Part - 3
Riya stepped out and sat on the passenger seat, next to Sam.
"Kahiye Sir..."
"You like Arjun...Don't you?" he asked her with a smile on his lips.
And she was looking at him shocked.
"Sir woh..."
"Riya, bahane banane se koi faayda nahi hoga..." he replied.
**********
And Riya lowered her face and started looking here n there.
She was struggling for an explanation, an answer. And that was enough for Sameer to clear his doubts that yes, this dimpled girl sitting next to him had feelings for his best friend.
He was happy, because he knew that she was the perfect one for Arjun.
Few minutes later, Sam dropped Riya at her place, and was driving towards his place.
**********
The next day,
ETF had a tough case to be solved.
But Sameer had some other plans.
"Shut up! Chup karo sab! Fish market nahi ETF Office hai yeh!" he yelled.
Pin-drop silence!
"Aayesha, Chotu, Shree, Sakshi ik team mein honge...mein, Vaishali alag, aur Riya aur Arjun saath mein alag hoge...3 different teams for 3 different tasks...Am I clear?" he announced.
The team nodded in +ve and left for their tasks.
**********
"Sir..." she said.
"Haan Riya..." he replied.
"Sir...tips ke liye thanks..." she said, flashing her dimpled smile.
He looked at her for a sec or so, and then turning away his face, he spoke up with a smile,
"Welcome Riya..."
She cherished that moment, so did he.
This girl never tried to impress him. But in a way or the other, indirectly ended up impressing him.
She had changed. And he loved this +ve change in her.
**********
"Specky Sen, kahaan kho gaye janaab?" Aayesha spoke up.
He was indeed lost somewhere. He had burried himself in his tabby, as usual.
He was going through the pictures of a dinner meet of the whole ETF Team few months back. But there was one face which made him both smile and angry.
It was her. Liza D'Cruz.
**********
It took ETF 3-4 days to solve the case. And now it was time for paper work.
It was nearly 9 in the night, when Shree knocked the doors of Chotu's place.
Chotu opened the door, and looked at Shree,
"Kya hai Shree, itni raat ko kyun aaya hai?"
"Arpi hai kya?" Shree asked, as he moved to the right and to the left and tried to sneak in.
Chotu's hand reached his ponytail.
Shree instantly spoke up,
"Arey mere bhai, gussa kyun hota hai...mera matlab hai ki Arpita Bhabhi hai kya?"
Chotu nodded in +ve and moved aside, letting him in.
Arpita was busy arranging plates for dinner, when she noticed Shree coming in.
"Arey Shree...aao na...tum bhi humein join karo dinner ke liye..." she said.
"Filhaal ke liye toh ik problem ka solution chahiye..." replied Shree.
"Par mein kaise help karun..." she asked.
And Shree explained her the situation,
"Mujhe na...mujhe Liza se pyaar ho gaya hai..." he said.
And Chotu looked at him with his eyes popped out!
"Aga bai! Vaise toh tu usse, aur woh tujhse ladte jhagadte nahi thakte..." he said.
"Kuch bhi Chotu...(he looked at Arpita) baaki details kabhi free time mein dunga...par filhaal ke liye yeh batao ki mein kya karun...3 din baad uski shaadi hai...matlab Sunday ko...aur aaj wednesday ki raat hai...mein kya karun..." Shree said.
Arpita started thinking when Chotu spoke up,
"Usse bhaga kar le ja!"
