He was literally stuffing all his clothes and accessories inside his bag. There were sweat drops on his forehead. A fear was gripping his heart. What if they reach here?

He shook his head not wanting to think about any uneven situations. When he was done with the packing, he put his jacket on and wore his backpack.

"Sab leliye." He whispered to himself while looking around but when was going to move out collided with a very familiar person on the door-step. The person was standing there calmly. Though, his red, swollen eyes were easily noticeable. He noticed them too. He felt guilty and horrified at the same time. So he took two steps back, basically due to fear. Yeah, he was afraid of the person standing in front of him. He gripped over his bag strap tightly. The person was just staring at him not saying anything. Both were waiting for each other to say something. But none of them did so the person spoke.

"ACP sir ne hum donoko bureau bulaya hai."

He looked at the figure in surprise. He wasn't expecting such calm behaviour. More likely an harsh statement. But when the person left from there he followed behind silently.


CID BUREAU

Both of them were waiting in the bureau main hall for ACP of Mumbai. There was an awkward silence between them. One was sitting with his head hung down whereas the other was looking at him in annoyance.

"Kal kahan the tum Abhijeet?" Daya spoke after a long time.

Abhijeet turned his head towards him with a jerk. "Kaun?..M..mai?"

He looked at him in anger. "Yahan kisi aur ka naam Abhijeet hai?" With this Abhijeet again moved his head down. "I am sorry. Vo..zara kaam tha."

"Kaam tha! Sunliya sabne?" ACP spoke in anger standing behind both of them. All the officers and Daya, Abhijeet stood up listening to him, when heard more as. "Kaam tha inhe! Humari raaton ki neend udakar khud kai gayab ho gae." He turned towards Abhijeet."Jaan khatre mein hai tumhari aur tumhare saath saath Daya ki bhi, iss baat ka ehsaas hai tumhe? Mazak lagta hai tumhe yeh sab haan? Agar itna hi aasan lagta hai sabkuch toh aae hi kyun mere paas? Khudhi jaake nipat lete sabse. Kyun?" Abhijeet was standing there facing the floor which made ACP sir more angry. He shouted again. "Ab yeh sar jhukakar mat khade raho. Bolo kahan the?"

Abhijeet flinched with this tone. Everyone else present there, including Daya, felt bad for him but couldn't help him in anyway. He tried to speak in a straight tone but he was so afraid that his voice came out in broken words.

"Si-sir vo..Vo uss chip..uss chip ko khatra..Issliye..issliye..mai." He bit his lips as he didn't want to appear this weak infront of everyone. He sighed with teary eyes and wiped his hand over his face. ACP sir breathed heavily whereas Daya was unaware of everything.

ACP sir moved towards Abhijeet and placed a hand over his shoulder. "I am sor-"

Abhijeet interrupted. "No..no sir, please."

ACP sir nodded. "Batao kahan the tum."

He took a deep breath before speaking again. "Sir uss chip ko maine jahan chupaya tha, vahanse use lene gaya tha. Agar unn logonko vo chip mil jaati toh, bahot bura ho jaata."

ACP sir nodded again. "Iss waqt kahan hai vo chip?"

Abhijeet removed something from behind of his right ear and handed it to ACP sir. ACP sir gave it to one of his officer ordering him to check it. He then looked over at duo and sighed.

"Abhijeet vo.." ACP sir spoke with hesitation. "Rahul ab un logonke kabze mein hai. Uske behen ki ussike ghar mein laash mili hai hume."

Abhijeet was taken aback. One more life destroyed?

"Shravani ki ?"

ACP sir nodded with his head hung down. Abhijeet's face was devoid of any emotions. He whispered. "Maine kahan tha Rahul se ki mujhse contanct na kar..fir bhi vo.." He closed his eyes in pain while some precious drops of water fell down from his eyes. Daya was listening to all of this silently. He was shocked too by the new information. He glanced at Abhijeet. He wondered how many such deaths have this guy seen in his entire life, if he was Daya wrong about him earlier, or if he's wrong about him now. He wondered.

"Aap ek kaam kyun nahi karte sir?" Abhijeet spoke catching attention of everyone. "Sidha mujhe hi kyun maar nahi dete aap? Kissa hi khatam ho jaega. Kisi aur ki jaan jaegi hi nahi?" His voice was so filled with hatred and anger that everyone standing their didn't know how to react to him.

"Tum achi tarah se jaante ho kyun." ACP sir spoke with a straight face.

Abhijeet grabbed his bag. "Mujhe meri majudgi se nafrat hone lagi hai sir. Mujhe mere wajood se nafrat hone lagi hai, chahe vo mere jeene ki wajah hi kyun na ho."

And he moved from there with fast steps. Daya called him from behind thinking it isn't safe for him to roam outside but ACP sir stopped him as, "Jaane do use. Vo nahi manega."

Daya glanced at him. He was also feeling great anger rising inside of him. ACP sir understood it very well.

"Kuch nahi hoga use, mere officers hai uske piche. Tum zara meri cabin mein chalo. Tumse kuch zaruri baat karni hai."

Daya nodded with same expressions and followed him.
