Neha came over and gave a file to Dipika. Dipika nodded and took the file, giving her a wane smile…….

Neha reciprocated the smile……

Just as she was about to leave, she turned back again….

Dipika looked up from the file she was checking....... Something in Neha's expression told her that she was frustrated, angry, and was controlling, all she could do to keep her temper down……

Dipika looked at her in a pitiful way and smiled, knowing why she was so very tempered………

Neha: Ma….

Dipika interjected and said…..

Dipika: (with a smile….) Neha mujhe pata hai tum kya kehnaa chah rahi ho…. Lekin hume issse jhelnaa hi padegaa….

Neha sat down opposite the chair in Dipika's table, and banged the table with her fist……..

Neha: (rolling her eyes… and throwing up her hands) Ya.... yeah…… Jhelnaa padegaa hi….(in a very happy tone, she reflected…, she kept her hands on the table) Lekin Mam, aapne jo kuch bhi kal kiya…… Oh….. I loved it…… Chehraa dekhne laayak tha……. (she gave the symbol of super with her hands)

Dipika grinned and said……

Dipika: Neha… Tum bhi naa….

Neha just smiled, which was short lived….

Neha's face expression changed again, one of sorrows. She swiveled her chair slightly to look at the table opposite to Dipika's……

Dipika knew that expression only too well, to guess what Neha was thinking…….

Dipika just leaned forward, placed a hand on Neha's shoulders… Neha turned back, bit back a tear, nodded, got up....

Neha: (in a teary voice) Vo kuch reports baaki… I'll go….

She nodded and hurriedly left the cabin, fear of breaking down again…… 😭

Dipika looked at her and knew that she was up to date with her work, and the file she had just given her was the last report….. She had actually given a excuse to get back to her place…… 😕

Dipika looked forlonly at the table opposite to her……. Her thoughts traveled fast and far……

Inside the Wardboy's room……..

Before Dipika could answer any of Neha's questions, there was a tap at the door………

Neha went over to open the door, cautiously……

Ajay and Boxer entered the room, followed by the Inspector….. They all seemed dejected…..

Neha came behind Ajay……

Neha: (in an angry voice….) Ajay kya hua? Vo pakadaa gaya naa? Kahaan hai vo?

Ajay looked at the ground, speaking nothing……..

Dipika: (worried that they had let go the rogue….) Boxer…. Kya hua…? Kuch bolte kyun nahi……? (turning to the Inspector) Sir, kya hua……?

Before the Inspector could answer, Ajay interjected…….

Ajay: (in a dejected tone….) Vo bhaag niklaa…..!!!!!!!

Neha, Dipika and Shotgun were all stunned……. Imagine thunders, earthquake, volcanoes, and tsunamis on their faces………

Dipika: (surprised) Kya bhaag….? Lekin kaise…..? Use kaise pata ki police aa rahi hai?

Ajay: (in a raging tone…) Hum wahaan pahoonche aur Shyam se kaha ki darwaaze ko khatkhataayee….. Hume nahi pata tha ki vo koi code hoga. Us sale ne darwaaze ko chaar baar, khatkhatayaa…. Baad me us badmaash ne kaha ki uska matlab tha ki bahaar mushkil hai…. Aur us do kaudi waala Kamaar khidki se koodkar bhaaga……

Neha: (not at all happy……) Kya..? Bhaaga……!!! Ajay ye kya ho gaya…..? Tum log Aryan ko maarne ki koshish karne waale ko pakad bhi nahi sake? Bade investigators kehte ho…….!!!!!!

Everyone in the room were surprised at Neha's sudden outburst….. But no one was saying anything, which would make the situation worse………..

Disappointed, she turned her back to Ajay…. She was having a fit of rage, controlled…. They had caught so many criminals, provided justice to many….. But now the one who assaulted Aryan, they couldn't catch….?????

Damn…….. Why was it that they were always unfortunate with anything that happens with Aryan's family…….????!!!!!

Inside the Wardboy's room……..

Dipika let out a sigh… She couldn't believe what Ajay had said…. She also felt the same way Neha was feeling, when Ajay said…….

Ajay: (smiling, and putting a hand around Boxer, who was now grinning from ear to ear, smoking his pen….) Lekin, why fear when Chaachu is here……..

Dipika looked up and Neha turned around, glaring….. The Inspector was also smiling now…..

Neha stared at Ajay pointedly…..

Smiling Ajay came over to her and put a hand around her shoulders, which she shoved off angrily…

Ajay: (still smiling….) Neha….. Special Squad ke officers itne kamzor nahi hain ki kaatil saamne ho aur vo bach niklaa jaayee…….

Ajay lifted up his collar, grinning from ear to ear………

Neha stared at him questioningly…….

Dipika: (starting to lose her patience….) Ajay tum…..

Ajay sensing that this cannot continue more, he lifted up his hands said….

Ajay: Okay baaba okay…….

He then started to explain what had happened. How they had reached the quarters, Boxer leaving to go somewhere, Shyam tapping the door and Kamaar escaping through the window…..

Ajay: (going over to Boxer…) Lekin bhai ne to kamaal kar diya…… Pata nahi unko bhi Aryan ki "gut feel" (stressing on the words) bhaiyya kaise bhaave…….. Jab hum baahar pahoonche to vo Kamaar inke hiraft me tha…..

Boxer gave a big bow and continued……

Neha and Dipika were listening to the story entranced, unbelievingly……

Boxer: Jab me wahaan, quarters me gaya to, mujhe laga ki shaayad vo khidki se bhaag sakta hai…. Isliye us flat ke floor aur houses ko calculate karte hue, main us khidki ke neeche jaa khadaa hua, jo us Shyam ke ghar ka tha…. Mera sochnaa galat nahi niklaa…. Thodi der me ek badmaash neeche koodaa….. Uski kismet kharaab thi vo seeda mere pairon par aake gira….

Neha, Dipika and Shotgun smiled listening to this……
Ajay: Use….. Aashirwaad dete hue bhai ne use pakdaa aur jab tak hum neehce aaye, to humare liye gift taiyaar tha……

Dipika and Neha looked at each satisfyingly… They felt so happy, atleast they got the rougue responsible for Aryan's state now……..

Inside the Wardboy's room……..

Inspector: (smiling 😛 ) Jab hum yahaan aa rahe the to Aryan aur Boxer ne kahaa ki main kuch naa boloon thodi der ke liye……. Isliye……. (he gave a smile and continued seriously) Aur madam humne Kamaar aur Shyam ko police station bhej diyaa hai…. Ek police gaadi baahar khadi hai, peeche….. Hum in dono ko (indicating the shorty and lanky whom Shotgun was guarding…..) bhi le chalte hain…

Dipika nodded. The Inspector indicated to the constables standing at the back to take them into custody. The constables went over to them, removed their ropes and hand cuffed them. They shoved them forward and left the room……

The Inspector watched them leaving and looked back at Dipika…….

Inspector: Madam…. Complaint lodge karnaa hoga….

Dipika nodded and said…..

Dipika: Ji Inspector….. Mujhe Commissioner saab se phone ka intezaar hai…. To gyarah baaje jaise hum police station aate hain……

The Inspector looked at his watch, it was 7:30 a.m. now….

He nodded……

Inspector: Theek hai madam… Main nikaltaa hoon….. Aapke aane se pehle poochtaach karke deatails kar leta hoon…….

He came forward and shook hands with her, then Neha.

Went over to Shotgun and also shook hands with him.

Coming towards Ajay and Boxer……

Inspector: (looking at Ajay and Boxer, shaking hands with Ajay first then Boxer) Aap ne to kamaal kar diyaa…. Good job…… 👏

Ajay and Boxer smiled…….. Saying this, the Inspector gave a curt nod and left the room….

Then you could imagine the victory song of Special Squad playing when they catch a criminal… All were satisfied that they could do Aryan justice…….

Apollo Hospital……..

11 a.m.…

Dipika's cell phone rang….. Looking at the number, she immediately attended the call…..

Dipika: Ji sir…… Dipika speaking………

………………………………………….

Dipika: (feeling relieved) Oh… That's good sir…. Samjhi….

………………………………………..

Dipika: Okay sir…….

……………………………………….

Dipika: (sadness looming again) Vo theek hai sir… A.. Alive…. But coma me chalaa gayaa….

…………………………………..

Dipika: (worried) But sir, use yuheen yahaan……

……………………………….

Dipika: (sighing) Okay sir….. Main baat karti hoon……

……………………………….

Dipika: I understand sir…. I'll take care….. Good bye….

She hung the phone and was long staring at the phone…..

Everyone were sitting around her…..

Dipika was sitting on a double couch with Neha beside her…… Ajay and Shotgun were witting on the chairs of the small round dining table…… Boxer was leaning against a wall behind them…… Cathy was sitting on a single couch, side Dipika…….

No one disturbed her…. They knew she was taking a decision……..

Finally Dipikae looked up… She looked aroud her……..

Everyone were there…… Ajay, Boxer, Neha, Shotgun and even Cathy………

Everyone was assembled in Catherine's private room……..

It seemed ages ago, when the rogue was arrested……..

After the Inspector had left, no one spoke for a long time knowing not what more to do…. 😕

Then there was again a knock on the door… Everyone looked up suddenly wondering who it could be now……

The door was not locked, it pushed open and Cathy entered……

Dipika smiled at her and went towards her…….

Cathy:(looking at everyone and smiling) Dipika… Kya hua? ❓

Dipika:(smiling vaguely) Vo badmaash pakada gayaa…… Inspector use police station le gaye hain…. Aur un dono ko bhi jinhone hospital me Aryan ko maarne ki koshish kii……..

Cathy:(looking up)Jesus… Thank God…. (Geting upset) I am really sorry about the incident…..

Dipika:(interjected) Cathy, come on….. Maine pehle bhi kahaa tha ki its none of your mistake…… Agar tumhare hospital staff me koi aisa niklaa to, how can you hold responsible…. Money makes people to do more badly…….

But Dipika didn't feel anything worse could have happened if anything had happened to Aryan……. She sighed inwardly…….

She looked around the room; the whole team was upset and worried… 😕 She knew as the chief she had to keep the morale of her team up….. Upsetting and worrying would get them no where……..

She decided……..

She turned towards Cathy and said……

Dipika: Cathy ab to kuch karne se rahaa nahi…. I think we should leave here……..

Everyone looked at each other….. Yeah true nothing can be done now…. Can they?

Neha came behind Dipika and laid a comforting hand on her shoulders…. Dipika turned her head slightly and smiled at her…….. Neha reciprocated the smile with a nod…….

Cathy was so surprised and happy at the relationship the Special Squad team shared…… She was proud of her friend too……..

Cathy:(smiling) Of course…. We will leave here… Lekin Aryan ke ICU ke baahar wait karne se kuch nahi hone waala….. Instead you can wait in my room…. Nearby… Mujhe pata hai ki ghar bulaaoongi to, tum log aanewaale ho nahi…… 😉

Dipika thought that her friend did know her so well…….. Dipika nodded, under no circumstances were they going to leave Aryan without any guidance anymore…….

Maybe the danger was no more, but they didn't want to take risk…….

So now everyone was assembled in the room….. Between intervals of 15 minutes, Ajay, Boxer or Shotgun went over to the ICU to look whether Aryan was okay……. Eventhough the police constables where there, they didn't want to take chances……

Catherine's private room……..

Dipika was shaken from her revere…… She came to her senses………

Neha: A penny for your thoughts…….

Dipika smiled and said………

Dipika: Nothing…. (Taking a deep breath she continued) Commissioner

Saab ka phone tha…. Unhone kaha ki Ganesh gawaahi de raha hai, court me ab… Already he had given his statement yesterday based on which many big shots are been arrested, in and around Mumbai now…..

Everyone was startled at the news…… So many biggies were involved in the underground………!!!!!!! 😲

Dipika: (continuing) Commssioner saab ne news me us report ko dekha jo Appollo hospitals ko involve kar raha tha…… He knows reporters are swarming the place….. He said to go ahead and give the media about what happened with Aryan, the Anna Kartoos matter and all……….

Everyone was relieved that now finally everything was going to be wrapped up…….

The media people were really getting on their nerves..... All the staffs were guarding various entries and exits of the doors, so that no reporter could enter the hospital........ They had been trying to keep them out of the place, untill they were ready to give any sort of statement.........

Dipika: (turning towards Cathy) Cathy ek conference hall arrange kar sakti ho kya? Only the main reporters of the media will be invited for the conference though…

Cathy: (smiling) Glad to help….. I'll take care…. Don't worry…….

Dipika smiled wanely…. Cathy left the room to make the arrangements……….

Dipika turned back to the others……… They all knew that there was more news which Dipika wanted to give them………..

It seemed like the exhaustion of the night was finally getting on them all….. Everyone was tired to the core…… They felt maybe some hot coffee would have done them good….

Just then there was a tap on the door and it opened….. A ward boy entered with a flask and coffee mugs……….

Everyone was surprised at the entry……… The wardboy placed the tray on the coffee table………

Wardboy: Doctor Madam ne coffee bhejha hai……

Saying this he went back, without another word…. Everyone was gratefull to Cathy for her presence of mind….. She knew that they were tired and didn't have their breakfast also….. Sensible….. After all doctor jo hai……..

Neha started to pour out the coffee…… She gave a cup to Dipika, which she accepted gratefully……. Neha was pouring coffee for everyone, when Dipika started to talk again…….. Boxer came forward and took his cup……

Dipika: (after having a sip) We have three important things to do…….. Pehlaa press conference attend karna hai, we are allowed to give a detailed report on the case…… Second, conference ke baad, hume police station jaake statement denaa hogaa………

By now everyone were having their share of coffee and listening to Dipika……….

Dipika: (paused for a moment and continued) Lastly…… We leave……..

Everyone's hands stopped working in mid-air….

Boxer was sipping his coffee which he stopped, his mouth in the cup……

Ajay, Shotgun had just taken their cup from the table, which was stranded now in mid air……

Neha too looked at Dipika by her side surprised………..

Leave…….?????????!!!!!!!!!!!😲 Why?????? 🤔What???????? But then how can they leave with Aryan at this state…….?????????!!!!!!!! Dipika talking like this……….. was even more surprising………..

Catherine's private room……..

Dipika was sipping her coffee coolly….. She actually didn't look at anyone while giving the instructions…….

Neha put down her own cup of coffee down….. She didn't know whether to ask or not, but someone had to say something………

Neha: Ma… (Paused for a moment thinking something, then) Dipika…… Jaa rahein hain… Magar kahaan??!! ❓

When Neha had started to talk, the others came out of their statue positions and listened to the conversation………

Dipika: (had a sip of her coffee and then turned in her seat to face her) Neha….. Mumbai aur kahaan……

Neha: (staring at her) Mum…. But Aryan ko is halat me chodke…….?

Dipika: (intervened) Commissioner ke orders hain Neha…. We have to obey…….

Neha: Magar… Aryan ka kya….?😕 Humme se kisi ko yahaan hona chahiye naa, uske paas……….

Dipika: Neha…… We have a duty to cover…..

Neha stared at Dipika, unbelievingly….. 😲What was Dipika saying? She wouldn't be so negligible about Aryan…… Not Dipika….. Because…….❤️

Dipika: (started talking, which interrupted Neha's thoughts) Waise tumse kisne kahaa ki hum Aryan ko yahaan chodke jaa rahein hain?

She started on her coffee again……..

Neha looked at her in a strange way…… 😕Oh Dipika was confusing………

Neha:(trying to get her thoughts straight) Lekin aapne to kahaan tha???!!!

Dipika smiling put down her cup of coffee which she had finished…….

Dipika: Neha, we are going to shift Aryan to a hospital in Mumbai…. Is tarah se I… er……. (Getting a grip on her) we can take care of him and also work……

Then it hit Neha….. Oh….. Yeah they could do that…. But it didn't at all strike her about shifting….. Really the exhausation was taking on them………..

Dipika smiled around everyone and saw they had their unfinished coffees……

Dipika: Apne coffee to khatam karo…. Thandi ho jayegi….. 😊

Others smiled at each other and resumed their coffees…….

Everyone was working on their coffees, while Dipika took a magazine and just browsed through it…….
Catherine' Private Room.......

Just as everyone completed their coffees, Cathy returned……

Cathy: (coming over to Dipika) Dipika……. All ready… Conference hall taiyaar hai aur maine press ko bhi inform kar diyaa hai ki they could send around ten representatives for the conference… So they will decide and assemble in the room…… Exactly thirty minutes from now…. Will that be okay?

Dipika: (smiled, got up) Perfect…. Thank you so much Cathy…… Aur haan Cathy ek aur baat kehni thi….

Just then Boxer checked his watch and went out of the room…… Dipika looked his way…. She knew he was going to check on Aryan……

She turned back to Cathy….

Dipika: Catherine….. Hum soch rahe the ki hume Mumbai chalnaa chahiye…???

Cathy: (surprised, because she didn't expect them to leave so fast…) Dipika…. But….

Dipika: (intervening) Cathy… Commissioner ka order hai ki we have to report back there for duty…. Lekin Aryan ko hum yahaan bhi chodke nahi jaa sakte….. He needs someone to take care aur uska family (pausing, not knowing how to put it so explicitly, changing her words) We can take care of him……. So we were thinking of shifting him to a hospital in Mumbai….. So……

Cathy: (smiling, she took Dipika's hands in her hand and said) I understand…. Tum logon ko chintaa karne ki koi zaroorat nahi…… Do you have any particular hospital in mind…..?

Dipika: (surprised at such a question, she looked at the others and turned again towards her) Cathy… We were thinking that you could help him shift him to your hospital branch in Mumbai…….!!!

Cathy: Dipika…… I know…… Maine sirf aisa poochaa kyunki I thought maybe you had some hospital where you better take Aryan…..

Dipika: (interjecting) Come on Cathy…… Tumne hume humaraa Aryan wapas diyaa hai…. Tum jaisa kahogi we will be privileged to do that…….

Cathy: Much honoured mam…

Saying this Cathy give a short bow and looking up at Dipika, laughed.......

Dipika too smiled, more broadly, after many days, hugged Cathy......

All in the room also had a short laugh…… Finally the atmosphere was lightening……..

Dipika: (concerned) But Cathy Aryan ki halat…….???!!!

Eventhough she had said Aryan would ahve to be shifted, she wasn't sure of his health condition.......

Cathy: (thinking over something) Nazook to hai Dipika… But it's no problem….. (Smiling) We can manage….. Mere father-in-law Mumabi ke hospital ko sambhaalte hain... I'll talk to him and make all the arrangements… By the way kab nikalnaa hai….

Dipika: (seeing her watch) Ab to press conference attend karnaa hai and then there is this report to be filed in the police station…….

Cathy: (with a mock shock on her face)Itnaaaaaaa badaaa list….. (Smiling) Then I think it would take you after lunch, more than that early evening before you finish all the formalities….. So may I suggest you leave early tomorrow…? By that time Aryan's stitching would have become stronger…. Just to be more sure and careful…… Then its upto you……..

Dipika: (hurriedly) Of course Cathy…… It is okay with us…. Just to be surer of Aryan's health…….

Cathy: (smiled) Then its fixed….. Main jaake sab intezaam karti hoon….. Call you back when it is all fixed up…….

Saying this Cathy goes off…. Dipika looks at the others and gives them an encouraging smile……..

Everyone in the room also reciprocate her smile........

Special Squad Office………

Present

As Neha left the cabin she gave a cold stare towards the office door….

Oh….. Brother, Just what she wanted now……. How she hated what she was seeing……

With a stomp of her feet she muttered "Humari raddi kismat…??????!!!!!!!!"

She went towards her place hurriedly, instead changed her direction and went into the pantry……..

She had completed all the reports related to the Anna Kartoos shoot out, so nothing was pending……….

She sat at a table, removed her glasses and placed them on the table…… Pulling back her hair, she then leaned back on the chair and closed her eyes, deep in thought……..


Neha entered the ICU to find Dipika sitting in the chair near Aryan's bed……. She had Aryan's hand in her's and had it placed on her forehead……

Dipika was saying, more to herself, but she could be heard………….

Dipika: I am really sorry Aryan…… 😕

Hearing the door opening, Dipika immediately lifted her head… She placed Aryan's hand back on the bed and saw who it was……….

Neha was still standing at the door, not sure whether to enter or not…….

Dipika looked at her and immediately made her way out of the room……

Neha took one look at Aryan and retreated back to the corridor to see where Dipika had gone….. She saw Dipika disappearing around a corner…. It was the way to the hospital canteen…….

She too made her way to the canteen…. She looked back to ensure that there were two constables guarding the ICU….. She was assured........

Neha knew the way to the canteen….. They had arrived early afternoon that day………

Yesterday had been a hectic day and more the news they had heard, had put them in shock……..

As Neha made her way to the canteen she recollected yesterday's episode……

Yesterday……..

They had all attended the press conference, with Dipika presiding… She gave a full account of Anna Kartoos case and how Aryan had been shot, the arrest of Kamaar… What exactly did Kamaar want was not sure with themselves as they had to yet go to the police station………..

By the time the press conference was over it had become two in the afternoon……….

They decided to go straight to the police station, but again Cathy had insisted them to have lunch……. It was the day before night around 8'O clock when they had had their dinner………

Everyone agreed, because they needed their stamina….. To be truthful they were ravenous after the non-stop excitement…….

Then Dipika, Neha, Ajay and Shotgun had gone to the police station to complete all the formalities…… Boxer was left behind to guard Aryan……….

And that was where they had received the shocking news……

Kamaar had already been interrogated by the Inspector for why he had done the murder attempt on Aryan……..?????

The Inspector said that he had been posted in Nasik by Anna Kartoos to take away Aryan Khanna if he happened to pass that way…… It seems this Kamaar knew nothing about the fatal death of Anna,as usually Anna Kartoos only contacted the under dogs, when needed only………..

The Inspector had also stalled mentioning the fact to Kamaar that Anna Kartoos, a women was no more……….

On asking how he knew Aryan was in the hospital, Kamaar had said that he was hiding in the temple of the hospital, when he had seen Dipika Gosh there talking to the temple's priest and he had followed her to get to Aryan………..

This news fell as a blow for Dipika……!!!!!!!!! She couldn't digest the fact that she had unknowingly led the killer to Aryan…….. She blamed herself for all that happened to him………

By the time they had returned to the hospital it was night 7'O clock….. No one had spoken a single word and the others avoided even glance towards Dipika……. She had been like a zombie from the time she had heard the news….. Neha had to guide her from the station to the jeep and back to the hospital……….

At the hospital Dipika had for long disappeared into the ICU….. No one disturbed her….. But they all knew it was not her fault….. Just a co-incidence……. They had no regrets against her………..Next Day Morning………

Everyone had assembled back in Cathy's private room, the previous night……..

Everyone was seated at the same place as yesterday, lying down their heads, but not sleeping…..

Dipika: (to one in particular) Hume chalna chahiye………

Neha who had been resting her head against the sofa's back, eyes closed, lifted her head and looked at Dipika………….. Since their visit to the police station yesterday, for the first time Dipika had opened her mouth…………….

As if on cue the door opened and Cathy entered….. Behind two wardboys entered, each carrying a tray covered and Cathy herself was carrying a thermos……..

Neha smiled, Cathy was very much like Dipika…… She did take care of their food promptly……….

Cathy: (smiling) Good Morning everybody…………

All of them smiled at Cathy's wish….. Dipika was silent……..

Cathy sensed tension in her and decided not to prod it……..

Cathy: (placing the thermos on the dining table, said to the wardboys) Yahaan rakh do….. Aur us patient ko discharge karne ka intezaam kar do…..

The wardboys nodded and retreated………

Cathy turned towards them and smiled again………….

Cathy: (sighing a mock frustration said) Pata tha, pata tha mujhe ki raat bhar tum log sooge nahi……… (Shaking her head) Aap logon ke office me naa twenty-four hours medical supervisor hona chahiye… To see to that, you take your food properly, sleep properly and rest….. (Everyone else had also smiled at this suggestion) Lekin aap logon ka kaam bhi aisa hai……..

She was by now seated by Dipika's side……….

Dipika: (apparently not heard what Cathy said, because her expression hadn't changed) Hume chalna chahiye……
Cathy looked at her and smiled again……

Cathy: (lifting her hands up mockingly said) Fine….. No one is stopping you, but first breakfast…… I am strict about timely meals you see (she said looking at Neha, Neha smiled)

Dipika didn't react…….. Cathy looked at Dipika and then at Neha……. She was about to open her mouth to say something when Neha interrupted knowingly……..

Neha: I'll serve……

Cathy nodded…….

Cathy: (smiled) Please, be my guest…

Neha started to serve them a breakfast of parathas and its combination……. She laid out plates and passed it to Ajay, Shotgun and Boxer…… She also laid out a plate for Dipika and brought it to her…….

Dipika shook her head….. Neha sat down beside her…….

Neha: (taking her hands and forcing the plate in her hands) Mam aapko khaanaa hi padegaa….. (Dipika started to refuse again, but Neha interrupted) Mam, please…… Khaa lijiye…. You have to………

Dipika looked at Neha and saw her determined face and reluctantly took the plate…. She started to eat it slowly……

Neha went back to the table and started on her breakfast…….

By nine they had all finished their breakfast, followed by a hot cup of coffee and were ready to depart…….

Outside the hospital……

Only on seeing the ambulance did Dipika realize something……….

Dipika: (to no one in particular) Oh…. Bhool hi gayi….. Vo wardboy Magan aur us hospital ka ambulance…….

Boxer: (who was coming behind, hearing what Dipika said, answered) Vo Magan mujhe subah mila thaa….. Vo apna hospital wapas chala gaya hai……. Usne kaha ki uske ek driver dost ambulance chalane walaa hai…….

Dipika: Oh….. (Relieved) Thank God…… (Then thinking something) Cathy tum mere liye kuch kar sakti ho.... I am asking you favor upon favor…..

Cathy: (taking Dipika's hand) Come on Deeps…. Main to tumhare liye kuch bhi karne ko taiyaar hoon…. Humari friendship itni kamzor nahi hai ki, jo hum ek doosre ke liye jo kar rahein hain, use favor ka naam do……

Dipika: (smiling) Us Magan ko tumhare hospital me kaam de sakti ho…. As it is you must be short of one wardboy now, beacuse of us……. (She joked)

Cathy: (Laughed) Bas… Itna hi…. I thought you were going to ask something more bigger….. And you were right….. I do need a wardboy….. Aaj hi use ek appointment order bhej deti hoon uske hospital…….

Dipika thanked her……….


By the ambulance……..

Aryan was already at the ambulance's back…. Boxer had decided to travel with the ambulance….. Cathy had arranged for a wardboy to accompany them in case of emergency………….

Dipika: (to Cathy) Thank you Cathy……..

Cathy: Tsk tsk…… Come on yaar… Aryan is actually healing much better, so no need to worry. Maine apne father-in-law ko phone kar diyaa hai. He's an expert in coma cases. Maine unhe case details bata di hai and he'll be waiting for you when you reach the hospital……. And yeah (handing over to Dipika a folder) Ye Aryan ki case sheet hai….. Operation details, Prescriptions, scan reports sab…. Give this folder to my father-in-law. Medicines ko maine wardboy ko de di hai…. He'll take care………

Dipika: (once again) Thanks again Cathy….. (Before Cathy could protest) Hum chalte hain… Take care…..

Cathy hugging Dipika said…..

Cathy: (Joking) Ek doctor se hi care karne ko keh rahi ho…… (Looking back at Dipika) You take care…. Aryan will be all (atressing on 'all') right…… His condition is improving very much….

Dipika nodded and got into the back of the jeep…..

Cathy hugged Neha and shook hands with Ajay, Boxer and Shotgun……

Everyone thanked her and got into the jeep……..

Ajay driving, Shotgun in the front passenger seat and Neha beside Dipika…… Boxer got into the ambulance's front passenger seat………

Cathy gave some last minute instruction to the driver of the ambulance and the wardboy and they soon left Nasik behind………..

When they had reached Mumbai' Apollo Care Center, The Hospital…. As said, Cathy's father-in-law was there waiting for them at the entrance…..

He took care of all the arrangements…… He had said that he would have to keep Aryan under observation for twenty-fours, only after which he could decide on the course of treatment…………

On the way Dipika had called up the commissioner of their arrival….. The Commissioner had promised security for Aryan at the hospital……..

Sure enough when they reached the hospital, they had found constables waiting for them.....

Dipika had insisted that the others, Ajay, Boxer, Shotgun and Neha go to their houses, to refresh themselves…... Reluctantly everyone left promising to be back soon……..
Just as her trails of thought ended Neha found herself at the entrance of the canteen of the hospital…….

It was a separate building by the side of the hospital, but had a short cut through the hospital's ground floor……….

Neha scanned the canteen tables and saw Dipika seated at a far table of the canteen facing the hospital's garden……

Dipika had a table for herself and was looking out into the garden…….

Neha came to the table and sat down opposite to Dipika……..

She followed Dipika's gaze and looked out…………

It was a beautiful scenic garden…. It had green French grass spread over, bordered with neatly trimmed and shaped bushes……. Many colorful flowers decorated the beauty…… The center of the garden had a huge fountain, which was spilling sparkling water……..

It was nearing sunset, with the sun casting its beautiful evening rays on the fountain waters……. ⭐️

It was a beauty unimaginable……………. If anyone saw the place from outside, they surely would have mistaken the hospital for a five star hotel……..

Neha turned back to Dipika……… Her eyes were glistened…….. Neha thought it was time she had a talk with her….. This could not go on….

Neha: Ma…. Dipika…….

Dipika slowly turned to look at Neha…… A tear flowed down her cheek……. 😭 . She didn't take effort to wipe it………

Neha: (continuing) Jo hua useeke bare me soch rahi hain naa…?????? 😕

Dipika: (her voice not really heard) Neha, I feel responsible……….

Neha: (squeezing Dipika's hand which rested on the table) But that's not true….. Aap kisssi bhi tarah zimedaar nahi hain

Neha did mean it……. She said this very truthfully…… Those people were the type who would not hesistate to go to any extent…….. Hospital Canteen.......

Neha: Dipika, please….. Why don't you think it this way…. Unhe pata chala, aap ki wajah se to isiliye aaj Aryan zindaa hai. Coma me hai (pausing) lekin zinda to hai. We atleast have hopes now. Warna the doctor had given Aryan only hours. 😭

Dipika just looked on as Neha spoke…… This may have been true, still……. 😕

Dipika: I……

Neha: (interrupting) Chodiye naa please. Aap doshi nahi hain. Hum sabko maloom hai ki jo kuch bhi hua isme aapne jaan bhoojh ke to kuch nahi kiyaa. And I am sure Aryan would too accept this view.

Dipika nodded and was glad that none of the others tought her responsible for what had happened………

Neha: (smiling said) Aapne kuch nahi khaayaa hoga….. I'll get you something…….

Dipika started to reject but Neha was already gone……. She came back with a plate of sandwhich and tea…… Well sweetened, it allows you to recover from shock and depression……..

Dipika: (as Neha placed them in front of her) Tumne kuch nahi liyaa?

Neha: (nodding) I'll get myself a juice…….

She went back, got herself a juice and seated herself…….

Dipika started on her sandwhich….. She and Neha were chatting about nothing in particular…..

Just as Dipika started on her tea…… Neha saw Ajay and Boxer entering the canteen…. Seeing them they made their way towards them…….

Dipika looked up and smiled at them, which they too reciprocated and Dipika was glad for that. She didn't feel guilty anymore.
😊
Hospital Canteen……

Ajay: Humne decide kiya hai, ki every night main yaa Boxer hospital me rahenge…. Aaj raat ko to hum dono hi yahaan rahenge…… Aap dono ghar jaake aaraam kar lo…….

Neha started to protest when Boxer interrupted…….

Boxer: (lifting his hands silencing her) Yahaan rehke bhi aap log kuch nahi karne waale….

Neha and Dipika pondered over it…. They knew nothing could be done even if they were there……

Dipika: (finally accepting, nodding) Haan Boxer ye theek rahegaa……..

Neha too nodded her agreement….

Dipika and Neha left together for their homes…… Ajay, Boxer saw them till the gate and went back into the hospital………





Neha lifted her head…… Saw the time and drew in a breath……. It was nearing 10 'O clock….. My God……. At this time if she was here and that…. That……. That….. ghoosat found out…. Not she was afraid of him, not Neha… It's just that he would get a reason to taunt her…….

Already he was making every effort of trying to find fault with Special Squad team's work…… One or the other he taunts them, that too without a reason…. They just had to grin and bear…………

Neha's mood changed and she hurriedly got up……. She cautiously came outside Dipika's cabin and saw Aryan's seat was empty…. Heaved a sigh of relief….. Then her eyes fell on Dipika who was deep in thought…… Neha knew what she was thinking…... 😕

At present everyone of the team was and always are thinking about the only person they missed a lot……….. Aryan…….. 😭

Neha turned to go to her table, when she had the shock of her life…….. 😡 She became so angry that it took all her strength to control herself……

Dipika's orders…… under no circumstances were the team going to misbehave, which would give them chance for that…. That…. That…. Oh she always ran out of names to call that guy……. She should score the hindi website and get names to call him……….

Nowadays she had started to use a lot of names to call that guy and she felt he deserved it, eventhough Dipika didn't approve of it…….

Neha stomped to her place…… Laid a forcefull but restraining hand on those shoulders……..

Special Squad Office…….

The owner of the shoulder turned around….. A beautiful face, guys would surely die hard for her one stare 😳

The beautiful long fingers which had been working on Neha's laptop stopped………

Neha: (In a voice which was threatening, but controlled) Excuuuuuuseee meeeee……. What do you think you are doing? Ye mera laptop hai…….

Leaning front, Neha just shut her laptop….. The girl had a nick of a moment to take her hands out….. She glared at Neha………. 😳

Neha folded her hands and stared down at the elegant face…. But according to Neha she was staring down at a face full of egoism……… 😈

The girl stood up and moved away from the chair she occupied…….

She was tall, slim and had good bone structure…. Her face with high cheek bones glowed with intelligence, but beneath those neatly trimmed eyebrows the brown eyes showed mischeif……

She came behind the chair and stared back with the same un-batting stare of Neha…… But Neha didn't budge….

Girl: Tummmmhaaaraa laptop….. (mockingly) Khud khareeda kya????? Ye Special Squad ka laptop hai and everyone have equal rights to use it……. Samjhi Ms. Neeeeehaaaaaaaa……..

Neha: (stressing on the words) Ms… Kharii Khotiii………

Girl: (angrily 😡 wagging a finger at her) Hello meraa naam kharii khotii nahi hai…. Its……

Neha: (with equal anger, she forcefully bent the finger aimed at her) Haan… Haan… Pata hai, pata hai ki teraa naam kya hai……. Hum to itnaa hi jaante hain, lekin aap to sabbbbbbbb kuch jaante hain, to ye bhi jaante honge ki….. Ye laptop Special Squad ke Chief Technology Officer ke use ke liye hai……

Inside her cabin, Dipika who just resumed her work casually looked outside to find the two girls talking heatedly to each other……

Oh no….. Sensing trouble, Dipika immediately came out of the cabin and walked hurriedly towards them…….

The girl pulled her finger from Neha's grasp, still glaring…………….

Neha: (was continuing)……And of course you were right…… Special Squad ke office items ko Special Squad ke officers use kar sakte hain, but you (herself pointing a finger at the girl) are not an officer of Special Squad remember that……!!!!!

With a triumph in her voice and smile, she folded her hands across her chest........

That girl just glared at Neha……… She was just trying to think some way to answer back Neha, when Dipika reached them….
Special Squad Office…….


Dipika: (Trying to understand what was going on) Kya ho raha hai yahaan???

Before Neha could answer Dipika's question……..

Girl: (To Neha) Sir ne vo database search ke reports maange the….. Tum nahi thi, so…… It was urgent…… Kaam ke waqt tum (Pointing her finger at Neha, as Neha had done to her) yahaan nahi thi….. Pata nahi kiske saath kahaan……. (She had a strange mock smile on her face)

Dipika: (Angrily) That's enough…….. Is tarah ki baatein main yahaan bardaash nahi koroongi………. Ye Special Squad ka office hai mind it………

"Hume pata hai…… Lekin shayad aapke staffs ko pata lagaana chahiye……."

Ohhh…. How Neha and Dipika detested that voice sarcastic voice… Urgh… Dipika turned around and glared at the tall, handsome guy standing behind her…….

The guy, whom Dipika faced, was the sort of guy every girl would die to atleast talk to……. He was a bit taller than Dipika, well-built and had sparkling eyes which suggested intelligence and a lot arrogance too……..

Not wanting to show her anger, she stood her full height to answer him back……… No one, no one is going to insult the officers of Special Squad in front of her……….

Dipika: (with a smile purposely rendered, she shot back) Timing aur punctuality ke bare me aap baat naa hi karein to acchha hai….. We are here from 9:30 a.m. sharp, lekin aap aur aapki assistant ko ye baat pata hona chachiye……. Its past 10'o clock….. Reporting time……..

Guy: (smiling sarcastically) Oh…. Punctuality……. Maine vo reports kal hi maange the….. Lekin aapki (stressing on these words, glaring at Neha) Chief Technology Officer ne reports submit nahi kiye….. Ab boliye timing k…….

Neha interrupted…….

Neha: Excuse me, sir (stressing on the 'sir')….. Aap shayad apnaa desk check karna bhool gaye…….. Reports aapne maange and they were at your table within half an hour….. Maybe you must have a look around often……… Zaraa apni nazar charoon tarah ghumaayein to acchha rahega…

Saying this Neha smiled, she had said the last sentence with a strange tone, as if trying to make that guy remember of something

The guy gave her a cold stare which Neha reciprocated……… He was surprised at the strength and stamina the Special Squad team showed, from the day he had come……..

He wondered……. They should have been depressed….. Not fight back like this, when a tragedy has taken place with one of their colleague and best friend………. And he knew that they were more like a family related to Aryan Khanna……. He thought he could suppress them with his mannerism, but they were equally alert and giving back, which he had not expected……. He liked been bossy not been bossed…….

Special Squad Office….

Before he could retort back…… Dipika intervened………

Dipika: Vishal…… Apne assistant se keh denaa that anything she wants she must ask permission first…. And she is your assistant and in no way related to Special Squad…. So she has no rights to operate or use any of Special Squad equipments…… Commssioner ne permission di, so she is here else…….

Saying this Dipika turned gave a curt nod to Neha and went to her cabin….. Neha glared at that girl, with a triumph smile went back to her place, to do her work…… They had a case on hand and they had to work on that………

Vishal stared at Neha and then at Dipika's retreating back……. He was fuming with anger…… He indicated to his assistant to follow him and made way to the pantry………

Neha turned her chair and saw them going…. Immediately she got up and went to Dipika's cabin…….

Dipika looked up the book she was browsing……. Something on Neha's face indicated she was angry…….

Dipika sighed… This was going on from the day that guy and his assistant had stepped in here…… The whole of her team didn't like their presence and they too had that attitude which no one would like……. Also she knew her team didn't have the patience to tolerate the nonsense…… Some or other would come to her and complain daily…….

Dipika: Neha…..

Neha hurriedly interrupted…….

Neha: Dipika….. (It was long time before when Dipika had said that she could call her by her name and not 'mam') Us Vi… (Stressing on the word) Sir…. Ko tolerate karna hi hai, I know that, but vo uski assistant that's not done…… Kaheen suna….

Just then Ajay and Boxer entered the cabin and Neha stopped…..

Seeing Neha's fuming face Ajay knew she was in a bad mood…. And nowadays if she was in a bad mood it was because of that girl……

Ajay: (shaking his head) Tsk tsk…. Kya hua? Usne phir se kuch kiya kya?

Neha: (angrily) Kiyaa? Kya kuch nahi kiya us us….. Argh…..

Dipika: Neha…… Please calm down….. Uske ke liye tum apni pressure kyun bada rahi ho..????!!!

Neha: Dip…..

Dipika: (firmly) Neha it's not right…. Agar tum aise hi behave karti rahi, to tum use mauka hi deti rahogi to find mistakes….. (In a soft voice) And ab Special Squad is not in a state to afford all these tantrums….. You know what I mean……

Neha looked at Dipika and nodded…… She calmed down…… She knew what Dipika was telling…. And for that she would adjust, she decided……..

Neha: Sorry Dipika…… Aaj se I'll be more controlled…..

Boxer: That's like a good girl…..

Neha smiled at Boxer and Ajay put a hand around her shoulders and squeezed it gently, with an assuring smile………..
Special Squad Office….

Dipika smiled and turned her attention to Ajay…….

Knowing what she was going to ask, Ajay said…….

Ajay: Sundar ki beti aa gayi….. Interrogation room me bithaaya hai…….

Dipika: Theek hai….. (Getting up, she says) Boxer Vishal ko inform karo… Vo….

Boxer: (interrupting) Use to yahaan hona chahiye…… Cabin ke alava sabhi jagah pe hota hai…. 😉

Dipika: (in a warning tone) Boxer…..

Boxer stopped in mid-sentence and looked in a mock apology……

Dipika: (continuing) Pantry me hai……..

Boxer: Laata…. (Looking at Dipika's stare)I mean (stressing on 'bu') bulaata hoon……. 😆

Saying this Ajay and Boxer go towards the pantry, grinning……

Dipika shaking her head at the funny duo, smiles at their retreating back….. Then telling Neha to follow her, she made her way to the interrogation room, when Vishal joined them……..

To Dipika's left……….

Vishal: (in a mock tone) To aap bhi interrogation karti hain? 😉

Without looking at him Dipika says…….

Dipika: Rules ke mutaabik, ek female witness yaa suspect ko interrogate karte samay ek female officer ka hona zaroori hai. By now you should have known that….

Vishal: Rules….!!! Dipika…….

Dipika turned towards him and folded her hands; she gave him a look which clearly said "Mister... You are forgetting something"……
😳
