Part 5

Days rolled by,and the ETF was back to their normal functioning.

Cases were solved,criminals were hunted down...blood,sweat

,adrenaline everything was a part of their day. The usual clash of

bosses also continued,along with the familiar banter of the other

members. However, again something happened to break their

monotony.

The ETF office was upgrading their security system and issuing new id

cards to the officers. A lot of detailed forms had to be filled up and

collected. Shree was in charge of getting all the forms from their team

and he found this to be a really tedious job,especially after just having

having solved a complicated case. Nevertheless, he managed to

complete the task and was about to submit the forms,when something

caught his eyes.

The top most form was Arjun's and he was staring at the date of birth

column. He exclaimed softly-"It's his birthday today!"

Chotu,Saakshi and Ayesha looked up in surprise. He passed along

the form. Yes, indeed, today it was. But they all looked at each other

with apprehension, not sure of what to do with the newly found

information. Each of their birthdays was celebrated in small but

beautiful ways, amidst their hectic schedule. No one quite had the time

for parties, but small surprises,cards and wishes were still exchanged.

But with Arjun,even that was a faraway dream.

Had this been a few days earlier,Saakshi would have reacted

differently. She may have tried to make him celebrate it,arranged a

surprise,etc. But after that incident in the meeting room,she had learnt

to restrain herself and avoid using frivolous ways to cheer him up. But

she and the entire team sincerely wanted him to be free of turmoil at

least on this day.

Sameer walked into the room to collect a file. He looked slightly

agitated and did not notice the others all huddled up. Chotu hesitantly

said " Sir..its.. Arjun sir's birthday today...".

" I don't need to be reminded...er...I mean.. what?..so?.. I guess we all

have enough work at hand to focus on" mumbled Rathod.

Ayesha stared silently at him. His first phrase had given him away. He

remembered it,but wanted to deny it and faked surprise. Sameer

caught her knowing glance and just walked away from the room.

His exit marked Arjun's entry.

Arjun had come to return some files and was busy arranging it onto the

racks. The team looked at each other,they so badly wanted to wish him

that they no longer cared if that would make them face his wrath.

And so a meek,but warm "Happy Birthday ,Sir" filled the air.

Arjun sharply turned. They were moved after seeing the expression on

his face. It was neither happiness, nor sorrow, nor anger. It was just

pure surprise. He even unconsciously looked behind his shoulder to

see if it was meant for someone else. It has been so long since he had

heard that phrase that it took time for him to process the meaning. He

shot a glance at the hanging calender and then it sunk in. He had

understandably forgotten the day. Life had ceased to make any sense

a long time ago and he had such memories to deal with that the day

lay unmarked even in his mind's calender.

He immediately wanted to leave the room,but the eager faces of his

team members held him back. Contrary to what they might have

believed, being rude did not come naturally to him. It was just the best

way for him to avoid company. So he knew that his walking away was

not the correct way to reciprocate their genuine wishes. But how could

he explain to them that birthdays held meaning only for people who

were alive. And on that fateful day,though only one corpse was

discovered,two lives had ended. He could not even utter a thank

you,since that would mean acknowledging the wish. And when he

hated his very existence,he could not see what was so happy about

his birth.

Saakshi sensed his predicament and thus intervened saying- " Arjun,I

know you do not want to celebrate the day,which is perfectly fine. But

this is a special day and..."

Arjun interrupted her and again said something which would haunt his

team for long- "It is easy to celebrate any occasion,but difficult to

make it an occasion worth celebrating".

Saying this, he withdrew himself from the room. The ETF members

silently tried to peel off the layers of meaning hidden in his words. And

when they did manage to do so, they were filled with determination.

They did not make lofty promises to make him come out of his

melancholy- but they wanted him to realize that he was special,that his

existence deserved recognition. They did not know how, but they silently

swore to do so.
