoorv shrugged: Toh matt jaao pehele bhi…and he turned into his corridor.

Aditya made an annoyed face and followed him trying to convince while everyone shook their heads in smiles as they knew Apoorv was just teasing him.

Everyone went into their rooms. Girls stayed with Abhijeet as there was one spare room and the other two boys with Aditya as there too was one spare room. The third extra room booked by them was already canceled not allowing them to live separately.

The next day, students left early morning for the ceremony. Others left by mid-morning to attend the commencement. They had dressed formally for the event. Reaching the campus, Abhijeet was the center of attraction for almost every staff member and student. He was in a three-piece black suit looking awesome and he also had a speech as the ritual of alumnus afternoon addresses.

The ceremonies with speeches, greetings, and introductions went till evening and ended with the final formal party at night.

The whole day went there in enjoyment, teases, laughs, hugs along with tears of pain for leaving their campus, friends, and teachers as well as promises to stay in touch.

Returning to their resort, their other friends had gone with their families to their respective lodges. That night all were too tired to go somewhere out so had moved to their rooms to take a rest.

The next day too went in shopping and touring the city attractions, when having enough of it and getting really tired with the kid's lifestyle, the elders backed off saying to just rest before returning back to their works…

That night, the friends had gone to a club where most of their college-mates have planned to celebrate.

At Night, around 1 am;

ACP was roaming around in tension…

Shivani observing him silently for few minutes spoke finally: ACP sahab itni tension kyu le rahe hai aap…saare dost ek saath hi toh hai…

ACP in tension: Shivani itni raat gaye aise ghum rahe hai yeh log upar se yaha London me kuch problem ho gayi toh Mumbai me to ho jaata manage firr bhi…

Shivani: ACP sahab bachche itne samay se hai yaha…London me pure comfortable hai voh chinta matt kijiye….

ACP nodding in tension: Firr bhi Shivani…yeh dance club me voh bhi itni late ( jerked his head ) mujhe to bahot tension ho rahi hai…( in worried-anger ) Phone bhi nahi utha raha koi upar se…

Shivani sighed remaining silent as she couldn't deny this because she was tensed too but tried to stay calm knowing ACP sir always take more worries than required hence she has to stay composed.

After some moments,

ACP seeing her still awake: Tum so jaao Shivani mein wait kar raha hu…

Shivani in small smile: Aapko lagta hai mujhe neend aayegi jab tak Abhi sahi se vapas aa nahi jaata…

ACP smiled a bit and both kept waiting there though tension was increasing with each minute…

After some moments, ACP sir's phone rang making them jerk out of their silent prayers…

ACP receiving the phone in confusion seeing an unknown number: Hello?

He heard someone unknown from another side, But what he heard shook him to the core and he just sat on the couch with a thud!
