Chapter 4 – Sadness – Dadar Choupati (Mumbai)

The place as usual quite crowded….. as it always…. Some peoples are roaming around…. Some are seating on sand… In this crowd, two peoples also had taken a place on sand…. The place is quite a side…..the coats taken out and place on nearby rock…. Loosen tie….. Showing that they are some senior persons in their origination….. of course they are… One of them is the genius doctor head of the Forensic department of CID Mumbai….. and other one is tough fight for all cuprites brain…. ACP of CID Mumbai…..

The forensic expert must be in very irritated mood… and the Assistants commissioner trying his best to sooth him…

Salunkhe in irritation: dekho ACP tum aapne uss officer ko samaja do aage se agar ussane meri lab me aake aaisi koi harkat ki na toh mai usse shoot kar dunga….

ACP smiles on his irritated friend…. Ya he knows that every time its his officer who really create a mess in his friends life….. but its just for fun… but the doctors reaction always make him smile…..

Salunkhe look at ACP's smile and gets more irritated: aah tum usse kuch kue kehene lage bhala….. tumhara ladla joh hai…

ACP trying his best to control on his laughter: dekh Salunkhe tum ussper kuch jada hi garam ho jate ho…

Salunkhe give angry look: dekh ACP ek toh woh meri lab me aata hai…. upper se meri hi assistance se mere hi khilaf bate karta hai…. meri girlfriend ke kisse sab ko sunata hai….. or aaj toh had hi ho gayi….. musase mere balo ke bareme sawal puch liya… himaat kaise hue usaki…..

ACP in calm tone: Salunkhe girlfriend or baal toh bahana hai….. tum joh Abhijeet pe ghuss ho na ussaka sabse bada reason I think yeh hai ki tum Tarika se pyaar karte ho…..

Salunkhe become silent… yes that's the main reason Abhijeet always peace off him… because somewhere deep inside the heart he loves Tarika…. Just like his daughter….. and as every daughter's father did not like the boy who takes as important place as he has… he also did not like that Abhijeet is becomes important in Tarika's life as He is…

Salunkhe accept it: haan Pradyuman bat toh tumari sahi hai…. per kya karu Tarika ek dum mere beti jasi hai….. yaar life me yeh ek khwahish toh reh hi gayi iss forensic ke chakkr me….. kabhi shadi nahi kar paya….. jab karni chahiye thi tab inn kitabo me kho gaya…. or jab karni chahi toh koi aaisa nahi mila jisase dil jud jaye… waise toh life me bohot assistance aaye….. per Tarika alag hai….. usska care concern learning nature… kahi na kahi muse aapne assistant wale din yaad dilate hai….. I feel she is reflection of mine….. per jab tumhara woh Snr Insp aata hai na…..

ACP pats on his shoulder just to stop him: haan haan pata hai….. tumhe nahi acha lagata ki koi tumare officers ke bareme kuch bole….. khas karke Daya or Abhijeet ke bareme…

ACP sing heavy heartedly: dekh salukhe tum kabhi aapni family basa nahi paye….. or meri basi basayi family ka kya hua yeh toh tumhe pata hi hai….. aaj bhi yakon nahi hota ki Nakul mera aapna Nakul aaisa kam bhi kar sakata hai… woh meri parchayi tha….. he is just like me… ussaka brain bilkul meri tarah tha… ek dum sharp….. per bas ussane usse istamal galat jagah kiya….. galati meri thi ussaki maa ki ya ussaki khud ki….. yeh toh nahi pata per saja hum teeno ko mili… ussake peheli bar ghar chodke London jane ke failsale ne hi ussaki maa ko tod diya… usske bad jab usski mout hue toh woh bhi mere hatho….. toh woh muse kabhi maf kar hi nahi payi… or me humesha humesha ke liye aapne bête ko marne wala ek pathar dil baap nahi ACP ban gaya…..

Salunkhe place his hand on ACP's shoulder: Pradyuman tum pathar dil nahi ho….. muse pata hai…..

ACP: Salunkhe ab nahi hue per shayad ho jata… jis pal woh goliya chali meri banduk se ussi pal ho jata… per uss din maine ek beta khoya or do naye bête paaye… uss pure case me joh wishwas unn dono ne musper dikhaya… usse me kabhi nahi bhuil sakta….. mere hath banke woh dono humesha mere sath kade hue hai… ussake baad kabhi iss dil ne bête ki kami nahi mehsus ki… kue ki ussme woh jagah yeh dono huk se le chuke the…. Musase bina puche…. Per fir bhi Nakul ka dard mere dilse kabhi nahi ja skata….

ACP move forward to place his empty tea glass on tea stall… when Salunkhe take first sip of the tea… and his mouth turn with a bitter test…. He feels that Glass must contain some salt which now merge with his extra sweet tea and that extra sweet tea turns to a bitter one…

Sometimes salt me spoil the thing which you love so much… like sadness in heart spoils all your happy movements…..
