time 6:15am
Daya was sitting inside the airbus...looking outside the window...he was returning after attending a joint mission with CID Kolkata Bureau...it was a long mission of a month...but he was not happy...
One more day to go...one full day had remained to complete the span of 180 days...it was the 179th day since he had seen Abhijeet,his buddy...he was missing him badly...he was waiting for the completation of the 180th day...
His eyes became teary...like the overcasted sky outside the window...sinced the day of Abhijeet's suspension order,Abhijeet had left...
Suddenly an announcement brought him out of trance...
'Attention to the passengers of 9W622...we are ready for the take off...please check your seatbelts for a safe journey...we will cover the journey to Kolkata in 2 hours 45 minutes...we assure you a safe journey...thank you...'
Daya did as he was ordered...but frowned next moment remembering the voice of the head pursuer who announced...he was too much curious to see him...he pressed the cabin-crew calling button...
A beautiful air hostess came to his seat,smiled and said...
Air hostess-good morning sir...what can I do for you?
Daya-just a little information...can you say me who is that announcer?...
Air hostess(smiled)-he is the head pursuer of this flight Abhijeet Srivastav...anything more sir?
Daya nodded in no...the air hostess smiled and said...
Air hostess-shall I call him?...he is a nice guy...
Daya read her name for her identity card...Ms. Ankita Chopra...he once smiled and nodded in no...she said...
Ankita-please be free to call again...happy to help you...
Ankita left with smile...Daya once sighed and rested his head on head rest...he closed his eyes and sighed again...
Abhijeet was in interrogation room...collecting the confession of a high profile criminal...the criminal was too tough but Abhijeet too was tough...he was determined to collect the confession...
A sound of tight slap could be heard from interrogation room...and after a while Abhijeet came out from the room...he was looking scared...DCP Chitrolle,who was present there, asked him...
DCP-kya hua senior inspector Abhijeet?...mujrim se dar lg rha h kya?...
Abhijeet(scared)-s...sir...woh Dhanpat...
DCP-haan uska naam Dhanpat h hume v maloom h...kch naya baat batao...
Abhijeet-woh mar gya h sir...
A lightning crashed in bureau hall...ACP said...
ACP-kya?...tumne use maar dia?...
Abhijeet-nhi sir...maine nhi...
DCP-wah!...wah!...kitna achcha bahana!...tumne nhi maara to kisne maara?...maine?
Abhijeet-main sach keh rha hu...I have not killed him...
They entered the interrogation room...Dhanpat was lying on floor with a deep wound on his head...a sketch of five fingers was there on his cheek...there was some blood on a wall...
DCP Chitrolle and ACP Pradyuman looked at Abhijeet,who said...
Abhijeet-main yahan use thappad mara...uska pair phisla aur sar deewar se takdaya...
DCP(with tease)-wah!...senior inspector Abhijeet wah!...aap k hath k shaan to Daya ko v harata h...Daya to sirf daanton mein piano bajata h...tumne to jaan hi le li...wah!...
Abhijeet-maine kch nhi kiya sir...trust me...(went to ACP)...sir kam se kam aap to yakeen kijiye...
ACP-kya yakeen kru main Abhijeet?...tumhari baaton ka?...h tumhare pass koi v saboot?...kya tum sabeet kr paoge apni begunahi?...
Daya was peeping into the room...with his last and desparate hope,Abhijeet went to him and said...
Abhijeet-daya at least tum to...
Daya(interuppting him)-dekho Abhijeet...agar tumhare hath se kch galat ho gya h to confess kro...I promise ki main tumhe jald hi jail se chuda lunga...
Abhijeet lost him temper due to irritation,anger and grief...he did the greatest mistake of his life by shouting...
Abhijeet-HAAN HAAN MAINE HI THAPPAD MARA THA US DHANPAT KO...ITNA GUSSA JO DILA DIYA THA MUJHE WOH...US KA PAIR PHISAL GYA TO MAIN KYA KARU?...JAAN BHUJHKE THODI NA KIYA...
According to forensic report,the cause of death was brain haemorhage...HQ decided that due to Abhijeet's negligence,the accident took place...
Abhijeet was suspended for 6 months...his next joining date would be next year 1st january...his house was sealed for 6 months as it was given by CID...his bank account had been frozen...and he could not keep any contact with CID during this period...
Abhijeet had left that very evening...none knew where had gone?...none except Daya had tried to search him as being scared from HQ...but all had belief that he would return...after six months...
Ankita's voice brought him back in present...she was attending a child in front row of Daya's row...he looked at her and smiled...he was sure that this girl was much close to her 'nice guy'...Daya's POV...
Daya-Abhijeet and Ankita...nice pair...par Tarika?...
He sighed and closed his eyes but couldn't sleep as he was eager to meet or more accurately to have a glance of Abhijeet,the head flight attendent of 9W0618...
Daya was resting with close eyes...when he heard Abhijeet's voice beside him...
Abhijeet(in formal tone)-your breakfast sir...
Daya took the packet silently...his eyes were full of tears...like the rainy sky outside...Abhijeet was leaving to attend others,daya called him...
Daya-I will like to have a glass of orange juice...
Abhijeet(formally)-sorry sir...as you had paid for coffee advancely...I can't provide you so unless you pay again...you will have to buy it...
All of a sudden,the airbut fell in an air pocket...it got tilted aside...all the passengers tilted in that side and Abhijeet lost his balance and fell in Daya's arms...their eyes met after 179 days...and what he saw made Daya shocked...
Bhula fasana koi
guzra zamana koi
saathi purana koi
banke bahana koi
agar dil mein yun
sama jaye to
yeh dil kya kre
