Chapter 2
!A CUP OF LOVE!
CONTINUED FROM THE PREVIOUS;
Daya picked up the photograph and was shocked.
Daya-" yeh kya h?"
Abhijeet came from behind and said-" kya hua?"
Daya-" yeh…" And he showed abhijeet the photograph.
Abhijeet (stunned)-" yeh kya h?"
Daya-" mujhe kya pata… mai toh khud hi soch raha hu ki yeh kya h… aur kaise?"
Abhijeet-" issilye…"
Daya-" issiliye kya?"
Abhijeet-" issiliye shreya tumhari ID check kar rahi thi aur tumhe ajeeb tarah se dekh rahi thi…"
Daya-" par yaar mai toh usse kal hi mila tha… phir yeh…"
Abhijeet-" kal shreya se pooch lena…"
Daya-" poochna toh padega hi…"
Saying this, duo left for their house.
AT SHREYA'S RESIDENCE;
Shreya reached her house and went towards her room. She took a photo frame which was lying on the table beside the bed and sat on the bed.
Shreya (while looking at the photograph)-" kyu kar rahe ho tum aisa? Jitna tumhe bhoolna chah rahi hu… utna hi tum mere qareeb aa rahe ho… kyu nai chale jaate meri zindagi se… itni mushkil se khud ko samhaala tha aur aaj phir se mera ateet mere saamne aa gaya… ( crying)… kyu?"
She started crying badly and don't know when she slept.
NEXT MORNING: AT DUO'S HOUSE;
Abhijeet got ready and went in daya's room and saw that he was starting that photograph while sitting on his bed.
Abhijeet-" daya…"
No response.
Abhijeet came towards him and shaked him a bit while saying-" daya…"
Daya-" huh… haan abhijeet… kya hua?"
Abhijeet-" tumhe kya hua?"
Daya (trying to be normal)-" kuch nai…"
Abhijeet gave him a ' you can't hide it from me' look and daya said-" mai iss photo ke baare mei soch raha tha…"
Abhijeet-" daya… jo bhi h aaj tum shreya se pooch lena…"
Daya-" kaise? Yaar ho sakta h ki use takleef ho…"
Abhijeet-" par sach janna bhi toh zaroori h…"
Daya-" haan… yeh bhi h…"
Abhijeet-" ab chalo… warna late ho jaenge…"
Daya-" theek h… chalo…"
Duo left for the bureau.
AT THE BUREAU;
Everyone reached bureau and set to their work except daya. Daya was thinking how to ask shreya about the photograph.
Suddenly he heard a voice-" daya sir…"
Daya looked up and saw shreya.
Daya-" haan shreya…"
Shreya (not making any eye-contact)-" sir yeh file complete ho gayi h…"
Daya-" haan theek h… do…"
Daya took the file and shreya turned to go when daya said-" shreya…"
Shreya (turning)-" yes sir…"
Daya-" tumse kuch poochna h…"
Shreya (looking down)-" poochiye sir…"
Daya got up and before he could say anything, nikhil came and said-" sir ek case report hua h…"
Daya sighed and said-" theek h chalo…"
They all went to the crime spot and after sending the body to forensic lab and doing some investigation, they all came back to bureau.
AFTERNOON;
It was lunch time and everyone went towards cafeteria. Shreya was about to go when daya came towards her and said-" shreya…"
Shreya-" yes sir…"
Daya-" tumhara kal kuch yaha reh gaya tha…"
Shreya (confused)-" kya sir?"
Daya took out a photograph and showed it to shreya while saying-" yeh…"
Shreya looked at the photograph shocked and then at daya and the next second she looked down. It was the photo of daya and shreya while smiling and side- hugging each other.
Daya-" kya mai jaan sakta hu ki yeh kya h…"
Shreya looked up and said-" sir yeh photo mujhe waapas kar dijiye…"
Daya-" pehle yeh batao ki meri photo aur woh bhi aise jiske baare mei mai kuch nai jaanta… tumhare paas kaise…"
Shreya-" yeh aapki photo nai h sir…"
Daya (stunned)-" what? Phir kiski photo h yeh…"
Shreya (teary)-" please sir… photo mujhe waapas kar dijiye…"
Daya hels her arm tightly and said-" nai… pehle batao ki yeh kiski photo h…"
Shreya jerked his hand and and said loudly-" yeh ronit ki photo h… mera fiancé jiski pichle saal car accident mei maut ho gayi thi… "
Daya (shocked)-" kya?"
Shreya-" haan sir… jab pehle maine aapko dekha toh mujhe laga ki mera ronit waapas aa gaya h… shaayad woh uss accident mei bach gaya ho… par jab kal maine aapki ID check ki… aur mujhe pata chala ki aap ronit nai h… (crying)… mai phir se tut gayi…"
Saying this, she took the photo and went towards the washroom crying.
Daya was still in the shock not knowing how to react. Abhijeet came and saw daya like this.
Abhijeet-" kya hua?"
Daya-" kuch nai…"
Abhijeet came towards him and kept his hand on daya's shoulder and said-" daya…"
Daya-" abhijeet mujhe nai pata tha ki mai kisi ke rone ka kaaran ban sakta hu…"
Abhijeet-" matlab…"
Daya told everything to abhijeet after listening to which abhijeet too was shocked beyond words.
Abhijeet-" yeh kaise ho sakta h yaar…"
Daya-" yeh hua h yaar… jaane anjaane meri wajah se shreya ko takleef hui h…"
Abhijeet-" ismei teri kya galti yaar…"
Daya-" par pata nai kyu abhijeet… mujhe nai achcha lag raha tha jab shreya ro rahi thi… uska gham… sab meri wajah se… na mai usse photo ke baare mei poochta aur na hi yeh sab hota…"
Abhijeet-" relax daya… sab theek ho jaega…"
Daya-" shaayad…"
Lunch time was over and everyone set back to work. Shreya was working on her computer but daya could see her red eyes.
Daya's POV-' mujhe shreya se baat kani hogi… par kaise'
Abhijeet looked at daya and understood his situation. He went towards shreya and said-" shreya…"
Shreya quickly wiped her tears and said-" yes sir…"
Abhijeet gave her a file and said-" please isse store room mei rakh do…"
Shreya-" sure sir…"
She took the file and went towards the store room.
Abhijeet went towards daya and said-" jaa ke shreya se baat kar lo… woh store room mei h…"
Daya looked at abhijeet and before he could say anything abhijeet said-" baad mei bataunga… pehle jao…"
Daya went towards the store room and saw shreya was keeping a file. She turned and was shocked to see daya.
Shreya-" daya sir… aap"
Daya came towards her and said-" I'm sorry…"
Shreya (confused)-" kisliye sir…"
Daya-" anjaane mei hi sahi… par meri wajah se tumhe takleef hui h… "
Shreya-" sir ismei aapki koi galti nai h… in fact I'm sorry sir… shaayad maine hi kuch zyada bol diya…"
Daya-" nai shreya… mujhe pata h ki jab kisi ko uska ateet yaad aata h… toh kitni takleef hoti h…"
Shreya-" matlab sir.."
Daya-" matlab mai bhi ek ladki se pyaar karta tha… bahut pyaar karta tha usse par…" daya was not able to say further.
Shreya-" I'm sorry sir…"
Daya smiled fakely and said-" it's okay… ab chalein yaha se…"
Shreya-" theek h sir…"
They both came out of the store room and went inside the bureau.
Days passed like this but dareya talk very little with each other. One day, a case was reported and duo, shreya, nikhil and purvi went towards the crime scene.
Abhijeet-" nikhil, tum body ko check karo koi identity milti h ki nai aur phir isse forensic lab bhej dena.. tab tak hum aas pass poochte h…"
Nikhil started to check the body and all of them went to different directions to search.
AFTER SOMETIME;
All came back and abhijeet said-" yaar kuch pata nai chala…"
Daya-" sahi kaha boss, iss taraf bhi kuch nai…"
Purvi-" aur sir waha bhi kuch pata nai chala…"
Daya-" ek minute, yeh shreya kaha h…"
Abhijeet-" haan yaar shreya kaha gayi…"
Nikhil-" sir shaayad usse kuch mila ho… toh udhar side hi gayi ho…"
Abhijeet-" chalo dekhte h…"
They all went to the direction where shreya went. They searched every corned but shreya was not there.
Purvi-" sir yaha toh kuch bhi aisa nai h jisse shreya ka pata chale…"
Daya dialed shreya's number but the sound was coming from somewhere around them.
Daya-" phone ki ghanti toh yahi kahi se sunai de rahi h… dekho aas paas."
They searched and daya found the phone of shreya and saw that the wallpaper of her phone was his… sorry ronit's photo.
Abhijeet-" phone mila…"
Daya-" haan… shreya bhi yahi kahi hogi…"
They searched but were not able to find shreya.
Abhijeet-" ek kaam karte h… bureau chalte h aur saare khabriyo ko inform karte h… kuch na kuch pata chal jaega…"
They went back towards bureau and tried to find about shreya. Don't know why but daya was very tensed.
Abhijeet-" daya sab theek ho jaega yaar… shreya mil jaegi…"
Daya-" pata nai kyu abhijeet… par bahut ghabraahat ho rahi h…"
Before abhijeet could say anything watchman came and said-" sahib…"
ACP sir-" kya hua?"
Watchman-" yeh parcel…"
ACP sir-" kisne diya…"
Watchman-" postman aaya tha…"
ACP sir-" achcha theek h tum jao…"
ACP sir opened the parcel and saw a CD.
ACP sir-" CD… freddy chaloa isse…"
Freddy-" yes sir…"
Freddy played the CD and all were shocked to see the footage.
Shreya was lying on a chair in a sub-conscious state and was tied with ropes. A person wearing mask came and said-" hello ACP sir… kaise h aap.. jaise bhi honge magar iss CD ko dekhne ke baad toh… khair mai bas aapko yeh batana chahta tha ki aap abhi jis case pe kaam kar rahe h usse band kar dijiye warna mai iss CID officer ko humesha humesha ke liye upar pahucha dunga…"
Shreya (in sub- conscious state)-" sir aa.. aap… iski baat mat… suniye… aur me… meri chinta mat.. kariye… mujhe k…kuch…nai… hoga…"
The man slapped shreya hard and she got unconscious.
Man-" sirf 12 ghante h aap sabke paas… agar case band nai kiya… toh iski saza… iss ladki ko milegi…"
Footage ended and everyone was too shocked to react.
Abhijeet-" sir… ab kya karein?"
Daya-" karna kya h… case band kar denge…"
ACP sir-" nai…"
Daya was shocked-" kya sir…"
ACP sir-" case band nai hoga…"
Daya-" par sir shreya… agar humei case band nai kiya toh…"
ACP sir-" toh ek imaandaar CID officer shaheed ho jaegi… par case band nai hoga…"
Saying this, ACP sir went from there and daya was shocked.
Abhijeet-" daya…"
Daya-" abhijeet… ACP sir aisa kaise keh sakte h…agar shreya ko kuch ho gaya toh…"
Abhijeet-" kuch nai hoga shreya ko… ek baar phir se footage check karte h… kuch toh milega…."
Daya-" theek h…"
They went to see the footage again…
