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.

Both of them had food and then went back in the cell and started doing the work assigned to them.

Daya : Aapko gussa nahi aata police waloon ka ?

Old man : Nahi. Mera beta bhi ek police officer tha.

He started narrating his tale.

Daya : Aapke saath bohot bura hua baba.

Old man : Kya kaha tumne mujhe ?

Daya thought at first old man had confusion so repeated as " Baba. "

Old man spread his hand over head and said " Tum bohot acche ho beta. "

Daya repeated his words as " Beta. "

Old man : Haan beta. Tum mere bete jaise ho.

Daya now in determined tone said " Aap chinta mat kariye. Mai hu na. Mai aapko begunah sabit karke rahunga. "

Old man : Nahi beta. Uski koi jarurat nahi hai.

Daya : Kyu baba ?

Old man : Beta ab mai jeeu to kiske liye. Mera is duniya mai koi hai ?

Daya : Baba mai hu na. Aap mere saath chaliye.

Old man : Par beta uske liye hum dono ko yaha se nikalna hoga.

Daya : ( in a confident tone ) Aap chinta mat kariye baba. Mera ek dost hai. Wo hum dono ko jald hi is jail se nikalega.

Old man : Beta tumne duniya nahi dekhi. Isliye aisa bol rahe ho. Ek baar jail ho jaye to dost dost nahi rahta.

Daya : Nahi baba. Mera dost aisa nahi hai. Wo mera dost hi nahi bhai hai. Chahe duniya idhar ki udhar ho jaye wo mera saath kabhi nahi chodega.

Old man : Phir abhi tak wo kyu nahi aaya tumhe chudane ?

Daya : ( in a confident tone ) Saboot. Saboot dhund raha hai wo mere begunahi ka. Mere pass to aap hai.

( in a concerned tone ) Par pata nahi wo akela kaisa reh raha hoga. Apna khayal rakh bhi raha hoga ya nahi.

Old man : Beta pahle to mujhe tumhare dost par shak tha. Par tumhare baatein sunkar to mujh bhi lag raha hai. Wo jarur aayega aur tum is jail se jald se jald nikalega.

Daya : Ha baba. Hum dono ko.

At the same time he noticed a tense shade on old man ' s face.

Daya : Baba aapko agar koi pareshani hai to aap bata sakte hai mujhe.

Old man : Beta tumhe nahi batunga to kise batunga.

Daya : Baba aap un logo ko jaante hai jo aaj mujhe uksa rahe the ?

Old man : Jee beta ji. Lekin aap un logo se jara sambhalkar hi rahiye.

Daya : Kyu baba ?

Old man looked here and there and confirmed that no one was looking at both of them and continued as " Beta mera ek dost tha. Uski pata nahi ek din achanak uski maut ho gayi. "

Daya : Kya achanak maut ho gayi.

Old man : Beta dheere yaha deewaron ke bhi kaan hote hai.

Daya : ( in low tone so that only two of them can hear ) Kya keh rahe hai aap ?

Old man : Ha beta. Usne aisa kuch sun liya tha jo use sunna nahi chahiye tha.

Daya : Aisa kya suna usne ?

Old man : Wo to mujhe nahi pata. Kyunki us din ke baad agle hi din uski maut ho gayi.

Daya : Iska matlab ye kaam un hi logo ka hai jinki baatein aapke dost ne suni hogi.

Old man : Ha beta.

Daya : Ye sab to thik hai. Par is maut ka aur un logo ka kya jo mujhe pareshan kar rahe the.

Old man : ( in a meaningful tone ) Tum abhi tak nahi samjhe.

Daya got the hint.

Daya : Jee samjh gaya mai aap kya kehna chah rahe hai.

Lekin ye baat aapko bhi pata hai ki sabse pahle saboot chahiye. Saboot ke bina hum kuch nahi kar sakte.

Old man : Haan. Sahi kaha tumne saboot chahiye.

Daya : Aap chinta mat kariye. Mai saboot dhundhta hu. Kya aap mujhe kuch aur aisi baat bata sakte hai jisse mujhe saboot dhundne me asani ho.

Old man : Ha beta.

He then told Daya about " Radio " who knew all the things in jail.

At the same time constable came to check all the prisoners.

Old man : All the best beta. Aaj ke liye itna hi.

Daya : Jee baba.

Both of them continued their work.

The constable then went from there.

Some other place in jail, two people where making tokris.

One man : Boss wo buddha kuch jyada hi chabar chabar kar raha hai.

Second man : Tum to jaante ho na jab kabutar par goli chalate hai tab kabutar kaise jaan bachane ke liye fadfadta hai usi tarah wo bhi fadfada raha hai.

One man : Kya bol raha hai tu ? Boss dekhiye na ye kya bol raha hai ?

Boss : Sahi keh raha hai wo. Lagta hai is buddhe ka game bajane hi padega.

One man : Lekin boss wo Daya us kabutar ke saath har waqt reh rahta hai.

At the same time , second man said " Jo kaam din ke ujale me nahi ho sakta wo raat ke andhere me hota hai. "

Boss : Samjhdar ho gaye ho tum.

One person : Par dhyan rakhna hoga ki ye baat kisiko pata na chale.

Second person : Kisi ko kaano kaan khabar nahi hogi aur kaam bhi ho jayega.

Daya and old man were doing the work assigned to them but Daya was thinking how to get information from " Radio. "

Whereas on Abhijeet ' s side he was searching for bullet which Daya fired. He called the manager who manages the records of the containers. He interrogated him.

He started to check the all the containers. He started sweating as the weather was sunny. He wiped his sweat.

Pankaj saw him covered with sweat.

Pankaj : Sir aapko bohot pasina aa raha hai. Mai aapke liye paani lekar aata hu.

Abhijeet : ( while wiping his sweat ) Nahi Pankaj mujhe paani wagare nahi chahiye.

Pankaj didn ' t listen to him and brought a glass of chilled water to him.

Abhijeet : Pankaj maine kaha na nahi chahiye.

Pankaj : Sir please.

Abhijeet took the water and both of them resumed their work.

At last Abhijeet found a bullet in the container.

Abhijeet : Yahi hai wo bullet jo Daya ke gun se chali hai.
