Prologue
Somewhere in a deserted mansion in Mumbai, a bearded man whose features were well hidden in shadows was pacing up and down the corridor. His breathing was ragged, his eyes scanning every inch of the dimly lit hall below as if he was awaiting someone.
"Kahan hai wohh?" he screamed causing his subordinates shudder.
He heard the door creak open and the sound of footsteps approaching him.
"Maal agaya saab.." the new man who entered bowed to him as he rushed with a huge black suit case.
"you are late.." the man cooed but smiled when he opened up the suit case and eyed the valuables inside.
"Good job... Kisi ko koi kabar nai hui na..?" he asked.
"Nai sir.. " the man responded as his supreme let out a maniacal laugh.
In Forensic Lab Tarika was happily chatting with her friend whose marriage was fixed. Salunkhe was delighted to see her smiling and enjoying. He missed her smiles, the light moments in lab. Now that all cases have been solved for the moment, he can sit back and enjoy.
"Badi khush ho Tarika?" he asked as she disconnected the call.
"Haan sir, meri dost Naina ki shaadi hai na. sir woh meri sabse achhi dost hai.. uski Avinash se shaadi honewali hai! Woh chahti hai ki main jaldi uske ghar pahunch javun. Ek hafte ka leave kaise milega Sir mujhe. ACP sir se kaise.."
The door barged open and enter Abhijit and other officers.
Salunkhe snorted, "lab mein chain se rehne nai denge yeh log.."
Tarika went on unaware that she was not alone with Salunkhe sir, "ACP sir se kaise kahoongi mujhe ek hafte ka leave chahiye? aur main.."
She stopped in mid-sentence when she spotted Abhi, Daya, Shreya, Purvi, Rajat, Freddy and ACP sir.
"achha toh itne saalon ke baad bhi tum khulke baat nai karsakti mujhse Tarika?" ACP asked her and added, "tumhe ek hafte ki chutti milegi. Aaraam se jaana apni dost ki shaadi mein. Agar koi case hai toh Salunkhe sambhal dega.. hai na Salunkhe?"
Salunkhe nodded and smiled. Tarika mumbled a thank you and beamed. Abhijit opened his mouth to protest. How can ACP sir grant her leave for a whole week but stopped when he saw her happy face. He'd miss her badly but he wouldn't ruin her happiness just for himself.
that evening in cafeteria..
Abhijit was sipping coffee, slightly upset as Tarika would be leaving for Delhi that night.
Abhi : (in a sad tone) aaj toh kamaal hai.. ek bhi case nai mila. Boring!
Other CID officers just nodded. Daya knew Abhi was talking of another issue. He was just upset because he didn't get proper chance to speak to Tarika even when he was free.
Daya : haan isiliye ACP sir ne Tarika ko leave de diya..
Abhi : (coughs) yaad dilaane keliye shukria.. (murmurs) yaad kyoun Dilaaya yar!
Daya : (with a naughty smile) bhool kaise gaya yar? Aaj raat ko nikalne waali hai. Tarika ji ko airport nai chodna hai kya?
Abhi (internal talk) : Ab pata nai.. inko airport chodke vaapis apaaounga bhi ya nahi! yebhi nai pata ek hafta kaise katega Tarika Ji ke bina..
Daya : Kat jayegi dost! Apne dil pe patthar rakhna parega tumhe..
Abhi (confused): Kahin maine zor se toh nai bola na? hein?
Daya (laughs) : hein.. Sab ko sunayi diya ki Janab Tarika ji ko kitna miss karnewale hai..
Everyone laughed.
Abhi : (embarrassed and hurt ) haso haso daya.. teri tang kheenchne ka mauka hume bhi milega..
Just then Shreya entered
Shreya : Are sir aap sab log yaha.. Salunkhe sir Tarika ko airport chorne nikal rahe hai..
Daya noticed her strained face. Abhi jumped up in his seat.
Abhi : Tarika ji yahan aayi hai?
Shreya : haan sir.. woh salunkhe sir ne kahan ki ek baar milke jaao toh aagayi..
Abhi : (smiles and leaves wid others)
In the hall :
Tarika stood wid her bags.
Tarika : kitna achha hota sir, agar aap sab mere saath chalte! Kitna maza aata..
ACP : haan lekin yeh aapki dost ki shaadi hai..
Tarika : haan sir par phir bhi. Aap log ek break nai lesakte kya?
Freddy : are Tarika.. tumhe khush hona chahiye ki ACP sir ne kamsekam tumhe jaane derahe hai.. Ab isse pehle iraada badal jaye, tum jao.
ACP glared and all laughed.
Tarika : Accha Sir. See you all soon..
Her eyes wandered around to stop on Abhijit.
Tarika : main aap sab logon ko bahut (Abhi smiles and tarika looks down blushing) miss karoongi..
Abhijit murmurs main bhi. Everyone smile at her childish antics and say 'ek hafta hi hai na..'
And she leaves with Salunkhe. Shreya was feeling dizzy, but she manages to wave bye to Tarika and Salunkhe sir. She wanted to drink some water and trips as dizziness overpowers her.
Daya who noticed this jumps to hold her by her shoulders and asks, "Kya hua.. subah se kuch nai khaya kya shreya? Ab mujhe nai pata aaj guruvaar ko upvaas rakhne ki kya zaroorat hai? Kal hi toh bukhar kam hua na.. phir?"
He makes her sit. She drinks water and smiles.
"t.. thank you sir. Woh.. main.. I'm sorry Sir. Age se dhyan rakhoongi.. " Shreya looks down unable to meet his eyes.
Abhi notices DaReya's clasped hands and his eyes gleam mischievously.
