"arre... meri bacchi, meri pari aarahi hai ghar itne dinnon baad... jaldi ghar sajao na... ae ji... aap kya aise baithe hai wahan... jaiye aur arrangements dekhiye..."
"Aanandi... relax... bacche shaam ko aa rahe hai right? aur kya tension lene se kaam bann jaayega?"
"Damsingh Rathodji, khaali baithne se bhi kaam nahin banta. Ab jaayiye naa..."
"jaata hun jaan... pehle hume pyaar to karlo..."
"chi,... aap bhi naa... paanch bacchon ke baap aur ek naati ke nana hai aap... hatiye hume bohut kaam hai..." she said walking away
"AUR KHABARDAAR PHIR AKHBAAR KO HAATH LAGAYA TO" she screamed from other end of the room.
"NAHIN PAKDUNGA JI..." he yelled from where he was shook his head.
~~~~~~~
Archana was going through a file while sipping black coffee, without sugar.
"you are drinking that decoction again?" Arjun sat next to her sipping his cutting chai.
"Its good for health you know? Unlike some heavily cream laden chai!"
"HEY!!! Don't you dare say something about my chai samjhi!! Aur ye kaun sa file hai jisme tu aise ghusi padi hai?" he asked lifted the file to see.
"Bas ETF ke purane cases ke baare mein padh rahi thi Arju..."
"accha... arre sunn.. Sameer ne mamma ko call kiya tha already..."
"kya? Sameer ke bacche!!!! Usse to main nahin chodungi!!! I wanted to surprise mamma and papa" she pouted and Arjun smiled.
"arre chod naa... ghar jaane ke baad dekhenge usko... yaha to wo humara chief hai" Arjun said in low tone.
"haan!!! His majesty Lord Sameer" she hi-5ed him and chuckled.
"suna maine Pari..." said sameer peaking from the file.
"accha hai..."
Rest of team was shocked to see different side of Arjun and sameer, especially Arjun. He was always strict, serious types. But today, he was smiling, and conspiring against his senior.
"liza, ye Rathod sir ko Arjun sir sameer kehke bulaye naa?" Aisha whispered to Liza.
"yep. And even Mam called him as sameer... shayad wo sab log ek dusre ko jaante hai...may be... friends?"
"may be... aur wo dekh Shreekant... jab se mam aayi hai tab se ghure jaa raha hai. Hehe... Gods sake she is elder to him.."
"karne de naa... kisika kya bigdega... par ye dekh ye files jo hume complete karni hai... chal... daant khane se pehle khatm karte hai..."
Liza and Aisha buried their faces in the files, where as Arjun gave his inputs about each case they had solved to Archana.

All were busy doing their work when Liza entered conference room with her phone.
She glanced across the room but did not find the person she was seeking.
"Sir aapne Chotu ko dekha?" she asked Arjun who was standing infront of fct board seeing something.
"He turned around and nodded a no to liza."
"I saw him talking to one of his informers liza. He must be in his work place" Aisha replied to her.
"par tum unhe kyun dhoond rahi ho? Baat kya hai?" she further asked.
"I ll tell once I am back" and liza ran out to chotu's work station.
Sameer and Arjun shared a glance at her eccentric ways but chose to ignore it.
~~~~
Chandrakant aka chotu was going through a file and was busy speaking to one of his informers. His back was towards the door so he was completely oblivious to the entry of Liza.
"nahin. Tum log bas uspe nazar rakho aur har ek cheez ka update mujhe do. Aur apne aadmiyon sambhalke rehna ko keh do. Wo log bohut shaatir hai. I don't want any life to be in danger. Samjhe?" his voice was gruff and rude.
"theek hai. Kuch khaas baat hai to call karna mujhe." And he kept the phone, closed the file and turned to the cabinet to place the same when he noticed Liza with a tensed expression.
"Liza tum yahan?"
"wo Chotu, mujhe Mathew ke nurse ne call kiya tha. Chitra ko Achanak pain shuru hua hai, she is taken to hospital. They tried to call you par..."
"kya?"
"tum jaldi se jao. I will handle here"
"thanks liza. I owe you" and with a blink of an eye he was out of the cabin towards exit.

"Arjun, ye case aaj tak ETF mein unsolved hai. Kyun?" Archana frowned going through the file. Arjun glanced at it and sighed.
"he is a shadow pari. Uske baare mein hamare paas koi clue, koi evidence nahin hai. Wo kaun hai ye tak koi nahin jaanta. Bas hame informed rakhne ke liye ye file high command ne diya hai hame. We never looked up into this case"
"oh.
At the same time sameer entered with commissioner sir. Dustin Coelho.
"Good morning sir" everyone in the team stood and wished him.
"Good morning team."
"Aisha, Chotu kahan hai?" sameer asked glancing across the room.
"Sir, his wife is admitted to hospital. Emergency hai. i sent him saying I will inform you" Liza told as soon as she entered and wished commissioner.
"Oh! Is she fine?" Aisha asked before anyone. She had met her twice in hospital when she had accompanied Liza to meet Mathew.
"Yes. May be false pain ho sakta hai. chotu ke aane ke baad hi pata chalega"
"Oh that's fine. He has a life outside ETF too. Anyways, ACP Archana, welcome to ETF. Hope you like it here" comm. Said with a smile.
"thank you sir, and yes, it's a very good team to work with and hoping forward for great days ahead fill with adrenaline rush" Archana said with a smile and Arjun winked at her discreetly.
"you get that with almost every major case Archana. And Sameer, funds have been released for upgrading the Forensic lab of ETF and also the Technical lab. New upgraded ammunitions are also sanctioned. You have got details in this file" Coelho said handing the files.
"he saw them and handed them to Liza, Shreekant and Aisha, and said-
"tum teeno inn files ko dekho aur koi aur requirements hai to boldo."
"yes sir" they said in unison.
"fine then. I will take your leave team. Jai hind"
"jai hind sir"

"Suniye... aapko lagta hai ki iss baar woo humari baat maanegi?" Aanandi sat next to Daam, fiddling with her saree pallu and with a worried face.
Daamsingh kept his mobile down and turned to her completely.
"Aanandi, aap kehna kya chahti hai?" his face was completely serious.
"aap jaante hai ki hum kis baare mein baat kar rahe hai. hum pari ke liye pareshaan hai. kab tak aise chalega? Sattaees ki hogayi hai wo. Arjun aur sameer ladke hai par...kab tak ji?" tears flew out through mother's eyes.
Daamsingh gathered her within his arms.
"dekho aanandi. Hum jaante hai ki aap pareshaan hai pari ke liye. Bacchi hai wo hamari. Par aap usse aisi koi baat nahin karengi jiss se usse thes pahunche. Aap samajh rahi hai naa?"
"haan par..."
"par warr nahin aanandi. Usse uss zakhm se ubhar ne to dijiye."
"zakhm? (aanandi wiped her tears) kitna waqt lagta hai zakhm bharne mein? Teen saal beet chukka hai ab."
"kuch zakhm bharne mein waqt lagta hai. aap hi to kehti hai naa? koi na koi zaroor aaayega uski zindagi mein jo phir se usse khush karega. Filhaal ke liye aap pari se iss baare mein, ya shaadi ke baare mein koi baat nahin karengi"
"theek hai. aap kehte ho to nahin karungi main"
"ab ki naa aapne meri biwi jaisi baat" he winked at her hoping to lighten her mood.
"aur jab aap mere baahon mein aise rehte ho to..." instantly he was pushed away and aanandi stood two feet away from him.
"dhut!!! Aap bhi naa... kuch to sharam kijiye"
"arre!!! Maine kyaa..." daamsingh trailed when he heard chuckling sound behind them.
Both Mr. and Mrs Rathod turned around and saw his elder daughter and son in law, and his youngest daughter with his grandson chuckling at them.
Daamsingh saw red color rising on his wife's cheeks slowly.
He immediately went and hugged his children close to his heart.
"I missed you Madhu" he said kissing her forehead.
"I missed you too papa" she said. aman bent down to take his blessings.
"kaise hai aap papa? Office mein sab kaisa hai?"
"jeete raho beta. Office mein sab badhiya hai. baba hai naa madad ke liye?"
"arre waah?! Didi aur jiju aaye to mujhe bhool gaye? Pata nahin jab pari di aayengi to main kisi ko nazar bhi aaungi ya nahin?" Khushi pouted and handed Nakul to her dad.
"haan haan. Jaise tu uske aage peeche nahin rehti" aanandi pinched her cheeks.
"aah maa... di hai meri. Haq hai mera unpe"
"kisne naa kaha?"
