CHAPTER 25:

It was afternoon time. Abhijeet was lying alone in his cabin. Tarika had gone for some work, a case had been reported and Salunkhe required Tarika's assistance. Tarika wanted to stay back but Abhijeet asked her to go and assured her that he was fine. So she left with the promise to return as soon as she can.

Abhijeet's POV

hmm. Tarika abhi tak nahi aayi? 2 ghante ho gaye? aur yeh Daya.. yeh kahan gayab ho gaya. shayad usi case mein hoga. Warna abhi tak aa jaana chahiye tha. Haan case mein hi hoga. Mai bhi nahi hoon ACP sir pe poora pressure hoga, Daya case mein hi hoga. Pata nahi fir kab hum dono saath bureau jayenge. (sitting on the bed) Yeh sab achanak kya hua hai? mai hospital mein kaise? Aur yeh… yeh mujhe kyu kuch yaad nahi aa raha? Daya ne kaha ki hum case mein the… aur case ke waqt mujhe goli lagi and sir pe chot lagi. Hmm. Par agar bas itni si baat thi sab aise hichkicha kyu rahe the mujhe bolne se? jab hosh aaya ACP sir se poocha maine, Tarika se poocha, Salunkhe sir se bhi, tasha, sachin, kajal, vivek, rajat sab chup the. Freddy toh rone bhi laga tha. Agar itni mamooli baat thi toh yeh reaction kyu?

Aur ek yeh sapne. Uff peecha nahi chorte mera. Pata nahi kya kya sochta rehta hoon mai. Huh! Ek toh aise hi sir pe chot hai upar se yeh sapne aur sir dard badhate hain… (just then a thought crossed his mind) ek minute… sir pe chot hai toh… toh aisi mein dard kyu nahi hota? Bas inn sab sapno ke waqt, yeh sab sochne ke waqt kyu? (he touched the back of his head) chot lagi hai toh… koi nishaan kyu nahi hai? na blood clot, na stitches, kuch bhi nahi. Iska matlab yeh job hi dard hai sab internal problem hai bahar toh kuch bhi nahi hai? agar chot lagne se internal bleeding bhi hui matlab bahut zor se lagi hogi sir mein. Par koi nishaan kyu nahi hai phir? Kahin Daya mujhse… mujhe jhoot toh nahi keh raha?

Jab bhi mujhse baat karta hai uski ankhen neechi hoti hai, yahan wahan dekhta hai, meri nazar se nazar nahi mila paata. Kuch bhi poochu toh kehta hai baad mein abhi stress mat lo. Team mein se bhi koi kuch nahi batata mujhe. Kuch toh badi baat hai inn sabke peeche.

A nurse came in with the second dose of injection.

Abhijeet: (thinking) yeh lo! thoda dard kam hua nahi subah ka aur yahan doosri baar torture chamber shuru. Huh!

He took the injectible just when his eyes fell on something.

Abhijeet: nurse?

Nurse: ji?

Abhijeet: abhi tak injection ki kitni dose li hai maine?

Nurse: abhi tak 6 aur do baar baaki hai kal complete ho jayenge.

Abhijeet: ji thank you.

Nurse nodded and moved out.

Abhijeet: 6! 6 baar injection li toh itne saare nishaan kyu hai? (rolling up his sleeve) yeh injection har baar ek hi location mein deti hai… toh phir? Yeh baaki nishaan kya hai? wrist pe, upper arm pe, haar pe kahin bhi hai. yeh sab kya hua mujhe. Dekhke needle ke nishaan hi lag rahe hain. sote hue toh koi injection diya nahi mujhe… phir yeh? (looking closely) Aur yeh chot ke nishaan. Haathapai mein lage honge…. hmm. Maan sakte hain. par yeh needle waala kya chakkar hai? team mein se koi batayega nahi Daya bhi nahi bata raha… kya karu? Mujhe khud hi pata lagana hoga… par… kaise?

His thoughts were interrupted as ACP came in the cabin.

ACP: arey Abhijeet? kaise ho?

Abhijeet: arey sir… aap? (happily)ayiye ayiye. Mujhe toh laga aap milne hi nahi aayenge.

ACP: arey aisi kaise? Milne toh ana hi tha.

Abhijeet: nahi sir woh mujhe laga aap case mein buzy honge.

ACP: waah? Hospital mein baithe baithe bureau mein case aaya yeh bhi pata chal gaya mere shatir officer ko?

Abhijeet: (smiling0 arey nahi sir. Dr. Tarika ko call aaya Salunkhe sir ka toh pata chala bureau mein case aaya hai.

ACP: haan ek murder case hai. team lagi hui hai, lagta hai solve ho jayega jaldi.

Abhijeet: haan ab Daya lag gaya ahi mujrim ke peeche toh case toh solve ho hi jayega na?

ACP: Daya?

Abhijeet; haan mere absence mein wohi lead kar raha hoga… haina?

ACP: h.. haan.. haan… woh lead kar raha hai. (Thinking) Daya bureau mein nahi hai, ghar pe bhi talaa laga hai, socha tha Abhijeet ke paas hoga, yahan par bhi nahi hai… akhir yeh gaya toh gaya kahan?

Abhijeet: kya hua sir kuch soch mein pad gaye?

ACP: Nahi nahi kuch nahi case ke bare mein kuch aise hi…

Abhijeet: mujhe batayiye na mai kuch madad kar saku?

ACP: arey arey. Tum ek baar theek ho jao. Phir cases tumhe aur Daya ko hi lead karna hai… par abhi nahi haan? pehele araam karo aur jaldi se theek ho jao.

Abhijeet: sir bed pe aise lete lete theek nahi ho paunga. Ek baar duty join kar loon phi raise chutkiyon mein theek ho jaunga.

ACP: hahahaha. Haan haan baba kar lena duty join par theek hone ke baad.

Abhijeet: sir par…

ACP: Abhijeet. its an order!

Abhijeet: theek hai sir.

ACP: acha chalo ab tumhe zyaada pareshaan nahi karunga aaraam karo tum, mai doctor se baat karke bureau jar aha hoon. Agar kuch bhi zaroorat mehsoos ho ya kuch bhi mujhe bas ek call kar dena. Theek hai?

Abhijeet: arey sir aapko pareshaan hone ki zaroorat nahi hai. Daya hai na. mai usey hi call kar dunga.

ACP: (hesitating) nahi I mean a… agar uskaphone band aaye ya kuch…

Abhijeet: uska phone band kyu aayega?

ACP: nahi buzy haina kaam pe… case lead kar raha hai toh agar…

Abhijeet: hmm. Mera phone avoid toh nahi karega lekin… mujhe bhi usey case ke waqt disturb nahi karna chahiye.

ACP: haa. Haan haan wohi… mai bureau mein hi hoon paperwork ke kuch kaam hai toh kuch bhi hon mujhe call kar dena theek hai?

Abhijeet: haan sir. Theek hai

ACP smiled and left. He moved out and called Salunkhe.

ACP: yaar Salunkhe gadbad ho gayi. Daya ka kuch pata nahi chal raha.

Salunkhe: boss hospital mein dekha?

ACP: nahi yaar wahin hoon. Nahi hai woh yahan pe bhi.

Salunkhe; Tarika ne kaha tha woh ghar ja raha hai. wahan dekha?

ACP: mobile ka location pata lagwaya woh ghar pe hai. bike aur gadi bhi ghar pe hai. duplicate key se ander bhi gaya. par Daya nahi hai. mujhe bahut dar lag raha hai Salunkhe.

Salunkhe: boss dekho tum chinta mat karo. Mil jayega Daya. tension mat lo. usey kuch waqt akele cahiye hoga, rehne do usey akele. Aa jayega wapas. Uski halat bhi samajh rahe ho na.

ACP: samajh raha hoon isliye usey akela chorne se dar lag raha hai. pichli baar dekha nahi tha… khudko goli marne waala tha. Sahiw aqt aa gaye aur Abhijeet ke bare mein baat karke rok liya usey. par ab kya karenge? Usey iss waqt ek pal ke liye bhi akela nahi chora ja sakta.

Salunkhe: acha acha boss shant! Suno. Dekho mai aur Tarika site se check karke wapas aa rahe hain. rajat ko bata diya hai sab, woh handle kar lega case. Hum 20 minutes mein bureau mein milte hain theek hai? phir milke sochenge kya karna hai? theek hai.

ACP: theek hai tu pahunch mai aata hoon.

Salunkhe: theek hai bye …

Abhijeet : yeh ACP sir bhi kuch chupa rahe the… Daya ke bare mein shayad. Par kya? Kyu koi mujhe kuch nahi bata raha na hi mujhe kuch yaad aa raha hai. kya hua tha? Kya hua tha inn 3 hafto mein. Kahin inn sabka sambandh unn cheezon se toh nahi jo mai dekh raha hoon. Mujhe yaad karna hi hoga. Mujhe sab kuch yaad karna hi hoga.

He closed his eyes and tried to concentrate on the visions he was having from last few days.

He was standing facing Daya. he was pointing his gun towards Daya. there was a girl right behind Daya. there was a sound of two gunshots with a second gap between them.

The vision was turning blurry. There is the sound of a second gunshot.

"Abhijeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetttt!" it was Daya's scared voice.

Abhijeet opened his eyes with a jerk. He was breathing hard.

Abhijeet: kaun thi woh ladki…. Mujhe focus karna hoga. Aur yeh Daya ki yeh dardnaak cheekh. Iske aage kuch yaad nahi aa raha hai. nahi mujhe yaad karna hoga yeh sab kyat ha…

He tried to focus on the girl's face but he couldn't. instead his headache started again. Abhijeet decided to take the medicine and relax for a while. He took the painkillers and lied down back on the bed. He closed his eyes and tried to sleep, but he couldn't. he changed sides but still no use. His headache was very bad. It was more than half an hour but his headache wasn't any less. He took more of the painkillers, trying to get some relief. But of no use. He clutched his head tightly and put the pillow on his head.

He was in a dark room. He was sitting around with many men. They were not at all looking like guys with good intentions. A paper was spread around the table. The girl came and sat beside him.

Abhijeet: hmm. Monica… aage kya plan hai Daya ko marne ka?

Monica: 2301201014022010.

Abhijeet: decide kab karenge?

Monica: jald hi.

Tarika entered in a rush. She saw Abhijeet in such a bad condition. He was shivering, he was holding his head in his hand and was totally covered in sweat.

Tarika: oh no… Abhijeet ko kya hua? Abhii?

She rushed to him.

Tarika: Abhijeet? Abhijeet ? kya hua? theek ho? (she placed a hand on his shoulder)

Abhijeet opened his eyes with a jerk.

Tarika: Abhijeet! relax… mai… mai hoon Tarika. Relax. Theek ho? hmm? Ruko mai pani laati hoon.

She reached for the jug and glass of water. She saw the painkiller tablet strip on the side table. Only 6 out of 10 tablets were there.

Tarika: mai jab subah gayi tab poora packet tha 4 tablets? Iska matlab Abhijeet ne…. 4 ghante mein 4 tablets?

Tarika: ab.. abhiejet lo paani lo.

He took the glass but his hands were trembling. Tarika put her hand on his hand and strengthened his grip on the glass.

Tarika: araam se. peyo.. sab theek hai. mai aa gayi hoon na. its ok. Pe lo…

Abhijeet drank the water and calmed down a bit. Tarika sat down beside him.

Tarika: Abhijeet?

Abhijeet: hmm?

Tarika: sir bahut dard ho raha hai kya? Tumne 4 ghnate mein 4 tablets khatam kar diye?

Abhijeet: Tarika sir… sir bahut zyaada dard de raha hai.

Tarika: par aise overdose theek nahi hai na painkillers ke. Acha koi baat nahi, aage se dhyaan rakhna. Abhi let jao mai sir daba deti hoon, theek ho jayega.

She helped Abhijeet lie down and started pressing his head.

Abhijeet: Daya.. Daya kahan hai?

Tarika: woh case mein hai Abhijeet. jaldi aa jayega. Case khatam hote hi aa jayega. Tum pareshaan mat ho. please shant ho jao. Zyaada socho mat.

Abhijeet closed his eyes.

Tarika: mai doctor se baat karke aaun kya?

Abhijeet: (holding her hand) nahiii Tarika please ruko na yahan.. thodi der please.

Tarika; acha acha theek hai. koi baat nahi. Mai yahin hoon. Tum araam se so jao. Sir dard kam hua?

Abhijeet: hmm thoda thoda. Thanks Tarika.

Tarika: koi baat nahi. Mujhe tumhari zaroorat hoti toh tum bhi yehi karte na. toh? Chalo ab sone ki koshish karo. Khaana aayega toh utha dungi.

Tarika (thinking) pata nahi yeh Daya kahan chala gaya? hope ACP sir aur Salunkhe sir jald hi dhoondh lenge usey. Daya… yeh kya kar rahe ho tum… please sab barbaad mat kar dena. Please Daya…

It was night time now. There was no sign of Daya. Abhijeet was feeling restless. Tarika was still there with him. she was tensed as well.

She moved out and called Salunkhe for the 10th time now.

Salunkhe: haan Tarika?

Tarika: sir Daya ka kuch…

Salunkhe: nahi Tarika. Abhi tak kuch bhi pata nahi chala. Uske doston se milke aaya. Sea shore pe dekha, café, restaurants, even flight, train ki tickets bhi Daya ke naam se check karwayi. Bus stops pe bhi poocha, private taxis bhi. Padosiyon se poocha, kuch pata nahi.

Tarika: sir Abhijeet se kya kahenge?

Salunkhe: Tarika tum sambhal lo usey, mera dimaag kaam karna hi band kar gaya hai. tum usey sambhal lo. mai baad mein contact karta hoon. Bye…

Tarika moved inside.

Abhijeet: Tarika Daya ko call karo.

Tarika; nahi utha raha phone.

Abhijeet: lao mai karta hoon.

Tarika: maine kaha na phone nahi receive kar raha.

Abhijeet: do phone mai try karta hoon na.

Tarika was very tensed. She handed over the phone to him. he called up Daya..

Abhijeet: hello Daya?

Daya: haan Abhijeet bolo?

Abhijeet: kahan ho Daya?

Daya: arey case mein laga hua tha. Bas hospital aa raha hoon. 5 minute mein pahuch jaunga.

Abhijeet: jaldi aa tu. Phir teri toh mai hospital mein hi class lagata hoon.

Daya : haan haan aata hoon.

He ended the call.

Tarika: kya .. kya kaha usne?

Abhijeet: raste mein hai. hospital aa raaha hai.

Tarika: (confused) a… acha? Aisa kaha? Hospital aa raha hai woh?

Voice: aa raha nahi aa gaya.

Tarika: arey Daya tum aa gaye?

Daya: haan. sorry woh thoda late ho gaya na?

Tarika: n.. nahi… late kahan? Tum dono baat karo mai aati hoon.

She moved out and called ACP.

ACP: haan Tarika bolo?

Tarika: sir Daya hospital aa gaya hai.

ACP: kya? Daya hospital aa gaya hai? kab kaise?

Tarika; nahi pata just abhi abhi aaya.

ACP: hmm kam se kam aa toh gaya. chalo theek hai. baad mein dekhte hain.

Tarika: yes sir.

ACP: ok..

Abhijeet: kya yaar Daya? subah se gaye the itna late aaye?

Daya: sorry boss woh case mein phans gaya tha isliye.

Abhijeet: chalo choro koi baat nahi. Khaana kha liya?

Daya: haan haan tumne?

Abhijeet: please Daya ek toh itne der se aaye. Thodi der? Bas 12 baje tak?

Daya: 12 baje? Abhijeet! so jao tum chup chaap.

Abhijeet: acha acha 11:30?

Daya: nahi Abhijeet. chalo so jao zid mat karo yaar ab bacho ki tarah.

Abhijeet: toh kitne baje tak?

Daya: umm 10;30?

Abhijeet: acha fine 11 deal?

Daya: theek hai yaar. 11 baje tak!

Abhijeet; waise doctor se baat hui parso tak ghar ja sakte hain.

Daya: kya sacchi?

Abhijeet: hmm

Daya: yeh toh bahut achi baat hai.

Abhijeet: hmm. Par…

Daya; par? Par kya? Kuch hua hai kya? Haan? batao?

Abhijeet: (holding his hand) Daya aaj mujhe phirse woh… woh sapne…

Daya: (nervous) kya dekha?

Abhijeet: Monica… monica naam ki ladki… mai… hum ek andhere jagah pe… ek table hai.. sab baithe hue hain. hum plan bana rahe the…. (scared) tum.. tumhe marne ka. Aur… aur… phir ek ek code. 2301201014022010. Aur. Phir maine dekha ki… ki… mere haath mein gun hai… tum mere saamne khade ho. maine trigger dabaya… aur goli ki awaaz aayi aur… aur sab blank… kuch dikhayi nahi diya aage bas tumhari woh cheekh… mai. Mai yeh sab pata nahi kya dekh raha hoon Daya. please… please mujhe bata do na kya hua tha. Mai mai pagal ho jaunga …. Mujhe batao na Daya. mujhe yaad dilao na.

Daya: Abhijeet please abhi… abhi itna stress mat lo na yaar. phir sir dard shuru ho jayega tumhara haina?

Abhijeet: Daya please.

Daya: Abhijeet!

Abhijeet: theek hai. par phir aur late nahi.

Tarika: haan baba. Ab itna mat socho tum. Subah yaad haina? 4 goliyan 4ghante ke ander kha li thi.

Daya: kya? Abhijeet subah phirse headache ho raha tha? Itna zor?

Abhijeet: ho raha tha nahi abhi bhi hai par utna zyaada nahi subah ki tarah.

Daya: acha acha boss tum leto mai sir daba deta hoon. Bilkul theek ho jayega.

Abhijeet : par mujhe abhi baat karni hai tumse.

Daya: Abhijeet let ke bhi baat kar sakte ho na? hmm? Abhi lete raho baat karte raho, need aaye toh so jaana theek hai?

Abhijeet : theek hai… par jaana mat kahi… yeh nahi ki mai so gaya phir uth ke dekhunga kit um gayab ho gaye phir se.

Daya; haan baba theek hai ab so jao tum.

They both talked for a while and soon Abhijeet drifted off to sleep. Tarika called Daya aside, ACP also reached the hospital.

ACP; kahan the Daya tum?

Daya: sir woh mai…

ACP: woh mai kya? Kahan gayab ho gaye the aise? Humne kitne dhoondha tumhe kuch pata bhi hai? aise kaise ja sakte ho tum kahin ? Abhijeet ki halat pata haina tumhe?ek pal tumhe nahi dekhta toh kaise pareshaan ho jaata hai? haan? phir kahan chale gaye the tum?

Daya: sir mai sea side pet ha phir ghar aa gaya. aur phir hospital.

ACP: humne toh wahan pe bhi dekha tha tum toh nahi the wahan…

Daya: aap.. aap sea shore pe bhi dekhe? M.. mai wa.. wahin tha aapne dekha nahi hoga.

ACP: Daya tumse kisine kaha hai kit um jhoot bolne mein bahut bure ho.. aur mere saamne jhoot bol bhi kaise loge tum? ACP Pradyuman hoon mai. Tumse mera experience bahut zyaada hai. aur tum aur Abhijeet… tum dono ko detection, investigation sab maine sikhaya aur tum mujhse jhoot bologe ab?

Daya looked down.

ACP; kya baat hai Daya? haan? kya baat hai? kyu itne pareshaan ho gaye ho? ab toh sab theek ho gaya hai … Case solve ho gaya hai, Abhijeet bhi zinda hai, theek ho raha hai ab aur kya chahte ho tum? Kya hua hai Daya?

Daya: (firm tone) mai sab permanently theek karna chahta hoon sir.. humesha humesha ke liye.

ACP; kaise?

Daya: Abhijeet ki zindagi se dur jaake…

ACP: phir wohi pagalpan? Ho kya gaya hai tumhe Daya? kya keh rahe ho yeh?

Daya: haan ho gaya hoon mai pagal! Agar jo mai Abhijeet ki bhalai ke liye kar raha hoon woh pagalpan hai toh hai…

ACP; Daya Abhijeet ek CID officer hai… tum bhi toh ho… tum jaante ho humari zindagi kya hai? tum samajhte ho na Daya? phir bhi aisi pagal jaisi baatein kar rahe ho? Cid officers pe har pal khatra rehta hai. har waqt… jab bhi subah haum ghar se nikalte hain kabhi yeh pata nahi hota ki raat ko ghar wapas aayenge ya nahi. Tum uss se dur ho jaoge toh kya woh humesha ke liye safe ho jayega? Criminals uske peeche nahi padenge kabhi? Us se phir kabhi koi marne ke koshish nahi karega?

Daya: par meri wajah se toh nahi karega na? yeh case mera tha! Yeh attack mere liye tha! Who log mujhe marna chahte the, mujhe nuksaan pahuchaana chahte the… par mujhe kya hua? kuch nahi! Kuch bhi nahi… aur Abhijeet.. woh wahan hospital mein hai. na jaane kitna torture kiya hai unn logon ne usey, kitne nishaan hai uske jism pe, kitni chot aayi hai usey, kitni takleef maine hai woh… kitna dard ho raha hoga usey… goli bhi usey lagi saza bhi usey mili? Kyu? Kya guanah tha uska? Sirf yehi ki woh mera dost hai? agar iss dosti ke wajah se usey aisi saza mile toh yeh dosti na hona hi acha…

ACP; aur tum uss se dur reh paoge? Haan? kya karoge? Ghar chor doge? Bureau mein toh miloge hi na? transfer karwa loge? Phir bhi Abhijeet tumhare bare mein pata laga hi lega… toh? Kya karoge? Suicide? Tum samajh rahe ho kit um apni jaan loge? Aur Abhijeet … tum toh uski jaan bhi leke ja rahe ho apne saath! Hum Tarika doctors, Abhijeet hum sabki baat bhi samajh nahi aa rahi tumhe Daya… hum kehne ke liye nahi sach keh rahe hain, agar Abhijeet ko paat chala toh woh… woh sach mein mar jayega. Mar jayega woh Daya… kyu apne haathon usey maarne chah rahe ho tum?

Tumhe yeh dikh raha hai ki tumhari dosti ke wajah se usey kitna takleef sehni padi, par yeh nahi dikh raha ki tumhaari dosti ke wajah se usey yeh takat mili itna sab sehne ki… woh dawai jo uski health ke liye kharab hai, usne tumhari dosti ke khatir li… par tumhari dosti ke wajah se itne dose lene ke baad bhi woh zinda hai! tumhari dosti ke wajah se goli lagi usey, par tumhari dosti ke wajah se theek ho raha hai woh. Jab tak tum nahi the woh recover bhi nahi ho raha tha doctors ne kaha woh coma mein ja sakta hai… jis raat tum uske paas ruke, agle hi din woh theek ho gaya. jab tum nahi the kaise violent ho gaya tha, kisiki baat nahi sun raha tha… tumhare aate hi shant ho gaya hai. tumhe yeh nahi dikhta?

Itne saal ki dosti, pyaar izzaat ki yeh sila milegi usko? Usne jis insaan ki jaan bachane ke liye apni jaan dau pe laga di, usne khud apni jaan de di. Tum Abhijeet ke efforts pe usne jo kiya usey tum bekar kar de rahe ho. kyu Daya kyu? Tumhe ek baar bhi uska khayaal nahi aa raha? Jab bhi tumhe kuch hota hai, woh tumhare paas rehta hai na? tumhare saath? Tumhe akela chorke nahi jaata? Toh phir?

Tum dekh nahi rahe Abhijeet kitna dara hu hai? tumhare saath kitna safe mehsoos karta hai? nahi dikhayi deta tumhe?

Daya: woh toh bas abhi… jab usey kuch yaad nahi hai.. kal ko usey jab sab yaad ayega tab? Yaad ayega usey ki kaise maine goli chalayi uspe? Tab nafrat karega woh mujhse… aur mai yeh nafrat nahi dekh sakta…

ACP: waah re waah Daya! waah! Tum aisi soch rakh sakte ho maine kabhi nahi socha tha… tum toh bahut khudgarz nikle Daya… bahut selfish… ab samajh aaya tum Abhijeet se dur kyu ja rahe ho? apne khatir… tum Abhijeet se uski bhalai ki liye nahi apne liye ja rahe ho us se dur… kyu? Kyuki tum uski nafrat seh nahi sakte? arey jis insaan ne tumahri liye apni jaan tak de di… tumhe bachane ke liye khud marne ko taiyaar ho gaya, tum uski jaan bachane ke liye nafrat nahi she sakte uski? Tum jaante ho ki Abhijeet tumse zyaada der gussa nahi reh sakta.. tum jaante ho Abhijeet tumhare bina zinda nahi reh sakta… phir bhi tum dur jaana chahte ho?

Tumhi keh rahe the ki Abhijeet ne tumhare liye itna kuch kiya? Tumhe kuch na ho iske liye usey itna torture sehna pada… toh phir tum Abhijeet ke gusse se ghabra rehe ho ki usey sab aayd aane bhi woh tumse naraaz hoga? Aur iss dar se tum uss se dur hoke uski zindagi cheen lena chahte ho uss se? jab woh itna torture she sakta hai tumhare khatir tum uska do pal ka gussa nahi dekh sakte? kitni der Abhijeet tumse gussa reh paaya hai batao? Haan?

Aur jab tumhari tabiyat theek nahi rehti tab? Ek baar tumhe bhi bukhar hua than a? Abhijeet ne dhyaan nahi rakha tumhara? Tum uss waqt kitni out of control hue the? Kitna gussa aata tha tumhe? Kisiko bhi kuch bhi keh dete the Abhijeet ko bhi… kya woh tumhe chorke chala gaya? kyunki woh jaanta tha tumhe uski zaroorat hai… Abhijeet tumse kabhi nafrat nahi kar sakta Daya… marte waqt bhi uski chehre pe, uski ankhon mein koi gile shikwe dikhe tumhe? Apne liye zara bhi nafrat dikhi? Nahi na? bas khushi thi, tumhe bachane ki, tumhe zinda sahi salamat dekhne ki… phir bhi tumhe lagta hai ki usey jab sab aa jayega woh tumse nafrat karga aur tum kayar ki tarah bhaag rahe ho… tum jaisa khudgarz insaan maine kabhi nahi dekha Daya… tumne sahi kaha… tum deserve nahi karte Abhijeet ki dosti… nahi deserve karte tum usey…

Daya's eyes were filled with tears. He headed out.

Tarika; n.. nahi…nahi Daya.. pleaseeee Daya… nahi… ruk jao (holding his hand) Daya… ACP sir Abhijeet ki condition leke tension mein hai isliye gussa ho gaye… tum tum mat jao… please..

Daya: Tarika tum jao Abhijeet ko tumhari zaroorat hai.

Tarika: par tum…

Daya; mujhe iss waqt jaane do Tarika, please… sab bahut mushkil hai mere liye cheezon ko aur mat uljhao… haath jorta hoon mai tumhare.

Tarika: kahan ja rahe ho Daya?

Daya: jis jagah se kal na jaane kya sochke bina kuch kiya wapas aa gaya wahin jar aha hoon… aur aaj nahi rukunga mai… kal jo sochke gaya tha aaj karke rahunga..

He jerked her hand hand moved out in total anger.

Tarika; itne gusse mein gaya hai… ab… ab kya hoga?

A/N: KYA LAGTA HAI? KAHAN JA RAHA HAI DAYA KYA KARNE WAALA HAI WHO? KYA ABHIJEET DAYA KO ROK PAYEGA? KYA SAB KUCH THEEK HO PAYEGA YA SAB KHATAM HO JAYEGA?
