HEY GUYS...THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRECIOUS REVIEWS...IT REALLY DO MEANS A LOT...

DO EVEN CHECK OUT THE FIRST CHAPTER OF "A TWIST OF FATE"...MISSING MANY OF YOU OVER THERE TOO...

NOW HAVE A HAPPY READING...

...

...

CHAPTER 20:

...

everybody turned towards the source of sound and literally pat their heads...finding out the most annoying creature of CID MUMBAI...yeah...you got that right...DCP CHITROLE...but no matter what he too was a member of the precious bond...


...

HE never ever shared a good relation with the team and especially with the laying figure in the hospital room, BUT HE was also the one who used to boast in front of the higher officials claiming CID MUMBAI and its officer to be the best...

yeah...HE always insulted and taunted the officers in the domain, so that the intruders don't ever get a chance to do so...with the elucidation, "tum har kisi ke movie ke hero ban sako, issi liye tumhari har movie ka mogambo to kabhi daku shakal bana..."

...


ACP:(shockingly...)sirrrr...aap yahan...

AD:(with a smile...)hann...mene hi bulaya hai isse...(naughtily...)taki kabhi apni office ki bahar ki duniya dekh le...(everyone was staring at PRAMOD shockingly...finding such informal behaviour...when again heard... )

DCP:(discombobulatedly...)areh aab to bohot kuch dikha diya hai isss chote se zindagi ne...


...

it was not the same voice of DCP which used to threaten the officers for not doing work...

it was not the voice which used to be always cheerful while asking any stupid or random question...

it was not even that voice which boasted proudly of THEM being the best officers in front of the outer world...

it was not that which used by a bit gloomy when MONA, his girlfriend used to be angry on him...

...

BUTTT it was yet something different with certain hollowness and blankness...which hit hard in the hearts of the tough officers...making them even realize that HE was a human too...having a heart...which pumped and felt as like others...

...


AD:(changing the environment...)hann...mujh jese jawan to ho nahi...to...

DCP:(annoyingly...)chuppp...karo tum...bade aye...(imitating ..)jawan nahi ho...to tum jese bees saal ke ho...hann...(but stopped upon getting a continuous stare...so turned his neck towards the officers and found them staring at him confusingly...so asked in his usual tone...)aur tumm log mujhe ese kyun ghur rahe ho...hann...koi joker lagta hun kya...

DAYA:(murmured under his breath, controlling the outburst...)lagne mein kya hai...woh to aap ho hi...

DCP:(suspiciously...)kya bola timne...hann...sunai nahi diya...

DAYA:(stutteringly...)ar..areh nah..nahi SI..SIRR kuch na..nahi...(with a fake smile...)main aap ko kahan kuch bolunga...

DCP:hann hann thik hai...tum kah...

AD:(interrupted annoyingly...)areh kya yaar tum log yahan ladne lag gaye ho...(pointing to the room...)yahan unn janab ka gussa shant nahi ho raha hai...aur tum log bhi chalu ho gaye...ek kaam karo...ek hi baar mein mujhe pagaal bano lo...kyun...pata nahi tum logon ko CID officer kisne banaya...kisi drama company mein koi play wagera karte to acha hota...hunh...

(glancing to DHRUV who was already staring him shockingly...)ek to hum dono milke tum logon ko milane ke liye itna dimag laga rahe hein...aur tum log ho ki...

...


HE stopped panting for breath...while the everyone who were till now shocked, broke out in a hysterical laugh...and a shy smile came dangling on PRAMOD'S lips too...


...

...

AD:(seriously...after getting a nod from DHRUV...)achaa...bohot ho gaya hasi mazak...aaj jiss cheez ke liye tum logon ko yahan bulaya hai, uss pe aate hein...(pointing to DCP...)yeh jo tum logon ka DCP hai, yeh mere college time ka dost hai...(everyone shocked...when HE again continued...)hann...sahi suna tum logon ne...

ACP:(interrupted shockingly...)to phirr inhe ABHIJEET ke bare mein kese nahi pata tha ki...woh tumhara beta hai...

DCP:(giving a fiery glance to AD...)kuch logon ko sach chupane ka bada shouk rehta hai...to...hume kahan kuch batane ka mann karega...kyun...

AD:chal chal thik hai...jyada tane mat mar...

(to the team...)tum logon ko to mere profession ka pata hai hi...(team nodded understandingly...)...aur usme agar mein puri duniya ke samne ABHIJEET ko apna beta kehke khada kar deta to uspe bhi aur jyada khatra aajata...bas isiliye sirf gine chune logon ko hi sach pata tha...

(painfully...)nahi to puri duniya ke samne, ANITA ke saath ABHIJEET bhi uss car accident mein mar gaya tha...(coming out from the painful trance...)lekin woh sab cheezein chodo...aab baas kisi bhi tarah hume ABHIJEET ko manana hai...aur uske liye...

DHRUV:(taking the charge...)hum dono ke pass ek plan hai...aur woh yeh hai ki...****

...

...


the figure laying on the hospital bed...drifted in deep slumber due to prolong sedatives, however seemed to be disturbed...due to the nightmares which came in visual puns and communicating metaphor, as the creative dreaming brain does...offering suggestions and seeking answers in return, showing the reel of horrifying past...


...

FLASHBACK:

...

ACP:(roared up like a lion...)bolooo ABHIJEET...kahan rakha hai tumne unn baachon ko kidnap karke...

ABHI:(shockingly...)kidnap... yeh.. yeh kya keh rhe h sir aap...(continued in the same tone...making the atmosphere even more degraded...)m.. mai kyun kidnap krunga...kis..kisi ko b..bhi...

ACP:(losing his temper badly with each proceeding lies...)tumne kidnap nhi kiya...(taunting) toh bachhe ese.. apne aap hi gayab ho gaye kya...(shouted...)hannn...

ABHI:(getting another shock...)sir bacche gayab hai...(ACP turned his face disappointedly while boiling in anger...because for the answer of his each question was a synonym...along with a new exclaimation...and a tint of question...

while ABHIJEET continued, giving a clear account of the debate going on till now...or maybe trying to reduce his own confusions...)sir...aap yeh kya bol rhe h.. mai sachmei nhi jaanta... (shaking his head) voh bachhe kaha hai...kon hai...main kuch nahi jaanta...mein to bas ek hi baar mila hun unse...

...

...

BUT this time ACP didn't speak up anything...and just looked up at DAYA, as if asking for a favour to take a lead...

DAYA:(nodded silently...and started explaining in a calm tone...)dekho ABHIJEET...jin bachho se tum vahan par mile the...voh saare bachhe MUMBAI kai hai...aur unn sabke parents ka kehna hai ki voh sab pichle kuch dino se gayab hai...

(added...)na toh unke parents se unka kuch contact hua hai...aur nahi unke college walon ko kuch pata hai ki voh sab kahan hai...

ABHI:(shocked with the revealation...)yeh...kese ho sakta hai..voh sab bachhe MUMBAI ke kese...(unable to believe his own ears...) lekin maine toh unke documents mein DELHI padha tha...

ACP:(suspiciously, or in simple words blaming HIM...)kyaa...lekin unke parents toh jhooth nahi kahenge...kyunn...(suddenly remembering something...)aur documents...konse documents...smuggling karne ke...

ABHI:(interrupted in extreme hurt...)toh.. sir..aa...aap.. kehna chahte h ki main...jhoot bol raha hun...aur smuggl...

DAYA:(interfered immidiately...)ABHIJEET...ek minute shaant ho jao..please...

(to ACP trying to calm his anger...which had now reached to an extreme...)SI...SIRR...please...aap thoda sha..shant ho jaiye...hum sha...shanti se beth ke baa...baat karte hein...

ACP:(annoyingly...)kya please hann...aab aur shanti se beth ke kya baat karenge...tumhare bhai aab aur kuch choda hi kahan hai...(shouted) jo sach hai voh hai...(asked in an authorative tone...subsidizing his anger...)aur yeh DELHI police se baat hui ya nahi tumhari...

...

...

BUT stopped as another proud and determined voice echoed in the beuro as, "JAI HIND SIR..."and three footsteps proceeding inside...two of those sounding strong and determined while the third one was forceful and reluctant...as if HE was forced to come inside, dragging by the other two...when a shocking shrill managed to escape from ABHIJEET'S mouth glancing at the third person..."DHRUVVV..."

...

...

ACP:(teasingly...)ABHIJEET isse to tum jante hi hoge...kyun...

...

BUT ACP'S voice didn't reach ABHIJEET'S ears, as he was so busy staring DHRUV shockingly...the fear which had just gripped ABHIJEET'S heart, got covered with black clouds of storm...HE couldn't think of anything...

no...the sharp shine of CID MUMBAI was not able to think anything, as of today is HE was yet again standing in between the fires of questions and suspiciousnss... which always used to question his existence...

...

"SIRRR..." DHRUV instantly jerked the two officers away from himself, escaped from their tight grip, ran and hid himself behind ABHIJEET, bringing him back from the trance...

...

ABHI:(shook off by DHRUV'S perplexed reaction...but then silently glanced at HIS scared face...and stuttered few words...which barely sounded like...)tu..tum thik to ho na...

DHRUV just nodded haphazardly...but his messy condition was signaling ABHIJEET for the upcoming danger...the whole team was silently looking at them...but didn't look much affected with the conversation...yet again someone initiated...

...

1ST OFFICER:(informing with sheer determination and stiff body language...and forwarding something to ACP...)sirrr...utha laye isse...aur yeh lijiye iska arrest warrant...

ACP:(glared hardly at ABHI and DHRUV...and replied in a dangerous tone...)good work..iss se to hume bohot sari baatein karni hai...akhir CID ka mehman jo hai...

ABHI:(queried in between his loud heart throbs...which even did enormous bad to the volcano standing in front of him...)s.. sir..! aap y.. yeh kya keh rhe ha..hain...

ACP:(broke into a mocking laughter...)kya k...kar...ra...rahe ha...hain...hu..hum ky..kya kar ra...rahe ..hain...han..hann...

(after a pause...turned serious...and replied in a sharp tone...which was enough to shake every single soul, present in the room...and every one surely included ABHIJEET too...)hum apna kaam kar rahe hain...SENIOR INSPECTOR ABHIJEET...

ABHI:(trying to stay strong...because every thing on his side was still confusing...)k.. ka...kaam... isse a.. arrest ka...karke...

ACP:tum nahi bataoge hume ki...kise arrest karna hai...aur kise nahi...smjhe...(remembering something...)vaise...yeh dono abhi tak yahan kyun khade hein...hann...(yelled in anger...and to everyone's bad luck, this tone of ACP had stresses of finalization, which none of the figure in the room could resist upon...) karo inn dono ko arrest...

(toughly...)aab sari baatein investigation room mein hi khulegi...

ABHI:(resisted strongly...)si...sirr...aa..aap... hume arrest nahi kar sakte...pe..pehle ba..bataiye to s..sahi ki..hum d..dono ne akhir ki..kiya kya hai...

ACP:(to DAYA calmly...completing ignoring ABHIJEET'S resistance...)DAYA...tumne suna nahi...I said arrest THEM...

...

...

DAYA looked at ACP in a jerk...but then averted his gaze and gulped the moisture in his throat, and tried to dry his eyes...because arresting his buddy is something HE would never ever think even in HIS wildest dreams...BUT the determined decision HE took that night in the beach, came dangling in front of his eyes...

and two drop of tears fell down the heavy eyes...one brimming with the pain of betrayal, and yet another for breaking the promise of bein with his buddy for life time...

...

ABHI:(again asked aguishly, as HIS eyes stuck on DAYA'S face who was intending to to wear him handcuffs, and RAJAT doing the same with DHRUV...irrespective of so much resistance...)SIRR...aa..aao yeh..ese sa..sahi nahi ka..karr r..rahe he..hein...

...

...

ABHIJEET woke up from the sleep with a loud shout "NAHIIII...

HE opened his eyes frantically...sweat beads dripping from his forehead...glanced around the surrounding...and then HE realized it was just a part of the dreadful past...how hard he tried to escape from those horrifying memories, they even gripped him harder...

...

when HE heard some faint sounds coming from, outside the room...and what HE heard next just made his eyes go wider in shock...and HE was still at his place, unable to react...

...
