"Truth...", replied Ayush.

"Coward..."Pradeep(senior inspector) comments. Kavin, Nikhil, Dr Anirudh(his is oldest in his mid 50s), karan, Ali are present.

"I selected it to not become monkey sir...or else you would have been asked me to do monkey dance...", Ayush replied.

All laugh at this.

"You can't escape kiddo....ok then tell us ... how and when are you planning to marry?", asked Pradeep.

"What is this question sir?", asked Ayush shockingly.

" Question is a question...if you have any special girl tell us… truth understand!", said Abhi mocking him.

Dushyant is pulled once again into the memories of the girl.

"Hello?What are you dreaming?", asked Dr Anirudh to which he came to reality and smiles at his seniors.

"Sir that is-", said Ayush while blushing.

"Haan", all are waiting for his answer.

"Ther is no such girl sir", answered Ayush.

"Then why your face became red like beetroot?", asked Dr Anirudh teasingly.

"Sir.. m-my face.. d-didn't become red sir", replied Ayush still blushing.

"it became red dear! Tell fast or else yours job is gone and our friendship also,"said Pradeep .

" sirrr plz...y, "Ayush said.

"no plz..all are men only then why are you feeling embarassed?"Abhi said cutting him in middle.

"sir, l have one happy?",replied Ayush in one breath.

"Name?..",asked Pradeep.

Abhi (senior inspector)and Pradeep keep grilling him while others jus enjoy this.

"Name? sir plzzz, no sir", replied Ayush while pleading.

"Kiddo you need to tell us full story...", said Dr Anirudh eagerly.

"Kavin, Ali help me plz.."said Ayush like begging.

"Rules are rules boss..", they replied sharply.

*sigh*

"Yes go on!", said Pradeep.

"Sir she was my childhood friend.. l used to call her billi..she was my neighbour.. that's it..", he said.

"Tell us your full story kiddo", said Dr Anirudh.

Ayush takes a deep breath and shares his secret.

"What should I tell sir? We were neighbours. First we used to fight, then suddenly we became friends. We became that close that l wanted to do anything for her. I left the local cricket team for her...everyone knows, billi and bhaalu, best friends forever, but one day..."

" one minute, who is this bhaalu.."asked Krishna cutting him in middle.

"Krishna...if that girl is billi then Ayush is Bhallu know...", answer Ali

" haa sir very funny heheh", said Krishna

Abhi asks Ayush to go on.

"One day, her father got transferred and they left Punjab. l remembered that day very well sir, l cried a lot like that is my last day. Then she came to me and gave me this..."

He pulls out a red ribbon and shows it to them.

"And she said when they meet again she will identify me using this ribbon...She also said that she will never forget me...she has many ribbons and in all those red is her favourite...(with teary eyes he continued). hahaa, she was a child know, she believed that we will meet again... but today l don't have that confidence... ", said Ayush with teary eyes.

"why it won't happen? True love should always win....you should take her or her father's number",said Pradeep concolling him.

"I know sir but everything happened in a blink of eye....and l don't know Pradeep sir weather this is love or something else. If we again meet once....l will get clarity...", said Ayush with a heavy heart.

"You will meet her, don't worry.", said Kavin to which Aysh nods smiling a little. Saryu, Ishitha and other girls reach there.

"Did we miss something?", asked Ishitha after studying the atmosphere.

"Nothing much....some childhood stories..", replied Ayush.

"Ohh-

"Wanna play?"

"Suree.."

The officers chillax and long day comes to end.
