"Congratulations! We are successful in saving Tasha. Bullet has been removed and she will be discharged in 15 - 30 days."- Announced the doctor. All the CID officers were relieved but the happiest one among them was of course Vivek. He felt a strong sensation of happiness in his inside. A strange feeling was being developed inside him that he was desperate to express.
Days passed like a tracer bullet. In those days, Vivek was always there for her. Maximum time he spent in the hospital. He looked after all of her requirements - be it small or large. Tasha also started experiencing the same feeling for Vivek. She found more than a friend or mate inside him. She hardly could speak in those days but all her special care ad gratitude towards Vivek was visible in her eyes. And one day, she decided to confess. Vivek was also unable to hold his feelings. It was feeling as a sewing-needle inside him. Both felt an upsurge of sentiments inside them which was struggling to get burst.
Finally, it was her last day in hospital. But still she couldn't speak properly. Vivek was little afraid. Will she ever speak? "Tasha, baat karo Tasha! Please kuch to bolo. Tum nahi bologi to mai kisse bat karunga? Kise apne ghatiya jokes sunaunga?" Vivek was filled up with tears. He was struck with a feeling of agony. He stood up . He was about to leave.
All of a sudden, Tasha's lips moved. "Vi..Vivee...Vivek..." Vivek went near her. She was trying to speak something. "I want to say something!" Vivek said, "Tasha..Bolo Tasha...Tumhari aawaj sunne ke liye mere kaan taras gaye the...Waise mujhe bhi tumse kuch kehna hain" Tasha said, " Acha..pehle tum bolo..." Vivek - "Nahi,pehle tum.." "I..I love You..!" Both of them said together. And they hugged each other. Suddenly, they hear the sound of CID officers laughing at the back. They both part from each other. ACP, " Ye tum kya kar rahe ho Vivek?". Vivek - " Wo to main...main sir.." ACP, "Arre...tum to bilkul dar hi gaye..." "Pyaar karna koi gunaah nahi hai.. Lekin duty par yeh sab nahi chalega." All of them have a laugh. Freddy whispered in Vivek's ears - "Wah..Vivek...tum tasha se pyaar karte ho aur mujhe bataya nahi tumne..." Vivek - "Arre Nahi Sir...mjhe bhi in dino hi pyaar ka ehsaas hua." Then, ACP said to Tasha to be at home until she feels well to be on duty. He also told Vivek to take care of her. Both of them were delighted on this.
Tasha came home. After a few days, she joined the team and her routine of CID started. All were happy. Vivek and Tasha's love was blooming. Then some news came to the CID bureau which doubled their happiness. Tasha was selected for bravery award from the Indian government because she risked her own life while catching a gangster who was accused of many serious crimes. She also got 10 lakh rupees from government as reward for her bravery along with the medal. And needless to say, again the happiest person was Vivek!
Things were going cool. And one day, ACP sir called him in his cabin. "Yes sir?" Vivek asked. "Vivek, tumhe ye janke khushi hogi ki Tasha ne jis tarah khud ko CID team ke liye ek asset prove kiya hai, usse department bahut khush hua hai. Is liye Tasha ka promotion hone wala hai."
" Vaah sir! Ye to bahut khushi ki bat hai sir! Vaise sir, uska transfer kaha hui hai lekin?" Vivek was happy, but felt sad because Tasha will leave this branch after promotion."Vahi to khushi ki bat hai! Wo yahi rahegi. Tumhari boss bankar! " Vivek felt happy but he felt his ego was hurt. "I will work under Tasha. Is it possible? Will our relations remain healthy? He thought. But he decided to try his level best.
But his fear started to become true. Tasha was getting more honors day by day. She was getting praised at every level. People made talks about Vivek's relationship with a girl who was at a higher post than his. In the friend circle, Vivek was getting sidelined. All were gossiping like 'Vivek is nothing in front of Tasha, how can they get married?" In our society Husband should be on higher post than wife. So he is not capable to be her husband" etc. etc.
He was getting into depression day by day. And then things turned from bad to worse. They started to fight on every little thing. Their relationship faltered. And one day ACP sir called Vivek & Tasha to his cabin. "Officers, I have a mission for you. Tasha & Vivek, tum dono Delhi jao. Waha ek conference hai. Waha khatarnak aatankvadiyo se kaise nipatna chahiye, nidar hoke samna kaise kare uspe bate hongi! Mai chahta hu ki tum log usme hissa lo. Bahut fayda hoga. " "Sir, sorry sir! Mai nahi aa paunga . " " Kyu ? " Acp sir asked with little anger. " Bas aise hi ! Aur vaise bhi , mujhe jane ki kya jarurat hai ? Tasha hai na ! Vo mujhse kahi jyada layak hai . Mai to darpok hu . Bahadur to wo hai . Mai sirf comedy to karta hu yaha pe ! "By saying this Vivek got out of his cabin rather furiously without asking ACP's permission. ACP sir signaled Tasha to go after him. Tasha came out.
" Vivek , tum ye kya rudely bartav kar rahe ho ? Samajh me aa raha hai tum kya kar rahe ho ? " Tasha asked ." O , madam aap! Mai kyu waha jau ? Aap to mujhse kafi kabil hai is liye . Mai to darpok hu aur aap akele hi bahadur ho ! " Tasha got hurt. But still trying to console him . Here in the cabin ACP sir was furious . " Koi samajhao use !" He roared . " Ye decision sirf mera nahi , dept. ka bhi hai . Uspar disciplinary action ho sakti hai !" " Sir , mai usse kuch bat karke dekhu ? " Freddy asked." Tum ? " ACP sir thought for a minute & then, " Thik hai ! "
Freddy came out. Vivek was sitting & Tasha was still trying to talk. He was not ready to agree to any of her statements. " Kya hua Vivek ? Conference main kyu nahi jana chahte tum ?" Freddy asked gently and told Tasha to leave. She left. " Sir, wo tabiyat thik nahi hai sir . " Vivek said . "Tasha ko jyada wah wahi mil rahi hai isliye na ? " Freddy asked. " Nahi sir aisa kuch nahi." "Chahe tum kuch bhi kaho Vivek, mai sab smajhta hu...aise hi mere baal safed nahi hue. Yaar..tum dono ek dusre se pyaar karte ho. Pyaar mai koi bhi uljhan hai use turant hata dena chahiye. Pyar ye nahi dekhta ki tum kaun se post pe ho,kitna kamate ho, vaigarah,vaigarah.
"Aao ! Mai tumhe isi pe ek kahani sunata hu. Kahani hai hamare hi Dr. Salunkhe aur Dr. Sonali ki!" " Dr. Salunkhe & Sonali? Par wo to ab bahut senior couple hai na? Unke life me bhi problems aaye the? "
" Isiliye to mai ye kahani suna raha hu , tumhe! Ab Suno ...
From college days, Salunkhe was impressed with Sonali. He was carried away by her intelligence and her concern for everything. He was not wasting a single opportunity to be near her. Unhone bhi ye sab jhela tha. Log unke bare me tarah tarah ki baate karte the kyuki Dr Sonali Dr Salunkhe se jyada popular thi aur padhai mai bhi bauht achi thi. Par Salunkhe saab ko isse koi fark nahi pada. Har bar wo Dr Sonali se baate karne ki koshish karte the ." " Kya bat kar rahe hai sir ?" " Ha ! Ye sach hai ! Yu to unke bohot se kahaani maine sune hai idhar-udhar se par unme se do to mere dil ko chhu gai..chalo mai tumhe bhi sunata hoon.
Us din Salunkhe aur Sonali dono lab me the. Apne experiments ki class attend kar rahe the ! Aur roj ki tarah Salunkhe sab Sonali ke aage piche mandara rahe the. Unka pura dhyan Sonali par tha . Baat baat par wo Sonali se baate karne ka mauka nahi chorte the.
Sonali jab experiment kar rahi thi to achanak uske test tube se ek chemical gir gaya . Vo khatarnak acid Sonali pe girne wala tha. Salunkhe sir unhi par tha aur unhone wo girte hua dkeh liya. Unhone bina koi wakt gavaye apna hath bich me dal diya . Kyunki aur koi chara itne kam time me tha hi nahi . Unke hath pe wo acid gir gaya aur Sonali ki jan bach gayi . "" Oh ! Fir to Salunke sir ko bahut taklif hui hogi ! "" Ha ! Unhe hospital me admit karna pada tha. Aur unka wo hath bahut samay tak disable raha . Par aisi halat me Sonali ne unki bahut care ki . Unke sath hospital me rahti thi hamesha aur sab madad karti thi unki wo bhi apni studies sambhalkar aur Salunkhe sir ko bhi sikhakar! Is tarah dono ke course me bhi koi dikkat nahi aai.
" Are vaah , ye to bahut achhi bat hai!" "Aur jo dusri kahani hai, usse to sunaate hue hi aankhe nam ho jati dono e pyar ko dekh ke. Baat un dino ki hai jab Unhone shadi kar li thi aur unki married life acchi jaa rahi thi. Lekin ... "
" Lekin kya sir ? "
" Vivek , tumhe to ye pata hi hoga na ki Salunkhe sir bahut sal forensic se dur the ? "" Ha , unka ACP sir se zhagda hua tha aur bad me unpe kuch iljam aaya tha suna hai ."" Tumne thik suna hai . ACP sab aur unka zhagda to khatam ho gaya tha . Lekin fir unpe ek iljam aaya aur kuch sal waste hue unke !
" Par sir , kya tha wo iljam ? Aur uska hamare is love story se kya talluk ? " Suno ...
Dr. Sonali ne bahut cases solve kiye the. Unki aise hi praise hui thi jaisi aaj Tasha ki ho rahi hai . Unke vajah se bohot se khatarnak khooni pakade ja chuke the . Lekin ek din isi me se ek gunhegar ne ek khoon karke Dr. Sonali ko fasa diya . "
" Fasa diya ? Kaise ? "
" Usne Sonali ke kuch cheese vaha murder wali jagah pe dal di thi jaise ki unka purse, water bottle,gloves. Yahi nahi , unke fingerprints bhi dhoke se lekar waha place kiye . Vaise hi jaise Salunke sab ke sath hua tha . Tumhe pata hai na ?
" Ha Sir ! "
" Vaise hi ! Par is bar agar Dr. Sonali fas jati to pahli bat to ye ki wo department se suspend ho jati. Case chalta uske bad ! Agar nirdosh bhi ho jati to bhi tab tak uske career ka bahut nuksan hota. " Case ki investigation suru ho gayi thi. Sonali bohot depressed thi in sab se. Salunkhe saab bahut pareshan the ki kya kare..
" Oh ! "
" Fir Salunkhe sir ne wo kiya jis ki kisi ne ummid hi nahi ki thi . "
" Kya ? "
" Unhone sara gunah apne sar liya . Aur kaha maine fasaya hai sonali ko ! "
" Sir , ye aap kya keh rahe hai sir ? "
" Ha mai sahi kah raha hu . Aur koi chara tha hi kya unke pas ? Unhone apne se jyada Sonali ke career ko importance diya . Us time pe Dr. Sonali ka career bahut acha chal raha tha. Agar tab jhoota iljam lagta to wo waha kabhi nahi pahuch pati jaha aaj pahuchi hai . Isliye unhone apni bali di . "
Vivek was silent and deeply moved.
" Fir kuch sal aur Dr. sab suspend rahe . Par tab hamne bhi ji jan lagake Dr.sab ko nirdosh sabit kiya aur asli khooni ko bhi laya court me ! Ye mission tumne nahi suna hoga kyunki wo tab bahut secret tha. Par wo alag bat hai.
Mai yahi batana chahta hu ki successful married life aise hi nahi chalti. Uske liye vishvas aur sacrifice dono hona bahut jaroori hai . Dusre ke success se ham kyu jale ? Vivek , tum ye ... " " Bas sir ! Mai Samajh gaya . Mai to Tasha se pyar karta hu. Mujhe uske aage jane se taklif kyu honi chahiye ? Vo aage ja rahi hai iska matlab to yahi hua ki 'Ham' aage ja rahe hai. Sachhe pyar me Mai nahi hota Sir ! Bas ham hota hai ! Mai samajh gaya . Mai conference jane ke liye taiyar hu . " Mai abhi jaata hu Tasha ke pass.Freddy looks proudly at Vivek. And ACP sir from behind proudly looks at Freddy.
Vivek goes straight to Tasha who was weeping in the garden beside the bureau. He sat beside her and wipes tears from her eyes. She looks at him. He looks at her. Both get lost in each other's eyes. Tasha could sense the love and regret in his eyes. Vivek said,"Tasha...I'm so.." "Koi jaroorat nahi hai kuch bolne ki...mai sab samjah gayi hui...tumhari aakhe hi tumhare dil ka hal bata deti hai.." "Mujhe to bas is baat ki khushi hai ki tum ab mujhe samjah rahe ho. Par agar tumhe mere promotion se koi dikkat hai to mai abhi jaake ACP sir se baat karti hun.." "Nahi Tasha...Main hi pagal tha jo tumhari tarakki se jal raha tha...wo to bhala hua freddy sir ka jinhone mujeh inspire kya...mujhe bataya ki sacha love kya hota hai. Tumhari khushi hi meri khushi hai Tasha. Mai Bhagwan se yahi prathna karta hu ki tum isi tarah tarakki karo." Both share an adorable smile.
Suddenly, they hear Abhijeet and Daya sir's voice. "Ab yahi rehna hai ya bureau bhi chalna hai...ACP saab tum dono ko bula rahe hai." Both get red and Tasha says, "Sorry sir, we're going." Abhijeet asks, "Arre! Tum donor o kyu rahe ho?" Both say together, " Ye to khushi ke aansoo hain."
