Acp pradyuman was sitting inside his cabin. He was thinking
Waqt kitne jaldi guzar jaata hai. Pata hi nahi chala. Tum to chale gaye hum sab ko chod kar. Ek baar palat kar bhi dekha nahi ki tumhare jaane ke baad kya hoga.
Sab kaam to kar rahe hai. Magar jeena bhul gaye hai. Tumhari kami lagti hai kabhi kabhi. Isliye tumhe phone karta rahta hu.
Wahi criminals wahi forensic lab wahi bureau sab kuch waise ka waisa hai. Magar kuch cheezien aisi hoti hai jo waqt ke saath nahi badalti. Wo waisi hi rahti hai.
Pata nahi kaise hoge tum ?
Kaha ho ye to mai jaanta hu magar kabhi kisi ko nahi bataya.
Bohot din ho gaye hai tumhare saath baat kiye. Umeed hai ki tumhara mission successful raha hoga aur tum wapas sahi salamat wapas aa jaoge.
Yes Nearly six months had passed to that incident.
He was thinking when his phone rang. He picked up the call. The only thing he managed to say was " Mai abhi aa raha hu. "
He came out of his cabin and said " Daya Mujhe kuch urgent kaam ke liye nikalna hai. Ho sakta hai ki mujhe aane me 4 - 5 din lag jaye. Jab tak mai laut kar nahi aata tab tak bureau ko tum sambhaloge. "
Daya : Yes sir.
He came out of the bureau, packed his bag and took the first available flight to his destination.
After reaching to the destination, he went rushing to hospital. On enquiring the receptionist , he moved to particular room. He saw the face of familiar person inside from door, who was sleeping or rather unconscious. He was standing outside the door of room when a person approached him.
Person : Aap Acp pradyuman hai ?
Acp pradyuman : Jee.
Person : Maine hi aapko call ki thi.
Acp pradyuman : Lekin ye sab hua kaise ? Wo to mission par tha na.
Person : Sahi kaha aapne. Wo mission ko pura karke laut rahe the. Tabhi waha par achanak barfila tofaan aa gaya.
Acp pradyuman : What !
Person : Toofan itna tez tha ki do din lage sab shaant hone me. Jo log parso wapas aane wale the wo log laute nahi the. Isliye hum logo ne apni team waha par pohchi.
Team ne sab logo ko dhundne ki koshish ki. Magar hume waha pochne me der ho gayi. Hum unhe dhundte isse pahle hi sab ki maut ho chuki thi.
Acp pradyuman : To phir aap ko wo mila kaise ?
Person : Hume sab logo ki laashein mil chuki thi siwaye uske. Humare maan ne ummeed thi ki wo abhi tak jinda hai. Isliye hum log use dhundna jari rakha.
Wo akhiri din tha jab hum log use dhund rahe the. Agar wo us din na milta to hum log maan chuke hote ki wo mar gaya hai.
Lekin kismat ka ajooba dekho us din wo hume mil gaya. Barf me kafi andar tak phasa hua tha. Hum logo ne use bahar nikala aur foran hospital le gaye.
Acp pradyuman : Lekin aap logo ko mera number mila kaha se ?
Person : Aapka number unhone as a family me mention kiya hua tha. Isliye hum logo ne aapko inform kiya.
Acp pradyuman : Aap nahi jaante ki aapne kitna bada ahsan kiya hai. Aap ne mujhe meri sabse keemati cheez lauta di hai.
Person : Jee ye to humare farz hai.
Acp pradyuman : Doctor ne kya kaha ? Kab tak hosh me aayega ?
Person : Abhi wo stable hai aur rahi baat hosh me aane ki to bataur cop aap samjh sakte hai ki 6 din tak barf ke andar rahe hue insan ko hosh me aane ke liye waqt to lagega.
Acp pradyuman : 6 din.
Person : Jee bikul sahi suna aapne. Ab mai nikalta hu. Mujhe thoda jaruri kaam hai.
The person went away from the place. After he was gone , Acp pradyuman sat on the bench which was outside the hospital room.
The words of person were revolving in his mind.
Acp pradyuman : ( thinking )
6 din wo bhi barf ke neeche. Pata nahi kaise bitaye hoge ye din.
After some time , doctor came for regular check up. After doctor ' s check up , he asked about patient ' s health.
Doctor gave him the same answer as that of person. He asked doctor whether he can go inside the room and after getting permission he went inside room.
The first thing that he did was he spread his hand on the person lying on hospital bed.
Acp pradyuman ' s thinking :
Ye kya halat bana li tumne ?
Mana ki hum dono me duriyan thi magar dil se hum log pass the. Kabhi socha hai ki tumhari ye halat dekh kar mujh par kya gujregi ya phir tumhe ab is baat se koi farak nahi padta ?
Adhi ladhai to tumne jeet li hai. Bas adhi baki hai. Tumhari naam to Abhijeet hai jo humesha jeeta hai. Ab jaldi se hosh me aa jao.
Mai wada karta hu tumse sab kuch thik kar dunga. Pichli baar to mai kuch nahi kar saka. Magar is baar mai tumhare saath kuch bhi galat nahi hone dunga.
He remembered the last meeting with Abhijeet.
He was anxiously waiting for Freddy to come. Some time passed and Freddy came inside.
Freddy : Sir wo Abhijeet sir aa gaye hai.
A peace appeared on his face.
He said " Andar bhej do use. "
Freddy left the room and a person having bandage on his head and difficulty in walking came inside.
Abhijeet : Sir aap thik hai ?
Acp pradyuman : Ha ab to meri taqat bhi mere pass aa gayi hai.
Acp pradyuman noticed that Abhijeet was not meeting his eyes.
Acp pradyuman : ( referring to his condition ) Ye kya hua hai tumhe ? Yun najarein kyu chura rahe ho ?
Abhijeet : Sir kuch nahi wo bas case ke chakkar me.
Acp pradyuman : Jhoot nahi bol paate ho tum.
Abhijeet : Sir aap kya karenge jab aapko pata chale ki aap par aapke sabse karibi ne aapki jaan leni ki koshish ki hai ?
Acp pradyuman : Ye sawal tumhare mann me achanak se kaise aaya ?
Abhijeet : Sir aap bas sawal ka jawab digiye.
Acp pradyuman : Dekho insan jo kuch bhi karta hai uske peeche ek wajah hoti hai. Mai usne aisa kyu kiya uske peeche ki wajah puchonga aur phir mai tay karunga ki uske saath kya karna hai.
Lo ab to tumhare sawal ka jawab bhi de diya. Ab to batao ki wo kya wajah hai jisse tum itne pareshan ho.
Abhijeet noticed Daya outside.
Abhijeet : Sir waqt aane par jarur bataunga.
Acp pradyuman : Matlab.
Abhijeet : Sir please apna khayal rakhiye.
He noticed that Daya was coming inside hospital room.
Abhijeet : Shayad ye humari akhri mulakat ho. Aap mujh se wada kariye ki aap humesha apna khayal rakhenge aur jab bhi aap ko koi pareshani ho to aap sabse pahle mujhe batayenge.
Acp pradyuman : Ye tum kya keh rahe ho ?
Abhijeet : Sir please waqt nahi hai mere pass. Aap Mujhse wada kariye.
Acp pradyuman : Thik hai mai wada karta hu.
At the same moment , Daya entered inside hospital room.
Acp pradyuman : Arey Daya acha hua tum aa gaye hai. Dekho na ye Abhijeet kaisi behki behki baatein kar raha hai.
Daya : Sir aap chinta mat kariye. Mai dekhta hu.
( to Abhijeet ) Abhijeet mujhe tumse kuch jaruri baat karni hai. Jara bahar aaoge tum.
Acp pradyuman : Kis baare me baat karni hai ?
Daya : Sir case ke silsile me.
Acp pradyuman : Tum dono jao aur case solve karo. Case solve karna bhi jaruri hai.
Abhijeet : Sir aap apna dhyan rakhiye. Mai ab chalta hu sir. Pata nahi ab dobara hum log kabhi mil payenge.
Acp pradyuman : Dekha kaisi behki behki baatein kar raha hai.
Daya : Sir hum mai dekhta hu na. Wo bhi bohot acche tarike se.Both of them came out of hospital room.
Us waqt to kuch samjh nahi aa raha tha ki tum kya bol rahe the. Magar ab sab samjh aa raha hai. Us din mujhe pata chala ki kitne safai se dono jhoot bolna sikh gaye. Itni badi baat chupai dono ne milkar. Abhijeet tumhe shayad anadaza tha ki hum log phir kabhi na mil saake. Isliye to badi hoshiyari se waada le liya. Shayad us waqt team ko bhi sab kuch pata tha. Sab kuch jaan kar wo bhi kuch na kar paye.
Jo kuch galat famiyan hui wo dono ke beech me hui lekin uski saza sab ko mili.
A nurse came inside at that moment and said " Sir visiting hours khatam ho chuke hai. "
Acp pradyuman : Thik hai mai nikalta hu.
He came out of the hospital room. The next morning he came again in same hospital room hoping that the person lying on bed will open his eyes. The third day passed like this. He went back to hotel room with a disappointment. With every passing his hope was getting lesser.
It was fifth day. He went inside hospital room. This was enough for him.
Acp pradyuman : Bas bahot ho gaya tumhara. Tumhe mujhe satane me maja aa raha hai na isliye ye sab kar rahe ho na tum. Mere sabr ka imtehaan le rahe ho. Dekho agar tumhe mujhe dil se mana ho to uth jao.
He went near Abhijeet and kept hand on his head and with other hand he gripped his one hand. He was sitting in that position when he felt that the grip on his hand was getting tight.
He looked up and found Abhijeet struggling to open his eyes.
