Author's POV
Today was happy sunday morning.
In Lucknow,Anubhav and Santosh had decided to spend their Sunday with kids on the playground.
Ofcourse! They had a mission motive.
A clue from Anubhav's detective was to be received today.
Santosh and Anubhav reached the ground at sharp 7 in the morning.
The energy of the kids motivated them to another level of extent.
Soon they took their positions and the game began.

'' Jivan kuch din baccho ke saath bhi guzarlene chahiye bohot anand aata hai..." Anubhav said enjoying the game.
" Sir...toh phir jab aapki aur madam sir ki shaadi hojayegi aur aapke babies aajayenge toh...thode kya aapka pura jivan ussi mein jayega..." Santosh's innocence was at peak.
" Aapko subah subah hi humne singhade ka halwa diya tha...khaya nhi aapne.." Anubhav sarcastically spoke.
" Khaya na bohot accha bana tha...aur ye joh bola na maine wo maasumiyat nhi tha....Pure hosh mein bola hai maine...." Santosh said with an extra sweet smile and continued playing.
" Kaha phas gaye hum...!!" Anubhav facepalmed himself.
" Anubhav sir...niche jhukiye...ball lag jayegi..." Santosh yelled at Anubhav who was resting as not to hurt his wound again.
Anubhav catched the ball easily saving himself from it.
" Baccho ye ball kharab hogayii hai...dusri ball se khelna..." Anubhav said.
Anubhav unwrapped the upper layer of plastic from the ball and found a chit stuck with a note written.
" Ghode godown ke picchu...Chikku ke ped ke nicchu..." He read the note.
" Ye paheli de diye tum titu..." Anubhav said thinking about the riddle.
" Santosh Sharma..." Anubhav called her.
" Kya sir abhi mai out karne hi wali thi usse..." Santosh unwillingly came to him.
"Ye padhiye...isme se kuch pata chalta hai kya dekhiye..." Anubhav said handing over the cheat to Santosh.
" Ye kaisi bhasha hai..." Santosh said in confusion.
" Hindi hi hai..." Anubhav said.
" Ha aapki wali nhi hai...isiliye laga nhi hindi hai..." Santosh sarcastically said.
" Pata hai aapko ghode bazaar kaha hai..." Anubhav asked.
" Ha..." Santosh said.
" Chaliye phir..." Anubhav said and they got into the car and left.

" Ye gaadi kyu ruk gyi..." Santosh said as the car stopped urgently.
" Lagta hai chedchani ki hai kisi ne...Gaadi se bahar nhi nikalna..." Anubhav instructed.
Anubhav messaged his detective about the change of plan and shared his live location asking to send police force when given a signal.
