CHAPTER 12:
FLASHBACK CONTINUATION
...
EVERY HEART SKIPPED A FEW BEATS LISTENING THE NAME...THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO BELIEVE WHAT THEY HEARD... DAYA JUST SNATCHED THE PIECE OF PAPER FROM PURVI'S HANDS AND REMAINED STILL AT HIS PLACE...his fingers were jumping rhythmically, as if in spasm...And then his legs gently folded and he subsided slowly on the chair present, ungainly as a marionette...
"Oh God"...he prayed, don't let that happen...plz not now...they had already lost some parts of the living soul...everytime they suspected HIM for any of the offence and later proved impeccable...the more and more he slid into the silent shell...full of pain and distress...
but what regarding their obligation towards the nation...they are upskilled in their initial days to priorize their duty against amity and fellowship...but what if your soul mate is at odds...
he still motionless...fighting the terrible inner guts...in a situation as similar as "DO OR DIE"...
...
ACP PRADYUMAN unable to figure out the contents of the piece of paper in DAYA'S hands snatched it right away...and he too was dumbfounded...
silence leapt in the air as if a firecracker had gone off, shrieked, wild eyed, bewildered, hands over mouth, nostrils flaring, blood drained from face, mouth opening and shutting like a goldfish with no sound coming out, still as a statue, ridged as a board, face stuck in an incredulous expression, unblinking stare, shaking head in disbelief, sent reeling backwards, brain desperately scrambling to make sense of it all, rendered speechless, temporarily incapacitated, stood as if paralysed from the neck up, gibbering nonsense, unable to comprehend what had just occurred, stood as gormless as a guppy.

...
ABHIJEET looked at the caller id and a sweet flash of smile came on his lips as he was just thinking precisely about the same man...as nothing is more dearer to an ageing father than his son..
but suddenly a grey shade of clouds covered his face...he didn't want to allocate his issues with anyone...which would simply rise everyone's strain...so hesitatingly picked up the call and heard the later as...
A.D:(cheerful tone...)hello CHAMP...kaise ho...
ABHI:(fake happy tone...)hey DAD...i am alright...wese aap kese ho nd what about your meetings..
A.D:main theek hun beta...(irritatingly...)aur inn meetings wagera ka to puchho hi mat...(rising up a query as...)wese udhar kuch problem to nhi hai na...
ABHI:(hesitatingly...)nhi DAD...yahan sab thik hai...aap pareshan mat ho...
A.D:(sensed something wrong in ABHUJEET'S voice...so suspiciously...)kya baat hai beta...yeh tumhari awaaz
ABHI:(he knew he cannot beat his father...but not even say the truth...so lying as...)nhi DAD...bas abhi ek encounter tha...isiliye bohot jyada thak gaya hun...
A.D:(not satisfied but still wrapping up the call as he was getting late...)acha beta...mujhe abhi nikalna hoga...apna dhyaan rakhna aur koi laparwahi mat karna..thik hai...chalo bye...
ABHI:(releasing a sigh of relief..)han DAD..bye...take care...
HE just hung up the call and sat on the chair despondently when heard a call "SIR"...looked towards the source of the call and figured DHRUV standing near the cabin door...so asked confusingly as...
ABHI:(confusingly...)hann DHRUV..
DHRUV:(reminding regarding the meeting as...)sir...woh meeting adhe ghante main start hone vali hai...
ABHI:(hurriedly getting up from the chair...while panicking up and checking the time...)ohh shit...time ka pata hi nahi chala...tum chalo main aa raha hun..
DHRUV:(agreeing and leaving the cabin saying as..)okay sir...the car is ready and we're waiting downstairs...aap aa jaiye...
ABHIJEET left towards the rest room to freshen up and came out after a few mins...wearing an Ermenegildo Zegna Bespoke...adding a dashing look to his personality with Cartier Panthere Glasses and Stuart Weitzman brown edition...giving a complete attire of Z Class business personel...
he glanced himself in the mirror...and left for the deal which was gonna change his life forever...the journey started towards the venue...it seemed a long time than before...HE was feeling much restless indicating a bad omen on the way...and with all this thoughts they reached the dockyard and approached towards cruise...where the deal was gonna take place...
...
...
ABHIJEET along with DHRUV and other securty personnels entered the luxurious suite...and was warmly welcomed by Mr KHANNA and his subordinates...
KHANNA:(welcoming and in a extra sweet tone...)hello.. mysterious tycoon...achha laga aapse milkar...( invigorating tone...)wese aap apna naam...
DHRUV:(interrupting strongly...)Mr Khanna...i am really sorry...but sir sirf kuch hi hours ke liye free hai toh...(fake smile)I think we should start the meeting without wasting much time...
KHANNA:(agreeing reluctantly...)sure...why not..(giving a file to ABHIJEET...and briefing it as...)SIR...iss file mein deal ki saari official and confidential informations hai...agar aap ek baar dekh lein toh...
ABHI:(enquired while reading the file carefully...)toh aap...college students ko campus se pick karke... foreign contries mei recruit karna cahate hain...
KHANNA:(nodding his head affirmatively..)yes SIR...college aur bachoon ki list hum aapko jald hi provide kar denge...
(buttering tone)hume to sirf apki sponsorship cahiye...aur wese bhi apki company to special children ke liye ek NGO ko bhi financially support karti hai...so we are quite hopeful ki...
DHRUV:(again interrupting quite irritatingly as...)hum apko sponsor karenge nhi karenge...ye to list milne ke baad hi bata paenge...aap..(but stooped in the middle feeling a tough glare on himself...he just calmed down his temper and got a assuring nod from ABHIJEET...who started as...)
ABHIi:(seriously...)dekhiye Mr KHANNA...we will be giving our consent very soon...lekin usse pehle i wanna have another congregation with you..so that we can discuss regarding the financial aids and i would definitely be meeting those students...
KHANNA:(smirking hidingly with a forced smile on his face...)sure sir...kal mere farm house mein ek party hai...so we can have the meeting there...
ABHI:(nooded assuringly...)yeah sure...i think its time for me to leave...will be seeing you tomorrow at the party...
THEY left the place swiftly...leaving behind a smirking KHANNA...
KHANNA:(POV){rejoicing the moment with a evil laugh} yehi to main cahta tha...ABS group of companies ki barbadi...(hatefully..)ek baar bas yeh deal ho jaye...phir isse band hone mein jyada der nhi hogi...

PRESENT:
...
A loud growl of thunder brought back ABHIJEET from those fading memories...he looked outside and saw rain drops falling down from the sky...maybe they were reminding HIM that he could cry his heart out...wait wait...not a heart anymore...
that red chamber had changed over the years...not the same any more...not at all...it had locked its doors...( no more ventilation )...the air had turned stagnant... the cobwebs had dwelled in every corner billowing down like curtains...the walls were leaking some of that crimson liquid though not enough to wake it up ...the pipe coated with corrosion ...dripping small drops to the centre of it where the remnants lie...
there has to be a strong wind to come ...to change...to open the doors and windows ... a rain to wash clear that heart ...it has to be someone to fix it...and that someone had already taken their first steps...and again a co incidence...the analeptics were actually the pain killers for HIM...
...
...
he came out from his own world of thought sensing something at his back...and the moment he turned...figured out his DAD trying to get up...he immidiately ran to him and made him lie comfortably...restricting much movements...which could turn fatal...and occupied the stool present just near the bed and started as...
ABHI:(angry and irritated tone with a phase of concern clearly visible...)aap khud ko super hero samajhte hein kya...hmm..kisne kaha tha apko uss waqt uthke jane ki...(soggy tone..)agar tabiyat aur jyada bigad jati to...
...
(ABHIJEET continued blabbering so many things but his DAD was engrossed just staring at the most ever-caring SON...he couldn't get the words clearly but could definitely understand the emotions behind it easily...it is a beautiful thing to watch a well loved son grow into a man of integrity... capable of giving strong love...and its a proud moment being a father to see him spread his wings...and fly as high as an eagle...as HIS SON is a blessing to everyone lucky enough who knows him...he came out from his thoughts as he heard...)
ABHI:(loud tone...)DAD...DAD...aap sun rahe hein...DAD...(A.D looked at him in a jerk...when heard a teasing tone as...)wahh...main yahan itni der se baak raha hun...aur aap apne hi duniya mein khoye hue hain...(softly..)DAD kuch pareshani hai kya...aap aaj kal itne khoye hue rehte hein...
A.D:(assuringly...)kuch nhi hai beta...main bas kuch soch raha tha...(again remembering his behaviour with team..so in a tough tone...)aur tum mujhe bataoge ki chal kya raha hai tumhare dimag mein...mujhe sachme vishwas nahi ho raha hai ki tum ACP sahab ke sath iss kadar badtammezi kar sakte ho...(hurtful..)main khud ek baap hun and i can understand his feelings as well...mujhe tumse yeh ummid nhi thi ABHIJEET...bilkul bhi nhi thi...
ABHI:(protesting immideiately...)lekin DAD...
A.D:(interrupting strongly..)meri baat abhi tak khatam nhi hui hai...(tough tone..)mujhe ek baat batao...agar aaj unki jagah main hota to kya tum yehi behaviour dikhate...(an unwanted silence spread in the room...ABHIJEET was just sitting numb at his place listening the query...after few minutes of silence ABHIJEET started in a low tone...)
ABHI:(low yet strong tone...)nhi DAD...apko shayad hi main kabhi yeh saab kehta...
(dreamy tone..)mene hamesha se hi ACP sir ko apne pita ke roop mein dekha hai...aur shayad na cahte hue bhi aaj bhi unhe apna pita hi manta hun...(painful tone..)lekin jab ek beta apne pita ko apni wajah se tutt ta nazar ata hai...to uss bete ko kuch samajh nhi ata hai...
(with a painful sigh..)aaj jab mera ek pita ese chup chap bed pe leta hua...jindagi aur maut ke beech jung ladh raha tha...aur dusra pita apni maafi ki bheek mangte hue ansson gira raha tha...to mujhe kuch samajh nhi aa raha tha...aur jane anjaane mein mere munh se woh sab nikal gaya...
(and just then he realized what he said...so quickly escaping from the scene...with a stammered tone as...)DA..DAD...aa..apko ab..abhi...aa...aram kar...karna...cahiye...mei...mein A..ADI ko...bula ke...aa..ata hun...(and he left the room leaving behind a smiling father who was sooner gonna get back his old son...)
A.D:(feeling happy...)aakhir aaj dil ki baat munh pe aa hi gayi nawabzade ki...chalo acha hai...(chuckling as..)iss baar unn logon ko bohot jyada papad belne padenge sahab ko manane ke liye...(laughing on his own silly talks as..)aakhir galti ki hai to mere angry bird ko manana bhi to padega na...
(assuring his own heart as...)unn logon shayad jitni bhi badi galti ki ho...lekin mere bache ki khusi ke liye mein har uss saksh ko maaf karne ke liye tayyar hun...(painfully remembering those days as..)mera woh hasta khelta ABHI kahin kho hi gaya tha...che saal pehle...(happily..)lekin aaj fhirse mujhe usme wohi purani jhalak dikhi...(praying deep down from his heart as...)hey bhagwan...plz sab kuch pehle jesa kardo...mere bete ko aur takliff mat do...
