A continuation after the case no. 1242.
Though the case was successfully solved but there was something left unsolved .
In Bureau ...
Abhijeet seemed really busy with his fileworks. Actually he was trying to engross himself over those non essential pile of files.
Daya silently noticed his condition and nodded disapprovingly .
Daya moved towards his desk.
" Ahem.. Abhijeet ", he cleared his throat for attention .
" Kya baat hai ? ", Abhijeet asked shortly.
He seemed disturbed. Maybe, he was not expecting Daya 's interruption.
" Yeh toh mujhe puchna chahiye na? ", Daya joked.
" Dekh Daya, mood sahi nahi hai mera "
" Haan, haan, pata hein. Actually na sab ko pata hein ", Daya replied .
Abhijeet tried to interrupt but Daya continued.
" Abhijeet, Dekho.. Joh kuch bhi ho rahe isse na tum khush ho na Tarika. Idhar tum naraz ho udhar woh soch rahe ki you should apologize . Areh kisi ko toh agey badhna parega na? Ya phir tum dono itna immature ho ki etni si baaton ke liye rishta todogey? ", he asked in a questioning manner.
" Hmm.. okay, Par.. kis rishtey ki baat kar rahe ho tum? "
" Areh bhai ego ko maro goli. Ek min.. yahin baat tumney shayed Tarika ko bhi boley? Kya yaar, itna sakhti se kaun pesh atey hein? "
" Haan kyun ki usney kahaan humerein bich jo kuch bhi tha woh khatam ", Abhijeet spoke in a spontaneous way.
" Aur tumne muh ke upar yeh bol diya ke koi rishta hein he nahi ", Daya concluded.
" Ek minute .. ek minute tumhe kaise pata ke meine yeh sab boley hein? "
" Meri chodo sab ko pata hein ", he joked.
Abhijeet exclaimed and his jaw dropped.
" Dr. Salunkhe bhi tha na waha. As she was sad and was crying toh unhoney hein sambhala na Tarika ko "
" Sambhala ya dimaag ka dahi banaya? Suljhe huye matter ko aur bhi uljha diya. Tabhi toh mein sochu ke Tarika ji aisa kyun kar rahi? ", Abhijeet murmured.
" Jo bhi kiya ho tumhare tarha Tarika ko halath pe toh nahi choda na? ", Daya replied.
" Ek min.. ek min tum kabse unkey side leney lage? huh? "
" Areh haan, yaad aya last case mein bhi tumne mujhe bataye wager hein forensic walon ko information de diya. Yeh toh bhul hein gaya tha mein ", Abhijeet said in a one go.
" Forensic walon?! Haha! Abhijeet kya tum bhi! ", Daya laughed.
" Dekh.. ye ye yeh baat ko palat maat. Do answer me "
" Mujhe laga isse unkey kam mein asaani hoga. Toh bata diya. Accha, listen Abhijeet, hum kyun time waste kar rahe fizul ke batein karke. I think you are missing her badly ", Daya paused.
" I know you are. No, no no donot deny. You are very bad at lying ", Daya added.
" Mai.. mai kisiko miss nahi kar raha ", Abhijeet uttered in a low voice.
" Thik hai, par pata hai koi aur bhi tumhare yaadon mein aansu baha rahein " , Daya pressed the word.
That made him feel sad .
" Did he made her cry? Is she okay now? ", he thought.
Daya smiled over his silence .
" Toh, Kya socha? Ab kuch karna bhi hein? "
" Tujhe kya lagta hein? Meine... kuch nahi kiya hongey? ", Abhijeet uttered.
" Oh ho, Chupe Rustam! Toh matter solve kar liya hai tum logone? Kya Faltu ka bhashan de raha hoon tabse phir. Rokhna chahiye tha na? ", Daya smiled.
" Nahi... ", Abhijeet cut him.
Daya raised his brows in a questioning manner..
" Gaya tha.. mai forensic unse milney. Sab kuch clear karne... "
Flashback...
He was walking his way towards the forensic lab, trying to decide what to say.
He stopped for a while..
Looking at his own reflection on the glass window, he spoke to himself
"Tarika ji, I am sorry! " .
" Sorry bol doon? Nahi nahi .. galti sirf mera hai kya? Lekin meine bhi toh kuch zyada hein bol diya tha ", he calculated.
" Arghh .. Joh hoga dekha jaye ga ", Silently pushing the door, he stepped inside.
He looked for her, suddenly a soft smile crept across his face.
How utterly beautiful she was looking in that blue top! He wondered.
" Wait.. Isn't the same top that I chosed for her? Yes, it is ", he smiled broadly.
She was so engrossed with her work that didn't noticed him.
She was keenly examining the body. He moved closer and cleared his throat for no reason.
She eyed towards him and then passed him a sweet smile. He smiled back and move a bit closer. With a thought that everything is absolutely fine.
He was about to say something but she cut him saying,
" Good morning, Sir ", she wished her with a teasing smile and he made a face.
" Hello ", he replied plainly.
She started removing the sheet from the corpse body.
" Yeh.. kya kar rahi ho tum? ", he asked in confusion.
" Lash ko postmortem ke liye taiyar karna hai "
She dipped a cotton ball into formalin and started rubbing it over the corpse chest area .
That repulsive, nose pinching odor of formalin was almost making him choked.
" Damn.. ", he stepped back.
" Here, have it ", she passed him a mask. Then again started examining.
He kept watching her.
Silence..
" Apko kuch kam tha, Sir? ", she asked plainly and her tone made him mad.
He made a tight fist to control his anger. He breathed out heavily.
" Tarika... ", he uttered slowly.
" Yes, Sir! ", she replied.
" Would you just stop calling me, Sir! ", he burst out.
" Excuse me ", she passed him a look.
" Listen Tarika, I.. we need to talk ", finally he spoke.
She kept mumb and with a magnifying glass she started examining every detail.
Her continuous ignorance was driving him crazy.
" We will inform you if we get any clue. Filhal toh we really donot have any evidence . Postmortem ke baad hein kuch bata payenge hum ", she replied in a professional way.
" I am not talking about the case , Tarika? "
" Toh, apko kis bare mein baat karna tha, Sir? ", she pressed the word.
" When I mentioned , ' WE ' then it definitely mean something personal, Tarika. And I know you are aware of it. So, just stop all this nonsense "
" Nonsense! ", she uttered.
" Tarika.. ", he soften his tone.
" You are my respective senior! So, I have had to call you, Sir "
" Are you kidding me, Tarika? Humarein bich mein senior - junior wala rishta kabse honey laga? ", he faced her.
" Aisa kaunsa rishta tha? Kuch bhi toh nahi tha ", she looked directly into his eyes.
That pinched his heart. He cursed himself for uttering those disrespectful word.
She again get busy with her work.
Silence..
" Yeh, Naitik Tattoo artist tha? ", she asked.
" Hmm "
" Phir bhi iskey body mein zyada tattoo nahi hai.. "
" Kya matlab? ", he was confuse.
" Zyada tar tattoo artists apne body mein experiment karte hai. Alag alag tattoo banatey ", she clarified.
" Hmm "
Her eyes captured a small tattoo and that made her smile..
" Te amo! ", she uttered.
" Huh? ", he exclaimed.
" Here, see ", she point towards a Tattoo.
" Log bhi pyar mein kya kya nahi kartay! ", she sang.
He eyed towards her.
" Te amo ka matlab pata hai apko? ", she asked.
" Aain! ", he was confuse.
She just passed him a smile.
" Wow! Six packs.. ", she uttered loudly .
" Lash hein toh hai! ", he murmured.
" Kuch kaha tumne? ", she replied.
" Chalo atleast ap se tum toh kaha ", he got a great relief.
" I mean apne.. ", she added and he made a face.
" Enough naa Tarika ", he passed her a helpless look.
" Kya hua, Sir? ", she teased him more.
" Areh.. phirse ", her behaviour was raising his anger bar.
" Yeh Naitik ke do girlfriend the nah? Haan waise kuch baat toh tha ismein. Kafi handsome hai.. hai na? ", she smirked.
" Tum Necrophiliac ho? ", he uttered in a spontaneous way.
" Kya? "
" Hmpff ", he look another way.
She noticed him.. sensed his insecurities.
" Haha.. Oh my God ", and burst out in laughter.
" Don't tell me ki tum.. tum iss lash se jealous ho ", she laughed.
" Tarika.. "
" Haha.. lash se bhi jealous, seriously ", she laughed more.
" Stop it ", he yelled that made her shivered.
" Tab se mein pareshan ho raha hoon. Aur tum ho ki mazak bana rahe ho "
" Abhijeet, I was just.. ", She tried to explain wearing a smiley face.
" Kya? kitna pareshan tha mai "
" Areh.. dekho "
" What? ", he cut her.
" Tum is tarha se kyun baat kar rahe ho mujhse? ", her voice crack.
" Toh aur kis tarha se baat karu ", he uttered and in a very second he felt really guilt.
" Aahmm I am Sorry. Dekho thoda hyper ho gaya tha mai ", he was feeling sorry.
" Rehne do ", she showed him palm.
" Tarika.. "
" I dont wanna talk to you.. so, just leave ", she managed to speak.
" Areh suno toh "
" Mujhe nahi sunna "
" You know, Salunkhe Sir was right ", she added.
" Matlab? kya kahan unhoney ? "
" Tumhe usse kya matlab? Bas itna jano joh kaha sahi kaha. I was wrong ", she concluded.
" Listen, we can sought it out ", he tried to explain.
" No need ", she lowered her gaze. Maybe to control her tears.
" Tarika... "
" Just leave.. "
Flashback ended...
Daya 's jaw dropped.
Silence..
" Ab kuch bol bhi ", Abhijeet asked desparetly.
" Ab toh tumhe uparwala hein bacha sakhte "
" Accha ismein mera kya galti? "
" Tumhara kya galti! Areh pura ka pura tumhara hein galti hai ", Daya uttered.
" Kya kya matlab kya? "
" Areh woh ladki naraz hona jayez hai par tum.. tum kyun uspe chillai? "
" I could not control my anger ", he replied plainly.
" Tum aur tumhara gussa ", Daya nodded disprovingly.
" Ab kya karein phir "
" Sochte hai ", Daya crossed his arm.
Silence...
" Okay, I have a plan. ", Daya smiled.
