With a stern, not too likeable expression Aryan walked towards the discussion table… 😔
The whole of the office resounded with Vishal's and Neha's laughter… At the head of the table, Vishal was sitting on the table and Neha beside him, down on a chair…They just gave each other a high five when Aryan came and stood behind them…. Even then both of them didn't notice him amidst the laughter… After few seconds Neha looked up and seeing Aryan stopped laughing and indicated to Vishal….
Vishal stopped laughing too and jumping down from the table, turned around…. Smiling he went up to Aryan and hugging him asked in his usual jovial voice…. 😃
Vishal: Hey buddy boy… How are you?
Aryan just had a stern expression and parting from Vishal asked…
Aryan: Tu yahan kya kar raha hai?
Vishal acted as if been shocked and said with mock anger……
Vishal: TU!?!?!? TU!!!?!!? 😲 Hello!!!!!!!!!!! Suno sahib….. (Counting on his fingers) Pehli baat, main tumse poora ka pooooora ek saal bada hoon…. Second ek prestigious firm me kaam karta hoon…. In a teeny weeny bit higher post…. Third rishta humara cousin ka hai…. Is naate… Aap naa sahi, tum to zaroor kehenaa chahiye…. Haaaaan!
Aryan rolled his eyes at Vishal's nautanki while Neha tried controlling her laughter….
Aryan: (Repeating louder and sterner than before) TU yahan kya kar raha hai?
Vishal: (Shaking his head) Tum to kabhi sudharogi hi nahi…. As for why I am here? Kyun nahi aa sakta? Likha hai, ki Vishal Malhotra, The Great, for your reference… Yahan nahi aa sakta?⭐️
Aryan: (Making a face but controlling at the same time) Haan…… Nahi aa sakta… Office me is tarah kaam ko disturb karna…. (At Neha) What is this Neha? Office hai.... Ghar ya pantry nahi ki is tarah….
Neha looked at him helpless trying to justify herself, but Vishal turned back and winking at her indicated her to let him handle it… So she let it be…
Vishal: Hey Aru…. Tera kya jaata hai? Neha ke saath hasi mazaak ki, Ajay ko gussa hona chahiye, tum kyun itna bhadak rahe ho?
Aryan: (Sternly) Haann…. Vo bhi tumne kiya naa… Pichle hafte in dono (Mentioning Ajay and Neha) ki ladayi hote hote reh gayi…
Vishal: (Defending himself) Dekh Aru…. Vo ladayi nahi thi….. Exam thi… Test thi in dono ke liye….. Ab in dono ki bees din me shaadi hone waali hai… So it was a small test ki dono ek doosre par kitna bharosa rakhte hain… Isliye poorani chedkhaani ki, bas!
Aryan: Hmm… Tumhari is chedkhaani ke karan unki shaadi par aafat aa sakti thi! Ajay ki flirting ko Neha ko yaad dilake aur use bhi fasaya…
Vishal: Ab Aru you are blaming me unnecessarily…. Maine kuch nahi kiya…. Bas exam rakhi, to dono pass hue naa… Hue naa pass? Aur phir… Vo dono complaint nahi kar rahe… (Looking back at Neha and back at Aryan) Lekin tum itna bhadak rahe ho…. Jaise maine Dipika ke saath hasi mazaak ki? Tum dono ki test li?!
Aryan looked at him wide eyed stunned for a moment while Neha suprresed her smile, because she knew that one thing that would always shut Aryan was mentioining of Dipika….
Aryan: (Stammering) A… Ab… Ab isme Dipika kahan se aayi? Vo yahan hai bhi nahi…☺️
Vishal: (Teasing) To… Ab samjha ki tum itna kyun bhadak raha hai… Vo yahan nahi hai isliye! Kyun?
Aryan looked around trying not to show his embarssament or say blushing on the mention of Dipika… But taking a deep breath he continued….
Aryan: Vi… Vishal…. Is tarah office timings me aake mere staffs (Glancing at Neha who hung her head) ke saath baatein karna… Unko kaam karne se rokna is out of rules and I will not tolerate it!
Vishal: RULES!?!?!? (Shocked again😲) Aru.… Tumhe kab se rules ki chinta hone lagi… Dipika ka asar hai shayad!? Lekin vo to aaj kal chutti me hai!
Aryan: Tum Vishal! Baat baat pe Dipika ko kyun kheenchte ho? Tum… (Leaving matter) Tujhse baatein karne baitha to mera kaam bhi nahi hoga…. Tum.... (To Neha) Neha…. Get back to work…. Kal jo case khatam hua, uske reports laana…. We'll check it out and sign off…. Poorane reports bhi check karna ki koi pending naa ho….
Neha smiled, her best trying to suppress her laughter and went over to her place to get the reports….😆😉
Vishal: Confirmed… Tumpar zaroor Dipika ka bhooth savaar hai ki rules, paper work ki baatein kar raha hai…. Waise aaj kal to vo chutti par hai…. (Thinking) Phir?!!?!? (Getting the point) Lagta hai ussse milte ho…. Isliye uski hawa lagi hai… Rules ke bete ban rahe ho! Kyun? Theek kaha naa Aryan Khanna!?
Aryan looked at Vishal who was smiling mysteriously…. He tried his best to avoid looking embarrassed…. Without any reason he adjusted his coat and cuff links and Vishal enjoyed seeing him in a fix…. Then in a loud and stern voice….
Aryan: (Irritated) Mujhe ek baat bata… Tumhe apne office me koi bhi kaam nahi hai kya ki jab dekho yahan aake tapak jaata hai!?😳
Vishal: Lo! Jaise main bina kaam ke ghoom raha hoon… Lekin vo bhi ek taraf se theek hi hai…. Pichle kuch maheenon me tum log, Special Squad waalon ne Police Society me itnaaaaaaaaa (Imitating the big action) naam, vo bhi achcha naam kamaya hai ki koi bhi difficult case… Shakal se bhi difficult lage to you guys are pulled in…. Apni kaabiliyat aap logon ne prove ki hai, tu isme meri kya galti hai?
Aryan: (Puzzled) Ek minute! Ab iska aur tumhara yahan hone ka kya sambhand?
Vishal: (Walking over to the other end of the table) Bina sambhand ke Vishal Malhotra kaheen nahi aata Aryan Khanna…. Ab tak tumhe vo pata hoga…
Aryan just looked at him wondering what Vishal was getting at, because he knew he was serious now…
Aryan: Vishal…. Can we get to the matter?
Just then Neha returned with a file and the day's newspaper… She handed over the file and newspaper to Aryan….. Surprised Aryan looked at the things in his hand and at Vishal….
Sensing someone behind him he turned to see that Ajay, Boxer, Zubin were coming over to the discussion table… From the lab Shotgun also joined them….
Aryan: Is something happening here which I am not aware of??
Vishal: Not so exactly Aryan agar tumne aaj ka newspaper pada hota to…
Aryan: (Glancing at the paper in his hand) Haan pada hai…. To?❓
Vishal: Pada hai to phir bhi aise sawaal kar rahe ho Aryan? Headlines pata to hai naa?
Aryan: (Understanding) Hmm… Minister Prakashraj ko kal raat blast kar diya gaya tha…. Ye case to aap CBI log hi handle kar rahe ho….. Right?
Vishal: Smart lad Aru… Smart lad…. Ab ye case hum handle karenge!
Aryan: (Puzzled) Haan… Tum log hi to handle kar rahe ho…. You CBI guys....
Vishal: Aryan… Maine (Indicating) hum kaha…. Maane…. (Showing the whole group and himself) Hum… We… Special Squad!
Except Aryan others exclaimed…. "WHAT!?!?!?" 😲
