CID Bureau…
Bureau Hall…
Seeing the cops returned now, ACP sir too moved out from his cabin and seeing him coming…
Abhijeet updated him in tease-filled-taunting tone as: Bhanu jee ko ly aaye hain hum sir, wapis inn k sasural ly jany k liye… (Bhanu smirked at ACP sir where Abhijeet concluded in anger as…) Issi ko iss Aakash ny apni patni Riya ki supari di thi…
ACP sir nodding to him, had turned towards Aakash and after usual questioning from both and then recording their confessions, both were sent to jail while the cops had returned to their desks, getting busy in their works and ACP sir too left towards his cabin…
ACP sir's Cabin…
Coming in his cabin ACP sir grabbed his seat and looked towards his elder son to find him completely involved in his work now, bringing a silent smile on the father's face…
Exhaling a heavy breath, ACP sir silently rested his head on the headrest, looking far in the space when his mind took him to the place where…
ACP sir's Home…
Lounge…
It was the eleventh day since Abhijeet had left for his undercover mission and Daya was still kidnapped with CID team unable to find any clue about his whereabouts, even after trying every possible way…
Clock was striking 08:43 pm and ACP sir and Freddy could be seen sitting in ACP sir's home's lounge discussing some case as because of the absence of both senior officers of CID Mumbai team, the workload on the remaining officers had increased much those days…
The two were completely involved in the case discussion when ACP sir's now ringing mobile interrupted them and without looking at the caller ID…
ACP sir busily attended the call with: Hello…?
The callee replied from the other side as: ACP Pradyuman sir baat ker rahy hain kya…?
ACP sir nodded with: Jee, kehiye kya kaam hai aap ko…? Aur koun hain aap…?
The callee replied in hurried tone as: Sir main police Inspector Harsh baat ker raha hoon, aap ki team k senior inspector Abhijeet ko kisi ny goli maar di hai…
ACP sir instantly stood up in great shock with: Kya…?! (Coming in anger now, asked him as…) Kya fazool bkwas ker rahy ho, hosh mein tou ho tum…?
Freddy, who too was standing now, looked at him in worried-confusion not getting the reason of his sudden anger while…
Harsh tried to explain while telling the name of the area as: Jee sir, mairi yahan patrolling duty thi aaj aur jb main apni team k sath iss elaky ka round ly raha tha tou mujhy Abhijeet sir milly ghayal halat mein aur…
ACP sir, who had come out of shock till then suddenly realized it that because of being on mission Abhijeet wouldn't be carrying anything that could expose his identity hence he asked him sternly as: Tum itny vishvas sy kaisy keh sakty ho k woh CID officer Abhijeet hai, haan…?
Freddy looked at his face in real worry while…
Harsh replied in confused tone as: Kya matlab sir…? Main ny unhien itni baar tou daikha hai aur…
ACP sir cut him in chewing tone as: Abhijeet aik undercover mission py gaya hai disguise mein tou tum ussy kaisy pehchan sakty ho Harsh…?
Harsh replied in complete confusion as: Sir woh sb tou mujhy nahin ptta kuchh… (Getting an idea, hurriedly told him as…) Sir aik minute please… (And soon ACP sir's mobile beeped followed by Harsh's voice as…) Sir main ny aap ko Abhijeet sir ki picture send ki hai, aap khud daikh lien please, woh kisi disguise mein nahin hain… (ACP sir opening the picture looked at it and stood still for a moment seeing his elder son's face there and within a moment he got it that the latter was unconscious while some red drops were visible on his face and neck… ACP sir came out of his shock with Harsh, telling him as…) Sir hum log CITY hospital pohanchny waly hain, aap please wahin aa jaiye ga jaldi, Abhijeet sir ki halat theek nahin hai…
ACP sir, though still did not want to believe it, nodded in worry as: Theek hai, hum aa rahy hain foren lekin jb tk hum nahin pohanchty tum wahin humara intezar kerna…
Harsh answered as: Jee sir theek hai…
And as soon as the call ended from both sides, seeing Freddy ready to bombard him with queries…
ACP sir raised his hand to stop him with: Rasty mein bttata hoon, chalo foren CITY hospital…
Freddy nodded instantly, understanding the seriousness of the situation and rushed behind ACP sir, who had updated him about the recent on the way to hospital, making him unknowingly increasing the speed of the vehicle, reciprocating the speed of his worried and scared beating heart…
CITY Hospital…
After parking the car in the hospital parking, the two had rushed inside the hospital and reaching at the reception…
Freddy asked in great hurry as: Kuchh daer pehly police aik zakhmi aadmi ko ly k aai hai yahan, kahan hain woh…?
Receptionist replied as: Sir unhien operation theatre ki taraf…
And she stopped there seeing the two were already left towards the operation theatre…
Outside Operation Theatre…
Seeing Harsh was waiting there for them with his two constables, the two hurriedly made their way towards him who too stood straight seeing them coming and saluted ACP sir…
ACP sir nodding them, asked in worried tone as: Haan Harsh ab btao theek sy, kya keh rahy thy tum phone py…?
Harsh started explaining as: Sir aaj raat jb main apni team k sath patrolling duty py tha tou humien aik taraf sy kuchh golian chalny ki aawaz aai, aur jb tk main apni team k sath uss jagah pohancha jahan sy golian chalny ki aawaz aa rahi thi tou wahan humien Abhijeet sir milly, zakhmi halat mein… Unhien left shoulder k paas goli lggi hue thi aur woh behosh thy, bs phir hum unhien turrant apni jeep mein hospital ly aaye aur rasty mein main ny aap ko call ker di…
ACP sir nodded composedly with: Theek hai Harsh, thank you, tum jao ab, aagy hum daikh lien gy…
Harsh nodded and then remembering something, forwarding a plastic bag towards him with: Sir yeh shaid Abhijeet sir ki gun hai, humien unn k paas prri mili aur mairy doo officers abhi spot py hi hain, kuchh aur dhondny k liye kyun k goli chalany wala humary pohanchny sy pehly hi ja chukka tha…
ACP sir, who had already grabbed Abhijeet's service gun from the latter, nodded with: Jaisy hi kuchh ptta chaly humien inform kerna please…
Harsh nodded with: Sir…
And then saluting him, he left from there with his team while…
Freddy turning towards ACP sir, said in moist tone as: Sir humari CID team ko ks ki nazar lg gae, pehly Daya sir kidnap ho gaye aur ab Abhijeet sir ko goli…
ACP sir cut him in composed-firm tone as: Freddy aansu bahany ki zarorat nahin hai bilkul, koe pehli baar goli nahin lggi Abhijeet ko, kuchh nahin ho ga ussy, kuchh bhi nahin…
Freddy just nodded him with same moisture-filled eyes and then moving a little away, he took out his mobile to tell Vivek and Tasha about the recent… Soon after ending his call with the two, Freddy returned to ACP sir who was now sitting on the bench, praying for his son's wellbeing…
Nearly two hours had passed since Abhijeet was inside the OT and whole CID team excluding DUO were present outside OT when glancing over the still on OT's red light bulb…
Tasha uttered in worry as: Yeh doctors ko itni daer kyun lg rahi hai Abhijeet sir k shareer sy goli nikalny mein…?
The same question was running in other heads too but no one said anything and kept praying for their dear one who was fighting for his life inside that OT…
Soon the nerve testing moments came to an end and OT's red bulb turned off, resulting the CID cops instantly stood up in alert waiting for the doctor to come out who soon emerged from the OT and seeing them there…
The doctor himself initiated while relaxing them as: Operation kamyab raha, Abhijeet ab khatry sy bahir hai…
Moist-relieve-filled smiles formed on all faces listening to that while…
Vivek asked him in somewhat impatient tone as: Doctor Shubham lekin aap ko Abhijeet sir k shareer sy goli nikalny mein itna samey kyun lg gaya, maira matlab, goli sir k left shoulder k paas lggi thi tou kahin sir ka heart tou…?
And he could not complete while…
Dr. Shubham slightly shook his head with: Nahin Vivek, goli Abhijeet k kandhy aur heart k beech mein lggi hai lekin uss ny heart ko koe nuqsan nahin pohanchaya…
Freddy repeated Vivek's query as: Tou phir aap ko itna samey kyun lg gaya sir k operation mein…?
Dr. Shubham replied as: Kyun k Abhijeet k shareer mein goli k sath sath, zeher bhi tha… (CID cops looked at him in great shock while he continued as…) Jo k shaid ussi goli k zariye Abhijeet k shareer mein aaya, kyun k ager yeh zeher pehly sy Abhijeet k shareer mein hota tou woh ab tk zinda nahin hota, yeh aik bohut khatarnak aur jald asar kerny wala zeher tha…
ACP sir nodded while saying as: Jo goli Abhijeet ko lggi, zeher zaror ussi py lgga ho ga, khooni hr haal mein Abhijeet ko khatam kerna chahta tha… Ussy pehly sy andaza tha k andhery k karen uss ka nishana chouk sakta hai tabhi uss ny goli py zeher lgga dia, yeh zaror kisi sharp-shooter ka kaam hai… (Turned towards the doctor with…) Shubham humein woh goli chahiye jo tum ny Abhijeet k shareer sy nikali hai…
Dr. Shubham nodding to him had turned towards the nurse with: Sister, sir ko goli la dien please…
Sister nodding to him left inside the OT while…
Tasha asked in worry as: Doctor ab tou sir ki body sy sara zeher nikal gaya hai na, ab tou koe khatry wali baat nahin hai…?
Dr. Shubham replied in soft tone as: Nahin, khatry ki koe baat nahin hai aur hum ny Abhijeet ko ICU mein shift ker dia hai lekin hosh unhien ab kal subah hi aaye ga and I will recommend k unhien doo sy teen din hospital mein hi rakha jaye, he needs rest…
ACP sir nodded in composed way with: Don't worry Shubham, main Abhijeet sy baat ker lun ga, jb tk tumhien sahi nahin lggy ga, woh hospital mein hi rukky ga…
Dr. Shubham nodded in light smile with: Thank you sir… (And then glancing over the officers, turned back towards ACP sir with…) Excuse me sir please…
ACP sir nodded understandably with: Sure…
And Dr. Shubham left from there towards his cabin and soon after taking the bullet provided by the nurse, CID cops too left towards the hospital's ICU…
Listening to some soft voice ACP sir confusingly opened his eyes to find his elder kid's concerned face there and…
Abhijeet asked him instantly as: Sir aap theek hain…?
ACP sir nodded while composing himself as: Haan, main theek hoon bilkul, yunhi aankhien bnd ker k rest ker raha tha thora… (And then spreading hands on his face added as…) Tum btao, koe kaam tha…?
Abhijeet who though was not convinced but still left the topic and nodded while forwarding a file with: Sir woh iss file py sign chahiye thy aap k…
ACP sir nodded while grabbing the file with: Baith jao Abhijeet… (Looked at him in soft smile with…) Main theek hoon, don't worry, hmm…?
Abhijeet nodded in light smile and grabbed the seat across the table while after signing the file…
ACP sir forwarded it towards Abhijeet with: Aur tum bhi ab niklo, lunch ka time hony wala hai na, jao shabash…
Abhijeet slightly shook his head with: Nahin sir woh subah mein Daya ki medicines late ho gae thien tou woh soo raha hai iss samey, chhey saat bjjy tk hi uthy ga woh aaj… (ACP nodded understandably while Abhijeet clearing his throat, completed as…) Sir woh main soch raha tha k main aaj Bureau mein hi hoon tou hum log aik sath lunch krien please…?
ACP sir gave him a love filled fatherly smile with: Bohut achha idea hai Abhijeet… (To do a little leg-pulling added as…) Wasey itny achhy ideas aaty kahan sy hain tumhary paas…? (Concluded mischievously with…) Dikhny mein tou itny intelligent nahin lgty tum…
Abhijeet who was earlier smiling shyly, now protested in loud-grumpy tone as: Sir…!
ACP sir let out a soft laugh with: Achha ab jaldi sy lunch mungwa lo, kuchh ptta nahin koe case hi na report ho jaye…
Abhijeet nodded while standing with: Jee sir, main bs abhi ly k aata hoon…
And he left from the cabin, leaving his smiling father behind…
The day passed like that and in the evening, around six, Abhijeet left the Bureau towards home…
DUO's Home…
Reaching in the home, Abhijeet first checked his mobile screen to find the younger one still asleep and hence he left to get fresh and then cooking himself a cup of tea, he returned in the lounge and switching on the TV, he starter watching a documentary channel while slowly sipping tea, waiting for the latter to wake up…
Placing the now empty cup aside, Abhijeet placed his both legs on the center-table and leaned back on the sofa while sidewise switching off the TV and slowly closed his eyes, allowing the memories to take him away from the present time to the time where…
DUO's Home…
Daya's Room…
Abhijeet after getting fresh, returned in Daya's room to find the room empty though water falling sound was coming from the bathroom now, bringing a worried whispered from…
Abhijeet's mouth as: Oh-no, yeh phir shower lainy chala gaya, itna pani mein rehta hai, tabhi bukhar nahin uttar raha iss ka…
And he looked at the bathroom's closed door in worry when his now ringing mobile attracted his attention and leaving the younger one's room, Abhijeet left towards his own room and seeing the caller ID, grabbing the mobile…
Abhijeet attended the call with: Haan Sunil, sb theek hai, iss time call ki tum ny…?
Sunil replied as: Sorry yar tumhien Bureau mein, kaam k beech mein…
Abhijeet cut him smoothly as: Nahin Sunil, main ghar py hoon, jaldi aa gaya hoon aaj wapis, khair tum btao, Daya ki blood reports aa gaien kya…?
Sunil nodded with: Haan Abhijeet, initial reports aa gaien hain thori dear pehly tou socha tumhien btta dun foren, uss ki ab tk ki reports clear hain sb… (Completed in confused-worried tone as…) Lekin ptta nahin phir uss ka bukhar kyun nahin uttar raha, shaid baqi reports sy clear ho jaye kuchh…
Abhijeet replied him as: Shaid mujhy ptta hai k uss ka bukhar kyun nahin uttar raha…
Sunil instantly asked as: Kyun…?
Abhijeet replied in worried tone as: Sunil woh doo doo teen teen ghanty nahata rehta hai, itni itni daer pani mein rehta hai, issi karen uss ka bukhar nahin uttar raha shaid…
Sunil strongly nodded agreeably with: Bilkul Abhijeet, yehi wajah hai phir uss ka bukhar na uttarny ki… (Told him worriedly as…) Abhijeet uss ko rokko kisi tarhan please, ager uss ka bukhar bigar gaya tou humien ussy hospital shift kerna per sakta hai…
Abhijeet replied in helpless tone as: Main kaisy rokon ussy Sunil, kya kahon ussy…? (Asked him innocently as…) Peichhy sy pani bnd ker dia kron kya main…?
Sunil shook his head with: Nahin Abhijeet easa nahin kerna please, ager yeh baat Daya ko ptta chal gaya tou ussy yeh lg sakta hai tum jaan boujh k ussy preshan ker rahy ho, woh iss samey kuchh bhi soch sakta hai…
Abhijeet nodded in his own flow as: Soch tou woh sach mein kuchh bhi raha hai aaj kal, dimagh kharab ho gaya hai uss ka bilkul…
Sunil instantly asked in alert tone as: Abhijeet mujhy detail mein bttao please, sahi sy, kya hua hai…? Kia hai kya Daya ny kuchh…?
Abhijeet started telling the details as: Sunil woh bohut bddal gaya hai yar, hr waqt guum-suum kahin khoya hua sa rehta hai bilkul, na kuchh bolta hai, na soota hai, na kuchh khata hai, na apny kamry sy hi nikalta hai… Tumhien ptta hai, tum ny jo ussy medicines di thien, main ny subah kisi tarhan sy ussy breakfast kerwa k woh medicines dien jn sy uss ny dopahar tk soona tha aur main jb gyaran bjjy k qareeb ghar pohancha tou woh pehly sy hi ptta nahin kb ka jaag raha tha… (Added in pain as…) Sunil, yar woh hr aik sy drrny lgga hai, yahan tk k apni khud ki perchhai sy bhi, kal humari society mein ice-cream truck aaya aur humary ghar k qareeb aa k uss ny apna woh music aik dmm sy on ker dia aur Daya itni buri tarhan sy drra k uss k hath mein pakra pani ka glass chhout gaya uss sy… (And completed in whispered-hurt tone as…) Bs sirf aik cheez js sy ussy ab bhi drr nahin lgta woh mout hai, woh mrrna chahta hai Sunil aur mujhy nahin lgta k yeh jaan ker k uss ki reports clear aai hain, ussy koe khushi hony wali hai…
Sunil replied in consoling tone as: Abhijeet tum sambhalo khud ko please, main ny tumhien btaya tha na k yeh sb ho ga… (Started explaining him as…) Abhijeet, Daya is suffering from PTSD, matlab Post Traumatic Stress Disorder… Tum yun samjh lo k woh teen maah aik film ki tarhan Daya k dimagh mein ghoomty rehty hain hr samey aur iss karen woh ab hr samey red-alert py, hyper-active rehta hai, ager woh dawaion k asar sy soo bhi raha hai tou uss ko unn sb dinon ki baatien sapnon k surat mein baar baar dikhai dy rahi hain, js karen woh neend sy uth jata hai… (Concluded politely as…) He is in severe trauma Abhijeet aur jo kuchh uss ny tumhien btaya hai, woh shaid uss sb ka aik bohut chhota sa hissa hai jo uss ny wahan saha hai…
Abhijeet asked him helplessly as: Tou phir main kya kron Sunil, sirf mujhy ptta hai main kaisy ussy akela chhor k Bureau ja raha hoon aaj kal, hr samey yehi drr lgga rehta hai k kahin woh khud ko koe nuqsan na pohancha ly… (Told him as…) Tumhien ptta hai, aaj Chitrole aaya tha Bureau, Daya ny ab tk joining kyun nahin di, yeh jannany… Sir ny aik hafty ka keh k ussy bhaij dia lekin jb yeh aik hafta khatam ho ga tou kya ho ga…? Daya js buri tarhan sy bikhra hua hai, mujhy kuchh samjh nahin aa raha k kaisy join kry ga…?
Sunil inhaling a deep breath, told him in soft tone as: Abhijeet shaid main zada straight-forward ho raha hoon lekin tumhien filhal Daya ki joining bhoolni ho gi… Hum dono ko hi ptta hai k Daya hamesha sy kitna sensitive aur emotional raha hai aur jahan tk main ny ussy observe kia hai aur tum ny btaya hai, yeh uss ka iss tarhan sy ounchi aawazon sy drrna, khoon sy drrna, tumhien ussy kisi bhi baat k liye force kerny sy rokna, uss k sath wahan bohut kuchh hua hai Abhijeet, jo woh btta nahin paa raha aur uss sb sy nikal pana uss k liye aasan nahin ho ga…
Abhijeet nodded restlessly as: Theek hai Sunil main bhool gaya Bureau ko aur uss ki joining bhi lekin mujhy btao please k main ussy zindagi ki taraf wapis kaisy laon, uss kaisy majbor kron k woh apny zakham mujhy dikhaye, kya kron main…?
Sunil replied in consoling tone as: Abhijeet molestation jaisi cheez victim ka khud apny samny bhi accept kerna bohut mushkil hota hai, khaskr hum males k liye kyun k iss ko usually females k sath associate kia jata hai… Victims usually iss ghatna ko chhupana chahty hain ya itni jaldi bttaty nahin hain lekin Daya js rooz tum sy mila, uss ny ussi rooz tumhien btta dia, jo k aik bohut brra aur bohut positive sign hai k Daya tum per kitna trust kerta hai… (Told him encouragingly as…) Abhijeet tumhien bohut pyar aur patience k sath Daya ko encourage kerna ho ga k woh khud hi uss sb k barey mein sochny ki jagah tumhary sath share krry, akela roony k bajaye tumhary sath mil k rooye, ussy yaqeen dilao k chahy kuchh bhi hua ho uss k sath tum kabhi ussy chhor k nahin jao gy, tum…
Abhijeet cut him in real pain as: Sunil…!
Sunil nodded understandably as: I know Abhijeet but Daya needs that assurance, iss samey kisi bhi tarhan ki negative thought uss k dimagh mein aa sakti hai… (Added while stressing as…) Abhijeet tumhien yeh samajhna ho ga please k woh mairi ya tumhari tarhan nahin soch paa raha, bl k woh tou shaid kuchh soch hi nahin paa raha… Tum yun samajh lo k tum log uss ka shareer tou aazad kerwa laye ho lekin uss ki aatma aaj bhi ussi farmhouse k uss andhery kamry mein qaid hai, js ny Daya ki sochon ko bhi andheri ker dia hai bilkul… (Completed carefully as…) Lekin job hi kerna Abhijeet, aik baat ka khas khayal rakhna please k ussy force nahin kerna bilkul woh sb tumhary samny bolny k liye, let him come to you like he did earlier…
Abhijeet nodded understandably with: Theek hai Sunil main puri koshish kron ga ussy yaqeen dilany ki k uss ka Abhi hamesha hai uss k sath… (Taking a momentary pause, completed in composed tone as…) Aur main iss baat k liye bhi koshish kerta hoon k Daya kisi tarhan tum sy baat kerny k liye taiyar ho jaye, I really think that he needs therapy sessions…
Sunil nodded agreeably with: Main bhi tum sy yeh baat kehny wala tha Abhijeet, therapy sessions will help him… Aur Abhijeet tum please apna bhi bohut khayal rakhna, I know k yeh time tumhary liye bhi bilkul aasan nahin hai…
Abhijeet replied in silent tone as: Time tou yeh kisi k liye bhi aasan nahin hai Sunil, na tumhary liye, na mairy liye aur na hi sir ya team k liye, woh log ab kuchh pouchhty tou nahin hain lekin unn ki aankhien bttati hain k woh kitni shiddat sy unn sawalon k jawab jan'nana chahty hain jo woh pouchhty nahin…
Sunil replied him consolingly as: Abhijeet tum sambhalo khud ko please aur himmet rakho, hum sb hain tumhary sath…
Abhijeet smiled lightly with: Janta hoon Sunil aur bs ab yehi baat Daya ko bttani hai k hum sb hain uss k sath… (Completed in fresh tone as…) Achha chalo rakhta hoon ab, ja k daikhon ladly ko, nikla hai pani sy k nahin…
Sunil unexpectedly let out a light laugh with: Haan chalo jao phir tum, baad mein baat hoti hai, take care…
Abhijeet replied smilingly as: You too, bye…
And he call ended from both sides while Abhijeet left towards the younger one's room to find the room still empty and water still running inside the bathroom…
Listening to some voice Abhijeet slowly opened his eyes and instantly grabbed his mobile, recognizing the source of that voice really well to find the younger one awakened now and was calling for him with continuous "Suno…!" "Suno…!" calls…
Placing the mobile aside, Abhijeet hurried towards the younger one's room and opening the room door, which automatically closed later…
Abhijeet entered inside with: Daya…! (Daya who was standing now and looking to the other side still calling for him, turned towards him who added as…) Kya hua, bula rahy thy tum mujhy…?
Daya nodding to him, signaled towards the magazine placed a little far from them with: Yeh perh lia main ny, dosra hai…?
Abhijeet looked at him disappointedly with: Tumhien dosra magazine chahiye iss liye bula rahy thy mujhy…? (Daya nodded awkwardly while Abhijeet added in fake low tone as…) Mujhy tou lgga tum mujhy miss ker rahy ho tabhi dhond rahy ho… (Daya kept silence where moving forward Abhijeet grabbed the magazine and looked at Daya with…) Main dosra magazine ly k aata hoon…
And giving a soft smile to him, Abhijeet left the room where Daya for few moments kept looking at the way the latter disappeared and then inhaling a deep breath, he left towards the corner and sat there with his arms wrapped around his knees…
