A/N: Hi everyone…as promised, I'm posting the story today itself… :)

Thanks for such a god response to the 1st chapter…I'm very happy that you all liked it that much…I hope you'll like this chapter as well…

And my old friends…I thought you all will not recognise me as I changed my name…however, you proved me wrong and I loved to be proved wrong in such cases…love you all a lot…

Here comes the second and the last chapter of the story…

HAVE A HAPPY READING…

He little jerked with the sudden sharp sound…he could not get what it was as he was completely cut off from the present while thinking all these…he sat properly trying to understand what happened when he heard the sound again…now he got that it was the doorbell ringing…he took a deep breathe and stood up to open the door when he heard a voice very much known to him…he suddenly stopped in his tracks and stood there itself…the same voice came again… "Abhijeet…"…It was Daya, unmistakably…he looked at the door for a moment and then moved to his room…

Daya getting no response from Abhijeet, entered the home with his own keys…seeing no one there, he made his way to Abhijeet's room…he pushed the door lightly as it was left ajar…he stood at the door silently staring at his friend's face who was sitting with closed eyes, resting his back on the back rest…

"Abhijeet…", called a low soft voice that could not be resisited by the other…he opened his eyes and looked at him and then smiled a little with, " Ayo Daya, waha kyu khare ho gaye…"

Daya entered inside and sat on the chair next to the bed…

Daya: Tumhe soya hua dekha isilliye ruk gaya…socha shayad tumhe (stressing) disturb na ker du…

Abhijeet: Nahi Daya, aisa kuch nahi hai…

Daya(silently): Phir darwaza kyu nahi khola…

Abhijeet averted his gaze with, "Haan shayad aankh lag gayi thi meri…tabhi pata nahi chala…"

Daya (smiled sadly): Abhijeet…kamse kam mere se to jhooth mat hi bola karo tum…nahi bol paate tum…

Abhijeet looked at him and again turned his face to the opposite wall…after a while of silence, Abhijeet said in low hesitant tone, still looking away: Daya…(Daya looked at him…) tumhe bhi yahi lagta hai ki ye sab maine…

Daya (cut him in low soft tone): Tumhe kya lagta hai…?

Abhijeet turned to him but seeing the focused eyes on him again turned to his previous position…

Abhijeet: Pata nahi yaar…(sad…) koi bhi anjaan aa ke keh deta hai mujhe ki isne kuch galat kiya ahi aur sab turant yakeen ker lete hai…per jab mai cheekh cheekh ker kehta hu ki nahi, mai galat nahi hu…tab to koi nahi hota jo vishwas kare meri baat per…mere baat kea age bhi wo ajnabi hi jyada important ho jata hai sabke liye…aisa kyu yaar…

Daya: Tumhe sach me aisa lagta hai ki koi tumhari parwah nahi kerta…ya koi tumhari baato per yakeen nahi kerta…

Abhijeet (looking at Daya): Phir kyu ker rahe ho tum log aisa batao…agar vishwas hota to tum log mere khilaaf investigate nahi ker rahe hote…

Daya: To kya kerna chahiye tha…tum hi batao…koi aa ker hume keh jaye ki Abhijeet ne khoon kiya hai (Ahbijeet's face turned more sad lisening this…) aur hum chup chaap maan ke baith jaye, haan? Case ki the tak jaane ki koshish bhi na kare…ye na pata lagaye ki ye sab kisne kiya jis ke karan humare officer per ungli uthayi gayi…

Abhijeet (in anger and pain): Ussi officer per nazar rakh ke case solve kerne se asli mujrim nahi milta hai Daya…ye sari chize jot um sab ker rahe ho…mujh per nazar rakhna, mere call records sab…sab kuch saaf zaahir kerta hai ki kiski baat ki kya ehmiyat hai tum logo ke liye…(he stopped for a moment…Daya too silent to give his friend sometime…after a minute, he continued…) aur kisi se to mai kuch bol bhi nahi sakta Daya…ab to umeed bhi nahi rakhta kuch per tum…yaar mujhe humesha ye yakeen hota tha ki koi ho na ho kam se kam Daya mera sath nahi chorega…(in little wet tone…) per yaha bhi mai hi galat ban gaya yaar…tum bhi…mujhe hi galat (and he stopped due to tears that started forming in his eyes…)

Daya stayed silent for sometime and when saw that Abhijeet completely stopped speaking, started speaking in soft tone…

Daya: jab mai kisi case me phas jata hu aur tum mere ghar ki talashi lene jate ho, tab iska matlab yahi hota hai na ki tumhe meri fikr nahi, mujh per vishwas nahi…

Abhijeet (shocked): Daya…ye kya bo rahe ho yaar…mai sirf isiliye kerta hu taaki case solve ho aur tum begunaah sabit…(and he stopped realising what he said and why Daya suddenly raised that topic…he looked at Daya who was looking at him silently…)

Daya smiled a little seeing his friend stuck with his own words and shocked…

When Daya found him out of shock, he added: ACP sir bhi pareshan hai…tum the nahi bureau me to sir baar baar tumhara hi pooch rahe the…fikr to hogi hi na…unke bête se kam to nahi ho tum unke liye…(Abhijeet looked at him and then down his head…Daya stood up and to move out of the room…)

Abhijeet (stopping him): Kaha ja rahe ho…? Sorry mai…mai aisa nahi kehna…

Daya: Abhijeet…(casually…)kictchen tak hi ja raha hu…(Abhijeet looked at him questionably…) yaar chaye ki bhookh lagi hai…(Abhijeet smiled on his friend's special type of 'bhookh'…Daya added smilingly seeing his his buddy ok…) aata hu 5 minute me…(he patted Abhijeet's arm and started moving out of the room…)

Abhijeet (from back): Suno…(Daya looked back…) mere liye bhi…(Daya nodded and went out while Abhijeet rested back again…)

After sometime, Daya returned with two cups of tea…Abhijeet took the tray from his hand and Daya set his chair near the bed and then sat on it…Abhijeet handed him his cup and both started sipping the tea silently when after a minute Abhijeet started…

Abhijeet: Daya…

Daya (still engaged with his tea): Hmm…

Abhijeet: Sorry…

Daya looked at him confused: Ain?

Abhijeet unintentionally smiled on that 'ain' and then turned seriour again while said: Yaar wo…mujhe aisa nahi kehna tha tumhe…pata nahi mai bas…

Daya (completed him): thora pareshan ho gaya tha…(smiled with…) Yaar Abhijeet…humne agar ye sorry- thank you ka silsila shuru ker diya na to pure din bas yahi bolte rahenge…behtar hai ise rehne hi dete hai…(Abhijeet smiled too and nodded…Daya in soft tone…) bas ye khayal kabhi dil me aye to…

Abhijeet: Daat ke bhaga dunga…

Daya: Sahi…aur nahi kiya to…

Abhijeet: Tum mujhe daat dena…

Daya standing up and grabbing the cups, said in warning tone: Yaad rakhna apni baat…

He went to keep the cups in kitchen and came out to see Abhijeet coming down from the stairs…

Daya: Tum bhi aa gaye…rest ker lete na…

Abhijeet: Mai kyu rest karu…mujhe kya hua hai…(after a pause, in serious tone…) waise…kitne din tak mujhe ghar me rehna hoga…

Daya (predending to be shocked): Ghar? (fakely scolding him…) khayal bhi mat lana dimag me aisa…itne saare cases hai bureau me, wo kya hum akele handle karenge…(pointing finger towards him…) dekho bhai…agar tum ye soch rahe ho ki mujhe phasa ker khud araam keroge to bhool jao…mai aisa hone nahi dunga…samjhe…kal subah aa jana chup chaap…

Abhijeet: Aur ACP sir…wo to…

Daya: Tumhe aisi galatfehmi kaise ho gayi ki sir tumhe saare cases chhor ke arram farmaane denge, hm? Aur tum nahi gaye to mujhe daat dete hai sir…pata nahi kya matlab hai iska…aaj kha lunga daat, roz roz nahi kha sakta…

Abhijeet (confused): Sir kyu tumhe daatenge…

Daya: Abhi itne der se mujhe yaha bithaya hua hai tumne…iss waqt jaunga to aur kya hoga…tumhe to maine sir se jhooth bol ke bacha liya…

Abhijeet: kaisa jhooth…

Daya: Tum jo itni der se gayab ho bureau se to sir ne kya pucha nahi hoga…aur sir aur kisi se to puchte nahi hai…humesha tumhare gusse ke chakkar me mai hi phas jata hu (Abhijeet smiled)…sir ne pucha to mere kuch samajh nahi aya…maine bol diya ki Abhijeet ke sar me dard hone laga tha isiliye wo ghar chala gaya…mai khud khabri se milne ka kehke aya hu aur itni der laga di yaha…ab class lagegi achi…

Abhijeet (naughtily): Mai tumhara khabri to nahi…

Daya (winked with): Saari khabrein to tumhi se milti hai mujhe…(Abhijeet nodded disappointedly…Daya added…) ab nikalta hu jaldi…bye…

Abhijeet: Bye…

Daya left the home and went to bureau…

In Bureau…

Daya entered inside and first scanned for ACP sir and when did not find him there, heaved a sigh of relief…he went and started doing his work after asking Freddy where ACP sir was, who told him that he had left for some work around half an hour ago…

After sometime, ACP sir entered inside…he saw Daya sitting on his desk…

ACP: Daya…

Daya (stood up with): Yes sir…

ACP: Itni der kaha lag gayi…tumne to kaha tha thori der me aa rahe ho…

Daya: Haan sir, wo khabri thora late aya tha…par mai aapke jaane ke 5 minute baad hi aa gaya tha…(ACP sir nodded and left to receive a call…Daya and Freddy shared a smiley glance and again got busy in the case…)

ACP sir returned after entertaining the call and called everyone near the central table…everyone gathered there…

ACP: Maine doctor se baat ki hai…wo kisi bhi halat me abb Shishir se hume milne ki permission nahi de rahe hai…aur stress ke karan usse doctors jyada sedation per hi rakh rahe hai…to hume jo bhi kerna hai unse kuch bhi pooche bina hi kerna hai…

Daya: Sir, maine aur Freddy ne aaj subah jaaker wo jagah phir se check ki thi…waha hum eek ghari mili...ussi jagah se jaha Shishir ji Abhijeet ko mile…

ACP: To, kuch pata chala kuch usse…?

Daya: Sir, Freddy ko idea mil gaya Shishir ji ke baar me pata lagane ka…

ACP looked at Freddy to listen to him so he started…

Freddy: Sir, waisi ghari maine pehle bhi dekhi thi ek shop pe…uska design kuc alag sa tha isiliye yaad reh gaya…kayi saal pehle uss company ne limited edition me ye model nikala tha, apni company ke 25th aniversary celebrate kerne ke liye...

Daya: Vivek gaya hai uss watch ka pata lagan eke liye…kyuki limited edition tha to jyada dukaano me nahi mila hoga…aur ye company bhi kaafi badi hai…har shop per to milega nahi, kuch hi dukaane hai jaha iss company ke watches milte hai…internet se pata chal gaya wo bhi, to jyada waqt nahi lagna chahiye…(to Freddy…) Freddy, baat hui Vivek se? Kab taka a jayega?

Freddy: Haan sir, hui thi baat…keh raha tha thori der…(he stopped hearing footsteps approaching them…and just then, Vivek entered…) aa gaya…

ACP: Haan Vivek, mila kuch?

Vivek: Haan sir, bahut kuch…ye ghari kisi Siddhant ne khareeda tha…credit card se payment hui thi isiliye kafi details mil gayi…pata chala ki ye Siddhant, Shishir ka beta hai…

ACP (Exclaimed happily): Shishir ka! Ab to aaram se uske baare me pata lagaya ja sakta hai…

Vivek: Haan sir, maine uska address bhi nikal liya aur waha jaane bhi laga tha per (looking at Freddy in low tone…) Freddy sir ne bula liya aur mai inki baat kaise taal sakta hu…

Freddy (angrily): Maine sirf pucha tha ki kab tak aa rahe ho…

ACP (stopping them): Acha acha theek hai…Daya, tum jaker dekho Siddhart ke ghar…dekho kya pata chalta hai…

Daya nodded and left…

ACP: Tasha, tumse kaha tha waha jitna bhi khoon mila hai, uska sample collect kerke forensic lab bhejne ko…bhej diya tha?

Tasha: Ji sir, sir keh rahe the jaldi hi report aa jayegi…

ACP: Theek hai…aur Freddy, waha road pe jo CCTV camera laga hai, wo check kiya…

Freddy: Nahi sir, wo camera to kharab hai…aur uss area me bs ek wahi CCTV hai…

ACP: Hadd hai…acha koshish kerte raho kuch pata chalta hai to…(all nodded and ACP sir moved to his cabin…)

After his visit to Siddhant's house, Daya came back to bureau…seeing him, ACP sir came out…

ACP: Haan Daya, kuch kaam ki baat pata chali? (all others too joined them…)

Daya: Haan sir…ye Shikhar ek businessman hai…yak eh sakte hai tha…(all looked confused…)pichle do saal se inhone apne business me involve hona bilkul chhor diya hai…ab ye company sirf naam se Shishir ji ki hai, warna iska pura kaam unka beta Siddhant hi chalata hai jo ki unka iklauta beta hai…Shishir ji ne kayi baar company Siddhart ke naam pe ker dene ki baat ki per usne mana ker diya…uska kehna hai ki wo issi tarah se comfortable feel kerta hai…aur apne pita ke naam ke karan usko business me fayeda bhi bahu tmilta hai kyuki Shishir ji ek established businessman the…

ACP: Business hai kis chiz ka inka?

Daya: Garment manufacture ka sir…Mumbai me hi do teen manufacturing units hai…sath hi Delhi, Kolkata, Surat jaise bade bade shehro me bhi hai…aura bb unka profit itna jyada hai ki wo desh se bahar bhi apne branches extend kerne ka soch rahe hai…

Vivek: Per sir, koi unko maarna kyu chahega…? Business ke cases me jyadatar murders paiso ke liye hote hai…per yaha to unke bête ko koi zaroorat hi nahi hai aisa kuch ker ne ki…Shishir ji to khud sari property unke naam kerne ko tayar hai…

Daya: Nahi Vivek…saari property nahi…sirf ek company…(to ACP sir…)sir, iss Shishir ke iss company ko chhor ke bhi bahut badi property hai…inki background kisi ameer gharaane se jude hue hai…wo saar iproperty bhi abhi Shishir ji ke naam pe hi hai kyuki wohi iss property ke iklaute waris the…

Freddy: Phir bhi sir, jo beta ek company tak apne naam pe karane nahi de raha wo paiso ke liye apne pita ko maarne ki koshish kyu karega…sari property to waise bhi usi ki hai…

ACP: Ho sakta hai Freddy usne aisa sirf dikawe ke liye kiya ho…sabko lagega ki wo aisa kabhi nahi karega per shayad uski nazar uss pushtaini property pe ho jo uske Shishir ke naam per hai…

Daya: Haan sir , aisa ho sakta hai…wo property iss business kea age bahut bada hai…per Shishir ji uska ek bhi paisa apni company me nahi lagate…saara paisa social work pe hi lagta hai…company uske apne profits per hi chalti hai…

ACP: Matlab unke bête ko uss property ke hone ka koi fayeda nahi milta…

Daya: Bilkul nahi…

Freddy: Phir to sir ye ho sakta hai ki Siddhart ne hi paiso ke liye Shishir ji ko marwaane ki koshish ki ho…

ACP: Haan hone ko to kuch bhi ho sakta hai…(after thinking something…) waise Daya, iss Shishir ka aur koi dushman hai…? Koi business rival ho, koi pariwaar se ya kuch aur…

Vivek: Sir, business me to wo involved the hi nahi…company to unka beta chala raha tha…to koi unhe kyu maarega…

Daya: Vivek, bhale hi kaam Siddhart kerta ho per company hai to abhi tak Shishir ji ke naam pe hi na…sabke liye wohi iss company ke maalik hai to dushmani bhi unhi se hogi…kayi companies hoti hai jinke main kaam koi aur hi manage kerta hai per company me agar koi problems ho to wo owner ko hi face kerne perte hai…aisa hi iss case me bhi hai…(Vivek nodded…Daya turned to ACP sir…) sir, pariwaar me to koi nahi hai…Shishir apne maa baap ka ek hi beta tha aur uske kisi aur rishtedaar ka to Siddhart ko bhi kuch nahi pata…agar ho bhi to sirf Shishir ko hi pata hoga…aur rahi baat business ki to, ek aadmi tha to jiske mann me Shishir ke liye bahut nafrat thi...Tejas naam hai uska…Tejas ka bhi garment manufacture ka hi business tha…Shishir ke company ke karan uske profits bahut kam ho gaye the…per abb wo India me nahi rehta…America chala gaya hai apni baki family ke paas…wahi apna business shift ker liya hai aur acha chal bhi raha hai uska kaam…

ACP: Aur Shishir jo apna branch foreign me extend kerna chahta tha, wo kis desh me kerne wala tha?

Daya: America…(shocked…) matlab sir...Tejas…?

ACP: Haan Daya…ho sakta hai ussi ne kiya ho…socho zara…uska business yaha India me acha chal raha tha per usse yaha se jana pada, kyu…(stressing…) Shishir ke company ke karan…ab jab wo America me chala gaya hai to Shishir apna branch waha bhi extend kerna chahta hai…kahi na kahi uske mann me ye darr zaroor hoga ki kahi iss baar bhi usko loss na ho inke karan…

Freddy: Par sir, sirf ek darr ke karan koi kisi ka khoon ker sakta hai kya!

ACP: Freddy insan kab kya ker jaye koi nahi keh sakta…aur hum jab koi case solve ker rahe hai to hume har aspect dhyaan me rakh ker aage barhna hoga…ho sakta hai ki Tejas ne kuch na kiya ho, per ye soch ker hum usse ignore bhi nahi ker sakte…Vivek aur Freddy, aisa karo…ye Tejas aur Siddhant…dono ke movements per dhyaan rakho…(They nodded in yes and went off to call their khabris…)

ACP: Acha Daya, ek baat tab se mere dimaag me chal rahi hai…ye Shishir ne business me involve hona chora hi kyu…acha to chal raha tha uske hote hue bhi, phir?

Daya: Haan sir par pichle kuch saalo se unka psychiatric treatment chal raha tha…usi ke chalte wo business se door ho gaye…

ACP: Psychiatric treatment…! Aisa kya hua tha?

Daya: Sir wo False Memory Syndrome ke patient the…uske psychiatric se bhi mil ke aya hu…usse pata chala ki Shishir ka dimaag aisi baaton ko sach maan leta hai jo asal me hui hi na ho…unke bête se iss baare me poocha to usne bhi yahi kaha…wo bata bhi raha tha ki pichle mahine bhi unke sath aisa hua…wo pair fisalne se stairs se gir gaye the aur baad me unhone sabse kaha ki unke nauker ne unhe dhakka mara…jabki unka nauker to do din se ghar pe bhi nahi tha…ye haadsa unke bête ke saamne hi hua tha, aur usne khud dekha tha ki waha koi bhi nahi tha, Shishir ji khud hi gire the…Doctor ka kehna hai ki unse treatment kerwane se pehle unka treatment kahi aur chal raha tha…usi treatment ke side effects hai ye jisse unhe ye problem ho gayi hai…

ACP (happily): Daya agar aisa hai to ye bhi to mumkin hai na ki Abhijeet per wo jo ilzaam laga rahe hai wo bhi unka koi wahem ho…unhe aisa lag raha ho ki unhone Abhijeet ko dekha ho jabki asal me aisa tha hi nahi…

Daya: Haan sir…mujhe bhi ye baat sunke yahi khayal aya…aur lagta bhi hai ki aisa hi hua hai…(confusingly…) per sir Abhijeet hi kyu…hum sab bhi to the…usne humme se kisi ke liye bhi aisa kuch nahi kaha…

ACP: Ho sakta hai Daya uss haadse ke waqt usne Abhijeet ko hi dekha tha isiliye…hum to nahi the na…tum bhi baad me hi gaye the…to ho sakta hai ki uska chehra uske zehen me reh gaya ho aur uske dimag ne dono cheezo ko milake apni hi kahani bana li…

Daya: Haan sir…jab tak mai waha pahucha, wo behosh ho chuke the…aur jab beech me ek baar hosh me aye tab bhi Abhijeet hi unke paas tha, mai nahi…

ACP: Wahi to…aur…

ACP's phone rang…he saw it and then turned to Daya…

ACP: Salunkhe ka call hai…mai baat ker ke aata hu, tum mere cabin me wait karo, mujhe baat kerni hai kuch…(saying so he went aside and Daya entered his cabin…)

After the call got over, ACP sir too entered his cabin and took his seat…

ACP: Daya, aaj tum gaye the na milne Abhijeet se…theek hai wo? (Daya was shocked as to how he knew about his visit to Abhijeet's home…ACP called little louder…) DAYA…!

Daya came out of shock: Haan…haan sir, wo theek hai…

ACP: To mana liya kal bureau aane ke liye…(Daya smiled shyly…ACP smiled too…ACP added…) chalo phir abb lag jao kaam pe…kal wo aata hai to uska tohfa usse yaha tayyar milna chahiye na…

Daya (smiled with): Ji sir…(turned serious now…) sir wo Salunkhe sir ne call kiya tha na…pata chala kya kuch…

ACP too turned serious now: Haan case ke liye hi kiya tha per kuch hath nahi laga…waha sirf Shishir ka hi khoon mila hai…aur kisi ka nahi…

Daya: Hmm…khooni ka bhi hota to usse dhundna asaan ho jata…(sighed…) to sir ab hum tab tak baith to nahi sakte jab tak Siddhart ya Tejas ke baare me kuch pata chale…

ACP: Nahi baithenge to nahi…dekho, ek jaal bichaya to hai maine…dekhte hai kuch milta hai ya nahi…

Daya: Trap…? Kiske liye…? Aapne bataya nahi hume…?

ACP: Haan bas aaj subah jab gaya than a bahar…tab issi kaam se gaya tha…wapas ayaa to case ki baaki details me busy ho gaya to ye baat reh hi gayi…waise bhi mai confirm nahi hu to…

Daya: Apko kisi pe shak hai kya sir…?

ACP: Hmm…khoon kerwaane wale ka to pata nahi per shayad khoon kerne wale ka pata chal jaye…

Daya (impatiently): Kaun hai sir wo…ek baar wo hath lag jaye to khoon kerwaane wala bhi mil jayega…

ACP: Daya wo…(and his phone rang again…Daya was looking really impatient as he just wanted the call to get ended so that he can get that name and grab that person's neck…while he was thinking all this, ACP sir suddenly exclaimed…) kya…! sahi bol raha hai na bilkul…dekh garbar nahi honi chahiye baad me…agar pata chala na ki khabar galat hai to dekh phir…acha acha theek hai…wahi rukna, hum aate hai thori der me…(and he cut the call and turned to Daya with…) chalo Daya…jaldi…(and left the cabin…Daya was not understanding anything, but still followed him…)

They sat in the car and Daya started driving as ACP sir said "Crime spot…"

They reached the spot in twenty minutes…Daya parked the car in the next lane to the main road where that under construction building was…they approached a man who was ACP sir's khabri…Daya was shocked to see that khabri…

ACP: Haan Birju…kaha hai wo…

Birju: Wahi pe hai sahab…

Daya (shocked): Sir ye…sir ye to wo chaye ki dukaan wala…(peddler 1 in 1st chapter…)

ACP: Mera khabri hai Daya ye…(Daya was more shocked as the previous day, it didn't seem to be so at all…) Kal jab yaha aye the hum tab maine yaha ke ek thele wale ko pehchaan liya…(looking Daya little confused…) wohi jo kal Abhijeet ke haatho phasa tha (Daya nodded…) per mai confirm nahi tha…tabhi mai tum logo ke jaane ke thori der tak wahi ruka raha, unn logo se baat kerne taaki mujhe kuch yaad aye, aur mujhe yakeen ho gaya ki wo aadmi Kaliya hi hai…ek contract killer…uska waha thela laga ke baithna mujhe ajeeb laga isiliye raat se ise kaam pe laga diya hai…

Birju: Haan sahab…(smiling…) khaas khabri hai na mai sahab ka…saare ulte seedhe kaam sahab mere ko hi dete hai…(and he looked at ACP who was looking at him with fiery eyes…Daya too was smiling under breathe…)

ACP: Tere paise cut abb se…

Birju's eyes opened wide: Sahab…! Mai kuch bola kya…mai kabhi kuch bol sakta hai kya apke baare me…

ACP: Chal chal…jyada makkhan lagane ki zaroorat nahi hai…kaam ki baat ker abb…

Birju (turned little sad): Sahab wo Kaliya yaha nahi aata tha pehle kabhi…do teen din pehle hi ye thela lagaya aur kal raat ke baad se har 15 minute me kisi ka call aa raha hai…aaj dekho na, subah bhi thela laga ke baitha hai…roz sirf raat ko aata hai…aaj jab wo chupker uss building ke andar gaya to mai bhi uske saath chala gaya aur uski baatein suni…wo kisi ladki se baat ker raha tha...

Daya (confused): Ladki se? Per sir iss case me to koi ladki nahi hai…(to Birju…) tumne suna wo kya baatein ker rahe the…

Birju: Haan sahab…suna…wo ussi aadmi ke khoon ke baare me bol rahe the…wo ladki Kaliya ko daat rahi thi ki usne paise lekar bhi kaam pura nahi kiya aur CID bhi beech me aa gayi…aur Kaliya keh raha tha ki kal tak wo aadmi nahi bachega…

ACP: Hum dekhte hai kaun bachega aur kaun nahi…wahi hai na…chalo isse bhi milte hai…

Birju (afraid): Sahab…aap log mil lo…mai kya karega…mai to roz milta hai na…

ACP nodded disappointedly and said: Theek hai ja…(as Birju turned to go…)aur sun…

Birju: Ji sahab…(ACP sir handed him his money and a bright smile appeared on Birju's face…) thenk you sahab…aur koi kaam ho to yaad kerna…abhi mai chalta hai sahab…(and he left…)

Daya and ACP sir went to the stalls where Kaliya was sitting, talking on phone…as soon as he cut the call, someone caught him from his neck and pulled him up…he was shocked as that was unexpected for him and when he saw the face of the person, he got more shocked…

Kaliya: Sahab, aap log…kya hua sahab…

Daya (in anger): Kya hua…(pressing his neck more…) maine kaha tha na…koi ulti seedhi harkat ki to mujh se koi bachane wala bhi nahi hoga…ab dekh tu…(Daya left his neck and turned him in jerk towards himself and slapped so tightly on his face that though being well build, he fell on the ground…) ek aadmi ka khoon kerne chala tha…aur pooch raha hai kya kiya…(grabbed his shirt collar and made him stand…) bata kisne kerwaya hai ye sab…(jerking him badly with…) bol jaldi…

Kaliya: Sahab apun ko kuch samajh nahi aa raha hai…kya bol rahe ho…maine kuch nahi kiya…

Daya (to ACP): Sir, ye aise nahi maanege…ise bureau le chal ker puchte hai…phir dekhiyega kaise ise sab yaad aa jata hai…

ACP: Le chalo…

Daya dragged him towards their car…here ACP sir, after calling Vivek and Freddy back to bureau dialled another number and when received said in his strict tone…

ACP: Abhijeet…bees minute me bureau pahucho…(and he cut the call without listening anything from the other side…)

In Bureau…

Kaliya was sitting on the central round table where other officers were surrounding him…Daya was asking him so many questions but Kaliya was not ready to tell anything…

Daya (in extreme anger): Dekh Kaliya…tu…(he stopped hearing the door open and seeing Abhijeet entering, left Kaliya and backed…)

Abhijeet: Sir, aapne bulaya mujhe…

ACP: Haan…(pointing Kaliya with eyes…) isse statement leni hai kal raat hue murder attempt ki…Daya kafi koshish ker chukka hai per ye manne ko tayyar nahi…tum baat karoge isse…?

Abhijeet: Isne kiya tha ye sab? (ACP nodded in yes…Abhijeet came in front of Kaliya and shocked to see the same peddler who was blaming him the night before…) Ye…!

Daya: Haan Abhijeet…isi ne Shishir ji ko maarne ki koshish ki aur dobara kerne wala tha per pakra gaya…lekin manne ko tayyar nahi…

Abhijeet: Kal mujhe khooni bol raha tha aur yaha khud khoon kerta phir raha hai…(fixing his piercing stare on Kaliya, said to ACP…) sir, mai zara isse akele me baat ker sakta hu?

ACP: Mujhe koi problem nahi hai…(Abhijeet smiled seeing the colours changing over Kaliya's face…all except Abhijeet moved to the next room…)

After sometime, Abhijeet called them back…

ACP: Ker li baat Abhijeet…?

Abhijeet: Maine to apni baat ker li sir per abb inhe bhi kuch bolna hai…maine socha hum sabhi sun le…

Daya (to Kaliya): Abb bol…

Kaliya: Kya bolu...pata to hai sab kuch tum logo ko…Kaaliya naam hai, supari lekar khoon kerta hu, Shishir ki supari bhi apun ko hi mili thi…(disgusted tone…)per bach gaya sala…aaj tak koi nahi bacha hai inn hatho se per wo Buddha bach gaya…mera ek lakh ka nuksaan kara diya…

Abhijeet: Kisne kaha tha ye kerne ke liye…

Kaaliya: Koi Navya naam ki ladki hai…

ACP: Kaha milegi…? Phone number hai? (Kaliya nodded and gave them the phone number…Vivek immediately tracked the number and went with a lady police officer to arrest her from her home where her mobile was tracked…Here, Freddy took Kaliya to the bureau lockup…)

After, Navya arrived, she was questioned about the crime but she denied to accept it…but later was forced to accept it when she got to know about Kaliya being arrested and his acception of the crime…she gave the statement as…

Navya: Maine Kaliya ko contract diya tha Shishir uncle ko maarne ka…

Daya: Uncle?

Navya: Haan…mai Siddhant ki fiancé hu…uncle mujhpar trust kerne lage the aur maine usi ka fayeda uthaya…maine job hi kiya Siddhart ke liye kiya…taaki usse sari property mil jaye…uncle ne to sara business uspar chhor diya per ek ek paise ka hisab lete the…maine kitna samjhaya tha Siddhant ko per usko meri baat samajh hi nahi aati thi…usko to siway apne dad ke kuch dikhta hi nahi hai…iss baat se mujhe aur gussa aata tha…bhala koi aise pariwaar me kaise reh sakta hai jaha uski value hi na ho…Siddhant ko mai jab bhi uske dad ke khilaaf kuch bhi bolti thi wo mujhpar hi gussa kerta tha…mere se lad jata tha unke liye…(taking a pause…) maine decide ker liya…jis insaan ke karan hum dono ke rishtey per itna bura asar pad raha hai, uss insaan ko hi raaste se hata dungi…bas, uske baad maine Kaliya se mili apne ek purane contact ke through aur use Shishir uncle ko maarne ka contract de diya…(angry) par uss bewakoof se itna bhi kaam theek se nahi hua…(looking at Abhijeet now…) aur aapke iss officer ko bhi ussi samay waha pahuchna tha…(hit the table with a fist…)arre yaar das minute aage peeche aa jate to sab saaf ker diya hota...(Daya and ACP looked at Abhijeet with a small teasing smile while Abhijeet found it better not to look at them at the moment…they looked back at Navya who said in low sad tone…) mere paise bhi waste ker diye…

The officers nodded disappointedly at such thoughts and acts of a young girl like her…

Navya was taken away by the lady officer to the lockup…

Here, Daya silently came behind Abhijeet and said in low tone so that only Abhijeet can hear him: Abhijeet (Abhijeet turned to him questioningly…)Kaliya se kya bola tumne…awaaz bhi nahi ayi bilkul aur uska statement dene ka mood bhi ban gaya…hm?

Abhijeet (naughtily): Apna style hai…(said in whisper in Daya's ear…) secret hai…

Daya looked at him with a 'achaaa!' look while Abhijeet moved from there smiling…Abhijeet came to ACP sir who was looking at them in small smile and all others followed…

ACP (teasingly): Gussa thanda hua? (Abhijeet smiled shyly and nodded innocently)…waise Abhijeet sir (Abhijeet embarrassed…) jab apko gussa aata hai to apka sharp brain aur sharp eyes kaha jaate hai, hm?

Daya was just smiling during all this while Abhijeet was confused, as he did not understand the reason for those taunts…now seeing his friend in such a situation, Daya came up for his help…

Daya: Abhijeet, tum uss din gusse me mere ko daat ke to chale gaye per meri baat to suni hi nahi…agar suni hoti to mujhe tumhe sari investigation ki detains na deni perti khamakha itni energy na waste hoti…

Abhijeet seeing his leg pulling session not reaching an end, in irritated voice: Yaad Daya…

ACP: Ruk jao tum dono…mai batata hu…Vivek zara Abhijeet ke wo call records lana jo humne track kerwaye the…(Abhijeet turned little sad remembering that…Vivek got the records and ACP handed it to Abhijeet…) zara batao kiske records hai…

Abhijeet (sad): Mere sir…

Daya (softly): Aur number kiska hai?

Abhijeet: Of course mere hi…(he stopped and looked at the sheet again and shocked to see the number…) ye number…per ye to chori ho gaya tha…aur maine ise inactivate bhi…(remembering something closed his eyes tightly with) oh no…maine ise inactivate hi nahi kerwaya tha…uss din mobile company se baat hone se pehle hi disconnect ho gaya aur phir tabhi DIG sir aa gaya aur urgent basis pe mujhe mission pe bhej diya gaya tha…damn it…itni badi galti mai kaise ker sakta hu…(then to ACP sir…)per sir, achaanak ye number track kerwaya…koi use ker raha tha kya?

ACP: Haan…jab mujhe Kaliya pe shak hua to mujhe laga ki bina saboot ke usse arrest karenge to asli mujrim hoshiyaar ho jayega…maine socha uske call records nikalwa lu kisi tarah…maine Birju se madad li…usne mauka dekh ke Kaliya ke mobile se mujhe call kiya to number dekh ke mai hairaan ho gaya…(pointing to the call records in Abhijeet's hands…) wo yahi number tha…(little angrily…) tumne to mission pe jaane se pehle hume bhi nahi bataya ki humme se hi koi sim block kerwa de…hume sirf tumhare new number ka pata tha…itne numbers hote hai tumhare ki humne phir pucha bhi nahi ki dusra number kyu liya…

Abhijeet (innocently): Haan sir wo zaroorat perti hai na alag alag numbers ki…(looked towards Daya who immediately started staring the opposite wall…)

ACP (fake anger): Haan…ulte seedhe plans banana ke liye iske sath, hai na…(Duo looked down embarrassed…ACP added…) khair, uske baad maine tumhara number track kerwaya aur usme se uske sare contactcs nikaale…do teen extra log bhi jail pahuch gaye iss chakkar me jo kisi na kisi crime me involved the aur uske contact me the…per usme aisa koi number nahi mila jasper Shishir per hue humle ko lekar shak kiya ja sake…shayad dusra mobile use kerta hoga apne kaam ke liye kyuki tumhare number se to jitney calls aye ya gaye hai wo sab ya to iske gang ke members hai ya phir koi aur criminal…(after a pause…)Freddy ko bhi uske informers ke through tumpar nazar isiliye rakhne ko bola tha taaki pata chal sake ki Kaliya ya uska koi aadmi tumhare aas paas aane ki koshish kerta hai ya nahi…kyuki unke liye tumhara waha hona khatra ho sakta tha, chahe tumne kisi ko humla kerte hue na dekha ho…police rekhta to unko shak ho jata jo mai nahi chahta tha ki ho…

Abhijeet: Matlab apne mere protection ke liye…(in low tone…) aapko shuru se hi mujhpe shak nahi tha?

ACP (softly): Shak mujhe kabhi bhi nahi hota hai tum logo ke kisi bhi kaam pe…(in low tone…) bas tum log apne nazariye se dekhte ho aur mai apne…(saying so, he left the bureau…)

Abhijeet was looking after listening the last line...Daya sighed deeply and said to change the atmosphere…

Daya (in jolly tone): Yaar Abhijeet…sir ne kamala ka gift diya hai yaar tumhe…

Abhijeet (confused): Gift…? Kaunsa gift…?

Daya: Kaaliya…

Abhijeet: Ain?

Daya(laughing): Sir keh rahe the ki Abhijeet ke liye tohfa tayyar rakhna hai…

Abhijeet: Kya…seriously…! (Daya nodded…) Kya yaar…sir ke tohfe bhi itne khatarnaak hote hai na ki bas…humesha cases, missions aur iss baar ka latest…Supari Killer…!

Daya started laughing loudly which caused others to laugh aloud as well who were trying hard to control their laughs till now…

Abhijeet: Haso mat samjhe…Freddy, tumhe tumhare last birthday per kya gift kiya tha sir ne…subah wish kerte hi lagataar do dino tak case me laga diya…(Freddy stopped laughing remembering that other's leg pulling during those 2 days while Vivek could just not control himself and continuously laughing…)

Freddy(scolding him): Chup ker tu…abhi tera birthday ayega to dekh sir kya dete hai…

Vivek (sweetly): Mujhe to sir ne watch diya tha…itna acha tha…dekha tha na apne…

Freddy(annoyingly): Haan haan…

Duo seeing the never-ending fight starting between the two interrupted them…

Abhijeet: Acha chalo bahut ho gaya hasi mazak…raat hone lagi hai…ghar chalo sab…mai sir ko bol dunga…

Freddy, Vivek moved first and duo came behind them…Daya was in no mood to spare Abhijeet today…so he again started…

Daya(poking Abhijeet from behind): Yaar abb na tum bata hi do…

Abhijeet: Kya…?

Daya: Kya bola tumne Kaaliya se…

A/N: Aha…! Ker hi liya maine khatam…

Well, the story ends here…aage ki masti between duo is upon reader's own imagination as I don't want to drag and spoil it more… ;)
