. . .
Later that night,
Avinash's room, Marriot Palace-
All the officers return empty handed.
Vineet- "I'm sorry sir.. humne possible places talaash li…"
Sachin- "aur woh kahi nhi mili.."
Shreya- "ye jagah itni badii hai… kya karein sir?"
Salunkhe- "kuch bhi karlo bas Tarika ko dhuundlo yar! Aise haat pe haat rakh k baith jaoge kya tum log?"
Daya- "calm down sir… hum dhoondlenge tarika ko…"
Salunkhe- "kya calm down? Kahaa hogi bachhi.. kis haal mei hogi.."
Daya is worried for both Salunke and Abhi who has gone quiet ever since he heard about Tarika.
Just then there's a loud crash & a bang from outside the door…
Abhi- "lagta hai bahar koi hai.. main dekhta hu…"
And so Abhijeet goes to open the door & is shocked to see something or someone… that person too seems shocked…
Person- "uhhh.. mmm.. Abhi.. Abhijjeetttt…"
And that person faints... Abhijeet catches him/her in his arms before the person falls-
Abhi- "TARIKA.. Tarika.. aankhei kholo Tarika…"
There's no response from the lean person who fainted. But other officers, ever Avi & Naina rush to the door-
Abhi- "Doctor saab.. dekhiye na kya hua hai… kuch kijiye Salunkhe saab.. kuch kijiye.."
Salunkhe- "relax Abhijeet.. leke aao andar usey…"
And so Abhijeet lifts her up in his arms & makes her lie down on a huge bed present there…
Salunkhe checks her pulse & then her breathing-
Salunkhe- "saas lepaane mei mushkil hui hogi usey.. chehra pura peela padh gaya bacchii ka… pulse rate bhi thik nhi hai…"
Controlling his tears he rushes to fetch his bag from the hall. He then gives her an injection-
So tarika lies there unconscious and everyone is still worried..
Abhi- "sir.. woh.. woh thik tho hogii na…"
Salunkhe smiles. He's heard that Abhijeet cares for Tarika a lot.. but now is seeing it in the young man's eyes, in his words. Salunkhe brushes some of his tears and goes to console Abhijeet who's still teary-
Salunkhe- "tum aur main.. aur hum sab lucky hai. ussey koi khatra nhi hai Abhijeet…"
Abhi- "kya.. ahh! Thank god! Thank god! Nhi nhi thanks to you Salunkhe saab.."
And out of happiness Abhijeet hugs Salunkhe who hugs him back…
All- "thank god Tarika thik hai.."
Salunkhe- "ab thori der mei iseey hosh aayega boss.. bas thori hi der.. fir ye kal subah tak sojayegii.."
Acp sir- "achha..? shukar hai."
Daya- "par woh yaha aayi kaise?"
Everyone becomes serious focussing on the question that Avi asked…
Avi- "haan shukar hai woh aayi.. par kaise aayi.."
Salunkhe- "usski halat dekh kar lagtaa hai baal-baal bach k, apni jaan bachaake aayi hai…"
Acp sir- "mujhe ye chakkar kuch bhi samajh mei nhi aaraha hai.. ho kya raha hai iss mansion mei.. pehle insaan gayab hojate hai. jinki yaha shaadiyan hui woh mar jaate hai, aur ab tarika ka yeh haal…"
Abhi- "woh tho hum pata lagaa kar hi rahenge sir.. hai na?"
Acp sir- "hmm woh tho hai. aur ab sirf tarika hi bataa sakti hai ki ussk saat kya hua!"
Daya- "lekin ye sab kon kar raha hai sir…"
Acp sir- "wohii tho, kon kar raha hoga yeh sab… kon?"
Sachin- "jo bhi hai.. humse zyada din bach nhi payega…"
Acp sir- "haan sahii kaha Sachin.."
Abhi- "sahii hai sir. ab tarika ko aaram karne dete hai…"
Abhi goes to talk to Saluunkhe…
Abhi- "sir plz… main yahii ruktaa hu Tarika k saat…"
Salunkhe- "Raho na. tum nhi rahoge tho kon rahega? bacchii k choice pe shak kiya.. Galati hogayi mujhse Abhijeet. Usska khayal rakhnaa…"
Just then tarika stirs… she opens her eyes finds Abhijeet, Salunkhe sir, Sachin, rajat, purvi, Naina.. avinash…
Tarika- "mm.. mera sir.. ahh.. yeh main… kaha aagayi… a-aap sab yahaa?"
Tarika's eyes widen as she finds the whole CID team in the room… Avi and Naina are also present
Salunkhe- "relax bacchii.."
Tarika- "aap sab yaha hai ? maine sochaa aap log! aapko meri parwaa hai bhi ya nhi?"
Salunkhe- "bacchii gussa nhi karte… tabiyat tik nhi hai tumhari-"
Tarika- "main kitni pareshan hogayii thi.. kitni baar phone kia sab ko. Salunkhe sir ka fone, bureau ka number, koi mila hi nhii… sir aapne bhi. Aap tho mere dad jaise hai na?"
Abhi- "issey kyu jagaaya aapne!"

Tarika- "Aur tum Abhijeet huh? maine kitnii bar try kia tumhara phone. Tumne uthaaya kyu nhi… kahii baar switched off aata hai. bolo jawab do!"
Abhi- "arey yar yeh tho sote hi acchi lag rahi thi…"

Tarika- "has rahe hai aap sab.. huh ugh—"
She coughs n splutters…
Abhi- "arey aaram se aaraam se tarika ji. Kal subah sab samjhaa dunga na aapko.. so jayiye.."
Tarika feels dizzy but sits up stubbornly..
Tarika- "mujhe abhi jaanna hai ki kaha ho tum…"
Abhi is mum.
Daya- "tarika ab Abhijeet tho yahi tha… aur freddy sir bhi…"
Tarika- "Kyaa.."
Tarika just glares at Abhijeet n Freddy while others laugh..
Daya- "aur baaki sab bhi yahi the.."
Tarika- "Daya kya bol rahe ho tum.. main.."
Abhi- "Daya bhi na.. kuch bhi bolta hai. main- main samjhaata hu na aapko kal.. abhi aap so jao.."
Tarika- "abhi meri baat khatm nhi hui. Aap sab yahi the! Aur sab ne ye baat mujhse chupaayi… ugh! I hate you all.."
Abhi- "arey itni badi lafz mat lo ji. Dil mat todo. Chahe tho data lo, kuch v karlo… aur bataao kya karte hum, ACP sir ka hukm tha. Tho kisi ne tumse baat nhi kii.."
Daya- "haan Tarika hum sab issk liye maafi chahte hai.."

Daya coughs asking Abhijeet to stop it-
Abhi- "iseey khaasi aana rehgaya tha.."
Acp sir- "yeh sab baad mei karna Abhijeet tum. pehle ye bataao tarika tum kaha thi.. aur yaha kaise aayi?"
Tarika- "mujhe kuch thik se yaad nhi sir.."
Salunkhe- "yaad karo bacchii…"
Tarika- "sir main.. mujhe kisine behosh kardiya tha.. hum, main aur Avinash kisi ka peecha kar rahe the… Avi agey tha, main uske thik peeche.. fir.. kisi ne peeche se mera moo band karliya.. aur mujhe kuch yaad nhi… main behosh hoagyi shayad.."
Daya- "fir.."
Tarika- "thodi der mei aankh khuli tho har jagah andhera tha… aur main ek band kamrei mei thi.. sir wahaa itni badbuu thi… aur itnaa thand tha.. dum ghut raha tha mera.. mujhe laga main wohi pe dum tod dungi.,… fir main chillaane lagii kyu ki mera pair kisi se takraa gaya.. shayda kisi aadmi ka laash tha…"
Tarika- "aur bhi bohot se the sir.. main, main waha se har haal mei bahar nikalna chahti thi. Tho maine andhere mei hi darwaza tak pohoch gayi. Lekin woh darwaza band tha. Maine madad k liye chillayi. Par shayad koi mera sun v nhi paa raha tha. mera sir gumne lagaa tha… saans lena v mushkil hogaya tha. fir mera pair kisi cheez se takraa gaya.. shayad koi lever hai… aur darwaza khul gaya… aur main bhaagti hui bahar aagayi.."
Abhi- "band kamrei mei lashein…"
Acp sir- "wohi pe Tarika ko band karke maarne ki bhi koshish ki khooni ne."
Abhi- "bohot chaalak hai sir yeh khooni…"
Daya- "Tarika tumhe woh jagaa yaad hai? jaha se tum bahar nikli?"
Tarika- "thik se nhi.. andhera tha.. but main keh sakti hu ki.. woh jagah mobile tower se zyada duur nhi hai…"
Abhi- "mobile tower se zyada duur nhi… hmmm ab dekhte hai ki khooni kab tak bach k rahega humse! Humare haat mei tho usey aana hi hai.ab kya karei sir?"
ACP sir- "Abhijeet… CID yaha hai isski khabar kisi ko nhi honi chahiye. Avinash, Naina… kisi ko bhi mat bataana ki CID yaha hai, bhes badal kar… chalo subah tak apni apni bhes badal lo…"
Abhi- "OK sir.."
ACP sir- "hum chalte hai Tarika… tum aaram karo…"
Avi- "thank god Taru tu thik hai…"
Naina- "haa yar hum tho dar hi gaye…"
Tarika- "ab main thik hu… lekin ye kya aap bhes badal k.. kya.. main.. samjhii nhi…"
Sleep overtakes her and she dozes off falling back with a small thud…
Naina- "ye sogayi… but we are glad ki ye thik hai…"
Avi- "issey aaram ki zarurat hai…"
Avinash & naina caress Tarika's hair… n smile.
Abhi- (to Salunkhe) "sir aap rukiye na yaha."
Salunkhe- "tum ho na Abhijeet… I'm sure tum bacchii ka acche se dhyan rakhoge. Hum sab hotel mei rahenge. Kuch chahiye tho phone karna.."
Abhi- "OK sir kyu nhi… aap bhi apna khayal rakhna. good nyt.."
So all others leave the mansion in a stealthy way just as how they entered…. Rajvi, Dareya, Nikhil, Abhijeet, Freddy stay back-
Avi- "sir tarika ko yahii sone dijiye.. main Tarika k kamre mei jaata hu.."
Naina- "aur main mom k yaha so jaungii.. kuch chahiye tho bulaalena.."
Abhi- "haa haan kyu nhi.. aap log jao.."
Naina- "gd nyt sir.."
Abhi- "hmm"
So all leave… Abhi goes to sit on the bed where tarika's sleeping…
He holds her hand and begins to talk-
Abhi- "Tarika ji. Aapka gussa jayez hai. bilkul sahii hai aap apni jaga. Par kya karta main? ACP sir ka order tha tho mobile off kardiya…"
*brushes her hair*
Abhi- "aapko pata hai.. kitna mushkil tha.. aapk saamne Dadaji banke rehnaa.. har waqt aapko dekhna lekin baat na karpaana… kitna mushkil tha.. ye sirf mera dil hi jaanta hai… aur uss din aapne jo kahaa mere bare mei.."
*covers her sleeping form with a blanket & sits again*
*takes her hand into his*
Abhi- "main itna v accha insaan nhi hu Tarika ji… jitna aap mujhe samjhti hai. agar hota tho aapko itne din intezaar nhi karwaata. but haan jitnaa yaad hai koi bura kaam nhi kia maine. Aur agey se karunga bhi nhi. Apni Galati sudhaarunga main I promise. Aur aapko gussa bilkul nhi dilaunga main… bilkul nhi. Kabhi nhi…"
*kisses her hand*
Abhi- "ab tak sirf mera dil jaanta hai main aapse kitnaa pyar karta hu. Haan aap bhi jaanti hogi… maana ki maine directly kahaa nhi aapse. Lekin ab.. ab puri duniya jaanegi.. ki Abhi Tarika se kitnaa pyar karta hai.."
*kisses her hand again and pats her hair*
She stirs.. and he continues patting her hair adoring her-
Abhi- "I love you Tarika ji… I love you so muchhh, aap soch bhi nhi sakti utnaa zyada pyar karta hu aapse-"
He kisses her forehead… and leans back against the bed, still holding her hand.. and somewhere at some point of time he too dozes off while sitting like tha…
