PART XIV
The whole team was utterly shocked to hear this....
DCP Sahay told ACP Pradyuman---Pradyuman...tum apni force lekar jao....shayad abhi bhi Daya bach sakte hain....aur main .....ye Ajitesh Bhave ko dekh raha hun...
ACP Pradyuman didn't waste anytime..within a moment he ordered--come on lets go.....jaldii.....They just rushed towards the Lifeline Nursing Home at Goregaon..but ACP Pradyuman was continuously jeered by Dr.Salunkhe---wah..ACP saab wah....mission me to kamiyaab ho gaye hain aap...par Daya ko maut ke muh me dhakel diya...
ACP Pradyuman was repentant by himself..he was nodding his face with utmost despair & saying--puchha tha woh mujhe..ke kya karna chaiye...par main....
Dr.Salunkhe again jeered---aur tumne ye kya diya..ke jao Daya...apni jaan de do....taqi mission me hum kamiyaab ho jaye....
--Salunkhe!!!!!! ACP shouted at him..as he himself was totally shattered.....sometimes he was screaming in enraged anger & total dismay---agar woh log Daya ko chhute haina.....to main ....main unlogo ko chhorunga nehiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.....aag laga dunga main waha peeeeeeee.......I will just kill then one by one.......
Abhijeet said in sad voice--ssir...hume ekbaar Tarika ko inform karna chaiye tha...ssir....bhagwan na kare.....agar Daya ka.....kuchh bhi ho .....he gulped back his pain & continued----jate hain.....to woh.....hume kabhi bhi maaf nehi kar payegi sir......
--waqt nehi hain Abhijeeeeeeet hamare pas waqt nehi.....maine us waqt bureau ke phone me phone kiya...mujhe yehi ummed tha ke ye Ajitesh Bhave ne zarur bureau ke phones tap kiye honge....aur ...mera diya huya information ko sunke woh zarur bureau me kuchh na kuchh karenge......
Salunkhe wasn't being able to tolerate probably any word said by ACP ..he told--aur tum nikal pare ...Ajitesh Bhave ko pakarne ke liye..haina? udhar bechara Daya ko akela chhorke.....
--Salunkhe!!!! aur ek labs bologe to gari se utar dunga main....ACP shouted at Salunkhe with total dejection..
--ha aur kar bhi kya sakte hain aap......
Freddie started to cry--ssir...Daya sir pata nehi abhi .......hain bhi...ya.....
Abhijeet screamed at him---kya anab shanab bak rahey ho Freddie....pls apna muh band rakho..pls.....he snarled at him...
Vivek said firmly--nehi sir, Daya sir ko kuchh bhi nehi hoga.....kuchh bhi nehi....
As they reached there....they saw two nurses were talking in the corridor with a girl..ACP ordered--Devyana..pakar lo inhe...ye sab isme shameel hain....
--hey what are you doing? ha? who are you? they were just about to start a mess....
a doctor was coming..& ACP just snatched him & raising his revolver at his head he asked---Sudhir Godbole ko kideny denewala donor kaha hain?
--kkkiske..baat kar rahey hain aap? kaun sudhir Godbole?
Abhijeet was panting in anger ...he said--ssir..mar dete hain goli..inlogo ko....waqt nehi hain....he fired a bullet which passed by the ear of the doctor....the doctor screamed in fear & finally he confessed--woh...Roheet shetty...woh to yaha par hain nehi.....
ACP: hain nehi???? to pher kaha hain?
Doctor was stammering--wohh wohh...to peechhe ....Lifeline clinic me le jaya gaye hain.......
--peechhe ??????
suddenly police gyp reached there & a robust man came to ACP & salute him--sir, main goregaon police station ke sub-inspector Sitesh Awasthi...
ACP ordered--yaha ke sabhi logo ko pakro...ek ek. koo....ek bhi chhutna nehi chaiye.....
SI Awasthi obliged & called his force to catch the total gang there...& ACP along with the team headed for Lifelong clinic.....but Devyana took the three ladies along with her....& now ACP asked one of them--ha to Neha Jee....kaise tha Roheet ke sath apka affair? ha?
Neha was breathing heavily as very unexpectedly they were caught....
--kya huya bataiye? aap to Roheet ko shaadi karne wali thi na???? aise kaha ...ke uske bagair aap jee nehi sakte hain...uske bina aap mar jayenge...aur aab usko hi maut ke muh me dhakel diya?
now Abhijeet asked--aur kitne aadmiyo ke sath shaadi karne ke liye Mumbai bhagake le aye ho? aise shaadi huya unlogo ka?
ACP smirked & said--Abhijeet..kaise hoga shaadi? ye to unlogo ko sidhe upar hi bhej diya........par Nehajee..aapko ye maloom nehi tha ke jisko phasane ke liye aap itnaa mehnat kiye....woh aapko jaal me phasa liya tha...kyuki woh koyi Roheet nehi balki CID Inspector Daya hain... samjheeeeee...CID Inspector Daya....
Neha just jolted ...& she couldn't believe her ears....
ACP slyly smiled & said--aab jail me baithe baithe shaadi shaadi khel khelte rehna....
Neha started to cry & they reached at Lifeline clinic..the clinic was under construction & wasn't at all crowded...they just rushed inside...& there was nothing ..but an operation theatre...
Salunkhe said--wo...to yaha pe sirf aise galat kaam kiya jaate hain...the door was broken.....& the doctors inside was startled ....& screamed--ye kya? operation ho raha hain yaha par...kaun hain...aap....log...
Everyone raised their revolvers to them & Abhijeet said--hum log CID se hain...
--CID? they got scared..but at the same time they hadn't any way to escape....
Daya was lying on the operation table unconciously...with operated tummy...blood was oozing out from there....
ACP goggled his eyes & said--Myyyyyyyyy gawwwwwwwwwwwwwwd...salunkhe..jaldi dekho.....
Salunkhe rushed to operation table....while Freddie, Vivek, Abhijeet caught the doctors & handed over to the constables of Goregaon police station...
Salunkhe sighed heavily....but everyone was in tenterhooks....ACP asked in bated breath--kya baat hain Salunkhe?
Salunkhe said with relief--bach gaya....kidney le nehi paye...sirf...pet ko open kiya tha....itne me hi hum agaye.....
Everyone sighed in relief.....& now Salunkeh told--pls aap log bahar jaiye...mujhe stich karna hain.....
[City Hospital][ Mumbai][9p.m]
Everyone was standing just outside the cabin no.203,& trying to persuade Tarika to go inside...but she was shocked...expressionless...even a single tear drop wasn't coming from her eyes....everyone was worried for her...but now Salunkhe said--Tarika....jao...achchhi tarikese dekhlo Daya ko.....
now Tarika just plunged onto Dr.Salunkhe--kyuuu? kyu? woh thik to haina? use kuchh...hoga to nehiiiiiiii?.....she burst into tears.....
ACP said being a bit emotional--nehi Tarika...woh Daya hain....itna asan hain...use kuchh bhi hona?
Tarika screamed in pain--ye aaplogo ne mere Daya ke sath thik nehi kiyaaaa....thik nehi kiya ........
ACP again said gently--andar to jake dekho.....woh bilkul sahi salamat hain...
--aur agar aaplogo ki pauchne me der ho jata? Tarika was whimpering in pain---agar...agar mere Daya ko....kuchh bhi ho jata.....ACP lowered his eyes in guilt.....to main aap logo ko kabhi maaf nehi kartiii....kabhi nehiiiiii...
now Salunkhe said--ha...kabhi maaf nehi karna....jee bharke...gali dete rehna...par abhi to andar jao....Daya tumhare liye intezaar kar raha hain.....
Tarika became silent but still she was panting in ....excitement...she stepped inside...& saw..Daya was lying in bed...his face was twitched in pain....but he smiled as Tarika enetered...after so long...she was watching him......she was craving to ran into him....but she didn't...& she went near the window...& didn't look at Daya..
Daya smiled lightly to realise that Tarika was in huff....he said very slowly with a low voice---tikuuu....ekbaar mere pass aaona..... Tarika didn't answer...now Daya tried to get up...& eventually hurt by his stiches in thw wound...he winced in pain--ahhh...
Tarika now ran up into him...& made him to lie again....& sat beside him..
Daya was watching his wife with rapture in his eyes....he clenched the palm of her gently....now Tarika again started to whimper & said with peeved voice--kaha ja rahey the tum .....mujhe chhorke?.....kaha Daya....
Daya was totally absorbed within her...& finally he whispered--isbaar ek sath jayenge.....
Tarika glanced at him surprisingly...& now Daya took two tickets from other side of the bed...& gave to Tarika.....
Suddenly the whole team entered there..& ACP said with a smiling face--ha..abhi yaha se nikal kar hi...tum log sidhe Shimla ke liye nikal jayogi..samjhi ?
Both Daya & Tarika was abashed & embarrassed......Tarika tried to mutter--lekin sir...
ACP said--to thik hain....agar tum log jana nehi chahte ho to main aur Salunkhe chale jate hain...kyu Salunkhe?
Salunkhe nodded--ha ACP saab...par Shimla utna khush nehi hoga..hum do buddhe ko dekh ke....kyu?
Everyone was laughing at Salunkhe's prank.....& Tarika snatched the tickets from Salunkhe's hand......Salunkhe & ACP burst into a loud chortle...
