Daya in jail

chapter 4

Abhijeet : Thik hai sir. Aap orders follow kariye. Mai wo karta hu jo mujhe karna chahiye.

He went outside cabin. Acp pradyuman called Pankaj in cabin.

Acp pradyuman : Pankaj Abhijeet pe nazar rakho. Wo jo bhi kare usme tum uska saath do.

Pankaj : Jee sir.

Abhijeet started to think what to do next. 🤔 Suddenly something clicked in his mind. He looked in front and found Acp pradyuman there. He got up from his place and said " Sir meri na tabiyat nahi lag raha hai. "

Acp pradyuman : Tabiyat acchi nahi lag rahi hai ?

Abhijeet : Ha sir. To mai  jao ?

Acp pradyuman : Jao aur apni medical reports lekar aao.

At the same time Acp pradyuman winked at Pankaj.

Pankaj : Actually sir meri bhi tabiyat kharab lag rahi hai.

Acp pradyuman : Abhijeet tum ja rahe ho to saath me Pankaj ko bhi lekar jao.

Abhijeet : Jee sir.

Both ( Abhijeet and Pankaj )  of them went at the crime spot. They climbed on the containers.

Abhijeet while rubbing his lips said " Us kidnapper ko goli peeth par. Daya ne goli chalayi uske pair par. Lekin hume goli mili hai sirf ek jo laash ke peeth me se mili.

To wo goli kaha hai jo Daya ne pair par chalai ?

Samjh rahe ho Pankaj ?
"

Pankaj : Sir iska matlab hume is jagah ko acche se check karna hoga. Hume wo goli yahi par milegi.

Abhijeet : Good work. Chalo dhundte hai goli.

Both of them started the task of finding missing bullet.

On Daya ' s side, Daya changed the uniform to prisoners uniform. The Jailor along with constables were leading the way to his cell.

While all of them were going , the other prisoners were making teasing comments like " Ye dekho aa gaya Acp ka kutta. "

He clenched his fists.

" Ye akela nahi. Iske saath ek aur bhi hai. Kya naam hai uska ?

Ha. Abhijeet. "

He fists were made tight.

" Acp ke Paltu kutte hai dono. Wo jo hai na iska saathi Abhijeet wo ek dimagi mariz hai. "

Enough !! Daya could tolerate any bad words about himself but for Abhijeet. It was intolerable. He closed his eyes. He saw Abhijeet ' s face in front of him.

( Flashback start )

( Refer to maut ka muqabla )

Abhijeet : Kya hai ye Daya ? Tum jaante ho na football ek aggressive sport hai.

Daya : Jaanta hu. Lekin wo mere baare me kuch bhi bol raha tha.

Abhijeet : Wo tumhe chidha raha tha aur tum chid gaye. Almost maarte maarte bacha  wo aadmi.

Daya : Mai kya karu Abhijeet. Mujhe bohot gussa aa raha tha.

Abhijeet : Gussa bohot aata hai tumhe. Thik hai. Jab bhi tumhe gussa aaye tum lakdi par kheel marna.

Daya : Thik hai.

Whenever Daya used to get angry he used to nail a nail inside it. After doing so he felt better.

Soon the wooden plank got covered with nails. Everytime Daya ' s anger got less than previous  ones. Abhijeet saw this.

Abhijeet : Ab jab tumhe gussa na aaye to tum ek ek kar wo kheel nikal lena.

Daya took out the nail from the plank.
Like this there was no nsil left on the plank.
Abhijeet showed Daya the plank.

Abhijeet : Ye dekh rahe ho Daya. Is lakdi ko aisa samjho ki wo ek insan hai, kheel yani gussa hai. Jaise ye lakdi ki halat ho gayi hai usi tarah insan ki bhi yahi halat hoti jab uspar koi gussa kare.

Hum ab chahkar bhi us lakdi ko pahle jaisa nahi kar sakte. Ye to sirf dk lakdi hai insan ko dukhane se aisi hi zakhm honge jo kabhi bhar nahi payenge.

Isliye isse aage apne gusse ko kabu karna seekho.

Daya put a hand on Abhijeet ' s hand and said " Ab se mai apne gusse ko control me rakhunga. "

( flashback end )

He took a deep breath and opened his eyes. He was feeling good. He ignored that comment and went straight without looking at them. Finally they reached the cell where an old man was already present.

Daya went inside that cell and the constables and Jailors left the place. He went in the corner and sat down. He kept thinking about the small baby which was only few months old.

He lost track of time. He saw a glass of water in front of him.

Old man : bohot der ho gayi hai. Thoda paani pi lo.

Daya kept staring at the glass of water.

Old man :  Apne liye na sahi apne parivar ke liye hi sahi jo tumhara bahar intezar kar rahe hai. Unke liye hi paani pi lo.

Daya glanced at the locket tied at his neck and took that water.

Soon the bell rang.

Daya finally breaking the silence said " Baba ye bell kis cheez ki hai ? "

Old man : Ye abhi khaane ka samay ho gaya hai na isliye baji hai. Aao chalo mere saath.

Daya was thinking whether to go or not. For Abhijeet he decided to go with him. Both of them went and found already a line being present for taking food. Both of them stood in line.

A prisoner came after taking food and smashed Daya.

Prisoner : Sorry galati se ho gaya.

Daya neglected the person. Finally it was Daya ' s turn to get the food. Food was served in his plate. Again someone bumped on him. The plate fall down on ground.

Daya picked that plate up , took the food and went to have a seat while eating. Again a prisoner was going to bump him but this time he didn ' t give a chance to him. Instead the prisoner fall down on ground.

Daya : Tumhe kya lag raha hai mujhe pata nahi chalega ki ye sab jaan bujh ke kar rahe ho tum. Batao kiske kehne par kar rahe ho sab ?

The prisoner showed his eyes towards another prisoner who having his food along with his punters.

Daya went near them and placed his food plate on table.

Daya : Tum logo kya raha hai ye jo kuch ho raha hai mujhe kuch samjh nahi aa raha hai.

Head of punters : Tu kya bol raha hai. Hume to kuch samjh me nahi aa raha hai.

Daya : Samjh nahi aa raha ya na samjhne ki acting kar rahe ho tum.

Head of punters just laughed at him.

Daya was about to punch at him but the old man witbh whom he was sharing cell intervened and said " Ye kya kar rahe ho tum. Apne gusse ko kabu karo. "

A line hit Daya ' s ears as

" Gussa bohot khatarnak cheez hai. Apne gusse ko kab karna seekho Daya. "

Daya took his food plate and went from there in silence. While he was going he heard the other prisoners calling him as " Darpok. " but he went from there without saying a word.
