Flashback: 17 years back
Abhijeet was inside doctor's cabin for treatment of his shoulder which was burned due to acid a few hours back when he was trying to diffuse a bomb along with ACP sir.
ACP sir however was standing outside looking at him from door's glass window. He was in deep thinking when heard an authoritative voice call him…
"Pradyuman…"
ACP sir turned around and saw DIG standing there. He quickly but decently wished him evening. DIG sir nodded and also peeped inside and after seeing doctor coming out be back in his place.
Doctor came out and turned to ACP sir with… "acha hua sir aap inhe yahan le aaye, treatment kaafi sahi waqt par mil gaya warna infection bhi ho sakta tha…waise koi chinta ki baat nahi hai bas burn rate kaafi jyada tha kyunki acid ek concentrated acid tha aur woh bhi high power ka…anyways he's a strong boy, he'll be fine.." doctor smiled and left from there after receiving a warm thank you from both the senior officers.
ACP sir turned towards DIG sir when DIG sir simply asked him… "Pradyuman pehle Abhijeet se mil aao, hum phir aaram se baat karte hain…"
ACP sir looked at him for few seconds and then left to meet Abhijeet without any word further.
Inside Abhijeet's room.
ACP sir moved in and seeing Abhijeet in thoughts so softly called him… "Abhijeet?"
Abhijeet jerked out of his thoughts and looked towards ACP sir… "S..si..sir..woh main..aapne kuch kaha.."
ACP sir looked at him and then shook his head in no with.. "nahi Abhijeet main bas abhi abhi aaya tha..tum theek ho abh?"
Abhijeet nodded silently.
ACP(smiling)- good. Abh araam karo thodhi der yahin…hum thodhi der mein ghar chalte hain…
Abhijeet(hesitant)- sir..woh..woh main..sir main khud chala jaaunga ghar..please sir…
ACP sir looked at him and then nodded in yes with.. "chalo theek hai tum nikal jaao…(deep tone) magar sidhe ghar hi jaana, theek hai?
Abhijeet nodded with down head. "thank you sir.."
ACP sir smiled and after patting his shoulder moved out completely. After few minutes only Abhijeet too left the hospital alone.
DIG(confused)- Pradyuman tumne usse akele kyun jaane diya?
ACP sir(sighing sadly)- sir woh apne aapko hum par bhoj manne laga hai abh aise mein main usske liye kuch bhi karun woh shayad meri taraf se ek acha kadam ho magar woh har baar usse aur ek takleef mein bhand deta hai (looking towards door) iss takleef se usse khud hi bahar aana hoga sir…
DIG(quietly)- hmm..Pradyuman..
ACP sir(turning towards him)- jee sir?
DIG- tumne Abhijeet ko wapas CID mein lene ke liye HQ ek application bheji thi..(ACP sir nodded, DIG sir sighing) who application kharij kar di gayi hai..
ACP sir(shocked)- lekin kyun sir? Aap jaante haina aaj Abhijeet ne kya kiya hai? CID ki hissa na hote hue bhi usne who farz ada kiya o hume kerna tha…Kuch bhi hosakta tha sir usse…mujhe toh laga tha aaj ke iss hadse ke baad aap log…
DIG(explaining)- baat samjho Pradyuman tum…Abhijeet ko department ek mentally retarded aadmi manta hai…unhe…(looking at him) aur mujhe bhi..hume usspar bilkul bhi bharosa nahi hai…agar kal ko phirse aisa kuch hojata hai toh department ko bahot bhari nuksaan bhi uthana padh sakta hai Abhijeet ke karan…maanlo usski yaadasht chali gayi aur woh apne aap ko ek gunda samajhne lage…koi important information usske paas ho joh who leak karde? Aur kya maloom Pradyuman woh abh bhi natak kar raha ho…
ACP sir(in anger)- SIR…
DIG(calm tone)- tum dil se sochne lage ho Pradyuman abh…
ACP sir(painful angry tone)- sir woh apni maa ko tak nahi pehchaan paya..usski maa iss gam mein..aap samajh rahein haina yeh baat sir?aur uski yaadash bhi to humari iss duty nibhate hue hi…aap jante hey na iss baat ko…
DIG(still calm tone)- haan Pradyuman bahot ache se. aur main tumhe yeh bata dun ki aaj ki duniya mein apni jaan aur paisa maa baap ke khoon se kaheen jyada keemti hai…
ACP sir became silent. DIG sir continued in same tone….
"Pradyuman dekho baat ko samjho…Abhijeet se CID ko..humare desh ko bahot khatra hai…(convincing tone) aur rahi baat joh ussne aaj kiya usski toh department usse inaam dega Pradyuman….paisa joh bhi tum kaho..ya joh bhi woh chahe.."
ACP(looking straight in his eyes)- zindagi…usski purani zindagi chahta hun main sir..(tough tone) de sakte hain aap woh wapas usse? (DIG sir down his head) woh aapke case par kaam kar raha tha sir jabh yeh hadsa hua shayad issliye aap abhi yahan hain aur mujhe yeh sabh bata rahen hain warna shayad abh tak bas mera letter with dejection wapas aa chukka hota, haina?
DIG(irritated)- Pradyuman tum isse bahot aage le jaa rahe ho…dekho baat ko samjho…dil se nahi dimaag se…
ACP sir (interrupting)- Main Abhijeet ko CID mein usski original post per rakh rahan hun sir…(DIG wanted to interrupt, ACP in strong voice) apni guarantee par…
DIG(angry)- issme koi guarantee nahi hoti Pradyuman…kal agar desh khatam hojaye uss aadmi ke karan toh tum kiss cheez ki guarantee loge, haan? Hum log usse cid mein nahi rakh sakte Pradyuman yeh baat tum apne dimaag mein bitha lo…
ACP sir(in determined tone)- 3 mahina sir…(looking in his again) meri guarantee par..agar kuch bhi hua main pehle usse goli maarunga phir apne aap ko, yeh mera wada hai sir…
DIG(tough tone)- bas 3 mahine Pradyuman, hum dekhenge bhi aur samjhenge bhi phir joh humara decision woh tumhara bhi (ACP sir nodded silently)aur rahi baat apne aap ko goli maarne ki Pradyuman, toh tum yeh samajhlo ki tumhari aur tumhare officer ki punishment isse kahi jyada takleefdeh hogi agar kuch bhi ulta seedha hua toh…samjhe?
ACP sir nodded strongly.
DIG(standing up as they were sitting in canteen area)- chalta hun main abh..(again) yaad rakhna ACP 3 mahine…
ACP sir be silent. DIG sir left the place…
17 years later…
ACP sir entered inside the self-proclaiming High command Office of Police Dept situated in DELHI. As soon as he entered, he heard so many clapping voices all together. He entered in with a warm smile shaking hands with the higher officials decently with strong hands. It was when he came across a certain man he couldn't stop himself from smiling, the man moved his hand forward for a shake and they both shook hands while the man whispered…
"mujhe khushi hai Pradyuman…"
ACP sir nodded in smile.
After that in another few minutes all settled down around the table while the present DIG stated as…
"aaj humne ek bahot badha mukaam hasil kiya hai…ek aisa mission accomplish kiya hai jisse hume umeedein bahot theen magar jisske liye ummedein bahot kam thi…Today we all present here must congratulate each other as the guides, heads, performers and most importantly as the soldiers of our nation…"
Everybody started clapping proudly for their own success.
DIG sir continued… "yeh mission bahot important tha kyunki issme risks bahot saare the magar result bahot badha, hume bahot se cases different branches mein submit kiye…high level cases to minor cases all were handled by these departments, humne har chote badhe chor ko pakda, har badhe aadmi ke liye saboot collect kiye, from supari killers, professional snipers to minor burglars…humne inn sabhko collect kiya aur apna ek naya informative network banaya. We had flaws and betrayals of course, but we coped up all. Ajj main aap sabhi ko congratulate karna chahta hun iss achievement ke liye, especially ACP PRADYUMAN ko kyunki agar uss end moment pe unnki guidance nahi hoti toh shayad humari itne saalon ki mehnat pe paani phir jaata.."
Again other round of applause was heard.
DIG sir in smile… "chaliye then officers aaplog abh wapas jaa sakte hain…apni apni teams ke paas. But yeh baat yaad rahe officers aapke kissi bhi team member ko iss mission ki jaankari nahi honi chahiye….naahi unhe yeh andaza hona chahiye ki aap 3 mahine se kahan the aur unhe kyun aise cases saunpe gaye, khaskar kuch departments because aap logon ko high profile cases diye gaye the joh initially CBI deal karti hai..is that fine officers?
All nodded in smile and then stood up. All of them congratulated each other individually and left for their own destinations. ACP sir was too leaving when present DIG stopped him as…
"Pradyuman, ruko…"
ACP sir turned in confusion towards DIG, Former DIG, DCP and the CBI head.
ACP sir(confused)- yes sir…
Former DIG(with smile)- Betho…
ACP sir moved forward and sat down at his place again, all others to sat.
DIG(smiling)- tumne iss baar hume ek bahot badhi musibat se bachaya hai Pradyuman…
ACP(smiling warmly)- yeh mera farz tha sir…
Former DIG(smiling too)- Aur hum tumhara yahi farz thodha badhana chahate hain Pradyuman…
ACP sir(confused)- Sir?
DIG(while standing up, ACP sir too stood up with him as others did)- You are being promoted to DCP PRADYUMAN…Former ACP…
ACP sir looked at his forwarded hand and then towards his hand, yes it was a moment he'll be happy about when be with his family, now he can only accept, which he did warmly and decently while shaking the forwarded hands.
All sat down again and this time CBI head started…
"You deserved it Pradyuman, but we have one more news for you…"
ACP sir nodded. Former DIG looked at all and continued in proud tone…
"shayad tumhe woh 3 mahine dena meri zindagi ka sabse badha, mushkil aur…(looking at him with a smile) sabse sahi decision tha Pradyuman. Aaj pure department ko uss aadmi pe beintehaa garv hai jisse shayad hum ek behroopiya samajhte the..ek mentally…khair... Pradyuman Abhijeet jaisa officer bahot kam dekhna ko milta hai, ussme who har khoobi hai joh ek officer, ek insaan…(after sometime looking at his face) ek leader mein honi chahiye…(ACP sir looked at him in shock with wet eyes) haan Pradyuman, CID MUMBAI ka new ACP ABHIJEET hi hai…"
A Beautiful smile came on ACP sir's lips which was prouder than any father's in the world.
CBI head however had something else to say… "magar Pradyuman tumhe iss baat ko bhi samajhna hoga ki Abhijeet abhi bhi fits se guzarta hai (ACP sir be silent) halaki sir pe waisi chot lagne ke baad aisa kissi ke saath bhi ho sakta hai magar tum samjho Pradyuman Abhijeet ke case mein yeh bahot frequent hai..(ACP sir nodded silently)
DIG sir continued softly… "magar humne uss bache mein bahot potential dekha hai Pradyuman, jiss tarah inn 3 mahino mein ussne puri team ko apne kandho pe sambhala hai, bina tumhari guidance ke har case before time limit solve kiya hai, without any consequences or any damage, Hume Abhijeet pe bahot garv hai Pradyuman…lekin yahan baat ek bahot badhi zimmedari ki hai aur hume yeh sirf tum bata sakte ho ki kya Abhijeet iss zimmedari ke liye tayaar hai?"
ACP sir looked at all eyes around him and nodded confidently with.. "jee sir mujhe pura bharosa hai Abhijeet par"
All nodded smoothly though Former DIG be quite and looking at ACP sir for some time but later he too joined in the congratulations with "I hope use khud pey bharosa ho..".
PRESENT:
"boss…coffee…"
ACP sir opened his eyes coming back from his dream with the soft voice of his dear friend.
Salunkhe forwarded the coffee mug to him and then himself settled on a chair in his front.
Salunkhe(softly)- abh batao kya hua?
ACP sir(looking at coffee in his mug)- tu toh chaye banane gaya tha na….
Salunkhe(shocked)- ayn?
ACP sir( relaxed smile)- Tea..chaye…
Salunkhe(in anger)- andha ho gaya hun chaye ki wajah coffee daal di maine (ACP sir smiling) kya hans rahe ho haan, (softly) pata hai mujhe tumhe coffee jyada relax karti hai…
ACP sir(smiling while taking a sip)- hmmm…aur who bhi tere haath ki..
Salunkhe(proudly)- main toh hun hi talented…
ACP sir just shook his head in smile murmuring "lo start ho gaya self praise"
Salunkhe after few minutes asked again… "kya hua hai?"
ACP sir(taking a deep breath)- Abhijeet ne aaj phir apna jadoo chala diya wahan par…
Salunkhe(smiling)- yeh toh achi baat haina? Issme kya bura hai…(taking another sip)
ACP sir(in anger)- bura yeh haiki sahab ne apne aap ko niche gira diya (Salunkhe shocked) wahan jaake complete dumb ban gaya, na yeh pata na woh.(Salunkhe not be able to control his smile, ACP sir glared)
Salunkhe(still in smile)- mujhe kyun ghoor rahe ho aise haan? Abh jaante toh ho tum usse, woh joh chahta hai wohi karta hai, aur bhai acting mein toh who mashallah hai hi…"
ACP sir(in anger again)- haan bas mujhe dubake rakh do tum sabh, (serious tone) yaar problem yeh nahi hai, abh baat yeh hai ki..(quietly) who log apna decision reconsider karna chahte hain…"
Salunkhe(silently)- "aur iss baar umeed kam hogi..."
ACP sir(taking a deep sigh)- "Abhijeet ne Daya ka naam recommend kar diya hai…"
Salunkhe(shaking his head in shock)- "khud toh bach gaya usse phasa diya…bechara.."
ACP sir looked at him angrily.
Salunkhe(calm tone)-" samjhao usse, andaza toh hum sabhi ko hai ki usse kya cheez pareshaan kar rahi hai, yeh baat toh woh Daya se bhi nahi kahega, tum pucho aur baat karo…woh samajh jaaye ga aur rahi baat higher officials ki toh Abhijeet ka track record bahot acha hai yaar, agar woh log reconsider bhi kerte hain tabh bhi Abhijeet hi pehla naam hai…"
ACP sir(silently)- "hmmm…isske andar ka yeh dar nikalna, tum jaante ho Salunkhe bahot mushkil hai…jabh 17 saal se yeh wahi hai toh abh…"
Salunkhe(softly)- "nahi Pradyuman, Abhijeet aage badh gaya hai bas usska dar wahi ka wahi hai…aur yaar dekho mushkil toh hai hi magar Abhijeet bhi bahot samajhdaar bacha hai yaar…ek baar baat toh karke dekho usse tum.."
ACP sir(silently again)- "dekho..karta hun baat…(angrily) pehle toh lagaunga isske do..(Salunkhe chuckled) kya hai haan…"
Salunkhe(smiling)- "aaj tak haath toh aise baato pey daanta nahi tumne use…lagaoge kaise.."
ACP sir(lovingly)-" aaj tak mauka bhi toh nahi diya na…(angrily) lekin abh dekhna tum…"
Salunkhe(smiling)- "dekhenge…"
ACP sir(teasing)- "kya baat hai aaj badhi side le rahe ho usski?"
Salunkhe(shaking his head)-" aisa kuch nahi hai…main toh abh bhi apni side pe hun..tum laga do toh dekhna mujhe badhi khushi hogi…(in irritation) najane meri girl friend se kya dikkat hai isse.."
ACP sir started laughing, Salunkhe looked at him relaxed and moved inside kitchen to deposit the empty cups and be back in few minutes and now both chatting about random stuffs.
After 10 minutes the bell rang again, ACP sir's servant who was out for some work but had now returned opened the door and finding DUO standing there took them inside and then moved.
Abhijeet looked towards ACP sir and can easily sense anger in his eyes so down his head as not be able to meet his gaze.
ACP sir(teasing while pointing towards Abhijeet)- "Salunkhe dekh yeh CID ke new ACP hain… ACP Abhijeet…"
Salunkhe shook his head while Abhijeet really embarrassed.
ACP sir again in same tone… "joh aaj Delhi jaakar apna demotion letter sign karwa ke aaye hain.."
Abhijeet tries hard to control his smile but couldn't do so. Salunkhe look towards Abhijeet and after finding him smiling knew that now ACP be in extreme anger so just to save both from his anger interrupt as…
"Daya zara mujhe ghar chod doge, main taxi mein aaya tha aur abhi yaad aaya ki ek zaroori report banani hai..."
Daya nodded and now both moved out while Daya was utterly confused as he had already spotted Salunkhe sir's Car outside.
The room fell extremely silent after they left. ACP sir was looking at Abhijeet with anger in his eyes while Abhijeet not be able to face those eyes was standing with down head, ACP sir in tease stated again…
"bahot khoobsoorat flooring hai mere ghar mein pata hai mujhe Abhijeet"
Abhijeet embarrassed again so now look up with… "sir..woh..main…"
ACP sir signaled him to come forward and sit… "betho pehle…"
Abhijeet quietly move forward and sat silently. ACP sir looked at him and again in anger ask… "abh aap apni justification dena pasand karenge…"
Abhijeet(down head)- sorry sir…
ACP sir(cold tone)- mujhe maafi nahi Abhijeet reason chahiye…
Abhijeet be silent. ACP sir stood up from where he was sitting and pulled a chair close to Abhijeet and started something in angry tone…
"jaante ho Abhijeet kitna khush tha main (Abhijeet look up at him) ki tum ACP banoge, shayad tumse jyada badhi khushi yeh mere liye thi Abhijeet…lekin tumne sabh kharab kar diya Abhijeet…tum mujhse ek baar baat toh karte, haan? (Abhijeet still silent) main delay karwa deta tumhara promotion thodhe din, mushkil hai Abhijeet yeh zimmedari, main jaanta hun yeh baat, magar tum toh itne saalon se puri team ko sambhalte aa rahe ho Abhijeet, aa rahe hona?"
Abhijeet(in low tone)- "sir aapke saath kaam karne mein aur aapke bina kaam karne mein bahot antar hai sir…(looking up at him) sir aap humehsa mere saath rahen hain.."
ACP sir(in anger)- "kya in teen mahine tha main tumhare saath, haan? Abhijeet inn teen mahino mein tumne puri team ko bahot ache se sambhala hai, woh bhi akele bina kissi guidance ke…(in soft tone) Abhijeet department ne CID Mumbai ko aise cases bahot soch samajhke diye the, who log dekhna chahata the tumhara potential bhi..aur tumne mujhe galat nahi saabit kiya Abhijeet…(in sad tone) lekin abh kya kar aaye ho tum haan?"
Abhijeet down his head again.
"main jaanta hun Abhijeet yeh sabh bahot mushkil hai tumhare liye, aisa sabh ke saath hota hai, mujhe bhi dar laga tha…(deep tone) lekin shayad tumhara dar hi alag hai Abhijeet joh tumne itna badha kadam utha liya hai…(ACP sir softly grabbed his hand) Abhijeet tum mujhse baat karte, kehte, apni problem share karte…abh itna paraya toh nahi hun na maine (Abhijeet shook his head in no) lekin tumne sidhe jaake apne liye hi mushkil khadi ki hai Abhijeet…aur mere liye bhi…(softly) abh toh batao Abhijeet baat kya hai, aise chup rehene se kuch nahi hoga…please bache.."
Abhijeet didn't say a word. ACP sir sighed and stood up when heard Abhijeet's low voice…
"sir kya aap nahi jaante baat kya kai? (he looked up and found that fatherly gaze already fixed upon him), kya woh log nahi jaante? Kya aap sabh yeh nahi jaante…(teary tone) nahi jaante ki main..main joh bhi hun sirf inn 17 saalon ke karan hun…kya aap log yeh nahi jaante ki mujhe ek aisi beemari hai jisska shayad koi ilaaj hi nahi hai..."
ACP sir silently sat on his chair again and softly said to Abhijeet… "tum beemar nahi ho Abhijeet…tum yeh baat.."
Abhijeet(teary smile)-" sir aapke keh dene se yeh sach nahi hojata hai, sabh jaante hain sir ki main…main ek aisa insaan hun jispar shayad aap 2 din ke liye bhi bharosa na kar paaye…koi responsibility na de paaye…"
ACP sir(softly again)-" lekin maine toh 17 saal se tumpar bharosa kiya hai Abhijeet…17 saal se tumhare kandhon pe apni team ka bhoj de rakha hai…"
Abhijeet(looking up at him)- "kya sir sach mein aapne mujhpar 17 saal se bharosa kiya hai?"
ACP sir looked at him in pain… "Abhijeet…"
Abhijeet(sad smile)- "nahi na sir…aur main jaanta hun sir ki yeh itna asaan bhi nahi…ek pagal, (in pain) mentally unstable aadmi par bharosa karna…koi nahi ker sakta"
ACP sir(in anger)- "ABHIJEET! (Abhijeet looked at him in pain, ACP sir continued in strong tone)- kya maine tumse kabhi yeh kaha ki Abhijeet mujhe tumpar bharosa nahi kyunki tum pagal ho? Kya maine kabhi tumse yeh kaha ki Abhijeet tumpar bharosa nahi tum mere saath kaam nahi karo, haan? (strong tone) ek baat yaad rakho Abhijeet, aaj tak jabh bhi tum kissi bhi cheez mein phase hona, maine tumpar sayad humehsa se kahin jyada bharosa kiya hai ki Abhijeet apne aap ko khud begunah saabit kar sakta hai, who sahi hai aur who yeh baat zaroor saabit kar dega...(lightly slapped him) aaj ke baad main tumhare muh se yeh ghatiya baat na sun lo, samjhe?"
Abhijeet.. "sir yahi sach…(ACP sir in anger stood up, Abhijeet in hurry) Sir please.."
ACP sir(strict tone)-" kya kaha tha maine abhi?"
Abhijeet down his head and uttered.. "sorry sir.."
ACP sir made him sit and again sat in his front and said in soft tone with a smile… "mujhe nahi pata tha Abhijeet tum itni bewakoofana baat soch rahe ho?(Abhijeet down his head in embarrassment) Kuch aur bhi hai joh abhi bhi andar hai, haina?"
Abhijeet(hesitant)- "sir..main..mujhe..(taking a deep breath) sir mujhe bas bahot dar lag raha hai…(ACP sir looked him in shock) sir pata nahi kabh kahan agar main phirse sabh kuch bhool gaya aur kuch galat…(looking at him, in convincing tone) sir aap samjhe, puri team ke upar baat aajayegi aise mein…mujhse kaheen jyada unhe suffer karna padega , CID team ke ACP ne information leak kardi? Sir team ko aur pure department ko najane kya kya sehna padega…sir pura desh khatre mein bhi padh sakta hai sirf meri wajah se…(down head) sir mujhese yeh zimmedari nahi sambhali jaayegi..mujhe bahot dar…(looking up again) sir main nahi chahta meri yeh beemari, mera yeh dar team ki kamzori bane…"
ACP sir(sighing)- "filhaal toh tumne isse apni kamzori bana liya hai Abhijeet…"
Abhijeet(in shock)- "nahi sir aisa nahi hai…yeh meri kamzori nahi hai…mujhe bas dar.."
ACP sir(softly)- "aur tumhe dar iss cheez ka hi haina ki agar tumhari yadaasht phirse chali gayi toh? (Abhijeet nodded with down head) aisa nahi hoga Abhijeet…ek baat batao kya inn 17 saalon mein tumhari yadasht phirse gayi hai (Abhijeet nodded, ACP sir in smile) aur phir wapas hi na aayi ho? (Abhijeet shocked and then really embarrassed) Abhijeet kuch chezein aisi hoti hain zindagi mein jinhe lekar hi hume apni zindagi jeeni padhti hai…hosakta hai woh takleef dein lekin tum unse alag hone ke chakkar mein shayad khudko hi khodo, toh usse behtar haiki unhe apni zindagi nahi banne do, naahi unse daro ya unhe apni kamzori banne do, bas unhe accept karlo aur aage badh jaayo…haina?"
Abhijeet nodded silently.
ACP sir in smile… "waise mujhe laga nahi tha tum itni bewakoofi wali baat sochoge, (in anger) aur phir yeh bekaar harkate bhi kar aayo ge…(Abhijeet again smiling, ACP sir relaxed but still in anger glared at him) Abhijeet."
Abhijeet(in small smile)- "sorry sir…"
ACP sir shook his head and said… "pehle bata diya hota Abhijeet, abh mujhe phir se wahan baat kerni padegi, ek toh tum jyada hi efficient ho aisa jadoo chala ke aayo hoki bas…"
Abhijeet down his head again in smile. ACP sir stood up when Abhijeet again said something to him..
"sir..woh..aap jaante haina uss case mein bhi…main..maine phirse apni yadasht..sir agar main..main Daya per goli.."
ACP sir was confused first but when he remembered the case a small lively smile came on his face and he couldn't help his small laugh.
Abhijeet looked at him and really angry on that laugh so said sternly.. "Sir…"
ACP sir looked at him and tried hard to control his smile but it became broader as he said to Abhijeet.. "sorry Abhijeet but tum tabh cute hi itne lag rahe the...(laughing now) jaante ho Daya ne toh mujhse aakar yeh tak keh diya tha ki woh tumhe ice cream nahi laake dega…"
Abhijeet embarrassed as a shy smile came on his lips which ACP sir noticed and said to him… "Abhijeet joh huya nahi hai usska sochne se koi faayda nahi hai…abh dekho tum cute bhi toh.."
Abhijeet simply glared at him and he completely shut up feeling those eyes regain their fiery charm. He just shook his head and asked about something else now…
"aur yeh Daya ko kahan phasa aaye ho tum, haan?"
Abhijeet(in smile)- "sir bas mujhe aur kuch samajh hi nahi aaya toh maine usska naam recommend kar diya…aur …aur wo ACP ban bhi jaye na sir to mjh utni hi khushi hogi jitna apne hone pey…aur waise bhi wo mujse kaam kabil nahi hey na "
ACP sir(tease)-" haan apni kulhadi usske sar daal di…"
Abhijeet smiling.
ACP sir(in smile)- "abh tayaar ho tum Abhijeet?"
Abhijeet looked at him silently and down his head. ACP sir sighed and knew Abhijeet still needed time so he suggested something else now…
"chalo kuch waqt lo, socho araam se tum, (in naughty smile) itne zara tumhe Daya ko bhi tang karne ka naya mauka mil jaaye ga…chalo aur abh (both stood up, Abhijeet confused) woh dono bahar hi khade hain, machar kha rahen honge bahot daantenge hume.."
Abhijeet(confused)-" sir lekin Daya toh Salunkhe saab ko unke ghar…"
ACP sir(smiling)- "tumne aate hua Salunkhe ki gadi dekhi thi?"
Abhijeet remembered seeing his car and just shook his head in small smile after nodding to ACP sir.
