Chapter One : New case and memories
Abhijit walked into the Bureau annoyed slightly. As usual he went straight to the forensic lab. He sighed when he found it empty. All these years, he was habituated to greeting her in lab. And now he was sure, she was no more a habit. She was his need, his support in everyday life. And a day without her would become unbearable for him. Whenever he was in need, she was there for him much like Daya.
It was no longer joking around in the lab for Abhijit and tarika. One closer look, one could see their level of concern, understanding for each other and how much they try not to reveal their real feelings. Abhi never realized what she meant to him until a few years ago. Because he dint knew he had it in him, that he was capable to love someone. He tried his best to confine his inclination to just flirting for irritating Salunkhe saab. But failed.
It was as if his feelings, his heart was no longer under his control. there were times when He'd shower compliments just to see her shy smile. He never dreamed he'd be so hopeless in love. He smiled as he thought about the word love. Sitting in tarika's chair his mind drifted to the happenings of the previous day.
Flash back
Abhi enters Forensic lab.
Tarika looks up and smiles.
Tarika : aap yahan?
Abhi : (smiles back) haan mein..
Tarika : kuch kaam tha kya?
Abhi : nahi.. mera matlub, haan hai na.
Tarika : lekin case toh solve hogayi na?
Abhi : haan par, woh meri tabiyat kharab thi. Isliye aagaya. Aaj Sunday bahar koi doctor available nai hai toh..
Tarika : (looks down smiling)
Abhi: haye kitni cute smile.. lab hai! I like ur lab.
Tarika laughs.
Abhi : toh aap ko koi kaam hai kya?
Tarika : nahi.
Abhi keeps staring at her. She tries to divert him.
Tarika : (concerned) aapne kaha ki aapki tabiyat kharab hai?
Abhi : hein? hai na! Woh pet (stomach) dard hai.. ahhh!
He holds his stomach grimacing.
Tarika knew he was lying.
Tarika : (murmurs) nautankebaz..
Abhi : kya kahan aapne?
Tarika : kuch nai. (Frowns as he's still grimacing ) Are itna dard? Rukiye main abhi dekhti hu koi dawa hai ki nahi..
Abhi (still grimacing ): yeah please!
Tarika moves to Salunkhe's cabinet and returns holding a bottle. Abhi still acting.
Tarika, now more concerned : kya sach mein aapko bahut dard ho raha hai?
Abhi : aree mein kyoun jhoot bolunga?
Tarika : aapne phir se bahar ka khana khaliya? Kitni bar kaha hai Abhijit maine.. bahar ka khana kyoun khaliya phir se?
Abhi : are majburi hai. Ab karein bhi toh kya karein? Meri koi aap jaisi khubsurat biwi toh nahi hai na, joh hume pyar se.. khana khilaye?
Tarika smiles, her cheeks turning red. Abhi smiles seeing her blush.
Abhi : ahh! woh dawa milgayi?
Tarika : haan, yeh ek khas dawai hai. Agar aapne ise liya toh ..
Abhi :kya hoga?
Tarika : kuch bhi ho sakta hai.
Abhi, scared now : kya kuch bhi?
Tarika (confirms Abhi was lying) : I mean agar aapko pet dard hai toh ise peene se kam hojayega aur agar nai hai toh…
Abhi : nahi hai toh?
Tarika : aajayega.
Abhi (confused) : yeh kaisi dawa hai?
Tarika : hai bohut hi achhi dawa. Lijiye na..
Abhi : are nahi nahi. Shukriya Tarika Ji.. a.. ab m.. mujhe pet dard nahi hai!
Tarika (smiles widely) : aree ithni jaldi kum hogaya?
Abhi (with naughty smile) : Haan bas aapne muskuraya. Aur mera sara dard gayab hogaya..
Tarika: (tries to hide her blush while smiling)
Abhi : waise aapko bahut zyada smile karna chahiye. Badi cute lagti hai!
Tarika: (blushing like a teenager) : m.. mujhe kaam hai!
Abhi: (still in romantic mood) : Aree abhi toh aapne kaha ki koi kam nahi hai?
Tarika : still looking down : ab hai na…
Abhi : lekin Tarikaji mujhe aapse aur bhi kuch kehna hai..
Tarika : (blushing) : Abhijit please. Aaj keliye bas kijiye.
Abhi : (with a naughty smile again) : toh kya main kal baat jaari rakh sakta hu?
Tarika : (cursing redness in her cheeks) : Nahin!
Abhi : nahi?
Tarika : no.
Abhi : matlab aap mujhse baat nai karna chahti?
Tarika : (subconsciously) : nahi.
Abhi : (showing mock hurt) achha mujhe bhi aap se baat nai karni hai!
Tarika : (shocked then annoyed) mat (don't) baat kijiye.
Abhi : aree main sirf mazak kar raha tha. aap naraz hogayi!
Tarika : (angrily) : main kahan naraz hui hu? Aap jayiye muje kaam hai!
Abhi : (holding his ears) : Main sirf mazak karraha tha. Aur aisa kya kaam Sunday ke din?
Tarika : (looks up smiling gain) : Meri best friend ka call anewala hai. Aur salunkhe sir aate hi hone. Ab aap jayiye na.
She looks away unable to meet his eye. Abhi is adamant.
Tarika : aap jayiye warna main dobara naraz hojaungi.
Abhi : hein? Ha ha.. ja raha hu! Baad mein milte hai.
Abhi : (internal thinking as he leaves the lab) Aap bhi na TarikaJi. Main aapse baat kare bina reh sakta hu kya?
Tarika (thinking) : Main aapse kabhi naraz ho sakti hu kya ?
Her mobile begins to ring. It's Naina. Salunkhe enters the lab glad that Abhijit is leaving.
: End of flashback :
Back in forensic lab, Abhijit was smiling leaning over her desk still lost in memories of previous day, unaware that his colleagues who entered the lab were watching him.
"Abhijit..." ACP Pradyuman began speaking irritably.
Purvi: Abhijit Sir.
Salunkhe: aree oh Abhijit..
Abhijit looked up and saw Tarika smiling down at him.
ACP (Abhijit was imagining him as Tarika) : Abhijit agar koi case nai hai.. toh purane files dekh sakte the. Nau baj gaye dekho..
Abhi : are aap yaha? aur yeh sab aap kyoun keh rahi hai?
ACP : Main nai kahoonga toh kya Salunkhe kahega?
ACP shouted and Abhijit grimaced as he saw who he was talking to. Just great. Senior Inspector Abhijit started imagining Dr. Tarika everywhere. How charming! He wanted to bang his head.
Abhi : sorry sir..
ACP : tum yaha kya karre ho?
Abhi : ( embarrassed ) oh main sirf relax ho raha tha. Aap sab log yaha kaise? Main toh khud nikalne hi wala tha.
Daya : haan dekhliya Boss, tum lab se bahar nikalne hi wale the hai na?
Abhi : ( glares at him )
Shreya walks in informing someone called up and thankfully Abhijit was saved from further embarrassment.
Shreya hands over the mobile to Daya.
Caller : Sir mere bhai aur bhabhi achanak mar gaye!
Daya : Kya? Kaise? Kisine maara kya?
Caller : nai sir.. achanak mar gaye! mujhe toh laga tha ki yeh istefak hai! lekin..
Daya : are kisi ne nai mara toh mare kaise?
Caller : Sir aisi bohot si baatein hai jo main aapse keh sakta hoon. Lekin phone pe nahi sir. Please aap humare Navyug society aajayiye na..
Daya : Dekho bachhu agar yeh koi mazak hai toh tumpe bohot bhaari parega.
Caller : Nai nai sir. yeh mazak nai. Maine apne bhai bhabhi ko kho dia. Main nai chahta aisa kisi aur ke saath bhi ho.. Please sir! Sirf aap hi meri madad karsakte hai.
Daya : theek hai.. hum waha pahunchenge. Naam kya hai tumhara?
caller : sir Kishore sir.
Daya : theek hai..
Caller hangs up.
Daya : ACP sir mujhe lagta hai hume ek baar jaake us bichare se millena chahiye.
ACP : hmm.. Abhijit tum aur Purvi jao aur patha lagao ki baat kya hai.
Abhijit : Ji sir..
they leave.
Navyug society:
Abhi : kisne phone kia hume? hum log CID se hai..
A guy : achha hua Sir aap agaye! Sir maine hi aapko phone kia..
He starts crying.
Abhi : Please rona band karo aur hume batao. baat kya hai?
Kishore : Sir.. meri bhaiya bhabhi ki maut hogayi sir. Unko koi biimari bhi nai thi. Hum unhe hospital legaye toh doctor ne kahan ki heart failure hai..
Abhi : ( annoyed ) Ismein hum kya kar sakte hai?
Kishore : Sir main ek medical student hu sir. Aise achanak heart failure kaise ho sakta hai? Mujhe laga kahi kisi ne jaan boochke..
Purvi interrupts : shayad tum kuch zyada soch rahe ho?
Kishore : Pehle mujhe bhi yahi laga tha. Par Sir, humari society mein ek aur married couple ki maut hogayi aaj. Unki bhi nayi nayi shaadi hui. Unki bhi heart failure. Kaise Sir?
Abhi : hmm.. Kitne din hue tumhare bhai bhabhi ko mare hue?
Kishore : Sir kuch das din..
Abhi : pehle phone kyoun nai kia?
Kishore : Sir main khud kuch confirm nai karpaya.. aap ko kaise phone karta.
Purvi : achha toh kya hum unse milsakte hai jinke yaha yeh dusre married couple rehte the?
Kishore : Aunty Ji ka ro ro ke bura hogaya Madam. woh yahi paas mein rehte hai. Lekin iss wakt, shayad hospital mein hongi..
Purvi : Kaunsi hospital?
Kishore : City hospital Ma'm.
City hospital :
Abhi : yahan koi admit hua jinki maut hogayi baad mein..?
Receptionist : Haan sir. Subah do log admit hue the. Par pehle se hi wo mar chuke the. Lekin unki family tayyar hi nai ki yeh maanle. Unke bodies mortury mein hai..
Abhi : Shukria. Purvi zara is aunty ji se milo aur kuch pata lagao..
Purvi : Ji sir.
Five minutes later Purvi arrives.
Purvi : Sir.. inki bhi kuch das din pehle shaadi hui thi sir. Dono ke beech koi jhagda bhi nai. Achanak hogayi unki maut, heart failure ki waja se..
Kishore : Dekha sir.. Kaha tha na maine. Please Sir. Patha lagayiye ki kaun hai iske peeche. Please Sir.. Pleaseeee..
Abhi tries to console him.
Abhi : Agar is sab ke peeche koi hai toh use saza zaroor milegi.. ab tum ghar jao..
Kishore : Ji sir. Shukria.
Kishore leaves. Abhi calls up Daya and informs him. Daya and others discuss the matter.
Bureau :
ACP : Kuch toh garbar hai Daya. Aur patha lagaao.. aur pooch taach karo In married couples ke baare mein. Aur yeh bhi pata lagaao ki aise aur bhi deaths hua ki nahi..
A while later Nikhil arrives with Sachin.
Nikil : Sir.. Sir in dono jodiyon ki ek hi matrimonial site ke zariye shaadi hui hai. makemyshaadi . com
Sachin : Aur inki shaadi Dilli ke kisi Mariot Palace mein hui hai Sir.
Shreya arrives.
Shreya : Sir, aise pure nau aur cases hai sir. Sab log heart failure se maare gaye. Aur..
ACP : aur..
Shreya : aur in sabki bhi shaadi kuch das din pehle hui thi sir.
Abhi and Purvi reach there and are taken aback.
Abhi : My god.. Sab ki nayi nayi shaadi hui. How sad!
Shreya : Haan Sir, Kitne sapne dekhe honge sab ne. Sare sapne toot gaye!
After a moment's silence Daya spoke.
Daya : Sir mujhe lagta hai Is matriominal site ka koi chakkar hai sir.
ACP : haan Daya. tum aur Shreya jao unke office mein aur patha lagane ki koshish karo.
Salunkhe was busily examining dead bodies of a married couple CID had brought to the lab.
CID team entered the lab with a huff.
ACP : Kuch pata chala Salunkhe? Kaisi hui inki maut?
Abhi : Salunkhe Sir.. Kitne slow hai aap? ab jaldi kijiye warna..
Salunkhe : in angry tone : haan haan main slow hu. Meri umar hogayi. Par kya karun? Saara kaam akele sambalna parega!
Abhi : are phir Tarika ji ko kyoun bhej dia?
Salunkhe : agar woh sirf meri assisant hoti toh nai bhejta. Par beti jaisi hai woh meri. Badi khush thi, apni dost ki shaadi mein jana chahti thi. main mana nai karpaya. Aha! Pradyuman.. aap log sahi the. Inki maut heart failure ki waja se hui. Lekin heart failure ek drug ki waja se hui..
Abhi : Kaisa drug?
Salunkhe : yeh drug ek slow poison ki tarah hai. Blood mein cholestrol achanak bad jaati hai.. aur kuch das pandrah dinon mein un logon ki heart failure hojati hai!
ACP : matlub yeh drug kisi na kisi tarah inke andar inject kia gaya kuch das din pehle. Shadi ke din koi aisa kyoun karega? Woh bhi itne logon ke saath. Vun matrimonial logon se pata lagayiye ..
At the matrimonial office :
Man (receptionist) : Sir kahiye kiski shadi karwani hai?
Daya ( confused ) : ji inki. yeh shreya hai meri collegue. Ek accha sa ladka miljaye jo inko khush rakhein bas.
the Man smiled.
Man : agar aapko itna hi fikar hai toh aap shaadi kyoun hai kar lete inse hmm?
Shreya 's face turned red and Daya grumbled.
Daya : are oh tum apne kaam se kaam rakho ok?
Man : sorry sir. Sirf ek suggestion tha.
Daya : achha toh inka naam shreya hai. yeh ek engineer hai. kuch achhe matches hai aapke paas?
Man : haan sir kyoun nai hai! Pehle aapko registration karwana hoga. Uske baad aapka profile online available hoga. Aur agar koi aapko ya kisi ko aap pasand aajaye, baat age badh sakti hai.
Daya : Kya shaadi bhi aap hi karadenge. I mean hall, arrangements sab kuch?
Man : nai sir. Lekin haan ek package hai humare paas. Agar aap log Delhi ke Mariot Palace book karna chahte hai toh aapko pachas percent discount milsakta hai..
Daya : dicount haan? Kya isi tarah laalach mein phasaa ke logon ko marre ho tum?
Man : Aap kya keh rahe ho sir? aur kaun ho aap?
Daya: CID. Aur Sach keh raha hu main. tumhare yaha jinki shaadi hui sab mar chuke hai.. woh bhi das din ke andar. Bolo kaise maara tumne sab ko..?
Man : Sir, humne kisi ko nai maara.. aur maarenge kyoun. Agar hum badnaam hue toh business kaise chalega! aur hum kisi ke saat zabardasti nai karte ki woh wahi jaake shaadi karein.
Daya : Waise kaisi business hai aapki? Chakkar kya hai Mariot palace ka?
Man : Sir. yeh Mariot palace bhootiyan hai. Isliye Dilli mein koi bhi waha shaadi karne keliye tayyar nahi hai, isliye agar hum kuch logon ki shaadi wahan arrange karde toh hume kuch paise milte hai saab. isse zyada kuch nai. Please yakin kijiye..
Daya was satisfied.
Daya : Philhaal keliye yakin karliya. Zarurat pade toh phir se puchtaach karenge.
