Hey guys here's the next chapter
Thank you everyone for your reviews
Abhijeet stepped into the house, feeling the weight of the day settle over him like a heavy blanket. The scolding from ACP Pradyuman earlier in the day still lingered in his mind, but a small smile tugged at his lips as he heard a faint, sleepy cry from another room.
"Aarav," he muttered softly, shaking his head with fondness before heading to his room.
After freshening up, he made his way to the kitchen, where he grabbed a water bottle from the refrigerator. He had just taken a sip when he heard soft footsteps. Turning, he saw Priya entering the kitchen, her hair tied up and a weary yet warm smile on her face.
"Abhi, tu aa gaya. how was your day?"she asked, leaning against the counter.
Abhijeet shrugged, placing the water bottle on the counter. "Kya bataun, bhabhi? ACP sir se daant toh mili hi, lekin ek badi lead mili hai human trafficking case mein. Mujhe lagta hai, we're close to cracking it."
Priya's face lit up with encouragement. "Wahi toh, tumhe kabhi underestimate nahi karte, Papa. Unka gussa bas tension hoti hai."
Abhijeet chuckled. "Woh gussa tension nahi, tradition hai. CID ki legacy jo maintain karni hai."
Priya laughed lightly. "Chalo, leave that for now. Tumhare bhai ka din bhi crazy tha, but we managed. Aarav bhi tumhare bina so nahi raha tha."
As if on cue, a small voice called out from the doorway. "Abu chachu,"Aarav mumbled, rubbing his sleepy eyes and clutching his little blanket.
Abhijeet turned with a grin, immediately crouching down and spreading his arms. "Aarav, champ! Yeh raat ko jag raha hai? Kyun? Chachu ko miss kar raha tha?"
Aarav nodded, waddling over as Abhijeet scooped him up in his arms. Priya shook her head fondly. "Yeh toh tabhi sota hai jab tumhara naam le le. Bola 'Dadu toh office mein hain, Abu chachu se milenge tab soyenge.'"
Abhijeet made an exaggerated airplane noise as he swung Aarav gently. "Toh chalo, ek chhota pilot bana dete hain tumhe!"Aarav's giggles filled the room as Abhijeet continued to play with him.
Priya watched, her hands resting on her hips, her heart full. "Bas, bas, zyada mat khilao. He'll get too hyper, aur phir woh soye ga nahi."
Abhijeet kissed Aarav's forehead before settling down on the couch with him. He began roll him gently the same boy ,Priya recognized from years ago. "Ab so jao, champ. Abu chachu ko kal phir tumhari naughty tricks dekhni hain."
As Aarav's eyes closed, Priya softly said, "Waise, Abhi, yaad hai tumhare bhai ki engagement par tumne kya kiya tha? Tum bas 14 saal ke the aur har kisi ko mithai serve kar rahe the."
Abhijeet chuckled as he placed Aarav gently on the couch and tucked him in. "Kaise bhool sakta hoon, bhabhi? Bhaiya late ho gaye the aur aap unko daant rahi thi, 'Manoj, shaadi se pehle hi time nahi hai tumhare paas.'"
Priya laughed. "Aur tum apne share ki mithai chhup chhup ke kha rahe
Before Abhijeet could respond, the sound of a vehicle halting outside interrupted them. His expression shifted instantly. "Papa ,"he said, quickly placing his plate down. "Goodnight, bhabhi. Kal milte hain."
As Abhijeet disappeared into his room, Priya sighed and walked to the door. Opening it, she found ACP Pradyuman standing tall, his sharp eyes scanning the quiet street behind him.
"Papa, andar aaiye," she said, stepping aside to let him in.
He walked in, removing his cap and placing it on the side table."Aarav so gaya?" he asked, his tone softening as he glanced toward the living room.
Priya nodded. "Haan, Abhi ne sulaya hai. Poore din aapka naam le raha tha, 'Dadu kab aayenge?'"
Pradyuman's face softened as he walked to the couch and gently adjusted Aarav's blanket. "Yeh chhota inspector toh meri jaan hai,"he murmured, his usual sternness melting for a moment.
Priya smiled. "Papa, Abhi Poore din case ke chakkar mein aur daant sunte sunte thak gaya tha."
Pradyuman straightened, his expression sharpening again. "Woh CID officer hai, Priya. Uski duty hai. Agar daant kaam kar rahi hai, toh iska matlab woh aur seekh raha hai."
Priya shook her head, half amused. Aap log bas ek dusre ko daante raho. Main so rahi hoon. Goodnight, Papa."
Pradyuman watched her retreat before glancing upstairs, where he knew Abhijeet was poring over his case notes. A small, proud smile tugged at his lips before he turned back to Aarav. "Dadu Miss you too beta".
