Preetz-Chawlleee sis for the last short chapter ….. but m glad you liked you'll like this one too.

Thank you to all others for reading and reviewing.

Let's move to the chapter.

Next Morning…..CID Bureau

All were busy in their respective works. Abhijeet was also busy in his work but still he was a bit worried. He kept looking at the landline phone of bureau and also his mobile hoping for Daya's call. Sachin noticed him and went towards him.

Sachin- Sir…..Kya baat hai ? Kal shaam se dekh raha hu aap pareshan hai. Daya Sir mission pe hi toh gaye hain. Aap is baar itne pareshan kyun hai ?

Abhijeet- Sachin, Main Daya ke is mission pe jaaane se itna pareshan nahi hu….jitna main is baat se pareshan hu ki hume is baare mein pata tak nahi tha. Jab hum sab Tarika ke ghar pe baithe the , achanak se ACP Sir ka phone aaya aur Daya nikal gaya. Aisa kabhi nahi hua Sachin.

Sachin(kept his hand on his shoulder)- Sir…..ho sakta hai koi secret mission ho jispe Daya Sir ko akele hi jaana ho. Sir sab theek hoga.

Abhijeet(slightly smiled)- Haan ….Sab kuch theek hona bhi chahiye. Ho sakta hai kuch bahut zaruri kaam ho.

Meanwhile , the bureau's phone rang and there was new case and all were busy in solving the case. They got many clues and now were on the point where only forensic reports could help them. DrSalunkhe told them that they'll get the report by next morning. So, the day ended on a casual note.

Parking Lot …..

Abhijeet moved towards his car , or rather , Daya's Qualis. Freddy saw him worried again.

Freddy – Abhijeet Sir…! Zara Rukiye…!

Abhijeet turned to him…

Abhijeet- Haan Freddy bolo ….

Freddy- Sir…..Aaj aap akele hai na. Chaliye na ….aaj aap mere ghar pe dinner kijiye.

Abhijeet(fake smile)- Nahi Freddy…..fir kisi din. Aaj main bahut thak gaya hu.

Freddy- Sir…..Main sab jaanta hu. Please Sir…..Aaj Manisha ne kuch special banaya hai. Wo bhi aapko dekh ke khush ho jayegi. Wo toh subah hi keh rahi thi ki tum Abhijeet Sir se kehna ki wo aaj ka dinner hamare saath karein.

Abhijeet(smiled)-Freddy….Bhabhi ko thank you bolna meri taraf se. Aur kehna ki Main aur Daya saath mein aayenge unke haath ka special khana khane .

Freddy – Arey Sir…..chalo na…!

Abhijeet- Freddy…..Maine kaha na …aaj (but was cut by a sweet voice)

Voice- Jab Freddy Sir keh rahe hain toh chale jao na unke saath. Tum ghar jaoge aur udaas baithoge. Isse behtar ye hai ki tum Freddy Sir ke saath jao.

Abhijeet turned and was surprised to find Tarika.

Abhijeet- TarikaJi….Aap bhi?

Tarika(smiled)- Haan Main….chalo ab jao Freddy Sir ke request kar rahe hai wo.

Abhijeet(smiled- Acha theek hai toh aap bhi chaliye.

Tarika(hesitated)- Main….main kaise ?

Freddy(smiled)- Chaliye …..waise maine socha tha ki aane wale Sunday ko sabko dinner pe bulaunga lekiin Daya Sir Monday ko aayenge. Tab tak Abhijeet Sir aur aap toh chaliye.

Tarika(Smiled)- Lekin Feddy Sir ….(but was cut by Abhijeet)

Abhijeet- Ab ye final hai ki aap bhi chal rahi hai TarikaJi….Chalo Freddy !

Freddy and Tarika smiled and they headed towards Freddy's home. Freddy's wife was happy to see Abhijeet and Tarika. She greeted them and then she went to lay the dinner table. Tarika also went to help her.

Soon , they were relishing the delicious dinner prepared by Manisha.

Tarika- Manisha Bhabhi…..Khana toh main bhi bana leti hu par itna achcha toh nahi . Aap mujhe sikhaogi?

Manisha(Smiled)- Tarika….Mujhe pata hai tum bahut hi achcha khana bana leti ho. Kal toh Freddy bhi tumhare haath ka khane ki tareef kar rahe the.

Tarika(Smiled)- Ab Freddy Sir mere saamne toh tareef hi karenge na. Burai thodi karenge.

Freddy- Haan…Ab tum tareef ke layak kaam karti ho toh main toh tareef hi karunga. Aur rahi khana banane ki baat toh tumhare haath ka khana toh Abhijeet Sir ko pasand aana chahiye na. (he said this naughtily and looked at both Abhijeet and .)

Tarika was confused at this statement from Freddy while Abhijeet nodded his head until he realized what Freddy said. He just smiled. He checked the time and it showed 10 pm.

Abhijeet- Tarika….chale?

Tarika(Smiled)- Haan….!

They thanked Freddy and Manisha for dinner and left from there.

In the Car…..

A silence prevailed between them. He looked at her found her looking out of the window enjoying the cool wind. A smile made way on to his lips and he again concentrated on driving. Meanwhile , Tarika turned to him and found him smiling….

Tarika- Kya soch rahe ho Abhijeet?

Abhijeet- Kuch nahi. Bas ye soch raha tha ki aaj ka din toh beet gaya. Aage ke 6 din bhi nikal jaayein isi tarah.

Tarika- Abhijeet….Main jaanti thi ki tum ghar pe akele rahoge toh yahi sab sochoge isliye Freddy Sir ke kehne pe tumse kaha unke yahan jaane ke liye. Dekha kitne khush the wo.

Abhijeet(looked at her and smiled)- Haan….Freddy khush tha hi uske saath tum bhi khush thi.

Tarika(smiled)- Haan…Ab tum meri baat maanoge toh main khush hi hongi na.

Abhijeet- Agar mere aapki baat maanne se aap khush hongi toh main aapki har baat maanne ke liye taiyaar hu.(He said it casually)

While Tarika stared at him.

Tarika- Sach mein tum meri har baat maanoge?

Abhijeet(Smiled)- Haan…..Tum meri dost ho aur doston ki baatein toh maanni hi padegi.

Tarika(Smiled)- Okay ….toh theek hai. Tum kisi bhi tarah ki chinta mat karo. Aur ghar ja ke aaram karoge. Sab theek ho jayega.

Abhijeet(smiled)- Theek hai Tarika…..Koshish karunga.

With all these talks…they reached her home. Tarika stepped out and thanked him and asked him not to take tension. Abhijeet smiled and moved towards his home after ensuring that she was safe inside her home. He remembered her words…

Abhi's POV- Tarika har baat ka khayal rakhti hai. Jaise kal usne mujhe samjhaya waise shayad hi aaj tak kisi ne mujhe samjhaya hoga. Yahi toh khoobi hai uski."

He remembered her smile and a smile crept on his face too. He reached his home lost in her thoughts. He changed and lied on bed. He didn't even got to know when he drifted into sleep.

Next Morning ….

Abhijeet reached the bureau at 8:30 am. A smile was there on his face. All others looked at him and greeted him with a smile. Soon….all of them got engaged in their works.

Sachin and Abhijeet were discussing some case when DrSalunkhe entered the bureau. He was tensed and worried. He went straight to Tasha and Kajal.

DrS(tensed)- Tasha, Kajal …..Kya aaj subah se tum dono ne Tarika se baat ki kya ?

Tasha- Nahi toh Sir…..Kal shaam se hi meri Tarika se koi baat nahi hui.

DrS(looking towards Kajal)- Aur kajal tumne?

Kajal- Sir….Kal raat ko Tarika ka hi call aaya tha. Par hua kya hai Sir?

DrS- Main subah se Tarika ko call karne ki koshish kar raha hu par wo phone nahi utha rahi.

Abhijeet- Arey Sir…..Aa rahi hogi na….aap khamakha chinta kar rahe hai. Aa jayengi tarikaJi.

DrS- Nahi Abhijeet …wo ghar pe bhi nahi hai. Maine check kar liya.

Abhijeet(shocked)- Kya ? Ye aap kya keh rahe hai?

DrS- Haan Abhijeet…..Agar Tarika bureau ke liye nikli hoti toh ab tak aa jaati. Par hai kahan wo….10 baj chuki hai.

Abhijeet- Sir….kal raat ko toh maine Tarika ko uske ghar chhoda hai. Freddy ke kehne pe hum uske ghar gaye the. Maine check kiya tha koi problem nahi thi. Phir subah subah kahan chali gayi wo?

DrS- Wo subah jogging karne jaati hai…..uske baad bureau aati. Yahan par kisi ko nahi jaanti wo. Mujhe chinta ho rahi hai.

Abhijeet(firm voice)- Chinta mat kijiye DrSaab….Tarika ko main dhundh kar launga….kisi bhi haalat mein. Ye mera aapse waada hai.

DrS- Jaanta hu Abhijeet…bas thoda jaldi karo. Mujhe chinta ho rahi hai. Pata nahi kis haal mein hogi aur kaisi hogi wo.

Abhijeet(clenched his fist)- DrSaab…..Jisne bhi Tarika ko kuch bhi karne ki koshish ki na….usey main nahi chhodunga. Aur jo bhi iske peeche usey har haal mein dhundh lunga.

Sachin- Haan Sir…pehle hume ye pata lagana hoga ki Tarika ja kahan sakti hai.

Abhijeet- Tasha, Kajal….Tarika ka phone trace karo. Aur uski phone details bhi nikalwao. Pata toh chale ki hua kya hai.

Tasha and Kajal nodded and went back to their work. Abhijeet turned to DrSalunkhe and said….

Abhijeet- Sir….main jaanta hu ki jab tak tarika ka pata nahi lagega aap chain se reh nahi payenge. Par bharosa rakhiye ….main bahut jald Tarika ka pata laga lunga.

DrSalunkhe nodded and was about to leave the bureau when Vievk entered with a envelop in his hand. He handed it over to Abhijeet.

Vivek- Sir…..Ye envelop bureau ke bahar pada hua tha. Ispe aapka naam hai.

Abhijeet- Kamaal hai….main aaya tab toh dikha nahi mujhe. Zara dekhe kya hai isme?

Sachin- Ho sakta hai sir….kisi ne abhi rakha ho.

Abhijeet – Haan…..ho sakta hai.

He opened the letter and was shocked to read it. DrSalunkhe asked him about what that letter was. He didn't reply. DrSalunkhe took the letter from his hand.

In the letter it was Tarika's photo where she was tied to a chair and there were wounds on her head and hands. And something was written….

"Kyun Abhijeet Babu…! Udd gaye hosh tarika ko is haal mein dekh ke. Bachana chahte ho na isey. Toh theek hai…..kuch nahi karunga…par badle mein tumko mera ek kaam karna padega. Apne dost Daya ko bolo ki wo mere bhai ko chhod de. Wo usey hi toh pakadne gaya hai na. Mere bhai Raghu ko pakadne gaya hai na tumhara dost….Roko usey.

Agar tumne aisa nahi kiya toh ye Ladki toh gayi….nahi nahi….ladki nahi…..Tumhari "TARIKAJI". Jaldi karo Abhijeet Babu…..!

Tumhara Shubhchintak"

Abhijeet clenched his fists in anger.

Abhijeet- DrSaab….Aap chinta mat kijiye. Main Tarika ko kisi bhi halat mein bacha kar launga aur Daya bhi us Raghu ko pakdega.

Sachin- Par Sir….ye hai kaun?

Abhijeet- Ye drug dealer Manu hai. Manu aur Raghu jaane maane drug dealer hai. Aur aakhiri baar maine aur Daya ne hi inhe pakda tha. Lekin is baar bhi hum hi inhe pakdenge.

Meanwhile, Tasha and Kajal gave him details about Tarika and he left the bureau leaving everything on Sachin. All others were praying for Abhijeet and Tarika. They knew that Abhijeet would never let happen anything to Tarika.

ABhijeet left the bureau and went to search for tarika. It had been 2 days since Abhijeet had went off and still there was no news of him and Tarika. All were worried. In this environment , one person entered in the bureau and a sight smile made place on all faces. It was their beloved Daya Sir.

Tasha just ran and hugged him and was crying now. Daya was surprised. He made her face him and cupped her face….

Daya- Meri gudiya ko kisi ne kuch kaha kya ?(Daya and Abhijeet considered Tasha as their sister and Daya used to call her "Gudiya")

Tasha (nodded as NO)- Nahi….par abhijeet Sir aur tarika…..(she stopped)

Daya- Kya hua un dono ko?

Sachin told him about them and he also became worried. He said….

Daya- Let's go…..Main har haal mein dono ko dhundh kar launga. Kuch nahi hoga. Hume aaj se apna kaam shuru karna hoga.

All nodded as YES and they started with their plans.
