"ARE YARR AB MAI JAA RAHI HU GHAR...LIFE IS SO BORING YA ISHI !!"

"Ab kya hua Purvi?"

"Kya hua kya kya hua? Yaha pe apni gheese hum aur mission pe seniors ko bhejta hai wo buddha ACP."

"Oooooo isliye tu chidhi hai. Theek haina..wo senior hai kyuki unhone kuch kiya hai life me. Hum nahi kar paye aisa kuch."

"Mauka mile to karenge na Ishi. Peechle 2 saal me kitne hi cases diye hai Pradyuman ne hame? Mujhe 2 independent case aur tujhe 5. Usme bhi wo CID ka Khali aur Dr.Tarika ki puch beechme aa jate hai."

"Wo sabse jyada senior hai Purvi. Isliye."

"O mahanta ki murat itni samajhdaar mat ban."

"Kya samajhdaar mat ban? Tujhe bhi pata hai na ki logo ko chance nahi milta. Hume CID me kaam karne ka mauka mila hai to let's be happy about it na ?"

"GHANTA!"

"Sssh! Itni jorr se mat chilla ACP sir sun lege"

"To sunne de na. Mai kisi ke baap se nahi darti."

"This should not be the way a CID officer is supposed to talk Insp.Purvi ji" A voice from back interrupted the conversation.

The girls turned to see their senior officer standing behind them.

Ishi - S..s.ssorry Sir.

"Oh Cmon Insp.Ishika. Insp.Purvi ji aise baat kar rahi hai aap kyu Sorry bol rahe ho?"

Ishika - Sorry Sir.

"Phir se?"

Ishika- S..

"Ssh"

Ishika nodded.

"To Insp.Purvi ji..mai kaha tha? Haan..aap aise baatein kyu rahi thi? Aakhir mere Dad ne aise kya hi kar diya jo aap apne aap pe kaabu nahi kar paa rahi hai?"

Purvi looked at him angrily.

Purvi- Ye aapko bhi pata hai SENIOR Insp.Kavin ki aapke Dad ya humare ACP ne kya kiya hai. Humesha wo female officers aur juniors ke saath partiality karte hai. Hume na to important missions pe bhejte hai aur na hi independent missions dete hai. Abhijeet aur Daya ko humesh..

Kavin- Sir

Purvi - Kya?

Kavin - Abhijeet SIR aur Daya SIR

Purvi - Whatever

Kavin looked at her - Hm?

Purvi rolled her eyes. - Fiiiiineeeee! Abhijeet sir aur Daya sir ko humesha sab kuch share karte hai. Agar itni partiality ho rahi hai juniors aur women ke saath CID me to hum bahar kya expect karenge logo se? Equality kaha hai CID me? Aur jab tak ACP SIR apni seat pe hai ye hota rahega.

Kavin smiled - 'Be the change you want to see'

Purvi looked at him confusingly.

Kavin - Matlab..pehli baat to mujhe aisa nahi lagta ki Dad partiality karte hai. I mean maine bachpan se CID officers ko dekha hai. I still remember Tasha, Kajal,Dr.Diksha, Tulika bahot si female officers thi jinhe Dad ne kayi khatarnak missions pe bheja tha..Wo bhi AKELE. Aur kisi ko kaano kaan khabar nahi hoti thi. Maine khud ne mission ki success parties me gist suna tha missions ka. Dusri baat. Mujhe bahar ka nahi pata lekin CID me promotion experience aur expertise dono se milta hai lekin seniors ka trust sirf apne actions se jeet sakte hai. Daya sir aur Abhijeet sir ko experience aur expertise dono hai lekin Dad ka trust itne saalo se unke actions ki wajah se unhe mila hai. Mujhe hi kitne saare secrets nahi pata hai abhitak. National security is not a joke. Kisi bhi do teen saal purane officers ko national secrets batane lag jayenge to kya hi ho jayega.

Purvi rolled her eyes.

Kavin smirked- Aur teesri aur sabse important baat. Itna kuch hone ke baad bhi aapko lagta hai ki aapke saath partiality ho rahi hai to apni kaabiliyat badhaiyye. BE the change you want to see here.

Purvi smirked - Kehna aasan hota hai sir. Har kisi ke Dad CID me ACP nahi hote na. Aur upar se aap to mard ho aap kya samjhoge mahilaon ka dard.

Kavin - Aaj Mahilaon ko dard ho raha hota to Divya, Shreya, Kajal ma'am jaise log itne aage nahi jaate. Agar wo partial hote to Pankaj aur Nikhil ko promotion nahi milti sirf 2 saalon me. Agar itne hi galat hote to apne sabse pyaare bete Nakul ko goli nahi maarte. 30+ saal ka experience hai unhe. Pure sahi na ho shayad lekin galat to bilkul nahi hai wo. Aapko equality na dikhna, justice na dikhna problem nahi hai. Aapki problem ye hai ki 2 saal me Pankaj, Nikhil, Divya aage badh gaye lekin aap wahi ki wahi hai. You are not disappointed, just jealous ki tumhe koi prioritize nahi karta.

Purvi looked at him in a shock. She was about to speak something that Kavin's mobile rung.

Kavin - Hm? Okay. Haan.

- Chalo bahot ho gaya coffee break bureau chalo.

And he left.

Ishika- Par kuch bhi kaho ye Kavin sir cute lagte hai

Purvi - Chii. Ye akdu insaan tujhe cute lagta hai?

Ishika- Hmmm

Purvi - Kaise baat kar raha tha. Ise to dikha dungi mai female power.

Ishika- tch Purvi ! Mujhe to samajh hi nahi aata ki tujhe kiss baat ki itni chidh hai. Mujhe to Kavin sir ne jo kaha wohi sach lag raha hai. I mean I know ki aurto ke saath kafi partiality hoti hai duniya me lekin ACP sir aise nahi hai. Aur na hi humari team.

Purvi- Whatever. Chal bureau chalte hai warna wo khadoos fir se kuch bol dega.

They enter bureau. Everyone is happy and laughing.

Shreya- Are ao ao Purvi, Ishika.

They see Freddy back in bureau. Ishika jumps to meet him and tightly hugs him.

Ishika - Aap aa gaye Freddy bhaiyya! Aapko pata hai maine kitna miss kiya aapko?

Freddy laughs.Though Freddy wasn't Ishika's real brother, he cared for her more than her real brother could have ever. And it was the same from other side.

Freddy - Daya sir aur Abhijeet sir nahi dikh rahe?

Ishika- Haan ACP sir ne unhe aur Nikhil ko mission pe bheja hai.

Freddy - Oh accha accha. Accha ab chhod mujhe sabse milne to de.

Ishika nods. Freddy distributes gifts to everyone.

Freddy - Pankaj..ye le tera special chocolate box.

Pankaj - Special chocolate box?

Freddy - Haa isme se tu chocolate khaye na to ek min me khatam ho jayege

Everyone laughs.

Freddy - Sachin ye le teri watch

Sachin - Thanks Freddy.

Freddy - Kajal tere liye ye ready to make juice. Pregnancy me bohot useful hota hai ye. Aur tu mat banana. Sachin ko bolna.

Sachin - Are Freddy ye already ghar ke saare kaam bhi karwa rahi hai ek aur kaam mat add kar yarr

Freddy - Chup kar. Pregnancy me patni ko kuch kaam nahi karne dena chahiye. Wo to iski jidd hai jo aisi haalat me bureau aa rahi hai.

Kajal - Aur nahi to kya Freddy. Mera khayal hi nahi hai ise.

Sachin - Accha ji?

Kajal laughs.

Freddy - Ye le Shreya tera wo favourite dress meri wajah se kharab ho gaya tha na?

Shreya - Sir..Thank you

Freddy keeps his hand on Shreya's head.

Freddy - Divya ye lo kuch books laaya hu.

Divya - Thanks sir.

Freddy - Kavin tere liye ye jacket.

Kavin - Thanks Sir.

They hug each other

Freddy - Use uska favourite pen de dena teri jacket me hai.

They separate.

Just then ACP, Dr.Salunkhe and Dr.Tarika enter the bureau.

ACP- Are bhai humare liye bhi kuch laaya hai ya nahi Kasauli se?

Freddy - Laaya hu na sir. ACP sir. Ye painting aapke liye.

ACP- Are wahh kaafi khoobsurat hai ye to.

Freddy - Ji sir. Salunkhe sahab. Aapke liye ye scapel laaya hu. Aur kuch accha dikha nahi.

Dr.Salunkhe - Dekha boss mere liye laaya to kya ? Scapel.

ACP- Salunkhe pyaar se laaya hai

Dr.Salunkhe nods.

Freddy - Tarika tumhare liye ye book hai Forensic wali. Tumhe chahiye thi na?

Dr.Tarika- Thank you Freddy sir.

Ishika - Aur mere liye??

Freddy - Hai hai tere liye bhi hai ye. Hm. Ye le.

Ishika- Thanks bhaiyya.

Tarika- Wrappers?

Ishika- Haa wo mujhe local products ke wrappers collect karna pasand hai.

Purvi was standing there reading some file. She was bored of the melodrama going on.

Freddy came towards her.

Freddy - Purvi, ye tumhare liye.

It was a shawl.

Purvi smiled a bit- Thanks sir.

Freddy smiled back.

Freddy - Abhijeet Sir, Daya sir aur Nikhil ko unke gifts wo aane ke baad de dunga.

ACP - Tere gifts deke ho gaye ho to mai ek announcement karna chahta hu.

Everyone keeps their gifts aside and looks at ACP.

ACP- Humare ek officer ko promotion mila hai.

Everyone looks curiously.

ACP - Insp.Ishika tumhe promotion mila hai.

Everyone claps and congratulates Ishika.

ACP- Chalo phir. Waise bhi aaj koi case nahi hai so ghar jao. Kal aana sab log time pe. Congratulations once again Ishika.

Everyone leaves for their house.

Purvi opens her car door.

Just then Kavin comes.

Kavin - Tch Tch Tch! Ab kya karoge Purvi ji? Ishika ko bhi promotion mil gayi. Ab kya usse bhi jealous hoke baat chhod doge.

Purvi looks at Kavin and gets inside her car. She slams her car door while Kavin smirks.

Ishika is looking at Kavin from a distance. She smiles a bit and gets into her car.

Kavin along with ACP go home.
