Part-2(B)
By the time Rathore and Sakshi reached the ETF office, all were present there.
"Team kuch mila.?"
Rathore asked sitting on his chair.
"Sir, local police bhi ek baar Anita ji ke kehne pe hospital gaye the, aur unka Kehna hai ki isme koi Sachai ni hai." Ayesha started.
"ek laute bete ko khone ke baad Anita ji depression ke chalte hospital aur doctor ko blame kar rahi hain,Jo aksar kuch log karte hai." Shree added.
"haan aur aese me hum doctor ya Hospital pe case toh ni kar sakte."
Chhotu shook his head.
"Anita ji ke bhai ka bhi yahi Kehna hai . Unhone Anita ji ko samajhane ki bhi koshish ki thi, per mujhe lagta hai unhe thoda time lagega iss sadme se bahar nikalne ke liye."
Sakshi sighed, then all heads turned to Arjun, waiting for him to speak up.
Feeling their gaze on him, Arjun swirled on his chair to face them while sipping his cutting Chai.
" hospital se bhi utna hi pata Chala jitna tum sabko already Pata hai. Dev ke hath me Jo cut tha vo usse surgery ke dauran ek junior doctor ki galti ki wajah se lagi thi. Bas baaki sab tum log jaante ho."
"lekin tumhe dekhke aesa lag ni raha hai ki tumhe Jo answer mila usse tum satisfied ho."
Rathore pointed out, hence Arjun looked away thinking something deeply.
"mujhe vo doctor ki attitude thodi ajib lagi."
"ajib matlab.?"
Sakshi looked puzzled.
"pata ni ye logically sahi hai ya nahi, per jaisa ki Sakshi ne Subah kaha tha aksar hota hai ki kisi patient ke maut ke baad, uske family wale sadme me doctors ko blame karte hain.
Toh Zahir si baat hai doctors ko aese situations handle karna aata hoga,ki kaise logon ko samjha bujha ke, aaram se baat karke shaant kiya jaaye.
Per Dr shukla ke baaton se aesa lag raha tha jaise unhe patient ki maut se Kam aur iss baat se zyada pareshani thi ki police aur ETF Wahan tak gaye the Puch tach ke liye.
Unki behavior se aesa lag raha tha jaise vo apni attitude ke niche kuch chhupane ki koshish kar rahe the. Sayad darr? Ya apna gunah? Ya phir... "
" tum pehle sahi keh rahe the Rawte. Tum Jo keh rahe ho vo logically bilkul sahi ni hai.
Kisiki attitude ki wajah se hum ye decide ni kar sakte ki usne koi gunah kiya hai.
Aur waise bhi Jo log sahi hote hai, Vo bhi attitude dikhte hai, jaise ki TUM. "
Rathore spoke interrupting him, earning a glare from Arjun.
" chalo Kam se Kam mai aapko sahi toh laga. Thank you.. SIR. "
Both of the men glared each other, while others kept mum not daring to interrupt them.

Next day ETF office..
None was present except Shree and Chhotu who were engrossed in both of their respective worlds.
While chhotu was lost in some deep thoughts, there Shree was randomly flipping random pics in his tab.
"Shree, pata ni kyun aaj uski bahut yaad aarahi hai."
Chhotu spoke breaking the silence that made shree look up that instant, exactly knowing who he was talking about.
"aur Kal ke baad toh aur zyada yaad aarahi hai. Raat ko wohi sab dimag me chal raha tha issliye neend hi nahi aayi. Tumne bhi Kal issi wajah se Kal hospital jaane se mana kardiya na.?"
Chhotu added dejectedly.
"dubara himmat hi nahi ho rahi thi Wahan jaane ki . Kaash mai Rathore sir aur Arjun sir ki tarah emotionally strong hota." shree sighed, then continued speaking.
"pata hai chhotu, usne Jo kiya uske liye kabhi kabhi bahut proud feel hota hai, per kabhi kabhi bahut gussa bhi aata hai. Usne vo karne se pehle ek baar bhi apni family ya hamare baare me kyun nahi socha yaar.?"
"khas karke Arjun sir ke baare me. Hum toh shuru se hi unhe monster maante hain, ek wohi thi Jo unke itna gussa karne ke baad bhi unse aese baat karti thi jaise kuch hua hi na ho.
Rathore sir ki toh pehle se Arjun sir se ni banti, aese me vo hamesha dhyan rakhti thi ki kabhi Arjun sir yahan akela mehsoos na kare. "
Shree nodded his head agreeing to Chhotu silently.
" Wese agar vo abhi yahan hoti toh tujhe gusse se ghurti 'Arjun sir monster hain' comment ko leke. "
Both let out a sad chuckle, then kept mum afterwards.
Soon Ayesha arrived in the office and the trio were doing their paperwork, when sakshi rushed inside hurriedly holding her breath.
" Guys Sameer, aur Arjun kahan hai.? "
She asked huffing for breath.
"dono abhi tak aaye ni hai, per tumhe kya hua.?"
Shree raised his brow at her.
"batati hun. Nahi dikhati hun."
With that Sakshi switched on the TV, taking a seat on her chair.
The four were watching the news half shocked, and half puzzled when Rathore entered the conference hall, followed by Arjun at the same time.
"guys tum dono ne aaj ki news dekhi? Ek aurat ne apne bete ke sath media me statement diya hai ki unke pati Jo kuch dino se Sanjeevani Hospital me admit the, Kal unki suddenly maut hogayi aur vo bhi doctors ko blame kar rahin hai, Anita ji ki tarah."
Sakshi finished in a go, as two of the chiefs eyed the TV.
" Pata hai Sakshi. Aur yahi hamara next case hai.
Target - Sanjeevani Hospital. "
Rathore slammed the letter of the commissioner office on the table, causing all to stare at him except Arjun.
