The evidence was saying that I am the culprit...My blank brain and helpless heart too started to believe it...

But what if I am a victim...

Wait...

Who am I?...The Culprit or Victim...


CHAPTER 2: THE MYSTERY


Daya frowned in agitation and then started to follow the blood trail in total restlessness...

After covering a few distances Daya recognized the place...

Daya (in stammering tone): yeh tho basement ke taraf jaa raha hai...

The trail entered the basement as expected...

Daya too entered the basement following the trail...

He went downstairs while turning on his phone torch as the basement was dipped in darkness...

Upon covering a few steps Daya noticed a pool of blood...

Daya's heart started to beat hard seeing that...

He tilt the phone upward with trembling hands to see from where the blood was coming...

Upon seeing the source of blood Daya's eyes widened in shock...

His breath stopped for a second while the phone slipped from his hand...

He became totally numb...

Only word escaped his mouth as...

Daya (in a stammering tone): Abhijeet...

Yes...Abhijeet...he was lying on the cold floor in his own pool of blood with a closed eyes...

The blood was coming out profusely from his abdomen and head...

A coat was tied around his waist which has already turned almost red...

Daya revived himself from the shock and rushed towards his brother with...

Daya (in loud tone): Abhijeet...

Daya started to pat Abhijeet's cheek with...

Daya (in stammering tone): Abhijeet...Boss...aanke kholo...Abhijeet...

Abhijeet didn't respond back...

Daya (in teary tone): Boss...please...yaar...aise mat kar mere bhai...aanke kholo...please wake up...

But there was no response from Abhijeet's side...

Daya's heart gripped with fear of losing his brother...

He already lost his one brother and now he couldn't afford to lose his another brother...his lifeline ...

He started to jerk Abhijeet badly with...

Daya (in fear): please Boss...utho jao...mai maar jauga tha tere bina...please..utho yaar...

By the time ACP and others rushed towards the basement hearing Daya's loud voice...

Dur to the darkness they couldn't see anything...

They turned on the torch light and started to move forward...

Upon getting the room illuminated they became shell shocked seeing Abhijeet's condition...

They all rushed towards Abhijeet in fear...

ACP (in fear): Abhijeet...

Daya looked at ACP in fear with...

Daya (in a teary tone): sir...sir...yeh...yeh...dekhiye...isse...yeh...yeh...aanke nahi khol raha hai sir...

ACP's heart too started to beat hard in fear seeing his son's condition...

But...He while holding his emotions and breath...checked the pulse in Abhijeet's wrist...

His breath got released upon feeling something...

Yes...he could feel a pulse...Even though it was feeble...it was a indication of the persistence of the soul...life...which still didn't give up...

ACP (in stammering tone): Daya...pulse hai...pulse hai...utho isse...

After sometimes...

At hospital...

ACP was walking here and there in extreme tension while constantly looking at the OT door...

Freddy, Rajat and Purvi were standing with a worried yet fear filled face...while others were still at the crime spot in order to complete their duty...

Daya was sitting on the bench outside the OT with a devastated face...

He was totally broken by the back to back storm blown on his life that too in a single night...

He lost one friend and another one was fighting for life...

He really didn't get how to react to this dreadful situation...

Daya (pov): kuch...kuch...ghante pehale tho sab kuch theek tha...maine hi ghar choda na Abhijeet ko...phir yeh...

His memory lane shifted back to incident happened a few hours ago...

Flashback...

After a long tiring day Duo were returning from the bureau...

Daya was driving the car while humming the song playing in the music player happily...

Abhijeet who was sitting in the passenger seat noticing his brother's antics...

Abhijeet (in polite tone): kya baat hai yaar...bahot khush lag rahe ho...

Daya (in happy tone): areee...Boss...khush kaise naa ho yaar...finally 3 din baad mai aachi se souga na aaj...

Yes...the last 3 days went so tiring for the whole CID team...

2 cases were reported at a same time and because of which they didn't even get proper time to eat...

Finally the cases got solved and they all got a off as it was Sunday tomorrow...

Abhijeet (in agreement): haan yaar...wo tho hai...sach mai...yeh 2 case ne tho 3 dino se dimaag aur sharir dono ko bahot jyada kha liya...ufff...

Daya chuckled out hearing his brother's words and then...

Daya (in curious tone): waise kal kya plan hai Boss...

Abhijeet (in casual tone): areee...yeh bhi koi sawal huyi...obviously...tera jo plan hai wahi mera bhi...that's it...

Daya (in naughty tone): haan...haan...mujhe patha hai...par socha...ki ek formality ke liye puch lu...

Abhijeet smiled in disappointment with...

Abhijeet (in tease): tum aur tumare formality...dramebaaz...

Daya smiled proudly with....

Daya (in soft tone): okay phir...Boss...kal na...hum pehale jogging paye jaathe hai...phir...

He started to explain his instant made plan in total excitement...

Abhijeet was just nodding to everything silently...

Daya who noticed that...

Daya (in tease): ab kya sar ko aise hilathe rahoge ya kuch bologe bhi ...

Abhijeet (in teasing tone): Mere bol ne ya na bol ne se kya farak padh tha...haan...tum tho yehi karoge...aur karwaoge bhi...kyu...

Daya grinned innocently while Abhijeet nodded his head in disappointment with...

Abhijeet (in casual tone): theek hai...ab plan bann gaya hai tho ek kaam kar the hai...Vikram ko bhi bula le the hai...

Daya's face turned into an annoyed one hearing Vikram's name...

Daya (in a sarcastic tone): Vikram ko...uss duffer scientist ko...haan...haan...bula lo...bula lo...bula the hi jaise wo aajaatha...

Abhijeet (in soft tone): kya yaar...tum..

Daya (in an annoyed tone): Boss...bhool gaye..ki...pichale baar kya hua tha...ussne...hume aur humare plan ko literally bhool hi gaya tha....

Abhijeet (in defending tone): yaar...uss ne kaha tho tha ki kaam Mai phas gaya tha...phir bhi tum...

Daya (in irritation): haan...haan...patha hai...patha hai...kaam tha...par at least phone kar nahi baata saktha tha ki nahi aa pauga...haan...hum kitne der intezaar kar rahe the usske liye...hume...muskhil ke ek din Mila tha...usse bhi...pura waste kar diya uss ne...aur tum ho ki...

Abhijeet tried to speak but Daya interrupted as...

Daya (in an annoyed tone): nahi tum reha ne do...mujhe patha tha ki tum humesha ki tara uss idiot ka side loge...tum na...aaj kal...mujh se jyada usske dost bann the jaa rahe ho...humesha ussko hi support kar the reha the ho...aur mai yeh accept nahi kar saktha...

Abhijeet chuckled hearing his brother's silly complaint...

Daya (in firm tone): haso mat...I am serious...tum pehale mere bhai ho...baad mai hi usske dost...samjhe...

Abhijeet (in surprise): Daya...seriously...matlab...tum...

Daya (interrupted in stern tone as): haan...mai possessive hu...kyu...koi problem hai tume...

Abhijeet laughed out seeing his brother's cute angry face...

He pulled out his brother's cheeks with...

Abhijeet (in sweet tone): awwww...mera bhai kitna cute hai...so cute...

Daya removed his cheek from Abhijeet's grip and started to rub it with...

Daya (in pain): kya yaar...itne zor se koi khich tha hai kya?...

Abhijeet (in sweet tone): ab mere bhai itna cute hoga tho mai kya karu...

Daya (in tease): accha...cute hoga tho gal khich khich ke saare cuteness ko khatam kar doge...

Abhijeet (in defending tone): areee...yeh tho pyaar hai bhai...

Daya (in tease): accha...pyaar...Boss...pyaar dikha ne ke tho aur bhi tareeka hai...

Abhijeet (in tease): accha...wo kya?

Daya (in a naughty tone): wo kuch nahi..bas...mere liye khana banno...kapte do...kamre saaf Karo...aur...

Abhijeet's jaw dropped hearing Daya's words...

He stopped him with...

Abhijeet (in a hurry): bas...bas...agar yehi tareeka hai tho mujhe tume pyaar kar na hi nahi hai...jao...

Daya laughed out seeing Abhijeet's fear filled face with...

Daya (while laughing): dekha...4 kaam de the hi hogaya na pyaar khatam...hahahaha...(in tease)...aaye bade pyaar kar ne wala...

Abhijeet gave him a fuming gaze while Daya started to laugh more...

Seeing Daya laughing Abhijeet too started to laugh...

Soon they reached Abhijeet's home...

Abhijeet got down from the car and was about to move towards his home but returned back with...

Abhijeet (in a fake serious tone): waise...Daya...yeh khana baana aur kamre saaf kar na tho theek hai...par tere kapte nahi douga mai...wo tum hi kar le na...theek hai...good night...bye...

Saying this he moved towards his home leaving an amused Daya behind...

Flashback ends...

Tears started to flow from his eyes remembering the beautiful moments that happened just a few hours ago...

He covered his face in extreme tension and helplessness...

The ACP who noticed Daya's condition came towards him...

He sat beside him and wrapped him in a side hug with...

ACP (in pacifying tone): gabaro mat Daya...Abhijeet ko kuch nahi hoga...

Daya looked up at ACP in tears with...

Daya (in a stammering tone): sir...mujhe kuch samjh nahi aaraha ki...yeh...sab...sab...aise kaise...hogaya...Vikram chala gaya...aur Abhijeet aise...iss halat mai...

ACP rubbed Daya's shoulder without saying anything...

Soon the OT bulb got turned off and a doctor came out of the OT with an anxious expression...

Daya, ACP and others gathered around the doctor with a fear filled face...

Seeing the doctor silent Daya while gripping his emotions initiated as...

Daya (in a stammering yet fear filled tone): Doctor...Abhijeet...Abhijeet...kaisa hai?...wo theek tho hai na...

The doctor looked at him with guilty eyes with...

Doctor (in low tone): I am sorry sir...hum ne bahot khoshsis kiya tha...par...

ACP (in desperate tone): par kya...

Doctor (in a stammering tone): sir...hum unne baccha nahi paye...your officer...is counting his last few minutes sir...

Everyone was taken aback by hearing the doctor's words...

Daya became totally numb out of shock...

He really didn't know how to react...

He couldn't even imagine a life without his brother...

Suddenly he felt like all his energy got drained and his legs had gone numb...

His sinuses turned irregular...

He started to take back steps with...

Daya (in trance): nahi...aise nahi...hosaktha...no...

While saying this itself he was about to fall but Freddy and Rajat held him tightly with...

Freddy and Rajat (in chorus): sir...

They both made him sit on the bench with...

Rajat (in worry): aap...aap...theek hai sir...

Daya who was totally dumped by the shock didn't react back...

He continued to talk in trance as...

Daya (in trance): mere bhai mujhe chod ke nahi jaa saktha...nahi jaa saktha wo...nahi...

ACP (in worry): Freddy..paani leke aao...jaldi...

Freddy nodded and rushed to take water...

The doctor who was silent till then came forward with...

The doctor (in pacifying tone): dekhiye sir...mai samjh saktha hu aap ka dukh...par...please sama liye khud ko... Abhijeet ji ke paas bas kuch hi time baccha hai...issliye unse jaake mil lijiye...

Hearing the doctor's words Daya felt a sudden rage...

He stood up and moved towards the doctor with...

Daya (in anger): kaise Doctor hai aap...kuch time baccha hai ki kya matlab hai...haan...aap se nahi hoga tho keha dijiye hum dusre...

ACP stopped Daya with...

ACP (in pacifying tone): Daya...shant hojao...kya kar rahe ho tum...

Daya (in a teary tone): sir...yeh aise kaise keha diya ki...Abhijeet...nahi...

ACP pressed Daya's shoulder who turned towards the other side as he couldn't control his overflowing emotions...

ACP (in a teary tone): Doctor...kuch kijiye na...itne jaldi haar kaise mann sakthe hai aap...

The doctor (in helpless tone): sir...bahot blood loss ho chuka hai...sar ke chot itna gehra nahi hai...par...abdomen mai lage gaav...unnone khud paye 3 baar chaku se vaar kiya hai...uss mai 2 kaafi gehara hai...aur...issliye operation baad bhi internal bleeding rokh nahi raha hai...aur...

The doctor stopped abruptly realizing what he uttered in flow...

He thought that he would disclose the truth afterwards because he didn't want to hurt them all more but now...

Everyone looked at the Doctor in a jerk hearing his words...

ACP and Daya looked at the doctor in disbelief...

ACP (in utter confusion): kya kaha aap ne...Abhijeet ne...khud paye vaar...

The doctor turned nervous but tried to manage with...

The doctor (in a stammering tone): sir...wo...chodiye...pehale aap...log...

ACP (interrupted in distress as): Doctor...please..kuch mat chupayiye...saaf saaf baatayiye ki baat hai kya...

The doctor closed his eyes in distress and then signed deeply with...

The doctor (in a stammering tone): sir...wo...Abhijeet ji ne hi khud paye vaar kiya hai chaku se...wo bhi 3 baar...

Everyone's eyes and ears popped out hearing the doctor's confession...

No one could believe their own ears...

Daya who was already so much devastated couldn't digest the doctor's words...

Freddy who came back with the water became stunned...

The glass fell off his hands and broke into pieces...

The broken sound of the glass breaks everyone's trance...

Rajat (in disbelief): aapka keha ne ka...matlab..hai ki...sir...ne...suicide...

The doctor signed and nodded yes with...

The doctor (in low tone): lag tho aise hi raha hai...par...

Before he could complete his words Daya held the doctor's collar in rage with...

Daya (in an angry tone): kya bakwas kar rahe ho...haan...tere himmat kaise huyi aise bol ne ke ki mere bhai ne...how dare you...paise de ke degree liya hai kya...haan...

The doctor while struggling to free himself from Daya's grip...

The doctor (in a stammering tone): sir...yeh kya kar rahe hai aap...please...come to sense...leave me...

Rajat and ACP revived themselves from the shock and pulled out Daya with...

ACP (in a loud yet angry tone): Daya...kya kar rahe ho...pagal hogaye ho kya?...

Daya (in anger): pagal mai nahi...yeh doctor hogaya hai...Abhijeet aur suicide...kya bakwas hai yeh...Abhijeet aise kabhi nahi kar saktha...aur yeh aap bhi jaan the hai sir...par yeh aadmi tho...

ACP (in stern tone): Daya...bas...hosh Mai aao...doctor hai wo...(turned towards the doctor with)...sorry Doctor...wo Daya ne...

The doctor (interrupted in polite tone as): it's ok sir...I can understand...par...dekhiye...gaav ne jo baataya wahi mai aap logo baata raha hu...yeh suicide hai ya nahi...yeh mujhe bhi nahi patha...aap samjh rahe ho na mere baat...

ACP nodded in understanding while Daya looked at the doctor in pain and hurt...

The doctor (in guilt): I know aap logo ke liye yeh baat ko accept kar na bahot muskhil hoga...issliye hi maine socha ki baad mai baata du...par...patha nahi kaise...

He was forced to stop abruptly when a junior doctor rushed towards him from the OT with...

The junior doctor (in tension): Doctor Vijay...the patient is sinking...

Daya, ACP and others jerked hearing that while Dr Vijay rushed inside the OT in a hurry...

Gathering their left over energy ACP, Daya and others too rushed inside the OT following Dr Vijay...
