Special Squad Office….. Next day Dipika entered Special Squad office to find it in heights of celebration….
When she entered all the officers came to her and wished her for the success on the operation…. Behind the group Neha and Vishal stood smiling at her….
Coming up to them she hugged them good morning and asked….
Dipika: Kya baat hai? Ye celebration kis baat ke liye? ❓
Vishal: Are wah? Just like that pooch liya? Are baba… (Guiding her to the pantry) Kal ke operation ki success ki reaction hai ye…. News nahi dekha kya? Kal humare operation wrap up ke baad control room se information gayi… World wide arrests hue hain… All big shots…. Many in London especially! 😊
Dipika: Hmm…. Breaking news pada tha! Sirf humne thode kuch kiya…. Sabne kaam kiya hai naa?
Neha: (Coming along her side) Haan…. Tab hi Commissioner sir bhi aaye hain…. Everyone…. The whole special team is there in the pantry!
Dipika: Commissioner sir?! ❓
Vishal: Yes… Chalo!
Saying Vishal took her inside the pantry which was crowded with the whole team formed for this sting operation!
Dipika saw that the Commissioner was talking to everyone and congratulating them….
She saw Aryan with him happy and enthusiastic with the success…. After a long time she was seeing him so happy and wished him to be so forever! 😊
Hearing the three come in he turned around and looked at Dipika….
The Commissioner too turned and smiling said….
Commissioner: Hello Dipika!
Dipika: Good Morning sir!
Commissioner: Great job… Everyone has done splendidly well…. International level se appreciations aa rahe hain, humare liye….
Dipika: Of course sir… Ye to hona hi tha… Especially when Aryan and Vishal are leading the operation! ⭐️
Commissioner: Rightly said Dipika…. Okay then… Today I have given you all a off because I know for the past one month you have forgotten your sleeps for this…. From tomorrow you can report back to your normal duties…. (To Vishal) And you too Vishal! 👏
Vishal nodded and the Commissioner left the pantry….
The rest of the team came over to Aryan and Vishal and talked about yesterday's incident while Aryan's eyes rested only on her!
She smiled seeing her friend and …… (The blank again! Where she knew not what to fill! 😳 ) getting praises…. Shotgun, Neha, Ajay and Boxer were also enjoying the attention! Rarely such praises came by for Special Squad team even though they did a splendid job in crime solving!
Just then an officer came over to her and talked excitedly about yesterday's incident…. Accompanying her Dipika went over to the counter to pour herself a glass of juice when she heard one officer tell Aryan and Vishal….
Officer 1: Sir…. Maine suna aapne kal Sandeep ki haddi pasali ek kar di?
Aryan and Vishal immediately looked over at Dipika who glared at them… 😳
Officer 2: He deserved it…. Kitnon ki jaan gayi thi uske karan!
Officer 1: Vo to hai… Haath se rukna nahi chahiye tha, pair, sir sab todna chahiye tha!
Dipika kept the half full glass of juice and bottle back at the counter and left the pantry angrily! 😡
Aryan looked at the door upset while Vishal mumbled….
Vishal: Soch hi raha tha ki madam bhool gayi…. Thanks to him, yaad dila diya…. Ab kya karein?!?!? 😔
Some time later….
Special Squad office came back to normancy after an hour or so when all the officers and well wishers from other departments left for their work….
Finally free from everyone Vishal came hurrying out of the pantry searching for Dipika…. She was not in her cabin…. He searched everywhere and finally came to Neha's place….
Neha's place was already a place of hustle as the whole Special Squad team was there….
The newly wed Zubin had returned back and Haseena had also come to congratulate the team for their success!
Boxer was saying…
Boxer: Mujhse bhi kaha nahi!
Haseena: Abbas aap ko pata to hai ki Vishal sir ne mujh par bharosa kiya hai, to its part of my job to keep silence!
Putting his arms around her shoulder…..
Boxer: Are baba…. I am not complaining…. Mujhe pata hai tumhara job hai… I am not complaining at all! 🤗
Neha: Boxer… Complain karte to bhi kuch nahi hone waala! Tumhara muh to ghar jaake band ho jaata hai…. Haseena ko gussa karne ki ghustaaki tum kar hi nahi sakte!
As they all laughed Vishal reached them…..
Vishal: Haseena ko to phir bhi manana aasaan hai, lekin Dipika ko kaise manaye? ❓
Vishal leant against the table, arms folded and looked at them all questioningly….
Ajay: Kyun kya hua? Ab to theek hi thi…. Andar hans ke baatein bhi kar rahi thi!
Vishal: Haan… Lekin kisi ko ye bardaash nahi hui…. Baaton baaton me kal us Sandeep ke haath todne ki baat aayi aur phir se Vetal ped chad gaya!
Neha: Tum logon ko aisa nahi karna chahiye tha…. Pata hai naa ki is operation ke liye Commissioner bhi maan gaye the, Dipika ko manana hi mushkil ho gaya tha! Phir us Sandeep ke haath kyun toda? 🤔
Vishal: Lo jaise maine toda… Aru se poocho! Dipika par usne haath uthaya aur sir ne uska haath tod diya!
Haseena: (Shocked) Dipika ko maaraa usne?!!? 😲
Boxer: Haan… Haseena… Bataya to tha maine tumhe kal!
Haseena: Aapne to sirf ye bataya ki Dipika se batameezi ki usne, maaraa nahi bataya…. Phir to Aryan ne sahi kiya!
Vishal: Haseena ji… Hum sab yahan jaante hain ki jo kuch bhi Aryan ne kiya theek tha, lekin Dipika to manegi nahi… Kal pray kiya maine ki bhool jaye…. Bhool bhi gayi thi, lekin!
Zubin: Ab Dipika kahan hai? ❓
Vishal: (Grinning 😃 ) Are naya navela dulha bola! (As everyone laughed and Zubin blushed 😳 ) Pata nahi… Poora office chaan maraa! Aryan hai ki apne laptop me ghusa hua jaise kuch hua naa ho…. Ab in dono ko patch up karne hume ghoomna pad raha hai!
As the group smiled Neha said…..
Neha: Dipika aur Shotgun basement gayein hain… Lab ke liye kuch items lane…. Dipika aur Aryan jitna ek doosre ko samajhte hain utna hi door ho rahe hain… Paas aaye to hi naa!
Vishal: Hmm…. Kuch to karna padega?
Zubin: Lekin kaise? ❓
Ajay: Kyun Zubin? In sab se experience le rahe ho kya Purvi ko manane, jab vo gussa hogi?
Ajay and Boxer gave each other high five as Haseena and Neha shook their heads smiling…. 😆
Vishal: Well ek idea to hai!
Haseena: (Puzzled) Kya?
As Vishal explained his plan slowly the confused expression on the team's face turned to one of enthusiasm…. After explaining his plan he extended his hand out palm upwards…. Smiling Haseena kept her hand on his, then Boxer, then Ajay, Neha and Zubin! 😛
