Chapter 17

Balam pichkari jo tune mujhe maari…….

It was the day of holi. The whole team ETF was invited to the Commisioner's special holi party at his place. The whole team went there, with Arjun, as it was strictly their boss's order.

The whole team reached at the party place at 11 am. There were also other officers from police forces and other investigation departments. Today, for a change, they were enjoying their life, without thinking of any cases or criminal.

Commisioner 's eyes fell on them and he approached them ,'' welcome team. Thank you for coming.''

They all shook hands and talked for some times. Then the trio left the seniors to talk and they went aside.

''badi mast party hain, nahi?''  chotu said cheerfully.

''kya khaak mast party hain? Bekar, boring.'' Shree said in an irritated voice.

''hey, none can say that Shaina Singh's party is boring.''

A girly voice startle them and they turned to look at her. She was dressed in white kurti and jeans.

''hi, Shaina.''  Riya addressed her. The duo was shocked.

''hey riya.''  She waved back and came towards them.

"tum dono ek dusre ko….'' Shree asked. Shaina smiled and said, ''kuch din pehle hi mile the.''

''so, what were you saying? Party is boring?'' she asked in an angry voice. Shree was mumbling, as she looked dangerous  while angry.

''who, main…''   before he could explain further, she laughed, shocking the duo. Not riya, as she was already started to knew her.

''you are right. Its so boring. Everyone is only talking. It's a holi party, Dammit !! not any normal party.'' She said, slightly irritated.

The "dammit" rang in riya's ears and suddenly she knew that Rathore sir and she is related. It was similar in tone like Rathore sir use it.

''waise, mere paas ek idea hain, aur mujhe tumhari madad chahiye, karoge?''  she asked for help. Shree and chotu looked at each other and nodded.

She planed to mix bhang in the cold drinks. Well, thandayi was not allowed, only cold drinks were allowed. So…..much to Riya's  no, don't, they went ahead with their plan.

They mixed it all into cold drinks.after finishing their work and feeling proud at themselves, Shaina , Shree and Chotu hi 5 ed each other. While , Riya looked at them at a safe distance, looking amused as well as worried.

Though Shaina looked as a tough girl, sometimes may be rude, but she was good at heart. And more of a prankster, Riya thought. She looked fondly at the trio. Her eyes went through the party and she eyed her rest of the team.

Rathore was talking to Commisioner  and Arjun was drinking…wait !!!!!

What the ….. he was drinking that drink mixed with bhang.

Now we are in a big trouble. Once he gained consciousness, then we are all dead, she thought, suddenly too tensed.

And to add her horror, she looked helplessly as Commisioner sir's wife also drank that cold drink.

Shit!!! Shit !! oh damn !!!  she muttered helplessly.

The trio were very pleased with themselves. Shaina excused herself and went to meet her best friend.

And guess what who's it????

It's Rathore.

They went college together.and they were best friends from many years.

''kya boring logon ke saath baatein karne mein busy ho, Sammy.'' She rolled her eyes, while Rathore was amused, and Commisioner looked fondly at these two. The only person in the world who can bear his crazy daughter is Sameer Rathore.

Rathore turned to her fully, and gave her a side hug.

''happy holi, Shai.''

''happy holi , Sammy.''

This historical moment was witnessed by the duo.

''arre yeh kya??? Kya tu  bhi wohi dekh raha hain jo main?''  shree asked, totally shocked to see the prankster girl was actually giving a hug to their khadoos boss.

''haan yaar.par iss mein chokne wali kya baat hain? Rathore sir ke to uche logon ke saath uthna baithna hain.''  Chotu answered, still looking shamelessly at them while their boss and his bff was busy chatting.

''hey guys? Tum log ETF se ho, hain na?'' 

A girl came in front of them, eyes full of questions, and a hint of recognition in her voice.

''wow yaar, hum itne famous hain???  Shree spoke aloud. The girl laughed and said, ''actually di ko dada ne bataya, aur di ne mujhe. Simple.''

''di?? Dada???  '' the duo was confused.

''arre, Shaina di meri badi behen hain, aur Sameer dada mere dada.'' She explained.then she raised her hands to shree's head. Shree sensed it and shout ,'' yeh kar kya rahi ho tum?''

''arre, dekh rahi thi, ki baal asli hain ya nahi.''  She answered innocently, while chotu burst into laughter.shree glared at chotu, while the girl spoke again, ''bilkul Maggie jaise hain, nahi? Acha naam hain, Maggie boy.'' She laughed on her private joke, and chotu laughed again.

''hi, I am puja.'' She gave her hand for hand shake. Chotu shook it happily, while shree was still pissed.

''aur main…'' chotu's sentence were cut off by her line…''I know, chotu and shree.'' She turned to shree and said in a challenging tone, ''tum gazette expert ho na? I am also computer expert in crime branch, with di. I bet main tumse fast kisi website ko hack kar sakti hoon.''

Shree's head shot up at the mention of gazette and computer.he said in an equally challenging tone, ''oh really? To kyun na ek din competition ho jaye, what say? Dekhte hain, kaun jeet ta hain?''

''great. Agar main jeeti to….umm….jo main kahoon, ok?'' she challenged.

''aur agar main jeeta, to jo main kahoon, who tum karoge. Deal?'' shree challenged her. She smiled and said, ''ok boss, deal.''

They chatted sometime, mostly about gazettes and laptops. Chotu was  too bored and went to Riya.

''ab shree ko bhi koi mil gaya. Sirf main hi akela reh gaya.'' He said sadly.

Riya's chain of thoughts were broke due to chotu's word. She looked at shree and puja, and smiled slightly. She asked, ''kyun, tumhari 11.30 waali ka kya haal hain?''

''arre puch mat Ri. Who…….'' Chotu stopped talking as his eyes fell on someone, and his eyes popped out from its socket.

''kya main jo dekh raha hoon, who sach hain?'' he said in a confused and happy tone, while Riya was confused at him.she looked at the direction where chotu was staring.there were some girls and boys, they were handling the catering.

''bhukkhar kahin ka.'' Riya accused. Chotu said in a happy tone, ''arre khane ko maar goli, who rahi meri 11.30 waali.''  (wah, yeh to poem ho gayi)

Riya shockingly looked at the place again.chotu excitedly pointed at that direction with his finger and said, ''who rahi, burkhe main. Dekha tune , Ri?''

There was an only girl who was wearing a burkha. The piece of cloth which should be on the face, covering it, was now on the girl's head.Riya looked at the girl, she was beautiful in her own way and she was pure.purity was all over her face, her personality, her aura.

''what an choice !!'' she muttered and chotu smiled in awe.he took out his phone and captured the girl in the phone's video camera.

But soon Riya's smile vanished at her eyes fell on the awesome foursome trouble.

Arjun was drinking one after another bhang wala cold drinks.

Commisioner's wife 's  condition  was bad, she was behaving madly, while her husband was unable to understand anything.

Shaina was so engrossed in her chatting with Sameer that she drank that cold drink.

The girl, what was her name?? the girl with shree was drinking that too, while shree tried to stop her, she roughly pushed his hand aside and continued drinking.

Great !!!! she thought too herself.
