Part 19

In CID office,
Everyone was doing a lot of work. The recent discoveries in the forensic lab had shaken them all completely. Both the ACPs were horribly tensed! ACP asked Vaibhav and Sheetal to call CID headquarters and check with Rajeev’s activities during the time of robbery; Pratap who had argued a lot about being with Rajeev remembered that not Rajeev but Kanya did take a leave for 2 days when the robbery was committed and so ACP asked him and Daya to check on her and find all they could about her, while Freddie, Abhi, Lavanya and Kaveri had gone to the exhibition hall to find out why did Kanya or Rajeev visit there.
Meanwhile, ACP stood tensed in his office and ACP Prithviraj who saw him tensed, came to him.

ACP Prithviraj – “sir aap pareshan hain?”
ACP – “haan Prithviraj, pareshan hoon…samajh nahi aa raha ki ho kya raha hai?”
ACP Prithviraj – “sir mujhe lag raha hai ki kuch hai jo hum dekh hi nahi rahe, ya dekh nahi paa rahe”
ACP – “par wohi toh jananna hai!”
ACP Prithviraj – “par sir baat kuch aur bhi hai…aapko koi aur cheez bhi pareshan kar rahi hai”
ACP – “haan…”
ACP Prithviraj – “sir kya main kuch madad kar sakta hoon?”
ACP - “mujhe khud nahi pata ki baat kya hai…main Abhijeet ke liye pareshaan hoon”
ACP Prithviraj – “maine bhi notice kiya ki Abhijeet ke saath kuch toh problem hai”
ACP – “mujhe lagta hai ki main usse kuch din ki chutti de doon, shayad wohh apni problem ka solution dhoondh le”
ACP Prithviraj – “sir hum log saath hain toh koi bhi samasya ka hal dhoondh sakte hain par alag hokar hum Abhijeet ki madad kaise karenge?”

Before ACP could reply, Abhi and Freddie entered in with of course Kaveri and Lavanya.

Freddie – “sir gadbad hai”
ACP – “Freddie kya mila?”
Freddie – “bahut gadbad hai sir”
ACP – “uff…Abhijeet tum batao kya pata chala…”
Abhi – “sir wohh…”
Freddie – “nahi sir main hi bataunga”
ACP – “toh batao…”
Freddie – “sir Rajeev CID team ke saath wahan hall ki inspection karne gaya tha.”
ACP – “tumhara matlab hai jo team exhibition hall ke inspection ke liye gayi thi, Rajeev usmein tha?”

Just then Vaibhav and Sheetal come in…they too had the same news with a lot more information.

Sheetal – “ji sir, Rajeev us team ka member tha”
ACP Prithviraj – “yani ki agar hall se koi bhi raasta hai, toh Rajeev ko pata hona chahiye…aur Kanya…uske bare mein kuch pata chala…?”
Kaveri – “sir uska toh bahut zyada chakkar hai…exhibition hall ke manager se pata chala, ki Kanya Rajeev ke saath aayi thi jabki wohh inspection team mein nahi thi aur phir – “
ACP – “aur phir kya?”
Abhi – “baad mein wohh ek din phir aayi thi, exhibition ki recordings dekhne, exhinition ke pehle din. Usne wahan kaha ki Rajeev ne usse waha bheja tha.”
ACP Prithviraj – “Pratap…”

Prarap who was talking to Daya came, Daya too came along.

Pratap – “ji sir.”
ACP – “Pratap jis din ye exhibition lagi thi, us din ya ek do din pehle, Rajeev ne Kanya ko kahin bheja tha, ya usne chutti lee ho?”
Pratap – “sir chutti toh nahi lee par haan Kanya tab kisi case ke silsile mein zyadatar office se bahar hi rehti thi.”
ACP Prithviraj – “sir gadbad hai..”

Just then Freddie gets a call from his wife who was furious as it was 11 and Freddie had promised to be back home early…Freddie as usual couldn’t speak anything on the phone…but just made a very poor face…

ACP – “kya ho gaya?”
Freddie – “wife ka phone tha, maine kaha tha ki main jaldi aa jaunga isiliye gussa thi, bola hai agar 10 minute mein nahi aaya toh andar gusne nahi degi”
ACP – “phir toh tumhe nikalna chahiye…”
Daya – “aur nahi toh kya, ghar mein entry nahi mili toh hum mein se kisi ek ko Freddie ko jhelna hoga.”

Freddie is like always, confused, angry and all…

ACP – “acha chalo, sab ghar jao par kal subah saat baje mujhe sab yahan chahiye”
Freddie – “aapka matlab chutti ab?”
ACP – “haan Freddie”

And saying so, ACP left with ACP Prithviraj, Vaibhav, Pratap and Sheetal. Freddie was staring at ACP with open mouth in shock.

Lavanya – “kya hua Freddie sir?”
Freddie – “kya yeh sach mein ACP sir the?”
Daya – “kyun?”Freddie – “inhone hume abhi – abhi ghar jaane ko kaha”
Daya – “haan waise hairani wali baat toh hai.”

Vivek entered when the conversation was on. He saw ACP leave and ACP told him to go home too…

Vivek – “ACP sir chutti de toh koi manta nahi, nahi de toh khush nahi.”

Abhi wasn’t at all interested in the conversation. He didn’t want to go home as in his home there were 2 Shrutis one of whom he didn’t want to face.

Daya – “Freddie niklo jaldi warna bhabhi ji gussa karengi…”
Freddie – “haan haan…”

Saying so, Freddie left in a hurry. Vivek, Kaveri and Lavanya too left.

Daya – “Kya hua Abhijeet? Ghar jaane ka mann nahi hai?”
Abhi – “pata nahi..”
Daya – “kya pata nahi…chalo main ghar chod deta hoon aur subah 6:30 baje pick kar lunga.”

In the car,
Daya – “kya baat hai Boss? jab se Mumbai aaye ho, bilkul khamosh ho”
Abhi – “nahi kuch khaas nahi…”

Then a long silence and Daya was thinking what the matter could be and it suddenly dawned on him…in amazement as he knew it was true, he stopped the car…

Daya – “kahin Shruti mera matlab hai Viren ki behen, tumhare ghar par toh nahi?”
Abhi – “haan. Usne kaha ki wahan reh kar wohh Shruti ke bare mein aur jaan legi.”
Daya – “chakkar kya hai Abhijeet?”

And reluctantly and slowly, Abhijeet told his mind of how he had almost forgotten Shruti when they were in Pune and he enjoyed being with the other Shruti and now it was all hard again…Abhi told Daya how he felt strongly that there is something fishy about Viren and that Viren is definitely alive but he has turned to a criminal… and also Abhi told him how he really wanted to solve this mystery about Viren as there was something very big and crucial too! Daya was so surprised to listen how much Abhi was going through.

Daya – “itna kuch akele kaise face karoge?”
Abhi – “yahi toh nahi pata na yaar”
Daya – “mere ghar chalo”
Abhi – “kya faayda…kabhi na kabhi toh saamna karna hai, aaj kyun nahi”
Daya – “pakka?”
Abhi – “haan”
Daya – “kabhi bhi kuch bhi pareshani ho, phone kar dena…main aa jaunga…”
Abhi – “thanks”

Abhi’s home had come…and so Abhi got down and prepared himself to face Shruti…he didn’t feel what he used to for her but still there were some remains…he didn’t love her any loner and neither felt any attraction but he found her fake and highly fraud as he believed she did know something about Viren… Anyways, he entered the house to find everyone sitting on the dining table, taking dinner.
