Chapter 6:

The drive from the main road was travelled so fast, that it was only a matter of moments till daya reached home. There had been various reasons when he was so much excited, or interested in going home early, but this wasn't something he wanted to go for.

Nearly 4 months had passed since the submarine incident, but everytime, everyday something or the other reminded him of it's happening. Remembrance of that incident never did anything good, neither to him or to others. And today was just another day like that, where he was again exposed to those incidents in the very worst way possible. The gossip of the juniors wasn't the reason, but rather was the last nail to the coffin.

Parking the car, Daya tried to make himself control his seething anger which was burning inside him. The ride was short, but it was indeed a bad idea to speed up as he got really no time to cool down. But it was irrelevant now, as he was standing at the footsteps of their home. There was no turning back now, certainly not today. Finally inserting the keys inside the lock he entered only to find the living room lights switched on and Abhijeet sitting on his laptop working and talking with someone.

Having a sigh, Daya entered and put his keys on the side rack as he removed the shoes and dropped his bag on the side. His presence wasn't felt by Abhijeet who was looking lost in the call. Daya just washed his hands as he went inside the kitchen to grab a bottle of water. When he silently gazed at Abhijeet, he was looking just as tired as he was in the morning, or rather for months. His eyes looked sleep deprived, and shallow, as if it was something more than just a hectic schedule. And being able to see all this in this moment didn't do anything good for the anger Daya had inside him.

Abhijeet gazed up at him while talking as Daya came into the dining room. Seeing him standing there, Abhijeet wrapped up his call, and gazed up at him.

"Tum aagaye.." Abhijeet spoke as he cut the call. As he asked that daya replied with a passive face.

"Tum soye nahi?" The question that Daya asked was just the filtered version of his 'Tum ab tak kyu jag rahe ho? Halath dekho khudki'

Abhijeet, unable to hear the undertone of daya's words, spoke ahead. "han wo socha thoda kaam karlu.."

As Abhijeet said, Daya felt his patience wearing thin. As Abhijeet just spoke this and continued to stare at the screen. So daya asked in a flat tone. "Kaunsa wohi bar wala kam?"

Abhijeet who was working now looked up with this sudden question. Rather than a question, it was a remark. A remark he knew very well. He just silently gazed aside and put the papers in his hands away.

"Daya.."

"Daya what abhijeet?" Daya spat in anger as he didn't try to mask it anymore.

"Mai tumhe batane wala tha.."

"Kab?" Gazing at him in focus, daya continued "tab jab vivek report submit kar deta tab?(pausing again) ya yun kahun ke isaliye batate kyuke vivek ne muze report di.."

Abhijeet just shook his head slightly as he tried to clarify. "Nahi..mai batane wala tha tumhe ke bar ka kam ho chuka hai muze dusra kam tha.."

"Kaunsa kam" daya asked again with the same passive agressive face. While Abhijeet who was trying to answer gazed at him and spoke in a straight tone..

"Kya chal raha hai tumhara?" Gazing at him keenly and then asking ahead. "Interrogation kar rahe ho meri?"

"Mai tumse sawal puch raha hun Abhijeet.."

"Ye sawal nahi hai.." glaring at him. "Kaunsa kam ka kya matlab hai? Tumhe kya lagta hai mai kya karta hun?" Abhijeet spoke harshly as he too wasn't really in the mood to have a sweet conversation.

"Tum batao..mujhe kya pata..aadhe time toh mere samne rehte hi nahi ho.." daya said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Kyu kam kya sirf tumhare samne hota hai?(then realising what daya said he added) oh..tumhara matlab yeh hai ke mai kam bhi karta hun ke nahi.." Abhijeet spoke as he spoke the ending dialogue in a teasing voice.

"Maine yeh nahi kaha hai …"

"Matlab kya hai fir iss baat ka puchne ka, hain?" Abhijeet asked as he got up from his chair in anger. As daya just pressed his eyes shut and spoke.

"Mai sirf yeh puch raha hun tumhe ke ho kya raha hai? Kar kya rahe ho tum?" Daya spoke as he too moved ahead near the table.

"Puch kyu rahe ho..jawab toh tumne khud bana liya hai na.." Abhijeet spat in anger again.

"Abhijeet maine koi jawab nahi banaya hai ..(gazing at him)mai bass tumse puch raha hun ke kya kar rahe ho tum …"

"Daya agar jawab banaya nahi hota na tumne toh aaj yahan mere samne ye puchne ke liye khade nahi hote tum..(in anger pointing at him)ye jo tum abhi yahan aise yeh sawal puch rahe ho na..ye sawal nahi hai..ye ilzaam hai..mujhpe..mere kaam pe.."

Daya hearing this spoke in a clarifying tone. "Tumhe kya lag raha hai..(coming forward)maza aaraha hai mujhe?Han?ye..raat ko thak ke ghar ane ke baad ye jhagda shuru karna ka shauq chadha hai mujhe?(gazing at him keenly)kuch baat hai isliye saammne khada hu na..kuch sawal hai.. isliye puch raha hun..aur ilzaam nahi hai yeh..(Abhijeet gazed aside) sirf sur sirf kuch sawal hai..jinke jawab tumhare paas hai.."

Abhijeet just added in an irritated tone. "Mujhe tumse behes hi nahi karni hai.." saying he started to pull his papers from the bag when daya added ahead.

"Behes nahi karni hai ya jawab nahi dene hai tumhe?" Daya asked in the same voice he was before. To which Abhijeet glared hardly at him and spoke.

"Kya sawal-jawab, sawal-jawab laga rakha hai han?" Abhijeet asked in a hoarse voice.

"Kyu problem hai na.. toh dedo na jawab.."

Seeing his stubborn gaze Abhijeet with gritted teeth added. "Mai tumhe koi sawal ke jawab dene ke liye bandha hua nahi hu.." saying he just again started packing the papers on the table..

"Han mujhe toh nahi ho..par ab kya bureau ke kaam ke liye bhi tum answerable nahi ho?" Daya asked in a straight voice as Abhijeet just gazed up and said.

"Bureau ke kaam ki zimmedari mujhe acchese pata hai..aur acp sir ne kuch kaha nahi hai..toh.." when daya interrupted with a smirking voice.

"Woh..(pausing)woh kya tumhe kuch kahenge.." as he said that Abhijeet spat in anger.

"Just stop this daya..(in anger added)mujhe pata nahi hai tumhe kya hua hai..ya kiss cheez ka bhoot sawar hai tumhara dimag pe(in seething voice)par mai aur ab ye nahi sunne wala..tumhara din kharab gaya isliye mujhe target mat karo.." as he said that daya leaning ahead added in further anger.

"Accha mera deemag kharab hai?(glaring hardly at him)han hai kharab..sach batau ..toh matha thanak chuka hai mera..(Abhijeet gazed at him)aur iski wajah aur koi nahi hai bas tum ho samjhe(pointing at him)kya? Kya bol rahe the..mera din kharab han?(Abhijeet trying to interrupt but daya continued)toh han kharab tha mera din..are din kya..mera toh pura mahina kharab chal raha hai...pata hai kyu?(in anger)kyuke mere office me kam nahi..Kam chodke har ek cheez chal rahi hai...har roz kam pe jau toh kam kum aur iss (gazing at him)cold war se jyada deal karna padta hai..(in loud voice)kabhi isko sambhalo kabhi usko...aur cases ka pressure...woh toh tumhe kaise pata hoga..(in anger added)6 active cases chal rahe hai sar pe..aur tum? Tum nazar tak nahi aate pure hafte...wahan team ko sambhalu ke case lead Karu...ya ..ye..(pointing between them)ye jhamele sambhalu.." as daya said this Abhijeet was glaring at him. So retorted instantly.

"Pata hai cases chal rahe hai..maine kya chutti nahi le rakhi hai bureau se..dikhta nahi hun bureau me toh iskaa matlab ye nahi hai ke mai kam nahi karta..(glaring hardly at daya and added in straight tone) wo Manish murder case toh hawa me solve ho raha hai na..vivek..shreya aur baki sab koh mai toh guide hi nahi kar raha hun na?" He questioned as daya taking a deep break added.

"Agar itna hi kam kar rahe ho toh bureau me kyu kabhi aate nahi ho? Mai nahi keh Raha ke kam nahi karte..par bureau me aake bhi toh ye sab kar sakte ho..(gazing at him) manta hun field me rehna zaroori hai..par kya har pal wahan rehna zaroori hai?(added in a frustrated tone)mu dikha doge toh kya hi hoga..kamsekam log bolenge toh nahi peeche.." as he said that Abhijeet gazed at him in suspicion. Daya realised what he said so just sighed and turned his gaze away. He didn't wanted to say that but there it was. Seeing him turned, Abhijeet came near the place where he was standing and gazed at him.

"Kisne kaha?" Abhijeet asked in a straight voice gazing at daya who wasn't looking at him.

"It doesn't matter.."

"It does!(gazing at him)it so much does the samze..agar it didn't matter na toh yun..yahan nahi aate tum..(then pausing and realising where Daya's anger was from)Accha toh..isliye interrogate kar rahe ho tum." The painful smirk in abhijeet's voice wasn't ignored by daya who just added in clarification.

"Kuch bhi mat bolo Abhijeet..mai kyu unki baaton me aaunga..aisa kuch bhi nahi hai..(trying to clarify more)wo bass kuch new officers the Abhijeet...unhe pata bhi nahi hai wo kya bol rahe hai kya nahi..mai kyu..." Abhijeet interrupted him with.

"Agar tumhe farak nahi pada toh fir kyu puche tumne ye sawal?(gazing at daya who again turned his gaze aside)wo toh nahi jante muze..par tum?" As Abhijeet said it daya in sigh turned his gaze and added in a frustrated voice.

"Kyuki tum sunn nahi rahe ho muze..peechle teen dino se keh raha hun tumhe ke muze help chahiye hai..mere sath raho raka ke case ke liye..tum man hi nahi rahe..(gazing at him)acchese jante ho tum ke wo kya kar sakta hai..tum khud usake shikar hue the..ek bar bhi aaye ho plan karne ya strategy discuss karne..(adding ahead)bar bar tal dete ho.." as daya said it Abhijeet just stood there gazing at him calmly. And after a moment added.

"Yeh mere sawal ka jawab nahi hai daya..(daya hearing that just breathed deeply)aur ye tum bhi jante ho..raka ke case ke bare me yeh sab hai hi nahi..(pausing and picking up the papers with a sigh)par puchna waste hai..aakhir zidd thodi na chodoge tum.." saying he just was walking off when daya fumed at his last sentence. And added in a seething voice.

"Ziddi mai nahi tum ho..(Abhijeet kept walking towards the room)aur Han sawal hai mujhe..aur nahi kar paya me unke comments ignore..(pressing his hand grip tightly on the chair)kyuke unme sach hai.." Abhijeet paused a bit as he said that while he turned.

"Accha..fir Sach kya hai.." his face was passive and his gaze straight at daya.

"Chodo.." daya said as he was about to turn when Abhijeet added in tough voice.

"Kyu ab kya hua..kaho na sach kya hai..main bhi toh sunu..ke aisa kya sach hai...mera sach toh tum jante ho..mai kam.." but before abhijeet could complete the sentence daya added ahead in a flat voice.

"Beach par hota hai kam tumhara?" As he said that Abhijeet retorted almost instantly.

"Daya!" Abhijeet was fuming as he shouted his name. He moved steps ahead in anger with that. Daya on the other hand stood unflinched. His gaze was still the same. As he continued ahead.

"Kyu? Jhooth kaha maine?(gazing at him) bureau se bahar rehna..ye case ke liye bahar rehna..forensic lab..(smirking and in taunting tone)itna bewakoof nahi hai koi ke samajh na paye ke kya chal raha hai..(added ahead)par nahi..tumhare hisab se toh..(pressing on every word)sab sahi hai na..(glaring at him again)toh kyu kar rahe ho avoid?kyu baithe rehte ho beach pe din din bhar?" Daya said all this as his voice was high and so was Abhijeet who was already fuming..

"Main beach pe jau ya..jahannum me..(coming ahead and near daya)tumhe usse kya matlab hai?kisiko avoid karne ke liye kuch nahi kar raha hun mai.."

Daya smiling at what he said added. "Ye jhooth na tum aapne pass rakho..khudke aur acp sir ke liye..(pointing at him again)kyuke iss bakwas pe ab mai nahi bharosa karne wala …"

"Baat baat par acp sir ko beech me lane ke zaroorat nahi hai daya.." Abhijeet said in anger.

"Jo beech me hai use lane ki kya zaroorat hai?" Daya said in a flat tone still gazing at Abhijeet who was just fuming at his every sentence. "Aur waise bhi..mujhe tum logo ke beech me ane me koi interest nahi hai..baat bureau ki hai..isliye.."

"Han bureau toh sirf tumhare balbute pe chal raha hai na..humlog toh kuch karte hi nahi.."Abhijeet spat

"Nahi..(glaring)ab tak toh nahi chalraha hai..(then added in a harsh voice)par agar iss bureau ke zimmedar officers aise hi beach pe din guzarte rahenge.. toh ye din bhi dur nahi..'' daya spoke each and every word deliberately as Abhijeet just lost it after this.

"Enough is enough daya!" This time the shout by abhijeet was way more louder and sharp. As he was standing infront of daya with a piercing gaze towards him.

"Muze meri duty kaisi karni hai iske liye tumhare naseehat ki zaroorat nahi hai..(then seeing daya trying to interrupt) na hi meri zindagi me tumhari dakhalandazi ki zaroorat hai..(daya hearing that just glared back)tumhe kam chahiye hai na..(pressing his words)kam milega..(then turning towards his room)lekin ise aage kuch bhi nahi." The words that he said in the end were filled with so much anger that daya just stood there glaring at his retreating figure.

It had been numerous times when they both had disagreements. But this, this was getting way beyond they could agree on. Daya felt his breathing shallow as he was feeling like punching the wall infront. Yes, he knew that it wasn't going to be easy, but this? What was this?

Kehne ko toh hamare beech sab sahi hai,

Fir najane kyu, tu samne ho kar bhi,

hamare beech ki duriyan badh rahi hai,

Fir bhi najane kyu tum keh rahe ho,

Ke sab sahi hai,

Daya felt his eyes flicker as he hated this confrontation, he didnt wanted it. He rather never wanted it. It had been nearly three months since that submarine incident since when this whole thing was going on. Not a single day passed when they were able to just live peacefully. And now that incident wasn't anymore personal. And he had enough of this. Really.

Finally glaring hard at the place where Abhijeet stood, daya left the place while banging the door hardly. Abhijeet who on the other hand left in his room just pressed his eyes shut as he heard that bang of door. He didn't wanted this. He never wanted this. He felt like his breath was caught in his chest as he remembered how daya spoke.

Was he wrong?

No. Abhijeets heart said. As he too knew that daya wasn't really at fault. But then was he? Or who was? What was this? He didn't really knew. Pressing his forehead he just sat down on the chair in a thud. Grabbing the sleeping pills on the table, he just gulped them down as he sat down isn't how it's supposed to be, this is wrong. But then, he didn't wanted to think about it anymore. As the anger inside him surged again as he pressed the lights off and went to bed fuming in anger.
