Abhijeet was lying there on the bed, with a thick blanket wrapped around his body despite the hot atmosphere. His face was pale and his hairs were messy. A deep layer of fatigue was there, over his face, giving a deep dark shade over it.
Daya rushed to him and shook him a bit, only to find him burning in fever. Feeling someone's presence beside him, Abhijeet slowly opened his eyes while Daya found his eyes were blood red. He held his hand softly and asked in concern...
Daya: kab se hain bukhar?
Abhijeet(in tired low tone): kal raat se...
Daya(in anger): wah! Aur janab yahan chup chap laite huye the bukhar lekar! Kal raat hi dawai le lete to itna badhta nahin bukhar...
Abhijeet: nahin yaar... mujhe laga ki apne aap utar...
Daya: utra nahin... badh gaya hain... chalo main mummy aur buaji se kehta hoon, maasi to yahan hain nahin... meeting mein gayi hain... woh tumhe kuch khilake dawai de degi...
Abhijeet: nahin yaar... mujhe sone de zara... theek ho jaunga apne aap... kya faida unhe pareshan karke?
Daya(in anger): chup raho tum! Kal raat bhi kuch nahin khaya tumne... aisi laparwahi karte rahoge to tabiyat zyada kharab ho jayegi... tum araam karo... main mummy ko bhejta hoon...
Abhijeet possessed neither the power nor the will to protest against him. He just closed his eyes, as Daya went towards the door to bring some help for his ill brother, emitted a deep sigh and felt a thin line of tear was rolling down from his left eyes as he turn aside to take some rest with a painful whisper as...
Abhijeet: kash main tumhe sab kuch bata pata Daya! Shayad tab meri yeh dard bhi ghat jata bohot!
As the answer of his "kyun?" Aquilina just smiled and said in harsh tone...
Aquilina: kyun tum nahin samajh rahe ho Abhijeet? Kya aukat tha mera tum logo ke ghar mein? Kuch bhi to nahin... ek show piece jaisi rehti thi main wahan... upar se dekha jaye to mere pass paise, kapdo ka koi kami nahin tha... lekin kya waisa hi tha? Ek ek rupaiye ki hisab dena padta tha mujhe... aisa lagta tha ki ACP Pradyuman ki khairiyat pe zinda doon! Bheekh de rahe ho woh mujhe... upar se yeh mat karo, woh mat karo... azaad zindagi ki swaad kaisa hota hain, bhool hi gayi thi... lekin jati to kahan jati main? Koi aur to tha hi nahin mera... ek akeli aurat ko is duniya mein kya kya bardash karna padta hain, yeh maloom bhi hain tumhe?
Abhijeet was standing there silently in guilty gesture. But hearing all these stupid explanations, his body began to burn like hell. He could not understand how a high classed and intelligent woman like her acted so foolishly. He said...
Abhijeet(in harsh tone): jhooth bol rahi hain aap! Aapko paison ki zaroorat kya thi? Acchi khasi business to hain aapki...
Aquilina: haan hain! Lekin us company par baki dono ki bhi utni hi partnerships hain jitni ki meri... profit teen hisso mein bant jata hain... utne paise kaafi nahin hain mere liye... mujhe aur paise chahiye... sharafat ki raahon mein rehke jitna kama pati thi woh bohot kam hain... isliye gunaah ki raasta hi sahi...
Abhijeet: pagal ho gayi hain aap!
Aquilina: agar tumhe meri baatein pagalpan lage to yeh hi sahi... aur agar ab tum khud ki salamati chahte ho, to chale jaao yahan se...
At that moment, one member of the gang came near them and said in shocked tone...
Member 1: yeh kya keh rahi hain aap madam? Aap Abhijeet ko yahan se jane dengi?
Aquilina(in firm tone): haan!
Member 2: lekin madam humari gang ki to yeh hi rule haina ki koi police wala agar humare adde tak pahuch jata hain to use agle din ki suraj dekhna naseeb nahin hota... aur isne to aapki chehra tak dekh liya... phir?
Aquilina(in deep tone): nahin... jane do use... woh mera apna hain... woh aisa kuch nahin karega... (looking towards Abhijeet)... haina?
Abhijeet(in rude tone): duty ke aage rishtein naate kuch asardar nahin hota... yeh mujhe meri senior ACP Pradyuman ne seekhaya hain...
He picked up the gun within a single moment and pointed it towards Aquilina with...
Abhijeet: koi apni jagah se nahin hilega... warna main tum logo ki boss ki khopdi uda dunga... Abhi ke abhi surrender kar do sab...
But making him shocked, not a single person moved even an inch. He looked towards Aquilina, who smiled broadly looking towards him. Being uncomfortable, he again said in firm tone...
Abhijeet: sunai nahin deta kuch? Surrender kar do abhi ke abhi...
Now Aquilina smirked and then spoke up...
Aquilina: dheere Abhijeet dheere, agar tum hume yahan se pakadke le jaoge na, tab tumhare zindagi ka woh raaz duniye ke saamne aa jayega... haan, tab shayad tumhari zyada badnaami nahin failegi, lekin log mann hi mann tum par thukenge... Hume arrest karke tum Department mein promotion aur thoda izzat to kama loge, lekin duniya ke saamne apni izzat humesha ke liye kho doge... samaj mein tum kayi naya naam kamaoge jaise ki gaddar, dhokebaaz wagera wagera...
Steel strong senior inspector Abhijeet, who had not learnt to bend down before anybody or any weapon, rolled up like a snail with this single threat. He looked towards her with wide open eyes, pale face and the gaze containing hurt and pain of betrayal, which made her smirk externally but Abhijeet, still, could see a shade of pain and guilt in her gaze. She, perhaps, really did not want to do what she was doing!
"Tum dhokebaaz ho Abhijeet!"
"Jis thali mein khaya usi mein ched kiya!"
"Ehsaan faramosh!"
"Himmat kaise ki tumne unhe arrest karne ki?"
" Nahin Abhijeet, iske baad is ghar mein tumhare liye koi jagah nahin hain!"
"NAHIN!"
Abhijeet sat up on his bed with this low pitched scream. His body was totally wet in sweat and his body temperature was normal now! He took some deep breaths and in the very next moment, felt a hand over his shoulder. He jerked and looked upwards, only to find Aquilina standing beside his bed!
He was not at all surprised as he knew that it was Aquilina herself, over whose shoulders the responsibility of taking care of him was present now! Honestly speaking, she herself took his responsibility!
Seeing him looking towards her, she smiled and checked his body temperature slightly. Abhijeet tried to jerk off her hand from his body which made her groan in anger as...
Aquilina: ummmmm! Kya kar rahe ho? Dekhne do mujhe!
Abhijeet: nahin chahiye mujhe aapki...
Aquilina(in anger): chup raho! Dekhne do mujhe!
Abhijeet did not say anything further while Aquilina said in satisfied tone...
Aquilina: haan ab theek ho tum... abhi nahin hain bukhar... utar gaya!
Abhijeet still was silent, he just remained sitting there, on his bed, silently. He was not interested to talk with her. Even two days ago also, he used to respect her so much, like his mother but today, today he just had the feeling of hatred towards her, left in his heart! He just hated her. She was a ruthless and cold blooded criminal whose hands had the blood stains of many people, both criminal and innocent! But unfortunately he could not do anything! Neither he could arrest him nor could tell anybody about her!
He was so helpless! He felt that both of his hands had been cut down despite having both hands attached with his shoulders. The idol of law had been molested in front of him and he was just watching the nasty incident, being tied with strong yet invisible chain.
He was thinking all these when he heard Aquilina's voice, which made him look towards her. Aquilina was sitting in front of him and was speaking in firm tone...
Aquilina: mujhe tumse kuch baat karni hain... kaam ki baat!
She brought out something from a drawer of the cupboard present there and placed it between them with a smile present over her lips while Abhijeet was just shocked to see the thing!
