AUTHOR'S NOTE: THANK YOU TO ALL MY REVIEWERS.. THANKS A LOT..
THE STORY:
It was Acp sir.. and his friend..
Abhijeet wiped his tears off..
Abhijeet: aare sir aap log.. aayiye na.. itna der kyu kar di?
Acp sir: haa Abhijeet thora late ho gaya..
Abhijeet: koi baat nehi.. aap aayiye.. aiye mere sath..
Acp sir held his hand..
Acp sir: Abhijeet..
Abhijeet: haa sir..
Acp sir: aa.. wo.. wo mai tumhare liye tofa laya tha.. as Puja gift..
Salunkhe sir: kya tum is saal bhi nehi loge Abhijeet? hum bohot dil se laye hai..
Abhijeet(smiled): kyu nehi sir.. aap dijiye na mujhe.. mai yaha ke bachho ko de deta hu.. nehi nehi.. aap ek kaam kariye aap khud hi de dijiye.. bachhe bohot
khush ho jayenge.. aayiye na.. he was about to move.. but stopped by Acp sir..
Acp sir: Abhijeet.. bachho ke liye hai.. par yeh khas kar tumhare liye laya tha maine..
Abhijeet: aapko pata hai sir ki mai kaunsa gift chahta hu..
Acp sir(with extreme sad tone): Abhijeet.. wo mai tumhe kaha se la kar du?
Abhijeet: aapko nehi dena hai sir.. aap bikul chinta mat kijiye.. (looking at the idol of Durgaa Maa).. maa DAYA ko wapas la kar dengi mere pas.. mai janta hu..
mujhe pura biswas hai.. pura yakeen hai..
just then one boy of age 8-9 came running to Abhijeet.. grabbed his hand and started pulling him with full enthusiasm..
Abhijeet laughed out loudly.. and went with him..
Abhijeet(while going): sir aap log please baithiye na.. mai abhi aaya...
Salunkhe sir: Pradyuman.. yeh intezar kab khatam hoga?
Acp sir: tumhe lagta hai ki yeh intezar khatam hoga?
Salunkhe sir: kyu nehi Pradyuman.. (with hope) ho sakta hai ki...
Acp sir: kya ho sakta hai? bata na.. ky aho sakta hai? 2 saal ho geye hai.. 2 saal se bhi jyada.. kuch ata pata nehi hai Daya ka.. Mission mei kya hua tha last
time.. kuch nehi pata hume.. even HQ ko bhi nehi.. 2-4 jan cop ko chor kar kisi bhi cop ke bare mei kuch pata nehi chal paya tha..
Salunkhe sir: lekin HQ ne to searching operation jari rakhha hai na.. ho sakta hai kuch achha news aa jaye..
Acp sir(in tears): HQ searching operation band kar dia hai Salunkhe.. maine kisi se bataya nehi yeh baat..
Salunkhe sir(shocked): kya?! kya bol rehe ho tum boss.. aisa nehi ho sakta.. aise kaise band kar sakte hai woh log? aare dhoondhne par mil bhi to sakta hai na
Daya.. sayed kisi gand ne un logo ko bandak bana lia hai.. ho sakta hai.. ho sakta hai.. kahi koi bohot secret mamle mei fash geye honge wo log.. ho sakta hai
ki...
Acp sir(in same teary tone): Salunkhe.. us mission ke liye 1 mahine ka time dia gaya tha.. 1 mahine ke andar wo mission khatam karna tha.. thik hai.. 1 mahine
mei nehi hua. 2 mahine.. 3 mahine.. 4, 5, 6.. par yaha.. 2 saal bit chuka hai yaar.. pure 2 saal...
he heaved a sigh... pichle mahine.. 2 saal ho chuka hai.. in do saalon mei bohot dhoondh chuke hai hum sab unhe.. nehi mila hai koi bhi hume.. na hi Daya.. na
baki ke cops..
Salunkhe sir: tumhara matlab hai.. HQ aab Daya ko officially... he could not complete the sentence..
Acp sir: ruk kyu gaya? bol na.. haa.. HQ aab us mission mei geye hue under cover cops ko.. jo lapata hai.. unko officially dead announce kar denge... and saying
this he broke out in tears.. Salunkhe sir was suffering from lack of words to console his friends...
Acp sir controlled himself..
Acp sir: dimag mujhe samjha raha tha is aanjam ke liye taiyar hone ke liye.. par dil.. dil nehi man raha tha.. aab mai kya karu yaar? bureau mei sab ko dekhta
hu.. sab kam karte hai.. par sabhi aapne Daya sir ko miss karte hai.. yeh baat saaf pata chalta hai.. aur.. aur Abhijeet.. wo to har ek pal ginta hai.. ki abhi Daya
ajyega.. abhi ajeyga.. mai use kya use kya kahunga re?
Salunkhe sir: boss please... stop it.. please stop it..
Acp sir(wiped his tears): maine Abhijeet ko nehi bataya yeh sab kuch.. kisiko bhi nehi bataya... bas tujhe hi bataya abhi.. tu dhyan rakhna ki Abhijeet ko kisi bhi
tarha pata na chal jaye..
Salunkhe sir: nehi pata chalega boss.. par woh bachha bohot aas laga kar baitha hai ki uska bhai uske pas lautega.. par use sachhai pata chalega to.. woh
kaise sambhalega?
Acp sir: pichli bar Daya tha use sambhalne ke liye.. aab mujhe nehi pata kya hoga.. sach mei nehi pata..
Salunkhe sir patted his shoulder.. "hume mazboot rehena hoga boss.. agar hum toot jayenge.. to Abhijeet ko (stressing) jinda bachana mushkil ho jayega.. jis
tarha se woh joor gaya hai Daya se.. pata nehi kaise"..
Acp sir nodded.. "maine to sari jimmedari (pointing Durga's idol) unhi pe chor dia hai.. wohi sambhalengi aapne bete ko.. mujhe kuch nehi pata"..
Salunkhe sir closed his eyes.."Maa raksha karna"...
Salunkhe sir: chalo Pradyuman.. udher.. sab hai udher.. Abhijeet bhi..
Acp sir: haa. chalo..
they started talking to others.. each and everyone was asking about their dear Daya sir, Daya bhaiya, Daya beta, Daya chachu..
And Acp sir and Salunkhe sir were giving them the false assurance that Daya would be come back..
after some time...
Salunkhe sir: Pradyuman.. yeh Abhijeet kaha gaya?
Acp sir: haa.. mai bhi tujhse yehi puchne aa raha tha.. dekha nehi usse yaha kahi bhi.. andar hai kya?'
Salunkhe sir: nehi.. abhi mai aandar se ho kar aara ha hu.. nehi hai woh udher..
they heard a soft little voice..
"aap log Abhijeet bhaiya ko dhoodh rehe ho Dada?"
Acp sir smiled and picked that little angel in his arms..
Acp sir: haa Mitul beta.. aapko pata hai woh kaha hai?
Mitul(sadly): chale geye..
Salunkhe sir: chale geye?
Mitul: haa.. maine kitna bulaya.. Abhijeet bhaiya.. Abhijeet bhaiya.. par woh sune hi nehi... daudhte hue chale geye..
Acp sir kissed on her cheeks.. "sayed unhe koi jarrori kaam yaad aa gaya hoga beta.. is liye chale geye.. achha unhe wapas aane do.. mai unhe khub dant
dunga.. humare Mitul ko bina bataye woh kaise ja sakte hai?"
Mitul: nehi nehi mat dantna.. nehi to Daya bhaiya aake aapko dante denge.. par Daya bhaiya aayenge kab?
Acp sir put her down from his lap..
Acp sir: aajeyenge beta.. jao.. tum ja kar khelo..
Mitul: ok.. par aap unhe kehena ki woh jaldi aajeye.. thik hai?
Acp sir smiled and said.. "thik hai".. Mitul went from there with her small steps..
Salunkhe sir: Pradyuman kya tum bhi wohi soch rehe ho jo mai soch raha hu?
Acp sir: Salunkhe .. kahi humara shaq sahi na hho jaye.. agar aisa hua to bohot bari garbar ho jayegi yaar.. bohot bari garbar..
HERE THE DOOR GOT OPENED WITH FULL FORCE..
The man entered like a storm.. and immidietely went to a room..
and called "Dayaaa"..
he was breathing heavily.. sweat drops were covering his forehead.. and he was standing.. holding the room door.. after some moment he came near a
drawer.. took out his brother's photo frame.. and started staring at that..
He sat down on the floor.. the frame was still present in his hand.. he started talking with him..
Abhijeet: Daya.. dekh na yaar.. Acp sir kya kya bol rehe hai.. pagal ho geye hai woh pura.. uppss.. sorry sorry.. woh humare sir hai.. unke bare mei aisa nehi
kehena chahiye na.. par mai kya karu yaar? kya sab bakwas kar rehe hai woh..
Sir bol rehe hai.. sir bol rehe hai ki tu aab nehilautega.. nehi lautega mere pas..
he started laughing loudly... very loudly..
aisa kabhi ho bhi sakta hai? Daya nehi lautega aapne Abhi ke pas.. tu hi bol na.. aisa kabhi ho sakta hai? tu bol kar gaya tha na.. tu jaldi aajeyga.. laut tu ek
bar.. 10-12 thappar na maru mai na.. to chayn nehi mera.. yeh jaldi hai tera haa? 2 saal.. 2 saal ho gaya.. tu to lautne ka naam hi nehi leta..
he grabbed the frame more tightly..
Achha.. ek bata bata.. mai tujhe bura to nehi lagta hu na.. nehi na.. nehi na.. haa? nehi lagta hu na.. fir? fir tu kyu itna late kar raha hai? kyu yaar? baki logo ko
kuch bhi kehena ka mauka kyu de raha hai?
kya kya bol rehe hai Acp sir.. (smiled) par tu na bilkul tension mat kar.. tera Abhi is sab pe.. bilkul biswas nehi karega.. bilkul bhi nehi.. tera Abhi to sirf Maa
Durgaa pe biswas karta hai.. tere jaisa.. hai na.. achha kia na maine... tu lautega na Daya.. haa? bol na.. lautega na tu.. jaldi hi lautega na tu Daya.. aare bol

muskurata reheta hai.. aaj tujhe bolna hi parega.. bolna hi parega.. aur haa.. bas haa hi bolega.. naa nehi bolega.. samjha.. haa to bol.. aa raha hai na tu.. aa

(loudly) kya hua bola na.. (shouting) sunai nehi de rahi hai tujhe? kuch puch raha hu mai tujhseee.. aa raha hai na? (tears started making its way) jawab de..
aa raha hai na.. kuch bolta kyu nehi? (he burst out in crying) kuch bolta kyu nehi hai tu? aa raha hai na?
he hugged the frame tightly... aa raha hai na? mere pas? he hide his head in his brother's ever smiling photo frame...
"Boss dekho na.. kaisa lag raha hu mai?"
Daya asked Abhijeet.. but got no answer.. so he shook his head.. and hugged him from behind..
Daya: kya hua mere Abhi ko?
Abhijeet came back from his trench of thought..
Abhijeet: kuch nehi..
Daya turned him towards him..
Daya: kya boss aaj puja ke din.. wo bhi Mahastami ke din.. tum aise udas chehera bana rakhhe ho? kya hua?
Abhijeet: bola na kuch nehi.. (he tried to smiled) kitna payara lag raha hai mera Raja..
Daya smiled shyly..
Daya: offo boss.. mai sharma raha hu..
Abhjeet smiled but.. again became tensed.. Daya noticed that..
Daya(softly): Abhi.. kya hua hai? bolo na mujhe..
Abhijeet could not resist himself from open up..
Abhijeet(cupped Daya's cheek): Daya.. paa nehi re.. kyu mujhe kuch ajjeb sa feel ho raha hai.. aisa lag raha hai ki kuch bura.. kuch unhoni hone wala hai.. mai samjh
nehi pa raha hu kyu.. par mujhe aisa lag raha hai..
Daya: hmm.. tum nehi samjh rehe ho.. par mai samjh rahahu.. Abhijeet looked at him.. kal raat ko koi bura sapna dekha tumne?
Abhijeet became surprised..
Abhijeet: tujhe kaise pata?
Daya: hmmmm.. mujhe le kar dekha?
Abhijeet looked down and just shook his head in yes..
Daya hugged him instantly..
Daya: is liye mere bhaiya itna pareshan hai.. bas simple..
Abhijeet(hugged him too): nehi Daya.. yeh koi peheli bar hai jo mai bura sapna dekha hai.. aisa ho jata hai kabhi kabhi.. par aisa unknown feeling kabhi nehi hoti hai
yaar..
Daya: kya boss tum bhi.. bacho jaisi soch rehe ho.. agar mai aisa sochta to tum mujhe darwaza ke pas murga bana dete..
Abhijeet patted on his head.. and seaparated.. "chup kar"..
Daya laughed lightly.. "kuch bhi nehi hoga boss.. sabn thik hoga.. Puja ke din to aur bhi sab achha hoga.. dekhna.. aab chalo mandap mei chalte hai.. "
DAYA'S PHONE WAS RINGING.. DURING SANDHI PUJA...
Abhijeet looked at him with irritated expression.. Daya made a sorry face and went aside to attend the call..
The puja of 48 mins.. taking 24 mins from the end of the Mahastami Tithi and 24 mins from the begining of Maha Navami Tithi... was finished..
Abhijeet saw Daya was standing with a sad face.. he came to him..
Abhijeet: kya hua Daya?
Daya(sadly): bossss...
Abhijeet: kya?
Daya: Acp sir ka call tha.. mujhe aaj raat ko hi ek mission ke liye nikal na hai..
Abhijeet: kya? par aise kaise? tu to leave par hai na..
Daya: haa.. par yeh to undercover mission hai..
Abhijeet: aare to kya? ruk.. mai Acp sir ko bol deta hu ki tu nehi.. mai jaunga.. mai tujhe nehi jane dunga.. aise hi subha se kuch thik nehi...
Daya(softly): Abhiii... aisa mat socho please.. kuch nehi hoga.. achha dekho.. mere taraf dekho.. he lifted Abhijeet's face up..jane to parega na..
Abhijeet was going to say something but Daya stopped him..
Daya: kuch nehi hoga boss.. kuch nehi hoga.. Maa kar ashirwad aur tumhara payar sath le kar hi ja raha hu na.. mujhe bhala kya ho sakta hai? tum bilkul pareshan mat hona.. mai wapas aunga jaroor..
Abhijeet(angry): kya matlab.. wapas aaunga jaroor? wapas nehi ayega to kaha jayega haa? fazool bakwas karta hai? dunga ek khinchke..
Daya: ok.. ok ok boss.. mai yeh kehena cha raha tha ki mai jaldi wapas aa jaunga.. bas.. thik hai na aab?
Abhijeet shook his head..
Daya: aab muskurao Boss.. jane do mujhe..
Abhijeet smiled and cupped his face..
Abhijeet: dhyan rakhna aapna samjha..
Daya: je bilkul.. and he gave him a tight hug..
Abhijeet: chal mai bhi chalta hu tere sath..
Daya: nehi nehi Abhijeet.. tum raho yaha par.. mai.. tum dono chale jayenge to.. sab dhoondhenge na.. tum raho.. mai chala jaunga.. aur chinta mat karo.. mai tumse
contact kar lunga situation samjhke.. hmm..
Abhijeet again nodded..
Daya sat on the car.. Abhijeet was standing on the passenger side window..
Daya: aa.. boss aur ek baat.. agar mai na lautu to yeh Puja band mat hone dena please.. tum pe chor kar jaa raha hu.. and saying this he ignited the car and drove off
instantly... giving no chance to Abhijeet to say anything..
Abhijeet stood there like a stachue..
Abhijeet: yeh kya bola tune Daya? kyu bola?
A tear drop fell down from his eye..
Abhijeet: kal aur ek Astami Puja ke din hai Daya.. aur ek Sandhi Puja ka din.. tu gaya tha isi din.. kal mai tera intezar karunga.. yah to tu lautega.. nehi to mai
chala jaunga tere pas...
