CHAPTER 1: THE DESTINY
Lucknow...
CID bureau...
The total bureau was filled with voices of the officers present there who were talking about the happy yet sad news said by their deary ACP...
A charming, handsome, well built, tall 28 years old young man of fair complexion wearing blue shirt and black jeans entered the bureau...
Upon seeing him all officers stopped their talks and then stood up from their place with...
The officers (simultaneously): Good morning Daya sir...
Yes...of course...the charming officer was none other than Daya...
He smiled broadly with...
Daya (in polite tone): Good morning...
He then moved towards his desk while the other officers looked at each other as if asking other to say the matter to Daya...
Daya who was keeping his belongings on the table noticed his fellow colleagues antics...
Daya (in polite tone): kya hua...mujh se kuch keha na hai tum logo ko...
One officer (immediately): haan sir...nahi...nahi...sir...kuch nahi...
Daya (in confusion): aree...kya haan...kya nahi...kuch hua hai kya...bolo...
Another officer (in low tone): sir...wo...aaj hume ek saath bahot acchi aur bahot buri khabar mili hai ACP sir se...
Daya frowned a bit with...
Daya (in a managed tone): accha...aur wo kya?
ACP of Lucknow CID...Ranveer entered the scene with...
ACP Ranveer (in polite tone): acchi khabar tho mai hi duga...
Seeing Ranveer coming everyone wished him...
Ranveer wished them back and moved towards Daya with...
ACP Ranveer (in happy tone): Congratulations Daya...tume promotion Mila hai...as Senior Inspector...aaj se tum Sr I Daya ho...
Daya was stunned hearing Ranveer's words...
He really didn't get how to react...
He got a promotion...He got a credit for his sincerity and hard work...
He was feeling so happy...
But at the same time suddenly his heart was filled with some void...
Yes...void...in our happiness we always think about the people we love the most...
Same wise Daya's heart started to think about some persons...
Unknowingly tears appeared in his eyes remembering the persons which he cleared immediately before anyone could notice it...
Daya plastered a smile on his face with...
Daya (in a managed tone): thank you so much sir...aapke Sikh aur guidance ke wajase hi yeh Mila hai mujhe...thank you so much...
Ranveer patted Daya's shoulder with...
ACP Ranveer (in proud tone): beta...yeh..tere mehnat...tere imandari ka pal hai...I know how hard you worked and still working...I am so happy...and...I am so proud of you my boy...
Saying this he hugged Daya in happiness...
Daya hugged back his mentor with...
Daya (in a sweet tone): thank you sir...thank you so much...
Suddenly he remembered about the bad news...
He separated himself from the hug with...
Daya (in polite tone): sir...wo bad news kya hai...
Ranveer's face tightened hearing that query...
He looked at his other officers who were looking at him with a gloomy face...
Ranveer pressed Daya's shoulder with...
ACP Ranveer (in soft tone): Daya...wo...bhi khush khabri hi hai...par humare liye nahi...
Daya (in worry): kya sir...
ACP Ranveer (in soft tone): tume promotion ke saath...saath...transfer bhi mila hai...to CID Mumbai...
Daya was taken aback hearing the term Mumbai...
Lots and lots of memories came to his mind as flashes hearing the single term...
His breath turned slightly irregular...
No...never...he couldn't go to Mumbai...
Mumbai was the place which he didn't even want to return even in his wildest dream...
Now destiny was calling him there...
No...He couldn't go there...
He while controlling his emotions...
Daya (in a managed tone): sir...sir...mujhe...mujhe...yeh promotion nahi chahiye sir...mai...yehi...issi post mai theek hu...mujhe Mumbai nahi jaana...
Ranveer and the other officers were taken aback hearing that...
ACP Ranveer (in a stammering tone): Daya...what you are saying...tum hosh Mai tho ho...
Daya (in managed tone): haan sir...I am totally in sense...mujhe yeh promotion nahi chahiye...
ACP Ranveer (in worry): but why?...tumare hard work ka credit hai beta...tum aise kaise...aur CID Mumbai...wahan kaam kar ne ke liye tho sab log taras the hai...tume...tume...wahan nahi jaana...aise kyu...Mumbai janne mai kya problem hai...haan...
Daya (in stammering tone): sir...wo...wo...kuch nahi sir...bas mujhe aap logo ko chod ke nahi jaana...
Ranveer made a disappointed face with...
ACP Ranveer (in soft tone): Daya...beta...I can understand your feelings...but beta...dekho...life mai aage badh the wakt kuch na kuch na piche chut hi jaatha hai...aur tab emotions ke nahi life ke baare mai soch na chahiye...manna ki hume bhi dukh hoge tum jaise acche insaan aur sacche officer ko jaane de ke...par yeh tumare career ka...life ka ek important turn hai...aur iss se muh modh le na... it's not good...samjhe rahe ho na...
Daya looked at his mentor for a while...
Yes...his mentor was right...
He had to focus on his career for which he worked hard...day and night...not on his emotions...
He couldn't let his past ruin the present...
He took a deep breath and then...
Daya (in managed tone): okay sir...mai tayyar hu Mumbai...Mumbai jaane ke liye...
Ranveer patted Daya's shoulder with...
ACP Ranveer (in proud tone): that's my boy...tum se yehi umeed tha mujhe...
He then produced the order copy in front of Daya with...
ACP Ranveer (in polite tone): yeh lo tere promotion aur transfer order...All the best Sr I Daya...CID lucknow ka naam roshan kar na...hmmm...
Daya nodded while accepting the order copy and smiled in nervousness...
Mumbai...
Khurana Mansion....
A man in his early 50's was sitting on the dining table while talking to someone over phone...
A lady of late 40's who was coming towards the dining table from the kitchen made a disappointed face seeing her husband antics...
She snatched the phone from his hand with...
The woman (in an annoyed tone): Atharv...kya hai...kitne baar kaha hai dining table phone allowed nahi hai...haan...
Atharv (in sweet tone): yaar Bhoomi...please...bas ek hi phone call...ek...
Bhoomika (in firm tone): bikul nahi Atharv...chup chap khana Khao...phir milega phone...
Atharv made a grumpy face and started to have breakfast with a sad face...
Atharv's mother Gayatri...a old lady of early 70's who was seeing everything entered the scene with...
Gayatri (in tease): areee...wahh...Bhoomi...kya baat hai...matlab...mere beta...bina phone paye lage huye acche bacche ke tara khana kha raha hai...aaj sooraj kahan se nikal aaya bhai...
Bhoomi chuckled while Atharv made a extra annoyed face with...
Atharv (in an annoyed tone): Maa...please...aapko apne Bahu ke tarif kar na hai tho...seedhe seedhe hi kijiye na...sooraj ko kyu bich Mai laa rahe ho...
Gayatri (in tease): Bhoomi...lag tha hai koi kuch jyada hi jhel raha hai...bahot jyada jel ne ke badbu aarahi hai...hai na...
Bhoomika laughed out while Atharv made a fuming face...
Gayatri smiled in disappointment with...
Gayatri (in casual tone): waise bacche kahan...
She stopped abruptly hearing the voice of her grandson...
Yes...her grandson...A dashing, handsome 28 years old young man of dark complexion wearing a casual track wear was coming downstairs while talking to someone over the phone as...
The young man (in an annoyed tone): Dev...stop it yaar...maine keha diya na...I can't...
Bhoomika turned restless in seconds seeing her son coming like this...
She was about to shout something but Atharv held her hand with a gentle no...
Bhoomika tried to say something but Atharv again assured her through eyes...
The young man cut the call and came towards the dining table with an annoyed face...
Seeing his family members gaze over him he changed his facial expression into a normal one immediately with...
The young man (in a soft tone): Good morning...everyone...
The trio exchanged a glance with...
The trio (in chorus): Good morning Abhijeet...
Yes...the dashing young man was none other than Abhijeet...
Abhijeet smiled and sat on the chair silently...
Gayatri while looking upstairs...
Gayatri (in a firm tone): Abbu...Naina...kahan hai...
Abhijeet who was about to drink water stopped in nervousness...
Abhijeet (in a managed tone): Dadi...wo...wo...Sweety...bas 5 minute Mai aarahi hai...
Bhoomika (in an annoyed tone): matlab Aaj bhi late...iss ladki ka kya kare...
Atharv (in pacifying tone): areee...yaar...aajayegi..bacchi hai wo...aur...
Bhoomika (in stern tone): accha...bacchi hai...Atharv...don't forget...ki tere ladli...schooling khatam kar chuki hai...aur ab college jaarahi hai...wo bhi business management...par madam abhi tak time management hi nahi aarahi hai...
Atharv was about to say something but stopped hearing a voice of their young daughter...a 18 year old teenage girl...Naina came downstairs in a hurry with...
Naina (in a hurry): Good morning Mumma...Papa...Dadi...Bhai...
Everyone smiled in disappointment and muttered a low morning as they knew she just said that to notify her arrival...
As they thought Naina sat on the chair and then started to have breakfast in haste...
Bhoomika nodded her head in disappointment while Atharv...
Atharv (in concern): Sweety...dheere Khao...
Naina (in a hurry): nahi Papa...it's getting late...
Abhijeet (in teasing tone): itna bhi late nahi ho...matlab...aaj for the first time 5 minute pehale hi aagaye ho tum...so just chill...
Naina made a fuming face and was about to say something but Bhoomika interrupted as...
Bhoomika (in firm tone): ab sirf khana khaoge tho behtar hoga...nahi tho pakka maar hi khaoge...samjhe...
Naina made a grumpy face and looked at her father for support...
Atharv was about to defend his daughter but it was interrupted by a voice from outside as...
A voice (in loud tone): sir...post...
Abhijeet's face lid a bit hearing that...
He was about to get up with...
Abhijeet (in soft tone): mai...jaake...dekh tha hu...
But his sister Naina got up with...
Naina (in a hurry): bhai...aap rukho...mai hi dekhugi...
Saying this she rushed outside without giving any chance for Abhijeet to talk...
Abhijeet nodded his head in disappointment while Naina came back within a few seconds with...
Naina (in low tone): bhai...aapko hi aana hai...aapke liye hi registered post aayi hai...
Abhijeet who expected the same chuckled dramatically and moved out to collect the post...
Naina made an annoyed face and moved towards the dining table with hard steps...
Abhijeet came back in a few minutes with a happy face...
Seeing his happy face...
Atharv (in a curious tone): Abbu...kya aaya hai post mai...
Abhijeet (in happy tone): Papa...wo...mere training order hai...6 mahine Mai...I am going to be a CID officer...
Everyone's face except Naina's face tightened by hearing Abhijeet's words...
Naina made an excited face and moved towards her brother to congratulate him...
Atharv somehow managed his facial expression within a few seconds and moved towards Abhijeet with...
Atharv (in a managed tone): congratulations mere tiger...jaise entrance exam mai top kiya waise hi training mai bhi top kar na...theek hai...
Abhijeet (in happy tone): sure Papa...
Bhoomika while looking at Gayatri who was sitting with an annoyed face...
Bhoomika (in a managed tone): Abbu...training kahan paye hai...
Abhijeet (in polite tone): Mumma...Delhi mai...6 mahine ka training hai...Parso report kar na hai Delhi mai...
Bhoomika (in a managed tone): accha...(after a pause)...Abbu...beta...are you sure..matlab...tum...pakka...tum Jaa rahe ho...
Atharv made a disappointed face hearing his wife's query while Abhijeet looked at his mother with an unsaid expression...
He knew the meaning behind his mother's unsure query...
He signed and was about to reply but Atharv interrupted as...
Atharv (in a managed tone): Abbu...parso jaana hai na...tho...tum jao...packing wagera sab kar na shurur karo...jao...
Abhijeet nodded and moved towards his room without saying anything...
Atharv (in disappointment): Bhoomi...kya yaar...yeh sawal ab jaruri tha?
Bhoomika (in defending tone): Atharv...aap samjh nahi rahe hai...I am just trying to make sure that...
Atharv (interrupted as): I know...but...
Gayatri (in an annoyed tone): Atharv...tume nahi lag tha ki Abhijeet iss mamle mai kuch jyada hi manmani kar raha hai...
Atharv (in defending tone): Maa...aap...
Gayatri (in an annoyed tone): tere saath mil ke humare business samal ne ke alawa kya kya kiye jaa raha hai tere ladla...haan...pehale wo...ab yeh...pehale jo kiya wo tho mai chod diya...par yeh...CID ka kaam...
Atharv (in firm tone): Maa...please...usse jo theek Lage wo kar ne de the hai na...kya hojaatha... business samal ne ke liye...mai hu...Bhoomi hai...Amar hai...aur...
Naina (interrupted as): Papa...mai bhi tho hu...bhool gaye...
Atharv smiled with...
Atharv (in soft tone): aree...aapko kaise bhool jau...mere Sweety bhi tho hai...
Gayatri (tried as): par Atharv...
Atharv (in serious tone): Maa...aap ne dekha na...kitna khush hai wo...itne saalo baad humara baccha kissi baat ko leke khush horaha hai...(in sad tone)...warna wo tho muskurana tak bhool gaya tha na...
Bhoomika's eyes turned teary in seconds...
Gayatri tried to speak but Atharv stopped her with...
Atharv (in firm tone): nahi Maa...mera beta khush hai...mere liye wahi kaafi hai...aur aap acchi se jaan the hai ki mai usske khushi ke liye kuch bhi karuga..(stressing)...kuch bhi...issliye...aaj ke baad iss baare mai koi baat nahi hoga iss ghar mai...bas...and that's final...
Saying this he turned towards Naina with...
Atharv (in firm tone): chalo Sweety...aapko college chod de tha hu...Bhoomi tum bhi aajao...office ke liye late horahe hai...
Saying this Atharv marched out of the house followed by Naina...
Gayatri moved towards Bhoomika with...
Gayatri (in worry): Bhoomi...samjao na isse...yeh aise...
Bhoomika (in a teary tone): kya samjhao Maa mai...kya samjhao...wo sahi tho keha raha hai...aur waise bhi humare bacche aaj aise hai tho wo mere wajase hi hai na...
Saying this she too moved out of the house without giving any chance for Gayatri to speak...
Gayatri signed deeply and moved towards her room leaving everything to the destiny...
On the other side....
Abhijeet entered his room and locked it behind...
The smile he was plastering till then vanished unknowingly...
He himself didn't get whether was happy or not...
He was having a mixed feelings...
He was neither happy nor excited with this news...he was just desperate...
Yes... Desperate...He was desperately waiting for 6 months to get finished and he would become a CID officer...
He moved towards his desk and took a photograph on it with...
Abhijeet (in low tone): bas...6 mahine aur...Rock star...bas 6 mahine aur...
He caressed the photograph lovingly with a teary eyes...
His eyes suddenly fell over one thing on the desk...
He just placed his fingers over it with...
Abhijeet (in low tone): I know...mai tumare saath Naa insaafi kar raha hu...par...tum tho Jaan the ho na ki isse badh ke kuch bhi nahi hai mere jindagi mai...tum bhi isske wajase ho aur mai bhi...phir bhi...I am sorry...
He took a deep breath and started to clear his eyes with...
Abhijeet (in low tone): chalo...jaane ke tayyari kar the hai...
6 months later....
Mumbai....
At Daya's house....
Daya was sleeping but his sleep didn't seem to be peaceful...
The sweat beads had appeared on his forehead and he was changing his sides in a restless manner...
He was frowning and murmuring something under the breath in sleep...
Everything was clearly indicating that he was seeing a bad dream...
Yes...a bad dream...a night mare...
He was getting many random visions...
He could hear a voice which was filled with disbelief, anger and hurt as...
"Tum aise kaise kar sakthe ho usske saath...kaise kar sakthe ho aise...why the hell did you do this damn it...why..."
He could hear another hate filled voice as...
"Yeh bikul apne baap paye gaye ho...uss ghatiya insaan paye..."
He could again hear the first voice as...
"Jao...Mere aanko ke samne se...Jaooooo...just gooooo..."
Then he could see a dark room...
He could hear a fear filled voice as...
"Please darwaza kholo...bahot andhera hai yahan...bahot dar lag raha hai...bahot dar...mujhe jaane do...please..."
Then he heard a hate filled voice as...
"Maar do isse...body tak nahi mil na chahiye"
Then he could see a bridge above a ocean...
Then a loud screaming voice and then a splash...
Daya opened his eyes in jerk and got up in a force as usual with...
Daya (in a loud tone): nahiiiiiiiii...
Yes...as usual...It was his daily routine of waking up...
Daily he was waking up from sleep seeing the same night mare...
Even though he was visualising them daily...
Every day... every time...it was shaking him to the core...
Daya looked here and there while breathing heavily...
His sinuses were so irregular and his head was also aching like hell...
He held his head tightly and then started to take deep breaths to control his irregular sinuses...
After a few minutes of struggle with his restless mind he became a little normal...
But the headache didn't go down as usual...
He while pressing his forehead took the pain killer bottle from the side table and gulped a pill with water...
He tiredly looked at the clock which was showing 3 o'clock...
He signed and got up from the bed as he knew that the sleep was far away from him now...
At the same time....
In the khurana Mansion....
Abhijeet was half lying on the bed while reading a book...
He made an annoyed face and closed the book with...
Abhijeet (in an annoyed tone): aaj tu bhi saath nahi de rahe ho na...jaa...
He hardly put his night companion on the side table...
Yes...the night companion...whenever he had a sleepless night this book has been a companion throughout the night...
But...today...the companion couldn't give a proper company...
Because the reason for sleeplessness was not the usual one today...
Today he was desperately waiting for the morning to come...
Yes...for the morning...Finally after 6 months training he was going to join CID duty as a officer tomorrow...
Already he wouldn't sleep much...or to say more probably he couldn't sleep much...
But today because of the desperation the sleep didn't even touch his eyes...
Abhijeet glanced at the clock with...
Abhijeet (in an annoyed tone): sirf 3 bajh raha hai...yeh time itna slow kyu Jaa Raha hai...abhi tho subha hone mai aur 3 ghante baccha hai...arghhh...
He removed the blanket in irritation and moved towards the balcony...
Upon opening the door to the balcony...the cool breeze dashed over him in a gentle manner...
The cool breeze gave him a sudden unknown soothe...
Unknowingly a relaxed smile creeped in his face...
He gripped the railing and started to look around pointlessly...
Unintentionally his eyes fell over the moon...seeing which his soothing expression turned into an irritated one...
Abhijeet (in an annoyed tone): yaar...aaj tum thoda jaldi nahi jaa sakthe...please na...jaldi se jao...aur sooraj ko bejo...tabhi tho mai kal...CID bureau jaa saktha hu...officer bann ke...
He smiled sadly in his own words and started to talk with himself with...
Abhijeet (in sarcastic tone): tum aur officer...thoda ajeeb nahi hai..(after a pause)...nahi..(exaggerated tone)...bahot jyada ajeeb hai...anyways...All the best...
He patted his own shoulder and again gripped the railing while signing deeply...
Here the chapter ends...
What will happen now? Why didn't Daya want to come to Mumbai? What had happened in Mumbai with him? Why was Abhijeet's family not happy with his job in CID? Why is Abhijeet himself not happy only desperate? What about Daya's dream? What do they mean? Did they indicate a dreadful past? Why Abhijeet was feeling weird for himself being an officer? What was going in his mind?
Stay tuned to know the answers...
I am waiting for your precious feedback...
Please read and review...
keep smiling...
bye..
