|#2. Working Day|
It's a big day. Viren is happily surprised when Ruhana joins the bureau. The other team members are happy to meet her and Vineet is already fascinated by her. Everyone is having a great time when the phone rings. It's the bureau landline and Vineet picks it up. It's a case,surely. Vineet disconnects the call and turns to the ACP informing him about the case. It's somewhere in a housing society, that a man is found dead. ACP orders the duo to take the charge of the case and they divide into two teams. Viren asks Ruhana to stay in the bureau,while she looks at him and retorts that she will accompany him.
Maybe, Viren is asking her to stay in the bureau because she has just joined them and she doesn't know anything about the work strategy here. Ruhana smiles at his thoughts after all, she knows him the best. She knows he cares for her and since it is her first day in the bureau,he wants her to stay safe. She can use the day in learning about the work strategy and also the bureau premises. They are all ready to go, when ACP stops Ruhana and asks her to stay back as he wants to talk to her. Ruhana abides the words of her boss and stays back. The teams disperse and Ruhana moves into the cabin following ACP Pradyuman. She takes her seat, maybe he wants to talk to her for some reason.
"Why did you opt for CID?" he asks.
"Sir, I am tired being an undercover cop. And Mehta uncle - - I mean DSP Avinash Mehta, he wanted me to join you." Ruhana says.
"Tum Avinash ko jaanti ho?" he asks, astonished.
"Jee sir! Wo mere aur Viren ke guardian they. And I've got trained under him, even Viren as well." Ruhana says.
Pradyuman smiles - - avinash is his old acquaintance. He pats Ruhana's cheek. Meanwhile, a masculine voice echoes in the bureau.
"Don't worry ACP! I am giving you the best of my officers." a man enters the cabin.
Pradyuman smiles, he hugs the old man. He's no one but Avinash Mehta - Pradyuman's friend and Ruhana's guardian. Ruhana touches his feet to take his blessings, while Avinash pulls her in a side hug.
" She's surely best, after all tumne train kiya hai usey." Pradyuman smiles.
"She is! Isliye toh bheja hai isey! She's also glad to be home. Hai na beta!" Avinash looks at her.
"Oh yes! I'm home finally!" Ruhana says, heaving a sigh of relief.
Avinash pats her cheek and leaves the bureau, after talking to ACP. Meanwhile, the teams come back after investigating for the first round. The officers get busy with the case and soonish it's Evening. They have just got their hands on the collars of the culprit. It's been an easy case.
*****
After all the paperwork, the officers are ready to leave for their homes. Ruhana seems to mingle well in her new family. All of them have been more welcoming than she thought. Viren is happily surprised to have his sister by his side. As they leave the building and move into parking lot, everyone part their ways, Vineet, Viren and Ruhana are still left. Viren and Vineet move on to take out their car and, suddenly, out of the blue, someone pounces over Vineet, hugging him. He's shocked at the sudden move. He parts the hug and is relieved to find his own sister, Bulbul.
"Bulbul!!" Vineet glares at her as she has surely scared him.
"Surprise!!" she flashes her charming smile, which surely calms her elder brother.
" Ye surprise kam shock zyada tha!" Viren comments looking at Bulbul.
"Tumhe kya problem hai? Tumhe surprise nahi diya maine, samjhe! " Bulbul retorts, glaring at Viren.
"Mujhe tumhara ye shocking surprise nahi chahiye, samjhi!" Viren says making a face.
"Toh tum chup raho! Mujhe mere bhaiya se baat karne do!" Bulbul says and turns to Vineet, who's till now enjoying the banter between his best friend and sister.
"Tu yahan akeli aayi? Call Kar deti, I would have picked up." he asks out of concern.
"I am fine bhaiya, wo meri dost Vanya ke sath aayi. I knew this is your usual time, toh I came here. Let's go home." Bulbul says tucking his hand in hers.
"Oh yes! Let's go!" Vineet says.
He holds the bag that Bulbul gave him and keeps it in the back seat. The girl studies forensic science in Pune, and is here for her break. She'll be staying here for ten days. Meanwhile, Ruhana comes by their side after finishing her call.
"viren! Let's go!" she says and finds him pulling back his car, she moves to a side.
Vineet too, ignites his car to take it out while Bulbul looks at Ruhana.
"Aap kaun ho? Aur Viren ko kaise jaanti ho?" she asks.
"Main Viren ki behen hoon. Aaj hi CID Join kiya hain." Ruhana smiles.
"That's cool! I wish mujhe bhi yahin pe transfer mil jaye." Bulbul says joyfully.
"Wo toh tab hoga na, jab tum finals clear karogi!" Viren peeks out of the car window.
"I'll do that, samjhe! Don't underestimate me." Bulbul glares at him.
"We'll see!" Viren says teasingly.
"Bulbul, get in the car." It's Vineet who calls for her sister.
Bulbul makes a face at Viren, who follows her lead. Ruhana slaps Viren's head.
"Ye kya tareeka hai!" she says.
"It's right! She's a jhalli!" Viren says.
"He's mad! Na jaane isko cid officer kisne banaya!!" Bulbul makes a face.
"Meri mehnat ka fal hai!" Viren says teasingly.
Bulbul is about to retort, when Vineet holds her hand.
"Kitna ladte ho dono! Bachon ki tarah!" Vineet comments.
"Sorry Ruhana! They are like this, jab tak dono ladte nahi, dono ko shanti nahi milti." He says.
"He/She started." Viren and Bulbul say in unison.
"Enough! You Two! Viren, let's go home, am hungry." she says.
"I am also hungry. Let's go for dinner." Bulbul chuckles.
Vineet and Viren agree, and they head to their favourite restaurant - - hotel Rainbow. The guys park their cars and they move in. Bulbul rushes to reserve a corner seat and the other three follow her.
Ruhana looks around, the ambience of the place is elegant and the dim lights are gracing the ambience.
"This is beautiful!" Ruhana says.
"It is! This opened three years back, tabse main aur Vineet yahan aate rehte hain." Viren says as he takes his seat beside Ruhana, who rests her head on his shoulder.
"Dekha aapne, they enjoy without us." Bulbul makes a face.
"That's the best part. Tum nahi hoti ho na!" Viren says teasingly.
"Haww! That's so mean, Viren! Bhaiya, aap isko toh kuch nahi bolte." Bulbul complaints.
"He won't!" Viren retorts teasingly.
"Dekha Di! Aapka bhai mujhe kitna satata hai!!" Bulbul makes a face.
"Tu bhi toh kam nahi hain!" Vineet breaks his silence.
"Main kuch nahi karti, Viren karta hai." Bulbul makes a face.
"Okay relax! We are here for dinner." Vineet and Ruhana say in unison,and then they break into laughter.
Meanwhile, the waiter asks for their order and they relish the delicious food with light chit chats. Later, they leave for their respective homes.
To Be Continued.

Stay tuned.
