Story Cont...
Tarika was crying all the way to her father's home. But before entering the house , she wipped away her tears , flash a fake bright smile. When Dr. Salunkhe opened the door , she hugged her father.
Salunkhe : " Dingi beta , tu achanak subah subah ? Kaisi hai? Abhijeet kaisa hai? Sab thikto hai na?"
Tarika : " Papa , aap ghabraiye maat. Sab kuchh thik hai. Abhijeet bhi thik hai. ghar aneka bohot dil kar raha tha. Unki tabiyat bhi ab thik hai. To socha kuchh din apke saath rehlu. Andar nehi ane dengey?"
Salunkhe : " Kaisi baatein karti hai ? Aja. Andar aja. Abhijeet bureau chala gaya hai?"
Tarika : " Lunch ke baad chale jayengey. Aap Lab ke liye nikal rahethe kya?"
Salunkhe : " Ha , bass nikalnehi wala tha. Terato chhutti hai aaj. Tune nashta kiya?"
Tarika : " Ha , unke saath nasta karke ayi hu. Aap jaiye , papa. Bharna der ho jayegi. Shamko jaldi wapas ajana. Mai tabtak 'Pluto' ke saath khel leti hu. Mujhe thoda shopping bhi karni hai."
At 3: 00 p. m...CID Bureau...
Abhijeet entered inside the bureau. Everybody was engrossed in their respective works. Abhijeet went to Daya. He became surprised looking at his buddy.
Daya : " Abhijeet tum? Tum bureau me kya kar raheho? Tumhari tabiyat thik nehi hai."
Abhijeet : " Mai ab bilkul thik hu yaar. Aaj ekdam fit mehsoos kar raha hu. Socha , bureau chala ayu. Tum sabse milna bhi ho jayega, aur journalist ke case me kaam bhi kar lunga."
Daya : " Tum nehi sudharnewale. Tarika ki aaj chhutti hai. Thhoda waqt uske saath hi beeta leta mere bhai."
Abhijeet:" Tarika apni papa ki ghar gayi hai , to gharpe baithke bore ho raha tha. Issliye chala aya."
Daya : ( Suspicious tone)" Achanak papa ke ghar? Tum dono me sab kuchh thik ho gaya hai na,Abhijeet? Phirse jhagda to nehi kar liya na tum donone?"
Abhijeet :(With fake smile) Arrey nehi nehi ,yaar. Bohot dinose gayi nehi hai. Mai bhi ab thik hu , to maine hi kaha ki kuchh din apne papa ke pass rahle. Usko bhi to bohot kuchh sehna padha na. Apni papa ki saath rahegi to ,dil bahel jayegi uski. Tu wo saab chhod. Journalist ki case ka kya haal hai bata."
Soon, they started discussing about the case. Within 7 : 00 p.m , the case was solved. Abhijeet went to the beach at his favourite place. He found Tarika also sitting there . He sat beside her .
Abhijeet: " Kaisi ho , Tarika?"
Tarika : " Arrey ,tum kab aye? Maine dhyan hi nehi diya. Mai thik hu. Tumhari tabiyat kaisi hai? Bureau se arahe ho?"
Abhijeet : " Ha. Wo journalistwala case solve ho gaya hai aaj. Koi naya case nehi tha. Itni jaldi ghar jake kya karunga. Isliye yaha agaya thodi der baithne keliye. Magar tum iss waqt yaha?"
Tarika : " Shopping ke liye gayi thi. Papane phone karke kaha ke unhe urgently ek dost se milne jana hai. Issliye yaha agayi thoda time pass ke liye."
They were sitting silently side by side for sometimes. Abhijeet was continuously looking at her. But Tarika was lost in her thoughts looking at the waves.
Abhijeet : " Samundar ki lehron ke saath, kinareka ek ajeeb sambandh hai. Hai na?"
Tarika:( Looking towards Abhijeet)
" Kaisa sambandh?"
Abhijeet :" Dekhona, lehre chahe jitni bhi dur chali jaye , phir lautke kinare par hi ata hai. Samundar ki lehron ko na hamesha kinare pe thaherna manjoor hota hai ,aur na hamesha kinare se dur rehna manjoor hota hai. Aisa lagta hai , lehre sirf kinare ko barbar chhune ke liye hi ata hai."
Tarika : (Smiling)" Tum CID ke naukri chhodke shayeri kyu nehi karlete? Bohot tarakki karoge. Abhijeet , kya har lahre lautke atey hai ? Kuchh gahre samundarme kho bhi to jate hai , hai na?"
Abhijeet : " Ekbar tumhari haat chhu sakti hu?"
Tarika forwarded her hand towards Abhijeet. Abhijeet lightly held her hand .
Abhijeet : " Tarika , mai samundar ka wo laher hu , jo barbar lautke tumhare paas ata rahega . Tumhe dekhne ke liye , tumhe ekbar chhune ke liye , tumhari baatein sunne ke liye. Jo gustakhi kiya hai , barbar unke liye maafi mangne keliye. Mai nehi janta Tarika , jo ghaw maine tumhare dilko diya hai , wo kisi bhi dawa se mai kabhi var paunga ya nehi. Lekin uss ghaw me apni pyaar ka marham mai hamesha lagata rahunga. Tarika ,tum mere liye ek Devi ho, jo khud chalke mere gharme ake mere gharko ek 'Mandir' bana diyatha. Ye meri badnaseebi hai , mai uss Devi ki Puja karneke bhajai , uska apmaan kar baitha. Tum mere paas lautke ayo , ye binti karneke layek bhi mai nehi hu. Agar apni iss naadan ,nasamajh , gussewala pati par thodi daya kar sako, to ekbar lautne ki koushish jaroor karna. Tumhara mandir apni ' Devi' ka intezaar kar raha hai. Mai chalta hu. Tum bhi ghar jao. Itni raat ko beach pe rehna safe nehi hai."
Abhijeet left the place. Tarika covered her face with her palm and started crying.
Next day...11: 30 a.m...Forensic lab...
Abhijeet , Sachin ,Advik ,Mahi ,Purvi and Freddy came to know about the dead body which were sent to the lab. Dr. Salunkhe was gone to central lab. Tarika gave informations about the dead body. Before leaving the lab , Abhijeet stared at Tarika for sometimes silently. After sometimes, everybody went out of the lab except Purvi. She went close to Tarika to talk to her. After sometimes, Mahi noticed that she forgot her phone at the lab and came back. When she was at the entrance , she heard conversation between Purvi and Tarika.
Purvi : " Tarika , mujhe tujhse kuchh puchhna tha. Tu mujhe sach sach bata , tere aur Abhijeet sir ki beech jo missunderstanding huyi ,uska karan Mahi hain na? Wo letter jo tujhe sir ke jeb mese mila, wo Mahine rakkhi thi na?"
Tarika : " Purvi , jo beet gaya ,usse jane de. Jo hua wo kyu hua ,kaise hua ,kiske karan hua - usse kya farak parta hai. Abto hum donoko sachchai ka pata chal gaya haina. Janede ye saab baaton ko."
Purvi : " Janedu? Uss shaatir ladkine koi kasar nehi chhodi hogi tum donoki rishta todne me. Usko aisehi jane du? Mai ACP sir se uski shikayat karnewali hu. Phir uski sadi hekri nikal jayegi."
Tarika : " Nehi Purvi. Tujhe meri kasam hai , tu aisa kuchh nehi karegi. Aur iss baat ka khayal rakhna , ke Mahi ke iss karname ke bareme kisiko kuchh pata na chale. Agar bureau me sabko pata chalega ,to sab usse nafrat karne lagengey. ACP sir ko pata chala to uski carrier barbad ho jayegi. Aisa nehi hona chahiye. Maine to usko usi waqt maaf kar diya ,jab usne apna Khoon dekar meri Abhijeet ki zindegi bachayi. Uski ankhome pashchatap hai. Paschatap hi insaan ki galti ka sabse bada saja hota hai. Usko maine maaf kar diya ,aur tu bhi sab kuchh vul ja ,mere liye ,plz."
Purvi : " Mujhe pata nehi tu kis mitti se bani hai. Jis ladki ne tere zindegime jaher ghol diya , uske liye tere dilme itni jagah hai ! Tu aur Abhijeet sir ekdam ek dusre ki parchhayi hai. Rab ne kya jodi banayi hai ,yaar ! Hamesha khush rahna. Ek dusre ki parchhayi banke rahna. "
Purvi hugged Tarika and left the lab. Mahi was hiding behind the pillar while Purvi was coming out. After departure of Purvi ,she entered into the lab. She rushed to Tarika ,suddenly kneeled down infront of her and touched her feet and started crying loudly. Tarika was surprised , she held Mahi by her arms and made her stand.
Tarika : " Mahi ,ye kya kar rahi ho tum? Shant ho jao. Rona band karo. Kya hua hai? Mari taraf dekho. Kya hua hai ,batao. Abhijeet ne kuchh bhala buda kaha kya?"
Mahi : " Nehi Didi. Kisine kuchh nehi kaha. Koi kaise kuchh kehta? Aap dhal banke jo khari huyi hai mere samne. Mai mummy papa ki ek lauti ladli beti hu. Didi ka pyar kya hota hai , mujhe pata nehi . Apko janne ke baad aisa mehsoos hua ki, agar meri apni koi didi hoti , to wo bhi mere liye aisehi sochti , jaise apne socha hai. Mujh paapi ke liye bhi apke dilme kitni daya hai , kitni fikar hai apko meri ! Aaj se aap meri badi didi hai , Aur Abhijeet sir mere jijaji hai. Apni iss bahen ko maaf kar diziye didi. Maaf kar diziye." (Mahi was crying badly)
Tarika : " Shant ho jao ,Mahi. Maine to tumhe kabka maaf kar diya. Ansu pochho , aur bureau jao. Der karogi to Abhijeet se daant padnewali hai. Wo bohot strict hai na?"
Mahi: " Didi , aap dono ke beech sab kuchh thik hai na? Apne Abhijeet sir ko maaf kar diya na?Maine suna hai ,aap apni papa ke gharpe ho. Aap dono ki beech ab koi pareshanito nehi hai na?"
Tarika : " Mahi ,kuchh baatein sirf pati patni ki beech rahe tohi accha hota hai. Tum fikar maat karo. Jao. Aur, janese pahle apna ansu pochhlo. Wo dekho,(indicating towards the door) tumhara Shreeman Ashique tumhare intezaar me khara hai."
Mahi turned back and saw Advik standing at the door. Mahi blushed and looked downwards. Tarika held her chin and made her face herself.
Tarika : " Bohot pyaar karta haina tumse? Mujhe pahlese hi lagta tha. Advik bohot accha hai.( whispering) Agar abhi tak tumne ' Ha' nehi kiya hai , to jaldise kardo. Jao, wo intezaar kar raha hai. "
Advik and Mahi left the lab and Tarika got busy with her works.
After 2 days...Sunday morning...Dr. Salunkhe's house...
Tarika wake up from bed and went to the garden. She was surprised looking at the garden. There were about 40 rose plants with tub . In each tub ,there was written..
I Love U . All the plants were full of beautiful roses. The rose plants were kept in rows.
1st row- only plants of white roses.
2nd row- only plants of yellow roses.
3rd row- only plants of pink roses.
4th row- only plants of red roses.
Tarika was mesmerized . Suddenly she looked at the corner of the garden .There were 4 bird cases with 4 pairs of love birds inside those. The bird cases were made in such pattern that each case showed 1 letter, that means 4 cases showed 4 letters -
A B H I
Each letter had 1 pair of birds.
Suddenly Tarika's mobile started ringing. When she was about to pick up the phone , call ended. She saw a message in her mobile. It was from Abhijeet.
Message: " Tarika ji. Good morning. Aap jara bahar unn phulo ke samne jake thoda muskura diziye. Inn roses ko bohot ghamand hai ,ke ye bohot khubsoorat hai. Agar aapki muskurata hua pyaara chehra dekhegi ,to ye ful sharam ke mare apne aap murchha jayegi. Waise, ek ek rang ki gulaab ki ek ek khasiyat hai.
White roses - Jhagda khatam karne ka. Sorry ka.( I'm sorry , Tarika ji.)
Yellow roses - Dosti ka.( Tarika ji , plz be my friend.)
Pink roses - Love ki shuruyat ka. Pyaar me ek dusre me kho janeka. (I Love U, Tarika ji.)
Red roses- Pyaar ki gehrayi ka. Janam janam saath nivane ka.( Zindegi bhar ke liye meri Rani banke mere gharme aa jaiye ,Tarika ji.)"
Tarika blushed and smiled looking at the flowers in the garden.
Another message came from Abhijeet.
Message : " Tarika ji , Inn birds ko bohot ghamand hai ,ki inki kilkariya bohot madhur hai. Aap unki pass jake sirf itna keh diziye , " I Love My Abhijeet" . Aap ki madhur awaaz sunke ye sab khud ba khud chup ho jayenge. Bird cases ke jariye apna naam issliye likh diya, taki apko kam se kam mera naam to yaad rahe."
Tarika went to the bird cases and said ,
"I LOVE U ,ABHIJEET."
And surprisingly all birds kept silence for a moment. Tarika smiled brightly.
Meanwhile, Dr. Salunkhe came to her and said,
"Dingi beta , subah subah Abhijeet aya tha . Aur saath me ek van me daal ke ye sab le aya. Maine puchha tha ke kya baat hai. Bol rahatha ye sab meri Tarika ji ke liye hai. Maine kaha tha ke tujhe utha deta hu , par mana kar diya aur muskurake chala gaya. Aur ha, tere puppy ' Planet' ko chhod gaya hai. Keh raha tha ki wo tujhe bohot miss kar raha tha, issliye le aya."
Tarika : " Planet kaha hai ,papa?"
Salunkhe: " Pluto ke saath khel raha hai. pluto ke ghar ke samne hai."
Tarika went there and cuddled 'Planet' with love. her mobile phone again 'beeped'. Another message from Abhijeet.
Message : "Planet pure gharme tumko dhundta rehta tha. Khana bhi kam kar diya tha. Issliye tumhare paas chhodke aya hu. Waise , sach baat to ye hai ki , pura ghar , gharka har ek kona tumko miss kar raha hai. Aur mai ? Mai nehi miss kar raha. Kyu ki mai to tumhari paas hu na ? Tumhari dil me."
Tarika felt a pinch in her heart. She thought with tears in her eyes..." Kaise zinda rahu mai iske bagair? Aisa kyu kar rahe ho ,Abhijeet? Sab kuchh mere liye itna mushkil kyu bana rahe ho? Itna pyaar maat karo mujhse. Kahi mai tumhari pyaar ki gehraiyon me doob na jau."
Tarika gave a message to Abhijeet...
" Apka tohfa humey bohot pasand aya. Apki pyaar pe humey kabhi shak tha hi nehi. Hum jante hai ,bohot pyaar karte hai aap humse. Lekin sirf pyaar se rishtey nehi nibhte Abhijeet. Mere liye apse dur rehna aur mushkil maat banaiye. Kyun ki mai bhi to apse pyaar karti hu na , Abhijeet ji."
Abhijeet took a sigh after reading the message and thought..." Kaise yakeen dilau jaan , mai kitna pachta raha hu. Ek ek pal mar raha hu tumhari bagair. Tumpar ab khudse bhi jyada bharosa hai mujhe . Meri zindegime ajao ,jaan. Plz, mere paas ake mujhe meri saanse wapas kardo. "
2 drops of tears fell down from his eyes.
Some days passed away...Abhirika were busy with their respective works. But ,when they went back to home , only used to think about themselves. Tarika passes her nights cuddling Abhijeet's photo and Abhijeet does the same.
One day, Tarika recieved a call from the manager of that orphanage , where she used to visit with Abhijeet.
Tarika : " Namastey Bihari ji. Kahiye, kaise yaad kiya?"
Bihari:" Namastey madam. Kalto sunday hai. Aap ekbar orphanage aa sakti hai,madam? Ek bohot jaruri kaam tha."
Tarika : " Koi pareshani hai kya? Kuchh hua hai kya, Bihari ji?"
Bihari : " Nehi madam, koi pareshani nehi hai. Ek khushi ki baat hai. Apke liye ek surprise hai. Aap ayenge na ,madam?"
Tarika : " Mai jaroor aungi. Mai subah
11: 30 baje tak pohoch jaungi."
Bihari:" Bohot bohot dhanyabad ,madam. Bachche apki raah dekhegi."
Next day , Tarika reached the orphanage. It was decorated wirh blue and white baloons. Children were dressed in their best attires. All of them welcomed Tarika. Some lovely kids gave her red roses. Tarika gave chocolates ,biscuits and other foods to them. Bihari took her to a separate small house inside the area of the orphanage. The house had only 4 rooms. Infront of the house, there was a name plate . On the name plate, there was written...
DR. TARIKA MEDICAL CARE CENTRE.
2 children were holding ribbon infront of the entrance. 1 child was holding a plate with a scissor placed over it, decorated with rose petals. Tarika was surprised. She looked at Bihari with a questioning gaze.
Bihari : " Abhijeet ji ne pichhle 8 mahino me apke naamse ye chhotasa medical centre banwaya hai anaath bachchoke treatment ke liye. Yaha ka 2 rooms me medical ward banwaya gaya hai. Ek room store jaisa hai , jahape jaroorat ke sadi dawaiya , injections wagera milta hai. Aur choutha kamra ek resident physician ke rehne ke liye hai , jinko trusty ke through appoint kiya gaya hai. Wo doctor sahab 24 hrs yahape rahenge aur jaroorat padhne par bimar bachchon ke elaaj karenge. Ek nurse bhi appointed hai jo pass me hi rehti hai , Medical centre puri tarhase istemaal ke liye taiyar hai. Abhijeet ji ka iccha tha ,ke iska udghatan aaphi ke haaton ho. Plz madam , ribbon cut karke medical centre ki udghatan kijiye."
Tarika was so much surprised. 2 drops of tears slipped from her eyes.
Tarika : " Abhijeet nehi aya?"
Bihari:" Nehi madam. Wo keh rahethe wo busy honge. Udghatan sirf aphi ke haaton ho. Unhone kaha hai ki ,ye aphine banwaya hai ,bass unhone thoda madad kiya hai."
Tarika cut the ribbon and all the children showers rose petals on her. Tarika visited every room , it was beautifully arranged. All the minor facilities were available. 1 small room was also there to be used as mini operetion theatre where minor surgeries can be carried out. She also met with the doctor.
Tarika spent sometimes with the children , played with them and left from the orphanage and bursted out crying. She called Abhijeet.
Abhijeet : " Hello Tarika ji ,apne achanak phone kiya? Sab thik hai na?"
Tarika was trying hard to supress her sobbing.
Tarika : ( teary tone)" Ha Abhijeet. Sab thik hai. Tum kaha ho?"
Abhijeet : " Mai bureau me hu ,Tarika. Mujhe kuchh important files study karni thi. Kyu? Koi kaam tha?"
Tarika : " Tum orphanage aye kyu nehi ,medical centre ke udghatan par?"
Abhijeet : " udghatan ho gaya hai na acche se? Acche se hi hua hoga. Wo kya hai na Tarika ji ,mai busy hu. Kya farak padta hai ?Udghatan to aphi ke haaton se hona tha na. Medical centre aphike naam pe jo hai."
Tarika : " Tumne ye kya kiya Abhijeet? Kya mai itni samman ki haqdaar hu?Tumne ekbaar mujhe bataya tak nehi. Akele akele itna kuchh kiya ,wo bhi mere naam pe ! "
Abhijeet : " Maine kya kiya hai? Workers ne kiya hai ,maine bass khoj khabar kiya ,thode instructions diya ,aur fund diya hai. Aur ye fund aphine diya hai ,Tarika ji. Jo thoda kuchh mere pass hai ,wo sab aphika to hai na? Isse agar apko thodi bhi khushi mili hai , to wohi mere liye bohot kuchh hai. Khair, mai phone rakhti hu. Files study karna hai. Aap sabdhani se ghar chali jana. Bye."
Tarika reached at home . She was engrossed in her thought..." Jis insaan ke dilme mere liye itna pyaar hai, itna samman hai , kya gusse me kiya hua uski ek galti mai maaf nehi kar sakti ?Sab kuchh bhulakar kya hum dono ek nayi shuruyat nehi kar sakte?"
Tarika's mind- " Aur trust? Trust ka kya Tarika? Kisike bhi baaton me ake wo tumpe hamesha ' shak ' karte rahte hai. Aur ye maat vulo ,jo ekbar haat utha sakta hai , wo barbar bhi utha sakta hai. Tum kya chahti ho ,tumhe phirse wohi apmaan , aur wohi zillat ka samna karna pare?"
Tarika - " Nehi! Mai aisa bilkul nehi chahti. Unhe mujhpar jara bhi bishwas nehi hai. Wo phirse mujhpe haat utha sakte hai , aur ye mai bilkul bardast nehi kar sakti. Akhir sade samjhota ek ladki hi kyu kare? Mujhe kathor banna hi padega."
Tarika opened her locket ,saw Abhijeet's pic and said," Sorry Abhijeet, mai tumhare doubt bhare nazar ka samna karke tumhare saath nehi reh sakti. Aur wo thappad? Kaise vul jau mai? Kaise?"
She started crying and after sometimes fell asleep.
Next day...2: 00 p.m...bureau canteen..
Tarika was having her lunch alone . Abhijeet came towards her and said,
Abhijeet :" Tarika ji , aapke paas baithu?"
Tarika:" Abhijeet , tum mere saath itni formal behave kyu kar rahe ho ? Baitho. Tum akele ayeho ? Daya sir kaha hai?"
Abhijeet :" Daya apni khabri se milne gaya hai. Tum bhi to aaj akeli hi baithi ho."
Tarika :" Ha. Wo Shreya aj chhutti par hai na ,aur Purvi aaj lunch nehi karegi .
Issliye akeli hi baithi hu. Tum kal orphanage kyu nehi aye? Bachche khush ho jate tumhe dekhke. Bachchon ke saath bohot maja aya kal."
Abhijeet :" Ana to chahta tha. Phir socha , agar tum mere saath comfortable nehi huyi to? Tarika , mai abhi tak tumse nazre nehi mila pa raha hu. Mai aaj tak ye sochke hairan hu ,ke akhir ussdin mujhe ho kya gaya tha. Itni giri huyi harkat maine kaise kar diya. Tumse maafi mangne se bhi sharam ane laga hai mujhe. Apni nazron me gir gaya hu mai."
Tarika : " Janedo Abhijeet. Mai ussdin ki koi bhi baat yaad nehi karna chahti. Orphanage ka Medical centre bohot accha bana hai. Tumne kab ye sab kiya? Mujheto pata hi nehi chala."
Abhijeet :" Tumko surprise dena chahta tha. Bachchonke khushiyan dekhke tumhari khilta hua chehra dekhna chahta tha. Magar ussdin maine tumhare saath jo kiya, uske baad tumhari saath orphanage janeka himmat nehi kar paya."(His eyes became wet)
Tarika held his hand. Her eyes also became moist .
"Abhijeet , mujhe nehi pata mai tumse kya kahu. Aisa nehi hai ki mai tumhe miss nehi karti , hamesha yaad karti hu tumhe. Lekin uss dinka tumhara wo chehra baar baar meri ankho ke samne ata hai. Mai vula nehi pati."
"Mai janta hu, Tarika. Vulana itna asan bhi nehi hai. Mijhe gussa khud par ata hai. Aaj sirf mere karan, hum dono hi takleef me hai. Mujhe samajhme nehi ata Tarika , tumhe mai kaise yakin dilau ,jo Abhijeet usdin tumhare samne tha , wo aaj mai nehi hu."
Tarika was silent. Abhirika were only looking into each other's eyes. Tears were rolling down from their eyes. After some moments, Abhijeet's phone started ringing and both of them came out of trance. Abhijeet recieved the call and after talking for sometimes, he said,
"Mujhe jana parega. Chalta hu."
Tarika :" Par tumne to kuchh khaya bhi nehi."
Abhijeet:" Urgent hai. Jana parega."
He was about to go. Tarika called him...
Tarika :" Suno , raaste me kuchh kha lena."
Abhijeet smiled, nodded in 'Yes' and left. Tarika also didn't finish her meal and left for lab.
After 3 days...At 7: 00 p.m...Forensic lab
Salunkhe : Dingi , mujhe mera ek dost se milne jana hai. Teri car to garage me hai. Tu ghar kaise jayegi? Ek kaam kar , Abhijeet ko bol tujhe ghar chhod dega."
Tarika :" OK papa. Aap befikar hokar jaiye. Mai chali jaungi."
Dr. Salunkhe left for his friend's residence. After half an hour, Tarika also left the lab. She thought...
"Abhijeet shayed busy hoga. Usko kyu pareshan karna. Mai Taxi se ghar chali jati hu."
Tarika was on the way to her home by Taxi. On a deserted road, suddenly a car was stopped infront of the Taxi. One masked man came out of the car, pointed gun towards Tarika ,sealed her mouth with tape and dragged her into the car. He also threatened the taxi driver not to inform anybody.
The man took Tarika to the top floor of an under construction building . He tied her hands with a rope . Then he removed the tape from her mouth. Tarika shouted...
Tarika :" Koun ho tum? Mujhe yaha kyu laye ho. Tum jante nehi kisse panga le raheho. Agar mere pati ko pata chala ,to tumhare khair nehi !"
Man : " Relax baby ! Tumhare pati ko mai khud bata dunga ki tum kaha ho. Lekin 1 ghante baad. Tumhare analysis report ki adhar par meri patni Sania ko drug dealing ke case me 7 saal ki saja huyi hai. Humari nayi nayi shadi huyi thi. Bohot pyaar karta hu mai usse. Sirf tumhari karan mai apni patni se bichhar gaya hu. Issliye tumhe bhi mai shadishuda zindegi ka sukh bhugatne nehi dunga. Tumhare pati ko tumhari Pavitrata par shak hoga ,aur wo tumse nafrat karne lagega. Barbad kardunga mai tumhari zindegi."
Tarika : " (Teary tone)Dekho , tumhari patni ke paas drugs mila tha. Wo range haaton pakdi gayi thi. Maine sirf uss drugs ka analysis karke confirm kiya ki wo drug hai. Ye meri duty tha. Usko saja kanoon ne diya. Meri zindegi barbad karke tumhe tumhari patni wapas to nehi milegi na."
Man: " Mujhe ye sab samjhanese koi faida nehi. Tumhari zindegi to mai barbad karke hi rahunga."
The man was forwarding towards Tarika.
Tarika cried and shouted..." Dekho , agey maat barna ! Koi hai...Mujhe bachao...Abhijeeeeeet...Abhijeeeeet !"
The man slapped Tarika. Blood was oozing from her corner of the mouth. Then he torn the sleeves and back of her top. Tarika was so much scared.
Man:" Ghabrao maat. Mai tumhe sach much kuchh nehi karunga. Baas tumhari pati ko aisa lagna chahiye ki tumhari saath bohot buda kuchh huya hai. Tumhare lakh kehne par bhi wo tumpe bishwas nehi karega. Medical check up se prove karna chahogi to aur bhi badnaami hogi. Uske baad kounsa pati apni patni ke saath rishta rakhna chahega? Mera kaam to ho gaya, baby. Aab tumhari pati ko sirf phone karke bulane ka der hai."
The man tied Tarika's feet and left the place leaving her alone. She was continuously crying. The man called Abhijeet...
Abhijeet : " Hello , Sr. Inspector Abhijeet here."
Man:" Hello inspector sahab. Kaise hai aap? Pahle bataiye ke aap khare hai, ki baithe huye hai? Agar khare hai to baith jaiye. Kyu ki bohot jod ka jhatka lagne wala hai apko. Apki patni ke bareme kuchh kehna hai mujhe."
Abhijeet : ( With extreme angry tone)" Koun hai tu? Kaha hai meri patni? Usko agar ek kharoch tak aya na, to..."
Man : " Arrey , shant ho jaiye. Itna gussa sehat ke liye thik nehi hai. Apki patni Malad ke 22 no road pe 33 no. Plot ke ek under construction building ki top floor par hai. Bechari ke saath bohot buda hua. Abhi kuchh der pahle maine uski khubsoorati ka maja liya hai. Manna parega , bohot khubsoorat hai apki patni. Bohot maja aya mujhe ."
Abhijeet clenched fist and shouts...
" Kuttey! Juban sambhal ke baat kar ! Tune agar usko chhuya bhi hai na , to teri zindegi ka akhri waqt bohot jald anewala hai."
The man laughed and cut the call. Abhijeet speeded his car and rushed to that under construction building. He saw Tarika lying on the floor. Her cloths were torned in some places , blood was oozing from her forehead and corners of mouth. Abhijeet was dumbstruck. He untied her in a hurry and helped her to get up. Tarika hugged Abhijeet tightly and bursted out crying. Abhijeet hugged her,patted her back and kissed her head.
Abhijeet : " Tarika , Shant ho jao ,plz. Mai hu na tumhare paas. Royo maat. Uss kuttey ko mai chhodunga nehi. Uss haramzade ne tumhe..."(Cut by Tarika)
Tarika : " Nehi Abhijeet . Usne tumse jo kaha hai wo jhut hai. Usne sirf mujhe thappad mara , aur mere kapde fare hai, take tumhe aisa lage ke mere saath..." ( She started crying again)
Abhijeet covered her with his coat.
Abhijeet : " Usne tumhe bataya ke wo koun hai?"
Tarika: " Kuchh din pahle Sania naam ki jis ladki ko drug dealing ke jurm me saja huyi thi , wo usi ka pati hai. Naam malum nehi hai."
Abhijeet went a little away from Tarika , called Daya and gave some instructions and again came closer to Tarika.
Abhijeet : "Chalo Tarika , ghar chalo. Chal paogi ,ya mai uthake le jau?"
Tarika : ( With expectation in her eyes)
" Abhijeet , tumhe mujhpe bishwas hai na? Mai Pavitra hu. Usne mere saath kuchh nehi..."
Abhijeet : " Tarika , shant ho jao. Badme baat karte hai. Chalo ,ghar chalo."
Tarika was continuously crying. She was confused wheather Abhijeet believed her or not. Abhijeet held her tightly in his arms , got down with her and made her sit on the passenger sit of the car and Abhijeet drove the car towards Abhirika's home.
