SOME UNTOLD INCIDENTS
Abhijeet: (yelling) "Are Tanu, jaldi karo na. Kitna time laga rahi ho tum tayyar hone me?"
ACP: (instantly keeping his mobile and placing his hand on his ear) "Abhijeet… kitni jor se chilla rahe ho tum… Aa jayegi woh, thoda sabar karo."
In the mean time, Tanishka came and sat between Abhijeet and ACP sir.
Tanishka: "Lo, aa gayi. Ab chillana band kariye aur shuru kijiye. Sab wait kar rahe hai."
Abhijeet: "Haan, haan jaise mai hi late kar raha tha… (to readers) Hello FF readers, kaise hai aap sab? Bhai, pata nahi kin shabdo me mai aapka shukriya adaa karu… Thankyou to all for reviewing so generously… Ab aap yeh soch rahe honge ki story toh khatam ho gayi, phir hum yaha kya kar rahe hai? Toh dara –"
Tanishka: (smiling sweetly) "Papaa… hum bhi kuch bol le?"
Abhijeet rolled his eyes but nodded in yes.
Tanishka: "Thankyou. So… friends, darasal humari writer sahiba ke paas ek sweet aur pyaari si request aayi thi ki story me Tanishka ki yani meri extraordinary abilities thodi acche se flashbacks ke through samjhayi jaye, par story jis tarah progress ho rahi thi usme woh add karna possible nahi hua. Toh humari writer sahiba ne socha ki kyu na woh aur baaki ke jo untold points woh compile karke alag se bataye jaye, kyu Dadu?"
ACP: "Haa, bilkul… Jaise aaplog Youtube par movies ke deleted scenes dekhte ho, yeh thoda waisa hi kuch hai… Toh aaj hum teeno milkar aapko kuch aise hi UNTOLD INCIDENTS sunane wale hai. Toh Abhijeet tumse hi shuru karte hai."
Abhijeet: "Jee sir. Toh doston, baat hai yeh tab ki jab meri pyaari Tanu just paida huyi thi. Tab Minu toh thi nahi, toh ghar me jaise Tanu ki hukumat chalti thi… (laughingly) sirf ghar me hi kyu, bureau me bhi… Sab ki laadli thi bilkul… Par Tanu ke saath rehte maine ek baat notice ki thi ki uski grasping power bohot jyada jabardast thi… Jaise ki jab maine pehli baar use dudh ki bottle kaise pakadte hai woh dikhaya tha uske baad jab use bhook lagi to usne apne aap hi woh bottle sahi tarah se pakadkar dudh peena start bhi kar diya tha…. Itna hi nahi, by the time she was 6 months old, woh bureau ke har ek insaan ko by name jaanti thi jab ki hum uske saamne unhe chachu, maasi in naamo se introduce karate the… Aur phir jab around 10 months ki huyi tab toh usne hume ek bada sa shock hi de diya tha… Hua u ki….
Abhijeet and Tanishka were playing in the drawing hall, while Tarika was in the kitchen cooking dinner. It was evening time. Suddenly the doorbell rang and Tarika went to open the door. She didn't actually notice what her hubby and his beloved daughter had done. Tarika opened the door and welcomed the team inside.
Tarika: "Are sir, aaplog aa gaye… Daya toh keh raha tha ki case ke chalte late ho jayega."
Dr. Salunkhe: (laughingly) "Are bhai, apni poti se milne ke chakkar me ACP ne ghode pe sawaar hokar sabse case solve karvaya hai, kyu ACP, sahi kaha na maine?"
ACP: (irritatedly) "Abe Salunkhe, tu kabhi meri burai karne ka mauka chhodta hai? (Dr. Salunkhe nodded in no) Toh phir? Khair…. tujhse behes karke mujhe apna mood nahi kharaab karna… Tarika, kaha hai kaha meri gudiya aur uske pita – shree? Badi shaanti hai ghar me.."
Tarika: (smilingly) "Sir, dono drawing hall me hai. (suspiciously looking at the drawing hall door curtain) Khel rahe hai.."
Daya: "Chalo, dekhe toh kya khel rahe hai…"
All the team members alongwith Tarika entered the drawing hall and were dumbfounded at the sight awaiting them. Our Senior Inspector and his Tough Warrior were sitting in front of a pool of water colour splashed on the floor and were doing writing practice on it. Abhijeet was teaching alphabets to Tanu by holding the index finger of her hand and slowing making her write on that pool. Both were themselves coloured in various colours. All the team members shot a glance at Tarika who was fuming with rage and let out a peel of laughter. Abhijeet and Tanishka looked up at that sound. Abhijeet were at a loss of words seeing Tarika's angry avatar while Tanishka immediately hid herself in her father's chest seeing her mother's angry eyes.
Tarika: (angrily) "Abhi… mai abhi abhi Tanu ko nehelakar tumhare paas chhoda tha aur tumne use phir se ganda kar diya… dekho kya haal hai tum dono ka… aur yeh (pointing towards the alphabet practice) yeh koi tarika hai use alphabets sikhane ka… Ghar me books ki kami hai kya… Tum sama – "
Abhijeet: (softly cutting her in between) "Tarika… Tarika shaant ho jao yaar… mai saaf kar dunga… room bhi aur (lovingly separating his daughter and twitching her nose) apni angel ko bhi… khush?"
Tarika went out of the room to bring Tanishka's clothes muttering angrily and stamping her foot while the team made themselves comfortable.
Daya: "Boss, kaisi chal rahi hai padhaai beti ki?"
Abhijeet: (smilingly) "Ekdum first class… Hai na Tanu?"
Tanishka nodded looking towards Daya with her large, twinkling eyes. Everyone laughed at it.
Abhijeet: "Sir, case kya tha?"
Soon everyone was discussing the case while Tanishka made herself busy with the pool again. She did something and smiled. She looked at her Papa who was now busy in hearing the case update from everyone. She pouted and patted his thigh but in vain.
Tanishka: (trying to hold Abhijeet's arm in her hand and shaking him) "Paaa…."
Everyone looked at her with that sound. She was looking at Abhijeet with anger.
Abhijeet: (immediately making her stand in his lap) "Sorry, sorry, sorry… Mera toh dhyaan hi nahi raha meri Tanu par… Papa is very sorry… Kya baat hai bacche? Aap papa ko bula rahe the, haan?"
Tanishka nodded and pointed towards the pool. Abhijeet and others looked at it and were shocked beyond words. There on the pool, in somewhat shabby handwriting was written "TANISHKA".
Abhijeet: (overcoming his shock and looking at Tanishka) "Yeh… yeh tum… tumne likha?"
Tanishka nodded smilingly. Abhijeet was looking at her with wide eyes. In fact everyone was looking at her with shock. Tarika entered and noticed everyone's shocked gaze on Tanishka.
Tarika: (confused tone) "Kya hua? Aap sab Tanu ko aise kyu dekh rahe hai?"
Abhijeet: (excitedly) "Tarika… yeh… yeh dekho.. (to Tanishka) Tanu, beta papa ka naam likho…"
Tanishka smilingly nodded and wrote his name with perfect spelling on the pool. Tarika just kept looking at those letters. One by one, everyone asked her to write their names on that pool and she wrote them perfectly except for ACP sir whose name was a bit hard for her to write. Abhijeet jumped with joy, twirled with her in his arms and kissed the colourful cheek of his daughter.
"Us din sachme aisa laga jaise zindagi ki sabse badi khushi paa li ho maine. Uske baad toh jaise hum use sab kuch sikhate the. Minu ke janam ke pehle tak toh woh apna khud ka khyaal rakhna bhi sikh gayi thi."
ACP: "Maine aur Daya ne use kitaabo ki duniya dikhayi. Tumhari kami puri karne ke liye woh unhi ka hi sahara lene lagi thi. Aur dheere dheere usne sirf English hi nahi Hindi aur Marathi padhna – likhna bhi sikh liya tha. Shayad… 4 saal ki hone tak use woh aa gaya tha. Itne perfection se nahi par phir bhi basics toh pakke the use. Aur phir us din toh kamaal hi ho gaya….
The four – year – old Tanishka was sitting in the bureau after coming from her school, reading a children's book. Abhijeet had gone to the HQ for submitting a report while the team here was discussing a coded message sent to a contract killer. It had been half an hour since they had been breaking their heads on it. Tanishka looked up to know what's wrong. She starred at the code which was sort of a long chain of numbers with spaces at some random intervals. She thought something, took out a book from her bag and started writing something. She finished it in sometime and went towards ACP sir.
Tanishka: (meekly) "Dadu…."
ACP: (looking at her, composing himself and picking her up in his arms) "Haa, beta bolo… kya hua?"
Tanishka showed him the book and whispered something in his ears. ACP sir looked at her with shock and then looked at the board where the numbers had been written. He took the book from her hands, went to the board and started writing the barakhadi letters below those numbers. So the killer had sent the message by numbering the hindi barakhadi. He completed writing and the board showed a meaningful message.
Nikhil: (amazed) "Sir… yeh toh solve ho gaya… Aapko kaise pata chala?"
ACP: (proudly looking at Tanishka) "Yeh maine nahi… Tanu ne solve kiya hai.."
Tanishka shyly downed her head. Everyone was looking at her who truly deserved to be the Sharp Shine's daughter.
Daya: (patting her head lovingly) "Sach Tanu… aaj toh tumne case ka kitna important part solve karke diya hai hume."
ACP: "Haa… aur isliye (sweetly pulling her cheeks) aaj mai tumhe tum jo maangogi woh dene ke liye tayyar hu. Bolo kya chahiye tumhe? amm… Chocolate?"
Tanishka nodded in no. Everyone was confused as she was crazy for chocolates and refusing it was something very uncanny about her. ACP sir looked at her with a questioning gaze.
Tanishka: (slowly looking up and adding meekly) "Mujhe naa… aapki… chair par baithna hai."
ACP sir looked at her for a while and broke out into a laugh. Even others too laughed at that wish.
ACP: "Bas itni si baat? Chalo abhi bithata hu tumhe mai apni chair par."
Tanishka: "Aise nahi… aapko mujhe ek promise karna hoga…"
ACP: "Kya?"
Tanishka: (looking into his eyes and adding seriously) "Aap mere alawa aur kisiko us chair par baithne nahi denge… (in low tone) Minu ko bhi nahi…"
Saying this, she kept her head on ACP sir's shoulder. Everyone lost their smiles seeing her grim face. ACP sir composed himself and slowly made her face him.
ACP: (taking her hand in his hand) "Promise… tumhare alawa aur koi bhi… us chair par nahi baithega…. Minu bhi nahi."
Tanishka lovingly kept her head on ACP sir's shoulder. He instantly patted her head.
Tanishka: "Sach Dadu… Apne apni promise bilkul acche se nibhaayi hai."
Abhijeet was having tears seeing that bond. He wiped them off.
Abhijeet: (in fresh tone) "Toh… ho gaya I guess… Yeh kuch incidents jo shayad story ke through discuss nahi ho paye the… par ab ho gaye hai…"
Tanishka: (in jolly tone) "Toh readers, jarur batayiyega ke kaisa laga…. By the way, ab baari hai ek surprise ki…. Ready everyone? Over to you Dadu"
ACP: "Thik hai toh phir. Surprise yeh hai ki jald hi humari writer sahiba is story ka sequel bhi likhne wali hai joh basically Abhijeet – Tanishka – Minakshi based story hogi kyuki is story me yeh trio relation itna saamne nahi aa paya hai."
Abhijeet: "Haa, toh jarur read kariyega "TERE MERE DIL – PART 2"…. Till then…"
All three: "Take care and good bye."
I know kuch khaas nahi tha. Jhute – chappal maarne ki phiraat me honge aap sab jarur.
But Rhia, this one's for you, meri jaan. Please batana ki kaisa laga surprise. Mujhe pata hai, tumhe yeh flashback story me chahiye the par sorry, mai unhe story me include nahi kar paayi. Toh socha, end me ek chapter add kar du. Hope you like it.
Also hope that other readers too like it. Please R and R.
Thankyou!
