Chapter 35: The Hero.
Same Day Afternoon: CID Bureau -
NIKHIL informed ABHIJEET: Sir, there is a case.'
ABHIJEET looked at him: Location?'
NIKHIL answered: On the way to the interrogation room.'
ABHIJEET gave him a weird look but he went away.
ABHIJEET got out of his cabin walking towards the office door to see from the glass, RAJAT in handcuff with FREDDY at the corridor approaching towards the office.
ABHIJEET quickly walked out and stopped them out of the door confronting RAJAT.
RAJAT seeing ABHIJEET spoke with a joyful smile: Hello sir.'
ABHIJEET real pissed: What did you do now?'
FREDDY asked: Aap ise jante ho sir?'
ABHIJEET looked at FREDDY and FREDDY informed him: Sir, he had a huge fight outside of a shopping mall.'
FREDDY moved aside to reveal 3 beaten and broken people behind them saying: Beating this people black & blue.'
ABHIJEET saw a man limped with a plaster on his leg; second one had a plaster on his hand and third one with a broken nose.
ABHIJEET with a troubled expression to RAJAT: Jaha sher ka dar hota hai, wahi jake teri shaam dhalti hai kya?'
RAJAT looking back at the three men said: Ye? Sher?'
ABHIJEET: Mai in sher ki nahi...'
ABHIJEET moves aside giving him the view of the CID office where TARIKA could be clearly seen through the glass door talking with NIKHIL and said to RAJAT: Us sherni ki baat kar raha hoon.'
RAJAT's eyes went wide in shock: Ye police station nahi hai?'
ABHIJEET: From which angle it looks like a police station to you?'
RAJAT looking at FREDDY asked: Mujhe pakdne to police hi aayi thi hospital me.'
FREDDY: Sir, Inspector SHINDE ne kaha ki ye aapka case hai isliye ise yaha bhej diya aapke paas.'
RAJAT shocked: Mujhe inhe hospital leke hi nahi jana chahiye tha. Kisine sach hi kaha hai "Har achha kaam karne ki sazaa milti hai."
ABHIJEET: Jisne bhi kaha hai bahot sach kaha hai.'
ABHIJEET walked inside with FREDDY pulling RAJAT with them inside.
RAJAT pleaded ABHIJEET: Sir... My sister will shoot me this time.'
ABHIJEET: Don't worry, your sister knows that you were helping us and she forgive you for that.'
RAJAT happily asked: Really?'
ABHIJEET stopped and turned to him: But I don't know the consequences of this act.'
RAJAT stood in horror and ABHIJEET followed his gaze to see TARIKA behind him.
CID Bureau: Interrogation room -
The three broken person were sitting on chairs in a queue and TARIKA angrily stared RAJAT after listening the matter from FREDDY.
TARIKA angrily to RAJAT: Do you want to become like one of them having roadside fight like this? Will you ever change for a good?'
RAJAT stood with his head down as TARIKA: asked: Why did you slap them first to initiate the fight?'
RAJAT: ARNAV ki naak toot gayi thi na. That's why I just slapped them first.'
TARIKA looked away in disbelief at ABHIJEET and he just shrugged off saying: Tumhara hi bhai hai.'
TARIKA: If they were misbehaving with girls, police is there in the country. Why didn't you inform them? Who are you to punish them?'
RAJAT raised his voice a little: Why? Only CID has the copyright to slap the convicts? A common man can't slap a wrong person doing something wrong?'
They heard a loud roaring voice that echoed the room: What's going on here?'
They looked at the door to see ACP PRADUMAN entered the room with DAREYA right behind him.
ABHIRIKA looked a bit shock to see ACP at sudden as he observed the room.
ABHIJEET: Sir aap? Aap ne to apni vacation extend kar di thi na?'
ACP: I am still on vacation. I just come to check how things are going in the bureau.'
Turning at TARIKA, ACP asked: You must be senior officer TARIKA, right?'
TARIKA: Yes sir.'
ACP: Are you doing well here?'
TARIKA: Yes sir.'
RAJAT in his joyfully curious while ACP in his roaring voice at a time asked looking at each other: Kaun hai ye..?'
RAJAT backed at his roaring voice and FREDDY told ACP about the fight he had showing the three beaten men.
ACP looked at TARIKA asking: It's police's case. Why they are here?'
TARIKA don't know what to say: Sir.. ye... ye...'
ACP looked at ABHIJEET asking: Why he is here?'
ABHIJEET: Sir... wo... wo... sir...'
ACP aloud: DAYA! Will you tell me what the matter is?'
DAYA: Sir ye wo... wo... ye...'
ACP: Kya ye wo, wo ye laga rakha hai? Can somebody tell me what's going on here?'
SHREYA came forward answering: Sir, He is RAJAT. He recently helped us in a drug case.'
ACP looking at RAJAT asked: Why did you beat them?'
RAJAT: In the broad day light they had the gut to misbehave with girls. I couldn't stand it. Indian police can't lock them up for sexual harassment instead of handcuffing me?'
ACP: You are right but right now they are looking the victims. It's an excessive use of force. You shouldn't have beaten them that badly. You can't take the law like that in your hand.'
RAJAT: What's the use of the law when it can't help the people it is made for? Police can't be everywhere for everyone in the country. Should I have waited for the consequences of their behavior? These little-little acts of theirs give encouragement to big crimes. People like them in the country are more dangerous than the terrorists.'
The blood of the officers in the room boiled giving dead glares to the 3 convicts while RAJAT looking at ACP said: And Sir, just look at them. They were 3 and I was alone. Agar mai unhe nahi maarta to wo mujhe maar daalte.'
Whatever he said was a fact and not a single person present there can deny it.
ACP asked: Was it your sister or friend they were misbehaving with?'
RAJAT furiously shouted glaring at those men: They asked me the same question to get those broken bones. Was it necessary to be my sister or friend to interfere to stop jerks like them. They can be anybody's sister. They are the daughters of the country. Shouldn't it be the duty of the sons of the country to protect them? How could you tolerate such a sight in front of you?'
RAJAT looking at ABHIJEET asked: What would you have done sir if they misbehaved with your sister?'
ABHIJEET with gritted teeth: Mai uske haath pair todke, use chaupati ke paani me itna doobata itna doobata ke ladkiyo ko pareshaan karna to door apni khudki wife ko bhi nazar uthakar dekhne se pahle chaar baar sochta.'
ACP and other officers looked shocked at him and he simply shrugged off at the fact.
RAJAT smirking at the 3 men: you got off so easily. Aapne jinhe chheda tha wo inhi ki bahen thi.'
ABHIJEET from behind asked: Kyaa?'
RAJAT turning at ABHIJEET said: Inhone jinhe chheda tha unme se ek aapki bhi bahen thi.'
ABHIJEET called PURVI putting the phone on speaker for others to listen as well and asked on phone: Where are you now?'
PURVI: home.'
ABHIJEET: Are you all right?'
PURVI: Yes, what would happen to me?'
ABHIJEET: What happened at the shopping mall?'
PURVI a bit tense answered: Nothing… Nothing happened. As I told you I went to movie with my friends.'
ABHIJEET: PURVI, RAJAT got arrested. Tell me what happened?'
Flashback:
After completing her shopping to surprise her brother at his birthday PURVI was waiting outside of the mall with VANI and TARANA for RAJAT to pick them up as PANKAJ has to leave urgently saying he called RAJAT to drop them home.
TARANA walked a little further trying to call RAJAT when she heard a man making comment on her.
She ignored it walking towards her group but a man blocked her way as she looked up startled.
TARANA gave a kick to his shin bone leg just like TARIKA taught her. The man jumped holding his aching leg and TARANA walked to her way only to get pulled by her dupatta as she turned around in shock.
PURVI saw this and approached towards them followed by VANI to see another man held TARANA's hand tightly as she struggled to free it.
PURVI came like a wind giving a slap to the man's face.
The man angrily looked at her and pushed off TARANA hard to grab PURVI in rage.
Just an inch away his hand stopped and the two looked to see RAJAT who held stumbling off TARANA and with other hand held the man's hand before he could touch PURVI.
TARANA smiled looking up at his brother as he asked: Are you all right?'
TARANA nodded standing straight and RAJAT turned at the man: Don't even dare to touch her.'
The man jerking his hand off asked: Kyu teri bahen ya biwi lagti hai kya?'
Only to get a hard slap by RAJAT and RAJAT turning at the girls said to PURVI: You can drive, right? Don't spoil your day for them. Take the taxi and go home.'
PURVI: But…'
PURVI had never seen those savage eyes of his before as he sternly said: I said go home, three of you.'
He saw PURVI taking the driver's seat, looked at him and he gestured her stretching his thumb and index finger to smile.
PURVI nodded with a smile at him as she heard VANI saying 'He is really your Hero.' and she drove off while RAJAT felt something hit hard on his back as he turn around to see the man holding a stick with his two friends. And what next, in his self defense RAJAT beat those guys as long as he could before taking them to hospital.
Flashback end.
Present:
PURVI: BHAI, he didn't do anything. Some people were harassing us and he got involved with them because of me.'
ABHIJEET: Why didn't you tell me before?'
PURVI: You would have almost put them in coma being an obsessive brother. I am really sorry but it's not RAJAT's fault. Please don't put him in lockup.'
ABHIJEET: Ok, I will talk to you after getting home.'
ABHIJEET cuts the phone and glared at the 3 people.
Seeing that ACP said: ABHIJEET emotions are not allowed in our duty. Act like a leader of the team.'
ABHIJEET: Right sir.'
ACP: After solving the matter meet me at the cabin.'
ACP left as NIKHIL entered the room with a sketch his hand and said to ABHIJEET: Sir, SACHIN sir has sent a sketch of JAGGA.'
ABHIJEET still staring the 3 man took the sketch from him.
NIKHIL: Sir JAGGA!'
ABHIJEET looking at him: Haan NIKHIL suna maine ye JAGGA ka sketch hai.'
NIKHIL took the sketch from ABHIJEET's hand showing the sketch and pointed at one of the three men.
NIKHIL: Sir JAGGA... JAGGA.'
ABHIJEET looked at the sketch and at the man: Ye to isi ka sketch hai.'
TARIKA, DAREYA and FREDDY too looked shocked.
ABHIJEET asked the man: What's your name?'
Man scared: JAGAN.'
DAYA holding the man by collar angrily: Sach-sach bata?'
JAGAN: Sir, mera poora naam JAGAN AAGLAGE hai. Isliye log mujhe JAGGA bhi bulate hai.'
ABHIJEET: Do you know NILESH?'
The man got a bit tense that was enough for CID to know the fact.
SHREYA: Jise CID poore shaher me dhoondh rahi hai wo CID bureau me hi baitha hai.'
RAJAT shocked: He is involved in drug case?'
ABHIJEET looking at RAJAT: Well done! Galat jagah se sahi banda uthaya hai. You are born to become a CID officer.'
TARIKA: ABHIJEET..!'
ABHIJEET to TARIKA: just think it, his whole family is involved with CID then how he won't.'
ABHIJEET to NIKHIL: NIKHIL, keep him to interrogate and send other two to the police station.'
NIKHIL: Yes sir.'
FREDDY showing RAJAT: Sir, iska kya karu?'
ABHIJEET: Let him go.'
RAJAT: Thank you sir.'
Night: ABHIJEET's flat -
After the hectic day ABHIJEET opened the door of his house to see all the lights off and felt strange.
With his each step in the house light covers the darkness and he heard the sweetest voice of his life...
Happy birthday to you...
Happy birthday dear BHAI...
Happy birthday to you...
As the room flooded with light ABHIJEET looked surprised to see PURVI with a cake in her hand with his whole CID family including ACP PRADYUMAN and even TARIKA waiting for him as all happily shouted...
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"
ABHIJEET couldn't help and smiled looking at them.
