So your least favorite writer is back with another boring chapter! If can still wish to read please go ahead... Thank you... See you at the end!
Chapter 6
Arya moved towards room with careful steps. She was mentally prepared for any kind of attack. She pushed open the door as she turned the knob and it opened with a creaking sound. She walked inside and looked around to find the source of the sound, when she saw a book fall from a book shelf. She wondered how this happened! Tightening her grip on the knife she went near the bookshelf and pulled out two more books to find a small fluffy cat staring at her with scared expressions. Arya smiled and put down the pocket knife and as soon as she moved out from her way the cat jumped down the bookshelf and swiftly ran out of the room through a open window... Maybe the way cat came in! An open window!!! It was enough to ignite a spark in Arya's brain. The door to this room was closed... She had opened it herself! The room was as dirty as the living room but wasn't 'dirtier' than that. If this window would have been open from the time when the owner left this house this room should have been extra dirty! Credits to the wind and insects that would make their way through! But this wasn't the case and so this ment that this window was opened in recent times. Clearly indicating that someone had come into the house, this way. She wondered who it was? Maybe the mysterious man who was leaving her notes? But she had no proof to be sure and brushing aside this thought she started looking around the room.
It was actually a bedroom with a king sized bed in the center. A carpet was covering the floor while some photos hung on the walls. Photos of the same man and lady that she saw in the living room. While the most photos were of the same small girl. In a basket there were some toys kept. The room was huge and from where she was standing she could see the door of a dressing room. Besides the bookshelf was a cupboard and going near she opened it. It wasn't locked and opened with ease to reveal some branded blazers, shirts and sarees. Although they looked very old they were still in a condition good enough to reveal its cost. She looked through them to find nothing of interest when a folder like thing that was kept on the bottom shelf of the cupboard gained her attention. Bending on her knees she picked up the folder and opening the velcro she started looking through the papers kept in it. Some important documents like pan card etc were kept in it. She was shuffling through them when she saw a birth certificate. She was about to put it away when the name on the certificate caught her eye. The name being 'ARYA MALHOTRA'. The world around her stopped moving and she could not believe what she had just seen!
Arya - (to herself) Shayad koi aur Arya hogi. Surname bhi toh alag hai! Ha aisa hi hoga... (after a second thought) Lekin papa ne toh mujhe adopt kiya tha na! Oh god!!! What on earth is happening!
Then she looked at the birth date in the certificate and to her shock it was again her birthdate. Proving that it was her. Arya was too shocked to react when turning to the next document she found a death certificate... Death certificate issued from the 'Life Care Hospital'. The name of the person being Arun Malhotra. So most probably he was her father... Biological father, cause she could never think of any other man except ACP sir taking that place in her life. For her, he was her everything... Her whole family... Her superhero and her idol for life. She had never cared to know about her origin... About those who gave birth to her. She didn't even know if ACP sir knew about her biological parents! Cause she never asked him this! It hardly mattered to her and by asking such a question she never wanted to hurt her father.
Getting back to the certificate she realized that this man died almost a month after she was born. But it was the reason of death that shook her... It being 'Bullet wound'. The very next document was again a death certificate of a lady named 'Gayatri Malhotra' with the reason of death again being 'Bullet wound'! Most probably her it was her biological mother...
Arya - Bullet wound!!! Goli lagne se maut hui thi inki... Lekin unhe goli lagi kyu? Kisne mara hoga unhe? Kya yehi woh innocent log hai jinke bare mai uss note mai likha tha! (After a moment) Mujhe pata karna hoga... Lekin kaise? Ha yeh hospital jisne inka death certificate issue kiya tha... Wahi se kuch pata chal sakta hai. I will have to go there now!
Deciding she had a quick look around the whole house but finding nothing else useful she left through the way she came in... Speeding away in her car soon she reached Life Care Hospital
*Hospital, reception*
A beautiful young girl entered the hospital area. She was wearing a navy blue jeans, olive coloured t shirt and a black jacket... Her hair beautifully styled and she was holding a writing pad in her hand with a few papers attached to it. Attracting the gazes of people around she walked confidently towards the reception... The receptionist was a middle aged lady who was busy in her work...
Arya - Excuse me ma'am...
Receptionist - Yes?
Arya - Woh mai na journalism ki student hu! Sreya Sen... Woh humare borinngggg (stressing) se college ne na ek assignment di hai. Of interviewing some hospital staff like wardboys, nurses, doctors etc etc! So...
Receptionist - (cutting her words in between) Dekhiye working hours mai app kisi ka interview nahi le sakti... App please baad mai aayega
Arya - Please jane dijiye na Rohini ma'am!
Receptionist looked at her with questioning gaze as to how she knew her name... When Arya indicated towards the paper receptionist just signed
Arya - Kal submission ki last date hai! Mujhe kisi kaam se urgently out of town jana pada isliye ab tak interviews le nahi payi! Sirf 15 minutes lagenge... Pleaseeeee (making a cute requesting face)
Receptionist - Ek minute! Yeh hospital hai... Thoda dhire bolo! Aur iss waqt koi interview nahi de sakta sab busy hai...
Arya - (with a dejected face) Acha ok... App ek karegi mera? Uske baad mai pakka chali jaugi!
Receptionist - Ab kya hai? (In a irritated voice)
Arya - App mere professor ko yeh bol sakti hai ki hospital mai sab busy hai isliye mujhe interview nahi lene diya apne? Woh kya hai na ki mere Professor Daya jo hai na woh bohot khadus hai! (Making a face) Humesha daate rehte hai! Mujhe pareshan karne ka toh bas bahana chahiye! Meri baat toh manege nahi! App hi bol do! (Removing her cell phone from her pocket) Mai call lagati hu unko
Receptionist - Rukiye! Tum... Tum jao! Le aao tumhara interview! Kisse milna hai tumhe? Kisi doctor se?
Arya - Umm... Kisi experienced person se... Someone who's been working in this hospital for about 30 years!
Receptionist - Kyu? Koi experienced hi kyu chahiye tumhe?
Arya - Ab uss khadus Professor Daya ne bola hai! Ki kisi experienced admi ka interview lena... Ab unse kon puche kyu! Phir se datne baith jayege!
Receptionist - Acha acha theek hai... Ek nurse hai yaha. Kariban 28 saalo se kaam kar rahi hai. Unse baat kar lo tum. Mai bulati hu unko...
Saying this she picked up the reception phone and then called the nurse... In a span of few minutes she arrived. She was in her late 50s and had half gray hair. She was a little healthy and had fair complexion and her hair were tied in a bun.
Nurse - (to receptionist) Kya hua? Kyu bulaya mujhe?
Receptionist - Yeh ladki aayi hai... Kya naam bataya tha tumne?
Arya - Sreya... Sreya Sen (with a wide smile)
Receptionist - Ha toh yeh Sreya ek journalism student hai... Apka interview lena chahti hai
Nurse - (in shock) Mera interview? Mera interview kyu?
Arya - Woh kya hai na ki humare professor ne ek assignment diya hai. Bas isiliye apka interview lena chahti hu. Lekin (looking around)... Lekin yaha kaise interview lu! App please canteen mai chaliye na. Waha kar lete hai interview, haina!?
Nurse - Ha ha theek hai... Chalo...
*Canteen*
They selected a corner seat, away from the crowd, near the window and settled down...
Arya - So start karte hai!
Nurse - Ji...
Arya - So app yeh bataiye ki app iss hospital mai kitne saal se kaam kar rahi hai?
Nurse - Takriban 28 saalo se!
Arya - Kya baat hai! (Pretending to be shocked) App ek hi hospital mai pichle 28 saalo se kaam kar rahi hai! Bore nahi hota?! Mujhe toh 50 minutes ki class mai baithe baithe bore ho jata hai!
Nurse - Beta life ki class mai bore nahi hua jata... Kyuki woh kabhi ek jaisi nahi hoti... Kabhi kuch subjects humre pasand ke hote hai toh kuch hume na pasand hote hai... Lekin top karne ke liye sabhi ko barabari se padna important hota hai! Kuch subjects hard hote hai kuch easy... Jo easy hote hai aasani se hum unhe pad lete hai aur jo hard hote hai usme bohot mehnat karni padti hai... Lekin har ek subject, har ek chapter hume kuch na kuch sikha kar jata hai... Aur humare zindagi mai aaya gar ek insan hunara professor hota hai. Sabka hume sikhne ka tarika alag hota hai lekin sab hume kuch na kuch sikha kar zarur jate hai!
Arya - Wow yaar! Apne toh itne easy words mai hume life ka matlab samjha diya! Brilliant!
Saying this she scribbled down something on her writing pad when suddenly she kept a hand on her forehead...
Arya - Mai bhi na! Itni bate kar li apse lekin ab tak apka naam bhi nahi pucha!
Nurse - (smiling) Koi nahi beta... Hota hai! Mera naam hai Minakshi hai
Arya - Hmm... Nice name! So app yaha itne saalo se kaam kar rahi hai. Bohot se experience honge apke! Bohot si memories... Kuch bataiye na unke bare mai!
Nurse - Ab kya kya batau! Yeh hospital ki diwaro ke bich na jane kya kya hota rehta hai... Kabhi dawaio ka asar hota hai toh kabhi duao ka! Kuch log marte dam tak haar nahi mante toh kuch jine ki koshish hi nahi karte! Kuch yaha se apne hato mai kushiya leker jate hai (newborn babies) toh kuch apno aakho mai aasu!
Arya - Patients aur unki family ko dekh kar bohot bura lagta hoga na?
Nurse - Bilkul lagta hai. Sabse zayada bura toh accident cases mai lagta hai! Bas ek dardnak hatsa kaise pure pariwar ko hila deta hai. Aur agar koi accident case aaye toh police ka bhi aana jana laga rehta hai! Unke sawal jawab bhi chalte rehte hai...
Arya - Hmm... Hospital mai toh police aati hi rehti hai. Accident cases ke chakkar mai! Kabhi apse koi sawal jawab hua hai kya police ka? Mujhe toh police se bohot dar lagta hai yaar! Unke samne jate hi hawa tight ho jati hai meri!
Nurse - Ek do baar hui hai... Ek baar ek criminal patient banke hospital mai bharti ho gaya tha... Iss wajh se kuch puchtach ki thi police ne, usse dhundne ke liye. Aur ek baar... (Thinkingly) Haa... Ek police encounter mai do begunah mare gaye the! Mare gaye logo ko issi hospital mai laya gaya tha... Baad mai pata chala ki usme se do log criminal nahi the! Jis team ne unn logo ka encounter kiya tha na us team par enquiry bhi hui thi... Bas ussi case ki investigation ke liye police aati rehti yaha par! Bohot kuch chalta rehta tha uss waqt yaha hospital mai. Bada hyped case tha. Media wale bhi aate rehte the doctors se sawal puchne...
Arya - Yeh baat kabki hai yeh bata sakti hai app?
Nurse - Haa... Kareb kareb 27 saal purani baat hai yeh! Mujhe achi tarah se yaad hai kyuki uss waqt maine yaha par naya naya join kiya tha... Sidha apni nursing complete karne ke baad! Intern thi mai yaha par! Yaha tak ki, yeh hospital bhi zayada bada nahi tha tab... Sirf ek hi building thi! Mera toh koi lena dena nahi inn chizo se toh mai dur hi rehti thi.
Arya - Hmm... Sahi hai! Jin chizo se hume matlab nahi unn sab mai padna hi kyu! Case toh yahi ke police station ka hoga na?
Nurse - Haa shayad. Lekin mujhe theek se kuch yaad nahi... Baat bohot purani hai na!
Arya - Koi nahi! Waise bhi mujhe kya karna hai uss case ke bare mai jankar! Chodiye! Mujhe mere interview ke liye jo chahiye tha woh toh mil gaya... Thankkkkk you so much! Apne mujhe uss khadus professor se bacha liya! Ab mai chalti hu. Byeeeeee
Nurse - Bye beta! Acha laga tumse milkar...
Arya - Same here!
And then waving her hand at the old nurse Arya left to car. Sitting inside she was lost in her thoughts...
Arya - Matlab yehi woh case hai jisme unn dono ki maut hui thi! Lekin enquiry bhi toh hui thi... Toh case solve ho gaya hoga na!? Toh phir woh sari notes chodne ka kya matlab hai? Lekin aisa bhi toh ho sakta hai ki woh case solve na hua ho! Mujhe iss baat ki teh tak jana hoga. Aur uska sirf ek tarika hai! Police records! Agar woh case yaha par kisi police station mai handle kiya tha toh mujhe unke record rooms mai jake check karna hoga. (Looking outside the window) Ajj bohot time hogaya lekin! Kal aati hu wapis... Phir dekhugi kya karna hai! Kal toh meri bar exam bhi hai! Uske baad aa jaugi! Ab ghar jati hu nahi toh papa aur da maa bewajh tension lenge!
Deciding to visit the police station tomorrow she left for home. After a drive of another 3 hours she reached home to find ACP sir already present there. He was watching some news over TV when she came in and sat beside him on the sofa... Seeing him calm she well understood that hw hadn't read the note she left for him in the morning. Maybe he did not go in her room! However it was of no use now as she was back home safely...
ACP - Kya hua? Thak gayi?
Arya - Haa papa! Today was a really adventurous day!
ACP - Adventurous? Tum toh apne dost ko milne gayi thi na?
Arya - Ab... Ha woh... Woh uske saath adventure park chali gayi thi mai ghumne! Isliye it was adventurous!
ACP - Hain! Achanak?
Arya knew that her excuse was too lame to be believed by ACP Prayduman. But she couldn't lie any better to her father. And she did not wish to trouble him with such a thing...
Arya - Haa woh aise hi plan ban gaya! You know friends ke saath toh aise hi bante hai na plans!
ACP - Hmm... Waise tum iss duniya ki pehli insan hogi jo apni bar exam ke ek din pehle adventure park ghumne jaa rahi ho!
Arya - Kya papa! Am prepared na... Itne saal se US mai practice kar rahi hu, it's not something too different for me to study for Indian bar exam!
ACP - Ha ha pata hai! Lawyer madam jo ho!!! Lekin phir bhi ek baar revise kar lena exam ke pehle...
Arya - Ha kar lungi! Ab dinner kare? Mujhe bhook lagi hai!
ACP - Hmm chalo
Soon both of them had dinner along with their sweet and salty father daughter talks. But they did not have even a slightest idea that this was their last moment of happiness that were sharing. A disaster was now waiting to enter their lives! A disaster that would take away their every happiness!
To be continued...
Hmm... So Arya's past is now unfolding! What happened 27 years ago? What was that case? What will happen as she will keep digging into this mystery!? Keep reading to know the answers... Thank you and see you soon with a new chapter...
