CORRUPTED BY PAIN

CHAPTER 1

" SIR ISS BAAR TOH YEH RANGA NE BAHOT DIMAG LAGAYA HAI "

Daya said while nodding his head into unintentional admiration,

Rajat agreed with a nod: Haan sir ... CID DELHI , STF yaha tak ki ATS bhi iss baar to usko dhund nahi paaye...

The entire team sighed heavily while two people were standing there in deep thoughts. One was their head, ACP Pradyuman standing by having his back towards them and listening with his usual posture of keeping hands into pocket while siding his coat.

Another was his right hand, SENIOR INSPECTOR ABHIJEET standing a little far from him and biting his lower lip while thinking something...

The entire team shared looks seeing them both completely silent and then looked at Daya...

Daya cleared his throat feeling deep silence from both of their sides and asked being a little hesitant: To sir ab aage kya karna hai ?! ( disappointedly ) khabriyo ka to kehna hai ki yeh RANGA Mumbai me hai hi nahi...( glanced at everybody and added in a sigh ) shayad ab hume Pune jaake hi investigate karna chahiye SIR...

ABHI looked at him while ACP turned towards them with tired expressions

ACP helplessly: Lekin Daya hum logo ko ab ek stand lena padega ... already hume HQ ne bola tha ki RANGA Mumbai me nahi hai... lekin firr bhi humne insist kiya ki voh yahi hai...( nodding in disappointment ) Aur agar ab hum yeh bolenge ki voh Mumbai me nahi hai toh shayad ( sighed ) HQ yeh case humare haath se bhi lele... ( strongly ) aur mein nahi chahta ki baaki departments ki tarah hum bhi naakam ho... ( sternly ) aur yeh RANGA khule aam ghumke jurm pe jurm kiya jaaye...

Completing himself... his gaze had unintentionally and as usual had turned towards his elder son...to have some addition and agreement from him ... but ... completely unusual and a little shocking for him...ABHI HAD JUST NODDED LIGHTLY LIKE EVERYONE ELSE OVER THERE...

Everyone was thinking about the case... BUT ... now ACP was distracted as this silent behavior of his son was nagging him ...

His behavior wasn't cold but had a strange hesitation and silence which he really wasn't able to understand and was getting worried as the same thing is going on for about a week now ...

ACP cleared his throat and firmly said: Sab log apne apne informers ko kaam pe lagao ... bolo ki choti se choti jagah pe dhyaan de ... ye RANGA bach nahi sakega humse ... Aur control room ko bhi alert pe rakho ... Barricading ke liye bolo har bahar jaane ke raaste pe...

All nodded obediently and went away with some taking out their phones and others grabbing the intercom ... AND ... Yet again ABHIJEET TOO WENT AWAY TAKING OUT HIS CELL-PHONE INSTEAD OF STANDING THERE WITH HIM AND DISCUSSING THINGS ...

Daya was about to move for his desk when ACP stopped him with " Daya zara idhar aana "

They went a little far to talk, and ACP fixed his eyes over ABHI, talking on the phone and looking out from the gallery...!

ACP in concern: Daya yeh ABHIJEET ko kya hua hai haan ?! Pichle ek hafte se aise hi chup sa hai... na koi discussion karta na apne suggestions deta ( looked at him ) tumhe pata hai kya kuch ?!

Daya sighed deeply: Aapko to maloom hi hai sir ( ACP frowned a little while he added ) vohi hafte pehele jo usko khabriyo ke saath hua tha...( sadly ) uske liye ab tak khud ko zimmedaar maanke pareshan hai...

ACP's forehead creased all seven lines and he asked agitated: Abhi tak uss baat ko leke beitha hai yeh ( Daya nodded in a sigh while he asked disappointedly ) Tumne apne samjhdaar bhai ko samjhaya nahi kya ki uski galti nahi hai ...

Daya nodding disappointedly: Kitna toh samjhaya sir lekin iske bheje me ghuse baat tab na ...

ACP looked at ABHI in real disappointment but said in a sighing smile: LAGTA HAI AB BAAP KO HI SAMJHANA PADEGA APNE SAMJHDAAR BETE KO ...!

Daya chuckled lightly and got engaged in other works while ACP looked at ABHI once and smiling to himself went into his cabin ...


Darkness had engulfed the city and mostly offices had turned vacant as the clock ticked 9 PM. The CID Bureau was finally locked by the guards after the last person, none other but ABHIJEET ... finally left the bureau after having a call...

AND ... on the other side, ACP was standing in the parking walking to and fro while murmuring frustratedly as

" Iss ladke ko ghar jaana bhi hai ya nahi aaj...pichle ek ghante se parking me wait kar raha hu ... gaadi kharab hone ka natak karke...( jerked his head in annoyance ) Watchman tak ne cycle pe lift dene ka soch liya hoga itne samay me toh..."

BUT ... his murmur ceased as he saw the desired person coming out of the lift and making way towards his car ...

He instantly started pretending to be unknown of his arrival and leaned against his car while closing his eyes and gazing down...looking EXTREMELY TIRED...!

AND ... As expected ... hardly a minute later ... a car stopped in front of him and the person came out having concerned expressions ...

The person lightly kept a hand on his shoulder making him look up with fake surprised expressions...

The person with concern: Kya hua sir ... aap aise parking me kyu khade hai ...

ACP fakely smiled ( pov ): Pehele khud itni der tak khade rakha firr khud hi puch raha hai...Kya hoga ABHIJEET tumhara...

He sighed disappointedly in his mind and looked at him in a slight smile who was looking confused and concerned...

ACP tiredly: Kya batau ABHIJEET...ek to aaj bureau me itna kaam upar se ( hit the bonnet ) yeh gaadi ko bhi aaj hi kharab hona tha ...

ABHI smiled lightly: To sir aap yaha kyu khade rahe ... ek phone kardete mujhe ... mein bureau me hi tha ( ACP gave him a light smile while he added ) chaliye saath hi chal lete hai ...

ACP denying: Are nahi nahi ABHIJEET ... Tum bhi toh thak gaye honge na ... Shambhu gaya hai mechanic laane ... aata hi hoga ...

ABHIJEET disappointedly: Sir kya aap bhi formalities kar rahe hai...aaiye na please...vaise hi bahot raat ho gayi hai chaliye...

ACP smiled at him having exactly as expected and both settled in the car and their journey started in silence ...

...

...

...

...

...

...

After a few mins...

ACP asked confusingly: ABHIJEET hum mere ghar ke taraf kyu jaa rahe hai...?!

ABHIJEET gave him a confused and questioning look: Aapko kahi aur jaana hai kya sir ?!

ACP looked him disappointedly: Mujhe aur kidhar jaana hoga... voh toh aaj Daya ne bataya tha ki tumhe apne khabri se milne jaana hai raat ko... isliye pucha...

ABHI casually: Ha sir jaana hai... mein aapko drop karte hue nikal ja

NAHI!

The immediate shocking voice cut him in the mid and he looked at ACP in shock...

ABHI shockingly-confusingly: Kya hua sir ?!

ACP realized his deliberate act and covered up as: Nahi matlab ABHIJEET tum kya puri raat sadko pe hi ghumte rahoge (seeing his confused expressions said ) Are agar pehele mujhe drop karoge firr khabri se milne jaaoge...bahot time jayega isme...( suggested in a smile ) isse achcha hum log pehele vahi chalte hai...

ABHI concerned: Par sir aap kaafi thake hue hai kaha mere saath pareshan honge...koi fark nahi padta hai mushkil se dus minute extra bass...

ACP smiled at his concern: Nahi ABHIJEET, mein bilkul theek hu aur chalunga bhi tumhare saath...( strongly ) Yeh RANGA bilkul bachna nahi chahiye humare haath se...

ABHI nodded at him and they went together for meeting the informer...
