AT ACP SIR'S HOUSE

Abhijeet was sitting on Loung area waiting for Acp sir , who was busy in giving some instructions to his informer. He was wondering why Acp sir has ordered to come with him in his house . Feeling bore while sitting on same position for long time, he moved toward balcony and his nostrils hit with the scent of red roses . A light smile crept on his face seeing a look like of small garden in sir's balcony..Acp sir is really obsessed with gardening. Plant must be there where Acp sir is otherwise he won't feel rest.His face was having tender expression enjoying the nature beauty when his eyes fall on street where a family was having kulfi together.. couple were feeding their child together..a soft smile broke on his lips when he saw kid giving kissies to his mumma and papa. Abhijeet wondered will this day come in his life ever when he would be able to enjoy his family moments . He couldn't stop himself to picturised himself , Tarika and their symbol of love, Adi in place of the family.

His train of thought break with a soft hand on his shoulder..he turned and get surprised seeing Acp sir with two mugs of coffee..

" try kar sakte ho mere haath ki coffee... Acchi ban jati hai kabhi kabhi " Acp sir said with hint of naughtiness

Abhijeet smiled shaking his head and then took mug from his father's hand " aap to apne khabri se baat kar rahe the...fir ye coffe kab banali aapne ?

Acp sir replied taking a sip " khabri se baat kiye hue 15 minute se upar ho gye janab... ab gaalib haseen wadiyo me itna khoye hue the ki time ka pata hi nahi chala aapko "

Abhijeet was perplexed, he was standing here for more than 15 minutes and he didn't even realise a bit..

Acp sir looked at his lost expression so changed the topic " coffe pilo warna thandi ho jaegi aur sara mehnat bekar kardoge tum meri "

Abhijeet took sip and saviour the hot smoky coffee taste in his taste bud , he said in pleasant surprise " it's fantastic sir !!!!!!

And then he added praisefully " Agar aap CID me nahi hote to aapka coffe shop world famous hota "

Acp sir laughed softly hearing his second in command's appraisal. They talked on random topic together from politics to street fight while enjoying coffee , the moment was simple but for them it was one of the best moment. They rarely got time to spent time with each other like ordinary people without dealing with the pressure of cases and higher authorities.

Abhijeet took empty cup from Acp sir's hand who got startled with sudden action " are rahne do mai dho dunga "

But who will listen him Abhijeet had gone to kitchen and washing both mugs he kept them in their places. Acp sir remembered someone's on Abhijeet action as he used to do same .

" Dad maine kitni baar bola hai aapko...aap rahne do mai kar lunga ...aapna sunte hi nahi ho meri "

" Are yaar Nakul Mujhe to tum ghar ka koi kaam karne hi nahi dete "

" Haan to mere jaise ek hatte katte naujawan bete ke hote hue aap kaam karoge to kaisa lagega "

" To tum kehna kya chahte ho ...mai buddha ho gaya hun "

" Bura mat manna aap par ...( taking back step with laughing ) Umar to ho hi gayi hai "

Acp sir mouth remained open..his son's mischievous eyes and naughty laughing sound had made him more angrier " ruko mai tumko abhi dikhata hun ... kiski umar ho gayi hai "

Acp sir was chasing Nakul who was sometimes hiding under table and sometimes behind pillar from saving himself from his father's wrath.

" Oooouch "

Nakul hurriedly came outside hearing his father's painful scream..he knelt down beside Acp sir and asked in panic " Dad ...are you okay...kahan lagi dikhaye mujhe"

" Abhi lagi nahi lagne wali hai "

Nakul uplift his head with " Dad aap ye kya " but he got stopped seeing his father's mischievous smile and naughty glint ..his eyes became wide getting that his father has tricked him ..

Nakul was going to run but Acp sir hold his arm and hold his ear " ab bata kisko buddha bol Raha tha tu "

Nakul pouts " Dad ye cheating hai ...( he yelped in pain ) aaau daddd.. it's hurting ...accha accha aap buddhe nahi ho "

Acp sir smiled in satisfaction and leave his ear " very good "

Nakul huffed and puffed while Acp sir hugged his Angry kiddo from behind who was still messaging his red ear.

" kaan tor dete aaj meri aap "

" fir tum bina kaan ke alien lagte "

" Dad you are very bad "

" son teasing you is always so fun " Acp sir said pulling his cheek

Nakul smiled in disappointment and looked at his father lovingly..his dad always become child with him .

" Sir andar aa jaye bahar bahut thandi hawa chal rahi hai..sardi ho jaegi aapko "

It was Abhijeet's voice who landed him in world where his son was not with him , he wiped his tears which crept unknowingly in corner of his eyes. He composed himself and moved Inside.

Acp sir sat om couch and asked Abhijeet to sit on opposite one with his eyes.who obeys him and sat down.

" Abhijeet ab sach sach batayo aisa kya hua tha kl jiske karan tumhe crime spot ko chhorke aise jana para..aur mujhe ye bhi andaja hai ki ye sab Tarika se related hai ... hai na "

Abhijeet nodded his head quietly , he said lowering his eyes " she is suffering from postpartum Depression "

Acp sir's eyes became wide in shock " whattttttt...kabse Abhijeet aur tumne mujhe bataya bhi nahi "

Abhijeet in guilty tone" jab mujhe khud nahi pata tha sir to aapko kya batata..( he mocked himself ) how a great husband I am..meri biwi itne dino se khud suffer kar rahi hai aur mujhe iss baat ka andaja bhi nahi tha kl tak ...agar Shreya ne kl mujhe bulaya nahi hota to ab tak hume pata nahi chalta Tarika ke condition ke bare me "

Acp sir closed his eyes in agony..he felt bad for the poor soul who has to suffer so much without any fault and he felt anger too much on his son, he said in disappointment " Abhijeet tumhe Tarika ko akela nahi chhorna chahiye tha..kitna akela feel kar rahi hogi wo bacchi "

Acp sir was waiting for any reply but he was too silent to break his wall which he made around his heart..

Acp sir asked in helpless tone " tumhare deemag me chal kya raha hai Abhijeet..itne din se tum sabko avoid karne me kyun lage hue the...kl Daya se maine poocha to uss bacche ke aankh me khud ansoi bhar gye ye sochkar ki pata nahi kya ho gaya hai uske bhai ko jab wo ab uski sakl dekhna bhi pasand nahi karta "

Abhijeet felt clogged in chest..his eyes were filled with water..he was trying to compose himself but tear started to run down from his cheeks in speed.

Acp sir was really not prepared for this..he was feeling to kill himself seeing tears in his precious' eyes..he moved toward him hurriedly and sat beside him " Abhijeet I 'm sorry beta...mai tumhe hurt "

Abhijeet shook his head in no " aap maafi mat mangye ...galti meri hai sir...(his voice turned heavy ) mai khudke guilt me itna uljha hua tha ki mujhe koi aur dikhai nahi de raha tha sir aur sach kahun to isse bhi bara reason ye hai ki mujhme himat nahi thi Tarika se najre milane ki..."

Acp sir asked in bewildered tone " kya bol rahe ho tum Abhijeet..kaunsi baat ka guilt tha tumhe

Abhijeet cut him in strong tone " tha nahi sir abhi bhi bhi hai...apni beti ko na bacha pane ka guilt aur ye guilt jindgi bhar rahega mere saath "

Acp sir became freeze.. he was looking at Abhijeet without any blink.. his heart suddenly felt an ache for this young lad who was suffering in hell and no one has slightest idea about it. He was very well aware the pain and guilt of a father of not saving his own child .

Abhijeet looked at him with pain-filled-tears " aap hi bataye sir agar mai mission pe nahi jata to Tarika ko sabkuch ka itna stress nahi parta aur delivery ke dauran itna sabkuch...( he choked ) har bacche ke liye uske papa hero hote hai use visvas hota hai ki mere papa mere saath kabhi galat nahi hone denge ...par mai to apne bacche ke liye kuch nhi nahi kar paya sir...(he looked at his hand ) inhi haatho me meri gudiya ne akhri saans li aur mai bas dekhta raha sir ...kuch kuch bhi nahi kar paya..."

Abhijeet was feeling he was living the same pain again while telling this..he remembered everything about that day and his body trembled in fear.. he was feeling suffocation ...his voice was not supporting him to say further but he had opened his pandara box and now not going back after that..

" pahle maa, fir Tasha aur ab Aanya...apno ki maut ke bojh ke saath hi marna parega mujhe...(his voice was breaking ) mu...jhe to lagta hai Aanya ko cheenkar bhagwan ne mujhe saja diya hai...apni maa ko na pehchanne ki saja..unhe til til maut dene ki saja...maine apni Maa se unka beta cheena tha na...isliye saja ke taur pe bhagwan ne mujhse meri beti cheen li ...ye sab meri gunah "

Acp sir covered his mouth and said in strict teary tone " bas Abhijeet...iske aage kuch nahi bologe tum "

Abhijeet's tear was falling on his hand ...he was feeling someone has poured acid in his heart seeing his son's tear..Acp sir gulped ball of tears which has strucked in his throat and said removing his palm " Abhijeet tum koi bhagwan Nahi ho ...sabke life me jitna din likha hota hai wo bas utna hi din jeete hai...hum chahkar bhi unhe rok nahi sakte beta ...isliye khud ko kosna band karo...(he cupped his face gently ) tum kisike bhi maut ke jimmedar nahi ho ...unka jana tum chah Kar bhi nahi rok sakte the beta "

Abhijeet's all hell broke hearing soft filled voice of his father..his heart could not bear more...he threw himself in Acp sir's arm and hugged him tightly..he cried his heart out in his father's arm..he expelled all his pain, hurt , complain and agony in form of tears...he cried until his voice became dry and hoarse...his throat was burning after his breakdown but he was feeling lighter than before...his heart was feeling less burdened.

Inside House

Daya and shreya was trying to stop little Adi's crying..Tarika has slept under the effect of medicine and now he is being cranky for his mother's milk...shreya had tried to feed him with bottle but he was not taking nipple on his mouth..

Daya in panic " shreya ye itna kyun ro raha hai yaar...? "shreya in worried tone " pata nahi Daya.. kahin iske pet me dard to nahi kar raha ( Daya looked at him in tension )...aap ise sambhalo mai na kitchen se honey lekar ati hun...sahad dene se baccho ka pet dard theek ho jata hai "

" mai sambhal lunga...tum jayo "

shreya went off kitchen while Daya got busy with Adi ..he was making funny faces to stop baby from weeping.." chup ho ja na betu..mere pyare gudde ho na aap...( he took Adi in his lap and started cooing him , keeping his head on his shoulder ) aaaa aaaa aaaaa ...so ja babu...mera raja beta...( he asked in babyish tone ) lori sunni hai mele betu ko...hmm ?

Daya wiped tears from his toddler's eyes " chachu na ab apne prince ko gana gake sunayenge...okay ? "

He smiled and kissed on Adi's forehead " Aaaa re Aaaa ja , nindiya tu le chal kahin...urankhatole me...dur dur dur...yahan se dur..."

shreya till then came there and put a small drop of honey on Adi's tongue and messaged his tummy lightly with soft hand... They both smiled in relief finding Adi had stopped crying.

Daya patted his head softly..baby's head was cosily lying on his broad shoulder " Aa re Aa ja...Nindi tu le chal kahin...

Uran khatole me dur...dur...dur...

yahan se dooooor

" Aaaaa re Aaaa jaaaaa "

Daya 's eyes filled with so many stars remembering the precious moment which he spent with his father and brother..a soft smile broke on his lips when he recalled his brother's cute antics that..how he has slapped h on his hand when Abhijeet was drinking the milk instead of feeding to baby..he laughed lightly when he remembered Abhijeet's falling with doing weird dance " Booom Booom Booom "

He was feeling deva ju emotions...Time flew in speed... isn't it ? He had never imagined he would be fortunate to take his brother's child in his arm..he felt a wave of emotions splashed on his heart.

Daya came from his trance with a pat on his shoulder...he turned and saw shreya standing, she exclaimed in whisper " so gaya ye "

Daya felt aderanine passed inside his body seeing his nephew sleeping peacefully..he looked at Adi's face with so much love and adoration in his eyes..

Shreya removed all the soft toys from bed and asked Daya to put baby on bed.

Daya kept Adi on bed carefully...Daya and shreya both kissed on his temple and smiled in content.A figure saw all this scene with ting of jealousy and hurt and moved away from there with lot of anger.

" Daya kaas sabkuch normal hota to kitna accha hota na...mujhe Abhi bhaiya aur Di ke liye bahut bura lag raha hai, wo dono apne bacche ke ane ki khusi bhi nahi mana sakte theek tareeke se "

And then there was silence prevailed in the room for sometime until Daya breaks it...

Daya in hesitation " shreya mai soch raha tha agar tum kuch din...mera matlab hai Tarika ko aisi halat me hum akela nahi chhor sakte hum me se kisi ek ko to uske paas rahna parega na ...(in sad tone ) I have heard ki postpartum Depression me Mom khud ko ya baby ko hurt karne ke bare me bhi soch sakte hai...aur agar aisa kuch Tarika ne...(in restless tone ) tum samajh rahi ho na Shreya mai kya keh raha hun...

Shreya hold his hand and said in relaxing tone " Daya mai sab samajh rahi hun aap kya kehe ki kosis kar rahe hai...( in earnest tone ) jab tak Di pahle ki tarah nahi hogi mai unke saath saya ki tarah chipki rahungi bilkul "

Daya smiled in gratitude and kissed on back of her hand..

" I can't thank you enough"

" Are aap thanks kyun bol rahe hai...mai khud sir se leave ki baat karne wali thi ...itna sab kuch ho gya ghar me ki mai Dev ko time hi nahi de pa rahi bilkul ..wo kuch kehta nahi hai Daya par mai apne bacche ko janti hun wo humdono ko kitna miss kar raha hoga "

Before Daya could say anything Meera came rushing toward them " sir wo Dev "

Daya asked in panic " Meera kya hua Dev ko ? "

Meera in panic " sir mai bas kuch der ke liye washroom gayi thi Dev ko living room me chhorkar ...par jab mai wapas ayi to wo wahan nahi tha sir...maine sab jagah dhund liya par wo nahi mi "

Shreya's heart missed a beat..she asked in slight shievering tone " Daya... Dev ?

Daya gained his senses and said in hurry " Meera yahan Adi ke paas ruko tum...humdono dekhte hai Dev ko "

Dareya went outside...they searched all rooms, garden, terrace but didn't find Dev anywhere...with each passing minutes their heart rate was speeding .

Shreya was in verge of tears " Kahan ho ga Mera baccha...Daya please do something...mujhe mera Dev chahiye "

Daya hold her from shoulder " shreya please calm down...mai parosiyo se poochtach karta hun...kya pata bahar chala gaya ho wo khelte khelte "

They were about to go outside when they both heard some voice coming out from cupboard. Glancing at each other with panic , they hurriedly walk towards the sound and Daya opened the cupboard.

And what they both saw made their heart shattered. They found Dev crying alone hiding his face between knees..

Daya bent down and touched Dev who jerked his hand in anger..

Daya was shocked seeing his reaction, he never used to behave aggressive.." Dev kya hua beta aapko...accha bahar to ayo aap pahle "

Daya hold him from arm and took him outside carrying in his lap. His heart ached badly seeing his jaan's red face and watery eyes..

Shreya kissed on his hand and asked in teary tone " Dev kya hua bacche..aap kyun ro rahe ho ..(she asked in pain ) kisine daanta hai kya mere gudde ko...haan ? "

Dev shook his head in no and burried himself in his father's shoulder while sobbing . Dareya became tense seeing their son in this condition..

Daya took him inside room , shreya followed them..Meera saw them coming so left the room with relived expression on her face getting that Dev is safe and sound.

Daya sat on couch and carresed his son's face..he was whispering sweet nothings to his ear for making his baby calm.. feeling him little calm, he tried to apart from hug but Dev was clutching him so as he was feeling scared to lose his father and this was making Daya more tense..he said lovingly

" Dev please jaan talk to me...kyun sad hai mera baccha itna haan... Dev to papa ko sari baate batata hai na..hmm "

Shreya kissed on his forehead " batao na betu kya baat hai...mumma papa pareshan ho rahe hai na bacche "

Daya felt his grip got loosened a little so he aparted his son from hug , Dev said in sad tonr" aap dono ab sirf new baby ko hi pyar karte ho ...(his lips swelled and tears again got filled ) jabse wo aya ha koi mere saath baat bhi nahi karta aur khelta bhi nahi...(he said in angry tone ) usko pari ke paas wapas bhej do mujhe wo nahi chahiye "

shreya in scolding tone " Dev aisa nahi bolte beta...wo aapka chhota bhai hai "

Dev in stubborn teary tone " wo bad baby hai..mujhe nahi chahiye bas... "

Shreya looked at Daya with troubled expression..Daya gave her be patience look and then he gave all his attention to his toddler of nearly three years..

" Dev mumma papa aapse bahut pyaar karte hai ..aur humdono bahut jada sorry hai apne bete ko rulane ke liye..( he wiped his tears and dropped a kiss on his forehead ) sorry jaan ...we are really sorry..aur promise hum aapki sari baate bhi sunenge aur aapke saath khelenge bhi..."

Dev asked in innocent tone " pinky promise ? "

Daya chukled and kissed on his cheek " pinky promise "

Daya kept him down and took him toward Adi while holding his hand ..he asked gazing at Adi " aapko pata hai ye kaun hai ? "

Dev said in displeased tone " rondu baby ...(muttered under his breath ) jab dekho rota rehta hai "

Daya laughed a little and Shaking his head in disappointment..he pulled his son near him and said " accha ye batao mai Abhi ka kya hun ? "

" chhote bhai "

Daya smiled softly and said

" waise hi Adi bhi aapka chhota bhai hai...jaise bare papa mujhe kitna pyar karte hai kitna khyal rakhte hai mera aur meri raksha bhi karte hai ..hai na ( Dev nodded )..bilkul waise hi aapko bhi apne chhote ka khyal rakhna hai ..uski raksha karni hai aapko...(settling his collor ) aur meri tarah iss bechare ko bhi aap jaise hitler bhai ki sari baat manni paregi bare hokar...(while pouting) aur punishment bhi milegi aapse "

Dev's eyes twinkled..a big smile crept on his face " sacchi papa ..ye meri sari baat manega ( Daya nodded )..bara hoke mere saath khelega bhi kya ye ? "

Daya smiled on his son's innocence and said twiking his nose " bilkul aapka chhote aapke saath khelega bhi aur aapko " Bhaiya " bhi bulaye...aur jaise mai aur Abhi best friend hai ...ek dusre se sari baate share karte hai ..waise hi aap chaho to Adi bhi aapka sabse accha dost ban sakta hai "

Dev thought for sometime...Dareya looked at each other while holding their breath but soon a big smile creot on there faces seeing Dev's next move..

Dev hold Adi's tiny friend and said " Hello baby...mai tumhara bara bhai hun aur tunhe meri sari baate manni hogi okay... ( he touched his cheek tenderly ) chhote tum mujhe bahut acche lagte ho par tum thora roya kam karo bas...aur jab tum thore bare ho jaoge to fir mai tumhe rone nahi dunga..tumhara pura khyal rakhunga aur tumhari raksha bhi karunga bilkul bare papa ki tarah "

He smiled and kissed on Adi's forehead while Dareya looked at theur baby with pride expression..they both hugged Dev from each side and kissed on his cheeks " mera pyara beta " shreya said in loving tone

Daya was having soft smile on his face remembering the beginning of great friendship between two brothers. He came in world with a soft hand on his shoulder..he instantly composed himself " are kya hua freddy "

Freddy pointing toward cabin " udhar dekhiye jara kya ho raha hai "

Daya frowned and then turned his gaze toward cabin .. he laughed seeing Abhijeet's condition..Anaya was sitting on Acp sir's chair and asking lot of questions from Abhijeet.. eating all his mind " bale papa..ye kya hai ...aapke estoool me lound tyun nahi hai thelne te liye...aap chail pe tyun baithe ho bench pe tyun nahi "

Abhijeet muttered under his breath ' bahut badh chad ke bola tha shreya ko " don't worry mai sambhal lunga " ab do sare sawalo ke jawab ...itne sawal to Job interview me bhi nahi karte jitna ye kitty ne aaj pooch liye... ufffff "

Daya and Freddy laughed seeing his comic expression while he glared his brother hard from the cabin making Daya rolled on his chair hyaterically.

In Evening

Everyone was sitting on living room, salunkhe sir 's fever has been also lower down enough so he was also enjoying with his family.

Dev looked at his badi Maa who was looking tense standing in a corner while playing with his fingers ..her eyes were fixed on doorstep.

" Bari Maa kya hua aapko ? "

Tarika smiled weakly " kuch nahi beta bas aise hi "

" aap bata rahi ho ya mai Dadu ke paas jayu "

Tarika hold his hand before he could run " ruko ruko batati hun...wo aapke bare papa ab tak ghar Nahi aye aur mera phone bhi nahi utha rahe bas iskiye Thora pareshan thi "

Dev became tense but he hide it and said holding Tarika's hand " Don't worry Bari Maa...bare papa bas ate hi honge..( in cute tone ) aap tab tak mere liye gajar ka halwa bana doge please...kitne dino se nahi khaya maine aapke haath ka halwa...(in mouth watering tone ) bas naam se hi mooh me paani aa raha hai mere "

Tarika laughed on his son's antics , she ruffled his hair and said " abhi leke ati hun mai apne muching ke liye halwa ( she kissed on his cheek )

Dev murmured " Bari Maa ko to kaam me laga ke dustract kar diya..I hope Bare papa jaldi aa jaye "

Acp sir called him " Dev idhar ayo ...humari team haar rahi hai bete "

They were playing ludo , Acp sir and Dev was on a team and Daya and Adi on another..

" don't worry dadu jeetenge to hum hi "

" sapne me bare bhaiya...jeetenge to hum hi...( in swag ) right chachu ? "

Daya giving hi --five to Adi " obviously champ..."

Dev to salunkhe sir " chhote Dadu aap please in dono ko de moves par dhyan rakhna...ye dono humesa cheating karke jeet Jate hai "

Daya and Adi looked at each other with mischievous smirk but hide it soon , Adi said innocently " Nanu humpe galat intejaam lagaya ja raha hai "

Dev corrected him " chhote , it's iljaam "

" wahi wahi.."

Acp, salunkhe and Daya laughed on chhote duo's cuteness..

salunkhe looked at Anaya who was totally into her choclate..her whole face was covered with choclate " ye dekho issko...sab apne kaam me busy aur madam apne kaam me "

Daya looked at his daughter and murmured " Satyansh "

He said in helpless tone " Anu ..ye kya kya aapne beta...pura ganda kar liya Kapra aapne...ab mumma se peeti paregi to mere peeche mat chhupna aap "

Anaya smiled sheepishly and again got busy in eating choclates with enthusiasm..

" saitan ki naani...aaj isne Dcp sir ko bhi peeche chhor diya...pure bureau itna bhagaya mujhe aur Abhi ko ki poocho mat "

Everyone burst out in laugh..and the gajar ka halwa has also arrived..but there was not any clue of Abhijeet...
