Receptionist: yes sir...how can I help you?
Daya:Maam I just want to talk to you about the gym
Receptionist: yeah..please sit down
Daya: Thanks...
Now Daya opened something from his bag...& gave it to the receptionst--maam , this is my resume...maine suna ke yaha pe.......ek gym instructor ki zarurat hain......to main...
Receptionist: ha lekin experince ka zarurat hain..barna...
Daya interrupted her though very politely---Maam..experience hain mera....Mumbai me main..kuchh din ke liye....do teen gym me...personal trainer ka kaam kiya hain....
The receptionsit was reading the resume though not very thoroughly & sometimes she was squinting her eyes towards Daya....& everytime Daya was cowering his head to be modest......
Receptionist now a bit curtly asked him--kaunsa celebrity ko train kiya?
Daya was confused at first but then he answered---dekhiye....ek successful trainer hone ke liye...zaruri hain kya ke .....celebrity ko train karna hoga....his voice was a bit rough...
Now the receptionist said with a bit smile-- nehi sir, aap Mumbai se aye hain...isliye....puchh rahi thi...by the way...sir..aapko thora wait karna parega...Manager se baat kar lete hain...
Daya smiled again very politely....& the lady called someone inside & talked ....for sometime...after that she told him--sir aapko Manager ke sath milna hoga....manager ke room me chale jaiye....
Daya went to the manager's room with his resume...& now the manager asked him----aiye......please be seated
Daya sat..& gave his resume to the manager.....while manager was going through his resume..Daya was talking about himself---sir..main...puri responsibility or care se kaam karunga....
manager now sighed--hmmmm.....Rohit Shetty...from Mumbai.......khaffi achchha resume hain aapka.....
Daya again cowered his head....
Manager: waise....main aapko ek hi baat puchhna chahta hun........
Daya asked very modestly--ha sir puchhiye....
Manager: aap Mumbai se chale kyu aye?...Mumbai is such a big city..the facilities & range is wide....so aap jaise ek robust young man....I mean....as far as money & facilities are concerned....
Now Daya interrupted him & answered with a very calm but steady voice---sir,har kisi ke zindegi me ..money sabse zada important nehi hota hain....kuchh aur bhi responsibilities hote hain hamara....
Manager frowned & asked --jaise???
Daya now smiled lightly & with an uneasyness & said--sir..mera chachaji ka tabiyat ..kuchh thik nehi hain...doctors ne kaha hain...Mumbai ke pradushan, dhul se unhe dur rehne ke liye...so...
The manager was a bit ashamed & now without asking him any more question he told--thik hain...to aaj se aap humara naye instructor.....dekhiye..hamara yaha pe...sirf dus instructor hain....aur...clients zada...so....kabhi bhi aapko duty dena par sakte hain.....
Daya said modestly--okay sir...
Manager: philhal aap ko naye clients ko tackle karna parega..thik hain..baad me aapka kaam dekh ke...hum age barenge..
Daya:Okay sir...
Daya stood up.....& shook hands with manager....
Manager: aur ha...remuneration ke bareme ...aap ko kya expectation hain?
Daya smiled lightly & answered---as per the norms & rules of gym whatever you think is appropriate for me....I only expect that...
Manager again frowned & smirked & said--aap kaffi intelligent hain...I hope you would remain with us..for a long time....good luck
Daya again smiled & went out of the gym....
[Mumbai] [11.A.M] [Bureau]
& ACP now entered with his noisy romping steps..everyone greeted him--Good morning sir....
ACP said in hurry--Good morning...Abhijeet, mere cabin me aao.....
Abhijeet said obediently--yes sir...
As he entered into the cabin....ACP just stormed out---ye suresh aur Reema tumhare kaun lagte hain?
Abhijeet cringed down & he was just preparing to tell everything about them...but...before that ACP again shouted out---bolo...kaun lagte hain woh log jo tumhare birthday party pe tum unlogo ko invite kiya????????
Abhijeet was confused but was continuously trying to overcome his nervousness & said---sir...suresh mera collge ka dost hain....par Reema.....
ACP: ha Ree maaaaaaaa!!!!!!!....usdin bheer bhar me maine use thik tarike se dekha nehi.....par woh...ek number ka cheat hain..dhokebaaz....logo ko dhoka dekar paisa kamati hain woh.....kayi baar pakre gaye..lekin enough evidence ki kami ke wajase chhut gayi.....woh tumhare dost ke sath kya kar rahi thi?
Abhijeet: sir,ye baat mujhe bhi maloom nehi tha...sir..maine socha tha Reema Suresh ka wife hain....lekin....
ACP: lekin aisa nehi hain...haina??????
Abhijeet again cringed down & answered---ha sir....aur sir...woh hi.....sir...Pritha ko...Daya ke ghar me...bheji thi...taki....
ACP again yelled out---wah!!! fantastic!!!!!! tum log marvao ge kya mujhe???? is case ki bareme maine sirf tum logo ko hi bataya..aur woh log..tum logo ki andar baithke..achchhi tarike se...apna kaam kiya ja raha hain....
Abhijeet remained silent in guilt & shame....
but ACP continued--aur to aur...ye baat inform karne ki bhi zarurat nehi samjha tumne??? Reema ko kaise tum sab ki bareme itna kuchh maloom hain?
Abhijeet now said in feeble voice--sir..maine is liye Reema ko kuchh bhi nehi kiya...taki unlogo ko ye shak na ho jaye...ke hume uski aasliyaat pata chal gaya hain....
ACP now thought something deeply though his face was still twitched in irritation ......& then ordered him---nazar rakho un dono pe....mujhe un dono ka har din ka activites ka every details chaiye....samjhe???
Abhijeet: yes sir...
ACP: aur ha...Rohit ko phone karo.....samjhe? dekhte hain..ke woh saab kitna dur tak ja paye hain....
Abhijeet got surprised a bit ..but he didn't dare to ask ACP anyhting....but ACP was sharp enough to understand that....--kya huya..lagao phone...
Abhijeet again feebly asked --ssir...Rohit...matlab......Daya..
ACP again shrieked out--Abhijeet Rohit matlab Rohit..samjhe...? Inspector Daya chhutti me hain ye tumhe kitni baar kehna paregaaaa?
Just at that moment Vivek entered ...with a case file..& stared upon ACP..
ACP: ha Vivek...kya huya?
Vivek: ssir....ye..file..taiyar hain....bas...aapka..ek..sign chaiye..
ACP told him very roughly---table pe rakh do...main..parke sign kar dunga.....
now Vivek asked --ssir...Daya sir...chhutti pe...chala gaya hain...?
Abhijeet didn't answer...but ACP said--curtly--ha...
Vivek again asked--ssir..unka...tabiyet to thik haina???parso bhi to....office..me aye the.....hume...to.kuchh....nehi.....
Now ACP reddened his eyes & said---kyu? tumlogo ko puchhke chhutti lena parega useeeeeeeee?
Vivek was hurt...& with wrinkled face he said--nehi sirr..I'm sorry....
ACP: jao...jake kaam thik tarike se karo.....abhi tak Mrs.Malhotra murder case ka koyi suraha nehi huya......detective agency ka pata chala?
Vivek answered ruefully--yes sir...lekin..waha..bhi detective...Bhavesh Joshi ka murder ho gaya hain...
ACP just startled & said--kya!!!..ek ke baad ek murder hote ja rahe hain....aur..tum log....he snarled in anger....
Vivek once looked at Abhijeet but Abhijeet too was helpless infront of ACP's anraged rave....he informed ACP--ssir...lash forensic me hain...
ACP again snarled & ordered--ha to jao....forensic se report lao...
Vivek said--yes ssir..very obediently & headed towards forensic...
Vivek came infront of Tarika & asked--Dr.Tarika...
Tarika saw them & said--Dr.Salunkhe lunch pe gaye hain....& she came near the detective's dead body to tell them about it...but before that Vivek asked her--Daya sir chhutti par hain...unka tabiyet to thik haina?????
Tarika turned her face towards Vivek.....& then turned back....she didn't answer him.....Vivek glanced over freddie....& now freddie whispered--ye vivek...shayad ...dono...ki..beech me ...jhagra huya hain....anman..yaar...
Vivek blinked at Freddie to make him stop......but Freddie was unstoppable..he asked her ---jhagra chal raha hain? Tarika's face became stern....but she started to tell--iska maut 0.22 calibre ki goli se huya hain......aur kareeb kareeb kal raat aat baje se lekar gyara ki beech me huya hain......
Freddie burst into a chortle & again tried to madden---pehla pehla anman....bohooooooooooot khubsurat hote hain...vivek was trying to stop him desperately..but freddie continued---mujhe yaad hain....jab....main....mera wife ki sath pehli baar jhagra kiya tha...tab...
now Tarika shouted--Fredrie...
Freddie was unperturbed---haaa..sach.....aap..dekhenge....jab gussa utar jayega....tab Daya sir....aapko...pyaaaaaaaaar..se...
Tarika now gave a loud blow on the table & shouted---Fredriee.....
Freddie got into the reality...& on the verge of crying infront of Tarika's anger..
Tarika now turned towards vivek & asked him roughly--tum log yaha pe murder ke bareme jankaari ke liye aye ho..ya pher.....
Vivek interrupted being ashamed & said--sorry Dr.Tarika..Freddie sir ke bato se aap bura mat man na...ha....aap.bataiye......jo..kuchh bhi...keh rahe the....
Tarika was still panting heavily ...but soon she controlled herself....& said--ha...aur...iska nakhun me...khun bhi mile hain....
Vivek: kayi ye khoon khooni ka to hain nehi?
Tarika told Vivek--aap log ek kaam kijiye...ja kar...pure Malhotra khandan ki sare members ka aur jitne rishtedaar, freinds is case me jura huya hain..unlogo ka....blood samples leke aiye....match karne ki koshish kar rahi hu...dekhte hain....milta hain ya nehi....
Vivek nodded his face & went out from forensic..but Freddie....told before going out---Daya sir ko hum bohoooot miss kar rahey hain....jaldi se use chhutti se wapas ane ke liye ......Tarika glanced at Freddie & freddie just ran out of forensic.......
Tarika now kept musing about the words of Freddie & thought--kya batau use? mujhe khud ..hi...kya maloom hain...kab ayega woh....kya kya karna par raha hain...waha par...usko...aur...eventually her eyes went on the body of Detective....& she saw....it..as.if....it's....Daya..
--naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.......she wailed out in the mixture of fear & pain.......she was feeling totally dizzy & wasn't being able to keep her balance......everything was dangling infront of her........Dr.salunkhe....just rushed to her...& clenched her within his arms & yelled--Dr.Tarika......Tarikaaa....kya huya tumhee? Oh my God.....
