"Andar zyada log nahi hai." ACP sir remarked. "Abhijeet, Daya ko chhodke bas saath log hai."

"Sir?" Pakaj whispered. "Hume toh inka picha karna tha na?"

ACP sir scowled. "Haan Pankaj lekin ab yeh dono yahan aagae hai.." he clicked his tongue, "I just hope ki Aabir Abhijeet ko notice na-"

In that moment, there was a gunshot and his words were stuck in his mouth. The cops were shocked too. They had their eyes fixed on Aabir but it all had happened within a blink of an eye.

"Move, move!" ACP sir ordered.

Aabir had shot a bullet at Abhijeet but in time, Daya had pushed him away. Resultantly, the bullet didn't harm Abhijeet, but grazed Daya's arm. However, he wasn't that hurt.

The cops reacted in time and in a flash Aabir and Ceaser were surrounded by CID. Rajat had already fired at Aabir's hand making him lose his grip over his gun. And before Ceaser could even move, Pankaj had aimed the gun at his temple.

"Tu-Tum log yahan?-" Aabir uttered, half confused, half apprehensive.

"Voh kya hai na, tum log shaatir ho, takatwar nahi." ACP sir mocked him. Consequently, Aabir lost his temper.

"Aye, zyada shana mat ban. Abhi toh sirf tune hum dono ko pakda hai. Isse humara plan nahi barbad hone wala!" He spat.

Rajat slapped him hard. "Jaise tum donoko pakda haina, tere pure gang ko bhi vaise hi pakadlenge."

Aabir chewed on his teeth. "Abe saale-"

"Chup!" ACP sir shouted. "Rajat, Pankaj, Purvi, lejao inn donoko."

"Sir!"

Aabir glared at ACP sir in anger. However, when his eyes wandered and rested over Abhijeet, that anger took the shape of malice. "Tujhe toh mai dekhlunga. Bahot bada hogaya haina tu?"

Abhijeet just kept starring at him blankly. When his eyes had met Aabir before, it was supposed to be his end. Why, the bullet had already been fired at him, didn't it?..Daya!

He immediately turned around and helped Daya to sit on a chair. "I am sorry, I am sorry-"

"Its okay, goli sirf chhu kar nikal gai hai."

"Fir bhi..I am so sorry. I didn't-"

"For God's sake shut the hell up." Daya yelled in frustration. He was already in pain. He didn't need Abhijeet agonising over it right now.

He was relieved though that Abhijeet kept quiet. But when he looked up, Abhijeet was starring at Aabir being dragged away by Rajat, face showing a little amount of remorse. Daya smiled ruefully. Family afterall!

"Mere officers yahan ke logonko evacuate kar rahe hai. Ambulance aati hi hogi. Hume bhi niche chalna chahiye." They heard ACP sir.

Daya nodded at him and stood up. Whereas Abhijeet downed his head. Daya dared a glance at ACP sir, because even if Abhijeet didn't know it, he was sweating badly and even slightly shivering.

ACP sir gave Daya a nod and placed his hand over Abhijeet's head. "Abhije-"

"I am sorry sir." He wiped his face, his own arm holding Daya's. "Chaliye, please chaliye."

Concern didn't leave Daya's face but ACP sir's lips curved. This child is growing, and he is growing well.
