HAVE A HAPPY READING…

2 Days Later

A brand new gray colored Wagner car was running smoothly through a deserted road of Mahim at late night, almost 1 A.M. A beautiful fairy was at driving seat humming some romantic song slowly. Suddenly her wrist watch vibrated a little and she sat straight. Her beautiful eyes were glittered like anything.

Someone from back seat whispered… feeling ok Purvi?

She replied confidently in a whisker… Sir!

Best of luck. Just try to trap them. Whisper stopped and a repeated knocking sound she heard from car's dikky.

Plastering an unknown burning smirk she sped up her car and halted after sometime as found some tree logs on the middle of road as expected!

Unknowingly she felt her service revolver in her boot and pressed the dial of her watch.

Some shadows appeared on street and surrounded her car wearing masks.

She maintained her tough expression and observed all… more than 10 were they.

Someone knocked at window and she lowered it purposely. Within a second gas filled inside and Purvi went unconscious or pretended to be, who knew!

Goons opened car lock and brought her with them to a nearby parked truck in darkness.

Backside of the truck was fully covered by thick black curtains. Inside of it was looking like a small sized operation theater! A slim little more heighted than as usual medium lady in nurse costume waited for them. She settled her on bed with the help of goons.

One of them whispered… zaldi kar. Madam ko bula. Kahin police ka chapa marne wala van na pahauch jayen idhar kaam hone se pahele!

Nurse nodded her head and dialed someone.

On the other side, Wagner car's dikky opened slowly and a well-built black dressed man came out cautiously. He did a particular sound and lifting back seat a slim same dressed person came out from special lower drawer under the seat!

They signaled someone in darkness and within a moment a group of armed man slowly and silently started to cover the surroundings.

Here after the goons' departure the nurse at first sprinkled some water on Purvi's face and patted her cheek. Purvi opened her eyelashes with an effort and smiled little. Main thik hoon Muskaan mam, pahele se aise hone ka andaza tha… sans rokke rakhi thi iss liye.

Muskaan smiled behind her musk and nodded in appreciation.

Suddenly a glove and mask worn lady entered opening back curtain door and Purvi again lied motionless.

Lady to nurse: zaldi ready karo ise. Aab tak kar kya rahe the… haan? She sounded irritated. Tumhe pata nehi, kitna strict checking chal raha sahar me? Aab kisi ko shak ho gaya kisi tarha se aur CID aa gayi idhar…. Main toh barbaad ho jaungi.

Barbaad tumhe wayse bhi hona. Nurse AKA Muskaan threatened her.

Lady shocked like hell. Kaun ho tum? She took a back step.

Now Purvi also got up from stretcher pulling out her revolver…. Khooni khel khatam tumhara Mrs Arnav!

Kaun… kaun ho tum log? Aur Priya kaha hain? Tadhkaaaa… Prataaaap…. Ranjeeeeeeet…. She shouted for help.

Koi nehi ayega madam. Ek toh garibon ko madat ke naam drug ka dhanda karte ho, aab organ smuggling ka business bhi! Muskaan gave her a tight slap and she fell on ground.

Back curtain of truck completely removed and Rajat and Daya along with some more armed man jumped there.

Rajat: oh ho! R. Goyenka Charity Trust ka present owner Goyenka family se…. Pati ka karza chukane ke liye kitni aram se drug ke dhande me aa gaye aap!

He turned at Daya. Yahi hain sir, R. Goyenka ke bahu. Unka pota Arnav Goyenka ki patni.

Apna surgeon hone ka fayda utha ke aam logo ke organ ka business bhi chalu! Ek ke baad ek khoon! Sirf drug se dhanda jama nehi kya? Daya teased.

The lady was fuming in anger. Tum do kouri ke police wale mera kuch nehi bigar sakte… main kaun hoon tum jante nehi… she raised her voice. Abhi main apna lawyer ko bulati hoon.

Purvi grabbed her harshly. Haan hume sach me pata nehi tha…. payson ke lalach me koi itna bhi gir sakta ke…. Bina hath kaape ek ke baad ek khoon kiye jaa sakta hain! Ek lachar masoom saat saal ki bachhi tak ko nehi chora! She slapped her again… aab jail me baythke lawyer se baat karna… dhamki mat do hume….

Daya ordered her to bring CID Bureau and other of her helpers also dragged there.

..

..

After some special treatment by Muskaan and Purvi in Bureau lastly the lady opened her mouth…. Haan kiya maine khoon. She shouted.

Muskaan threatened her. Puri kahani… sidhi tarha se…

And the camera trio… one for CID, one from Narcotics and rest from Crime Branch started rolling while recording her confession….

R. Goyenka ke beta yani mere shasur jee bahat nek iradon se woh hospital khole the. Aur bhi kaii sare charity work se yeh trust jura hua tha. Achha family… sanashkari log dekh ke mere gharwale iss family me meri shadi karwaye.

Mujhe videsh me job offer mila tha… main apne family ki kehne par sab chor ke Arnav se shadi kar li kiun ki payson se jada ehmiyat izzat ka tha mere Maa-Baap ke liye. Aur woh izzat, society me woh reputation Goyenka family me shadi karne se mujhe milta, mere family ko milta.

Mere shasur jee jab tak zinda the, tab tak sab sahi chal raha tha. Phir unke dehant ke baad Arnav baap-dada ke payso se aiyashi me beh gaya. Bahat karza tha uska market me. Drug, sharab, jua, ladhki sab tarha ka ghatiya adat lag gaya tha. Pachas ke umar me yeh drug overdose ke wajah se mar gaya.

Arnav ke maut ke baad uska karnaama jab mere family ko pata chala, sab mujhse sare rishte-nate tod diye. Unn sab ko lagta tha… meri wajah se Arnav beh gaya! Main Arnav ko rok nehi payi!

She inhaled deep for a moment. Mujhe payson ka zaroorat tha. Trustee board ka members sare hume legal notice pakdha diye. Kab se main bhag bhag ke rahe rahi thi Arnav ke maut ke baad se… market me itna karza… kahan jaun main, kayse jiun baki ki zindegi? Arnav kis kis se na udhar leke rakha tha…. kitne sare gundon se uska taluk tha.

ANK gangwale mujhe blackmail kar ke apna dhande me laga diya. Meri eklauti beti ko bhi marne ki dhamki de rakha tha unn logo ne. Main dar ke mare apni beti ko foreign bhej diya. Udhar bhi gang ka nazar uske upar rehta tha. Main majboor ho gayi. Lekin jitna bhi profit hota tha… sab woh log kha jata tha. Risk main loon sab aur paisa khayen woh?

Suddenly she looked up. Isi liye main organ bechne ka kaam shuru kiya. Barsho pahele main practice chor di. Kisi ko Mumbai me pata bhi nehi tha mere doctor hone ki baat. Iska fayda uthake main lag gayi kaam pe.

Shikar kayse chunte the tum? Purvi asked her strictly.

Shikar? Lady laughed. Humara koi khas plan shuru se hi nehi tha. Kiun ki yeh organ trafficking ka dhanda main ANK gang se chupake kar rahi thi. Iss liye professional logo se plan nehi bana payen hum. Kuch gine chune mere kuch khas admi ko isme shamil kar liya main.

Hum hospital me yeh risk nehi le sakte baki ke trustee ke wajah se. Hume ek all India organ supply gang se order milta tha iss kaam ka.

Pahele humne socha highway pe track karen logo ko. Aise hi highway me gariyan sath sath chalti kaam. Har ek gari 100km ke aaspass chalti hain. Koi mushibat me padhe bhi, dusre gari ki nazar me sayad na bhi aa sakta hain. Witness milna bahat muskil. Lekin uss jewelry shop ka manager ke khoon ke baad police paglon ke tarha har ek highway pe red alert laga diya. Phir hume plan change karna padha. She paused.

Abhijeet: phir? Woh college ke bachho ko kiun chuna tum?

Lady: wo dono ko hum chunne pe majboor the. Ek sath do shikar mila hume pahele… rokra achha aaya tha. Phir se order mila hume raat-o-raat. Lekin sahar me… woh kya kehta hain aap log, she looked at cops… haan… khabri. Apka sab khabri log lag gaya tha kaam pe.

Hume assignment pura karna hi tha kisi bhi haal pe. Wayse me uss bandh factory ke pass hume unn dono ka khabar mila. Saalon bandh padha woh factory… khas kisi ka nazar nehi tha. Sab hospitals pe pahele dhyan diye the. Humne kaam kar liya humara.

Phir woh footpath ki bachhi… uska bhi waysa hi…. rokra ke lalach. Humne socha aise bachhe jiye yah mare, kisi ko kya aa jayega? She made a disgusted face. Wayse bhi iss tarha ke bachhe society ka bojh hi hota hain.

Daya cut him suddenly turning very hyper. Zaban sambhal kar baat karo Mrs. Arnav. He clinched his fists in uncontrollable anger. Bachho ke bare me aisa ghatiya kehte hue tumhe sharam nehi aati? Bachhe kabhi bojh nehi hote, bojh toh tum jaise janwaar hote ho, jise payson ke aage kuch bhi nehi dikhta aur duniya me.

Woh joh Aakash aur Smriti ki khoon kar diya tum logo ne, kabhi socha iske baad unke bachho ka kya hoga? Agar rishtedaar na rehta, aa jata nah woh bachhe sadak pe? Ek bachha kis halat me aise dardnak bachpan bitane pe majboor ho sakta hain, kuch andaza bhi hain tumhe? He shouted loud.

Abhijeet hardly pressed his brother's wrist to calm him down avoiding all glances and sensing his outburst Daya stopped looking at his father figure's calm face.

The lady stopped for a micro second looking downward. Aur phir woh kaun physical instructor. Hume kayse bhi order supply karna hi tha. Dead line nikalne wala tha. Pahele ka teen assignment hum before time pahauchake achha naam kamaye. Main apna reputation kharab nehi karna chahti thi.

Reputation! Ek khooni ka reputation! Rajat jerked his head in sheer frustration.

Uss area me police ka talashi thora halka tha. Hum fayda utha liya. Wayse bhi woh residential ilaka tha toh police ka utna shak bhi nehi hua. Sab sahi chal raha tha. Full proof plan kabhi humara tha hi nehi. Phir bhi hum aram se police ko chakma dete gaye.

ACP Pradyuman sighed. Yeh over confidence hi tumhe pakdha diya.

Lady: pata nehi aaj kayse sab gadbad ho gaya. Main kisi ko nehi batati thi pahele se operation kahan hone wala hain. Woh organ smuggling racket ke sath direct dealing main akeli karti thi. Sara order aur maal ka delivery main khud dekhti thi. Operation ke kuch do ghanta pahele idhar baki sab ko khabar milta tha. Phir bhi aaj na jane….

Purvi ignored her blabbring. Usi truck ko kiun chuna tumne? Aur accident ka natak rachane ka bhi kya zaroorat tha?

Lady smiled ruefully. Woh truck humara organization ka hain madam. Kidnapping ke baad har ek shikar ke gari ko dhakka marte the ta ki lage normal accident hain, police ko organ gayab hone ka pata chalte chalte sare log underground ho jata tha.

Hum nakli number plate ka istemaal karte the aur mere admiyon ne samne ka hissa khud se change kar deta tha bina kisi garage me jaa ke. Phir aam kamon ke liye use hota tha yeh truck.

Hum koi risk nehi lena chahte the. Kahin pe settled operation theater bana ke kaam karte hum, pakdhe jane ka chance tha… lekin aise mobile van pe…. Koi soch bhi nehi sakta tha. Aur color, design truck ka itna common hain, shak karne jaisa kuch tha nehi.

She looked at some indefinite direction. Police wale humare trust ka office pe bhi aaye the… lekin unhe pata bhi nehi chala yeh wohi truck hain.

Rajat cut her. Yeh apka galatfaymi hain madam. Hum joh hain woh dusron ko dikhta nehi agar hum na chahe toh!

The lady looked up with open mouth in shock. Matlab police ko pata chal gaya tha sab? She uttered in disbelief.

Rajat threw a mysterious smile in reply. Aage?

Hum khoon ke turant baad uske andar se sab kuch hata lete the. She continued in low tone. Medical portion main humara hospital ka nurse Priya ki madat se karti thi. Use payson ka shakt zaroorat tha… isi liye usko jhat se phansa liya maine. Baki ka toh aise hi gunde-mawali log hain.

ACP Pradyuman bent a bit towards her. Lekin afshosh! Iss baar tumhare woh gunde-mawali sathi hi tumhe pakdha diya.

Lady shocked again: kya?

Muskaan confidently: haan. Jis din CID ko pata chala Tadhka hain iss sab me mila hua…. Aur jab use Daya sir se khatirdari mila… She gave a proud look to her senior…. woh toh tote ki tarha bolne laga. Phir tum plan banate gaye… hume khabar milta gaya. Bas hume tumhe red handed pakadhna tha… toh kuch din wait karna padha. Aab tak toh tumhare ghar ka khufiyan kamre me se hume tumhara sara drug ka assignment bhi mil gaya.

Tum phikar mat karo Mrs. Arnav. Abhi toh serial killing aur illegal organ trafficking ke case me tum CID ka mehmaan ho. Kuch din baad…. Crime Brach aur Narcotics ka joint mission me tumhe hum aur bhi kahin ghumane le jayenge… ANK gang se taluk rakhne ke khushi me. Baki ka zindegi tumhara jail me sadhna toh pakka hain doctor! She chuckled.

Lekin meri beti? The brain behind the serial killing cried out suddenly. Agar gang ke admiyon ne use kuch kar diya toh? She started weeping.

Boss main bahar jaa raha hoon. Iska yeh magarmach ke anshuyon se mera khoon khaul uth raha raha hain. Daya stormed outside with hatred in his voice for the criminal getting due permission from his head and eyeing at his buddy.

Apke beti ko sahi salamat desh wapas lane ki procedure start ho gaya already. Aap khooni hain, iska matlab yeh toh nehi…. hum apki begunah beti pe koi khatra aane de! Rajat delivered his speech professionally.

Constables took her to special CID shell and Sachin and Freddie got busy to record other's statement.

Next Day

CID Bureau was filled with carefree laughter and chaos. Sometimes… dekh Pankaaaaajjj… ye mera kaju barfi hain….

Nehi Daya sir aur nehi please please aur nehi khaya jayega sir. Abhijeet sir aap rokiya na Daya sir ko…..

Sir ek selfie ho jayen….

Like so many light comments were on air of this serious prestigious building.

A man was at doorstep and observing all… when he got the matter none noticed him actually, he cleared his throat making sound and everyone's attention changed.

But the faces were not looking so much happy seeing the new-comer.

Ignoring all teasing glance new comer entered and stood at the middle. Haan toh Pradyuman, case solve kar hi liya tum log?

ACP Pradyuman stepped forward. Jee DCP sir, humne case solve kar liya. He gave a proud look to his army….

DCP Chitrole, plainly: oh! Khooni bhi pakdha gaya?

ACP Pradyuman, plainly: jee sir. Main apko sham tak report submit karta hoon.

DCP Chitrole: hmm. Yeh bhi solve! He sounded low.

Muskaan whispered in Daya's ears: aab bhi DCP sir waysa ke waysa hi hain! Kabhi toh khush hone ka koshish kar sakte! Akhir credit toh unhe bhi milega! Joint press meet me CID se wohi toh honge.

Daya replied in same volume: adat se majboor!

Suddenly noticing two faces, DCP Chitrole moved towards them. Oh! Tum dono bhi… aaye ho.

He turned to rest.

Sab aaya hain… purane officers ke sath party manaya jaa raha hain. Mujhe hi sab bhul gaye tum log!

Rajat quickly forwarded his hand… hello sir!

Hello hi hote rahega Sr. Insp. Rajat aur… he changed his focus, Insp. Muskaan.

Hmm… woh kya hain nah…. he paused. CID ko case solve karne me Crime Branch aur Narcotics ne bahat madat ki. He scanned all his juniors' face with a smirk.

Main ihan tum dono ko pure CID team ke orh se officially thank you kehna aaya tha, iss pechida case me humare madat karne ke liye aur akhir tak sath dene ke liye. DCP Chitrole handed over two sealed envelopes both of them. Thank you officers.

Nehi sir aisi koi baat nehi. Drug dealing ke sath sath ANK gang ka joh human trafficking ka business hain, usi silsile me hum bahat dino se iske piche the. Humare pass Mrs. Arnav hi ek aisi kadhi thi, jiske zariye hum uss gang tak pahauch pate. Rajat blurted out.

Aur hum iss gang ka drug racket ke piche. Muskaan started. Dekhte dekhte sara teer Mrs. Arnav ko nishana bana liya aur humara teeno wings ka ek hi maksad ban gaya.

Haan… CID ko tum logo se madat milke asani hi ho gaya case solve karne me. Achha hua, pakdha gaya woh lady. DCP Chitrole shrugged. Pata nehi warna aur kitne masoom logo ka jaan le leta!

Muskaan and Rajat gave an awkward smile in reply. Thank you sir hume apna purana team ko madat karne ka mauka dene ke liye. Hume phir se CID ke sath kaam kar ke bahat achha laga.

Khayr koi baat nehi. Achha hi hain… mera bhi naam hua. The Deputy Commissioner of Police (CID) swung his head and turned to Muskaan and Rajat. Humara karwahi jaise hi khatam hota hum inn sab ko tumhare hathon saup denge.

ACP Pradyuman: sure sir. Charge sheet file karenge hum iss sab ke khilaf jitna zaldi ho sake… aur phir…

DCP Chitrole cut him. Haan haan thik hain. Shunao mat. Mujhe bhi khushi hui tum log akhir me case solve kar liye. Jada shunao mat mujhe. Huhh! Bada toh ek serial killer ko pakdha… shuna hi raha hain tab se! He moved from there.

All and sundry broke into a laughter burst.

ACP Pradyuman also greeted his former team members once again. Tum dono ke help bina yeh case itna zaldi solve nehi ho pata.

Abhijeet patted Rajat's back. Haan Rajat. Tum jaise uss din Daya ko Arnav ke patni ki surgeon hone ke bare me information diye…

Pankaj cut his senior in a jiffy. Lekin sir abhi tak mere samajh me nehi aaya, apko kaise pata chala Rajat sir khas information dene ke liye call kiye the? He was really surprised. Aap toh unhe mere samne dobara phone lagaye aur stamp collector ka pata pucha, bas…. Phir apne itna plan banaye hi kab!

Freddie tapped his shoulder while laughing. Aare Pankaj, tu join kiya kuch hi saal hua hain. Aur jinse puch raha hain unhone duty karte karte apna pachas ka umar me pahauchenge kuch saal me. Yeh sab sir ka secret hain. Haan! He made a funny face.

Rajat also joined Freddie. Haan Pankaj, kuch secret hain. He smiled little. Idhar jab posting tha, bahat kuch shikhne ko mila hume. Aab bas usi se kaam chala leta hoon. He smiled big looking at Abhijeet who was also smiling naughtily looking at Pankaj's confused gaze.

Haan… tumhare Daya sir aur Abhijeet sir ka code language communication kabhi kabhi mujhe bhi uljha deta hain. ACP Pradyuman chuckled giving a proud teasing glair to his both strong pillars obviously made them embarrassed.

Kya sir! Daya protested shyly.

Aap bhi toh sir bina back up ke itna risk le ke Delhi aaye the. ANK gang ko chakma dena asan nehi sir. Muskaan smiled looking at Abhijeet.

Abhijeet smiled softly: yeh humara farz hain Muskaan. Ek dusre ko madat kiye bina desh se jurm hum mitayenge kayse? Aur sach kahun toh asli haqdaar sare tariff ki Purvi hain.

All smiled proudly looking at Purvi's rosy pink cheeks. Usne himmat na dikhayi hoti, hum yeh gang ko pakadh nehi pate. Uske jagah hum kisi aam junior yah phir constable ko plant nehi kar sakte, risk toh asli usi ka tha.

But still there were some confusion in Pankaj's mind. Phir bhi sir, bataiye nah… Rajat sir bas ek phone ghumaye stamp collector ka pata batake. Woh jagah toh Gateway of India tha bhi nehi. Phir bhi Daya sir kayse udhar pahauch gaye aur Rajat sir bhi! He whispered in Freddie's ears.

Kuch baaten secret rehna achha hota hain Pankaj. Daya lightly whispered from his back. Khatarnak gang se muqable ke liye humare pass bahat sare khufiyan rashta hota hain. Bas ek chotasa rashta usi me se hum azmayen iss baar. Tum apne dimag pe itna zor mat dalo. Waqt aane pe sab pata chal jayega tumhe bhi!

Freddie supported his Daya sir. Haan Pankaj itna jada soch mat.

ACP Pradyuman was well noticing his junior most members' confused gaze, now reached at him.

He pointed to the gatherings where Abhijeet, Rajat, Muskaan, Purvi and Sachin were enjoying some delicious foods in the name of celebration of solving the case plus a type of reunion and now Daya and Freddie also joined them.

Iss sab ko dekh rahe ho, ek din me yeh log aaj ke jaisa bana nehi. Saalon ki mehnat aur lagan hain sab ke piche. Tumhare jaysa jab yeh sab junior tha…. sub-inspectors, trainee…. Tum jaysa nasib inn me se kisi ka nehi tha. Tab ka senior log bahat strict hua karte the… Bureau ka yeh mahaul bhi nehi tha tab.

Follow them. Aisi bahat si raaz hain, tum bhi samajh jaoge. Aur jab samajh jaoge, samajhna tum ek achha cop ban gaye go, warna tab tak sikhte raho. He stood with a plain face inserting his hands inside his formal trousers pocket.

Purvi noticed Pankaj's long face far from them. She called him loud…. Pankaaaajjjj….. Freddie sir sare Kaju Barfi finish kar rahe hain. Aur dekh aab toh Daya sir bhi. Aa jaa, warna….

Pankaj jerked his head and after getting permission from his head just flanged into kept aside all his earlier thoughts…. And a fun fight began…. Again…..!

ACP Pradyuman nodded his head in disappointment and moved towards his cabin….

Someone asked for his permission from behind… sirrr…. Aab toh… Facebook!

Uffff…. The strict head of CID frowned but noticing the speaker's innocent face…. his eyes turned too much furious….. Salunkheeee! Tu bhiiii! Tu bhi inn sab ke sath… main tera sir! Aa dikhata hoon tujhe…. A shocking scream echoed in Bureau followed by a low vibration of laughter.
