Friday Evening at Home

The week passed by like an ordinary one for the team, though there were a few cases reported this week they were simple enough to be solved by one or two days. Today all are excited because finally they got their chance to execute their planning for the Picnic. All are really really busy and they are loving being busy. Being CID officers its really hard for them to find some time to enjoy together. Occasions like this are awfully rare in their lives. Packing is going on, the living room is more than a mess now. Everybody is dumping his/her necessary things there to pack later. As a result it looks like a horrible store room. And of course our li'l masters are also in actions. All are shouting, talking and instructing to each other. Now you can easily (I think not that easy, but still) imagine the scene. In such time the phone rang. And everybody was too busy to take the call. So the result:

Daya: Abhijeet, kab se yeh phone baj raha hai yaar, uthao na

Abhijeet: Phone ke zyada kareeb kaun hai? main ya tu?

Daya: Par mere hath mein yeh saman hai na

Abhijeet: To main kya karu? main itne dur se yeh saare cheezein paar karke phone ke paas nahi ja sakta

Tarika: thik hai choro, main dekhti hun

She tried to balance herself between the jumbled things and clothes scattered all around. But till then the ringing stopped. Now its time to find the mobile. Of course they knew that the phones were somewhere within the mess only, but it would definitely take effort (though not as much as of a common man, because they have detective's eyes dear ;) ).

Shreya: (to Daya) Vivek aur Tasha bhi to aaj hi anewala hai, na? kab ayega? Kal subah jaldi nikalna hai... aur humare yahaan ruk ne ke liye bol diya hai na aap ne?

Daya: Tum itna tension kyun le rahi ho? Aa jayega, shayad woh chaaron ek saath ayega

Tarika: Woh log der kar rahe hai yeh maan sakti hun, door se aa rahe hai, par yeh humare Rajat aur purvi ko kya hua? Ghar ka rasta bhul gaye kya?

Abhijeet: Unhe bhi packing vacking karni hai na. time lagta hai

At this moment the door opened and RAJVI entered with glowing face as usual. Rajat was carrying two large bags, while Purvi had one hand bag.

Shreya: (looking at both of them) Arre tum log to poore haftey ke liye packing karke aye ho

Rajat gave a frowned look to Purvi who simply ignored Shreya's comment and forwarded.

Purvi: Baki sab kahan hai?

Daya: Aye nahi abhi tak! Pata nahi kab ayega

Tarika: Tum dono bhi kitni der kar di yaar. Pata hai na kitni saare kaam hain

Purvi: (looking at the mess naughtily) Haan, woh to dikh hi raha hai

Suddenly a loud voice broke their conversation.

Diya: Baiyaaaaaaa-

all four of them are now in alert mode

Shreya: (fearfully) Lo, shuru ho gaya

Tarika: ab ho gaya kaam

again

Diya: B-A-L-E-P-A-A-P-P-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A

Abhijeet helplessly looked at the rest of them and then towards the room upstairs

Abhijeet: (murmurs) Abhijeet, aaj to tu gaya... mausam bigdi huyi si lagta hai...

Daya as the only one who was really really enjoying his brother's helpless condition.

Abhijeet entered the children's room, and the team was also behind him but definitely maintaining a safe distance. As soon as Diya saw him she jumped into his lap and flung her hands around his neck

Diya: Bale pappa, baiya ko boliye muje teddy le jana hai

Abhijeet: Kaun sa teddy batao

Diya: Saaare-

Abhijeet looked around - there are a minimum of 35 teddies of different sizes present in the room (thanks to our dear CID team, and a special thanks to Abhijeet Sir! because among those at least 15 were bought by himself only)

Abhijeet: itne sare teddies le kar aap kaise jaogi beta?

Diya: Baiya to le rahe hai

Abhijeet: Adi bhi teddy le rahe hai?

Diya: Offo bale pappa! Baiya ka to ek bhi teddy nahi hai. baiya bat le raha hai

Abhijeet: thik hai, tum bhi le lo ek teddy

Diya: (now she is smiling at her bale pappa's ignorance) Bale Pappa, yeh sab family hai na, to ek saath hi reh sakte hai, ek ko le jaugi to usse bura lagegi na!

Abhijeet is now speechless. Even his detective mind could not solve the problem. He looked behind. All were enjoying the scene.

Adi: yeh dekh Diya, main yeh video game bhi le raha hun, aur tera ek bhi toy nahi ja raha hai... He He He...

Abhijeet gave a fiery look to his son, but in vein. Diya already started crying, her face became red like tomato! Abhijeet was trying his best to console her.

Tarika: (to Shreya) Dekha tune! Yeh Adi ko to main -

Shreya: Di please! aise hota hai bhai behen ke beech. Rehne do na

Purvi came to rescue Abhijeet. Diya was as usual not ready to leave Abhijeet, but that was not a problem anymore

Purvi: Diya, yeh sab family hai?

Diya: (in sob) haan

Purvi: par yeh sab chhote hai, hai na?

Diya nodded as yes

Purvi: to yeh sab itni dur kaise jayenge! inhe takleef hoga na

Diya looked confused and then looked at abhijeet, he nodded as yes.

Purvi: Chalo, hum inhe bhi picnic ke liye bhejte hai, par nazdik kahi, yeh chalega?

Diya smiled happily

Diya: Kahan?

Purvi: mumma papa ke room kaisa rahega?

Diya thought for a while then she agreed happily.

Purvi: To tum in sab ko picnic ke liye bhejo. hum sab neeche kal ka picnic ka taiyari karte hai, theek hai?

Diya: Bale pappa bhi niche jayega?

Abhijeet: haan beta, bas thoda kaam hai. tum bhi inhe picnic spot le jane ke baad mere paas chale ana, OK my baby?

he kissed he angel on her cheek. In return she also kissed him on cheek and then ran to her room. In the mean time Daya took Adi with him.

All came back to PACKING!

Abhijeet: Thanks Purvi! tumhari idea achchi thi

Purvi: woh to hoga hi! main hun hi aisi

Rajat: Achcha?

Purvi: Yes sir!

Shreya: Kal humlog ACP Sir aur Salunkhe Sir ko kab aur kaha se pick up karenge?

Tarika: Salunkhe sir aaj shayad ACP sir ke ghar hi rehnewala hai. Wohi se pick up kar lenge...

Abhijeet: Daya, vivek ko ek baar call karke dekhe kya?

Daya was about to call him, then only a voice came

voice: Call karne ka zaroorat nahi Sir, hum sab aa gaye!

All cheered with joy seeing them. VIVEK-TASHA and SACHIN-KAJAL entered with lots of bags along with loads of joy...

Kajal: WOW! kitne din ho gaye Mumbai aye huye... sab kitne achche lag rahe hai

Sachin: Ab time kaha milte hai? duty, mission...

Tasha: aaj rehne dijiye na sir. Duty ko 2din ke liye chutti de dete hai

Vivek: waise Freddy sir se itne dino se nahi mile... kal bahut masti karenge

Daya: haan bhai, kyun nahi? masti to karenge hi

... After a few hours, all are tired. packing is done. Diya is sleeping on Abhijeet's lap. Daya was taking sleeping Adi to his room. The girls gathered in one corner for usual gupshap

Tasha: kajal, tu kitne din baad ayi hai yaha?

Kajal: meri posting to Sachin se bhi pehle ho gaya tha na, kuch 5 saal pehle! phir ek baar hi ayi thi. (looking at shreya) iski shadi mein. bas! Rajat sir aur Purvi ka shaadi bhi miss kar di hum ne

Purvi: humare shadi mein to Tasha bhi nahi aa payi thi, sirf Vivek aye the.

Shreya: yani ki for the first time we all are together (excitedly), Diya aur Adi ke saath hum sab ek saath pehli baar! Great!

Tarika: chal, iss trip ko special banate hai. kya kehte ho?

all together: YUP!
