Chapter 20: Reunite.

DAYA and SHREYA come out of the taxi, KAJAL and VINEET get down the car, Two bikers removed their helmet to reveal VIVEK and TASHA and a young girl in her early 20's get down the helicopter through the rope ladder.

Funally police got down their van surprised at the chaotically confused scene.

ABHIJEET asked: DAYA, SHREYA? What are you two doing here?'

DAYA: Boss, I went to Ooty for two days holiday with my wife and to spend more time with each other we were returning to Mumbai through long route via Bangalore by train. I got message from PURVI's device yesterday evening. We got so worried and left the train. What were you doing with your phone? Whenever I tried to call you either it was busy or unreachable.'

Then looking at PURVI, DAYA continued: Are you all right? And where is your phone? I called to your number and it was received by some ANU.'

Then DAYA's eyes fell on RAJAT and TARIKA as he asked: You two are also here?'

ABHIJEET came forward to calm down his friend: DAYA, first take a breath. It's a long story and everything is fine now. RAJAT and PURVI got in trouble because of a misunderstanding so we ended up here together.'

SHREYA looking at RAJVI asked: Again?'

PURVI bite her tongue realizing: l forgot DAYA BHAI S number was also on my emergency list and he too got the message. I just ruined their honeymoon.

RAJAT exclaimed: Honeymoon?

While TARIKA asked DAREYA in surprised: You two are married?

ABHIJEET asked her: You didn't know?'

TARIKA nodded in no as DAYA and SHREYA looked at each other.

ABHIJEET said: It happens. Sometime they themselves forget that they are married.'

Now turning at KAJAL and VINEET, TARIKA and RAJAT whispered at a time: KAJAL/VINEET.'

KAJAL came forward asking: Where is he?'

ABHIRIKA and RAJVI asked: Who?'

Finally the man popped up between RAJAT and PURVI, who was hiding all this while behind the two.

Seeing him ABHIRIKA and DAREYA exclaimed: SACHIN?'

SACHIN shrugged off and VINEET was in shock to see the man for whom his sister break the traffic rules all the way here.

FLASHBACK -

CID Office Mumbai -

After DAYA left with SHREYA, SACHIN said behind his back: Why do I need to find a girlfriend when I already have one.'

He left the office, packed his bag and took the bus for Bangalore.

Next Day: OJAS Mall -

KAJAL was talking to SACHIN in phone as they planned to meet at the mall and seeing VINEET there she got fazed.

She postponed her plan to meet SACHIN explaining him the situation. And they met after the get-together lunch.

After spending two days with KAJAL, SACHIN was returning to Mumbai by bus.

The bus stopped for half an hour to a stop for passengers to have breakfast there.

SACHIN get down the bus walking to the street, talking to KAJAL on phone where RAJAT and PURVI bumped to him.

KAJAL on the phone heard him exclaiming RAJAT and PURVI's name and then whispering 'Durgeshwar ke gunde'.

KAJAL worriedly asked in phone: Hello SACHIN... SACHIN, what happened? SACHIN answer me.'

SACHIN while running realized the phone is still on so he answered: Hello KAJAL, Aaj agar mai zinda bacha to phir milenge.'

And he cuts the call running from the goons.

KAJAL saw from her flat window, VINEET who just dropped her to her flat and was returning home was still there. She ran down the building and pushed VINEET to the passenger seat taking the driver seat.

Startled VINEET: Hey! This is open intrusion!' KAJAL: Just keep your mouth shut and seatbelt tight! Otherwise your existence will be extruded from the earth.'

And she drove recklessly breaking 15 signals, 2 check posts and 1 toll plaza covering one and half hours distance within half an hour.

FLASHBACK END.

ABHIJEET and DAYA looking at VIVESHA asked in surprise: VIVEK, TASHA?'

VIVEK come forward: CID officer Bangalore, sir.'

TASHA: CID officer Kolkata, sir.'

Duo stare the two in amaze and proud.

TARIKA to Duo and KAJAL to VIVEK asked: Do you guys know each other?'

VIVEK and TASHA nodded with a smile and ABHIJEET explained: We were invited at the training academy to give a speech about the real life experience of the officers at the field to the candidates.'

DAYA continued: There we met the two. He was the quickest and she was the smartest in the batch.'

ABHIJEET: It's great to know that you become CID officers.'

DAYA: And it's really nice to see you two again.'

ABHIJEET: But how do you two are here?'

VIVEK: Sir, we were on a bike tour. I got a call from KAJAL knowing something is wrong and we were nearest to the location. So we rushed in here.'

KAJAL explained: I heard RAJAT and PURVI's name in SACHIN's phone. So for any worse case I call him for back up.'

Then everybody turned at the unknown girl.

Reading the questioning look on their faces the girl came forward introducing herself: I am RUHANA, daughter of Home Minister. I aspire to become a CID officer in future. I assist the patrolling team as part time. I was monitoring the traffic route and ended up here following the reckless vehicle here.'

But the truth in her eyes that nobody knows was, she was worried about the person in the vehicle.

Meanwhile RAJAT notices it and asked VINEET: Who is she? She was staring only you all this while?'

VINEET whispered back: College me udti huyi rumor aayi thi ke Minister ki daughter ko mujhpe crush hai aur aaj ye khud udte huye aayi hai. I didn't care about the rumors then...'

RAJAT cut in: But rumor actually turned out to be a reality.'

VINEET nodded and PURVI who was standing beside RAJAT overheard it, said to VINEET: You are lucky.'

RAJAT and VINEET looked at her as she said: Girlfriend nahi hai phir bhi tumhari itni care karti hai. To socho girlfriend banne ke baad kitni care karegi?'

RAJAT agreed: She has a point.'

PURVI: Don't lose her.'

VINEET smiled looking at RUHANA and said: I won't.'

Then he turned back at the two asking RAJAT about PURVI: By the way, who is she?'

RAJAT: She is PURVI.'

PURVI: And we are...'

She looked at RAJAT who looked back at her not knowing what to say.

PURVI finally said: We are known strangers.'

RAJAT gave what's that look to PURVI and VINEET asked confused: Known strangers?'

RAJAT tried to explain: Um... We are fellow humans who fell in trouble again and again together.'

PURVI: And our siblings turn out to be colleagues, so that's why we are... known strangers.'

RAJVI satisfied with their explanation finally nodded at VINEET: Yes.

VINEET looked confused and amused at a time: Wow... You two complement each other so well.'

He asked flabbergasted: RAJAT! How could it possible on earth that you found a girlfriend and I don't know about it at all?'

RAJAT answered annoyed: It's possible on earth because she is not my girlfriend.'

VINEET cut him saying: Then make her. You both are single and one man/woman person. You two will make a perfect weirdo couple together.'

Glancing at RUHANA's direction he said the two: I am going to protect mine and don't let go of each other either.'

And he headed towards RUHANA's direction.

PURVI asked RAJAT: How does he know I am single?'

RAJAT: He is the love guru of his college. Just looking in people s eyes he can say about their personality. Anyways, don't mind his words. He is a bit cynical.

PURVI smiled: but he is nice.'

RAJAT looked at her and she said: Let s go there.'

Other side ABHIJEET asked RUHANA: So, you came with police?'

RUHANA nodded in no.

ABHIJEET now surprised: Then who call the police?'

KAJAL looked uneasy while VINEET shook his head walking to the police officer and requested: Sir, that girl (showing KAJAL) hijacked me with my car causing all the troubles behind. I am the victim here not criminal. Please let me go and arrest her.'

KAJAL glared him from her place cursing: You jerk. I will see you later.'

KAJAL walked to the police officer explaining the situation.

All the couples stood in front of the police as they called someone and get confirmed that except the 4 students and villagers, they all are CID officers.

Police let go the matter and leaves the scene not before giving a warning to KAJAL for her reckless driving.

Now all the couples looked at each-other and others.

Ishq Se Saari Khushiya,

DAREYA happily held each other's hand smiling at each other.

Ishq Hi Barbaadi,

SAJAL looked at each other as they never expected that their relationship will get revealed to others this way.

Ishq Hai Pabandi Lekin,

RUVI looked at each other with admiration and a bit hesitation too.

Ishq Hi Aazadi,

The love birds VIVESHA smiled at each other lovingly.

Ishq Ki Duniya Me Yaaro Khwabo Ki Aabadi,

ABHIJEET looked at TARIKA with his confused yet longing heart.

Kho Gaya Wo Jisko Manzil Ishq Me Dikhladi,

PURVI and RAJAT looked at each other clueless.

Dekho Pyare Ye Nazaare, Ye Deewane, Ye Parwane

Hai Ishq Me Kaise Gum

Time stopped for them as they looked in each other's eyes.

Haaye Tumse Milke Dil Ka Hai Jo Kya Kahein,

Ho Gaya hai kya Kamaal Kya Kahein

There was different kind of emotions in each heart, love, respect, admiration, uneasiness, nervousness, hesitation and a feeling of fear.

But still they have the satisfaction that everything is fine and they have the person they like right by their side as they smiled at each other.

Their moment break as they heard a horn. A man comes to them asking for TARIKA.

TARKA came forward and the man gave her a car key. TARIKA thanked the man from the truck stop to drive the car all the way there after refueling it.

TARIKA tossed the key at ABHIJEET who catches it as TARIKA said: your car is here. Pay the bill.'

ABHIJEET was happy to see his car and paid the bill.

All the CID Officers greeted each other shaking hands as it wasn't a normal incident when they get to meet the aspiring officers and the officers of different branches of the organization they work for.

VINEET was With RUHANA, DAREYA was busy with SACHIN taking his class for hiding about his girlfriend and TARIKA was talking with her Bangalore team when RAJAT nudged ABHIJEET from behind.

ABHIJEET turned around to see RAJVI standing in front of him as showed his handcuffed requesting him with innocent eyes to open it.

ABHIJEET: Why don't you ask your sister?'

RAJAT: She will shoot me right away.'

ABHIJEET feigned an angry look at them scolding: Why won't she?'

ABHIJEET stared the two from top to toe to see PURVI in shoes, taping her feet in nervousness while RAJAT was just in socks.

ABHIJEET said angrily making the two look up: Bhaagne ki bhi had hoti hai. Do you even know where are you two standing right now?'

The two nodded negative clueless.

ABHIJEET gestured them towards a nearby building board and the two was shocked to see at end of the address written: Bangalore?'

ABHIJEET continued: Agar yahi speed rahti to parso tak Sri lanka pahoch jate.'

RAJAT: I am sorry sir, next time bilkul nahi bhagunga aur aapki sister ko leke to bilkul bhi nahi bhagunga. Please, forgive it this time.'

PURVI coaxed her brother: BHAI, it's really all my fault not his. Please unlock it.'

ABHIJEET's heart melt but he again doubted: No, I don't risk with your sister. What if I release you and the next hand in the handcuff will be mine.'

RAJAT: No sir, my sister is really nice to you that she was not to anyone in her whole life. She won't do such a thing to you. Please.'

ABHIJEET: Ok, just for this time.'

RAJVI at a time: Thank you.'

ABHIJEET unlocked the handcuffed and asked: By the way, why they were chasing you?'

RAJAT looked at PURVI and PURVI looked other way making an excuse: Oh, they are leaving. We should say bye to them.'

She ran towards others direction and ABHIJEET looked at RAJAT.

RAJAT gave him a quick smile and escaped following PURVI.

After the Bangalore team left, Mumbai team looked at each other.

ABHIJEET asked DAYA: Do you want to continue your journey by train?

DAYA: What Boss? God itself bring us together, then how can I go separate ways.'

SHREYA: And we really missed you in last two days.'

DAREYA looking at each other said: So, we will complete rest of the journey together with you two.

PURVI: That s great! Finally at last we are having a family trip.

DAYA looked at SACHIN: What about you?

SACHIN: Nothing is great than having accompany as long as they are your family. I am in!

Then they turned at the weird sibling.

TARIKA said: All right, we have two vehicles and 7 persons. So, decide who is going with whom?

PURVI and SACHIN undoubtedly walked to TARIKA standing beside her.

ABHIJEET looked between DAREYA and TARIKA and tossed his key DAYA saying: You two should have some privacy. So take the car.

DAYA mischievously smiled at ABHIJEET getting a glare from him in return and thumbs up at him: All right and thank you.'

DAYA drove with SHREYA in car while TARIKA drove the jeep behind them with ABHIJEET beside her and RAJVI & SACHIN at the backseats of the open jeep.

ABHIJEET smiled to himself thinking someone has truely said everuthing happens for good.

Note:

Song Name: Tumse milke dil ka jo hai haal from Main Hoon Na movie.

I don't know who paired RUHANA opposite VINEET that become a epic pair because I didn't find RUHANA's character anywhere in the CID cast but I am using the character in my story. So, I hope nobody feels bad about it.

Please forgive me for any kind of mistakes.

Thank you all the Readers and Reviewers.
