Chp 1 Yaadein
The CID team was at the Maharashtra Police Academy, Nashik for the selection of the most talented candidates for recruiting them in the Mumbai CID team. The wine city of India, Nashik looked as green as ever, felt as cool as ever. The selection was due for a week starting the next day; hence Abhijeet suggested visiting the Godavari Dam Backwaters.
The team reached the mesmerizing reservoir and were enchanted by the vibrant beauty of the spot. They decided to have a boat ride to explore the lengths of the backwaters. As they slowly oared through the still waters of the reservoir, a soft sound of water was the only thing that broke the silence. All were enjoying the peace of that place that was heavenly after the everyday rush and hustle and bustle of the metro city, Mumbai. The silence seemed to soothe everything around and in them. The peace meant a lot to out tough C.I.D. cops. This was paradise for those who always had to endure distorted dead bodies, heart wrenching pools of blood, criminal minds, punches and kicks and gunshots piercing the silence and sometimes their own bodies. After the boat ride, A.C.P. and the doctor moved to have a small walk around the beautiful place. Rajat, Sachin and Daya were very interested in taking the water motorbike rounds of the reservoir. Freddy decided to buy something to take back home for his wife.
Whereas Abhijeet, he sat beside a rock that had four names carved on it. He looked at it for a long time, longing clear in eyes. Then slowly, he reached out and moved his hand steadily over the names.
"Arjun, Abhijeet, Nakul aur...", he was cut short by a familiar voice,"Aur kaun?"
"Bolo na boss, aur kaun?" asked Daya sitting beside him.
"Koi nahi yaar, Jaane do", Abhijeet answered turning his head and wiping away his tears.
Daya:- Mujhse aansu chupaoge? Usehi yaad kar rahe ho na?
Abhijeet:- Haan.(sighs)
Daya:- Kyu? Aakhir har roz use yaad karne se tumhe kya milta hai? Woh jaa chuki hai. Hamesha, hameha ke liye. Yaad karne se wapas nahi ayegi.
Abhijeet:- Pata hai yaar. Lekin use bhula bhi toh nahi sakta. Jaan thi woh meri. Jaan se jyada pyaar karta hoo main usase.
Daya:- Toh tum use nahi bhuloge. Tum samajhte kyo nahi. Mar chuki hai woh.
A deep silence followed this utterance. Both of them stared at each other for a long time. Daya was the first to break it.
Daya:- Chalo ab. Kal jaldi uthna hai.
Abhijeet:- Hmm. Chalo.
Abhijeet gave a last pat to the rock and got up. Together they moved towards the restaurant. Abhijeet immediately changed his mood to normal.
In the restaurant:-
Freddy:- Arey sir, kya aap jante hai, Nasik ki wine puri duniya mein famous hai.
ACP:- Toh kya chakhne ka irada hai?(Taste karne ka irada hai?)
Freddy:- Sir... woh ...ha.
ACP:- Kya, ha? Tum wapas peene lag gaye?
Freddy:- ab wo mera matlab nahi.
Dr. Salunkhe:- Kya Freddy kabse haan nahi kar rahe ho? Aur vaise bhi, sharab sehat ke liye thik nahi hoti hai.
Freddy:- Nahi sir mera matlab woh nahi tha.
ACP:- To kya tha?
Here Rajat and Sachin are enjoying, trying hard not to laugh.
Freddy:- Wo ab sir, Nasik aye aur sabse famous cheez hi nahi chakhi to...
Abhijeet:- Aain, Freddy, wapis peene lag gaye tum. Ab to bhabhiji ko batana hi padega.
Takes his phone and dials some numbers.
Freddy:- Arey sir, kyu aag laga rahe rahe hai? Rehene dijiye, kuch nahi chahiye mujhe.
Makes a face and stop talking. All laugh. Daya is happy that Abhijeet's mood has come back to normal.
Abhijeet:- Uff, ab roni surat mat banana.
Daya:- Aur nahi toh kya. Sirf wine thode na Nasik ki specialiy hai. Aur bhi cheeze hai. Jaise Misal Pav, bhare huye baingan(brinjals), Ansa fansa chi bhaji(Fanas ke pakode),...
Abhijeet:- Gudh ki roti.(He said very sadly.)
Freddy:- Arey bas kariye sir, agar aur dishes ka naam liya toh Nasik mein baadh aa jayegi.
All laughed again and, they had a great time enjoying their dinner.
Who is this girl, whose memories haunt Abhijeet|? Is she Tarika? Or is she someone else? And who are Arjun and Nakul? What do they mean in Abhijeet's memories?
Think and also please review. Negative or positive, both will do.
Love your life.
Take care.
Shanaya.
