Update 4
Maine mud ke dekha to samne ek lamba chauda admi khada tha... Kad me shayad mujhse bhi thoda lamba... Par umar ki wajah se sharir thoda jhuk gaya tha... Par fir bhi takriban 60 65 ki umar me bhi wo kafi taqatwaar maloom par rahe the...
"With due respect to your concern sir... Mai aur nahi ruk paunga... Mujhe is waqt bohot zaroori kaam hai... Mujhe Smriti ke pass jana hai".
"Smriti ko hospital le gaye hai... Waha uska ilaj ho raha hai... Tum koi doctor to nahi... Ki uske liye is waqt dua se jyada kuvh kar paoge... Aur dua tum yahan ruk kar bhi kar sakte ho..."
Wo admi mujhse baat kar hi raha tha ki wo do ladkiyan jisme se ek kanam Yasmeen aur ek ka nam Suman tha... Aur sath hi ek ladka... Mere aas pass akar khade ho gaye... Maine gaur kiya ki sab ke pass bandookein thi aur mai is waqt khali hath tha... Mai bed par pair chadha kar baith gaya...
"Everyone Relax... Ye bhi ek officer hai... Acche se pesh aao inke sath..."
Us admi ki baat par wo teeno idhar udhar rakhe chair aur sofe par baith gaye...
"Kya mai jan sakta hoon... Ki yahan kya ho raha hai? Aur ap log kaun hai?"
Maine shant tarike se pucha...
"Mera nam Sanjeev Kelkar hai... Mai ek Retired judge hoon... Aur ye Suman meri beti aur Sameer mera beta... Aur ye Yasmeen hai... Smriti ki school friend... Aur Shoiab se to tum mil hi chuke ho... Aur wo Shoiab ki patni Afreen"
Maine sab par nazar ghumai... Par abhi bhi mai kuch thik se samajh nahi paa raha tha...
"Dekho Kabir... Ye to hume bhi thik se nahi pata ki kya hua... Kyun hua aur kaise hua... Ye baat to mujhe bhi abhi tak sahi se nahi pata...
Tell me Kabir... Kya tumhe kabhi is baat ki hairani nahi hui... Ki sirf Smriti ki suraksha ke liye itni security kyun?"
"Sawal to uthe man me... Par..."
"Par tumne kabhi pucha nahi... hai na?"
"Dekho Kabir mai aj tumhe kuch baatein batana chahunga... Kyun ki Shoiab ki jo halat hai... Uske baad tumhe hi Smriti ki security ka zimma uthana hoga..."
Mai gaur se Sanjeev ji baatein sunne laga...
"Smriti ki maa matlab Annu meri chacheri behen hai aur uske pita mere acche dost... Isi silsile me mai use janta hoon...
Karib 3 mahine pehle... Ek din Smriti ne mujhe call kiya... Uski posting pehle Madhyapradesh me hui thi... Shayad tum jante hoge..."
Maine haan me sir hilaya...
"Wo call par mujhe thodi ghabrayi hui lagi... Aur wo jitna ho sake utna us ghabarahat ko chupane ki koshish kar rahi thi... Usne meri madad mangi... Kaha meri posting Maharashtra me specially Mumbai ya Thane me karwa dijiye...
Mere kuch connections the... Maine uski posting hone me madad ki... Par sirf meri madad se ye samvab nahi tha...
Is mamle me Aditya... Politician... Jante to hoge use..."
Maine haan me sir hilaya...
"Usne Smriti ki bohot madad ki"
Maine bohot koshish ki... Mere dil ka toofan chupa loon... Par Aditya ka nam sunte hi mai khud ko rok nahi paya... Mere chehre ke bhav dekh kar Sanjeev ji ko ye shayad ab tak pata chal gaya hoga ki mai Aditya ko bilkul pasand nahi karta...
"Smriti ki posting par kayi sawal uthe... Use Executive Officer ki post mili... Lekin is post ke liye aur experienced log tak lagaye baithe the... Par Smriti ne aesa kyun kiya mujhe aj tak pata nahi chala...
Yahan ane ke baad Smriti ne apni team banani shuru kar di... Suman, Sameer, Yasmeen, Ek lawyer hai Sugandha aur Shoiab... Ye sabhi log kisi mamle me Intel jama kar rahe the... Par kisi ko bhi nahi pata ki poora mamla kya hai..."
"Dekhiye Sanjeev ji..."
Maine apni baat shuru ki...
"Aj Smriti ne Shoiab ko bachane ke liye apni jaan dao pe laga di... Kuch log itne beparwah hai ki wo is district ke Executive Officer par hamla kiya wo bhi ek high profile party me... Ap mujhe jitna bata rahe hai usse kayi jyada pechida hai ye mamla... Ab pata nahi Smriti kis halat me hai...
To mai ab apki izazat chahta hoon..."
"Haan jaroor... Mera beta tumhe ghar chhod dega... Ye lo... Ye pendrive rakho... Isme hume jo kuch bhi pata hai... Wo sari jankari hai... Use it well young man"
"Waese ye jagah hai kya"
Maine Sanjeev ji se pucha...
"Haha... Ye jagah... Ye ek safe house hai... World war one me ise pehli baar banaya gaya tha... Uske baad freedom fighters ne ise use kiya... Ye jagah mujhe pariwarik virasat ke roop me mili hai..."
"Par yaha se nikal ne ka raasta?"
"Come with me..."
Sameer ne mujhe apne sath ane ko kaha...
"Kabir..."
Mai is jagah ko chhodne ko taiyaar tha hi ke Shoiab ne mujhe oiche se awaz lagai... Wo bed par adha leta hua tha aur uske pet par patti bandhi hui thi... Mai uski taraf age badh gaya...
"Thank you... Aj tum aur Smriti nahi hote... To mai baap banne ki khushi milne se pehle hi is duniya se jaa chuka hota"
"Are sir please... Ye to mera farz tha"
Shoiab ne mujhe achanak gale laga liya... Pehle mujhe laga shayad bhabhuk hokar... Par fir usne sabse chupa kar mere kan me fusfusaya...
"Packet tumne ek baar kho diya... Dobara mat khona... And remember do not trust anyone"
Maine us lifafe ko seedha meri shirt ke andar sarakte huye mehsoos kiya... Sabse chupa kar Shoiab ne us pagal se admi ke diye packet ko mujhe saunp diya... Mai itni afra tafri me is packet ke baare me bhool hi gaya tha... Pata nahi kaise Shoiab ne ise apne pass chupa liya... Aur yahan use mujhe ye packet chupa kar dene ki kya zaroorat hai... Kya ye sab uske dost nahi?
Mera dimag charon taraf kam karne laga... Jo ab tak mujhe bataya gaya wo sach hai?? Kya wakai mai yahan se aj zinda nikal paunga?
Mai dhere dhere Sameer ki taraf age badh gaya... Wo bhi mujhe raasta dikha kar ek sink ki taraf le gaya... Wahan usne meri taraf muskura kar ek tile ko piche ki taraf sarkata to pass hi ek khufiya darwaza sarak kar khul gaya... Mai ek pal ke liye hairan ho gaya...
Sameer ke piche piche mai us darwaze se hote huye pharmacy tak aa pohcha... Sameer ne bahar khadi bike start ki aur mai uske piche baith gaya...
Maine raaste me ek collegue ko message karke pucha ki Smriti ko kis hospital me le gaye hai... Maine Sameer ko wahi le chalne ko kaha...
Aj ki raat ne meri zindegi ko ulat palat kar rakh diya... Lekin jo bhi kuch hua... Usme sabse zaroori is waqt yahi tha ki mai Smriti ke pass pohoch paun... Use ek jhalak dekh lun... Wo thik to hai na... Mujhe ye tak pata nahi ki use goli kahan lagi... Mai isi kashmakash me gum tha ki hospital aa gaya...
Sameer ne mujhe utara aur bina kuch bole bike ghuma kar chala gaya... Mai daudta hua andar gaya... Maine reception par Smriti ka nam bola to bataya ki patient critical hai aur use ICCU me rakkha gaya hai...
Mera dil baith gaya... Mai Smriti ki is halat ke liye baar baar khud ko dosh de raha tha... Uski hifazat meri zimmedari thi jise mai nibha nahi paya... Maine itna bebas aj tak khud ko kabhi mehsoos nahi kiya jitna aj kar raha hoon... Man kar raha tha... Use gale laga lun... Ek baar wo mujhe tham le... Aur mai ek baar usse maafi mang lun...
Mai daudta hua ICCU ke bahar pohcha... Mai use ekbaar bas dekhna chahta tha par wo bhi aj mumkin na ho saka...
ICCU ke bahar Aditya khada tha... Sath hi uske admi uske body guards aur bohot sare policewale... Aditya ka chasma uske hath me tha... Wo ek tak cabin ke andar dekh raha tha... Uske ankhon me nami thi... Smriti ko khone ke dar se bhi bar kar ek aur dar mujhe satane laga... Kya rishta hai in dono ka?
Mai dheme kadmo se age badha... Lekin jaise hi Aditya ki nazar mujh par padi... Uski ankhein gusse se jal uthi...
"Giraftar kar lo ise... Yehi hai culprit... Isiki wajah se Smriti ki aj ye halat hai... Arrest him"
Saari ungliyan mujh par uth rahi thi... Mai kuch samajh pata... Apna bachao kar pata... Usse pehle hi mere department ke log... Mere juniors ne mujhe hatkari pehna di!!!
I see now kabir has met the other family members of smriti's family, but apart of that shoaib also does not trust them enough, and shoaib seems to be very close to smriti as well. cause he knew that smriti trusts kabir.
kabir on the other hand, is in shock and totally helpless, first he was surrounded by unknown people in safe house, now he is in worse situation, has handcuffs around his wrists. situation seems to be getting worse for kabir, emotionally and physically as well.
The scene was very much thrilling, and the smriti characters seems to have very much depth in personality as well as in story point of view too, she seems to be the key to this situation.
beautifully written, enjoyed very much, keep going, waiting for more updates.
will try my hand in that too
