Aarzoo listened that question and turned to Daya with a pure sweet smile in face...she said...
Aarzoo: mera irada kabhi bhi aaplogo ko nuksaan pahuchane ka nahin tha...aaj mera badla pura ho gaya hain...aaj mera yahan koi zaroorat nahin hain...aaj main apni family ke pass laut jaungi...(she smiled with teary eyes)...meri family...meri jaan...
Daya: badla?...kaisa badla?...
Aarzoo(in sharp tone): aaplogo ne mere bhai ko mar diya tha...nahin physically nahin...balki mentally...tadpa tadpake use ek zinda laash bana diya tha...uske us takleef ka badla hi le rahi thi main...jo aaj pura hua...
Pradyuman: tum kehna kya chahti ho saaf saaf bolo...hume kuch samajh nahin aa raha...
Aarzoo: samajhne ke liye aaplogo ko mere ghar aana padega...main janti thi aaj yeh situation aayega...to main HQ se aap sabke liye aaj ke liye leave sanction karwake layi hu...aayie...mere ghar chalte hain...ghar utna bada nahin hain par hum wahan khushi khushi saath rehte hain...aayie...
She left with firm steps...after taking a glance of each other the team followed her with confusion and curiosity in mind...
Aarzoo ignited her car...turned her face towards ACP and DCP who were sitting in back seat...and said...
Aarzoo: mera asli naam Aarzoo Kulkarni nahin hain...mere mom ne mera naam kuch aur hi rakhi thi...darasal mere adopted mom dad ne mera naam Aarzoo rakha tha...
Daya was sitting in the passenger seat...hearing that he said...
Daya: to phir aapka asli naam kya hain?...
Aarzoo: mera asli naam hain Abhika Srivastav...mere dad ke maut ke baad mom mere bhai ko lekar Chennai chali gayi...wahan kuch dino baad main paida huyi...meri mom ne dad aur bhai ke milake naam rakhi thi Abhika...magar badkismati ka saaya mera picha pakad liya...dad ke kuch dushman ko wahan ka pata chal gaya...woh logo ne mom ke upar wahan attack kiya...bhai aur mom to bach gayi...par mujhe unlogo ne mujhe uthake le gaya...aur bech diya Kulkarni family ko...mere kismat achchi thi jo unlogo ne mujhe apna liye...padhaya likhaya...aur mujhe apne pairo me khada hone ke kaabil banaya...thank you to them...
None of them uttered anything...though something struck in Daya's mind but he did not expell it out...Aarzoo guessed it but she too said nothing...she only smiled...
Abhika rang the doorbell of her house...her father opened the door and smiled to say...
Dad: aa gayi tu beta?...aa jaa...
She smiled and pointing to the team,she said...
Abhika: dad yeh ACP sir hain...yeh DCP sir...yeh Daya sir...yeh Purvi...yeh Freddy aur yeh Pankaj...(sarastically)...CID Mumbai Bureau...
All of them smiled and gave a mere smile with a nod...Abhika said...
Abhika: yeh hain mera dad ex senior inspector Abhinash Srivastav!...
Abhishek: hello sir...hello madam...aaiye...andar aaiye...
They entered in slow hesitant steps...Abhika said...
Abhika: bohot saalon baad mujhe inlogo ka saath mila hain...kehte haina achche kaamo ka natejaa humesha achcha hi hota hain...char saal...char saal pehle maine ek sadak pe padi hui zakhmi aadmi ko hospital le gayi thi...use khoon bhi diya tha...achcha kaam ki thi...natejaa bhi achcha hi hua...mere diya hua khoon ko test karke doctor ne bataya...bataya ki...humara...humara...DNA ek tha...bhai tha woh mera...(smiled with tears)...bhai...mera bhai...main tab CID Chennai ke behalf se ek mission pe thi...woh meri life turning mission thi...uske baad maine Chennai se Lucknow CID aa gayi as ACP...Chennai mein to meri adoptive family se to koi zinda nahin thi...isi tarah mujhe meri family mil gaya...
Her sweet smile mesmerised whole CID team...they too smiled...they were really happy to see her happiness...
At that moment a youth came out from inside...CID team was just stunned to see him...they were looking him with their mouth wide open...and their eyes burst out...Daya tried to utter...
Daya: A...Abh...A...Abhijeet!
But 'Abhijeet' did not show any sign of identity to them...he just smiled and said...
Guy: hello!...nice to meet you all...
Daya: Abhi!...Abhijeet tum hume pehchaan nahin rahe ho?...
Guy: oh hello!...listen!...
Daya: dekho yaar...mujhse...hum se bohot badi galti ho gaya hain yaar...hume tum par vishwas na karke bohot badi galti kiye hain...hum mein se kisiko bhi tumhara dil pe kya beetegi iska khayal nahin aaya...hum bas apne maan ke karte gaye...hum mante hain yaar...humare galti maafi ke layek nahin hain...par tumne hume saza to diye na?...char saal tumse dur rahe humlog...ab aur judaai bardash nahin hota...achcha tum hume maaf mat karo par please apne post pe wapas aa jao...please?...Abhi yaar please...
Pradyuman: haan beta...aaj hume tumhare ahmiyat ka pata chal raha hain...tumhare jane ke baad ek bhi din aisa nahin gaya jab hum ne tumhe yaad na kiye ho...tum chale to gaye the...par apne saath CID Mumbai ke sari shaan sari khushiyan le gaye...beta please wapas aa jao apne is budhe baap ke pass...aur bardash nahin hota mujhse...
DCP: haan Abhijeet...tum CID ke best cop ho...yaar please hume maaf kar do...aur wahan wapas chalo...
Purvi: haan sir...please?...
Abhishek and Abhika was watching this drama and enjoying it very much...they were laughing silently...now Abhika interferred...
Abhika: arey bas bas...kyun us bechare ko pareshan kar rahe hain aaplog?...woh aaplogo ka saathi Abhijeet nahin hain...balki uska judwa bhai Aditya hain...paanch minute chota hain woh Abhijeet se...Abhijeet andar hain...Aditya zara use bula lana...
Aditya: nahin...nahin main nahin janewala...Jeet subah se mood rour karke baitha hain...main agar gaya to woh karate black belt mujhe mar hi dalega...
Abhika forwarded towards him in slow steps while folding the sleeves of her full sleeve shirt and said...
Abhika: tu shayad yeh bhool raha hain Adi ke mujhe bhi police training ke dauran karate sikhaya gaya tha...tu jata hain ya...
Abhishek: arey Abhika beta!...yeh kya hain?...kisi ko dhamkana thodi na chahiye...pyar se bolo...maan jayega...nahin to...
Aditya: papa aap kise support kar rahe ho?...mujhe ya is chudail ko?
Abhika now turned towards the CID team and said...
Abhika: yeh hi mera woh bhai jise maine sadak se uthake apna khoon deke bachayi thi...mera bhai...
Purvi: aapke ghar mein aur kaun kaun hain?...I mean...
Abhika: main,papa,mere dono humshakal bhai,Aditya ke patni Rhia...Abhijeet ke adopted beti Shreya aur uski patni...
Tarika(hell shocked): pa...patni?...Abhijeet ne shadi kar liya?...
Aditya(in sharp tone): nahin to kya apni purane zindagi ke yaadon mein dooba rehta?...dard mein tadapta rehta?...yahin chahte haina aaplog?...kis haq se yeh haq jata rahe aaplog?...
The rest team lowered his head in guilt and shame...yes he was true...what right they had left on Abhijeet?...they did not have any right to interfere in his life...Daya asked in low tone...
Daya: patni?...achcha hain...name kya hain unki?...
Abhishek: Roshni...philhal woh yahan nahin hain...Ahmedabad gayi hain office ke kaam mein...
Pradyuman(hell shocked): Roshni?...Abhijeet ne us pagal ladki se shaadi kar liya hain?...
Abhishek(in firm tone): zuban sambhalke baat kijiyega ACP Pradyuman...humari badi bahu ko deemag ki beemari thi...par ab woh bilkul theek hain...aur woh deemagi mareez ho sakti hain par kabhi bewafa nahin hogi...(sarastically)...jo deemagi taud pe swasth log aksar karte rahte hain...
The internal meaning of his words were clear to the CID team...Abhika said in sharp tone...
Abhika: aaplogo ne to zulm karke use mentally maar hi diye the...isliye main yeh decide ki ki main aaplogo se badla lungi...aaplogo ko us har ek dard ke ehsus karwaunga jo mere bhai ne saha tha...har ek takleef dungi jo aaplogo ne mere masoom bhai ko di thi...isliye maine Lucknow CID se yahan Mumbai CID mein transfer le liya with promotion...aur aaplogo ko aapne ek ek karnamo ke saza diya maine...
All of them were silent in pain and guilt...only Daya looked at the Srivastav family and said in pleading tone...
Daya: kya hum ekbaar Abhijeet se mil sakte hain?...sirf ekbaar...please?...
Abhishek,Aditya and Abhika took a glance of each other...they were not able to decide wheather to call him or not...they knew his pain...and they did not want to increase it...so it was tough to decide...at last Abhishek said in deep tone...
Abhishek: haan jaao...jaao tum...saath mein apne team ko bhi leke jaao...wahan hain uska room...us side...
Daya,Pradyuman and dr. Tarika went towards Abhijeet's room in slow hesitant steps...Abhika led them...
The room was dark,cold and silent...Abhika knew about her brother's location...she did not remember even to switch the lights on...she was so happy today...now at last she had avenged his brother's insult...she wanted to share it with her brother so she exclaimed in cheerful tone...
Abhijeet: Jeet...Jeet...dekh aaj main tere sare aapmano ka badla le li hain...tujh par huye har ek zulm har ek nainsaafi ka keem vasool ki hain maine aaj unlogo se...dekh woh log aaj tujhse milne aaye hain...Jeet...humlog jeet gaye hain...tu khush to haina?...tu hans to raha haina?...Jeet kahan hain tu?...sun to raha haina?...
Getting no answer...she switched on the lights...and what had she seen made her speechless...
Aankh hain bhari bhari
aur tum...
muskurane ki baat karti ho...
Zindagi hain khafa khafa
aur tum...
Dil lagane ki baat karti ho...
Abhijeet,who was sitting on the armchair,was looking at them...his eyes were over flooded with tears...
THE END OF THE STORY...
Hum humare apno se chahe jitna bhi chot khaye...jitna bhi naraz rahe par jab koi humare aankho ke saamne unka apman karte hain...tab yeh khambhakt aankh...pati nahin kyun...bheeg zaroor jate hain...
