Something Different

Chapter 3: "Suspicion"

RS then went to his room, closed the door, and lay on the bed, starring on the wall aimlessly with headphones in his head. He was very hardly controlling his tears to drop which was freshly formed in his eyes. All his beautiful past flashbacks were playing in his head which was disturbed by a knock on the door. It took him a moment to calm himself and then he opened the door with a smile. PS was standing there.

PS: tum theek toh ho na?
RS: ha..hann kyu?
PS: kabse bula rahe hai, sunai nahi diya?
RS: ohh. sorry, woh headphones the tho sunai nahi diya.
PS: humm.. ye tumhara Mumbai nahi hai jaha tum akele rehte ho. Tumhara pariwaar bhi rehta hai yaha.
RS: sorry na amma. Wese kuch kaam tha kya?
PS: haan, mai ye puchne aai thi ki tum kya khaoge?
RS: kuch bhi banadijiye.
PS: Karela banadu?
RS: eeee (making cute disgusted face) nahi.
PS: toh, batao! kathal banau? kathal
RS: chee.
PS: khane ke chez ko che nahi bolte. Aur tujhe toh pasand thana kathal.
RS: Abhi nahi pasand na. aap logo ko jo bhi pasand ho banadijiye. Aap mujhe jo khilaengi sab accha hi hoga.

PS: thik hai. Wese pata hai Maddam sir ko bhi kathal pasand nahi hai.
RS: haan.
PS: hain. tumhe kese pata?
RS: abhi toh bataya aap ne. Chalo  abhi main thak gaya hoon jaab khana ready ho toh bula ligiyega.
PS: theek hai. Aur woh headphones mat pehenna.
RS: haan hann, theek hai.
Then he again closed the door and lay on the bed without headphones. (aagya kari lagta hai)

Next Morning:
HM and SS were doing their exercise as always. They were chatting on random topics when SS suddenly asked.
SS: wese madam sir.
HM: humm.
SS: aapka shadi ke baare mai kya khayaal hai?
HM: aak number ki bakwaas cheez hai ye shadi.
SS: kyu?
HM: kyu kya kyu? hame pasand nahi hai.
SS: wahi toh kyu pasand nahi hai?
HM: aayese hi.
SS: Bohot zoor se dil toota hai kya?

Both SS and HM looked at each other.

SS: so... sorry.
HM: (chuckled) sorry kehle ki koi zaroorat nahi hai.
SS: sach mai kisine toda hai kya aapka dil?
HM: aapko kya lagta hai?
SS: mujhe toh nahi lagta.
HM: kyu?
SS: kyu kya kyu? aap sundar ho samajdaar ho sab ki iitni care karte ho. Aap ko kaun hurt karna chahega.
HM: phir sahi hai. Karo karo exercise karo.
Both of them again continued to talk on random topics with exercise.

Around 9 a.m., HM, CC, Billu, and SS were having Badnaam special chai as there were no pending cases left when KS reached full speed. She parked the bike and joined in the stall.
CC and SS: Jai hind Madam.
KS: jai hind. Jai hind Maddam sir.
HM: Jai hind Jai hind, kya baat hai Karishma Singh lagta hai aaj toh aapne Pushpa Ji ko gira hi diya.
KS: aare ka baat kar rahi hai maddam sir aap bhi woh aarahi hai Bhaiya ke saath.
HM: ooh, achha. baithiye na... aaa.. humne shayad aapna mobile aandar chood diya hai. Hum zara leke aate hai.
KS: Ji.

After a few minutes, RS and PS arrived at Thana by RS's bike. Everyone was still in the stall except HM.

PS: baas .. bass ha yahi rak do. (got off the bike) (to KS) dekha.
KS: ka?
PS: ayese chala te hai bike. Aaj jaake teen saal baad bina yamraaj ke darshan kiye bina thane pohoche hai hum.
RS: achha hum chalte hain. Bye.
KS: aare kya bye. Aak cup chai toh pike jaaeeye.
CC and SS: haan.
Badnaam: AAP KE LIYE GARMA GARAM BADNAAM EESPECIAL CHAI!! PIILIGIYE NAAAA pleeese. (In his style)

RS looked around and said,
RS: aab itne pyaar se keh rahe hain toh mana thodi karsakte hai.
Then he took the cup and sat on the bench beside Cheeta.

RS: wese.. umm... Haseena Maddam nahi pohchi hai kya? (then sipped the tea)
SS: wo toh subaha hi aagaee thi.
After listening to it, he choked a mouthful of tea and started to cough.

CC: dheere dheere. Mafi chahate hai, woh hum aapko waarning dena bhool gaye.
RS: koi baat nahi. Wese manna padega badnaam tumne meri galat fehmi door kardi ki saab se  gatiya chai mera dost banata hai.

Everybody laughs listening to it.
PS: wese maddam sir kaha hai?
SS: woh mobile lene gaee hai.
KS: lekin bohot deer hogaee hai. Hum dekh kar aate hai.

Then KS went inside to call HM. But, she was not in the cabin nor the hall. Then she went to the gym room and found her. HM was sitting on the bed with a mobile in her hand, watching something. It seemed as if she was looking at a picture. KS didn't see the full picture but just half of it where HM was smiling with someone.

KS: Maddam sir!
HM quickly hid her phone and said;
HM: Ji! kahiye
KS: kitni deer mobile dhudane mai?
HM: Haan Woh, actually mujhe aak call karna tha toh wohi kar rahe the.
KS: achha? (with suspicious tone) Khair, Abhi toh bahar chaliye saab aapka intazar kar rahe hai.
HM: lagta hain hamara kuch kaam baaki hain. Aap jaeeye hum aate hain.
KS: sab hi kaam toh humne kal khatam kar diya thana. Aap bahana mat banaeeye aur chaliye hamare saath.

Then KS held HM's hand and pulled HM along with her to the stall.

While having a conversation RS used to glance at HM which went unnoticed by everyone except KS. She sensed something wrong between them from yesterday. After having tea he went to his office, everyone also started to work on the case which was just filed.
