Now, here is the next chapter…I hope you will enjoy this…
HAVE A HAPPY READING…
Abhi was sitting on the bed in his room with closed eyes, resting his head on the backrest…he was in deep thoughts…though he was happy that Daya told him the truth and now he knew the reason behind all that Daya did, but still he was worried…he was feeling that there was something worse that Daya was still hiding from him…
Abhi(thinking): ye Daya zaroor mujhse kuch chupa raha hai…sirf ek dhamki ki wajah se wo aisa kadam to nhi utha sakta…pehle bhi to kitni baar aisi dhamkiya aati rahi hai…phir iss baar aisa kya ho gaya ki Daya ne aisa kadam uthaya…(something strike his mind ..) kahi wo video clip…uski wajah se to wo ye sab nahi kar raha hai…par aisa kyat ha uss clip me ki Daya itna darr gaya… uske bare me bolte waqt bhi to kitna dara hua lag raha tha…par job hi hai mujhe to bata sakta tha na….par nahi..mujhse bhi chupa raha hai…kahi mujhse related hi to kuch nahi tha…shayad tabhi muhse chupa raha ho…par phir bhi…har baat to batata hai…iss baar ho kya gaya hai ise…ek ke baad ek aise kadam uthaye ja raha hai jisse use nuksaan pahuch rahe hai…aur wajah bata raha hai, meri jaan ki dhamkiya…ye bhi koi baat hui bhala….(he thinks something and takes out that paper and diary which was found from Daya's home…he opens it and tears come in his eyes..)..pata nahi aur kya kya chupa rakha hai isne apne dil me…kuch batane ko tayar bhi nahi hai…sab kuch akele hi sahe ja raha hai…Daya yaar tu duniya se apne dard chupa sakta hai…par apne dodt se nahi…tu chahe kitni bhi koshish kar le par mai jaanta hu kit u iss waqt kis condition se guzar raha hai…
Abhi took that paper which was actually a blank paper which had a few ink pen dots on the top left corner of it, from that it can be said that someone tryied to write something on it but left it….but Abhi's eyes were not looking at those spots…his eyes were focussed on the lower half of the paper which was damaged due to water drops on it….actually they were the drops of tear that must have rolled down Daya's cheeks while he tried to write something on that paper…
Abhi(thinking): bolna chahta tha par phir bhi chup reh gaya…Daya yaar…kuch to ishaara deta na…agar paper pe likhne wala tha apni dil ki baat to likh deta na…kyu aise ghut ghut ke jee raha hai…(looking aat those tear drops)itna roya tu uss din par phir bhi mere paas nahi aya…akele hi sehta raha…yaar, aisi kaun si baat hai jo tu mujhe tak nahi bata sakta….(and a few drops of tear rolled down from his eyes and fell on that paper where Daya's tears were also present…)
Then Abhi opened that diary and took out a certain page in it…
23 October, 2013…it read..
Aaj ka din to har saal special hota hai…mere liye to mere birthday se bhi special hota hai ye din…aakhir aaj mere bhai ka birthday jo hai….Aaj kitna maza aya…Abhi kitna khush tha…aur jab maine us ke muh par cake lagaya to uski shakal to dekhne layak thi…par asli maza to tab aya jab Abhi ke sath mere ghar par humne har saal ki tarah poori raat jagkar baate ki… pata nahi kaha kaha se aise ideas le aata hai Abhi…ye puri raat jagran ka idea bhi to usi ne diya tha kayi saal pehle…aur tab se ye humara tradition hi ban gaya….ki uske birthday pe hum saari raat jagkar masti karenge…aur agle din bureau late pahuchkar ACP sir se daat khayenge...( a smile crept Abhi's lips on reading this)…Mujhe bhi pata tha ki agle din daat paregi par koi baat nahi…Abhi ko uske birthday party se jyada khushi to isi me milti hai…aur jab wo humare CID ke puraane kisse yaad karke khush hota hai to uske chehre ki wo khushi dekhne ke liye to mai kuch bhi kar sakta hu…aakhir iss cute si smile ki wajah se hi to mujhe apni ek cute si bhabhi mil gayi ;p (Abhi was now smiling broadly…he turned the page and seeing it his eyes were wide open…there a picture was sticked which was taken on his birthday in which his face was fully covered with cake and a cherry was beautifully placed on his nose above the white crème…and the picture had a caption, 'Mr. Cake'…)
If it were any other time, he would have burst out laughing, but this time was different….now, even the slightest memory of Daya was making him sad…but still the diary made him smile a bit and it helped him regain his energy to fight all to save his buddy…he turned another few pages and co-incidently, this time, it was the day of Daya's birthday…he started reading it…
Aaj to sach me mai darr hi gaya tha…mujhe to sach me laga ki Abhi ka transfer ho gaya hai...Sach me..ye Abhi bhi na…kabhi kabhi bilkul bacho jaisa behave karta hai…jab mai use daat raha tha, to kaise baccho ki tarah jakar ACP sir ke peeche chup gaya…use aise dekhke itni hasi aa rahi thi par maza bhi to aa raha tha…uske complaints…my God…koi kahega ki wo ek CID officer hai…waise ek baat to achi ho gayi…mere gussa dikhane ki wajah se mai Abhi ke hatho se bach gaya…warna iss baar wo pakka mujhse apne birthday ka badla leta aur mujhe apni tarah 'Mr. Cake' bana deta…aur aaj usse ye keh t diya ki mai usse gussa ho jaunga, par ye shart to Abhijeet hi jeetega..kyoki mai aisa kabhi kar hi nahi sakta…pehli baar koi shart haar raha hu, wo bhi Abhi ki wajah se…badla to lekar rahenge…dekhte hai kya karna hai…ek ek baat ka badla lunga mai…mujhe poore din pareshaan kiya na tumne…abb dekhna tum…
Abhi(to himself in tears): Badla to tu le raha hai Daya…bahut ache se le raha hai…
He opened another random page of the diary and it was the day…the day which brought that storm in their life and left everything haphazard…
30 December, 2013…
I killed him…
I ended everything…
It's all over…
Abhi was now unable to control over himself…he burst out crying…he knew very well what Daya meant while writing these three line…but still he couldn't show it to anyone because they will take it the wrong way….after sometime he calmed down and now he seriously focused on the case keeping aside all his emotions….
Abhi: Mai ye sab akele kaise kar paunga…mujhe kisi se to help leni hi hogi…par sab to Daya ke khilaaf hai….(then he remembered something and…)are ha…ye mere dimaag se kaise nikal gaya…Tarika…wo zaroor meri madad karegi…then he took his mobile and dialled her number…
Tarika: Hello…Abhijeet…
Abhi: Ha Tarika….mujhe tumse milna hai…tum kab free hoti ho…
Tarika(concerned): Kya baat hai…sab theek hai na…
Abhi: Tarika tum ache se janti ho kya baat hai…par abhi wo sab choro, mujhe ye batao ki tum free kab hoti ho?
Tarika: Abhijeet…agar baat zaroori hai to abhi mil sakti hu…
Abhi(hesitating): Tarika…iss waqt…raat bahut ho rahi hai…tum…
Tarika(cut him): Mujhe pata hai tum kis bare me baat karna chahte ho…aur mai bhi yehi chahti hu ki ye sab jald se jald khatam ho jaye….bolo kaha milna hai…
Abhi took a sigh and: Theek hai Tarika…to phir wahi pe milte hai…
Tarika: OK…Mai adhe ghante me pahuchti hu…
Abhi: hmmm…thank you Tarika…(and he cut the call and get ready to meet her..)
Both left to their destination which was a cafeteria near the beach…Abhi was the first to reach there and he stood in the balcony of the café from where the sea site could clearly be seen…cool wind was blowing from the sea due to which his hair was waving in air just like the sea waves…Tarika entered after sometime and straight went to the balcony…she stopped at the door which opend outside to balcony and looked at him…he was standing with support of the railing and was in deep thought…Tarika went over to him and softly placed a hand over his shoulder…he immediately turned back…he was very calm…not crying or having tears at all as Tarika was expecting him…but still she knew he was sad…both stood for a few seconds without speaking anything…they were just looking at each other…Abhi was thinking how to start the conversation as he never wanted to drag he into such things…he always tried to keep her much away from the criminal world…but now, he was doing this…on the other hand, Tarika wanted him to open up comfortably before her as she knew very well what he was undergoing…but when she found only silence, she decided to start the conversation…but just then, Abhi started..
Abhi(still hesitating): Tarika…(and again he stop and turn back to face the sea and looked up…he didn't want to let his emotions work over his strength…)
Tarika noticed this well, so this time she spoke..
Tarika: Abhijeet…Daya se mil liye…kya kaha usne…kuch bataya…(Abhi turned to her and looked at her in amazement…Tarika smiled a bit on this and added)..itna to janti hi hu mai tum dono ko…(this time Abhi smiled and felt proud of her…)
Abhi: Haan…gaya tha mai milne usse….aur baat bhi hui….
And he told her everything Daya told him….
Tarika(calm but strong): Mujhe kya karna hai?(this was the second shock for Abhi…how did she know what he wanted from her…)
Abhi(shocked): Tumhe kaise pata ki maine tumhe kyu bulaya hai…
Tarika smiled on his innocent expression and said: Maine kaha na Abhijeet…mujhe pata chal jata hai…abb aage ka kya socha hai…aur mujhe kya karna hoga?
Abhi: Tum…tum pakka help karogi meri….tumhe abb bhi vishwas hai Daya par…
Tarika(in some anger): Abhi…Daya mera bhi dost hai…aur mujhe bhi uss par utna hi bharosa hai jitna ki tumhe….(stops for a second, and then continue)..aur Abhi, mujhe uspar yakeen hai tabhi to maine pehle bhi iss case me tumhari help kit hi na use bachane me…tumhare hi kehne pe maine wo diary unn tak nahi pahuchne di aur tumhare hi kehne pe maine tumhare ghar ka ek window khol diya…taaki tumhari banayi hui story pe koi shak na kare aur Daya bach jaye…
Abhi: Haan Tarika…mai janta hu…and I'm sorry…maine to bas aise hi keh diya…sab log uske khilaaf bol rahe the to….
Tarika: To tumhe laga ki mai bhi…(consoling)Abhijeet…mai humesha tumhare sath hu…aur jispar tum bharosa kar rahe ho wo kabhi galat ho hi nahi sakta…
Abhi: Thanks Tarika…mujhpar bharosa karne ke liye…aur mujhe humesha tumhare sath ki zaroorat paregi….(he takes a sigh and then..) Tarika , mai kabhi tumhe inn sab cheezo me nahi laana chahta tha par…
Tarika : Its ok Abhijeet…tum bas iss case par dhyaan do…baaki sab theek ho jayega….waise Abhijeet, tumhe kya lagta hai…(and then to divert his mind, she said in a serious tone)kya ho sakta hai uss video me…
Abhi(now serious): Pata nahi….koi hint bhi nahi diya…(Tarika smiled a bit as her plan worked and again wore a serious expression)..par mujhe lagta hai shayad kuch mujhse ya phir team se related kuch hai….waise jyada chances to issi ke hai ki ye kuch aisi cheez hai jo ki mujhse related hai aur shayad mujhe hurt kar sakti hai…
Tarika: hmmm….ho sakta hai…wais eek baat batau…maine abhi tak kisi ko nahi batayi…
Abhi: Kya…
Tarika: Wo…Daya ki diary pe kuch laga hua mila tha na….jab ACP sir ne pucha to maine unse kaha ki koi ghar ki hi cheez lag gayi hai….par wo ghar ki koi cheez nahi thi…ye to mujhe dekh kar hi pata chal gaya tha…
Abhi: Kya…tumne jhoot bola….(and he make face as 'kya baat hai')..waise tha kya wo…
Tarika: Abhi tak pata nahi chala…mai test karne hi lagi thi ki Salunkhe sir aa gaye….to maine wo chupa diya…baadme wo sample kharaab ho gaya kyuki usme already chemicals mila diye the maine…(Abhi slapped his forehead…and started smiling…Tarika saw this and in anger..)Abhi haso mat samjhe…maine to sirf ek test tube chupaya tha…tum to khud hi chupte chupaate gaye the Daya se milne…aur maine jo bhi kiya apne dost ke liye kiya…tumhare liye nahi…
Abhi(sarcastically): Acha ji….
Tarika: Haanji…
Both wanted to refresh each other's mood and cheer themselves up…so they were having some light moments, just to drive all the tension away for the moment…so that they can use that energy to face any problem in the coming future, which they knew would be coming for sure after the step they are going to take…
After sometime, Abhi told her to leave as its too dark and before leaving, she made him promise to tell everything about this case …Abhi dropped her home…she got out of the car and was moving inside the gate when Abhi called her from behind…
Abhi: Tarika…
Tarika turns back: Ha Abhijeet…
Abhi: Thanks…(and he smiles to her..)
Tarika: Shaam se chaar paach baar bol chuke ho….case khatam hote hote to tumhare 'thanks' se mera ghar bhar jayega…
Abhi laughs lightly and looks her for a moment and then say: Bye…
Tarika: Bye…aur abb jaldi jao warna jaane se pehle wapas hi bolne ka time aa jayega…kal milna hai na wapas…
Abhi(teasing her): Wo to aapse roz hi milna hai Tarika ji…(Tarika blushed a bit and Abhi drove away to his home)
Now both had new hopes in their mind and heart…and they both were thinking of what they will do next….and with these thoughts, both spent the whole night…trying to boost themselves up with each other's support…waiting for the next morning…
A/N: Chalo, finally ye chapter bhi complete ho hi gaya…iss chapter me story to aage nahi barhi but pichle chapters ke kuch cheeze clear karni thi(if u still remember what things were left without clearing them, u'll probably find the answer here..)…next chapter se wapas ye story emotional se investigative track par aa jayegi…so be prepared for that…aur iss baar mujhe bhi preparation ki zaroorat hai kyuki aage kya hoga iska idea iss baar mujhe bhi nahi hai..hahaha…
And I'm so happy ki abb atleast kuch logo ka gussa to kam hua…
GD: Na Na….kuch negatively nahi le rahi…but I hope u'll keep on suggesting me in future also… Solid reason bhi mil jayega…and it wasn't a murder attempt..had he not shoot him, they must have killed him…and plz plz, don't kill me…(awww…save me everyone…)hahaha…and yes, I don't actually know much about banking…so I kept that side short…par investigation me important part hota hai isiliye thora sa to dikhana hi para…baaki mujhe nahi lagta ki personal accounts ki transaction details office me jati hai…aur jati hai to bhi pata nahi…so, inn cheezo me kuch baate galat ho sakti hai…uske liye I'm sorry…I really don't have much idea about it all…and yes, sorry for disappointing u…this time I worked harder with my homework…batana kaisa hai…:)
