when Rajat & Purvi entered the hospital ward...Vineet was sitting beside Shreya leaning on the bed rail & Shreya was in Vineet's arms sleeping peacefully...a smile plastered on her face showing that she felt safe...
Rajat whispered to Vineet...
Rajat :: Kaisi hai yeh abh...?
Vineet :: abhi theek hai...doctor se baat ho gayi hai meri...sab normal hain...
Purvi :: chalo ek baat acchi hai...mujhe toh isspe bohut gussa aaraha hai...peechle baar hospital mein aayi thee toh isse data tha aur samjhaya bhi thaa kee woh koi heroine nahi hai par ye samajhti hee nahi...( her eyes were moist )...
Rajat :: I Know...isse warn kiya thaa maine...kaha thaa maine isse kee...isse mein criminals se toh bachalunga...par mujhse isse koi bhi bacha nahi payega...
Vineet instinctivly pulled Shreya closer...protecting her in his embrace...& said " Wow...bass bass...aap dono ko toh dekhkar lagraha hai jaise aap isski khabar lene ke liye puri tayyari karkae aaye hain...I am Sorry...parr ye mujhe abhi abhi milli...isiliye aap dono isse kuch bhi nahi kahengae..."
Rajat :: (laughing) jyaad nahi paar thoda toh datunga isse...
all three laughed lightly...& at that time the door opened & Dr. Tarika entered...
Rajat :: aree Dr. Tarika aap yahan...?
Tarika :: Haan, woh Salunkhae sir ne bheja hai...Shreya ka blood sample lene ke liye...
Vineet :: Kyun...?
Tarika :: Salunkhae sir dekhna chahte hai ki kyaa abhi bhi...usski body...( her voice trailed not wanting to voice her thoughts )
all the three understood...& nodded their head...
Vineet move his hand a bit so that Tarika could take the blood from Shreya's hands...the moment Tarika inserted the syringe in Shreya's hand...Shreya's hold tightened on Vineet' chest...Vineet soothed her back giving her the cue that everything was alright...
Tarika saw this & said " abhi bhi injection se bohut darti haina...isiliye Salunkhae sir ne kaha tha jab woh so rahi ho tabhi Blood ka sample lena..."
Vineet nodded...
Tarika :: chalo abhi mein chalti hun...Blood tests bhi karnae hai abhi...
Rajat :: hum bhi chaltae hai...waise bhi yaha humari koi zaroorat toh hai nahi ( he smiles mischievously looking at Vineet )
Purvi & Tarika laugh lightly & Vineet blushes & says " kyaa sir aap bhi..."
bidding goodbye to Vineet...Rajat, Purvi & Tarika went...
Vineet smiled looking at the door...when Shreya moved in his hand coming out of her sleep & asks " koi aaya thaa kya, Vinu...?"
Vineet just shakes his head, smiles & says " koi nahi aaya thaa jaan...ab so jao..." & then Shreya moves in a bit to make space for Vineet...& again she slept in Vineet's arms peacefully...
" MEIN AAPSE KUCH POOCH RAHA HUN...KYUN KIYA AAPNAE AISA...? " ACP asked DCP for the umpteenth time...DCP had come to bureau...
DCP had not yet answered ACP sir's question...ACP Sir wanted to know that why DCP had not sent any other girl as undercover knowing that Shreya was not well...& if he had sent her...why had he not sent help to her...
DCP couldn't control now...he spat out the reply..." KYUNKI Baki sabhi officers ko criminal log bohut acchae se jaantae hain...kyunki woh kafi time se kaam karrahi hain...Shreya ne abhi-abhi join kiya hai usse koi bhi jyaada achhe se jaanta nahin...isiliyae...aur tum ye janana chahte ho na kee meine help kyun nahi bheji..."
" Haan..." said ACP...
" tum achhe se jaantae hoa woh unstable ho gayi thee...isiliyae...woh CID ke liyae khatra ban sakti thi...isiliyae meine usse help nahi bheja..." DCP said...
" woh unstable nahi hai boss..." said Salunkhae from the door...
" Kyaa...?" Daya said... " woh unstable nahi hai..." everybody was happy for Shreya...
" Haan...un chemicals ka asar ab kafi kum ho gaya hai...aur jo usske chest par surgical implant kiya tha woh bhi gal chuka hai...ab sirf usske aankhon ka rang aur usska body temperature change ho raha hai par woh bhi dheere dheere pehle kee tarah nahi..." Salunkhae said smiling...
DCP stood shocked in his place...
ACP turned & looked disgustingly at DCP & says... " accha hua Shreya ne humme likh diya warna na jane kyaa ho jata...aapne ye sahi nahi kiya DCP saab "
DCP couldn't utter a word he just stormed out of the bureau...
...next morning...in the hospital...
Sunlight seeped in through the windows of the hospital ward...
Shreya moved a bit in her bed...Vineet was sleeping partially on top of her...his head rested on her chest...& his hands wrapped tightly around her waist...& Shreya's one hand was wrapped around his neck & with the other she was ruffling his hair slowly...mornings like this she loved the most...she felt warm, secure...& most of all she felt loved...
In the past two months she had missed Vineet so much...most of all she had missed his warm embrace...the protection of his arms...
the past two months had been like hell for her...strange men would come & touch her whole body...would want to rave on her body like anything the whole night...but she had gracefully avoided that part but still she hated those men like anything...
tears rolled down her eyes...her hold tightened on Vineet's neck...She would sit alone & cry for hours in a quiet corner of the kothi...her heart would cry out & say " Vineet ke pass wapas chale jao..." but she couldn't go back...
.
Vineet felt the hold around his neck tighten...he jostled up & slowly opened his eyes...he was hoping to see Shreya's house walls...with peanuts around his neck like every morning... but then peanuts doesn't tighten its hold...moreover even if it tightened its grip it wouldn't hurt him like it is actually doing right now...
he slowly moved his head & looked at the figure lying beside him... " Shreya..." then only realization hit him...but when he saw tears in her eyes he got worried...
he got up pulled Shreya up & hugged her...Shreya hugged him tightly... " jaan Kyaa hua...? " he asked her...
she couldn't control herself...she blurted out her sufferings which she had endured in the past two months... " Vinu...peechle two months mere liye nark se kum nahi thae... " she moved so that she could face Vineet...but Vineet still held to her waist... " anjaan log aate hain...mujhe ekdum gandi tareekae se dekhtae thae... mujhe bilkul bhi pasand nahi aata tha...Kothi ke ek kone mein baithkar roti rehti thi tumhare liye...kayin baar khayal bhi aaya kee sab chodkar tumharae pass bhag ke aajaon parr mission tha aa bhi nahi sakti thi... " she couldn't control anymore...she started crying...
Vineet couldn't see her like that...he pulled her hugged her tightly...
" Pata hai Vineet..." Shreya had calmed down a bit..." jab tumharae in bahon mein hoti hun na toh aisa lagta hai jaise jannat milgayi hon...jab tumharae kandhon parr sir rakhti hun na anjaana sa...ek ajeeb sa sukun mehsos karti hun...aisa lagta hai jaise tumharae inn bahon ke peeche koi duniya hee nahi hai...tumharae ye haath mmere liye ek shield ka kaam karti hai..." saying this hugged him tightly...
Vineet had tears in his eyes... " I Promise you Shreya...iss jannat se tujhe kabhi alag nahi hone dunga...I Promise..." he hugged her tighter...
