CHAPTER 2
The sunrays streamed through the window waking him from his deep sleep. He woke up with a blinding headache and the feeling that it was going to be a tough day for him. He slowly moved towards the bathroom with a totally blank mind. His face was having marks of dried tears. He came out of the bathroom ,get dressed and directly went for the bureau. It was the sixth day in a row, when he had skipped the breakfast.
He raced his car on the road to the bureau. Their last night conversation was still fresh in his mind. He had never thought that someday Daya will hate him . Hate him to the core of his heart. These things were revolving in his mind , when he reached bureau. He stepped out of the car . The security guard glanced at him. His eyes were red and he was looking so tired. He had also replaced his coat with an upper . He ignored the security guard glance and directly went inside. The whole team wished him a "good morning" but in response he only moved his head . He looked at Daya who was standing at the back ,accompanied by Suresh and directly made his way to his cabin. His own personal cabin which was provided with everything needed. But all those things didn't please him as this post was the major point of conflict between them. ACP sir saw him coming so he directly came to him and ask.
ACP:(softly) Abhijeet , thake hua lag rahe ho. Aur agar HQ se tumhein urgent bulaya gaya tu tum aise jao ge.
Abhijeet: Main manage kar loon ga.
ACP:(patting on his back) Sab theek ho jaye ga pareshan mat ho.
Abhijeet: Hmmmm..
ACP: Tumhari Daya se koi baat hui.
Abhijeet: Woh kuch sunne ko tayyar nahi. Woh tu sirf mujhe hi ghalat samajh raha hai. shayad mujh se nafrat karne laga hai.
ACP: Nahi Abhijeet aisa nahi hai. uss ki zindagi mein tumhari jagah koi nahi le sakta. (Abhijeet looked at Suresh, ACP sir followed his gaze and said) Suresh tu bilkul bhi nahi. Khud ko kamzoor karke Suresh ko mauka na do.
Abhijeet: Aap sahi keh rahe hain sir, main kuch jaldi hi har maan gaya hoon.(after a pause) Sir kia aap ko lagta hai ke woh sab kuch maine hi kiya hoga .iss post ke liye.
ACP: Bilkul nahi Abhijeet, main janta hoon tum kabhi bhi aisa nahi socho ge. Tumhare upar lage iss ilzaam ko hum jhoota sabit kar ke rahein ge.
Abhijeet: Thank you sir.
Just then ACP sir phone rang and he went out while talking with someone. Abhijeet finally sat on his chair with a thud. Freddy came to his cabin and start telling him about the case. The case details were slipping from his mind without leaving the slightest trace of meaning behind. He lift up his head a little but all he could see from those glass walls was the back of Daya's head who was busy in talking with Suresh. When Freddy was finished he asked him.
Freddy: Sir aage kiya karien.
Abhijeet:(blankly) Ab jo behtar lage woh kar lo.
Freddy was confused with that weird answer but he obeyed what his senior has said to him. Freddy was aware of everything his senior was facing.
AFTER SOME TIME
Abhijeet and the whole team were discussing about the case.
Purvi: Sir hum us Minakshi tak tu phaunch gaye lekin sir woh toh sirf aik khilari thi .Asal game tu koi aur hi khel raha hai . Uss ko kese pakrein ge . Minakshi ne bhi apna jurm qubool liya lekin usse bhi asal boss ke bare mein kuch nahi pata.
Daya: Yeh tu (stressing on his words) Sir hi batayien ge ke aage kiya karna hai. Sir ki planning bahut zabardast hoti hai.
Abhijeet clearly understood his taunt but he said nothing, instead, he passed a painful look to his buddy. Suresh winked to him . The rest of the team also understood what Daya has said. They felt sorry for both of them.
