His phone rings, he looks at caller id and picks up the phone.. hello..

Acp in anger tone: Vineet.. kaha ho tum..

Vineet said "Sir main wo Aarav"

"foran.. bureau aao" and cuts the call in anger

"sir.. suniye." In anger he was about to throw his phone.. when Aarav stopped his hand.. kya Vineet sir ka gussa bechare phone pe kyu nikal rahe ho

Vineet: Aarav.. sir..

He asked "bula rahe hai na?"

Vineet nods "toh jaao" Aarav replied.

Vineet said "aapko aise chodke"

Aarav replied "ab tum nahi they mai rehta tha na"

Vineet nodded "haan.. par mai shaam ko wapas aaunga"

Aarav smiles.. jaisi tumhari marji..

Vineet leaves, he comes to bureau as always acp sir was eagerly waiting for him

Acp speaks "Vineet maine tumse mana kiya tha na ki koi bhi uss drug addict se rishta nahi rakhega phir bhi tum wahi"

Vineet replied "I am sorry sir.. par drug addict hone se pehle wo senior inspector Aarav hai.. aur mere bhai hat"

Acp asked In anger "matlab tum mera order nahi manoge"

Vineet stands with his head down, Acp said "tek hai jaisi tumhari marji lekin ek baat samajlo.. bekar mei tum apna waqt jaaya kar rahe ho.. wo insaan ab kabhi tek nahi hoga... (rudely and angrily) aur mujhse koi umeed mat rakhna"

Acp was about to move.. when Vineet said "sir Aarav ne khud se drugs nahi leye ussey diye gaye hai"

Acp stopped, he turned and asked "kya matlab hai tumara..?"

"sir aapko kya lagta hai ek cid officer joh drugs mafia.. ko pakarta unsey nafrat karta hai.. khud drugs lega usne bas ek choti se galti ki ek anjaan shaks pe bharosa karke ussey dost maan liya Aarav ki masumiyat ka faida uthaya usne aur dhere dhere unhe drugs dene laga aap hi batayie sir.. ismei unki kya galti hai unhone toh nahi kaha tha mujhe drugs doh... (tears rolled down his eyes) aap jante hai na sir.. wo kitne akele padh gaye they uss dard se guilt se bahar nikalna chahtey they tabhi Rohan naam ke shaks ne.. entry li aur (closed his eyes) sir agar mujhe iss baat ka pata nahi chalta na.. toh aap Aarav ko uss haal mei bhi nahi paa paate" others were standing and listening quietly... Vineet moves to his desk and gets to work.

Acp orders "Rajat Purvi.. pata karo iss Rohan ke baare mei kaun hai yeh jald se jald.. aur jaha kahi bhi chupa hua hai pakar ke laao"

Purvi: jee sir...

Vineet smiled but acp looked at him with anger, Vineet looked at computer and started working after noon Rajat enters inside with a man... Vineet looks at him with firing eyes.

Man: chodo mujhe.. chodo..

Vineet gets up, moves forwards towards him holds him and slaps the man falls down on ground then lifts him up "bahut shauk hai tujhe.. na dusro ki jindagi barbad karne ka.. haan.. (shouts at him..)"

Acp said "Vineet chodo ussey.. kanoon ko haath mei mat lo"

Vineet in extreme anger "sir.. isne ek cid officer ke saath aisa kaam kiya hai issey toh" slapped him again... "Rajat leke jaao issey issey pehle mai iski yahi jaan lelu"

While going Rohan says "afsoos bahut der ho gayi hai.. Vineet.. tum chahe jitni bhi koshish karlo Aarav ko wapas nahi paa paogey" A evil smirk was there.

"They hated me.. they tried to kill me the way they can"

"I was fooled by my own buddy.."

"Was I wrong? or not enough strong?"

"I just belived ... that's all I did..."

"But... still I did whatever I could"

Acp said "Rajat leke jaao issey (hating tone)

Rajat takes him in, Vineet comes to acp sir.. thank you sir... acp just moves to his cabin he didn't say anything but a sigh of relief could be seen in his tensed face.

Vineet said "Purvi.. mai Aarav se milne jaa raha hun"

Purvi who was just staring at Vineet smiled seeing his love and care.

Purvi said "aapne kar dikhaya Vineet sir u did it..." Saying she rubbed off that tear.

Vineet leaves, he reaches rehab smiling and thinks "Aarav ko bataunga mai sir ussey nafrat nahi kartey.. bas gussa hai"

He happily moves inside his room, while here Aarav saw him gets shocked and hides something...

"Vineet.. t..um" His time was much of shocked and despair.

Vineet said "haan.. aapko kuch batana tha"

Aarav asked "kya?"

Vineet comes and sits on stool and said "Aarav.. Rohan ko pakar liya hai aur acp sir ne khud.. ussey dhunda"

Aarav was shocked and asked "Sir ne? Lekin wo toh mujhse nafrat"

Vineet said "nahi Aarav sir tumse nafrat nahi kartey.. bas gussa hai agar nafrat kartey toh Rohan ko kabhi nahi pakartey yeh unke baap hone ki narazgi hai"

Aarav smiled... "sach Vineet.. wo mujhse nafrat nahi kartey"

Vineet: haan Aarav.. shaking his head.. sir tumse nafrat nahi kartey..

Aarav was smiling but something fishy was there in his smile don't know what.

Vineet found Aarav's behavior change his voice was not so weak as it was before he left he health was also better he was able to sit without any help in excitement Aarav hugged him.

Well Vineet being a cid officer could not ignore this unknown change when he hugged him back could see something which took him in his toes.

Vineet separates Aarav from hug, Aarav was surprised and Vineet looks at him angrily.

Aarav asked "Vineet.. kya hua?"

Vineet questioned him "tumne drugs li?"

Aarav was shocked.. n..a..hi.. nahi.. toh.. (hesitating)

Vineet held him tightly with his shoulders (shouted) Aarav jhooth mat bolo mujhse

Aarav's body shivered at Vineet's sudden shout

Aarav an unknown fear passed down his spins and a word come out "Vineet"

Vineet: kya Vineet? haan.. mai tumhe iss dal dal se bahar nikalne ke liye itni mehnat kar raha hun aur tum ho ki" taking out the hidden syringe. underneath the bed sheet "yeh.. throwing it down.. ye .. pointing to the syringe.. ye.. le rahe ho (harsly) tumhe kitna samjaya maine samjaya tha ki nahi"

Aarav gets scare at his shout and nods.. yes.. phir bhi.. leaving Aarav with a jerk.

"tumhare liye.. sirf tumhare liye maine Acp sir ka order bhi nahi mana itne jhooth bole maine.. sirf tumhare liye sirf tumhare liye.. lekin tum tumhe kya? Tumhe to apni hi karni ha tumhe auro se kya tumhe kya fark padta hai" Aarav shook his head "tumhe to wahi dal dal pasand hai.. tabhi to tum ab bhi wo zeher le rahe ho" teasingly.. "lagta hai Senior Inspecter Aarav ko ab uss zeher ki aadad hi gayi hai aur ab wo usse sath hi jeena chahte hai... aur itna sab hone ke baad bhi wo chahte hai ki hum unka sath de.. unse nafrat na kare.. unhe galat na kahe.. (an silence took place for some time in which Vineet calms down himself tears started to roll his eyes...)

"tumhe meri itni si baat nahi samjh nahi aati, itni si baat bas tumse.. itna hi toh keh raha hun mai ki kuch bhi ho mat haath lagao drugs ko kya tum meri itni si baat nahi maan saktey" he turns to leave when Aarav holds his hand.

"please Vineet please.. mat jao please i m sorry mai mai ab nahi lunga wo: his grip become tighter "pakka promise.. mai ab nahi"

Vineet shouted "please Aarav.. haath chodo mera"

"nahi.. maine chod diya toh tum chale jaaogey maine kaha na mai ab nahi lunga wo drugs" he said

" Aarav mera hath chodo" raising his voice.

"mai kya karta Vineet.. mujhse bardasht nahi hua.. wo sab aisa lag raha tha jaise mai mar jaunga ajeeb sa tha sab kuch mai nahi barash kar paya yaar mai nahi marna chahta yaar khaskar aise tarap tarap ke.. isliye wo maine.. (tears coming down from his eyes)

Vineet turned.. toh kya tum.. "drug addict" banke jee saktey ho.. yahi chahtey ho tum.. ki sir ki tarah duniya bhi tumhe ek drug addict ke naam se jaane bolo yahi chahte ho tum

Aarav looked up at him with disbelief.. Vineet..

"nahi na.. to phir kyu? kyu kar rahe ho khud ko kamzor iss drugs of lekar? tum itne weak to nahi the" in loud tone.. tu phir kya hua ab.. kyu pad rahe ho tum kamzor.. hann kyuuuu...? 

"Aarav dekho mai samajh sakta hun tumhari takleef lekin tum bhi toh samjho tumhe iss haal mei dekhke mujhe kaisa lagta hoga iss rehab center me ke bed par mujhe ..Acp sir ko.. jo kuch bolte nahi par unki aanko me dikhta hai ki unhe kitni takleef hoti hai tumhe aise dekhkar arey unka nahi to to mera hi soch lete.. kab se yaha hu tumhare sath.. aur kitni intezar kar raha hu ki tum. Yaha se bahar niklo aur uss Rohan ko bata sakhu ki dekho tumhari kitni koshiho ke bawajot Senior Inspecter Aarav ka tum kuch nahi bigad paye" he is still standing on his position.

Sitting besides him, holding his hand in his own "Aarav please wada karo ki tum drugs ko haath nahi lagogey tumhe humhare iss naye rishtey ka wasta.. please"

Aarav: promise Vineet!

Vineet hugged Aarav who really needed this hug which can't erase those painful days but yes having a strength to give him a smooth and lowers his pain and most important give him an assurance that Aarav now you are not alone I'm here.
