DELHI
A man dressed in a shirt & track pants & walked out of the room & went outside. He passed through the corridors & reached the reception.
He reached there & on seeing him Seema, The Receptionist asked, "Hello Mr Rathod, How can I help you"
The man, ACP Sameer Rathod, formally said, "Hello...can u please tell me If there is any jogging track nearby?"
Seema nodding negatively, "No Sir...yahan aas paas koi jogging track nahi hai"
Sameer signed & said, "Ok...Thank for your help"
He turned & was about to go when Seema said, "Sir...yahan pass hi mein ek park hai...if you want you can go there for jogging"
Sameer seemed thoughtful & said, "Ok...Thanks"
He passed a smile & went from there.
On reaching the parking, his driver in this city was about to open the door of the car for him but he said, "Nahi...mein yahan aise hi jog pe jaa raha hu...toh car nahi chahiye...meri raat ko 8pm ki hai...toh tum tabhi aa jana aur mujhe chod dena...tab tak mujhe car ki jaroorat nahi hai...isliye tum ja sakte ho"
Driver said, "Ok...sir" & went from there driving his car outside the building premises.
Sameer also walked outside & started following the direction that Seema has told him to reach to the park.
Sameer has come to Delhi three days back, to attend a high profile meeting. His meeting will be completed tonight & he had his flight to go back to Mumbai tomorrow morning.
Without wasting more time he started his jogging on the road itself, running swiftly towards the park.
He was thinking about the life he is living, a very fast life where he didn't even have enough time to think about himself. His only aim was to remove crime & criminals from the society, to save the innocent people from the monsters and serve his nation as much as he can.
Suddenly his thoughts roamed about his mad team where except one all others didn't leave a chance for chit chat, masti & pulling each other's leg. He lips curved into smile, thinking about the madness they all did behind his back. They had always thought that he didn't know anything about their mischievous antics but he knew everything that went behind him at the cafe of office, inside the conference room and sometimes even on the crime spot.
His thoughts lingered on the life they had spent together all these years under him. It wasn't work for them. It was their passion. They were living & enjoying their life in their work, unlike him who worked & only worked losing the enjoyment and happiness from his life. He was always bound to his duty, he was dedicated to his job, but for them their work was their way of sharing their life together. They always call him "WORKOHOLIC". Well, it was so true
He smiled as he recalled the names they had given him. Khadus, Rowdy Rathod, Akdu & what not. But he never took these in a wrong way bcoz somewhere he also knows that sometimes he deserves these names from them. He did show them his khadoos avatar.'
He could not stop himself from smiling on remembering their antics like Chotu's love for food, Shree-Liza's fight on every topic whether that is related to the case or not, Sakshi's not stop chatting & trying her best level to irritate Arjun.
Arjun, once his buddy and now his arrogant second in command for the past 2years. It has been almost a year, they have avenged Roshni's death, but still their friendship was not in the same terms that they had shared once. May be they needed more time and space.
But Arjun was still his second in command. He didn't throw him out of ETF nor did that arrogant, irritating blabbering enemy of his leave him alone with the team. They still fought like wild bulls, but things have mellowed down much. Nowadays he had seen him go back home at times giving him a drop, even Arjun had started sharing a crooked smile with his team, specially Sakshi, who was always the victim of his remarkable sarcasm. It helped him reduce the burden of guilt he bored in his heart, the guilt of misunderstanding his friend.
Somewhere he knew Sakshi's feelings for Arjun and he also knew that Arjun also knows about that but he is not ready to move in his life or to accept someone else in place of Roshni.
Thinking about all these things he reached in front of the park gate. The watchman checked him for security reasons & after confirming about him he let him go inside.
Sameer looked at the park it was not much crowded but was not that much vacant also.
The park was a well maintained children's park, covering quite a large area. The whole park was fenced covering the edges with dense bushes and trees. Sameer opened the Iron Gate and walked inside. It was quite early in the morning, so the children park was filled with old aged people. They had formed groups of few and gathered at specific places inside the park.
There were stone benches at corners under some large trees. The bushes were cut and neatly kept at regular intervals beside those benches. There were young ladies and men running around the area, while the aged people laughed and talked among themselves. The environment was soothing and calm. The sunlight was light and refreshing, falling on the green grass. Sameer took up his speed in the track and moved towards the other end of the park.
It was empty, except those joggers who were standing alone warming up their morning exercise session. The area had a number of swings and slides at extreme corners. The area was empty owing to the morning hours. Sameer stood there for some time stretching himself.
Sameer again started taking round of the place, during the rounds he noticed so many things about that park. While jogging he also noticed a girl sitting on a far corner bench looking at something but he couldn't see her face bcoz her back was facing him but he didn't think much & was doing the work he came here to do.
After about an hour he was little bit tired & thought of sitting somewhere for some time & than start again. He looked here & there to find a suitable place to sit & relax, but ll the benches were occupied by the aged people now. Finally he found a place but it was that bench where that girl was still sitting, facing his back to him. He walked near that bench & was about to go further but stopped in his track noticing that girl's face for the first time.
His face showed extreme happiness seeing her after so many months, he couldn't stop himself from going near her and reaching there he kept looking at her for some time before calling her.
He called softly, "Aisha"
But he didn't get any response so he called her again "Aisha".
Still not receiving any response from her he placed his hand on her shoulder to bring her back from her thoughts.
Feeling someone's touch on her shoulder she turned back to see the intruder in between her thoughts.
But what she saw, made her bring a big smile on her shocked face & she could just whisper, standing up from the bench, "Rathod Sir"
He also smile & said, "Hello"
Aisha also replied, "Hello Sir"
After the formal greetings both sat there & Rathod said, "How are you?"
She replied, "I am fine Sir, Aap kaise hai aur baki sab kaise hai"
He replied, "Mein bhi thik hu aur baki sab bhi"
She nodded slightly at his reply. Both sat down on the bench. A moment of silence followed. Both looked away avoiding to look at the other.
Both smiled & she turned her face from him & started looking at the people who were giggling and talking among themselves, he also looked at the same direction & a small smile appeared on his face watching them laugh and enjoy their moments together.
He looked back at her only to notice some changes in her. She was clad in a salwar suit with some bangles around her wrist. This was the first time he was seeing her in any informal dress, he has always seen her in formals & ready to beat anyone. He chuckled at his own thoughts.
But then something strike him. He really wanted to ask her the reason she left ETF all of a sudden?
He still remembered the day she just came in his cabin to submit some reports & gave him envelop which contained her transfer letter, he was shocked will be an understatement. He was shocked bcoz of this sudden event. He asked her why she wanted transfer, to which she only answered that she had some personal problems & had to go Delhi.
Everyone has tried to ask her about this sudden transfer to which she had given the same answer, that is "Personal problem".
Eventually she left from ETF after two days. After that he tried but his work schedule and then her complete absence, reduced their interaction and gradually he lost contact with her. He had mailed her a couple of times in the initial days after her sudden leave, but she never replied and gradually he stopped that too.
His thoughts halted when an old man called out to his gossiping wife and both walked towards the gate, happily waving at the others.
He looked back at Aisha, who was also looking at him & again both smiled.
All of a sudden he asked to her, "So what's going on"
He looked at her she seems thoughtful to find the answer for his question but she said, "Nothing" & smiled.
He felt something weird about her bcoz she did not answer him well.
So he just asked, "Are you ok?"
She looked at him enquiringly & replied, "Haan...mein thik hu...par aapne aisa kyu pucha"
He only said, "bas aise hi" & that's when his eyes caught something it was something he could not think of that atleast in case of her & out of immense curiosity he asked looking at her hands, "Yeh mehendi???"
She looked at him & than her folded hands & her smile faded a bit. She was confused whether to tell him or not but when she looked at him & saw he was still looking at her hands trying to understand something, she couldn't hold on and looked at him closely. His confusion was completely visible on his face. She smiled thinking that he has still not changed a bit & before he ask her again she said, "Woh shaadi ke liye"
Before she can complete her sentence he asked her with a crooked brow, "Kiski"
She smiled feeling his curiosity & answered, "Meri ...aur kiski".
He couldn't believe what he just heard was true or his imagination or something else. Not believing what she said he asked shockingly, "Tum shaadi kar rahi ho"
She replied with smile, "Haan"
He looked at her disbelieved for a good one minute & asked, "Kab"
She replied without looking away from him with a sad smile, "Aaj"
He asked shockingly, "What???"
She composed herself & looked at him with a small smile.
There was a complete silence between the duo, both were sitting there silently lost in their thoughts. Aisha had so many doubts & Sameer, he was lost in nothing particular but he somewhat couldn't believe that she was getting married & he didn't even know. That's when something stroked him that no one in ETF too knew about her marriage, as if someone knew then there is no chance that he would not be informed, so he asked, "Tumne kisi ko invite nahi kiya?"
Although he has not taken anyone's name but she could guess about whom he is talking. She was sad that she had not invited her friends but she didn't have any other choice, she replied, "nahi woh...sab kuch itna jaldi mein hua ki kisi ko batane ka time hi nahi mila"
Sameer didn't know why but he was angry & disheartened bcoz he thought that they were not mere colleague but good friends also & here she had not invited anyone, not even Sakshi as they both were like best friends, forget about inviting, he was sure that she had not even told her about her marriage.
But the question was WHY???
Sameer asked, "Kya tumhe itna bhi time nahi mila ki kisiko phone karke bata sakho???"
Aisha looked down & her MV, "I have my reasons for not inviting anyone but I can't tell anyone, specially you & Sakshi."
Aisha replied with sad smile, "Haan...sab kuch itna jaldi hua ki kuch samajh nahi aaya...aur waise bhi mein janti hu agar end time pe sabko bata bhi deti toh koi aa bhi nahi pata...",
She looked at him & continued, "afterall ETFians ko aise hi chuti nahi milti na..."...to lighten the situation she said with mischievous smile while controlling her little laugh, "par unn becharo ki koi galti nahi hai...unke chief hi thode KHADOOS hai...isliye woh log kuch kar bhi toh nahi sakte".
Sameer was so much involved in her explaining her reasons on why she had not invited anyone that when she called him Khadoos he looked at her with irritation but looking at her mischievous smile he too smiled back.
This has reminded them about their talks when she was in ETF...initially there was a strict Boss & colleague relationship between them but then it started melting bcoz of Aisha, as she had understood about his once upon a time friendship with Arjun, first he was shocked that How could she know about this...but before he can ask she answered him by saying some relations are so much strong that they can never change...it might be possible that some hard times comes in that relation but their effectiveness can never change, she told him that whenever he & Arjun argue on something there is a kind of understanding in that argument which only meant that they know each other very well, that's why she came to know about their friendship. He was impressed with her then and that's how their friendship had started crossing the barriers of professionalism.
Both smiled remembering that events, but Sameer found something amiss in her talk or can say in her eyes but what was that???
Sameer asked, "So...Who is the lucky man???"
Aisha replied with a big smile, "Shaurya...Shaurya Shregill"
Sameer too replied with a smile, "Nice name"
Aisha replied while a big smile searing on her lips, "Yes...not only name...he is a nice man also...a perfect friend..." continued with a sad smile, "& a perfect life partner"
Sameer saw something different in her eyes, first it reflected happiness but then it turned into something else, a sudden sadness or guilt. But why??? She is going to marry today..then why there is no happiness which usual would-be brides have.
Sameer asked doubtfully, he didn't know why but seeing that sadness the first thing that come in his mind was, "Tum iss shaadi se khush toh ho na?"
