He knew that he would be there. He observed this habit in him for the past 15 years. Whenever he had an important decision to make, he would stand on the balcony and stare at the sky like he would find his answer written there. Like someone was sitting there to guide him. He stood back blankly staring at him. He closed his eyes tightly to stop the tears, that were almost running down his face. He could feel the latter shivering with cold and he disappointedly nod his head. He went back to his room and pick up a jacket and brought it back. He put the jacket on the latter's shoulder from behind making him jerk a little.

"Bahut thand ho rahi hai, phir bhi yahan aise hi khare ho?" He questioned him.

"Soch raha hoon. (With a pause) bahut kuch. (sighing) main bahut karib bhi hoon aur bahut dur bhi. (In a determined yet hateful tone) lekin is baar mein apna kaam pura kar kar hi rahoon ga. bahut intezaar kiya hai maine."

"Abhijeet (the man called him softly) main bas yeh chahta hoon ke tumhien koi nuqsaan na ho. Kisi bhi kisim ka. Mere pass sirf tum hi ho (in a scared tone) aur tumhien khone ke bare mein main soch bhi nahi sakta." The man nearly choked.

Abhijeet held the man's hands softly.

"Aap hi ki wajah se main aaj yahan tak phaunch saka hoon. (The man closed his eyes and cursed himself under his breath) Aik aik din maine isi intezaar main guzara hai ke kab mein us ACP PRADYUMAN se apna badla loon ga. (some tears started forming in his eyes) kab mein us ke sath bhi wahi sab karoon ga jo us ne mere baba (he choked in his tears) ke sath kiya."

"Par beta is sab ke liye cid join karne ki kiya zaroorat hai? Agar tum aisa karne ke baad us Acp murder karne ki koshish karo ge tu tum aasani se pakre ja sakte ho, aur tumhien foran saza de di jaye gi." The man asked in fear.

Abhijeet looked at him while some tears ran down his face.

"Aap jante hain Viren uncle, baba us ACP par ankh band kar kar bharosa karte the. Who un ke sab se jigri dost the. Bachpan mein maine un ki mun se Pradyuman naam itna suna, itna tu maine apna naam nahi suna un ke mun se. (he smiled sightly) Aur unhoon ne kiya kiya? (In an extreme hatred tone) apne maqsad ke liye mere baba ki jaan le li. (smiling like a maniac) Cid join karne ki sirf aik hi wajah hai. (With a pause) mein bhi us Acp ke itna karib ho jaun ga ke use meri adat par jaye. Who bhi mere upar aankhien band karke yaqeen kare take jis din mein us par goli chalaun (looking at nowhere) tu us ki aankhoon mein who takleef dekh sakoon jo ke dhoka milne par hoti hai. (Stressing on his words) who bhi kisi intihai karibi insaan se…" Abhijeet said.

'Par agar us ne tumhien pehchan liya toh? Phir kiya hoga. Who Aarav ke itne karib the tu yaqeenan tumhien bhi jante hongien?" Viren asked in a worried tone.

"Who sirf aik hi baar aaye the hamare ghar par aur us waqt mein chota tha. Aur na hi unhien mera asli naam pata hai.

Aarav entered his house along with Pradyuman. It was Pradyuman's first time in his home. His attention was caught by a little boy who came running at bullet speed.

"Are mera yeni aagaya. (Aarav picked Abhi in his arms, while Pradyuman glanced at him confusingly).

Aarav laughed at him and said "Yeni tu main is ko piyaar se bolta hun. Is ka asli nam tu (but Pradyuman gestured him to stop) kya hua?

"Agar tum ise piyaar se yeni bolte ho tu hum bhi isse piyaar se yeni bolien gein" Pradyuman smiled.

Abhijeet turned his father's face toward him and showed him the drawings in his hand. Pradyuman admiringly looked at the cutest father-son duo.

Abhijeet smiled and realized how he hasn't heard the term yeni in 15 years. He didn't even know what I mean but he never asked his father to stop calling him that. He smiled ruefully while Viren took him back to his room.

AFTER 2 MONTHS.

Pradyuman was sitting in his office cabin, immersed in reading a file when he received a call. He looked at the phone screen and picked up hurriedly.

"Ji Kabir sir, Kuch kam tha?" He asked in a formal tone.

"Are who maine tumhien yeh batane ke liye phone kiya tha ke training academy mein 20 mein se 2 ka selection hua hai. Aik ki posting Delhi mein hogi aur aik ki Mumbai mein hui hai. Dono hi officers bahut sharp hain. Jis ki posting Mumbai mein hui hai, who tumhien kal se join kare ga. Abhijeet naam hai us ka. (Pradyuman nodded understandingly) Us ki further 10 days training tum dekho ge. Agar tum chaho tu usse apne sath field work par bhi le kar ja sakte ho who tum pe depend karta hai…." said Kabir

"Ji theek hai sir…mein dekh lunga baki sir." Pradyuman assured him.

"Baqi koi issue ho tu tum mujh se discuss kar lena. GOOD LUCK." Said Kabir smilingly.

"Thank you, sir. I will take care of the rest." Said Pradyuman assuring him.

He declined the call and place his phone on the table. He continued reading the file. Sudhakar entered inside his cabin to discuss something about the ongoing case.

"Sudhakar kal se hamien aik new officer join kare ga. Abhi HQ se call aayi thi inform karne ke liye." Pradyuman told his second in command.

"May I ask who is he?" Sudhakar smiled.

"Abhijeet naam hai us ka. And I have to assist him in his remaining 10 days of training… (pointing towards him) Tum aur Jayant…you both should look after the bureau in my absence. I don't need any kind of disturbance here."

"Sir aaj se pehle hua hai kiya?" Sudhakar smirked.

Pradyuman smiles and moves out of his cabin. He was moving towards the door when his eyes fall on one of his young officers. It was his 5th month but yet he struggled to make a file.

"Daya (Acp sir called him sternly) Kiya file ke page bas palat kar dekhe jaa raho. US ko dekhne se us mein khud ba khud hi kaam nahi aajaye ga. Tumhien karna pare ga."

"Ji sir, who bas main yeh dekh raha tha ke kaam khatam kyun nahi ho raha hai." Daya answered making an innocent face.

"(sarcastically) Who isi liye nahi ho raha hai kyunke tum unhien dekhe rahe ho sirf. Kuch hath hillao tu kaam ho jaye ga tumhara." Saying this Acp moved out of the office.

Daya saw him going and when he was confirmed that he has left, he sticks out his tongue on the door and murmur under his breath.

"Kyun bhai Daya, kis ko mun chora rahe ho.? Daya jerked, his eyes widened as he heard Sudhakar's voice.

"Who sir kuch bhi nahi bas dekh raha tha ke zubaan sahi hai na." Daya laid the dumbest reason infront of him.

Sudhakar stood there staring at him with a disgusted face that broke down into a laugh.

"Main bhi kabhi kabhi Acp sir ke dantne ke baad check karta hoon ke mere zubaan theek ha ke nahi." And he went from there smiling and nodding at his junior while Daya sits there in embarrassment.
