CHAPTER 1
ACP sir's home was having liveliness as a small get-together cum party of CID MUMBAI Team was happening in the home...
The Team was chatting happily and the head of the team was sitting while silently smiling and taking part in the conversations only when involved in it...
Pankaj relieved: Sir finally yeh case solve ho gaya ( fakely wiping sweat ) sachme paseene chudwa diye iss case ne...
Freddy stretching his body: Ha yarr bilkul raato ki neend udwa di upar se DCP ne dimag kharab kiya alag...ab thoda aaram mil raha hai...
Pankaj sadly: Daya sir yaha hote toh zyada maza aata...lekin unko urgently Pune jaana pada...iss case ke chakkar me...
They nodded sadly. Actually, the team was busy in a high-profile case since last week, and finally today they had solved it after so much hard work. ACP sir organized a party for them in his home itself after working tirelessly for the whole week.
But, the CID TEAM instead of being happy was surprised as it was the first time he was keeping any get-together in his home, in fact, he does not even like it if people come to his home to meet him. This behavior of him always confuses them but who dare to ask this from THE ACP PRADYUMAN, and the irony is that the people who could ask him the reason already knows it well and thus it remains the first mystery for the elite team.
The team was chatting casually when Shreya suddenly said surprisingly while looking around: Sir aapka ghar kaafi sundar hai aur bahot achche se maintain kiya hai aapne...
Others too nodded in a smile while looking around at the home. The home was modernly designed and furnished, with a huge living room and at the side, there were transparent ceiling to floor windows giving a view of the beautiful garden.
Freddy in a smile: Ha sir bahot sundar hai...
ACP simply said in a small smile: Thank you
Purvi in a smile pointed at the vintage large clock mounted at the stairway: Aur sir voh vintage clock bahot hi zyada achchi lag rahi hai stairway pe, especially uska Roman style...
ACP sir gave a silent smile then looked down while Salunkhe sighed sadly as he knew his friend's silence.
Salunkhe in a jolly tone changing the topic: Vaise bhai pichle dino itna kaam karwaya humse to koi gift dene ki tameez hai ya nahi tumhare iss ACP ko
All chuckled while ACP sir nodded in disappointment: Ha bhai tune hi toh sabse zyada kaam kiya hai isliye pehele tujhe hi gift dunga ( Everyone smiled while he stood up ) achcha vaise chalo tum sab study me rakha meine kuch tumhare liye...
Everyone stood up happily and followed him with a smile...
They entered his study room and ACP sir opened the drawer and took out some boxes...
ACP in a small smile: Meine tum sab ke liye name engraved pens banwaye the...
All smiled and ACP sir started giving everyone their gifts when suddenly Purvi noticed a photo frame on the table and picking it up asked in a confused smile: Sir yeh kiski photo hai ?
ACP looked in her direction and got shocked and instantly looked at his desk ( pov ): Yeh photo kal raat yahi reh gayi kya ( disappointed ) mujhe yaad hi nahi raha yaha laane se pehele chupana...
Till the time others too had joined her to look at the photograph including Salunkhe...
Salunkhe teasing: Dikhao Purvi mein bhi to dekhu mera dost kis ki photo dekhta hai ghanto apne study room me beithke...
All chuckled and Purvi in a smile forwarded the frame to them, they looked at it and got confused while Salunkhe sir sighed sadly and looked at his friend who looked down not meeting his friend's gaze...
The picture was of a boy looking in teenage holding a big-shiny trophy and having a broad smile on his face looking really happy. Even in the 7-inch photograph, the deep expressive eyes of the lad were mesmerizing everyone, his black silky hair spread on his forehead complimenting his chocolaty complexion and sharp features. His eyes were beaming with happiness and innocence which was so much visible in the picture itself.
HOW EXPRESSIVE HE WOULD BE IN THE REALITY? They thought this getting amazed by the boy's personality...
Freddy in a confused smile: Sir yeh bachcha kaun hai ?
Salunkhe looked at his buddy with a continuous gaze who sighed and said: Yeh mera beta hai ( after a pause ) ABHIJEET...
Everyone surprised while Freddy asked in surprise-confused: Sir pehele to kabhi aapke bete ke baare me nahi suna...
Shreya nodded in support: Ha sir kabhi aapse kuch suna nahi balki pure ghar me koi picture bhi nahi hai...
ACP rubbing his forehead: Ha voh bass aise hi kabhi mauka nahi mila jo tum logo ko batata aur photos aise hi nahi lagayi
Pankaj in confusion: To sir yeh to abhi school me hi hoga firr yaha aapke saath nahi rehta ?
ACP in a smile: Yeh school me nahi hai...USA me job hai uski
Everyone surprised and instantly looked at the photograph more carefully...
Pankaj scratching his head: Sir yeh thode chote nahi lag rahe uss hisab se ? Aapke paas nayi picture nahi hai unki ?
ACP shocked and got nervous but before he says anything, the servant came in to inform that the lunch is served...
ACP in a smile: Chalo sab log pehele lunch karte hai firr baate karenge...
All nodded in a smile and went out keeping the picture back on the table while ACP sir as soon as they left picked up the photograph and instantly secured it in a drawer while Salunkhe sighed and kept a hand on his shoulder...
Salunkhe sadly: Jab itna yaad karte ho to bula kyu nahi lete ?
ACP hiding his eyes said stiffly: Meine kahi nahi bheja tha use apne mann se gaya tha samjha tu aur isliye mein bulaunga bhi nahi...
Salunkhe in a bit anger: Aur gaya kyu voh nahi maloom tumhe ? Apne bete se ego rakhke beithe ho tum...
ACP looked away: Maana meri galti thi Salunkhe lekin aisa nahi tha ki usne kuch kiya hi nahi tha...voh chahta toh bata sakta tha mujhe lekin nahi bataya...( angrily ) aur ego mein nahi voh rakhke beitha hai apne hi baap ke khilaf ( hiding his emotions ) JAB PICHLE CHE SAALO ME EK PHONE KARNE KA NAHI SOCHA USNE TO MUJHE BHI USKE BAARE ME KOI BAAT NAHI KARNI HAI
He instantly went out of the room to not look weak while
Salunkhe sighed disappointedly: Yeh dono baap-bete ek dusre ke carboncopy hai aur dono hi bhool jaate hai ki yeh ek dusre pe gaye hai...( nodded in disappointment ) bass bhagwan se yehi dua hai ki kahi Abhijeet galat raaste pe na bhatak gaya ho... aakhir pichle che saalo se usne kisise baat nahi ki ( sadly ) aur firr hai to bachcha hi voh bhi alag desh me...
He sighed sadly and went out of the room.

After some time, the team left and ACP sir too came in the hall after seeing them off when stopped suddenly and looked at his home,
SIR AAPKA GHAR KITNA SUNDAR HAI AUR BAHOT ACHCHA MAINTAIN KIYA HAI AAPNE...
ACP chuckled ( pov ): Sundar toh hai aakhir usne jo decorate kiya tha aur firr uske jaane ke baad maintain kaise nahi karta ( sadly ) kam se kam ghar ko uski tarah rakhne se uske hone ka ehsaas toh hota hai
SIR VOH VINTAGE CLOCK BAHOT HI ZYADA ACHCHI LAG RAHI HAI STAIRWAY PE ESPECIALLY USKA ROMAN STYLE
ACP smiled disappointedly ( pov ): Achchi kyu nahi lagegi bhai mahashay ne designer ko do din tak bhagaya tha aisi clock dhundne ke liye uske baad pure ghar me lagwake dekhi thi voh tab jaake stairway ko final kiya usne
SIR PURE GHAR ME EK BHI PICTURE NAHI HAI
ACP smiled sadly ( pov ): Pictures jiski hoti thi deewaro pe jab usne hi nikaldi toh mein kya lagata
SIR YEH THODE CHOTE NAHI LAG RAHE USS HISAB SE
ACP sighed painfully ( pov ): Chota toh tha voh jab itna sab kuch jhela usne aur voh bhi bilkul akele...LEKIN... He just sighed remembering all that.
HE REMEMBERED THE SURPRISED FACES OF THE TEAM MEMBERS WHEN HE TOLD TO COME AT HIS HOME FOR A GET-TOGETHER
ACP sadly ( pov ): Jiske aane ka intezaar hai jab voh hi nahi aata toh baakiyo ko bula ke kya karunga ghar me
APNE BETE SE HI EGO RAKHKE BEITHE HO TUM
ACP's body suddenly stiffened ( pov ): Agar voh itna chota hoke mujhse ego rakh sakta hai toh mein bhi ussi ka baap hu EK BAAR JAANE SE PEHELE MILA TAK NAHI THA AUR NAA HI PICHLE CHE SAALO ME EK BHI BAAR PHONE KIYA HAI ( annoyed ) upar se najaane kaisi university me padha hai... ek baar bhi baap ko nahi bulaya... kam se kam tab to use phone karna padta ( realizing something added in disappointment ) bulaya bhi hoga toh apni aatashi aankhe dikhayi hogi jiske saamne kiski chalti hai hunhhh
The USA, The bedroom of the Flat resident;
A person was lying on the bed looking quite restless in his sleep...
...
...
...
...
...
TUMHARE JAISA BETA HONE SE ACHCHA TO MEIN ZINDAGI BHAR BE-AULAD REHTA...
AGAR ISS GHAR KE BAHAR KADAM BHI RAKHA TO MERA AUR TUMHARA RISHTA HAMESHA KE LIYE KHATAM HO JAYEGA...
PURI ZINDAGI SIRF ISS KAMRE ME BAND RAHOGE TUM...
MERA KOI BETA NAHI HAI...TUM MAR GAYE HO MERE LIYE...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
He opened his eyes with a jerk and immediately looked around while sitting on the bed.
Understanding that it was just THE SAME NIGHTMARE for LAST 6 YEARS, He sighed and wiped his sweaty face.
He got down and directly went into the attached washroom and stood in front of the mirror silently seeing his reflection. His hair messy falling upon the chocolaty complexioned forehead. His eyes were deep and intense.
He smiled silently: NAHI LAGATA HU MEIN AAPKA NAAM AB...CHE SAAL PEHELE HI LAGANA CHODD DIYA THA ( chuckled ) aur naa hi apne pita ke naam me aapka naam bolta hu isliye chinta matt kijiye aur beizatti nahi karwaunga aapki...
He smiled ruefully and splashed water at his face and again looked in the mirror saying in determined-anger: ABHIJEET PRADYUMAN SHEKHAWAT SAALO PEHELE HI MUMBAI ME MAR GAYA THA ( FIERCELY ) ZINDA HAI AB TO SIRF AUR SIRF ABHIJEET...
ACP sir made his way towards the study room. He entered in and settling on his chair picked up his novel to complete when unintentionally he looked at the drawer where he kept Abhijeet's picture. He jerked his head and again concentrated on his book, but he couldn't read properly, so he sighed and closed the book keeping it aside.
He looked at some indefinite point for a while and then opened the drawer, he took out the picture and kept starring at it for around a minute when,
HE REMEMBERED THE SURPRISED FACES OF THE TEAM MEMBERS SEEING THIS PHOTOGRAPH
Unknowingly a smile lit upon his face and he faired a hand on his picture: Tumne toh vaise photo se hi unko apni aankho me gum karwa diya ( chuckled ) jab tak unn aankho me aag nahi aati na tab tak sabko mann karta hai unn aankho me dekhte rehna ka...
He smiled moistly and hugged that picture near to his heart while relaxing in his seat...
IN USA,
A luxurious car halted in front of the huge office of an MNC and a dashing figure came out clad in a three-piece suit looking absolutely stunning.
Being in a really senior position at such a young age just makes people marvel at him... and what shall say about the girls cuz they literally fall for him just by a mere glance...
With as usual authoritative steps, he entered into the hall seeing whom everyone stood up to wish morning. He acknowledged them by a slight nod while walking towards his cabin followed by a chauffeur with his belongings...
A peon immediately opened the door of the cabin entitled as,
ABHIJEET
THE VICE PRESIDENT
THE OLENO-TECHNO GROUPS
ACP had dozed off in the study itself hugging the picture near to his heart when his mobile phone rang loudly...breaking the deep silence of the surrounding.
He jerked instantly from sleep and sighed looking around. He received the phone flashing the name DCP CHITROLE
ON-CALL:-
ACP sighing: Kahiye sir...raat ko bhi chein nahi hai aapko...
DCP sarcastically: Haan bhai ab hume to kaam karna padta hai... tumhari tarah khush kismat nahi hu na jo logo ko party deta rahu choti choti baato pe ( ACP shook his head disappointedly while he added inflow ) ITNE ACHCHE AGAR ABHIJEET KE SAATH HUE HOTE TOH VOH BECHARA..
BUT...he stopped in mid realizing his flow and felt deep silence from the other side...
He sighed disappointedly on himself and said in a slight awkwardness: Pradyuman mera voh matlab nahi...
ACP interrupted stiffly: Aapne bataya nahi sir kya kaam tha...Koi case hai kya ?!
DCP sighed: Haan...ek civil engineering firm ka hai...( seriously ) jisme hume shak hai ki voh log bahot bada scam kar rahe hai...
ACP confused: Kaisa scam ?
DCP seriously: Unn logo ko India me kaafi bade bade projects diye gaye hai...bridges vagera ka jisme hume shak hai ki voh log quality kaam nahi kar rahe hai jisse logo ki jaan ko khatra hai ( in disgust ) balki hume pura vishwas bhi hai ki jo do mahine pehele residential building girne se...sauiyo logo ki maut hui thi unke peeche bhi yehi the...
ACP shocked: Kya! Voh building bhi unhone banayi thi...
DCP in a low tone: Hmm...
ACP disgusted: kitne gire hue log hai yeh...kitne logo ki jaan gayi thi uss building ke girne se...aur inko sirf apne paiso ki padi hai ( angrily ) aise haiwano ko toh khud hi maar dena chahiye...
DCP calmly: Shant ho jaao ACP...in logo ko inki saza dilwane ke liye hi hume saboot dhundne hai aur meine yeh case tumhe dene ka socha hai...Baaki tum batao?!
ACP determined: Bilkul sir, meri team hi yeh solve karegi aur unn logo ko fasi tak pahochaegi...
DCP smiled: Yehi ummed thi tumse...Kal HQ aake saari details le lena...
ACP nodded: Okay sir ( confused ) lekin aapne naam nahi bataya company ka...
DCP seriously: Ek MNC hai jiska main head quarter USA me hai...aur naam hai THE OLENO-TECHNO GROUPS
ACP thoughtfully: Hmm okay sir...mein kal milta hu aapse firr...
And they disconnected the call after some more talks while...
ACP sighed while shoving his phone aside...
" ITNE ACHCHE AGAR ABHIJEET KE SAATH HUE HOTE "
He smiled ruefully and unintentionally he opened a diary's bookmarked page and started writing something...
HE WAS WRITING SOMETHING CONTINUOUSLY AND IT SEEMED THAT THE WORDS WEREN'T COMING FROM HIS MIND, IT WAS HIS SOUL WHO WAS EXPELLING HIS HEART OUT ON THE PAPER.
After a few mins, he stopped scribbling and looked at his work with a continuous gaze,
...
...
...
...
Guzar Diye Honge Tumne Kai Din Mahine Sal…
Jo kaat na sakoge voh ek RAAT mein hu,
Ki hogi guftgu Tumne kai dafa kai logon se…
Dil per jo lagegi voh ek BAAT mein hu,
Bheed me jab tanha khud ko tum paoge…
Apne-pan ka ehsaas jo kara de voh SAATH mein hu,
Bitaye honge tumne Kai Hasin Pal sabke saath me…
Jo bhula nahi paoge voh ek YAAD mein hun!
...
...
...
...
He in a trance faired his fingers upon the page, how precisely it matches with the situation...!
He was craving badly to feel his son the same way, BUT,
He sighed sadly, ACP PRADYUMAN surely has an edge over others by keeping his emotions to himself,
Being extremely dedicated to his duty towards the nation, he never allowed his personal problem to hinder his passion...
BUTTTT at the last is a HUMAN...
He was aging like a normal person, how much he denies but he has entered his old age and now he do longs for his family, his son!
BUTTTT...Who would be more unfortunate than him?! Who is getting the return of his selfless service towards the nation by FAILING EXCEPTIONALLY in his duties as a DAD...
HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW IF HE WOULD BE ABLE TO SEE HIS SON AGAIN IN HIS REMAINING LIFETIME OR NOT?!

END OF THE CHAPTER...
HOPE YOU LIKED IT ?! :))
So what had happened 6 years before?! Why haven't they even heard each other's voice for the last 6 years?! Has ABHIJEET really came onto the wrong path?! Now, what will happen when the ACP PRADYUMAN is determined to punish the company unknown of the fact that his son is an integral part of it?! Would even after the 6 years, they'll meet like this?! Will this HATRED overpower the HIDDEN LOVE?!
Stay Tuned guys :-)
The next chappy would be after...80 REVIEWS...
Waiting anxiously for your views :)) Can tell if want something to get added into this...I will as usual try my best... :))
Like my every story, even this would be pretty long ( stretched 😓😓 ) because in the starting, the separate lives would be shown, and then even the past has to be revealed which is really happening and long...so yeah like LR this story would also have many flashbacks...right now I have just made a rough sketch of it, so you can tell your requests...
A/N- PK's and WR's update would be in a few days and as usual, give me time for JNM...😅😅 Hope you understand...
Take Care and Byeeeee!
