"Bhaiya thoda jaldi chaliye na please…."

She anxiously looked at her watch. She was too late today. She was so engrossed in the party that the ticking clock failed to grab her attention. It was only when she heard it striking 12 that she remembered she was late. She had hurriedly grabbed her belongings and dashed out of the party. To her luck, she got an auto and now was heading towards her home. The auto left her outside her colony. She hurriedly paid the fare and started taking fast steps towards her house. But the speed automatically slowed down as she reached near it. She reached the main gate and stopped. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath and entered. She glanced at the bungalow which seemed to be dipped in complete night silence. Though deep down in her heart she knew that it was not. She slowly moved forward towards the main door. She took out the spare key from its place and unlocked the door. She entered inside to find darkness again. She took another deep breath and was making her way towards her room when the dim lounge lights got turned on. Without even turning, she knew that the person was none other than her father.

Her Father: (controlling his anger as much as possible) "Ghadi dekhi hai, Ms. MINAKSHI?"

Minakshi: (in extremely low tone) "Sorry Papa woh thoda la –"

Abhijeet: (angrily) "Thoda late… Ise thoda late kehte hai, haan? Toh Ms. Minakshi, kya aap mujhe yeh bataane ka kasht karengi ki aapki nazar me jyada late matlab kitne baje hota hai?"

Minakshi just kept mum at it.

Abhijeet: "Har roz… har roz ka ho gaya yeh ab toh… Jab dekho tab party… jab dekho tab party…. Padhaai naam ki cheez toh jindagi me hai hi nahi tumhare, kyu? Bas party, night – out, picnics… bas yahi sab karti raho tum jindagi bhar… Pata nahi kab akal aayegi tumhe… 17 saal ki ho gayi ho, kuch toh maturity dikha diya karo… Aur kuch bolo toh maharani ka muh phul jaata hai… Phir nakhre uthao inke, manao inhe, haina… Kuch toh sharam kar liya karo, Minu… Bhai hai tumhare ek chhota… Kya sikhega woh tumse jab tumhe is tarah dekhega toh, haan? Khair… Mai bhi kyu apni energy waste kar raha hu tumpar… Itna bolne ke baad bhi kal phir wohi baat hogi… Jao, jaakar so jaao… hunh…"

Saying this, he switched off the lounge lights and went to his room leaving Minakshi where she was. She slowly started trudging her way towards her room, angrily.

Minakshi: (murmuring) "Haan… haan… ab toh meri saari cheeze aapko galat hi lagengi na… aur aapki dusri beti ki saari cheeze sahi… hunh…"

Here, Abhijeet came into his room and sat tiredly on the bed. Tarika who had been pretending to sleep all the while, now finally got up and sat beside him.

Abhijeet: (keeping his head on her shoulder) "Ek beti se rishta judaa… toh ab dusri beti dur hoti nazar aa rahi hai… (tiredly) Kyu yaar Tarika? Kaha kami reh gayi humse, haan?"

Tarika: (softly patting his hand) "Koi kami nahi reh gayi hai humse, Abhi… Bas… haalat kuch thik nahi hai… Tum fikar mat karo… Sab thik ho jayega…"

Abhijeet: "Pata nahi kab…"

Saying this, he just laid down on the bed. Tarika too went on the other side and lied down. But it was just another sleepless night for them. The morning dawned and everyone got busy with their morning chores. No one was interested in mentioning the last night. Even Daya – Shreya didn't interfere as they knew that it would just earn them an angry outburst from Abhijeet. They were having their breakfast when Abhijeet's phone rang. He was confused on seeing the caller – id.

Abhijeet: "Hello, Sr. Inspector Abhijeet here."

Others just looked at his expressions changing from shock to disbelief and finally to anger. They gulped down their food which was in their mouth. So someone today was going to become a complete roast facing his anger. He kept the phone with a low and anger – filled 'yes' and 'thankyou' and hanged the phone. He got up from his half – eaten breakfast, took the car keys and went away. No one dared to ask him when he was going.

She hadn't done anything wrong. She knew it. But how was she going to make that thing understand to her Academy Head who was a complete rule – freak? Yes, abiding by the rules was necessary for maintaining discipline, but sometimes these rules had to be moulded, at least when the question is of someone's life. Actually, 10 days ago, she, with some of her academy friends had gone out for a stroll. At that time, they came across some goons trying to take hold of a small boy but on seeing them, the goons took to their heels leaving the boy there. They somehow took the boy to the near – by clinic as he was looking very weak and dull. The matter was handed over to the police.

However, some instincts can't be curbed down so easily. Being in the academy with the ambition of joining forces, it wasn't easy for them to leave the matter so easily. So they secretly started collecting info regarding those goons. And as they went on collecting info, they soon came to know that the police as well as the doctor in that clinic were involved with them. So it was now upto them to find out the truth. From the past 5 days, they were secretly leaving the academy campus at night – time to solve this case and finally yesterday they had solved it and handed over the gang to the higher police officials there. The police there too had been suspended and the doctor too had been arrested along with his licence being cancelled. However their activities had been reported to the Academy head and now they had to bear the consequences.

Her four friends, Nimit, Anjalie, Shreisht and Shivam had been suspended from the academy for a month along with her. Parents of all of them had been called. Others had come and taken away their children. She was left alone waiting for her father. He entered the office of the Academy head and she looked at him with hope. Hope that at least he would understand. But seeing his stern posture and angry avatar, all her hopes evaporated. She just downed her head again. Her entire energy seemed to have drained now. As it is, the 5 sleepless nights had taken a toll on her but now seeing her hopes fried up, she could just feel that tiredness more potently.

Head: "Aayiye Sr. Inspector Abhijeet… (shaking hand with him) Please have a seat."

Abhijeet took the seat while eyeing Tanishka with his special glare.

Head: "Jaisa ki maine aapko bataya tha, aapki beti ne apne kuch dosto ke saath milkar academy ke kai saare important rules tode hai… Haan, wajah jarur nek thi… But rules are rules… Aur unhe todne par sazaa milti hi hai.."

Abhijeet: (in composed tone) "Jee sir… Bilkul sahi farmaaya aapne…"

Head: "Toh inki sazaa yeh hai ki inhe ek mahine ke liye academy se suspend kiya jaata hai…. Dhyaan rahe ki jab yeh wapas aaye toh inhe rules ki samajh ho gayi hogi taaki aage chalkar woh koi aisa kadam phirse na uthaye…"

Tanishka: (finally loosing her control) "Sir toh kya aapka matlab yeh hai ki rules kisi insaan ki jaan se jyada kimti hote hai?"

Abhijeet: (growling) "Tanishka… chup raho…"

Tanishka: (angrily) "Nahi Papa… Maine kuch galat nahi kiya hai… Mana ki humne rules tode hai par agar hum aisa nahi karte toh najaane kitne masoom bacche aaj sadak par bheek maang rahe hote… Woh ladka jo hume mila tha kitna weak tha woh… Pata nahi kitne din se usne kuch khaaya nahi tha… Aur woh doctor aur police us gang se mili huyi thi… Agar hum kuch nahi karte toh – "

Abhijeet: (angrily) "TANISHKA…. ENOUGH… Ek baar keh diya chup matlab chup… Bacchi nahi ho tum jo ek baar me baat samajh me na aati ho tumhe… Now go… get your bag."

Tanishka shot an angry glare towards her father which was completely ignored by him. She got up angrily and went away stamping her feet to take her bag. Abhijeet calmed himself as much as possible and turned towards the Head.

Abhijeet: "Sorry sir… Tanishka ki aur se mai maa – "

Head: (dismissing it) "Are nahi Inspector…. Garam khoon hai… Aur jawaani ka josh bhi… Par aap aur hum jaante hai ki in maamlo me josh se nahi, hosh se kaam lena hota hai… Waise she is quite mature… I hope woh yeh baat jaldi samajh jayegi… All the best with her…"

Abhijeet smiled lightly and took his leave. He came out, sat in his car and started waiting for her. He saw her coming out with the same angry expressions. Unknowingly a smile lit up on his face.
