Chapter 2

*CID beauro*

            ACP sir was sitting in front of his desktop and staring at the screen actually at the wallpaper... The wallpaper in which two of his most precious gems were smiling... Those gems which were stolen away from him, stolen away by a thief called destiny... The only thief even ACP Prayduman failed to catch hold of!

(Just then Dr. Salukhe entered the beauro and went to ACP sir and saw him staring at the photo of duo set as wallpaper of his desktop)

Salukhe - Kitne din un dono ki taswiro ko dekhte rahoge

ACP - (without looking up from the desktop) Inn taswiro ke alawa kuch bacha bhi kaha hai salukhe... (sighing) Inn taswiro se hi kaam chalana padega ab

Salukhe - Tum kabse haar manne lage prayduman... Mai jis prayduman ko janta hu na, usne ajj tak kabhi haar nahi mani

ACP - (finally looking at Dr. Salukhe) Harne ke baad jitne ki ummed rakhne ke kya fayeda?! Nakul ke baad abhijeet aur daya mai apna beta dekha tha maine... Nakul ko meri duty ne cheen liya aur abhijeet daya ko unki duty ne

Salukhe - Daya ko kuch nahi hoga prayduman... Ummed mat haro... Tum hi toh kehte ho na daya CID ka sher hai... Kitni baar maut se lad chuka hai woh aur har baar jita hai, iss baar bhi zaroor jitega... (patting ACP sir's back)... Bas apne app ko mazboot rakho aur uska saath do... Humara daya hume chod ke nahi jayega

ACP - Har baar ummed rakhta tha mai kyuki mujhe vishwas tha ki daya hum sab ko chod ke nahi jayega... Lekin iss baar... Lekin iss baar dar lagta hai ki woh abhijeet ke paas chala gaya toh? Hum sab ko chod kar apne boss ko chun liya, toh hum kya karege?!

Salukhe - Aisa kuch nahi hoga!!!

ACP - Khir tum batao, kisi kaam se aye the?

Salukhe - Nahi bas yahi puchne aaya tha ki beauro ke baad hospital jaoge na?

ACP - Haa jauga... Kyu?

Salukhe - Mai bhi saath chaluga... Daya ko bhi dekh lunga aur doctor se bhi kuch baat karni hai daya ki progress ke bare mai

ACP - Theek hai saath chalege... Mai tumhe pick karne lab aa jauga

Salukhe - Okk... Phir mai chalta hu... Zayda sochna mat, kuch nahi hoga daya ko... Bye

(ACP sir after biding good bye to Dr. Salukhe glanced at his desktop, smiled seeing duo's picture and started with his work)

*Unknown place*

(In a dark place there was one man sitting on the chair... Four to five men were standing around him... There were some bottles thrown here and there, some oil spilled on the floor and a tyre was hanging in the one corner with the help of a chain... A table was kept in the middle of the room and some desi kattas were kept on it... Even some blood stained knifes could be seen kept on the table... The only source of light in that closed room which made all these things barely visible was a small bulb hanging in the middle)

Man 1 - Sab ready hai boss

Man 2 - Haa boss ab apan log kabhi bhi apne plan ko anjam de sakta hai

Man sitting on the chair (Boss) - Sab chize ek baar phir se check karo... Kisi galti ki gunjaish nahi honi chahiye

Man 3 - Nahi hogi boss, iss baar koi galti nahi hogi

Man 4 (to man 3) - Jab tak tu humare saath hai, kabhi bhi koi bhi galti ho sakti hai

Man 3 - Dekh mera dimag kharab mat kar... Agar meri satak gayi na toh tera kya hoga yeh tu soch bhi nahi sakta

Man 4 - Abbe tu karega kya? Ha? Kya karega tu! Uss daya ko tak toh mar nahi paya... Samne khada tha woh humare! Phir bhi zinda bach gaya

Man 3 - Haa theek hai zinda bach gaya lekin 2 mahino se coma mai pada hai... Zinda hokar bhi mara hua hi hai naa!

Boss - Chup ho jayo tum dono!!! Problem kya hai tum dono ki hamesha jagadte kyu rahte ho

Man 2 - Toh boss ab aage kya karna hai?

Boss - Intezar! Sahi waqt ka intezar... Ek baar bas upar se order aa jaye phir humare plan ko anjam denge

Man 1 - Theek hai boss... Apun baki sab ko bhi bol deta hai tayar rehneko

Boss - Hmm... Chalo niklo abhi tum log

(All the 4 men left)_____________________________________________

            A man was lying on the bed... So many life equipments were attached to him... His body motionless and his face expressionless... Eyes closed and face pale... The only sign that he was alive was the heartbeat monitor in the room. Another man was sitting beside him... He was holding the hand of the previous one in both his hands... Holding it so delicately as if holding his whole world in them

Freedy - Daya sir ab bas bhi kijiye na... Aur kitna intezar karwayege hum logo se! Kyu pareshan kar rahe hai app hume? Pata hai sir beauro mai bilkul man nahi lagta appke bina... Mai toh ab atmao ki bate bhi nahi karta... App naraz ho jate the na! Mai appse wada karta hu sir ki ajj ke baad kabhi atma ka naam bhi nahi lunga... Please sir uth jayena...(with tears in eyes) Meri nahi toh baki sab ki toh suniye! Appko pata hai pankaj na ajj kal koi bachpana nahi karta... Purvi aur tarika koi gossip nahi karti... Salukhe sir kisi se nahi jaghdte... Bilkul chup chap rehte hai, sirf apna kaam karte rehte hai... Kisi ki taang nahi kichte... Aur ACP sir! Unhone toh jina hi chod diya sir... Bas hospital aur beauro... Na waqt par khana khate hai, na sote hai... Bas apna kaam karte hai aur appko aur abhijeet sir ko yaad karte rehte hai... Ajjkal unke files ke bich app dono ki photos ka album bhi hota hai... Hum sab ko toh aise dikhate hai jaise woh bohat strong hai lekin mujhe pata hai sir ki woh bhi rote hai, akale mai... Jab bhi hum puchte hai unke khane-pine ke bare mai toh keh dete hai ki abhi bohat kaam hai baad mai aur unka baad kabhi aata hi nahi hai... Der raat tak beauro mai kaam karte rehte hai aur roj subah jaldi aa jate hai... Unhe lagta hai ki hume kuch nahi samjhta, lekin sir hume pata hai woh apne app ko kaam mai busy bas isliye rakhna chahte hai ki appki aur abhijeet sir ki yaad na aaye... Sir kisi aur ke liye nahi toh unke liye toh uth jayena please

            But there was no response from the other side... Daya was still lying on the bed as if all these things didn't affect him or as if he didn't even hear them... But there was someone else listening to all these words... From behind the slightly open door of the hospital room... Someone who's eyes were continuously​ shedding tears... His eyes fixed at his brother's face and ears ringing with Freedy's words... After listening to the condition of his teammates his heart was burdened with another guilt... Guilt of taking away all the happiness from his family... Guilt of all the tears of Freedy and the guilt of giving so much pain to his ACP sir. Just then he heard some steps approaching him and looking at that direction he found Dr. Salukhe and ACP sir coming towards him or better say towards Daya's ward... Taking a last glance at his brother and praying for his fast recovery he covered his face with a scarf he ran towards the exit.

To be continued...

             Who was that 'he' in the first chapter ka answer dhund rahe ho? But chapter toh katham ho gaya! But don't worry i will tell you all... That 'he' the same man who was standing there outside the hospital ward... Wanna know his name? Chalo aur pareshan nahi karugi it is none other than our beloved Abhijeet sir... Many of you guessed it correct. I know so many more questions are running in your mind like if Abhijeet sir was there on the beach and outside the hospital ward then why do ACP sir and Salukhe sir considered him dead? If he is alive then why is he running away from them? Why is he thinking of himself as guilty of all these? Those goons were discussing about what plan and what did they do to Daya sir? Many more but ajj ke liye ek answer kafi hai... For other answers wait for the further chapters and keep reading.
