LET'S GET 8 YEARS BACK...

Abhirika are sitting in the hotel facing each other..

Abhijeet – Ahem! Tarika ji aap kya legi chai, coffee, Thanda?

Tarika – Nahi Abhijeet..kuch nahi..

Abhijeet – Are Tarika ji aise kaise? Nahi kuch to lena hoga..please..

Tarika – Okay....

Abhijeet orders some food and cold drinks.

While eating..

Abhijeet – Rishte dekhne shuru ho gaye? Ghar pe?

Tarika – Hmm

Abhijeet – Aapko...koi...pasand aaya?

Tarika looks at him..

Tarika – Hmm

Abhijeet (with moist eyes) – K...k..kaun hai..... wo? Kh....khushnaseeb?

Tarika smirks with moist eyes.

She takes out her phone and shows the photo to Abhijeet.

Abhijeet is shocked to see the photo.

Abhijeet (with tears flowing out his eyes) – Y..ye...aap kya keh rahi hai Tarika ji...ye kaise ho sakta hai?

Tarika – Ho sakta hai Abhijeet. Tumhari haa chahiye.

Abhijeet – Lekin mujhme haa kehne ki himmat nahi hai Tarika ji! Mujhe nahi karni aapse shaadi...kam se kam abhi to nahi...

(Yes, it's Abhijeet's photo which Tarika showed him)

Tarika – Kyu nahi Abhijeet? Maine tumse pehle bhi kaha hai ab bhi keh rahi hu...mujhe pata hai tumhe pal pal khatra rehta hai...lekin phir bhi mai tumse hi shaadi karna chahti hu..

Abhijeet – Lekin mai iss jimmedari ke liye taiyyar nahi hu Tarika ji..

Tarika – Par mai rukne ke liye taiyyar hu na! Mai rukungi...chahe retirement ke baad tum mujhse shaadi karo...lekin mujhe yu beech me rakhkar confuse mat karo...please...humare relationship ko kitne saal ho gaye hai...lekin aajtak tumne kabhi iss baare me khulke baat bhi nahi ki mujhse...mujhe kya chahiye...iss baare me to tumne socha hi nahi

Abhijeet – Aisa nahi hai Tarika ji...socha...kai baar socha...lekin...kabhie bol nahi paaya

Tarika smirks

Abhijeet – Sach Tarika ji..aisa nahi hai ki mai aapse pyaar nahi karta, par mai aapse shaadi nahi kar sakta....ye baat mai aapko kabhie bata nahi paaya...shayad aapko khone ke darr ki wajah se ya phir aap mujhse dur na chali jaaye iss jidd ki wajah se....lekin jo bhi ho...meri jindagi me shaadi ki koi jagah nahi hai...I am sorry Tarika ji...

Tarika just stares at Abhijeet with blurred vision as tears make way out of her eyes..

Abhijeet keeps his hand on Tarika's. Tarika pulls it back.

Abhijeet – Tarika ji...

Tarika – Ye baat hume kaafi pehle karni chahiye thi Abhijeet sir..

Abhijeet – Meri baat to..

Tarika takes out her ring which Abhijeet had gifted her.

Tarika – Aajse...abhise hum dono sirf do colleagues hai. SIR. Humara aur koi Rishta nahi...kaash aap apne pyaar ka ijhaar karne se pehle bata dete ki shaadi ki jagah aapki life me nahi...mujhe dhoke jaisa to nahi lagta..

Abhijeet – Mai manta hu Tarika...lekin mai aapse pyaar karta hu...sachme...

Tarika – Mai jaanti hu Abhijeet Sir..aap mujhse kitna pyaar karte ho....lekin aapne mujhe 4 saal se dhoke me rakha hai ki aap mujhse shaadi karoge...aapne mere saath... ye mai bardasht nahi karungi..

Abhijeet – Ta...

Tarika gets up from there and leaves the hotel..

NEXT DAY..

Daya, Dushyant, Kavin, Shreya are working. ACP, Mayur, Sachin, Pankaj, Nikhil, Divya are yet to come. Abhijeet comes inside. His face had fallen. Tarika and Salunkhe are in the Lab.

Daya comes out of his cabin.

Daya – Aur boss..! Kaisa tha kal ka din?

Abhijeet smiles weakly – Accha tha..

Dushyant looks at Kavin from his cabin. Dushyant comes out and offers Abhijeet a glass of water.

Abhijeet drinks it and has a breakdown. Daya consoles him. Abhijeet speaks up after sometime and narrates the other day's incidence.

Shreya – Lekin sir aapne usse waada karna hi nahi chahiye tha na ki aap usse shaadi karoge. Koi bhi Rishta yu hi thodi banta hai...wishwas bhi to chahiye.

Abhijeet – Mai jaanta hu Shreya..

Dr. Salunkhe – Kuch nahi jaanta ye..

Abhijeet – Salunkhe saab..

Dr. Salunkhe – Haa mai...

Dr.Salunkhe has come with Dr.Tarika in the bureau.

Abhijeet – Aap yaha..

Dr.Salunkhe – Kyu? Nahi aa sakta? Yaha aane ke liye mujhe tumhari permission ki koi jarurat nahi hai samjhe?

Abhijeet – Haa Dr.Salunkhe...hume pata hai...lekin aap achanak?

Salunkhe glares at him.

Dr.Salunkhe – Dushyant...apne senior se keh do...Dr.Tarika usse kuch baat karna chahti hai.

Dushyant opens his mouth to speak with Abhijeet that..

Kavin – Sir..aap hi keh dijiye na..

Dr.Salunkhe smirks – Maine isiliye Dushyant se kaha tha kyuki wo nausikhiyo ki tarah sawaal nahi karta. Seniors ke orders follow karta hai.

Kavin sighs and looks at Dushyant.

Dr.Salunkhe – Senior Inspector Dushyant....aap apne senior ke orders sunenge ya junior ke?

Dushyant nods – Abhijeet sir..Dr.Tarika aapse baat karna chahti hai. Unse baat kar lijiye please.

Kavin sighs – (irritated, murmurs) Inspector Kavin Khanna aapke SENIOR se ye to sikhna padega..jo bhi situation ho..utni hi shaanti se saari baatein karega. Congratulations aapko baccha hua hai..I am sorry aapke pitaji nahi rahe dono emotions plainly express kaise kare ye Dushyant babu bataege.

Shreya comes beside Kavin – Sir...aap kuch bol rahe hai?

Kavin – Umm? Nahi...kuch nahi.. (smiles)

Shreya nods. Abhijeet and Tarika go to the canteen.

Dr.Salunkhe returns back to the forensic lab. Other teammates go back to their work.

CANTEEN...

Abhijeet and Tarika are sitting facing each other.

Abhijeet – T..Tarika ji...

Tarika – Dr.Salunkhe ne kaha isliye aapka keemti waqt maanga hai sir.

Abhijeet – Tarika ji...aapke liye puri jindagi de du...

Tarika smirks.

Abhijeet – Tarika ji...maine maana maine aapse kaha tha ki mai aapse shaadi karunga, lekin...

Tarika (interrupting Abhijeet) – Mujhe kuch nahi sunna hai Abhijeet sir. Mai khush hu..lekin please...ab mere paas waapis mat aana. Mai apni jindagi me move on karna chahti hu...

Abhijeet – Ji Tarika. Lekin bass ek baar meri baat sun lijiye.

Tarika – Kahiye.

Abhijeet – Mai aapse 4 saal pehle pyaar karta tha aur aage bhi karunga. Lekin koi Rishta isliye nahi bana paunga kyuki koi bhi Rishta commitment par tikta hai, wishwas par tikta hai aur sajheedaari par tikta hai. Mai jindagi bhar aapke upar bojh nahi banna chahta. I am sorry ki maine waada kiya aapse shaadi karunga... Aur mai apna waada todta hu tarika ji,Tarika leaves from there. So does Abhijeet. Kavin, like before heard their conversation. His eyes were moist. Without anyone noticing him, he went to terrace.

He was looking at the sky. Actually, far away from sky. He was lost in his thoughts that an assuring hand disturbed him.

Kavin wept his eyes and turned back to see him.

Kavin - Dushyant...

Dushyant – Tu ro raha hai?

Kavin – Nahi..

Dushyant kept staring at him.

Kavin – Dekh...mujhe ab masti karne ka mood nahi hai. Aise ghur mat.

Dushyant – Tu sach batade nahi ghurunga.

Kavin sighs – Haa ro raha tha!

Dushyant smiles – Good. Ab bata kyu ro raha tha?

Kavin – Please jaa..mujhe akele rehna hai.

Dushyant – Akelapan kaisa hota hai ye mai jaanta hu. Isliye kabhie akele rehne ki sochna mat.

Kavin – Tu please jaega?

Dushyant – Agar hum dono ne apni jagah badal li hoti to kya tu mujhe aise akela chod deta?

Kavin – Paagal hai kya? Kabhie nahi chodta.

Dushyant – To bass. Mai bhi nahi jaunga.

Kavin sighs and Turns around.

Dushyant wraps his hand around Kavin's shoulder.

Dushyant – Ayyy Kavin. Jindagi me har cheez hum chahe waisi nahi hoti. Haa iska matlab ye nahi hota ki hum koshish karna chod de. Lekin jindagi khud itni unpredictable hai to tu jindagi mai faisle predictable hoge ye kaise keh sakta hai? Aur maana ki tune puri koshish ki Dr.Tarika aur Abhijeet sir ko milane ki. Lekin kya wo dono bhi khush reh paate? Nahi. Tarika ghut jaati aur Abhijeet sir use taken for granted lete rehte. Aaj nahi to kal ye Rishta tutna tha...kuch rishte bante hi bichadne ke liye hai. Ye teri acchayi hai ki tu un dono ko ek karna chahta tha...lekin meri baat samajh...wo dono kabhie ek hone ke liye bane hi nahi the.

Kavin looks at Dushyant and hugs him.

Dushyant – Are bass kar..kitna senti hoga.

Kavin – Tu humesha mere dil ki baat samajh jaata hai. Uss din bhi mere bina kahe tu apne part ke dialgues bolne laga. Aaj bhi mujhe kiss baat se dukh pohocha hai wo tujhe pata chal gaya.

Dushyant – Dost jo hu tera.

Kavin – Accha..mujhe to aaj pata chala.

Dushyant - Hote hai kuch aise log...jinse apneaap wavelength jud jaati hai.. Hote hai kuch aise log...jo bina kahe apne ban jaate hai.. Hote hai kuch aise log...jinse Rishta rakhe bina hi Rishta ban jaata hai.. Hote hai kuch aise log...dosti ka naata ajeeb hai...sach kaha jaata hai...

Kavin – Teri lines hai.?
Dushyant – Haa...kyu?

Kavin – Bass...aise hi...

Dushyant laughs – Accha.

They both break from the hug.

Kavin – Are Shreya ji..

Shreya – Mujhe laga aapka plan fail hogaya Abhijeet sir aur Tarika ko milane ka to aap dukhi hoge. Isliye yaha chali aayi. Lekin Dushyant sir pehle se the aapke saath.

Kavyant smile.

Shreya reciprocates too.

Dushyant – Tum sachme ek acchi dost ho Shreya.

Shreya – Thank you sir..

Dushyant – Sir nahi kaha to chalega. Hum humumr hai. Aur duty hours bhi khatm ho gaye hai.

Shreya smiles – Okay...Dushyant...

Dushyant nods and smiles.
