Footsteps
After case got solve the team was casually joking standing at tracks…
Daya teasingly : Pankaj ko to der se hi sahi samjh aa gaya lekin kisi ko to abhi tak nahi aaya…
Everyone chuckled understanding the tease but fell quite under furious gaze of our sharp shine…
Abhijeet in stern tone : Hmm to Purvi aur ( looked at Daya but found him glaring angrily so dropped the idea of calling him ) bass Purvi mere saamne aaye
Everyone hides their smiles on his antics…
Purvi hiding her smile made an innocent face : Jii sir…
Abhijeet with narrow eyes : Jii sir to aise puch rahi ho tum ki meri saari baate manti ho…
Purvi bowed her head having a shy smile but soon a teasing voice interrupted
Voice : Vaise hi jaise aap mujhse ( stressing ) Jii sir puchte hai kyu Senior Inspector Abhijeet
Abhijeet shock by this voice while everyone smiled broadly seeing ACP sir standing there…
ACP coming forward in teasing smile : Shock laga hai kya kisi ko yaha mujhe dekhke…
Abhijeet gulped : Da..dad aap yaha…
ACP glared at him once then turned to others : Good job everyone! Sabne bahot achche se mission complete kiya…I am proud of you all
Everyone in broad smiles : Thank you sir…
ACP caringly : Ab tum sab log bhi chalo ghar jaao araam karo hmm…
Everyone nodded in a smile and moved towards the car…
Abhijeet cutely: Dad
ACP in a cold tone : Ab agar hospital jaane ka mann ho to chalo…
Abhijeet bowed his head and nodded quietly…
Daya whispering : Boss tumhari parade hogi aaj…
Abhijeet frowned : Sirf teri vajah se kyu bola dad ko ( imitating him ) Ghav gehra hai…
Daya shrugged : Mujhe jhoot bolke pitna thodi tha…
Abhijeet annoyed : Isliye mujhe pitwane ka soch liya...
Daya smiled and about to say something when a strict voice interrupted…
ACP strictly : Daya
Abhijeet made an annoyed face while Daya hides his smile knowing now the silent torcher has begun…
Daya smilingly glancing Abhijeet : Aaya sir…
He went winking him once while Abhijeet glared at him…
Abhijeet started going near the cars holding the now bleeding wound where his Dad and other members were standing…
ACP looked at him coming and his gaze fell upon the bleeding wound which scared him and his eyes became teary to see him like this but he controlled this time and turned to Daya…
ACP in stiff tone hiding the moisture : Daya injured logo ko hospital leke chale jaao…
Abhijeet looked at him with sad eyes but ACP wasn't looking at him even once…
Daya ( pov ) : Kya kehta hai Daya ( looked at Abhijeet who was standing down head ) isski madad karu thodi hai to dost hi apna aakhir…aur sir bhi mere saath bhejke khud bahar se dekhte rahenge isse achcha to mein nikal jaata hu faltu me piss jaunga dono ke beech…
Daya clearing his throat a bit : Sir lekin gundo ko custody me daalne ke liye mujhe ya Abhijeet ko hona padega toh please aap chale jayenge hospital…
ACP irritatingly nodded while Abhijeet gave him a thankful look
Daya left from there after giving a " best of luck " look to Abhijeet…
ACP trying not to be soft: Chalo hospital…Unintentionally he grabbed his hand and helped him to walk
Abhijeet smiled lovingly at him…
He made him sit comfortably at the back seat and sat beside him asking the driver to move to City hospital…
In-Car;
Abhijeet rested his head on his shoulder…
ACP teased : Seat pe bhi rakh sakte ho tum apna sar…
Abhijeet smiled and shifted head from shoulder to his chest…
ACP smiled a bit feeling nice but said in fake irritation: Meine seat pe rakhne ko bola hai…
Abhijeet lovingly : Seat pe rest karne se dard kam nahi hota na Dad…
ACP shook his head and again teased: Chalo mana to sahi tumhe dard hota hai nahi to mujhe lagta tha mere ghar insan nahi iron man paida hua hai…
Abhijeet tried to laugh but suddenly felt high pain wound and a painful groan came from his mouth…
ACP in panic immediately taking him in his hug and caressing his hair : Kya hua Abhii…bahot dard ho raha hai beta…
Abhijeet silent for some time trying to compose himself in that loving shell around him and a soft hand caressing his hair was really helping him in composing…
ACP looked at him and saw his eyes teary because of the pain, tears came in his eyes too seeing him like this…
Abhijeet after some moments said in a low-sweet tone : Ab theek lag raha hai Dad chinta matt kijiye…
ACP said nothing but remain patting his head softly who was hugging him cozily with closed eyes...
After around half an hour they reached the hospital and ACP noticed Abhijeet was asleep…
ACP in a disappointed smile : Itni chot lagne ke baad bina dawai ke koi so kaise sakta hai…sachme bhagwan ne iron man hi diya hai mujhe…he shook his head in smile…
ACP caressing his hair : Abhii utho chalo hospital pahoch gaye hum
He softly separated him from the hug…
Abhijeet looked at him with cute-annoyed face : Kya hua Dad sone do na…
ACP grabbing his hand : Baadme so jaana bachche pehele dressing karwao chalo…
In hospital;
Both entered Dr Aditya's cabin…
He saw both and noticed Abhijeet's wound, he shook his head in disappointment
Aditya standing said in excitement: Aaiye aaiye…bass zara do minute rukiye mein kisi ko bula lu
Both got confused…
ACP in confusion : Kya hua Aditya kis ko bula rahe ho…
Aditya in fake sad tone : Sir woh kya haina hospital ki nurses bahot yaad kar rahi thi isse toh socha milwa du apne regular customer se…
Abhijeet glared at him hard while ACP despite controlling laughed out loud…
Abhijeet glaring at Aditya : Kaam karega ab kuch…
Aditya jerked his head : Bol ab kaha lagwake aaye hai…
Abhijeet casually : Pet pe
Aditya with raised eyebrows : Goli ?
Abhijeet nodded a bit casually : Chaku
ACP was looking both open-mouthed on such casual conversation regarding wounds…
Both saw him and became embarrassed at how casual they were regarding all this…
Aditya in embarrassed tone : Chal Abhii beith aake…
Abhijeet nodded with a smile.
Aditya took a look of injury and asked in tension : Uncle sedate kardu na…
ACP worriedly : Ha Adi kardo joh karna hai bass dard na ho usse…
Abhijeet protested like a kid : Injection se dard hi to hoga Dad
Aditya : Dressing se zyada nahi hoga yarr
He was about to protest but stopped getting a deadly glare from ACP…
Abhijeet ( pov ) : Yarr Dad pehele hi naraaz hai ab agar kuch bola na to bass…he looked at Aditya who was preparing injection so he instantly closed his eyes tightly seeing it and held ACP's hand. ACP smiled and shook his head…
Aditya completed the dressing and turned to ACP who was patting Abhijeet's head with teary eyes…
Aditya softly : Uncle theek hai yeh ab pareshan matt hoiye…
ACP looked at him and wiped his teary eyes : Koi problem toh nahi haina Aditya…
Aditya nodded in no...
ACP smiled a bit : Theek hai mein ghar le jaau firr isse…
Aditya nodded in a smile and said in a fake afraid tone : Ha sir leke jaiye nahi to injection ka badla lega mere se yeh…
ACP laughed softly and took him home…
At Home;
He made him lie down on the bed in his bedroom and sat beside…
ACP ruffled his hair : Iss ladke me zara si bhi akal nahi hai itna gehra ghav leke ghumta raha…raaste se bhi bhaag ke aa gaya…aaj to mein isse baat karunga hi nahi chahe kuch bhi karle yeh huh…
He was about to get up when found his fingers entangled…he looked at him and found him awake
Abhijeet sweetly: Dad thodi si bhi baat nahi karenge…
ACP straightly: Nahi
Abhijeet's face fell at this straightforward answer so he showed a pinch and asked with puppy eyes: Itni si bhi nahi Dad…
ACP turned his face to another side to hide the smile which he couldn't control seeing him…but nothing could be hidden from the sharp gaze of our sharp shine so he hugged him tightly by resting his head on his stomach.
Abhijeet innocently: Sorry na daida ( stretched cutely ) please…
ACP looked at him complainingly: Har baar aise nahi mana sakte mujhe tum samjhe ( Abhijeet hides his smile ) Pehele to chot lagwa li bina matlab ke uske baad Daya jab chodd ke aaya ambulance me to bhagte hue firse aa gaye…Kajol banna hai kya tumhe
Abhijeet shockingly: Kajol!
ACP innocently: Ha vohi to train me aise chadne ke liye bhagi thi na meine tumhari maa ke saath voh film dekhi thi…
Abhijeet looked him open-mouthed and ACP couldn't control more burst out in laughter while Abhijeet made a highly annoyed face…
Abhijeet grabbing his hand to take his attention: Dad bass…( annoyingly ) aapko Kajol hi yaad aayi…Shahrukh Khan bhi bhaga tha aise…
ACP was still laughing whole-heartedly at him while Abhijeet shook his head in a disappointed smile seeing him laughing so heartily…
Abhijeet sternly: Dad…
ACP controlling his fits of laughter: Achcha okay bass ( composing himself )…
Abhijeet cutely: Aap naraaz nahi ho na ab…
ACP glared at him and pointed finger at him warning as: Beithe rehna yahi samjhe
Abhijeet gulped and nodded like a good boy…ACP went out of the room glaring at him once…
Abhijeet ( pov ) : Meine to socha tha kaam bangaya lekin…he jerked his head in disappointment…
After some minutes ACP came back with a light meal for him…
ACP sitting in front of him said strictly while making a bite: Chup chap yeh pura khatam karna samjhe ( offered him a bite who quietly started eating guessing the volcano could erupt anytime at his one protest )
After some time he was about to protest but seeing his father's stern gaze was fixed over him gave a fake smile and started eating again while a hidden smile came on ACP sir's lips seeing him…
After feeding him and giving medicines he turned to go but Abhijeet instantly held his hand…
Abhijeet pleadingly: Dad sachme I am sorry…Mein..( giving up tone ) mein bass nahi aa paya aise mission ke beech se. Mujhe bilkul achcha nahi lag raha tha ki ek choti ( ACP glared at him hard so he said hurriedly ) badi ya kaisi bhi chot ke liye aise jaau mein…
ACP in anger: Ha kyu jaoge tum pareshan karne me maza to aata hi hai mujhe…( his tone got a bit moist ) jaante ho kya halat ho gayi thi jab maloom chala ki tumhe chaku lag gaya hai aur uske baad jab mahashay ko phone kiya to ambulance ke siren ki jagah train ki awaz sunayi de rahi thi ( Abhijeet was looking down ) Lekin nahi tumhe kyu parwah hogi jabtak mujhe ek baar heart attack
Abhijeet instantly interrupted: Dad please…
ACP angrily: Kya please sahi bol raha hu mein saari harkate aise hi hai tumhari…kya ho jaata Abhijeet agar chale jaate hospital toh …baki officers the na akele toh the nahi ki agar tum nahi honge toh criminal pakde nahi jayenge…firr kya zaroorat thi yeh faltu ki herogiri karne ki…batao Abhijeet kyu nahi gaye tum
Abhijeet in hyper tone: Kyuki mein apne aap se aankhe nahi mila pata Dad uske baad…
ACP surprised while Abhijeet composed himself and held his hand making him sit on the bed saying calmly still holding both hands in his soft yet firm grip
Abhijeet in slight smile: Aapko maloom hai Dad bachpan se mera yehi sapna tha ki mein aapke jaisa banu aur koi nahi bass aapke jaisa ( ACP smiled while his eyes got moist ) …Mujhe fark nahi padta Aur kisi ko mujhpe garv ho ya nahi lekin aapko kabhi mujhe apna beta kehte hue sharam nahi aani chahiye…( ACP was about to protest but he cut him softly ) Jaanta hu mein Daida ki itni si baat ko mein bahot alag tareeke se le raha hu lekin yeh har roz ki baate mere liye bahot mayne rakhti hai ( ACP smiled softly ) aur aap bhi to kai baar mission me injured hone ke bawajud mission pura karke hi aate the na firr mein aapka beta hoke kaise beech me chodd ke aa jata…
ACP silent for some time looking in space then smiled and looked at him: Tumse kabhi baato me koi jeet sakta hai…
Abhijeet laughed lightly at this but said proudly: You know daida I follow in your footsteps…
ACP ruffled his hair in a smile: Thankyou beta ( kept hand on his cheeks ) mujhe iss baat se kitni energy milti haina aap soch bhi nahi sakte hamesha sahi raaste pe chalne ki motivation mujhe aapse hi milti hai ( he softly kissed his cheeks and Abhijeet smiled sweetly at him )
Abhijeet kissed his palm softly: You are the best Dad aur bass mujhe aapke jaisa hi banna hai…
ACP in a moist smile: Pata hai Abhi ( faired hand on Abhijeet's face ) Mujhe aap me voh insaan dikhta hai jaisa mein hamesha banna chahta tha ( smoothly hid him in his chest who was smiling with tears while he added in proud-moist tone ) I am proud of you son!
Abhijeet smilingly: I am proud of you too Daida!
