Recap: SamJun moment, Team moments, ETF past.

He feels Sameer and Coelho are hiding something from him.
______________________________________
"Toh kya faisla hai tumhara Arjun?" Coelho asks hoping that Arjun agrees to join back. Even the team looks at him with hopeful eyes.

"Sir aapne kaha ki hum independent hokar kaam karenge aur hume sirf aapko jawaab dena padega. Koi external pressure aur influence ke hum mohtaaj nahin hai. Toh thik hai main ETF join karunga." Arjun states his decision and all are very happy.

"I knew you would take this decision. I am proud of you." Coelho says happily.

He now turns towards Rathode. Rathode is happy about this decision taken by Arjun. "Toh tumhara kya khayal hai?" Coelho asks rubbing his palms.

"Sir mera decision final hai. Main waapas join nahin kar sakta. Aapne yeh waada pehle bhi kiya tha ki external pressure nahin hoga lekin iss department ne aisa hone nahin diya. So I can't trust the department anymore" Rathode explains about the reason behind his decision.

"Lekin Sam tumhe Coelho sir par toh vishwas hai na. Aur agar home ministry ke orders hai toh koi problem nahin hoga." Arjun says in order to change Sam's decision.

"Haan Rathode maine kaha na you are an independent organisation. Jo bhi sahi lage tumhe tum woh kar sakte ho. And you are answerable only to me. Higher authorities ko main sambhal lunga." saying so Coelho assures him.

"Lekin sir mujhse nahin hoga, phirse chief ki post sambhalna mere bas ki baat nahin hai. Jo uss post ke kaabil hai usse hona chahiye wahan. Sir I won't change my decision." Sameer states his decision in a firm manner.

Coelho scratches his head and gives a 'I knew it' expression. The team is shocked. Did Sameer just say he doesn't deserve to be the chief? Did he say he is not worth it? They still couldn't believe Sameer's statement. Arjun too was shocked. He never felt Sam would talk like this.

Coelho knew that Sameer is now in a state of turmoil but won't accept it. And to make him realize his worth he has to get back. Because if someone could build up ETF again after Coelho and Raghu left, it was only Sameer Dhamsingh Rathode.

"Thik hai Sameer agar tumhara yahi faisla hai toh main kuch nahin bolunga" Coelho replies. Arjun looks at Coelho with hope that only he can get his Rathode back in ETF office.

Coelho pauses and then continues "Arjun tum jaante ho pichle 8-9 saal se.." Sameer realizes where Coelho is heading and cuts him off

"Haan Arjun 8-9 saal se sab kuch sambhalke thak chuka hu main. Lekin ab main yeh soch raha hun ki phirse tum logon ka chief ban hi jaata hun. Problem hi nahin hogi. Kya pata tumhara gussa dekh kar naya chief next day hi resign kar de" and Sameer ends this with a nervous smile.

The team gets happy that Sameer is going to re-join. They are again going to work as a team. They are again going to get scolded by Rawate and Rathode.  And again going to complain about them in private. The old days are going to come back.

Arjun is shocked at the sudden change is Rathode's decision. That too without Coelho persuading much. But he shakes it off and gives a wide grin to Sameer. Sameer also smiles back at him. All sit for lunch and finish it. Coelho also joins them.

"Waah Rathode!! Aaj bhi tumhare haath ke khaana mein utna hi swaad hai." Coelho appreciates him and Rathode passes a fake smile.

Coelho notices it but doesn't mind as he very well knows why Rathode is angry with him.

While having lunch Arjun says "Waise jisne lead di thi Sikandar ke baare mein uss se milna hai mujhe. Apni jaan ko khatre mein daalkar dhunda hai usne."

Sameer stops having food and even Coelho. They both look at each other "Ab kya bole?" Coelho asks.

"Arjun mujhe bhi nahin pata lead kisne collect ki hai. Bas mere Delhi ke cabin mein rakha tha kissine." Sameer answers.

"Really?" Coelho asks. The tone in which he asked was normal for everyone but not for Rathode. For Rathode it was sarcastically asked.

"Really!" Sameer answers with frustration clearly visible to Coelho and Arjun. But Arjun refrains from digging deeper.

All then have their lunch. Sameer's and Coelho's talk is still bothering Arjun. He feels that he has missed out something, but what? He doesn't know.

After lunch Sameer treats all of them with icecream. All sit in the drawing room and eat it. Sameer finds this as a perfect opportunity to give them a news.

"Listen everyone!" Sameer orders. All just look at him. He adds "Jaise ki Coelho sir ne kaha 25th January ko you all will be joining ETF. Toh maine yeh decide kiya hai ki for one month you will be taking training under the best from respective fields."

"Sir phirse aapke under training?" Chotu asks feeling a bit happy thinking that he will once again start from the beginning. Training from Sameer was very annoying but was the best. They hated it but it improved them.

"Chotu maine respective fields mein best kaha. Average nahin" Sameer answers in a serious tone.

All just stop eating icecream and look at him. Did he just call himself average? What just happened? If there was no team present Arjun and Coelho would have taken his class but now since all are there they are quiet.

"Sameer tumhare under training lene mein kya dikkat hai?" Sakshi asks quite puzzled with his previous statement.

"Haan Rathode sir aapki training bohot strict thi lekin best thi. Toh hum aapke under kyun nahin le sakte." Shree says with an equal sense of confusion. What on earth is going on in Rathode's mind?

'Haan sir aap best the training dene main. Aapki training best hoti thi. Jaise Arjun sir best cop hai waise aap bhi. Lekin khauf khauf hai." Chotu says without realising about his last statement. Arjun and Sameer first look at each other and then at Chotu.

Coelho is quietly eating his icecream. And the rest are glaring at Chotu for his slip of tongue. Chotu realizes and says "Sir mera matlab cop tha khauf galti se muh se nikal gaya. Mera matlab woh nahin tha." with a nervous smile.

"Hmm." Both Sameer and Arjun plaster their smile with a stern expression.

Rathode tells everyone under whom they are taking training and from when will they join. "Toh tum log Monday se join karoge. Maine un sab se baat karli hai and they are ready to train you. Shaam ke 6:00 baje training khatam hogi aur uske baad main tum sab ko pick karunga aur Dr. Grewal ke paas le jaaunga. Phir ghar chod dunga. Is it clear?" Rathode orders everyone about their tasks to be performed.

The team listens to it and smiles as they missed it. At last they heard instructions from Sameer. Seeing them smile Arjun asks in a confused and stern tone "Muskura kyun rahe ho?"

"Kuch nahin sir bas 6 saal pehle ki baatein yaad aa gayi." Shree says with eyes moist and happy voice.

"Haan. Matlab Sameer tum abhi tak nahin badle." Sakshi says giving an impressed look to Sameer. Ayesha smiles at Sakshi's statement. All agree to it, even Arjun.

"Ho gaya?" Sameer asks.

All smile. Coelho observes all this and smiles. "Sir humaari yaad aa gayi?" Arjun asks giving Coelho a naughty smile.

"Haan. Waise yeh log toh behtar hai. Tum log toh.." Coelho gets cut by Sameer "Chodiye na sir Arjun ke kisse sunnke yeh log sadme mein pahunch jaayenge." Sameer tries to manage the situation.

If the team ever comes to know about Arjun and his fun-loving attitude all are going to get a 440 Volt shock.

Coelho smiles and stops further description. Arjun heaves a sigh of relief and Sameer shakes his head while smiling.

The team looks very confused. Coelho observes this and says "Sab kuch apne time aane pe pata chal jaayega."

The juniors smile at this.

Arjun then says "Waise Rathode ke baare mein kuch interesting hai nahin. Woh boring tha, hai aur rahega."

To which Sameer continues "Aur Rawate pehle bhi musibat khadi karta tha, ETF mein bhi karta tha aur aage bhi karta rahega" saying so he shoots a glare at Arjun.

Coelho and the team looks up towards the angels for help.

"Kehna kya chahte ho Rathode?" Arjun asks.

"Wahi jo tum samjhe Rawate. Itna mushkil bhi nahin tha." Sameer replies casually.

"Rathode!" Arjun glares at him.

"Rawate!" Sameer also doesn't hold back.

Coelho interrupts "Rathode tumne mujhse training li hai aur Arjun tumne Raghu se, yeh baat main jaanta hun. Lekin prove karne ki kya zaroorat hai? Aur kya hai yeh Rawate Rathode?"

"Sorry sir" both reply in unison and smile at each other. They too remember their good old days.

Team mentally thanks Coelho sir for being there and saving the situation. All sit back comfortably. Arjun and Sam forget about their fight and sit down.

Rathode then realizes that everyone should go home and hence orders Shree to drive safely back home. All bid goodbye and leave. Coelho feels like talking to Sameer regarding his "average" remark but then Sameer reminds him of his meeting. He too bids both his officers good-bye and leaves.

Now Arjun and Sameer are left alone in the same house. Poor Sam!!

"Sam tu aur Coelho sir mujhse kuch chupa rahe hai kya?" asks Arjun raising his eyebrows.

"Nahin toh! Aisa kyun laga tujhe?" chuckles sam

"Nahin bas aise hi. Mujhe laga jaise ki kuch toh chuth raha hai!"

"Yeh tere har baar ka hai. Kuch nahin chuth raha hai Rawate." Sam assures him.

"Hmmm." Arjun stops thinking further as he remembers about the 'average' remark which Sameer passed "Aur kya tha best se training waali baat?" Arjun glares at him and asks.

"Rawate woh log bohot hi experienced hai apni apni field mein. Toh best hi hue na?" Sameer answers getting little irritated.

"Lekin tu bhi toh training de sakta tha na?" Arjun enquires.

"Yaar Arjun mere dimaag mein jo thik laga maine woh kiya. Tu zyaada sawaal mat puch ab. Unn sab ki details deta hun main tumhe." Sameer says in irritation.

Arjun also thinks that he is thinking a lot and hence doesn't question further "Hmm.."

Sameer smiles at him and he too acknowledges it with a wide smile. They then carry on with remaining work.
Arjun then watches news on TV and Sameer goes to his Study room to read books.

*In the Car*
None of them are talking they are just looking into space thinking something. Other than Shree who is driving and thinking. They all feel something is wrong and want to share it with each other, but they are not sure. The drive turns too quiet and they reach home.

At home too they all are pretty much quiet. Shivani Ajay and Hazel realize something is wrong and it has nothing to do with the trauma because suddenly, even Shree is lost or in deep thinking. They feel that all are back in their cop mode and give a smile to each other and leave. They are relieved that at last things are turning normal.

All sit in their room quietly without talking much. Sakshi then thinks aloud "Aaj sab kuch bohot Ajeeb tha."

To which all unknowingly reply "Haan".

They all look at each other in shock and they realise that all felt the same way.

"Haan Rathode sir aur Coelho sir kuch toh chupa rahe hai Arjun sir se lekin kya?" Ayesha quizzes herself and everyone.

"Aur Rathode sir ki 'average' waali baat kuch samajh nahin aaya. Shree tumhe?" Chotu looks at Shree.

"Aree tujhe kya mujhe bhi samaj nahin aaya yeh Rathode sir ne kyun apne aap ko average kaha?" Shree says ruffling his hair.

"Haan na Shree. Best hai woh phir pata nahin kyun apne aap ko.." Liza also didn't like Rathode's comment.

"Haan yaar yeh do cheezein bohot Ajeeb thi. Sameer ka khud ko average bulana aur.." Sakshi says but gets cut by Ayesha

"Rathode sir ko Sikandar ki file table par milna. Jitna main Sikandar ko jaanti hun woh itna shaatir hai na ki uske baare mein sab pata lagane mein bohot time lagta hai." Ayesha goes on.

"Kahin Rathode sir??" Shree realizes something and looks at his team.

"Sameer.." Sakshi calls his name out in shock

"Rathode sirr..." and so does the team

All look at each other for a minute and then Sakshi says "Main usse call lagati hun" and dials his number. She keeps the phone on speaker.
