The Wait

Part-34

On reaching back Mumbai everyone rested for the day and joined the bureau the very next morning.

"Yaar technology ke bina kaam karna kitna muskil hota hai, ye mujhe ab pata chal raha hai."

Shree groaned eyeing the piles of paper in front of him.

"Sach me sabke statements, records sab kuch papers me hai,sab kuch type karke file karte karte raat ho jayegi."

Ayesha sighed heavily from her chair.

"jab wahan the tab pata nahi chal raha tha aur mobiles ke bina kitna achha lag raha tha."

Riya added without resting her fingers from typing on the laptop.

"Hai na? Agar bhoot ka thory na hota toh vo jagah sach me bahut shant aur relaxing tha."

Sakshi commented from her desk.

"Guys ye lo , tum sabke liye subah ka energy dose."

Chhotu came walking with a tray of coffee mugs and handed them to each and everyone.

"Kya baat hai Chhotu, aaj tumne coffee banaya.?"

Riya asked, amused.

"Maine socha pure 2 din baad hum bureau me aaye hain ,kyun na sabko welcome coffee dun."

Chhotu replied smiling.

"Hmm achha lag raha hai."

Shree murmured tasting the coffee.

"Arey per mai Rathore sir aur Arjun sir ke liye banana bhul gaya."

Chhotu scratched his head.

"Koi baat nahi chhotu , Rathore sir ab tak aaye nahi hain."

Ayesha answered.

"Aur Arjun ko uski chai maine de di hai."

Sakshi quickly added, just when Rathore came walking in.

"Good Morning team."

"Good morning sir."

Everyone chorused turning to him.

"Sir aap coffee piyenge.?"

Chhotu offered.

"Abhi nahi.

Mujhe tum logon ko kuch batana hai.

DGP sir retired ho rahe hain ,aur unki farewell ke liye department ne lunch party rakha hai aur hum sabko invite kiya hai. Liza ko bhi bula lena.

Hum 2 ghante me yahan se niklenge, toh tab tak tum sab kal ke case ka paperwork khatam karlo."

"Lunch party? Wow."

Sakshi squealed with delight.

"Per sir kal ke case ka paperwork bahut zyada hai."

Shree murmured in a low voice.

"Issliye toh 2 ghanta diya hai Shree."

Rathore spat back quickly, then roamed his eyes around.

"Wese Rawte nahi aaya hai abhi tak.?"

"Arjun apne cabin me hai."

Sakshi answered him, thus he nodded his head walking away.

"ab ye sab 2 ghante me khatam karna padega.?"

Riya whined banging her forehead on the files.

"Ri exactly 1 ghanta 57 sec hai hamare pass abhi."

Shree reminded her eyeing his wrist watch, and watched her sitting up straight resuming her work without uttering another word.
