1:00 pm CID Bureau

Everyone was busy with their regular works. Purvi was entering data from a file into her machine. Shreya was still into her file work. Daya was looking helplessly towards Abhijeet with the bunch of old case files, which ACP Sir asked him to sort out for our junior members. Abhijeet could sense Daya's glance very well but as usual he was trying not to look at him.

Finally Daya came,

Daya: (low tone) Kya yaar Abhi -

Abhijeet: (still not looking towards him) Haan bolo -

Daya: (irritated) Jaan bujhke kyun sata rahe ho yaar!

Abhijeet: (controlling his laughter) Arre bhai, sach me busy hun (pretending to look busy)

Daya: (Angry but still in low tone) Haan haan mujhe dikh raha hai! Please boss - kuch to help karo!

Abhijeet finally dropped the book of "Criminal Psychology" aside and looked at him with a broad hearty smile. With this Daya's face brightened. He took the chair beside Abhijeet and started to explain what to do or not! Abhijeet was keenly listening to him. After the completion of so called "knowledge transition" Daya took a break. Abhijeet took a sigh of relief.

Abhijeet: (whispering so that only Daya could hear him) Daya, kabhi to yeh file work kiya kar!

Daya: Arre, to main hi to karta hu, tum to sirf mujhe help karte ho!

Abhijeet: Acha?

Daya: (mischievously) aur nahi to kya? (mock serious tone) Chalo chalo, ab time mat waste karo, kaam hai bahot saara!

Abhijeet: (making a "gone case" face) Tera kuch nahi honewala!

Daya suddenly looked at his watched and then his face became seerious.

Daya: Abhi, woh aaj bachche yaha aa rahe hai na?

Abhijeet: Are haan! Par woh dono pehle FL jayega. waha jab hum jayenge dono ko le kar ayenge -

Daya: Ab tak to shayad aa bhi gaye honge, nahi?


At the same time in Forensic Lab

Dr. Salunkhe was very busy examining a chemical. Suddenly he remembered something!

Are haan, aaj to Diya aur Adi anewala hai yaha, acha hua aaj koi body nahi aya, nahi to bachche dar jate! Main security guards ko bula deta hun, ke bachche andar ane se pehle mujhe khabr kare!

He was about to call the security guard, but before he could connect the call two cute bubbly voice filled the air of Forensic Lab!

Adi: (examining the lab carefully) Maa nahi hai?

Dr. Salunkhe: Are are- Adi beta, aap log aa gaye! Aiye aiye -

Adi: Nanu, Maa kahan hai?

Salunkhe: Woh beta aap ki mummy bas ek dusri office me gayi hai, aa jayenge -

Diya: (Trying to take the test tube which was clamped over a boonsen burner) Baiya - dekho - ye kitna acha hai - yellow colol! ye chaiye Diya ko - baiya do na

Salunkhe was panicked already and he rushed to her -

Salunkhe: Are are, beta aap rehne do isse - yeh - isse hath jal jayega -

Diya's face turned red.

Diya: Baiyaaaa - Diya ko wohi chaiye -

Salunkhe sir never felt so helpless before - that too in front of a baby! He was completely clueless about how to handle her!

Arre baap re! Isse kaise sambhalte hai sab! Ab main karu bhi ti kya karun! lagta nahi yeh bachchi itni asani se manne wali!

In the mean time Adi took control. He excitedly pulled Diya aside -

Adi: (excited) Diya - dekh - iss box me - yaha kuch dikh raha hai -

Salunkhe sir almost got a heart attack -

Arre ab main kya karun! Usme to woh poison ka samples hai -

Salunkhe: acha bachche log - tum sab yaha aa jao - main tum dono ko na kuch acha dikhata hun - aa jao - aa jao -

Diya gave him a doubtful look, but after seeing Adi moving towards him she also accompanied him -

Diya: (serious) Nanu, aap ne hume bachche kyu kaha?

Salunkhe: (confused) Main kuch samjha nahi beta -

Diya: (giggling) Ale! aap itne bale ho - phil bhi aap ko samaj me hi nai ata! aap ko pata nahi - hum kal hi bala ho gaye!

Salunkhe: (typical "Dr. Salunkhe" look) Acha acha - main samjh gaye - ab tum dono yaha chair pe baitho - abhi Tarika bhi aa jayegi

Adi: (annoyed) Par aap ne bola tha kuch acha dikhayenge - woh kaha hai?

Dr. Salunkhe took a book from the shelf which has many pictures of deadly creatures - he opened a page and saw a picture of a dangerous looking snake -

Nahi nahi yeh to nahi de sakta main - bachche dar jayenge - par aur kya hai yaha pe? Ek kaam karti hun - usse microscope pe kuch dikhata hu -

But his thought process got interrupted by the loud noise of his mobile!

Salunkhe: Haan Tarika bolo - (trying to be as cool as possible)

[Hearing Tarika's name both the babies instantly moved their gaze towards him]

Tarika: Sir, woh Diya aur Adi pauch gaye na waha?

Salunkhe: (throwing a look at them) Haan beta - dono yehi pe hai, bas chup chap (stressing the word "Chup Chap") baithe huye hai - t-tum kaha ho abhi? Kab tak aa rahi ho?

Tarika: (smilingly) Bas sir, 2 ghanta aur - phir aa jati hun -

Salunkhe: (Exclaim) D-d-do Ghante Aur! (sigh) Thik hai, koi baat nahi, tum aa jao -

He cut the phone and looked at the children.

Diya: Nanu, Di ne phone kia tha?

Salunkhe: (nodding) Haan beta -

Diya: Wo kab aayenge?

Salunkhe: Bas kuch hi der me aa jayenge -

Diya: (curiously) aul Bale Pappa?

Salunkhe: (murmuring to himself) I hope ke usska pair aaj iss Forensic me na hi pade, warna pata nahi ate hi kya kya kehne lagega! Aaj to usse mauka bhi mil jayega mera taang kheechne ka! Huh!

Though he was muttering these words in a very low tone, but our Junior CID's ears were also very efficient! Nothing can be escaped from them.

Diya became extremely angry as she heard that her Nanu did not want her "Bale Pappa" to come!

Diya: (angrily) Nanu! Aap ne Bale Pappa ko kya bola?

Salunkhe: (Trying to make up) Nahi beta kuch nahi -

Diya: (more furious) Aap ne mela Bale Pappa ko bula kaha - aap ne bula kyu kaha? Muje nahi lehna yaha! Diya ko Bale Pappa Chaiye -

And instantly she threw the empty test tube beside her on the ground!

Salunkhe: Oh My GOD! Yeh kya kar diya aap ne! Pata nahi woh sab iss bachcho ko kaise sambhal lete -

A voice was heard from the doorstep -

Voice: Kya Salunkhe - tujhse yeh dono phool sa bachche sambhala nahi jata!

With this voice the two faces immediately turned towards the door, where they found their dear elderly figure - Adi ran towards him and hugged him tightly by his waist!

Adi: Dada - aap aa gaye!

Diya also came near him with her cute small steps. She went to him and spread her arms with a cute sweet smile! ACP adorably ruffled Adi's head and kissed his forehead and then knelled down to take give little Diya a warm hug!

Diya: Dada - Nanu ne Bale Pappa ko bula kaha - aap daanto nanu ko -

Adi: Aur Nanu ne hume koi bhi cheese nahi diya - aur kahani bhi nahi sunaya, aur chocolate bhi nahi diya -

Salunkhe sensed the danger! ACP glared at him.

ACP: Salunkhe - Yeh sab kya hai, haan?

Just then Duo with Shreya and Purvi entered the lab.

Salunkhe: Lo bhai, ab iski hi kami thi!

Daya: Kya hua Doctor saab aap kuch pareshaan lag rahe hai!

Adi: Chachooo - aap kitna der kar diya...

Daya: (Taking him into his lap) Arrey mere Sher - Kya hua aaj school me?

On the other hand Diya was already into his Bade Papa's lap. She flung her hands around his neck and put her head on his shoulder. Abhijeet was slowly patting her back.

Diya: (whisper) Diya ko Bale Pappa ke saath lehna hai, Nanu ke saath nahi -

She again rested her head on his shoulder peacefully.

Salunkhe: (shocked) Arre, yeh aise shant kaise ho gaya! Abhi abhi to chilla rahi thi - tod phod karne padi thi!

Abhijeet: (kissing Diya's head) Kya doctor saab, itni pyari bachchi to hai - isse aap bas 2 min bhi nahi sambhal paye - dekhiye kitni achi hai -

Salunkhe: (really surprised) Arre Kamal hai Abhijeet! Sach me woh dono abhi tak to mujhe -

Daya: (funny tone)Nahi nahi doctor saab, yeh dono to bas bachche hai - aur aap ek senior Forensic Doctor ho, aap ko yeh dono kaise pareshaan kar sakte hai!

Dr. Salunkhe threw a fiery glance at him. ACP and others were enjoying the entire scenario. After some more minutes of these small cute fights, ACP Sir finally started talking about their case. They were busy with their discussion. The babies were quiet now. They were at one corner of the lab with their favourite mausi. Purvi was teaching them some funny games.


8:00 pm at Duo's Home

Tarika was trying to open the door. It was really difficult for her as she was carrying 2 large bags in her hands. But Abhijeet was carrying sleeping Diya while Shreya was with Adi, Daya was parking the car, so it was left with her only.

Shreya: Di, jaldi kholo na -

Tarika: Shreya, chup chap khara nahi reh sakti? dekh nahi sakti kya- (opened the door) lo ho gaya -

They entered home. Tarika kept the bags on the sofa.

Tarika: (to Abhijeet) Dekha Abhi, ek hi din me lagta hai pura dukan uthake la gaye!

Abhijeet: (smiling) Arre, to sab pyar se gifts diya hai, isme kya problem hai?

Tarika: Wo dono ab roz jayenge na bureau! Kya roz usse sab aise hi gifts dete rahenge! Bigad jayenge dono - waise hi ghar me bigadne ke liye log kam hai kya? Phir Rajat aur Purvi har sunday ko kuch na kuch late hi hai, ab har roz agar sab aise hi -

Daya: Relax Bhabi! Aisa kuch nahi hoga! Kitna sochti ho aap...

Shreya and Abhijeet were coming down from the kids room.

Daya was helping Tarika with the gifts. Shreya and Abhijeet joined them.

Daya: Bhabi, waise woh Rajat ne jo game diya hai na, woh kaafi achcha hai. pata hai? Kal Adi ko sikha dunga - aur phir raat ko khelenge -

Tarika: Kya Daya! Tum kya Adi jaisa ho, haan?

Abhijeet: Nahi, Adi se thoda chota hai! (surprised)Baap re, kitne sare chocolates! itna kaun laya?

Shreya: Jeej, woh jo packet hai na, bada wala - woh ACP Sir ne diya hai, yaha - yeh box - Purvi ne - aur yeh wala - yeh to Fredy Sir ne -

Daya: (picking a large box of assorted chocolates) Aur yeh?

Tarika: Woh Salunke sir ne diya hai -

Abhijeet: Kya baat hai! Salunkhe Sir bhi -

Tarika: ABHIIII-

Abhijeet held his ears.

Abhijeet: Sorry yaar, ab please gussa mat karo!

Shreya: (giggling) Kya Di, humesha gussa karti ho!

Daya: (to Tarika) Aur bhabi yeh jo packet hai na, yeh Abhi ne diya hai dono ko -

Abhijeet: (threw Daya a "tujhe to main dekh lunga" look)Are, Tarika nahi nahi - woh to main - woh - w-w-woh main Shreya ke liye - haan Shreya ke liye laya tha! Shreya ko pasand hai na yeh chocolates- (looking at Shreya) hai na?

Shreya:(instantly opened a bar of chocolate and about to take a bite) Haan haan, yeh to mera favourite hai - Thanks Jeej! (took a bite)

Tarika looked at her unbelievably!

Tarika slapped her own head!

Tarika: Hey Bhagwan! Yeh kaha phasa diya aap ne mujhe! sab ke sab pagal hai! Bachcho ko kya samjhaun! Yaha to pura family hi bachcho se bhi badhkar hai!

Daya laughed loudly.

Abhijeet: Ab bahot hasee aa raha hai! yeh saara tera hi krnama hai!

Shreya held the bar to Tarika.

Shreya: (softly) Please Di, aap bhi kha lo, gussa kam hota hai chocolate se -

Tarika took her eyes away from her. She knew that they won't let her be angry for long! But She is angry NOW! Shreya came near her, flung her arms around her neck from behind and held the bar just inches away from her mouth -

Shreya: (very very sweetly) Di, please... bas thoda sa -

Tarika melted like "chocolate", she smiled and took a small bite from the bar.

Tarika: kya yaar, kabhi to gussa hone do! tum sab aise hi karte ho, phir mujhe bhi mana lete ho -

All laughed hearing Tarika's cute complaint.
