Story:

The alarm buzzed and Abhijeet turned it off and murmured to himself "raat kab gujer gayi pata hi nahi chala" he went to the washroom and splashed water on his face...his tired eyes gave a burning sensation with the touch of water. He looked up in the mirror...he met the face is it really that Abhijeet everyone knew?

He jerked his head and after freshening up moved out of the guest room.

he was about to move out of the house completely when Ankita came out with "nasta to ker lijiye..kal raat ko bhi apne kuch nahi khaya tha"

Abhijeet didn't reply but was busy in calling someone, the doorbell rang. Abhijeet knew who it was so opened the door and said "file le liya?"

"ha..pehle court chlte hey fir informer se milke bureau niklenge" answered Daya..Abhijeet nodded both were about to move out when Ankita said "Daya sir aap bhi breakfast ker lijiye aur apne dost ko bhi kahiye unhone raat ko bhi kuch nahi khaya tha"

Daya nodded with "thanks per mein nasta ker ke aya hu..Abhijeet cahe to.."

Abhijeet was looking at him in pain

He lost in past…

FLASHBACK STARTED

duo have to move to STF then to bureau so Daya came early to pick up Abhijeet and both were discussing something about case when Abhijeet was arranging his belongings, both were about to move out when Tarika came out from kitchen with two trays as "dono pehle nasta karo fir bhagna jaha jana hey"

Abhijeet replied "Tarika late ho jayega pls..hum raste mey kerlenge acha ruko" he picks up two toast and said "khalenge ok bye" he was about to move out when Tarika said "Abhijeet tum akele hi jaoge STF?"

Abhijeet turned to see Daya sitting with breakfast "abey khane kiu baith gaya?"

"Tarika ne itne pyar se bulaya..aur rishte mey wo bhabi lagti hey aur ache devar ka farz hey bhabi jo bhi banaye khake tareef kerna cahiye aur.."

Abhijeet completed the sentence with "khane ke mamle mey mein har farz nibhata hu" Daya nodded as his mouth was full with the French omelet.

Abhijeet patted his head and sat with "mein bhi kha hi leta hu"

Tarika smilingly replied "thats a good boy"

FLASHBACK ENDS

Abhijeet jerked with "nahi mein nikalta hu,chalo Daya"

and both moved out. Ankita stood still till the noise of their car disappeared them murmured "mujhe jo cahiye wo to mein hasil kerke hi rahungi.."

Abhijeet got down from his car in the bureau parking he saw Tarika also coming down from her car..both looked at each other..silence speaks between them..

"tum raat bhari nahi soyi hey na?ankhe dekhi hey apni?sujh gayi hey"

"tum bhi to jagte rehte ho..tumhara yeah thaka hua cehra bahut dard deti hey Abhijeet..apne liya na to mere liye hi sahi khud ka khayal rakho"

"nahi hota mujse Tarika..mujhe tumhare sahare ki jarurat hey..bahut jarurat hey.."

"mein bhi kaunsa tumse dur rehna cahti hu..per jindegi ne faisla ker liya hume durr kerne ka"

"tum bas mera saath dedo duniya se lar lunga mein."

"I know Abhijeet per Ankita? Uska haq kaise cheen sakti hu mein?"

"nahi Tarika uss haq ki haqder serf tum ho..pls tum mera saath mat choro.."

Salunkhe sir also arrives with his car and found abhirika looking at each other. He moves forward called "Tarika" Tarika came out of her trance with a jerk and looked towards Salunkhe who ordered as "lab chalo" and waited till Tarika turned to go..as usual he avoided Abhijeet and followed Tarika.

A tear escaped from Abhijeet's eye but he hurriedly wiped it away and made his way to bureau

A case was reported, during interrogation the wife says "mere pati ne mujhe chor ke dusri shaadi ker li aur aab mujhe pehchanne se bhi inkar kerta hey"

she was in the forensic lab for one of her blood test required for investigation...dr Salunkhe commented "yeah to aj kal ka fashion hey"

Abhijeet looked up at dr. Salunkhe and stood frozen to his place for some minutes..his mind goes back to the incident of two months ago..

Flashback starts

It was a saturday and abhirika were at beach enjoying each other's company...when suddenly ACP sir called and ordered both of them to move to bureau.

They reached bureau within an hour and found some other officers also present there. As soon as they entered the first thing Abhijeet noticed was the sad face of Freddy and tensed face of ACP then he look around to find Daya in his full anger mood and dr. Salunkhe a bit tensed, somewhat nervous and something else he can't define.

He asked in concern "sir koi problem?"

ACP sir looked at him and nodded..his expression actually scared Abhijeet internally..

He asked "sir..baat kya hey?"

ACP sir handed him some papers..he took those in confusion and again looks around..Tarika was also looking at the peak of confusion and Purvi was standing beside her with down head.

Abhijeet glanced at those papers his facial colors changed..from tensed to disbelief..then confusion and ended in somewhat scared expression.

He look up with "sir yeah sab..mujhe...mein..yeah.." he was at loss of words..he looked around.. Tarika is looking at him with questioning eyes.. He turns to ACP with "sir mein.."

ACP sir nodded helplessly. Dr. Salunkhe said in a stern tone "unn witness o ko aur uss register ko bulaya gaya hey.."

Abhijeet stammered "sir mujhe..kuch.."

"17saal se pehle ki baat hey tum to roshni kuch dal nahi sakoge.." the sarcasicm in his tone didn't go unnoticed by anyone..Tarika frowned and Daya said harshly "sir aab tak kuch sabit nahi hua..aur hoga bhi to isme kisi ki galti nahi keh sakte aap"

dr. Salunkhe would have continued but ACP ordered "Salunkhe pls filhal chup raho..hum sab pehle hi kaafi pareshan hey"

the old doctor immediately looked at his friend. "tum sab serf pareshan hoge per meri bachi ki to jindegi bikher jayegi na?" his tone is harsh but teary..

Abhijeet unintentionally take back steps and gave a pleading glance to Tarika and ACP.

Tarika came forward with "sir akhir baat kya hey?"

Abhijeet looked at Tarika "Tarika yeah sab.."

Daya kept a hand over his shoulder and Tarika came forward to have a look at those papers..she read those and looked up at others with tearful eyes...just then Sachin Rajat entered with "sir unn sare witness ka kehna hey ki yeah aurat sach bol rahi hey..aj se 18 saal pehle bakehi iski shaadi Abhijeet sir se ho chuki hey..court ki papers se bhi yeahi pata chlta hey..aur yeah photos bhi sahi hey..humne yeah sare information unofficial basis pey nikala hey taki media tak baat na pahuche..per sare saboot ki anusar yeah bakehi Mrs. Ankita Abhijeet Shrivastav hey."

FLASHBACK ENDS

Abhijeet came back to present with a touch on his shoulder he looked back at the person..with blank expression.. Freddy asked "sir aap thik?" he nodded and looked around Freddy continued "sir ACP sir ne hum sab ko gher jane ko kaha"

He murmured "gher?"

Freddy nodded with "ha daya sir ACP sir ke saath HQ gaye hey aap.."

He stoped him with "mein chala jayunga"

And he left from the lab.. freddy murmured "na jane uperwala har sache dil ki itni imtehan kiu lete hey"
