Hi Guys coming up with a story… It would be TRIO story… add some of Abhijeet's friends from Wafa story as well. Since a long time, I haven't seen a much of a DOU writers and readers. I hope DOU and TRIO readers come back here and give it a read and review. So here is the first chapter… Let me know if you like it… Can't promise regular updates but will try to update atleast on weekends.

…

It was 11 in the night when he came back to his hotel room totally exhausted. He let his coat fall on the floor and himself sat on the floor attaching his back to the bed or we can say he let himself fall on floor. His face was showing traces of agony, regret, pain and what not. Slowly tears made out their way from his ever-expressive eyes and he didn't wipe them. His phone was ringing in his pant pocket. He took it out and without seeing the caller id he just let it ring and put it aside. He has no idea for how long he kept sitting there with his eyes shedding so many tears which he wasn't ready to wipe off. Like he was shedding of all the regret and pain he stored with him for years. He slept there in the same position he didn't know when.

It was 7 in the morning when his eyes fluttered when he heard the noise of birds chirping outside his hotel room. His face still have the evidence of last night in the form of dried up tears. He opened his eyes and looked here and there in confusion when reality hit him and he realised yesterday's incidents. He faired his hands on his face and two drops of tears made their from eyes…yet again! This time he removed them and controlled himself really hard. He got up from the floor with difficulty and sat on the bed for a minute. He was having a bad headache. He got up from there and ordered a strong hot coffee by calling at the hotel reception. He went to washroom to freshen up and wash his face with cold water. In the mean time his coffee arrived. He took his coffee to the window and stood there for a while. The first sip of hot strong coffee hit him and provided the needed sooth to his mind and body. He picked up his phone and dialed a no. from his missed call list while sipping his coffee. The bell ring for the other side and phone got picked up in 3 rings –

Abhijeet!

Abhijeet (after a moment) – Sir!

ACP Pradyuman (in a tensed voice) – Abhijeet…. Kahan ho tum… kll raat ko bhi tumne phone nhi uthaya.

Abhijeet (stammered a bit) – Sir.. voh main…actually…

ACP Pradyuman (meaningful tone) – Theek ho tum?

Abhijeet (ignored the tone) – Ji Sir… main bilkul theek hun. Aur yahan sb kaam bhi hogya h… kll final meeting thi Banglore HQ ke sath.

ACP Pradyuman (didn't believe him on "bilkul theek hun" but ignored it for a while) – Kitne bje ki flight h tumhari?

Abhijeet (hesitated a bit) – Sir main… vhi aapse kehne wala tha… Actually (closed his eyes for a moment and said in firm tone) – Main files Rajat ke hathon bhijwa deta hun Sir… mujhe abbhi rukna h yahan… mera kuch personal kaam h.

ACP Pradyuman (thought for a moment) – Theek h Abhijeet…tum files safely Rajat ke sath bhijwa do… Aur kuch bhi zrorat ho toh mujhe call krna… (meaningful tone) Theek h?

Abhijeet (Softly) – Ji Sir… Thankyou!

Saying this he cut the call and had the last sip of his coffee. Meanwhile on the other side with ACP pradyuman –

Damn it.

He knew from Abhijeet's tired voice and him not picking call last night that something is not right with him but he wouldn't share with him. But he decided this time to be supportive of whatever comes next. He knew it wasn't related to the case he was dealing in Bangalore. It was something else that made Abhijeet voice like he was really trying very hard to control his emotions at the moment.

Leaving his thoughts aside, he got ready for the bureau and left. He reached bureau and saw Daya and Team already there working. He called Daya while walking to his cabin –

Daya mere cabin mein aayo… aur kll ke case ki files bhi lete aana.

Daya nodded and took the files with him to cabin. Daya knocked on the cabin and entered inside. While presenting the files he said –

Sir kll ke case ki files sb ready h.. maine dekhli h… bs aapke sign baki h.

ACP took the files and kept them on table without seeing them and asked in straight tone –

Abhijeet se kb baat hui thi tumhari… aakhri bar?

Daya (confused) – Sir… kll dupehr ko baat hui thi… uski HQ se meeting se pehle… (tensed tone) Sir kya baat h?

ACP Pradyuman (little tensed tone) – Voh aaj wapas nhi aa rha.

Daya (confused) – main kuch smjha nhi sir… kll usne kaha tha k case solve hogya h aur voh kll laut rha h…

ACP Pradyuman – Meri aaj subeh hi usse baat hui h Daya… voh Rajat ke haathon files bhijwa rha h… keh rha tha k use wahan kuch personal kaam h.

Daya – Personal kaam… uska toh koi dost bhi wahan nhi h sir… fr use wahan kya kaam.

ACP Pradyuman (thoughtful tone) – Pta nhi Daya… voh kuch… (looking at him) Rajat ko aane do pehle… Filhaal kuch mt kro… use phone bhi nhi.

Daya nodded with ji sir and left from there. Meanwhile a case reported and Daya got busy with it. It was 12 PM and Rajat arrived Bureau with case files. He directly made his way to ACP's cabin and knocked on the cabin. ACP gave him the permission and he entered inside.

Rajat – Good Afternoon Sir.

ACP Pradyman (nodding with a smile) – kaise ho Rajat... sb theek rha wahan?

Rajat (with smile) – Han Sir sb theek rha… case bhut ache se solve hua…Ye case ki files h… jo hme HQ bhejni hongi. Sir voh Abhijeet sir sath nhi aaye… voh keh rhe the k unhe kuch kaam h wahan toh main wapas jaun…

ACP Pradyuman (interrupted him) – voh mujhe pta h Rajat... uska phone aaya tha subeh k tum akele hi wapas ayoge… (looking into his eyes) – Rajat wahan kuch hua tha Kya?

Rajat – nhi sir wahan sb kuch bhut smooth rha… yahan tkk ki Abhijeet sir ke investigation se Bangalore ke ACP aur DCP bhut khush the…

ACP Pradyuman – Case ke beech ya baad mein kuch aur. Abhijeet kuch pareshaan lg rha tha kya ya fr kuch bhi jo tumhe ajeeb lga ho.

Rajat – nhii sir… esa kuch bhi nhi hua… kll case solve krke hmari HQ mein meeting hui… hm log wahan se 3:30 bje free huye aur nikl gye. Main pehle bureau gya tha… case files ki copy lene aur Abhijeet sir directly hotel ke liye kehkr nikl gye the…

ACP Pradyuman – Fr

Rajat – Fr uske baad meri unse aaj subeh baat hui thi… jb main airport ke liye nikl rha tha… voh keh rhe h k main aajaun aur voh vhin ruk rhe h.

ACP Pradyuman – Damn it.

Rajat – Sir baat kya h?

ACP Pradyuman (thoughtful tone) – Pta nhi Rajat… mg kuch toh h… Abhijeet!

Meanwhile in Bangalore Abhijeet came out of hotel, rented a car and went out somewhere.
