Buereau

Rajat walks in still thinking about the way Purvi threathened him.

Rajat (thinking): kya kar sakti hai woh? He dismisses the thought..he smiles to himself..kuch nahi kar sakti hai woh..

Freddy: sir..sirrrrr..he touches his shoulder.

Rajat: kya? Kya hua freddy?

Freddy: sir..aaj meri biwi ne sab ke liye lunch banaake bheja hai..aap..aap khayenge?

Rajat: nahi..bhoookh nahi hai..

Freddy (smile): khaa lijiye naa sir..kal ye sab mile naa mile..

Rajat (shock): kya? Kya kaha tumne?

Freddy: mera matlab..aaj meri biwi ne sach much bahut tasty khaana banaaya hai..roj roj toh yeh chamatkar nahi hota naa..wohi baat bol raha tha..aayiye naa..

Rajat nods his head and joins all the officers in cafeteria. It seems that everyone has got some special lunch..there is a variety of dishes. He feels odd but tastes everything.

Purvi calls up Tarika.

Tarika (slow talking): haan bol..

Purvi: Tarika…uss karele ko sab kuch khilaaya?

Tarika (looking at Rajat): haan..jaisa tumne kaha..sab kuch aaj khilaa diya hai..

Purvi (laughing): acha kiya…khaane de usse jo khaana hai aaj..kal se toh betaaa…mera raaj chalega….karela hi milne waala hai uss kadve karele ko..

Tarika (giggling): kya naam chunaa hai yaar tune..

Purvi (smile): ab main hoon hi kamaal ki toh kya karoon..achaa chal phone rakhti hoon..bye.

Night time

Rajat is standing on the balcony of his house and smoking away. He crushes the cigarette and takes his pack to light another. He notices it's the last cigarette of his pack.

Rajat (mind): aakhiri cigarette..hahaha..he laughs…he goes inside and searches for another pack. He looks into his drawers, his pant pockets, his bathroom.

Rajat (thinking): ek bhi packet nahi hai…aisa..aisa kaise ho sakta hai?..he desparately needs a cigarette. He walks out of house to the paanwaalah he always buys from.

Paanwaala: arre…inspector saab..jai hind..he salutes..

Rajat: haan theekh hai..mera regular packet dena..

Panwaala: arre saabji..maaf kijiye…aapka regular toh aaj shaam ko khatam ho gaya…ek madam aayi thi..30 packet kharid ke le gayi..

Rajat (shock): 30 packet? Who bhi ladki? Kamaal hai…

Panwaala: saabji kamaal toh packet ko kharidne ke baad hua..usne mere aankhon ke saamne saare ke saare cigarette jalaa diye..

Rajat (shock): kya?

Paanwaala: haan…humne poocha 'madamm ee kaa kar rahi ho?' toh boli…'hamari jaan ke liye kuch bhi karengi'…

Something strikes odd to Rajat.

Rajat (thinking): Jaan? Kahin yeh….

His phone rings..

Rajat (absentmindedly): hello..Sr Insp Rajat speaking..

Purvi: raat ke 12 baj gaye hai..tum soye nahi abhi tak..tumhare health chart ke hisaab se tumhe har roz kam se kam 7 ghante sona hai..now be a good boy and go to sleep..

Rajat (angry): tummm? Tumhari itni himmat..mujhe sikhaa rahi ho…yeh meri life hai..aur main apne tareeke se jeeyoonga…

Purvi: sorry sweetie..ab tumhari life sirf tumhari nahi rahi..meri bhi life hai..main apni life se bahut pyaar karti hoon…bahut ummeede hai mujhe meri life se…so please jaisa maine kaha waisa karo..

Rajat (attitude): aur agar naa manoo toh..

Purvi (sweet tone): tum maanoge kaise nahi..raat ke 12 baj gaye..tumhare ek din ka time toh gaya..aaj tumne apni marzi se, maze se bahut kuch acha acha khaaya..aur main jaanti hoon..apni aakhhiri packet ka aakhiri cigarette bhi pii chuke ho..baaki tumhare area ke saare dukaano me tumhare brand ki cigarette toh maine kharid ke jalaa bhi di…toh ab aur karne ko hai kya tumhare paas? So..lights off..sleep well..

Rajat: don't act oversmart…you are undersestimating me? Madame..apni zarooraten poora karne aadmi kahin bhi jaa sakta hai…and I am going to do that..

Purvi: Cigarette tumhari zaroorat nahi…ek gandi aadat hai…jisse tumhe chodna hai…phir bhi…you can try..lekin tum aisa kar nahi paooge..

Rajat feels dizzy suddenly. He needs the cigarette badly.

Rajat (slurry speech): Dekhooo..tum jaanti nahi ho..mujhse uljhoo mat….he falls on the ground.

Abhijit comes out from his hiding place. He picks up Rajat and takes him to his house to make him sleep on his bed. Purvi calls him.

Purvi (worried): jijuuu? Rajat theekh hai naa? Usse kahin chot toh nai aayi naa?

Abhijit (smile): who theekh hai…tum fikar mat karo..tumne kheer me jo davaa mix ki thi..woh kaam kar gayi..ab inspector saab aaram se soyenge..agle 7 ghante..

Purvi (relief): Thank you so much Jijuuu…

Abhijit (smile): thank you toh mujhe tumhe kehna chahiye…tum bahut bada kaam karne jaa rahi ho..ek insaan ko uski zindagi waapas dene waali ho..

Purvi (smile): woh meri zindagi mujhe dene waala hai…toh main uss zindagi ke liye itna toh kar hi sakti hoon…

Abhijit: hmm..chalo aaj ka kaam toh ho gaya..kal se kya karogi?

Purvi: aage aage dekho hota hai kya?...kal se bahut mazaaa aane waala hai…

Next day morning

Rajat is sleeping on his bed. His phone starts ringing. He opens his eyes groggily and checks his phone.

Rajat (sleepy): Helloo..

Abhijit: Rajat…ek urgent kaam hai…main neeche ruka hoon..tum zaraa jaldi aana..aur haan jogging shoes pehen ke aana..

Rajat (question mark): Jogging shoes?

Abhijit (urgency in voice): Rajattt…jaldi karo suspect nikal jaayega..

Rajat (getting up immediately):haan..haan aa raha hoon…5 min..

Rajat (looking around): main yahan? Main toh kal raat ko? He tries to remember what happened..but before he can think, Abhijit calls again. He hangs up the phone and quickly dresses in a tshirt and track pant.

Rajat (running towards Abhijit): Good morning sir..itni subah subah..kya hua?

Abhijit (sitting in car): jaldi baitho..hume joggers park jaana hai..

He drives off fast to a joggers park. They both get down.

Rajat (confused): Sir…hum log yahaan pe?

Abhijit (secret): shhhh…woh….kaali hoodie waale ko dekh rahe ho? He points a finger towards someone. Rajat notices a small man talking on phone. He cannot see his face its covered with a muffler.

Abhijit (whisper): woh ek bahut bada drug dealer hai..information mili hai aaj who bahut bade gang ke saath deal karne waala hai..tumhe uska peecha karna hoga

Rajat (surprise): Mujhe?

Abhijit: haan..tum iska peecha karo..main woh meri waali ke paas jaata hoon..he points to another person in hoodie doing some exercises.

Rajat: aapki waali matlab?

Abhijit (stammer): arre..meri..meri waali matlab..yeh dono hi dealer hai..alag alag deal kar rahe hai..

Rajat (understanding): ohhh..okay sir..abhi jaake pakad leta hoon..he starts to walk, Abhijit pulls him back..

Abhijit: Kya kar rahe ho?...itni jaldi pakadna nahi hai?

Rajat: pakadna nahi matlab?

Abhijit: arre..maine kaha naa..woh..woh doosri gang ke saath deal karne wala hai..toh..toh tumhe sirf uska peecha karna hai..woh jahan jahan jaaye..uske peeche peeche jaana..woh yahan jogging ke bahaane aaya hai..toh tum bhi uske peeche peeche jogging karke jaoo..jaooo..

Rajat: lekin sirrr…

Abhijit: arree..woh dekho..woh nikal raha hai..jaoooo…uske zyaada nazdeek mat jaana..lekin same speed maintain karna..go goooo..all the best

Rajat shrugs his shoulders and jogs slowly behind the black hooded guy..

Abhijit stretches his body and walks to his suspect. He watches intently as the person does light stretching exercises. He cannot control anymore and holds the person by his waist.

Tarika (surprise): Huhhh..Abhiii..yeh kaya kar rahe ho? Hum park me hai…chalo mazaak chodo..tum bhi thodi exercise kar looo

Abhijit: toh ghar chalte hai naa tarikaji..wahan pe hum dono milke exercise kar sakte hai..

Tarika: Aur Rajat pe nazar kaun rakhega?

Abhijit: arre ab Rajat ki koi chinta nahi hai mujhe..uss kadve karele ko theekh karne tumhari saheli jo aa gayi hai..chaliye naaaa…

Rajat is already sweating and huffing running behind the suspect.

Rajat: kiss chakkar pep add gaya main…yeh drug dealer toh thakta hi nahi..the dealer slows down to tie his laces.

Rajat takes a breath and bends over panting. He was once a very fit athlete. Now his body refuses to give support. 5 years of chroic smoking have weakened his lungs to a great extent. He is already wheezing..

Suddenly the dealer gets up and sprints ahead. Rajat looks up with a start.

Rajat: arre..yeh toh bhaag raha hai..isse kahin mujhpe shaq toh nahi hua..eeeeee..Rukkkk..

The guy looks behind and runs. Rajat starts running faster. The guy starts climbing a small hill. Rajat huffs and notices the guy ahead of him also tiring now.

Rajat (mind): Rukkkk jaaa…saale….

Rajat doesn't realize but he has climbed on top of a small hill. The guy runs towards some ruins. Rajat wills his body to run faster.

Rajat (loudly): Ruk jaaa…nahi toh goli maar doonga..

The guy looks back and sees that Rajat is not having any gun. He grins and runs ahead. But the guy is also slowing down, equally tired. He is about to fall in exhaustion.

Rajat manages to catch his jacket and pulls him back. The guy looses his balance and falls backward on Rajat. they both fall down and roll downwards. Rajat grabs the guy close to him and tries to subdue his hands by holding them above his head. He manages to do that and with his other free hand, pulls the scarf tied on his face!

Rajat (shock): Tummm…he looks here and there..woh kahan gaya?

Purvi: kaun who?

Rajat (angry): Tumse matlab?...yahan kya kar rahi ho? Mera saara time waste kar diya..ab jaoo yahan se..

Purvi (smile): kaise jaoon? Tum mere upar jo ho..mera haath toh chodo..

He realizes he is on top of her and he has held her hands above her head very tightly. He gets embarrassed and leaves her hands. He gets off her. His phone rings. Its Abhijit.

Rajat (huffing): Sir..pata nahi who drug dealer…kahan chala gaya..

Abhijit: who apne ghar gaya hogaa…aaram se sonee..ek kaam karo tum bhi ghar jaooo..aaj ke liye itna exercise kaafi hai..kal same time..same place..

Rajat (confused, shocked): What? Heloo..hello.. Abhijit has cut his phone.

Purvi: good job Kadve karele…aaj ka exercise bahut acha raha..mera bhi aur tumhara bhi..

Rajat: what? Exercise?

Purvi: haan..maine kaha thaa naa..aaj se tumhare jeene ki shuruaat ho gayi hai…kal raat se tumne ek bhi cigarette nahi pii, tum 7 ghante soye, aur tumne subah jogging bhi ki..I am so proud of you..she smiles with a proud look.

Rajat (angry): yeh kya mazaak hai…

Purvi (angry): Yeh mazaak nahi hai…yeh sab main hum dono ke liye kar rahi hoon..ab chalo ghar..tumhe naashte se pehle davaai bhi khaani hai

Rajat (shock): Ab tum mere ghar pe bhi aaogi? Unbelievable !

Purvi: oh you better believe it…maine kaha naa…meri jaan tumhare andar hai..toh main wahin rahoongi naa jahan meri jaan ho..isliye aaj se..abhi se….she sings … Hum saath..Saath hainnnn..janmooo ke saathi…hum saath saath hai…

Rajat (angry): Just shut up! He starts walking down hill..

Purvi: arre….kahan jaa rahe ho?…Meriii Jaaan…..main bhi aa rahi hoon…hahahaaha..she laughs..

So Purvi ne toh Rajat ko apni jaan bol diya….what will happen when she forcibly enters into Rajat's life, his space, his house? jabardasti ghar pe toh jagah banaa legi? magar kya Rajat ke dil me bhi jagah milegi?
