!Past... Present... Future!

Continued from the previous;

Daya returned back to his home and he was about to enter in his room when he heard a voice-" kaha the itne der?"

Daya turned and saw tarika standing with angry expression.

Daya-" wo mujhe kuch kaam yaad aa gaya tha..."

Tarika-" kya mai jaan sakti hu kaisa kaam..."

Daya (angry)-" har baat tumhe batana mai zaroori nai samajhata tarika..."

Tarika was stunned as well as hurt on his reaction.

Daya realized his mistake and said-" I'm sorry tarika... mai tumhe hurt nai karna chahta tha... I'm sorry..."

Saying this, he went towards his room and tarika thought-' ye achanak daya ko kya ho gaya h... kuch toh baat h... pata lagana padega...'

Thinking this, she went towards her room.

Next morning at shreya's house;

Shreya, shaurya and SM were having breakfast and there was complete silence.

Shaurya completed his breakfast quickly and said-" mai school jaa raha hu..."

He got up to go when shreya said-" shaurya..."

Shaurya-" haan mummy..."

Shreya came towards him and said-" naraaz ho..."

Shaurya shook his head.

Shreya cupped his face and said-" sorry..."

Shaurya smiled a little and hugged her.

Shreya too hugged him and shaurya said-" iska matlab mai daya uncle ko papa bula sakta hu..."

Shreya separated and said-" iss baare mei hum baad mei baat karenge... tumhe school ke liye der ho raha hoga..."

Shaurya became sad and went towards the school.

On the way;

Shaurya was walking to his school when he heard a voice-" good morning shaurya..."

Shaurya turned and said-" abhijeet uncle... aap..."

Abhijeet-" haan beta... kaise ho?"

Shaurya-" theek hu uncle..."

Abhijeet noticed that shaurya was sad.

Abhijeet-" kya hua beta?"

Shaurya-" kuch nai uncle..."

Abhijeet-" toh phir tum udaas kyu ho..."

Shaurya looked down and said-" nai uncle... mai udaas nai hu..."

Abhijeet knelt down and made shaurya to face him.

Abhijeet-" beta mai aapke papa ka best friend hu... aapke papa bhi jab udaas hote h toh kisi se kuch nai kehte... par mujhe pata chal jaata h... issliye ab tum bhi mujhe batao ki kya hua h..."

Shaurya (teary)-" uncle... wo mummy ne mujhe papa ko papa bulaane se mana kiya h.."

Abhijeet wiped his tears and said-" arrey.. aise rote nai h...dekho beta aapke mummy aur papa ke beech mei jhagda chal raha h... par tum chinta mat karo... mai hu na... tumhare mummy papa ka jhagda khatm kara dunga aur tum daya ko papa bula sakoge.."

Shaurya-" promise..."

Abhijeet smiled and said- " pakka promise..."

Shaurya smiled and hugged him.

Shaurya-" thank you uncle..."

Abhijeet smiled and thought-' bilkul daya ki tarah h...'

They separated and shaurya went towards his school.

In the bureau;

All were engrossed in the work when Dr. Saluke entered with tarika.

Nikhil-" sir aap yaha..."

Before saluke could say anything, ACP sir came out of his cabin and said-" maine bulaaya h..."

All looked at him and he continued-" wo abhijeet, daya aur shreya ko ek mission ke liye kal delhi jaana h... waha pe ek forensic doctor ki bhi zarurat hogi... issliye tarika bhi inke saath jaegi..."

Shreya-" kaisa mission sir?"

ACP sir-" iss baare mei tumhe abhijeet aur daya bata denge... aur kisi ko shaq na ho issliye abhijeet tarika aur daya shreya as a couple jaenge..."

Tarika and shreya were stunned to hear this.

Tarika's POV-' sir sab jaante hue bhi mujhe abhi ke saath bhej rahe h... kyu?'

Shreya's POV-' daya ke saath as a couple... oh god why?'

Tarika-" sir mai..."

ACP sir-" koi argument nai aur abhijeet aur daya... abhi mere cabin mei aao..."

ACP sir went in the cabin and duo followed him.

In the cabin;

Abhijeet-" yes sir..."

ACP sir-" abhijeet... kyu kar rahe ho ye..."

Abhijeet-" sir mujhe achche se pata h ki mai kya kar raha hu..."

Daya-" par abhijeet... tumhari jaan ko khatra hoga isse..."

Abhijeet-" agar ye nai karunga toh humei kabhi nai pata chalega ki wo kaun h..."

Daya-" par..."

ACP sir-" abhijeet sahi keh raha h daya..."

Abhijeet-" aur phir tum ho na... mujhe kich nai hoga..."

Abhijeet smiled a bit and daya too smiled.

Daya-" theek h boss... jaisa tumhe sahi lage..."

ACP sir-" achcha ab tum log ghar jao aur packing kar lo... kal subha ki flight h..."

Abhijeet-" theek h sir..."

Next day in delhi;

Abhirika and dareya reached delhi and checked inn a hotel.

In dareya's room;

Daya went to freshen up and shreya started to unpack the stuffs but internally she was very much disturbed.

Shreya's POV-' kuch samajh nai aa raha ki mai yaha daya ke saath kya kar rahi hu.. aur kyu... ye ACP sir bhi na...'

Daya came out of the washroom and said-" shreya.."

Shreya turned and said-" haan..."

Daya-" tum bhi fresh ho jao phir lunch karne chalte h..."

Shreya-" theek h..."

Shreya moved in the washroom with annoyed face and daya just smiled

In abhirika's room;

Abhijeet was working on his laptop when tarika came out of the washroom. She didn't see the water on the floor and accidentally slipped. She was about to fall but abhijeet held her. He too lost his balance and both fell on bed with abhijeet being bottom and tarika on top of him...

Teri baahon mei mili... aisi raahat si mujhe

Ho gayi jaan-e-jahaan teri aadat si mujhe

Dekhu mai jab tujhko toh tab mera din ye dhale

Deewana... kar raha hai tera roop sunehra

Mu sar sar... khal raha hai mujhko ab ye sehra

Bata ab jaaye toh jaaye kaha...

They came to reality on ringing of abhijeet's phone.

Tarika instantly got up and abhijeet picked the phone.

Abhijeet-" haan daya... haan hum aa rahe h..."

Abhijeet disconnected the call and said-" daya ka phone tha... humei neeche lunch ke liye jaana h..."

Tarika nodded and they went downstairs.

Abhirika and dareya were sitting far away from each other so that no one can doubt them.

Shreya-" waise hum kaun se mission ke liye aaye h?"

Daya thought-' ab ise kya bolu...'

Shreya-" daya..."

Daya-" haan..."

Shreya-" hum yaha kyu aaye h?"

Daya-" wo mai abhi nai bata sakta..."

Shreya-" kyu nai bata sakte..."

Daya-" abhijeet ne mana kiya h..."

Shreya-" but..."

Daya-" trust me shreya..."

Shreya smiled sarcastically and said-" ek baar trust kar ke dekh chuki hu..."

Daya stopped eating and looked at her.

Daya-" shreya..."

Shreya (cutting him)-" better hoga agar hum uss baare mei baat na kare..."

Shreya continued eating and daya thought-' sach toh tumhe janna hi hoga... chahe tum chaaho ya nai...'

On the other side, abhirika finished their lunch and were about to leave when abhijeet got a call.

Abhijeet-" hello... hello..."

The call got disconnected and abhijeet said-" network problem... tarika ji aap room mei jaiye mai aata hu..."

Abhijeet went outside the hotel and tarika went towards the room.

As soon as she entered in the room, she saw a packet lyijng there.

She opened it and was stunned to read the note...

Mana kiya tha na abhijeet ke kareeb jaane we...par tum

Tum itni shaatir nikli ki daya se shaadi ka naatak kiya...

Haan mujhe pata chal gaya h ki tum aur daya naatak kar rahe the...

Ab abhijeet gaya...

Tarika was stunned to read the letter and she rushed to daya's room.

She knocked the door hurriedly and shreya opened the door.

Shreya-" tarika... kya hua tumhe... itni pareshaan kyu ho..."

Tarika-" daya kaha h..."

Shreya-" andar..."

Tarika entered in the room and said-" daya..."

Daya-" kya hua tarika..."

Tarika(teary)-" use pata chal gaya h..."

Shreya-" kise kya pata chal gaya..."

Tarika gave daya the note and daya was stunned to read it.

Daya-" abhijeet kaha h..."

Tarika-" kisi ka phone aaya tha aur network na hone ki wajah se wo baahar chala gaya..."

Daya immediately dialed abhijeet's number but it was switched off.

Daya-" switch off bata raha h..."

Tarika-" kya?"

Daya(in tension)-" maine bola tha abhijeet se ki aisa na kare..."

Suddenly he realized what he said.

Tarika-" kya kaha tumne? "

Daya-" wo tarika..."

Tarika-" wo kya daya..."

Daya- " abhijeet ko sach pata h..."

Tarika(loudly)-" kya... use sach pata h... kaise..."

Shreya was very much confused and was stunned on tarika's reaction.

Daya-" wo galti se... maine... I'm sorry tarika... mai nashe mei tha.."

No sooner did daya say this, than he received a tight slap from tarika.

Tarika-" agar abhijeet ko kuch bhi hua toh mai tumhe kabhi maaf nai karungi daya..."

Saying this, she went in her room crying and daya too sat on the bed with thud. The note in his hand fell to floor and shreya picked it up. She read it and was shocked.

She looked at daya who was in shock and sat adjacent to him. She kept her hand on his shoulder and said-" daya..."

Daya instantly hugged her and she controlled herself a lot but failed and hugged him back.

Daya(teary)-" sab meri galti h shreya... tumhare saath bhi galat kiya aur abhijeet ke saath bhi...I'm sorry... I'm sorry.."

Shreya's heart started melting and she said-" daya... ye sab chodo aur abhijeet sir ka pata lagaate h..."

Daya separated and she said-" abhijeet sir ke phone ki last location trace karte h..."

Daya nodded and they started tracing last location of abhijeet's phone.

At unknown place;

A person was sitting on a chair. His hands and legs were tied and blood was coming out of his forehead.

Slowly, he regained his consciousness and opened his eyes.

Person-" aahhh... ye mai kaha hu..."

He tried to move but his hands and legs were tied.

Voice-" hello abhijeet...'"

Abhijeet looked in the direction from where the voice came and was shocked.

Abhijeet-" tum..."
