hey He threw the file on the table with a thud and it caused everyone to be startled in a second and also their throat got dried fearing the next happening.
He looked at everyone fiercely and said, "kya ho raha hai?"
Everyone was silent, none ever dared to speak up, that made him more frustrated, "kya hua? Maine pucha hai kuch!"
Freddy got up from his chair and said in fear, "sir wo last case ki report bana rahe the.."
"Achha? Dikhao zara mujhe..kitne lines likhe hai ap sabne?"- he said sternly!
Again pin drop silence! He was looking at everyone but his eye was on a particular human who was standing in a corner, he finally spoke up, "Sir hum bas kam shuru hi karne wale the…wo hum ye details study ka..kar rahe the.." and again looked down..
"Kon se officer the interview panel mein Daya jinhone tumko select kiye hai? Main to beshak hi nahi tha…kyuki mera choice itna ghatiya to kabhi nahi hai!" he exclaimed fiercely..
"Sir…" daya looked at him in shock…"sir I am sorry agar mere se koi galti hua hai to…par mujhe sach mein samajh nahi araha hai ap kis bare mein baat kar rahe ho…"
"Achha? Tumko kabhi kuch samajh ata hai kya? Tum to bas apne is innocent si shakal leke ghumte rehte ho aur sochte ho k sab tumse yuhi impress ho jayenge aur kam ho jayega…suno Daya, galat jagah aye ho tum samjhe! Maine parso tumhe 20 bar bolke gaya tha Daya file complete karke DCP k office submit karke ana hai…kiya tumne?" He asked looking at him with fiery eyes…
Daya looked down, "Sir main…sir I am really sorry..par main sach mein nahi kar paya…"
"Your sorry my foot! Sorry! Tumko zara sa idea hai k DCP ne kya kya kaha hai mujhe? Sirf tumhare wajase usnea j pure department pe ungli uthaya hai…sirf tumhari wajase!"
Freddy said slowly, "sir unka to kam hi hai humara burai karna…ap unke baton k bura mat maniye sir..please"
"han uska kam yehi hai aur isne unko aur bara mauka de diya hai…tumko kam nahi karna hai to chor do! Humara time kyu waste kar rhe ho?" He said angrily…"Mazak banak e rakhe ho? Desh pe bhakti nahi hai, kam karne ka jazba nahi hai aur ajate hai officer banne…suno yahan na hum roz apne jaan pe bazi lagate hai…tum jaise log bas waqt hi barbad karte ho! Ek file to complete hota nahi hai aur karenge desh ka kam! Nalayak! Bas time barbad karwa lo inse…"
"Abhijeet…." Everyone looked at the way from where the voice came…"Shant ho jao…aur Daya we didn't expect this from you…yehi akhri bar hai…ab aisa kuch hua to…anyway sab log apna kam karo…"
Everyone got back to work and Daya was standing there still…
"Daya ab bhi khare kyu ho? Is bar main tumhe Abhijeet k data se bacha nahi sakta hu..wo tumhara senior hai aur tum itne laparwai kaise kar sakte ho?" ACP Sir said keenly…
"Sir main laparwa nahi hu..main kam karna chahta tha…par sir sach mein hi kuch reason agaya tha jis wajase mujhe jana para…" Daya said
"Kya reason"?
"Sir rehne dijiye…ap sabko lagta hai na k main nalayak hu..ab reason se bhi kuch fark nahi padhega sir…wo kya hai na Abhijeet sir ke according to mujhe yahan select hona hi nahi tha..main is position ka haqdar hi nahi hu…aur sir jab koi bina jane apna judgement de deta hai na tab bachta nahi hai kuch bhi…"nd daya went back to his table.
ACP Sir heaved a deep sigh and said to Daya, "Daya tum mujhe to bata hi sakte ho karan kya tha jiske wajase tumne itna important kaam chor diya…"
Daya: Nahi sir mujhe kisi ke judgement change karne ki zarurat nahi hai…kyuki sir aplog nahi samjhenge…Sir main coffee lene ja sakta hu ?
ACP nodded, "hmm.."
After an hour:
Meeting room, DCP's office:
ACP: Sir hume yahan dobara kyu bulaya gaya?ab kya hua?
DCP: Achha? Apko nahi pata kya hua Pradyuman saab? (teasingly)
ACP (controlling himself): nahi sir…nahi pata isi liye puch raha hu…
DCP: Tum log akhir kar kaam kya karte ho? Udhar?
Abhijeet: apse to zyada hi karte hai…
DCP in anger, "kya kaha tumne?itni himmat ata kahan se tumme haan? Kahan se?"
Abhijeet (sternly): mehnat karta hu sir, apna kaam pure imandari se karta hu, to naturally himmat a hi jata hai..
DCP threw a file to them in more anger, "bht kaam karte ho! Bht! Wo to file dekhkar hi pata chal jataa hai…file incomplete, tumhara galti tha wo Abhijeet! Aur galti hoga bhi kyu nahi? Memory hi nahi hai to cheeze yaad bhi rahega to rahega kaise? Jiski zindagi hi incomplete hai uske file complete hoga bhi kaise?"
"Bass!bht bol diya sir apne…bht zyada!ap kisike personal life kam mein ghusa nahi sakte!" ACP Sir stood up and said in anger!
"Main jo marzi bol sakta hu Pradyuman, aur tum mujhe chup nahi kara sakte! Minister ka case tha wo!nTumhare is officer k eek galti ki wajase DIG ne mujhe sunaya hai! Mujhe! DCP Chitrole ka sar jhuk gaya hai aj! Iski wajase!" He said pointing at Abhijeet
"Sir jab Abhijeet ke hi wajase apka sar ucha hota tha tab to kabhi bhi hume yahan bulakar tareef nahi kiya apne..aur aj DIG sir ne apko sunaya to ap hume sunake apna ego satisfy kar rahe hai! Sir Abhijeet is one of the finest officers, jisne apni jaan ke parwa taq nahi kiya kabhi aur ap jo ye uske yaaddashth ko leke tane mar rahe ho na wo bhi desh ke liye hi usne khoya hai DCP Chitrole Sir! Ye to kabhi nahi kaha apne!" ACP Sir strongly said and turned to Abhijeet, "aur haan galti Abhijeet ki…"
He stopped when Abhijeet nodded his head in no…and said, "no sir.." he looked at DCP, "sorry sir…ap batayiye main kya kar sakta hu abhi? File complete ho jayega by tonight aur main khud ake apko deke jayunga…"
DCP: Isbar agar galti hua, you will pay for it! Aur DIG ke office bhejwa dena file! Leave!
ACP and Abhijeet both left his cabin..after coming out from the office ACP Sir said, "Abhijeet…tumne kyu nahi kaha kuch? Daya ka galti tha…DCP ne tumhe kya kuch nahi kaha hai.."
Abhijeet smiled, "sir mujhe sirf kaha hai..Daya ko wo suspend kar dete.. sir ye Dayak e career ka shuruwat hai..aur abhi ek galti se hi suspend hona..sir mujhe ye thik nahi lagta..(Sighed) chaliye choriye sir….apko main ghar chord eta hu…phir wo file khatam karne bhi jana hai mujhe to…"
Abhijeet started walking towards the car, ACP sir was standing there in surprise, he smiled peacefully knowing the honest care Abhijeet has for daya and everything he said was just out of care…" bas uske samjhane tarika thora alag tha…" He smiled on his own and followed Abhijeet towards the car.
