CHAPTER 2

O-O-O-O

he was standing there, motionless n silent. Tears were present in his eyes, threatening to fall down but he was composing himself, as always. no one could read his face. he was a master in hiding his emotions. his face was as hard as stone n he was standing still as a statue. he was looking towards the Operation Theatre with dead eyes. his right hand was bleeding profusely, little glass pieces were present in his wound. the doctors tried to talk to him about dressing his wound but he didnt paid any attention. his left hand was holding a piece of paper but he was not looking at it. he was just staring blankly at the OT.

A person was watching him from some distance, with care n concern present on his face. he was really worried about him but he didnt have the courage to go to his senior. he turned around as he couldnt bear to see his senior in this state for sooo long.

when he turned around, he saw someone rushing towards him, with scared n worried look on his face. he came closer to the 2nd person n said 'Nikhil, Shreya abb kaisi hai? Dr ne kea kaha hai? aur Daya.? Daya kahan hai?' he asked everything in one breath.

'Sir.. Sir.. aap saans tou lein pehle...'

'nhn leni hai mein ne saans Nikhil... tm mere sawaalonk a jwaaab do...' the person asked irritated.

'Sir, Daya sir wahan khare hain...' Nikhil said pointing towards the man in front of OT 'aur sss... sir unn... unke bht lagi hai.. haath pe...' nikhil said, trying to control his tears but failing miserably.

'kea bol rhey ho Nikhil.? kaise lgi uss ko?' the person asked, really worried. 'aur tmhein Sir ne kaha tha k Daya ko uss k ghr drop krna bureau se direct.. phr Shreya yahan kahan se aa gayi?' he asked confused.

'sir mein aap ko sbb shuru se btaata hun.. sir aaj ka case solve krne k baad hum sbb file work krr rhe thay jbb..'

O-O-O-O

FLASHBACK

O-O-O-O

Daya was continuously working on the high profile case for straight 72 hours without even a break of just a few minutes. he was doing everything to keep his mind away from the incident that occured 2 weeks before. actually it has been his routine to stay in the bureau n noone had the courage to ask him what happened as he was always in a great fury, thats why noone dared to talk to him.

ACP Sir had gone to Delhi 16 days ago n Abhijeet was on a secret mission since 2 months, which no one knew about. n no one knew why Shreya was not coming to the bureau after her mission which was 2 and a half week before (18 days to be exact)... everyone was much surprised when they received her resignation letter n even more surprised when Daya accepted that without any hesitation or question.

After the case had been solved n the victim was put in prison, everyone was still present in the bureau completing filework. Daya was very engrossed in the file in front of him, or just pretending to be. in fact, his mind had gone to 2 weeks before when he did the most hideous act which he was greatly ashamed of. he didnt even had the courage to ask for forgiveness as he did not want to see those eyes full of hatred n fear which looked at him with full love, trust n confidence before.

he knew that his juniors didnt knew what happened n because of his furious attitude they will never gain the courage to ask him something. but the question he feared was for how long?

he was busy soo busy in his thoughts that he didnt noticed the signals his juniors were passing to each other. Finally, after a lot of convincing, one of his juniors came to him. 'Daya Sir..' he said, softly. no answer.

'Daya Sir..' a little loudly this time. still, no response.

'Dayaaaa Sirrr' he shook him a little which worked to get him back from his thoughts, the awful thoughts that haunted him.

'haan Nikhil.. kea hua?' he asked in an annoyed tone.

'S.. Sirr.. wohh...' Nikhil stammered as he didnt had the courage to ask him what he really came to ask.

'kea woh woh krr rhe ho..? kaam ki baat kro wrnaa jaao...' Daya said, anger starting to boil inside him.

'Sss... ssir woh mjhe poochhna tha k... k ACP Sir kbb aaen gein..? he changed the question at the end. everyone shook their heads in dissapoinment.

'mein aa gaya hun Nikhil...' a voice came from the entrance door of the bureau

Everyone turned their head towards the door, including Daya, n got up from their seats to great their senior.

'Welcome Sir..' Daya came forward n shook hands with him.

ACP sir looked keenly at him, not answering his greeting n not leaving his hand.

Daya was afraid of the experienced man standing in front of him. he knew that he could read him well, even when he tried to hide himself from everyone, he n another person could read him easily. NO..! he didnt wanted to think of that other person right now.. just thinking of him made his anger reach its peak...

Daya shook away his thoughts n tried to smile: 'kea huaa Sir..? aap aise kyun dekh rhey hain?'

'tum ktne dinon se nhn soey Daya?' ACP asked, straight.

'woh Sir... asl mein..' he hesitated but gained his composure n replied: 'Sir ek high profile case aaya tha tou uss ki wjah se zyaada araam nhn kea.. but sir abb krr lunga.. case b tou important tha naa..' Daya tried to justify himself.

'Nikhil..!' ACP Sir turned to him with the same questioning gaze: 'Daya kbb se bureau mein hai?'

Nikhil was shocked. he didnt knew ACP sir would ask him something like this, that too in front of Daya sir. he looked pleadingly at ACP sir first, who gave him a stare that sent down chills up her spine than he looked down, as he didnt had the courage to look into Daya sir's eyes. 'Sir.. Daya sir pichhley 3 din se bureau mein hain... sir naa hi sahi se soey hain aur naa hi sir ne theek se khana khaya hai..'

'hmmm' ACP sir nodded n than looked at Daya, who was standing with his head down with expressionless face.

'yeh mein kea sunn rha hun Daya?' ACP sir asked sternly.

'Sorry sir..' Daya mumbled.

ACP sir, shaking his head: 'tum donon bhaiyon kaa kuch nhn ho sktaa'

'mera koi bhai nhn hai.!' Daya YELLED.

Everyone looked at him, really astonished n shocked at his sudden outburst n that too on ACP sir because of Abhijeet...

Daya regained his senses the next moment he yelled n went out of the bureau leaving behind the team, very shocked.

'yeh iss ko kea ho gaya hai?' he asked team, worried n tensed.

'Sir, Daya sir pichhley 2 hfton se bht zyaada pareshaan hain.. baat be baat ghussa krne lgta hain.. zraa zraa si baat pe daantte hain.. aur tou aur Shreya ka resignation bhi bnaa koi sawaal kiye accept krr lea.. aur sbb se hairat waali bt yeh k Abhijeet sir ka naam jbb bhi koi leta hai sir aisa hi harshly react krte hain..' Rajat said. he too worried greatly for his senior.

'2 hfton se...' ACP sir said to himself.. 'axha Nikhil tum jaao Daya k paas aur uss ko ghr hi chhorna uss ke... uss ko beach pe mtt jaane dena.. woh kuch kahe tou kehnaa mera order hai.. dot it?'

'yes Sir..' Nikhil said n than walked out but was astonished to see the person standing at the door. he greeted him than left the place, unable to look into the eyes of the person, which showed great pain.

O-O-O-O

IN THE PARKING:

Daya reached the parking, tears threatening to fall from his eyes. he wanted to cry his hard out but with great difficulty he was composing himself. he just sat in the passenger seat of his Qualis and closed his eyes. as soon as he closedhis eyes, he saw a girl who was pleading him.. he opened his eyes in less than a second. he was brething heavily.. these were the memories he hated with all his heart, but especially the person responsible for them.

Nikhil came n saw Daya sitting in his Qualis looking a little afraid n sweating badly.

'Daya Sir' he put his hand on his shoulder.

Daya came out from his thoughts n jerked his hand away. 'kea krr rhe ho Nikhil yahan? jaao yahan se..'

'Sir mjhe ACP sir ne kaha hai k aap ko ghr drop krr dun...' Daya was about to say something when Nikhil hurriedly said 'Sir ka order hai..'

Daya sighed n gave him the keys. Nikhil took them n started the car. they were half way to Daya's house when he said to Nikhil in a hurry 'Nikhil, jldi se gari Shreya k ghr ki taraf lo..'

Nikhil looked at him, confused. 'Sirr?'

'Nikhil jo kaha hai mein ne woh kro tum...' Daya shouted at the top of his voice.

'yyy... yess sirr...' Nikhil was terrified of Daya's voice, which contained anger, fear, hoplessness n most of all guilt.

Daya was sweating profusely. his instints were telling him something bad, really bad is going to happen.. his hard was trembling with fear of the unknown accident. he could feel that something really unpleasant n grave was going to happen. he couldnt name the feeling.

O-O-O-O

FLASHBACK END

O-O-O-O

Nikhil was unable to say anything further because his tears didnt allowed him to. the person made Nikhil sit down n handed him a glass of water. Nikhil drank it n made himself a little composed.

'phrr kea huaa Nikhil?' the person asked.

Phr...' Nikhil continued...

O-O-O-O

FLASHBACK

O-O-O-O

Daya got out from his thoughts when he felt Qualis stop. he hurriedly opened the door of his side n rang the bell of Shreya's house. he was continuously ringing the bell, but of no use. he was about to break the door when someone opened the door, muttering 'yeh itni raat ko kon pagalon ki trhaan drwaaza bjaa rha hai?' door got opened. Daya pushed the person aside n knocked Shreya's bedroom door..

'Shreyaa.. drwaaza kholo Shreyaa...' Daya was slamming the door really hard. he was unaware that SM and SF were there, cursing him n saying something to him. he was totally oblivious to h is surroundings. the only thing he cared about right now was the person behind the door. he broke the door n was shocked to see Shreya holdong a knife in her hand n a deep cut on her hand.

'Shreyaaaaa'

She lost her balance n was about to fall down when at that instant the door got opened with a bang. a man came in n held her before she could fall down.

'Shreyaa.. Shreyaa.. aankhein kholo...' the man said panicking n patting her cheek. tears were flowing down both of their eyes. Shreya managed a small smile after seeing the man responsible for her current situation n then closed her eyes, maybe forever...

'SHREEEEYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA'

'Nikhil gaari nkaalo jldi se...' Daya ordered Nikhil, picking up Shreya in his arms.

he rushed towards Qualis and sat on the back seat with Shreya in his laps.

'Nikhil jldi chalaao...' Daya screamed at Nikhil.

Nikhil didnt replied but increased the speed. 100, 110, 130, 140... Nikhil just sped the car through the road. it was easy as it was midnight. no one was present on the road n that was making it easy for Nikhil to drive.

soon they reached the hospital. Daya got out of the car with Shreya in his arms n shouting. 'Doctor.. DOCTOR... Sister...'

a nurse came n when she looked at Shreya, she said 'I m sorry sir but yeh suicide hai.. aur iss ka police case bnegaa uss k baad hum innhe operate krein gein..'

'dmaagh theek hai tmhaara? nazr nhn aa rha k yeh mrr rhi hai... jldi se doctor ko bulaao..' Daya became furious n banged his hand on the glass table.

'dekhein sister.. hum CID se hain.. aap jldi se...' Nikhil couldnt complete his sentence as a Dr. reached there n said 'Dayaa' Daya turned around n found his friend there.

'Arjun.. shukarr hai tm yahein ho... yeh Shr... Shreya ko dkho kea ho gaya hai.. please usse bachaa lo.. please...' Daya was crying n feeling really vulnerable.

'okay.. okay Daya.. tum relax ho jaao.. mein Shreya ko dkhtaa hun..' Dr. Arjun said, calming down Daya.

'Shreya theek tou ho jaey gi naa.? pehle ki trhaan?' Daya asked, scared.

'Daya.. mjh pe bharosa rkho.. mein apni poori koshish krunga... jbb tkk tm apni dressing krwaa lo...' he signalled Nikhil who understood.

'Daya sir aap chintaa mt krein Shreya ko kuch nhn hogaa... aap apni dressing krwaa lein.. please sir..'

Dr. Arjun went inside the OT with some nurse and one more doctor. Daya was standing still, not replying to Nikhil, just staring at the OT with dead eyes. Helplessly, Nikhil dialled Abhijeet's number, who after hearing where they were n why, rushed to the hospital.

O-O-O-O

FLASHBACK END

O-O-O-O

'Abhijeet sir.. Daya sir tbb se wahein khare hueyhain.. waise hi.. naa kuch bol rhe hain aur naa hi kuch sunn rhey hain.. aap please jaen naa unn k paas.. shayad aap ki bt sun lein..' Nikhil pleaded Abhijeet with hopeful eyes.

Abhijeet nodded with tears present in his eyes n went towards Daya.

O-O-O-O

it seemed like he was looking at the OT, but in real he was lost in what he read in the paper that was beside Shreya when they reached her room. at that time he unconciously picked that paper n put it in his pocket but when he read it, he hated himself more.. how could he do something so horrible to her... his mind was telling him that it was not his fault.. he had done the right thing at that time.. if he hadnt done it, something really horrible would have happened, more terrific than they were facing now.. but his heart.. his heart was saying that he is guilty. guilty of murdering her innocence, her trust on him n herself as well, her confidence in him n his strenght...

he was angry n frustrated at himself for being soo weak.. if he hadnt been sooo weak, none of this would have happened. he wished that time would come again n this time he would willingly sacrifice his friendship for love...

'Aise Dost hone se Dost naa honaa behtr hai...' he whispered in a venomous voice.
