CHAPTER 2
A

At the ETF office:
" Hey Guys!"
" Oh hi Ayesha! Waise tere wala kaha hai?" Shree smiled as he asked
" Mr. Shreekant Sen!" Ayesha flared back
" Arrey Chotu, amake bacha, maa kali re (help me out, it's maa kali) Shree looked at Chotu.
" Aye, Shree chod na, kuch kaam ki baat kar" Chotu said while having his cup of coffee.
"Isko kya hua?" Ayesha asked , momentarily forgetting that she had intended to show Shree how good she was at shooting.
" How do I know Ayesha?" then muttering slowly " tu khud damn it se nain lada rahi hai par damn it ke saare effects to chotu pe aa raha hai, shotti (truly) chotu and kaam?"
"Kya kaha Shree?" Ayesha asked back with the i just heard you look'.
" Kuch nahi maa!" Shree looked back, " Acha Chotu, Ayesha sahi keh rahi hai, kya hua, muh latak kyun gaya, kahi 11.30 ko apni 12.00 to nahi mil gaya?"
"Nahi!" Chotu squealed back, " Voh kya hai maine abhi Rathore sir ko suna hai ke koi crime reporter join kar raha hai... pata nahi yaar hum sab jawaan aur ache khase hai, woh toh bilkul, budhdha, chasma lagaye hua, walking stick types hoga. Arrey Rathore sir was also giving praises ke this crime reporter ne bohot saare cases ka tip bhi diya, even thought uska job nahi hai... ab itna kaam ke liye koi budhdha hoga na!"
At that precise moment the lights went off
" Udi baba! Ayesha dekh na, mujhe lagta hai Chotu sahi hai, dekh uss budhde ke baare main baat kiya aur light chali gayi!" Shree sighed.
Ayesha smirked at these two's bakwaas! " But theek hai, chalo yeh dono hi to jaan hain team ka, shoot light chali gayi, I hope Rathore sir ke paas extra flashlight hain" she said not exactly realising she spoke the last line pretty loud! But when the two monkeys were still quiet she realised something was wrong, one light came back, so that's good, two they were staring at something as if they never saw before.
"Haila" Chotu exclaimed softly
" Udi baba! Maa Parvati." Shree whispered to the beauty in fornt of him.
Brown black shiny hair flying through which came dancing around till her waist, big doe shaped eyes, filled with curiosity and amusement, a gracious smile which can take breaths away, wearing a simple white top with a dash of color- a red scarf, her small pretty hand filled with bangles of all possible shapes and colors, but what stood out was her warm aura, aura of positivity and happiness, innocence yet mischievous, a smile will come up by just looking at her.
Ayesha felt that a gentle breeze had come into the team.
However humare bechare Choree ko toh laga ki hurricane aur typhoon ki maa aa gayi ho!
As Sakshi walked in with a confident gait, she was taken aback by the shocked faces of one cute curly haired guy who wore big spectacles yet had a slight taste for fashion
" Geek... par cute hai!"
and the other one whom she temporarily named as baby hulk!'
then she looked at the lady giving glares to the other two to come out of the trance... she had an elegant beauty about herself... agar paas se dekhe jaaye to she has a beautiful dusky appearance with soft curls around her hair, an athletic body, beautiful eyes holding a lot of depth and a small smile adorning her gorgeous face.
" Wah! Agar yeh police officer hai to yeh to criminals ke aise hi band bajaaye gi! But yeh inspite of looks to kill... I think she is one tough girl"
Ayesha, thoroughly embarrassed by her peers immediately shook hands with the girl in front, " Hi I am Ayesha Kapoor!"
" Hi, main hu Sakshi , Sakshi Anand, you know the budhdhi crime reporter! Ab main ETF ki hissa hoon!" Ayesha smiled to that comment, taking an instant liking to Sakshi.
And fortunately Chotu snapped out with a red face, poking Shree to react!
" Heh.. main koun hoo? Oh yeh Chotu hai"
" Chotu, really?" she exclaimed as she looked at the wwe sized player in front of her.
" Nahi pura naam Chandrakant Patil, pyaar se hum Chotu bulaate hain" said Shree with a sheepish smile " aur main hoon..."
" Specky Sen! Technical expert and gadget freak, basically he is the IT spine of our entire team" " And I am Liza D'cruz, forensic expert" Chriped Liza with a small wink and a smile.
"Jaani Dushman!" Shree just gave his glares to Liza.
Sakshi was immediately taken in by the relation the two had, akhir time pass ke thori na reporter hain! Inspecting Liza as a beautiful gothic chic accidently stuck in 21st century, Sakshi sure liked the hate love relation the two had! "Hmm in dono ke beech kuch toh pak raha hai... though ab shayad khana jal gaya hai!"
" Hi, I am Sakshi Anand! Toh poori team yaha hai kya?" Sakshi enquired.
" Nahi do aur log hai, Rathore sir aur Arjun sir" Ayesha replied.
" Arjun, you mean the ACP Arjun Suryakant Rawte! Wow, bohot kuch sunna hai unke baare main, unke cabin kaha hai?" Sakshi asked.
" Wah Sakshi day one mai marna chahti hain... let me see kya welcome Arjun Sir tumko denge!" Shree thought.
" Kuch kaha tumne?" Sakshi asked
"No Sakshi...I'll lead you to Arjun sir's office" Shree replied.
While walking towards office Sakshi thought about the people she just met... and her sharp eyes didn't miss Ayesha's little smile at the mention of Rathore sir "Wah, yaha to shayad sab ka booking hai!" she smiled as she walked straight into his cabin.
" Wah re Sakshi, bina knocking andar chali gayi... chal... agar zinda ho toh humse mil lena... arrey udhar Mrs. Sameer Kapoor... matlab Rathore sir.. good Sakshi bach jayegi!"
Shree quipped to turn back and see a fuming Ayesha behind him...
"Kuch kaha Shree..."
" Kuch nahi Ayesha, main to hazaar baatien kehta hoon, surprising yeh hai ke tumhe sirf kuch baatein hi sunai deti hai!" before Ayesha could react Shree ran away for "some" computer programming left!
" Kya baat hain Ayesha, aaj tum kaafi naaraz lag rahi hain.." Sameer asked
" Woh kuch nahi sir, bas kabhi kabar Shree aur Chotu ka sar phodne ka iraada hai!" Ayesha smiled
"Acha woh kyun? Aisa kya kehte hai dono?" Sameer showed a genuine concern.
" Arrey sir, aisa kuch nahi... bas woh, Sakshi?" Ayesha fumbled
"Kya hua Sakshi ko?" Sameer asked
" Sir mujhe lagta hain ki Arjun sir ne uski class lena shuru kar diya hai, aap kuch kijiye warna.." Ayesha looked through the glass wall of Arjun's cabin
" Ayesha don't worry, main uss ke liye hi Rawte ke cabin me jaa raha tha! Aur haan, baad main bataana zaroor ke woh dono kya keh rahe the, bye" Sameer said and walked inside Arjun's cabin.
