OS - Koi Apna
He took the driving seat, as she occupied the passenger seat next to his. He started coughing, as he fixed his seat belt.
"Sir aap theek toh hai? I mean subah se aap kuch theek nahi lag rahe..." she asked.
"Haan Aayesha...bas gala thoda kharab hai..." Sameer replied.
Aa : (nods in +ve) "Sir, aapne koi medicine li?"
Sam : "Haan...par medicines ik din mein relief dene se rahi...ho jaunga theek..."
Aayesha passed him a weak smile, as they left for their destinations, 'their places.'
They were busy discussing about random things, when it started raining heavily outside.
Sam : "Baarish ko bhi aaj hi ki raat mili thi?"
Aayesha smiled at that.
Aa : "Aapko baarish nahi pasand?"
Sam : "Bahut pasand hai...par kai baar baarish galat time pe aa jaati hai..."
Aa : "Galat time?"
Sam : "Hmm...kisi urgent kaam ke liye jaana hai mujhe...aur yeh baarish...uff..."
A few minutes later, Sameer stopped the SUV a few feet away from a small tea stall.
Sam : "Aayesha woh yahaan ik khabri aane waala hai...bas zyaada se zyaada 5 minute lagenge...I hope you..."
Before he could continue, Aayesha interrupted him,
"Please Sir...aap aaram se ho aayie..."
Sameer passed her a lil smile and placed his phone on the dashboard. He stepped out of the SUV and went towards a shed next to the tea stall.
Suddenly, Sameer's phone buzzed. Aayesha leaned a lil forward to check.
"Phone uthaon ya rehne dunn? Utha leti hunn...jo bhi message hoga Sir ko de dungi..." she thought and picked up Sameer's phone.
Before she could even say 'Hello' an elderly female voice spoke up from the other side,
"Baba...subah 8 baje khaana banake gayi hunn mein...aur tu abhi tak aake nahi khaaya...baba re baba...tereko samjha samjha ke thak gayi...par tu hai ki samajhta hi nahi...3 din se kitna tezz bukhar hai tereko...dawayi bhi nahi leta...na khaana khata hai...aisa karega toh theek kaise hoyega? Raat ke 11 bajre...tu ghar kabhi aayega...mereko apni Tai maanta hai ke nahi? Agar tai maanta hai toh abhi ke abhi ghar aa aur khaana kha aur aaram kar...jab dekho kaam hi kaam...jaldi se shaadi karle...taaki teri biwi aa jaaye tera khayal rakhne ke liye..."
"Ji...woh Sir bahaar hai...aate hain toh mein unhein aapke baare mein bata dungi..." Aayesha spoke up.
"Acha beta...usko bolna ki Madhuri Tai ka phone aaya tha...theek hai beta?" the lady replied.
"Ji..." Aayesha replied and the line went dead.
She placed the phone back at its place and was lost in thoughts,
"3 din se tezz bukhar hai sir ko...na medicine li...na khaana khaya ache se...kam se kam leave leke rest toh kar hi sakte thay...woh bhi nahi kiya...Sir apna bilkul bhi khayal nahi rakhte..."
Her thoughts were interrupted, as a fully drenched Sameer was back. Sameer sat inside the SUV, badly coughing.
"Sir...aapne pehle kyun nahi bataya ki aapko 3 din se bukhar hai...leave lekar rest kar lete aap...aapki tabiyat bigadti hi jaa rahi hai aur aap hai ki apna khayal hi nahi rakhte..." Aayesha spoke up.
Sam : "Agar meine leave le li toh ETF ka kya hoga? Rawte toh waise bhi 2 mahine ke liye undercover mission par gaya hai...team mein jo paagal bharti hai, unhein mein akele tumhare hawale toh chod nahi sakta Aayesha..."
A huge grin appeared on Aayesha's face,
"Yeh bhi hai...Shree, Chotu toh phir bhi meri baat maan lenge...Liza bhi help kardegi...par Sakshi ki non stop bak bak...woh jhelna mere liye thoda mushkil hai..."
Sameer smiled at that and they started riding towards Aayesha's place.
Nearly 15-20 minutes later, Sameer stopped the SUV in front of the residential complex, where Aayesha resided.
Aa : "Thank you Sir...good night Sir..."
Sam : "Welcome Aayesha...and good night..."
Aayesha just unlocked the door, when,
Aa : "Sir..."
Sam : "Haan Aayesha..."
Aa : "Sir...agar aapko kisi bhi cheez ki zarurat pade toh please, call kar dijiyega...isse yaad aaya ki kisi Madhuri Tai ka call aaya tha aapke liye..."
Sam : "Jaanta hunn...unhone hi tumhein bataya hoga meri tabiyat ke baare mein..."
Aayesha innocently nodded in +ve, and ran inside the complex, as Sameer waited for her to reach her place safely.
Aayesha went inside her flat, locked the door and slumped on the sofa.
"Thak gayi buri tarah aaj toh mein...haye koi mere pairon ki massage kardo...pair dukh rahe hain..." she spoke to herself.
She reluctantly got up and left to change.
"Hot shower would work..." she thought, and turned on the geaser.
Aa : "Aur jab tak paani garam hota hai...mein baaki kaam kar leti hunn...kuch khaane ko bana leti hunn...banaun ya manga lun? Hmm...mangwa leti hunn..."
She dialled a nearby hotel's number and ordered food for herself, and then she left to change.
After having her shower, she changed into a plain knee length white kurti and white patiala salwar. A sudden knock on the door, and she knew that her food had arrived. She opened the door, paid the bill and took her food parcel.
She placed the food parcel on the dining table and took a seat, when...
Aa : "Sir...Sir ne kuch khaaya hoga ya nahi? Phone karun? Raat ke 12 baje call karte huye mein achi nahi lagti..."
She placed her phone on the table, and was deeply lost in thoughts...
Shree aur Chotu...jab pehli baar ETF join ki thi...tab dono mujhse aise dur bhagte thay, jaise mein kacha chaba jaungi unhein...aur ab...kitne ache dost bann gaye hain dono...par kahin na kahin Riya ko miss karte hain woh dono...dono yeh kabhi nahi jatate...par woh Riya ko bahut miss karte hain...Riya bahut lucky rahi hogi ki usse Shree aur Chotu jaise dost mile...
Sakshi aur Liza...yeh dono toh pakka dur ki behenein hai...har waqt chapar chapar...par jab kaam ka waqt aata hai...toh they are just brilliant...Liza ki scientific theories aur Sakshi ke unsune kisse help us a lot...par Sakshi...woh humesha itni khush kyun rehti hai? Koi insaan tabhi itna khush rehta hai...ya toh uski zindagi mein koi major problem ho...ya phir koi bhi problem na ho...but I hope...ki agar uski zindagi mein koi major problem ho toh woh jaldi solve ho jaaye...
Arjun Sir...har guthi ko suljha sakte hai woh...chahe complicated se complicated case hi kyun na ho...sir fatafat solve kar dete hain...apni biwi ko khone ka dukh aur dard, unke chehre pe saaf dikhayi deta hai...unki maut ka badla lene ki bhawna bhi saaf dikhayi deti hai...
Aur Rathore Sir...
And she stopped for few seconds. She just sat at her place, silent, thought-less.
"Arjun Sir ko toh phir bhi thoda bahut samajh liya...iss insaan ko toh mein aaj tak kabhi samajh hi nahi paayi..." She spoke to herself and sighed.
Rathore Sir...from day first till now...he has been there for me...as a support system...3 saal ho chuke hain...waqt kaise guzar jaata hai...pata hi nahi chalta...he's a brilliant chief, a perfect leader...and a good friend too...3 saal ho chuke hain...par aaj tak meine unke chehre par woh hassi nahi dekhi...jo ik aam insaan ke chehre par hoti hai...Arjun Sir ke chehre par toh phir bhi kabhi na kabhi smile aa jaati hai...par Rathore sir...365 days mein shayad hi koi aisa din aata ho...jiss pure din woh khush rahe ho...har waqt ik...ik ajeeb tarah ki seriousness...har waqt kaam hi kaam...sahi kaha tha uss lady ne...kaam se fursat hi nahi milti...
Fursat milti nahi ya woh lete nahi? Har waqt unki aaknhon mein ik khaalipan...ik akelapan nazar aata hai...kyun? Bhale hi Arjun Sir se unki dosti mein ab kuch problems hai par...Shaadi nahi huyi par family toh hogi hi...family ke hote huye bhi ik khaalipan? Ik soonapan...kyun?
She didn't knew why she was going to do something weird like this...but she had to...
Sach toh mujhe jaana hi hoga...
She picked up her phone and dialled Shree's number. A sleepy Shree picked up her phone,
Sh : (in a sleepy tone) "Kaun?"
Aa : "Shree, mein Aayesha bol rahi hunn...tumhein mera kaam karna hai...abhi issi waqt..."
Sh : "Kya Aayesha...raat ke 12:30 baj rahe hain...aur tumhein kaam ki padi hai...kal kardunga mein..."
Aa : "Abhi issi waqt karo...nahi toh mein Rathore Sir ko bata dungi...ki tum 2 mahine pehle...Arjun Sir ko Rathore Sir ka confidential data access account ka password pata lagane mein help kar rahe thay..."
Sh : (shocked) "Tumhein kaise pata? Nahi nahi...aisa kuch mat karna...Aayesha sir meri jaan nikal denge...please nahi...tum jo bologi woh mein karunga..."
Aa : "Very good Mr.Specky Sen...bas tumhein itna sa hi kaam karna hai ki mujhe database se Rathore Sir ki saari detail chahiye...like his family and transfers etc."
Sh : "What are you upto Miss Aayesha Kapoor..."
Aa : "Tumhein usse kya? Tumhare paas sirf 5 minute hain...did i forget to mention ki call karne ki bajaye mail kardena?"
Sh : "Haan haan kardunga meri maa...aur kuch..."
Aa : "Nahi bas..."
Exactly 5 minutes later, Aayesha's checked her phone.
"Chalo acha hai Mr.Specky ne mail bhej di...nahi toh Rathore Sir toh bechare ka kachumar hi nikal dete..."
She opened the mail, and waited for the mail to load. As soon as the mail loaded, she felt so unhappy, so sad.
Mail :
Officer : Sameer Damsingh Rathore
Cadet No. : 07001
Academy : Rajasthan Police Training Academy, Jaipur
Parents : Late Shri.Arijit Damsingh Rathore & Late Mrs.Shobha Damsingh Rathore
Sir ke toh...parents hi nahi hai iss duniya mein...kya sirf yehi ik wajah hai unke akele hone ki? Ya kuch aur bhi reasons ho sakte hain? Par jo bhi ho...mein unke chehre pe woh smile waapis lakar hi rahungi...
"What the...mein yeh sab kyun soch rahi hai...why am I so concerned about him? He's just..." and Aayesha stopped midway.
"Kahin mujhe pyaar toh nahi ho gaya Sir se...(few seconds later) What rubbish...Aashu...kuch bhi sochti rehti hai..." and she felt like banging her head somewhere, for thinking about her senior like that.
But then she was reminded of various moments she had with him. During one of their cases, in the jungle, he saved her from getting hurt by an arrow. During their undercover stint to get information regarding the betting racket, in the jewellery store, he was lost in her, and her blushes at that moment were enough to describe what she was feeling.
And their were numerous cases, when he had saved her, without caring for himself.
Toh iska matlab ki woh mujhse...woh mujhse pyaar karte hain? Agar woh mujhse pyaar karte hain toh...what rubbish...kuch bhi...he just cares for me like a senior cares for his junior...not more than that...par agar woh sach mein...damn it aayesha, admit it that you love him! And before it gets too late, tell him! No matter what will be his reply, but let him know, what you feel for him! Shayad tum unka akelapan, udasi, dur kar pao...shayad tum unki zindagi mein kuch khushiyan lauta pau...
"Haan...mujhe batana chahiye...(looks at the clock) raat ke 1 baj rahe hain...abhi jaun ya nahi...hmm..."
Aayesha got up, picked up her phone, and side bag, put her revolver, ETF Badge and a lil amount of money and walked out of her place.
She locked her flat and went downstairs. She walked towards the gatekeeper's cabin,
GK : "Kya baat hai Aayesha didi...firse koi case ke liye jaana hai kya?"
Aa : (handing him the keys of her flat) "Itna important case hai ki...kisi ki khushiyon ka sawaal hai...apni bike ki keys dena please...bike subah de dungi..."
GK : (taking keys from her, and handling her the other keys) "Best of luck didi ji..."
Aayesha passed him a lil smile and walked upto his bike. She fixed her side bag, and she drove off to Sameer's place, which was hardly 20-25 minutes away from her place.
Thousands of thoughts struck her. What if he doesn't love her? And in case he does, will he confess?
Will he share his problems with her?
Will he share all his sorrows, worries and troubles with her?
But the main question was still pending...
Will she be able to throw the emptiness and loneliness of his life away?
Time passed by and soon, she was standing in front of his residential complex. She parked the bike at a side, and went inside the building. She climbed up the stairs, and reached Sameer's flat.
She rang the bell twice. A few seconds later, Sameer opened the door.
He was confused seeing her there, so late.
Sam : "Aayesha, tum iss waqt...sab theek hai na? Agar problem thi toh mujhe call kar deti..."
Aa : "Bahut badi problem ho gayi hai Sir...jiska solution agar abhi nahi nikala gaya toh bas..."
Sam : (slightly confused) "Wait, mein apna revolver leke aaya..."
As soon as Sameer turned and took a few steps, Aayesha stepped inside, locked the door and hugged him from the behind.
Sam : "Aayesha kya hai yeh sab...kahin fir se tumne pi toh nahi?"
Aa : (leaves him and stands in front of him) "Nahi nahi...mein ik dum theek hunn..."
Sam : "Toh fir yeh sab?"
Aa : "Batati hunn...pehle yeh bataiye ki aapne kuch khaaya ya nahi?"
Sam : "Haan thoda sa..."
Aayesha grabbed him by his hand, and took him towards the dining table. She made him sit on the table and went inside the kitchen,
Aa : "Aap bas chup chap yehin baithiye...no questions..."
Sameer just sat still, not at all sleepy. A few minutes later, Aayesha turned up with a tray in her hands.
Aa : "Garama garam khaana..."
Sam : "Aayesha...iski kya zarurat thi...mera kuch bhi khaane ka mann nahi hai..."
Aa : "Toh bhi khaana padega...bina khaaye bhi aap reh nahi sakte...kyunki khayenge nahi toh theek kaise honge..."
Sam : "Par Aayesha..."
Aa : "Ikdum chup...fatafat khaana khayie...fatafat..."
Aayesha took a plate and served him food to eat. Sameer took the plate from her and placed it on the table.
Sam : "Aayesha tumne khaana kha liya?"
Aa : "Meine...haan...nahi nahi...nahi khaaya...par meri tension mat lijiye...aap apna khaana finish kijiye..."
Sameer just nodded his head, and started having his dinner quietly. Only a few minutes later, he realized that Aayesha was continuously staring him.
Sam : (looks at Aayesha) "Kya huya Aayesha...tum aise kya dekh rahi ho..."
Aa : "Aap khaana khte huye kitne cute lagte hai..."
Sam : (blushes a bit)
And Aayesha kept on looking at him until he finished having his late night forced dinner.
Sam : "Thank You Aayesha..."
Aa : (looks at him a bit sadly) "Itni sadi si thank you...choti c smile hi kar dete..."
Sam : (Passes her a lil smile) "Thank you...theek hai?"
Aa : (smiles) "Yeh theek tha..."
Sameer picked up the tray and other utensils and placed them in the kitchen and sat back at his place.
Sam : "Aayesha tum kya mujhe dinner karwane ke liye aayi thi ya kuch aur bhi baat thi..."
Aa : "Ab aaye na aap direct baat pe..."
Sam : "Kaisi baat..."
Aa : "Aap honestly answer karenge?"
Sam : "Koshish kar sakta hunn..."
Aa : "Aapki aankhon mein har waqt ik ajeeb si udasi...akelapan kyun nazar aata hai har waqt...why are you serious all the times...har waqt bas kam aur kam...kyun..."
Sameer got up and walked towards the terrace styled balcony. She followed him and placed her hand on his shoulder.
Aa : "Aapko batana hoga...I'm not forcing you actually...par mein aapse jaana chahti hunn ki sach kya hai..."
After a few seconds of silence,
Sam : (in a sad tone) "Ab toh akelepan ki aadat si ho gayi hai Aayesha..."
Aayesha looked confused into his eyes, and all she could see was sadness and loneliness.
Sam : "Parents ko kho diya when I was barely 6...apni best friend ko uski shaadi ke 2 saal baad kho diya...aur apne sabse ache dost ko bhi..."
As soon as Sameer spoke up, a lone tear rolled down his cheek. He wiped it and turned the other side.
Sam : "Jab apne parents ko khoya hoga...uss waqt toh mujhe hosh bhi nahi raha hoga iss baat ka ki apnon ko khone se bada koi dukh nahi...ab jab apne aap ko akela pata hunn...toh yeh baat realize hoti hai...jab log apne parents se jaa kar apne dil ki baat share karte hain...toh mein yeh sochta hunn ki kaash mere parents bhi mere saath hote...Pata hai Aayesha...Roshni ne mujhse waada kiya tha...ki woh har waqt meri help ke liye ready hai...mujhe kabhi bhi uski zarurat padhe...toh woh meri madad karegi...aur ab...woh khud itni dur chali gayi ki mein chah kar bhi usse bula nahi sakta...meri hazaar baar chilane par bhi woh nahi aayegi...kabhi nahi...Aur Arjun...usne mujhse promise kiya tha ki woh humari Roshni ko zindagi bhar khush rakhega...kabhi bhi durr nahi hone dega...par usne bhi apna vaada nahi apnaya..."
And Sameer couldn't continue any further. He fell down on his knees and broke down into tears.
Aayesha just stood at her place rooted, looking at a broken down Sameer,
And I was wrong...galat lagta tha mujhe ki Arjun Sir sabse akele hain...Arjun Sir toh apne parents ke paas kabhi bhi waapis jaa sakte hain...lekin Rathore Sir...unka toh koi apna hai hi nahi...koi aisa jinhein woh apna keh sake...jisse woh apne dil ki baat keh sake...koi apna...
