Scene 12 @ Anniversary Event
The event starts wid a speech from the higher official of CBI. After that the special guests speak something abt the work of CBI n how they r successful in catching so many criminals. After the guests complete their speeches suddenly the announcer comes on stage n announces something.
Announcement: Hey guys!! Our event is gonna end wid one more thing. Though it’s the last event, it’s not the least one. In fact it’s the best once in order 2 appreciate the people who work hard n put their entire life in fulfilling their duty. It’s the award ceremony for those officers who worked so hard n solved some highly intelligent cases within a few days or a few weeks. K now I request our special guest Mr. Ramprasad Maheshwari 2 come n present the awards.
Ramprasad goes in the center of the stage. The announcer announces the first award.
Announcement: The first award if for that person who put his soul into the case that he even solved the case before discussing it wid the higher officials. This award goes 2… (There is complete silence in the hall. All r eager 2 know who that is) none other than our dashing n smart officer Mr. Sanskar Maheshwari for solving the Arthur Road case. Give it up for him…ladies and gentlemen. A big round of applause.

Sanskar is shocked n all numb 2 hear his name as he didn’t expect this. A huge sound of clapping engulfs the entire hall. Sanskar is still in shock when Laksh pat his back n asked him 2 go on the stage. He went there n received the award from Ramprasad. He felt so happy. His happiness is clearly visible in his face. The glowing of his face, the tears in his eyes, the smile on his face – all show how happy he is. He goes near the mike 2 tell how he is feeling.
Sanskar: I’m really out of words right now. I still can’t believe this. I never expected that I would do something like this 2 get a reward. And it gives me more pleasure n happiness in receiving the award from my chote papa. Even though he is my chote papa he is more than a father for me. He always supported, encouraged n treated me so special. Thank u chote papa. Thank u so much. And coming to this case I would say I’m not the only one who deserves this award. There is one more person who helped me like a true CBI officer. The person who helped me solve the case though this case is not of hers. And it’s none other than Ms. Ragini Gadodia. Give it up for her guys. Pls Ragini, come on the stage. I don’t deserve this without u.
Ragini is hell shocked hearing Sanskar take her name. She is all numb n don’t know wht 2 do. Here Laksh’s heart skipped a beat. He thought abt her always coming late 2 ofc, behaving like a kid n the way he scold her on that day for not studying the file.
Laksh: WTH… She n help. Wo bhi Sanskar ke case mein. I just can’t believe this. She is so careless, childish n irresponsible. How did he help him solve a case?? And did I do a mistake by scolding her that day?? Should I apologize?? (His chain of thoughts were interrupted by Sanskar’s voice)
Sanskar: Pls come on the stage Ragini.
Ragini gets back 2 senses n starts gng 2 the stage. She goes 2 Sanskar n they both share the award. Everyone claps for them. They both leave the stage after that.
Ragini: Sanskar… What’s dis?? I don’t deserve this award?? I just helped u as a CBI officer that’s it. U r the one who studied the case, u r the one who suspected the MLA, u r the one who made the plan n u r the one who caught the criminals. What did I do?? I just helped u execute the plan. That’s it na…
Sanskar: Ha Ragini… But when there is no proper execution of plan everything back fires. That is the main part of the plan – execution. And u helped me in the main part that means u helped me in the whole case.
Ragini: But… (Cut off by Laksh)
Laksh came 2 them 2 congratulate.
Laksh: Haa Ms. Gadodia. U deserve that equally.
Ragini is shocked again. Her ever scolding boss praised her for the first time since her joining. He is totally blank.

Ragini: Thank u Laksh Sir… (She said somehow managing n controlling her excitement)
Laksh: Congrats bro… U did a great job.
They are talking like that. Suddenly Ragini remembers that she brought Pooran Poli for Laksh. So she takes the box out n is abt 2 give it 2 Laksh. But their higher official comes there 2 talk wid them. So Ragini puts the box away.
Person: Sanskar n Ragini. I’m impressed. U both did a great job really.
Sanskar n Ragini: Thank u Sir.
Person: Btw Sanskar… I’m thinking 2 send a person 2 US on some official purpose n I think u’ll be the best fit for it.
Sanskar: Sir… US?? But wht’s the purpose??
Person: Yeah, the Indian embassy people in US need a CBI officer’s help in tracking some international criminal n so they r very keen on getting a smart n intelligent police just like u. And it’s only for a week.

Sanskar: Hmm… Sounds interesting sir. I’ll always be ready for duty.
Person: I know. And u gotta start tomorrow i.e. Monday night. U’ll reach there by Tuesday morning in US (Guys it actually takes 18 or more hours 2 go 2 US n since they r 12 hours behind us it looks like the travel time is less) n stay there till Friday n board the flight on Saturday night. Saturday they r gonna provide wid everything. It’s like a one day holiday for the trip. U can do whatever u want that day.
Sanskar: K sir. Thanks a lot. Sounds like a great duty cum vacation. I’ll surely make it.
Person: Thank u. And u Ragini I’m giving u an open invitation into my group if u r willing.
Listening this Laksh gets irritated. And thinks something.
Laksh: WTH!! How can she go to that group? I agree that she is kinda childish, irresponsible n all but she is really good at solving cases. I want her. Shut up Laksh. Wht r u thinking?? She’s gonna stay wid lifelong solving ur problems. Nooooooo way. She’ll accept his offer for sure atleast 2 avoid my scoldings.
Ragini: Thank u so much for the offer Sir. I would love 2 join ur group.
Laksh: I knew it. Anyways why am I feeling bad??
Ragini: But no thank u Sir. I’m comfortable where I am. And I’m very lucky 2 have Laksh Sir as my guide.
Laksh is totally shocked wid her statement n couldn’t believe his own ears. He is continuously staring her while she is talking wid the officer.
Person: K guys then it’s all sorted out. I’m gonna go u guys carry on. Have ur dinner.
Sanskar, Laksh n Ragini: Yes Sir. Thank u.
The person leaves from there after wishing them gud nyt. Then Sanskar also goes 2 his colleagues n assistants 2 chat wid them. Now Ragini n Laksh r all alone.
Laksh: K. So??
Ragini: So??
Laksh: So u did a good job.
Ragini: Thanks!!
Laksh: And Sry for scolding u on that day.
Ragini is again shocked. The person who always scold her, who hates girls, praised her n told sorry in the same day. She is so surprised. It seemed like a surprise day for her. This is the best day of her life is wht she thought. But she thought of teasing Laksh.
Ragini: Which day Sir?? I mean u toh scold me every day na… So I don’t know for wht u r saying sry.
Laksh: Woo… On the day..u hel..ped Sanskar in his case. I’ve…scol..scolded u for …not study..ing the case again na. For that only.
Ragini: Oh k. No problem.
Laksh: K, I’ll go have my dinner.
Ragini: Sir… Actually have 2 tell something. I brought something for u.
Laksh: What?? (shocked) For me??
Ragini: Ji…

She takes out the Pooran Poli box from her bag n gives it 2 Laksh.
Ragini: Sir… Open it na.
Laksh: What’s in there?? U r not planning 2 kill me right?? I mean I’m still so young. R u playing any prank on me for scolding u??
Ragini: Sir pls just open it na…(wid pout face)
Laksh: K.
He opens the box slowly thinking what’s in there. He thought of a mini bomb exploding on his face when he opened it or a clown showing his tongue out would jump out of the box. His chain of thoughts were broken by a smell. Delicious smell. He opened the box ASAP n is shocked 2 find his fav Pooran Poli. He literally screamed at Ragini.
Laksh: Pooran Poli… (he screamed).

So guys here is the end of this epi.
Wht u guys think?? Who kidnapped Swara?? What’s his purpose?? What is he gonna 2 her??
Wht will be Laksh’s reaction?? Will he scold her?? Or praise her??
Will Sanskar meet Swara in US?? How will they meet?? How will destiny bring them close??
