Hi guys… back with a new chapter. Tried to show some Acp Abhi moments in there… Please read and review and let me know what you liked and what not.
…
Acp looked at him with tears in his eyes and said in a lost tone – us bache ne mere liye apni maa ki aakhri nishani… uska ghar bech diya Salunkhe!
Salunkhe (stunned) – KYA!
There was silence for some moments. Both couldn't speak for a moment. Recovering from shock Salunkhe managed to say –
Pradyuman…dekho Boss tumhe galatfehmi hui h… voh esa nhi kr skta.
Acp Pradyuman – usne esa kiya h Salunkhe!
Salunkhe – Tum itne yakeen ke sath kaise keh skte ho
Acp Pradyuman – Tu soch Salunkhe… itne saare paise Abhijeet aur Daya ke paas kahan se ayenge. Abhi maine uske informer ko phone kiya tha jo uski maa keg hr ke paas chai ki tapri lgata tha. Abhijeet ne use wahan rkha tha ghr ki hifazat ke liye. Voh pichle 5-6 mahino se wahan nhi h… uska bhai bhi gaon chla gya h. mtlb kya h is baat ka… Abhijeet wahan nhi reh rha h… informer hta diya h…mtlb usne mere ilaaj ke liye apna ghar bech diya h.
Us din bhi jb Abhijeet hme lene bureau aaya tha…us din bhi dekha tha maine. Us gali ke paas aate hi uske chehre pr ek dard ka saaya tha…lekin usne turant khud ko sambhal liya. (standing up) chal mere sath.
Salunkhe – Kahan?
Acp Pradyuman didn't reply anything but dragged Salunkhe with him picking up car keys from chester. Salunkhe sat on the passenger seat and Pradyuman was on driving seat. He drove the car in speed. Soon they reached their destination which was none other than Abhijeet's mother's house. They came out of the car and saw the name plate and got that what they were thinking was absolutely right.
Salunkhe was stunned to see this. He looked at Pradyuman with painful expressions on his face and said –
Ek voh tha jisne tumhe bchane ke liye apna ghar apna career sb kuch daanw pr lga diya aur ek main tha jisne kabhi usse theek se baat tkk nhi ki. Voh tumhe bchaane ke liye roz pareshaan hota tha hr roz mar rha tha aur maine usee jeene layak nhi choda. Maine uska jeena mushkil kr diya tha Pradyuman. Kya -2 nhi kaha maine usee.
(Turning his face to other side) us din bhree hospital ke saamne maine use thapad mara tha. Hr waqt maine use tumhari maut ka zimmedar thehraya jbki voh toh tumhe zindagi de rha tha. Ek bar bhi palat kr usne ye nhi kaha k Salunkhe jiski maut ka hawala dekr tum mujhe roz zaleel kr rhe ho main usi ko toh bcha rha hun.
Usne mujhe CID chodne se rok liya. Aur main tb bhi… maine toh kabhi ye smjhne tkk ki koshish nhi ki k agr use esa sb krna hota toh mujhe CID mein voh kyu rehne deta. Maine use ek saal mein itna kosa h Pradyuman k iske baad main usse maafi toh kya uske saamne aane ke bhi kabil nhi hun.
Acp just kept a hand on his shoulder. He too couldn't say anything. Actually he didn't have any words for Abhijeet's sacrifice. They left from there in silence. They reached home and Salunkhe left from there to his own house in silence. While Acp just left to his room and closed it. He changed into comfortable clothes and when about to sit in front of his window, a photo attracted his sight. He took the photo in his hand and sat in front of window. It was a photo which Ashutosh clicked it when he got conscious for the first time. He first time looked at Abhijeet's eyes in this photo today. Or it was the first time when he got the different and deep meaning in Abhijeet's eyes in that photo. The deep meaning of selfless love care concern respect sacrifice giving up everything for someone else no not someone else for some closer to heart to whom Abhijeet considered as father. Father! He never behaved like one. Where was he when Abhijeet was badly accused and insulted by his best friend. He stood silent and did nothing when he himself knew everything (giraftaar series) He himself given orders to arrest Abhijeet when he was innocent (cop ya qatil).
Galti hogyi mujhse Abhijeet ko ye case dekr
Yaad h tumne isko dhamki di thi k tum ise maar doge
Daya ko maut ke muh mein chod ke kaise aagye tum Abhijeet
Daya tum bhulo mat tum apne dost pr nhi ek khooni pr nazar rakh rhe ho.
He looked at the photo and faired his hand on Abhijeet's face and thought –
Salunkhe kya… uski maafi ke kabil toh main bhi nhi hun. Kyu Abhijeet…kyu mujhse itna pyar krte ho tum. Itna pyar mat kro mujhse k main apni nazaron mein hi gir jaun.
Tumne apni maa ki aakhri nishani… apni tanahai ke saathi ko meri vajeh se kho diya. Han main janta hun…tum kabhi btate nhi… pr main janta hun k tum wahan jaate ho. Apni tanhai chupane… apni maa se baat krne… jb tum Daya se bhi baat nhi kr paate tum vhi jaate ho. Mere liye tumne khud ko akela kr liya.
Rajat ko jaan boojh kr laaye tum yahan… k agar tum hmesha ke liye bhi terminate ho jayo main aur Daya akele na pad jaaye. Jaan boojh kr tumne use Daya ke sath rkha bureau mein k tumhare jaane ke baad Rajat aur Daya bilkul vaise hi case solve kre jaise tum dono krte the.
He pressed his teary eyes and took a deep breath.
Abhijeet was sitting in his hall and was reading a book when doorbell rang. He looked at the time it was 11 PM and got confused –
Is waqt kaun aagya. Daya toh nhi hoga…usse toh aaj sham ko hi mila main.
He kept his book aside and left to open the door. He opened the door and got shocked to see the visitor –
Sir… aap is waqt yahan.
Acp Pradyuman (disappointed tone) – Kyu tumhari society mein 10 bje ke baad No entry h kya?
Abhijeet – Nhi sir… esi koi baat nhi h… aap aayiye na ander.
Abhijeet gave his space to enter and Acp looked at Abhijeet's eyes and could see concern love respect care and what not in those confused eyes. He looked in the hall and went ahead while Abhijeet closed the door. Abhijeet was coming towards him when Acp tripped with the sofa leg and when about to fall on ground two protective arms saved him from falling and held him from shoulders to prevent him from falling.
A concerned call fell on his ears as Sir… aap theek h! while he was just feeling the love of a son in those protective arms. He held Abhijeet's hand like never want to leave it and said with a smile – Tum ho toh mujhe kuch ho skta h kya!
Abhijeet got confused hearing this and said – Sir!
Acp Pradyuman (handling himself) – main theek hun… Couch se takra gya tha bs.
Abhijeet left him and said – aap baithiye main paani leke aata hun.
Acp nodded and saw him going. He really controlled himself at that time from hugging Abhijeet. He knew this unexpected hug would alert Abhijeet and if he says anything it could hurt Abhijeet. If he brings up that issue it would definitely going to hurt Abhijeet as he feels Abhijeet must feel void in himself after selling his mother's house. He didn't want to hurt Abhijeet at any cost. Abhijeet was back with a glass of water for him and both sat down.
Acp Pradyuman said seeing Abhijeet's confused eyes – main apne ek dost se milne gya tha… aate -2 thoda thak gya toh socha yhi aa jaun. Thodi der yhi ruk kr fr ghar jaunga.
Saying so he looked at Abhijeet's eyes which had confusion before now turning angry. He knew what is coming now.
Abhijeet (stern voice) – Bureau mein pura din kaam krne ke baad aap itni door akele drive krke apne dost se milne gye the. Sir aap esa kaise kr skte h. aap driver ko sath kyu nhi le gye. Aap bureau jaane lge h voh kya km h… aap khud ko kyu exert kr rhe h. Sir aap mujhe bula lete…main aapko le chlta aapke dost ke ghr tkk.
While Abhijeet was saying all this but Acp was enjoying the sweet scold he is getting from the lie he just made up. Yes lie. He felt an urge to see his son like officer and left his house and came straight to Abhijeet's house. He smiled hearing all this while Abhijeet looked at that smile and asked in confusion – aap has rhe h!
Acp Pradyuman (Unknowingly) – Bhut din baad tumhari daant sun rha hun na
Abhijeet downed his head in embarrassment while Acp just laughed and stood up put his hand over Abhijeet's head and said – Esa hi rho hmesha bache! Ache lgte ho!
While Abhijeet just mesmerised with the immense love he felt in that small comment. Seeing Acp's tired posture, he said – Sir aaj aap yhin ruk jayiye na… aap bhut thake huye h… main aapko kll subeh ghr chod ayunga.
Acp just nodded. Abhijeet stood up smiled and said – main thodi der yahin aaram kijiye main aapka room set kr deta hun.
Saying so, Abhijeet left to set up the room while Acp stood there seeing Abhijeet from the back. Soon the room was all set and Acp lie down there while Abhijeet turned off the lights and left the room saying good night.
Abhijeet came inside in own room lie down on bed turned off the lights and slept with a smile on his face and peace on his face and mind.
Read and review.
Brawny.
