Chap four: Pyaar ke side effects

Continued from previous chapter…

Daya and Abhijeet leave forensic lab owing to a new case. They find dead body of a middle aged man who was found murdered in his own office during mid-night. It is shifted to Forensic lab.

An hour later Abhijeet finds himself standing beside Tarika surrounded by other CID officers. Doctor Salunkhe asks Tarika to explain how the death happened. Abhi smiles at her as she proceeds to explain what the forensic team found, her one hand holding tweezers. He holds her other hand from under the table.

Freddy: Aadhi raat ko koi nahi tha jab iska khoon hua. Aur aap kehrahi hai sham ko hi khoon hogaya. Kaise Dr. Tarika?

Tarika is nervous because Abhi isn't letting go of her hand.

Tarika, turning to Abhijeet: Freddy sir.. Chodiye na..

Freddy: aise kaise hua hai Salunkhe Sir? Aap bathaayiye na…

Tarika: Freddy sir.. Maine kaha chodiye!

Abhi smiles. He knew she is asking him to leave and not Freddy.

Freddy, confused : Arey maine kaha pakad k rakha hai tumhe..

ACP fumes.

ACP: Hogaya.. Ab hum kuch kaam ki baatein karein?

Salunkhe: Haan Boss. Tarika tik keh rahi hai. Is aadmi ka maut sham ko hi hogaya tha. Dikhao Tarika..

Abhi is leisurely drawing patterns on her palm and she groans.

Salunkhe: Kya hua Tarika..

Tarika: Kuch nai sir. Aap log yaha dekhiye.. Isske skin ek dum.. um.. woh..

She uses one hand to point to the injuries and his skin which has changed colour.

Abhi still doesn't leave her hand n she finds it hard to focus.

Tarika: Isske marne ka time.. sham ko… umm ..

She looks around nervously.

Abhi: Aage boliye na. Sab log sunn rahe hai..

She glares then smiles awkwardly. Taking a deep breath she continues.

Freddy: Arey, Dr. Tarika aap k haat ko kya hua?

Tarika: Woh sir.. choti si chot lag gayi bas..

She pinches Abhis hand. He lets go off her hand grimacing a bit.

Salunkhe: Ab isse kya hua hai?

Abhi, embarrassed: Sir woh kuch nahi. Shayad cheeti hogi…

Salunkhe: Forensic lab mein cheeti?

ACP: Aaj koi bhi kaam nahi karna chahta hai kya? Kaam pe dhyan do Sab..

Abhi: ji Sorry sir.

Abhirika don't look at each other. Tarika finishes her explanation. Salunkhe sir moves towards window answering a call . Everyone leave as it is lunch time.

Tarika glares at Abhijeet and is about to follow them when he holds her hand again.

Tarika: Kya hai?

She wants to be mad at him. But the moment she looks at him her lips form into a smile.

Abhijeet: Uff shukar hai gussa thanda hogaya aapka..

She smiles again.

Tarika, trying to free her hand: Chodo mujhe.. main abhi bhi gussa hu. Jaldi Bolo Kya hai..

Abhi: Aaj sham ko .. yaad hai na?

Tarika, smiling: Haan hai..

Abhi: Shaam ko office k baad. OK?

Tarika: OK baba jao.. chod mujhe.

Abhi: Bolo ki gussa nahi ho..

Tarika: Haan nahi hu. Ab khush? Jaao na..

Abhi: Arey Salunkhe sir bhi nahi hai, mujhe thoda toh mauka k faida uthaane do na..

He proceeds to hug her. She breaks free blushing.

Tarika, warning tone: woh aate hi honge Abhi. Aur duty k dauraan bhi shuru hogaye tum?

Abhi, flirt tone: Kya karein ji.. Aap se dur raha nahi jaata..

Tarika smiles despite herself. Salunkhe can hear her talking with someone. Tarika pulls her hand back from his grip. Abhirika keep looking into each other's eyes.

Tarika: Achha ji? Lekin rehna parega. Duty first hai na? Ab jaao.. lunch nai karna hai Daya sir k saat?

He sighs taking a deep breath.

Tarika: Jao.. Abhijeet isse pehle koi aajaye jaao na..

Salunkhe ends the call. Abhi leaves after waving to her.

Tarika picks up her mobile and jumps when she hears someone approach her.

Tarika: Sir… A.. Aap ?

Salunkhe: Haan. Main canteen jaara hu. Par yeh bataao Kisse baatein kar rahi thi?

Tarika, embarrassed: Sir.. woh ek..

Meanwhile ACP comes and pulls his friend along.

ACP: Chal coffee peethe hai yar. Mere paas pura din nahi hai tereliye…

Tarika heaves a sigh of relief.

Six PM:

The case is as usual solved. Well almost solved. There is some guy, criminal's partner in crime who needs to be caught in Pune. CID team needs to leave for Pune. Abhi curses his bad luck. Freddy complains he wants to go home. ACP sir hears him complaining.

ACP: Kya kaha Freddy?

Abhi: Sir Freddy keh raha hai… iss doosre criminal ko pakarne ka kaam toh na CID pune ka hua na..

Freddy, shocked: Aisa maine kab kahan hai sir?

Abhi, glaring: Abhi toh kaha tum ne?

Daya smiles. He can guess why Abhi is doing drama.

Daya: Abhijeet aisa tum keh rahe ho ya Freddy?

Abhi, giving margaye look: Nahi nahi.. Main kyu kahunga. Aisa Freddy ne hi..

ACP: Bas Bas.. Na jaane sab ko kya hua hai aaj. Chalne ki tayyar karo Daya aur suno sab log, aadhe ghante mein nikalna hoga hume..

Abhi groans. Daya nods.

Tarika leaves on Salunkhe sir's insistence as she is feeling feverish. She grimaces as she sees Abhijeet's message that he's leaving for Pune.

Sorry jaan adrag chai kabhi aur… Pune k liye nikalna hai mujhe.

She feels bad. why should duty always come first? Well, it should. He is a CID officer and she should not expect too much from him. She smiles again and replies him.

Koi baat nahi Abhi. Tik hai Kabhi aur.. take care. I will wait for u..

. . . /. . /. . .

A day later

Seven AM:

CID team is back. Daya is fast asleep as they returned that early morning. Abhi however decides to leave early. He is sure he can meet Tarika there. She likes to start her day early. He goes straight there planning to surprise her.

Forensic Lab:

Abhi enters the lab. He notices Salunkhe saab has still not arrived. He beams as he spots Dr. Tarika going through the drawers in her desk.

Abhi, smiling: Surprise!

She looks up smiling.

Abhijeet tum kab aaye?

Oh god knows how much he missed her smile, her sugary sweet voice. He just didn't know how he used to stay away from her but ever since their confession, he just couldn't. Not even for a while.

He was so much lost in her thoughts that he was imagining her everywhere. Right now he fails to notice its Dr. Salunkhe he is talking to.

Salunkhe, Abhi is imagining him as Tarika all along: arey .. Kya baat hai aaj badi jaldi aagaye?

Abhi proceeds to hug her from behind. Or should I say hug him? You guys should imagine this scene. It's going to be funny.

Salunkhe, shocked: Kya kar rahe ho Abhijeet? Chodo mujhe!

Abhi: God maine aapko kitna miss kiya, patha hai? Bohot zyada. Aap ne mujhe miss kia?

Salunkhe is shocked. He desperately tries to get out of his grip.

Salunkhe: Abhijeet Kya kar rahe ho? Chodo..

He breaks free from Abhi's hug and glares at him.

Abhi, pouting: lagta hai aapne mujhe miss nahi kia.

Salunkhe, confused: Kaisa Mazak hai yeh Abhijeet? tum jaante ho tum kya karre ho? Forensic lab mein ho tum..

Abhi, still imagining Salunkhe as Tarika: Patha hai ji. Lekin karein bhi toh kya karein aap se dur jaane ka mann hi nahi karta. Patha nahi isse pehle main kaise aap se dur rehta tha.. ab toh aap ko dekhe bina, aapse baat kiye bina, ek pal k liye bhi raha nai jaata. Main chahta hu ki aap aise hi mere saat rahe, har waqt.. har pal.. aur saara din aise hi main aapko dekta rahu.

Salunkhe looks at him as if he has gone mad.

Salunkhe: Abhijeet tum paagal hogaye ho!

Abhi, smiling: Bilkul. dil toh paagal hai ji.

Salunkhe: Hosh mein aao Abhi..

Abhi: Achha ok. Aap gussa hogayi? I know.. aapko maine phone nai kia. Isliye na.. Main sirf aapko surprise karna chahta tha. Aap ka gussa thanda karne keliye kya karu? Dance karengi mere saat?

Salunkhe, banging his head: Dance? Lab mein? Koi mujhe bachao..

Salunkhe proceeds to leave the lab vexed with him. But Abhi holds his hand twirls him around and places a soft kiss on top of his hand.

Salunkhe had enough.

At same time Tarika enters the lab. She is a little ill. So she asked Salunkhe sir to go early, reason why Salunkhe sir is in lab.

Abhi keeps giving Salunkhe a loving look and he screams.

Salunkhe: ABHIJEET!

Abhi snaps back. He realizes he is holding Dr. Salunkhe's hand and jumps letting go of it as if he received an electric shock.

Salunkhe: Bas karo yeh Mazak Abhijeet. Bohot hogaya…

Abhijeet, embarrassed n shocked: S.. S… Salunkhe.. Sir… A.. Aap? Yaha?

Salunkhe: Agaye hosh mein?

Abhi: Dr. T.. Tarika.. kaha hai?

Salunkhe: Tarika nai aayi hai aaj. Aane mein thodi der lagegi usko..

He gives a killer look and Abhi shivers. He looks around and spots his angel who's confused.

Abhi: kya? Sir.. I'm sorry.. Main… Wo..

Tarika decides to intervene.

Tarika: Good morning sir. Abhijeet subah subah tum yaha? Kya hua? Sir Sab tik hai na?

Salunkhe: Kuch bhi tik nai hai Tarika..

Tarika, confused: Sir aapko kya hua hai?

Salunkhe, angry now: Kya hua hai? Yeh pucho ki kya nahi hua hai Tarika..

Abhi: Sir..

Salunkhe: Tum toh kuch bolo hi mat. Abhijeet.. Just leave the lab.

Abhi: hello Tarika ji aap ..

Salunkhe, cuts him off: Abhijeet leave! Tarika, Apne iss pagal aashiq ko yaha se jaane keliye kaho.

Tarika is confused n is feeling bad for Abhi.

Abhi: Sir... meri baat toh..

Salunkhe screams: I said LEAVE! Dobara iss lab mein kadam mat rakhna. Ab mein ek minute bhi isse yaha bardasht nai kar sakta..Warna main dhakke marke bahar..

Abhi: jaa raha hu sir..

Abhi leaves the lab looking a little hurt.

He dashes out in anger and takes a deep breath. He is now outside CID office cursing himself for is foolish behaviour. Daya reaches there and notices him.

Abhi, thinking : Na jaane yeh sab kaise hogaya. Main Tarika ji ko itna miss karra tha ki mujhe lab mein, har jagah wohi dikhaayi de rahi hai. Salunkhe sir ko muu kaise dikhaunga main…

Daya: Kya hua yar? Tu tik hai na? Bolo..

Before he can ask further the matter he receives a call.

Daya: Kya ek aur laash? Kahan pe..

Another new case ?

Abhi shakes his head and gets ready for his duty.

. . / . . / . .

Nine AM, Forensic Lab.

The dead body found is sent to Forensic lab. As usual CID team is asked to visit the lab to get the details of it.

ACP: Darwaaza andar se band hai..

Everyone: Kya? Forensic lab ka door band hai?

Before entering the lab, Freddy notices a sign board hanging on the door.

Freddy: Sir, yaha pe dekhiye Sir. Ek.. sign board lagaa hua hai. No…. entry.. for Abhijeet.. Sir yeh kya likha hai sir? ( Laughing ) Abhjeet sir aapkeliye aaj se entry band hogaya hai.

Abhi groans. So this means Salunkhe sir dint forgive him.

ACP: yeh Salunkhe bhi na? kaise Mazak karleta hai kabhi kabhi.. Chalo andar sab log..

All of go inside as ACP uses a spare key. Salunkhe fumes as he gets a glimpse of Abhi.

Salunkhe, fuming: tum.. tum yaha kyu aaye ho? Padhe likhe nai ho kya Abhijeet? Tum dekh nai sakte ki Maine waha pe ek sing board rakha hai.

ACP: Salunkhe kya hogaya hai tujhe yar? Hume lagaa yeh mazak hai..

Salunkhe: hmm.. aap sab ko yeh laga hoga ki yeh mazak hai. Lekin yeh.. aapke yeh officer ko patha hai ki yeh Mazak nai hai..

ACP: Kya hua hai Saluknhe?

Salunkhe: Pradyuman please! Apne Iss officer ko bahar bhej do plz..

ACP: Lekin..

Salunkhe: Pradyuman bas! Ab Abhijeet ko main apne lab mein aur bardasht nai karsakta. Isse kaho ki mere lab se door rahe aur mere assistant se bhi..

Abhi is embarrassed n keeps staring at the floor.

Freddy: Sir lekin Abhijeet sir ne aisa kya kar diya jo aap itna gussa hogaye hai?

Daya: Sir Abhjeet baccha hai. Usko leke aap..

Salunkhe shakes his head.

ACP: yar agar tu mujhe nai bataayega toh kaise patha chalega ki Abhijeet ne kiya kya hai?

Salunkhe: Kya kia hai? Are Pradyuman agar tujhe patha chala ki tumhare officer ne kya kia toh tum use lab se kya, CID se bahar bhej doge..

ACP, shocked: Kya?

Freddy, shocked as well: Abhijeet sir ne itna bada guna kiya?

Abhi: Freddy yar! Tu thodi der apna muu band rakhega please?

Freddy: Sorry sir.

Abhi: Salunkhe sir.. Maine sorry bola na..

Salunkhe: tum se main baat nahi karna chahta.. tumne mere saat.. just leave!

Abhi gives a puppy look to tarika. Tarika shakes her head giving a sad look. And he walks off from lab.

. . . . . . .

A while later..

Tarika: Freddy sir Abhijeet kaha hai?

Freddy: Shayad bahar gaye honge, hawaa khaane keliye..

Outside, she notices he is standing with a sad expression on his face with Daya beside him.

Abhi: yar akela chor de muje..

Meanwhile Daya sees Tarika rushing to Abhi n steps aside giving them some privacy

Daya: lo bhai! Tarika aagayi. Baat karlo..

Tarika smiles at Daya and goes to stand beside Abhi.

Tarika, cheering him up: Good morning Abhijeet!

Abhi: bad morning hai aaj..

Tarika, placing a hand on his shoulder: kya? Bolo na kya hai?

Abhi is silent.

Tarika: Salunkhe sir ko itna gussa dilaadiya. Mujhe aane main thodi der hogayi aur…

Abhi: Aaj hi der se aana tha aapko? Patha hai main aapko kitna miss karra tha?

Tarika, smiling: Aww toh saheb iss baat se gussa hai! Abhi maine bhi tumhe bhot miss kia. Chota sa kaam tha isliye der hogayi..

Abhi, frustrated: tumhare der se aane se kitni badi aafat aagayi mere upar, tum jaanti nai ho..

Tarika: Bolo toh kya hua hai?

Abhi: Woh..

He explains her what happened or let's say a part of it. No he would not say he kissed Salunkhe sirs hand.

Tarika starts laughing. Abhi is embarrassed.

Tarika, laughing more: Abhi tumne.. Salunkhe sir k saat. Oh my god! Haha haaha..

Abhi hurt tone: Achha mere upar hasne keliye aayi ho yaha?

Tarika: Sorry.. sorry Abhijeet. Dil se sorry. Salunkhe sir ke gussa ko toh tum jaante hi ho na. Kal tak sab kuch tik hojayega. Tumhe main iss tarah maayus nai dekh sakti.

He huffs, his expressions still clouded by hurt.

Tarika, holding his hand: Ab thoda haso na.. smile..

Abhi: Nai aata mujhe smile karna!

Tarika: tum karoge Abhijeet!

Abhi: Plz.. Main smile nai karunga.

Tarika: you r smiling now! You r going to smile..

Abhi: NO!

Tarika: yes. Aaraha hai tumhare chehre pe, ek chota sa pyara sa, halka sa muskaan..

Abhi: Nai aaraha hai! Nai smile karna hai mujhe!

Tarika: Abhi please. A small one. Thoda sa.. mere liye? Yes..

He looks at her, his lips moving to form a smile.

Tarika, smiling widely: yes.. its coming. Coming..

He chuckles.

Tarika, joining him: Agaya! Dekha aasaan tha..

Abhi hugs her tightly: tumhare bina main kya karta? Aise hi rahogi na mere saat?

Tarika: waada. Aur kaisa sawal hai yeh? Main humesha tumhare saat hu. Aur aagey bhi rahungi. Tum kabhi mujhse dur nai jaoge na?

He looks into her eyes which were teary. His own eyes become moist.

Abhi: Kabh nahi. Waada hai yeh mera.

And he hugs her again, kissing her forehead when someone coughs.

They spot Daya at a distance and notice that they are in front of CID office hugging each other.

Tarika: Daya sir.. Aap kab.. aaye?

Daya : Sorry tarika. Main gaya nai tha.. Yahi khada tha. Abhi kitna mayus tha. Lekin aappne badi aasani se uska mood tik kar dia hai.

Tarika: Umm.. uh.. main. Salukhe sir mujhe dhundh rahe honge.. mujhe jaana hai.

She dashes off blushing and Abhi just smiles.

Abhi, smiling now: Kitna sharmaati hai yeh?

Daya: bilkul tum pe gaye hai! Waise lagta hai baat bohot aage badh gayi hai. Nahi?

Abhi: yar Daya tu shuru mat kar plz. Investigation karne chalein?

Daya: Chalo..

All day long Abhi is in good mood thanks to tarika and her efforts. That evening as soon as case is solved Abhi plans to spend some time with her. He types a message.

Kyu na aaj sham ko hojaaye Adrak chai aapke ghar mein? Uss din possible nai hua na…

He beams as tarika replies him quickly.

Ok.. Aaj sham ko. Bhul mat jaana :D
