Flashback Continued…
DUO's Home…
Daya's Room…
ACP sir was having no idea from how long he was sitting there like that, quietly running his fingers in his kid's hair and assuring him about his presence with his son by that soft grip on his hand when the room door slowly opened, breaking the trail of ACP sir's thoughts and he looked in the direction to find his elder son present there…
Exchanging a silent glance, they both turned their gazes towards Daya again in same aching-silence when moving forward…
Abhijeet sat beside his brother and softly placed his hand on Daya's cheek while asking in audible whispered tone as: Sula dia aap ny issy…
ACP sir nodded slightly still looking towards his younger son's face, replying in same audible whispered tone as: Hmm… (Turned his gaze towards his elder son while completing as…) Bs tumhien juala-mukhi bolna prra issy sulany k liye…
Abhijeet chuckled very faintly with moist eyes with: Juala-mukhi…?
ACP sir nodded in silent smile as: Tou tumhien kya lgga, tum dono mein yeh Ravan aur Yamraj jaisy naam rakhny ka talent kahan sy aaya hai, hmm…?
Abhijeet's smile deepened while looking down already when he slowly turned his gaze towards his brother's sleeping face making his smile slowly disappeared and he looked towards their father, now having loads of determination in his eyes with: Aap daikhiye ga sir, kaisy yeh juala-mukhi ab unn haiwano py phatty ga aur unn darindon ko iss tarhan jlla daally ga k unn ki rakh tk nahin mily gi kisi ko kahin…
ACP sir nodded him promisingly while giving a supportive-assuring pressure on his shoulder where Abhijeet nodding back to ACP sir, smoothly grabbed his brother's free hand as his effort to calm down himself and with loads of love and care, stamped a soft kiss on his hand…
They kept sitting there for few more moments in silence there when Abhijeet softly freed Daya's hand and turned his attention towards the bedside table and opening the same small cabinet there, which earlier used to always pack with different tyes of snacks and was now filled with different medicine bottles, injection vials, syringes and other such medicine related stuff, Abhijeet grabbed few things from there…
When seeing him closing the cabinet door and sitting beside his brother again…
ACP sir asked him confusingly as: Abhijeet yeh sb kya hai bchchy…?
Abhijeet looking towards him replied him quietly as: Sedative dainy lgga hoon issy sir… (Avoiding looking that rose of confusion in his father's eyes listening to that, he continued in same quiet tone while now rubbing spirit swab on Daya's arm with…) Warna pandran beess minute mein hi jaag jaye ga yeh… (And filling the syringe with the sedative, he added as…) Sedative ly k doo dhai ghanty soo laita hai phir bhi… (And turning his attention towards Daya's arm, Abhijeet completed in a complete silent tone as…) Sir iss ko sambhaliye ga please, yeh drrta hai neend mein bhi injection sy…
ACP sir though had tightened his grip on his younger son's hand as a response of that request but still asked him confusingly as: Iss tarhan achanak sy kyun…
And ACP sir leaving his sentence incomplete had hurriedly turned his attention towards Daya as Abhijeet had already now carefully inserted the syringe's needle in his younger one's arm, who slightly flinched and moved his head a little hence ACP sir had caringly firmed his grip on Daya's hand sidewise kept rubbing his free hand in Daya's head, whispering soft-assuring words to him that gradually calmed Daya down…
When after not receiving any reply from his elder son's side…
ACP sir called him quietly as: Abhijeet…?
Abhijeet without moving his gaze from Daya's arm replied in complete silent tone as: Issy wahan regularly rape drugs di jati rahi hain sir…
ACP sir looked at him in extreme pain and then turned his hurt-filled gaze towards his younger son and bowing over him, ACP sir placed a soft kiss on his temple like was trying to assure and comfort him… Where after injecting the medicine in Daya's blood stream, Abhijeet pulling back the syringe needle, applied the band aid on the prick mark and left from there in same silence, still without looking at his father's face, knowing all they both would find on each other's faces was pain, where ACP sir kept rubbing his fingers in Daya's head lovingly, trying to keep him calm and relax…
Soon after disposing off those things that were used to give Daya the injection and washing his hands, Abhijeet returned to his brother and father when seeing him sitting there silently now while softly securing Daya's free hand in his own…
ACP sir, in same audible whispered tone they both were talking earlier because of being really careful about Daya's sleep, asked him caringly as: Tum theek ho Abhijeet…?
Abhijeet nodded quietly with: Jee sir… (And he looked towards him with…) Aur aap…? (ACP sir too nodded him silently in reply when nodding him back, Abhijeet turning his gaze towards Daya's face again, asked hurtfully as…) Bohut rooya ho ga na sir yeh…?
ACP sir looked at him for few moments in pain and then smoothly freeing Daya's caringly held hand, he softly placed his hand on his elder kid's cheek in love-filled-hurt as: Bs aaj aakhri baar rooya hai yeh iss tarhan baita…
Abhijeet looked towards him and whispered with loads of mixed emotions as: Thank you sir…
And a drop silently slipped from his eye where…
ACP sir softly rubbed his thumb on his cheek while wiping off that drop sidewise snubbing him in care-filled-pain as: Pehly tumhara bhai maar khaty khaty bacha hai aaj, ab tumhara mood ho raha hai kya…? (Abhijeet gave him a moist smile easily getting that Daya's silence and denial to repeat his statement would have irritated their father to that extent and he quietly moved his head down when giving an assuring pressure on his shoulder, ACP sir while trying to divert the topic, asked him quietly as…) Achha Freddy ko sambhal lia tum ny, kaisa hai woh ab, aur Anirudh yahin hai ya chala gaya…?
Abhijeet looked towards ACP sir in composed way with: Jee sir woh…
Flashback within the Flashback…
After approaching Freddy, Abhijeet sitting beside him and without saying anything had smoothly wrapped him in a tight hug, that made Freddy crying more bitterly now while hugging him with his full strength… Abhijeet didn't once try to stop him but kept consoling him while encouragingly rubbing his upper arm and back when after few minutes, getting quite calmed now Freddy slowly moved back and…
Abhijeet, forwarding the tissue-box placed on the center-table towards him, told him softly as: Yeh lo aur apny yeh sb aansu saaf kro jaldi sy shabash, main tumhary liye pani ly k aata hoon, roona nahin ab bilkul…
But before Abhijeet could stand…
Freddy, who had already grabbed the tissue-box from him had stopped him and shook his head while wiping off his moisture-filled face with: Nahin sir, mujhy pani nahin chahiye, main theek hoon, thank you… (And slowly his mind started coming back in the working mode now and looking around, he asked him moisture-filled-worried tone as…) Sir, Daya sir…?
Abhijeet assured him softly as: Sir hain uss k sath, don't worry…
Freddy nodded quietly and looking down in his lap now, said in moist tone as: Main kaisa dost hoon sir, Daya sir itni takleef mein thy aur mujhy ptta tk nahin chal skka…
Abhijeet consolingly pressed his shoulder with: Tum dost ho Freddy, unteryami nahin ho jo uss ko daikhy mily bina hi tumhien kuchh ptta chal pata… (Freddy looked at him with teary eyes where Abhijeet patted his back assuredly with…) Sambhalo khud ko tum, humien mazboot bn'nana ho ga na ta k hum Daya ko mazboot bnna sakien, hmm…?
Freddy nodded while wiping off his teary eyes with: Aap theek keh rahien hain sir bilkul… (And he again looked towards Abhijeet but this time his eyes were having determination and anger in them, telling him in strong tone as…) Sir main puri koshish kron ga k ab sy yeh aansu hum mein sy kisi ki aankhon mein nazar na aaien, bl k nazar aaien tou sirf unn darindo ki aankhon mein aaien…
Abhijeet nodded him encouragingly with: Good, very good… (Told him in strong tone as…) Yeh aag jalti rehny daina apny ander Fredricks, aagy bohut zarorat prry gi humien iss ki…
Freddy nodded assuredly in complete confidence and then remembering something, asked Abhijeet in hope-filled-pain as: Sir, Daya sir sach keh rahy thy na uss baby k barey mein…? (Abhijeet nodded in composed smile and Freddy's face suddenly lit-up telling him as…) Sir jb hum ly aaien gy na uss ko humary paas, tou aap Daya sir ko bhi btta dijiye ga please, mujhy koe nahin rokky ga uss k liye jitny chahy utny khilony aur cheezien lany sy…
Abhijeet chuckled softly with: Hmm theek hai, btta dun ga tumhary Daya sir ko bhi, khush ab…?
Freddy nodded in humble-moist smile and requested him as: Sir mujhy ab ghar jana hai please, aap sir ko btta dien gy please…?
Abhijeet stopped him softly as: Iss mental condition mein gaari chalao gy tou ghar ka tou keh nahin sakta kuchh lekin sawarg zaror pohanch jao gy tum aur phir main bhabhi ko reporting ks ki kron ga…? (Freddy chuckled with moist eyes where Abhijeet softly patted his back with…) Guest room mein ja k rest ker lo thori dair tum, jao chalo…
Freddy nodding to him slightly had soon left from there inside the guest room where Abhijeet now turned his attention towards Anirudh, who had kept himself occupied with reviewing some of the case's points but now noticing Abhijeet's attention shifted towards him…
Anirudh smoothly closing the file, told him as: Yeh baat samny aany k baad kuchh points dobara daikhny hoon gy tou bs wohi daikh raha tha main ab…
Abhijeet nodded understandably and asked him reluctantly as: Anirudh mujhy clear picture bttao please iss dosry case ki… Molestation k cases mein usually law ki sympathy female ki taraf hoti hai aur phir humary daish mein male raped victims ka koe law hai bhi nahin, tou iss sb mein Daya ka case kahan stand kerta hai…?
Anirudh nodded slightly with: Aap ki dono baatien apni jagah theek hain Abhijeet aur yeh sirf humary daish ka hi masla nahin hai bl k jahan tk mairi jaankari hai, kuchh developed countries ko chhor k kisi bhi daish mein male raped victims k liye koe legislation nahin hai, aur iss ki brri wajah shaid hum males khud hain… Females ager aaj apny liye bohut sy haq lainy mein kamyab ho chuki hain tou uss k peichhy unn ka saalon ka struggle hai aur hum males ab tk issi toxic mentality sy nahin nikl paa rahy k mard ko dard nahin hota aur mard rooty nahin hain, jb k mard bhi utny hi insan hain jitni k aurtien, aur ho sakta hai Daya ka case humara apny haq ki lrrai lrrny mein pehla qadam sabit ho aur iss k baad aur log bhi apny ander apny liye aawaz uthany ki himmet la paien… (Inhaling deeply, jerking his head came back on the query with…) Khair jahan tk iss case ki baat hai tou iss case mein rapist aik female hai aur raped victim aik male, unfortunately court mein yeh baat prove hony k baad bhi Amavasya ko rape kerny ki koe szza nahin ho gi… Aur shaid aap yeh baat already jaanty hain, aur Daya ko bhi iss baat ka andaza hai iss liye woh Amavasya py rape charges file nahin ker rahy bl k apni olad ki custody ka case file ker rahy hain js mein rape ko hum as a major factor include krien gy aur hum tb tk sakoon sy nahin baithien gy kb tk court Daya ko uss ki olad ki full custody na dy dy… (And thinking for a moment, he looked at Abhijeet in complete seriousness with…) Abhijeet aap logon k media mein koe contacts hain kya…?
Abhijeet, who was very carefully listening to him, nodded slightly with: Sir k aik friend ka pura aik media house hai js k different subsidiary channels aur newspapers hain, kuchh media k logon sy humari bhi achhi baat-cheet hai, kyun…?
Anirudh told him in realistic tone as: Abhijeet iss era mein media aik bohut powerful tool bn chuka hai, Shastri ka apna aik pura media club hai js ka kaam hi public mein uss k image ko maintain rakhna hai, dosry bohut sy media channels py uss ka political influence hai, aur iss dosry case k samny aaty hi woh apna pura zoor lgga dy ga humary case ko uss k khilaf opposition ka aik political propaganda sabit kerny k liye iss liye humien bhi equal media space aur coverage chahiye ho gi apni baat logon tk pohanchany k liye, aur uss k false propaganda ko counter kerny k liye bhi… (Taking a momentary pause, told him in complete seriousness with…) Yeh koe aam case nahin ho ga Abhijeet, iss k samny aaty hi, media groups, so-called feminist groups, political groups, sb active ho jaien gy aur bohut sy pressures hoon gy, shaid aap logon ko apny department ki taraf sy bhi bohut pressure face kerna prry, basically aik jung hum court k ander lrr rahy hoon gy aur aik court k bahir, iss liye humien dono k liye hi taiyari kerny ki zarorat hai…
Abhijeet nodded thoughtfully with: Hmm aap ki baat bilkul theek hai Anirudh, main baat kerta hoon iss barey mein sir aur team sy…
Anirudh asked him softly as: Aik suggestion dun aap ko…? (Abhijeet nodded while looking at him so Anirudh added while giving stress as…) Ager Shastri k bohut sy dost hain tou dushman bhi tou bohut hoon gy uss k aur… (Completed in meaningful tone as…) Dushman ka dushman, dost hota hai…
A deep mysterious smile formed on Abhijeet's face getting his meaning and…
Abhijeet nodded appreciatively as: Spoken like a true lawyer…
Anirudh chuckled lightly with: Well thought to give you a glimpse of yours truly being a true lawyer… (Abhijeet smiled softly at him when turning serious, Anirudh added as…) Abhijeet humary kerny waly tou sb kaam hum ker lien gy lekin maira aik aur bohut brra concern Daya khud hai… (Abhijeet turned serious too where Anirudh elaborated as…) Please don't take me wrong, main achhy sy samajhta hoon k iss samey Daya ki mental condition kya ho gi and I really appreciate k unhon ny apny liye stand lainy ka faisla kia hai but the thing is, hum yeh baat bhi nahin bhool sakty k court mein judge k samny Daya ko apni statement daini ho gi aur defense lawyer Daman hr tarhan sy Daya ka confidence shake kerny ki koshish kry ga and in all honesty, mujhy already Daya mein confidence ki bohut kmmi nazar aa rahi hai…
Abhijeet nodded understandingly with: Main samajhta hoon yeh baat Anirudh aur sach kahon tou mujhy bhi iss baat ki bohut tension hai… Daya ka treatment chal raha hai, uss ka aik childhood friend hai, Sunil, psychiatrist hai woh, wohi treat ker raha hai ussy iss sb trauma aur PTSD k liye, therapies aur sessions waghaira regularly ho rahy hain uss k, treatment bhi follow ker raha hai woh, hopefully aaj jo uss ny itni himmet dikha k yeh jo aik bohut brra prrao paar ker lia hai, iss sy bhi uss ka confidence berhy ga thora…
Anirudh nodded agreeably with: Hmm, I agree… (And he suggested him in balanced tone as…) Abhijeet koshish krien k aap log ya Daya k psychiatrist unhien convince krien kisi tarhan unn sb teen mahinon k barey mein openly baat kerny k liye… (A shadow of pain passed Abhijeet's face where Anirudh elaborated consolingly with…) Please yeh bohut zarori hai case k liye, Daya jitni baar uss sb k barey mein baat krien gy, utni hi unn ki hesitation kmm ho gi, unn ka drr kmm ho ga aur woh court mein woh sb keh paien gy… Unhien samjhaien please, ager iss samey mairy samny baat nahin ker paa rahy woh tou initially aap sy krien, aap sy nahin kerna chahty tou apny psychiatrist sy share krien, ACP sahab sy, Freddy sir sy, kisi sy bhi aur ager kisi sy bhi share nahin kerna chahty filhal tou apny room mein sheeshy k samny khary ho k kmm-sy-kmm itni ounchi aawaz mein woh sb dohraien k unhien khud apni aawaz sunai dy rahi ho… Yeh sb bohut zarori hai unn mein confidence wapis lany k liye aur unhien uss sb k liye prepare kerny k liye bhi jo yeh dosra case file kerny k baad hum sb ko aur particularly Daya ko face kerna prry ga because trust me, Daman will be more than ruthless with him in the court…
Abhijeet nodded slightly with: Hmm, I have no doubt about it… (Inhaling deeply while spreading hands on his face, Abhijeet turned his attention towards Anirudh telling him in a little silent tone as…) Main Sunil sy baat kron ga iss barey mein, Daya sy baat nahin ho paye gi shaid mujh sy, Sunil thori sakhti sy bhi samjha ly ga ussy, mujh sy ab uss py sakhti nahin ki jati…
Anirudh nodded consolingly with: I understand Abhijeet, it's alright… (Abhijeet nodded him quietly where Anirudh told him in complete seriousness with…) Aur aap sb ko apni security ko ly k bhi bohut sawdhan rehna ho ga… (Abhijeet looked at him quietly listening to Anirudh adding as…) Shastri apni jhooti izzat bachany k liye kisi bhi hdd tk ja sakta hai aur ager woh Daya tk na bhi pohanch skka tou woh aap logon ko bhi target ker sakta hai iss liye Daya k sath mein aap sb ko bhi bohut sawdhan rehna ho ga… (Abhijeet nodded in assurance where nodding him back, Anirudh told him in a little casual tone as…) Chalien mujhy kal k case py abhi thora kaam kerna hai tou aap sir ko btta dijiye ga please, main ab chalta hoon… (And he stood up while completing as…) Kal hearing k baad baat hoti hai phir…
Abhijeet, who too was standing now, nodded slightly and they both left towards the main door now busy while discussing the case against Shastri…
Flashback within the Flashback ended…
And Abhijeet completed as: Phir Anirudh apny office k liye nikl gaya, keh raha tha k iss baat k samny aany k baad ussy case k kuchh points dobara daikhny hoon gy aur kal woh sirf khana-puri k liye court hearing attend kry ga aur koshish kry ga k next hearing ki date thori lambi mily ta k uss doran hum dosra case bhi prepare ker k file ker dien…
ACP sir nodded agreeably in silence with: Hmm, yeh zada achha ho jaye ga aur yeh bhi achha ho gaya k baqi sb points py bhi aik discussion ho gae tumhari uss k sath… (Abhijeet nodded quietly in agreement and turned his gaze towards his brother unknown about his father's gaze that was still fixed on his face and after few moments of looking at Abhijeet's face in silence, ACP sir called him softly as…) Abhijeet…! (Making Abhijeet turned his gaze towards him in question-filled-answer where ACP sir asked him in composed tone as…) Tumhien shuru sy ptta tha na sb…?
Abhijeet instantly averted his gaze to hide those cracks appeared in his eyes, understanding what his father was asking from him and then inhaling deeply while tightening his grip on his younger one's hand…
Abhijeet still looking at Daya's face nodded silently with: Jee sir, js rooz iss ko rescue kia tha, ussi rooz btta dia tha iss ny sb…
ACP sir asked him in pain-filled-hurt as: Aur tb sy akely iss sb takleef mein jll rahy ho tum baita…?!
Abhijeet looking towards him slightly shook his head while replying as: Nahin sir, akela kahan tha… (Eyed towards his brother with…) Yeh tha na mairy sath… (And looked towards his father again while adding in silent-meaningful tone as…) Aur Sunil bhi tha… (Pain-filled-shock came in ACP sir's eyes who earlier thought that Sunil was treating Daya for his emotional and psychological traumas only but now his elder son was telling him otherwise where Abhijeet nodded to him while elaborating as…) Js rooz iss ko rescue kia tha ussi rooz ghar aany k baad bukhar ho gaya tha issy bohut tezz tou Sunil ko bulaya tha issy daikhny k liye… (And hiding his eyes now added in slow tone as…) Tabhi uss k samny iss ny woh alarm-clock… (And leaving the sentence there, he caringly spread hand on his brother's face with…) Psychiatrist hai na, zada dair nahin lggi ussy iss k drr ki asal wajah samajhny mein… (And now looking towards ACP sir, he completed as…) Wohi treat ker raha hai iss ko ghar py iss k depression aur inn sb traumas k liye…
ACP sir, who was listening to him quietly now nodded silently and then pointing towards Daya's chest, asked Abhijeet silently with: Yeh iss k kandhy k paas kya hua hai Abhijeet, itni brri bandage kyun hai yahan…?
Abhijeet getting silent for a moment replied in a really quiet tone as: Tattoo tha yahan sir uss janwar k naam ka js ko khud sy allag kerny k liye iss pagal ny khud ko jlla lia…
ACP sir looked towards Abhijeet in shock-filled-horror who looking once in those eyes with moisture-filled eyes, wasn't looking towards them again where ACP sir turned his pain-filled gaze towards his younger son and softly spreading hand on his head, placed a soft kiss on his head while a drop silently slipped from his eye, getting absorbed in his kid's hair…
For around a minute there remained complete silence in the room with both of them involved in their own thoughts now when…
ACP sir's audible whisper, having the elements of both hope and scare in his voice, broke that silence with: Yeh wapis aaye ga kya Abhijeet…?
Abhijeet understanding well what he meant turned his injured gaze towards him with: Main ny koshish ki hai iss sy aik doo baar iss barey mein baat kerny ki sir, issy samjhany ki bhi lekin… (Unknowingly his voice turned little low with…) Bs aik hi jawab daita hai k ab yeh wapis join nahin kerna chahta… (And they both turned their pain-filled hurting gazes towards their dear one while Abhijeet continued dejectedly as…) Woh job, woh kaam jo kabhi iss ko iss ki zindagi sy bhi zada pyara tha, iss ki zindagi ka maqsad tha, ab woh iss k liye sirf aik nokri bn k reh gaya hai sir, aur nokri bhi easi jo yeh kerna nahin chahta… (And placing a soft kiss on his brother's hand, Abhijeet gulping down a moist breath, looked towards their father with fire of determination lighting in his eyes now as…) Shastri aur uss ki baiti ko apny kiye aik aik jurm ka hisab daina ho ga sir, jaisy iss sy iss ki hassi, iss ka hr sapna, hr cheez chhen li unn janwaron ny main bhi unn k paas kuchh nahin rehny dun ga, mairy Daya k aik aik aansu ka hisab daina ho ga unhien sir, aur main unn sy yeh hisab ly k rahon ga…
And standing from there, Abhijeet left the room the same second where ACP sir turned his moist gaze towards Daya whose tired-pale face was really increasing that scare of his heart of never seeing his younger son in the CID Bureau as a cop again…
And the pain of that aching wound was still too fresh and deep for him that it broke ACP sir's trail of thoughts and he unintentionally spread hand on his face and feeling something weird, looked towards his own hand confusingly to find some moisture present there, finally realizing him about those salty drops silently flowing down from his eyes…
ACP sir turned his hurt-filled gaze towards his son and then spreading hands on his own face, he wiped off the moisture from there and composing himself, as an effort to divert his mind, he casually checked his wrist-watch and got shocked seeing he was sitting there like that from almost an hour now…
And turning towards his son…
ACP sir lovingly spread hand on his head, telling him in a silent-sad smile as: Ptta hi nahin chala bilkul k itni dair ho gae mujhy yahan baithy hoye… (And few more words unknowingly came out from his mouth in hurt and pain as…) Ptta tou wasey tumhien bhi nahin chala ho ga k main itni dair tumhary sath baitha raha hoon… (And quietly dusting off the drop that had slipped on his cheek, ACP sir told him in composed tone as…) Achha chalo, ab main bhi nikalta hoon Bureau k liye, phir aaon ga tum sy milny, khayal rakhna apna aur mairy baity ko preshan nahin kerna zada, thora sa kerny ki permission hai…
And he chuckled on his own statement and bowing over him, placing a soft kiss on his forehead he moved back and after being completely satisfied from his younger kid's side, ACP sir slowly stood up, finally leaving the room too, on his way grabbing the dining chair with himself and closing Daya's room door completely on his back…
Placing the dining chair at its place, ACP sir soon left the home too, locking the main door on his way out, sidewise dialing a number on his mobile, to soon…
Hear the call got attended from the other side with: Sir…?
ACP sir, while sitting on the driving seat of his car, told him in composed tone as: Main bs Bureau k liye nikal raha hoon Abhijeet, socha tumhien btta dun…
Abhijeet, getting the reason of that call, replied understandably with: Jee sir, main room ki feed check kerta rahon ga… (And receiving a composed Hmm in reply, he asked him caringly as…) Aap theek hain sir…?
ACP sir, now on his way towards Bureau, nodded little teasingly as: Tumhary uss bigry nawab sy mil ker jitna theek ho sakta hoon, utna hi theek hoon bs… (Abhijeet couldn't help the soft-love filled smile formed on his face where ACP sir told him with mixed emotions of fatherly love and anger as…) Lekin uss ko zaror theek kerny ki koshish ker k aa raha hoon main, daanta hai uss bewakoof larky ko main ny aur btta bhi dia hai k further treatment mein ager uss ny humara sath nahin dia tou aur bhi bohut dantt prry gi uss ko…
Abhijeet having a small-sad smile on his face now, asked him quietly as: Tou kya kaha phir aap k ladly chiranjeev ny sir…?
ACP sir trying to keep his voice stable replied in fake-anger as: Himmet hai uss ki k mairy samny kuchh keh skky, chup-chap suunta raha bs… (And even miles away, he could still see the shadow of pain passing his elder son's face and hence changing the topic, he asked him as…) Achha khair, tum bttao, Bureau mein sb theek hai…?
Abhijeet replied in composed tone as: Jee sir, yahan theek hai sb… Kanya k gird bhi ghaira tng ker dia hai bohut, hopefully aaj raat sy pehly hi humary mehman-khany mein aa jaye ga woh…
ACP sir nodded appreciatively with: Hmm good, yeh bohut achhi khaber suunai hai tum ny Abhijeet aur ab uss ki khatirdari ki zimmedari bhi tumhari hai, humary mehman ko humari maizbani bhoolni nahin chahiye kabhi…
Abhijeet nodded assuredly with the tinge of anger present in his voice as: Don't worry sir, main puri koshish kron ga k sirf iss janam mein tou kya, agly saat janmon tk humari mehmandari na bhool skky woh, bilkul jaisy humien unn chhoty masoom bchchon k chehry nahin bhoolien gy kabhi jn ki school-canteen k khany mein zeher mila k iss haiwan ny pandran bchchon ki jaan ly li aur kitny bchchon ko hospital pohancha dia sirf iss liye k school administration iss ki dhamkion sy drri nahin aur issy extortion k teen crore ruppay nahin diye unhon ny…
ACP sir feeling the same rage in himself too replied as: Uss jaisy haiwan ko tou ab teen crore janam bhi kmm prrien gy apny ghinowny paap dhony k liye… (And he told him in a rather composed tone as…) Achha Abhijeet main iss samey drive ker raha hoon baita, Bureau aa k baat hoti hai phir…
Abhijeet nodded understandably with: Jee sir, drive safe…
ACP sir replied a soft "Hmm" in reply and the call got ended from both sides on that note…
