I don't think you do...after all it has been so long I have been here to post a story...but today, I'm here with a story, once again to eat all of your heads up...hahaha...but this time, a unbelievable thing is going to happen, that is you will get regular updates :) hai na ajeeb ki mere se regular updates mil jaye... :)

Well, the theme entirely belongs to Kritika and few ideas from Riya also...(dekho Riya, de diya credit) :)

AT ACP SIR'S HOME…

Evening…

Four people sitting on sofas having teacups in their hands…two younger persons sitting opposite to each other on single sofas and two elderly persons sitting at the extreme ends of a big sofa…complete silence is their in the room but still conversation is going on between two of them through eye movements…this was clearly being noted by one of the elders and he smiles secretly but says nothing, while the other elder is looking quite frustrated and was showing his anger on his tea cup by putiing extra sugar in it…the other three continuously smiling over him while his friend says…

Person(trying to be serious): Salunkhe…mere ghar ki cheeni khatam nahi honi chahiye, dhyaan rahe…

A small giggle escaped from the other two while Salunkhe immediately place the spoon and his cup on the table and say in anger…

Salunkhe: Maine soch liya hai Pradyuman…

ACP: Kya soch liya hai tune ha? Itni jaldi me maine Abhijeet aur Daya ko bhi bula liya tere kehne pe ki pata nahi aisi kaun si baat kehni hai tujhe jo inko bhi aane ka keh raha tha…ab bol bhi de…ki kya soch liya hai tune…

Salunkhe: Maine soch liya hai boss, ki mai CID chhor dunga…

ACP and Abhijeet exclaimed together: Sach me!

This raised Salunkhe's anger more and he looked at both of them while Abhijeet now preferred to concentrate on his teacup while ACP trying to manage as…

ACP: Hmm…mera matlab hai…aisa kyu keh raha hai yaar tu…CID chorne ki kya zaroorat hai…

Abhijeet: Haan, wahi to…CID chorne ki kya zaroorat hai (naughtily) transfer le liya to bhi kaam chal jayega…(ACP sir looked at him signalling him to stop teasing him more while he himself was unable to control his continuous smile…here Daya was better in acting this time as he had managed a really innocent look during all this…)

Salunkhe(standing in anger): Bas…ab to mai zaroor chhor dunga CID…

ACP(with a serious face): hmmmm…(teasing him more)

Salunkhe: Mujhe pata hai ki tum dono bahut khush honge iss baat se…ki Salunkhe to gaya…(sadly)yaha to bas ek Daya hi hai jo mere emotions ki kadr kerta hai…(Daya looked at him and smiled a little and then looked at Abhijeet who gave him a 'Oh really' look…Daya smiled at him and again started sipping his tea…)

ACP(tired of his friend's childish acts): Salunkhe, abb batayega bhi ki baat kya hai…

Salunkhe: Baat ye hai ki….(and ACP's mobile rings…)

Salunkhe gave the mobile a disgusted look as if it has commited a crime by interfering him…ACP looked at him and smiled...he looked at the screen and said to Salunkhe in whisper: Aise mat dekh mere mobile ko, nazar lag jayegi ise…(saying so he left from there and picked up the call…)

After a few minutes, he came back to them….

ACP: Salunkhe, ab tu CID baad me chorna…filhal to lab me ja…ek lash mili hai beach pe…hum ja rahe hai aur thori der tak tere paas pahuch jayegi dead body...(Saying so he left, Daya also left behind him)

Abhijeet was the last to leave and while leaving he whispered in Salunkhe's ear: Waise idea bura nahi ahi doctor saab…(and left from there smiling…Salunkhe was standing there with open mouth)

Abhijeet joined the other ACP sir and Daya who were sitting in the car…

ACP(looking at the back seat where Abhijeet was sitting): Kya bol ke aye tum use…

Abhijeet(innocently): Kuch bhi to nahi sir…(ACP nodded disappointedly and again looked in front…)

After a minute, they noticed Salunkhe's car passing theirs…the three smiled and Daya now started the car and left for their next destination, THE BEACH…

As the car came to a halt, three extremely serious and professional cops came out of it…no one can say that they were having fun with each other an hour ago…

A local police inspector came running to them as he spotted them…he came and saluted them…

ACP: Kya hua hai yaha?

Insp: Ek ladki ki body hai sir…beach ke uss area me mili hai jaha jyada bheed nahi hoti hai…kuch bacche jab yaha aye to unhone dekhi aur hume inform kiya…

ACP: Kaha hai wo bacche?

Insp: Wahi hai sir, body ke paas…humara ek aur officer hai waha per…(ACP nodded and they moved to the spot)

After reaching there…

ACP: Kya dekha tum logo ne yaha per…?

One of them answered: Sir hum to yaha college ke ek project ke liye aye the…tabhi hume ye lash dikhi…

Abhijeet(confused): College ke project ke liye beach pe aye the?

Another student: Haan sir, hum professional photography ke students hai to hume aksar aise projects milte hai…hume thora khali area chahiye tha to hum iss taraf aa gaye kyuki yaha koi aata jata nahi hai…per yaha aye to dekha ki ye lash yaha padi hui hai…humne dekhte hi turant police ko inform ker diya sir…

Daya: Aur kisi ko dekha yaha aas paas…?

Students nodded in no…

Abhijeet: Iss taraf aate hue koi dikha ho jiske haav bhaav se theek na lag raha ho…garbar lag raha ho, aisa koi?

Student: Nahi sir, aisa to koi bhi nahi…

ACP: Hmmm…theek hai tum log jao…zarurar pade to wapas bula lenge…(to Insp)inka naam, number aur address le liya hai na (he nodded in yes…so ACP to students)..chalo phir jao tum log…thank you..

The students moved out of the scene…ACP, Daya and Abhijeet now went to the dead body to examine it…

Abhijeet: Sir, lash adhi ret(sand) me hai aur adhi bahar…

Daya: Haan, samandar ki lehro ki wajah se ret hat gayi hogi…

Abhijeet: Ajeeb hai…itna to khooni ko bhi pata hoga ki kuch der me hi ret ha jayegi aur lash bahar aa jayegi…

Daya: ho sakta hai ki use waqt hi na mila ho itna...isiliye yahi daal di jaldi me…

ACP: Haan per yaha use kaun dekhne aa raha tha…khair, jab milega to apne saare doubts clear ker lena...abhi zara ise dekhte hai...

By the time, Tasha also joined them as Abhijeet had called them after knowing that the dead body was that of a lady…

ACP(to Tasha): Zara palto ise…

Tasha did so and now the face of the woman could be seen partially as it was still full of sand…She carefully cleared the sand from her face and neck…

Tasha: Sir iski garden per(she pointed to a particular point on the lady's neck) yaha per kuch kharoch ke nishaan dikh rahe hai…per sir itne se kisi ki maut ho sakti hai kya?

Abhijeet: Nahi Tasha, lagta to nahi hai ki iski maut sirf in mamuli kharochon ki wajah se hui hogi…zara dekho, aur koi chot ke nishaan hai kya…(Tasha nodded and started checking the body)

ACP got a call and he moved aside to talk…after he cut the call, Abhijeet and Daya came to him and he said to them…

ACP: Hume ek naya officer join ker raha hai kuch dino ke liye…Sachin kuch time ke liye Banglore gaya hai ek case ke liye jo CID join kerne se pehle wo head ker raha tha…wo ek gang ke peeche tha aur wo pakra bhi gaya tha per abhi pata chala hai ki wo wapis active hone lage hai per iss baar wo log Mumbai ki jagah Banglore ko target ker rahe hai…isiliye use bulaya tha waha ke CID ke head ne, taaki usse kuch information mil sake aur wo log uss gang ko pakar sake…aur jab tak wo wapas nahi aa jata tab tak ke liye DCP Chitrole ne ek dusra officer appoint kiya hai (sighing) hopefully apne type ka na kiya ho…(Abhijeet and Daya smiled on that when Tasha called them from behind)

Abhijeet: Haan Tasha, mila kuch…

Tasha: Nahi sir, itni jyada ret hai is lash per ki kuch theek se pata hi nahi chal raha hai…per shayad iske sar ke peeche chot lagi hai…

Abhijeet: Koi baat nahi…wo sab to Dr. Salunkhe pata laga hi lenge (a smile crept on three lips on remembering the last conversation)

Daya: Koi identification mili iske paas se?

Tasha: Nahi sir…kuch bhi nahi hai…

ACP: Theek hai…ek kaam karo, lash ko forensic lab bhej do aur Vivek ko yaha bula lo aur aas paas ka area ache se search karo…ho sakta hai ki koi suraag mil jaye…

Tasha: ji sir…aur ambulance ko maine pehle hi call ker diya tha…bas aati hi hogi abhi…

ACP: Good…(to duo) aur tum dono chalo mere sath…DCP baitha hoga waha bureau me humare intezaar me…(The three nodded and then Tasha stayed there and the rest of them including the police insp left the spot…)

IN BUREAU…

ACP sir entered followed by Daya and Abhijeet…they looked at the bureau…only two persons were there…DCP Chitrole and Freddy…means Vivek had already left for the crime spot…Abhijeet looked at Freddy and sighed seeing the poor Freddy handling their head all alone…

DCP: Arre aao aao…kab se wait ker raha hu mai…kitna wait kerwate ho yaar…

Abhijeet(whispered to Daya): Ache mood me hai…matlab humara mood kharab hone wala hai…(Daya also smiled on that…DCP noticing that came and stood in front of him…)

DCP: Kya hua ha? Hasi kis baat ki aa rahi hai itni…?

Daya(trying to look serious): Kuch nahi sir…aap yaha aye, bas isi baat ki khushi ho rahi hai…

DCP: Haan haan, pata hai mujhe kitni khushi hoti hai tum logo ko mujhe yaha dekh ke…

ACP(trying to stop th conversation): Sir…wo..(DCP looked at him)…a keh rahe the koi new officer hume join kerne wala hai…kaha hai sir…kahi dikh nahi raha hai…kal se join karega kya…?

DCP: Kal se kyu…join to aaj se hi karega wo…aa raha hai bas abhi…

Just then, a voice came from behind: Sir…

ACP, Daya, Abhijeet and Freddy looked at there back to find the voice source and saw a tall, good looking, smart person standing there…Seeing him, Daya's eyes sparkled with happiness and a big smile crept on his face but he composed himself and became normal before turning back to DCP…ACP, Abhijeet and Freddy noticed that spark well but they too remained silent…

DCP: Ye lo ACP…aa gaya tumhara naya officer…Inspector Abhiraaj…(Abhiraaj also came to them and formally shaked hand with all of them as DCP introduced them to every member present there…)

DCP: Pradyuman…(ACP looked at him)..dekho mera kaam to ho gaya…ab mai chala, mujhe bahut kaam hai…

ACP(relieved): Ji sir…

As soon as DCP left, ACP, Abhijeet and Freddy turned to Daya who was all in smile looking at Abhiraaj who was trying to look serious…

Daya(moving towards him): Chalo, bahut serious hone ki koshish ker li, ab band karo…mujhe pata hai tum kabhi serious nahi ho sakte…(with this both of them shared a laugh and gave each other a quick hug…)

ACP cleared his throat to gain their attention…they turned to them and found three curious eyes waiting for some explainations…Daya held Abhiraaj by his wrist and pulled him towards other…Abhijeet silently looked at Daya's hand which was now holding Abhiraaj's hand and then looked at Daya's face who was looking too happy…he once looked at Abhiraaj and then asked Daya…

Abhijeet: Daya, tum jante ho ise…?

Daya: Haan, Abhijeet…(looking at Abhiraaj)..Abhi…mera matlab hai…Abhiraaj mera college ka dost hai…phir hum police academy me bhi sath me the…per pass out hone ke baad hum dono ki posting alag alag jagah ho gayi…meri CID Mumbai me aur iski Kolkata me…(Abhijeet nodded)

ACP: Acha chalo abhi sab ke sab ghar jao…aaj to itne kaam me hi kafi time nikal gaya…ab forensic ki reports to kal subah se pehle aayegi nahi…tab tak tum sab bhi rest le lo…

Abhijeet: Sir Vivek aur Tasha nahi aye hai ab tak…wo aa jaye phir nikal jayenge sath me…pata bhi chal jayega ki unhe kuch mila ya nahi…

ACP: Don't worry Abhijeet…mai unse call kerke bol dunga ki crime scene se seedhe ghar hi jaye…itni der me to shayad nikal bhi gaye honge waha se…kuch mila hoga to forensic lab hi bhijwa denge…

Abhijeet: Ji sir…hum chalte hai…good night sir…

ACP: Good night…

They all left for their respective homes…ACP made a call to Vivek who informed him that they were still at the site but didn't find anything yet…ACP asked them to move to their homes now and then he himself left for his home…

Here on the other hand, Abhijeet, Daya, Freddy and Abhiraaj descended the stairs…all the time Daya and Abhiraaj were talking to each other…and Freddy and Abhijeet were following them while talking about the case, but Abhijeet's main concentration was Daya and Abhiraaj…when they reached near the parking area…

Daya: Tum log yahi ruko, mai gadi le ker aata hu…(to Abhiraaj)..Yaar ABHI (Abhijeet looked at Daya for a second and then turned back to Freddy, trying to involve with him…Daya continued)…tum bhi chalo na humare sath…tumhe bhi ghar drop ker denge…yeh sahi rahega na ABHIJEET…(Abhijeet looked at them and nodded…)

Abhiraaj also agreed…Daya happily went to get the car…after a few minutes, he came and stopped the car near the gate...the three went there…Abhiraaj opened the front door and sat there…Abhijeet stopped for a second in his tracks and looked at the passenger seat which was now occupied…but then he again walked towards the car and sat behind with Freddy…Daya who was observing everything had clearly seen his buddy's reaction though it was just for a second that he had stopped but still it was enough for him to understand his mind and feelings…he himself was feeling a little weird as Abhiraaj occupied that seat, although he was also his friend…a very close one…
