CHAPTER 6

AT ACP SIR HOUSE

ACP sir woke up. It was around 9:00 am in the morning. He slowly got up from the bed and went to the bathroom, to get fresh. After that he came to hall but Abhijeet was not there nor the breakfast. He thought maybe today is Sunday that's why he is still sleeping or maybe he was tired. but still he find something fishy, so he went to his room. He found him sleeping, he heaved a sigh of relief but his trembling hands caught his attention. He went near to him and found him restless. He put his hand on his forehead and to his horror Abhijeet was burning in fever. He became so tense. He cover up him properly with blanket and ran to his room. He picked up the cell phone and dialed Salunkhe sir number. He tried at least 4 to 5 times but all the time Salunkhe sir didn't response.

ACP: Shit! Ye Salunkhe bhi na, aaj Sunday kia hai janaab abhi tak uthe hi nahi hain. ab kia karoon?

His thoughts were disturb with the sound of his phone ringing. Salunkhe sir was calling back. He hurriedly picked up the phone

Salunkhe: Had hoti hai boss, matlab ab koi sukoon se bathroom bhi nahi jaa bhi...he was interrupted by ACP sir

ACP: Salunkhe to jaldi se mere ghar aaja yaar , Abhijeet ko bahut high fever hai .

Salunkhe: Acha boss tum pareshan mat ho mai bas abhi 10 se 15 min mein phaunchta hoon. Jab tak tum us ka khayal rakho.

ACP sir cut the call. He went back to Abhijeet room with a bowl of cold water and a cloth. He still found him shivering. He caressed his hairs and said

ACP: Beta pareshan mat ho. sab theek ho jaye ga. He checked his temperature with a thermometer. it was showing 103. He with a worried face started applying the wet cloth on his burning forehead.

After some time someone banged the door. ACP sir ran to the door. He found Salunkhe sir standing there.

Salunkhe:(making his way to Abhijeet room) Kaisa hai ab?

ACP: Fever to utarne ka naam hi nahi le raha.103 hai.

Salunkhe: Tum pareshan mat ho , mai dekhta hoon.

Both entered inside his room . Salunkhe sir without wasting a second started doing his treatment, while ACP sir was just remain standing there by the door. After Salunkhe sir was done, he turned to ACP and said

Salunkhe: Han fever to kafi high injection de diya hai. Jab yeh uthe to isse kuch kilane pilane ke baad paracetamol group ki koi tablet de dena. He needs complete rest.

ACP: Thank you so much yaar Salunkhe.

Salunkhe:(while his patting back) Arre ab tum bhi thanks bolo ge. Dostoon ke beech sorry ya thank you hota hai bhala.

ACP: Acha chalo mein tumhare liye breakfast ready karta hun .

Salunkhe: Nahi yaar woh to main ghar jaa kar karloonga. Tum Abhijeet ke pass jao. Uss ka aur apna khayal rakhna...hmm.

And he left the house. ACP went back to Abhijeet room. He was looking a bit relaxed now. He waited there till he came back into consciousness. After watching him regaining consciousness he went near to him, gently put his hand on his head and asked in soft tone

ACP: Kaise tabiyat hai ab mere bete ki?

In response Abhijeet tried to sit but he failed due to weakness. He was still looking in semi-conscious state. ACP sir helped him to sit properly. When he again looked up at Abhijeet he was shocked to see that he was crying...some silent tears were rolling down on his cheek. ACP sir immediately secured him in his hug. He was still sobbing

ACP:(in an anxious tone) Beta aise ro mat. tumhari tabiyat aur kharab ho jaye gi. kisi ne tumhein kuch kaha hai kia?

Abhijeet:(in lost tone and still sobbing) Kia mere ...mom dad ko... mujh se bilkul bhi... piyaar nahi ...tha ... jo unhoon ne... mujhe aik ...orphanage ...mein daal diya?

ACP sir heart pinched badly after listening this and some tears were formed in his eyes. ACP sir tighten his grip on him. He knew that today he spoke what he was holding in his heart for a long time. ACP sir was dumb at the moment. he didn't know what is the answer of that question. He looked at Abhijeet who was again drifted into sleep. He rested his head on his lap and start ruffling his hair. Soon he too drifted into sleep.

After some time Abhijeet woke up. He was still feeling pain in his head. He somehow managed to sit but his head was giving him a hard time. Suddenly a severe shot of pain blew up in his head and an"Ahhhhhhhh" esacped from his mouth. ACP sir with a jerk open his eyes. He saw Abhijeet sitting on the corner of the bed holding his head while he was holding the bed from the other hand.

ACP: Arre tum uth gaye...mujhe bhi utha dete.

Abhijeet: (in a weak voice) woh aap ...soo rahe the... to maine socha... aap... ko disturb... na karoon.

ACP: (getting up from the bed) chalo tum fresh ho jao phir kuch kha ke medicine le lena.

He helped him in getting fresh . After this he came with a light meal.

ACP: Chalo kuch khalo phir medicine kha lena.

And he start feeding him with his own hands. After 2 to 3 bites Abhijeet said

Abhijeet: Bas ab aur... dil nahi...chah raha.

ACP: Acha chalo ab medicines khalo.

He gave him the medicines. He gulped down his medicines.

ACP: Chalo ab tum rest karo.

Abhijeet: Phir rest ...itni der se to ...soo hi raha tha.

ACP: Acha chalo mat so lekin abhi bistar par hi raho.

ACP sir sat next to him on the bed. They were doing a light chit chat. But ACP sir was still feeling really sad for him.
