A/N: Thank u everyone for your support…. Aur abb dil thaam ke baithiye…bahut bahut bahut hi bara jhatka lagne wala hai…..and jo log daya ka double meaning guess kar paye, GOOD JOB…yaha par sab CID ki tarah hi sochte hai…aur jo guess nahi kar paye is chapter ko read karke shayad pata chal jaye…Now here's the update…(NEW YEAR DHAMAKA FROM DIYA…)
HAVE A HAPPY READING….
Everyone moved out of the ICU…Daya went after them to door and saw that everybody was now out of hospital….then he came back to Abhijeet and stood besides him with down head…Abhi looked at him and now he was able to read his eyes a bit…For a fow minutes there was complete silence in the room…Daya didn't have the courage to speak anything after all that happened…at last Abhi tried to speak, though he was not able to speak properly because of his weakness….
Abhi(lookining keenly at Daya): Dayaaaa…..(and he stopped to take breath..he was still supported by external equipments to breath properly…Daya was surprised to hear that soft voice of Abhi…After a few secononds, Abhi continued with a small smile..)..Thik ho na tum..? (Again a shock for Daya..how..?how could he talk like this after what happened…why there was so much care in his voice for the person who tried to kill him just a few hours ago..why? Daya was still in shock..Abhi understood what was going on in his mind…he lifted his hand a bit and moved it towards Daya…Daya looked at that hand and was about to hold it but suddenly pulled his hand back and turned and moved towards the window…When he was standing there, he received a call…he picked it up talked only for a minute or two…actually he didn't spoke much..he was only listening…all this time Abhi was observing him, though he was not able to see his face but the much he saw was more than enough for him understand his friend's mind…After attending the call Daya came back to Abhi and kept his hand on his arm and squeezed them a bit..Abhi was feeling something fishy going on with Daya…a touch was worth a thousand words…)
Daya(in a very low voice..): Abh..Abhi…wo…mai….(and again his cell beeped…he took it out of his pocket and looked at the screen…then kept that back in his pocket and looked back at Abhi…he looked at the side of Abhi's bed at the instruments attached to his body..which were showing the current condition of him…)
Abhi was looking at all what Daya was doing…then he again called Daya with the same concern: Dayaaaa…..(Daya looked at him…)
Daya: Abhi….
Abhi didn't said anything this time…he just gave him a small nod and blinked his eyes at him…Daya slowly moved his hand towards Abhi's face and touched his cheeks softly and suddenly pulled his hands back…he stood there with support of the bed facing the door…He again received a call, picked it up, didn't speak a word and cut the call…he was standing in the same position…suddenly he felt a soft grip forming on his wrist…he looked at his hand and found Abhi holding him with his loose grip which was all the strength he had at that time…Daya stood there for a few minutes in the same position while Abhi held his hand with all the strength he had…Daya again touched Abhi's cheeks softly and then slowly moved his hand to the oxygen mask on his face…and removed it….as soon as he removed it, Abhi took a deep breathe…it was difficult for him to breathe without that mask…he loosened his grip on Daya's wrist and looked at him…he too was looking at Abhi…Abhi was not breathing properly…he completely left Daya's hand and Daya left the room immediately…Abhi started breathing heavily…it was very difficult for him to breath…within a few seconds the emergency alarm rang from the ICU which was the indication that the patient inside was sinking…and this time the patient was none other than Abhijeet…
The doctor ran inside the ICU with a few nurses…he found the room empty…and Abhi was breathing heavily…his condition looked like he would stop breathing any moment…the doctor rushed towards him and put on the mask back on his face…and in a short time he was again breathing normally…but he got unconscious…doctors gave him injection and came outside…he immediately called CID…the team reached there in a hurry and went to Abhi's room…they found him sleeping peacefully…a nurse was present there…she told them that the doctor was in his cabin and was waiting for them…
Everyone went to the doctor's cabin…
In Doctor's cabin…
ACP knocked the door and entered…he read the doctor's face..he was tensed plus he was angry…ACP smelled something seriously wrong…the doctor asked him to sit…ACP sat on one chair opposite to the doctor and Rajat on the adjacent chair to ACP's…
ACP(worried): Kya baat hai doctor saab…Abhijeet ko achanak attack kaise aaya…aura bb wo theek hai na…
Doctor(serious): Theek…aap pooch rahe hai ki wo theek hai…? ACP saab, Mr. Abhijeet marte marte bache hai… unpar kisi ne jaan-lewa hamla kiya hai…
ACP(shocked): KYA…?
Doctor: Ha sir…unka oxygen mask utaar diya tha kisi ne…(everyone was shocked…)..aur mujhe yeh bhi pata hai ki ye sab kiya kisne hai…
Rajat: Kya…aapko pata hai…? Kisne..kisne kiya ye sab…?
Doctor: Meri baat par shayad aap logo ko vishwas na ho par Mr. Abhijeet par humla karne wala aur koi nahi balki aapke hi officer Daya hai….
ACP(in anger): Ye kya keh rahe hai aap doctor saab…Daya aisa kaise kar sakta hai…
Freddy: Ha doctor saab, Daya sir kabhi bhi Abhijeet sir ke saath aisa kuch nahi kar sakte…aapko zaroor koi galtfehmi hui hai…
Doctor: Mujhe pata tha aap log mera vishwas nahi karenge…
ACP: To kaise kare vishwas doctor saab…Daya kabhi aisa kar hi nahi sakta…aur wo bhi Abhijeet ke sath…kabhi nahi..aisa ho hi nahi sakta…
Doctor(now more angry, with louder voice): Agar unhone aisa nahi kiya hai to phir achaanak chale kaise gaye…? Iss haadse se pehle tak to yahi the, achaanak kaha gayab ho gaye hai aapke officer Daya…aur to aur jab wo hospital se nikal rahe the, tabhi ICU ka alarm baja tha…unhone bhi suna…to phir wo wapas kyu nahi aaye…chale kaise gaye ye jaante hue bhi ki unke saathi ki jaan khatre me hai…haa…hai aap logo ke paas koi jawab…?
ACP was dumb stuck…Everybody was speechless…Rajat managed to say..: Aap itne yakin ke sath kaise keh sakte hai ki Daya sir bhaag gaye…aapne dekha hai unhe yaha se bhaagte hue
Doctor(now bit calm): Nahi..maine nahi dekha…par iss nurse ne dekha tha(pointing to a nurse standing at a corner of doctor's cabin..) Jab hum ICU ki taraf ja rahe the tab isne Inspector Daya ko uss corridor se jaate hue dekha…
ACP: Ek minute..ek minute….aap..(pointing to the nurse)..ha aap batayiye ki yaha par exactly hua kya tha..
Nurse(a bit afraid): Sir..jab ICU ka alarm baja tab mai corridor ke dusre taraf thi…isiliye mujhe aane me baaki sabse thri der ho gayi…mai jab ICU ki taraf ja rahi thi to maine dekha ki Inspector Daya ek dusre room se chup kar ICU ki taraf dekh rahe the…aur jab doctor saab aur baaki sab log ICU ke andar chale gaye tab wo waha se nikal gaye…aur uske baad wapas nahi aye…
Doctor: Abb aap logo vishwas hua meri baato par….
ACP and all were shocked…totally shocked…Daya was the one who tried to kill Abhi…Abhijeet, his best friend, his brother…he tried to kill him..? WHY..? Why would he do so..?
ACP: Rajat…
Rajat: Yes sir…
ACP: Call karo Daya ko aur yaha bulao…turant…
Rajat: Yes sir….(and he called Daya but no one received)..Sir..Daya sir phone nahi utha rahe hai…mai phir se try karta hu..(and he tried again)…sir…wo..sir ne apna phone switch off kar diya hai…
ACP: Laga hi tha mujhe…khoon karne ki koshish kar chukka hai…wo bhi do baar…humaare phone ka intezaar thori na karega…
Freddy: Sir aapka matlab…aapko bhi yahi lagta hai ki Daya sir aisa karenge…aur wo bhi Abhijeet sir ke sath…
ACP(angry): To aur kya samjhu mai Freddy…aur kya matlab nikaalu mai inn sab ka haa…(calming down a bit)..Freddy, ek kaam karo, tum aur Sachin yaha ruk jao Abhijeet ke paas…aur baaki sab bureau me milo mujhe kal subah thik 7:30 pe…aur iss case par kaam karna shuru kar dena…mujhe kuch kaam hai isiliye aane me thori der ho jayegi, tab tak tum inhe lead karna..theek hai..(this was absolutely not the same man whom all were seeing since that incidence…. Freddy and Sachin moved to Abhi's room and others moved towards their respective homes…ACP move to doctor)..Doctor saab, abb Abhijeet ki halat kaisi hai…mera matlab hai…(and he stopped, not finding any word)..
Doctor: ACP saab, hum samay par pahuch gaye the warna shayad unki jaan bhi ja sakti thi….par abb chinta ki koi baat nahi hai…abb wo stable hai…
ACP: OK, thank you doctor saab…waise Abhijeet ko hosh kab taka a jayega…?
Doctor: Unhe sedation diya hai…abb unhe kal subah hi hosh ayega…
ACP: Acha theek hai…par doctor saab, mai apne do officers ko yaha par chhor kar ja raha hu…umeed hai aapko koi aitraaz nahi hoga iss baat se..
Doctor: Are nahi ACP saab, mujhe kis baat ka aitraaz hoga…mai samajhta hu, Abhijeet par do do baar humla hua hai…to security to honi hi chahiye…aur mairi bhi yahi rai hai ki unko security milni chahiye…
ACP and the doctor move out of the cabin...doctor went for his regular rounds and ACP moved to see Abhi…
When ACP entered, Freddy and Sachin were already present there…and Abhi was still unconscious…ACP ordered both of them not to move from there and not to leave Abhijeet alone for a single second…after some more instructions he moved to his home…
At ACP's home…
He tried to sleep but he knew well it was impossible…he got up and went to the balcony of his bedroom and sat there on an armchair…a smile srept his lips..actually whenever he sat on that chair, he always felt so good, like he is not alone..amazing, how small things can make someone feel good in the toughest of situation…
Flashback…
ACP: Daya..Abhijeet…tum log yahi baitho, mai abhi aata hu…wo file to mere study room me hi reh gayi..mai lekar aata hu..
Abhijeet: Ji sir…(ACP left…and after sometime when he returned, he heard some noise from inside…)
ACP(thinking): Ye dono phir shuru ho gaye…inka kabhi kuch nahi ho sakta….chalo dekhte hai iss baar kya chal rahha hai…(and he hid himself and watched duo from outside…)
Inside the room, Daya was sitting on ACP's arm chair and acting like ACP…
Daya(serious): Abhijeet…yaha aao..(Abhi sincerely went and stood in front of Daya with a news paper in his hand)
Abhi: Ji sir..
Daya: Uss case ka kya hua jot um handle kar rahe the…kuch lead mili usme….
Abhi: Ha sir…wo case to sir jaldi hi khatam ho jayega…kafi kuch pata chal gaya hai uss khooni ke bare me…(forwading him the news paper) iss file me uski sari details hai sir…(Daya took the news paper and looked at it very seriously..but suddenly burst into laughter..)
Abhi: Kya yaar..tumse na acting bhi nahi hoti hai theek se…ek to itni der se tumne ek baar bhi apni ungli nahi ghumayi aura bb pata nahi kis baat par itni hasi aa rahi hai..
Daya(somehow controlling his laughter): Are yaar Abhijeet…mai kisi ki bhi mimicry kar sakta hu par ACP sir ki….(again started laughing)..wo..wo to..tum hi..karo….
Abhi: Ha wo to hai….(smiling broadly)..mujhse accha unki mimicry koi nahi kar sakta…chal uth mai karke dikhata hu ( Daya stood up and this time Abhi sat on that arm chair) Ha abb dekh…mai kaise karta hu…
Daya: Waise ek baat kahu…bahut jach rahe ho ACP sir ki chair par (Abhi smile a bit )..achha chalo abb jaldi se karo mimicry…ACP sir na ajaye…
Abhi: Ha..karta hu…character me to aane de…par tu Abhi..i mean meri acting karega..OK..(Daya nodded in yes…after five seconds)..Abhijeet (he called in exactly the same singing manner like ACP do)...(shaking his finger) ye jo Ramesh hai, ye mujhe kuch garbar lag raha hai…(now saying streaching every word to highlight them)..warna ye usi jagah, usi samay, usi larki ke sath kaise milta…KAISE….
Daya(in Abhi's style ): Sir ho sakta hai ki ye koi ittifaq ho…
Abhi(narrowing his eyes) : Maan lete hai Abhijeet ki ye ittifaq hai…phir bhi.. socho….har crime spot par maujood hona aur crime ke baad waha se gayab ho jana…(again shaking his finger) nai nai nai Abhijeet…ye koi ittifaq wittifaq nahi hai…balki ek sochi samjhi sajish hai..SAJISH….
Daya(rubbing corner of his mouth like Abhijeet do): Ha sir yeh baat to hai…baaki to saare log wahi par the bas ek yahi aadmi gayab tha….
Abhi: Wohi to..wohi to mai keh raha hu…ki…(and he stood up from the chair in jerk…Daya looked at him…he was looking shocked+afraid…he followed Abhi's gaze and stood there with his mouth half open…there stood their dear ACP sir, looking keenly at both of them…)
ACP came forward with an angry face and stopped near Daya and said..: muh band karo..(Daya immediately closed his half open mouth)..Then he moved ahead and stood right in front of Abhijeet…he was looking down..as he sensed ACP sir in front of him, he tried to move back which resulted him to fall back on the chair…he stood immediately and stood there with down head…
ACP(angrily): Kyu..kya ho raha tha ya sab haa….
Daya(slowly): Marr gaye…(but ACP heard it and gave him a sharp glance which was enough for Daya..he moved his head down)
Abhi: Sir….wo…wo hum to…sir…bas..wo…(and ACP burst into laughter…Abhi and Daya look at each other as it was more shocking for them than getting caught red handed by ACP while mimicking him)..
Present Time…
ACP was smiling thinking of that incident…it always brings a smile on his face…not only this, but reminding every small and big thing of his two sons that he have seen in the past 16 years make him happy…ACP was lost in those memories but suddenly that smile disappears from his face and tears comes in his eyes…yes, he was remembering all that happened that day…At morning that day, everybody was so happy as they were going for a trip…everybody was so excited…specially Abhijeet and Daya…they planned everything they will do in these two days…Thinking all these things, a sad smile came on his face…
Flashback…
Freddy was trying to say something for the last 15 minutes…but how could he…THE TWO were present there to cut him every time he tried to speak something…Daya was sitting on his chair and Abhi sitting on the table..moving his legs carelessly in air…Freddy was standing besides them…Daya was writing something on a paper and they were very excited…
Daya: Ha Abhi…dekho..ye list to tayar hai…(Abhi took that list from his hand and started reading it)
Abhi: Are ye kya hai yaar Daya…camara to likha hi nahi..
Daya: To usme kya likhna hai..wo to waise hi le lenge na…
Freddy: Sir wo…
Abhi: Ek minute Freddy…(turning to Daya)..Yaar tum phir bhul jaoge…yaad hai na pichli baar bhi bhul gaye the…
Daya: Ha par…
Abhi(cut him): Nahi, tum bas likho…(placing the paper in front of him)
Daya: Thik hai likh deta hu….(after writing)..par yaar raaste me hum khaana bhi khayenge...sabko bhook lag jayegi tab tak…
Abhi: Sabko ki aapko…anyways, tumhe koi restaurant ka pata hai…jo raaste me parta ho..
Freddy: Sir mai…
Daya: Ek minute Freddy...Ha Abhijeet.. mujhe ek dhabe ka pata hai aur wo humaare raaste par hi parta hai…
Freddy: Ek min…
Abhi(again cutting him): Freddy ek minute yaar…Daya suno, tum aaj baaki sabse jaldi aa jana mere ghar taaki meri thori help ho jaaye….theek hai..
Freddy: Sir meri baat….
Daya: Freddy ruko ek minute…Ha Abhijeet…mai aadhe ghante pehle hi pahuch jaaunga baaki sabse..OK..
Now Freddy moved towards ACP sir , Salunkhe sir and Tarika who were watching everything…
Freddy(complaining tone): Sir dekhiye na inn dono sirs ko…meri baat hi nahi sun rahe hai…
Salunkhe(smiling): Kyu bhai..tumhe laga tha ki iss samay wo tumhari baat sunne wale hai…
ACP(smiling broadly): Sach me yaar Salunkhe, in dono ka kuch pata hi nahi chalta…abb dekh inhe aise dekhkar koi kahega ki ye dono CID ke senior officers hai…(just then they saw duo argueing about something still anaware of their seniors' presence)..ye dekho…nursery ke bacche bhi aise nahi ladte hai…(slapping his forehead) pata nahi kya karunga mai inka…(this made Salunkhe laugh a bit)
Salunkhe: Ha yaar..sach me…par hai to ye dono hi CID ki jaan…(ACP gave his usual proud look )…par…
ACP: Par? par kya..
Salunkhe: Par inko iss tarha dekhkar to log tumpar shak karenge…
ACP: Kya..mujhpar kyu…?
Salunkhe: Are yaar shak to karenge hi na…ki itne mushkil mushkil case tum inpar kaise chhor dete ho…(and both laughed aloud which stopped duo and they moved to them..)
Salunkhe(tu duo): Are are tum dono kyu ruk gaye…jao jao jaake lado araam se…
Abhi: Are nahi sir, abb aap aa gaye hai na to socha abb thori baat aap se bhi kar lete hai…bahut der se aapko miss kar rahe the hum…(said looking towards Tarika)
Salunkhe: Haa haa pata hai mujhe acche se ki kitna miss karte ho tum mujhe…baat mujhse kar rahe hai aur nazar Tarika ke upar hai…..aur janaab hume sirf tab tak hi miss karte hai jab tak inki Tarika Ji humaare sath hai..kyu sahi kaha na…
Abhi: JI
Salunkhe: Dekha…dekha Pradyuman…dekha apne ladle ko…
ACP was just smiling…yah..this was now a daily routine….Daya got a call and he went aside to talk…after sometime he came back..
Daya(serious): Sir, mujhe thori der ke liye bahar jana hoga…(turning to Abhijeet) Abhi mai sidhe ghar par hi milta hu tumse…
Abhi(now he was serious as well): Theek hai Daya par achanak ja kaha rahe ho?
Daya(in a comic manner): Tumhare liye pastries lane…are yaar khabri ka call tha, usi se milne ja raha hu…
Abhi: Oh, to pastries ka naam kyu liya…mujhe laga sach me pastries lene ja rahe ho…
Daya: Abhi tum bhi na yaar…
ACP: Ha jaise khud kuch kam hai….
Daya was about to move but Abhi called him again..
Abhi: Dayaa…(Daya turned back. Now Abhi was serious)..sab theek hai na…
Daya: Ha yaar..khabri ka call hi to hai bas…tum kyu itna tension le rahe ho…
Abhi: Nahi..nahi bas aise hi..mann me aa gaya to pooch liya….theek hai tum jao…par dhyaan rakhna..aur koi baat ho to batana….
Daya: Ha yaar theek hai…tum baaki tayari kar lo..mai milta hu tumhare ghar par sham ko…OK bye…(and he left)
Abhi came back…Salunkhe and ACP were watching them…A minute ago they were quarrelling like kids…and now this…
Salunkhe: Yaar Abhijeet…tum dono bilkul unpredictable ho….abhi to aise lad rahe the aur abb aisa concern…tum dono na, kab kya kar jao samajhna mushkil hai (Abhi smiled but still looking a bit serious)
ACP: Haa..isi baat ka to darr rehta hai ki ye kab kya kar jaye…in dono ke ishare to mai bhi aaj tak nahi samajh pata…pata nahi inki biwiyan inhe kaise jhelengi…(Salunkhhe looked at Tarika who blushed badly and Abhijeet gave his 'cute wala smile')
Tarika(not looking at anyone): Sir..mai…mai zara lab me ja rahi hu…wo last case ki file check karni reh gayi thi…
Abhi: Sir mai bhi…
Salunkhe(teasing): lab me chalta hu…
Abhi(shocked from sudden bombardments): KYA….Na..nahi..nahi..mai wo..wo..mai…HA…mai wo trip ke liye kuch important samaan lene ja raha hu…(and he left without looking at anyone or giving Salunkhe any chance to throw another comment …ACP, Salunkhe and all others started laughing on them…)
Present….
ACP was smiling through tears while reminding all the good moments spent with his sons….and again his smile vanished as he remembered the present situation…One of his son was lying on the hospital bed…who came back from the mouth of death and the second son, who was now the suspect of a crime…he remembered how they used to care for each other…he remembered the moment when Daya was moving out of the bureau and Abhi's concern towards him…he remembered how excited and happy they were at morning and how the situation changed in less than a day's time…And then came the thought what he will have to do the next morning…everybody will again get to see the stone hearted ACP Pradyuman who doesn't care about anything except law…they will see that the ACP is not caring even about his own officer who is like his own son…but nobody will see how he is doing all this…how he is composing himself to do investigation against his own son...nobody saw the pain behind his strong words that he said in the hospital…
Thinking all these things, he closed his eyes…he knew he will not be able to sleep but he wanted to live the past moments which was the only way he could sooth himself…and again he drifted into the past…to sooth himself…to get strength to fight the present….
A/N: Now this was a long one I suppose….and bahut jyada serious story chal rahi thi to beech me do flashbacks daal diye..(waise ek chapter me kitne flashbacks reasonable hote hai?):D
I hope u all will like this chapter as well…par abb to aur jyada tension ho gaya na….Daya ne Abhi ko ek baar nahi balki do-do baar maarne ki koshish ki…whtz going on..? waise is chapter me hint to diye hai maine…aur tension kam karne ke liye, duo dose bhi kafi hai…hope u'll like it…next chapter se investigation start hoga….n yea, don't forget to review….
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF U ONCE AGAIN….
DIYA….
