Hi friends, sorry for not updating the last chapter of Determination, I really wanted to start writing something new as I was so bored with everything these days, hehe… Anyhow, as have told earlier, still unable to write any OS, so have started writing this story and this is not pre-written so your feedback is going to work like petrol, aap log jaldi jaldi feedback doo gy tou main jaldi jaldi chapter likh paon gi, that's a deal, pakka… ;) :-*
Want to clear a few things about this story:
1) This story might be wrong lawfully as laws of both India and Pakistan are different so I won't be touching that part much…
2) Secondly, the investigative part would be at its minimum, any confusion will be answered in replies…
3) I have rated this story "T" because the theme of the story is quite bold, anyone feeling uncomfortable or disturbed can leave it anytime but I don't want any bashing…
4) Healthy criticism is as always completely welcomed…
5) And lastly, happy reading… ;)
An advance apology from my side if any of my words will hurt anyone…
Do take great care of yourselves, friends, considering the situation these days…
Regards…

CID Bureau…
It might be was just another casual regular morning for the people living in the city Mumbai but not for the cops working in that prestigious building, known as the Bureau of CID Mumbai… For them no day, night or morning was the same as before and it might, never will be again…
The clock was striking 09:31 am and all the cops could be seen present on their respective desks, busy in working on their PCs or files in complete silence having seriousness on their faces…
When the silence inside the Bureau was disturbed listening to the sounds of some footsteps resulting the attentions of the officers diverted towards the Bureau hall's entrance and seeing DIG sir coming inside, followed by DCP sir, all the cops instantly stood up in an alert position, coming out from their respective desks… They wished them morning while ACP sir had also moved out from his cabin, seeing them there and…
ACP sir asked in a calm professional tone as: Sir aap log yahan…?
DIG sir nodded with: You know it Pradyuman that today was the case's hearing… (The body language of all the officers standing there turned stiff while after glancing over one of the quietly standing officers, he turned his gaze back towards ACP sir with…) Minister Shastri is sentenced to fifteen years imprisonment along with getting blacklisted for life from pursuing any political career and his punishment will start once he gets discharged from that asylum…
All the officers had released deep contended breaths like some unseen heavy burden had finally released from their shoulders, when one of the standing officers, feeling his feet could no longer carry him, sat on his knees while placing his palms on the floor and letting a silent drop fell from his eye… Everyone standing there could very well understand what that decision meant to him and how long and how much desperately he must have waited for this particular moment…
Where moving from his place, ACP sir approached his son and bowing near him…
ACP sir supportively pressed his shoulder with: Abhijeet…!
Abhijeet still not moving an inch replied in relieved-moist tone as: Hum jeet gaye sir, finally hum jeet gaye…
And he chuckled while turning his blurry gaze towards his father who nodded him supportively with same moist eyes and…
ACP sir smoothly patted on his shoulder with: Utho baita, khary ho jao, shabash…
Abhijeet while wiping off the moisture nodded and inhaling deeply, stood up again, composing himself as much as he could while…
DIG sir said in composed tone to him as: Abhijeet we know what Senior Inspector Daya meant to you and that's why I personally want to thank you for keeping patience and following our orders during this whole case…
Abhijeet looked towards him with: Thank you sir and I did all that for my brother… (Concluded in a firm tone as…) Who still means the world to me…
DIG sir nodded calmly with: I can understand it Abhijeet…
Abhijeet gave him a silent smile where…
DCP sir said as: Senior Inspector Daya k case ka decision kal tk officially bhi aap logon tk pohanch jaye ga lekin hum janty thy k aap sb iss decision ka kitni baechaini sy intezar ker rahy hoon gy aur phir hum chahty thy k yeh decision hum khud personally aap logon ko btaien, iss liye hum court sy seedha yahan aa gaye…
ACP sir nodded with: Thank you sir, thank you so much…
DIG sir told them calmly as: Well, thank you for your time officers, we will leave you to your work now…
But before he could turn…
Abhijeet hurriedly stopped him with: Sir…! (And seeing the questioning gaze turned towards him, he added in composed tone as…) Sir the officer you have mentioned earlier for appointing here in place of Senior Inspector Daya… (Inhaling deeply, told him in firm tone as…) We are ready to welcome him now sir…
DIG sir asked him a little surprised tone as: Are you sure Senior Inspector Abhijeet…?
Abhijeet nodded in composed tone as: Yes sir because we know that Daya will not be returning here now… (Taking a small pause to fight back the moisture threatening to fell down from his eyes any moment now, he added as…) And I want to personally thank you sir for understanding our feelings and earlier stopping the transfer of that officer…
DIG sir gave him an understanding smile and then looked towards ACP sir to receive an assuring node in reply and nodding him back, he left from there with DCP sir without any further discussion…
While…
ACP sir looking towards his officers told them in a moist smile as: Congratulations for your efforts, very well done… (And in return he received silent teary smiles with contended nodes when turning towards his right-hand man, ACP sir concluded as…) Abhijeet tum mairy sath cabin mein aana zrra…
Abhijeet nodding him followed him inside the cabin…
ACP sir's Cabin…
ACP sir after locking the cabin's door turned towards his injured son, who was sitting there quietly really trying his best to look composed but he knew well exactly what he was going through at the moment so approaching him with slow steps…
ACP sir while sitting in front of him, asked him softly as: Tum janty ho kya Abhijeet k main ny tumhien yahan kyun bulaya…? (Abhijeet still looking down just shook his head where ACP sir inhaling deeply, added quietly as…) Ta k tum aaram sy roo sako… (Abhijeet lifted his teary gaze up and ACP sir concluded in moist tone as…) Yeh cabin sound proof hai baita…
Abhijeet looked at him for few moments in silence and then suddenly he just burst out in tears loudly while hiding his face in his hands… ACP sir standing from his place smoothly wrapped him in a tight comforting hug, who had tightly wrapped his both arms around his father's waist…
ACP sir in silence kept rubbing his head and not even once tried to stop him from crying knowing well that those were not the tears but the pain, hurt and agony he was storing inside himself from last around seven months to shed at this particular day when finally he got successful in bringing his brother, his justice…
After a few minutes when seeing him calming down a little…
ACP sir smoothly pulled him apart and grabbing a glass of water from his table, he silently forwarded it towards his sobbing kid, whose face had turned red because of pain and harsh crying…
Seeing Abhijeet had taken a few sips, looking little composed now…
ACP sir grabbing the glass from him told him politely as: Abhijeet, baita ghar jao tum ab, yahan ka…
Abhijeet slightly shook his head while cutting him with: Nahin sir, main…
ACP sir cut him in fatherly-firm tone as: Abhijeet…!
Abhijeet surrendered with: Theek hai sir, main jata hoon thori daer mein…
ACP sir shook his head while standing with: Bilkul nahin, pehly ja k mun dho… (Softly weaved in his head, combing his now messy hair, added softly as…) Apna yeh huliya theek kro iss cabin sy nikalny sy pehly… (And then cupping his face, added in affectionate smile as…) Aur phir seedha ghar jao, hmm…?
Abhijeet nodded in composed smile where placing a soft kiss on his forehead, ACP sir freed his face and Abhijeet standing from his place, left to obey his father… Soon he returned from the bathroom, looking much composed and nearly the same tough CID cop now and…
Abhijeet said in light smile as: Sir main nikalta hoon phir, lekin koe bhi kaam ho tou mujhy bula lijiye ga please…
ACP sir nodded in assuring smile with: Promise…
Abhijeet chuckled sweetly on that assurance and then left from there still having a small smile on his face…
Bureau Hall…
Abhijeet coming out from ACP sir's cabin found the other TRIO still busy in cherishing the news they had received few minutes back when seeing him returning, Freddy hurriedly approached him and before he could get any chance to understand anything…
Freddy wrapped him in a tight squeezing hug with: Sir chahien aap mujhy dantt bhi lien lekin mujhy aap ko glly lgga k hi badhai daini hai aaj…
Abhijeet chuckled softly while giving a soft pat on his back with: Main tumhein kyun dantton ga Freddy, yeh bhi koe danttny wali baat hai yar…
Freddy moved back and wiping off the drop that had just slipped from his eye's corner, he said in wet smile as: Thank you sir…
Abhijeet just gave a supportive pat on his shoulder and then turning his gaze towards the other two officers, to find them looking towards the two holding moisture in their eyes…
Abhijeet lifting his both eyebrows simultaneously, asked in a friendly tone as: Tum logon ny badhai nahin daini kya mujhy, hmm…?
A drop fell from Tasha's eye and moving forward hurriedly, she gave him a tight comforting side hug with: Sir, thank you, humary sath bnney rehny k liye, thank you…
Abhijeet softly rubbed her head with: Pagal, tum logon ko chhor k kahan ja sakta hoon main…
And he softly patted her head where giving him a moist smile she moved back and…
Vivek shook hand with him with: Congratulations sir, qanoon aur paisy ki jung mein, aik barey bhai ka vishvas jeet gaya aaj…
Abhijeet inhaled a deep happy breath while giving him a moist smile and then removing the salty water from the corner of his eye…
Abhijeet said in composed tone as: Mujhy bhi tum sb ko congrates kehna hai aaj ki jeet py, aakhir yeh saffar hum sb ny mil k hi tou teh kia hai na…
Freddy said in comforting tone as: Aur sir aagy bhi hum hr saffar mil ker hi teh krien gy…
Abhijeet gave him an assuring node and then said in fresh tone as: Achha khair, Bureau ka aur sir ka khayal rakhna, kal milty hain…
Freddy stopped him unintentionally with: Sir aap…
Abhijeet without looking at him, cut him with: Ghar ja raha hoon, Daya ko badhai dainy…
All three gazes went completely quiet where without having any other word with any of them, Abhijeet left from there the same minute…
In Cab…
Coming out from Bureau's building, Abhijeet hired a cab because of knowing well that he wouldn't be able to concentrate on driving today and telling the address to the cab's driver, he silently rested his head on the head-rest, closing his eyes…
On the screen of his brain, the day of the Sunday flashed when…
Abhijeet could be seen present in his room in front of his dressing table, combing his hair when moved his gaze listening a loud whistle followed by…
A mischievous comment as: Lagta hai kisi bohut khas jagah janey ki taiyari ho rahi hai Boss…?
Abhijeet again concentrating on his previous work replied calmly as: Minister Shastri sir k ghar ki…
Daya still standing on the door-step while resting his shoulder on the wall and crossing arms on his chest let out a rather exaggerated breath with: A-haaan, ghar ki… (While hiding his smile and trying to look serious, added as…) Boss, bs aaj hi baat pkki ker aana…
Abhijeet, placing the comb back, looked at his reflection in the mirror in confusion with: Kya matlab…?
Daya wearing fake innocent expressions on his face, replied as: Tumhary rishty ki baat aur kya…?
Abhijeet left towards his study-table with: Daya subah subah dimagh kharab na ker, kaam kerny dy mujhy…
Daya making face replied as: Ab tum jb Sunday ki subah, dulhy ki tarhan taiyar ho rahy ho gy tou main tou pouchhon ga hi na…
Abhijeet showing him a paper-weight, threatened him with: Daya bhaag ja yahan sy, main ny yeh chhor k marna hai ab tujhy…
Daya standing straight replied grumpily as: Ja raha hoon, hr samey kaam hi kerty rehna tum tou, hunh…
And seeing him turning…
Abhijeet stopped him with: Achha suun…?
Daya looked towards him in question with: Hmm, kya hua…?
Abhijeet after throwing a glance over himself, looked towards him innocently with: Sach mein over-dressed lg raha hoon kya…?
A beautiful smile approached the latter's face on that query and…
Daya slightly shook his head with: Aik dmm hero lg rahy ho Boss, dulhy nahin…
Abhijeet warned him with: Daya…!
Daya chuckled with: Achha sorry… (And then trying to look serious, added as…) Bs aik chhota sa problem hai…
Abhijeet asked in confusion as: Kya…?
Daya slowly approaching him, suddenly messed up his combed hair and then stepping back, looked at him with: Ab zada achhy lg rahy ho…
Abhijeet, who was standing there in shock, gaining back his senses hit a hard punch on Daya's upper arm with: Manhos insan hai tu aik number ka Daya, gadha na ho tou, pehly hi late ho raha hai mujhy, oper sy tairy faltu dimagh mein hr samey faltu k ideas aaty rehty hain… (Now standing in front of his dressing-table, grabbed the comb again with…) Kitni baar mnna kia hai iss gadhy ko, mairy baalon ko hath mtt lgaya ker…
Daya still rubbing his upper-arm, grumbled loudly with: Hunh baal na ho gaye, daish ka khazana ho gaya js ko koe aam nagrik chhoo nahin sakta… (Ignoring Abhijeet's fiery glance, added as…) Easi ki taisi tumhari aur tumhari inn khobsorat zulfon ki… (While sitting on his bed, making face added as…) Main tou tumhary hi faidy ki baat ker raha tha… (Looked at him mischievously with…) Minister k jamai…
And he stopped right there while hurriedly ducking away, seeing the flying comb coming towards him followed by…
Abhijeet's angry toned voice as: Nikal mairy kamry sy foren, aur ab ager tu ny koe fazool bkwas ki na tou main sahab ka rishta pkka ker aaon ga aaj hi…
Daya grumbled while standing with: Hunh, ja raha hoon… (Told him burningly with…) Aur bilkul bhi hero nahin lg rahy, bohut hi burey lg rahy ho…
Abhijeet gave a cold smile with: Thank you…
Seeing his efforts going in vain, Daya left the room in frustration when soon getting an idea, he started singing in loud tone while sitting on lounge's sofa as…
Urrien Jb Jb Zulfien Tairi, Kanwarion Ka Dil Machly,
Haan Kanwarion Ka…
And he stopped right there with a hand hardly pressed against his mouth though he was still laughing while sidewise receiving smacks and frustrated snubbing…
And Abhijeet opened his eyes, listening to someone calling him and he looked in the direction in confusion while…
The cab-driver repeated as: Saab, ghar aa gaya jee…
Abhijeet, who was composed now, nodded and paying the fare left the cab and the cab driver went away…
Abhijeet looked towards the home in front of him for few moments and then inhaling a deep breath, stepped forward towards the main door… He had just inserted the key in the lock to unlock the main door when his ringing mobile grabbed his attention and leaving the key there, he took out his mobile and after seeing the caller-ID a silent smile formed on his face…
Abhijeet while sitting on the door-step of the house attended the call with: Hello, kaisy ho…?
The callee replied in silent smile as: Theek hoon aur tum…?
Abhijeet inhaled deeply with: Main bhi…
The callee leaving the topic there, asked calmly as: Daya k case ki date thi na aaj…? Kuchh ptta chala…?
Abhijeet mentally kicked himself for forgetting to tell him the latest and replied in regret-filled tone as: Really sorry yar, news tou aik ghanta hua aa gae thi, mujhy bilkul dihan hi nahin aaya tumhien btany ka…
The callee tried to console him with: I can understand Abhijeet, it's completely alright yun bhi maira mobile off tha tou tum pehly call kerty bhi tou mujhy nahin milti… (Added in silent tone as…) Khair btao kya ptta chala, next date mil gae kya…?
Abhijeet inhaled a deep cheer-filled breath with: Pandran saal ki szza ho gae hai ussy Sunil, hamesha k liye blacklist ho gaya hai woh…
Sunil uttered in loud cheer-filled tone as: Sach, yeh tou bohut khushi ki baat hai Abhijeet… (While wiping off the moisture from his cheek, added as…) Main bohut khush hoon yar, bohut zada khush, finally yeh din aa hi gaya js ka hum sb ny itna intezar kia… Congratulations my friend, jeet gaye tum…
Abhijeet replied in soothing smile with: Hum jeet gaye Sunil, hum sb…
Sunil asked him a little silently with: Kahan ho tum…? Bureau mein…?
Abhijeet getting silent, replied as: Ghar aaya hoon, Daya ko bhi tou bttana hai na… (Added in lost tone as…) Intezar tou uss ny bhi kia ho ga iss din ka…
Sunil, clearing sensing the moisture coming in his tone, replied in composed tone as: Abhijeet main aaj dopahar mein tumhari taraf aa jaon…?
Abhijeet wiping off the drop from the corner of his eye, replied in fresh tone as: Tumhara apna ghar hai Sunil, ijjazat kyun ly rahy ho yar…?
Sunil nodded with: Thank you… (Added in light smiley tone as…) Lekin aik shart hai mairi…?
Abhijeet asked in confused smile with: Aur woh kya…?
Sunil replied smilingly as: Tum lunch py maira intezar kro gy…?
Abhijeet laughed sweetly with: Manzoor hai…
Sunil chuckled with: Okay, see you then…
Abhijeet nodded in light smile with: Take care, bye…
Sunil concluded the conversation smilingly with: You too, bye…
And the call got ended from both sides where Abhijeet detaching the mobile from his ear, exhaled a heavy breath and unlocking the main door, entered inside, closing and locking the main door on his back again…
