….

One more week passed like this and now Acp can sit and talk. His physiotherapy was going on and helping him in recovering soon. He was able to stand and walk a little as well. Daya and Abhijeet were really happy. Daya was finding it very hard to control his happiness in front of team but Abhijeet was getting anxious day by day. He was behaving happy in front of Daya but deep down he was feeling very much anxious. Not that he wasn't happy about Acp's recovery. Who wouldn't be happy seeing his father fit again. But he was feeling anxious when this bubble of lies will burst and how everybody will react.

One day

Abhijeet and Daya were there with Acp sir and telling him some jokes made by Freddy when they found Acp was in deep thoughts. Seeing this Daya looked at Abhijeet who asked –

Sir… kya baat h…aap kbse khoye hue h.

Acp Pradyuman – itne dino se dekh rha hun team mein koi mujhse milne bhi nhi aaya. Salunkhe bhi aaya.

Daya and Abhijeet looked at each other in tension.

Acp Pradyuman – Kya chupa rhe ho tum dono mujhse?

Daya (softly) – Sir sb theek h bureau mein. Salunkhe sir bhi theek h voh toh aajkl cases ki vajeh se sb busy…

Acp Pradyuman – DAYA!

Daya knew this was a lame excuse but still he tried. But he stopped hearing Acp's strong DAYA. He looked down.

Acp Pradyuman (looking at Abhijeet) – Abhijeet…kya chupa rhe ho tum dono mujhse?

Abhijeet (clearing his throat) – Sir…darasal baat ye h humne kisi ko aapne theek hone ka nhi btaya abhi tkk. Humne socha aap khud bureau chl kr sbko surprise…

Acp raised his hand and he got stopped immediately. Acp again asked

– is bar sirf sach aur kuch nhi.

Daya – Sir… Kisi ko kuchpta hi nhi h sir. Ye sb humne secret rkha… mtlb aapke zinda hone ka kisi ko nhi pta h.

Acp Pradyuman (shocked) – KYA!

Abhijeet (immediately) – Sir please… aap shanti se hmari baat suniye… Security reasons ki vajeh se ye bhut zroori tha. Hum kisi ko nhi bta skte the k aap zinda h… aap ek…ek saal se coma mein the. Hum ye baat leak nhi kr skte the…isliye.

Acp Pradyuman – HQ ko toh pta h na?

Daya (immidiately) – DIG sir ko pta h. Unka hi idea tha. isliye humne aapko yahan is ghar ki basement mein shift kiya.

Acp Pradyuman – Aur Salunkhe?

Daya nodded in No. Acp Pradyuman – Tum dono ka dimaag toh theek h.

Abhijeet –Sir aap please bilkul stress mat lijiye is baat ka. Jaise aap bilkul theek ho jayenge… hum log bureau jayenge. Sbko sach bta denge.

Acp Pradyuman – pagal hogye ho tum dono. Main bilkul theek hun aur hum aaj hi bureau jayenge.

He tried to get up but got dizzy and when he was about to fall Daya and Abhijeet held him immediately with a tensed call – Sir!

They made him sit on the bed and when he got relaxed he said – main theek hun bilkul. Ab chlo bureau…(interrupted)

Abhijeet (angry tone) – Aap kahin nhi jayenge.

Acp Pradyuman (shocked) – Abhijeet!

Abhijeet – aap is bed se pair niche nhi rkhenge smjhe aap. Aap tb tkk bureau nhi jayenge jb tkk Ashutosh aapko fitness certificate nhi de deta.

Acp Pradyuman – Tum mujhe nhi rok skte

Daya (angry tone) – bilkul rok skta h. aapne apni haalat dekhi h sir. Aap is haalat mein bureau aana chahte h. Sir hum aapko kahin nhi jaane denge jb tkk aap theek nhi ho jate…that's final.

Acp got silent after that. Not because he felt bad hearing angry tone. But hearing a concerned tone from his sons. These sons were taking care of him since an year and they have every right to scold his father when it's about his health. Being with each other for more than 10 years has given them this right that no one can take away. Further Acp was seeing both of them since the day he got up. Both were looking quite afraid to loose him again but the hearing this love filled angry tone made him feel really good. He smiled at them and said – acha theek h…jaisi tum dono ko marzi. Aur chinta mat kro…main theek hun.

Hearing this they got relaxed. They looked at each other and blinked their eyes as they successfully hid Acp's operation and expenses details.

Flashback:

It was a day after Acp Pradyuman came out of coma. Abhijeet and Daya were discussing the ongoing case when Daya said –

Boss Acp sir ko unke operation aur treatment ke baare mein kuch nhi btayenge. Voh bhut pareshan ho jayenge ye sb jaanke.

Abhijeet – Tumhe lgta h k hum unse kuch chupa payenge?

Daya (understanding tone) – Hmm… pr jb tkk voh puri tareh se theek nhi ho jaate tb tkk toh chupa hi skte h na…

Abhijeet nodded and said – Theek keh rhe ho tum… unke liye stress theek nhi h. hum unhe kuch nhi btayenge.

Abhijeet kept thinking – pura sach toh fr bhi baahr ayega Daya… pta nhi tum log kaise react kroge…aur Acp sir…

Flashback Over.

One day Daya and Abhijeet were having breakfast when Daya asked –

Abhijeet… ab toh Sir kaafi theek hogye h. Hme sir se pooch lena chahiye k unka konsa dushman unhe marna chahta tha jiska naam tumhe voh bta nhi paye the.

Hearing this Abhijeet started coughing. Daya immediately gave him water and started rubbing his back to sooth him while saying – Kya hogya yr… aaram se khao.

Abhijeet drank water while coughing and when he stopped he said – kuch nhi yr… shayd mirch zyada thi toh gale mein lg gyi.

Daya – Acha main keh rha tha k Acp sir se baat…

Abhijeet (interrupted him) – Daya abhi nhi krte h baat. Unhe ek bar bureau aa jane do fr baat krenge. Vaise bhi voh mujrim jail mein h. Aur Acp sir ko itni jldi is sab ka stress dena theek nhi hoga. Mere khayal se abhi bureau ki koi baat unse nhi krte h. Kisi baat se unhe stress hogya toh…

Daya – Tum theek keh rhe ho. Abhi kuch nhi poochte h.

Abhijeet got relaxed hearing this. Soon after finishing breakfast, Daya went too check Acp sir while Abhijeet stopped there to clean the table. As soon as Daya left he took a long and deep breath and started thinking –

Thank God Daya ne abhi tkk Acp sir se is baare mein baat nhi ki. Please Daya Acp sir se esi koi baat nhi krna jiska jawaab main na de payu tumhe. Lekin kb tkk. Aaj toh maine tumhe rok liya pr pta nhi kb konsi baat nikl aaye. Mujhe jld hi sb kuch khtam krna hoga.

While Abhijeet was thinking all this and lost track of time, he felt a tap on his shoulder and saw Daya standing there. Daya asked –

Kahan khoye hue ho Boss! Kb se bula rha hun.

Abhijeet – Kuch nhi yr…bs soch rha tha jb Acp sir bureau aange voh din kitni Khushi ka hoga.

Daya (smiled) – han Boss ye toh h… us din sb theek ho jayega. Dekhna Dr. Salunkhe aur tumhare beech ki draar bhi khtm ho jayegi.

Abhijeet laughed sarcastically at this and said – maine pehle bhi kaha tha Daya…That Ship has sailed. Is baare mein toh tum bhool hi jao. Ab chlo bureau jana h.

And they left for bureau. In the evening, Abhijeet came back early and first he checked on Acp sir who was still sleeping. He went to change his clothes and then made a light soup for Acp sir and coffee for himself. He went to the basement and saw Acp was up and reading a magazine. Seeing him coming Acp smiled at him and rested the magazine on table and said –

Aree Abhijeet…jldi aagye tum.

Abhijeet – han sir… aapke liye main soup bna ke laya hun. Aap soup pijiye aur main coffee pita hun.

Abhijeet settled the tray on table and sat on other chair. Abhijeet was looking down and having coffee silently. Acp looked at him while having soup and asked him –

Kya baat h Abhijeet? Kuch kehna chahte ho?

Abhijeet looked up and said in a little moist tone – I am sorry sir! Mujhe maaf kr dijiye.

Acp Pradyuman (shocked) – Abhijeet… tum maafi kis liye maag rhe ho… Kya hua?

Abhijeet – maine us din forensic lab mein aapse bhut badatmeezi se baat ki thi. Mujhe esa nhi krna tha. Pta nhi kya hogya tha us din mujhe.

Acp Pradyuman (softly) – Abhijeet…ye tum kya baaten lekr baithe ho apne dil mein. Bhool jao jo kuch hua aur mujhe toh bura bhi nhi lga tha us din.

Abhijeet (teary tone) – Kaise bhool jaun sir. Us din maine aapse akhri bar baat ki thi voh bhi itni berukhi se. Uske baad maine aapko us khayi mein behosh aur khoon se lathpath dekha. Aapki aawaz sunne ka intezaar kiya h maine ek saal tkk. Pta h sir jb aapke mission fail hone ki baat suni tbse se mere man mein ek hi baat chl rhi h…k meri aapse aakhri baat itni berukhi se hui. Main itna dar gya tha k ye soch kr k main aapse maafi bhi nhi maang paya aur aap (he stopped with a lump in his throat)

He took a deep breath to control and tightened his fist. Acp held his fist softly and opened it and said in soft tone –

Main tumse naraaz nhi tha Abhijeet. Main janta hun tum kabhi galat nhi ho skte. Apne dil mein itna bada bojh rkh kr mat jio Abhijeet. Asal mein galti meri hi thi. Maine bhi tumhara dil dukhaya h. Mujhe tumse baat krni chahiye thi… mujhe maaf…

Abhijeet (interrupted) – nhi sir… aap please maafi mat mangiye. Aap mujhe maaf kr dijiye. Main kabhi aap se ese baat nhi krunga. Kabhi aapse jhagda nahi krunga.

Acp just hugged him tightly. He didn't say anything but kept rubbing his back. He knew his son was so scared to loose him to hurt him. He just kept him in the hug for a while and said – bhool jao Abhijeet voh sb. Aur jhagda kro mujhse. Tumhara haq h mujhpr. Bs ab is sab ke bare mein dobara nhi sochoge tum kuch bhi.

He separated him from hug and Abhijeet cleared his eyes. In the mean time Daya appeared there and the conversation moved to a different topic.
